The Real Housewives of the OC
I must say I love this franchise. I think it is because they are the originals. I have lots of hours vested in them and it is fun to see how most of them have evolved over the years. Some have left, new ones have joined and there is still Vicki clinging on to dear life. Tonight we meet the newest woman of the pack…Peggy! Who’s feathers will she ruffle when she in unleashed to the wolves?
We start the night off with Gretchen and Slade. Slade is essentially working for Gretchen now but she cleverly tells us he gets pain in the bedroom and he is her bitch. I guess so his ex-wife can’t go after his earnings. What could he possibly know about growing a business? He is broke. Gretchen meets with her assistant and pretty much tells her she is her bitch too. Always be loyal and defend her no matter what or hit the road. Who is she the godmother of the O.C.?
Then there is Tamra and her lesbian trainer friend Fernanda. Tamra really tries to play games with this girl. She is over the top flirty and gives off the signals that she is open to investigating the enchanted land of pink tacos, but pulls back before it goes too far. She talks about the party and Simon. She is really trying to live the happy life. She cries fake tears over the fact that she and Simon don’t speak or are friends. She gushes about Eddie the new man. I suspect there is a threesome in their futures. Tamra is really looking old. She is definitely showing she is out of her former price bracket. Black roots, and her face is aging quickly. HD is not her friend.
On to Vicki and her fantastic insurance filled life. If she could marry an annuity or Life insurance policy she would. Poor Don is relegated to watching their new dog Walter. I bet he didn’t even get to pick the name. Don is slowing Down and Vicki is still going strong. Lonely life of existence. Vicki is off to an insurance conference in Seattle. She has a suite for her team and Brianna. If we hear “her People” one more time we will want to kill ourselves.
Peggy is Alexis’s friend. She has 2 daughters London and Capri. Similar in age as Alexis’s kids. They have been friends for 5 years and tell us they don’t compete. That is where editing comes into play I am sure. For everything one says the other will out do. London is articulate and Mckenna is barely understandable. Peggy’s kids model and Alexis’s son quit modeling. They just go on and on. Very annoying.
Back to Seattle. Brianna shows up exhausted and wants to sleep. She tries to nap but mother hen Vicki can’t let her do it. If she was my mother I would have killed her by now. She is over the top and Type A in everything. She was labeled by insurance execs at the conference Psychotically persistent about her business and is psychotic if things aren’t the way she wants them. Dead on description. She thinks her team loves her because she brings the fun into work. She basically surrounds herself with young kids she can control and buys their loyalty because they need the money. Shrewd woman. If you look at her team you don’t get the feeling they love her, you get the feeling they tolerate and use her. I am so sick of her Woo Hoo’s…Again, she is one of the most annoying people on the planet.
Back to Peggy…the OC gunslinger. She has obviously married a much younger man who smelled good. She is wearing a tacky open back shirt with chains going across to the gun range. Her husband is the greatest…of course. They hop in the Hummer and head to the range. We don’t know what he does for a living, but I am sure it is shady. He buys her a new little gun and she is over the moon. Of course she is the best markswoman ever…annoying.
Tamra is out condo shopping. The apartment she is in just doesn’t do it anymore. Tamra is shown a nice place but soon finds out it was the place Eddie used to live in with his former wife….deal breaker there. They move onto another one and she loves it. What Tamra wants, Tamra gets.
Come on my people, come on my people…woo hoo….guess who I am talking about….The vickster. They are drinking and bowling and having a good time. Vicki is match making and is annoying Brianna. How can someone so lifeless as Brianna possibly be the offspring of Vicki? Brianna realizes it is time to leave the nest and move far away from Vicki. I hope to God, she gets the balls to do it.
Gretchen is soooo busy because she has the Beau-tay line and the pocketbook line….she is trying to build a Brand. Good luck with that!
Everyone but Vicki is hungover and sleeping in the suite. Vicki unleashes the annoying-ness on the youngsters….she is pulling back covers, orders them to order room service, does emails….grrrr….Then says they have to clean up the room in 4 minutes, get ready and be on the bus. Cancel room service….oh wait bring the room service to the bus. They of course all end up on a boat and they woo hoo all around Seattle. They end up in a place like they go to when they go to the lake. Icki yes I wrote Icky is taking drinks from other boats and being the center of attention. She has annoyed her people!
Alexis and Tamra meet at the gym to work out. Alexis is perfectly couffed and Tamra looks like a hot middle aged mess. Tamra is jealous and can’t compete so she has to tell everyone how hot her sex life is. Those that talk about it obviously aren’t getting it as much. They head for cocktails and food. Tamra and Alexis talk about Eddie and Simon. Tamra tells her that Simon has told her as well as many others that Jim doesn’t like her. Alexis deflects and says not true. Tamra tells her that Simon and Jim are alike but Alexis says they aren’t….Tamra rattles off examples and then Alexis says Jim and Simon are a lot alike. Duh…brainwashed much? Alexis is starting a dress line. Jim is thrilled about it. Probably because they are bankrupt and need her to work. She is sick of being Bev Clever…dumb ass it is June Cleaver. Tamra starts about Gretchen and Alexis puts her in her place. Love it. Tamra doesn’t think their marriage is going to last….we will wait and see.
Episode ends there…boy that was fast! Can’t wait to see Gretchen and Slade fighting next week
