~ The Real Housewives of Orange County ~ Season 12~ 2017 ~ JULY 10th

I was just coming over to post this! Odd that he filed now considering that whole 'we're going to get divorced' episode is on tonight.

I suppose it will be awhile before we hear what the other housewives have to say about this.

 

[bjgrazi]

I feel bad for her kids, but not for her.

 

[minniebeth]

Interesting. Just read on one of the gossip web sites that Tamara's husband filed for divorce on grounds of infedility. After all the trash talk about Gretchen cheating!!!

Wowie. Maybe the 'disloyalty' he's talking about is Tamra's participation in the Girls' Trip, and not cutting his ties with Vicki. Just kidding, but maybe not just a little. She did say she wouldn't make a choice between them.

Why am I not surprised about this news? The more controlling he becomes, the more I see her rebelling.

I can't wait to hear what happens.

Thanks for the link!

 

[meloneyb21]

Not surprised. She was so caught up in outting (?) Gretchen that her own marriage slipped through her fingers. The chickens have come home to roost.

 

[Briarmom]

I have so much to say. And we're only 19 minutes in.

Simon and his 'good marriage'

 

[Briarmom]

OK, a season ago, if you had told me I'd be crying happy tears about Donn and Vicki's marriage...I'd have told you to put down the crack pipe.

 

[bfeller]

Loved the Vicki storyline tonight

Lynne is clueless about parenting

Gretchen overstepped her friendship, but it was with good intentions.

Alexis and husband get on my nerves. And how many SAHMs have nannies. Get real

Tamra is in deep doo doo. Simon is a jerk.

 

[LunchladyDoris]

I am not going to bash Alexis for having a nanny and a cook, that is fine but TWO nannies...really?

I am getting so sick of her going on about her husband, I get a feeling he puts her down a lot.

 

[NeverlandClub23]

I really have nothing to say about this episode .

Except I want to go to Turks & Caicos!!!

(Oh, and I thought it was kind of tacky during the vow renewal that Vicky was telling Don what cut and carats the diamonds in his new ring were , but I am happy for them and want every marriage to be happy and work out).

 

[jrmasm]

I found the whole Icky/Don storyline to be incredibly uncomfortable. It seeemed forced.

 

[powellrj]

I stopped watching when Jenna left, but I guess I need to start watching again! Please tell me Tamara didn't take up with icky Slade too................

I totally agree, the guy pours his heart out to her and basically she focuses on the ring and telling him the carats, etc. But I'm glad they look like they're working things out.

Same here! I thought last night was one of the better episodes.

What is it with Tamara's Mom and DH talking about the way Gretchen has treated her?! I didn't see/hear about everything that happened but from what I've seen from this season it appears to me that Tamara is the one that started all this mess with Gretchen and Gretchen is just trying to defend herself.

Me too!
'I Vicki, take you Donn to by my dh. With this 3 carat platinum band...'

I am not going to bash Alexis for having a nanny and a cook, that is fine but TWO nannies...really?

I agree with you on both accounts. I can hardly watch when her husband is on. He makes my skin crawl.

I stopped watching when Jenna left, but I guess I need to start watching again! Please tell me Tamara didn't take up with icky Slade too................

Tamra and Slade would be a great twist....

The foreshadowing last night was just unreal in light of Tamraaaa and Simon splitting up.

 

[Mouse House Mama]

I fell asleep before it came on last night but reading this thread the first thing that popped into my mind was Icky and Don doing a vow renewal= Jon and Kate vow renewal. Hmmmmm........

Somehow I think Icky & Don mean it. Well at least Icky didn't want to be a failure again and is kissing up to Don. Don on the other hand I think for whatever reasons loves her. I actually had tears for them. It was sweet, well except for her pointing out the ring to him, but that's the true her.

I agree with this. Jon and Kate were doing it for the free trip to Hawaii with their kids. 10 flights from PA to HI are $$$$.

 

[NYPDwife]

That's what Tamra gets for trying to hold on to the "hottest" housewife title. Have you seen her arms? FGS lady, instead of starving yourself, how about you do some push-ups?

 

[js]

I found the whole Icky/Don storyline to be incredibly uncomfortable. It seeemed forced.

It reminded me of the Jon and Kate episode when they went to Hawaii to renew their vows
Also, when Vickie was telling Don all about the cut and how many diamonds, I thought she did it with the sole intention of making sure all the viewers know how expensive the ring was so we can get an idea she spent a lot.
Whatever.

 

[agnes!]

A couple of thoughts...

I think Donn is a gem, good-looking, decent....maybe the Ickness got a good look at how she treated him last season and didn't like the view very much.

I think that what that stupid girl (Lynne's depressed daughter, I get those two girls mixed-up. Alexis? Raquel?) did to Gretchen was awful...she threw her under the bus. Yeah, maybe Gretchen didn't finesse the situation very well, but that girl...ugh. I did have some sympathy for her, I mean, she started crying when Gretchen asked her some question, and seemed quite upset that "nobody ever talks to her", etc., etc. But when her mom asked her about the shopping expedition?...she turned on Gretchen like a cornered cat. At no time did Gretchen imply anything bad about Lynne & her husband's parenting...sheesh, lady, just because you might have a troubled teen doesn't mean you're a bad parent or a bad mom.
And Lynne? Hoo-boy, look in the dictionary and under the definition for CLUELESS you'll find her picture! Oh, btw, laid-back "I'm not a parent, I'm a friend" Lynne & her hubby have a 1.2 MILLION-DOLLAR judgement against them *and* there was a bench warrant issued in December for their arrest. I do wonder how Lynne will feel (well, she doesn't think, she just 'feels', right?) when she sees the footage of Gretchen & her daughter....do you think that she'll apologize to Gretchen?

agnes!
PS - Lynne is 52 and that plastic surgeon did not do a good job....she's starting to look like the Cat-Woman socialite of NYC.
