Absurd and dull. Thanks to Andy Cohen’s unwillingness to ask a real question, there were no fireworks, just absurdities.
Absurd: Gretchen’s denial of the general, world-wide Slade Smiley hatred. Buying Jo de la Rosa’s music catalog? Slade is still trying to hurt Jo, and using Gretchen to do it. Slime ball.
Absurd: Memo to Lynne Curtin: a wolf is a better mother than you. And the face-lift is fucked up.
Sublime: Vicki’s behavior (so far) Calling out Gretchen on Slade’s lie about his relationship with Lauri Waring, Gretchen needed to hear the truth.
Sublime: Seeing Tamra Barney come into her own, now if only she would get a makeover.
Absurd: Any utterance from the lips of Alexis Bellino, especially concerning her so-called religion. Fasting? Please.
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…
Speaking of Jeana Keough, she was wearing her tolerant face in that conversation with Vicki. All the older housewives, Lauri Waring, Tammy Knickerbocker, and Kimberly Bryant wore that face when interacting with the Vickster! The name of the face? You can’t change crazy, so go with the flow! Vicki crawling back to Jeana? Priceless! Karma is a bitch! the reunion taping must have been something, Vicki was into her “poor me” martyr role with Andy on “Watch What Happens”.
Speaking of poor, Alexis Bellino’s poor mother was a pawn in the plot. The editors must hate Alexis. Such stupid shit came from her mouth! Talk about low self-esteem. Alexis knows she will look just like her mother when she is 58, and at 31, she is afraid Taliban Jim will walk! Imagine being 31 and this is all you think about! There was nothing wrong with Penelope’s appearance that Stacy, Clinton and the What Not to Wear crew couldn’t fix! Her father? he died in November, 2008, check out the obit: Alexis Bellino’s Father. Yes, Jim Bellino presided over the funeral. O.M.G. Laying hands on everyone (ugh) while offering them a loan.
Speaking of loans, will someone please lend a brain cell to the Curtin family? Just long enough to, like, get them, like, out of the hole they, like, continue to dig for like, themselves? Don’t lend them money, they’ll get Botox, or take a vacation with it. Nothing like having burned out old hippies for parents! How does Bravo find these people?
Speaking of people, was the Women’s Empowerment Expo not popular? Either that, or the editing gods had some fun with Gretchen Rossi. The cosmetics looked suspiciously like this:Your Name Professional Brands Private Label Cosmetics, but whatever. Girl’s got to make a living without having a boring real job somehow.
Bravo will air a TWO-part reunion special with the housewives on Wednesday, March 10 and Thursday, March 11 at 9 p.m. The reunion will feature new interviews with the housewives Tamra Barney, Alexis Bellino, Lynne Curtin, Vicki Gunvalson and Gretchen Rossi, as well as significant others Jim Bellino, Frank Curtin, Donn Gunvalson and Slade Smiley. (Simon Barney is noticeably absent from this powwow.) Former “housewife” Jeana Keough will also make a special visit. The program will be hosted by Andy Cohen, Bravo’s senior vice president of programming production.
Lynne Curtin, who has been described as “dumber than a box of rocks”, has allowed Alexa, her 17 year old, to drop out of school. That’s what homeschooling adds up to for this family. What can she teach other than “How to Be a Grifter”?
I stumbled upon this article:
Lynne’s youngest daughter no longer attends school and is home schooled by Lynne. An insider says:
Lynne homes schools her daughter because she is so “busy” taping this show that she can’t be bothered with driving her kid to school. Her daughter Alexa lies to all of her friends about what school she is going to attend next semester, probably to cove up her shame over being evicted all the time. Can you even imagine Lynn trying to teach her child anything during the “homeschooling”. Ha Ha, although I do give her credit, she is at least trying to make some money, as the only one working in the family.
Despite her financial troubles, Lynne is still enjoying the good life in Orange County. She is a member of the ritzy Renaissance Club Sport in Aliso Viejo.
Lynne also was ticketed last May for not having auto insurance or registration on her vehicle.
Lynne Curtin was driving with no insurance and no registration.
