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.
Who ever thought Season 5 of the Real Housewives of Orange County would turn out to be “all Simon Barney, all the time”? From the first episode on, Simon Barney’s emotional meltdown has been the focus. This about a guy claiming to no longer wanting to participate in the show.
Poor Tamra. Not a Tamra Barney fan, but she put up with mucho bullshit over the years. Simon certainly didn’t appreciate the truck driver with tits becoming the main breadwinner, lol! With the loss of his job at Fletcher-Jones Mercedes, he spun out of control. We saw hints of it last season, especially during “Naked Wasted”. Funny how the character traits he married Tamra for became the things he tried to change in her. Isn’t that always the way?
The Limo conversation on the way to the finale was something. I’m surprised they were able to stay together for 3 months after that. But it was real, and it let us see the impending separation.
Blaming all his troubles on Vicki Gunvalson and feeling so threatened by her success shows how fragile his little ego is. Then bitching and whining everywhere, first on his Bravo blog, then on his Facebook page, put the icing on the cake. Would we know about Eddie Judge were it not for Simon? Probably not.
He won’t appear on the reunion show, so we may have seen the last of Simon Barney. Maybe.
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.
The bitch is hungry. She sold herself to a man who will not allow her to eat. Everyone else in her world has to suffer because of it. She obviously has an eating disorder.
Ever notice her worst behavior with the other women is exhibited at meals. Jim Bellino is undeniably an ass, but I think the meal ritual is difficult for her, probably because she has an eating disorder. She always seems to pick a fight or stir up shit at mealtime. When she’s not doing that, she’s ordering something complicated or with a ton of specifications. I think the latter behavior is to give herself a way out if she starts to freak out and worry about calories–if her "specs" aren’t met, she can use this to justify picking at her food or not drinking her sugary drink. Similarly, the preposterous cavalcade of calls to Jim at Chef Keller’s was another method (along with spitting out the foie gras) to take the focus off food. Of COURSE she can’t eat! Can’t everyone see she is nauseated from the taste? And that it’s rude to chew while on the phone?
Notice, too, that the attack on Mel at Gretchen’s was launched after Mel and Jim were sidling up to the snack table. How infuriating for hungry, cranky Alexis to see Jim chatting it up with an EATER, when she (Alexis) has consistently been a paragon of control and denial! And, finally, the pitiful brunch offered to the jackleg preacher and his wife is an example of Alexis’s idea of a proper breakfast–one that does not tempt her in the least. No hot food. Scrambling some eggs is not that complicated; bacon is easily made in the microwave. And did she serve them in the kitchen? We may be seeing two houses with the Bellino’s. more on that later. Jim is appearing on the reunion show…ugh! If he is loves to humiliate her on national TV, what must home be like?
Why bother with long, rambling prayers when you’ve already sold your soul to the devil?
And then, her “as seen on TV” preacher espouses fasting! He’s got the OC Housewives number… let the bucks roll in.
Her days on the show may be numbered. turns out, she really pissed off Andy Cohen during the live interview on Watch What Happens: Live! with Wendy Williams. She got pissed and had a major meltdown because Wendy said Vicki Gunvalson was her favorite!
