Actually, you said "the problem with liberal America is..." The word "problem" is defined as a negative situation. So how is that "not good or bad?" Most of the demographic on your show IS "liberal America." Without us, your job no longer exists. Since you enjoy explaining what the Bible says, have you read the part where it says "Do not judge thy neighbor lest you be judged..." God bless!

To each his/her own. I'm Pro Women, Man, Children, Choice, Marriage Equality, and I'm also pro life, liberty and the persuit of happiness. So if you marriage works for you who am I or anyone else to judge you. Keep being yourself, regardless of how anyone else feels you have a right to your opinion.

Hey Alexis,

Good luck and much success with your new dress line!

Bless you for standing up for your beliefs, your husband and your family. I may not agree with all of your comments about liberal America but you are still one of the most balanced women on the show. Tamra and Vicky should mind their own business.. if only.

I totally agree with you on the Tamra situation ...It's almost like she enjoys wallowing in someone else's misery. It's very sad and she should be ashamed of herself for enjoying other peoples pain. I hope the best for you and you family this summer.

gorgeous! i just moved to northern california from the santa barbara area. i really need to move down to the O.C. to find my love :) all will be well, look forward to next season:)

While watching Tamra comment about the financial profile of your family, I hope you will follow your husband far away from her and Vicki. Many people are hurting because of what the international banking system did in the mortgage industry. Tamra's comments infer she would rather see your family homeless. Stay away from her. When you people show you who they are BELIEVE THEM!

Alexis I love you & admire your husband for not partaking in the BULL#%^^

Alexis - I've come to the conclusion that Peggy is threatened by you not the other way around. I'm glad you aren't friends with her any more. She knew she had to be friends with the mean girls or they would eat her alive. The traditional marriage isn't for me, but if it works for you and your family, then Amen sister. I'm happy for you.

VICKI FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed watching you this season and think that you're a nice, classy person who loves her family AND has values one doesn't always see in this day and age. Your husband has never spoken out against the other ladies or their mates and I really admire that of him. He is a great example of a gentleman. Enjoy your time off and we'll see you next year!

Alexis, Unlike some of the others, you handled yourself with class while being attacked during Part I of the Reunion Show.

AMEN. you know how to treat a man and that's why YOU'RE still married.

Alexis,

It is sad that your relationship with Peggy has gone in the direction it has. Do look at what you have been saying because from my couch, I do hear little digs towards Peggy. However I don't think you mean to do it.

God bless and stay strong!!!!

You rock!!!! I'm glad Jim enjoyed the Journey concert!! I hope he had great seats!!!! Love Journey!!!!!! Don't stop believin'!!!!! =)

Hi Alexis, I can tell you've finally gotten fed up with being beaten up by the other women, always taking the higher ground, and not having that be recognized by many Bravo viewers. I'm not religious or traditional, and I don't always agree with your statements, but I think you have strong morals and I can relate to that. Your marriage is no one's business, and you are entitled to your own views about what it means to be a woman.I love that you have integrity and have managed to remain the bigger person despite the terrible things the other women have said about you. I think Peggy was a very bad friend, and although a lot of people seem to believe the sweetheart act, I think SHE'S the competitive one, and a mean girl. I think she used your friendship to get on the show and to create drama, while she turned her back on you to get in good with the other women. You don't need friends like her, and you don't need to justify who your husband is to women who obviously aren't your friends. Keep your head up Alexis and don't let the haters bring you down.

well said..............

Alexis, I actually admire your husband for staying out of all the drama. I think he might be the smartest one! Why would he want to be in room full of people that have never had one nice word to say to him or about him. All the other ladies realize that he doesn't care to be around their catty ways!

Alexis..I think Tamra's problem is that she is jealous of you..you have a loving marriage,a beautiful home, a new business and you are the most beautiful housewife..She used to claim to be the "hottest" one, but when you joined the cast..i think she was threatened..I hope you stay the course your on ,and stay "above" the catty-ness..and as for Peggy..the same holds true..that's why the 2 of them are now buddies..and as far as hearing she used to date Jim..WOW well that will tell you!! Stay your true self and who cares what anyone says or thinks..people see the truth for themselves..Take Care

Alexis, you are the better person by far!

Alexis, I totally get what you were saying about being in a traditional role and letting your husband be the man and spiritual leader of the family. I'm also happy to see that you explained the situation to Peggy before showing up and she still acted rude to you. That isn't what friends do. She really should have understood why Jim didnt want to be near those cat's.

My hubby would not have wanted to watch them nor be on TV and a friend doesnt air your dirty laundry in front of everyone, just casue she worked so hard on her annual party. She is very rude. And, you got to tell your side of it.

Proud of you.

You think America is going through a liberal movement? Have fun in France, one of the most liberal nations in the world!

And Tamra knows so much about your housing issue because she is a realtor..any person whose job is to sell homes could tell you that.

Keep running the race Alexis, God bless you :)

it's embarrassing to watch you on television...half the time i have to look away while you're speaking cuz I feel bad for you! you give blondes a bad name sweetheart...lol...you are like the Camille of the OC...a lot of hot air without any real knowledge to back it up, lots of unfounded, loudmouthed opinions...you often sound like you are reading from a script and forgetting half of your lines leaving everyone wondering what exactly you are talking about...however, on another note, you are a watchable character, that is for sure...

Just a comment on "Reunion Part I": You and Gretchen have a LOT of growing up to do Alexis. You 2 have formed "Team I'm never wrong, and my heart is cold"!

I know you have some softness in there somewhere...please let it shine through. It's really a shame to hear you overtalk those you don't care for. You have so much to be thankful for including your beautiful kids. Be happy Alexis, and develop your listening skills. It would be very helpful to you.

Tamra probably didn't have to do much research, if any, when it came to the situation with your house seeing as though she's in the housing business! If you are paying for a new house in cash, but had to short sell your current house, what Tamra said makes sense. she's probably seen other people do it, too. she just said you guys worked the system.

Alexis....You are obviously a woman that is ok with a man telling you what to do. Me...No way!! Don't get me wrong I let my husband wear the pants, but to a certain point. I don't understand why these women get so frustrated you are ok with that. I do think it's good you are now doing things by yourself. Its good for you as an individual. Do I think they are jealous you appear to have a great marriage? Yes! I do think there are things you probably hide...you want your marriage to appear perfect. In reality I'm sure it's not, but no one's marriage is perfect. Alexis.... Peggy wanted to see you have a meltdown...that is why she acted like that. I don't think she cared Jim was there. She loved that you freaked out and got upset. It shows them you aren't perfect so it made all of them feel good. Women are evil and competitive. I do feel BOTH you and Peggy are competitive with one another. It shines! I do think you are upset that Peggy became better friends with the other two, but that's normal and it's ok. I think you need to let go of the fact Jim dated Peggy...who cares. They obviously were not mean for one another or they would still be together. He picked the lady who was good enough for him...so let that tell it all and own it as Gretchen says. As far as Tamra goes she acts like complete trash. I do like her, but I think she is still bitter about her divorce and still unhappy. She is using Eddie as a stepping stone to get over things. I think she wants to believe she is completely happy, but deep down she knows she's not and it is completely eating at her. So she is attacking people to make herself feel better and to make her life feel a bit more normal...if that makes any sense. As far as the "foreclosure"? It is obvious you all were living a little above your means. Heck I think a lot more people do that than we think. Again...the girls don't want you to have this perfect life so they want to attack you and get you to admit what that you don't. Women are jealous competitive creatures. It amazes me how simple jealousy can take over a women's life and behavior towards their own. I heard this quote a long time ago and I think it stands true..."A women has no friends only competitors" A good GF is very hard to find. Stay strong and only speak of your family issues to your "true GF" A so called friend that is jealous deep down will only use that info to hurt you in the end. I think each of you have your issues so get through those and let a new season begin. Accept your show wouldn't be so popular if those issue didn't exist right? :)

Well I owe you an apology- after watching the reunion a lot more things make sense

I've been married to the same man for 23 years so does that qualify me to say that you husband is a tad controlling. Can you at least acknowledge that he pretty much took over the photo shoot for your dress line? And the comments about your house I don't understand. If you bought your house at the top of the market and then lost all the equity why did you sell? To me it makes sense that if you could afford the house before, you can still afford the house now. The change in market doesn't affect the house payment. So, why not stay in the house rather than sell and lose all you've invested in it? I assume that you feel money matters are for men, but that doesn't mean that you can't educate yourself so you could better support your husband in his decisions.

As a Missouri girl born and raised, I value your "twang" that comes out occasionally on the show! Aside from that I appreciate your honesty and the fact that you value marriage. It makes me sad to see that Tamra has found such delight in attempting to bring you down the entire show. For me personally, I don't know if I could continue with another season from the way you have been treated. I would need to remove myself from the negativity that these women bring to your life. I understand that they are not in your presence 12 months a year but I could personally not be around that type of drama. I will watch the show next season b/c I am such an avid fan but I won't continue watching it if Peggy and Tamra continue to be so degrading. I wish you all the best with AC and many blessings with your family. I will be watching Reunion part 2 this evening! God Bless

I love you Alexis!! You handled yourself so well at the reunion and should be proud of yourself for not stooping to Tamra's immature level. Congrats on the dress line and I wish you and Jim nothing but the best!

I was born and raised in Cali and I say Aymex....So does my mother who is an attorney and was also born and raised in California.

I must say I found it interesting that Tamra stated facts as you say because facts are the truth. You aren't fooling anyone by trying to cover up your issues all the time. If you aren't comfortable discussing them, don't be on a reality show.

Alexis, I can totally relate to you. I have a traditional marriage but am also my own woman! People just don't understand. When you spoil your husband and he worships the ground you walk on, you can pretty much get away with anything that you choose to. We aren't rich, but my husband doesn't ever complain when I go buy a new handbag, get a new appliance, spend a day at the salon, or redecorate a room. He knows that he spends money too and gets to work and do what he enjoys, so if it makes me happy, then he's fine with it. He loves me and I love him. That's what's important - not what other people think of your marriage. Our kids tease us all the time - they say when he finally gets really old he can't come live with them - I've spoiled him too much!! Love your husband, yourself, your kids and your life Alexis!!

Wow Alexis, out of all the ladies, i must say i have the most respect for you. Thats not to say that the other ladies are bad people (you are all wonderful women), its just the way i feel! Allow me to elaborate: Alexis, you are the only one i feel who shows us who you are, good and bad, and doesnt make excuses for that. Now some of the other ladies may do that, but their ideals and actions seem to go against what i believe is good and true. I adore the fact that you and Jim are trying to make your marriage work! there are few folks these days who value the holy sanctity of the union of MARRIAGE. You and Jims tactics just dont match with the other ladies (for reasons that are quite obvious as they have their relationship issues) and i love that you do not allow what they say to influence or derail you. I will say that you have your fair share of brain farts, and flat out silly delivery of information, but in essence we are all human and no one person is ever 100% spot on 100% of the time. I say, keep doing what you are doing! Of course WE ALL have room for improvement, in fact the moment we stop improving, life is pointless to live! Thank you for your contribution to the show (especially the christian perspective)! Remember that the right thing isnt always the popular thing!

LOVE PEACE AND CHICKEN GREASE *realtruth*

Alexis, there is no one (including you) without fault on this season, regarding ugly comments about the other. Your blogs are all about what others say about you and JIm, how about what you say? From someone looking in, your marrriage is very controlled by Jim. He always has the last word and you obey. It appears that because of what you gain out of the marriage (ie: money, jewels, materialistic items) is why you subject yourself to his control. It's not a traditional marriage. Tamara stated her children are prohibited from watching the BRAVO network because of the court order between her and Simon. I'm sure both her and Simon go to extradianary lengths to comply and her bathtub scene may have been a little too much, I give her credit for having the guts to do it and owning it. Maybe next year you can take a different path regarding the other housewives and be a better person instead of protraying yourself as the victim of the mean girls remarks (ie: Jim and your family) Thought I apprecaite your reflections or remarks as a Christain, it comes off tainted by the your actions and words during the episodes. Enjoy your time off from filming with our family. Come back next year as the new Alexis and knock our socks off.

Wow; you really give women very little credit and fail to acknowledge the many successful female rulers who have led great countries. Elizabeth I for example; brought England into the Golden Age of it's existence and made it the number 1 ruling power in Europe, status it had never acheived before. It is sad that you think a country is safer under a male president when the president is just one function of our great country. Your dig at Vicki was very mean; there have been many great leaders and presidents who have had very unsuccessful relationships; the two are entirely separate.

Alexis, please remember the devil is out to seek, kill and destroy. Please do not second guess your marriage because some ppl tend to envy it. No marriage is perfect and they all have there ups and downs. Keep on keeping on. God Bless

While I respect your values about your marriage it bothers me to basically say that women should not be president. I was raised with strict rules about my place in society as a deep southern female but I choose not to pass some of those same things to my daughter. I picked the values I wanted to pass on to her. She will be graduating medical school soon. One of the things I always told her is that she could be anything she wanted to be if she worked hard enough. Where I come from the women were strong but we were strong in the background. I love that women can now be strong and go as far as they choose. My grandfather once told me, after I confided that my husband was cheating and I was thinking of leaving, that it was better to be married to a cheater than to be single with a baby. I wasted my youth in a marriage where I was treated like a queen but I was cheated on. Yes, it can be both ways. I am still in the marriage and of course I love him, but I wasted too many years when I could have moved on and found someone who thought I, alone, was enough. Don't give away your power. Sometimes it is all you have. And you, Alexis, can be anything that you want to be, even president. Peace and much love to you and to your precious family.

Hi Alexis,

First off, I have to say that I think that you are a beautiful woman inside and out. Last season I wasn't so sure about you, but you have definitely grown on me this season. I completely respect that your husband chose not to be involved with the show this season. I agree, why would he want to be involved with these women who mudsling and talk about others like they are a fly on the wall in your home. I absolutely can not stand Tamra...I couldn't believe that she talked like she knew all about what happened with your house...she was just trying to air dirty laundry...regardless of it's validity. It really doesn't matter what she says or thinks, I think many know that she is a liar. Like many people in this country, this economy has wreaked havoc on lives and many people have had to file for bankruptcy, sell their homes, etc. It is your personal business and whatever has happened, hold your head high and know that you are not alone. I think that your marriage to Jim is fine. It's not the marriage that I have with my husband because he is not the strong man that Jim is and I have to "run the show", but I do wish that I did have a husband who would step up and take charge at times. You do what works best for you, your family and beliefs. Best of luck to you and I can't wait to see you next season.

If Vicki becomes president, you'll move to France? Oh my goodness...that's reason enough for me to vote for her!

Alexis, I agree with you on so many of your thoughts. Come back next year. I enjoy watching you on the show!

Alexis, Sometimes all you can do is live and let your life be the example. Do what is right for you and your family because it is working for you.

Alexis , I would like to know the name brand of ur jeans I luv them it's the ones that has the button on the back pockets ?

Be yourself and be honest and you'll never need to apologize for anything not being stated out in the open...I did think it was a little dramatic of you to turn the party at Peggy's into an 8th grade dance where your man is away, but considering Peggy knew he wasn't coming and admitted as much last night on part 1, I do agree with you that she was certainly milking the camera for her moment...that's a bit sad. But you need to stop competing with her and one upping her in every conversation--it's so childish and cheap looking. If you truly are happy with your life, than celebrate that and wish your friends the best without trying to keep up with the Jones'. While I completely disagree with equating a traditional marriage to cutting women back to the days of no voting, I say to each his own and if you are happy with your life and your marriage than good for you and good luck--I think you can have a traditional marriage and allow women to bump the glass ceiling-considering you are trying to get a business off the ground in your name, I am confused as to why you wouldn't want the same opportunities as a man as we are all entitled to if you work hard to earn it, you should get regardless of what's between your legs Alexis...Just be sure to wish the same for others who are different than you, ie: Fernanda, Gretchen and beyond and accept them as you wish to be accepted...best wishes...

If you don't want the other women to talk about your husband or you, then maybe you should stop talking about them. Just by the fact you had to post that comment about Peggy is the one upset over Jim, "dumping" her then that just shows that YOUR the one who is really bothered by the fact they had a thing long before you. Also Tamra's parenting is none of your business, or are they your kids? No, I didn't think they were. Tamra is a grown woman and can make her own decisions like a big girl, she doesn't need your approval or permission, just as you don't need hers. Yes children of today are techno savvy, but also I'm sure Tamra doesn't just have basic cable, which my point is with ALL t.v. providers you have settings where you can put on a password, block channels, and other means to keep your children from watching tv they shouldn't. So point your "holy" finger at people and being so judgmental, go read your bible next time you want to say, and or post rude things about people. Get some class.

Sarah Palin doesn't represent liberal America, yet she's a woman considering a run for the Presidency. As a conservative, would you still consider voting Republican knowing that your candidate is a female?

I like that you state your opinion, not try to act as others would want you to. You are you. I don't always agree with you, but it's refreshing to see you be so real, regardless of what others think! This is what our country is all about. Kudos to you! If you are happy that is all that matters!

Alexis, let me start by saying that I applaud you for sticking to your beliefs and not letting the other women get to you for thinking differently than them. I totally agree with you about feeling safer if a man is running the country. I have always been a career woman and I know I am as smart as any man. Having said that, I don't feel that just because a woman CAN do the same things, doesn't mean they SHOULD be doing all of those things. Women are very emotional creatures and aren't as level headed as a man. Do I want a woman that is pms'ing my country? Oh heck no!! The other subject that kills me is the women constantly knocking your marraige or religion. I am not Christian, but I appreciate your passion for your religious beliefs. And as for your marraige, it's just that, YOUR MARRIAGE!!!! Don't listen to anyone. At the end of the day, you and Jim have to be happy with what you have and no one else. I think more people need to go back to traditional marraige values. When I got married 13 years ago, I swore I wouldn't be the wifey at home cooking and cleaning and waiting on my husband. For the first 9 years I had a busy career and didn't do any of those things and let me tell you, we had a lot of arguements and head butting. When I retired from being an Escrow Officer in 2007 I decided to get in touch with my Domestic Goddess side. I started cooking, cleaning, taking better care of my husband and letting him be the man of the house.It was the best thing that happened for my marraige. My husband is a manly man like Jim and likes to have a WIFE and not a man in a dress for wife. I leared that I needed to give in a let him so some of the manly things instead of doign it myself. My dad raised me to be independent and taught me how to fix things in the house or my car so instead of doing it myself, I would wait and let him do it. I learned all the from reading Dr. Laura's "Proper Care and Feeding of a Husband". It's a great book. Maybe you should buy it for some of your friends that don't get you. Now onto Jim. Bravo for sticking up for your husband! I love that you say, they need to talk to him if they have a problem. I am a Real Estate agent in Newport and I actually showed Jim a house in Newport Coast a few months ago (the one on Eucalyptus). I didn't realize it was Jim that I was showing the house to until I was on my way there that morning. I had only spoken to him on the phone prior and he sounded familiar but I didn't put 2 and 2 together yet. So on my way to meet him, I had a friend look up your last name and that is when I realized it was Jim. To be honest with you, I was dreading it then. I knew the house wouldn't work for you guys and it was a hard to sell house anyway. From what I had seen of him on the show, I was expecting the person that Tamra describes. I was so so so wrong!!! Jim was not at all like what I had seen on the show. He very nice and personable. It was truely a pleasure to meet him because it made me change my mind about him. I feel that Jim gets a bad rap and the people around him during filming has a lot to do with it. I think Jim soaks up the negative energy and it comes out of him as makes him seem arrogant or unpleasant. On the last show when you were getting ready to leave and Jim was in the kitchen, that is the Jim I met. Smiling, nice and happy. It's hard to be that way when there is so much tension around you. I think he is totally right for not going to the events where these women are. My husband would do the same. Last, your dress line. Your dresses are beautiful and I wish you all the luck. You will do well and I believe in you. My daughter, who's name is Alexis also, loves them too and she is an aspiring fashion designer. She is only 13 and has sketched out some gorgeous gowns. You would love them. So Alexis, stay strong. Stick to your beliefs like you have been and never let other's judgments get to you. If you guys are still shopping for your dream home and need a fresh pair of eyes to help you, call me. If Jim doesn't have my number anymore, you can email me at closeit@cox.net. Good Luck!!!
