The reunion “special” was the cherry on the poisonous cake that was this season. The way Vicki and Tamra sat there and acted innocent, as if they were the victims, deserves attention from Emmy voters. Even Andy Cohen seemed afraid to cross them which is why he tended to agree more with what they said (or just sit quietly) instead of trying to temper their attacks on Gretchen and Lynne. That’s classic bully behavior. For fear that s/he will become the target of the bully(ies) him/herself, the person takes the side of the bully instead of standing up for the victim. Bravo, perhaps, a bouncer or a warden instead of a host for the next reunion special?

I thought the most shudder-worthy part of this particular episode was when Lynne started crying in response to Jeana’s remark and Vikci took that as an opportunity to accuse Lynne of saying things that made her cry. And speaking of Vicki (and most of the housewives) attacking Lynne for her parenting skills — which are admittedly worrisome, especially as far as the underage drinking and entitled behavior of her eldest daughter goes — have they met their own children? Vicki’s kids can’t stand her (and it is mortifying for the audience to watch her force her daughter into saying she loves her); Tamra assumes the role of a drunk hooker in front of her children; and Jeana is emotionally abused by her children.

I really am surprised that Vicki’s husband hasn’t left her. He seems like a nice person. I wonder if she’ll castrate him in Season Five because she’s already gone through everything else in her arsenal to publicly emasculate him.

Meanwhile, Tamra vascilates between martyr (talking about how her parents’ divorce, when she was an adult nonetheless, ruined her life; by the way, if her mother behaved anything like she does, the “why did they divorce” question has been answered) and bully. I feel literal embarassment when she, like a broken record, endlessly refers to herself as the “hottest housewife in Orange County.” I beg for a new catchphrase in Season Five.

Wile I have no problems with the Wife’s , they are hardworking ..(most of them ),and they Play hard ,and it is there business how there behave in there Private life But as Mothers …all I can say ..if those overindulged ,Rude Crude and useless People where my kids ,I would throw them all under the Bus ,
They are ungrateful ,talk disrespectful,not just to there Mothers ,but also there Friends ,Look a Jeanne’s Son that ignorant Pig ,who called Tamara all kinds of totally Obscene names , wile they should be out of there Parents home ,and Contribute to Society ,have a job to also help towards there own Education ,they sit at Home and Freeload on there hardworking Mothers ,with the expectation that it is there God-given right to do so ,and actually think they deserve it ,What I wish for them ….HARD TIMES …NO MONEY… No one to be able to bail them out ,so they actualy have to Work
I would be embarrassed ,to admit t hat they are my Kids

But if you think Gretchen would have been with Jeff had he not had money and spoiled her with outrageously expensive gifts, you really need to think again. I’m sorry, but the gold digger label for her is not too from the mark, as it is for practically all these women.

Vicki and Tamra – if it’s not about you two, you are both mean and nasty to everyone else. You both made me sick at the racetrack – how you both treated everyone else. Inside when others were outside – outside when others were inside. You both dress like you’re in your 20s or teens – you’re not as “hot” as you think you are!!! Both of you!!

And Tamra – your dinner party….. what can I say? If you didn’t know meal etiquette before now, you must have been raised poor white trash or something similar. You also treated your guest, Gretchen, horribly — plotting in advance to get her “naked wasted” – and sick your trashy, creapy, looser son on her! I just don’t know what Simon sees in you – he could do MUCH better. Like one writer before me said….. you “sealed the deal by popping out two kids fast!” Yeah!

Vicki – you’re always saying “Gretchen just wants to be the center of attention” — well girl, we all KNOW that it is really YOU who wants to be the center of attention. That’s why you’re so loud, brash, opinionated, mean and think you know everything! NOT! Don should divorce you and quick….. you do not deserve him! You are not good to him – you treat him so badly I can’t believe he stays with you. Why should he? You’re a #1 bitch Vicki – mean to your husband, your kids, and your co-stars.
