Random Thoughts on episode 2.
Crawfish in a baggie? Never had that presentation in New Orleans.
Vicki Gunvalson buys Brooks Ayers clothing? Please Donn, go for your half, not for nothing is California a community property state. She claims she can’t support the house without Donn’s paycheck, but she’s buying clothing for the grifter? Good move, Brooks, a card a day. In 5 years, Vicki will wish she had Donn back.
Tamra really? Calling Gretchen out on the obvious lip enhancement at the dinner table? Trying to like Tamra this season……trying. Taking Brooks hand and placing it on her boob? I’ll bet Simon Barney is laughing, saying “see what I had to deal with’?
No, Gretchen Rossi, you are not a type A personality. Bethenny Frankel is a type A personality. Yes, Slade Smiley will do anything to be a Housewife, including be your bitch. We now know why Gretchen wears so much makeup. Too bad she can’t find a happy medium. No Slade, when Heather Dubrow said to Gretchen “you’re so cute”, she was saying that in the same way Andy Cohen tells her she “looks so pageant” , not as a dig on her youth, a dig on her overdone presentation.
It will be interesting to see how Heather fits into this. I’ll watch her just to see normal, well taken care of hair, makeup and clothing. Again, the dress she wore to the dinner party cost more than everything the other women wore combined, and showed good taste, an element seriously lacking on this show since its’ inception. Bud Jew? Wouldn’t touch that with a ten-foot pole.
And finally, Alexis Bellino and Peggy Tanous. Despite the fact that Jim and Alexis Bellino vowed to never discuss old relationships when they got together, Jim should have told Alexis the moment Peggy came on that show.
This episode was Peggy’s last appearance. Peggy left the show because of the foreclosure mess she is in, which Bravo producers would not leave out of her storyline. The Bellinos managed to rent a house on Dana Point before the season began, the Tanous’ decided to sue the bank in May.2011 to dodge foreclosure. Good on Alexis (did I really say that?) in shutting Peggy down in the limo, not allowing that last bit of camera-drama.
PEGGY TANOUS’ HOME IN FORECLOSURE
ALEXIS RENTS HOUSE IN DANA POINT
Next week, we see Slade Smiley screaming about Vicki and calling her a bitch. I don’t know about anyone else, men always involved in the girl drama are not real men to me. In my opinion Bitch knows bitch.

Vicki is a fake…much like the rest. All of a sudden she is serving craw fish in a bag? She made a big mistake trading Donn in for what’s his face. Donn has more class than that moniless user will ever have.
It was shocking, but oddly not surprising, to see how ugly Gretchen is without her makeup – ugh!! She looked like she hadn’t slept in weeks and her skin is terrible.
Oh, I was SO horrified by Gretchen with no makeup! WOW! I never imagined her to be so not ggod looking without makeup. We all knew she didnt ahve very good skin; you could see that at certain angles. But I never expected what we saw in this episode. Now we know why she is never seen without the full pagent drag.
I’ll bet we will never see her without full makeup ever again. She probably didnt know she would look so bad either.
Crawfish served like that, or similiar (sometimes served in a paper bag) is very common. Even if they had never eaten crawfish, the comments Gretchen and dumbass Alexis made were just plain igorant.
***oops…I mean’t ignorant***
I’m not a fan of the craw fish in a bag but it’s not that uncommon. I live in Vegas and there are two popular restaurants that I know of that do it, bag, bib and all.
And up until last night this season Vicki made it seem like she was the breadwinner. Nice to learn the truth.
Vicki, Vicki, Vicki…words simply can not explain the situation you have gotten yourself into, but I will try my best to do so. Vicki, you did not like Donn because he had his OWN opinion. He is a capable man who has a mind of his own and you simply did not like that. Donn is assisting in paying a portion of the mortgage, which is something your new beau Brooks can not do and I truly believe he would not do if he could. Men like that live for women like Vicki, she buys him what he needs, pays his expenses and that makes her feel needed. He buys cards in bulk, gives them to her and im sure the other women in his life who are needy, and he is satisfied. Vicki girl, you done got your self into one heap of a jam!
I like Heather too. Already though she seems to stick out like a sore thumb among these “ladies” and I use the term loosely. She has a style and class these women obviously lack. She is sophisticated and intelligent. Vicki’s new beau Brooks looks ALOT like Donn–its always puzzling to me when a person leaves their spouse for someone who looks and acts alot like their old one. I agree with you about the mushy cards, though. Vicki is a ballbreaker who will get tired of that in no time. Soon she will be complaining that her “love tank” is too full, and will be emasculating Brooks like she did Donn in a hot minute. Can anyone tell me why Gretchen’s friend Sara came dressed to Vicki’s party in old jeans and a cheap tank top when everyone else was clearly dressed up for the occasion? Gretchen was a little casual as well, which isn’t like her. Usually it looks as if it took her five hours to get ready for an event. Tamra is tacky as usual. I don’t blame Eddie, who usually seems very even-tempered, for finally getting exasperated with her. Peggy was ok, but I won’t miss her too much. She never really added much to the show. Even Alexis is better to have on that show for comic relief if nothing else.
I thought the same thing about Brooks. I thought he was like a lower rent Donn. You know how Patrick Swayze had the brother (cannot recall his name, but might be Don)? they looked a lot alike and you could tell they were brothers, but there were a few things different enough about the brother that he was not good looking and Patrick was. Not saying that Donn is a real looker, but he is the better looking “brother” up against Brooks.
What a field day a good head doctor would have with Vicki. You could make a career writing textbooks about all her issues (unacknowledged by her,of course).
I like Heather.. I like her husband.. you can tell a lot about a man in the way he interacts with his children.. and her house is stunning.
