    Orange County Housewives Reunion Part 1:Absurd

     

    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.

    Lynne Curtin “Home Schools” Alexa

    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:Common Sense Not So Common

    As we have seen the Curtin family struggle from week to week on the Real Housewives of Orange County, this author gives his perspective.

    excerpt from the OC Register:

    From time to time, I’ll catch an episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County with my wife, and marvel at the parenting in these well-to-do households. A continuing story line this season is Lynne and Frank Curtin’s  attempts to get through to their teenage daughter.

    Whether this ‘reality’ show really represents reality, only the producers of the show or the families know.  If it is a true reflection of the situation, get ready to learn what not to do. I think the show probably distills a complex problem into very simplistic terms.

    As portrayed on the show, Alexa does whatever she wants, whenever she wants. She argues, taunts and cries to get what she wants or to escape uncomfortable situations. She has grown up with seemingly no restrictions, and as a 17-year-old, isn’t going to start listening anytime soon. Lynne tries to go between being her best friend and an authority figure.

    Talking to veteran parents, they have told me that I haven’t seen anything yet (my daughter Kate is 8 ½ years away from turning into a teenager). When a kid becomes a teenager, that age brings new and different challenges.

    As a casual observer of the show, you would think some common sense would make an appearance at some point. But I think starting early, standing firm and applying consistent boundaries and consequences will save lots of grief later on.  Ask me in 10 years and I’ll tell you how it’s going!

    And served. Between Lynne Curtin’s eviction notice and the fact that these ladies have no table manners, last night was funny as hell….on a deeply absurd level. 

    My mother told me, the first time I got married ( don’t ask!) to always keep my own money. Great advice! What the hell is wrong with these women?

    Why is Lynne all shocked and upset by this eviction, the second in three months? Oh right, it’s Lynne. Then she moves in with her mother and sees Tamra Barney for advice. Why? Same answer. Raquel sticking her middle finger up at the cameraman while on the phone with Lynne? A priceless reality moment!

    Moving on, poor Briana Wolfsmith.  Thyroid nodules may or may not be cancerous. Vicki almost managed to make it not about herself…almost.

    Alexis and Gretchen go to dinner and order Skinny Girl Margaritas. Way to go Bravo with the product placement. Vicki is the topic of conversation, of course, since Alexis is still pissed about Vicki snoring during her boring story. Taliban Jim allows her to take the San Francisco trip, but Alexis seems to think Jim will hurt the children….wonder why….ummmm.  Loved it when Vicki called Jim smelly…he looks smelly!

    In San Francisco, they go to Fleur de Lys, Chef Hubert Kellers’ restaurant….more Bravo cross-breeding. Dumb ass Alexis showed her trashy background by calling and texting Jim throughout dinner.  BTW, are you as tired of fleur de lys symbols around and on these women as I am?

    Classy Bitches.  Alexis spits out Hubert Kellers food. Didn’t know what foie gras was.  Into a napkin, at the table.  Reminds me of the Napa Valley episode last year. Word to Saint Tits:  5 Star restaurants don’t serve chicken fingers and pudding.

    When they shop the next day, Lynne buys an $1100 leather jacket.  Why? See answer above.

    Vicki invites Briana along as a human shield, but Alexis attacks her anyway.  This was the teaser for next week. Watch What Happens.
