    This show is absolutely filled to the brim with absurdity and so much of what is wrong with our society, but if I had to choose the cake-topper from last night, it would definitely be Lynn's comment to her daughter about how she was "practically a playboy bunny already!" Oh right, and she said it while at consultation for plastic surgery where, when he wasn't molesting her brow and showing her how she could look like the cat lady, the doctor mentioned a mother/daughter recovery! OH, AND this was all because her daughter's birthday was coming up and she already got a bmw the year before so, hey, why not a nose job!?! #therealhousewivesoftheocbroke

    @RockyMay: tell me about it. i feel so bad for them in that they clearly have no positive female (possible male either) role models in their lives. when i asked my mom for a nose job in high school she laughed and said 'what the hell kind of a family do you think this is? you're gorgeous and bat shit crazy.' which was the perfect answer and the end of that discussion. #therealhousewivesoftheocbroke

    I think this show does more to prove how out of wack real estate has been in the past 10 -15 years in certain areas than anything else. The reason why Tamra can't afford her house is because she paid too much for it years ago. These houses were built expensively, sold for nearly half of what they were worth and now everyone's watching the bubble deflate and wondering, "How did we get here?"

    You got here by living above your means, thinking you were wealthy when you were just doing well and believing that the lifestyles of rich and famous were obtainable. They aren't. Y'all wanna know when the reality show bubble is gonna burst - six months. Mainly because these nouveau riche sillies have literally sucked up all their famous time. We will actually see real reality soon and Im excited. #therealhousewivesoftheocbroke

    I have to agree with Jeanna's statement re: Vicky. I mean, the woman took a separate luggage for her books and laptop on her vacation. To Italy. With her daughter.
    Recession or no, you're doing OK, why not just take a break from work for a minute or two and enjoy the fruits of your labor without having to lug it around everywhere you go? #therealhousewivesoftheocbroke

I couldn't help but laugh at Vicki's mother. She reminded me of the cranky aunt in National Lampoon's Family Vacation. #therealhousewivesoftheocbroke

    While I don't have sympathy per se for people like Tamra, I can really see how people can get in these situations.

    My father is a salesman whose salary is 100% commission. He's had the job for 15 years, and while his income fluctuates, overall the range of his earnings has been fairly consistent, within about 10-15% variation. My parents live in southern California, and their lifestyle is nothing like the OC Housewives! No facelifts, no Rolexes, no Mercedes, minimal credit debt- a comfortable middle class lifestyle. However, when you've been making a certain amount of money for a long time, your expenses adjust to live within those means.

    Over the past 2 or so years, my father's income has dropped about 50%. He's still making more than most people in America, but when your monthly expenses are based on $x and you suddenly only have 1/2 $x it's a big adjustment, even if 1/2 $x is still a decent income. He works so hard, but people just aren't buying like they used to. My mother hasn't worked in 30 years, and it isn't like there are tons of jobs right now anyway.

    My parents are relatively lucky, as my father still has a job and they're not backwards on their house. However, people like the Housewives, who were probably living above their means to begin with, flaunting their wealth and shallowness on TV...my sympathy for them is pretty limited. Renting a house and spending money on facelifts just doesn't seem like prudent planning! At any rate, I can understand how you get into Tamra or Lynn's situation, even if some of it is their own fault.

    @SheelaNaGig: I think your comment was really insightful, although I will disagree with your last paragraph.

    For Lynne, a facelift was part of $x and x:lifestyle she livd, and now she only has 1/3 $x and she hasn't figured out how to do without yet. I'm not defending her, because if she really is evicted in a later episode, she obviously needs to get her head on straight, but I can still see how she ended up her situation.

    Also, the best of luck to your family, living is SoCal is hard right now. #therealhousewivesoftheocbroke

    Ha! These ladies are out of their minds. It looks like Vicki had the only parents who didn't give their daughters money when they needed it. Half of my friends are unemployed and have the same lifestyle they do when they are employed...because of their parents. Um, I would have to move 1,000 miles back home and live with my parents if I lost my job. My parent's don't subscribe to the "we worked hard for our money, so we'll just give you ours so you can have fun, sweetie! Don't forget to be pretty and take care of yourself!"

    I work 15 hours a day and although I'm struggling to save, I'm not struggling to live. My life doesn't rock, but at least I'm not about to be evicted.

    Also, I find it hard to commiserate with Tamra, Gretchen, and Lynne when they don't have jobs. "We can't afford our houses!" Um, that's because it's not free... #therealhousewivesoftheocbroke

    @JinxyMcDeath: I got laid off and downsized quickly and immediately. I can make ends meet now in my way more affordable lifestyle. And strangely, I like living smaller a lot more. And having roommates!

    My parents are having a hard time with it tho...they offered to pay to keep me afloat until I could find another high-paying, soul sucking gig and I had to turn them down. I wouldn't date a guy who lived off mom and dad-it's a self respect thing, isn't it? #therealhousewivesoftheocbroke

    @lermanzo: My parents have never been in a financial position to give me money. And after being un/underemployed for several months this year, I enjoy living small. I even donate now and buy more drinks for my friends! And of course, I hate clothes shopping. And for the first time EVER, I have been able to save up a few months rent - just in case this happens again. #therealhousewivesoftheocbroke

    It is disgusting to me that a plastic surgeon is telling that girl (how old is she?!) that she needs a nose job to rid herself of a "bump". That girl would be considered gorgeous anywhere she went and does not need work done. I can't believe her mom is encouraging plastic surgery as a way to build self-esteem. #therealhousewivesoftheocbroke
