Vicki Gunvalson Reflects On The Season; Says She’s Been Put Through The Ringer!

July 17, 2012 | By | 21 Replies Continue Reading

RHOC star Vicki Gunvalson took to her blog to reflect on this season. Vicki says she is blessed to be on the show and reveals she reads all the comments-the good-the bad-and the ugly!

“Tonight is the second part of the reunion show, which we filmed back in June. It is brutal. You will see what I mean when you watch it tonight.

Total drama aside, I’ve been blessed to be on the show for seven great years. I have always said it is because of all of you that I am still here. We have had good times and bad times. We have had some totally fun times — and even some sad times. All of you know how important my family and friends are to me. What you may not know, or maybe I haven’t said to you before, is how important all of you are to me.

You all are — each and every one of you and I am still learning about you, and even myself. I wasn’t born into a show business family so I didn’t have any frame of reference to reflect on — or even a business model to consider. I just dove in this reality pool and started to swim. The instant reward was I found all of you. I have become a different person, I think, because of your love.

Not everything has been easy. There are still many uncertainties, for example, Facebook and Twitter. Just recently, I heard Oprah reveal how she felt when she read her Facebook page and Twitter — to actually see some of the negative responses she has had. Negative comments can be learning tools but they can also be cruel if personal. I have had both negative and loving comments. While some are hard to read, I know that you wanted me to hear what you had to say. Did I say some are hard to read? Oh yes, but I read them and I hear all of you.

So back to all of you — I wish you a happy and safe rest of the summer. I will always be here for you as you have been there for me. Let me hear from you. I may have to put my sunglasses on to read your comments, but that’s OK. I will read them, and I will still let you know I am grateful for your love and support.

Until I see you in person, I absolutely will keep you in my heart and thoughts. When you are facing some of your own drama, if anyone ever tells you to be quiet and don’t make a scene, I hope you will think of my advice and me: Make a scene, then yell, “Bring it on!”"

And if you think Vicki won’t return next season, you are wrong! She tells Bravo, “This season, I’ve been through the ringer as new friendships arose and old ones were tested on the show. I can’t predict who will be friends with whom next season, but I know now that my family and my closest friends are the most important thing to me. As women, we are strong people! Women can go through hell, but we are strong, and stand up and fight for what we believe in. I’m happy to hold my head up high and look forward to what’s next! I’m a fighter, Bring It On!”

Do you think Vicki should give The Real Housewives of Orange County a rest?!

    Don’t feel sorry for her….at all.
    She asked for it.
    She was just as judgemental as others.
    She was full of self-righteous indignation the last 6 seasons.

    Sorry, Vicki……own it.

    Vicki really is as fake and phony as Brooks. Maybe they deserve each other. I enjoy her on the show but the more I learn about her, the more I see how two faced she is.

    I never really liked Vicki, but she has a lot more class than Tamara.
    T is the ultimate oppurtunist, she used Vicki last season, and then became jealous, and used Heather this season.
    I hate how T was always stalking the other cadt members to air their dirty laundry…
    Did you go to Bass Lake
    Talking to Slades ex
    Talking to G’s ex
    Bringing up Alexis house she bought w cash and her husbands bankriptcy.
    Its so annoying she talks about everyone else so.she can cover her own drama. Jeana talked about T and look how T treated her..Talk about a hypocrite

    We all say we hate that behavior, but we watch the shows, read the blogs, read the gossip sites, follow them on FB and Twitter, etc. Is it really their bad behavior or our desire for entertainment fueling them?

      I really don’t watch these shows anymore – haven’t for months – too depressing to see people act in such despicable ways – but I do read the blogs while I have lunch – enjoy the narative and am interested in seeing what happens to these people after they’ve dug themselves into these giant holes.
      Pathetic I guess!

    Vicki is just one of those pathetic women who need a man in their life to be validated. She is not a strong, independent woman as she claims. She is clinging on to a man that makes her feel good, no matter how he is failing others in his responsibilities to them. And now she is failing her own children by insisting they accept a man that they know isn’t good for her. She is blind to his faults because she WANTS to be-she’s afraid if she looks too hard, she will have to admit that he is not the man for her.
    If Donn was cheating on her for 20 years, I imagine her love tank WAS empty! But how is it a step up to be with a man who doesn’t support his children, and who behaves like a lap dog? Vicki is afraid to be alone-so she better stop pushing people away! Because when Brooks is gone, she will have alienated everyone else and will REALLY be alone

      I completely agree with you… Tamra is constantly in everyone’s business…. and don’t even get me started on her fake crying….

      Does it make you wonder if Don really cheated for all those years? Was it with the same person or various? EtC…… I could understand Don cheating (BUT DO NOT AGREE WITH IT, Vicki did treat him horrible, but we only see the outside so who knows…. But I have to say I have ALWAYS LOVED DON…

        Honestly, I think Don and Vicki were swingers. What kind of wife would remain in a marriage knowing the husband is screwing around and has the potential to catch a sexual disease?

          Vicki said on the reunion that Donn still lives in the house because she has a Hugh mortgage payment and she needs his paycheck, that is probably the only reason she stayed with him; Donn got to screw whomever he wanted and she got his paycheck.

            Socalsoccer, I agree with your perception of the marriage. Vicki claimed to be the bread winner. The only one working. The one who has to do everything. My ears perked up like a dog when she said she needed his paycheck.
            All these women seem to lie about their real income. Jesus, it seems they go in debt just to be on television. When the show is over, they probably end up homeless and for what? What is worth being homeless for? To show people they have a taste for a lifestyle they can’t afford to keep?

        Well I can speak from experience. Sometimes wives are terrible to “the nice guy” because he’s been a shitty guy for a bit too long behind closed doors. People used to always assume I was the meanest wife ever but my husband had to be *ahem* retrained regarding fidelity and honesty. Once he behaved I did too. Mature? Nah. Effective? Indeed.

    Vicki does not need to worry about being put through the ringer next season as I seriously doubt that Bravo will bring her back next season. I could tell that Andy Cohen is not fond of Brooks and I think Andy knows that Brooks is too aggressive to bring around the other women. Vicki can go off and be happy but she can’t force the creep on these women. He’s dangerous.

    Also, I though it was really creepy of Brooks to announce Brianna’s wedding and pregnancy.

    Oh and one more thing. Did anyone catch Vicki say that she needs Don’s paycheck? All these years she made it seem like she was the only one working and paying for everything. All of a sudden she needs Don’s paycheck and that’s why they are still living together? Hmm. Sounds like Vicki is having financial problems and lived beyond her means.

      Rosalie, the area where Vicki lives is call Coto De Caza and it has a lot of expensive homes and when the housing market was booming in the OC from 2003-2007, those houses were way over appraised. I’m sure Vickie took cash equity out of her house to finance their lifestyle; they
      probably owe more than it is worth. Briana and her husband probably also help with payments since they live there.
