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

Didn't they only show him saying it once? It makes me wonder if they didn't use the same quote over and over to get the <ick> effect they wanted. Do trite people even go overboard with these things? I'd ask my DH with whom he was sleeping if he had to keep repeating over and over again about how many carats something was that he bought me.

He repeated it over and over. It wasn't just a sound byte. Oh it was horrible. He's so gross! And that whole 'I'd never let you go to Greece by yourself...' if my dh ever said he wouldn't 'let' me do something there'd be hell to pay.
I really can't stand him or her.

I couldn't wait to hear what Ryan's reason for prison was. I thought it would be juicier than him not wanting to do community service for driving with a suspended license. Simon needs to take a step back to realize that you reap what you sow. I don't know who the bigger baby is in his relationship with Ryan.

Yeah, he's going for 5 days, which I'm sure will get down to less due to overcrowding. He's too lazy to do community service??!? What a loser. And I agree with you somewhat on the Simon thing, but Ryan is old enough to understand how car insurance works and he's certainly old enough to know he made a mistake. However Simon is a big baby as well. Ryan has to apologize to him on FACEBOOK?!

I was glad to see that Gretchen is still in contact with Jeff's kids. If she didn't love him, she wouldn't care about his kids.

I was surprised that Lynne's DDs didn't tell the teen whisperer that they wanted their parents to be responsible enough to keep a roof over their heads. That's a huge step in having a better relationship with your kids, especially when you should be able to afford to do so.

The blind date was just painful to watch.

That whole 'teen whisperer' thing was kind of funny to me, but at the same time I'm glad that Lynne is finally trying to parent. Isn't her older daughter like 20 yet? And she doesn't do anything?

And yeah, the blind date WEEKEND was horrible to watch. Vicki is so controlling. 'Hey I met this guy and he's coming here for 3 days to stay!!'

 

[Briarmom]

OMG. This is such a train wreck.

Who takes their (not yet) 2 year old twins to get mani/pedis? What an idiot. And I'm not going to get started on the 'We're so Godly' crap.

I am so glad I don't have a controlling husband. I can't even imagine.

Who takes their (not yet) 2 year old twins to get mani/pedis? What an idiot.

Lynne's facelift turned out well, as seen at midnight on Watch What Happens. She still looks like Steven Tyler, though.

It seems like her oldest daughter is the only one who gets their financial troubles.

 

[jrmasm]

It seems like her oldest daughter is the only one who gets their financial troubles.

I'm pretty sure that's the younger one. The older one got the nose job.

 

[mhsjax]

I'm pretty sure that's the younger one. The older one got the nose job.

YOu are correct, it is the youngest one. The oldest one is a ditz. Sorry but its true. lol

 

[minniebeth]

Ok, I'm usually not that vocal about the show on this thread and this is kind of harsh, but the words that came to mind about last night's show were "freak show". First of all, I cannot believe that Alexis was not only trying to get her almost two yo twins manis/pedis, but by herself AND trying to get herself done at the same time as well??? What is she thinking? And at Happy Nails? Even thought they are too young, aren't there places that are fun for kids that do this at a more cute, fun and appropriate level? We have several places around us that are just darling and fun, and we live in Ohio, not SoCal. She thinks she's such a good mom, but can't put her frame of mind at an appropriate age level reference. I'm thinking because she is so self-centered.
Then for her to sit and talk about how "Godly" she and her husband are just rubbed me the wrong way while the camera panned in on her shapely profile. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that 'shapely' women aren't Godly, but most who are don't talk about it that way in that context.

I do agree that Lynne's face looks great after healing but the way the cameras kept dwelling on it post-surgery, ick. It was like, ok, enough already, I get it.

I could go on about Vicki, Tamra and Gretchen too, but I won't...I am just not liking this season and where the women are at.
You can bet I'll keep watching though!

 

[meloneyb21]

I don't like Tamra but Simon is sickening. Jim is sickening. Alexis is just a flat out dummy. I wouldn't even try taking ONE toddler to get mani/pedis. Seriously? Lynn is just lost to the world, period.

 

[Briarmom]

Yeah, Simon is gross. 'I don't want your career to get in the way of you taking care of the kids...' Um, then you need to man up and get another job. If you want it *that* bad, you'd find a way, don't you think? He clearly meant, 'I'm not taking care of those damn kids so I don't want you to work.' Jerk.

Also, while I do agree that Tamraaaaa's son needs some tough love, he's asking her to choose HIM (Simon) over her own son! Yeah....no.

Alexis' husband just continues to gross me out. Why didn't she bring one of her nannies to the mani/pedi place? And her 'crying' about botox? Really? What a baby.

Lynne's facelift/necklift turned out great. Even if they can't afford rent.

Gretchen was right on about Alexis being all 'Godly' and not wanting to be 'tempted' yet she's showing her chest off to all the world.

I'm wondering how Vicki is going to act when all the husbands/Slade show up on her girls weekend. I can tell you right now I'd be pissed off. Girls weekends don't include husbands.

 

[momrek06]

Another disturbing epi for RHoOC.

Alexis is just so fake. Everything about her screams fake to me. Alexis does not live far from me, she took those kiddos to the Happy Nails right near my home. She did it to impress everyone in there with all the cameras. Yup, that was all that was and yes she should have taken the kiddos to a kiddie salon if there is even one OR better still, LEAVE THEM ALONE. They do not need mani/pedi's at 2yo.

Lynne and her DD getting plastic surgery. They are on this "supposed" budget, having been recently evicted from their Laguna Beach "rental" home where they failed to pay the rent and have moved into another rental and are immediately off to the plastic surgeon. What is wrong with THAT picture.

Vicky finally realizing Donn is a good guy.

Tamraa's kid, deciding to serve jail time as versus community service....wow, he is a MESS and Tamraa is right there allowing the behavior. Ryan is on a huge downward slope. He wanted to be a CHiPS a few years ago and now he is in jail.

Gretchen and that motorcycle class....what a flirt.

I will say Gretchen looked very confused by her lunch with Alexis and all that "godly" talk and we are NEVER EVER apart.

 

[Briarmom]

Ya, well Alexis, both you and your DH are cheaters and you cheated on your spouses with each other sooooooo you do NOT trust each other......so off to Florida, Jim will go with Alexis to "keep an eye" on her ......it is NOT about "we are never apart from each other" CRAP.

Wait, what?! Are you serious? They were married when they met?

 

[suzannen]

Wait, what?! Are you serious? They were married when they met?

Yes, momrek06, you must give us the scoop on this! That couple totally creeps me out.

Real Housewives of OC’s Alexis Bellino Nasty Divorce Details Revealed!
Written by Reality Tea on November 22nd, 2009

We recently wrote about the downside of appearing on a reality show such as the Real Housewives of Orange County. The first downside being that your ‘perfect’ marriage that you pride yourself on will come off as being not so perfect in front of millions of viewers, while your husband’s cutesy behavior might come off as being somewhat controlling.

The second downside it seems is skeletons from your closet being unveiled. New housewife on the block, Alexis Bellino, is now experiencing this as her first husband, Jeff Barry, is spilling all sorts of sordid details about the couple’s first marriage and nasty divorce to Star magazine. And oh yeah, there are pictures too.

In the latest issue of Star magazine, it is revealed that Alexis and Jeff got married back in 2002 after 3 years of dating. The Missouri college sweethearts would later go on to divorce in 2003 after just 15 months of marriage. Reasons for their divorce includes infidelity, boozy brawls, computer hacking, physical threats and missing money. “We had been college sweethearts in Missouri,” Jeff, 31, sales engineer, tells Star. “I never dreamt back then that things between us could turn so ugly.”

More details about Alexis’s first marriage below -

1.The couple moved to San Diego shortly after their 2002 wedding. “We were young and didn’t have a lot of money.” says Jeff. “Then Alexis…started hanging out with trust fund babies. Having the right pair of expensive jeans became important to her.”
2.Eventually, Jeff discovered his wife was having an affair with a wealthy father of three she met at the gym.
3.“I gave Alexis endless opportunities to fess up, but she kept denying everything,” says Jeff. “Then she said she needed her space, moved into her own place and asked me to go to therapy with her. But she only went twice, she made no effort at all.”
4.Jeff pretended to be a friend of Alexis’s and started emailing her under false pretenses. His suspicions were confirmed that Alexis was indeed sleeping with the married wealthy man.
5.Jeff then sent a mass email out to couple’s friends and family, in which he referred to Alexis as a “gold-digging homewrecker,” and a “$2 *****.“
6.In the divorce filing, Jeff said of Alexis, “She can be an extremely mean, irrational drunk… She once took off her top in front of my best man to make me mad because she was upset that I smoked a cigarette.”
The couple’s divorce was finalized in June 2004. According to Jeff, he hasn’t had any contact with Alexis in four years.

“I’m not surprised she ended up on a show like Real Housewives,” says Jeff, who is now remarried. “She just seems to have even bigger ****s, a nose job and blonder hair now.”

According to Star magazine, Alexis declined to comment on this article.

 

[Briarmom]

So, is the 'wealthy man' mentioned in the article her Skeezy Dh now? He has 3 other kids?

Wow. All that 'I knew right away he was the man for me because he talked about God all the time' crap is really....crap.

 

[suzannen]

I can't find the article on JIM, but they were both married while cheating with each other. I will keep looking for it. So they BOTH know once a cheater ALWAYS a cheater.....so they need to keep their EYES on each other AT ALL TIMES. Hence Alexis is saying it is "all Godly" and both saying "we are NEVER apart from each other." WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right on - this explains so much about why they don't won't to be apart - they don't trust each other at all.

 

[jrmasm]

Why didn't she bring one of her nannies to the mani/pedi place?

When she was leaving she said let's find Olga. Is that one of the nannies? I think she forgot her in the car.

 

[meloneyb21]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang. And the plot thickens.

 

[C.Ann]

I totally forgot about this show since returning from the lake.. I'll have to see if they have a Saturday marathon or something so I can catch up.. Or maybe I can watch it on my lap top?

Either way, I didn't read anything posted here so as not to spoil the "Oh my goodness, I can't believe Tamra/Vicki-Icki said that" scenarios..

 

[NeverlandClub23]

Isn't it sad that Vicki and Donn's marriage is looking better and better?

I'm not even married to Alexis' husband and I wouldn't even trust him in a boat twenty boats away from a naked Gretchen .

I would be extremely pissed if I planned a girl's weekend and husband's showed up. They're going to Ft. Lauderdale for goodness sake. My bf and I travel a good bit of the time without each other and I don't give it a second thought. Sometimes you need the room to breathe and come back to the relationship refreshed.

 

[minniebeth]

Wowie wow wow. Thanks for posting the article, Momrek06! I knew I wasn't buying Alexis' "Godliness"!

And I like the ladies' only trips. They're interesting to watch and I think it's good for just the girls to get away. Now it makes perfect sense why Alexis' DH is so against her being away from him.
