Sometimes I’m astonished by the sheer amount of junk I post about The Real Housewives, but hey, it brings the traffic in; so why stop? Well, great news. Those catty shrews forty miles south of me are back on Bravo tomorrow night. Yes, I’m talking about The Real Housewives of Orange County, who’ll be making a return appearance to the airwaves in yet another “Lost Footage” special. I imagine Andy Cohen will host this one with his usual preening smile (memo to producers: remember to powder his face this time), which is too bad for America, but hey, I suppose it’s a small price to pay for an extra sixty minutes with the ladies. What do we have to look forward to? I imagine more of the same — which can only be a good thing. Not convinced? Check out the above video which shows Tamra cursing out Gretchen over this mysterious Jay fellow (remember him? The alleged boy on the side Gretchen had?). I’m still befuddled as to why Tamra cares so much about this whole situation (oh that’s right. She’s blonde and jealous), and if you thought she looked bad on the last reunion special, wait ’til you see her in action here. Meanwhile, Andy does little to diffuse the situation beyond extending a few empathetic but empty comments here and there. It’s hard to believe this guy is actually a network executive.
However, for as much as the two blondes go at it, the real scene stealer is Jeana, who sneaks in two classic Jeana comments right before the end of the clip. Her jaded misery continues to entertain immensely.

I know you can’t stand Tamra and all, but I don’t see what you think is so great about Gretchen. I’ve seen photos of her wrapped around that guy, kissing that guy, groping that guy (all appearing to be taken on various dates as told by the outfits they’re each wearing) – all while wearing her “engagement ring” – I don’t know about you, but I don’t have any pictures of me with “friends” like that – even before I was married/engaged.
After seeing all of those pictures as well as a few other things I’ve heard about Gretchen – I just look at it like this: we don’t know the whole story. So I don’t see Tamra as some horrible/jealous person. I see her more like someone who’s fed up. That’s just my take on it.
Looking forward to seeing this “lost footage”, though. 🙂
You see, I totally disagree, livemusicjunkie- this is why…. (this is just my two cents- )
Gretchen has the right to see anyone she wants, regardless of her marital state. Wether or not it’s how I or anyone else would behave is irrelevant. Bottom line is that it just isn’t Tamara’s or anyone else’s business. I don’t know why Tamara even cares what in the hell Gretchen does. They aren’t friends, they just work together. I think Tamara needs to mind her own business and worry about her own family. Even if Gretchen is a lying cheater, what Gretchen does is Gretchen’s business, and Tamara has no right to pass judgement on her for doing something that she wouldn’t. And it’s one thing to secretly harbor some judgment or resentment at a co-worker. But to blatantly call them out and start telling their shit to the world just because you don’t approve of their behavior is just not right. I know they are on television and “signed up for this”, but I don’t believe for a second that they don’t censor themselves and defend each other. That is, UNLESS THEY DON’T LIKE YOU! I agree with B that when Gretchen came into the picture, Tamara lost her “hottest housewife” status. And, she is GREEN!
And don’t even get me started about Vicki Gunvalson… she is the most judgmental of all of them. She and Tamara deserve each other.
I like when Tamra espews her moral superiority on the televised version and drops F-bombs behind the scenes. It’s like crossing Church Lady w/Joan Jett
“espews”
spews + espouses?
derder – Believe me, I totally agree about it being Gretchen’s business; however, do remember that the guy called Tamra and conversations followed where Gretchen asked Tamra not to bring it up on the show – which Tamra respected. So SOMETHING had to have happened to change that…I was just saying we don’t know the whole story. So, I’m not defending Tamra – I just don’t hate her.
As for Vicki, she’s an entirely different story. I haven’t liked her since the very first episode I watched with her and it’s only gotten worse.
Tamra is such a trainwreck. She’s constantly on the moral bandwagon and then turns around and takes the low road. I don’t know why she seems so personally invested in any trivial sins that Gretchen may or may not have committed. I guess, when the bloom is off the rose, the thorns remain.
Gretchen, I actually feel bad for. Maybe she’s flirty and a tad bit loose, but she seems very trusting and innocent with information she confides. She’s young, she’s drop dead gorgeous and after being kicked when down, can pick herself up, dust herself off and find another way to have a good future.
The other women, I really don’t think that is the case. Jeana should sell a house, problem solved. Vicki and Tamra should worry about their own shiteous personalities and trivialities, instead of focusing on who another cast mate may or may not be fucking.
I forget the other ones name, the combo of wine and valium are depleting her of whatever personality she might have. We need a new housewife to replace her, someone that will really get in Vicki and Tamra’s face. That would really make this show pop this season!

Best description of Lynne ever. Cuff Love!
