I finally got a chance to watch the 2nd half of the Housewives episode, the thing that comes to mind most of all is how sleazy Gretchen is, and what a disgusting pig Slade is, seriously I’m not naive or a prude but those pictures taken of Gretchen were awful. I guess I’m old fashioned or something by today’s young people’s standards but I thought it was sickening, and I think that because of what we’ve seen “celebrities” doing in so-called sex*tapes etc. so much and so often, some people have become to see such things as the norm, and it’s not...it should not be.
I think of my own young daughter and I can tell you in all certainty that I would be absolutely brokenhearted, if she were to ever think so little of herself to engage in and POSE for pictures like that, drunk and exposed nude on the internet for ever.

I would not be able to show my face anywhere again if I were Gretchen, much less continue to appear on TV. I thought she’d done enough damage last season being a drunken idiot lifting her skirt up at a party, kissing and being man-handled by Ryan in the bathroom while her fiance was basically living out the last week of his life. That was just one episode.
She said she was grieving for Jeff and got caught up with the wrong people?? how about being there for his kids? how about showing respect for her family his and mostly herself.
She’s trash, and now she’s hooked up with Slade and the circle of sleaze is complete.

Jeana, she is so bitter! and it’s sad really because she was always the nicer one, the one who tried to keep the peace but she did stir the pot, I think she’s pissed and embarrassed that she had to ask Vicki for a loan, and was turned down. She’s going to try to sell her home and downsize from 9,000 sq. ft. to $5,000...let me get the violin k?
She has no idea how to live without spending crazy amounts of money, it seems that she did not have good financial advice or didn’t follow it, all she did was spend and now she’s pretty screwed.
At Lynn’s dinner she was bitchy and feeding the fire between Tamra and Gretchen.
I am totally over Jeana.

Lynn, her cuffs are just O.K if that is your style but they are trendy and won’t be around long, I think it’s great she has the line and is doing something that makes her happy, she just needs to expand her creative horizons if she wants to stay in the business,
She has an amazing body and you gotta give her some props, I really want to see what the face-lift does for her.
I thought it was not appropriate for her 17 year old daughter to stand outside her store in a tiny bikini waving at people passing by, again I’m showing my age I guess but I would not use my daughter as bait to get business, just like I would not let her drink and smoke and quit high school.
I guess I will never have a reality show huh?

Tamra, it saddens me that she and Simon are going through a rough time, financial problems can break up the happiest of marriages, I really hope they are able to get help and work it out, They seem to be very much in love, I think Simon is not comfortable being on the show or Tamra being so exposed, he’s starting to ask her to tone down the low-cut dresses and things like that, in her blog she said that he was holding out and did not want to do this season, he’s trying to protect his family I think, they are both under a lot of pressure.

Vicki, she kicks ass no matter what. Vickie lives her life to build security for herself and her family, I think the economy has little or no effect on her business, she seemed her regular secure self.
She seems happier with Donn and that’s good, I hope they make it, he’s just s good ole guy.

I think Tamra looks the best, sorry Peggy! she has an amazing body and works had to keep it that way. I could not believe it when she said she’s 47...I have no excuse, she has 5 years on me.

Bring on episode 2 and the new housewife, one thing I hope I don’t see much of is the famous Skytops they wear, I’ really tired of those.

What did y’all think? what did I forget to mention?
