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.
No divorce , or even a hearing in the case of Simon Barney vs. Tamra Barney. But Tamra is getting her groove on with Eddie Judge , 37, of Ladera Ranch.
Tamra is expected to drop a “bombshell” in the Season Finale on Thursday, March 4, but filming wrapped back in early September. Since this bombshell can’t be the divorce…she moved out shortly after January 1, or dating Eddie Judge, what can this be, who can say?
