if i wasn't a gay man, Alexis, i would ASK YOU TO MARRY ME!! you are SUCH a SWEETHEART and have SUCH NOBLE instincts!! more of us should follow your example darling girl! PS HEATHER IS A SNOT

Alexis, I liked you way more last night! You definitely showed your sweet and fun side! XO

OMG Alexis! The first three paragraghs of your blog is straight out of junior high! We were friends before they were friends.... You really need to get a life you have way to much time on your hands for petty nonsense. In comparison to Heather you do sound very uneducated. Sorry, just sayin.

Alexis, I agree with you on the image Heather is setting this season. I don't understand the need to always bash you on every episode. I honestly feel it is a way to make her feel better about herself. Being blunt and being rude are TWO different things. I think Heather needs to think before she talks! Sorry you have to always be belittled by her. Next time leave her at home! Seems like you had a great time on your glamping trip. It is so nice seeing you laugh and getting to have fun girl time. Very sweet of you to go the extra mile with all the special goodies for the girls. Fun episode to watch. Take care & God Bless!

Alexis I think that was nice for taking the girls camping etc. Heather was asking WAY too many questions and being nosy, Your blog was well said this week. People are starting to see Heather for who she is now!!!

Bravo - PLEASE POST!!!!

Alexis...Lex....Al....whatever! The purpose of the comments on your blog is so that viewers can respond to your blog. If you don't like what we have to say, then kindly don't read the comments!!!! I would re-think attacking the viewers in your blog in the future!!! - regardless of what our opinions are!

For someone who everyone else claims is not intelligent, your blog was wisely written. Stay positive and away from the negative and jealous people like Heather. You are prettier than Heather, and she knows it. Heather thinks she is leveling the playing field by knocking your intelligence. You aren't polished with how you speak, but you humble, kind, and sincere. Being a polished speaker does not indicate intelligence. It often indicates those who are polished at being fake. The fans will continue to admire you, as they have, for rising above all of the other pettiness.

Love you Alexis!! What I really love about you since you started on this show is you've always been nice to everyone and you don't talk poorly or make fun of the other girls. It was so nice to see Peggy get off the show since she seemed like a big thorn in your side- and of course lo and behold we have Tamra picking on you now..last season it was Gretchen. Maybe Tamra is waiting for next season to order your friendship bracelet? Then maybe she will be nice.. just needs someone new to pick on to make herself feel better.

Heather could use a lesson on class...is your schedule free or are your classes booked for the semester??? AWESOME BLOG & truly inspirational!

Alexis~ Thank you for the definition. After readnig your first paragraph.....I am "kindly not reading your blog" Had you not put the thought out there I would have read your blog however after that off putting line....I am done. And just when I didn't think I could dislike you anymore than I already do.

I loved your campout! You are always trying so hard to be sweet and thoughtful to others and it looked like so much fun! I laughed at how many times you called the guy to check on the status of food, requests for things etc....I would have been doing the same thing! Heather's behavior is so hilarious because she has listened to Tamara without getting to know you at all and then she appears to try to systematically tear you down....but you know how to handle yourself! She does seem to project onto you the way SHE is. All of the things she puts you down for are her own issues! It is wonderful to see you having fun with your friend...and for making friends with Vicki. It is great that you two patched things up! One more thing....Loved the idea of a fake ring and keep the real deal safe ....I actually know quite a few women who do that for certain events or everyday life...and they bring out the good jewelry at other certain events. Great idea! Love seeing on the show and cant wait to tune in next week!

Dear Sweet Alexis, Thank you for sharing you "Glamping" trip! I didn't even know this existed. My daughter has been after us to take her camping but I'm not down with roughing it. Thanks to you, I will be taking her "Glamping." She is so excited! Frankly,I not surprised Vicki and you have found a way to get past your difference and become friends. Vicki has many flaws but I have heard her over the seasons make mention of the Lord and when Jesus has your heart, deep down you are a kind a forgiving person. I don't understand the hypocrisy of Tamara having a problem with your friendship. All I can say is we the viewers have witnessed her on many occasions be ridiculous jealous and behave badly. Now there is someone who needs to find the Lord! Heather is making herself look like a mean snob the way she constantly has to patronize you. She's not doing herself any favors. I guess every show need a villain and now that Tamara is trying to get the audience to like her more with her faux friendship with Gretchen, Heather is leading the cast as number one witch! Don't even get me started on Gretchen! She wrote that she heard something at church that made her decide to forgive Tamara and all the things she has done. Yet, she is willing to throw away your real friendship?! You can't be a Cafeteria Christian and pick and choose when you want to follow the word of God. She's a fool! I would love to have a friend like you. Hang in there sweets! We see your heart my sister in Christ! You have a light! Blessings! Susan

Good Job Alexis, Don't worry about Heather, she is just being Caty...Meow. Keep taking the high road.

Alexis,

I have watched this show for a long time. I cannot understand how you can be friends with Gretchen, she is by all accounts disgusting. It is clear that she does not share your same beliefs, morals or family values. It is too clear that all this time that Tamra hating Gretchen was because she was jealous of her and wanted to be just like her. Now having her breast removed she can look just a little more like her. She isn't fooling anyone....the viewers knew she was jealous of Gretchen since day one. Vicki is lost, she has been for a long time since she aligned herself with that trashy Tamra. She sacrificed her marriage to stay in the game. The best thing you could do is befriend Heather, be yourself, be honest, and don't get caught up with that bunch ie, Tamra, Vicki, Gretchen they are unhappy with themselves, and will drag everyone around them into the gutter with them. Better yet do your own thing...I think more people would rather see the real you.

I juat hope you do what is best for you for your future. I to have put my life on hold for my children. Now at 40 I feel like I have a lot to catch up on and am back in school. I should have gone to school a long time ago and should be half way through a career not just starting. Jim does not realize what he is asking...(or maybe telling you) Take it from a woman who has done what your husband is asking you to do. You will regret putting your life on hold until later. He knows not what he asks of you. Trust me I know, I've been there.

I loved your blog!! I really hope you can defend yourself in person when it comes to Gretchen & Tamra, I am SO SICK of their drama!! I can't believe they question you & Vicki about your friendship when their's is crazier than anything!! First off, they HID their friendship and she gave her that stupid bracelet, c'mon now - what grown woman does that?? They are filled with hate for you and it's so apparent, you need to shut them DOWN!! You are better than both of them and I think it's time you gave us some dirt on Gretchen, maybe that will shut her up!!!

Alexis - Commenting that your explanation for renting does not make sense is not being rude, it is clarifying to you that homes are being sold at the bottom of the market and it doesnt make sense to rent. Obviously you have credit issues and that is why you are renting and you are embarassed that people don't buy your reasons. You say things that don't make sense and that is why someone very intelligent like Heather questions you. Maybe the bimbos that you hang out with don't know any better, but she does. Heather is very classy and smart and you should really try to be friends with her, you could learn a lot from her.

Although there have been many jabs taken at Alexis thus far in the season, she comes off well because she is the least scripted and manufactured. When she has an uncoming surgery (which still comes with a negative stigma) she doesnt fake an injury to explain a future discrediting episode (ahem, Gretchen).

For cosmetic surgery, to each girl her own! And clearly, anyone filming the procedure is not self conscious about it.

I now have a taste for glamping!

Just keep on doing what ur doing...rising above the "stupid" drama! Let Tamara and Gretchen have each other, anyone that would want to be friends with the likes of Tamara is not thinking with their brain! btw...ur nose looks beautiful!

Hi Mrs. Bellino! I have a question. In the scene where You & Shannon are putting together the s'mores gift bags, WHAT was the nail polish on your nails? I've been looking for a color exactly like it to know avail! Help! Thank you,

Jessica

Your comments about Gretchen's and Tamara's friendship are just as or even more snide than anything Tamara or Gretchen have said about you and Vicki. If you can forgive Vicki I don't know why you keep going on and on and on about Gretchen and Tamara. Enough already. You also have snide comments about Heather yourself...so please don't act like it is only coming from her. You made a comment on the show about her complaining only after you had a list of complaints about it being full camping, not glamping. Do you even hear yourself when you speak? You seem to be more judgmental than most of the other girls combined, maybe you need to pray about that as well.

Amen Sister! I wish you could speak to these ladies the way that you write! You are completely right about Heather. You are great and I have really become a huge fan of yours!! Love your family and that you aren't afraid to say how God is in your lives!!!! Love love love you!

you should take some class lessons from Heather.

It's good to get past things. However, I don't think it was Tamra putting things in Vick's ear. I think you are all responsible for the relationship that unfolded with eachother. Also, while it is evident that Heather doesn't care for you, I can see why she is baffled by you.

I AGREE WITH YOU ON HEATHER...HER ATTEMPTS TO COME OFF LOOKING SUPERIOR AND HIGHLY EDUCATED FAILS IN THE UGLY LIGHT THAT IT IS JUST PLAIN UGLY....JUST TRYING TO PUT SOMEONE ON THE SPOT LIKE SHE WAS DOING IS SOOOOOO TACTLESS..

AS FOR ALL OF Y'ALL COMBINED..YOUR ALL A HOT MESS.

THE TRAUMA DRAMA OF IT ALL...GOD BLESS YOU ALL :)

SINCERELY

Gretchen,

You are nice, kind, gorgeous, and very SMART.

It is unfortunately that Heather hates you because of mean/jealous woman "Tamra"

Alexis, Be careful maybe Heather can help you with advise esp if it is over leaving that horrible man you are married to. You are way to sweet, beautiful and just a darling girl to be with him. On another note, be careful of Vicki, I have seen this same story with her in the past, she can only have one friend at a time and she always is in need to bash someone. stay true to who you are and do not become like her, I would never want her as a friend, She can tell you what is wrong with you but you will never be able to tell her what you think or feel. I will pray for you that God will give you wisdom, courage, and strength

I have always liked you and always will. Tamra was in Heathers ear from the second we the viewers laid eyes on her. They (sad people) like to put you down to feel better about their own world. I admire how you keep trying with kindness and don't let them drag you to their level. It shows me all I care to know the when they start slamming you for being a Christian. It shows their evil hearts doing that because you don't give them any reason for hating you so they attack God. Christian aren't perfect! We know this and that's why we have God. We need him and want him in our life's. God Bless you and keep going strong! And please don't let them ever drag you or Jim down.

Heather was not trying to give you financial advice. She was commenting on the economics of renting a home vs. owning. Even if you are "content" renting, it is a huge financial mistake, because you and your husband are not taking advantage of the tax breaks that are associated with owning a home. Your conversation with Heather consisted of the same information I would give to a friend, co-worker or family member on the differences of renting vs. owning.

Heather wasn't being intrusive. She was merely telling you that now is a good time to buy a home if you have two things: good credit and a hefty down payment. If you do not have both, you can be content on renting. Just saying....

You planned the perfect camping trip!!! There's nothing more relaxing and fun than to just sit by a campfire and chat with friends. And it was SO NICE to finally watch everyone getting along fairly well. The only yelling involved a skunk. If the skunk writes a blog, I'll respond that he was the instigator. Funny how everyone gets along without Tamra there.

LOVE you keep your head up. Don't change and dont ever let anyone try to make you feel inferior.

Alexis, First, I ADORE you! You are one of my FAVORITE OC Housewives! However, I can see why Peggy left the show only after ONE season. If you go back and hit rewind at the part where you, your assistant and Heather are in your car talking about how many and what kind of cars you own; it REALLY does sound like you're being competitive about material things. That shouldn't matter. Second-If you want to start getting along with Heather and seeing eye to eye you might want to find more of what you two have in common (kids, activities you like to do with your husbands, etc) rather than coming off as who has more of what (material stuff) and acting like it's a competition between you both. Honestly, I know what Tamra meant when she said "Heather actually has money, Alexis doesn't"

Apparently you cannot take a joke! It was obvious that Heather was goofing around.

After giving it some thought, I now believe that cruelty is a defense mechanism heather uses to cover her own insecurities. For some reason your kindness and sweet ways frighten her. She must not be around kind people much so doesn't know how to react.

Alexis, I'm so glad I enjoy your outlook on life which is a pure one. I enjoy watching you grow and mature with joy. You try so hard to do the right thing and I for one would rather you teach my children kindness vs heather's.....well I'm so hoping she watches herself objectively and realizes how she comes across....the reunion show will tell.

I don't know if you had too much wine or what but Heather was not and has not been rude to you once since she joined the show. You just have this jealousy towards her. You want her money and beautiful home so badly that you will try to make the girl look bad...sorry, we are not buying it. Heather was correct.....what in the world are you waiting for??? Everyone knows it is a buyers market....you would have bought a home if you had the money and you know it. No need to make lame excuses. Things are tough for a lot of people right now. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Alexis keep being yourself. Im not surprised you and vicki are friends you both love Jesus and have a strong faith!

You were away from Jim for over 24 hours...why weren't you crying in an outhouse somewhere? Just wondering. Kinda proves that little episode at Peggy's party last year to be total attention seeking B.S. Typical Alexis behavior.

I am sorry Alexsis but if you and your husband have a problem with being talked about on this show then why don't you leave. I know its because you were looking for a way to get noticed you like the attention, and so does your husband. You call yourself religious but yet you do the same things as the other ladies do. Practice what you preach!!!

Huh, you & Vicki both trying to tell us viewers how we're to behave on your blogs. News flash, it's not for you to control our comments!! I'm waiting for the day when you once again see the real Vicki in all her ugliness because the main reason she's being so tranquil with you right now is because she's so steamed that Tamra has been trying to make amends w/Gretchen. Vicki is all about Vicki & the worm will turn again before you know it so buckle up.

that's right! if people dont like ur blog, well just dont read it. I'm a Gretchen Fan but I think her attitude this season makes me rethink if she's a fake like Tamra. I think the Heather has somewhat education but that doesnt she has the right to question anyones finances. Sometimes makes me wonder how her husband puts up with her. She treats him like whatever he says is dumb. well Heather cause of ur husband u have money so treat him well or later you'll be the next to be divorced! Anyways, be yourseld Alexis at the end ur the one that has a true marriage.

UR AWESOME!!

Alexis, you are the classiest of the housewives. You are genuine and try to help others. And for the first time, a friend of a housewife, Shannon, does not cause drama or controversy. What a sweetie!!!

Heather was not being rude or interrogating you when she asked you if the offer on your house went through. She was just making campfire conversation. When Heather realized that you didn't understand the benefits of owning a home vs. renting, she tried to educate you. When it was apparent that she wasn't getting through, she started to ask you questions for clarity.

Be grateful that Vicki wasn’t present. If she were, she would not have hesitated to offer her financial planning services. Vicki would have repeated the same things that Heather told you. Furthermore, Vicki would having told you to live off your husband's earnings, save every penny of the money that you are currently making, and to open up a separate (secret) bank account in your name only.

My friends and I disagree on things and yet we remain friends. You remain positive and maybe the others will come up a notch in their behavior. There's always less crow to eat later. It would be more fun for you ladies to make tons of money in business deals and then share with us how to do. You ALL need to show us how to put on makeup too. All the housewives have that one down.

Heather you are a much welcomed addition to this show.  From reading the comments, it appears that some are not watching the same show. Alexis comes across as an airhead, goes out of her way to one up "the competition" and never shuts up.  She may be nice as some on here have claimed but all I have seen are her making snarky comments. She is no Real Housewife Angel.  I for one am glad that you are unafraid to voice your "confusion" whenever Alexis makes her numerous ridiculous comments. You never need to apologize for being smart, intelligent or rich. Alexis' scenes are pure comic relief and to Bravo I say thank you!

Heather was trying to help you understand that if you're paying the same amount to rent that you might as well buy since you'll also be able to get some equity in doing so. You should try listening. Maybe then you won't assume that just because someone is saying something opposite of what you're thinking, that it's because they're mean. People can have their own opinions, especially ones that are different than you or your God's...oops! I meant husband.

I really liked Vicki around Alexis. I do not think Vicki was uptight like she is with Tamra. I was shocked at how jealous Heather is of Alexis. Funny thing is everything that comes out of Heather's mouth is how her husband is a Plastic Surgeon and that her friends fly in Helicopters and that they have to drink Cristal wine ....I think it is Heather that seems to always have to prove herself "Richer" than Alexis. Alexis admitted that she wears a fake diamond and rents how much more humble do you have to be than that Heather?? Vicki is the one with the real money and that is obvious. I think the camping trip would have been better with out Heather the other four seemed to get along great.
