To Vicki, I see how you are with the other women on (specifically)season 5....you are a successful lady, independent and a thinker!! Very strong willed and you get things done. Your children are grown and doing very well. You should be proud! It is very hard being a strong, vibrant, INDEPENDENT women and surrounding yourself with women that are not weak but rather passive and submissive in their careers and marriages. You are not them.....and they are not you!! Teach them to be tough and strong...they will value that in the long run. It takes an inner confidence to be a teacher and sit calm and set an example!! WHOOO...HOO. You are great!!

Vickie I think your somewhat misunderstood from watching the show I think that your just a hard working independent thinker and woman ,however you really should learn to relax where the other ladies are concerned,if they desire to make crazy decisions let them ,don't let it bother you I found this season by watching that they do make some real stupid decisions I am also a hard worker that had to learn everybody isn't and doesn't think like me let them be them .your the housewife I admire the most .

Vicki,

You have impressed me so much this season. I really feel like something inside of you did change and you have now become my favorite. Your lifestyle and family reminds me of my own and every time you're on now I always get a good happy laugh.

I have to admit though, I was writing more in regards to Michael. What a cutie! Just saying but I'm 23 and dateless still for Valentine's Day so I wouldn't be opposed to you trying to hook me up w/ him. You always set Briana up so this time, help a girl out and put in a good word for me with your son. I know we would hit it off :) haha

Wish you all the best in 2010!

I think that you & your Husband are Great. You worked for your marriage and made it work and now your more in Love then ever before.
You made me laugh tonight with all that went wrong at dinner... I had a bird crap onmy head ones its SOOOOO GROSS. My Husband & I were walking threw a flea market and these birds flew over and I said to him I hope they don't crap on us. Seconds later I feel something on my head. He says HOLY CRAP the birds CRAPPED on you. He laughed so hard.. I was TOTALLY GROSSED OUT. Tonights show made me think of it and I laughed so hard.. lol... Love Ya Girl your Great!!

Hi Vicki
I enjoy watching you each week, you are such an inspiration right now. I am unemployed and very aggressive and have so much enegry, and watching you and reading about your Insurance, I believe i have found my drive. I hope to meet you one day, maybe when i am ahead of your son on the top selling list( I am very aggressive)
Your great Vicki. Keep up the Energy, I love it. WOO WOO
P.S. I have emailed Coto for more info tks

Hi Vicki-
I have watched the show since the first season...I look forward to it all year long and finally felt the need to make a comment.
You are lucky to have Donn, he must love you very much because he has stood by you, even when you were a nasty, rotten wife. Treat him well because as we can all see...you have no friends and can not keep friends..that speaks volumns. What you do & say about everyone else only shows how shallow a person you really are...kindness is a way of life, not in the spur of the moment to make you feel better about yourself!

If I had been in your position in Florida with the guys showing up, i would have been pissed. I think the men were disrespectful to you and to their wives. I cherish that you cherish Don so much because he TRUSTS you and lets you be who you are. My husband is the same way and he's amazing. We are also so in love because of that trust and the ability to do things together and a part. You were wronged and I would find other women that are more confidant and don't have crazy husbands who are so insecure that they have to tag along on a girls night. Seriously, what do we do other than talk about them and laugh a lot and maybe go dancing. We really have girls night to hang with the girls, not to go guy trolling.

Vicki,
It was really nice to see you and Donn renew your vows. If I were you, I would not take him for granted. He's nice inside and out, and I'll just betcha Jenna is waiting for you to make the wrong move. Value your husband, he may not be perfect, none of us are, but he certainly appears to love and support you in all you aspire to do. Take care & keep your eyes open!

Vicki-
I think you come off as a harsh person who really only cares about money. Look at the great husband you have been blessed with and it seems as though you never truely appreciate him! You say you don't like drama, but somehow you always get involved in the other housewives business! Some of the questions you ask them as well as the comments you say to them are just not called for!!! You need to learn what a true friend is and stop thinking you are the greatest of all the housewives!! Money isn't everything and you act as though it is. You need to stop and think of the other people outside your world and remember some of them cannot even afford shoes or food and stop coming off as someone who just wants to "show off" all your material things!

Vicki,
I have been a fan of the show since it began, I must say...I never really cared for you, you seemed very mean in the past seasons,but this season is different,you are actually my favorite housewife now. You seem to have made an honest change! lovin it!!! As for that one comment made by Simon that ya'll {you and Donn) not being a normal couple, how irritating!! You and Donn have the most normal marriage. He loves and respects you and does not treat you like his property!!! Thats how a marriage should be!!! Love the fact that ya'll renewed ya'lls vows! When you gave him the news over dinner and tears came to his eyes, I started to cry. You have a wonderful husband!!! Love the gift you gave to your employees! I love the new you!!!

P.S. The Girls Trip was a girls trip,totally on your side for the rest of the girls bringing their insecure men!!! I would have been mad too.

I see nothing wrong with you expect , watching the way you treat your husband is so worng. You treat him like he is crap. You need to take time and think about how that must make him feel

I have never written on any blog, but after watching tonights show I was outraged by the insensitive, heartless, spitefull and mean comment made about how she is not in foreclosure, short sale or down sizing. This country is going through a very difficult economic time and has effective the majority of us, unfortunately alot us are losing our homes because we have no job to pay the mortgage. I hope your happy in your big mansion while you look down your nose at the unfortunate ones. You obviously are a person who holds personal objects higher than personal relationships.

You remind me of my friend Anne.I've known her since we were six but we don't talk anymore she went from cool to wierd then now just mean.Anyway you guys look great.
Take Care

Vicki...just wanted to tell you that you're by far, my favorite on the show..... :-) You don't seem fake like the others.... Keep it up Sister!

I was watching the rerun of the episode where Vicki takes Don to Turks and Caicos. I just love this couple over all others. Don is so sweet and he truly loves Vicki with all his heart. THEY ARE A TRUE SUPER COUPLE, GOOD JOB TO VICKI AND DON!! I have to add, Vicki is the most productive and interesting woman on this show.

YOU ROCK VICKY!

I am watching the Florida trip and think ... You rock Vicky! I am happily married, but I enjoy girl's weekends and having great friendships with girlfriends. I love my husband, but I also enjoy having girlfriends that you can always count on. I think you get it and love seeing that real perspective on the show!

As a young woman, I enjoy watching the Housewives because everything is so pretty, blonde, and sparkly- really I do. However, Vicky is an inspiration to me in such that I am really proud of her. Fderom one female to another. Her strength is something I don't see her running from anytime soon; even when the men are bashing on her it hasn't seemed to deter her from holding her own. You go girl. The world needs more empowering women like yrself!

hi vicki although u are not my favorite on the show i really really wanna say that i am so happy to see that you are trying to make your marriage better. I believe he is a wonderful man. And renewing your vows omg i loved it i cried it was beautiful and cried again when don looks at the family photo......AWESOME!!!! And im upset with those wives bringing there controlling husbands to florida my gosh what the hell is that about!!!!!!!!!

I am so happy you are taking more trips and having more fun in life! Making money is good, but not enjoying your effort and hard work, is silly. You really seem to be more centered and happy. I think it's great cause you are a great gal!!! Keep the love tank full!

What online poker site does your son use? I would like to try it but I'm not sure which one to pick. Thanks

Hi Vicki-

Im glad you are reconnecting with Donn. What a nice guy. I know you never know what goes on behind closed doors, but I hope you continue to focus on living life and less about snarky opinions about others life. Its so much more attractive to see you focusing on your family and husband.

I feel really sad for Tamra and I hope that she counts on you for a lot of support. You would be a great example for her of someone who had come close to divorce but managed to fight back stronger than ever. I hope they can do the same.

Just a general comment---I was unsure where to post it: Why does Lauri Waring-Peterson's name keep coming up on the credits as part of the cast recently when she is no longer on the show?

I REALLY LIKE THE FAITH TANK THAT YOU WEAR ON THE SHOW. WHERE CAN I BUY ONE? THANKS!

I agree!

Hi Vicki
I am just now catching up on the "girls trip" show and I don't know why the other wives don't understand what a girls weekend is. My girlfriends and I have at least one girls weekend a year and if one of them ever brought their husband (or even suggested it), they would be banned for life!
Thanks for a great show, it makes my week!

I am glad to see you are doing what you can to better your marriage, I am hoping this means in the future we will see you focusing more on your life and not worrying so much about everyone elses.

Vicki! Girl if i lived in Coto and wasn't a lady with morals i would so try to take Donn. You lucky lady! lol But, yeah next time don't TP your supposedly good friends house unless you help clean it up. Not cool hun.

Hi Vicki-

Where did you get the salad bowl/pedestal from the slumber party dinner on "Let Bygones be Bygones"? I'd love to give one as a wedding gift to a close dear friend, if possible.

You and Don look great this season. Congratulations on keeping it real!

Lara

The trip to FL would've been a great one without the men feeling they needed to (yes, I mean they needed to, couldn't let go) push their way in and start their controlling of the situation.

If that had been my BF or husband, I would've been humiliated that I couldn't go somewhere without him, without a keeper, a watcher, as if I were a child.

The slumber party was fun! Everyone had a good time, it seemed, but I thought they would all hunker down in sleeping bags on the floors and watch movies or something at the end. Guess everyone would rather go back to their own beds. Hope THAT was their idea and not their husbands'.

I just watched the vow renewal and I appreciate the redemptive message it had. While we as viewers don't know your whole story, it seems like you've been down a long road filled with pain, betrayal and suffering. While the issues you've experieced in your marriage are none of our business, it would be helpful to know what the breaking point was and how you pulled things back together to get to the place you are now. So many people need help. Case in point, a few minutes after we watched your ceremony, your friend, Tamara, expressed to her mom that her marriage is failing. Hopefully, you will be willing to walk by her side and give her the tools you used to rebuild your marriage when it was at a similiar breaking point. We could all use such a friend.

Hi Vickie -- Just wanted to say I like you and I like Don. My guess is that you guys are the REAL ones. Not sure about the others -- although I do like Tamra and Gretchen. I have to admit that in the first season I didn't like you as much but having "gotten to know you" (if you can call it that) I really do like you and wish you the best. Love what you did for your husband in Turks -- he seems like such a nice guy!

Best of luck to you both.

Hi there lady! How is brianna doing? That was so funny that on the show when you went with don that you were saying to yourself that you wanted to hook up the hostess with brianna. I was real suprised that you confronted gretchen for going out with slade but kinda of sad also. And what hurt me the most is that you and tamara were arguing over simon but I am glad that you 2 over came that on the slumber party that was fun. Did you all clean up afterwards what you all did outside jeanna's front yard?

vicki you are a hard worker and the best one the show, you are a little controling but who isnt... I loved the show with you and Donn. What a good man you have. Keep up the good things with your great kids and family.... what a GREAT FAMILY YOU ALL ARE!!!

i love the show. i've been watching since the first season and will continue as long as the show last. i love your clothes. i'd like to know where you shop . also, i'd really like to have the tank top that you had on when you and don were packing for your vacation. it's black and it has faith written on the front. thanks in advance.

Vicki i must commend you on something. You said at the start of the new season here that you were trying to be a better person.
I'm thinking as you watched the last few seasons, maybe watched a marathon of it one day and you saw yourself. I mean Really Saw yourself. And decided hey - I'm going to be better. You were able to call a spade a spade and not just that - but DO something about it.
and that takes a lot of determination and class. We all have faults. all of us. But to see you do your best to change them was Great to see.

And i know you must have heard a bunch of negative stuff about how you controlled the whole renewing of the vows trip, and people criticized you for pointing out the size of the carats and diamonds etc etc.

But I think i got it - you've just spent an enormous amount of time working non-stop, making money making more money and you thought to yourself "How can I in a way, start over with Don". And when you were saying "this ring is this big and worth this much"... I think I heard the same thing Your husband heard.."That I LOVE YOU this much". A sweet moment where you showered him the way most men do their new brides. This was Your turn. You planned every detail - you bought the diamond - you - for him - and i know if "I" got it, that he got it too.

So please.. that's what matters. That was the point, yes? So please don't take to heart any thing but what you know in yours to be true.

and i hope you weren't falling in love AGAIN - but simply finding it again.

You are by far my favorite housewife out of all! My friends and I are obsessed with the O.C. show and woo hoo every time we have drinks,lol. We live in south Florida and go to college in Fort Lauderdale, we just about died when we saw you all were by our school! If you get a chance to come back I suggest Boca Raton. Beautiful place, fabulous shopping and dining!

I LOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEE YOU!!!
I am 26 years old and your are absolutely my favorite housewife of the whole franchise!
I am from Joliet Illinois and you totally remind me of home and the moms from that area!!
You are a FABOLOUS mother!The best mother on the RH's shows! Anyone veiwer would have to be blind,deaf and heartless to see that you love them so much! Selflessness is a refreshing quality to see on this show!! You really know whats important in life and really live your life to the fullest! You have a great spirit are willing to learn from challanging experiences in your life! You are so young at heart!

The most special part of your life that you shared with the veiwers is that you and Don, my boyfriends fav. husband and mine as well, went through a tough patch but you fought and didnt give up like some of us would have anmd now it looks like you are more in love then EVA!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Michael is soooo cute and reminds me of my brother!
Brianna is like my girlfriends!
You have done a great job!

Vicki,

I just registered on the Message Board to find out where Brianna went to have sushi in a recent episode. I assume it's in Orange County? Can you help me out? I'd like to bring a group of fun friends there for my husband's 50th. Thank you for appreciating Don. He's our favorite husband on our Foothill Ranch street! Gives you space to be a strong woman!

Vikkie,

It looked lke you girls had a good time. The tp-ing i wish i thought of that.As for your son, its nice to see that he found this groove. I also wanted to say that I hope you and Don have a very happy life together.

Vicki,

I'm glad your brother made it! I've watched your show since the very beginning and you're definitely my favorite. You've got your shyt together and speak your mind - and you have a good mind. I'm from Texas and I know that Texas has a "housewife" on your show, but she certainly does not represent how ladies in Texas carry themselves! Please be good to Don - he loves you - it's so obvious!

Hi Vicki!

I have been a avid fan of your show since it started. The OC girls are the only fun ones to watch, but will admit that I haven't been a fan of yours until this season. I am so happy for you on the changes that you have made in your life. You really do seem much more happy, calm and at peace.

I cried at th episode where you and Don re-newed your vows what a special trip for you both! So good to see as you said a marriage where both partners respect each other, and don't dictate to each other, thank you for showing us all this side of you!

Slade is a snake. Gretchen will have to learn that lesson for herself. It was totally disrespectful for the men to come along on the fun Girls Weekend YOU planned. I mean WTH? & Simon and Slade saying all those mean things about you?? When they were being so rude and disrespectful to even be there. You took it really well, it would have made me sad too.

Just so happy see a strong independent, loving, smart women on this show!! Sad about Tamra's separation/divorce, but she can do way better than Simon. Any man that trys to control you is not good news. Actually they are all like that except Don. Btw all my girlfriends LOVE Don! He would win the favorite Husband award on the show for sure. You have a great man there so wonderful you get to spend the rest of your life with him, and he you!! ; )

Not that anyone believes that psychic crap, but that "psychic guy" Dougall was a joke. He said a few things about your colors & a few things that could pertain to anyone & then he says that's it for the night. LOL.

How much did you PAY him for those few minutes? And WHY? You have too much money to blow. LOL.

I thought it was funny you didn't even know his name.

Hi Vicki, TP'ed jeana's house that was too funny, there is nothing wrong unleashing the inner teenager in all of us especially in these tough times. Donn was so emotional while you guys were renewing your vows, I was crying too. Hang on to donn men like him don't come around too often, I give him credit for swallowing the conk that didn't look too good at all LOL!!! I wish you a happy 2010.

What sites does Michael play on and what are his screen names he plays under.. I would luv to watch and track him when he does play :)

Vicki this year i have feel you have finally let your softer side out, the side you have wanted to show, people are easy to blame you for how you are and i was one of those but you are showing you dont waiver like alot of people do on the show--everyone does to an extent. And as far as you needing to have constant adoration--that isnt unusual we all want to know how we are in the hearts of our loved ones, in your work you have the rewards for your hardwork by the outcome. keep up the vicki we have grown fond of

Vicki you are my favorite..I think your marriage is the most normal one on the whole show..You are a strong independent women who says how it is! The other girls are not used to that and their husbands are not either! So you go girl and I love your husband, he is such anice guy!

Aloha Vicki

As a single mom who has raised all 3 of my children alone - I totally admire you. I think your very bright and caring - and I love the way you put things into perspective. Every strong woman has to deal with her own demons - and I think you are making real progress in dealing with yours.

You are a fabulous business woman - a loving and devoted mother - and a very loyal fried. For you to expect the same from your so called OC housewive friends is not unrealistic but sadly - I think 3 out of the 4 other ladies don't have a clue as to what is real and what is a fantasy

Don is a wonderful man - and I am so glad to see that you have re-discovered just how perfect he is. Being a man is all about allowing your significant other to be all that they can be - and he allows you to do just that.
I think you both realize just how lucky you are to have each other.

You are a shining star - and I feel that you and Lynne are the 2 ladies that have your selves together.
Keep up the excellent work - and believe me - there is nothing wrong with you at all. You are an inspiration.
aloha..

I admire your success and would love to more about your history with Don and your career. You said in one show that you had nothing when you married and couldnt afford a nicer ring. How did you two find each other/or shall i say meet? what were you doing before you married Don for a career and what was he doing? Then how did you take it from that point to where you are now. Please give us your history. Do we have to whoo hooto be as successfull as you are?

The T peeing was funny..... minus Tamara's comments. Her comments made the event seem mean.

Vicki, I was so moved by your vow renewal. I love the relationship that Donn and you have now. The other marriages on the show are not ideal, unless you're the husbands. Thanks for being a normal couple in that crazy situation. You and Gretchen are the only reasons I watch. I wish you both could become friends. You both say what's on your mind and are the only ones who aren't back stabbers. You say what you think and an honest person would appreciate that way of life. Keep your marriage your priority and you and Donn will be great. He loves you and that was obvious on your anniversary. He may not be super affectionate but he loves you the way he knows how best. He's a keeper don't let any of the haters tell you otherwise.
