Can I get a Woo Hoo?

Vicki explains why she was late to Tamra's party and gives an update on Briana's health.

March 6, 2011

Welcome back everyone for Season 6 of the original franchise. Do I hear a "woo hoo?" I hope you enjoyed this week's episode and that you will enjoy this new season. There wasn't too much drama to start with, but stay tuned... I'm sure there will be more coming.

This week you saw Donn and I moving furniture around in our house, because we had a slab leak under our marble floors and the contractor had to rip up our entire first floor flooring to repair it. It was a great opportunity for me to do a makeover on the house. I ended up taking all the carpet out of the downstairs and replaced it with wood flooring in the family room, office, and front den area. For the rest of the floors I had travertine installed, which really updated the home. I'm not one who likes a messy, untidy home, so the four weeks of living in dust and construction was not pleasant. I am the type of person who is extremely impatient and things need to be done yesterday, so when Donn wanted me to wait to get a new area rug… it was simply out of the question. I ended up getting a new one that night.

Tamra invited all the girls over at 4:00 for a clothing party, and unfortunately I could not get there at right at 4:00 due to client meetings. I got there as soon as I could, and I told her I would be a little late due to client meetings that I had scheduled at my office. When I heard Alexis' comments about me being late, it just reaffirmed to me she has no clue how difficult it is for me to just leave work in the middle of the afternoon to socialize, drink, and shop. When I got to Tamra's boyfriend's house, I wasn't there for more than five minutes and Tamra told me that Gretchen started in on her about being "evil." I thought this fight was over two years ago, and I don't understand why Gretchen can't move past it. I personally do not think it's Tamra's fault.

Hello. It's good news !

Lovely just what I was searching for.

Glad I detected this on google .

Great job, you've helped me so much and I am so glad I have chosen your service.

Good Article

Such an interesting story to read and I enjoyed reading it as well. Keep up the good work.

YOU ARE THE BEST! I laugh (out loud...by myself) so hard at some of your comments. I don't care what anyone says...you are awesome & totally deserve everything you have - that's a benefit that comes from working extremely hard every single day, as you do. Living in Los Angeles myself, I absolutely LOVE watching this show especially. Oh, and I am SO glad you are back this season!

Vicki, I love you. My favorite statement of the season will be "What's that cackling noise?" No one could say it better. Keep it real. Love ya.

Vicki,
You are a class act! You are the only one that lives a "real" life, you work hard & deserve success - you've earned it! Stay real!

Vicki~you're my favorite housewife of all the shows! I love your work ethic & personality! You're the classiest one on the show :)

praying for Briana's complete and total healing

i thought Tamra deserved every bit of gretchens wrath. from the time Gretchen appeared on OC, she had been ridculed and played with bu vicky and Tamra. Gretchen is a beautiful woman, Tamra was jealous of her from the start. I tried to tell my friends her husband was a sneaky mean guy. it was obvious they were faking from the beginning. when Tamra decided not to defend herself, she knew she deserved it. Vicky is another mean girl who will probably get hers this season as well. Tamras vulnerable because shes going hough it personally, bad timing on Gretchens behalf, but Oh well. karmas a b****!

Woo Hoo! Vicki, I love watching you on the show. You are a real person, usually the voice of reason and I sincerely appreciate that! I have loved RHOC since season 1 and am so glad you are still holding it down on season 6. So sad to hear about your divorce and Brianna's biopsy. Prayers for you and your family's health and happiness! xoxo

Hi Vicki,
I must say that I am very impressed with your blog. You didn't fall into the same as the other women talking about Tamra's party. I am a small business owner and completely comprehend how you live your life. It isn't as big as yours but it is my own. I wish you best of luck in the new season and in your business. Prayers for your daughter as well. We have similar styles of raising our children. Kuddo's to you!

Vicki, I LOVE the women your represent on the show, your strong, a hard worker and a great mom. You show what can be do with hard work and the right mind set, Thanks!!

Dear Vicki,

Recently dealing with my husbands benign tumors has gotten the best of us as well. I was fortunate enough to meet a holistic medicine Doctor online, who has been helping me navigate the world of dealing with these tumors & my husband's health.

I would recommend a juicer and cutting out all caffiene in your daughters diet, along with many other enzymes and milk thistle to boot. If interested you can always send an email and I will rely the info I've recieved from my new friend. I buy the supplements at various stores, and they seem to be helping reduce the re-occurance of the tumors. At the least, improving my Husbands health in the sense of his general mood, and happiness. No more tumors have been found--yet. There are practical things that are affordable which you can pick up at a health food store that will greatly increase your daughters health, and energy. I hope that you look into it, for her sake.

You can definitely get a YOO HOO from me. I am so glad to see the old Vickie starting to come back. Don't let Tamra drag you into her drama. I am seeing improvement in her also but drama seems to follow her. Give all the girls a chance. Show them the classy, sweet, caring Vickie I remember.

Why do you knock the otherl ladies businesses You said Lynn`s cuffs wouldn`t do well and now you are in Gretchen`s bags and last year you said her makeup would fail .Her makeup is doing well maybe you are afraid that they will make one more dollar than you and you can`t look down on them anymore.By the way it takes alot to produce a nice bag not just putting a name on it. You reallt need to reevaluate yourself .Life is short don

Girl you ROCK! i am a housewife with no job pregnant with one year old. Even though thats me i still see where yopu come from in every angle. Seems like the whole "game" is a lil beneath you and your competing with ones beneath you (mostly) dont let anyone tell you different you are a outstanding person who one day i would hope i can match.

I've only seen 3 seasons of this show, but I really like what you've got going on. Like the majority of women in this country, you're doing it all. I think you're work ethic is a very positive role model for the younger generations of women watching this show. PS - You look fabulous this season and are absolutely glowing. I'm happy to see you back.

Personally...I think that it would have been a VERY BENEFICIAL and "business-smart" for Vicky to have taken this season OFF and to have used this time to address her very deeply rooted (and ultra obvious) insecurity issues! Then maybe the FOLLOWING SEASON could have included some fairly interesting and less predictable 'plots' involving Vicky...instead of these continuous B.S. insults, opinions, judgments....I have them ALL memorized at this point!

Vicki,

You are the ROCK of OC Housewives. As a resident of the OC, I can say you better represent OC than the others -- driven, smart, genuine, and REAL. Please stay true to who you really are. That's what people love and respect.

I would like to see this series become "Get Real, Housewives of Orange County!" where everyone would have to move (husbands, kids - no nannies, cleaning ladies, or other employees allowed) into very small, modest homes (1500 square feet or less, furnished from ads on Craig's List) in lackluster neighborhoods and live on a very limited, tight budget (like normal people) for the duration of the show's season. (Botox, boob jobs and bling of any kind would not be allowed!) The housewives would be limited to one family vehicle (preferably banged up, 10-year-old minivans with 100,000 miles each) and their children must attend the closest local public schools. In addition to finding minimum-wage jobs with no benefits, the housewives must volunteer weekly somewhere in the community (school, scouts, church, soup kitchen, animal shelter, recycling center, coaching, etc.). Shopping would be limited to Walmart, Target, and Sears. Birthday parties, anniversaries, or any other special occasions would be strictly at-home, do-it-yourself projects for $25.00 or less that look like Martha Stewart had supervised. Out to dinner = Outback Steakhouse. Vacations would be camping trips (tents only in State or National Park campgrounds) or outings to free places like a local park, playground, or the beach. Finally, the housewives would have to meet weekly in a group therapy session to resolve their issues with each other (and there is plenty of material there to keep a film crew busy). They will learn how to behave in a socially acceptable manner and interact with people like reasonable, responsible, respectful, rational adults.

amen amen and amen!!!!!!!!! I completely agree.

OMG, I love this idea!! Bravo Come on now, do it!!!

I just think that Vicky is in a different place in her life that most of the other women. The other housewives (most of them) have small children and are stay at home moms. While Vicky's children are grown adults. She is able to devote all of her time to work now that she does not have small children.

Agree, Vicki you have changed and look at things in a different perspective. Stay true to yourself and don't get caught in the caddiness of the other housewives. Gretchen is very insecure and wants to be center of attention and causes problems with all the housewives.

Why are you back on this show?

Vicki, I must say that I have not watched OC before. I watch most of the other seasons, but not the OC. I am so glad you are on the show, when you are on I know who you are. But the others ... I can't tell them other apart from each other. The all look alike! Seriously, how do you know which one you are talking to? I am going to try a few more episodes.

Dear Vickie, you are quite the polarizing little housewife, aren't you? lol well i really only wanted to say that brianna is in my thoughts. how scary for you AND her. I have a daughter named brenna and i don't know what i would do if i had a scare like that. your daughter is such a smart, good, hard-working, beautiful girl and i can see how proud you are of her. she deserves all our prayers...you also sound very smart and sympathetic to everyone's economic plight in your blog, which is very refreshing. thank you for that.

I LOOOOVVVEEE you & Tamra!!! Stay away from that trashy Gretchen!! She was trash before she joined the show & is MUCH WORSE NOW!!!! Filthy PORN woman!!! Happy to hear your daughter's mass may be benign!! Praying for you all!!!

I still don't like you, you haven't changed at all. You know better than to try Alexis again because she will come back at you and put you in your place. You like to control people and act like you're superior. I honestly don't know why you came back.
Hey Bravo, think you can post this comment?

The scene with Gretchen and Tamra remined me of NeNe and Kim... how about a little respect when you are a guest in someone's home???

RHOC is by far my favorite. However, I agree with you the Gretchen/Tamra thing is so 2 yrs ago. I'm bored with it. Move on already. I watch the show for an escape... I was very disappointed with Lynn and her daughers last year. Too depressing. I know the season is already in the "can" already.. but I sure hope its not all this nonsense concerning G/T. Something tells me its not over! YUCK!

WOOHOOO! The way that Tamara interpreted what happened between Gretchen and her was HIGHLY exaggerated! Albeit RUDE, I think Gretchen spoke about 5 words vs. Tamara's rant! However, the way that Gretchen proceeded to behave, getting liquored up and being slightly belligerent, uncalled for and worthy of a bit of a behind the back talkin'! But obviously she was trying to unnerve herself with booze, no bueno!

Vicki!! Whoo Hooo!! I am so glad to see you back for the new season! Well, it has definitely started off with drama, but like that wasn't to be expected! haha..Ugh, i can understand Gretchen's feelings toward Tamra, but instead of making rude comments to her, i just dont get why she wont just try to explain to Tamra that she still has ill feeling towards her, work it out and move on. She gets on my last nerve with that! Also, not to mention the way she was acting towards Alexis about Alexis calling her a princess..O.K...get over it already. If you weren't on the show, im not even sure if i would watch it anymore. Its just not as cool as it use to be. I just loved all of the original girls..i miss Laurie, Jeana, Lynne for sure! I still think its going to be a great season and im looking forward to see what all going to happen! Oh and i heard you and Don were getting a divorce, omg Vicki, i just thought you guys were the best! I hated to hear this and you both are in my prayers. I would have never thought that would happen, but you just never know sometimes. You are both wonderful, loving, open-hearted people and i only wish you both the best of happiness. Hang in there and keep on rocking! Your the best..love ya Vicki! :)

I'm surprised you returned, considering the continual whipping you took last season. I felt you were treated very unfairly by all the wives (including Tamra). They were so tone deaf to your work ethic. If you were a man, nobody would have blinked when you begged off playtime during a workday.

You seemed very relaxed at Tamra's party. Good for you. That said, the cat's already out of the bag that you and Donn have split. The reason has not been revealed, however, Not that it's any of our business to delve. Except, that your return to the show has opened the door for us to peak in. It's sort of sad that your marriage faltered after your renewed your vows last year in a most romantic setting. Hopefully, you'll find happiness with man #3, if you allow it.

Vicki,
There are many things that I admire about you and understand... You are a workaholic!! And although some people will see this as a flaw (the women on your show hating that you work while on your way to events), it is your way of being independent, providing for your family, and it makes you who you are!! You can't always go do the fun things in the middle of the day/week with them b/c you are so dedicated and therefore not as free... From where I'm sitting, that's got to be frustrating not to be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor like your other costars. If the other women can't understand this, try not to hold it against them. Their situation is entirely different from yours no matter how close of a friend they may be... Just realize that your friends can Know these things about you and Love you, but they still may never fully understand or be able to empathize. Take it all with a grain of salt, and a shot of tequila!!
As much as you'd like to avoid the nonsense of the other women it's not entirely possible. You are a strong woman and can rise above the b.s. but it will take patience and selective hearing!! Good luck this season. Health and happiness for you and yours.

Vicki, I'm not going to be mean by saying this ...Tamara is using you. You have one day which Tamara so glad to be your friend and the next day stabs you in the back like garbage. Then what bothers me the shot talk you do about Gretchen and Alexis. Yes Gretchen is lucky to have husband who allows her to stay home and raise their kids. Plus Alexis is the type of lady who go to work if needed to support her family. Then you have Grtetchen have you ever really sat down with her. Gretchen is trying to get her life back together after losing Jeff to cancer. Everyone was supportive of your daughter with her Cancer scre why were you not able to support Gretchen at her time and needs. Knowing someone who had cancer and seeing friends died of cancer is hard. My Mom had cancer which were lucky she is alive. Then my friend Sue died of cancer which I still do not understand why Mom lived and Sue died. So I feel you and Tamara are fools for not supporting Gretchen and just call her a gold digger. So stay out of their fights you just add fuel to the fire.

WoooooHOOOO
how are you Vicki I wanted to say I hope your daughter is doing well and that people on this show can learn from you because you work and that's a great thing and so what you were late to Tamara's party she should understand you cant and wont stop work just to go drink work is more important and until she realizes that she wont be as successful as you, your an inspiration to me and everyone around you and im so glad that you dont just stop and party with the other girls all the time and you keep your priorities straight and in check your a remarkable women and i love that about you, i hope your daughter and husband are well please give them my warmest regags love you all.

Thanks for the comment on the recession. It's nice to know that although you live a luxe lifestyle you are able to be grateful for your success and hard work and recognize the struggles others go through.

I wish the best for Brianna. Poor girl should not have to go through something like this.

Vicki, it looks like you've gotten a facelift,
and for the record, you look great! PLEASE let us know the name of your doctor.

Vicki your comment about Gretchen saying "she works" and what else does she have to do was spot on!! No kids and wants a medal for working. Not from me!

Vicki, you are the only reason I watch this show!

Vicki, why do you feel the need to take a shot at Alexis & Gretchen whenever you can? You dish it out but can't take it and stay away from Tamara. she just brings out the nastier in you. You think Gretchen should work, so she does and you still insult her. We get it you don't like her boyfriend. Your not dating him so shut up!

You do exactly what Mikey says. Then I noticed on the WWH After Show that both you and Tamara play the victim. You accuse everyone else of that, but you two are the queens! Stop, look in the mirror, and realize that you are both divorced now (for a reason) and maybe you should work on changing yourselves. Oh and Vicki, I had to laugh when you said on the show that anyone could put their logo (Gretchen) on a bag and sell it, but you were Gucci, Prada, etc... then on WWH you were ask about what shoes you two were wearing and Tamera was wearing Jessica Simpson!! Blows your theory!

Totally agree..........we thought your comments about Slade were over seasons ago. Hello...........seriously. You always like to pick on people and think you are on top.

Vicki I like everyone on the show. U r a hard worker but u really should stop making comments about everyone else...Alexis..saying she doesnt work and the same thing about Lynne! Seriously, You r constantly degrading everyone else. I am a stay at home mom and I can tell u that I feel I work just as hard or harder than you do. I don't think i have evr heard u say anything nice about any of the other wives. It is all negative. If u r not commenting on their work then u have something negative to say about their significant others. I am starting to wonder if you might be a closet lesbian since u seem to have all these man issues! Just saying. Instead of babbling about evryone else's life maybe u should take a look at urs and y u can't seem to keep a man. All of the viewers have got it figured out so I find it difficult to understand y u haven't. I really hope that all is well with ur daughter!
