I was wondering where you got the turquoise swimsuit that you wore on the episode where you went to Arizona with Slade? That swimsuit is absolutely adorable and I love it! You are great on the show and I look forward to seeing you overcome all the struggles that life has thrown at you. Keep your head up and stay optimistic and I'm sure karma will turn its way towards you.

would love to know where your bathing suit is from? onyour facebook profile pic

You are def. My favorite. I think you put up with a lot of crap. Keep me laughing!

Gretchen....Everytime I see you and Tamra together I am thinking how short life can be to hold such a grudge. If you were older, maybe you would realize this too. Yes, many hurtful words were spoken, but it REALLY IS TIME to stop all this nonsense and bickering about who said what and why. Learn to forgive, and life will be much happier for both of you. I did see Tamra reach out to you....and you still doubted her sincerity....why can't you just take an apology and accept it???? We all need forgiveness in our heart.

Gretchen..you are so so beautiful!!!!!!!! i admire you...
i love watching...the show..love love your personality..looks,friendliness....etc..

keep being you..don't change..be yourself..

wish you the best in life..

Gretchen Rossi,

I just LOVE watching you on the show...I always have to tune in every Thursday night to see what you are wearing and how your hair is so prefect...you are my favorite!

xoxo
kc

I just adore you and your my favorite housewife! I honestly think Tamara is doing a lot of hating against you to the point of jealousy!!! It doesn't matter what you do in your life, she had no business talking to you like that! Stay true to yourself and your step children! xoxo Linda :)

Hey Girl! You are the most beautiful Housewife cast member EVER and I am not a lesbian, lol. Tamra and Vicki are SO obviously jealous of you it is funny to watch! Much love from Mississippi! Keep them hating!

Team Gretchen

You are simply precious! Love watching you! So glad to see you having fun again...Keep giving us great TV.

Watching you is soo entertaining and uplifting, you have soo much confidence and are so full of life, its great!

Live your life, you don't have time for haters! If I get a makeover, I'd be you.

Gretchen, you are amazing. I just want to tell you that the whole Tamara issue is way out of control. You are just a beautiful, and sweet person and you don't deserve to be treated that way. It makes me upset when ever Tamara bring up everything over and over again. She need to grow up and get over it. Keep living your life the way you do. Your happy now and that great. You Rock! :)

Gretchen- Please post your makeup tips! Please let us know colors and brands you wear. I love your makeup:)

Gretchen,

Don't worry about Tamra and all the hate she seems to have for you. Your life is your business....not hers! Thank you for telling her to "you know what" at the cuff party. That was awesome and so great to see how shocked she was that you called her out. You go girl!

You are one awesome chica and I'm SO happy that your doing better! Don't change who you are for anyone because you are definitely one positive person out of a crowd of many that this world needs right now.
Stay true to yourself because you are one amazing person =]

Love you girl! Wish I could be on the show too!

Do you always talk about yourself in the third person?

Gretchen- I'm not worried about you. You have a great attitude toward everything and you are very good at brushing off the negative and focusing on the positive. Honestly, I didn't even bother to find out if all the accusations are true. I know that the majority of them are not true, and the rest are for you to deal with. We don't need to know what's true and neither does Tamra. Plus, you openly admit that you aren't proud of everything, but you haven't done anything to compromise your character. Everyone has moments they wish never happened, but the most important thing is that you are ok with yourself, and I know you are.

No matter what happens, I see that you are adaptable and you will be just fine! Keep the positive attitude going. :) You are awesome.

You've been my favorite since you first came on to the Housewives last season. You're fun and unpretentious - a breath of fresh air to the other housewives. I love how you keep your head up when the other girls are doing everything to shoot you down -- I deal with a lot of that myself at my school and seeing the same drama happen to you on the show made just me realize it's all because of jealousy. You're clearly the most beautiful Housewife and you always have fun no matter what you're doing. You've openly admitted you don't have money and neither does Slade, and the fact you're still going on doing your own thing, being your own person, is inspiring. The photos leaked of you sucks, but for Christ's sake do the other Housewives not realize this has happened to 75% of celebrities?!

You're a fantastic person and a good role model to the rest of us.

Yes i would like by saying Gretchen you are beautiful women and i think there is a lot of jealousy towards you and its childish and stupid. If Slade makes you happy then he is for you, everyone has past relationships and its really no ones business. Please continue to be your self and enjoy what life hands you.

I've never written in to anything like this but just wanted you to know that I believe you should remain your own person regardless what anyone else thinks. You should be allowed to do whatever you want as long as you are not hurting others which I've never seen you do and don't think you ever would. I think you are fun, young & experiencing life the way you want to. And EVEN if you wanted to drink a little too much or sleep with a few guys so who cares! I just don't really think it matters. Anyway - I think you've been given a hard time and it irritates me to no end. Hang in there girlfriend!

YOU ARE SO PRETTY AND BEAUTY BRINGS HATE.LET THEM HATE YOU,DO YOUR THING YOUR YOUNG AND PRETTY..LOVE YOU

Gretchen!!! A big thanks to you and Slade for actually talking to me (via Jim's cell phone)!!!! I met Alexis & Jim at lunch in Caesar's Palace on Sat. - we sat next to each other. What a nice couple - so approachable and down to earth. For Jim to hand me his cell phone so I could talk to you guys was a HUGE THRILL!!! Really, thank you for talking to me!!! Love you guys!!

I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for making me want to pay attention to myself again. Thank you for being so dignified and strong through your trauma (not to mention maintaining your beautocity). Thank you for reminding me that I am important, even when my priorities have been taken up by real housewive mundane-ness. Thank you for saying "f**k you world" for those of us who just gave up because of the chatterbox windbags in our lives. You keep your head held high, keep your priorities in perspective, and don't give a damn what the other gals say. You know... girls have nothing if they don't have someone to hate on.

Gretchen
F--- everyone else! Ignore the haters, and keep being your carefree, sweet, unassuming self. You add such a breath of fresh air to the show, and I love that you have the courage to stand up and show your real self. I've learned that women will try to tear down someone they feel jealous of and it's clearly displayed on the show. You don't even need to DO anything, because everyone see's it. What separates you from them, is your ability to ignore what they say and carry on, even with all the crap you've been through in the last two years! What an inspiration you are. You could really be a catalyst for change in young girls' lives, and I hope you cease that opportunity. Smooches, keep up the happy!

Hi, Gretchen I just took the quiz over which housewife are you? I was YOU! I was soooooooooooooo excited you are my favorite on the show. I think you are the most fun, bubbly, and sweetest person on the show with the best wardrobe can't forget that. I love your dogs to they are super cute. I have kept up with you since last season. That was hard you are all over the place. L.O.L:)

I am so sorry about Jeff I cried when he passed away he was a really great guy it seemed like with what I saw of him. You two would have been the perfect couple. I do have a feeling in me that you and slade have a bright future.

I hope you have a happy holiday season,
xoxoxox Liv:)

I gotta know too.....where did you get that pink and turquoise bathing suit??? Come on, tell us!!!

Gretchen do not change...you're great and I think you and Slade are good together. You just keep having fun and let those creeps say what they will. In fact, give them more to talk about. It's actually kind of funny to watch them cry while you're having a good time.

I like your attitude and your so HOTTT! Tamara is hating on you girl

gretchen! hey,girl you just keep being you.love ya!

I have been thumbing through the messages being left for you Gretchen, 4 about 25 mins. now and I have not read ONE negative comment!!!! I LOVE IT!!! You could easily b a spokesmodel for ANYTHING!!! Give back to yourself, for putting yourself out there for all to judge, just like other popular entertainers. You should reap some bene's for it, just like the others!

p.s. ALOT of peeps that find over night semi-fame usually get a HEAD LIKE A LED BALOON, PLZ OH PLZ GRETCH, DON'T DO THAT, AND CHANGE EVERYONE ONES ADMIRATION 4 U, INTO CHARACTER SUICIDE & EVERYBODY JUST WAITING FOR YOU TO "GO AWAY" REMEMBER THE MEDIA "LOVES" TO BUILD EM UP, JUST TO TAKE EM DOWN. KEEP YOUR FAM. CLOSE TO YOU. WHOEVER KEEPS IT REAL THE MOST ARE THE ONES YOU WANT BY YOUR SIDE SWEETIE, TRUST!!!
Luvs, Laurazzz2010

Gretchen you deserve to be happy. Three and half year I lost my
husband of almost 30 years of marriage. Then a year after he died
my only son of 27 was diagnoised with glioblastmo of the brain. After two surgeries to remove the tumors he lost his battle with
this horrible cancer on November 4th of this year. Watching you is giving me at this early stage some hope that I will be smiling and be able to enjoy my life without the two loves of my life. Keep smiling you are beautiful!!!

I think you and Slade are great together. I hope it works out with the two of you. I hope you get married and have beautiful children together.

I know its so super cute!! Does anyone know where its from?

Please tell us where you got the blue and pink bikini!!!

Gretchen, I think you're great! You are by far my favorite housewife and I love watching you. My fiancee hates the show but he admits that he has a crush on you. :) Stay strong and don't let the lies bring you down!

You go, girl! I just love watching you week after week; I feel like you're not afraid to show your true self, whether it's laughing and being silly with Slade, having a great time with friends and family, or opening up and recounting Jeff's last days (which are TRULY heartwrenching, by the way! You are amazingly strong and have gotten even STRONGER since last season!). I love that, as stunningly drop-dead gorgeous as you are, you're not obsessed with how you look to the degree that the other housewives seem to be. You're not afraid to laugh at yourself and have a good time. And while I'm glad to hear that you and Tamra are deciding to let the past be just that and move forward, proceed with caution: Perhaps that rest of the season will reveal more, but at this point, I (and a lot of others, I imagine) do NOT trust her. And congratulations on your newfound happiness with Slade. I wasn't the biggest fan of his, but your relationship with him has caused me to see him in a new light. You both seem VERY happy together and I wish you all the best! Keep on kicking a**!!!!

Gretchen last season I thought you were super shady and I thought you weren't sincere....however this year I absolutley lovvvee you! I'm not sure what has changed but to be honest I found that the things that were said about you weren't true. Keep shining girl! :)

Gretchen, i love that bikini you wore on your Arizona trip. Which designer is it? Love your #1 fan

Gretchen! We love you marry us!
P and A ;)

Keep doing YOU Gretchen~you're doing yourself proud. Since lovely Jeana left there's only you who shows what it means to be a real, compassionate and classy lady. I don't know how you managed to hold your tongue this long. I'm glad you finally bit back. I have 3 grown children and if my daughter conducted herself like you a midst all the crazies and craziness, I would be very pleased. Please do not bring yourself down to their level often~that would be the saddest thing to witness. It seems like you and Slade are having a great time and have really good communication. It all boils down to this~your heart's in the right size and place............you will be happy. People like you deserve it, and people like you go out and find it! You're awesome!!!!!

Love ya', Gretchen! Keep being true to YOURSELF! Forget the haters.
LIVE life to the full! Live, Love, Laugh!

Jeana has always been my favorite (after Lori left), however, I'm slowly beginning to warm up to you. I hope you are happy no matter what I think of Slade.

Hi Gretchen,
First of all, I'm a Hairstylist and have to tell you that your hair is absolutely gorgeous and whoever does you color is doing an amazing job. Second of all, you are my favorite and I think that all of the drama is caused by total jealousy towards you so
keep your head up high and continue doing what you do best...which is to be Gretchen!!! and we love that!!!

"Don't let the bastards get you down!" Like I needed to say that, you are bearing all thier petty crap with as much grace and patience as one could in those circumstances. If it were me, I'd have done some bitch-slapping a long time ago! When my father died 14 years ago, I was 22. I went a little wild to cover the pain so I understand in a way. Just keep moving forward in the future. Stay hot and cute and you'll be fine!

Gretchen honey you are wonderful!Everyone could tell you loved Jeff.Honestly i wish Tamra would leave i love everyone else but her.I dont think she needs to worry about your relationships i think she needs to worry about her own.Don't let her get to you you are amazing and beautiful.Don't let others get you down honey!!!

Grethcen,
I just want you to know that I love you and I ope all that you do in your love life and personal life works out for you and that you find the happiness that you deserve!! Untill you came to the show i wasn't sure I would I would keep watching it but then came sun shinning bubbly you and if the others dont like you well it is because they are jealous and they can all just go to hell!!! If I ever get the chance I would love to meet you and I dont want this to sound stalky I just think that hanging out with you and haveing a few drinks would be sooo much fun!! Like I said good luck to you and everything in your life go it your happiness you deserve it for sure!!
Your Colorado Friend/Fan
Tonja

Gretchen,
I think you are the most HONEST Hosewife on the show.
Thank you for being you and being honest! You are beautiful and deserve a great life!!!!

Gretchen I absolutely adore you. You have a really good attitude and great personality. Tamara is just ...... So just stay strong and continue to be the strong and amazing person you are.

I agree with everyone else Gretchen, I'm doing to know who makes the turquoise and pink bikini you were wearing!!

Gretchen, you are my favorite OC housewife. I love how you are such a bubbly and sweet girl. It is so sad how people attack the relationship Jeff and you had. Hang in there and enjoy your life!!

simply put...your hands down gorgeous, your laugh lights up the show; your genuine...you 'outta be in movies! keep smiling...your clearly the nicest girl! be happy

Gretchen,
You hang in there. I hope you get the relationship, and marriage you so desire. Others try to knock you down with angry words and accusations, but they are just plain jealous! Be at peace, and be happy!

girl you rock! I admire the way you never let that negative energy phase you! you have a beautiful spirit. plus i dont care what anyone says you and slade are a smokin' couple. love it love you hope life only brings you good things.

by the way how does your hair look like thatt in the morning? so awesome

You have a beautiful spirit and girl you are HILARIOUS! You bring a wonderful energy to the show. Stay positive and enjoy your new found love with Slade - you have nothing to feel guilty about. Love love!

I LOVE YOU!!!
You are WONDERFUL!!! and so BEAUTIFUL!! you stand your groups! you are so strong and thats why everyone loves you!! keep doing the great work!! :)

Gretchen, have to say I LOVED it when you told Tamra to shut the F up at Lynn's party! She deserved that! You are doing a good job of doing what's best for you. You are a genuine caring person who loves life and who cares what anyone else thinks! Keep your head high and God bless you!

Gretchen -

I just have to say - I freaking LOVE you. You are by far the best Housewife. You are funny and you speak your mind.

You have such a great attitude and are not afraid to be who you want to be. I love it!

I look forward to seeing how the season progresses - you are pretty much the only one on there that I watch it for any more... Although it is pretty fun to watch the others in their downward spirals...

#1 Housewife!!!!

Gretchen!

You are such a great example of the attitude more people should have. You have a positive quality that many people may become jelouse of. NO ONE in this world can say they are perfect, and those that try to lecture you about virtue are usually those who do not have much of their own. You glow in everything you do, and make those with ugly souls fade in the background.

keep up your great energy.

Gretchen, you rock girl!! You are obviously a happy and loving person who is comfortable in her own skin. Stay strong hon. Also, do you think you could do a short video on how you do your hair? It is so pretty and I know a lot of us gals would love to know how to get your look. :) Look forward to seeing you in future episodes!

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SUPER CUTE BIKINI YOU ARE AT THE HOTEL POOL? THE ONE THAT WAS PINK & BLUE?

You (and Jeana) are my favorites. Although you both go about life differently, you each know who you are, you don't judge and you enjoy the people in your lives. I can tell that you both believe in and have a relationship with God, although Jeana did not talk about it. Both of you have values that demonstrate that belief. I will miss Jeana and I'm sure that you will too! Stay real and don't get bitter and judgmental like some of the cast.

gretchen i think you are great and so strong and anyone that has bad things to say about you are just jealous so keep your head up and stay as cute as you are

Just wanted to say, "Good for you!". Only you can live your life. Others may not agree, heck, I don't even agree with your life, but it's not theirs and it's not mine. It's yours! Keep letting what the others say roll right off you're back and be happy with who you are.

Keep smiling and keep laughing!

YOU ROCK GRETCHEN!!!!!!

Gretchen, I absolutely love you! I don't care what anyone says about you just continue to be the wonderful person you are. It is all right to go out, be crazy and have fun. You are young and through it all you are a lady. There is a time and place for everything and I think you display that well. Keep doing your thing girl, you go Gretchen!

you go girl, if i was your age agin i would be doing just what your doing & making the best out of life & not taking nothing off nobody.you make me smile & i love watching housewives cause you roc, and i'm 56 yrs old & can't wait to see it agin, stay your self & you will be ok all through life, hugs judy

Gretchen, I just love you and the way you live life to the fullest. I think some of the stiff necks are someone annoyed because you are your own person and you don't allow others to live your life for you or tell you what you can or cannot do. Continue to be yourself and if others don't like it....(I will tell them for you)..."They can kiss your tight, in shape a&%...the one they wish they had!" Love YA!!!

Gretchen, anyone with half a brain can see what a sweet lady you are! I think you are very genuine.

Gretchen, the best relationships are the ones that start out as friendships. Best of luck to you and Slade.

Gretchen, I also watch the show just to see how you are doing, and am very happy for you and Slade. And your blog is sooo long, but a good read nonetheless. Keep your head up and rock on, girl.

I adore you! I don't think you're a victim at all. You're just a doll and I think its easy to be jealous of you. I love it!

hey gretchen love you on the show. i saw you and slade at a fashion show in philly in the fall of this year and your just as beautiful upfront as you are on tv. I say good luck to you and slade, he is really hot!! my question is , do you still stay in contact with Jeff's kids since he's passed away? it truly was a tough lost but at least he is no longer struggeling in pain. our hearts go out to you. thanks for chatting and much happiness to you. christine in clifton

Gretchen--
You are my FAVORITE housewife! I love your attitude and most importantly your strength! You should be applauded for the love and support you gave Jeff when he was battling his illness. In this episode, you mentioned that you are a member of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. When I heard that I almost jumped out of my seat because I am currently training for a half-marathon for LLS on January 9th. I have never been athletic but I decided to test the limits and am trying to raise funds for LLS and help families as they fight to beat blood cancers. I have done bake sales and other small events trying to raise money but due to the tough economic times...I'm finding it hard to reach the minimum requirement of 3,800; however, I am going to try to continue fundraising and getting up in the morning to run so I can train for the 13.1 miles in January. After all....if a person can go through chemotherapy...I can train for a marathon. I am currently at 49% of my fundraising goal...Can you help me reach my goal? If so, I have attached the link to the fundraising page. I also plan on putting the names of all of those people that I know that have battled with blood cancer on my t-shirt on the day of the race and I will add Jeff's name to my shirt!

I agree with the swimsuit comment. Where are you getting all these adorable swimsuits.

Gretchen, you don't have to explain yourself to anyone! I would love tips on how to do my hair like yours!. PLEASE

Gretchen, it is not often that one comes across a true beauty on the inside as well as the outside. Too often it is one or the other but you are blessed with both. You are kind and gracious and very witty. Jeff clearly adored you and you him and nothing else matters and no one has the right to judge you or your relationships. Stay true to yourself and you will go far. Don't let the haters of the world change who you are.

Gretchen,
You are what beauty is all about, not just your looks but your heart is so big and beautiful. I know what it is like to loose the love of your life. I also did alot of foolish things afterwards. I have to answer for that, no one else. I as well as you have found love again who knows where it will lead but you be happy. And God Bless you that God give you the strength to overcome people like that, jealousy is such a horrible thing.
Love ya! Vicki from Washington State.

First of all, I think you are the most truly beautiful person EVER, inside and out. I very much admire your ability to rise above all the BS, but it feels so good to watch every time you refrain from dropping to Tamra's level. Keep it up, it may not feel as good as verbally demolishing her but it really makes you the winner.

Gretchen, don't listen to any negative things those people say. You are gorgeous and you have a personality that most women are jealous of, that is why there is so much conflict! They try to find fault in everything you do because you seem so perfect with your looks and personality :) they don't understand some of us women actually have it all and are proud and confident!
The same thing happens to me with women so you are not alone, we just can't have as many girlfriends than other women or they will stab us in the back.

Gretchen,

How do you keep your body so amazing? You didn't like the spin class so I was wondering if you're just genetically lucky. I'm not overweight but I would have to work hard to look like you! There sure seem to be a lot of women in southern CA who have this body type...tight slim and not an inch of cellulite. Lucky girls, tell the rest of us your secret!

Hi Gretchen, first of all you're my fav on the show! I heard that Slade would consider having a vasectomy reversal to have children with you. That's awesome, you two make a cute couple. Ok, so my hot husband got a vasectomy reversal for me by Dr. Aaron Sptiz and it worked. Dr/ Spittz is right here in So. Cal. I was preggers five months after the procedure :) Wish you well, Keep being real and have fun. I too was a widow at 34 and found the love of my life soon afterwards. All we search for is LOVE! Take Care ~ Shelly n Jason + our little man, Travis :)

I think there is alot of people were hating on u. I hope things get better for all of you.I hate to see woman going at each other. Let's be strong and get alone and help each other. I know what is it like to lose someone to cancer. I lost my children's father Aug 19 2008, two days after his 35 b-day. He only lived 4 months after finding out he had cancer. I also felt like I didn't deserve to be happy and still have really bad days. Having God and Family and Good friends around helps.I wish you the best, because you do deserve to be HAPPY.

Gretchen, All I can say is "you rock!" Keep on going!!!!

You are awesome, young beautiful and single. It is no one else's business how you live your life.

Hey girly, I'd like to say that you're still young, you love life and you know you only have one life. Rock on sister! I'd party with you any day!

Hey Gretchen!!! I was soooooooooooo upset at how they treat you!! I honestly think they are jealous of you!!! Your a fun person, always happy, and beautiful!! Your hair is FABULOUS!!! Don't let them take your JOY. Continue being you, and ignore them. Tamra shouldn't worry about who you date anyway!!! Keep being you Gretchen. I got your back!! I think your a sweet person :)

Where did you get the bikini that you wore in AZ?! It's so cute! (The blue/pink one) I'd love to get one for myself!

Gretchen,

You are the best blogger ever!!! You really give us the inside look on all that is going on with you and your castmates. You are a very intelligent young woman, who has gone through alot in such a short time. You've faced misery and death, but you seem to be stronger in spite of your loss. That is a great thing. I remember last season you said something to the effect of "When your husband gets cancer....", and that couldn't be more corrrect. Everyone preaches and gossips, but until they are in that position, no one knows what they'll do or how they'll react.

To expect a young woman not to live life, or regain her desire for love is ludicrous if not tragic. You were taking care of a chronically ill man who passed. That alone should garner you a position in heaven. You were with him til the end. No one should judge you harshly for what you received or they think you deserved. If he was fine with it what is their gripe? TV Time! AHA!

Also as I have learned and you mention, don't repeat everything you hear! You may be wrong. Also, everything you think doesn't need to be said. Marriages that look golden, could actually be gold-plated. Furthermore, women who gossip, and harp on others, could actually be alienating the men that did love them. Maybe their marriage would improve, if they spent less time getting the gossip on other's relationships. Alas, KARMA IS A BITCH!

REMEMBER...BE GOOD TO THE PEOPLE YOU MEET ON THE WAY UP!...CAUSE THEY ARE THE SAME PEOPLE YOU'RE GOING TO MEET ON THE WAY DOWN!

GO GRETCHEN!
