OK, I had sympathy for Jo in the last episode. She's young and I think that Slade doesn't really respect her. I WAS WRONG!!
I can't believe how she is treating her dogs. I have two dogs, one is dying from cancer right now. If she can't pick up after her dogs, she should find them a new home where they are treated better. They are not just accessories.
I have a big problem with people who don't understand that having a pet is making a committment. IF she can't take care of her dogs and work, she shouldn't have them. And Slade will need a housekeeper whether or not Jo works. Afterall, child-rearing is harder than owning a pet.
Please get the dogs a new home. I can't imagine a day without my two girls and I'm going to lose one soon. She is just too selfish and immature.

I agree. As a a dog owner and lover, I don't think Jo should have those pets because she did not want to take care of them. I was viscerally disturbed when she said that she might have to slaughter and eat them because they were driving her crazy. i know she did not mean it, but that was a disturbing comment to make and well, maybe she had a drink or something before saying that.
She's just really selfish. I love Slade now. I think he is a terrific father! Not many single dads like that. I really respect him now, and I guess as for jo, he can't help who he loves.

Hey out there all you housewive fans (and many more who are not); never even been on a message board (ever!) but felt the strong desire to get in on the chat regarding this show! I have been reading all of these posts for a while now; and find everyone's comments even more entertaining than the actual show itself! Keep it up! I really don't know what to think of all of these people. I really don't see what the big deal is. Doesn't every community in America have these types of people? Even in rural areas there are people like these woman! I am from the midwest and we have fake breasts here too; we also have very wealthy people too! Shocker! I don't know; guess it is entertaining enough. They all do seem a little troubled. Just goes to show, money does not buy happiness!!!! On tonight's episode though I thought Slade and Jo were ridiculous with the maid outfit; now that is playing up to the camera! Slade is great with his kids (admirable); but he is still a bit of a jerk - but is good looking too; despite what everyone says! Jo was hilarious in the grocery store; Slade's kids scare her; not really mother material, but hey, she is only 24 years old, what do we all expect? Vicki is smothering her daughter; I feel sorry for that girl! Poor Vicki may have a future son in law who is a fireman! She will push her daughter away if she is not careful! Jeanna is really disturbing me with her focus on sports with her children and not education; take a look at her husband and see what happens in the sports world; you really need a back up plan, and education and other goals in life are extremely important! It is really quite sad, if you are not in baseball in that family, you will be a disappointment in your parents' eyes! Pressure like that can only cause hurt in kids in the future! Do not really like Kimberly at all. She drives me nuts, but I really hope she is okay with her skin cancer, that is really a bad situation.

I've been watching the show and i don't think Jo and Slade are good for eachother only because slade is a family oriented person and Jo is not into the kids and would rather party. I don't think she's ready for commitment. Does anyone know what slade does.

I think Slade is more of a "good-time" dad than a real father. So he plays around with his boys and buys them extravagant costumes. Big whoop. At the same time, he gives them a paternal role model who's a narcissistic, pretentious poseur who lets himself get led around by his [expletive deleted]. Of course the older boy is going to think he's a great father -- who wouldn't want a dad at that age who has lots of expensive things? But everything Slade does is pandering to the cameras, like his statement that he could be much further along in his career than he already is, but that he took so much time off to be with his boys. R-i-i-i-g-h-t. And the boy's estimation of Jo, that she could be a supermodel? Well, he's young and probably hasn't ever seen a fashion magazine.
I would imagine Kimberly's skin cancer turned out fine, since this was filmed last year and she's now prancing around media outlets with the other housewives. I can feel sympathy for her since I've had melanoma myself, but in my case, it made me want to avoid putting tons of artificial things inside my body, unlike Kimberly, who's sporting about twenty pounds of silicone and a couple of world-class cheek implants, not to mention however much botox her system has absorbed.
Never heard of The Hula School. I wonder if it's an accredited institution?
I obviously don't know Briana, Vicki's daughter, but whenever I hear a teenaged girl with a steady boyfriend claim to not be having sex, I immediately think they're playing to the audience and that as soon as said audience (i.e. the cameras) are gone, they start having sex, at least in some form. Does anyone really think she's going to admit something like that in front of a supposedly national audience? I know of a particular school where a number of kids signed a virginity pledge, and after a year, more girls who had signed the pledge were pregnant than those from the larger group who hadn't. It's human sexuality, folks. And it's natural, but it should also be private.
That being said, Vicki is doing nothing but pushing her daughter into the boyfriend's arms by urging her to date other people and by showing up on what should have been a private evening between the two.
I've actually been to that go-cart racing venue Jo and Slade went to and it's about 50 minutes of prep time and waiting around for about five minutes of driving. And did anybody else think that Jo's French maid uniform was god-awful ugly?
Lauri's daughter, Sophie's love for her brother was probably about the only real emotion someone has shown on this series. I had a tear in my eye when she ran to him and he picked her up. I hope his speech about trying to do better wasn't just lip sevice for the cameras.
Since Shane seems to be going nowhere fast, it looks like the parents have now focused on Colten as the Great White Hope and God's Gift to the Majors. God, have they learned nothing? Jeana compares getting his fracture repaired to getting him prepped for college. Oh, and punching a kid obviously wasn't Colten's fault or an impulse control issue; he punched the kid because the kid was using drugs. Uh-huh.

I liked this episode. I could've killed Vicki for showing up like that on her daughter's date; she's a SMOTHERER, not a MOTHER. Liked Slade laughing at Jo for throwing a fit over the doggie do, that was funny but Jo is 'dumbing it up' for the cameras a TAD too much I believe. I just KNEW she was going to say, "What's Pledge?" Speaking of Vicki, what an awful thing to say about your daughters' boyfriend. Just because he wants to be a fireman she thinks her daughter won't have some of the finer things in life? I happen to know a fireman who is doing EXTREMELY well; he's made real estate investments early on and he and his wife travel all over the world every year, plus they have a gorgeous home! So Vicki if you read this, get over it FAST!

"What's Pledge"? Is that idiot kidding?? That couple has to be one of the most ridiculous on tv. I predict them showing up on some MTV reality show next, or maybe the Surreal Life? Maybe Jo will be Flava's next love interest. They're embarrasing. We're supposed to believe a girl who admits she comes from Peru, had no idea what a canary diamond was or that it was "so expensive" & had always worked before "landing" Slade, doesn't know how to clean?? Gimme a break. A good actress she is NOT.

I don't know...I really like Jeana's kids. They seem pretty grounded to me. Kara is absolutely a hoot...so smart and funny for a girl her age. I think Shane is just lost right now...the pressure in his family to get into baseball and maybe not being good enough for the pros must be really stressful for him. There is a big part of me that really likes Jeana and thinks she's a good mom - but I think she is doing a disservice to her boys by pushing baseball the way she does. I read where the youngest, Colten, actually hurt his hand in the fight with the marijuana smoking friend because the friend said a snide remark about Colten's father...makes a little more sense. Colten seems sweet and I really, really, really hope that Jeana and her husband ease up on the baseball pressure. But overall, I think Jeana is a fine mother. She's raised sensible, funny, smart kids with a husband who I am sure has been pretty difficult to live with. She's my favorite on the show and her family actually seems the most grounded.

I couldn't beleive the "What's Pledge?" VERY BAD ACTRESS! I hope she doesn't think the talent agentcies are gonna be coming around knocking on her door. I've said this before and I'll say it again, if you take away the bling, the too tight designer jeans, and the Jimmy Choo stiletos, Jo is just a typical hispanic girl. She's very white washed (especially if she's straight from Peru) and she's playing the camera to portray herself as a HOT DUMB CHICK. Please!!! She's soo not hot!

This show is going downhill so fast. Last night's episode was disgusting. Jo is so fake for the camera. I was embarrassed watching her. Also, when the two went into the jacuzzi I had to turn it off. That was so inappropriate. No wonder their kids have issues. Laurie....it was after work, right? Humm... Your kid just got out of juvie, you have a little girl who needs you. Where were they when you hung out with the teenage boys and getting drunk? Who was helping your daughter with homework or talking to your son? Gross!!!

I liked this episode very much. All the families seem "normal" in there own ways, everyone lives what and how they can. The only loser, wannabe, poser and that is very shallow is Jo. Evrybody else in the show has there own personality, wether they are crazy, over protecting, dramatic, whatever. But Jo, is just such a wannabe it makes me feel so sorry for her. That type of behavior was ok in highschool when you were discovering yourself,,, She is kinda old to still not have a true personality. I feel so sorry for Slade's kids,, she has no idea nor wants to get close to them,, HOW CAN U LIVE WITH THEM FOR A YEAR AND NOT KNOW WHAT THEY LIKE??? Hello SLADE<<<<<< RED LIGHTS,,, your kids are chains to her, they are the last thing on her mind...It took 4 shows to finally show her holding one of your kids like if he had a third eye or something. Your kids deserve someone who at least acknowledges them if they are living inthe same house... I can't believe, she can't even be nice to them, know what they like or even concerned about their nutrition.. A mother she is not,,, she is alot of other things ALOT,, but not a mother or a partner. I am glad Josh is at home,, maybe AShley should go away.

Yes, this episode seemed more "real" than the previous ones. I wish we could see Slade and Jo and the kids together more. Gracin is just ADORABLE!!! And I think I liked her with the kids. NOT in that hideous French Maids uniform, but with the kids. They do like her, and she seems to be like "an older sister" to them, rather than a future step mom...They showed a vulnerable side to Kimberly. And they showed a softer side to Brianna-which is SICK OF HER MOTHER ALWAYS IN HER FACE. It's sooo sad how Vikki is always in her face and up in her business and poor Michael (who is a lazy peice of crap) but Vikki doesn't help the situation with her obsession with Brianna. Regardless if Brianna is "saving herself for marriage" she's got a great boyfriend. He's got goals and he's very very repsectful (even when Vikki isn't) and if Brianna marries a firefighter, she's one lucky chick. They make good money, and save lives and are RESPECTED. Vikki-open those eyes of yours!!!...Lauri. Aye! Cocktails, botox, and Playboy Pictorials. Need I say more??? Josh seems like a good kid. He just needs some TLC. Lauri tries too hard to be the Cool Aunt. Not the cool-but disciplined Mother. It was heartwarming to see Josh grab Sophie into such a wonderful embrace. Sooo sweet. --Ashley needs a reality check. Get a life! ...Jeanna-IS EVERYTHING ABOUT BASEBALL???

Do not really like Kimberly at all. She drives me nuts, but I really hope she is okay with her skin cancer, that is really a bad situation.
I don't care for her much either. What I don't understand though is, if she has had four previous malignant melanomas why the heck is she hanging out at the beach? She looks awfully tan for someone who probably shouldn't be in the sun at all. And maybe if she wore more clothes. Oh, well, hopefully her daughter will learn from this.

well I think Shane is getting ready for some tough love. Now that his younger brother is looking like the "chosen one" by his parents. It is so sad how they obviously make competition a barrier in that house. Till Shane shines some victory, you know Jenna will be nothing but sweet to her little baby, the one she did right by.

Jo....please, who are you trying to fool? You're lines "I don't cook, I don't clean, What's Pledge?" LAME!! Sorry, missy not buying it. Last week we had to hear Shane tell his mom that everyone is taking turns "being around her" and that Slade doesn't want anyone else looking at her (WHAT?)and last night she played the part of dumb spoiled rich chick who doesn't cook, never cleans, and oh poor thing has to pick up dog poo in her stilettos. What next? I agree, there are many beautiful Hispanic women out there, Jo is average.....and trying too hard to be something she's not. Other than that nonsense, the rest of the show seemed okay, Kim's medical condition and the comment she made about not being around for her family because no one will love them the way she does (something many in that situation can relate to). And Josh actually had a look of remorse when he talked about what it was like to be in juevenile hall...hopefully this WILL be a wake up call and he can get his life back on track while he's still young. Okay, but what was with that kid saying Laurie is the most beautiful woman he ever saw...who was that?

April 19, 2006 - 12:58 PM
I totally agree with you; she seems to be out in the sun an awful lot; and I never see her putting on sunscreen (like when playing tennis, etc.) Of course, she could have the old "spray-on" tan; which for her sake I hope that is what it is! My father had malignant melanomas and I can tell you that it is a very scary thing to go through; but he is so very careful going out in the sun; always wearing sunscreens, hats, etc. Since this show was taped last year, it looks like she is out of the woods, but hopefully there will be no more scares for her. Unfortunately, as mean as this sounds, looks like the sun has already done its damage to her face. She already has the whole "fake" thing going, she may want to start some chemical peels or something for her face. And that hair, for God's sake, I have never seen anything like it; looks like Barbie doll hair, doesn't it?
I almost feel bad slamming these people, but you know, they put themselves out there and they wanted all of this attention, so I guess you get what you ask for sometimes, right? Money or no money, I cannot understand why people would put themselves out there like that? How embarrassing; everyone to see all of that. I said before in my previous post that these women are not any different than millions of other women across the country. I saw several posts previously saying that these people "were not that wealthy." I would agree completely. A million dollar home in California is nothing! However, I think Jeana and Vicki do have nice homes and seem to have pretty good lifestyles; and Kimberly's lifestyle does not seem so bad either, even though her home is not impressive. That is why living in the midwest (northern Illinois - Chicagoland) is not so bad; you get more bang for your buck!
But for us "Real Housewives of the Midwest"; you just have to laugh at how these people really do live. Now I will say that all of us would not mind having more money, but these people seem so obsessed with money and the lifestyles they crave (Slade and Jo, for example); Slade is so desperate to become something more, it is truly pretty sad to watch); and Jo, well, she wants it all too; but I just bet she wishes Slade did not have ANY children. When she was interacting with the kids, she was so uncomfortable. On the beach she was laying out in the sun (of course, top off while laying on her stomach; real appropriate with kids around); and she was just sooooo exhausted; WHAT? She went grocery shopping with the kids, how is that exhausting!!! Did anyone else find that hysterical?????

April 19, 2006 - 01:03 PM
Yeah, it does seem that Jo and Slade may have a "script" somewhere. They probably even rehearse before the cameras come around. Someone posted that Slade won an AUCTION to be on this show??? Can that be right? Good Lord! He was probably a geeky kid in highschool. Now he's somewhat attractive (hense the word "somewhat") and has some money. He totally wants to show it all off and drool over his HOT GIRLFRIEND. (Who isn't all that hot). And then brag about his 100K wedding budget. I can just see them putting together their script "hey, we'll go on a date and go go cart racing, you'll lose, and then we can make a bet that if you lose you have to walk around the house in a French Maid's outfit with a feather duster." PLEASE! Give the audience SOME credit.

Someone's ought to start a campaign and send pictures of hot women to him... he's gotta leave that girl.. I mean she's got big boobs, but that's all... I've seen nicer bodies in Hermosa, Newport Beach, Laguna and Dana Point.

ITA about her as a mother and she also is my favorite. What I find fascinating is that she is the least body conscious of all the women - Not out there worrying about plastic surgery, lipo, collagen, etc. And she is a former Playmate to boot! That shows she is not pretentious. She also seems the most "normal" of the mothers. I understand the baseball angle. I think this is her husband's dream and she is pushing it on her sons to help her husband and his family. Her kids seem the most normal of all the children.

okay, yes, Jeana seems like a really nice woman and probably not a bad mother; she is also sucessful and not at all plastic like the others; however, when they went to the college and the coach was showing them around the campus - the classrooms - she actually said she did not care about that stuff!!!!! Again, what a terrible message to send to her kids! What if the baseball does not pan out for both of her boys? What then?? Will they be failures? Because that is how she portrays her family on the show!

Am I the only one that caught the blunder Jo made when she said "what's Pledge"? This is after the first few episodes when she said she first decided to stay home and clean and cook, etc. And, no, she doesn't deserve the dogs. My dogs don't even get yelled at if they make a boo boo on the floor or elsewhere. That's why we have them, to take care of them. I think Ashley, Laurie's daughter, is a spoiled brat and needs to learn some respect for her mother (the party) and her brother (when she hung up on him and thought it was funny). Shame on her. Shane and Colton have the same mouth and lips when they speak. They are so cute. Vickie's son is lazy and Brianna is going to resent her mom. I don't care if guy works at McDonald's, it's better than delivering pizza one night a week. Boo Hoo. I could go on forever.

Okay, first of all, did you see Jo do the drunk march while picking up after her dogs? She was buzzed (as in every episode), doing the stiff-legged, short-stepped walk.....she's got a problem. Whiney, whiney, whiney. Slade is so insecure, and must have really come from humble beginnings because he mentions his money in every episode, too. Easy come, easy go, Slade....watch out.
Secondly, I knew Shane, Kara and Colton when they were little. Colton was a toddler, and Shane was about 6 or 8. Shane didn't stand a chance, he was the same sweet kid back then, just really confused, didn't have a choice in anything he did, it was all baseball. Kara was sweet but had the IQ of a box of rocks, and they try to pass her off as the smart one????? okayyyyyyyyyyy. Jeana had REALLY short hair, wore zero makeup and cursed like a sailor. Interestingly I like her best on this show (I didn't like her back then at all). She seems to be getting things handled and I like that.
I knew Brianna (Vicki's daughter) a few years ago and cracked up when she said she and her boyfriend exchanged promise rings not to have sex. She was VERY FRIENDLY with the boys, according to my daughter, who was on pep squad with her. Maybe she's found the right guy and settled down a bit, though, and that's good.
Laurie, honey, those True Religion jeans you wear are $200-$300 a pop....that Ladera Ranch condo is half a million and your SUV not only guzzles gas but is a price hog. Where do we find sympathy for you?
And I agree Kim shoulda had her nose fixed first. Her skin's lack of elasticity gives away her age and makes the boobs and hair extensions look WAY our of place.
Okay, enough venting! That was therapeutic!!!

Hello and YES I agree with you...Her son Colton is going to be the one to watch! He's only 13 and by god look at him.

You are totally right, the "What's Pledge?" comment was unbeliebable! I don't understand, she was home for like what, a year, what was she doing all that time???? Who doesn't clean their house? Even people with cleaning staff occasionally dust the furniture for God's sake!!! So she stayed home, did nothing. Remember in one of the first episodes she was sitting on the counter in the kitchen and was talking on the phone and someone on the phone must have said "what are you doing?" and she says "nothing, just sittin!" I could not believe what I was seeing actually. Anyone else thought that was ridiculous???? I don't know about everyone else, but being a stay-at-home mom, taking care of everything, there is no such thing as "just sittin'"!!!!

I think Ashley, Laurie's daughter, is a spoiled brat and needs to learn some respect for her mother (the party) and her brother (when she hung up on him and thought it was funny). Shame on her. Shane and Colton have the same mouth and lips when they speak. They are so cute. Vickie's son is lazy and Brianna is going to resent her mom. I don't care if guy works at McDonald's, it's better than delivering pizza one night a week. Boo Hoo. I could go on forever.
You are totally right, the "What's Pledge?" comment was unbeliebable! I don't understand, she was home for like what, a year, what was she doing all that time???? Who doesn't clean their house? Even people with cleaning staff occasionally dust the furniture for God's sake!!! So she stayed home, did nothing. Remember in one of the first episodes she was sitting on the counter in the kitchen and was talking on the phone and someone on the phone must have said "what are you doing?" and she says "nothing, just sittin!" I could not believe what I was seeing actually. Anyone else thought that was ridiculous???? I don't know about everyone else, but being a stay-at-home mom, taking care of everything, there is no such thing as "just sittin'"!!!!
Oh I know..how can anyone who says there "college educated"...be such a FU....G DUMBASS!!!!

Okay, first of all, did you see Jo do the drunk march while picking up after her dogs? She was buzzed (as in every episode), doing the stiff-legged, short-stepped walk.....she's got a problem. Whiney, whiney, whiney. Slade is so insecure, and must have really come from humble beginnings because he mentions his money in every episode, too. Easy come, easy go, Slade....watch out.
Secondly, I knew Shane, Kara and Colton when they were little. Colton was a toddler, and Shane was about 6 or 8. Shane didn't stand a chance, he was the same sweet kid back then, just really confused, didn't have a choice in anything he did, it was all baseball. Kara was sweet but had the IQ of a box of rocks, and they try to pass her off as the smart one????? okayyyyyyyyyyy. Jeana had REALLY short hair, wore zero makeup and cursed like a sailor. Interestingly I like her best on this show (I didn't like her back then at all). She seems to be getting things handled and I like that.
I knew Brianna (Vicki's daughter) a few years ago and cracked up when she said she and her boyfriend exchanged promise rings not to have sex. She was VERY FRIENDLY with the boys, according to my daughter, who was on pep squad with her. Maybe she's found the right guy and settled down a bit, though, and that's good.
Laurie, honey, those True Religion jeans you wear are $200-$300 a pop....that Ladera Ranch condo is half a million and your SUV not only guzzles gas but is a price hog. Where do we find sympathy for you?
And I agree Kim shoulda had her nose fixed first. Her skin's lack of elasticity gives away her age and makes the boobs and hair extensions look WAY our of place.
Okay, enough venting! That was therapeutic!!!
I love that, the "drunk march!" Yes, that is all Jo seems to do is get loaded; practically every scene she is in she has a drink her hand; day, night, anywhere, she has a drink! I really think she has a problem; next week's scenes show Slade confronting her about her drinking, that should be interesting! If those two are still together, I will be shocked! I also agree with the comment about Lauri; I too do not feel sorry for her; the True Religion jeans and Botox, etc., she really does not seem like she is really hurting very much at all. Awww, poor thing isn't "living behind the gates" anymore. Rough life.

Hi all!
I have to say, I really enjoy the show!
Jo seems really cool, but she ACTS likes she's ditzy, but I believe she is is actually quite smart. Does anyone else think Slade constantly criticizes her? I felt sorry for her.
Slade seems insecure and jealous and controlling. Girl you need to get yourself a man who is sincere and whole! That kind of control will drive you batty.
I think everyone on the show suffers some kind of compulsive anxiety disorder!
The mom who bikes all the time with the breast implants. (Kim). I feel like Kim is ACTING all the time. Like when she went dancing with her friends and was acting like a high school student. Just be normal. Stop pretending. You’re a good person, so act real. Your neck looks fine! It’s not about the face or the breasts, it’s about who you are inside!
Jeanna seems genuine, but she needs to stop giving into her kids.
They need some serious reality check. Like get a job at the mall for $6 an hour. I do feel sorry for the kids because unless Mom and dad keep supporting them for the rest of their lives, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride in reality town! For example, Giving a 16 year old girl a brand new Mercedes. HUH?
and Shane…, no one bothered about his high school graduation. Even if he didn’t do well, how about a little support for something other than baseball?. Does the dad seem angry? I think they all need some therapy.
Lauri needs to teach her eldest daughter some skills. Like balancing a checkbook. How’s she supposed to know how to handle money if no one ever taught her? The daughter walks around in a daze and lacks some kind of education. GO TO COLLEGE and train your mind.
Vicki: It’s great you work so hard, but dang ease up on your daughter and stop trying to control her life. Put some of that attention on your out-of-control son. The son needs a serious time out on his own with NO CASH. He has a very negative snobby attitude and is not very hard working. It’s not funny, it’s sad. He has everything and yet appreciate’s nothing.
TO ALL THE WOMEN: You look great, so stop focusing on looks and purses and material things. Do something with your minds. Do something for someone else! Take care of your kids! They need some attention, time, love, guidance, discipline, and education.

Ps I feel sorry for Vicki because she is busting her butt and living with a bunch of freeloaders. The son needs a serious bashing and sent off to a military academy.
Kim needs therapy.
If Lauri is so hard up, how come she’s wearing such expensive jeans???
Jeana seems normal
Jo needs detox, but is a great person! Dump the Slade dude.
I enjoy the show because it’s fun to watch people!

You're kidding me about Kara, right? She has never had "the IQ of a box of rocks". She does great in school, and always has! She's in AP classes, and she will end up at a good college. Her GPA is above a 4.0 and she's the editor of the yearbook next year. Definitely a lot smarter than a box of rocks. Glad to see other people, besides you anyway, are finally starting to see what great people the Keoughs are.

Slade works for United Title. Slade & Jo got on the show because Scott Dunlop that is the producer of the show lives in Cota. After taping the show alot of things came to a head with Jo and Slade and they broke up for a while and are no longer engaged, she moved out of the home but since has moved back in. Slade is a cheat on her since I was the one he was cheating with up until recently. He is probably cheating on her with several girls for all I know. It ended when I figured I don't know the truth at all from him. Jo is a gold digger and was after always trying to land pro bball players before she met Slade. She is not the material that Slade had stated to me he is looking for that he wants a woman that is into family etc. Who knows what is going to happen. I am glad I am done with him.

Sounds like you're all very sweet people, socalhottie.
But of course Jo was going to move back in with Slade for the show's airing. She wouldn't be a "Real Hosewife" (pun intended) if she wasn't there with him and I'm sure with all of the "media glare" focused on them, she and Slade both think this is their big show biz breakthrough. I'm looking forward to seeing one or both on the next Battle of the Network Reality Stars.
My favorite smarmy moment of this episode: Kimberly casually mentioning that the cheesy bracelet she got hubby was "under $2000." I would bet that it was actually WAY under $2000, but don't these people realize how tacky it is to constantly reference how much everything costs? And while these two are fortunate to live in a house that has appreciated in value quite considerably, I don't get the sense in the slightest that they are made of money, so it is laughable to see them putting on such airs.

the Keoughs need to parent their children, teach them some values, like education. Regardless of GPA, no one seems to be putting any value on the children learning.

So Slade is looking for a good woman to parent his children, but meantime he was cheating with you? HUH?? Jo and Slade act like immature teenagers. I feel sorry for the kids!

I'd say, referencing what Excalibur said above, that all the CdeC gang we've seen knows "the cost of everything and the value of nothing."
Does anyone other than me think Vicki is trying to live a bit vicariously through her daughter? The idea of "Mom" driving to college up once or twice a week to go to dinner and shopping (I assume somewhere in LA) sounded pathetic.
I do wish the ladies would wear a few more clothes, or rather, some that are a bit more classic and elegant. One can still look sexy at 45, but not by dressing as a coed.

Vicki is definately living vivariously thru her daughter.And the daughter knows it too and she's smarter than her mother. Vicki doesn't want her daughter with her boyfriend because he's a fireman and she wants her with some Fortune 500 guy. Hey, money is NOT everything. Fire fighting is an honorable job in my book.
Some of the women wear sexy clothes to show off the thousands of dollars they spent on boob implants, they don't care that they look like hootchies. And Laurie admitted she likes being referred to as a MILF.

I agree. The older wives are ridiculous with the clothes they wear. Well....maybe it's just all that silicone. Do you think they are embarrassed at all by how they look when they watch the show on tv? I would be horrified!
I have only watched about three episodes and some others for only 15 minutes or so...you can only take them in small doses.
AND it kills me how Vicki's husband has been out of work for 8 months or whatever and she is always talking about what a stress it is and where the money will come from...he seems perfectly fine with not working....ANd then they go buy a half a million dollar house for him to fix up and sell??
WHAT??!! I'm sure it's not too much of a stress if you can go blow that money without your husband working....or get a loan for it on that one little income.
Jo??? Oh my gosh, just throw her off a cliff. What a spoiled brat. Slade is no peach, but pa-lease. She's an idiot. How do you even date a woman that is so lame with your kids....or you for that matter....let alone get engaged to her. That pairing will never work. They have no respect for each other at all. It's ridiculous.
AND my final observation....aside from all their kids being screwed up by the lifestyles...is that these chicks need to lay off the eyeliner! ick. More make-up when you age, just makes you look older....and slightly pathetic.
I'm sure they will all be sorry for ever signing on to this show.

TOO FUNNY!! Your post was soooo well put. Vikki- I liked for a split second at the begining, but she needs to lay off the daughter. Give the girl some breathing room. And her husband kinda laughs off the fact that he hasn't worked in 8 months and I'm sure he finds it hysterical that Vikki can't "control" his job situation. Yeah, if they're hurting for money why buy a $700K "fixer-upper"???
Jo---aye!!! Such a waste of TV space. Jo and Slade are just soooo pretentious and full of themselves and camera hungry. They are all about the bling and the cash flow. And flaunting themselves as if they were Nick and Jessica. Ewwwww!!!!
You're sooo dead on about the eye makeup. Women who wear the smokey eyes should be 25 and under. You can't get away with that crap after you get the crows feet. It only emphazises the wrinkles and bags. But Lauri has had sooo much botox that it doesn't affect her like Jeanna and Kim and Vikki. Lauri does need to consult a makeup artist and get some helpful hints re: her choice of lipstick/gloss. It's too pale. Makes her look VERY PLASTIC and Odd.
