REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY
Season Seven Reunion Show RECAP
… by Sandi Duffy
Part 2 opens with the end of Gretchen and Alexis’ friendship. Snorefest. I hope it get better because last week’s part 1 sucked and so far so does part 2. They’re rehashing the Bunko party. Blah, blah, blah.
“You don’t look anything like Madonna! I do!”
Then we get into the Fox 5 thing where Gretchen says she was offered Alexis’ job. Gretchen pulls out emails proving she was offered the job. That’s pretty hilarious. She actually printed out emails from Fox 5.
“Can you read this email for me, Vicki? Jimbo takes care of all the word stuff in our home and MissAndy won’t let him near the set…”
Gretchen claims that they told her Alexis sucked and wanted her to take the job. Alexis then says that Fox 5 told her that Gretchen sucks. I think we need the people from Fox 5. And for the record, I think they both suck. Then Tamra drops the bomb, asking Alexis if she still works there, and, of course, we all know she doesn’t. I know everyone hates Tamra, but like I said last week, she makes these reunions.
TamballsBarney… “Had to stab you in the back, Vicki… but you knew it was coming! It’s the only way for me and Ellie to stay on the show. Sorry.”
Ugh, now a Heather montage. Heather is ridiculously boring. Alexis must be taking English classes from Teresa on RHONJ. She describes Heather as Flaughy Tauty.
Heather DO-BRO… ”Oh… another 20 minutes? Wake me up when my car gets here…”
We are back to bow gate.
NOTE: It has never been proven that Sarah snapped off a piece of the fondant bow from Heather’s “Naming Care.” No pictures… no video! AND… no one saw her eat the tiny tasty piece! SugarRushSarah has been falsely accused! Railroaded and then ejected from the DO-BRO par-tay! Call Gloria Allred, Sarah!!
Oh is Sarah going to be on the reunion? Please. Please. Please. Damn, no Sarah.
FINALLY–a Brooks montage. I can’t believe this asshole has the nerve to get on stage. I so wish this show had been filmed after 20/20. Andy reads viewer mail that is all anti-Brooks. Brooks claims he didn’t know Vicki was on the show when her began dating her. I call bullshit. I think it is safe to say that everyone watching is calling bullshit. Even Andy is calling bullshit. If there were bubbles over his head they would say BULLSHIT in neon lights.
Brooks Crooksy Ayers… THIS is what 45 looks like!
Now we have the Gretchen/Slade storyline. I think we’ve seen this before…in Season 6. Only this time, Tamra isn’t on the attack. Who would have thought that Gretchen looks like the smart one and Vicki the idiot? Even Andy practically calls Vicki a hypocrite.
Yay!!!!!!!!!! It’s Brianna! I can’t wait to hear what she has to say.
Briana Culberson, Vicki Gunvalson… MoronMissAndy
Brianna is pregnant and due in October. Andy calls Vicki a GILF. Andy is an idiot.
We find out Brianna and her husband live with Vicki, along with Donn. Vicki is such a friggin’ hypocrite. She made a deal over Jeanna living with her ex and now she is. Kind of like her making a deal over Slade not paying child support and then her boyfriend went to prison for the same thing.
Brianna reveals that Vicki was pissed when she found out Brianna was pregnant. Everything is all about Vicki all the time. Poor Brianna. I can’t believe she turned out normal. I want to yell at the television, “Brianna, move out of your mom’s house! What the hell are you thinking?”
I still love Gretchen’s reaction to Brianna getting married. “Does she not know who her mother is?”
I may be in the minority here, but I kind of think Brianna and Ryan just getting married in Vegas is romantic. I think big fancy weddings are stupid and a huge waste of money. And for the record, I did not have a big fancy wedding–just immediate family in my husband’s home…and I NEVER regretted it.
Vicki, Briana Culberson, Donn Gunvalson
Brianna still hates Brooks. YAY!!!!!!!!
Brianna thinks Brooks is in love with Vicki, the Real Housewife of Orange County, not the real Vicki. I think Brianna is giving him too much credit. I think Brooks is in love with Vicki, I-am-so-desperate- for- a-man -I-am-willing -to-financially-support-him.
Brooks Crooks Ayers… “I will always protect ma lady from any evil eye which comes her way… that’s just how Suthen gentlemen do thangs…”
Brianna claims Brooks doesn’t try to get to know her. Vicki goes on and on about how this isn’t true. Brianna calls bullshit. She says Brooks never looks her in the eye. Tamra jumps in and agrees with Vicki. Apparently Brooks outed Brianna’s pregnancy and her other wedding (Vicki’s dream wedding for her daughter).
Even Andy chimes in with, “Doesn’t it bother you that he quotes lines from past seasons?” Brooks wouldn’t appear on stage with Brianna. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm………….interesting. Vicki thinks Tamra influenced Brianna against Brooks. I‘ve never met Tamra and I hate Brooks. Everyone thinks Tamra influences everyone else. Tamra’s not that bright. I don’t think she wields that type of power.
Brianna also reveals that Brooks has been around for a long time and still says that her mom had an emotional affair with Brooks for years.
Holy shitballs, Vicki reveals that Donn was having an affair for twenty years! And Brianna confirms it! OMG. Did not see that one coming.
Vicki Gunvalson and Tamballs…
Then Tamra reveals that after she left Cabo, Vicki called her and told her she woke up naked next to some guy. This is like the best Reunion show ever!
Vicki Gunvalson in Cabo pool with Tamballs in red bikini… with a guy who looks like Donn, but he’s not! Hmmmm…. wonder who that naked guy might be???
Gretchen calls Vicki out on all her hypocrisy. Alexis and Heather look like deer in the headlights.
Brianna is so the voice of reason. She explains to her mother, like she is two-year-old, why the other ladies have a problem with her…because instead of owning her own mistakes she projects them on everyone else. Even Andy says that in seven years Brianna has never not made sense. Brianna for President! OK, sorry, I got carried away.
Andy gets everyone’s final thoughts. They are all stupid thoughts. And I really can’t believe that Gretchen and Tamra are besties.
Can we go home now??? Slade!! Get my body-bag purse!! NOW!
I. Hate. Tamra. I used to like Gretchen, but now I loathe her because she and Tamra are slobbing all over each other. I hate looking at Tamras face, I hate that she doesn’t know how to close her stupid looking mouth, and I have never wanted to see someone crash and burn so badly in my life.
I find her rather disgusting too! I didn’t get HOW Gretchen sat there with Tamera slamming Vicki for things she said and done back when Tamera was sitting right there beside her doing it to. Heck she was the leader! Tamera started the wars and sit back mostly watching the slaughter! She started in on Alexis the 1st show this season saying how Heather was everything Alexis tried to be. Heather was brought in as a show monkey.
Alexis didn’t do anything to Heather or her house boy Terry. She only tried to defend herself when they made fun of her. Anyone watching the show couldn’t honestly say different. Tamera is a person who I pray gets back everything shes put out!!! She has a lot of nerve telling anyone they’re going to hell!
I think we all know much of this isn’t real. But if they are going to put on a believable show they need to hire new writers!
I just read this comment and heard Vicki’s voice in my head for the whole thing! LOL
I second that. Plus, yes, Vicki is a hypocrite, but no Gretchen is doing to her the same thing she hated done to her (criticism of Slade but now she’s criticizing Crooks) so doesn’t that make Gretchen an even bigger hypocrite? Can’t stand ANY of them!!!
@RealHouseKnife, YES Gretchen is a hypocrite!
I have been so confused by her behavior this season! Disappointed too!!
The person she lead us to believe she was and like is a lie.
I feel foolish,tricked, and used for defending her.
We all know they’re all fake somewhat. That’s why I find it so crazy when they call each other fake!
Gretchen has always been about the money and making all she can. Honestly, why else would you expose your life?
This is where I believe Vicky is on to something. There’s a plan about something and making money is the core of it.
I’m a firm believer that forgiveness is best for your life because being angry & bitter will eat u alive!
But to forget? To invite this person into your daily life? I don’t get that?
Watch how Tamera is now using Vicky’s past trust against her.
Telling all their private talks and shared secrets. Why on earth would anyone want a friend like that? That’s about as smart as a woman who marries the person she had an affair with while he was married to someone else, then thinks he’d never cheat on her.
Gretchen best be careful and watch Tameras actions instead of believing her words. Tamera is showing her what she does to her BFFs right now.
First let me say, I wouldn’t trust any of them with personal secrets. Having said that, Tamera didn’t just start outing Vicki’s secrets, Vicki pointed the finger first by saying that Tamera starting dating Eddie while she was still married, thereby justifying her own infidelities. Tamera was separated from Simon and had started divorce proceedings before she started dating Eddie. Vicki, on the other hand, was still married to Donn while carrying on with Brooks for years, and even had a wedding vow renewal, while having an affair. Turnabout is fair play, and Vicki is the Queen at outing “friends” and throwing them under the bus! Vicki is no friend. None of them are…
@Callisto, I didn’t say either Vicky or Tamera was better, less guilty than the other. I said that maybe Vicky is on to something saying Tamera & Gretchen’s friendship is fake?
It confusing to me also Gretchens behavior. It’s even worse that no one called no one called them out for sitting there doing to Vicky what Tamera claimed she now sees was wrong to do to Gretchen. Or how Gretchen could join in knowing how it feels.
I hear ya Dizzy. The way see it is… Vicki has been dishing on almost everyone for seven seasons, and now her hypocritical ways are catching up with her! Tamera apologized to Gretchen and didn’t expect one in return. Vicki apologized to Gretchen in Vegas, and immediately afterwards said “now it’s your turn”, or something to that effect, and seemed offended that Gretchen didn’t fall at her feet apologizing and thanking Vicki for her forgiveness!
Vicki and Tamera both had a lot to say about Gretchen in regards to Jeff and Slade. I think a light went off in Tamera’s head after her altercation with Jeana. Everything she was doing to Gretchen was now happening to her and she didn’t like it! I think her apology to Gretchen was sincere (I may be wrong), and that in order to move forward with her life, she had see the err of her ways and to right her wrongs.
Vicki is a different story, now that the shoe is on her foot, she still doesn’t see she’s done wrong, and makes excuses while blaming everyone else for her bad behavior! It’s as if she hasn’t grown or learned anything from her experiences in life. I don’t think Tamera and Gretchen called Vicki out on anything other than being a hypocrite, and to me she is…
Tamera and Vicki have together caused a lot of drama, I just feel Tamera is now trying to hold herself accountable, whereas Vicki isn’t. All the ladies can and do dish it out, and in return should be able to receive it. Tamera can, Vicki can’t, Gretchen can, Alexis, can’t, and whether Heather can/can’t remains to be seen…
True enough Callisto. Vicky has looked so bad this season and who can’t see the effect the stress has had on her? Vicky won’t change no matter what they prove. She will never think she’s wrong. In her mind everyone is picking on her. Even viewers.
Her and Tamera have been my least favorites for years and still are. Loved Alexis & Gretchen! But my view of G has changed, she’s willing to sell her 1st born so Tamera will like her.
Although Vicky is getting back some of what she done to others I don’t like seeing her treated that way no more than I did Gretchen. (2 wrongs don’t make a right)
I doubt Tamera has changed much if any? She just has flying monkeys (Heather & Gretchen) doing the dirty work.
Last season at the end of the reunion Vicky said,”It’s just not fun anymore.”. That’s about how I’m feeling.
I enjoy watching Tamra… because she is the B**** that I will never be! Gretchen used to be my fav, when she first joined, but not so much anymore. I actually felt sorry for Alexis toward the end of this season. As aloof as she is, I don’t think that she is a bad person. She is just, well, aloof. And her husband is a controlling creeper.
Potato, potahto. You say aloof, I say not bright enough to compose a witty retort
Good right up mostly. But… I had to laugh every time you used the words, “even Andy calls BS and Even Andy…” Even Andy? ” he is a very one sided host. It’s not like he usually stays neutral.
He’s “IMO” the worst host of any interview type show ever seen by man!! Personally believe his recent behavior on reunion shows has gotten him some nasty complaints. Because for Andy C. & Tamera B. it was very calm. VERY!
DizzieMe–I agree. I just said Even Andy because I thought Andy would save it all for Alexis because last season she said she was against gay marriage. I just never expected him to turn on any of the others.
Aww, gotcha. Sorry bout that. I’m thinking he and Trashy Tamera caught heck about being so hateful or something? They weren’t their usual evil selves. Also, sorry for typo in last reply. Meant “write up” not “right”
Tamra looks like an old hag with all that fake hair and heavy makeup.Gretchen looks like a fake barbie doll with those doll looking hair extentions the way they have the fake shine.Take away their heavy makeup/hair extentions/fake hair color/blowed up lips/eyelashes/fake boobs/fake finger nails/spray tans and veneers and see what they really look like.Would be frightening!!!
OC needs to be fully recasted for a fresh new storyline.
Tamra has Hee Haw hair.
Of course she does. Or was that the nest that poor bird was looking for?
I was thinking she and Gretchen looked like the old “Frederick’s of Hollywood” catalogues.
Ok Stoopid Housewives do your magic and reveal who the woman is that has been having the affair with Don for 20 years! Must see pic.
My money says that Donn screwed ‘around’ for 20 years, not screwed the same woman. If that were true, he’d have dumped Icky long ago. IMO
They must of been swingers or had some kind of open relationship. Side action is probably the only reason he stayed around. Vicki treated him like shit. The whole family is disgusting. I don’t know how Vicki even shows her face.
Who can blame Donn? Vicki has evolved into a miserable, needy, desperate, aging woman
who will be taken total advantage of by Crooks the con artist.
Can someone please explain to me how Don could possibly have had an affair for 20 years when he and Vicki have only been married 16 years???
Well maybe she was up to her overlapping ways back then? Is it possible that she was dinkin around with Donn for a looong time before she left Brianna and Micheal’s dad? Expecting her side slab a meat to stay faithful to her while she “decided” and when she found out later that he didnt do that, she married him anyways and has been n a slow simmering rage ever since then? Chicken and egg kinda thing; her not being able to forgive, not willing to leave and Donn just wanting to stick it too her in the only way he knew how to hurt her best over and over and over again? theories.
OMG!! Long story short, (very long drive with Granma when I was very young), I asked her how is wife could leave him with “400 children!”. LMAO….(she did too!) /OT, sorry.
lol thats funny. My lil brother used to think this song said “hot damn, its summer in da city” and relished the opportunity to scream “Damn” out at the top of his lil 5 year old lungs. I swan if he thought he coulda got away with saying “shitty” he would have done that too. I will never forget that. Good times.
Oh my, Vicki whispering to Brianna to shut up! LOL!!!
No kiddin. I bet she sent her to bed without dinner that night too.
WOW. Crooksy has got a wild eyed look. He is scary. I would bet he has got one terrible temper. Vicki better hope she doesn’t end up in five trash bags tied to cement blocks and dumped in the Pacific.
How weird that he wouldn’t be on the couch with Brianna. I hope Brianna stays very protective of herself and her baby. WTH is wrong with Vicky that she can’t see any of this??
Oh no, you just spoiled Crooksies honeymoon plans!
Alexis,
The think the phrase you were looking for was hoity toity.
Used in a sentence:
Crooks says you cant spell hoity without ho.
Here is a visual aid:
Love,
made
Somebody please get the ladies a real stylist and makeup person. Looks like night of the living dead.
Has anyone considered how absolutely pissed to the gills Terri musta been to have not got a place on the couch? ‘taint gonna be a “date night” Crooksy. Dr Terri is taking his ball and going home.
I bet he was relieved to be out of the spotlight. Considering he’s an actual doctor and has an actual reputation to uphold, I doubt he’d want anything to do with this crap. I actually still can’t believe that he had anything to say about Alexis being ‘phony’. Usually, normal husbands would stay out of it. I’m sure a little Bravo ‘coaxing’ got him into the fray though. lol.
I will assume that he went on RHoOC willingly and nobody dragged him on there against he will so I’m not so sure that he is concerned about upholding his reputation. He didn’t have to go on camera or he could have chosen when he was going to go on camera or he could have chosen the words that came out of his mouth while he was on camera.
Nope. I don’t give him a pass because he is a doctor. As a matter of fact, the fact that he is a doctor works against him in my mind. If Heather wanted to do this show as a step in returning to being an actress he could have let her do it and stayed out of the limelight. He chose not to.
I can tell his ego is outta control….
Oh yes. She’s a maniac(I have decided to just start referring to all camera hoggin HW husbands and boyfriends as girls from this moment on) and she dances for the airtime like shes never danced before. Oh what a feeling
Funny how Brooks has been tweeting Terry about “Date Nights,” but Terry never responds. Brooks could just pick up the phone and call Terry, but then the Twitter universe wouldn’t be impressed that Brooks is on a first name basis with a famous OC plastic surgeon.
That just reeks of desperation!! A “date night” for frail old looking 44 year old Crooks is eating before 5, so he can try to scam an early bird senior citizen discount at the local cafeteria!! He may be few years away form having a AARP discount card but, he looks over 60, so I’m sure he gets 10% off (or whatever), and a free pudding!
Every time I see that picture on TamWhore in the pool I laugh for 5 minutes. Good Times!!
Poor Alexis is an idiot! She really can’t believe that Gretchen was offered the fox5 job first!! haha! Alexis has asked the crew, sales people, Leslie at fox5, everyone in town, etc. if she’s shallow, and expects everyone to be honest, but when they are, she still doesn’t believe she comes off as an insecure, pretentious, rude, pea brained idiot! Beauty comes from within, and if she doesn’t pretty up her soul, she’s going to look like the ugly, insecure, hypocritical, crazy lady sitting to her right within a few years…
Speaking of the craziness to her right, I doubt that she and Donn are going to be “amicable” and “in a good place” after she’s outed him twice, trying to justify her own bad behavior! Way to project Vicki! There is no way that Crooks didn’t know that Vicki was on RHOC since she’s known him for years!! He’s such a liar! I found it very immature that Crooks had to have a protective arm on Vicki’s leg!! He’s defending his lady, while slumped on the couch looking at least 65!! Truth is, Vicki could beat frail Crooks to ground with one arm tied behind her back and a drink in the other! He’s not protecting anyone, except himself and his 15 minutes of embarrassment!! The two of them deserve each other, and when he does finally hit the bricks (in her car no-less), Vicki’s pathetic love tank will once again be empty….not to mention her bank account!
Bow-Gate!! While there isn’t any footage of Sarah actually tearing it off and eating it, she did admit to it, then proceeded to tell Heather to GET OVER IT!! Then she tried to think real fast on her drunk feet and came up with her needing sugar story!! If she would have apologized and let it go, I think the issue would have been dropped, but she needed her camera time and wanted to appear all billy bad ass by charging into the kitchen to confront Heather over it! She’s a nasty drunk! Since she wasn’t at the reunion, I can only hope she’s off the show! The local bar needs their idiot back!
Sweet Brianna, bless her heart! She is wise beyond her years, and is clearly the voice of reason within that household! May she enjoy a life rich with happiness and love! She’s absolutely precious, and her throwing her nasty Mother under the bus was well deserved and much appreciated!
Lastly, how drunk/desperate would a man have to be to have a one night stand with Vicki??!! He must have drank an ocean full of tequila and not had his contacts in…
” Beauty comes from within, and if she doesn’t pretty up her soul, she’s going to look like the ugly, insecure, hypocritical, crazy lady” – att first I thought you were refering to Tamra cuz she ain’t pretty inside or out. I imagine Tam’s soul is black from from all that hatred she spews.
TeeHee!!! Tamera is ugly inside and out as well! However, I have to give her a little credit for trying to pretty up her soul. Whether it’s real or fake, remains to be seen, but she is holding herself accountable, trying to make amends, and seems to be happy, even though she couldn’t shed a tear if her life depended on it! HA Vicki can’t seem to hold herself accountable or responsible for anything she says and does! All the women seem void, insecure, hypocritical, pretentious, with the exception of Heather. She appears to be level headed, smart, less-fake externally, and speaks her mind without being means spirited. I have to give her points for not being a total drunk, and for not embarrassing her family on national tv. I can’t say that in regards to the other crazies… Run Heather Run!!
Terry is a wuss! Heather speaks to him like a child… like she does with everyone she can! so embarrassing! Tammy sueeeeeeiiiieee, was a joke and showed her true self ( TRASH) drunk and trying to fake tears, with Kara Jeana daughter, she was shitting in her ( spanks/ Yummie Tummies) when she saw Kara and she should of been, Kara had every right to tell Tammy Sue off!Andy didnt ask Heather any hard questions , I wonder why?! hmmmm… This whole reunion part 1 & 2 was boring…Andy did not ask the questions most of us wanted answered…
I can hear Vicki talking to Briana in the office of the wedding planner that Vicki picked out: “It’s MY wedding, I’M paying for it, and if I want to bring Brooks, I’m bringing Brooks. Now just shut up and let me finish ordering the flower arrangements from my florist! And by the way, I’m going to be wearing white. I suggest you do the same.”
Yeah, I can hear it, too. Briana should have just told Icky to take her wedding and shove it.
The reunion was totally staged by Andy. He told disgusting Tamra, fake Gretchen, and idiotic Heather to literally have an 8th grade gang up on the other women. They acted like horses asses. Also, Heather is such a jerk, she told Brooks that he was “extremely” rude to her when she approached them outside. Oh puhleez!!! Brooks asked her to “please not go there” and in a well mannered way. It was none of her damn business. Come on Heather, you are much tougher than that…..after all you were originally a Bronx girl.
OK, so Vicki said that when she met Donn’s girlfriend that she wanted to poke her eyes out and that she was NOT civil to the girlfriend…..Is the girlfriend THE AFFAIR person??
Oh ms SH I am so with you on your opinion of opulent weddings. I see it as money making scheme. My favorite story is of a co-worker who got married on her lunch break in the court house… now that’s how it’s done!
I like heather. I feel she is what a typical oc housewife is and she is funny.
Thanks to @stoopidhousewives i m pretty sure that #ole possum crotch s j ust about doneto in orange county.
