The Real Housewives of Orange County are Safe
by Allison
With the southern part of California being ravaged with wildfires, I just wanted to take a moment to note that Bravo has issued a statement regarding the Real Housewives of Orange County. The ladies and their families are all safe, in areas unaffected by the fires, other than the fact that their mansions are covered with ash, which also is probably making it difficult to breathe outside.
That said, I’m sure many of our favorite Bravo moms do have friends and family being evacuated or that have lost homes already. Please keep them in your thoughts, along with all Reality on Bravo readers battling the blazes.

Well, “Jesus”, I give a fuck. Thousands of people are in need and my prayers and thoughts go out to them all.

The homes the Housewives live in hardly constitutes a Mansion. Beautiful homes…yes. Mansions; you gotta be kidding? Their homes are more your typical run of the mill compared to say, Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey or, George Clooney’s estate across the pond. Please, don’t insult the viewers intelligence.

Well, dear reader, that depends on what you count as a mansion. Like you said, everything is relative. Compared to Oprah’s huge estate, maybe their houses aren’t that big. Compared to the average home, they are.
Just for fun, I looked up “mansion” in the dictionary, though, and the meaning is “a very large, impressive, or stately residence.” And I believe that the homes we’ve seen on this show are all three. We’re talking multi-million dollar homes here, so if you think that’s run of the mill, that’s great, but I live in a rented two-bedroom ranch that doesn’t even have a dishwasher. To me, those home are large, impressive, and stately. So how about you don’t insult MY intelligence.

Allison, from your perspective, I would imagine, a rented 2 bedroom ranch and the size and appearance of the largest Housewives home, which is reported to be averaged at around 5000 sq ft, probably would constitute as that of a “Mansion”. But if you are going to refer to the Dictionary’s description of what a Mansion truly encompasses, then those guidelines, IMO, supersede those of an “average” home by comparison.
If I may reference your findings, the dictionary’s description of a Mansion is, A VERY LARGE, IMPRESSIVE, OR STATELY RESIDENCE. IMO, none of the Housewives homes fall under these guidelines. Although I agree they are beautiful, and not your “average” home, the homes of the Housewives are not VERY LARGE or all that IMPRESSIVE according to the dictionary’s description. Furthermore, the Housewives homes certainly don’t fall under the category of STATELY.
Just because a homes value is in the multi-million dollar range, if it doesn’t meet the description outlined in the Dictionary, my personal opinion is, the referenced homes are indeed, beautiful, but still, nothing more than an expensive, roomy, and flashy Orange County home.

LMAO do you have nothing better to do with your time than argue with use of the word “mansion”. My mansion is your shack. It’s all relative. Get over it.

Allison, you are so right. I am one who actually likes these housewives, unlike others. Only three of the housewives live in Coto. Vicki and Jeana’s homes are quite large and Tammy’s is more like a bungalow behind the gates. Tammy’s would be first in the line of fire (bad pun). Her neighborhood has the qualities that would make most firefighters cringe. Wood siding, shingle roofs and LOTS of trees and undergrowth. Will keep you updated if the fire heads their way.

Sorry, The Real Pizza Girl, but aren’t you the same Pizza Girl who brought so much negative attention to one of the Housewives sons whom you claim to like by posting your exhaustive search; excuse me, stalkish-like search, of his police records? So here we have yet another very young adult, albeit, guilty, who you are raking over the coals for your self seeking two minutes of infamy. So which is it Pizza? Kissing butt is how I see it.

So here’s the thing. Whenever someone leaves a comment, it sends me your information, including not only your email address, but your IP address. And surprise, surprise, every the above “pizza girl” comments arguing with one another are all the same person. Hey, if you want to argue with myself on my site, go ahead. But I reserve the right to make fun of you for not having a life.

Melissa: Brittany Barnes, Melinduh P.Girl, we all have a sense of humor as well as tough skin. Just wanted to prove a point and certain it hit home. Now, the question is, will The Real Pizza Girl, get a life!
