anyone of any age throwing a hamster against a wall has serious problems. yes, even at age 3! the normal reaction would be to drop the hamster. throwing it shows big problems. i suppose jeana just let it go as she lets everything go. i guess the hamster was not "golden" like her darlings.

Kara,

As I thanked your mom and the other ladies on the show, thanks for sharing your lives with us each week. I'm sure it is difficult to just "be" with the cameras there for every little thing! I'm not sure that my family would hold up as well as yours. Good luck with your college applications!

Please..you didn't know the cameras were rolling! You LIVE for that camera. Colton is the only decent person in that household. You guys come off as completely disfunctional..and I hope for Colton's sake your jerk of a brother Shane, and arrogant, clueless mother don't ruin him for good. I feel really bad for your dad, you guys have no sympathy or comapssion for his injury. At least you haven't shown it, and that is pretty sad since you are on a freaking "reality" show.

Shane has BIG problems - the fact that he can't be trusted around animals is a sign of major issues. Too bad your Mom
didn't get him help early on. It's also sad that your Dad doesn't want to be around the house because of all the "chaos".

Kara,

I know that it's not fair to render judgement based on a a few brief glimpses that have been edited in a highly subjective fashion...But life's not fair, so:

You seem to be one of the few Coto kids depicted in RHOC whose character and future still hang in the balance. A bunch of them are clearly evil spawn (Ashley,Megan,Michael..) a couple seem damaged beyond repair by their upbringing (Josh, Shane...) and a couple look like they are good kids in spite of the insanely materialistic upbringing (Briana,Colton.) Lauri Waring's breasts are also about your age, and their future is downhill from here. But I digress.

That just leaves you, the funny, smart gotta-be-angry at some of the BS you see around you but playing it off with edgy humor type, who could go either way. From my perch, you could either turn into a nightmare of entitlemet and dissipated affluence, a grouch baseball wife, or, being intelligent and self aware, you could end up a really sharp and funny Coto survivor. And yes, it takes almost as much to survive too much privilege as it does too little.

Good luck, hang in there, go East to college, and no more posing for Pit Bull Calenders.

Good luck with college, I know that you will have no problems as far as i could see with the show and all. My mom and I joke around and call each other whores and dorks and retards and so on, there is nothing wrong with that, I am 19 and I still do that, if people have a problem with that then thats stupid like you said its the mother daughter relationship.

First off Jody I hope you read this are you that bad off that you have to tell a sen.in high school how bad her family is??Who are you to judge? Besides that they tape 100 of hours of footage do you think the producers are going to show the family being civil for every episode umm can we say no ratings. With that being said Jody's prob is a real "dirty whore" who's green with envy. What I have seen on the show seems like a normal family silblings are going to fight.

Also, I loved your comment to Shane last season when you said that no matter how much money Shane makes, you would always be happier than him. There have been no truer words ever spoken by a 16-year-old before. Some people will always be unhappy no matter how much money they have.

Kara,

Honey, I don't know what to say to you really. You are beautiful and for the record, oddly you are actually much more prettier with your hair in a back twisted bun of some sort and little make up. You have it naturally - you are blessed in that area. When ever I see you dolled up with hair and make up, you don't look as pretty as you do when your running around the house like a coo coo bird. That's very rare that some one can pull off a natural look so well. - YOU GO GIRL!

Outside of that, I want to wish you much success and love to your future and your schooling. Yeah, you tend to be a bit immature and self centered (always asking someone to make you something) but you do seem real. That accounts for something. I just hope you grow out of that materialistic side and earn your own money...(as Im sure you will)

I got your Dirty whore comment, it was clear you were joking.
And it would be great if you acted more your age rather than a 10 year old. My own 10 and 13 year old dont act the way you and Shane do and they never have. You visit the Zoo, not go home to one....ya kno

Also, I didn't like the way you sat around and let Shane make so many nasty comments about the women in the room. It almost appeared you secretly enjoyed it. Not sure and they edit stuff alot to not show everything, but I didnt see a scene where you really stood up and told him to knock it off or you would be getting your mother. Your mother claimed she was clueless about it, meaning you clearly didnt tell her at that moment.

You all act as though your scared of him or something.

Well, you do your thing and stay beautiful and just make sure your as beautiful inside as you are outside. Your one of the prettiest on the show outside of Tammy and Laurie's stepdaughter Mckinzi.

Your fun and extremely energetic just STAY TRUE BOO-BOO!!

muuuuuahah!

I just wanted to tell you how much you remind me of me!

The way youre completely close with Colton which is so cute, i dont have a litte brother but i do have a nephew and were just like that. ALSO the way youre so close with your dogs thats how i am with mine. AND the way youre the one in a million who does not drink but has a ton of friends that drink is exactly me in high school and now in college. I have yet to drink ever. I dont agree with it either and i give you alot of respect for living in Cota and not drinking. I know this all probably sounds gay but its like watching myself on tv, i love it..i think we would be best friends if we knew each other :) ha

and there are a lot of spoiled children in this world but nobody cares about them because they aren't on TV.

and just because you're on TV doesn't mean you live for the camera. who in their right mind would say no to an opportunity like that? because this show is bound to open a lot of doors for you and your family. i don't know. people are just stuck up their own ...butts. you are by far my favorite of the kids on the show. you have your principals and you stick to them and that's a lot more than a lot of these jealous people could say for themselves.

Keep up the hard work and good luck with everything, college is harder than you will realize! Esp. with your boyfriend possibly being at a different school! You two seem to have a special relationship that will more than likely make it through all the petty things that could break a long distance relationship. I hope you plan on playing volleyball in college. It is amazingly fun an worth all the time and effort! They need to show more of you playing, I would love that! Good luck girl!

I cannot even believe the negativity in these blogs...I happen to also be a teenage girl living in California, and can completely understand what you mean by knowing you're spoiled, but not rotten.Living in california is a lifestyle, not just a location.Specially in Orange County.As far as being spoiled or stuck up goes,the Keough family is incredibly down to earth.Being on the show, they could have taken that opportunity to show off everything they have,but they chose to include their family fights,how hard their parents work,and normal activites to prove how they are JUST LIKE YOU.They might be better off, but they are a normal family.So honestly to all who have something negative to say,leave ur jealousy at the door and stop taking it out on this poor family who has already opened up their lives to you for entertainment value.

whats upper's kara, i think your the most funny and come off very close to being down to earth. aahhhh sort of !. sorry for my crappy spelling i had a long night with my job and my girlfriend valorie . she likes you also we agree your the cutest if i didn't add that . funny interview your humor is unique for sure. shane that guy cracks me up "hey tits" lol . hes super funny like you and real .your freaking bro reminds me of myself but very different .(hes pretty i ani't) im ok though. but yeah his funny as hell though. colton rocks he seems like your bodyguard or something i know he loves you 2 much in a family way and thats cool. oh man but the other people like ohhh man shes cute and all but " the prime example of oc's fake girls" ashley is so fake she thinks based on her and her ego that life is supposed to be handed to her on a silver platter . theres boatloads of hott girls all over cali who bust their behinds in college and work fine and heck to but her types are scary . im peruvian and jo slades girl oh my godness almost maybe worse than ashley . (almost makes me ashamed to be peruvian ) ahahah yeah jo to me ani't s@@#. theres hotter girls at clubs on the worst nights. jo and ashley i feel bad for saps like slade oh man hes rocks as a person but needs to wake up and dumb that scumbag jo. well then again thats whats keep you guys a guaranteed 3rd season it keeps it going but if i was him i would never mess with a girl like that its ani't worth it. i think you kara are different i dont know its like my love for the actor which people would say who? never heard of him!. i love james woods he rocks theres something about that guy that i love about that dude hes smart super talented but as usual holywood overlooks the best . im also a fan of melissa schuman shes an actress i hope to finally meet her someday shes so nice .(did i mention shes off the metter to hot for your blog" yup shes a keeper married and the whole 9 yards . thats differntly a trophy. anyhow good luck and go to ucla you look like a bruin . that sounds weird huh? i think your personality and the way you are fits best at ucla .i dont see you as a trojan. your like an elite democrat . keep it up smarty pants and give your bro shane tell him keep it up also and give him a sold cold (steve austin) stunner move on the show .that would be so funny . feel free to e-mail me back for a rebuttal if you want ,if not who cares see ya .

Wow, I can't believe I actually have been reading this, I guess this is what happens when you are trying really hard not to study for midterms!
I just wanted to say that I'm a sophomore in college and I was totally shocked by everyone's responses to your family! My mom and I act the same way! It's an amazing blessing to be able to joke around with your mom like she's one of your best girls!
Love from Ventura County :)

Kara-
I just wanted to say that you are a sweet heart. I also have two brothers, although I am the youngest, we still had our fights. I think any adolesent with brothers can understand why there are fights and where the true brother sister relationship comes in. It is kind of funny to watch the little fights because it reminds me of the times my brother and I would have stupid fights. Since my brother has moved out of the house, I do not have to deal with his immaturity anymore. THNAK GOD! Well good luck at UCLA!
God Bless-

Hey kara! I'm such a fan of the show and of you. I think your really mature for your age and that your mom did a good job raising you. I hope you and Steven are doing well. I know what its like to be distant from a boyfriend because of college. It sucks. There are a bunch of people out there putting you and your family down- saying your spoiled, blah blah blah. DONT LISTEN TO THEM. The only reason that people make fun/ talk bad about others is because they are not happy with their own lives so they try to break down others. On a happier note- i love how close you and your little brother are. I have two younger siblings and I envy the relationship that you and Colton have! Ps- even though Shane may act like a total jerk, he's totally hot! (sorry i know you must hear that alot)

I freaking love their family. Seriously! Although I'm not a huge fan of the dad but oh well haha... Kara is seriously one of the funniest people ever. Everything she says on camera makes me laugh. She's really grown up for only being 18/19ish.... Colton is an absolute doll and Jeana is the coolest mom ever. She has a lot on her plate and keeps a good balance. I think you guys have a great family and don't listen to the negative bull shit... I love the show because of you guys. I think a lot of the other families are more stuck up and you all seem the best off when it comes to money.. but what do I know right?

Anyways.. keep it up and hope everything continues to go awesome

Hey Kara,

I am writting this e-mail in general for all the "Coto" kids. Kara I am proud of you mostly because despite you family situation with your mom and dad this has not negatively influenced you into drinking or drugs and that is "GREAT" You are definately a great romodel for today's youth.I would like to say that it was good to see how all of the teenagers on the show portrayed themselves just like the average teens all across the world. The only difference is that you have more material things then the average teen. I know this to be factual because I have 4 kids and 2 are teens. I am not able to buy them alot of stuff as your parents do for you. So if you dont mind me asking. When the day comes that you all are cleaning out your closests for clothes that dont fit you, please feel free to send them to my kids. They are use to hand me downs. Atleast I know they will be very nice hand me downs. Again thank you for reading this.

Colton is the only one with a brain and at least acts his age. Your Mom spoils the heck out of you guys and I don't blame your Dad for how he feels about it. I hope for your sake that you and your brothers don't have to actually make a living on your own, I doubt you would make it.

Man people are rough, and judgemental. Nobodies family is perfect and having your life examined under a microscope for everyone to see, whoa. I think your family is fairly normal... i know my approval helps--sarcasm! I understand about calling your mom a name and not meaning it to be mean, as me and my friends do that. As for sibling relationships they are never perfect either, you guys seem well within normal bounds and clearly do love eachother.

I cant believe that people across the nation are calling this "real housewives," and "real kids". Truth of the matter is that people across United States dont live the lush lifestyles that these people live! Not one 16 year old that i ever knew {past and present } has ever got a BMW for their birthday! Fact is, these kids will never know what it feels like to put in an honest days work, they will never be normal, with their nose jobs, fake boobs and 90,000 dollar cars!If you put any one of those spoiled, self centered kids in the place where I grew up, they would definatley drown, or sink, ahhhh, what a shame!

Kara,
When you said that UC Berkeley is about "people eating out of garbage cans, living in trees and smoking weed", I reacted with disappointment. I thought you, being a smart girl, might see Berkeley for all its richness instead of coming from a place of superficial judgment. Having lived in and near Berkeley for most of my life, I have heard disparaging comments from people who know nothing about this complex and rich city. If you were to open your eyes, you would start to see Berkeley for all it is and all it represents, not just through the narrow lens of your prejudice. While you are here, I challenge you to take the time to educate yourself about Berkeley.
UC is the top-rated public university in the world and rivals the Ivy League colleges scholastically; the faculty are world-class leaders in their fields. Many students I know at Berkeley are dedicated to finding positive solutions to the major issues of the day and go on to become leaders in their fields. Many of them return to offer their wisdom and knowledge to the new crop of students. If the main aspiration in your life is to be a Real Housewife from Orange County, than that probably doesn’t mean much to you. Berkeley is interesting for the innovation you see here; it is ripe with creativity, learning and action. You don't seem to understand the rare experience you have been given. Please don't squander this opportunity or step aside for someone who would appreciate it more. There is more to life than Guess watches, pedicures and Hummers.
