Gretchen Rossi… “Watch my show tonight… and while you’re at it, buy my purses! If you order six or more of my fabulous crappy-made-in-China huge totes, impeccably made very classy handbags, Slade will personally deliver them to your door!! If you order more then ten of my bags, Slade will also do two minutes of his stand-up comedy act… right there are your front door!!”
Yes… tonight is the night! The original Bravo Housewives are back!
A great description of tonight’s season seven premiere from the AVClub:
The Real Housewives Of Orange County (Bravo, 9 p.m.): For those keeping score at home: This is the first Housewives, the one that launched 1,000 backstabbing, terrible-single-producing, occasionally life-destroying spin-offs, which is now entering its seventh season. It no longer features any of the original stars—though, seeing as the various iterations of Real Housewives are the most surgically enhanced shows on TV, these could all be the same people with different faces.
NOTE: Please be aware that there is an error in the AVClub’s statement… Vicki Gunvalson is the original OC Housewife! If anyone is inclined, please visit their site and correct these people at the AVClub!! LOL!!!

That’s a fabulous view out that window, but her whole pose is just awkward. Like she is about to shoot porn.
Really? To me it looks like she is about to attack me… With all her wit and charm, that is!
I kid.
I thought Vicki was an original from season one.
Maybe the author couldn’t recognize her.
I thought Vicki was one of the original housewives from the 1st season?…AV Club is incorrect.
duffy: Yeah… but, will give AV Club a pass on that one! AVClub got the rest correct! Vicki is the one and only original Housewife… and Vicki reminds people of that often!! LOL!! TFC!! SH
Yeah, she does tend to put that out there….”WE GOT THAT, little chicken!”
Kind of like the previews of OC with Heather….”I’m an actress!” 
I think I have finally reached my limit with these franchises. Season 7 isn’t going to look much different from Season 1 or 2. Cast changes won’t make much difference since these women are carbon copied anyway.
From the “teasers” it looks like Gretchen and Tamra are now “new best friends”. Watching Vicki drape herself all over another man is not very tempting. And Alexis is about as interesting with her biblical renderings all delivered with her Bodacious Boobs hanging out. Peggy won’t be missed since she was always a shadow of the others anyway.
We’ll be treated to cooking classes, jewelry expeditions, more dinners from Hell, fake tears, boobs, and lips, a session with some plastic surgeon sucking fat out of the thighs and pumping their cheekbones, fashion shows, horror vacations as “girls getaways”, and unending repetition of whines coming from the mouths of these dopes. Somebody is going to be accused of “not having my back” and Vicki vs Tamra in who can discuss sex with the new partner will be gag producing.
I’m thinking of checking out and leaving it up to SH to fill in the blanks.
How much screen time is Bravo going to torture us with, by having Slimey on? I hope Taliban JimBob keeps away like he did last season. Can’t stand them or their significant others…Wretched and Alexass!
Click, I get this impression that you might have a slight distaste for Slade and Gretchen… Care to extrapolate?
Personnally I think some of the recent exposures coming out of these shows is slowly ripping the scab off of reality tv.
The first being the sham marriage of 72 days of Kim Kardashian. Few do not believe it was a publicity stunt with or without Kris Humphries knowledge.
The second was Bethenny Frankel’s claim to “being lost at sea” with a full camera and sound crew along to record the “drama”. Throw in the “therapist”, a “faulty GPS” (that wasn’t) and a gag order issued to shut up the “rescurer” and you have all the makings of “fake” staring back at you.
Third is the Taylor Armstrong claims of domestic abuse. The timeline as put on display here clearly shows the huge discrepancies in her account. A large percentage of the viewers just aren’t buying it and her book tour, followed only few more months from her husband’s suicide, is not scoring points on her behalf.
Even Kelly Bensimone, a living example that one does not need an active brain to survive, spoke of it being made up.
“Even Kelly Bensimone, a living example that one does not need an active brain to survive, ”
OMG! I am going to pee my pants at my desk.
Alls I got was, “Woo hoo! Effin bish! Woo hoo! Woo hoo! I’m an actress. You’re an effin bish! Woo hoo!”
Ya I’m gonna watch!
All season
At first I thought that was Tamra. The photographer did a very nice job making Gretchen look short, squat and tackier than usual. Applause!
