Vicki you need loose those people you and Donn are the only "real people" on the show. You both have too much class for them.

Sorry for the way people treated you at the dinner party. What an embarassing scene for them! At forty-six, I know that there is so much more to a person than what's on the outside and we all need to be careful not to judge others. Too bad they couldn't see the situation from afar like the viewers, they were ganging up on you and were very quick to use hurtful words. Keep on the high road Vicki

Vicki - I felt so bad that you and your husband (Don) had to go thru such an awful dinner and deal with all the drama. Vicki you are my favorite housewife on the show - You are the best! You & Don are a great couple and have a great marriage!! My husband and I have been married for 19 years - Highschool sweathearts. We do allot of things together but we have our times when we need to go out with our friends on seperate times. I believe this is what makes a marriage work. I had to laugh at the tatoo on Tamra's wedding ring finger. Now it will be interesting to see if Tamra has her tatoo removed if her and Simon are heading for divorce. Not a good thing to do when you are having on and off marriage problems to get a tatoo. Stay tough with all the housewife drama - You are a better person and your family should be very proud of you!!!

Vicki, you rock, I am a stay at home mom currently, but will go back to work. My mother worked, I have a great work ethic and excellent formal education. Seeing a dynamic working woman like you who doesn't pull any punches is great for this show!

You have changed for the better this season, but would you please do everyone a favor? Stop saying "They don't work, they don't have a job" about 10 times every episode. Their job is to take care of their families and if their husbands support that, then why do you care so much? It is up to each woman to judge what is important in their own life. Not for you to judge them.

Vicki, I have watched all the OC seasons and I admit I could NOT stand you before!!! You drove me nuts bc your "better tahn everyone" attitude. But this season I've seen a whole different and better side of you and love it. Those other women (especially Alexis and Tamra) are NOT your friends and will only bring you down. You and Donn are better than that and have a very great and healthy relationship. It may not work for everyone but if it works for you then keep at it! I deal with catty military wives and they drive me crazy and being the bigger person is hard but you do it very well! Keep your chin up!

Hey Vicki, I usually don't comment on these blogs, but after watching last night episode I felt bad and I wanted to fight for you. During the house warming, they were all very rude to you. I feel bad that they would talk behind your back like that. I think you deserve better friends then that; if you can even call them your friends. I want to say you are a role model. You work and don't have to depend on someone to take care of you which I really admire. Keep strong! You help show why some of the women act as ridiculous as they do.

Love you Vicki and Simon is the one who is jealous of your relationship, definitely not the other way around. I'm sorry that you had to deal with him. I am so glad you are not hanging out with Tamra so much this season, because we have our Vicki back. I've loved you since season one, but last season I didn't like the person you were when hanging out with Tamra. Now, you're back, woohoo!! :O)

Vicki, Know that you are appreciated and looked upon favorably. That epsiode was crazy and I admired you! Simon looked absolutely insane as he kept coming back at you telling you to "get out of his marriage" and that his "marriage is great" when you were mostly just listening to Tamra talk in circles and confuse herself with the help of several cocktails. Simon was unrelenting because he wants to blame and deny. He made an a** of himself. You have never come across as jealous or a bad influence to me. You are not a destructive force to Simon's marriage - that is just how his life played out. Way to go Vicky - you were a class act! And, your hair looked awesome at Lynne's party! yahoO!

Hello vicki, I love watching you on the show each and every week. When the show first started, you where my favorite cast member to watch. I love your dedication to your family and work. Copmpare to the other housewives you have the most ambition. I am not sure but something changed with you this season but something was different. As for Lynn's dinner, I think it was rude of you to snore during Alexis's story. Whether or not how boring it was, you did not show her any respect. I am sure if the situations were reversed you would have reacted. Not all people are good story tellers. I positively agree with you on how Simon and Tamara's relationship. But as you can tell o relationship is the same. Look at yours vs theirs. Another thing is that you value your friendships well but did you really think Tamara would side with you over her husband? Vicki your heart is in the right place but some times it is best to stay out of friends marriage. There are times we need to just give a hear without trying to fix it. Keep working hard and hope to see more of Donn. I WANT TO SEE YOU ON SEASON 6!!!!LOVE LOVE MUCH LOVE.

Vicki, you're awesome, the only real person on the show, keep up the good work, i think you and Donn have the most real relationship on the show, you let each other be who you are, love it!

Besides being the hardest working (unlike the rest of the jobless lot), Vicki, you have the prettiest feet over any of the Real Housewives women in all 4 series. How do you do it?

You are still number one with me Vicki

Vicki! I heart you! You seem to know how to grow, change, and evolve!!! I love that you work and speak your mind! Your daughter is my favorite person on the show. I think that she is adorable, smart, and kind.

Vickie, You are to good for the others. Look at your kids. They are great and that is because of you and Don.

Vicki, besides being the smartest and most hard working (unlike the rest of jobless lot), you have the most gorgeous and sexiest feet over any Housewive in all 4 four series. How do you do it?

Vicki,

I wouldn't normally take the time out of my day to comment on or read a blog, but after watching last night's episode I felt the need to.

You seem to be the only one with a good head on your shoulders this season. You and Donn seem to be very genuine and down to earth, the two of you seem to have a very healthy relationship. You work and are successful, your children are educated, well-rounded individuals who seem to have been very well raised by you and Donn. This speaks volume of both Donn's character and your character.

You, girl, have it together. Don't let these other, superficial housewives bring you down:)

P.S. I am disgusted by Alexis, as well, she makes me no longer want to watch the show.

....strong women are never the kind of friends that insecure men want their wives hanging with :) Gotta love the way Simon wanted to misplaced the blame of his marital problems on you! Tamra...that was really a shame. Hopefully she realizes how hurtful her words were. LOVE YA VICKI!

Vicki~ I love you and what you stand for. I think you're a great Mom and I admire how you have worked so hard on your marriage. I hope you stay away from the drama. Life is so short to partake in all of that. Plus, I just don't understand why women can't be supporters of each other. I don't like that women drag each other down. You don't have to get along with everyone but where is the respect? I am so sorry that you were not treated with respect but it just may be time to move on. I wish you the best and always stay true to who you are and who you were created to be!

Vicki, I think you and Don have an excellant marriage. I can see that you guys love and trust each other. Last season you guys had problems but you managed to over come them. From what I see on tv Don lets you be you. He doesn't interrupt you when you talk(like Jim),he doesn't try to control you or stay up your a..(like Simon). All those people that were talking about you are actually jeolous of you and your relationship. Strong independant women,who choose to have a mate not need to have one to support their lifestyle, are a threat to some. Stay yourself,girl!!

Vicki, Did you get to see this episode before you did the reunion show? Hope so, Tamara needs to be put in her place! She is always the one causing so much trouble and talking about everyone behind their back. Alexis "ZZZZZ" needs to get a clue, you were kidding around with her! Just like last weeks show how she made something out of NOTHING. Bravo please get an old Housewife back so Vicky wont be so left out next season, the new crew is missing something!

Vicky, I think you are disgusting. I watched last night's episode where you basically said that stay at home moms don't work. Let me tell you something, my job as a stay at home mom is more work than you'll ever know in a day. Stay at home moms work harder than anyone I know. It is a round the clock job, no lunch breaks, no trips to Greece or Florida by yourself, no weekends off. And it is the most rewarding career a parent could have. Just because you neglected your kids and husband doesn't mean that you should fault people who like to be around their family or take care of their family as a full time job. You should get a life and maybe someone should sit back and analyze all your faults as a mother, wife, and friend before you're allowed to judge all of us. You are a very selfish, judgemental, and materialistic person. It's embarassing to admit that we all live in the same town.

Vicki, I commend you for standing by what you believe in and tryingto be a good friend. Unfortunately, there are always woman out there that have to talk crap about others. I have found the main reason people talk about others is because they are lacking in there own lives or trying to keep up the facade of their own lives. I know I don't know you personally but I think you area genuine and "what you see it what you get" type of person. Other woman find that threatening. When you go through obticle in your life in when you find out who your true friends are. Stay true to yourself.

Vicki, I think you are the greatest. The reason I watch the show is to see what you are wearing. I think you have the best fashion sense... I am sorry the other housewives are so icthy with a B. I love your black one shoulder dress. If you ever get rid of it, I want it... I will pay..... Love you from TX.

Dear Vicki, you made a total ass of yourslef at the dinner party. Alexis is young and was telling how she and Jim met. Because you are in a love-less marriage, you obviously got bored with the story. None of the other couples minded hearing the story. You are full of hate and jealousy girl!!You are ready for the glue factory!! To hate Alexis, just shows how much the botox is traveling to you brain.

vicki don't let them upset you I have never seen anything quite like them. You are such a beautiful person and you have such a big heart. They all seem to attack everyone every time they can say there marriages are normal but what is normal I hope to find and have what you and don seem to have a sercure marriage. Every ones marriage needs to work for them ones who judge seem to be the insecure ones. You are a very driven career minded person who we should all aspire to be more like. I wish all the best for you and your family and just watch your back around the girls.

Vickie-I think I dozed off listening to Alexa's story. OMG, she needs to get over herself. After watching this and previous episodes, Tamra is the snake. As for Simon, he needs to look in the mirror and at Tamra as they are at fault in "their" marriage. You go girl!! Hang in there!

Vicki, you are very insecure, controlling, and you DID meddle in Tamara's marriage. You have some serious issues and I feel for your poor husband. The only reason you are on this show is to plug your insurance company and to try to drum up business.

If I did need insurance yours is the last company I'd go to for a quote.

Have to say I am surprised at all the support for Vicki. She is very self absorbed and condescending.

* She was rude in interrupting what was an important story to Alexis. See her hands close basically saying shorten the story, how crude, let her fully explain an important story in her life.

* Saying basically that Tamra has to choose sides in who she needs to back, her or Simon. Not cool to put Tamra in that position, but if you must, her husband is more important than her friend, period.

* At least you have a job? How many times have we heard this. Your self promotion is getting tired and old. Instead of looking down on people, why not try treating them with respect.

Think she is showing her true shallow colors with each episode. She has shown contempt for her own husband, and now just about everyone on the show. Can we expect Vicki to be the next housewife to leave the show? Hope so!

Vicki, I must admit that you weren't always my fav housewife, but I liked your ethics. This season I have seen such a side of you that I feel you are a grand lady and work very hard and it shows in your life. I think that a role model such as yourself should stay on the show so people may strive to acheive what you have. I love how you met Donn, your trip to renew your vows brought tears to my eyes. I want to do that with my husband of 18 yrs. I think Tamara made a huge mistake on the things she said. She seemed a bit intoxicated and that may have fueled what happened, that and reality tv. I felt so badly for you for never had I seen you feel so betrayed it brought tears to your eyes. Be strong and be that grand lady I am starting to really love!!!

Vicki - Don't leave the show! You are the only "housewife" on the show. I truly felt hurt by the words said about you.

Hi Vicki, I want to start off by saying, that your outfit was amazing at the dinner party. I just love your fashion sense!! :) You and Donn are seriously the best couple on the show! You are a strong woman and Donn is very confident in having you as a wife. The others are jealous. You have 2 successful children and a happy marriage. Something they can only hope for! Don't let them get you down. You are amazing!! :) Don't cry, they don't deserve your tears. You are a good friend, mother, wife, and a hard worker! Just wanted to tell you that you are such an inspiration to all women. :) XOXO Lara

vicki don't let them upset you I have never seen anything quite like them. You are such a beautiful person and you have such a big heart. They all seem to attack everyone every time they can say there marriages are normal but what is normal I hope to find and have what you and don seem to have a sercure marriage. Every ones marriage needs to work for them ones who judge seem to be the insecure ones. You are a very driven career minded person who we should all aspire to be more like. I wish all the best for you and your family and just watch your back around the girls.

Vicki, you ROCK. Don't let those other "ladies" get you down. You are wonderful role model to all us real housewives. Loved your black dress the night of Lynne's party. Who is the designer?

Vicki, you and Don are on the right track. Your relationship is based on equal partnership and mutual love and respect. Sadly, the other women are "trophy wives". It may be that they are willing players in exchange for financial security, if that even, but I can't imagine that they are truly happy. Who wants to live their life as the subservient dependent spouse? The men wouldn't like it, why should the women? Who wants to be in a relationship that hinges on maintaining one's external beauty to keep the powerful one satisfied? "Biblical marriage" is so 200 AD. Women can vote now you know. Take the high road. Ignore the adolescent back biting. Ground yourself in the knowledge that you and Don are on the right path to happiness. He's definitely a keeper.

Hi Vicki, Just wanted to say I felt so bad for you and Don. I really wish the original cast would come back, the show was so much better then. I really hope you don't leave. Other than Lynn there is nobody I would care to watch. I'm just glad my friends are not like that.I don't think having 2 nannies and a housekeeper qualifies as working hard. I just really enjoyed it better in the begining. Please stay the way you and Don. God bless you both.

Vicki, I just want to say that you and donn are amazing and way above all that drama, Also my favorite episode was you and donn renewing your vows it made me cry it was real sincere and true not phoney like other things we see on the show and you know what it really boils down too they are really jealous of you both.take care be strong and GOD BLESS.

Vicki, I guess I am going to be the big "Negative Nancy" in the comments about the last show, but I, like you always say, call em as I see em!! I was very suprised when I put a couple of things together afer this weeks show. First, I believe you and Simon don't get along because you are so much alike, for the most part in the way you treat your spouses. You are BOTH very controlling and condescending and I think you see that in eachother. Also,I was suprised to see Donn react like he did because he is always so nice and just seems to take things in stride but (here's # 2) it seemed as if he only got upset about someone mentioning the "Girls Only" trip again because he was and has been embarassed over it a along, especially the fact that you told the world that you told your husband he wasn't invited! You are for the most part just a rude, rude person and I feel sorry for you in that respect. Last but not least, I really take offence when you say that some of the women don't work. I have 3 beautiful children and I am at home for and with them and if you think that is not a real job than you are sadly mistaken. I wish just for once you could get along with everyone. Wouldn't that be a nice change for you? I don't know, just a thought.

Vicki I think u need to drop Tamra like a hot potato!!!!! Everytime you turn your back she has nothing nice to say about you. I was reall upset about the trip in FL when you asked not to say anything when she got back to the limo, but what did she do???? Talked about you just to make herself fit in or look better. There're better people out there for you to be friends with and Tamra ain't one of them!!!!!!!!

The last couple of weeks I finally started liking you and then this weeks show happened and once again I have to say you areon the bottom of my list. The others have been at that bottom for various reasons, Lynn because she and her husband are rediculous when it comes to their kids, but they seem like they are genuinely nice. Tamra, she just annoys me. Alexis, I cannot stand the fact that she has 3 kids and 2 nannies and doesn't work. That is absolutely dispicable that she has other people taking care of her kids. Gretchen, I have to say I can't find much fault with her but you constantly make me cringe. I don't think that you are jealous of the others, I think you're too opinionated and feel it necessary to tell others what you think which doesn't go over well. You feel the need to speak your mind and sometimes your mind needs to shut up. Last night, while again, I don't care for Alexis and her husband (how she went off on that friend of Gretchen's was totally classless) you and your husband were rude. Plain and simple. The things you do, such as that and asing questions of Gretchen about Slade which is none of your business, are just annoying and someday maybe you'll learn that Vicki's way is not the ONLY right way.

I'm TEAM VICKI all the way. Listening to the stories at the table from last night's episode, especially when Alexis started talking about "HER" and how good she looked will put me to sleep too or worse vomit all over them!!!! About Tamra and Simon, I think Tamra already know that her marriage is over that's why she had to tattoo Simon's name on her finger just to do a last thing to save her marriage and also with Simon, he just needs to blame somebody why his marriage is crumbling. I feel like you're the mature one and you're surrounded by this "high-school girls!!!". I don't know how you're gonna go on with the show, the other women are so ANNOYING!!! I'm happy for you and Donn, I know you guys had a rough patch from the past, but I think a healthy marriage will recognize the problem, admit the wrong and try to work things together!!!! Good luck!!

You have the most wonderful husband. So glad to see your relationship more fulfilling these days.

PS---Simon is controlling!

As much as I have always loved you on this show, it seems that it is causing you more pain that it's worth.

Vicki, You are awesome! You are my favorite and good for you on taking the high road!

Vicki, You are the ONLY normal one on the show. And your marriage? Well, Simon & Tamra are divorcing as are Lynne & Frank. Who's left? Alexis? Are you kidding???? I appreciate that they have a "faith-based" marriage, but I agree that something is really off with those two. My husband and I have been married for 22 years - happily! And let me tell you, every marriage is different and what works for one doesn't work for another. Your proof is in the pudding. Donn and you love each other, you've worked through the tough times, raised two great kids. What more can I say? And as far as your caution regarding life insurance -- YOU GO GIRL!!! My dad died at 50 and only had a $100,000 policy in force. NOT ENOUGH! You can never been too prepared! Thanks for being on the show and proving that not everyone in the OC is a bubble-headed idiot!

Vicki, I've been a fan since the first season, and last night made me think of different the housewives are and how catty they've become. You have always been true to yourself and never shy away from who you are. I'm sorry you had to see the footage of what was said once you left. The others are entertaining -but are not relatable. You are. THANK YOU for being yourself and keeping the original Housewives Fans still watching!

Hello I agree with most of the viewers you are the real housewife. Gretchen isn't married nor does she have kids. Tamara well nothing good will come out of that relationship. Take care and who cares what they think, they may work from home and can do what they what they want when they want, just rememebr you can afford it and they can not.

I just recently got hooked on Housewives of OC! The first show I saw was the one where you planned the Girlfriends Getaway to Florida...I could not believe that those husbands/boyfriend crashed your vacation plans. The other women should have made it clear to them that they were not invited and I was so proud of Donn reminding them that they (the men) were not invited.

Men get threatened by woman that are beautiful AND smart. You are an inspiration!

Vicikie,

You don't need Tamra in your life. You need friends who are more secure with themselves like you are.

Vicki, What you said to Tamra was in no way interfering with her marriage. Obviously Simon knows he is a control freak and Tamra lives like a caged animal. Maybe if she had half the strength as you do she would get up and leave. I must say this is the first season where I like you better than all the others. You just make sense. When Gretchen said, "she makes it seem like we don't work or nobody else in the world works besides her (referencing you)," I was amazed by her stupidity. I thought, YES GRETCHEN SHE IS THE ONLY FEMALE ON THE SHOW THAT ACTUALLY WORKS. Go you! You give a great name to all independent females who are working hard for their money and not letting their men foot the bill for all that they do. And on a last note I love you and Donn together, since when is it wrong to have a girl's night or weekend without the husbands? Who are these ladies? They remind me of the Stepford wives. You can't leave for a weekend without your husband? Shame on them. They are way too dependent on their men!!
