Real Housewives of Orange County: The miracle at Miraval! A blessing or a curse?

This is the least zen of zen retreats in The Real Housewives of Orange County history.  Since when is smoking bees zen?  It’s not.

The Real Housewives of Orange County is still in Arizona pretending to be zen. As we’ve discussed in detail, Kelly Dodd and her behavior is out of control.  She’s out in Arizona whacking people over the head, screaming at people, and just generally being out of control, but Vicki Gunvalson has continuously spread rumors about Kelly and her personal life.  “I didn’t ruin Kelly’s reputation,” she told the other girls.  Um, but you’re certainly not helping.

Vicki said, “I wouldn’t go and repeat a rumor,” after all she’s done this season is repeat rumors.  During filming, a lot of the time the wives (and production) aren’t sure who is going to be a full-time housewife, who will be a “friend of,” and sometimes cast members get cut entirely.  It’s pretty clear Vicki is working her hardest to be a full-time cast member and just got a lot of her scenes cut.

Kelly tweeted last night while the show was airing about Tamra’s tendency to play both sides and stir the pot (which we all know).

Tamra Judge was definitely gaslighting Shannon Storms Beador into thinking she was going to die after being hit on the head by Kelly.  Unfortunately, Tamra does know the tricks to staying relevant and keeping the drama going – even if it doesn’t involve her.

Kelly revealed that after watching Emily Simpson in Las Vegas, they went to Dig This, which is a place where you can ride on construction equipment and destroy stuff.  Kelly drew Vicki’s face on a car and dropped an excavator bucket on her drawing.

Um.  Immediately after that, Vicki and Kelly make up.  The miracle at Miraval.  And then everyone got naked and got into the pool, like they do.  This is definitely a curse….

The Real Housewives of Orange County is on Bravo at 9 PM every Tuesday.
