****UPDATE 3/22/09 – Gretchen has been caught smoochin’ someone other than Jay! Check out my post about it here, and vote whether or not you want Gretchen to be back next season!
Bravo’s Real Housewives of Orange County got together Tuesday Night for a Season 4 reunion special. Moderator Andy Cohen sat between the couch factions, with blonde mean girl vets Vicki and Tamra on one side and the two rookies Lynne and Gretchen with Jeana on the other.
The show went pleasantly enough at first, as cast and fans looked back on a season of mama drama that included differences of opinion, snarky asides and typical b*tchy accusations of fashion ignorance, bad parenting and air headedness. Aerosmith lead singer Lynne had a tearful moment (see below), and Jeana defended the fact that her kids hate her (as evidenced by her son’s sincere threat of beating her with a baseball bat). There were some more fireworks when the topic of the multi-course dinner (at which Gretchen got drunk and flirted heavily with Tamra’s son Ryan) came up, mostly revolving around the comment Tamra made to Vicki at the party, “Let’s get Gretchen naked wasted.”
Soon after that all Hell broke loose! Here is a comic book version of the clash of the tittuns (I have taken some liberties with the exact dialogue
and the timeline. It’s a little mundane at first, but stick with it because it
explodes in a hurry!)
The other highlight from the show was when Jeana unexpectedly blindsided Lynne by insulting her intelligence with a Tamra-esque barb, revealing to the world what it looks like when Steven Tyler cries. (It is obvious collagen and botox are designed for happy and neutral, NOT sad. Her face is trying to frown but her lips won’t do it)

I’m an Australian viewer of this show.
I must say that this season’s episodes has highlighted the worst possible qualities of all these women.
Whether it was intentional to capture them this way for ratings is perhaps left to the producers to answer but I was pretty dismayed and disturbed at how they all portrayed themselves.
As women we all have insecurities but these so called ladies have no grace and no loyalty to one another.
Their behaviour and cattiness was so vile and ugly that it made me cringe on more than one occassion.
Vicki, please do not come back for another season as you left us all wondering why you are not in full time care by a shrink. You have a very disturbing personality disorder and I really feel sorry for Don. I truly feel that you need to take some time out to sort out your head and stop all your crazy, narcissitic behaviour before you totally lose it.
Your need for control to the degree that you exhibit it only proves that you need to get a handle on your life as you are obviously are not happy.
Tamra, take a long hard look at yourself and see how two faced you are. There doesn’t appear to be a sincere bone in your body.
Gena…get the heck out of this crowd of women before they totally drag you down with them. Distance is a good thing. You are the only one who seems remotely human. I am sorry that your boys are as nasty as they are towards you but take accountability for that and if need be cut them out of your life…they are old enough to grow the hell up and realise how easy they have had it.
Stop the excuses for them. It’s very distructive to all of you. I have never seen such smug, ugliness from kids as I did from those boys of yours. Stop taking it as a joke. It’s both disgusting and belittleling to you. Wake up!!
Gretchen….sorry girlfriend but no matter what your protests are, you are in deed a ‘Gold Digger’ and your actions spoke volumns with and without alcohol in your system. I pity any man that gets entangled with you.
Jay Photoglou’s polygraph test results are here:

There was some character going by the handle “photoglou” who would post on ocregister.com all the time and get involved in arguments with other posters, especially about The Real Housewives of Oc. I don’t doubt he’s some obsessive psycho. Gretchen just got a restraining order against the guy, and I don’t think you can get those willy-nilly.
Whoa, I am just now seeing this reunion for the first time. I LOVE Gretchen. The fact is that whatever she and Jeff had, they BOTH loved it. So why are Tamra and Vicki hating so hard? Vicki just hates it cuz G gets all the attention and her hubby doesn’t pay her a bit of attention and Tamra just hates that she is no longer the hottest chick on the block! Get over it ladies!
ok – he’s a “stalker” but he’s a “good family friend” she “hangs out” with? does that make ANY sense to ANYONE? LOL … god – i hate liars!
vicki – attention wh**e! leave your daughter alone already!!!
jeanna – love ya but stop taking the abuse from your kids!!
i love tamra. gretchen is such a liar! first she calls that guy a stalker then says he’s a family friend and he was at bass lake with her and her fam. come on now gretchen. get your story straight!
Gretchen is such a liar. I hope she’s not on the next Season!
I think Tamara behaved in an appalling and vicious manner that was extremely jealousy driven.
Hilarious! I’ve linked to this on my blog where everyone wants to burn Tamra at the stake. The only thing is.. I think that first photo is not Jay Photoglou. Way too young. Jay is about 40 and is the dude in the second photo.
Oooooo! I just checked out Maria’s web site (from the comment above) and it’s great for keeping up to date on all the Bravo goings on! Check it out:

What esle is there to do when you have alot of money than to add a little drama in your life.
LMAO!!! You got it nailed on the head! I, too, canNOT turn away from this show once its on. Then, they show a slew of episodes right in a row on the weekends, and I end up watching them again! I need to get a life! LOL!
Cheers.
I love the Real Housewives! I believe Jay! I am absolutely sure gretchen! Check out my blog for more comments http://realityobsessed.blogspot.com/
why is pig nose on that show? Excuse me , I mean Vicky.
The one I can’t stand is Vicky? How did she manage to get in together with the other ones? She is NOT attractive at all…her face is awful. I can’t believe she or anyone else would think that she is good looking? She has a long, horsey like face. The other women are all very pretty, I don’t know where she fits into this? Lynne does look like Tyler, but she is attractive in her own way, at least more attractive than Vicky…they need to get rid of Vicky and get a better looking housewife to take her place
I hate the fact that I was a bit mesmerized by this show.
I was not a consistent viewer …
But when I did watch it, I couldn’t turn away!
These women are spoiled!
These women are poor examples of “housewives!”
These women are NUTS!
But still …
I couldn’t turn away
oh this is really good stuff…wait, do I say that about all of your stuff? How Lynne of me.
The Real Housecats of Orange County. (I think Angela from The Office has already started filming)
LMAO! Where do I get a copy of the comic book??? It’s even better than the show! Tamra and Gretchen never looked hotter or cuddlier! Poor Lynne.
