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.

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
