Last Call

Sarah explains her point of view of the bowling debacle.

Apr 11, 2012

Bowling + Champagne + Drama = Last call for Alcohol

I am just going to start off by saying that truth be told there always comes a point in everyone's life after a long night that you really have to take a moment to stop and ask yourself... "What the F--k!?!" LOL. . .

As much as I would love to laugh about this whole bowling extravaganza, I want to be completely honest here by saying that embarrassed wouldn't even be the right word to describe the outcome of this evening.

I'm sure that chances are either you, or someone you know, may have had an "outer space moment" at some point, and sometimes you really just have to own it and move on. There are always two sides to every story.

I know it sounds so cliche, but seriously I had just about the worst day possible before I even got to the bowling alley. I was in the middle of a rough relationship period and was pretty much in tears by the time I got to the bowling alley. So logically thinking I shoulda/woulda/coulda have just called it a night and went home. But I thought that maybe spending some quality time with the girls would cheer me up a bit. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.

It really would not have mattered if you showed up in glittery clothing and jewels and didnt drink....if you arent known to have a ton of money, there is no entrance into what you percieved as "the group" . Some of the most ill mannered folks consider themselves above everyone else no matter what . People hopefully live and learn about drinking as they get older and know how much they can handle . I personally thought it odd to serve drinks to everyone in a bowling alley, but each to his or her own! In any case, you can always look back on last nights episode and have a good laugh.....it was sheer entertainment!

Holy Smokes Sarah, what show were you watching last nite? Maybe I was watching something different. You kept on talking to Gretchen about I have your back if Vicki wants to say or start something. YOU MENTIONED NOTHING ABOUT BRIANNA TO GRETCHEN. ARE YOU INSANE????!?!? You sounded so confrontational. I almost fell off my chair in laughter and confusion after reading your blog. You must be from a different planet. Get a life and lay off the booze. LUV YOU HEATHER!

I must admit, when I watched the show the first time I thought you were too aggressive when you spoke to Vickie. But, after reading your blog and watching it again, I must agree with you. Yes, you were pretty tipsy, but you were not aggressive or mean in any way. You could have handled it much better if you hadn't been so drunk. Vickie did ask you a little nicer a second time what you wanted to talk about but you were already stuck on her initial reaction. My advice to you is to quit drinking.

Oh, dear Sarah. You were so out of line at that party, please don't turn it around on anyone. Heather and her husband (not wife) Terry were very gracious to you when you were not invited by them. You approached Vicki in a very confrontational way and no one wants to speak to a sloopy drunk. Relationship issue...ummm....weren't you there with your fiance? Stop making excuses for your bad behavior. If that's how a grown woman with children acts, you need to take a long look in the mirror and make some changes. Bravo, how about making a change for her and remove her from the show.

Really? You sure looked like you were ready to fight with Vicki last night. She walked away and yes, you acted like your were in high school following her. And I think that your comment at the end of your blog was very rude! You owe Heather an appoliogy.

Thank you, Sarah, for being honest...that IS the best policy!

I don't think anyone believes you ONLY wanted to offer support & best wishes to Vicki! You appeared to be very agitated & ready for a fight when you approched her. I think it's nice that you at least took some ownership of your part in the mess. It was very nice to see all the Housewives & their spouses getting along, though! It was only a "Friend of a Housewife" who didn't play nice!

Funny how you were the one "intoxicated" yet, Heather continued to argue about what you actually said to Vicki when you sat down next to her. She was wrong! No matter...Vicki was rude as she always is. There was no need for her to be rude at the onset. IF you started in on her about the fight with Gretchen then yes, she could/should have shut you down.

You gotta admit, Terri fits in nicely as a gossipy woman huh?

At first I thought you were going to apologize for your behavior, but then you totally backtracked! You had no intention of being friendly to Vicki and came over completely confrontational. For once I'm on vicki's side.....you were wrong and obnoxious.

ummm do you realllly expect us to believe thats what you wanted to speak to her abuot, im pretty sure the 5 min. of footage previous to that when you kept trying to stir up the drama with Gretchen proves that indeed you were trying to do just that.

When I started reading this, I was like "Yes - way to go Sarah! Own your drunken mistake. We've all made them." Then I kept reading ... Maybe you convinced yourself you were going over there to be nice, but in all reality, I think it's clear that you were going to confront her about the fight with Gretchen. Yes, Vicki was defensive right away, but she was also feeling embarrassed about her fight with Gretchen and not in the mood to relive it. And good intentions or not, that's where you were going.

When you're new to a group, the burden is on your to earn your entry. Fair or not, that's the way it is. So if you go in nosing into people's relationships/fights and then creating a drunken scene, don't be surprised when they make fun of you. Instead of trying to frame yourself as the victim, own your behavior and change it.

You were aggressive as you approached Vicki. You should watch the video and understand that you evidently don't realize what you actually said. I'd have told you to take a hike too. Nobody wants to interact with a hostile drunk. You need to know when to leave. Other than that you were a peach.

Call it creative editing, but it looks like you were drunk and ready to pick a fight for Gretchen since she didn't want to. And why go to a party the hostess didn't invite you to-An opportunity to get some airtime maybe?

Are you seriously still trying to blame others for your bad behavoir? You went over there with the INTENTION of starting drama, you kept saying to Gretchen: I have your back!!! You CONFRONTING Vicki, you weren't kind or polite, just RUDE!!! You went to a party that the host did NOT invite you to & then you talk about them??? You are full of yourself and just tried to get air time, you BLEW IT!!!! You had already met Vicki & then you try to re-introduce yourself with an attitude, very uncool move!!

Ummm... you need to take more responsibility for all this than you are. Just sayin'.

"Heather and her wife Terry and their four faces were instigating with the whole "we are back in high school again" childish act that they like to put on by making their usual behind the back jabs at whoever is "it" for the night."

Huh? Did I miss something. This whole paragraph doesn't even make sense. You are really out there.

It didn't seem like Sarah was going over there to talk about Vicki's daughter. From what was shown on TV, it appeared Sarah approached Vicki to discuss the Vicki and Gretchen fight since Sarah seemed to insist they discuss it that evening. That discussion should be handled when Vicki and Gretchen are ready, nor was that the time or the place to do so. I think Heather and her HUSBAND Terry were simply trying to make the uncomfortable situation lighter by joking and not instigating at all. Heather is extremely witty and funny! I think Heather and Gretchen always have funny remarks which makes this season my favorite so far!

I'm wondering if she saw the same episode i saw. She was not going over to talk to Vicki about her daughter or see how she was doing. She walked over and interrupted a conversation wanting to speak to Vicki about Gretchen. I can't stand when somebody apoligizes but then makes excuses. She got drunk and acted stupid. it happens.

When you have managed to make Vicki look good, the best thing to do is disappear for a few weeks.

I'm glad to see that you can be humble about your behavior that evening. I think Vicki may have overreacted by thinking you were coming to attack her but your response was way out of line. Maybe it would have been better to approach the entire group by saying something like "I thought I'd join you all over here, how's everyone doing" rather than asking Vicki if you could talk to her. Vicki wouldn't have been defensive and you could have offered your support to her and the night may have gone completely different and you wouldn't look like an imbalanced nut case. Just sayin.

In all fairness to you Sarah, I am not sure you are cut out to be on the show. That isn't an insult. You have to have a certain personality to fit in and be able to take the blows from the other ladies. You don't fit that mold. I would learn from this and find a new day job.

Sarah, please please please (for the love of God) go back to wherever you came from. If Bravo makes you a full-time Housewife, I will never ever ever watch another episode. I don't even know who the hell you ARE.

Heather's wife? Concern and sympathy? Knock it off! Try a cup of humility, with a dash of dignity beats gulping goblets of champagne!

Like that you owned up to your behavior in your blog, BUT think your dig at Heather and her "husband" Terry show you do have a mean streak in you. Not the nice girl just wanting to say hi you're trying to sell.

You were right my dear. You should have stayed home. First time I've noticed you on OC, and my first impression wasn't good. You need to keep a little control of yourself.

Why do you blog? It seemed you were just trying to start an arguement with Vicki to get camera time....

Sarah, I'm not a fan, or team Vicki by any means, but that was painful to watch last night. We've all had those days, and to be filmed during it has to be hard. Which can explain your overindulgence in the champagne. As a fan of the show, watching Vicki fight with newcomers that don't kiss her ass, is nothing new to us. Vicki demands respect, and then she'll decide if she'll give you any time. She isn't fighting with Heather, because Heather is walking on eggshells around Vicki. One thing Slade is correct about is, Vicki wanting all the attention on her.

Sarah,

I understand that you don't like Heather, but girl, your tone when you approached Vicki was a tone of "I want to talk about the Bunco Night, let's start another fight." Heather is right, you were out of line and you were smashed! you couldn't say 2 words without slurring them. And not very sure why you were crying?????? That was a little over the top dramatic for no reason at all.

wow, if i was vic i would have walked away from you too..you were acting bat sh*t crazy.

Sarah don't try that "I was just a concerned mother and wanted to offer support" bit. You were intoxicated and due to some "liquid courage," decided to show Gretchen how much you had her back by trying to confront Vicki. Instead you looked like a crazy stalker. Fully admit that you were completely in the wrong and move on.

You were drunk and made a fool of yourself. I still can't stand Vicki.

Sarah: Bravo to you. Unlike any of the other women on the Housewives series you owned up to the fact that "hey I F'd up" and admits to what happened was in fact inappropriate and your fault. More of the women need to own up to there outbursts and mishaps. You go girl.

Sarah, you were in the wrong. You had NO business approaching Vicki like that. IT was shocking how abruptly you approached her. Also, on camera?! You made yourself look really bad. Not to mention, you embarrassed Gretchen and your fiance. I do not think you should drink. You reminded me of some yappy, annoying chiuhuaha.

I find it very, very hard to believe that your intentions were to talk to Vicki about her daughter. You were talking to Gretchen about the fight she had with Vicki, Gretchen told you she did not want to start anything that evening and you told her that you 'have her back'. You got worked up, you were drunk, and you wanted to confront Vicki. I do not know how there can be 'two sides' to a situation that is caught on film. I love the addition of Heather and her HUSBAND on the show....

I thought you were going to own it? You did anything but. You acted like an ass. I am NEVER on Vicki's side, but this time, I was 100%. You had no right to approach her as you did. You just wanted to say hi? You went there with a mission and that was putting her in her place. Seriously? OWN IT, apologize, shut up, and move on and that's how everyone else will.

Your blog would have been so much better if you ended it at the first paragraph.

Hmmmmm.......Does Mercedes make a broom stick???

I don't believe you an I watched the same episode...how can you say that you wouldn't change anything except your alcohol intake? Did you not hear what you said to Vicki? I would be mortified if I were you! You owe all of us an apology for having to watch you.

You should not have approached Vicki the way you did. She obviously was in the middle of a conversation with Heather; you should have waited until she was done talking before you went over to chat. Besides, Gretchen made it clear to you that she did not want to talk to Vicki about the Bunko party drama that evening.

This is obviously one of those moments where you got called out for doing exactly what everyone saw you doing, being confrontational, and now you are backpedaling. I agree with the other poster - you never mentioned anything about Vicki's daughter. Truthfully, if that's how you approach someone to make friendly small talk, your execution is dreadful and I'm surprised someone hasn't already popped you one for being so abrasive. Your blog smacks of embarrassment and regret from being caught doing what we all know you were doing - trying to start trouble. Hopefully, lesson learned.

I'm sure you think this type of behavior will create the type of drama required by Bravo to be a part of this show, but with that hateful, drunken behavior being the only exposure the viewers have had to you, it's not a recipe for success. Viewers have to want to be you, to want to watch you. Bravo....move on to someone of interest with a life and goals other than to marry a wealthy man and get a place on a reality show. PLEASE!!!

Oh My Gosh!

Didn't read the last page on your blog till now.. ARE YOU NUTS????????????????? Dissin' Heather and HER HUSBAND????????????? For the whole night and blaming them for YOUR actions??? Honey, you need help. I can't believe Gretchen invited you, bet she won't anymore. You're a head case!!!!!

You were rude to EVERYONE- Vicki, Heather, Terri, YOUR FIANCE, Gretchen, Slade, Heather the host, Heather whose champagne you were drinking, did I mention you were rude to Heather whose party you were attending and champagne you were clearly OVER-indulging in??? You are a hawt mess.

Love you Heather- you, your "wife," and your "broomstick."

Sarah,

You looked like a very looney, unstable person in this episode. It was very clear when you approached Vicky that you had intentions of speaking to her about Gretchen. When she said that she didn't want to speak with you, you should have just said "well maybe another time then" and left it alone. You were invited by Gretchen and you came as her guest. Of course, one would assume that you were trying to start something. Even Gretchen said that you approached Vicki in an aggresive manner.

I thought it was hilarious that you were calling Vicki a bully when you were the one following her around and calling her names when she made it clear that she didn't want to speak to you.

And I think Heather and Terry were extremely gracious and kind to you considering that you were not invited there by them and you were making a scene at their event and making one of their guests extremely uncomfortable. I would have asked you to leave!

Not a stellar first showing for you, my dear. At least now I get why you've been blogging us to death. You think you're a member of the cast! Say it isn't so, Bravo. Say it isn't so!

You came prepared to confront Vicki . You mentioned to your sidekick that you had her back when she clearly stated she didn't want drama that night . What could you possibly want to talk to Vicki about definitely not her daughter or you would have mentioned that during your conversation with Gretchen . You were so rude and wrong . No one has to talk toooo you .

Sarah, you should not be on this show. You had no right to confront anyone about anything, it is none of your business. I am not a fan of Vickie, but you made Vickie look like a saint. Gretchen had no right to invite you, be that as it may, when you are an uninvited guest, you speak when spoken to. I do not buy for one penny that you were just trying to get to know Vickie. You were preparing to call her out over something that did not concern you. Gretchen and Vickie's business is between them and if Gretchen is trying to work through it YOU stay OUT. You have no standing in that fight. Even Slade asked Vickie if she was ok when you started your BAD behavior. I hope this is the last we will see of you. You are not a friend to Gretchen and Slade. Oh, and if I were your fiance you would be dumped and I would have escorted you out of there, had I been him. Perhaps he does not have any character either.

Do people in Orange County crash other's parties? Heather didn't invite you. Terry said it best when he asked where you parked your spaceship.

Who is this woman? She needs to go back to the background. Why does she blog more than the actual housewives? Please Bravo edit her out and take away her password to blogging.

Am I the only one who is confused why Sarah blogs every week??? YOU ARE NOT A HOUSEWIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
