I don't know why it drives me so crazy, but whether it is watching Alex and Simon from my show or Tamra and Simon on Orange County, I just find it ironic for people to buy all of these expensive clothes and hang them on wire hangers. It's a pet peeve, I know I need therapy, but please, no more wire hangers. Also, Tamra's closet was a total mess. I just want to come over and sort through everything. Tamra is fun though and she's good television. She and her husband respect each other, which doesn't seem to be a recurring theme on this show. I think Jeana looks very pretty and seems a bit nicer and calmer this season. I cannot get over an 8k bed. It cost me 10k to redo my entire (yet small) one bedroom apartment.

Why am I not comfortable with this whole Gretchen character? She is saccharin sweet and honestly a bit annoying with her giggling Chrissy from Three's Company personality. I still don't like Jeff running around to racetracks with a camera crew when he should be in bed resting. Again, I can handle a sugar daddy story, but not with a subplot of an illness. This whole thing seems inauthentic and I'm not buying it. She has my favorite token French manicure, which I'm going to have to get used to. I'm sure I'm the one who is out of style. Gretchen mentioned that Jeff likes that everyone is looking at his girl. Please gag me with a pitchfork. I'm also never a fan of the token carriage ride, but it was sweet that she said she's always fixing him. Something here just seems forced and makes me utterly uncomfortable. Is it me?

Poor Vicki and Don. There are many risks when airing a relationship on television. My problem isn't that they have marital issues, but that they make those around them uncomfortable with comments about their relationship ("if we make it") and their constant bickering. It wasn't fair to Tamra and Simon who were trying to enjoy their anniversary in Napa. Vicki looks like the bad guy and nag (and maybe she is), but I think that this is a chicken and egg situation. She is starving for love and affection so now she is lashing out and being negative as a last resort. Their relationship is in a vicious cycle and needs a serious overhaul. It's like decay and it only gets worse.
