A big : to everything.

Gretchen's fiance died in September. I read that in US weekly today.
Oh and why did Lauri quit? My tivo stopped recording before it ended so I didn't catch that part.

My DH and I were just talking about this. We live about an hour from Napa and have actually been to that restaurant (Etoile at Domaine Chandon). We are foodies and we were *appalled* at their cluelessness. I said to him, "Wow, we were totally at home and comfortable there, and they are uncomfortable and confused? Crazy..." :

not surprised. He was older than he looked. Too bad for her, were they married yet?

He was sick too. Didn't he have Leukemia?

[N8'sMom]

Yeah he died from the leukemia.
The article said "fiance'"....so I guess they didn't get married yet.

They seemed like they might have been more comfortable at Taco Bell or something. So weird. Even my 8 year old knows that when you have something new on your plate, you taste it and if you don't like it you just leave it and STFU. You don't go on and on about the grossness EVER. I'd die if my child acted like that.

I can't stand Vicki. The way she yells at her grown kids is unbelievable. I guess tossing money at your kids can make the loyal and willing to deal with you cussing them out. She's mean to Don and blames it on him, even though they always show him trying to be part of her life. The way she threw the adoption thing in his face was just mean.

Never mind the fact the drama of crying etc at the table. She acts like a 2 yr old. Wait, my 2 yr old would not do that.....but she would eat most of the stuff on the menu and her sister's portion as well! And at Taco bell too so I would take them there first. Maybe Tamara will take Vicky there next time too!

ITA about the adoption thing. Like that would make everything better- come on! Funny how she is always throwing at the 3 of them how she works real hard so they can have things even though these kids would have rathered have a parent around then a trip to Mexico every year. Also one of them wasnt doing anything and running up bills. He told her to just work harder. Then she calls them at school to find out about a test one of them took etc. I could not believe that.

[MichaelsSahm]

I am telling you, Vicki has like hyperactivity problem. The woman drives me wild. I would need ALOT of coffee to be able to hang around someone like that. ROFL!

I feel really bad for her. I really think she loved him alot. I like Gretchen. People think she was just in it for the money. I don't. I think she truly cared for him!

[Amys1st]

How about the new housewife?

I can relate to her since I too had a preemie. It was nice to see a young woman who also was a former preemie. I also understand the mircle child thing since I know exactly what this lady went thru.

I really feel for Vicky and her dd talking about her dd's father, Vicky's xh.
ITs true, even though she felt Vicky was a good mom (or at least said so) there is something missing for her. And I could totally relate when she said she wished she could take all the pain away. Even if I dont agree with her lifestyle, I can understand as a parent what its like to see your child hurt or in pain.

[MoonWillow]

I take back my bad gold digger feelings about Gretchen.
I wonder if they address Jeff's passing on the show.

I also feel bad for Laurie and her son.

I don't know what was going on at that luncheon at the end but it seemed pretty tense. I don't know who I side with. Jeanna does need to drop her ex but maybe Vickie was too hard on hers, separating him from his children unnecessarily.

[gromero]

I agree...the lunch scene was very tense. On one hand, I agree with Jeana. My dad was alcholic while I was growing up, but my mom never moved us away from our dad, and even though he was absent a lot I still cherish those moments he was around (and sober). He is finally sober and we have a wonderful relationship. I can't imagine how I would have felt if my mom moved us to another state. What I got from the talk about Vicki's ex was that *she* moved them to CA., found someone else and moved on with their lives....she strikes me as the type of person to do what she wants, when she wants, regardless of how other people feel or think.

My heart did break for her dd when they were at the restaurant and said if she could take away all her pain she would.

I really like Gretchen now. She seems like she really loved her fiance.

This show is kinda like therapy for me...lol...I realize that I am a lot like Tamara in some ways . That scene of her in the limo? Yeah, dh pointed out that I can act like that a lot. I didn't realize it...my girlfriends and I get together and we just have fun. We don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, we just kinda get diarahha of the mouth. But I am going to change that now that I can see how we look and act.

I admire you for admitting that and vowing to change it

[Amys1st]

who is watching tonight?

[Amys1st]

At least Tamara was a big enough person to admit to what she did and air it out. I dont think Vicky cared how shabby she treated Gretchan by telling her to shut up, talk trash about her and then openly admit "she dosent like new people".

Also that comment to her ds's girlfriend about not needing lingerie on her trip- she had her babies what does she need sex for? Either that was to say- abstinance or was it something else?

[asianyoushi]

wow i guess i need to watch this season... i watch the housewives of alantic and got a headache but couldnt turn my head away from the train wreck...

[N8'sMom]

I never did find out why Lauri left....anyone know?
