Things have been a little slow on the site recently due to my East Coast traveling, but fear not. I have returned to my home base! That being said, it’s time to catch up again with the Original Wives (O.W.’s). You know who I’m talking about: The Real Housewives of Orange County. Gone are boring old Tammy and resident cougar/creationist/plunging neckline enthusiast Quinn. In their place is Gretchen, the hot young newbie who just so happens to be engaged to a very, very wealthy man (who’s struggling with cancer, sadly). I kind of thought Gretchen might be intolerable, but I’ve actually found her not so bad. In fact, she seems to have something of a head on her shoulders. Heck, anyone deserves credit for persevering through the “initiation” of Tuesday’s episode as all the women relentlessly harped on Gretchen’s various shortcomings and questionable relationship motives.
Aside from Gretchen, we had all the usual characters. There’s Jeana, who’s still amusingly cynical and bitter about everything in life. There’s Vicki, who’s still absolutely neurotic and insane nonstop. There’s Tamra, who’s still carrying the torch for all the gaudy Hot Moms in America. And then there’s Lauri, who’s just so darn happy now that she’s found everything she’s wanted in life. Translation: MONEY.
Good times had by all…
