Season 4
Season 3
I have so many emotions running through me after watching this week's episode. To be honest, when I first began this Housewives experience, I thought I would be the girl who didn't argue with anyone in our group. I truly thought I would be the peacemaker; the one who tried to put fires out. But after a summer with Vicki, I have to say, I was wrong! It honestly takes a lot to get me angry. As you can tell by the fight with Vicki at Watermark, even then I threw in the towel and bit my tongue. At that point, I was trying to salvage any chance at a friendship that there could be. Now, after eight months of filming and events, all I can say is just wait for the reunion show! At the reunion show, I didn't bite my tongue anymore because Vicki had already called me so many names. At the reunion show it was time for me to stand my ground. In San Fransisco, however, I was not even angry yet. At that point, it was simply communication. I was only trying to make a point, to tell her I was tired of endless badgering, but Vicki is impossible to talk to unless you are only LISTENING in the conversation. I know Vicki is claiming that I was wrong to address my issues with her at the lunch table, however, I refused to talk about it THREE TIMES. I even said that I thought we should discuss it later. Vicki was the one who would not allow the conversation to end, which is evident by her statement, "Bring it on!" What ceases to amaze me is that SHE demanded to talk about it, yet she could not finish what she started ... and had to run out of the restaurant crying instead. Point made.
I also know Vicki called me a hypocrite because I prayed for her daughter, Briana, after fighting with Vicki. I told the ladies, "This is silly. This fighting isn't what life is about ... Life is about family. Briana is here, stuck in the middle of all of this, and SHE is what matters. I want to pray for her." So, I prayed for her. And in my opinion, there is NEVER a wrong time to pray. God hears you at all times, and prayers are answered. If that makes me a hypocrite, so be it. I'd rather be a praying hypocrite than a non-praying socialite.
As for Tamra being caught in the middle, never in a million years was I trying to drag Tamra into the middle of this argument and turn her against Vicki. As you all saw, Tamra mentioned numerous times she was tired of Vicki talking to us the way she did. I simply made Tamra accountable for what she had said. I know Tamra says she is friends with Vicki, and I will never stand in the way of that. However, I will hold you accountable for what you tell me.
I think that I don't matter if Vicky is wrong or right, you know that at d end of d day God is going to judge you, we all need to ask ourselves in any situation we are in, "what would Jesus do?"
Nice site ! I will mark it in my favorites. thxx
Thanks for just about any great reveal you have supplied to us with this type of an large assortment of information. superb purpose you have achieved by sharing them to all. merely superb.
Ues, but not everthing black and white, something is gray :)

Thanks, nice post. Keep up the good work
You are by far the hottest and sexiest housewife of OC.
I was first taken by your faith, but confused by some other things in your life that seem to not reconcile with someone who speaks of their convictions. I appreciate that you live your life to the fullest as I truly believe that is God's plan for all of us, but sometimes I feel like you should go back to Sunday School and listen. One of our first Sunday School lessons was to Stop, Look and Listen. I see you doing that a lot, but I also see you try to forge ahead (may be for the sake of creating a situation of entertainment), but you seem to start to stumble and the clarity is lost. I have always believed that you can best see the faults of others that you know you possess so I'm not pointing fingers. I'm recognizing my own weaknesses.
You and I should put Corinthinians 1:13 by our make-up tables and recite it until we know it by heart. If you think it, you'll say it. If you say it enough, it will be a habit. If it's a good habit, it's a good destiny.
Lov ya Girl.

Vicki is jealous when it comes to women who are prettier or richer than her. She hides behind her work. She has the ability to dish harsh words out but simply can not take them.
Well you were a nice refreshing addition to the show. I am so glad you stood up to Vicki. She needs it and the only reason she ran out of the restaurant and said it wasn't fun any more is because someone finally recognized and called her out for who she really is. A hurtful, self-centered, spiteful wannabe who finds fault with everyone who doesn't act or think like she does.
On another note I am happy that it seems Gretchen has a friend in you. Please be a true friend. She has been treated shabbily by most. The reason of course is jealousy. You don't have anything to be jealous of and you have a warm heart so I hope both of you will end up being life long friends.
I wish and your family luck and I hope it will be "fun" for you.
I was really impressed by how you expressed your life as being a firm christian. But I was upset by your behaviors towards the other girls from the show especially Vicky. You say the tongue is a flame of fire. I know you mean well but you talking about Vicky's behavior and responses towards you, isnt that the same thing as judging someone? I know not everyone is perfect, not even you. But I just hope and pray that you understand where i'm comming from and dont take this wrong. If u like, I hope that you can visit my church in San Diego, thee 1st samoan assembly of God. The Worship and Prayer was very similar and modern to the type of church that I go to. God Bless and I will keep you in prayer. II Peter chapter 1, verse 5 "make every effort"
I think you bahaved beautifully at the Reunion. You didn't attack anyone; you just quietly and articulately explained your feelings about what went on throughout the season. I hope you feel proud of yourself and will blog about the Reunion. Take care.
My friends and I watch the show and all think you have been a breath of fresh air. I respect the fact that you don't resort to name calling or criticism like Vicki and Tamra. I was glad that you finally were able to address Vicki and TRY to communicate with her regarding her abrasive and inappropriate behavior. In the previous seasons, it seemed like everyone was too afraid to call her out. They let her walk all over them and cowered down to her. Good for you for standing up for what you beleive in. If Vicki feels like you are portraying yourself as better than her then that it is her own insecurities. You never once claimed to be better than anyone rather hold yourself with a level of class and respect.
Also, I don't think your husband is controlling. I have never once seen him tell you what to do. You both have a mutual respect for each other and if you both choose not to travel without each other and it works for you than good for you. Each couple has to do what works for them. We are not all cookie cutters and every relationship differs and you have to do what works and makes you both happy. Who is anyone else to judge?
Alexis!
I am watching the replay of the reunion.
PLEASE, don't get your nose done. I know I heard one jealous girl say something and no doubt others have, that's what they do.
I am also a Christian who is a regular, modern woman; just b/c they have no relationship with Him and don't understand, don't let it effect you.
You always look like this beautiful Grecian princess, don't change a thing.
You are a tough but classy lady and even though in reality we are different, I really respect you.

Alexis
instead of constantly worrying about trying to fix other people's lives and better their character, why don't you look in the mirror. You said it yourself, I came in thinking I could be the peacemaker. The best lesson I have ever learned was you don't always have to talk. Sometimes it is better to listen instead of trying to force out every life lesson from your vast wealth of knowledge (sarcasm, just to verify). Look this one up in Proverbs: in life it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
It saddens me that you don't see the hypocricy in praying over someone's daughter after attacking her mother. I don't know anyone who would do what you did. Making the excuse that Vickie pressed you into an arguement is no excuse for a grown woman to use. Don't hide behind your Christian faith. That was truely a dreadful moment of unkindness. I don't believe that Vickie is perfect in any way, but to attack her in front of her child, who had concerns that she might have cancer, was an unbelievable thing to do.
Alexis, As the mother of eight and a christian, I feel I need to encourage you, Keep your faith strong and remember you are different than the other woman. I know it is hard but sometimes we have to rise above others by being a quiet example. You are refreshing on the show keep up the good work and as someone who has been married 25 years, had three children and adopted 5 more, always keep your marriage first following God's plan will never fail you. Linda
After watching this season the show was alot better before you came on it. You think you are so much better than everybody and yet you pretend to be a christian person. When you always spoke about being a mother and what a hard job it is that is true I am a mother but I think I only saw you with your kids once or twice the whole season. I know that I always choose to be with my children before anything else but apparetnly you would rather work out and go tanning etc. how ever many hours a day that takes than be with your children. Also regarding the trip that Vicki Planned why was it ok to go on a girls weekend alone when Tamara planned it but when Vicki planned it all the husband had to ruin it. Supposably you never travel alone that was the reason but that was not true becuase when the next trip came up it was a different set of rules. I think you just did it to be mean.
Alexis, first of all you are so very beautiful! The most beautiful of all on all reality shows! You and Jim have such a different perspective on life compared to the other OC Housewives. I hope they are paying you a lot of money to be on the show because if they are not you need to resign. You and Jim seem to have a stable, structured, wholesome life without all of the drama. Run if you can....Tina, VA
I totally agree with "Show-Me" Girl's comments...you won't last long on the show.
Alexis,
I was very impressed that you held true to your Christian values on a this show. Really you didn't have a chance with Vicki, she's the cause of most of the drama between the women. Vicki is mean, thinks she is better than the other women because she has a desk job. Keep your head up and be the person God created you to be! You showed the most class this season!
I also would love to know about that black & white dress you wore on the finale. It's very hard for me to find dresses I like or that look good on me and I think that one is too cute.
I would also love to know where you got the dress you wore at the finale. It was gorgeous.
Hello Alexis, you have worn a Dress in one episode when you were out to Dinner with your Husband on a weekend away, The Dress was white with Pink floral print and Bell sleeve. who designed it and where could it be purchased?
Wow. The comment made by "God's Love" on 03/07/10...wow. You really told the truth. "... Show kindness in face of adversity, show love when none is shown to you. THEN the world can see the difference God makes." that was awesome.
I have watched this show since it started, and I think you will end up like "Jo"-- off the show. You don't fit in with the others and I feel you are just there to "stir the pot"(clean version). I really hope Vicky stays with the show and puts you in your place.
Alexis - rather than consulting your therapist and pastor (although I'm sure they mean well), how about consulting the greatest source for advice - your Bible and talking to God. God was faced with far worse than a few names from Vicki and handled it by giving his life for those very people who mocked him. No matter how you look at it or justify it, if it is your goal to be a witness for God, you need to show that you are DIFFERENT than the other women who may not have a personal relationship with God. So far, I see no difference except in your proclamations and that, my friend, does not a Christian make. Don't justify your behaviour, change it. Show kindness in face of adversity, show love when none is shown to you. THEN the world can see the difference God makes.
Hello Alexis!
Love the show, never miss an episode- can't wait for the reunion!
I am too a lover of that off the shoulder black and white dress you wore for the finale. It looked fabulous on you! Could you tell me where I may be able to find it and who designed it? Thanks
Hello, Be quiet in your faith. Go on a retreat, and find yourself. People will know your as a Christian woman by the way you live your life and the way you treat others.
Please, please, please let us know where you got your finale party dress!!! I'm begging!!!!
As many other fans, I would love to find the black and white off the shoulder dress worn in the most recent episode. That was stunning! Could someone please let me know how to find it. Thanks so much.
Love to know where you got the dress you wore on the finale. Totally a cute dress. Thanks.
Hi Alexis! I absolutely loved the pearl earrings you wore episode 12 at dinner with all the ladies!!! Would love to know where I can find them.
My wife is a avid watcher of all the Housewive shows and showed me a black and white off the shoulder dress you wore in the most recent one. Can I ask who makes it?
Thanks so much,
A Man Trying To Keep His Women Happy...
I think you are on the right path, Don't stop, you rock, and way to go!
I think if you are going to announce the big Christian thing, you should make sure that you do not make yourself look a fool. Didn't it say in the bible for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church? Having Jim making a mockery of his wife on national television to make himself look big was awful to watch. This is a man that will leave his wife when she starts to fade in the looks department. There is something that is just too superficial about both of them that just angers me. Do not be hypocrites, be the socialites you so badly with to wish to be. Having a husband treat you like you are beneath him, announcing the price of things and the way he is not a hands on dad is awful to watch in this era when domestic abuse takes many forms. I really wish that God would show your family that you need to spend more time together shopping, hiring new nanny's (can you imagine how the stories they could tell about that Christian family? Now that would be good television.) Please, just graciously leave this show.
Just saw the last show.
You should have helped your mother tone down that makeup
You are beautiful with a great body- but really, you can be so abrasive and think you are all that. I know Vicki has a hard time dishing it but it's like you are out to prove something this year being the new kid on the block. I'm a Christian and I do not preach to people like you and Jim all the time. You are trying to hard.
Bring back the old OC housewives.
Bring back Laurie!! She is fun and classy! You and your husband are all about looking down on people, that's how it appears anyway. And if you say it's editing then don't do the show anymore because it's not making you and he look good at all!! The show went downhill this season, oddly enough the season you joined...hmmm coincidence?
alexis.it is me again.you are my fav from orange county.do not let vicki get your goat.she does this to every new housewife.you are allowed to stand up for your self.have a great year ahead i will pray for you and your family.bevy!
Hello,
just a heads up those were flamigos NOT SWANS. when u and jim were on ur little getaway. just wanted to say that
Oh, for crying out loud, Alexis isn't being held to scrutiny because she's a Christian! Give me a break. She's being picked on because of how she behaves, and for being shallow and self-important. That she says she Christian just makes us all go "huh???...what's wrong with this picture?" because it it is so contrary. I think it's pretty weird that so many of you "christians" think she's so amazing when she hasn't done anything except say she's Christian, appear in church, and have her pastor over for breakfast. Yet she and Jim are "amazing"? Geez, pretty scarey! Are good rolls models such slim pickens?
Does Jim know what a SWAN looks like?????
because in the episode where alexis and jim go on their getaway thats what he called them SWANS. hes soo smart.....lol
Wow, Norcal Girl - it's like you were channeling my thoughts exactly.
Wow.... Alexis -- I'm an original fan of the housewives. I'm just not that impressed with your character. I'm thinking maybe your character just does not fit in with the other ladies. Now, I'm a born again, toung talking, saved Christian, and I'm not sure why I don't feel your authinticity. It just does not come off as real. Everyone has their own personal realationship with Christ. But a true Christian is a whole lot more humble and less judgemental. The perfection thing is a turn off too - I just like to see a Christian who keeps it REAL!!!
ok somebody please help!!!! Are we watching the same show all these posts about how she handled herself well, ummm how many times did I see her husband seem controling and insincere then Alexis lashes out... Can anyone say projecting. Team Vicki all the way...
I realy need that dress you have on in the fonale PLEASE TELL US!!!!!!!!! :) xo
Alexis, your grammar is awful, really bad. And, you have the worst table manners. Your handling of your utensils is wrong. Sorry! You need a cotillion class. And, no matter what any one else does, the table is NOT the place for a phone. Step outside please.
Your faith is clearly important to you, but your style of dressing is crying out for male attention, which is not consistent with your talk. You can dress like that for your husband, but not for the world. My Priest would have never gone on TV, I wonder why your minister would. You asked him over for his advice, and you and your husband did all the talking.
