What a dud.
The Season 5 reunion of the Real Housewives of Orange County was a snoozefest. Perhaps TPTB at Bravo are saving the good footage for one of those “Lost Footage” episodes they seem to trot out during a ratings slump, but who knows?
At least Andy Cohen called out Slade Smiley on some of his lies. Left the show after Season 2? C’mon Slade, Jo left and you no longer had a place on the show. His friend and Coto de Caza neighbor Scott Dunlop, executive producer of the franchise, gave him a show with Jo, Date My Ex, which was a complete flop. Didn’t really date Lauri Waring? The footage has been aired, and Vicki was there. Wasn’t it creepy that Lauri still has Slade’s text messages and phone calls? Can’t wait for those to come out. How soon will Gretchen wiggle out of her relationship with Slade? She will succumb to the pressure all around her, I think.
Speaking of the timeline and Gretchen’s relationships, Jeff Beitzel died September 13, 2008, one week after Season 4 finished filming. Jay Photoglou starts talking and blogging about Gretchen in January 2009. After my posting announcing 'Gretchen ‘s participation on the show, people posted comments about Gretchen and Jeff on my other website. In January, Jay Photoglou announces he’s throwing a party for Gretchen. The reunion episode takes place in February, 2009. In early March, Gretchen files her restraining order against Jay, Slade’s unregistered car is parked there, the Costa Mesa police run a make on the plate, so he is arrested for unpaid child support. They apparently got together around the time of the reunion, and Gretchen may have been doing some serious overlapping! Fast forward to Memorial Day weekend, when filming for Season 5 begins. Gretchen looked trapped in Slade’s lies. Kudos to Andy Cohen for calling Slade out!
Poor, beat up Vicki. Yeah, right. Threatening not to return for season 6 because the others are “beating up” on her, something she would never do. So comical, so typical Vicki. She has consistently beat up on every single housewife from day 1, season 1. Let’s not forget how she treated Gretchen Rossi last season. Thrown her husband, her ex-husband, Jeana Keough and every one else under the bus. Then denies it. Never owns it. Karma is a bitch. Hate Alexis Bellino , but glad she called Vicki out. But Tamra is correct, Vicki doesn’t see herself at all.
We’ll see what happens during the off season. Looks like Jeana Keough is coming back, as she mentions filming when she talks about saving her home from foreclosure again.
In the meantime, on to the Big Apple
Peace Out
