I’ve watched the past two episodes of The Real Housewives Of Orange County and it’s getting to be a bit much. Gretchen is now of a different race and ten pounds soaking wet. She and Slade Smiley are now an item. They talk of reverse-vasectomies, marriage and the fact that Slade is poor. Hold the phone. Slade is poor? Wasn’t he very wealthy at one point? And where are his two sons, had by different baby-mamas? Back to Slade being poor. Was he hit hard by the economic downturn? Yes, he went bankrupt.

Tamra and Simon are going through a rough patch. I’m no counselor, but maybe this is your cue to step out of the spotlight and focus on the marriage.

Speaking of focusing on other things, Jeana left the show. Time to zero in on the more important things and get as far away from Vicki as possible.

The new girl, Alexis, is so obviously bored with her own life. But her husband is too busy controlling her to notice. As long as they put God first.

Vicki is still nuts. A little cold to Jeana, but still nuts. And she’s trying to be a little nicer to people in general. Let’s wait and see.
