They’re ba-ack. After taking a week off along with Top Chef, the Real Housewives of Orange County are returning tonight to give us more Tuscan architecture porn.
On tonight’s episode, Vicki has a “Southern California” barbecue (because no one else in the country has cook-outs in the summer, apparently) to hook her daughter Brianna up with a son of one of her insurance colleagues and to make Tamra cry. Actually, the latter is probably producer-inflicted pain. See, Vicki invited Simon and Tamra, and someone decided to invite Ryan, who hasn’t spoken to Simon in 6 months! Simon, like most people I know, won’t accept an apology unless it’s on Facebook, because that’s where he was “writing all that stuff.” Tamra cries in response.
What do you think Ryan said? Anyone out there friends with him on Facebook? Unlike his momma, Ryan doesn’t accept stranger friend requests. If you got the goods, send me an email. Anonymity assured.

Ryan is a douche. I don’t buy the argument that he “decided” to go to jail instead of the community service. My guess would be that he got hauled back into court for failure to follow through with the community service and that the plea deal for service got yanked. Either that or he had another violation that caused them the yank the community service option.
Maria–check out Gretchen’s blog today. She blasts Ryan as a way to get back at Tamra. Ironic becuase Gretchen also engaged in those stupid drunken things (and their are photos). AND Gretchen doesn’t know the difference between “carrots” and “karats”.
Edit: I typed fast it should read (and THERE are photos).
Simon and Tamra live on such high horses that their fall is really fun to watch! Poor Ryan – having a mom like Tamra would make me a loser too! She’s such a wanna be, phoney hypocrite!
@Angie Good thing Gretchen doesn’t have kids, huh? Could you imagine having a wanna be, phony hypocrite, fame whore, manipulative liar for a mom? Now THAT would really be something to watch!!
The seven carrots thing is hilarious. I have seen her make similar mistakes before. Makes me wonder if she uses speech recognition software?
