The Real Housewives of Orange County had a new episode that aired on Tuesday. For a brief second we saw former housewife Jo De La Rosa and her on again off again boyfriend/ manager Slade Smiley. I miss Jo, she is a much better housewife than Lynne is. Lynne is annoying. The way she treats her daughters like they are friends aggravates me. It is like she is competing with her daughters. She made her fifteen year old daughter give up the dress she wanted to wear to her sister Raquel and the other dress was too short. Alexa’s boyfriend hurt her feelings and said that she looked like a stripper. Lynne did not even act like a mother, she acted like a girlfriend. Then, they gave the princess Raquel a car even though she has no license and basically demanded that her parents buy her a car.Tamra, another housewife who needs to go. The way she treated Gretchen was bad.She should not question her dedication to Jeff. She was classless as was Vicki talking to Lynne. Vicki needs to go she is annoying, noisy, and disrespectful to Donn. I did like that Kara has a job and is working hard at it. Jeff’s kids seem nice, his twenty year old daughter looks so much different than his other two kids. Maybe they have different moms, who knows? This episode made me re-think even watching this series anymore.

Now, I have watched Jon and Kate Plus 8 since the show began. I love children so it intrigued me. Last night they had a marathon of the viewers top ten favorite episodes. My question is why did TLC do this? They replay the episodes all the time and you can even watch them on TLC on demand. When I was watching them, the majority of the episodes were about trips that the family had taken. I still think that the trips need to stop. I mean a real family with eight children would not constantly be able to afford trips while saying that they are saving for a house. If you watched the show Twins, Twins, and Sextuplets you will see how a real family with sextuplets lives. I mean they coupon clip, they are on a budget. They have a decent house but they are not constantly taking trips. Kate complains about her eight kids, this woman has ten kids and one of her children has cerebral palsy and will never get better. The comments about it being easier with just one kid is just snide.Did you watch the marathon?

I think that they should do a reality television show about real people. Like every week, visit a Walmart, McDonald’s, or other place of employment and just turn the camera on and see what you get. These reality shows are all about celebrities but real reality is about working a full time job and struggling to make ends meet. This show would actually show real life, no buying Dior, Prada, or Gucci. Women shopping at Walmart buying generic things and budgeting. We never get to see actual people who are not thin and good looking on our television. I think this type of reality show could do well in the ratings. We are a society that can be pretty critical and unattached. We need to get back in touch with how real people live, not celebrities and athletes. Most of us will never live in a mansion or be able to buy everything designer but all of us will most likely struggle with paying bills, raising kids, and having jobs. What do you think, would you watch a reality television show like this?

I have been bored lately so I have watched marathons on Bravo of their hit reality shows. Last night, there were re runs of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Every time I watch this show, I see something new. Now, we know that I cannot stand Kim. She is not a housewife and cannot sing. She also sets a poor example for her kids and shows them that you should use men for money and gifts. I will always love NeNe, there have been a lot of reports about her financial status but to me she is one great lady. She is not fake and tells it like it is. I respect people who say what they mean and don’t put on a facade. Lisa and DeShawn just really did not make an impact on me. I think DeShawn has a nice heart but when you watch the episodes you can see that she is very into material things. She has a governess and a nanny when she stays at home all day long and does not have a full time job. I think that you do not need a staff to do these things, you should do them yourself. Hopefully, there will be new episodes of television reality shows soon. I am very bored.

I keep reading that celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe is too thin and might be anorexic. This rumor has been going on for years. She has a great relationship with her two employees-Brad and Taylor. I think that she feels pressured to be thin but I also think that she is very busy and openly says that she does not eat lunch. She lives a very stressful life. I like her a lot. She seems like she really cares about people and wants to help them feel beautiful and special. It is none of the press’s business if she is anorexic or too thin. I mean people are constantly criticizing famous women because of their body image. We should all be judged on our actions and work not our looks and weight. Rachel Zoe hopefully will have a season two of her Bravo reality show. I love seeing the fashion and her great style and poise. I love her husband Rodger, he is such a cutie. I love her style and getting to see how real celebrity stylists and designers are like up close. The press should just leave Rachel alone. I mean she styles celebrities, she is not a Hollywood actress,

On the Real Housewives of Orange County, Vicki Gunvalson and Jeana Keough have been cat fighting lately. This week, Jeana brought decorator friend Frankie to Lake Havasu. It was one hundred and twenty degrees there. Now, if we all remember correctly, Frankie owed Vicki money because he stayed in her home as a tenant. Frankie did not want to pay rent because he was living in a construction zone. Vicki freaked and was acting like she was in high school. Tamra also decided to play both sides. I did not feel bad for Vicki at all. Jeana can be friends with whoever she wants. Vicki wants to control everyone and everything. She treats Donn horribly and tries to control her children’s lives even though they are both over the age of twenty one. Vicki does not own Lake Havasu, in fact she said she was over Havasu because she wanted to sell her Lake Havasu house and buy a nine hundred and fifty thousand dollar yacht. I like Frankie, he is always there for Jeana and I think Jeana needs to drop Vicki as a friend.

The Duggars had a special the other night that documented the time up to the birth of their eighteenth child, a little girl. They named their eight daughter, Jordyn Grace Makiya Duggar. She was born on December 18, 2008. The Duggars again had their baby delivered by Doctor Amy Sarver. This is the third time that she has delivered a baby for the family. The Duggars took their children to the new hospital where the baby would be born. They had a very neat light up wall in the waiting room. Jim Bob and Michelle attended a natural childbirth class. I do not understand why they are doing this after they had already had seventeen children before this baby. Michelle got some new baby things. She seemed down because this might be her last baby. She is forty two years old and she might be right however, Nancy Grace just had twins last year and she is I believe five years older than Michelle is. Josh was not around for the birth this time, he and his wife Anna were in Florida visiting her family. The baby came two weeks early so I am not surprised that he was gone. I thought it was a good special, congrats to the Duggars.

I watched the Real Housewives of Orange County. Part of it took place in orange County and the other part took place at Lake Havasu in Arizona. Vicki again made life all about her. Vicki really aggravates me, she thinks she is the leader of the housewives. In my opinion, Jeana is the leader. I really disliked Tamra too for making trouble between Vicki and Jeana. Now, Tamra is Vicki’s best friend forever. I also did not like the new housewife Lynne. She tries to be a friend to her teen aged daughters when they need structure and discipline.Gretchen went to Lake Bass with her family. She seems to have a nice grounded family. Vicki got hit in the head with a football. Tamra freaked because Ryan had a tattoo inside of his mouth. Surprisingly, Simon defended Ryan’s tattoos and said at least he has a job and does not do drugs. I think that Vicki needs to chill. I mean it is okay for Jeana to have other friends and any differences that you have with Frankie should have been handled a long time ago.

Last night, was the season finale of Little People, Big World. The season finale focused on the death of the Roloff’s family friend Mike Detjen. Mike died before the season premiered. He died of a torn aorta, he was sixty years old.Mike meant a lot to Jeremy, Jacob, Matt, and Zachary.They had known him for eight years.Amy really took Mike’s death very hard. I did not know that those two were so close. The Roloffs had been planning a party to celebrate their model being completed. They had four hundred people flying in from all over the country so they decided to keep going with their party plans. Matt cried as he paid tribute to Mike at the party. He felt bad that he never told Mike how much he meant to him. I really felt bad for Matt, he really was torn up during the party. Mike seemed like such a nice guy, he was Matt’s business partner, a soccer coach for the twins, and really gave a lot of attention to Jacob. I am sure that his family is saddened by his sudden death. Hopefully, he is resting in peace and has solace now in heaven.

The Girls Next Door- Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkinson had a book signing over the weekend.As we all know, the girls are no longer living with Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. Holly Madison is dating Criss Angel, Kendra is engaged, and Bridget is doing a travel show. I truly never thought that Holly would ever leave Hugh Hefner, she was his number one, head girl friend. Hefner did not want to marry her and she could not have his baby so she moved out of the Playboy Mansion. I feel bad for Holly because she really loved him but they just wanted different things out of life. Hefner had already been married and had children, he is in his eighties and having a baby is harder at his age. I mean the baby would not have a father for long and is that fair to Hef or a baby? Hopefully, everyone involved include Hefner find happiness in whatever they decide to do next.
