What a sad season finale for the Real Housewives of Orange County. This trainwreck has gone, in five seasons, from high camp to Greek tragedy.
All I was looking forward to was the appearance of Jo de la Rosa, original housewife and ex of Slade Smiley. Alas, that was not to be, instead we get Lauri Waring telling Gretchen Rossi the truth about Slade.
Oh well, on the the Curtin girls. What a sad commentary on the parenting skills of Lynne and Frank, claiming not to know those girls were drinking in the limousine. Equally sad was Slade Smiley feeling the need to tell Frank, thus assuring more camera time for himself. It’s not like Slade gives a damn.
Every time you think you know how little control the parents have, you find out more. Alexa really didn’t understand why she couldn’t have a drink, meaning her parents never said no at home. The whole family needs to be in rehab.
Kara Keough coming along to talk Alexa off the ledge was a great camera moment for Kara, for Alexa, not so much.
We are left wondering if the Curtin’s will be invited back, if there is a season 6. They won’t turn down the invitation…let’s not forget the $90.000 they made this season. They need the money…
Watch What Happens
I don’t understand why these reality show families act like they are so poor. Are they THAT bad with their money? Clearly they are paid to do the show. How can Sonja Morgan file bankruptcy when she gets paid to do the show, and how come Lynn was evicted, etc. My mortgage would be paid before anything else.
