Real Housewives of Orange County. What music is playing in the background of this photo???
I’d like to say I’m tired of Alexis saying I am picking on her. The nature of this show is to say what you are thinking and how you feel about the other ladies . It’s what is expected.Everyone on the show does this. When we first met , Aleixs didn’t know me at all and yet she trashed me. She called me pretentious , made fun of my career, and the fact that I have a brain. This is catty and not empowering of women at all. I am now reacting to all of that. Yes, I agree, calling her dumb was not very kind. Very childish on my part. Although she does hang herself out there for it, I am sorry for those kinds of remarks.
My personality is I call it like I see it. The moment anyone calls Alexis out on her behavior, she plays victim. I have said from the start that I am trying to figure her out — she can be sweet and fun, and then she says other things and acts in a way I don’t condone. It’s phony. All of the ladies see it and are commenting on it as well. At some point, if everyone says you are dead, LIE DOWN!
GRETCHEN ***BLEEEEEECH!!!!*** ROSSI:
It’s important that I address one recurring question right out the door: people keep asking why we all have harsh things to say about one another all the time on the show, and I completely agree because I know it is draining on all of us ladies. However please remember this show is about having an opinion about the others — good, bad, or ugly. We might all deliver that information differently but at the end of the day, if we choose to be a part of this show we have to have an opinion.
OK, so forgive me in advance for this long rant, but since a lot of you have asked questions about this situation with Alexis I will address all the questions here. First off, no matter what, I am sorry that I hurt Alexis’ feelings because that was never my intention. I will explain my true intentions here. First of all I must say I think Alexis is beyond super sensitive to anything I say or do anymore because of my newfound friendship with Tamra. She claims in this episode that before I was friends with Tamra I would have been a lot more supportive of her, but the truth is Alexis’ own insecurities have caused her to change her thoughts towards me. Before I was friends with Tamra, Alexis wouldn’t have ever questioned my intentions with these kinds of things or be so sensitive. I am confident that I have remained the same person because my past record proves that I have always been honest and straightforward with her and all my friends, even if they won’t like what I have to say. It’s just who I am. I refuse to be fake.
SARAH WINCHESTER… This is Sarah’s ENTIRE blog:
Vivaaaaa Las Vegas!!!
I was so excited to join everyone in Las Vegas to watch Gretchen’s performance with The Pussycat Dolls. Even though I was going to be a day late and a fiance short getting there. . . I would be there!
Gretchen will always have my love and support in anything that she does. I am so happy for her and couldn’t wait to be there to cheer her on! All of the personal issues that I was going through with my fiancé at the time made the whole idea of a fun, quick, little, weekend getaway to Las Vegas with a few of my closest friends sound better than ever! Regardless of the high potential for there being some kind of unnecessary drama at some point — I wouldn’t miss this for the world. Take into consideration that this was the very first time that the entire group would be together all in the same place at the same time and in Sin City of all places. . . My gosh, it was honestly hard for me to fathom that I really was the only one around here that thought that this may not be the best idea in the world after everything that has happened recently.
On a more positive note, I was really hoping that with all girls being out of their element and in more of a fun,exciting environment like Vegas for the weekend it might just be the perfect way to distract everyone from all of the unnecessary cattiness between each other so that we could all just somehow manage to get along for the weekend, especially for Gretchen’s sake. This was her big day. . .we can all be adults can’t we? But just to be on the safe side I will be keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck Gretchen!
On Alexass: ”I texted Alexis to see where she was and what was taking her so long and she told me what had happened with her make-up. She said her face was close to a grayish/black color and that she had to wash it and start all over again. I didn’t understand how that could have happened, but after watching the episode this week there was NO WAY she could have come down looking like she did.”
On Wretched: ”Heading out to Vegas, I was in the mindset that I’d rather be platonic then to have this anger festering between us. Obviously she felt different than me and wanted to continue this bickering back and forth by not apologizing back. I feel she and Slade want to focus the negative towards me to mask his issues. I didn’t nor do I ever want to fight with either one of them. I decided years ago that Slade’s support orders are none of my business, nor do I want to be involved in them. Gretchen is the one this year that decided to reopen that wound, for whatever reason. My dad always told me that “the cream always rises to the top,” and if she can’t apologize for her actions then that’s her choice. I know at the end of the day, an apology goes a long way, and I was very sincere with mine. Looking back, I don’t know what I would have done different at Bunko, but I know I shouldn’t have yelled at her the way I did. Hindsight, I probably should have just walked out and not even given it “life.”
ALEXIS BELLINO: NOTE: Alexass is finding out how WRETCHED Wretched really is!!
I was so excited to have Gretchen over to see my Fox Five segment! I thought she would be the perfect person to ask because she would give me honest advice, and be very excited for me. However, when she claimed Fox Five had asked her first to do my correspondent position, I felt she was trying to steal my thunder. NOTE: YAY! Alexass knows the difference between a news “anchor” and a “correspondent!”
Of course, the minute Gretchen left my home I called my Fox Five producer to confirm if this was true, and she said it was absolutely not true. They were only asking Gretchen to do one segment as a co-host with me, and had no plans ever of giving Gretchen her own correspondent position. It was like Gretchen had to say that to make herself feel better because she couldn’t be truly happy for my success. Beside that fact, I have had similar things happen where I have been asked to host an appearance and I had to say no because I was already booked, then Gretchen would end up doing it and I never once felt I should call her and tell her that. What for? What good does it do? It’s a slap in the face, and not very supportive. If you live by the golden rule, you try to imagine how something would make you feel before you say it. Well, now I know firsthand how it feels and why I was right to never tell Gretchen when she was chosen second for that particular event — I was being a good friend.
The truth is, I have felt a disconnect with Gretchen that started months ago. I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what it was, but now watching all of the episodes thus far, I can see I wasn’t imagining it. The saddest part is that it only gets worse throughout the upcoming episodes. There are several things that confirm my premonitions. In an upcoming episode, something occurs between Gretchen and I (It’s “Gretchen and ME” not “Gretchen and I”… when will these Housewives EVER learn the very simple correct usage of “ME” and “I?”) that absolutely crushes me, and I know you will all see the true colors of all the women by the end of the season. There is an accumulation of several things that are very eye opening.
Lexass we have seen all of yous true colors for years. You need to catch up with the rest of us.
I’ve not been watching RHOOC (save one episode) this season, but Alexis never struck me as being mean spirited. Alexis isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer and certainly wants to pretend to have and be more than she is, but she doesn’t seem to have that mean girl gene like some of the others.
I agree. Tamra is a nasty old drunk and Gretchen is a nasty young one.
Just give her time, she will turn like the rest of them. These shows seem to bring the worst out of them all the longer they are on TV. They are who they are before they join and then they let them bad selves show. Everything starts to come out whether they like it or not.
I agree w/you CJ.. Alexis isn’t mean. Wretched had to throw some shade as NeNe would say. If Alexis does develop a little hardness it’s in response to the company that surrounds her. Her loopiness makes her an easy target.
Alexis is the only one who doesn’t see that her elevator never reaches the penthouse. She’s completely delusional. That was pretty much okay with me until this Fox5 “anchor” thing came up. Alexis has put herself out there now, so she needs to get a tougher skin.
GRRRRRR The ME and I thing irritates the hell out of me also. It’s not just the housewives. It seems to be rampant now that “reality TV” is a reality. Another pet peeve is when commenters use
then when they should use than. “should of” instead of “should have”. ok, I will stop..
I’m not perfect. I think I am just missing Taylor. Even though I can’t stand her, am having some type of withdrawal going on here. Have to let off steam somehow.
I thought I was one of the only people to be so incredibly irritated by “should of”, even some of my “intelligent” friends will use this phrase. It bugs the living cr@p out of me.
I love SH for putting in the grammar corrections in there!!!!!!! It irks the hell out of me to read/hear the “me” “I” mistakes. I also ahbor the incorrect term “in regards”. It’s “with regard to” or even “in regard to…”; not “in regardS”. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
ok, my 2 cents…. i am dyslexic and have issue with typing and spelling, but my pet peeve is when people pronounce education as edjucashon
What about good old “us,” as in “something happened between us…”
anybody remember in the Rachel Zoe show how
Taylor kept saying over and over to Rachel
“It’s Brad or I, It’s Brad or I” !! (she was giving the ultimatum)
That drove me crazy.
Actually, in that example, “I” is technically correct because it follows a linking verb (is).
THANK YOU!…all this grammar talk is irritating ME! (pun intended) LOL
Exlaxis, tired of her, yes Tamara and Vicki have been mean girls, Gretchen, I don’t think she’s mean, I think she has had to protect herself, Heather seems to have it togeter. Compared to Atlanta and Jersey, these ladies are tame! My mean girl list: Nene, Tree, Jill, Kyle, Vicki. Exlaxis also can suck the life out of you from the point of her one-up-man-ship games!
Freefall, dani, done with – agree completely about the 5th grade grammar mistakes driving me nuts! May I add to the list: “irregardless” rather than “regardless” and using an apostrophe to pluralize a name, ie the Bellino’s. Ugh! The worst part are those people who aren’t consistent in their ignorance, ie the Bellino’s and the Dubrows.
I for one don’t believe that Gretchen was ever offered anything from Fox5, otherwise I’m quite sure she would have jumped at the chance. It must be ridiculously expensive to support a lazy pimp like Slade for one and although she has been known to return most of her clothes after wearing on the show to Nordstrom’s, she must spend a ton of money on her hair and makeup.
Lol, I never heard that! How tacky and gross. Who wants to buy something Gretchen sweated in and got cheap perfume and makeup stains on?!
Debra: Alexass’ “employment” with Fox5 is as real as Nene’s “entertainment reporting” job and DonCaro’s “advice giving” radio show. TFC!! SH
Remember the first season that Gretchen was on? Remember how she wanted to be Tamara Jr.?
She got shut down by Tamara and Vicki though. Then all the stuff with that guy came out and the pics. of her on the internet and it added fuel to the fire. Then Gretchen started dating Slade who does not take care of his kid and Tamara and Vicki had justification. The whole time AlexAss stood by her and defended her. Tamara sees the writing on the wall and she knows this is probably Vicki’s last season and she decided to shift loyalties (per Bravo I’m sure) and Gretchen was finally in the inner circle!!! Gretchen jumped at the chance too and left poor AlexAss behind and now she is being just as $h!%y to AlexAss as Tamara and Vicki was to her. Gretchen=Mean Girl
Gretchen wanted to be Tamra Jr.??? That’s funny because Tamra is the one who has “morphed” into Gretchen. Same hairdo, lost a lot of weight, took out the fake boobs….. hmmmm
sorry if I offended Gretchen fans, not
I don’t think Tamra’s hair is like Gretchen’s, other than being long and blonde. She doesn’t have the side bang swoop or as many of the the big spiral curled extensions. And I think the implant removal was more about doing what she had wanted to for a while, but couldn’t because Simon would not let her.
oh no, what in the world did that makeup artist do to alexis? it is horrible, truly awful! i can’t imagine what it looked like in person.
Producer induced?
Um, when were Gretchen and Alexass not “platonic?” And does Jimbo know what his wife’s been up to?! Stick to the one-syllable words, sweetie.
Oops, that was Vicki, lol. Oh well, the advice applies to her too. “What’s it called? Fornication?”
