Is there going to be a season 5 and if there is when will it begin

Hi Gretchen,
I want to let you know that I know from experience how hard it is when someone we love has terminal cancer. I totally understand why you went and spent time away from the hospital, and I know Jeff understood as well. From watching the show I realize that you handled everything that was going on with grace and the utmost of respect for Jeff and his children. Anyone who says different has not walk in your shoes and should never be taken seriously. Best of luck in the new season.

I'm sorry for your loss. In whatever capacity you were there for Jeff it must have been a very trying time. All the best to you!

i want to no when the next season of the house wives of orange county is comming on thats the best house wives series yet lets hurry up i am dying to see it i miss it badly!!!

Omg!! Watching you on the show is the only interesting topic that makes the show worth watching. The other housewives are pretty much boring!! I was really sad when I seen the episode of Jeff's passing, I'm very sorry. You are a very beautiful and funny person and I love your laugh!! Everything about you is amazing and that's why the other's treat you the way they do. I hope to see you on the next season!! Take care and God bless you.

I am in Australia and season 4 has just finished airing and we have just met the beautiful Gretchen. I think you are a real crack up and you are such a laugh. Its a pity the others don't have your fun loving sense of humour and you fantastic outlook on life.

And you are totally gorgeous as well. Gretchen girl, you are the complete package!!

Gretchen, I felt sorry for you when I learned Jeff passed away. But those two little hussies Vicky & Tamara were aweful. Vicky should be ashamed of herself. She gets no prize for the may she treats her husband (and her kids). But Tamara has to be jealous and Vicky too. You get a high 69% for the hottest OC wife. I voted for you too. When you walk into the room it lights up and those itches know it. You're sexy, smart, fun, and funny. Be yourself. Don't worry about what others say. Especially those has-been OC wives. Keep it up. Congratulations on being on the show. I love it. I watch all the time. And yes Tamara tried to set you up. Watch her. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Sorry about Jeff. At least you still have him near and dear to your heart. Look forward to seeing you again on the show Gretch!! Bye for now. A fan for life.

Gretchen, girl, you are definitely my favorite!!!! You are the sweetest, and most caring of them all! No matter what happened to your in your life, you always have a positive outlook. You never talked garbage about the other girls like they have about you. It just goes to show you are a strong and very mature person! Sorry for your loss of Jeff. And you are the hottest housewife by far!!!!!

hi gretchen,

sorry about your loss. i think your a great person. and hope to see your show soon again i started watching it when you and lynn joined the show. your personality is great. vicki is so full of herself. i cannot stand vicki!!!

This is the first time I've ever blogged and you are the one that has inspired me to get involved in giving my opinion. You were always my favorite, you've always come across as sweet and loving. I'm so sorry about the loss of you love, Jeff. At first I really liked Tamara but after the episodes, Tamara has come across as a very mean spirited woman. This is the first I had heard that you will not be returning to the series, I hope you reconsider as I was looking forward to the new series. Now, I'm just not interested. Poor Lynne I think they will eat sweet Lynne for lunch. It's like you two being in a fish tank filled with sharks!

Good luck with your life, I wish you well.

Gretchen, I was so sad to hear about Jeff. I am sorry for your loss. I was just wondering what you are doing now and how the show has impacted your life. I am from a small town in Texas and I think that it is very important to remember who you are at all times. I think that Vicki and Tamera are both very hateful and spiteful and they have both forgotten where they came from. Have you forgotten where you come from has the show made you a person that you are not? I really love you and Jeanna and Lynne. You guys seem the most real to me and I can relate to you 3 better than any of the others. Lauri, is the one that I liked to begin with but, she sure has become a different person since she found her man. She has truly become someone she's not. I miss the show and hope that it will come back on later. Good luck with all your future endeavors. Amie - Nacogdoches, Texas

Gretchen,
First, I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost my wonderful man a year and a half ago, after a long illness. We had 16 1/2 yrs. together and I miss him every minute of everyday. Vicki and Tamera are just witches I can't stand either one of them. Vicki could not do for her husband what you did for Jeff. And Tamera she's just a B___h! Your an awesome beatiful (inside and out) woman. Vicki's nose is so far in the air she looks like a stuffed pig! God Bless you and your wonderful family, I hope to see more of you and less of them. Their just nasty uncompassionate B___hes!
Good Luck with what ever you do and God Bless You!

Gretchen-

I just want to say that you are a beautiful woman. I admire you like you wouldn't beilieve. Your so sweet and outgoing. You are my fashion idol as well! You never look bad!I am so sorry for your loss. You are so strong and independent, so I know you'll make it just fine! When are the OC Howsewives going to be back on again?! I miss you and everyone else!

P.S.- You wear the most fabulous clothes! I have bought many imitations of your clothes. Bravo should disclose the designers' names- that would be good publicity for them! :)

However, In Episode 6, you had a white top that went off your shoulders that I am in love with. In the photo gallery, you can see it in pictures 11 and 18 out of the 24. Would you mind telling me the brand/ designer and where you got it please? I would really appreciate it!

Hi Gretchen,
the season just aired here in Australia and I wanted to say you are an inspiration and that I'm sorry for your loss. I have always had a stigma about beautiful, well to do women and that they hold this bitchy attitude towards people below their class and I was gladly proved wrong with watching you; you are stunning and humble and compassionate. I think its safe to say you are an inspiration and Australia has fallen in love with you. xox

You are one of my favorites by far however how can you go from such a great guy like jeff (sorry for your loss) to such a weasel like slade. He s such a creep. You can do soooooo much better.

Gretchen, I am sorry for your loss hun, I really do love you I think you have such grace about you. I live in Australia so I have only just viewed the episode with you and Ryan, but not only that night all the way through the show so far I am utterly disgusted by the way Tamra has behaved. For a grown woman and mother she really needs to grow up and set a better example for her children, cause right now she isn't teaching them very good values at all. Her whole attitude is pathetic. I hope good things come to you in the future hun you really do deserve it. Take care.

Gretchen,

I am a wife, mother, and a career woman, and I have always loved the RHO. However, the minute I saw you on the screen I fell in love with you. I love your sense of fashion, your hair, and of course all of the "bling bling." I am not a lesbian, but you have made me have so untoward thoughts about you. I have been watching the RHN, and I'm simply unmoved. I can't wait for you to come back on the screen.

Gretchen,
You are my favorite housewife. I feel we have many things in common. I am currently dating a man that is 18 years older than myself and he is wealthy. It is difficult when people think you are dating someone for there money. I am also in my early 30's and blonde and attractive. People say nasty things because they are jealous that they are not blonde and beautiful and outgoing. People have to be nasty to others because they are unhappy themselves and feel the need to try and make others unhappy.
Tamra is very mean and needs to take a step back and look in the mirror she is not all that!She is just jealous. Hang in there!

I wanted to tell you how sorry I am that Jeff passed and express my empathy at getting through this past year with the stress and grief filled roller coaster dominating your life. It was frustrating watching the other housewives try to tell you how to feel when none of them could put themselves in your shoes. I know what its like to try to live your life with a smile while dealing with unbelievable pain, and you did it on TV.
I just wanted to say that I hate what editing tries to do to you on the show. I think perhaps because you look like the most likely candidate (being vivacious, young, and beautiful) for gold digging bimbo they try to shave footage to do it. Really the only thing it accomplishes is casting the other housewives as catty B******. Despite it all I think you still come across as the most genuine of all the housewives. You seem so grounded, honest, genuinely caring and full of life. Hooray for the most "Real" housewife of the bunch.
Stay strong.

Gretchen, You're the reason I'll watch RHOC another season. You're real. You're so much fun to watch. You're a true friend to Lynne, whom I think is wonderful as well. I hope Vicki eats herself into oblivion and I hope Tamra drinks herself into Rehab.

I LOVE YOU!!! I am so proud of your confidence!!

I would love advice on how you keep so positive!
You really are one of the most honest people ever!

BTW...you are the HOTTEST HOUSEWIFE OF ORANGE COUNTY!

Tamra needs prayer!!!! <-----she is hurtful in so maky way to you, and for that im sorry!

I was also sorry for your loss of your Jeff!! He really loved you and it was real!!

Happy Days.... Richelle

p.s. could i get your workout plans? and what you eat??

O^O love you baby doll!!

Hello, Gretchen.

My favorite. You are so lovely and you know it. Perfect. Jeff was a grown up and enjoyed having you in his life, as I would have. You can feel good about that, and enjoy any gifts he chose to give you.

At the A-List fashion show why didn't you select a dress like that you wore to Tamara's drunk along. My GOD! perfect style for you and you wore it stunningly. You would have won the vote hands down. As it was, I voted for Bethanny who wore a hot little number.

Just one question: Slade?????? I guess he has money but letting him climb on top of you is gagging. Look what he lusted after before you and would have accepted had she agreed. Find better, move on.

Gretchen. I loved you!!! You have had a rough season and I'm deeply sorry about Jeff. However, my heart goes out to you because not only were you going through something so traumatic you didn't have a support system of friends that you needed. Tamara and Vicki should have put aside their differences and helped you instead of trying to destroy you. I'm positive it's just because they envy you. They bitter old women and you're the life of the party!! I can only hope you know how wonderful your personality and soul is. It's something rare and people don't know what to do when they see someone who is good instead full of evil. It does however, show you their character and probably hit on a few things they did in their past. Take care girl!! College girls from the south look up to you and we wear our high heels to class!! LOL!

Gretchen,

You are my favorite housewife!!! You are so sexy and confident and you don't let other housewives bring you down with all their jealousy and drama (especially Tamara who is just plain mean). You seem genuine and you totally rock!!!

Gretchen, you are a real lady so stunning! sorry for your loss of Jeff. I got upset with Tamara and Vicky planning to get on getting you drunk how stupid and mean spirit was that. Tamara is jealous and an insecure woman. All Tamara knows is to increase her bust size so absurd! Gretchen do not become like the others to increase your bust size your are perfect and natural stay that way! Remember, The more they increase their bust size the more their IQ drops.

Gretchen,
I just have to say you and Slade are adorable. He seems like such a decent person and Jo walked all over him and then did a show about it! I will never understand that.
Good luck and hope to see you next season.
Gretchen

Gretchen Fan in Champaign-

You were absolutely beautiful at the A-List Awards! You were smoking hot!!!! I bet Tamra and Vicki were crapping their undies when they saw how hot you were! I see little Ms. Vicki has packed on the pounds!!! You and Slade are a stunning couple. He seems like a really down to earth guy and hot looking as well! You deserve to be happy and I hope the two of you really LAST!!!!

My daughter sends her love! Keep up with your blogs please we want to hear from you!

Do you looove Shanna Moakler or what? In your face Tamra!! HAHA

You remind me a lot of myself. I am currently in a relationship with a man 15 years older than me and my x-husband was 7 years older than me. Basically I have always dated older men. I got so tired of the comments that were made because of the age difference of you and Jeff. I also got tired of the comments on the relationship in general. Whose business is it on why the two of you were together? Jeff did not seem like an ignorant man....he was with you for one reason or another, and if he was happy then that is all that matters.
By the way.....I want your wardrobe!!! : D I too LOVE dresses and I think I loved everyone that you put on, especially the red one you wore to Tamra's "oh-so-elegant" dinner!!

Has anyone else watched Real sex 18 on HBO, the character anna malle looks and sounds just like Gretchen.

DEar Gretchen
I am 62 and wish I could give you a big Granma hug. I love ya baby. You are kind and beautiful. Perhaps the most beautiful of all the housewives. I am truly sorry about Jeff passing. You made the last of his life very happy. You are a very giving and kind woman.

Gretchen,
you are a stunning beautiful young woman, from the inside and out.I beleive God blessed you with your good looks to make a difference in this world. People are not only attracted to your good looks, but your loving and caring personality. Tamera and Vickii are jealous of your youth, beauty and how you light every room you walk in. You are a cheerful giver and you gave all that you could to Jeff. I could feel your love for him and his love for you. You don't owe anybody explanations concerning your relationship with him. Don't ever change how beautiful you are, you can be more firm, and don't trust jealous women, but don't ever change your happy spirit. You are my favorite housewife and I just adore you. I hope to see you next season, because you are "STAR" of this show and the "Hottest Housewife" inside and out!

Hi Gretchen, you are DEFINITELY the most beautiful person on the show, inside and out and I think that the way the other ladies treat you is horrible. Throughout the entire show, you dealt with everything so gracefully and I really admire you. I am 16 years old and there aren't very many good role models for us out there but I see you as a very respectable person. The way you handled everything that happened with Jeff was amazing, you went through a lot and you still came out on the other side a warm-hearted, sweet woman. I genuinely believe the two of you were in love. While I hope that you will come back to the show, I would completely understand if you didn't, the scrutiny you were under was awful. I hope that you remain the same person you came into my living room as. You're the one person from the show that I could feel comfortable being around. Thank you for brightening up my day!

Okay - "Big Faux Pas" Today I called Gretchen, Tamara. I saw her today at the LA Kings game. I yelled Tamara and she looked at me and said "My name is Gretchen" OMG, What an idiot I was. Funny thing was that even after I called her Tamara she came over and spoke to me. WOW! After such an offensive remark, she was lovely. Just as I thought she would be. People have tried to beat her down but she holds her head high as well she should. She is an exquisite person inside and out. Incredibly beautiful and giving as well. I think Tamara and Vicki are both spiteful and jealous individuals who spend too much time on what other people are doing and not enough on their own issues.

Gretchen deserves to be happy, as does anyone. People spend entirely too much time trying to bring other people down. We have enough negativity in the world without intentionally attacking or trying to tear someone down. Be happy for people.

Gretchen, thank you for your incredible class today, you’re lovely! Be Happy!

I just want to say something kind about you Gretchen.you have amazing eyes and good body.your kinda out there but thats good sometimes but it can also get you into big trouble.so as you would say "hold on to your daddys girls cause gretchen is coming..."

Best of luck to you! I so hoped for a happy ending with you and Jeff, but God does what He wants when He wants and why He wants. I'm glad you bounced back! My heart goes out to you and Jeff's children!

By the way have you learned to ride your bike?

Gretchen,

I hope you'll be back next season, you brought kindness to the show. While two cruel womem attactked you, you treated them with respect and kindness.

You showed how a real woman behaves while others judge and mistreat you, you never stooped to their level and held your head high. It was very refreshing to see you and Lynne the show, hopefully you can save it from going down the ugly negative path.

You are just as beautiful (and even tinier!) in real life as you are on the Real OC Gretchen! But you should remember that not everyone is as lucky nor as privileged as you and TIP YOUR SERVERS!!!! 20% is standard, especially if servers go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, as I did you... just a "tip!"
Cheers!

Hi

I am sorry for your lost, Jeff was a real man. You were great on the show dont let the other women(Tamra & Vicky) put you down. You were the best on the darn show. I will not be watching next season due to the way you were treated and also for your not returning. Jeana really seen to be a true friend.

Good Luck & God Bless
Earlene

Gretchen, Don't let people put you down. Who cares what other people think because its your life and really nobody has the right to say to you that was wrong or that was right. You were around Jeff and His family so you naturally grow feelings for that person if it start as something else or not, its still there. Tarma always has her nose in everyones business you just happened to have the story of the season and she wanted to put you down. I've seen you shy off since the show ended. I hope you do whats good for you but if were wanna do another show don't listen to the caddy talk. People have no right to say whats right or wrong. You were nice to all the girls every the mean ones. They never gave you a chance but you tried thats why you're the Classy one!

I hope you return for another season...

Gretchen: I am so sorry about Jeff's passing, I believe that you had something very special. As far as Tamara is concerned; (even though you say everything is fine) she comes off as a very jealous person. My theory is just because you have money does not mean you have class!! That has been proven over and over again on this show. In my opinion there are only a couple of you that can say you have got class ( you are one ). Hang in there, I hope you find happiness. In the mean time beware of wolves in sheep's clothing!! Kari - Tillamook, Oregon

I want to say that I am sorry for your loss. You have over 900 responses to your old blog from viewers offering their sincere condolences and support to you this season. Don't you think you should respond to those viewers with an updated blog?

Gretchen,
I am sorry for your loss of Jeff. He seem like a very amazing person. I think it was wonderful the way you
always stood by him during his illness. Keep up the good work on the show being Real. You are a very nice person and you love life. Don't ever let anyone put you down.
You ROCK!

Where did you get the orange leather chairs?

I really enjoy the show. All of your personalities create great drama. Your bike was fabulous. I might have missed something, but I truly expected a pic of you on your bike as a pinup or calander girl.

I loved all of your clothes, who is your favorite designer?

Gretchen, I love your humor, personality and beauty. Don't stoop to the immature level of the others. Keep your head high and keep smiling! PS Slade is gross.. Set your sights higher!!

I think its funny that people are on here defending Gretchen. I have seen both Jays facebook and myspace. She is clearly with him and making out with him. All the while she has her ring on. Gretchen was my favorite on the show but, after so long of silence and all the things comming out I have lost alot of respect her. I would much rather her come out and admit that she had done wrong and the viewers can forgive her and forget about it.

Gretchen,

I am sorry for your loss. I know it must have been tough going through all these emotions with the eye of the public. You are a gorgeous housewife and it seems like you have a loving family.

I do think some of the housewives did you give you a tough time while you were on the show. I don't think that was fair at all. Don't let people like that get you down cause you are way better than that. Best of luck with everything!

I'm sorry for your loss.

You did what any moral loving woman would do for her man in his time of illness, and don't ever feel that you didn't.

I was appalled by the behavior of some of the women towards you, and I imagine they didn't win themselves a big fan base.

I personally don't care what happens behind the scenes. I only am interested in what is revealed to me as an audience member-therefore, I think you were right and they were wrong!

Gretchen sorry for your loss. I am glad to see that you are moving on as well you should be. Viewers do not know what Jeff did or did not know about. whatever it is people are trying to out you for. Jeff may he rest in peace is not here and I doubt highly his mind would have been changed. He died a happy man. sharon and phototube selling stories to the enquirer. Jen Beitzel on the very morally substantial rock od Love. Tamara the ethically challenged wife of an ex car salesman has the nerve to call anyone out. She is the beacon of morality. I have seen her nuggets teeny nuggets online. grabbing and fondling even if it is your husband in public is nasty. Beer bong parties while underage kids watch. She has room to talk.lmao. Keep your head up and show the haters how it is done. Do well girl. It is the best revenge. I am no longer watching the OC as I her you are not coming back. It is stale and musky to me now.lol. I wish you nothing but the best. Please choose your confidants very carefully. Even Joe bidens daughter got caught by a so called friend. Watch yourself is all. Good luck in all your future endeavors.

Gretchen,
So very sorry for your loss.
Please do not be discouraged by the few negative, jealous, and cruel comments. You are an inspiring, beautiful, and real person. You were never fake or spoke a negative word about any of the other housewives during your interviews. I wish I could be more like that. You never took anyone's advice on how to secure any assets from Jeff why he was ill. You remained devoted to him and his children . You were always fun loving and the life of the party in the show and it was obvious to everyone that Vicky and Tamera were just jealous because you stole their thunder!I hope, hope, hope we see you next season or I won't be watching. You would be great on ABC's the bachelorette!Think about it! I'm going to nominate you! Good luck with the next page in your life.

Tamra, has been a total bitch this last season.
I have lost all respect for her.
She is a cold hearted mean women.
I don't see how she has any friends.

Gretchen,

I want to first tell you I deeply saddened about the loss of Jeff and my heart goes out to you, your family and to his children and family.

During this season some of the women were hard on you for continuing on with your life despite Jeff's illness, I commend you for that life goes on and has to go on regardless of the hard times in our lives. I recently lost my son and I beleive that part of your greiving and healing process is getting back to life as it was before as hard as that is.
I loved you as an addition to the show this season and look forward to seeing you in the future regardless of Vicki and Tamara and their issues, sometimes their behavior shows their lack of class.

Hi Gretchen,

First, I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine how you must be feeling. I know the housewives of OC season has been over for a while, but, wanted to weigh in on my opinion re: your appearances on the show. To me you seem like a very caring, genuine, fun loving person! W/ regards to Ryan's behavior, I totally understand what you mean by not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings (even if they are being creepy AND when it's your friend's son!) I also know how weird ex-boyfriends can be and what lengths they will go to, to stir things up. If anything it seemed so obvious that Tamara was/is jealous and was down right manipulative trying to get you really drunk and talking smack about you. I get that no one twisted your arm to do shots, but have also been in the situation where you're feeling sad or vulnerable and someone is shoving drinks in front of you, you drink them!! We're all human. Tamara may gives me the creeps. Its too bad some women can't get past their own insecurities and enjoy the company of another nice woman who might happen to be gorgeous and fun-loving. Oh well, that speaks to the other person's problems. Oh - also, I happen to love nice jewelry, clothes and expensive toys, but make no apologies and guess what - it doesn't make me a shallow person. I hope in time you will get through your grief and find love again. Take good care, Kelly - a fellow mid-westerner.

It amazes me how mean people are to Gretchen. Most of the people put their own spin on her actions and think they 'know" what is going on. Look at the facts!!
Fact - when everyone told her to get Jeff to marry her or sign his money over to her she did not. She said it was not hers to have.
Fact - She took care of a dying man for 7 months.
Fact - She never said one mean thing about anyone in her interviews
Fact - She has moved on - as most people do when a loved one dies so get over it people. She is free to date anyone she wants
Who are you all to judge when you "see" something from the outside and think you all know the truth.

My stepfather has terminal cancer, three types to be exact. He's kicked two of them, but still has the one. We are military, so we are away from "home." But, on a recent visit, I saw all the burden on my mother's shoulders. There's nothing one can say or do to even begin to explain what one goes through when taking care of a terminally ill loved one. I only hope that if I am ever faced with this set of cards, I can shuffle and manage as gracefully as my mother.
I think your days off, and funfilled events, were a must for your personal morale. Emotion can eat ones soul and leave them baron for the next phase in life.

As for Tamra, I don't know that I could let her get off as easily as you have. I admire your strength to just let go and let it be what it is.

I think you're a gorgeous woman that brought a lot of life to the Houswives. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Whether the love between you and Jeff was authentic, romantic love is irrelevent. It was apparent that you truly cared for him and he was head over heels in love with you. Sometimes that's all that matters. He choose to have you by his side and you brought joy into his final days. Who is anyone to judge you? I wish you all the best for future happiness. I hope you come back next season, as well.

Gretchen,
I LOVE YOU! I can tell you have a kind heart and a good soul. Those are the things that matter. If Slade makes you happy, GO FOR IT. You will always have the bashers and the haters...
Keep your head up... wishing you the very best!
CF

Gretchen,
all i have to say is that even if your relationship was not "authentic" you brought joy to jeffs life. it was so evident on the show and that is between you and him!!!

Gretchen, stop lying. At least admit to yourself if no one else that you are a gold-digger.
I would have more respect for you if you did have it in the open. You are pretty and young and if a man wants to spend/waste his money on you, GREAT. Just don't lie.

I don't know if Jeff really knew what he was paying for, but I hope he did. If you made it clear to him at least that you were a paid companion, then I think you are just fine. But if you were lying to him like you were lying on the show, I really hope your life is full of people who care nothing about you and just want your money or body.

Remember that what goes around comes around. I believe that it (karma) comes back to you and really hope that you will stop lying. You are a very pretty woman with brains and skills! Telling the truth about what you want and how you obtain it is acceptable. Just admit you are a gold-digger.

Gretchen,

I just saw the recap show again and while I don't normally get into commenting on these kind of shows; it really affected me to learn Jeff had past. I believed he was sick, but I guess, I hoped for (expected) a happy ending. I enjoyed watching your role in this show and I am very sorry for your lost, for Jeff and his family. I thought you handled yourself well throughout all of this this and you have nothing to regret.

Take care, Gretchen

It doesn't look like Gretchen will be returning for Season 5. =( She is listed as a former cast member here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_Housewives_of_Orange_County

Hi there,
Was really sad about what happened to Jeff, how painful it must've been...
But thanks for being a Housewife, you were great during the show, hope you come back.
I hope you enjoy great good fortune in your life to come.

I saw on AOL that they are saying that Gretchen is dating Slade. If its true, Good for Both of you. Gretchen you are young and you went thru so much with Jeff and losing him in the end. Its been a while now and if you are ready to start dating then so be it.
I am glad that you are with Slade. Slade is a good Dad to his sons. It speaks volumes about a man.
I hope if the two of you are together that you will be Happy... I have watched Housewives of OC since season 1. When Slade 1st met you, you could see the Electrical currents that hit Slade instantly.
You make a great couple an attractive couple, & I hope you guys will be happy together.
Gretchen you have a great personality and are a caring person. You are a Diamond.
Tamra is NOT even a Cubic she is nothing more than a lump of coal. Tamra your jealousy made you one ugly witch whose face actually changed because you were so full of hatred.
Vicky, you always think that you are a class act but you were anything but this season.
The way that you and Tamra acted this season must have mortified your husbands and kids.
Tamra you gropping Simons privates in front of Vicky and Donn, and Vicky, your actions at the bar in IL was pathetic to watch and must have truly hurt Brianna. Mom tells her not to sleep around but you Vicky acted like a trampy 15 YO.
Gretch those 2 have NOTHING on you.
Jeanna and Lynne are your real friends and like you, beautiful and caring..
Best of Luck with Slade.

OMG!!! I can't believe how blind & naive you people are! Gretchen is a player..always was & always will be. She used Jeff right up to the very end. How many people do you know that have an ill loved one & act the way she did? She is a very selfish woman with a LOT of growing up to do. I for one hope she doesn't return next season

Gretchen...regardless of what some 'ugly-really ugly' people have said about your relationship...they don't know and they have no business stating anything about that. He's gone your still alive {even though Vicky & Tamar took turns stabbing you in the back} you have every right to move on with your life.

Considering the unkind things that were done to you and said about you by both Tamara & Vicky...you rose above their stupid/hateful/immature back stabbing and it was a true beacon of light when you were introduced to the show. You so rock!!! I loved the respectful way in which you tried to handle those 'gold-digger' techniques that Vicky & Jeanna were trying to force onto you about Jeff's will and his MONEY!!! You showed some extreme patience and real class while trying to change the subject and ward off the verbal attack about 'JEFF's MONEY' {something that seemed to be overlooked by Vicky with no class and Jeanna with no clue}.

I'm glad that you were on this past season and I would doubt that the money would be worth making another season but make them pay and make them pay large to get you to return...you and Lynne were the only reasons that kept me tuned in. Best of luck in whatever you do! You are quite a lovely/kind/warm hearted/lovely young woman! I wish you could meet my son...you would have beautiful children together...hint, hint!

Hi Gretchen,
I love you and want to know where is your blog? I pray you are on next season since you are the only reason I would watch. I feel for what you have gone through. I think you make the show, and if you decide not to join the cast, why not have a show of your own? I know it would be a hit.
Your fan,
Cathy

You are my favorite on the show and I have watched from the beginning. You just seem so real. Though I hope you don't let me down. Too many people saying you are not being genuine but I just don't believe it. I think you are real and think the other women on the show are just jealous. You are so pretty and absolutely love your hearty and genuine laugh and really seem to have a great sense of humor and fantastic personality!! Good luck and hope to see you next season.

Gretchen, No one really knows what was happening behind the cameras and we don't know what was edited out. For these people to judge you when they saw the same thing I did is ridiculous. You are beautiful with an infectious laugh that always made me smile. What ever your relationship with Jeff was, well that was between you and Jeff. I'm sorry so many people have bashed you about that. I'm sure it's been tough on you since he's been gone. One viewer was correct though when they said "Why Slade?" You can definitely do better than that. Your young and I'm glad you are getting out there and not moping at home. I hope to see you next season.

im sorry about your loss gretchen but i hear your with slade!!! go girl.

Just saw the pictures of you and Slade on the boat. Nice to see your are still wearing your ring while you make out with him. Classy.

I cannot believe how many people you have fooled!! It's funny, really! What a joke...

Gretchen, you are lovely!!! I don't like the car salesman's wife, how she treated you, throughout the whole show.

I recently started dating someone who has everything I love. Then found out he has Parkinsons Disease. It's in early stages, but he is still very active.

I do love him, but I need advice on how to get people to think I only love him for money.

Being from Texas, you know the cowboys. He still team ropes every day! Our balance is that I ride english. Still quarter horse...

I was crushed when I heard about Jeff's passing. I hope you are doing well, and the pnly reason people are mean to you is because thay are jealous.

WOW....where do i start? at first i thought that you and jeff were actually a real couple but then i figured it out. especially at the reunion. I mean really??!!!! those were his last days and you just used him. You are dating right now and I'm sure of it that you were dating while Jeff was in the hospital if not before and after with the so called "stalker" that came with you to bass lake and apparently a good family friend. Nice try. What you did was wrong on so many levels. What you did was wrong and thats why I hate you. You took away the last months that this nice man had and it was for your own selfish reasons. I stick to what I say 100%. Tamra and all of the REAL housewives are the best and they aren't fake like how you were portraying yourself to be. And I most definitely agree with Tamra, that you are a really troubled woman/ "little kid". GROW UP and get a heart.

Please take the time to email me or blog about it because I was really disappointed when I actually saw evidence that you were manipulating Jeff.

Gretchen,

Come on, what are you doing going to laker games with Slade Smile??? Slade is one of the biggest tools that I have ever seen on TV. You can get any guy you want, so why Slade?

Let me start off by saying that I think that you are the best housewive. People really looked down on you because you were with Jeff, but I wasn't one of those people. You and Jeff were so sweet togrther and it was sad that he passed away. I hope you came back next season. Keep your spirits up and I will see you on the next season. Love you much. Colleen

Gretchen,

Your my favorite.

Gretchen, You are awesome. I think some of the other "Housewives" are jealous because you are young, beautiful, and a real person. Don't do the implant thing. You look fantastic! I'm sorry about Jeff. You really saw on the show how committed you were to him and the relationship. Hope to see you again on the new season. And as for certain "Housewives" like Tamra, don't let her or anyone get you down. All the best to you!

Waiting for a blog update.

Gretchen,

Your my favorite on the show. Your a natural beauty and your genuine. I never once doubted your allegiance to Jeff, it's obvious they edit TV in a way that things can be misconstrued. I am so sorry you lost such a lovely man in your life. You could tell how much he loved you the way he looked at you. God bless and keep you in all you do!

Will you please update your blog. Wanting to know how you are doing? I hope that the things Tamara had to say about that other man are not true you and Lynne were my favorite.

Gretchen,

You are the only reason this show is fun or interesting. You are gorgeous, hot, funny and have an infectious laugh.

You have the most class and the best attitude also.

Go Gretchen!!!

gretchen ur the best..u brought tears to my eyes when u told us about Jeff...love you girl!!!!

Gretchen,

I have been a fan of the show since it started. Although I know that the "heart" of the show is about who has what, I was really disturbed when you showed up. At first I wasn't sure who bothered me the most, you or Jeff for allowing you to get whatever you wanted out of him. It is so common for older men to fall for a younger woman, but it is so much more common for the younger woman to seek that older men (with mega mula of course). A man that loves and wants to keep their eye candy on their arm will do whatever it takes. At his stage in his illness what he needed was someone that would have been there unconditionally without expecting anything in return. I cannot imagine myself even caring to get my ring in the mail knowing that my husband was in the hospital ALONE! I mean come on who does that? The ring should have meant absolutely nothing to you, it was the person behind the ring that should have meant the world to you. I agree with one of the other bloggers how could you even mention anything about working to one of his daughters when you yourself was milking him. His children are his blood and should have come first. The way you carried yourself throughout the show was not the attitude of someone that had a loved one in the hospital. Drinking, partying, shopping, flirting, come on I don't care how stressed you were. I had a parent in the same situation (Leukemia) and for 3 months straight I ate, slept, and lived my mother. I went to work because I had to but after work she was my focus. When I heard Jeff had passed I felt so sad, not for you, but for him. He deserved to have lived his last days next to his family with lots of love and attention. Full time attention not partial attention like the one you offered him. All his money in the world did him no good, but it did loads for you. I hope he died peacefully.
As for you, work for your money. Use your "personality" for good. Prove to the world and yourself that you can take care of yourself!!!

I just have one question for all of those supporting Gretchen. Did you even watch the show? How about the reunion show? It just amazes me how gullible you can be. If Gretchen truly cared for Jeff, she wouldn't have acted the way she did. Whether or not they really had a relationship or she was just his caregiver, her actions on this show were despicable!
