'When Times Get Tough': Real Housewives of Orange County episode one recap (video)

The Real Housewives of Orange County love to shop and even this economy won't stop them (though, it may slow them down just a tad).

Everyone seems to be just where you would think they would be (struggling with the rest of the US to keep their homes and jobs, and not let their relationships fall apart in the middle of it all).

The first episode revealed that:

* The Orange County real estate market has dried up for Jeana Keough, and her son is trying desperately to restructure her spending habits.

* Donn is busy stoking Vicki's love fire this season, as they make their marriage a priority, and she's not afraid to try new things to spice things up, as she jumps out of an airplane.

* Gretchen is regrouping after Jeff lost his battle with cancer, and is now dating Slade (yes, THAT Slade), which viewers will see more of in episode two.

* Tamra and Simon have had their own reality check, as they deal with financial and relationship stresses, and are working towards keeping things "classy."

* Lynne is feeling optimistic as her business is thriving. She threw a get together for the BFF's at the St. Regis to check out her "cuffs" (and get reacquainted).  Episode two of The Real Housewives of Orange County, will show Lynne in "Death Becomes Her" mode, as she takes her daughter, who is also considering going under the shiny OC knives, to a plastic surgery consultation (staving off old age don't you know)!

If you missed it last Thursday night, don't fret. You can watch the full episode below!
