Please, oh, please.

I can't wait to discuss the idiotic Tamra and her even more stupid BFF, Vicki...

1. Vicki is so MEAN!
I came the Lounge just to find this thread. I hate to admit it but it's true.

16. Tamra has to be one of the uglier people I've ever had the misfortune of seeing on television
Let's face it, I'm no fashion model. I'm over 40 and have a big ass. At the same time, Tamra's ugly clear to the bone, and Vicki gives her a run for her money. Talk about your "mean girls" -- it was the junior high lunch table in Coto all season, wasn't it?

I don't care who Gretchen was sleeping with. It's nobody's business but hers. Lynne seems very nice. Jeana -- I used to think her nice, now I realize she's just as passive-aggressive as her little pals. Lauri needs to completely rethink her plastic surgery plan.

3. Vicki annoys the shit out of me
She's grating and avaricious.

'Real Housewives' falls into the category of guilty pleasure viewing for me.

But not as ugly as Tamra's heart.

19. My advice: Get a beverage and a snack
You won't want to budge from the teevee while this one's on.

Unbelievable.

20. That fucking Vicki
The last one I saw was when Jeff had Gretchen's father surprise her with the red motorcycle at the party. Vicki wouldn't even go to see what the surprise was! Neither would Tamra, which didn't surprise me.

Meanwhile, Vicki, while she's bitching about Gretchen being an "attention whore," is screaming to everyone that she just bought herself a Rolex. Good. She can tell the time while her husband is ignoring her. She's so full of herself, and I have no idea why. She looks like a horse.

And that goddamned Tamra!!! She was already divorced herself when her parents divorced, so what was her problem? Crying and asking her father if he loves her? Jesus, there are some people too far gone for therapy, and she's one.

As for her son, I think he's got that pigface thing going on, which is unfortunate, but it's totally creepy how he keeps hitting on his mother's friends - or his mother's cousin at that dinner in Iowa - and Tamra thinks it's so funny.

Jeana's got a mean streak in her. Lots of anger there that she keeps pushing down. I'm waiting for her to blow someday. She has the most obnoxious kids I've ever seen, although Colton seems less disgusting than the two older ones.

Lynne's daughters are jokes, right? No kids are that plastic at that young age. My god, the horror, the horror.

So far, all the kids strike me as total wastes of life except for Vicki's daughter, Brianna, who seems to be a good soul.

But, I like Gretchen. I get the sense that she's totally on the level, and a whole lot smarter than any of those wizened old harpies realize.

They're so jealous of her youth and beauty, it's vastly entertaining to watch.

There. I feel better. Watching those "Real Housewives" shows is my secret guilty pleasures. I want so much for the Atlanta broads to come back.

22. Briana's the normal one of the show. Gretchen is harmless. I agree, Jeanna mean underneath.

24. Tangerine, I heart you
Ahhh. Someone to dish the dirt with!

Did I mention that our family's Thanksgiving dinner came to a complete halt when half the table was discussing "Real Housewives of Atlanta"? Yes, I'm ashamed.

>She can tell the time while her husband is ignoring her. She's so full of herself, and I have no idea why. She looks like a horse.

I was going to barf if there was one more reference to Vicki's "love tank". Seriously. Plus, I've seen horses with better skin and a lot less plastic surgery. Meow!

Speaking of Tamra, I told my husband that if he came home with a $35,000 diamond bracelet (after the word on the street is that he was let go from his job due to alleged overfraternization with female customers...), there would be some very uncomfortable and pointed questions. Tamra's also one of the more evil women I've ever had the misfortune of seeing on TV.

I hope Brianna gets out on her own and puts her mom on her personal "do not call" list.

Who cares who Gretchen's sleeping with? Whatever arrangement she had with Jeff is her business, and certainly not Tamra's. Tamra's worried about Gretchen's lack of "morality"? How "moral" is it to feed alcohol to a guest till she's blackout drunk, and then send one's 22 year old after her?

28. Simon lost his job???
I didn't know that. Tamra and that bracelet were more than I could bear. She really gets under my skin. There's something positively evil about that woman. And her mother - with the facelift? Oy, I was so embarrassed for her.

No one I know in real life admits to watching these shows except my one girlfriend across the country in - yes - ORANGE COUNTY! In the first season, she kept me updated with all sorts of local gossip - especially about Lauri, who was quite the tramp - about the Housewives. I am hooked. I really am.

And I you, too, girlie...................

30. Sorry. I'm from Orange County, and I'm too stuck up to watch anything
on cable about Orange County. Don't know how else to say it -- it is conceit, pure & simple. :shrug:

31. I live here in Orange County!
I hate that show.

Yes there are many here that are just like that. But there are people here that are not. Why elevate the nasty people and shit on the regular people.
