The sun-loving girls of Southern California are back and on the prowl for steamy suburban drama, all against the dramatic backdrop of changing economic times in the wealthy enclave of Orange County, on the fifth season premiere of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Orange County, Thursday, November 5 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Tamra Barney, Lynne Curtin, Vicki Gunvalson and Gretchen Rossi welcome a beautiful new face to the group – Alexis Bellino, a 32-year-old stay-at-home mom with a body that defies all logic that she is indeed a mother of three small children. But, changes are in store for the girls this season as they must say farewell to longtime housewife Jeana Keough.

Discuss the fifth season of OC below!

Wonder what Icky and Trampra have in store for us this season?

Who invited you two ladies to MY forums?

Hi Qwacker, I've watched all the other housewives shows except this one. I'm watching re-runs of last season on Bravo now. Looking forward to this season though. I already know why you've named Icky and Trampra as such. LOL!

I watched this once before because my former Aunt was on the show...I was disgusted then by these overage, unhappy pathetic women compete and backstab. Jeana and Gretchen seem to have integrity and Jeana is kind. Tamara needs to remember to check her attitude...you can take the girl out of the trailerpark and off of the pole, but you wrap trash in Armani and you still have trash. What kind of sick, sick filthy bottom feeder is so childish she finds entertainment in encouraging Gretchen, who is dealing with some great sadness that probably no one could understand nor should they judge, when FAT, UNATTRACTVE, where is the plastic surgeon when you need him, flounder faced Vicki jumps in to play along. Tamara and Vicki are the two most disgusting human beings I have ever seen in action. I'd hate them, but I pity them like I'd pity anyone so desparate to distract everyone's attention from their own uneducated, pathetic, lives. Stick to what you know...Vicki, stick to being stupid an ugly and so sadly jealous. You are an embarrassment to women specifically and the human race in general. Tamara, stick to hitting up the plastic surgeon because you have nothing to offer the world. I only sat through your sickening crap a second time because I had the h1n1 virus and was too exhausted to find the lost remote. By the way, stupid bitches, by a book without pictures in it. P.S Teaching Tamara etiquette is like painting an outhouse...and I'm sure she's familiar with those.

I could not AGREE MORE with you. Tamara you are a word for a female DOG woof woof. You are, Im sure, an embarrassment to your family. Where do you get off acting like such a privileged, entitled, LOUD MOUTH, under educated PIG?! Check your attitude it is the most disgusting thing I have seen in a grown woman and mother.

Vciki you are gross. You need to check your horrible know it all money grubbing and disturbed thought process of what power actually is at the door. You are so annoying and I just cant understand why you and Tamara need to go out of your ways to be mean, WE CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH your horrible self esteem. Im glad you didnt buy that boat because now you have money to go get a face lift. OMG I cant believe how you behave. Donn divorce her she is a [expletive deleted].

I feel sorry for the other cast members who have to deal with Vicki and Tamara. I will say a prayer for you all.

Well, I can tell it's going to be an entertaining season on this board already!

Oh great another stalker followed me over to here.

I love how it's only a few posts in and already the trash talking rants have started.

Who is your aunt? Quinn, Tammy, Lauri? If you don't want to say I understand, but do you have any good insider dish for us? Would love to hear it!

I hope Trampa and Icky are gearing up for the season...so many viewers can't stand them. I wonder if Bravo will give them "a good edit" this season, or if we are going to see more of the same...I can't wait! Team Gretchen!

Jeana, Tammy, and Laurie were the only genuine people on this show- now they've all left... I'll watch the new season until Jeana leaves and that's it.

Bravo would have been better off paying Jeana a BIG salary for her own show! I would much rather watch Jeana work through her trials than see 5 snarkies battle it out for the most dramatic slice of camera time.

I will be sorry to see Jeana go. She was one of the most normal and real of all the women. I also liked Lorie. Why is it that the good ones leave? Do they know something we don't? Are they just disgusted with the whole idea of the show and having to hang around with such disgusting women? Maybe that's it.

Vicki makes my blood boil. She is clueless as to how abrasive and offensive she comes across. She acts like she is all that, but she could use some work, big time! She is rude and bossy to her husband. I have no idea why he puts up with her. Then she tries to control her children's lives. She is the biggest instigator of trouble. I expect fireworks between her and and Alexis, the new housewife. She is beautiful with a great body, so Vicki will be so jealous!

Tamara isn't much better than Vicki. She really is trailer trash. Even with her botox and fake implants, she is so not all that. She is incredibly insecure and can't take any competition. That's why she gave Gretchen such a hard time. That's also why she was mean enough to encourage Gretchen to get blind drunk and make a fool out of herself.

For me this is like junk food. I watch it if there's nothing better on tv. I prefer to record it, so I can fast forward through the parts I don't like. I was looking forward to seeing what happens with Jeana, but once she's gone I just don't know if it will be worth the time. Having to listen to Vicki's big mouth and looking at that face, is not a pleasant prospect.

'Real O.C.' Douche Owes $80,000 to Sick Son
Posted Nov 4th 2009 12:40AM by TMZ Staff
The only thing worse than owing nearly $80,000 in child support? When the kid you're allegedly failing to support is fighting an inoperable brain tumor ... but that's just how the Real O.C.'s Slade Smiley happens to roll.



TMZ has obtained a letter sent to Slade's baby mama from the Department of Child Support Services last month, which states Slade owes her $77,356.75 in late child support payments ... plus 10 percent interest whenever he doesn't cut her a check on time.

Slade filed a request in L.A. County Superior Court two weeks after the DCSS sent the letter, asking a judge to lower the enormous child support bill because he says he's unemployed and makes zero dollars. Slade's rep tells us Slade has "jumped through burning hoops to take care of [his child's] well-being and health."

Slade's baby mama begs to differ, telling us Slade has only seen his sick 9-year-old son Grayson twice in the last year and a half -- and hasn't even sent the kid a birthday card.


from tmz.com

if you look up the word bobbleheads in the dictionary you will see their pictures; of course, Icki is flat on her bad (fall down drunk bobblehead) and Trampra is outfitted in the latest in porno garb.

and yet another stalker...

Icki & Tampra pissed me off so bad with the Nakid Wasted and other crap; that is when I decided to log on to the message boards; but it took me until the NY season to get my authorization to post; which in hindsight was a good thing cuz I was pretty steamed at those two bobbleheads....

Stalk THIS babyyyyyyy.

I'm not quite sure how you can view Lauri as genuine. She and her prince charming are about as fake as you can get. Hope you didn't buy into that Cinderella/Brady Bunch fiction.

We're learning your ninja skills!

Slade and Gretchen are popular folks today...starting Season 5 off with a bang! LOL

Judge Orders Gretchen Rossi to Pay Jay Photoglou $$$

LOL!!!!!

EMB's stalkers:

That's a shame. (I was cruising around from the Atlanta site and came here. ) Or, maybe as EMB says I am stalking.

I thought Slade was so supportive of his children and had even set up a charity to help children with cancer. How can he be so irresponsible?

This is one fund for Grayson that I believe was established by Slade's ex:

Cute kid.

Sidney

lol
ikr?
Looks like the new lady is going to go head to head with Vicki.
"Bring it on"..oh Vicki.

Sweetie, Gretchen doesn't have anything to do with Slade's back child support.

It would take a heck of a lot of editing to turn those two into something halfway likable!

Thanks for sharing that, but I never said she did.



I commented how popular they both were yesterday, and put up a link to a story about Gretchen...don't even see the words "Child Support." But I appreciate you clearing that up for me...Sweetie

so true!

It's so exciting that the OC Housewives are starting up again. Good riddance to those broke-azz, wanna be celebrities in Atlanta.....so dreadful to watch. I hung in there, but it wasn't easy to watch their petty nonsense. Hoorah..........let's move on!!!!!!!!!!

I don't agree that Laurie was genuine. She was a fake Barbie doll from head to toe (nose, boobs, botox, yikes...when she spoke her face didn't move), and she raised some lame, ambitionless, lazy children. I did like Tammy and Jeana....its a shame to see them leave.

Except, who could accept a man wining, dining and gifting you .......when you know that he owes over $77,000 in child support to his ill child? Slade is a sleazebag.

I used to be a regular on the RHofOC message board since the first season, I like the old format better.

Does anybody know what ever happened to Cartmen? RHofNY? How about the rest of our regular original crew of commenters?

We had such great fun back in the day. I miss you guys!

I just cannot believe that Gretchen who was SOOOOO broken up about the loss of Jeff could barely get the man in the ground before taking up with a bunch of other men. And didnt even wait for him to pass to go party and make him look like a fool. His children must just be soo happy. And then to go to Slade He is such a puke hooking his junk onto any woman in the OC show to get on tv. Dude, get a job and take care of your sick child and your responsibilities. Gretchen, you claim you can do for yourself and didnt need money from Jeff but you sure seem to have benefitted. I have watched all the Real Housewife shows and seasons and there are alot of crazy wives but Gretchen takes the cake. The song shes a Gold Digger was obviously written for her. I used to think Vicki was the worst the way she treats her family and poor husband Donn, but wow gretchen disgusts me.

I have been watching OC since the first season. These ladies are all around interesting and very real life. I cant' wait to see tonites first episode.

I'm the one on the left. I better put on some clothes! (Though everything just hangs on me.)

To play devil's advocate here, if you saw someone you actually loved, or had feelings for, die ... might just make you decide you needed to live life to the fullest, because you never know when your own number's up. Just saying.

The problem is, Gretchen was living life to the fullest long before Jeff died...with another man. Just saying.

LOL it would look about like this ... Vicki and Tamra smiling and saying "hello" shaking hands ..and CUT!!

You are never going to get rid of us bus peeps!!!!

Moved to other section.

Is Brittney telling us something with her boobs? Like head south for the winter.

NINJA THIS.

Here ya go Patte, Le short bus has arrived.

Thanks!!!!

Brought a snack from the drive thru ... until the main course arrives ...

Yukky, its Booger King.

For people who like to eat healthy.

Finally, someone thinks the way I do. Laurie is as fake as they come. She can't move her top lip she's had so much botox.

When Laurie was on, I couldn't stop staring at her mouth. I thought it was deformed. Now, It appears that Alexis also has that problem.

this ought to be vvvvery interesting(german accent)... cant wait to meet the newbie,lol looks like trampola, i mean tampooon,are goona be like besties lol,or is it beasties, can i get a double longisland tea, please ,as i am not staying on the bus for the whole ride? gotta go to bed soon, before i turn into a pumpkin,lol, usually happens about 9, vines and leaves sprout from my ears,but ive been outa sorts since the clock was turned back, i like real time beter, does that make sense to anyone but me?

I have looked forward to seeing this season of Real Housewives of OC.. But I have to say I just cant stand Vickie. Oh lord have mercy. She needs to shut her face. I sure hope this season she has learned something from the other seasons as to what a tool she really is. Her loud obnoxious voice and her constant throwing Don under the bus. Dang if I were him Id kick her fake nasty self to the curb. Well we shall see in about 45 mins.
