hey what up tamera. after all the footage i seen and even though this isn't my buisness i kind of think that you should divorcesimon becuse i don't see any connection between you and him. all i see is conflict and he doesn't appriciate you at sometimes. and by the way this is mnly my opinion.

tamara i just wanted to say i am sorry to hear about your divorce and you should of told simon it is not all about him. i think you are great and you will find someone way better!

HEllo Tamra... I do hope u start fresh, and hope u and your family are well. U have made the show more interesting to watch. U really know how to make your fans, sit at the edge of that couch, every thurs night.

wow

Tamra,
I really appreciate the honesty and bravery that you and Simon have shown with regards to your finances. My husband and I are going through a very stressful time financially as well, and I feel the anxiety and stress you and Simon are going through on the show. I wish you both the best and pray for prosperity for us all. Any you are right...ultimately we have our families and we are blessed.

I wish you would just think about yourself and not Gretchen. Move on and live YOUR life!!!! Goodness!!!!!

Loved the dress and shoes worn to the Regis. Can you please tell me the brands?

I am such a huge fan of yours, Tamra!
My heart goes out to you for Bravo trying to squeeze out every bit of drama when you are clearly over it and don't want to keep rehashing everthing.

I think you are never rude, you're just honest and a lot of insecure people like to play the victim when you give them your opinion. You are amazing and without you this show would suck. It sucked before you came on, and you're the only real part about it. Bravo was very lucky to find you.

Tamra you look so gorgeous on that black dress you're wearig on lynne's dinner at St. Regis. What's the brand of the dress and where can I get it?

Tamra,
What you do is your business, what Gretchen does her her business. Don't let her problems become your problems. Stay focused on yourself and your family.

GO TEAM TAMRA AND GRETCHEN! I'm so excited that you girls have called a truce! I can't wait to see the new season and the next and the next.... Tamra taking the high road always makes you a winner! And a winner is what you are! I'm so proud of you I could scream!!!!!!!

Tamra,

I think you are a classy lady and I think just like EVERYONE in life you have gone through a lot, BUT the way they show you on the show you don't always say some of the nice things about people. You are very attractive so NEVER question how you look compared to anyone on the show. ALWAYS know you are attractive and be the classy lady you are....I can relate to what you are saying about the ups and downs of marriage....I was ONLY married for 2 years and my husband walked out on me when I was really sick and in the hospital and needed him the most. So I can relate to how you feel about marriage and finaces...It's VERY hard and lonely....You are lucky you have what you do.....Cherish it and your kids and your husband....Good Luck to you sexy!!!!! Much Love and God Bless!!!

hey tamra, reading this blog really makes me see you in a new light.. and I really apprciate you being so open about what your family is going though in this really tough economy. We are going though the same thing and when you started to tear up talking about it I was right there with you. I totally felt your pain and knowing how hard it is to give up the place you love and worked so hard for. I get though it by looking to the future. trying not to look back at what I have lost.. just what I will gain as time comes. To wrap this up.. I am really excited to watch this season and I have to be honest i was not a big fan of yours last season but i can tell already that this season will be different. Maybe one day I will run into at South Coast or something :) I wish you and your family a great holiday season.

Tamara, one word- KARMA

Tamara I know times are tough my husband is a stockbroker for Morgan stanley and is doing well but he wacthing everything we spend and is a control freak like Simon so I understand what your going through! Famliy first and we are upside down on our house! If you and Simon can handle this you can handle anything! Devonne Sandiego

I'm glad I read your blog because it gave me a better understanding of your side. It must have been hard to keep that information to yourself knowing what was taking place. There was something you said that really resonated with me - it was around that you didn't care what Gretchen was doing but to just not lie about it. That's important. It says "I'm not judging you, just don't lie to me." That's what friends are supposed to do, support each other, not judge, and respect each other, not lie. Best wishes to you and your family. That which doesn't kill us, makes us stronger... or so they say : )

For having all those kids and being older than Gretchen, I think you are 100% the hottest housewife!!!

Tamra,
You are amazing. Perfect body and face after having FOUR kids!!! Just amazing!!! Love you and Vicky!!

Tamra
Reading your blog makes me want to start liking you again. You seem more understanding and compassionate. When we see you with your kids and husband, you seem totally balanced and loving. That Tamra is much more attractive.

You are so pretty! I'm glad at least you seen Gretchen for what she really is.

Tam,
You are great and all I call you is my BEBE girl! It seems like everything you wear I have and bought from BEBE. You are beautiful, a great mom and wife. I admire you and I wish you and your family the best and you will make it through this horrible time in our economy!

take a step back and look @ the situation between u & Gretchen. whether these things are true or not, the right decision or not, dont let them turn you into a bitter angry person. the more negativity and anger you hold onto the less control you have over your own happiness. you dont have to be friends, but be adults and classy ladies and let things go. also remember when you look for faults in people you open yourself & your family up for judgment. no one is perfect & you can't control every1 in ur family. if they were ever to make a series of bad choices would you forgive them & let that part of their life pass?

SO TRUE!!! Tamra MAKES the show. Without her we would just be watching Lynne with her cuffs, Vicky with her boring trips and Gretchen with ..... um....whohever having a garage sale. Can you say BORING!!!! Without Tamra it would be like (in the words of Bethanny) watching paint dry! Tamra you are the glue that holds this show together. Bravo knows that and that is why they hipe up the fight. We know the score. We love you Tamra and your little babies are adorable. Good Luck with all.

WORD, "viewer in NC"! Drama = fun for us watching.

Any of these bloggers who say anything neg. about you need to get a life. They know they love the drama or they wouldn't be watching in the first place! Keep it up, T!!

Hi Tamra,
First I would like to say, please just put everything aside and behind between you and Gretchen. I think Gretchen is REAL, she's not lying. She's just a very spontaneous person. I believe you both can be good friends because you both are fun.

And I have gone through what you and Gretchen has gone through. Like when you said, you dont want to hang around with Gretchen because she has a bad reputation. Yes, I do have a friend that has a bad reputation, but I still hang around with her sometimes, and we're still friends. It's not my business to step and judge her life. I just worry about myself. And help her through that. You know what I mean? And im only 18 years old, I hope you get to talk to Gretchen for you both to set things aside. :)

What I like about you is the fact that you were not scared to show the world your financial story and made a smart decision to scale down when you needed to.

I think you are very beautiful. Your pictures from your photo diary are soooooo adorable. I love the pics from when you two were younger. I think you are even more beautiful now.

go TAMRA! u tell her girl ! u have so many ppl supporting you

Hey Viv, seems Tamra has more comments than old Gretchy. Me thinks not so many like her too much any more so you have about a few that will post. Not so much about the comments. Maybe the people who watch have better things to do than sit and post on a reality show. I myself am one of them. Fortunately I have a lunch period. Go Tamra. You do what you gotta do girl. Everything comes out in theend.You are so funny. We love you in San Diego!!!!

WONDERFUL BLOGGING TAMRA!!! You stayed SO Positive I LOVE IT!!!

Ps.. I tell Dave ALL the time... "When i married MR. RIGHT, I didnt realize his 1st name was ALWAYS!!! LMAO You know Dave & I have been going threw the SAME Struggles & It's been so hard on him & I & I RESPECT you for letting All your Fans know how REAL YOu REALLY ARE!!!!
Hugs & Blessings to you!!!

Tamra, I think you are one of the only honest ones on the show. I love when you "address" issues rather than pretending things don't exist (such as internet photos of a certain Housewife!) Your financial troubles are temporary, and when the market recovers for all of us, you and Simon will always have a better relationship than most people. Keep it real! Love ya!

I think you and gretchen would have a great time together because you both like to have fun, so i think you two need to put the past behind you... as far as her relationship with jeff i believe that was between her and jeff even though i honestly believe they loved eachother it showed when they were alone together.

You should see the struggles everyone is going through, Please.... yours is not that bad, Just when you think you got it BAD look around my friend.When you move out of your beautiful home your still going to move into another beautiful home..You don't know what hard times are yet until your on the streets...
You get out what you put in ...it is true so listen to my advise here..
You should help out this year a a homeless shelter and really see that alot of good people have it bad..You need to focus on doing work for GOD and forget about Gretchen... it is so old with you two.You and her act like school girls..PLEASEEE!! Move on my friend to doing GOOD things..

All I can say is, Tamara, I'm glad I'm not on TV so that e very aspect of my life can be scrutinized by the public!

Oh!!! And dont let it get you down that you dont have asmany comments as some other HWs. I work like 12 hrs a day and so do many of my other friends who like watching you. We just dont usually have time to post here but we make time to watch!

Gotta admit I don't always agree with you or even understand you but I ALWAYS am entertained when I watch you hehe Keep it up, Tamra.

I think some stress between your husb. and yourself has to do with the campaign you took up against Gretchen. You might be right about her but it doesn't matter. Adults have to live their own lives whether you approve or not. Trying to out her only made you look more crazy than the situation she was involved in. I think how you behaved only embarrassed your husband the more. I think he really just wanted you to be able to handle yourself more respectfully.

Tamra,

I've never really watched your show much until the end of last season, but I think I would understand the basis of your friendship with Lynne.

As you know, everyone goes through difficult times--and it's now your turn. But that's how we develop our REAL strength--in our family, in our friends, and in our faith in God.

You're a smart lady--you're starting to assess things before you speak. And Gretchen's fakeness is clear to many. So don't apologize for being so astute. It's just a matter of time before Lynne wisens up to Gretchen's ways. And it's a matter of time before you wisen up to Vicki.

Afterall, you can't "act" if you don't really know how to react. (Seriously. How long did you think Gretchen would actually mourn for Jeff?! And do you think Vicki would loan YOU money if you and yours truly needed it?!)

Gretchen's just going on the offensive to gain a few points (with others), but that's only in the short-term. You have some serious responsibilities--a family to take care of for the long haul (i.e., actual human beings), so don't apologize for that. EVERYONE has their ups & downs.

Just beware of any "fair weather friends". Enough said.

FIRST OFF LET ME SAY I LOVE YOU AND THE ENTIRE CAST. IF YOU DONT LIKE GRETCHEN WHY DO YOU KEEP GIVING HER THE ENGERY TO FEED OFF OF. I AM NOT CHOOSING SIDES BUT IT WOULD SEEM THAT YOU TWO ARE ALWAYS AT WITH NO RESOULUTION. I DON'T THINK IT MAKES EITHER ONE OF YOU THE WINNER. IF SHE IS NO LONGER INVOLVED WITH JAY HE SHOULDN'T BE HARRASSING YOU ANY LONGER. SO WHAT SHE DOES WITH HER LIFE IS HER OWN. SHE IS YOUNG AND IMMATURE ON SOME LEVELS BUT SHE HAD TO HAVE SOMETHING GOING FOR HER IF SHE LANDED JEFF AND HIS FAMILY'S APPROVAL. YOU WERE FRIENDS AT FIRST SHE WAS PUT INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON FIGURE IT OUT AND MOVE ON. YOU ARE MY FAVORITE HOUSEWIFE OF ORANGE COUNTY, I KNOW YOU ARE GOING THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES BUT YOU ARE BLESSED WITH YOU HUSBAND AND CHILDREN. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON SMALL PETTY THINGS AND PEOPLE LIFE IS TO SHORT. YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL INTELLIGENT HARDWORKING WOMAN WHO I WOULD SEE AS A ROLE MODEL FOR A LOT OF YOUNG LADIES STARTING TO MAKE THEIR MARK IN THE WORLD. YOUR STORY IS ONE THAT LOTS OF YOUNG LADIES CAN RELATE TO. SO CONTINUE TO HOLD YOUR HEAD UP AND REMEMBER TO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED.

Tamra,How do your struggles compare with what people around the world are going through? Maybe comparative O.C.residents, but not the world. Reading the blogs, I think, maybe someone will have a jolt of REALITY and honestly see how they are portrayed on the show. Never happens. Case in point, you are getting into the real estate business at the same time Jeanna has taken 2/3 cut in her real estate income. Is something wrong with this picture? I will tune in again this week,but it appears the O.C.Housewives have had their run,and the viewers are tired.

Hey Tamra! I just wanted to tell you how truly amazing & brave it is to share your financial struggles with america! I am only 22 so I don't know much but I know it is tough, & I cried when you started crying in that last clip. I love you, & I love watching you...you're the best & I think it is great to show everyone that even the people with lots of money have struggles as well! I hope everything is better :)
love you :)

Glad to see you are finally growing up. It was nice to read a more postive blog and you kept it focused on you and not on Gretchen. Keep it that way and you will be more respected.

Keep your head up Tamra :) A lot of us are going through hard times.

Just stick to being more positive in all your dealings, Tamara and it will pay off I promise!:))

NOTE TO EVERYONE POSTING! Her name is Tamra, not Tamara or Tamera. TAM-RA. Tamra. It drives me nuts when people spell my name wrong. Tamra, does it bother you??

Just wanted to say I looove the pic of you above... it reminds me of Victoria beckham in a good way.
