Off to Fox News where she belongs. Good riddance. Now she's irrelevant.

RHOC Lauri is amazing. Yes, she's being a total cow spreading information about Vicki...but that's the gig. And she is flawless in doing it. Lauri and Jeana need to return next season. And it's time to fire Gretchen who is truly too dumb to live: "Do you know much about Canada?"

Let's get real here JackPeyton, Gretchen is a lying liar who lies. Vicki's a piece of work, but Gretchen is no better. The filming date is irrefutable and Heather has no reason to lie about that and make an ass of herself. Gretchen is angry, bitter and sleazy, she's learned from Slade. Absolutely. Ramona is the star of this show and anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been paying attention. Bethenny burned herself out and Jill was eclipsed by the ensemble as a whole before imploding in failure. Ramona is a survivor. She is unsinkable. She makes the show. It'll be interesting to see how Sonja functions. When she's sober and together she can be amazingly effective, like when she laid down the law with Aviva at lunch after their trip to St Bart's...Sonja, sober, is calm, cool, collected and savvy. The problem is she's a mess if she isn't on her A Game. Ramona kept her ass in line.

Vicki has layers, Tamra is one note (albeit a loud note that you can't ignore through the sheer anger of it). Ditto on missing Jeana. To me she was the Queen Bee of RHOC.

Loved the RHOC 100 episode special. Lots of interesting views about the history of how the show started. And I liked how the Keough and Gunvalson kids got in on the action, as they well should. I also thought it interesting that the Housewives all said that they liked the show when it was organic and followed them, rather than created drama. The first seasons had that organic quality that has disappeared as other franchises exploded with organic drama, demanding all the other franchises follow suit. Most of all, I loved that the usual season ending guitar music played as all the Housewives discussed what they treasure about the show in the last segment, though Vicki lost me with "This is my baby, if I hadn't taken a chance there wouldn't be a RHOC"...because that just isn't true. Jeana Keough is friends with Scott Dunlop who created it.

Good for her. My wife and I did the same thing.

Jill Zarin looks terrible at Nene's wedding. That dress? That hair? The accessories? I really appreciate that Nene invited Kim. Nice to see two adults remember why they were friends in the first place.

Kim was at Nene's wedding.

You're only as good as the company you keep...Jill Zarin *and* Gretchen with the possibility of Vile Richards? Oh Nene, I expected better.

Oh how I miss Jeana. The original 'Greek Chorus' Housewife. As much as Vicki is the 'face' when I think of OC, Jeana was the best embodiment of Orange County, it's excess and how the economic downturn decimated the place. If anyone should return, it's her.

I just love it when someone whose honest and no bullsh*t is on Ellen...it makes Ellen SO uncomfortable and her fakeness just shines through and it demonstrates the difference between a REAL person and Ellen. Loving Wendy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H3hVLcbBic

RHOOC Lydia read Slade's dumb ass beautifully. She had a response to every nonsensical justification he made. She ZINGED him with the "Now I see what you are"...brilliant. She was 100% correct about the Miss Piggy story. "He should check me out less and pay more attention to Malibu Beach Barbie"...thatta girl! Gretchen's attitude towards Lydia, Alexis and Vicki is extremely ugly. She has this tendency to laugh like a dumb hick and act incredulous when she's trying to be witty. And she fails. Gretchen just comes across as this angry, bitter, jealous, bitch. Laurie looked like a drag queen with that hard red lipstick. And she has the gall to act above Brooks when she 1) cheated on her husband and 2) associates with porn stars/strippers? She needs to get off whatever moral high horse she thinks she's riding on that ranch of hers. Brooks reminds me of the evil Teddy Bear in Toy Story, his bloated ass is just weird. That accent. It's just...smarmy. I thought Tamra handled him really maturely: "I got Brooks, what's next? Jim Bellino?" Tamra, trashy as she may be, is hilarious. Eddie can dance! Terri is a terrible dancer...and that was awesome to see. He and Heather are a great match. Finally, good for Alexis for surviving an episode.

Pictures from Tamra's wedding. The current OC cast was there and it's interesting to note who were bridesmaids and who were not! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2342465/Tamra-Barney-weds-boyfriend-Eddie-Judge-lavish-California-ceremony.html

Oh JackPeyton I disagree, season 1 of RHOC was the best, it has gone progressively downhill as producers have driven storyline.

+1 Vicki IS the OC. They need to fire Gretchen and Alexis and Lydia. Wouldn't think twice about any of them. Rehire Laurie as the resident bitch of the show, rehire Jeana (!!!), find a new 'ho.

If ATL delivered I wouldn't have dropped it last season, ditto NJ.

I do too. It's the original. I'd be all for Gretchen going to ATL, that way I wouldn't have to watch her foolish, uneducated ass.

RHOOC Gretchen's fillins were hurt? That girl needs to wash the makeup off and go to school for elocution lessons, her speech is just mangled.

The RH franchise turning nasty is something we've been seeing for years and it's only getting worse, it will be the death of the shows, you can be guaranteed of that. We've seen it kill RHOV, it will happen to all these shows if there isn't a turnaround.

Well, they covered the entire Greater Vancouver region through the two seasons, so it's either Van or they'll move the show to Toronto, which wouldn't surprise me. There's plenty of famewhore social climbers in Toronto. The thing with Vancouver is that, in terms of social life, it's a small town, everyone knows everyone and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the producers can't find anyone in the city to appear.

RealityTea is simply taking the Shaw statement in an opposite direction to JackPeyton's stance. It definitely needs fixing and it definitely isn't filming this summer when it has the last two seasons, but it was a big hit for Slice and most importantly, it fulfilled Canadian content requirements for the channel while also being a hit. In Canada, there are a certain number of prime time hours that have to be dedicated to Canadian programming in order for a station or network to maintain its license. I wouldn't count RHOV out completely, but it won't be back for the foreseeable future.

It's awesome. You can tell those two would get along great.

I keep waiting for La Federation Francaise de la Couture to bust her ass!

OC was solid this week, I can see both sides in Gretchen vs Vicki, but I just find (and have always found) Gretchen to be so dumb and so pageant that I can't be compelled to respect her. She thinks she's in the "fashion industry" because she knocks off Hermes designs and slaps a huge G on a vinyl bag?
