I just wanted to start off by saying thank you so much to Brian Malarkey for all he did for us. The meal was as amazing as his personality! I would also like to say congratulations on your new baby. I remembered Brian from Top Chef and actually met him and his lovely wife at the Project Runway fashion show in New York last year. Simon and I were both so excited about working with him. Thanks again to Brian and his team. The food was amazing!
I was actually looking into etiquette classes for my kids and came across Naomi's class and thought it would fun. I have never claimed to be high society and I'm not about to try now! Simon always teases me on my "Tamra style" of doing things. I am a no-frills type of person. I don't need 10 plates and 10 glasses and fancy napkins to have a meal. I do know there is a time and place for it though. Things to me are black and white and I tend not to sugar coat most things. I understand how that can rub people the wrong way. The one great thing about being on this show is that you get to see yourself from the outside. You have two options, you can use what you've learned about yourself to improve or you can ignore it. I think it has been a learning experience for each of us and we will all walk away as better people than when we came into this.
Overall I did find Naomi's class to be interesting, but I still hold my fork in my right hand.

Tamra, First, THANK YOU!! The first thing you said to me was "I Love Your Outfit!" You are the best!!!! I know you were sincere in your compliment (I wont tell you how, haha) but you always speak the truth whether good or bad. Which I love!! You are REAL!! Out of all the housewives, YOU are the most normal. It was great to see you at the Target Fireworks in Detroit, atop the roofing garage. The view of Detroit and Canada together is amazing and I am glad you were here to take in the wonders of Detroit. The fireworks were amazing, but the most memorable part of my night was meeting you and getting a picture with you, that you were so gracious to agree too! Your a GEM! You looked absolutely fabulous!
I have to say, I was extremely happy that YOU were the Housewife in Detroit that night, and NOT one of the other ladies. I'm afraid if one of the other ladies were there, they would have NEVER been as classy as you are.
Thank you so much for the picture and compliments! So many people there were extremely happy and excited to see you. You looked very classy and beautiful.
What a pleasure to meet you and experience how very nice you are in person as well as on the show. You also are prettier in person than on the show.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
IT WAS THE BEST!!!!
Tamara,
I have been watching this show since the begining, and after tonights show I went on the internet to see the "infamous" pictures of Gretchen. Looks like a drunk young woman with bad judgement when she's drunk. I can understand a slip in judgement. What I really found disgusting is the way you got her drunk at your house and then laughed at your guest as she stumbled around and fended off your son. Tamara stop trying to make trouble with others, leave judgement of their "sins" to someone or something else. The ugliness inside you just oozes and can be seen coming from your eyes. Make your life happy and fulfilling and you will have less time to revel in other peoples misery. Shame on you, you're too old to be acting like a mean girl in Jr. High. Your kids will see this one day, and I will tell you now, this is not how I would ever want to see my mom.
HI,
I just want to say how much I love the show. I think that no matter what you guys say or do you are always going to have some ding bat ( NO punt intended LYNN ) twist it to make a problem or make it personal. I hope to see Lynn and Gretchen both gone this season. I thought Lynn brought nothing to the show and well Gretchen hmmmm lets just say her morals seem to be in the wrong place. THANKS Tamra for having the guts to tell it like it REALLY is.... no sugar needed.
ps... The fork thing just it with your paws...that will give em something to talk about huh?
Keep up the great work you are wonderful
Tamra,
I think that you're great. We all have our faults & I'd hate to see what a camera would catch me saying or doing if I was being filmed. I know somebody who was being filmed all the time, & after a while you can forget that the camera's there he said. Gretchen is a big girl & being in her 30's has no excuse or you to blame for her getting drunk. I was so tired of her using Jeff's illness for sympathy. I know that the show probably doesn't show any of the good because that would be boring. I believe that you were sincere in your apology about the "end reunion" show. Sometimes it has to take one watching themselves, to realize what they did or said was wrong or mean. When there's a bunch of beautiful women put together, there's bound to be some jealousy, but I don't believe that you were jealous of Gretchen's beauty when you confronted her about her family friend/stalker/ex boyfriend. I think you look beautiful, especially for being in your 40's, having 4 kids, & agreeing that what you did was ugly & that you were going to change. That's class.
I love this show much to my husbands disgrace. The dinner party episode was my favourite because it reminded me so much of myself and friends (especially after a few drinks). Girls keep up the great work - this is my favourite show and love watching you all because your life is so far removed from mine. To all those people that are disgraced at Tamras behaviour "GET OVER IT", turn the TV off if it disgusts you that much.
Lov'n reality TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does everyone blame Tamra for Gretchen's behavior? Gretchen acts this way in almost every episode if you watch closely. She is loud, crude, and a giant flirt with everyone. She's always drinking and calling attention to herself. She would have acted this way whether Tamra made that comment or not. Gretchen asked for most of the drinks. No one poured them into her. She was crass and crude with her seductive comments/gestures about the food even before she was drunk!! She flirts with every man. Had Ryan not been there, she'd have continued to flirt with the husbands. Why everyone defends Gretchen's behavior through the season has always been beyond me. She's s user for attention/sympathy.
Based on this episode, I have determined that you are VERY immature and more than likely VERY envious of Gretchen. What "friend" treats a friend in that manner? Grow up, Tamra!
You should be ASHAMED of yourself!! Do you watch each episode?? I have never seen a more pathetic, jealous, fake, person in all my life. I am done with this show between you and Vicky you have turned this show into what used to be an amusing look at women who think they are "all that" to a stomach turning horrible portrayal of women. I can't believe either one of you would want your daughters seeing and learning that how you both act is at all something to look up to. Shame Shame to you both!!
"CLASS" is NOT about "fancy" dinner plates & forks & napkins.
In fact, educated & people who possess this "class" you speak of, would never EVER even use the word.
Elegance & Grace are the "essence" of a person who possesses that which you erroneously think is obtainable thru "objects", money and designer tags.
You, my Dear, are not only on the wrong track, you denote a person whose COME from the wrong side of the tracks.
Your behavior turns the stomach. I had to adjust my color TV to compensate for the sickly green color of your skin tone.
But that's okay. I could hear the negative karma coins clicking all the way here on the East Coast. I wish you much luck when it's your turn and time to cash in.
I'm glad that you all live in a "gated community". At least I feel more secure that people like you are not let loose on the world at large.
I'm glad that both you & that embarrassingly loud and obnoxious Icki Vicki stay within the confines of your overpriced poorly constructed cheezy worlds. Where women celebrate being without pride but with do not the possess the restraint of extreme prejudice.
As for your "Etiquette" Class -
