Ladies, ladies, ladies!!! I know I am late reporting on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Orange County’s reunion show so please forgive me. BUT, I set aside some time this evening to give you my thoughts.
First of all, why were Tamra and Vicky sitting on one side and Gretchen, Jeana and Lynne sitting on the opposite side? When I saw that I knew the reunion show would be action packed.
It was very obvious that Vicky was the ringleader of the group and that she was the “IT” friend to have on your side. Tamra seemed to try really hard to be cool and just kick it with Vicky, and it worked! I guess with Lori’s absence this season, the empty shoes were game to fill.  Tamra, ironically, not only lacks class identified by us bloggers but her husband put her through etiquette classes.  HUNH?  That isn’t sexy!  Her husband treats her like a trophy wife.  And though I hate to say it, the sun isn’t being kind to her fair skin. She should think again about getting a facelift in a year or two.
Jeana. POOR JEANA! You can tell she just wants to be loved so badly and has accepted everyone in her life walking all over her, including her a-hole of a husband, obnxious kids and Vicky. Though Vicky and Jeana have been friends the longest, it was obvious that the friendship is on its way out the door.
Lynne– I am not sure what to say.  She seems really sensitive, but she just doesn’t have a CLUE!  The girls pegged her right about not being so smart, though I don’t think she is that dumb. She just seems like a woman who hasn’t had to think for herself in a very long time and is struggling to get her wits together.  Her kids are whiny and bratty and the oldest needs to get a J-O-B because she really isn’t that cute and her whining will surely get on someone’s nerves very quickly.
Then there is GRETCHEN! I actually wanted to talk about her first but I felt I would cheat you out of my thoughts on the others. I really liked and felt for Gretchen when she first joined the ladies. They were very jealous of her youth and beauty. However, as the season progressed, I began to question more and more WHY and HOW she fits in with the girls and WHAT she saw in Jeff.
There were blog rumors about her actually being a caretaker for Jeff (God rest his soul) and I began to look closely at the dynamics of their relationship on the show. Gretchen seemed distant.  Traveling with friends, out shopping, and doing more and more things away from the home with her excuse being, “You just don’t know until you’ve had your husband sick with cancer.”  That became annoying. The straw that broke the camel’s back was the episode where Gretchen was upset because the kids called their mother to come because Gretchen wasn’t spending enough time with him. Gretchen had the nerve to complain that his ex-wife came in to check on him. UM, but, weren’t you at Bass Lake GRETCHEN?!
So, imagine MY thrill when Tamra OUTS Gretchen on the show??  Apparently the blogs were right all along! Watch the clip and pay attention to Gretchen’s face:

Here’s Gretchen and Jay, her true boyfriend, during the show’s filming.

G and J new year

Soak it in. Here’s another, and yes that’s the engagement ring Jeff gave her. Dominique told me that she learned Gretchen actually has Jay’s name tattooed on her ring finger. Classy if that’s true.

This is tragic people and she is disgusting for going along with her plot to get on television pretending to be a dying man’s fiancee. BOO BOO ON YOU! Guess we won’t see her next season?
Well party people, those are my abbreviated thoughts. If you want to debate or chat about it, send me your comment.
