I’m sorry for the delay in getting my final blog posted, as it has been an extremely busy time for me with all of my work travels. I am in Seattle right now and just finished my meeting with Amazon.com this morning. The weight loss Duzoxin product I am endorsing will be on the Amazon website within the next week or so which is very exciting. Jeana is looking fabulous and losing weight on this as well as myself and other friends. I love it because it doesn’t make me feel any different as other supplements have in the past and it’s very easy to take.

It’s always tough to sit on a couch for 10 hours recapping all the embarrassing moments that happened during this season.

I thought the reunion show turned out fairly well. It’s always tough to sit on a couch for 10 hours recapping all the embarrassing moments that happened during this season. I tried to stay a little bit out of the radar in answering my questions from Andy, as I felt this season was a little bit tougher on me than others in the past and I wanted to end on a good note. There were so many times that I filmed my business, my kids and great moments on the cruise with my son working which wasn’t shown this year. Unfortunately the editing chose to film me in conflict with some of the other ladies, which is was a VERY small part of my life, versus the most important part of my life which is my family and work. On the cruise when I was hosting my workshops, the rooms were full with over 65 agents and the editing made it look like there wasn’t anyone there, which wasn’t the case. There were many moments when Michael was helping me put up signs and pass out our gift bags, but they chose to show the one part where Mike was not choosing to help me out. I think anyone that blogs or emails any of us that is judgmental, you have to remember if you were being followed with a camera for 4-5 months, I’m sure they would capture some embarrassing moments of you as well as they have on all of us.

Vicki,

I am so happy that you and Don are working things out. You make such an adorable couple, and all marriages need work! Being a business woman myself, I'm inspired by your dedication and drive to be successful! I do wish all the housewives would put forth the effort in establishing their own identity/career as opposed to riding their husbands coat tails... we all know how quickly that can change! A woman must always be able to support herself and her children!!

On a side note, you seem to be that person that "doesn't trust you before they do" which I think sometimes can make us bitter. Please keep an open mind, and realize that not everyone can be just like you. At times, you've said hurtful things about others, and I wonder where its coming from. I honestly don't think you're an insecure person, so why do you feel the need to put others down? Keep it classy Vicki! You've worked too hard for your career, and your family to allow your opinions of others to damage your reputation. Remember, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

And as for Tamra, what is up with her??? She needs to stop worrying about everyone elses actions and focus on her own. Some of things that appear to work her up on the show, doesn't even affect her. She's beautiful and has way too much going for her to let Gretchen's actions upset her!

Best wishes!

Hello Vicky,
I am so happy to know that you guys are working hard on your marriage. I was so sadden to watch the many times during the previous season on how far apart you guys grew. I know how that feels. But I was so happy to see the first episode. This is what life is all about, working hard but never forgetting that you have a fabulous family. My husband and I started dating when I was 17 y/o and now I am 42 y/o and he is 49 and are constantly working on our relationship. I am happy that we just celebrated our 25th year together. Keep is up and God Bless You and Yours!

Vicki,

I love you and you are hillarious. But can I please give you some advice? You are way way to judgemental and extremely rude. I just watched the reunion special and was disgusted at you. Be a little more classy and show the true Vicki side that we all love.

I LOVED the first episode with you & your hubby having fun cleaning the back yard...And what you said is absolutely right! It's not just YOUR Love-Tank, it's about his too!
You are one smart woman! Just be nice to the new girl, OK?

Mrs. Vicki,
Since reunions are about remembering, i would like to go back to the show where you went to visit your son allll the way @ college, brought him beer and wanted to hang out with him etc. I would like to tell you how amazing you are. My mom never came to any athletic events or even to my new home lol, ever! I watched how your son somewhat seemed bummed that you were there and literally cried. I wish my mother was half as cool as you and your children are so lucky to have a mother concerned enough to want to be a part of their life. You are the neatest of the housewives and by far the coolest! Thanks for being who you are, and even tho im not your kid, i still get a kick seeing you party down! WOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!

Don't worry about thinking the show made you look bad by only showing small parts. You are a classy woman. Hopefully we won't have to see much more of Gretchen. She is such a piece of trash. Don't know what rock they dug her out from under, but they need to put her back there. She is giving the show a bad name. Can't wait for the new season---hopefullu minus the "trash"!!!!

vicki, i think you have a great heart, but i feel you to high strung. And i don't think that bashing gretchen or talking behind any of the housewives backs isn't professional. And i think that you should just bite your tongue and leave you opinions to yourself, It won't make anything better, but i do like you as a strong successful woman,but calling people gold diggers and gossip isn't nice and not a good friend.

Vicky,

At Gretchen party you kept saying that she loves the attention and she does anything to focus it on herself and it is sicken to you. Don't you think that you were doing the same to her at her party? You kept telling everone about your new watch. I think you told every and anyone that would listen. In my opinon you like being the star of the show and you were just mad that at that moment the spotlight was not on you.

When i started watching the show i just thought you where such a inspiration to all women but this last season i found your self esteem was very low and that it was almost like you belittle people to make your self look good i hope this season your not like.

Keep smiling you're a fun person. You work hard at everything you do and never take anything for granted. I like the way you’re guarded with new people and size them up first before you choose to befriend them or not. It tells a lot about the strong character to you have.

I hope that the way you were potrayed last season doesnt stop you from coming back next season! You are one of my favorite housewives and you and Jena are the only two left out of the original cast. People should not judge your from this season alone. I think past seasons have shown your nurtioring caring side much better than this last season. But in the end what we were seeing is you sticking up for yourself and letting your opions be known! There were a couple of... "different" cast members this season and Im sure it cant be easy to have people thrown in your lives and your told or made to spend time with them wethere you want to or not and that will always cause conflict and I feel like people need to take that into consideration!
Anyway you are one of my favorite housewives of all time and I truly hope to see you back on more seasons to come!

Vicki-
I am interested in how you got started in the insurance buisness I think that it is very exciting and would love to get some tips on how to get started. I have been going to school for two years and have recieved my associate in Business Computer Science but not sure were to go from here. I admire how strong willed you are and I value your mothering skills. I am a single parent of a two year old daughter and she is running me wild. How did you deal with the terrible two's everyone i know tells me it only gets worse when they hit three and I almost start crying any information or words or guidance would be so valued.
thanks for your time and i really enjoy the show.

I do love the show and yes I do understand that they dont show it all be they have shown you and Tammy being mean and they also showed where you and tammy anr 2 facest and let me just say that its really sad you and tammy get mad about what one person said or does but yet you do the same and at times your just plain mean But yet I have also have seen this very nice side of you and that is the side that means the most not the fact that your husbund cant buy you something and you say ooI realy dont wont to tell people that I got this or that for myself . how do you think he feels ? and if you say he dont care will your not tilling the truth or he is not standing up and saying how he trully feels . I would also like to know why are you sooooo needy OMG that makes a person sick!!
o'and buy the way all these people on here saying how much they love you will there full of crap There just saying this because they wont a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
I do hope you enjoy this lil note.

Vicki,
I have noticed your downs seemed to more present than your ups this season. I am sure it maybe due to Tamara. Not a big fan of her. Try and stay further away from her and move back to Jeana. Take Gretchen under your wing and not push her under the bus.
On a better note:
My husband has been part of the Army Nurse Core for 30 years. He is proud to service our country and loves being an RN. Currently he is in Afghanistan for the next year or so. I know it is scary to see your daughter go but you will both will view things differently when she has completed her training and tour of duty. Good luck and God speed.

Vicki, you're a great mom to your kids and I appreciate your success. It's worth admiring, however, I feel like you need to grow up when it comes to judging others (including Gretchen). You and Tamra were vicious, disgusting in every sense of the word. On that I feel I need to comment. You could have handled it differently. You don't seem like a bad person. Don't turn into Tamra.

Vicki,
I would like to say thank you for being a great role model for me. I am currently in the military and I'm thinking of starting some type of business of my own. I have a couple of ideas but don't know where to start. Everytime I get discourage I just think of you and Jeana and remember with hard work and determination we ladies will conquer in anything we set our minds too. Keep being sweet and successful and maybe one day we will meet in the business world.

I thought that you were great in season 1. Although a little quircky, a successful woman that could hold her own. As time has passed I am not very impressed with your social or people skills. You are the one that is judgemental... And if you don't want to be judged by strangers, stop putting your life on television! (Maybe you're not smarter than Lynn)

I greatly admire your success, it is impressive to say the least. But, this last season you seemed very bothered by Gretchen. You should know that you're not in the same league, she's a young woman who has a long way to go before achieving even half of what you've accomplished. You're a beautiful lady but you're old enough to be her mom, you should really think about being more of a mentor to her insteadd of seeming threatened by her.

You and tamara are so free spirited and have bigg hearts,you teach others how 2 be a parent and also that a freespirit is whats also important.Rember you got the whole worlds love

I really wish that you would try to be kinder and more welcoming to Lynne, Vicki. She trys very hard to get along with the group and you seem to bash her quite often. I also have the tendancy to leave people out because we're not the same "type" of people, but it only hurts me in the long-run. If all you Housewives would just love each other instead of hating on each other for television, the world would be a much happier place.

I loved your interview with Andy and Briana and the interns!! They had some great questions. That guy/intern that Andy was trying to match Briana with was so handsome and sweet!! As far as Albie ( NJ housewife kid)..?? Yikes!! You would be nutso getting involved with that NJ/totally Italian close knit family.. Not your style at all. And, Briana is too independent for a family like that!! She is certainly too smart and independent to get into a family that is so extrmemly close and the women stay home and take care of everything while the men work?? Not Briana's style..esp, if he opens his "strip club/car wash"??? Whew!! I can imagine the tension/drama with that!! There's another show in itself!! ha-ha Can't wait to see you next season. You seem happier and calmer than ever!! I hope that your time off and your kids growth has strengthened your marriage and your nerves. You raised two wonderful kids and your empty nest should afford you more time with don. he is a sweetie and you are lucky. Have fun together and rekindle those old fires!! I am VERY disappointed to hear that Greedy Gretchen will be back? I cannot believe that Bravo has the nerve to do this. Her fake story is soooo over!! And, we really don't want to see Slade back!!!!!!!!!!! They belong on another network with the younger, skanky shows...not a "housewife" show!!!

Vicki,

You do say that we need to put ourselves in your shoes and see that if someone was taping our lives, we wouldn't always be shown in the best light. True, yet there is a big difference....there is no other way to show that you truly feel that being an OC housewife for the show is a sorority that you must pay your dues to be a part of the group? What? Gretchen and Lynn were only nice and you had your mind made up AND openly stated that "they just need to not come on too strong" because you weren't sure you were ready to like them yet.

WOW, not a "mean" girl? Really?

Tammy

Vicki, I love your strength, determination and opinionated manner (most of the time). Like most other fans, I think Tamra has a serious problem & she's bad medicine for you. What does she have other than a fantastic husband? She has to bring others down in order to make herself feel better & you're allowing her to bring you down. Rise to the top, you're strong, you can put her in her place & she needs it - BAD. She's jealous of Gretchen (youth, beauty, etc) and she's working you to team with her. Yeah, I agree that Lynne is in lala land much of the time, but she's harmless and would probably make a more genuine friend than Tamra could ever dream of being. I know it's impossible for others to know what goes on between two people and their relationship, but Don seems like a wonderful man. Try to rediscover him and maybe you'll find what you're looking for. He seems pretty damn awesome to you & good men are hard to find.

Ok, so i forgot where i left off!! LOL!!! The whole point i'm trying to make here is that I love seeing how you thrive to become successful. I want 2 have eventually what you've already succeded: a thriving career, beautiful childeren (already have 1) , a marriage that is commited 2 and still look beautiful!!!! I'm still young (24) so i know that my destiny is still open for me but i have a feeling i'm destined to become something great and from watching you and jeana i believe i'll end up one of ur neighbors 1 day!!! Im the type that likes to work hard to get what i have and you ladies are the exact defination of that statement. Don't listen to all those who are drinking that haterade girlfriend!!! People judge you based off what they see on tv but the thing is NO 1 knows you, NO 1 lives the daily life of "VIKI" therfore in my opinion NO 1 can say sh*t 2u about u, ur relationship or ur parenting skills. Not only that when are people going to stop being so judgemental n recgonize the the bad qualities in there own lives. But i guess if people did do that they'd have nothing to say on these blogs!!! All I know that if i were to become something prosperous i'd have to think you for getting me there!!! Knowing you went from nothing to having all that you have your a great inspiration and should be praised for all your hard work!!!

Vicki,

I first off want to start off by saying that the original cast of Real Housewives of Orange County is and always will be my favorite cast. I loved how your season captured the real essance of Hardworking Business women. You and Jeana are true hardworking, mothers and business women and i think all the HATERS should start recgonizing this. If you look at the other seasons of Real Housewives, most of the femals that are being shown have what they have because a man came in and swooped them off there feet and saved the day. But that's not the picture i got from you or Jeana. Each n everytime i watch your season i tell my self DAMN i'd love to live just like them. But what people fail to realize is that what u have wasn't just givin to you. Each n every episode your bustin your A** like no other, just to make sure your family has the extra's it's custom to. I don't think you spoil your childeren, u just share your wealth with your family. I would DIE to have an opportunity like your son to thrive in the insurance world and

Vicki - You have always been my favorite OC Housewife....until Season 4. I don't know what happened to you, but you need to get a grip. You treat your husband like crap, and anyone else that does not "dance to your tune!" Wake up! Take a good look in the mirror! You are not perfect, and do not walk on water!

When I first started watching the show you were my favourite housewife, I admired your attitude, fun nature and drive to be successful. All I see now is someone who clearly needs to grow up. You treat your husband like crap and you gang up with Tamra on the other housewives. But it does make good television so props there.. I hope if your back next season I see the Vicki that i first fell in love with :) P.S BE NICE TO LYNN! She may not be as smart as you but she has done nothing but try to get along with the group!

Vicki,
I really admire your work ethic. Starting your own business and making it as successful as you have. However
last season showed a different side of you, not one that I hope we see in the future. Stay away from Tamara, she is really a trouble maker, if you watch the epsiodes you will see how much of a back stabber she is. I think that you are good hearted, you just got caught up with Tamara's
childish acts. Give people a chance, don't be so stand offish to them. I hope your love tank is being filled by Don. You have a wonderful daughter how polite she is and respectful. Your son is alright just spoiled. good luck with the show and the new weight product.

Vicki,
I wanted to cry for you. I have a son and a daughter. My daughter and I are best friends and my son has even told me that he doesn't say I love you back all the time so it will mean more to me when he does and you know what? As sick as it sounds it does. Ha. Thank goodness for my daughter who loves me unconditionally. Sooo I have a son that hurts me too. I grab the crumbs he throws me too. I have no right to judge!!!! But I can't believe your son. The time that you popped in on him may not have been the right thing to do but if I was his girlfriend, I would have run for the hills watching how he treats you! Also what was that cruise all about? Oh my gosh! He was on it to go to the seminars and he was so clueless.
So many other things... like when he was not going to go on the family vacation at the last minute and on and on. Thank God for our daughters!

Hi Vickie, I think you are an amazing business woman to have built up such a successful insurance business. But, I think Tamra is bringing out the worst in you, when it comes to kindness. Meaning you two together are not nice to ppl.

You have brought your kids up to be kind, polite, fair ppl. How would you like it if someone treated them the way you treated Lynne. You would be livid. PPl are different. I thought it was really immature of you and Tamra and not very respectful. You have more class than Tamra, I think. Don't let her drag you down in the mud with her.

Vicki, You were my least favorite HW from OC. The way you treated Gretchen on the final show was appalling! What business was it of yours to humilate her and ask her if she was sleeping with Jay? Who cares already! Gretchen had more class and strength than all of you put together. Gretchen did her best to care for a man that wasn't going to live and you two (you and Tamra) managed to make her into something she wasn't. Handle your life.

Viki I think it is really rude to sit with your laptop and work in front of all your friends in the Limo. They are your friends, enjoy every moment with them. Business and money is not everything in life.

You are too much to handle!!! I like you when you are having a good time.....try to relax more often. I understand you have to work to have the life you want, but everyone should take time off. Dare I say you should leave your laptop at home? Take a chill pill every once in a while. I think you are kind of nutty. Maybe that's why I continue watching. I LOVE YOUR DAUGHTER!!! I think she got the best traits of you and didn't get your worst. I wish you and your family the best. My prayers are with ya'll. Cut Don some slack....he's not perfect and neither are you.

Oh Vicky, you know you never cried about anything that any of the housewives did or said to you! If you've been crying, it's because you are so miserable that you stoop to picking on Lynne and Gretchen. Knock it off already before Lynne knocks you out!

Vickie:
I hope you look at the tape and watch yourself!! You are a very self-centered, cold, spoiled, rude, loud person.
You have the need to be #1. You treat Don, like he is a child and you strive for attention. You do not want to include him in any family events and then you wonder why
your so called love tank is empty. You do not even try. You seem to want attention from other men and kissing one is a little too far. Why do you need to ask Don to tell you he loves you?
Your visit to the Spa with Jeana, you were very rude and inconsiderate. How do you Gretchen think Jeana felt? How wound you feel if she did that to you?
There was a time all you ladies were in the limousine and you were making fun of Gretchen. You had to be #1 !!!
You also were typing on your laptop, rude and inconsiderate again!
Another time, where you were having lunch with the girls and Gretchen was at the hospital. She was on the phone and you were angry that girls were taking to her. Why? Because you were jeolous and their attention was on Gretchen, not you.
Controlling,Controlling,Controlling.

Your core personality is a "mean girl" Be who you are. I'm sure your fans love how you treat your husband. You are a mean girl to him too. You should be ashamed. I thought you were a workaholic in a good way in your first season. But your husband should be treated like a king by you and he should treat you as his queen. Get over yourself and be nice to him ALL the time!

Hi Vicki!

You rock! You are my favorite housewife. You work so hard for your family and to see they way Don treats you hurts me (I can only imagine how it makes you feel).

Please do not let Don treat you badly. I cringe when he speaks to you. The mean things that he says is beyond hateful. You are a strong beautiful woman and you deserve a man who treats you with dignity and respect.

I had to get this off my chest. I hope you have a fantastic day and can't wait for season 5.

Hello Vickie,
I am a business owner in Calgary, Alberta, Canada (a photographer) & I have to say I find your drive, strength & class, very inspiring. Every time I see you on the show I am inspired to work that much harder. I am passionate about my job however, thinking about what you have achieved gives me that extra push! I LOVE the show! I am shocked by some of the comments posted in this blog :-o WOW! Viewers sure are opinionated. Funny... I would NEVER have thought of you as "mean". You come across as intelligent fun, wonderful, good natured, & charming. And interesting... it appeared to me that Gretchen got "herself" drunk, she has the ability to say "No more thanks" Dinner & a show! Doesn't seem to matter what extreme Gretchen will go to to be the center of attention. Anyways.. yourself & the other ladies lift me up, make laugh & inspire me.
Wishing you continued success & much happiness, Kira

Vicky, I love your strong work ethic and the way you've raised your kids. They are strong and responsible indiviuals. I did however, thought you were immuture and irresponsible when you engaged with Tamara in getting Grechen drunk. That was so high school crap. I also can't believe that you said you were only 10 years older than Grechen when infact you're at least 17 years older. It appears like you Tamara are jealous of Grechen. The more you involve yourself with Tamara the more your IQ drops. About your husband try to include him more in your travel plans and see how your tank will fill up.

Hi Vickie,
I'm so glad I get to write to you. I have been wanting to talk to you for so long now. You are very interesting to watch, but not always in a good way. It's clear you love your kids and you are a strong hard working woman. However, I also sadly see someone who is so self-absorbed that she doesn't see how she hurts people, including your daughter and husband. You are so absorbed on your own thoughts and world that you don't listen to people, you just insist on what you think is right. You are also a bit mean and catty. You and what's her face...the other mean one, seem to have bonded over this. It's really too bad. Brianna is a wonderful person though. She is so refreshing to watch!

Vicky, I am a 25 year old Marine wife in cali that feels lost in what she want in a career. I see that you went from nothing to something. I use to be driven, and now I'm at a lot. I don't have a mother to go to. You are a driven women, and love what you do. Is there any guidance you can give me.

Vicki,

I love the Housewives of the OC. Will you be returning to TV anytime soon? Are all of you done with the show concept now. I watched because, I think of of you are strong career driven women. That can Have it all. I hope you and hubby Don Still out together. You are both suited for each other. The grass is never greener on the other side. You have a great guy stay with him. All you have to do is bring back the romance that once brought you together in the first place.
Will miss you all.

I wish we could see more of the real you on the show but like you said they only show the dramatic parts. I hope all is well with your family.
Just keep on keeping on.
Love you on the show

Vicki-
I can't tell you how much I admire you and Jeana and the ladies that have always been there from season one- but you stand out because you and Jeana started out with nothing and made your lives into what they are today!!I came from a very abusive marriage and need to see women like yourself - to have a real life hero-so THANK YOU !!!!! You are a great person!!!

Vicki you are truly a rolemodel, and represent the strong woman that myself and so many others should aspire to be like.

I look forward to seeing where your life leads you in the future.

All the best to you and your family!

Vicki,
You are my absolute favorite on this show! You have such a great heart and I admire your confidence. You always seem to just say what you're thinking and I love to see somebody else that just tells it how they see it. You are a great mother and although your daughter may not appreciate the wisdom in your "controlling" behavior, *haha* I know that in time she will. I'm in the insurance business as well and I'm very inspired by your mind for business and integrity. Keep just being yourself, I think you're awesome!

Vicki, luv the way you stand up for what you believe in. I too come under attack with family and friends for being a strong independent woman, and sometimes they dont think we need to hear praise but we do...... I am succesful in business and raised a daughter alone, I own my home and some investment properties. When the going gets tough I get going as do you. You are an inspiration, and breath of fresh air! Bravo! To You!

Sincerely,
East Coast Gail

Hi Vicki. I just wanted to ask you a few questions. How do I get into the life insurance business and are you providing anymore seminars? I'm a 28 year old male and I'm truly inspired by your success and work ethic. Obviously you're doing something right and it shows. I watch the show 'cause I love the drama. But you are the one who really stands out for your ability to be such a great business woman. I would appreciate any feed back or advice. Thanks for your time and hope to see you next season!

You are the little girl in the classroom, teachers pet, who needs to be the star. Tiring in a grown adult. You give the word Bitch true meaning.

Vicki, this seemed to be a tough season for you. I think you sometimes get a bad wrap for simply being RIGHT!!! There are two types of women in this world...hard workers who are self sufficient and make it on their own and those that marry into it because they don't have what it takes to make a success of their life. You stand for honesty and morality... good for you!!!

Hi Vicki,

I watched you teach other wives on the show about BOTOX. I absolutely hate needles and want you to know that there is a much safer alternative! It is the same technology Sophia Loren has used for over 20 years! And she looks just gorgeous! I know people who have had Botox paralyze their vocal cords among other horror stories.

You are a dynamo - take care! I can't wait for another new show!

Let me stat by saying love the show. I have watched since season1. Vicki, you and Jeana are my favorites.I have adapted one thing you always say in my life, that you have to work hard to enjoy the fruits of your labor. I have told that to my 13, soon to be 14yr. old as he has decided to look for a summer job. You are such a wonderful roll model and such a lovely person. Hope to see you and all the ladies again soon on bravo. Blessings to you and your family from me, my husband doug. and our two sons nathan13yrs. and nicholas4yrs.
