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…
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.
In an interview with vegasnews this weekend, Gretchen Rossi gave that tidbit away (see below) She and Slade were in Las Vegas at the premiere party for “Fly Girls”. to air on CW later this month.
In a grey BeBe dress, and without her pageant hair, Gretchen looks good in these pictures. She and Slade Smiley were embracing and hand in hand on the red carpet, never letting each other go. When asked if she would be getting married to Slade, she said, “I’ve been married, we’re just having fun now.”
Gretchen gave the reporter some reunion dish.. For the first time in Housewife history the men will be at the reunion show. Her prediction, “Vicki will storm off the show and all the men will give Slade a hard time."
