Season 4 Episode 8 Jan. 13, 2009 Recap

Are you ready for the episode 8 recap ladies and gentleman? Here it is and is H O T
We start this week with Tamra:
She is taking etiquette classes. This is funny. Not only because Tamra makes it humorous, I do the same things she does. At least for me, there is no teaching me a new way. LOL There are 3 styles, Continental, American and the Tamra style. I fall under the Tamra style. LOL
Back to Tamra. Brian Malarkey - Chef comes over to discuss a dinner party. A 7 course meal she hopes to host. Simon has a Tequila venture company and she wants to include that into the theme/party.
We check back in with Tamra. All of the pre party festivities are under way. Tamra is always up for a party in her mouth. LOL Tamra picks up her etiquette book to brush up before the guests arrive. Ryan completed bar tending school, so he will be the bartender for the party. The guests are now arriving. The first to arrive are Gretchen and Jeana. Followed by Lynne and Frank. Gretchen makes the comment that she is emotionally over loaded. Ryan is happy to meet Gretchen, "she is a smoking hot girl". Gretchen mentions about the emotional drain Jeff's illness has taken on her the last 8 mos. It doesn't appear as though it is taking a toll on her. Vicki and Donn also have arrived at the party. Each place has a name tag. Tamra is hot. Vicki is Woo Hoo. Tamra makes a toast and welcomes them all to her home and she thinks of them not at friends but as family. Lynne then makes the comment that Tamra must have forgotten she and Frank were there, because she feels left out. Tamra makes a comment about a dubie, and Lynne has no clue what one is and Vicki then says, that Lynne must be high because she is way too carefree. The "theme" is spice and Tequila. Vicki feels Gretchen has to be the life of the party all of the time. You said it sister! Tamra and Vicki get together and Tamra makes the statement that she is going to her her wasted, to which Vicki makes the statement she believes Gretchen is already wasted. To which Tamra says, no they are going to get her naked wasted. They want to get Gretchen to do something stupid. Tamra believes in peoples actions not words. Which is what Gretchen does. Ryan brings Gretchen a tequila shot. Simon puts Tamra on the spot with her etiquette classes. Gretchen makes the statement that it has been 8 mos of not getting any. Ryan offers to clean Gretchen's pallet. Tamra makes the statement that Gretchen needs to relax, it is hospital all the time. Jeana did move the full shots away from her, she always ended up with one anyway. By this time Gretchen is beyond wasted and flirting it up BIG time with Ryan. Tamra did give Gretchen a warning about Ryan, that he is a man whore. It is apparent that she doesn't care. Gretchen is all over Ryan. Gretchen wants to be the center of attention. Jeana was concerned about Gretchen, since by this time she has no control over her own actions. She is now wrapped about Ryan. We then move to the kitchen where Ryan kisses Gretchen on the forehead and next thing you know Tamra turns around and they are both gone. Where did they go???? Tune in next week to find out!
Now Lynne:
She and husband Frank headed out to dinner alone to Sage on the Coast. We then move on to Raquel bowling with some of her girl friends. The girls went behind closed doors and took a quick drink. Now back to her parents at dinner talking about the girls and what they wouldn't do, ie drinking. What did the girls just do, read above. And we are back to the girls bowling. la la la la la la.
We now come back to Gretchen. Talking to Raquel about drinking and driving. Raquel blows her off.
Next up Gretchen:
She is very thankful Jeff's kids came out, however they are all flying out today. They hope to come back in August. Jeff has beat it 4x, however he remains in the hospital.
We come back to Gretchen. She is during Yoga to re leave stress at Lotus7. Gretchen feels as though life is passing her by. She also feels that everyone beats her up if she goes out and has a good time, or she hates herself inside. Either way she feels terrible. Jeff is hospitalized at City Hope. She feels guilt and once again life is passing her by. Jeff doesn't wish to go on. :-(
We now check in with Vicki:
She is in Chicago visiting her family. First up is her little brother Billy. Vicki comes equipped with food, beer, etc. She is getting ready for a BBQ. Vicki's mom is Joanne. They discuss Briana and Michael. (They did not come on the trip) They start a bonfire with a gasoline towel. She also has a sister Lisa. Vicki's mom won't go to CA because Vicki is busy all of the time. Her mom never had to work, and had 5 children. One of Billy's friends who is at the BBQ, attempts to set up Joanne and his dad. So the guy gave Joanne, his dad's number which she puts in her boobs.
Next week on RHOC Season 4 Episode 9:
We pick back up at the party Tamra and Simon are hosting. Lynne and Frank offer Gretchen a ride home, however Tamra informs them that she will be spending the night at her house.
