Such a Rush

Alexis' welcomes you back to the O.C. and discusses the perils of live television and Peggy.

Feb 8, 2012

Hi again! I'm not sure if you all are ready for this, but put your seat belts on because it is going to be a bumpy ride! LOL! I hope you all have been well, and are ready for the excitement again. I think I am!

The scene with Vicki and Michael was cute. It's so typical of a mom/son scene. And I loved the last line, "Mom, Don't be annoying!" I will too soon be hearing those words I'm sure!

For the most part, I think Episode 1 remained calm. I mean, you have to get caught up on what all of us are doing, right? Uh-um, well, maybe it wasn't so boring since the two arch enemies seemed to make the peace! I have such mixed emotions about Gretchen and Tamra's little "love lunch." For starters, it seemed to all happen so quickly. There was no romance, no prelude. . .just BAM! OK, now we are friends. I mean a friendship bracelet with a lock and key? Really? As strange as it is that they have rekindled their friendship, I began this season actually glad they had! I thought, "Oh good, less tension now and for once maybe we can all get along." OK, OK, I couldn't be more wrong! LOL!

I think Alexis should have an issue with her husband not Peggy, and maybe she didn't tell her because of the way Alexis is acting now. She keeps saying Peggy was a stalker, seems like she may be insecure and Jim might be a little loose with the truth about himself...

Alexis,

I felt very bad for you because it appears that right from the beginning you have been designated as the new target of the season. What I have trouble understanding is, why? From what I have seen you have never done anything to these women. I was however glad to see that Vicki appears to be not participating in this bad behavior and I hope it continues. I thought the conversations Tamra was having about you were disgusting and very juvenile. Trying to get the new girl, Heather, dislike you from the very beginning was typical immature mean girl behavior by both Tamra and Peggy. The conversation between her and Peggy was flat out embarassing. Peggy is acting disrespectful to not only you, but to her husband in my opinion. She shouldn't even be discussing her previous relationships in such detail when she is married. She should also understand that your long time friendship was obviously going to be negatively affected when it was revealed that she dated your husband without your knowledge. I'm glad that you and Jim worked this out, but if it was short-lived and felt nothing for her and thought that she felt the same about him, he probably didn't think that it was worth mentioning. I think that it is obvious by the way that Peggy has been gunning for you that she has ill feelings about how their relationship ended. I previously dated my best friend's husband before they got married and it has never come between us because she knew about it. It is more of a joke for us to laugh at because everyone involved harbors nothing but positive feelings towards one another and we wish each other all the happiness in the world. I just find Peggy's behavior to be vile and am glad that she is no longer a cast member of the show.

As for Tamra's rude comments about how you don't have real money, absolutely appalling. Especially in this economic climate, to ridicule anyone for their financial status is disgusting. She could easily find herself in a difficult financial situation being a real estate agent. The housing market is a mess and she herself mentioned before that her house with Simon was in short sale. You appear to be working hard to bring in more income to your family and she should be ashamed of herself to feel superior to anyone who may be having financial difficulties.

Still talking about Peggy? Get a life.

Your husband Jim, kept a secret from you, and you are embarrassed about it. (I would be too).

I doubt very much Jim dumped Peggy. That is his version to you, and we all know how forthright he was with you. He's only all that in your eyes.

Peggy is lucky she got out. She traded up, HELLO, (Micah).

Stop talking about Peggy, your embarrassing yourself.

Alexis, it was so nice to hear your children say grace at the table. Refreshing for sure!

What's the big deal with Jim dating Peggy? I don't get why these women have to make such a big deal about who Jim dated. It was a long time ago and I'm sure men don't make a list of each person they dated and share it with their wives. It's none of their business, maybe Peggy should tell us everyone she dated. Jim picked you and that's what's making her mad. Her self esteem is low and she is married to a jerk. She and her husband apparently have their own financial issues, maybe she needs to address and resolve her issues before she starts on other people. Good Luck in your new job. Oh by the way, I dont blame Jim for avoiding these crazy witches.

Keep living your life...you are above these women! You are so correct about Tamara. She is the most vulgar and trashy one on the show. Yuck! I hope Gretchen keeps her eye on her bc I don't believe for a minute she doesn't have motives!

It is not Peggy's fault that JIM DIDN'T TELL YOU! It wouldn't be a friends place to step in if your husband can't even step up the plate. From what I gather it seemed like a small fling when she was young. WHO CARES? You are so insecure.

Right off the bat...you prove to everyone how you are so not Mrs. Godly!!! I really wish you were not on this show!!

No offense, but you need to get over the whole Peggy/Jim thing. It was ages ago...and the two of you didn't know each other. If you and Peggy were friends back then when it happened and you just found out about it now...then I could see an issue (and still not horrible). I think that is blown way out of proportion. Everyone had a life prior to their spouses...all three of you need to move past it!!!

Stop knocking Peggy please, it is very unattractive and rude.

Alexis:

I loved your black and pink dress from kast night's show. Can you please tell me who it is made by. Thanks!

Alexis, it was not Peggy's place to tell you that she had been with your husband. Your husband is the one who should have told you. I bet that if Peggy would have told you first, he would have denied it and you would have believed him and still gotten mad at her! Peggy is not the problem. Your husband is. Think of all the other stuff he hasn't told you.

Alexis,

As per your spot on Fox 5, I have no words...

Alexis,

I really don't understand your relevence...you continue to fight with Peggy over your husband...who cares...that is not for us to even be interested in. So what, he and she were an item at one time...that is in the past and we don't care. He does not want to be on the show, so why should he even be mentioned by any of you...he is not relevent. Ignore Peggy and any remarks she makes about him. Move on and stop being so into yourself, that is not a Christian way to protray yourself, albeit, it does being on some drama...but wouldn't being real be more to "reality" or does reality now mean be someone entirely different than you really are???? You are truly one of the most self-absorbed, worldly, phony Christians I have ever seen. I don't think God wants us to insult others, be so over the top with our (falsies), inject all of these foreign matters into our bodies, walk around in strings for bathing suits, expose our bodies for men to lust over, sling vulgarity when provoked, deliberately lie to one another. Who are you engaging in faith with???? You need to look in the mirror beyond the injections and see if that person looking back at you is who you were intended to be. Get over yourself.

Love you.. keep your head held high!

Hi there, Alexis -- saw you and your sweetheart in Laguna Beach on Superbowl Sunday -- you are even lovelier AFRTV. Nice Laboutins!

I really hope Bravo posts this because I'm dying to know......last season reunion show...Jim said Peggy stalked him because he dumped her. Then Peggy tried to counter with a comment like "I went to his house because he wouldn't return my calls!" Ummm...isn't that STALKING?! Why didn't anyone call her out on that?! Personally, I don't care for Peggy. I think she intentionally kissed up to the veterans of the show to secure her place. She picked fights with you and was overly sensitive to anything you said. It was obvious. I'm glad she'll be leaving after a few episodes, as I think she's boring to watch. Congrats on your other tv gig.

Alexis,

I think your gig on Fox 5 is someone playing a joke on you. You can't seriously think you are any good at being (and I use the term loosely) a correspondent. You were H O R R I B L E.

Your husband will never be a partner if you continue to fish for him. Teach him to fish and your Friday mornings will be even less hectic.

Alexis, I don't think it was Peggy that was talking about Jim. Tamra asked her a question and Peggy could've been vulgar but she wasn't. It was clear she was trying to steer away from Tamra's uncomfortable questions. Once again you are paranoid. By the way, I am from San Diego and I've watched your segment and I have to say its obvious you are not a journalist and have no correspondence skills whatsoever. It's really awkward watching you.

I know you really think that Peggy is the one who has changed, and maybe that is true, but you are blind about how much you have changed. You were constantly trying to one-up her last season about virtually everything that came out of her mouth, which was getting really old. I hope that doesn't continue through this season.

You have ruined OC housewives for me. I loved this show until you came on. Now, I can't stand to watch it. You are so fake and judgemental and I would give anything if they would replace you.

Alexis, You are a trip...I applaud you for working! I am so disappointed in your treatment of Peggy. Its in the past and you should turn to God and learn the lesson of forgiveness.

PS>YOUR WEBISTE DOESN'T WORK--->ITS A FREE DOMAIN FOR GODADDY.COM

I like you!! I think you are sweet! I couldn't agree more with you about the convo that Tamra and Peggy had! Way out of line!

Alexis . . . have you ever considered that you are the only one obsessed with Jim and Peggy's past? It was a no win situation for Peggy because if she had told you she had briefly dated Jim in the past, you would've had negative feelings about her telling you. So she didnt tell you and you still have negative feelings towards her. It was something that happened long ago and far away . . . both of them have moved on and are happy with their spouse's and it's my opinion you should do the same. Just be happy, life's too short to be angry over past issues.

Alexis,no offense to you but it was a snoozefest, I'll take your word for now that it gets better. Vicki puts me to asleep everytime I see her on the screen it's the same old same old thing every year more new people need to be cast on this show IMO.

Who does your hair? Would love to get it colored and absolutely adore, adore, adore your hair! Thank you.

You are starting to look like Kim Z (Atlanta) with your hair...

The Fox 5 thing made me laugh so hard...you were so awful. Maybe you should get there a little early next time and run through the segment?

I'm sure Bravo won't post this but Alexis dear......you're the one who brought up Jim and Peggy. Peggy responded to Tamra and was completely respectful. You come off looking really immature. You need to get over it already. I honestly wish they kept Peggy and got rid of you. Your behavior at the reunion was disgusting. I used to be a fan but now I'm just going to FF through your parts. Hopefully you will grow up this season. I am hopeful and do wish you the best.

Alexis, I for one am very glad there was a lovely lunch, a bracelet exchanged and the prospect of peace. You should ALL want that. As far as you and Peggy go, you should both just remain far away from one another. You don't seem to be able to move past the prior dating relationship they had and she won't take blame for something HE didn't share. The competition between the 2 of you last season was ABSOLUTELY absurd, so let's hope there's not more of the same! Just both act your ages and move on!

Alexis:

OMG....are you for real in your thoughts about Peggy? The main problem is your belief that it was Peggy's place to tell you, well Peggy went to Jim and Jim chose not to tell you and told Peggy just as much. Jim created the tension that now surrounds you and Peggy. It doesn't matter what JIm and Peggy did years ago, what is supposed to matter to you is your family. You yourself have totally started the drama of one upmanship with Peggy that totally made you look so insecure of yourself. Very Sad. Your constant comparisons to Peggy was sad as well. A classy lady always overlooks the past and sees into the future? Do you think you will ever be able to do that? As for Gretchen and Tamara, well time will tell, which of the hot tempered big mouthed blond will start the next feud, but that is between them. The mud slinging was both ways. You are still one of the newbies on this show. Try and see previous seasons and you will see that regardless of the in fighting, the ladies come together when in need. Jim was controlling you and your movements, which is fine to a certain extent, but now you have wings, and Jim apparently still loves you. Do you understand what I am trying to tell you? Bottom line is you can be the woman you want to be with class and dignity, only if you want that. This show has shown you there are no limits to what you can be, as a wife, mother, friend, and a businesswoman without the cattiness. We the viewers love this original show as it began with alot of drama that played out with the ladies caring about each others and the problems they faced. When your insecurities finally leave you, you will see you are one of the ladies. I wish you the best of luck

Why don't you stop talking about her? She has moved on with her life and for the better.

Good for you with your clothing line and correspondent gig Alexis! Ignore Peggy and Tamra and continue taking the high road. However, Peggy has lost my respect since engaging in conversation about your husband's size to Tamra. So rude! I would be fuming. Will we be seeing much of Jim this season? Tamra came off catty as usual except this season she clearly has it out for you. Her friendship bracelet to Gretchen was so fake. She's using Gretchen to irritate you. Why is she so obsessed with comparing you to Heather? She clearly doesn't want you and Heather to play nice, otherwise she wouldn't be dogging you before the party. Tamra liked you so much in the beginning and was envious of your lifestyle. My how people change.... Heather better prepare for Tamra's two-faced friendship. Has she not watched the prior seasons??? Looking forward to this season.

OMG Alexis, how do you handle such a crazy workday morning...ONE DAY A WEEK.....get real lady...most "working" moms, do that FIVE days a week, WITHOUT an assistant. good grief.

You look embaressed about peggy and youre husband. Peggy does not look embaressed about Jim at all.. Get over youreself

I am constantly amazed by how you continue to think that women are actually attracted to your husband, i don't mean to be mean but really Alexis? Look at Peggy's husband, he's adorable and kind why would she ever ever ever be interested in Jim?? And you love to get that "he dumped her, she stalked him" message across whenever you have the chance and I guess you are right about the fact that he never talks about her, as a matter of fact he never told you about dating her right? I think i'd be more upset with a spouse who neglected to tell me that information as opposed to a friend. You really have to get over yourself because honestly there is no one that i know that watches the show that wants what you have or envies you in any way whatsoever, but you really seem to enjoy thinking that. Whatever.

why would u still be mad at peggy for not telling u she dated ur husband. maybe she assumed he told u and didn't want u to feel uncomfortable. afterall, HE is the one who took the vows with you, not her, he should have told u well before he did. his story sounds really shaky to me, think about it...if ur husband dated peggy and she really did end up stalking him when he dumped her as soon as he found out u were hanging out with her, he should have been falling over himself to tell u about it out of concern for ur safely around her above all. at the end of the day, if u discussed ur husband dating peggy with him and u believe him then why not just leave it alone? have to give u the side-eye on this one.

Alexis - You need to deal and deal now with what is going on. You love your husband and can't get mad at him for not telling you he had a history with Peggy, so you are taking it out on her. You need to let it go or be truthful with yourself about who you are really angry with.

Alexis,

I think we were all shocked to see Tamra and Gretchen's "make-up" session. I believe that Tamra got the message loud and clear that the viewers are tired of watching her bullying ways. Watching the show was no longer enjoyable. In fact, I know a lot of my friends and I debated if we would watch this season (even though we LOVED the show, in the past). We all have children and don't condone bullying and rewarding mean girls. However, after watching the previews, it appears as if you all are a little more civil towards each other. I hope you can all behave as mature women so I can maintain my guilty pleasure of watching this show.

I love you Alexis. You are one of my favorite housewives next to Kim Zolciak. The both of you are the only real ones in my opinion. They always say they dont care about jim but its funny how hes the topic of tamras and peggys conversation. They are jealous of you because you are the only one whos marriages works. They are all divorced except for heather. Just because tamras husband simon controlled her doesnt mean jim controls you. Keep your head up high and keep being yourself.

Hang tough girlie! Don't let mean girl and jealous girl Tamra get to you. She has no life and that is why she is consumed with yours! Keep your head up and don't sink to her level!

I agree that conversation between Tamra and Peggy was vulgar - typically Tamra. She should know better than to ask such personal questions about one of her castmate's husbands in front of a camara. But then again she has in IQ of a gnat and the class of an unpaid whore. I do have a question and I hope Andy brings it up at the reunion: Why are you in a different house every single year. Three seasons and three different houses. Seems a little unsavory to me. You're obviously having financial problems. Maybe you should not be buying your little twins matching Louis Vuitton bags? Just a suggestion...

Oh Alexis I don't know why Tamara has to be so nasty towards you. Congrats to you on your new job. I wish you peace and happiness.

Are uou kidding me with you fri am routine? Most moms do that on a daily basis without help/driver- We all pack lunches every day etc! And you forgot to set hubbys alarm? How many kids do you have? My husband and I both have alarms and he manages to get up on his own!! Get in the real world1 And it is so obvious he is hiding somethin in regards to peggy! Love is blind!!

Dr. Booty with a PhD.? Are you serious? They can't be that hard up for TV show in LA.

HYSTERICAL!!!! I am so happy Alexis is back! I adore watching her. She's the Crystal Carrington of reality. (wait which one did Joan Collins Play?)

You spend too much time worrying about who your husband has dated in the past. Get over it already!!!!I think you wished Peggy cared more than she actually does. Focus on your present relationship with your husband and stop talking about the past. It is a really dead subject. No one cares.......

There was nothing vulgar about their conversation, just admit it, Peggy had Jim when he was well, good. :)

Alexis, If you weren't so insecure and childish I imagine Peggy would have told you about her and Jim. I mean, who really cares at this point - you have three children with him. The only person I would be mad at is Jim and since you said you forgave him, grow up and move on. When I watch you on the show I feel like I am watching a teenager who can't handle adult relationships. Your narcissist of a husband is the last man on the planet any woman (in there right mind) would want so I highly doubt Peggy is obsessed with hi,

I noriced on your pink nail polish manicure, you had your ring fingers painted a different color (silver). Is that a new nail trend? Thanks for answering crazy questions.
