Season 4 Episode 6 Recap 12-30-08
As we put yet another year to rest, we go out with a bang and the Real Housewives. I can't being to tell everyone just how wonderful of a show this is. I want to thank everyone for stopping by and checking my blog. There will be more to come in 2009!
We start with Vicki:
having drinks with Briana at Hanna's Restaurant & Bar. They have great girl talk. Vicki shows off her new very cute shoes. (I would love a pair.) Vicki and Briana have a who loves who more conversation.
After a commercial break we come back to Vicki & Briana heading to the Red Cross to donate blood. Vicki fails so it was only Briana able to donate. Vicki feels Briana is strong due to her.
Next is Gretchen:
We start with her on set of Jo De La Rosa's "You Can't Control Me" video. As it turns out Gretchen is an extra. Then on to Jeff's three kids. Lizzy 20, Jill 19, and Jake 17. The three of them talk about their dad and Gretchen and how grateful they are to have Gretchen in their lives mainly for their dad.
now back to the studio with Jo. Gees Jo looks soooo good! It's great to see that despite all of the troubles between Jo and Slade, who well they get along and that Slade manages Jo. They make several takes. (All looks fun)
Now on to Tamra:
Tamra has a heart to heart with Ryan. First topic is the lip tattoo. As Ryan reveals he and one of his Ex's almost had a baby, which was lost at 3 mos pregnancy. Tamra is upset that Ryan kept this secret from her. Tamra gets teary eyed which causes Ryan to do the same. The Nugget comes from the ultra sound photos they thought it looked like a chicken nugget. LOL Not really.
We are back to Tamra who is having lunch with a couple girlfriends from childhood. Tamra shows off her 40th bday gift - watch. And they discuss several different topics.
Next is Lynne:
She and Gretchen are having lunch at a French Restaurant. They mainly talk about age. And cancer.
Back to Lynne and everyone getting ready for Raquel's 18th bday party. Although there were many bumps along the way, everyone is getting ready. They had the party at a small cafe. Alexia comes late to the party due to the fact of seeing her boyfriend before the party. Her BF told her she looked like a hooker, which truth be told, she did. No parent should let their 15 yr old dress they way she did. *See Picture*
Then their dad was late because he had to pick up the bday BMW car. Not only that, she got gas money. Blah Blah Blah
And next we have Jeana:
Kara and some girlfriends are shopping. Jeana has cut her off from free money. So Kara went out and got a job at Glitter Girl.
We come back to Kara and the owner fixing up the back room. They are mainly painting the back room. And Jeana show up with an OC Drink for Kara.
Next we have all the girls:
at Javier's for dinner. Then in the middle of good conversation in comes the newest wife Lynne. Lynne then tells everyone to cut, she doesn't want to talk kids. Vicki feels Lynne came on too strong. Then Gretchen & Lynne head to the ladies room which leaves the rest of the ladies to talk about Lynne behind her back. Upon their return topic then switches to Gretchen & Jeff. Tamra chimes in with Gretchen going on vacay to Bass Lake while Jeff was in ICU. That pisses Gretchen off, as she tells Tamra. I have to back Tamra up on this one. You shouldn't go on vacay and drink while your supposed love one is on his death bed. There is a difference between taking a day off and going on vacay and drinking. Lynne then chimes in yet again and tells them to stop talking kids and cancer. Tamra & Vicki then head to the ladies room. While they are gone, Gretchen pours on the tears. Upon the girls return, Vicki tells that nothing was said to hurt anyone. At that Tamra gets up and leaves. Jeana tells Tamra on her way home, to call Gretchen and Tamra says no. Which why should she. Truth hurts!
On next weeks episode:
We have Tamra having lunch with Lauri (yes! Lauri is back - life is good) filling her in on what has been happening with the OC wives. Jeana's broker is her ex husband and she is looking for a change. Lastly all of the wives and husbands head out to the horse races and Lynne doesn't like the fact that the other wives didn't invite her over to their table.
Are you kidding me?
There is rumor out there that there may be a Real Housewives of Newark. Full Story
*Do the producers not realize they need to stop with all the spin offs? There is only one good one, and that is RHOC - the original!!!

Recap Episode 5 Season 4 12-23-08
Due to being on holiday vacation, I am able to provide a recap sooner then usual.
This is the 4th of July weekend episode.....
We start this episode with Vicki:
Everyone is at Lake Havasu,AZ . And everyone has an appointed job to pack for the boat. The one thing I disagree with is the fact that Tamra and Simon's two young children are on the boat loaded with everyone drinking. Not a good parental choice if you ask me.
After a shot commercial break we come back to Vicki. Jeana shows up with Frankie. Who as Jeans knows is a very sore spot with Vicki, due to a rental disagreement (last season). There are bitter feelings on both ends (Vicki & Frankie). Jeana didn't tell Vicki Frankie was coming because Jeana didn't think it was Vicki's business, and she thought it was water under the bridge. Although you have Tamra saying Jeana knew full well Vicki's feelings and where the situation stands. Vicki chose to not sit with Jeana and Frankie. Poor Tamra felt in the middle. This all went down at the Naked Turtle. Donn gives Vicki some love to make her feel better. Jeana & Frankie then opted to spend the rest of the day by themselves. *That is the last we see of Jeana this episode.
Now back to Vicki. They are all now mostly drunk and there is a lot of boob grabbing. Lauren looks after Vicki, and she would be so happy if Michael and Lauren married. Now to after lunch they headed back onto the boat. Simon did at least 5 beer bombs, whereas Tamra only did one. Tamara as with myself get very lovey dovy when she gets a few drinks. Vicki got hit in the head with a football. She may have been down, but she is not out.
After a short commercial break back to Havasu. To where Ryan shows Tamra his lip tattoo. Which enrages Tamra to the point that she is cussing Ryan and crying. It also doesn't help that Simon is siding with Ryan. Of course Ryan is thrilled how upset he has made his mom.
Next up is Lynne:
Raquel and two of her gf's are out having lunch, discussing Raquel's 18th bday party. Raquel and her gf's attempt to get alcohol added to their drinks....it back fires big time!
After Vicki we come back to Lynne. She is shopping with her two girls. And go figure, Lynne is the same size as her two daughters. And the shopping total is $1885.63
After a short stint at Lake Havasu we come back to Lynne at Cafe Vienna (Coffee) with her husband, Frank trying to pick out preferred a BMW for Raquel's bday. Frank said no party at the house, he will rent, but not at home.
Now back to Lynne. She is having a tanning party. Raquel gets very upset because she was only able to spray tan once, compared to her sister Alexa getting spray tanned twice.
Next is Gretchen:
She places a call to Jeff's children mainly Jill. Gretchen gives Jill a run down on her dad's status. He is still in ICU. Jeff will be in the hospital longer then expected and Gretchen is trying to get both children, Jill and Jake out as soon as possible.
After a short commercial break we come back to Gretchen. She is at Bass Lake, CA - Bass Lake Recreation Resort (A Members only)
She is with her family. Parents and brother Ethen. Gretchen flew Jeff's kids in, so they are with Jeff at the hospital, while Gretchen is with her family at the lake on a boat getting drunk. She clams Jeff knows she needs to be with her family to keep her grounded. Sure, yeah what ever!!
Back to Gretchen. She and her family are sitting about a table just laughing and having a good time. She leaves and calls Jeff. Jeff doesn't feel any better. He is now out of ICU. She wishes him a Happy 4th, however shouldn't she be with Jeff who is dyeing. She says she loves him sooooo much.
That concludes this episode.
On Next weeks episode:
Lynne meets the gals and Gretchen doesn't want to be judged. Tamra then says, you don't vacation while your loved on is in the hospital. Amen to that!! Also Jo and Slade stop by.

Here is the much awaited recap from Tuesday's show. Sorry it is so late, however as I mentioned with schedules with week and Christmas programs, I have been very busy.
We start with Tamra:
She is packing for their 10 yr anniversary. She is wanting to pack way to many shoes. We are now back on to simply Tamra & Simon. Before dinner Tamra surprises Simon with a sexy show. She presents Simon with lots of gifts. Handcuffs, porn etc. After the two sealed the deal they met up with Donn & Vicki. (See below for further info)
On to Vicki:
Michael's GF Lauren is staying at Vicki's this summer. Turns out her dog is having potty training issues. Vicki is packing for Napa. She and Donn are heading on the Napa trip with Tamra and Simon.
Next up Jeana:
Kelli Ellis shows up to redecorate Jeana's bedroom. Retail for bedding....$8000. Kara and Uncle Richie head out to lunch. Kara has been offered several internships, however she won't work for nothing. Jeana wants to be treasured by her next man, not yelled at.
John Ellis Jeana's personal trainer shows up. (John & Kelli are not related)
It has been hard for Jeana to move on. John has truly been helping Jeana move on.
Now on to Gretchen in Indy, IN:
They are at the Indy 500. Gretchen takes a ride in an Indy car and freaks the entire time. We are back to Gretchen and they are using a police escort to get to the race. Gretchen is meeting all these big Indy racers and doesn't know who they are. Some of the footage this week of Indy is the same used last week. In a nut shell, Gretchen is the boring new girl. Gretchen & Jeff go on a carriage ride in downtown Indy.
Vicki, Donn, Tamra, and Simon:
They get a limo and head off on their trip. Vicki, believes life is all about check marks. Donn & Vicki will celebrate their 15th in November (hence they have now celebrated 15 yrs). They take a tour of Berkachels Winery.
Back to the two couples at Napa. They are getting all the in's and out's of wine drinking.(Grgich Hills Estate)
They then head to St. Supery. In a nut shell they are winery hoping. Next Vicki and Tamra stomp grapes. Then Tamra & Simon stomp grapes. Donn won't stomp grapes. Poop!
The four of them meet up for dinner. It is fancy, it is a 7 course meal. First up Oysters. Vicki won't eat her Oysters. Next: Tuna Tartare. Tamra is not big on Sushi. Next: Beff Tenderloin. Tamra didn't feel comfortable at such a high end restaurant. She doesn't put that much thought into her food. Next: Seared Foie Gras. What is Foie Gras? - the fattened liver of a duck. Donn is keep up with changing the wine for each type of food. No one else is. Vicki & Donn are arguing about her not being told anything loving. Vicki needs loves, Donn won't hug her. Back to the couples. They head out for a boat ride. Both Vicki & Donn are attention deprived. Vicki then mumbles about how lonely she is........
Now for Lauri:
Lauri is paying for hair extensions for Ashley & McKenzie. Lauri takes about Josh: Since Josh has been having such a hard time, Lauri moved him back into the townhouse with Ashley. Lauri though if she provided him a place to live and wheels, he would turn his life around. Ashley then talks about Josh. She believes Josh was clean when he first moved back. She thinks it was a down ward spiral from there. She then wonders back on their lives growing up and what caused him to have the addiction problem. Back to Lauri talking about having 7 kids.....they go for couples massages. She loves the life, however with the great life, comes challenges. After the wedding, Josh put himself in rehab. 45 days later he slipped. Josh was arrested, and charged with possession and he was under the influence with intent to sell. Josh is battling Heroine. Josh has fallen into the black hole.
And onto the big close for this episode with Lauri. Josh tells his mom he would like to go back in time. Lauri and Sophie are at the horse stables. Lauri explains all the troubles Josh has encountered. Lauri is very protective of her family. She tells us that she is cutting back on all extra activities and focusing 100% on her family. She is sorry. Then the producers of RHOC proceed to post:
"Due to her desire to devote more time to her family, Lauri decided to cease filming for the show. Josh was sentenced to 8 mos in jail."
The above I think is so sad. I hope Lauri & George are able to get Josh the help that he needs and everything works out for the positive in the end. With any luck, Lauri will stop by the wrap up show and tell us how everything is going.
Lauri, you will be missed!!!!!!!!
We start with Tamra:

Tuesday's Show 12-9-08
I am sorry, however at this time I do not have my recap ready for publish. I am slightly behind this week with schedules and Christmas programs. I hope to have it up by Thursday evening. Please bear with me. The news I do have, is which original housewife said goodbye at the end of the show yesterday. It was Lauri Waring-Peterson. The reason being she has to spend time getting her family (mainly Josh) the much needed help and attention he needs. I can say that I did shed a few tears. I loved Lauri. We have seen her go though so much and end up on the positive end. I wish her and her entire family all the best. You are/will be greatly missed, Lauri!!!Don't forget to read Lauri's blog.

Breaking News...New Housewife Dec. 16th
Yes, you heard it here first. As you should already know, one of the housewives is leaving and so in her spot we are getting a new one. Her name is Lynne Curtin. She and her husband of 18+ yrs have two teenage daughters. She won't appear until the December 16th episode. You can read more about Lynne HERE.
Regarding one of the ladies leaving
I am going to take my guess as to who is leaving....I think Jeana. My second choice is Gretchen. Only days away to see who it is. It will be bad news if it is Jeana. I will miss her.

Season 4 Episode 2 Recap (12-2-08)
First let me start by saying all of the ladies look fantastic this year. All fit and trim. You can tell now that Jeana has gotten rid of Matt, she is so much happier, it shows. Go Jeana. Now on to the recap.....
First up we have Tamra:
Tamra is changing Ryan's old room into her weight room. Simon has now left Fletcher Jones to start his own business. While Tamra and Simon move all of Tamra's weight equipment they create several nicks and bumps. Watching them was a little funny.
After a short break, we get back to Tamra. She is shopping for her 10 yr wedding anniversary. Please keep in mind she is shopping in an adult store. She feels sex is very important to a great marriage. She is planning a surprise lingerie show for Simon complete with toys and gifts.
We now move on to Gretchen:
Gretchen and Jeff go motorcycle shopping. She actually asked for a pink bike....oh brother! She didn't just say it's going to be hard to ride in heels. Oy!
Next up is Vicki:
They are taking a family vacay to Mexico. Brianna "helps" her mom pack. Although she made the statement that she would rather stay with Colby. Then Jeana shows up. And Donn shows up. The trip to Mexico does not include Donn. Vicki is going to spend time with her kids and sister. Whereas Donn is going fishing.
Back to Vicki out to dinner with Donn. Donn reveals that he feels left out of the Mexico trip. Donn asks Vicki to be normal, she claims she is normal. No Donn says, you are weird. Donn must have gotten offended when Vic asked if he was having a good time. Hence his earlier question. Vicki wants to have a family BBQ while she and the kids visit back home in Chicago. Vic then wonders if she should invite her kids dad Michael Sr. to which Donn exclaims Michael Sr. is a piece of trash. Donn wishes he could tell it to his face. Then it is revealed that Donn raised Michael Jr. and Brianna, however never adopted them.
Back to Vicki...we pick up with them leaving for Mexico. Michael then approaches his mom about not going to Mexico, because he just got back from Costa Rica 2 wk ago. Brianna is over going to Mexico as well. Then Vicki brings up the fact that Michael's GF is meeting them there on Tuesday and if he doesn't go, he will owe Vicki the $500. Donn is still upset he was not asked to go to Mexico. Vicki then drops the F bomb on Michael because he didn't want to go. Brianna also admits that she would rather not go.
Now to Jeana:
She is selling Tammy Knickerbocker's old home. Was 4 Million, now 14 million. Jeana is doing "short" sales currently. The seller is not allowed any money in a short sale. Jeana prefers short sales for foreclosures. Short sales are just that, short and sweet. Foreclosures on the other hand are drawn out.
We pick up with the man from the short sale coming over to sign the papers.
Next Lauri:
We start with them riding horses. Bria and Ashley to name a couple of the kids, are offering horse baths. Ashley is currently developing a skin care line. The company is A2Z Skin Care. Lauri and George haven't helped Ashley at all financially. It was all on her own, er through vendors/investors.
Back to Lauri.....she is out eating with Ashley. They talk the new business the entire time.
All of the ladies together:
Then all of the ladies come over (via Limo) and pick up Jeana. Lauri says she is happy to hand over the gold digger title to Gretchen. Goes on to say that Lauri feels Gretchen fills that title more then herself. The last to get picked up is Gretchen. They all comment that they believe Gretchen got a boob job. Jeana asks Gretchen how things are going and she opens up about Jeff and the acute leukemia. Gretchen then comments that she finds it rude for Vicki to be on her PC while in route to the spa. They arrive at the spa and have lunch and chit chat.
The spa is the Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic. While at lunch at the clinic Gretchen reveals she was previously married. Thought the guy was prince charming, and then after they got married he just put his feet on the coffee table and thought I got the girl now I'm done. To which someone(Tamra) shouts out "was he poor"? Dead silence. The guy was 9 yrs older. Gretchen then tells everyone since she is the new girl they can't tell her to shout up. And she admits that yes, Jeff could be her father, but that doesn't bother her. On to the spa treatment...Vicki works the entire time. Lauri had to leave early due to family obligations. then Vicki says she thought she and Lauri were good friends, however since George came into the picture she doesn't see Lauri much. then on to Tamra and Gretchen. The talk back and forth. Then they all leave with gift bags.
First up we have Tamra:
Tamra is changing Ryan's old room into her weight room. Simon has now left Fletcher Jones to start his own business. While Tamra and Simon move all of Tamra's weight equipment they create several nicks and bumps. Watching them was a little funny.
