'Real Housewives of Orange County' Recap: Everyone Gangs Up on Alexis Bellino


Oh, there was a rumble in the jungle alright tonight, as we finally reached the heated dinner/girls' getaway from hell that we see on each season of The Real Housewives. It happened for the ladies of Orange County in Costa Rica, and it was Alexis Bellino in the hot seat. And boy that hot seat was hot.
 
After they all had poked fun and snickered about Alexis's every move since they left the O.C., they gathered for dinner. They started talking about how all of the guys were getting together for dinner back home while they were away, and when they asked Alexis if Jim was going she hemmed and hawed until she blurted out that he wouldn't go because of the big white elephant among them all. Namely: That Terry Dubrow called her the phoniest person ever.

So they put that elephant right in the middle of the table, and the discussion/firing squad began with everyone telling Alexis just how deplorable she is.

I too find Jesus Barbie annoying, fake, and irritating as hell, but man, she really didn't deserve what she got at that table. It was a big mean girl pile up, and I can't believe she sat there and took it. Even Gretchen Rossi, who's supposed to be her friend, started in about how and why Alexis is so pretentious.

Heather Dubrow told her she saw her and her family in Nordstrom before she knew them and was appalled by their behavior. Apparently Jim was talking really loudly about how expensive the shoes he was buying were. So what? Let them brag all they want and roll your eyes behind their back, but there's no need for the rest of the ladies to act as the good taste police.

Vicki Gunvalson, who didn't like being called out for being the hypocrite she pretty much is, was going to stay out of it ... but couldn't. She told Alexis that she makes her feel beneath her, and that's weird because she has MORE MONEY. That's not hypocritical for someone who is trying to call someone out for bragging about how much money she has, now is it?

Of course, the most stinging wrath came from Tamra Barney who just can't stand Alexis. I honestly think she's jealous of her, and will never give her a chance. Plus, she just seems hell bent on being mean as of late to pretty much anyone in her path -- Vicki included. There was that nicer, kinder version of Tamra for a few episodes, but she seems to have vanished.

Alexis actually held her own pretty well during the slaughter and called Tamra out for being mean, but nothing was resolved. The drama looks like it will continue next week, but I don't foresee much moving on and bonding happening after they put all of that out there on the table before the food was even served. 
I'm no fan of Alexis (who is?), but yeah she definitely had every right to feel ganged up on that trip. Then too, while Tamra's shown us plenty of times in the past that she can be downright mean (just ask Slade, but then he deserved Tamra's wrath, Alexis didn't) and nasty, why she felt the need to go full tilt on Alexis is beyond me, esp. considering how they've never gotten along and probably never will.

  1. To bad so sad, the bitch got exactly what she deserved. Pimpin Jimbo and Jesus Barbie, just a couple of wanna-be rich fakes. Can't wait to she her meltdown on the reunion shows.

  2. No matter what Alexis have said and done in her past, I have always seen her behave friendly towards all the girls. No one deserved to be called out on their faults on national TV. I hope Alexis realizes that she doesn't have to change to make anyone else happy. If you are proud...SAY IT LOUD! Remember grown women that there was a better way to handle that situation without looking like a bully. Just wait for the day your kids are crying because their friends called them out for being spoiled little rich brats. Maybe Alexis should take up boxing...I bet you they will think twice before picking on her next time. BESIDES...I really do not find either of the ladies to be the brightest star in the sky. And for Tamra...if you were and are so smart you find a way to support yourself without having a man to help you.

    1. I don't think Peggy Tanous would agree with you.

    2. Tamra is a realtor, Eddie is not rich and does not support her. I think Alexis would be queen of women needing men to support them. She used to cheat on her first husband for designer jeans!!

  3. I'm looking all over trying to find out what month they filmed in Costa Rica because I was at the same place in October. Can't fund it anywhere online. Any clue? Thanks

  4. This gang bang on Alexis was dumb. She deserved what was said, but not like that in a hateful group setting. This was obviously Tamra's plan when she befriended Gretchen, she took away Alexis's support and with the help of Heather, took Alexis down.

  5. Alexis has brought this upon herself over the past several seasons. By words and actions. Sorry honey, you've no one to blame but yourself.

  6. regardless of what anyone thinks of the other;
    ganging up like a bunch of 6th grade bullies
    so infantile and cruel. lost a lot of respect
    for heather, did not think that was her style.
    tamra has and will always be trailer trash.
    hearing her or vicky's voice screeching;
    is unbearable. i thought gretchen and even
    heather held back some; and were a little
    embarassed to be doing this.

  7. That stupid slut Alexis started the whole thing. She's the one who brought up the Terry comment, she should have kept her jizz receptacle shut!

  8. Tamara had this ambush in mind before the trip. She even talked about it with Heather over dinner. I personally don't care for Alexis, but on a supposed girls trip for fun, this was not the time or place for the brow beating she took. Shame on all of them, especially Gretchen, who is supposed to be her friend.

    I've watched the Housewives series from the beginning. There was always the gossip and cattiness between the women, but never these brutal group engagements. Is it the fault of the cast, producers or viewers, I think a combination off all three. All the housewives shows have evolved to the mean girl routine, not nearly as fun anymore. Just my 2 cents worth.

  9. I know I'm a couple of days late on this but I agree with some of the above. Alexis can be a bit shallow at times but Tamra was plain ol mean girl gone wild. She has picked and flopped on everyone. Something is mentally wrong with her.
