Reality on Bravo

Last night’s episode of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Orange County did not disappoint–it featured shopping, extravagance, and over the top drama. Here’s the recap:

Jeana seems to be losing her sense of control. The dogs are running the house, so she brought in a trainer to deal with them and to teach the family how to handle them. Her husband, Tom, was a dick to her and to the trainer. I think both Tom and Jeana admit that they should divorce, but both have too much pride. Speaking of control, though, she should worry about her kids more than her dog. She gave them her credit card to go back to school shopping (big mistake) and Kara and her brother rang up a $700 bill between the two fo them, just in one store. My god.

It’s really happening, I guess–Jo is moving to LA. She spent this whole episode whining for things like a baby and telling Slade that he treats her like a child. That’s because you ARE a child, honey. Of course, Slade is a little pessimistic and parental at times, but he really loves Jo and she’s basically stringing him along. As my boyfriend said last night, “I’m looking forward to watching her fail miserably.”

Sorry if you’re a fan of Tammy, because I just don’t like her! This episode, we didn’t see that much of her, but she and Duff did take Ry to a toy store to pick out a calender and some stickers. He’s having trouble remembering who is coming to pick him up after school, so they’re going to keep track in his lunch box. They stopped at the store before school, and Tammy started buying the kid all sorts of treats, while Duff as like, “Tammy, we’re going to be late for school…Come on Tammy, he’s got to earn his special treats.” I agree 100%. We also saw Tammy on a blind date. He was such a weanie. However, if I hear Tammy say how hard it is to be a single mom ONE MORE TIME I might flip out. She’s single, yes. She’s a mom, yes. But when you tell people you’re a single mom it has all sorts os connotations that the father isn’t around and that is NOT the case. Duff is Daddy of the year.

Actually, Daddy of the year might be an award that also goes out to Laurie’s fiance, George. He wasn’t really in this episode, but he’s giving Lauri some good advice. Lauri and Sofie moved into George’s house, and her 21-year-old daughter Ashley is living in Lauri’s old townhouse. Mama Waring said she’d keep paying the mortgage and utilities as long as Ashley met two conditions: She keeps the place clean and she is either in school full time or working full time. Ok, the girl is set to be a full time student come October. She def doesn’t keep the place clean. The girl doesn’t work–what does she do with her days? There’s cat poop everywhere, trash piled up, and moldy milk in the sink. Lauri’s thinking about kicking her her and selling the place, which, according to new stories that have her kids turning against her, I think she eventually does. Good.

That brings us to Vicki. I see a lot of myself in Vicki, because she loves to work, gets stressed out easily, and has a hard time relaxing when she could be working. She’s so funny and frazzled though. This episode, Vicki goes golfing with her husband, Don, and is horrible (note: me and the boy laughed bc he’s an avid golfer and I am not…Vicki is probably better than me, and she was BAD). It’s nice that she makes an effort to spend lots of time with Don, even though they both work really hard. Later in the episode, Vicki hires an astrologer to talk to her and the girls. She’s pretty drunk by the time it’s her turn to get a read, and the astrologer tells her that because three planets were in perfect alignment when she was born, she will have infinite energy and always have a drive to work.

That’s all from our favorite ladies of the OC now. Next episode looks like a dozy, complete with cat fights and a PISSED Jeana. Stay tuned, and don’t forget to vote in the RHOC poll and sign up for the Reality on Bravo newsletter to learn more about the RHOC girls!
