Tamra: Stop being a victim, Gretchen: STFU, Real Housewives of Orange County Sneak Peek

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season Five - Photo Credit:  Bravo NBC Universal 

 

The Real Housewives of Orange County return in Season Five tomorrow night (10 ET/PT) bringing their blonde bad-ass-ness to Bravo television viewers everywhere.

The golden gals of the OC are back; although, this time with less money and more stress than before (life behind the gates is not like it used to be).  Along with last season's housewives (Tamra Barney, Lynne Curtin, Vicki Gunvalson, Jeana Keough, and Gretchen Rossi), there is a new face:  32-year-old, Alexis Bellino (married to Jim, mom of three kids).

And, even though this year the Orange County housewives will be shown in a more serious light (coping with financial and relationship challenges), they promise to continue to shock and entertain us with their shopping sprees, drinking, dancing, and cat-fighting ways."  It should be a great season and we hear that Lynne has actually found the freakin' fountain of youth--she should have tried Tru Renewal!

Catching up with the gals:   In the video below, the OC Housewives get together for the first time in quite a while at The St. Regis - Monarch Beach Resort and Spa where Tamra tells Gretchen that she is a complete victim and that they don't have to like each other and Gretchen tells her to "STFU."   (Are you kidding me?  What ever happened to, "nice to see you?"  Any bets on who will throw the first dirty martini?)

    OK housewife? Why is Gretchen on the show? She was never a housewife - Why dont they change the show to just wanna be's of OC, Atlanta, NY and JERSEY

    I happen to like Gretchen a lot. She was victimized by Vicki and Tamra, still is. Do I want to see Gretchen stand up for herself "finally"? You bet. Do I agree with her dating Slade? Absolutely not. She is far too classy, witty, and fun loving to be involved with a man who abandoned his ailing son and refuses to pay child support.

    Well, Vicki is back in all her "It's all about me" glory! Anyone have a barf bag?

    i love gretchen and i do want to see her stand up to the aging bullies vickie and tamra, ugh! Tamra has no class at all, she is unethical! She doesnt have to run around saying all this crap about gretchen, that woman shouldnt be saying anything bad about gretchen especially after she intentionally went out of her way to make gretchen drunk at her so called dinner party with her creepy son always making sure gretchen's glass was full of tequila. It was tamRa that insisted gretchen stay the night and who knows maybe she took the pictures of gretchen and placed them on the internet herself that night. Wow alexis, the new housewife, is so beautiful, i'll bet tamra is seething with jealousy now about how her husband was staring at alexis the whole dinner. Now there are two "hottest" housewives for tamra to be completely jealous over, Tamra still thinks she is better then everyone, she needs a reality check, and you dont have a right to talk to people like that! Tamra is an UGLY perso

    yeah vickie is the only one who doesnt seem to have an issue with money because she is collecting all this insurance money from people and embezzling it, its so obvious, because how often does a big disaster happen where she has to pay back any of this money that people pay her every month? Vickie is a creep to snub her nose up at jeanna, jeanna should have asked lauri for help, i hope vickie is audited and prosecuted soon and forced to sell her homes as well. I am wondering why jeanna would leave when these shows pay allot for each episode? i guess maybe because she is disgusted by tamra and vickie, but that is allot of money to pass up, especially in difficult financial times. I hope jeanna does come back, tho, stronger than ever. Hope gretchen presses charges against that awful tamra and the newest housewife is amazing looking so now what is tamra going to do? Lynne makes me sick now, her daughter was crying out to her about how they are changing and her response was so dumb.

    tamra has the same face as her father, she thinks she is so hot, but it is herself who gave herself that title. Tamra and vicki are old stuck up bullies, they both deserve hard times to come their way, its karma and its bound to happen. Love gretchen, jeanna and who is left? Btw to lynne, she is absolutely disgusting to be pressuring her daughters into plastic surgery already and that just changing your nose or getting a face lift oh yeah "man" that will sure make you happy?! lynne has no morals and obviously no faith, sad to say she is ruining those beautiful young daughters of hers, hope the dad gets custody in case of a divorce because lynn is so lost in space.

    lynne keeps saying how young she looks, but i dont think she looks young, she just seems haggard to me, sorry. She obviously throws up allot with the deep deep deep lines around the sides of her mouth that now she is trying to fix, she has "crazed" eyes, something is wrong with her. Whatever happened to beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Whats with all these old women running around trying to wear their daughters clothes, let your daughters shine now and quit bragging about yourself, ugh! You had your turn when you were young, grow up lynne and be a mom to your daughters!! I agree, i hope their dad gets custody, in case of a divorce. Also agree that tamra and vickie are old stuck up hags, they suck! Sorry to see jeanna go, i too like gretchen and not sure if i will even watch this show anymore. This used to be my favorite of the housewife series, not anymore. Maybe the newest housewife will be fun just to see how jealous tamra and vickie will be of her.

    what happened to slades house, job and kids? (hummer?) I thought he was a title officer or something? and what happened to the bitch tamra's husbands job at the mercedes dealership? Not sure about slade and gretchen pairing up either, it seems sort of suspect since slade was with jo & lauri, just seems he wants to be on this show anyway he can, and i thought gretchen was jo's friend not slades? that tanning party scene was creepy with slade and lynne, yuk!

    Btw, love you gretchen, she told off tamra good and made her leave, ha! Gretchen so outshines that horrible little tamra woman that tamra always has to come out attacking her because she is seething inside with jealousy! I hope gretchen really does fall in love with a wealthy man again and make tamra even way more jealous, ha!

    tamras husband couldnt keep his eyes off the gorgeous new housewife of his friend! How is tamra going to try to compete with alexis? With gretchen she tries to defame her character because she is so jealous that gretchen was the only HOT housewife, but now how is she going to put down the newest hot housewife, that should be interesting to watch this season, other than that, this show has really gone down the plastic fake hill it was on.
