Did Tamra Barney give Vicki Gunvalson the evil eye?

Jun, 27, 2012 | AUTHOR: Starcasm Staff; | Related : Brooks Ayers, Real Housewives of Orange County, Tamra Barney

The season finale of Real Housewives of Orange County happened last night (after about 45 episodes at Heather Debrow’s “You ate my bow” party) and “evil eye” ruled the final part of the evening which is allegedly what Tamra gave to Vicki Gunvalson according to boyfriend Brooks Ayers. Did it even really happen? What is an “evil eye,” anyway? Either way it was said a total of 29 times throughout the entire episode!

First, let’s establish what an “evil eye” is. It’s a look, a poisons, witchy look mean to cause harm on someone else. Many, many cultures believe that some gazes not only make you feel sh*tty because they’re so full of hate and venom, but can actually cause you harm beyond the hurt feelings. Even if you don’t believe in magic, a hateful glance can cause emotional injury.

Evil eye symbolism has actually been featured on the show before with Tamra. Last season Tamra Barney invited the girls over to sell them apparel emblazoned with an “Evil Eye” (to help ward off bad spirits.) Back then Gretchen Rossi wasn’t BFFs with Tamra, and stuck the knife in by saying she needed to wear an Evil Eye hat to keep away Tamra! So, obviously, Tamra was already a little sensitive to “evil eye” accusations!

After Sarah Winchester was ousted from Heather’s party for drunkenly eating a bow off of Heather’s cake, the rest of the cast (minus Alexis) gathered around to laugh, drink, and discuss. Slade made a self-depreciating joke, and everyone seemed to be having a really good time until Brooks looked at Tamra and saw an “evil eye!” Tamra said she was just rolling her eyes because she thought it was BS that Vicki toasted Alexis, but Brooks took it personally. He confronted her with “Oh really, you have to go there?”

Tamra denied giving Vicki an “evil eye,” but things just went out of control from there, and Vicki and Tamra got into a nasty screaming match over Brooks. Tamra accused Vicki of letting Brooks tell her what to think, and then Vicki and Brooks stormed out of the party. Tamra followed Vicki, and Vicki screamed at Tamra to apologize to her for speaking that way to the man she loved. After Vicki went outside, Vicki’s daughter Briana told Tamra that she had similar concerns about Brooks, and Vicki blew up at her to when she raised them. Outside Vicki asked Briana’s husband to go take Briana away from Tamra so she wouldn’t get “corruption in her mind.”

Briana came out to confront Vicki, and struck a cord with Brooks when she accused Vicki and Brooks of isolating themselves. They went back to Heather’s party for a final toast, and Vicki delivered a godfather-like declaration that either “you’re in or you’re out” with her and her decision to date Brooks.

What do you think, did Brooks and Vicki overreact to Tamra’s “Evil eye?”

Uhhh, what is this fuss about an “evil eye?” When did the OC turn into the Congo, circa 1600, or Spain during the Inquisition that people believe in this crap?

Even if Brooks does genuinely love Vicki and isn’t using her (ahem, ahem, hypothetical of course) he still is a loser and that’s going to grow old and prove to be a waste of her time anyway.

She rolled her eyes, big deal….much like how Vicki was doing throughout the night at Tamra and Gretchen. Brooks was starting trouble. I think he’s only now given viewers reason to be suspicious of his intentions. I’d hate to be Vicki and feel that desperate for someone in my life.

  I agree with you. If given the choice of being with Brokes or having nobody romantically, I’d rather be alone. He truly is a crooked man.

Brooks seeing the evil eye, it was his way of causing drama, he wants to be on TV and there i

Now the OG Vicky is freaking out, her screaming and her face, damn girl go talk to someone will you. Its sad that she listens to what Brooks says and not what her daughter says

Maybe its time for Vicky to retire from RHOC?

  That’s exactly what I thought when Babbling Brooks manufactured a big problem when he said, “Evul AHeeee”. He wants the spotlight. It’s too bad that he forgot about the women he discarded that might want to the money he owes them. He really looks like Pinocchio and acts like it too. Liar, Liar – Pants on Fire!
hey-yo

Tamra should not have spoken to Brooks the way she did. She got on his face and yelled at him!!! None of my friends should speak to my man this way, and my man should should not speak to my friends this way either. An argument is an argument, once you start getting disrespectful, even if you were right in the first place, it puts you in the wrong.

Tamra was just doing what she always does…..fake drama for more camera time. YAWN!! Who does that bitch think she is? Only in TV land do you get away with screaming in someones face like that. In the real world…Tamra would have a hand mark on her cheek! I actually feel sorry for Vicki on this one….and I can’t stand the woman!! But Tamra is truly a fake fame whore who will do ANYTHING for camera time. Take note Vicki…how is it under that bus?

BROOK is a free loading b!tch! Starting fights with females. He needs to save his energy to support and visit his FOUR CHILDREN!!! Brooks needs to be out working and making his own money and not hanging out with housewives causing problems. What a sad man. Wow Vicki has dived into a all time low with this guy. I feel for Don…good thing he’s out of it all.

Lmfao at this crap and the people who get wrapped up in it!

I laughed out loud during the heated exchange between Tamra, Babbling Brooks and Vindictive Vicki. It was so over-the-top! When Vicki retaliated to Tamra, they both looked like a couple of cougars clawing at each other. Meanwhile, “Brokes” was self-satisfied that he broke up the dynamic duo once and for all. When Briana told Vicki she was alienating herself from the world, Crooks’ wheels turned. He’s so transparent that I can’t believe for a shrewd, suspicious businesswoman, that Vicki is such an easy mark.

Women who stand up for p.o.s. men who don’t support their kids are just as pathetic as they are. The only difference between you and Vicki is, Vicki will smarten up and dump her deadbeat dad b/f BEFORE wasting years with a loser like u have. You know what that’s called? Self respect. Get some honey.
jodie

Rather be alone than with someone like Brooks? What’s the difference between him and MJW? Hypocrite!

The young creepy guy Tamra is with is no oil painting. Her husband dumped her because she is disloyal. She stabs everyone in the back, is always causing problems. Heather, Gretchen and Tamra are horrid.
