RHOC Recap: Part Two Reunion; Season Comes To An End!
And so another season has come to an end! Monday aired part two reunion of The Real Housewives of Orange County and to say it was dramatic would probably be an understatement! So let’s begin
Gretchen Vs Alexis: Fox 5 segment. It’s clear that both ladies were lied to from Fox 5 so instead of going at each others throats they should probably realize that they were both being played by producers. It’s just common sense! It’s sad there friendship is over but everything happens for a reason..right?!
Alexis Bellino: I’ll be honest, Alexis was never my favorite person but you can’t help but feel bad for her. She’s trying her best and the ladies are putting her down in anyway that they can
Brooks Ayers: Oh that Brooks. I do believe Brooks is an opportunist but I think Vicki is happy so allow Vicki to be happy and let her get hurt on her own. Vicki deserves all the BS coming to her just because she did it to Gretchen and got involved in other peoples lives. Brooks defense was that he was protecting his “lady” from an eye roll. This has got to be a joke! It has to be! An eye roll? I’m sure Vicki can handle herself, Brooks.
Briana: Who doesn’t love Briana? She’s just so…normal! I must admit, it was shocking to see her reveal all those things about Vicki because if that was my mama I’d shut up and say nothing. It was also shocking to hear Donn was having an affair for 20 years. It makes no sense why Vicki would stay with him knowing that.
Heather Dubrow: I just don’t want to see her back. I get it some people like her so called “class” but I find her to be absolutely annoying!
Tamra Barney: I don’t think Tamra should have revealed the whole drama regarding Cabo. I think it was inappropriate but Vicki had it coming..
Overall how did everyone enjoy the season? Who do you want to see return? What was the most shocking part about the reunion? Let’s Discuss!

Tamra is a liar and she is definately a gold digger. She does not know how to support herself. I totally believe Vikki in regards to Tamra being with Eddie as long as he has money. Vikki is not perfect; hoewever Tamra owns NOTHING. Tamra is the biggest snake and quite frankly I find her repulsive.
Whoa! I still haven’t seen last night’s episode, but it seems interesting and crazy! Lol. I hope it comes on tomorrow night when I’m free. Idk who I like and don’t like at this point, but I do want Alexis to go! I started liking her more this season, but I still don’t like how fake and phony she is. I will always like TAMRA! She is the reason why I watch this show! Heather may be a bit stuffy at times, but I’ve always liked watching her. At least she has more class than the rest of them.
It would be nice if Bravo added 1 or 2 very wealthy housewives (and I mean wealthy) who have everything, and isn’t phony in the least bit.
Unfortunately if there are some OC housewives who have everything and aren’t fake pretentious jerks we will never see them on a reality show…le sigh
I agree with Meg. Tarantula Tamra is a disgrace & I have never liked her from day one. She brings zero to the show & is a backstabbing, trouble making Witch. I am surprised at Gretchen’s turning on Alexis & getting huggy, kissy with Tamra. YUK I am through with Gretchen too. Another complete fake.
I also cant stand Heather. She is so self absorbed there is no hope for her. Actress yeah right. An unknown. Not impressed at all. Where in the heck did Bravo drag her from??
So we are left with Vicki who has always been mean to someone & now she faces her own Karma.
Alexis has turned out to be kind of sad with all of them viciously picking on her, and especially
Gretchen. Shame on Gretchen & perhaps Tamra is just what she deserves!!
I agree with you about Heather. I’m completely annoyed with her behavior and her hubby.
Gretchen has turned into a jerk since becoming friends with bitchy Tamra.
Vicki deserved every single bit of mud that was slung her way on that stage. HYPOCRITE.
I’ve never been a fan of Alexis but you really can’t help but feel bad for her. I think her intentions are good and that she means well. I don’t think she defended herself that well.
Tamra I can’t stand. Never liked her since she came on the show.
RHOC is the franchise I love to hate! LOL
Ali I share your sentiments regarding each of the ladies.
Definitely wouldn’t mind seeing Heather and hubby gone from the OC.
Glad I’m not the only one!
It seems most of us have the same conclusion about the OC Housewives.
I miss Jeanie. She was real and true blue.
I really liked her the best of all the housewives. She was a great lady.
I am glad it’s over!!
I can’t wait till they bring new ladies on..someone who will stand up to Tamra and Heather..
Alexis was no match to them!
HOW DO YOU KNOW TAMRA AND HEATHER WILL BE BACK? I DON’T THINK THEY WILL!HOPE NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus Jugs can suck it, thank god she won’t be back next season! Vicki is a weirdo, and SUPER fake this season. I have always liked the crazy lady, but this season she went the way of Jesus Jugs, and that is crazy to me. Alexis and Jim should be TV evangelists and spout their views on a channel where people want to hear that crap. Heather is a snobby bitch but I like her, she seems willing to admit when she is being a snob, and I seriously love Terry, I want her back just to see him some more! lol Gretchen and Slade are what they are, what they have always been. Why is everyone surprised? Same with Tamara, just because Simon kept her on a short leash we never saw full Tamara, I like this real Tamara, but want to see more of Ryan and how he likes Eddie, been wondering all season!
Totally agree! Jesus Jugs & Jimbo are so fake. I can not stand them.
Totally agree as well. You nailed it all around!
I agree for the most part!!
Well, I still have a hard time feeling badly for Vicki. She made her bed….now lie in it. Vicki comes across so self-righteous and judgemental. While I think Tamra hit below the belt, Vicki seems to forget the numerous times she hit below the belt. She plays victim now but the past speaks for itself.
I have always liked Tamra. However, I have felt this season she was a bit mean. I won’t say a bully because I don’t feel she was bullying Alexis, just being mean. She doesn’t necessarily have tact when it comes to speaking her mind. I enjoy her friendship with Gretchen. I do, however, feel that Vicki and Alexis just felt left out. I can’t fault them for that. If my BFF started hanging with someone else I probably would feel that way, too.
I haven’t ever really liked Alexis. But I felt badly for her this season. I don’t think she deserves all the shit she gets. Although she deserves some.
. I felt Alexis made a good point that they ALL exaggerate and try and show off their things. I like Heather, but she did point out she was riding in a friend’s personal helicopter. Same thing, in my opinion. Heather was definitely uppity and snobbish, but clearly has the goods to back it up. M biggest issue with her was how she was so condescending at times. To me, it came across like she felt she was better than the rest. I did like her, though.
I think Brooks sucks. Very simple. He sucks. I thought 20/20 was fair. That type of program does their research.
Ok…..now…..my biggest issue with several of the ladies….
CUT OFF THE EXTENSIONS!!!!!!!
Ok, done.
Yes! Seriously if you want long hair, just grow it!
FYI: not everyone can grow long hair. Although Tamra and Gretch hair probably won’t grow due to excessive bleaching and straightening. However, again, not everyone’s hair grows long. There is a variety of different reasons for this. I wish it was that easy for everyone just to grow long hair.
Love this Srt_! Except ( sorry) , lol I do not feel bad for Alexis at all. She has brought this on herself as she was quite a talking head since joining the show. Even though I like Tamra, I agree with how you worded it:she doesn’t necessarily have tact when speaking her mind. Extensions are so “yesteryear’..
Tamra will never be a true friend to anyone..she’s too self-absorbed..wonder who she will attack next season on the “Tamra Bully Show”..guess what? I wont be tuning in to find out..Alexis & Vicki need to quit the show and get away from Tamra Bully…what kind of mother goes on a show and acts so viciously..I feel sorry for Tamra’s kids…
First how can Vicki want to be with Brooks at all after he outted Brianna’s wedding & pregnancy??? He also will not be in the same room with her & Vicki thinks that’s O.K.? Vicki is a huge hypocrite bitch liar. Maybe her & Brooks deserve each other.
Tamra maybe shouldn’t of said what she said to Vicki about Cabo but I think Vicki deserved everything she got at the reunion. Vicki can dish it out but obviously she can not take it!
Also their is an extra clip from the reunion at Bravo. It’s Slade talking to Alexis. He’s stating the Jim blogs after every show & takes his subtle little digs at the cast. So Gretchen then brought up sweet & innocent lil Jim’s Fraud charges. He is or was being charged with fraud for selling fake memorabilia. I really do not know how people can not see right through Alexis & Jim?! They are so FAKE!
Jim addressees the memorabilia issue on his blog to address these charges and rumors.
Truth is that Gretchen dropped her friendship with Alexis the second she became friends with Tamra. They are fake TV friends – don’t you know. None of the housewives are really friends (and barely family).
I think Slade was miffed because Jim stated in one of the last blogs that he donated his appearance fee from last year’s reunion to Slade’s son’s medical bills.
I really can’t blame Alexis and Jim for feeling betrayed by people they thought were their friends. I wasn’t necessarily a fan of Alexis and was really pro Gretchen in past seasons, but I’ve done a 180 with both of them. Gretchen truly is just a famewhore at this point (we already knew Slade was one). It’s just too bad that Alexis and Jim thought they had a real friendship.
Check out stoopid housewives..lots of skeletons in Jimbo’s closet.
I agree about Slade he’s always wanted attention. I’m actually not sure how I feel about Gretchen? Never have been a huge fan of hers either.
Here you go…

Heather,Tamra and Gretchen really stooped low this season. I am sure glad I don’t have to be around women like them. Wish the best for Alexis.
I second that!
I have to say my whole outlook on Gretchen is very different now. It makes me want to throw up in my mouth when Tamara and Gretchen talk about how great their friendship is now. Yeah, right. I am sure they are on a VERY superficial level. Could you ever trust the other one to have any IMPORTANT info about you, especially since Tamara threw that info out to the WORLD about Vicki and Cabo…that was totally unnecessary. Granted, Vicki was deflecting the heat off of her and should have never brought Tamara into it, but really all she said was that Tamara started liking Eddie while she was “legally married”…she never said that Tamara was screwing Eddie while she was living with Simon or anything, but Tamara’s vicious reaction makes me think she was!! I mean who jumps right OUT of a 13 year marriage into a full blown relationship one month after you move out and is already ready to marry the guy? Questionable. Also, it is clear that Tamara told Gretchen that bit of info about Vicki because Gretchen kept saying (after Tamara outed her) “Yeah, that is why I kept shaking my head, because I knew….” So Tamara is clearly a backstabber. She is a gross excuse for a person.
Vicki-Unfortunately, her time has come to see that she is a hypocrite about hella lot! She needs to own it, learn from it and move on. But I gotta say, when everyone around her hates who she is with, her kids (who she claims are her everything) hates who she is with and then the national media (20/20) has a lot of shit on the dude…honey, cut your losses and MOVE ON!!!
Heather- HER pretentiousness annoys the hell out me, can’t stand her, Hope she isn’t back.
Alexis-In an odd twist of fate seemed to gain a lot of viewer sympathy this year. I know she gained mine and once again Tamara was gross when she had to point out and humiliate her that she now longer worked at FOX 5. And yes ladies, clearly the PRODUCER lied to you BOTH, and if you can realize it..you both have the emails to realized the PRODUCER lied, not either of you.
Yes, I also love to hate RHOC the most! HAHA!
I think they’re ALL jealous of Alexis! She’s the only one the entire season that was happy all the time until her “so called” friends called her out. The best part of that is, they are all the same. Like Vikki said,”look in the mirror ladies” they are all vain. I see a little of what they accused Alexis of in ALL of them. Gretchen, well she’s the perfect example of the girl who will do ANYTHING to fit in with the popular ones.She probably would have sold her soul to the devil himself to be friends with Tamra, and just dumped Alexis off on the siode of the road in the meantime. Be careful, what goes around, comes back around Gretchen. Nobody had your back more than Lex, and I hope you need her again one day and she spits on you. That goes double for your relationship. You wont marry him, but you’ll have his children???? Hhmmm, can you say airhead??? If he can’t support the child he has, and I do understand his situation, he won’t support yours either. Tamra is a nasty, alcoholic gold digger.Actually, I think most of them drink too much, and that’s why there’s always drama, cause you have a bunch of drunk spoiled bitches that are all jealous of each other for some reason or another so they feel the need to have “INTERVENTIONS” (ON VACATION NO LESS) and what made any of you any better than Lex?????? Heather mentioned how Lex should have stayed with them, and using her husband and children to go home to was a poor excuse, because SHE has children too. Well, I guess we just figured out who the better mommy is
Have a great day everyone 
Alexis isn’t just vain and a show off, she is phony and they are grifters. Alexis and Jim are cast from the same mold as Taylor and Russel!
Tamra is a disgusting person inside and out. She is only happy when other people are miserable and you can see she really takes pleasure in causing pain to others. She is literally the worst person I have ever seen on television.
Tamra, Gretchen and Alexis should get the god awful weaves out of their hair. They are simply too old for them, especially Tamra. She looked like she had a huge wig on and it looked ridiculous. They all wear waaaay too much makeup as well. Tamra is extremely mean and with friends like her who needs enemies. They are becoming cartoon-like and quite frankly, all of them are hypocrites.
Please Andy make Heather return to Whoville!
I’m so sad it’s over! I hope Alexis doesn’t come back next year. There’s just nothing there in that “brain of her’s”. I don’t understand why she was hired in the first place. Maybe for a little comic relief to laugh at the dumb things she says “Costa Rica is in Mexico!” LOL I probably sound mean but it’s true.
If Tamra and Vicki continue their fight, I kinda don’t want Vicki back either. I can’t stand Brooks. I love Briana (probably my favorite person on the show) but she probably won’t film as much, now that she’s got the man and the baby.
Hope Tamra, Gretchen and Heather come back. I know most people on here don’t but I love them!
Eh, I like Heather. She’s very well-spoken and usually very even-tempered, so I think that comes across as snobby at times. I don’t care though because I still like her.
Gretchen has usually been the target for criticism at the reunion shows so I think she’s learned to stand up for herself more, which I appreciate. I do think she has a good heart.
Tamra holds no punches and tends to exhibit mean-girl behavior at times. She has gone overboard with her jabs at Alexis this season (which she has apologized for in her blog) and I hope she realizes she crossed the line.
Alexis has issues, LOL. She seems insecure about a lot of things and then she overcompensates by “faking” her way through conversations and trying to appear better/richer/more talented than she is. I can see how that would get on people’s nerves, TBH. But I think at some point, the housewives should just handwave a lot of her comments because I just don’t think she will ever really understand how she presents herself. I think she does have a good heart underneath all of her fakeness. And she needs to dump her loser of a husband pronto!
Vicki… is the absolute biggest HYPOCRITE in the entire RH universe! She deserves every single criticism that comes her way, especially from Gretchen and Slade. Vicki was horrible to both of them and now she’s — OMG so offended! — that others are calling her on it?! Give me a break.
I love Briana and wish her all the best with her marriage and baby.
They should put Vick in in a room with some of the Jersey girls( Queens of Hypocrisy)
michers, They would chew Vicki up and spit her out!!
Although Tamra can be a bit too mean sometimes, I think she makes the show. Some of her one liners are hilarious! If they got rid of her, the show would be boring in my opinion.
I actually like Heather and Terry. As someone else said, she’s probably a bit snobby, but I still like her. At least they really have money and she seems to be the only housewife that’s actually probably quite intelligent.
I was surprised to see Gretchen caught in some lies. She should have owned up to the lip thing. I found that annoying and kind of funny. I also don’t think she was a very good friend to Alexis. She seems quite fake.
Alexis – I really don’t care for her and I’m kind of surprised so many people here feel sorry for her. I mean she did the same thing to Vicki last year! I realize all the women are phony to some extent, but she is phony beyond belief! Cars are a good investment??!! In what world do cars appreciate? I guess she probably does have a good heart, but she is like talking to a brick wall. Nothing seems to sink into that thick brain of hers. I’m sure that is quite frustrating to the other ladies. And her controlling husband really needs to go!!
Vicki – total hypocrite and she deserved the Cabo comment after insinuating that Tamra cheated on Simon with Eddie. Isn’t she herself still “legally married”? Her daughter is awesome and she needs to listen to her more. Hope she and Tamra can make up and she ditches Brooks. You can do better, Vicki!!
Tamra may be a lot of things, but one thing Tamra isn’t is a liar. Ever since she’s been on the show, everything she accused people of doing was proven right.
Alexis is no victim. She can dish it, but like Melissa and Kathy, whenever an attack is thrown her way, she cries about it and resorts to playing the victim.
Vicki is a hypocrite and everything that Tamra threw out at her, she deserved.
As for Heather, I like her. She can be annoying and “stuffy” at times, but at least she’s a straight shooter.
Tamra, Gretchen and Heather are jealous of Alexis. All the accusations of her being phony and superficial are to cover up for their insecurities. Vicky has never been a jealous person so that is not a problem for her.
Okay, people really need to stop accusing others of being “jealous” just because they don’t like someone. I highly doubt any of them are jealous of Alexis. LOL
@Nicole
So true!
Anyone who Calls ALEXIS FAKE needs to address the Opportunistic Fame Whore GRETCHEN first – I always knew there something “off” there but this season really showed how desperate she is for fame.
There really was no1 to root for this year , if I had to it would be Alexis b/c underneath the insecurities and confused devotion to tradition there’s a good hearted person there .
Hopefully they bring some new chicks to level the playing field next year.
I’d like to see some Karmatic Justice regarding the ” Mean 3″ turn on each other next year.
I think the reunion was full of going after Alexis and Vicki. I think there was so much more Andy could have asked Tamra, Heather and Gretchen. I used to like Gretchen, but not this season, I feel she sees siding with Tamra helps her and Slade more so. I do feel sorry for Slade, as I have a two children with medical issues and in debt do to that too. What Andy & Vicki dropped the ball on in the Reunion show is that Gretchen was not so much being accused of having an affair, but dating another man while her much richer, much older man is dying and in the hospital.
Heather was just a bore, IMO. She reminds me of the Grinch taking candy away from Cindy Lou. To me she is rude and controling, the female version of Jim B. I also thinks it bothers her that the money they have is Terry made, not from her acting. Plus, Terry seems to be more famous from TV then her.
Tamra just has to have someone to pick on, which makes me wonder if she is really happy? She seems to have major hate for Alexis, which seems turbo for just “phoniness” issues. I think, since Jim/Alexis were friends of Simon/Tamra and when the marriage fell apart, so did that “friendship.” I do find it funny how Tamra feels Brooks is not teling the truth, but yet throws a “cyst-and-decease” letter at Jenna and Simon so that they cannot talk about her and her actions. Tamra, when upset enough, will throw ya under the bus, as she did Vicki about Cabo. I think Tamra is a friend while it is to her advantage, not the other persons. I do hope Eddie is gay, as I do not see their marriage working any other way. Simon saved until he lost his money, then Eddie was the white knight, but for how long. Tamra has no long term relaships it seems.
Wouldn’t it be nice to see a reality show where people have some redeeming values. How sad our society is to cast really awful people. I’m sorry but I think some of these comments on here are clearly written by Tamrat. She’s so self promoting and acts like a soft porn star. I love how Alexis called her out about having an affair on Simon. Yet people are making fun of Alexis for believing in God and not being afraid to say it. It appears they all but Vicki are struggling to make a living on no education so they all fight and promote really bad businesses.Gretchen’s handbags and singing? Plastic surgeon? Is he hurting for business? Just what exactly does Tamrat do and Eddie sleeze. I think Andy Cohen has read Fahrenheit 451 too many times and has a nice faux reality world made up for us who work real jobs. slutty old Tamrat, Eddie, Heather high brows ( literally ) GretlongCHIN, and sleezy Slade need to go away. Ewww!
reb, you have some good observations. When OC Housewives stated out, everyone seemed to get along. It has now become about how nasty the individual women can be at times. Tamra is the worst of the worst; I have said before that I think she sets horrible expamples for her daughters (hopefully they do not watch the show), remember the scene in the bathtub with Eddie? She is an embarrasment.
socal, I agree with you. All they do is fight and backstab. And the bathtub scene…EWWWW! Tamrat seems so concerned about her kids yet when does she ever work? I think the show is her income. Why doesn’t Bravo cast real women with real issues. I like Vicki and Alexis this season but just because they don’t go after the others like the others are constantly trying to undermine them Even Jeana was better on the show because she had a real life and real issues with her family and ex, not all this made up crap and watching old Tamrat in the bathtub or play with sex toys. Gross! GretCHIN is just as bad and has a horse face. Why not get women who really come from money or class. Oh wait, women with class wouldn’t do this type of show. I think Vicki stayed with it to help build advertising for her business, but being with the others slinging her reputaion throught the mud can’t help. Her daughter has to grow and let mom pick who she wants to date. Especially after the revelation about Don. I used to like him but now I know why Vicki was such a b.. to him. I enjoyed Alexis taking lessons from the voice coach, but then the others got jealous and ruined that for her. I agree that Andy doesn’t go after the mean girls. He’s probably afraid they’ll go after him. Just what is his allegiance to Tamrat?
Tamara is evil and scarey. She goes after someone each season and tries to DESTROY thier lives. You would think she would be the villian on a show but this is the real her. Scarey
Clearly there was no scripting for this reunion. Alexis started the season treating Heather like she did Peggy. The difference is Heather shot her down quick. She tried to play victim before everyone forgot what she did to Vicki a few seasons back….to soon Alexis. Why are people feeling sorry for Alexis she is fake….by the way the emails was priceless. I only hope Alexis cames back if she shows she has grown up.
Vicki needs to drop the zero and get a hero….he didn’t know she was on the show really!!!! Love Briana sad to say the mom could learn from daughter in this case.
Love Tam, Gret and Heather
Wish there would have been a part 3
