Tamra,
I can't believe I am the first comment u've had! I have to say I think it is sad that people confuse conceit with confidence. You have the right to be confident in saying u are the most beautiful housewife compared to u'r predesessors."Bravo!" ,(no pun intended).I think Simon is the proof of that as well. None of the other husbands/boyfriends proves that more because none of them compare to him as of yet. You seem to have the most stable relationship of them all and that is commendable. I have to say though it would be nice to see more of your family than just U, Simon and Ryan.I have to say one negative thing though, The episode when u had the drinks with u'r clients that u sold houses too (Felix and Wife and Steve) I was disturbed by how U were hanging on Felix in front of his wife, it made u appear way to provocative for a professional real estate agent but I chalked it up for production reasons ("I should hope").In closing,
TCGB Peace and Prosperity to U and yours.

Hi Tamara,

I love your addition to the show. Its always nice to have a little ball of fire to shake everyone up a bit. And the sarcasm is great, too. You give us a great mix of openness w/ reality; you're not hiding your relationship or your concern for you son from the cameras. Watching you & Ryan sort of mirrors my early twenties- two successful parents, with no idea of what to do with my life except that I wanted -no, needed- to be a success like my parents. But had no clue how to get there. And unfortunately, like your son, I had to start at a $10/hour job, too. I don't think its sheer laziness on our part; maybe Ryan, like me, is scared of not succeeding, of growing up and still needing mom and dad's help. It's a lot less scary to not try something, rather than to attempt it and fall flat on your face. At least that's how it was for me. Failure is a beast.
Keep up the craziness. Your husband is doing a fantastic job navigating his relationship w/ Ryan through the rocky waters.

Oh, and Quinn.........yeah, we don't quite get her, either. It seems likes she's hiding too much. We don't get how she landed on the show; before, everyone seemed connected to Jeana in some way. You were a natural replacement for Jo. But Quinn?? She's not as wild as the rest of you. Kind of boring. And we don't get what she sees in Billy. He's not good enough for her. My friend wants me to write that if the doctor told you to get some work done, he Must have told Quinn to. Isn't she in her fifties?
Take care of Jeana! Get her a nice man. She deserves that.

Tamra, I think that was very nice of you to say those things about Quinn. I don't think too many fans really like her, but it's only because she's new and people hate change. Ryan's tattoos are something he may always love. I myself have none, but my husband of seven and half years has many, many, many!!! It does not make him less of a person. People need to judge by the inside and not outer...they are likely to have more true friends that way.

You go girl...you definitely don't need a brow lift! Stick with the botox (and do that lightly) - you look fabulous for 40 and don't want to end up like some of the overly done ladies we see too often.

As for Simon, he obviously loves you very much and I am so impressed by the way he is trying to teach Ryan to be a responsible self-sufficient adult. It's nice to see more of you and Simon standing together as a couple with each episode.

You have become more likeable and impressive with each episode! I get a kick out of you

Dear Tamra,

I watch the show and can't get over how amazing women each and everyone of you are, loving and successful and smart. Brilliant women recognize brilliance and wit in other women, and we should not frown on success others have found, ( lauri), and we should stand behind those who have huge hearts and will power to work for there family (vicki). These women show that women can be succesfull in business and taken seriously. Lauri shows that life can change in an instant, good things come to good people, these are genuinely great women, a little more support then critical analysis on them would look better , good luck to you and your real estate career, which you can do, an do successfully without demeaning Gina who maybe has great insight to offer you. god bless her for having a strong heart and family. Good luck to all of you!

tamra,

you really are fast becoming my favorite housewife. i am 38 years old single with no children. but i am in a relationship and hopefully things will work out because i do love my man plus i want to have kids. so, i guess because we are closer in age, i can relate to you better than the other housewives. i never wanted to be single & childless, but if this is my situation so be it. i sense that you don't let anything stop you from pursuing your dream. especially, getting closer to 40, it just makes me reflect on what really matters. i feel its such a make or break time. you are really inspiring to me.

Hi Tamra,

I absolutely love you to death! I think that you are hysterical and love that you are a strong, independent and loving wife, mother and career woman. I also love that you look so darn good! I am 32 and had a couple of botox injections recently and just love it. I totally agree that being pulled and stuffed beyond recognition is heinous, however a little "freshen-up" is what we all need. :) I also love your sense of humor and love that you don't take yourself to seriously. Congratulations on all your success and good luck with Ryan. I have two little boys of my own and while there are days they make me want to pull my hair out, I know that be it 4 or 22 - they will always be my baby and I will do everything possible to help them. You are awesome!

Take care,
Catherine

Dear Tamra,
I watched your show in the beginning because my wife made me. It is hard to admit, but now I'm hooked. At first my wife amd I thought you were full of yourself. As the weeks went by, we grew to understand you. Is it part of your personality, right(Joking around)? We look forward to every Tueday now to see you. We also understand why your husband was the way he was in the begining. He actualy seems like a good guy. My wife says he never smiles though. That was very nice for him to offer Ryan to help with the rent. I hope he appreciates him. Have a great New Year. Francis and Gene

You remind me a lot of myself (not in looks, but in personality). You have a lot to give, but in social situations, you do not always say the right thing. I do exactly the same thing.

You mean well, but it sometimes does not come out right. And also, when you are around others (that you may not be comfortable with) the words come out definately wrong. You seem uncomfortable.

As far as your son goes, cut the cord! You are an enabler as long as you try to take care of him. He will never "get it". He has lived a great life due to you and Simon. Listen to Simon and let him live his own life. He may need to have about 5 roomates in order to pay his rent, but do not enable him to be a "bum" to you and Simon anymore!

Tamra,
At forty you think you need Botox? Give it another five years or so. Even celebrities like Nicole Kidman are showing signs of too much Botox. Don't ruin your face. It's pretty enough without it. As far as Ryan goes, I think Simon is amazingly patient with him. As his mother, you've done a great job, but Simon can see things you can't. I don't know many men who would pay rent like Simon is willing to do. You're lucky to have him.

Don't listen to that nitwit who suggested the forehead lift. Sheesh!
My only suggestion would be less dark eye makeup. You are young and pretty and athletic-looking -- I think you could go more "au naturel." That said, I know nothing about fashion or makeup...
When the season began, the whole "I'm the hottest housewife" thing was fairly obnoxious. But-- it worked, and we watched! As someone noted above, fans often dislike change (though I think removing Slade was a plus-- he's NOT a housewife!), but it's really been a lot of fun getting to know you and your family via the tv. Good luck!

I made a comment about Simon being an idiot for not liking Ryan early on in the posts. I now honestly have to say after watching Simon more I know that he is so in love with you that it's crazy and the fact that he wants to help Ryan on his rent when he moves out really shows that Simon cares about you both! I was wrong for attacking Simon, he's a great husband and step-father......

I was so happy to see you and your husband agree, it was time for the spoiled little boy to move on into his own place. It is always on purpose, when he does the stupid things, like tatoos and 400. jeans. All he appears to want is a rise out of your husband. The deal he is getting is great and most kids would jump at it. I hope you keep encouraging him to make this move for himself and for growing up process. He has the ability to be a fine young man. He knows and you do too. I truly believe that is why Simon is so willing to help him.
I did not know if I would enjoy watching you, this season. I have and I hope you will be coming back a little wiser and a little smarter. You blew me away, when you went public with the true reason for the boob job. Your honesty was refreshing. You do not need to be in pain to sell anything, your personality and aggressive selling nature will do the job.

Hi Tamra, I've posted before that I have a son like Ryan, so thank you for the update on his job at Fletcher Jones. And he's got a SECOND job -- that's fantastic! Sounds like he's maturing.

Forehead lift for you? That was the most RIDICULOUS thing I ever heard. I don't even see a line on your forehead. I did not notice your breast reduction on this week's episode, so either they don't look smaller, or that show was taped before the reduction...? As far as the Botox goes, I can't tell that you've had it, but it IS obvious on some women. One of your fellow wives, for example, whose mouth doesn't move when she speaks. Or Nicole Kidman with the bat-brow. PLEASE don't go that far!

Your comments on Quinn were a bit catty but they were funny and TRUE. She looks like Jared's MOTHER, for goodness' sake. She looks matronly with that cleavage. I was hysterical when you made that comment at the restaurant!

Love the show!

Get your 21 year old son out of the house if want to keep your husband. Time for son to grow up and you to appreciate a man who would tolerate a camera in his private life.

You guys seem to enjoy your lifestyle, and, yes, I'd try it in a minute! Give that lifestyle and I'd be traveling and shopping!

You look great for your age...and I do for mine...so good for you! It can be done, even if you aren't rich.

Tamara, I so feel for you with the Ryan situation. I have the same situation at my house. It breaks my heart, and I always feel pulled between right, wrong and between my husband and my child. But...enough about me. I can just really relate, and I know that your husband loves you very much, and is very tolerant. Your son just seems a little insecure, and age tends to change people, but you do have to set them free to make that happen. Just listen to your heart and listen to your husband. He is very smart. So is Ryan (he knows exactly how to handle you to get his way). I was a stepchild, you just always feel sort of left out until you grow up, get married and see how fallible relationships and people are in general are. He will appreciate you one day if you don't give in to his every whim. Life's just not fair. He'll realize and appreciate that one day too, but a good way around that is making him count his blessings every time he makes you feel like you are leaving him out. Don't accept the negatives-it's just manipulation. Show him all of the people in life who are handicapped, then ask him why you should feel sorry for him. I hope that makes sense, but I grew up without a mom, and evertime I felt sorry for myself, my dad made me come to a screaching halt and start counting my blessings. That is still his motto, and it's a good one to live by. Teenagers can find that achilles heal fast can't they?

I live in Ladera and know that Covenant Hills is a community clubhouse, open to all residents. Not a "Country Club" as you keep referring it to be! Every time I hear you say it, it makes me laugh!!! But I guess the image you are trying to portray is more than what "reality" is!

Tamra,

I don't know if you girls realize it or not but, when you get Botox injections that immobilizes your muscles. Your muscles atrophied after 3 days. One of these days your face is going to really age fast from the lack of using your muscles. This is something for you to think about. If you worry that you look bad at 4o wait until your 50 with a saggy face!

I love the show. Tamra, you are a very strong woman and it's not a natural thing to "let go" of your child as a mother but you and Simon are absolutely right in gently forcing your son to move on and get his own life. You are doing the right thing, and with no offense to Ryan, it is time to move on and up. No one starts out in the middle unless you are an heiress. Even those children who are fortunate enough to have more comforts still need to prove themselves in their own right. Having money available to you doesn't give you personal character or fortitude and $400 jeans will not get you the respect you have to earn - in the end, their still denim. Stick to your guns, Tamra, Ryan will thank you for it later.
