I think you have been a great addition to the show. And while I like some of the other ladies you do really bring some class to the OC. As for you being an actress. I loved the show That's Life and have been hoping for it on DVD for like the last half a decade and I immediately recognized you when the adds for OC started.

I look forward to seeing more from you and I hope you don't get sucked into all of the drama.

I truly hope you read this...

Heather, you seem to be very intelligent, articulate, and an overall well rounded person. I don't believe you to be "too high-brow" for the show, but its CLEAR (and I hope its clear to you as well) that if anything, the RHOC is in major need of a recast. The show over the years has become trashy and vulgar, filled with scandal and tarnished reputations. You seem to have a lovely family life. You're also a very well known, respected actress. Why would you even try to jeopardize any of that by doing a reality show, much less RHOC? They are the LEAST respected and least watched RH series (IMO). My advice to you would be to finish the season strong, then leave. Go on to different ventures, maybe a place you can actually have executive control? It just seems to me that anyone associated with the RHOC (OC exclusively, as I believe the BH series to be phenomenal, filled with successful, and well respected women) has horrible misfortune come to or done maliciously to them, and I truly hope thats not the case for you. I wish you well as you are my new favorite on the show. But please tread lightly, these shows THRIVE on your misfortune. -concerned viewer from San Francisco

You are a great addition. Cannot wait to see you interact with Alexis. Really liked Peggy...sorry to see her go. You seem ready for this challenge. Respect the fact Peggy knows it is not best for her and left.

For the record, No, Peggy should not have told Alexis, they were married when she found out. You never interfere in a marriage especially with children. Jim should have if he thought it necessary.

I don't know you and haven't seen much yet but one thing I will ask is next time you go out to dinner and wanna complain about how they open menus remember people (like myself as a server) work extremely hard for their money and make like two dollars an hour. Some people really should have to work as a server for just one day before being aloud to go out and eat . You really come off as nasty

Heather! I gave up watching RHOC for a few years but decided to watch again -- thanks to YOU! I loved 'That's Life'! I remember watching that series on a day off and a channel showcased a 'That's Life' Marathon. Since then I've been a fan of yours. I so want to continue to be a fan of yours. I do hope you're the daisy of the bunch! Wishin' you all the best. Cheers****

Shiksa... really?

Just a tad bit offensive.

I was just wondering if you have ever considered that two children can in fact share a bedroom. It can be done!! Oh wait! That would be beneath you and your standards. Boy, I sure hope the homeless people in the world sleep warming while you are building yet another mansion. WOW!

Really, you never watched a single episode of RHOC, and you agreed to do the show....WOW

Heather, I'm glad you were added to the show. you have a great personality and your very pretty. This show has been my favorite ever since I have seen the first episode.

Well, Heather, welcome!
You've walked into a minefield...so be VERY cautious! No haha!
Wear flats, that way you wont' destroy lovely shoes....

Heather, you say "I thought some of the girls were rude about the food"...You were a little catty about that when talking to your husband at dinner. Didn't he call it "low rent"? You come off as if you feel a little too highbrow for these ladies, but I suppose we will see.

Heather, what a breath of fresh air you are . And the populas is right. You are what everyone of those so called housewives want to be . You have it all .. Vicky I am sure will come at you with some cut down about you not " working" she thinks that if you do not get in your car and drive to an office you do not work ... what a joke .. You are beautiful... finally a brunette... and a doll at that . Do not let those wanna bees scare you .. Gretchen and Tamara are about as real as they come there ... you should not get much from them .. but be prepared for Alexis and Vicky .. Alexis .. now that is another story .. she puts God first .. gimme a break .. she is half nude all the time .. she parties .. and if she is about God... kemme see her donate her money from the show to her church .. they don't need it right .. they have it all !! .. Good luck on the show .. I hope you enjoy it and stick around .. it's gonna get good ! Hugs , Natalie

You're a breath of fresh air. Don't stoop to their level. Take offense when offended & good luck to you.

Heather, welcome to the show!!!! As a viewer, you are going to add 'that touch of class' & appears that you will be alot of fun as well...... Not afraid to speak out & say it the way it is!!! As a Tamra fan, I'm thrilled that the two of you appear to be friends & in hopes it lasts.... The two of you are different in many ways but still say things the 'way they are & not afraid to do so'.....
You're husband & children seem absolutely wonderful & enjoy watching you on the show.......... :)

Give it time. Viki the (leader) will start turning everybody against you. Tamara is her follower!!

You are a sidekick of tamra. And it tells lot about you. Hope u r not returning to next season.

Heather -
You're husband's reference to Vickie's dinner party featuring Cajun Cuisine as low-rent, was misinformed and extremely snotty and rude. He obviously is unaware that some of the finest chefs in America have made a name for themselves cooking Cajun-style food --i.e Emeril Lagasse, Paul Prudhomme, John Besh and the list goes on and on. Tell him next time he wants to play amateur food critic to keep his mouth shut!

Heather, I find you a delightful and intriguing addition to the show. Looking forward to seeing how your personality, presence, and magnetism affects the dynamic throughout the season. Should be interesting! Best wishes to you and your family - and nice to see a NY girl in the OC!!

You are already my favorite!

Heather .. I think you are gorgeous and I love your family! Welcome and hang on for the ride...your with a tough crowd!

Hi Heather - loved your home!!! Please tell me where you got those amazing mirrored plaques on your formal dining room wall???

I like you, Heather! I was wracking my brain trying to figure out where I had seen you on TV before. Thanks to the other viewers for pointing out it was under your maiden name.
You need to ignore those other housewives. Just be who you are...classy...and let them self destruct!
Hang in there!

At last, a woman is truly a housewife! Obviously a much needed addition to this show. The OC ladies are feeling intimidated, but I think they will all come around except that horrible Alexis. So nice to see a true classy woman with real wealth on this show.

Too new to form an opinion yet,but early days are not positive. Either from you or from the rest of the group.

Heather you are my new favorite housewife. You are a true lady. Also I am from the south and when we eat crawfish or shrimp we pour it out on the table and dig in! Didn't like the garbage bags of crawfish. Tacky.

Heather is a lovely lady with lots of brains and class. Unfortunately you have very expensive tastes. I know what plastic surgeons make and you are burning through your husband's money like water. That is not so good. The costs of private school and mortgage payments and taxes put stress on a marriage. Heather is a winner and a welcome addition to this production.

I think you are great Heather! You are everything the other women are trying so hard to be but fall so short. You're classy and you behave like an adult. I can believe the language, behavior, hoots and hollers that come out of the other women. It makes the OC look very trashy. It's nice to see someone living up to what she has but even better...you have a great family life and it's obvious you adore your children. I am looking forward to watching you. Maybe the other women can follow your example on how on a wealthy, classy, adult lady should dress and behave in public. Best Wishes!

I haven't decided yet if I like you are not. I have you in the neutral zone right now.

Heather I love you!!!! When I was in school before DVR's and TIVO's I would stay home to watch your show every Friday night before going out!!!! I absolutely loved it!!!! Also, I was a Barista at the Starbucks In Newport Coast and seriously had to deal with the Bellino Family (headaches), past housewives, but never met you-I'm so bummed :-(
You are what this show needs! Thank you!!!

I think you're a great addition Heather. Only, I am thinking that perhaps you belong on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (although you don't live in BH)! My husband grew up in Chappaqua. I think it's lovely!

Heather you have more class in your little toe than Alexis has in her whole body..she and her hubby Jim are hypocrites......you r a classy

First of all, if you are a good actress, you would have done your homework as ALL actors do before taking a project and you would have watched every past season and every past episode. Which, I'm sure that even though you deny, you most likely did. I'm not sure what people are trying to gain when they go on these reality shows and pretend they have never seen them. Lying, for no reason, on the first show tells me what we may have to look forward to this season. Not impressed, but I hope you change my mind.

My new favorite housewife on the OC!! Great addition! Your're so cute!

Yes, great addition! I am a dude but I'll admit I love the show because there's nothing I like more than watching crazy, jealous, manipulative women create their drama. I love to look at Gretchen & Alexis because they ARE both smoking hot! However, they're both also vapid, self consumed and pretentious, and collectively have the intelligence of a box o' rocks!

I gotta say though, there is absolutely no way, you couldn't have have known who these people are or seen the show before, for that matter. This is the flagship in a series franchise, its about wealthy orange county 'socialites' and one of the most popular and well known shows on tv. Being that you are a- an actress, b- wealthy, c-married to a man who was also on a reality tv show, and d- an orange county resident, you can identify with all aspects of the show. I like your personality but if you have in fact seen the show before, I think you should just come out and admit it otherwise I'm sure a lot of people will probably feel like right off the bat, even though you're very cool, they really cant fully trust the things you say as I do. Not that what anyone thinks should matter to you, but I'm just sayin! And trust, Imma keep watching! I love me some crazy!!!

That's Life was one of my favorite shows. I was really sad when it was canceled.

Welcome, Heather! I am so glad they have finally brought someone with class on the show!! I can hardly see you giving a Vicki "Woo-hoo" (how annoying and low rent) or doing a porno bathtub scene a la Tamra...we are so happy to have you and hope you stay for the long run! By-the-way, do you have any classy friends like yourself that you can introduce to the producers so we can get replace the rest of the low rent cast..?

With all the drama that surrounds RHOC, you are a breath of fresh air. I love the other girls, but I just love how you are so real with everyone. I love how you stated your hubby tells corny jokes and that you will hear them until the day you die. That just sounds like something the rest of us would think or say. You are who you say you are and nothing more. There are so many people out there trying to keep up with the "Jones'", but not you! You are the "Jones'"! I think you are fabulous!

I myself, thought you were arrogant and somewhat rude. I also believe that you married your honey for the money...sorry if the truth hurts. I don't respect people that attempt to belittle others with the wealth & fame...so sad to be you. If anyone is 'real' it's Gretchen! She's very down to earth even though she has chosen a man who is beneath her. Tamara, Vicki, Alexis and you shall get along oh so well with being phoney!

I have watched since season 1 and generally I don't like the new girls. BUT I really love Heather!

About her being an actress, her IMDB is huge and she even said in the pre season interviews something like:

"Each year I do one show and film the pilots. Then when it's time for them to pick up the show or not I am sad and relieved BOTH when each year my pilot is NOT picked up!" because she is also a very busy mom and wife. So I think that is awesome. She is still doing it but each year the show doesn't take off. That is sooo normal in the tv/film industry! Doesn't make her any less of a real actress!

Think your great...enjoy watching on the show.

Oh Heather! How refreshing. You actually have money, not that it really matters but im tired of the "contest" on this show of who is "richer". You have class and actually love your children! People please don't fault her because she is rich. Atleast she doesn't pretend to be rich and she isn't an idiot. She can be taken serious. Is good on t.v., unlike some idiotic attempts by brainwashed Alexis. What a moron. By the way Heather, watch out for that rocket scientist I can see envy is taking over her feeble mind when she is around you. Ha I love it! You are great!

Glad you made the comment about serving the Low Country Boil a different way. I guess the "gourmet" chefs in Cali don't know how to serve it properly. The other ladies seemed very closed minded about it. Sorry, I'm all about the food.

Hello,
Good to see a new lady join the show! Although I wish they replace Alexis with Peggy! :D
I agree with you about the ring comment! Even if you are engaged within a week there better be a ring!
Your family seems really cute and loving. I would love to see you build a new home while on the show or even enlarge your current home to make room for the new addition to your family. :)
I look forward to seeing more of you this season and getting to know you!
xoxoxoxo

Heather,
I am confused. You say you are Jewish, yet you have a buddah in your house and say you are buddist. Are you not a believer of Jewish religion--just claiming to be of Jewish descent? Because I know the Jewish religion believes the 10 Commandments of which Commandment #1 is "thou shalt have no other gods besides Me." --and Commandment #2 is "thou shalt not make any graven images, thou shalt not bow down to them, nor serve them" (ie. the buddah statue). God is a jealous God--He even states it in Exodus 20:4--read what's in store for people who don't believe what God says. But, since we are all sinners and have not kept the law, God sent his Son, Jesus, to die for our sins. So that whoever believes in Jesus will have everlasting life. John 3:16. I encourage you and your family to search for the real Truth for this is more important than anything this world has to offer.

I very much liked your character in the TV series "That's Life". However, your current role in a reality series is dreadfully boring. I am no longer watching the show.

Heather, I have not seen enough of you to make my own assessment, but I do know this -- you are what the other ladies are pretending to be. My prediction? Most of them (I doubt Gretchen will join in) will end up attacking you out of sheer jealousy. Vicki will lead the pack. You are way too much competition --

hi heather,
you seem like a nice lady, don't let the jealous ones get to you.Have fun being on the show but don't really take any of them too serious.if they don't have as much as you do, they will show their pettiness.keep your head held high and keep your eye on gretchen and slade.

To thos who have commented on te imdb listing for Heathe Dubow an saw the one credit for a movie anout giant space slugs, Look up Heather Dubrow not Heather Dubow. Her acting credits are extensive. She is also listed under the name Heather Paige Kent.

Okay Heather I don't know you at all, but...Can I just say from a bartender/server point of view you suck at being a customer! These people wait on you hand an foot and you do nothing but COMPLAIN! Seriously open your eyes and make sure sure you treat them the respect you think you think you deserve. If not, I wouldnt touch your food I Were you

Well, so far I'm not liking it. Bring yourself down a peg or two! Now your husband on the other hand seems to be down to earth and a hoot. Would liken to see him instead.
