Aries connection!! I too am an Aries. My birthday is March 28th!! Woo Hoo!! I really enjoy the show. I can feel your pain sometimes, when it comes to being your own person. I am very independent myself!! Don seems like I nice guy, but you never really know anyone until you live with them. Stay strong!!

Thank goodness you stayed on the show, otherwise it would be a dead franchise. I do wish Jeana and Laurie were back on! Don't care for the Peggy character at all. Alexis is like nails on a chalkboard to me! The original cast was awesome and I miss that chemistry. Again, thanks for sticking with it!

Don't scratchy the new woody! Seriously

Vic, when you guys all had your horoscopes done a couple of seasons ago you were a LEO...what happened to that? The reason you work so hard and never stop is all that LEO energy...??? Anybody else remember that?

I AGREE & UNDERSTAND HOW YOU WANT YOUR CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND HAPPINESS TO EXCEED YOUR OWN...BUT...In the SEATTLE episode, you really displayed how aggressive you can be in trying to set up Briana with any man who "has a pulse and a job" (as your daughter so perfectly put it!).
Chill, Vicky. Briana is FABULOUS AND CAN FIND HER OWN MAN. You might need to take some medication regarding this one. Work on finding a man for yourself.

Vicki you inspire me!! However, I do believe that Tamra isn't really your friend. She does NOT have your back. The bad marriage thing was an excuse for her behavior. She did not put a halt to the other women making snide remarks about your arrival to her little party. However, when you arrived she acted as if she couldn't wait for your presence. Playing both sides. Just like the image she was portraying to the viewers of Simon being this and that when all along she wasn't innocent. Vicki you are a smart lady don't be misled.

Vicki, you are my 2nd favorite next to Tamra. You remind me of myself. Strong willed, steps up as the leader etc and gets the beat down. My only advice is to when you get that urge to say something caustic as I do, just say 'hmm. . . . ." and it will pass. :-) But you were and are a fabulous friend to Tamra but forgive Tamra for having to choose Simon over you during the rough time. She lived with him and he was controlling and she had to do what she had to; to get along.
Your husband Don is sweet, don't be too controlling or he'll rebel -- he obviously married you and remarried you for a reason. I know from experience.

Vicki I was so happy last year when you refrained from screaming. I always thought it was done to gain attention. Now this year you have started again. I watch until there is a scream. Then I mute the tv and wait for another scene. I think you're great and smart - you don't need to scream to get attention...

Love is not only having your tank filled all the time, especially for you Vickie, with your work, but with someone who is there through thick & thin, If you can't see that Donn has been there for you for that you are blind! Yet, you allow Tamra who stabs you in the back over and over again back into your life and kick Jeanne out?? I am so so sad! I hope that you don't grow old with your job because it gets lonely at night when you need a friend! Shame on you Vickie, ans congrats to Brianna for having the brightest head on her shoulder! You did raise a wonderful young woman! Both you and Donn did, along with Micheal! I understand that we only see a part of all the show but I have to tell you, you are one RUDE lady and a very unhappy person unless everyone listens to you and only you! I do pray for you as I do for everyone! God Bless!!

team vicki and tamera. i agree with you that jim missed a great opportunity to bond with his child oh well his lose. i also think its funny how he treats and she allows it. at the end its all for the money thats what makes them happy

Why do you feel that you have to compete with all these women? Why can't you just be yourself instead of degrading everything that they do? YOU ARE NOT better than them! I have no respect for someone who thinks they control everything, and if things don't go their way, they wine and complain about it. Get over yourself! If I was Don, I would have been gone a long time ago!!!!

vicki you can send don my way. hes a great guy. just remember, *the grass isnt always greener*. believe me, i know.

Hey Vicki,

May we see more of John? thanks.

You are workaholic so you won't have to deal with life. By being a workaholic you have avoided true love, true friends, and even being a mother. I am not saying you do not adore your kids but it is clear work comes first. I do hope your daughter stays well.
If you are not in total control (and if the other person does not agree or think like you) than you act as if the situation or person is below you.
I am curious if you have a high turn over rate at your business. You employees do not look happy but stressed to the gills.
This show has not put you in a good light. I do hope you will not return next season along with Tamara. I wish Jeana would come back.
One day you are going to regret chosing money over life.

Vicky you are definately a survivor to have lasted this long on RHOC! I have watched since the beginning and you have changed so much throughout the shows. Some good, some no so good, but thats life. I still enjoy watching you.

One request Plueeez! Stop using the reference "you didn't have my back". That drives me crazy and I about lost it when Gretchen used this phrase. Friends are people with independant thoughts and concerns. A REAL friend is someone who will not always go along with everything you do and say, because they care enough to call you out on behavoir they feel is inappropriate. You definately do not take critisim well on any level, but you should really learn to choose your friends and then trust them. Stop whinning about not having 100% loyalty at every moment. Your a big girl so can handle things on your own sometimes.

I've loved the OC Housewives since the first episode aired and absolutely love the decor and furnishing in your home and some of the other ladies as well. Where do you get all your decor and furnishings from? I'm in the market of buying a couple of things for my home. Also this season you seem to look really worn down, tired almost; like you've lost your Woo-hoo! Are you ok? I know most people have said your husband seems so nice and he's too good for you, but people really don't know what goes on behind the scene, yes he may be nice, but maybe he's as dull as tasteless diet food; he may not fullfill you as a relationship stand point like you both used to and that's ok, sometimes the path traveled by a couple over time discover new paths and must part, that's life. Unfortunately it's late in the game and you might discover that the other apples aren't so sweet so be prepared to walk alone for awhile, but it's never to late to find the sweetness of love again! I'm sure you will your a strong working, woman, who people dubb as mean or tick like but they're just jealous cause they're not on the show! Thanks for being Vicki...woo hoo, girlfriend! P.S. give me a heads up on the decor & furnishings! Thanks :)

YOU hate conflict? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I am so sorry for your unfortunate turn of events...
Maybe now you can fill your tank with kindness and compassion for others, instead of ME ME ME.

vicki, , your new tag line, you will hundred percent pass away!!....you are unbelievable

I am so glad you are on this season! Love ya!

Not so sure that this will get posted, I have never had a comment posted, however I have to say how shocked I was at your degrading comment to the man working on your stair railing! For a woman that carries herself as a mature, professional business woman, that was anything but that. Not good! Also, I cannot believe how you talk to people, especially Don. You seem to think you are always right, it's your way or the highway. It's like you belittle people with your comments and get mad and don't want to hear it when you disagree with someone that sees it differently. I cannot believe Don put up with you as long as he did. Also, I understand you work hard but all work and no play... Does money and things matter that much to you? You are nothing if you aren't happy and have no one to enjoy life with! Another thing, it seems to me that you have gotten into it with all of the other ladies. I don't think that is just coincidence.

Vicki, I thought your daughters reaction to that man touching on you was on point. I would have done the same exact thing.

Vicky,

Don is a great guy! If divorced, you will surely miss him when you find yourself all alone. He tolerates and understands you. The passion might not be there, but there is still a deep love. Don't be like those types of people who cast off their spouse once they are well off. Enjoy what is in front of you and don't look for greener pasture. Your grass is green enough.

With what kind of man do you hope to replace Don? Any future guy you might be meet will only want to be in the limelight.

Please, reconsider. And, stop being annoying to your children and act your age.

Thank you for being so refreshing.. sure you're a little "wacky" but that is why we love you. Seriously, so refreshing. :)

I love your personality on the show. You are who you are always and not some fake 'tv personality' and you own what you say and do. I am an older you...a real woo hoo lady.
You are a wise wonderful mother and to me that is even more important than the hugely successful business woman you are. My kids also made the choice to move back home after renting awhile to get the taste of real life. They decided to return home for a year and saved all the $$ they were spending on a rental/utilites and were able to buy NICE homes in a year with a nice down payment. I fully backed their choices as you seem to with Briana.
You are a GOOD example for many women, and truthfully if you had not returned to OC season, I wouldn't be watching. The other gals are just not holding much interest for me this season.

Vicki,
You have always been one of my favorites!.....Until this lastest episode, when you were talking about selling the house & you dont care what your husband thinks...No wonder your divorced! A marrige is about compromise & atleast talking about it with him. Its seems to be all about you, you, you!

I love you...I love you .....I love you!!! Never stop being who you are! You are a great person...from mother to employer...never let anyone make you believe different!

V,
You're my favorite. You're not a biatch, you're just strong. And Don seems like a really nice guy--sorry that didn't work out.

About Tamra's boyfriend, honestly, when I saw him, Tamra, & that other guy having dinner together, I thought Eddie & that guy were gay! Does anyone else get that sense? Just an opinion, don't know either one of 'em.

I can't stand watching Alexis & Jim or Gretchen & Slade, hope they all get replaced soon. Would like to see whats-her-name back on the show...drawing a blank...the one who has the son who plays baseball.

Vicky I so Love you...You are my favorite by far out of all the shows. You are strong and independent but you still show that you have a sensitive side. People dont get you because they dont understand you. Any woman that works as hard as you do in and out of the household how could you not respect them. I know some people are intimidated by you and thats ok. You are so beautiful. Ive been watching the show from the very beginning. There was never any drama backstabbing until Gretchen joined the show. At first it was all about fun. So I would say they brought her in to stir up mess. But keep your head held high Vicky. You are the best....

In Seatlle you made a statement to one of your employees the boys dont cross their legs. I am sure if a "leg crossing boy" came into your office wanting to buy insurance you would not make that comment. For someone so into their business and career, you do not market yourself or your company very well. Words and actions speak much louder than the kind of car you drive. So happy to hear your daughter is thinking of putting distance between the two of you.

Vicki,

You took the words out of my mouth about Alexis' son James. I was so sad when his daddy wouldn't let him ride in the car with him. I hope you're right that Jim realizes the opportunity he missed. I love you OC women!! But I can hardly stomach the way Jim treats Alexis.

"No scratchy the woody"!???? I thought your comment to the mexican worker who was at your home working on your railing was very rude and disrespectful. He is a PERSON trying to earn a living just like you. You looked down your nose at him like he was inferior to you. For someone that thinks they are sooo elevated and intelligent sure says some very stupid things at times.....

I adore you! You are so damn funny. 'no scratchy the woody'. Haha. Love it.

You're real, you're funny and you're a loyal person. You're a great Mom and you believe in true love and just because Donn is a 'nice guy' you know it doesn't mean that he is your one all be all. There are nice guys everywhere, but you have to do what makes you happy, and you seem to be doing that. A guy is out there that will sweep you off your feet and give you those butterflies that I think you've always been searching for. You deserve it.

Kudos to you!

Vicki,

You have a great work ethic and are a great role model to your children. You don't seem like an OC bimbo like the other ladies, you are the only one who seems grounded and real. Jeanna was the only other one like you and now she's gone. It's smart that you are still on the show because that is the best (and free) advertisement for your insurance company. I just feel bad that you have to put up with these women to pursue that end.

Hi Vicki, I just LOVE your daughter, I have a son for her. He would be perfect for her. He is 24. Let me know if you are interested :-) Love, Love, Love her!!!

Vicki - you are great - high-strung, but great! Don't trust Tamra. She's blaming Simon for anything she said bad about you last season, however looking back at some of the episodes - it is clear she "goes with the crowd". Simon wasn't around in many of the scenes where she spoke badly about you to the other women. She is a backstabber and now needs someone on her side. Good luck to you and yours.

Vicki-so far this season I have seen a little bit different side of you. I like that we get to see more of your life without the other women to see who you really are and how you live your life. I am interested in what you thought of Tamra's bathtub scene also-I agree with other viewers that said that if Gretchen or Alexis had done something like that you would've def made a comment and I agree. I can honestly say I thought Donn was great also but I do know that the camera only catches so much and we don't see what is happening all the time in your marriage and even the greatest of guys have their flaws or can change. I hope you are happy and are having a great time!

What happened to you, Vicki? You are so angry, bitter and self-involved in each episode, barking orders to everyone all the time. No one can fill your love tank....ever....except a few fat insurance policies, perhaps. I am sorry for your divorced. I am not surprised.

You were kind of mean to Lynn the past couple of years, I find it odd that you say it was nice to catch up with her! Just my opinion!

Briana is my favorite person on the show, I think she is the most normal/sane and always is the voice of reason. I wish she were on more!!

I don't like Peggy and find it odd that you and Tamra are suddenly friends with her when you have said in the past with Gretchen and Lynn that you didn't want anyone else in your "circle". . .

Take care!

Glad to see you back this season, Vicki! Life is too short, if you weren't happy in your marriage, you made the right decision to end it.

Vicki i love you.. your are a hard working women that put her kids first. I hope that your keep up with the good work and don't change because out of the women on this show let the fame get to there head and you haven't yet so please don't change.

Hi Vicki,
I am so impressed by you and your business skills!!! I am a 38.5 business woman that recently lossed almost everything. I have been trying to pull it together since June 2010. I would like to know what kind of insurance business your in. Would like to share your success with another women! Please share, I need something else to do that would actually make money in this economy.

VICKI!
You rock girlfriend! Don't listen to anyone stating otherwise. In previous episodes I've seen how even the men have ganged up on you, the women don't defend you, and it's all because you're a powerful, independent successful woman! Honestly, I have no idea how you keep your composure while having to deal with some of your castmates.

Let the success of YOUR children be a testament to WHO'S REALLY doing it RIGHT, baby! Getting two kids thru college, maintaining a dynamite career and making it look easy is something to be proud of.

Vicki,
thanks for talking about the fun stuff again like it used to be. I have been watching season 2 and 3 that I purchased a couple weeks ago and it reminded me of why I liked the show from the beginning. There was never any drama, it was only fun. I'm hoping that comes back full circle again. Funny how things changed when Gretchen came along. I wish you and Don the best as you move forward.
