Let's get straight to the drama!

When Kelly was talking to Ramona about Simon, I thought 'Kelly, you are 100% right!' I learned my lesson after last season, it is better to take the high road and ignore the bullshit. It isn't always easy, especially for someone like Ramona or myself, but ultimately it is the best way. I thought her advice was sound. I thought maybe I was wrong about Kelly. Have I judged her too harshly?

But then Kelly showed the world she is nuts! Is this woman bipolar, possessed, or just flat out delusional? She invites B to have a drink, walks in 30 minutes late, then throws out self-absorbed comments like, "too bad...you need a time out...your attitude is for kids...I'm up here and you're down there." I think at that point, I would have gotten up and walked away. I was shocked at some of the comments she made. I especially like when she told B, "Your attitude is for kids." She then went on to say, "If you want to play with me, you have to come to my level." Is she in kindergarten? Did this girl check her brain at the door before she walked in?

As I was watching Kelly speak, I thought to myself, why do her eyes shift back and forth? I was expecting her head to start spinning.

Tamra, you are hysterical! Love your blog. You are so right about everyone (almost) especially Kelly. Is this whacko stoned, bipolar, mentally impaired or what? She acts and speaks like a 2 year old, WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? HIIIIIIIIIII YI YI. What a dimwit. I would feel sorry for her but she is so in love with herself that she makes me sick.

Tamara, you are a very good writer. I read the blogs becuase its fun and makes me laugh. I do not know where you went to college, but if that Kelly from NYC says she went to Columbia. I read hers blogs and I am embarrassed for her and what she writes; structure etc. oh and the way she speaks, no way! She calls herself a writer???? Shes horrible!
I came to your blog and read what you had to say, you are by far the best writer on these sites. I am proud of you, even though I don't think you should have gotten Gretchen drunk...I am sure you will never do it again. good Luck to you and your family. If slade comes on the show I will have to saygood bye....he's Gross!

You're right. Jill IS Bravo Royalty. But I'm beginning to think she is more of a diva than we are admitting. Chill, Jill!

HAHA! I love it! Tamra, I LOVED you from the beginning. I was a little disappointed this past season of the OC though! You're a beautiful woman. Take the high road. I love you! Your blog about the NYC cast is HILARIOUS. I couldn't have said anything better myself if I tried!!!

You are so funny and on the mark with this one. I could not believe that Bethenny did not get up and leave after she made the comment we will never be friends. I would have said OK ..see ya.

She is straight forward and says what she thinks. I admire that in a woman. Looking forward to another season with her in it. The producers and editors have her pegged right on target. Good for her.

Tamra.. give us the scoop on the next OC cast... come on.. Please tell us that Greedy/Fake Gretchen is gone?? You, NeNe, Bethenny, and Jill, should do your own show!!! "The Kick Butt" Housewives..

Not a big fan of any of you self-possessed women, but I must say that was a pretty funny blog. You have captured Kelly's conversation with Max to a T! All you need to add is the perpetual open-mouthed, teeth-flashing, scary smile-while-speaking move. Very entertaining! And I'm just so glad to read something other than another one of Bethenny's self-indulgent crapfests that pass for Blogs. So sick of her unfunny, incessant one-liners I could scream.

Tamra,

GREAT COMMENT ABOUT KELLY CHECKING HER BRAIN AT THE DOOR. That was hilarious. You are very witty. I was not sure how to feel about you on the OC show at times, but great to appreciate your honesty. I really enjoy your wit and you seem to have a fun marriage compared to the others. Keep up the great comments and good luck on Season Five of OC!!

Tamra,
I think you are a nice lady who loves her family and that is great. However next season can you please not be so 2 faced. I think the way you treated Gretchen was wrong. For someone who was judged so harshly I would have expected more from you. Somethings are better left unsaid sometimes.

Have never watched your show. Too blonde, too shiney, too many teeth too phoney and bad clothes. After reading your blog I find myself taking a second look at the assumptions I made. You are FUNNY and insightful and smart! I won't judge a housewife by her hair color ever again.

Hey Tamara

You were really my favorite housewife untill this last season you really let me down by the way you treated Gretchen I thought you were a class act and you let me down with the caddyness with here especially when you brought your son into it obviously we did not see everything but I really lost alot of respect for you and viki both you new what it was like to be the new girl viki is just a rude classless woman I see why her kids want far far away any way I think your great just cut Gretchan a little slack...

I totally agree with you! I mean who is Kelly anyway?? I def. have never seen her before so she can't be too famous. She needs a serious reality check because she was def. the one who looked like the child and I am embarrassed for her! Loved your comment, you are my favorite housewife!!

Tamraaaa!!!

You know it all! God you are so funny, it`s like you`re here watching in my living room and making all those funny comments. I have to say, you grew so much in the picture, and after the last season i saw a totally diferent side of you. I have a lot of respect for you, as a mom with your struggles with your son; with your husband that IS the real deal; and especially wiht your dad. Beign a child of parents that got divorced when I was 21 years old, like you said, it hurts as much as when you`re little. That day, but the lake, when you spoke to your dad, I cried with you. I know exactly what kind of pain is that and could totally relate to you.
Hope all is well and that you keep on rocking Orange County!
God Bless!

Tamra,

I loved the OC show this past Season, you definitely bring an edge to the show that made it more interesting and exciting. You are 100 percent right about Kelly. I love the NYC show and Jill along with Bethenny are great. Kelly was CRAZY, I could not believe the way she was talking to Bethenny and bragging on herself. She is a nobody, I had never heard of her until this season. She really showed the World that she is a self-absorbed idiot that does not even deserve the attention she gets because of her looks.

Good luck with the next OC Season....

Tamra you are a joy & compliment the show! Truly painful watching immature K try & dismiss B. Kelly can give advice, but not follow it? Honestly Kelly, reach out & apologize to Bethany right away. You were the narcisist at the charity mtg, even Countess Oleska was appalled. Ignore any nasty posts others have left, they are - to quote Kim and Sheree - haters. Scram, haters! This is fun, go watch to PBS! :)

Hi Tamra,

I used to think you and Vicki were mean and didn't understand all of your accusations at the reunion. I recently met a friend of Jay's and got the whole story. For the most part you were right on. Gretchen was spending days in the hospital with Jeff and nights with Jay. You could tell something was up when she kept changing her answer he went from a stalker to an aquaintance to a family friend on vacation with her. Sorry I doubted you.

Tamra,

Thanks for your honest take on the situation. My instant impression was that Mario was a bit drunk, and waaaay out of line with Jill. If I were her husband I wouldn't have let him get another word in after that first tirade, but I guess Mario is a pacifist. I'm glad you exposed Gretchen for the fake biotch that she obviously is. She crumpled in that reunion show and you could tell by watching her eyes and body language that she was lying. Keep staying true to yourself and telling it like it is!

Tamra,
You're my abs fav! I find that you and I think a lot alike. My husband always says that you and I act the same when he's watching your show. I agree with everything you said above. Kelly did go psycho. she was a little shy on her first episode, but then all of a sudden, the crazy woman jumped out of her skin. can't wait for the next season of O.C. hope all is well.

Tamra I love your blog. I read Bethanny's faithfully but stumbled upon yours and ...love it! You are too funny... and weird how you write everything I am thinking during the show! You and Bethanny are definetly my favorites and I would love to see a show with both of you! Any chance for a bi-coastal Real housewives?! We could eliminate Krazy Kelly and Wackdoo Silex and replace them with Tamra and Jeanna. I would even watch the commercials on that one!
