Reality on Bravo

The most major part of Episode 303 of the Real Housewives of Orange County was the girls’ trip to South Beach. Mackenzie (George’s daughter), Ashley (Lauri’s daughter), Megan and Lindsey (Tammy’s daughters), and a few of their friends headed to Miami for a week, and trouble ensued. First, Megan and Lindsey began to fight about money. The girls recently lost their father, Lou Knickerbocker, and without daddy around to pay for the bills, they’re finding that money is a bit tight. One girl whispered to another at the breakfast table “They have no money. That’s so sad.” When Lindsey and Megan argued about paying the bill. This trip to Miami was paid for with Lindsey’s OC Angels money, but Megan was recently fired, so she’s freeloading off of her sister, which you can tell she totally hates to do.

Now here’s the question I have - the rest of the girls at the table have parents who pay for everything. I’m guessing that their budgets for this one-week trip were at like, 5 grand. And that’s not including the hotel room and flights. So, why didn’t some one just offer to pick up the total tab for all of the girls at breakfast? Why not share it if you got it a little?

The girls also went to get tattoos. That’s nothing strange for Megan, but Mackenzie and Ashley also got tatties. Mackenzie got a teeny tiny butterfly on her foot and Ashley got the word “Believe” on her foot. As Lauri said, “Believe in what?” That’s stupid. I’m all for tattoos, but not the generic kind that look like rub-ons that you can buy at the store. Give me a break. They got tattooed by the guys at Miami Ink though, which is super cool. When they got home, George was PISSED. Except, he didn’t really seem all that mad. I guess he’s a “keep it inside” type of guy.

The rest of the episode was mostly of Don and Vicki hosting Jeana, Tammy, and company at their guest house on the river. Can you can DRUNK?!?! Don was SO DRUNK. It was hilarious, though. I couldn’t stop laughing at him and especially Tammy’s reaction to him. They were drinking something called “man juice” which sounds disgusting, but must have been delish. The one thing I have to say, though, is WHY was Colton there? I mean, he’s 15 years old and has recently gotten into a lot of trouble. He does not need to see his mom wasted. Who’s the parent here?

Oh, and let’s not forget this episode’s confirmation of Tamra’s son Ryan as the douchiest guy in Orange County. He sleeps until noon, goes to the gym if he’s not too hungover, “kicks back” all day (his own words, not mine), and then drinks with his friends all night. He’s upset that the training program he went to isn’t calling him with job lead (um…what?). And wost of all, Tamra just gives him money to support his slacking. I think she’s a nice lady, but come on - cut him loose and make him get a job.
