Is Gretchen the fat one in the group? I don't know them by name but she seems to be a royal mess!
I've only caught a few episodes here and there but I agree, Jeana is the most down to earth. Her daughter is beautiful!
Tamra is the one who makes my skin crawl. She's the one who everyone knows someone just like her. Someone who will step on anyone to get what she wants.

It will be interesting to see how the show handles Jeff's passing. Found this out in Cyber Space!
"As previously reported, Gretchen?s fiance Jeff Beitzel sadly lost his battle with leukemia in September 2008. After his death, the fangs have come out, and his family is speaking out against Gretchen and her behavior during their relationship. According to a blog Pretty on the Outside, Jeff?s sister posted the following comment on her blog:
? As for Gretchen, Jeff was ready to end that relationship due to her excessive partying and mainly her ?recreational drug? use. Jeff was no stranger to alcohol, but had told her it was either the drugs or him because he wouldn?t live with it. Somehow she managed to convince him, and I even found this unbelievable at the time not even knowing her, that she had given up partying and drugs for him, and had returned to her ?religious? upbringing. How or why he wanted to believe this is beyond me, but obviously he was deceived. The ?Malibu Barbie? image seemed to overrule all reason.?
From the same sight the Author wrote:
I guess bottom line, the poor guy was sick, he loved her, and didn?t want to lose her. It?s called denial. In fairness to Gretchen, everyone deals with death differently. She may have ?partied? to cover up the pain. Who knows? It seems that Jeff and Gretchen had genuine love and affection for each other. If she made his day a little bit more beautiful and brighter, so be it. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. He seemed like a very cool dude."

Yep, Darlene, I've been watching. I'm sorry to hear about Jeff too. I'd like to think that Gretchen really cared for him, but I'm not really convinced. I hope I'm wrong--and it's a moot (or moo, as Joey on Friends would say. 
) point now.
I too am a Jeana fan. She's the most honest of all of them, I feel. Plus, I like the fact that at least ONE of them struggles with weight issues like most of us real housewives. The one that makes me wanna hurl is Vicki. OMG. :roll:

She's gotten more extreme as time goes by. Did you like the exchange with her and her poor daughter? "Do you love me more than your dog?" Lord help her.
I also find her wooo-hoooooo uber annoying. She and Tamra are quite the pair. :roll:
No, I missed that exchange...thank God. And yes, the wooo-hoooo is like fingernails on a blackboard. I mean FTLOG, she was teaching it to a rooster!!
I am sooo happy none of us ever get that annoying when we have our quiet, dignified soiree's or NYE gatherings at the Dargs.:funn:
Me too. I KNOW none of us have ever acted like her.
