6 Burning Questions I Have After Watching Real Housewives of Orange County
Well guys, last night there was a new episode of Bravo’s very own The Real Housewives of Orange County and this episode really provided me with some burning questions. I had a hard time even narrowing it down to six! This episode was entitled “Scream Therapy” which I am assuming is a play on words, but I am clueless on this one. Anyone want to help me out with that? Anyway, let me fill you in one what these lovely ladies were up to before we delve into my questions.

Snap This: Tamra Barney’s Diet Pill Ads Are Not Endorsed by Bravo
Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney is now doing ads for weight loss pill Sensa. However, even though she identifies herself as being a Real Housewife, the ad cautions that her shill is in no way associated with the show or by Bravo. This sort of reminds me of that chick Tana Goertz who was on The Apprentice ages ago and couldn’t get permission to use the name of the show in her Bedazzler commercials, so she had to say “I’m Tana from TV!” More »
Is ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Husband Jim Bellino the New Simon Barney?
On the second episode of Real Housewives of Orange County, things got tense between housewives Tamra Barney and Alexis Bellino when Tamra asserted that Jim, Alexis’ husband, reminded her of Simon, Tamra’s soon-to-be ex-husband. Last season, Tamra and Simon were fighting constantly. Many of their fights centered around the fact that Tamra was outlandish, loud, and liked to let loose, and that Simon was conservative and cautious, and wanted Tamra to be conservative and cautious, too.

‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Season 6 Episode 2 Recap
Real Housewives of Orange County‘s second episode premiered last night. In this lesson, we learned many things: lesbian flirting is fine if one of you is straight, flirting with a hot guy while married is fine if he’s an “old friend,” friendship is always a competition, especially if there are kids involved, and that the man is the provider and the woman is the nurturer. Check out my picks of the best scenes from last night. More »
Gallery: ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Episode 1 Recap
Real Housewives of Orange County season 6 (!) premiered last night. After hearing so much about the upcoming season, I was getting excited. After watching the first episode, however, I felt like something or someone was missing. Maybe I just missed seeing a brunette in the mix. More »
Get Caught Up with the ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’
The first ladies of Bravo are back! Real Housewives of Orange County is back for its sixth season and premieres this Sunday, March 6. There have been more changes and cast member switches in this city than any other, partly because it is the oldest and original Real Housewives series. For one, there is only one original cast member left on the show: Vicki Gunvalson. Allow me to catch you up with your oldest Real Housewives friends, both present and and now off the show. More »
Tamra Barney Already Has A New Man
We all knew this was going to get ugly, right? Someone on the Real Housewives of Orange County cast must have a direct line to an editor at Radar Online, because they were the first ones to report that newly single Tamra Barney (remember her husband Simon filed for a divorce last month) hooked up with one of Simon’s friends over the weekend in Las Vegas. OUCH!
The story is Simon was in Vegas last weekend, hanging out at the Hard… More »
Vicki and Simon Compete For The Title Of Worst Person Ever
Happy Friday! How did you all feel about last night’s episode of Real Housewives of Orange County?I haven’t seen the full episode yet because I’ve been moving to a different state (excuses, I know) so I don’t have the full magnitude of last night’s shitshow, but I did catch this clip of Vicki and Simon fighting over who has messed up Simon’s marriage more.
Vicki says that a few months ago, Tamra confided some marital problems to her, and now Simon… More »
Lynne Curtin Is A Big, Old, Tanned, Face Lifted Hot Mess
YOU GUYS. How epic was Lynne Curtin’s drunken freak out last night!? I thought I’d reached reality show nirvana when Nene Leakes told Kim Zolciak to “close her legs to married men” or when Tamra told Gretchen that she was always an “effing victim” but I think we have reached a new apex of dysfunction.
THE SCENE:
Alexis throws a “cooking party” as an excuse to get drunk and get Tamra and Gretchen to get along. They throw it at 1:30… More »
“Real Housewives of Orange County” After-School Special
“No Boundaries”
Original Air Date:January 21, 2010
Last week’s episode of Real Housewives of Orange County (which is leading up to an AWESOME looking fight between Lynne and Gretchen on tonight’s episode)) really drove home the spectacularly bad job Lynne Curtin did with parenting her forgotten younger child Alexa. It’s been theorized that Lynne and Frank signed up to do the show as a way of hooking their daughters up with acting careers. These two brain surgeons are totally future Academy Award… More »
“Real Housewives Of Orange County” Have A Slumber Party
“Let Bygones Be Bygones”
Original Air Date: January 14, 2010
This recap is hella late. Please accept this imaginary gift of a seven-carrot diamond necklace. Now, cover up your ass before God sees you! To speed things up, since we are due for a date with the ladies of OC tomorrow night, I thought I’d write a few love notes to them based on some trifling things I saw in the last episode.
Dear Lynne,
Let’s start with you. Despite the fact that… More »
Only Simon Barney Can Exploit His Divorce For Attention
The former Mr. Tamra Barney, Real Housewives of Orange County house husband Simon Barney, has been delivering a set of rich statements since Thursday night’s episode, where Tamra revealed she would leave him if they didn’t have three children. On that same day, a few hours before the episode aired, Simon filed for divorce from Tamra; a filing that made its way to Radar Online.
Today, Radar reports that Simon says it would be “disgusting” if Bravo exploited his drama… More »
Real Talk Abounds on “Real Housewives of Orange County”
Vicki must have the production team editors on her payroll because once again, she comes off as the most likable on this week’s show. It’s opposite season! Whether or not their vow renewal ceremony was conjured up by producers, it was obviously very genuine emotion on Donn’s part. And would any of you turn down a free trip to Turks and Caicos, with what look like the stock of an entire BevMo wine department chilling in the room? Yeah, didn’t… More »
Simon Barney Petitions For Divorce From Tamra Barney
Oh, dang you guys. Just a little while after I posted tonight’s preview clip, I got a little tip that Radar Online got a hold of Simon Barney’s petition for a divorce from Real Housewives of Orange County’s Tamra Barney. The petition was filed today and sent to Radar today, which makes me think one of the Barneys is coordinating this little media blitz.
The reason for the petition? Irreconcilable differences, and in a little note underneath, Simon claims Tamra had… More »
Simon Wants To Save Tamra From Big, Bad Gretchen
There is light at the end of the Launch My Line tunnel: the Real Housewives of Orange County are back! On tonight’s episode, Simon and Tamra’s relationship continues to suffer. When we last hung out with our girls, Tamra was being forced to choose between her friendship with Vicki and her slave contract (oops, marriage) to Simon. That theme continues tonight, with the below argument. Tamra wants to make up with Gretchen and “forgive, but not forget” and Simon… More »
Real Househusbands of Orange County Overstay Their Welcome
Last week, an article was printed by the Associated Press about how this season of Real Housewives of Orange County was showing the ladies having money issues. The rest of us collectively said: DUHHHH. And that’s all I have to say about that.
On to my Very Important Thoughts on last week’s episode. At this point, we all know that Simon and Jim went on the “girl’s trip” to Florida keep their little ladies Tamra and Alexis in line. Frank… More »
Real Housewives of Orange County Go On Vacation
Because their lives are so rough, the ladies of Real Housewives of Orange County are going on their Bravo-sponsored vacation to Florida. Rather than eat Cuban food and marvel at some beautiful old school Art Deco buildings, the girls are going to hang out in a swamp as if they were on the opening credits of CSI and hang out in some cheesy bar that no doubt is in the lobby of a W hotel. I am feeling hella snobby… More »
Real Housewives of Orange County Have A Boys Night Out
Oh, honeys. So much to parse from this episode! For one, this episode of Real Housewives of Orange County was not about the ladies, but truly about the husbands: from Frank Curtin dropping off his “babies” to get a little plastic surgery to Gretchen scoring higher points on her motorcycle licensing exam than Slade, it was all about the men.
Of all the husbands, Don once again is the most reasonable. Vicki has either spent some time in the therapists’ chair… More »
Has Tamra Barney Sold Her House?
It’s the curious case of the re-appearing listing: Tamra Barney, Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, was shown two weeks ago starting a short sale process on her Tuscan wonder in the gated community of Ladera Ranch. The house has been relisted and delisted several times since it first went on the market on July 26, and is currently listed on Redfin as “backup offers accepted.” It was last relisted on October 15.
On November 10, Jon Lasner of… More »
Real Housewives of Orange County Are Totally Bumming Me Out, Man
Oh, housewives. Last night’s episode of Real Housewives of Orange County is when the ladies started to earn the “real” in their title, except for new housewife Alexis and her husband Jim, who at this point, are on an entirely different show. I would say they’re on a whole new planet, one where eating a donut leads to an immediate 100 pound weight gain and where instead of saying “Yes,” we say “seven carats” (or as Gretchen Rossi likes to… More »
