If anyone complains that theres too much drama, tell them to go watch some other show! Who watches a "reality" show to see everybody get along and sing love songs?? Keep doing what your doing, V!

I am glad that you and your husband are working on your relationship. He seems like a good guy, although I would be upset too if my husband did not call me for 3 days while out of town. Good luck though. It's a shame to see you and Jeana on the outs. None of us know what really happened between you two ladies, so I'm not going to go there. I don't blame you for not wanting to mix a loan with friendship, but did you really have to tell the world about Jeana asking for it in the first place? I have watched several seasons of this show and I'll tell you how I really see all of you women; alot of money and NO class whatsoever. You all make it very apparent that class cannot be bought.

Vicky to be honest you were my favorite in the last season, because I understand you had problems with Don, but I also think the way you treated don last season was the way he should be deserved to be treated. I mean I respect you, your a hard worker and fun person, you need someone to full your love tank. But also Im glad you guys are doing better now, and I hope he realizes that if he doesnt fill your love tank that he will be losing a great woman!

Next, its sad with how things have gone between you and jeanna. I mean just seeing you guys together its good laughs!. Unfortunately, in life you lose good friends. I lost plenty of friends this year but thats life. Also, I just dont think it was a nice thing to not give her the loan. I understand that you didnt want to involve money with her, but she is your friend and I think if you were in the same position jeanna wouldve definitely given you the money.

I just hope to see a nicer vicky this season. Good luck with everyting!

While I understand not wanting to mix friendship and money, you have dumped Jeana in a time where she needs the support of friends and family most. I am extremely disappointed that you have shown yourself to be so shallow.

I hope you and Jeanna work things out! I love you guys separately and as friends! I may not be the typical viewer, but I enjoy seeing the fun moments and bonding that the "Housewives" have as friends over the moments of fighting and drama... I hope that all the long term friendships that we've observed throughout the seasons don't disintegrate as time goes on.

Vicki,

I respect and admire the fierce love you have for your children. I am writing this just to comment on tonight's episode. You stated that you were taking Briana to Italy for completing her BSN (congrats, Briana)which usually takes 7 years but she completed it in 3 years. Just a little correction, a traditional BSN takes 4 yrs not 7 years. I completed mine also in 3 years and I am working on MSN which base on your major and university can take from 1-3 years. once again, CONGRATS, BRIANA.

One thing I have learned as a survivor of tough times is that when you do finally come out of the rut you have gotten yourself in, you have a clear view of who to thank for helping you out, and who proved to be selfish, insensitive and judgemental. I think it's great that this housewife hasn't been affected by the downturn in the economy as much as her fellow castmates. I would think she would be gracious and sympathetic, perhaps not to the point of lending money, but going out of your way to take away the listing they had together was just cruel.
Unfortunately, people who sit in judgement, eventually will find themselves, through no fault of their own, in a situation where you may need help. I hope that you have someone there when you are in this position.

Vicki-

I must admit that it has taken me a few seasons to warm up to your cold and direct demeanor. However from last season to this I am seeing you soften around the edges a little and it is so refreshing. I really hope you continue to act like a lady and understand that you CAN speak your mind without being rude or hurtful. Congratulations to you and Donn and I hope all the best for you-partnership is so important in a marriage! I really think that because your image is your business- you should steer clear of the drama that Gretchen and Tamra continue to find themselves in. You are an educated, successful, classy business woman and when you join sides in their nonsense you drop right down to the immature high school BS and you look ridiculous. Keep above the gossip and you will continue to earn respect for being open minded and mature.

I'm so glad Vicki and Don were able to work out their marital troubles. It would have been easy to divorce and move on. I hope Vicki and Don can reach out to Tamara and Simon and help them work through their struggles. Props to Vicki for setting a good example and being open about it!

Vickie, if YOU were in trouble, Jeanna would have lent you the money with no questions asked.

Vicki,

Pray to God you never fall on hard times. I wonder who would be there for you if you needed financial help?

Vicki did the right thing about never lending money to anyone.Jeanna should have been realistic about her lifestyle and saved some money for the inevitable day when the real estate market would get bad. You should never mix business and your personal life. I admire Vicki for overcoming adversity and achieving success on her own. She has a lot more common sense than most college graduats.

What a great friend you are Vicki, you should be so proud of yourself for throwing Jeana under the bus the way you did. I am sure it was very important to your ego to make sure everyone knew that Jeana had asked for a loan.

Yes it is never a good idea to loan friends money, with that being said, you give it to them with no expecation of being repaid. I think you can afford it, unless you are not as wealthy as you would like everyone to think you are.

I am impressed that Don has decided to try and make the marriage work, God love Don, because it is hard to find anything to love about you on this show.

Hoping it is just the editing!

You shocked me by jumping out of the plane...way to go! I am so glad to see you and Donn doing better...love the smiles and kisses. He seems like a great guy. It is so good that you can joke about things from the past like "love tanks." Great attitude.
I think you probably should not have mentioned to anyone that Jeanna asked for a loan. That should have been kept private.

Okay, All I have to say is I am a small fish in a big pool and you probably won't read this, I live in Ohio and I have a lot of old money and new money I made but I promise you I don't judge my life or my families life on it like you do....I also understand that's the game of the show I only hope you are not that vain and unloving! You seem to have a great hubby..but you need to get out and clean the pool with him don't just talk about your nails I mean honestly sweetie, there are so many more thing worry about!!! I honestly feel sorry for you b/c money doesn't buy the heart hence your comment last season.. I respect your work ethic I am the same way, but be real sweetie, life is hard just love what you have money isn't going to take care of you if you are sick or old only family will....

I really like you. Your remind me of myself. You don't like to waste time, you are constantly making moves. I like that you don't feel sorry for anyone and believe everyone should create their own luck, like you have. Some things you do I think are uneccessary (some bitchy things) but for the most part I love you.. you're my favorite. Miss Independent!! xoxoxo

Good for you and Donn! I like that you have showed that couples have problems but CAN work it out and move on. Too many people would rather just quit. And we all know that is not your personality! Looking forward to another great season and hearing your Woo-Hoo!

I'm not a fan of Vicki's, however, I must say that I am happy to hear that you & Donn have patched things up and have decided to stick it out. Congratulations on that! I'm hoping that this season you will not be such a hypocrite and change my opinion of you...like it really matters ;) lol. Be kind to Jeana, I believe that despite what you think, she is a dear friend, you just happen to share differnet opinions. Looking forward to more episodes.

Vicky,
I enjoy watching you on the OC. I have watched from minute one, and I do like you. That said, I think you are taking the concept of boundaries way too far in justifying why you didn't help Jeana when she was in need. During tough times, friends need the blessing of love and some TLC. It sounds like you quickly cut her off from your friendship when she became in need of some legitimate help. Tsk. Tsk. It is your choice not to give her money, but you are the one who now seems emotionally bankrupt toward a good friend. It's time to start reaching out to her, even if you don't want to. That's part of being a grown up and real friend. The choice is your's and your's alone. I think the fans want to see your friendship re-emerge with your once-good buddy.

Vicki.....My wife and I are proud of you and the rest of the OC CALIFORNIA girls.
You are very good parents and represent yourselves in a beautiful fashion with class. There is nothing Fake about any of you. I love the fact that you do not take any of yourselves too seriously. I love to watch the house wife's of NY make complete fools of themselves and try to be something they are not. Vicki you are a smart wonderful Person and I hope My wife Nicole and I can Give you a big huge some day when we get back to Irvine CA from Costa Rica.

Vicki...My only comment is on the Jeanna issue and lending money to her or not to lend money. I understand the realestate listing issue, I would never list a home with a friend as it can create a ripple in the relationship. However the loan I think you were wrong in turning your back on her. I look at it this way myself if I know that this person would lend me money if the shoe were on the other foot then I would have no problem helping them out. Jeanna is a very generous person from all I have seen over the years of watching this show, s adn I go back to the very forst ever show. She seems to be the most gracious and down to earth out of the bunch, not pretencious at all. Gosh I think it is just so wrong not to be there to help a friend that you know would do for you if you needed it, and you never know it could be you next year or the year after. It's sad to know you are a fair weather friend only..how very sad!

Vicki,

I'm so happy you and Don have agreed to work on your marriage. He seems like a great guy. I appreciate your work ethic and understand your drive. Don't stop and don't let those that you care the most about get lost in the process. I also understand the situation with Jeana and I also hope you two can continue to be friends; even if she doesn't completely understand your stance on the borrowing.

I want to skydive now!!!!

Looking forward to this season...this is my guilty pleasure (I've been hooked since season one).

Vicki its sad to see that some one like you let money come between you and a "friend". I mean times are really hard on everyone and if you didn't want to loan the money fine you have your reasons, but to ignore her and call her toxic is harsh. Plus that seemed like a really private matter that didn't need to be aired unless Jeana was comfortable with it. But I guess its true, hard times really show people who their real friends are, and brings out everyone's true colors.

Vicki,
I love watching the show and I really admire your work ethic but I don't understand why you had to tell the world about Jeana asking to borrow money. How would you feel if you got into a situation and you had to ask for help. I'm sure it wasn't easy for her to ask for help and if you have extra money you should give back and who better than a friend. If I only have $5.00 I would give my friend $2.50 if she needed it. I wouldn't even have let her pay me back. If you have success you should help others it will do wonders for them and make you feel great inside.

I am so happy for you and Donn, what a great couple you are!
I'm also happy to see you backing away from the drama, hopefully Tamra will follow your lead.
"Vicki" is now what my friends call me when I am in my most fun and fabulous form.

out of all the house wifes you are my favorite because you are honest and you do not hold anything back from anyone...i am so glad you and Don are working on your marriage and is grat to see that you guys are took the time to sit and talk about what the problem was,it goes to show you that communication in a relationship is very improtant,and plus you guys look really good together...and be easy on the girls, some of them are not ready for you yet....

to Branvo...it'd be really cool if you could add a like or dislike option for the comments section. PLEASE add these buttons.. it'd be fun.

Hi Vicki,

I am glad that the OC wives are back (I think). You are my favorite, always have been. I do not blame you for seperating your personal and professional life with Jeana. Don't get me wrong, I like her alot. However, friends and money do not mix. Anyway. Like I said I am glad to see you back on the show. I was hoping that you would continue. On the other hand, if every episode is going to show Tamera and Gretchen arguing, I will stop watching it. Promise! It seems as though yourself, Jeana, and Lynne are the most adult acting ladies on there. The other two bickering like they do reminds me of my daughters days in high school. I dont know if any of you actually read this, but I hope someone does. I feel like Slade is with Gretchen just to be back on the show. Stay focused on your family, you and Donn will be fine, then your business, then your show. I feel like this show is turning into a circus with all the fighting. Hopefully I am wrong. Take care of yourself Vicki, you will do fine! :o)

I wish you the best with your family. You truely seem to be a dedicated and loving Mother. However, you do not appear (we only know what we see broadcasted) to be a giving, understanding or loving person to your husband and/or friends. It is obvious from your statements and actions that you do not want to be around anyone but Tamara. So ask yourself, why are you still on the show?

Vicki, you really amaze me. I am glad your marriage with Don is working out better for the both of you. I don't like that you seem to have turned on someone you called your friend Jeanna. I understand the part about you not lending her money, but why did everyone need to know that she asked to borrow money from you? I think you will soon see who your real friends are. Tamara is not one of them. I feel the both of you are extremely jealous of Gretchen and for good reason. It appears that you both need to focus on your own lives and not trying to destroy Gretchen. She is living her life and doing her own thing and the both of you are allowing your relationships with your husbands to suffer while you keep up with petty cat fights.

I see that many viewers have the same opinion as me. I think you are very mistaken if you think Jeanna is toxic and not Tamara. Do you not see all the junk she has said about ppl. And furthermore to say on national tv that Jeanna asked to borrow money from you is clearly out of line. I think you are and always have been OBSSESSED BY MONEY and it makes you almost feel better about yourself to think your finances are alot better then the other housewives.

Although I dont know everything that happen between you and jeana i think that a real friend is there for you no matter what and true friends dont turn there back on each other. I hope you the best though and will be praying the you and her will work yalls friendship out because its hurtful to lose good friends. You need to be there for her and help her as best as you can cause you never no when you will need her or someone else..Money will vanish and so will jobs, belive me i know only to well....GOD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT, REMEMBER THAT VICKI, AND IF YOU EVER NEED SOMEONE IM HERE FOR YOU AND JEANA.....LOVE YALL

Good for you for working on your marriage. People are too quick to quit marriage these days. Of all the housewives, I respect your parenting style the most.

It's comforting that you and Donn are working things out because you really made him look bad last season. There's nothing on the other side of that mountain, so work on what you have and be grateful for your husband. As for you and your friendship with Jeana...you weren't a friend. You are always looking at things in a way that only benefits you and never anyone in your life. The right thing to do would have been to at least approach Jeana about your feelings of mixing friendship and business and apologizing for having crossed that line. As far as you lending her money, you should have been there for her considering that you took food from her mouth when you took the account from underneath her. Too think that Tamara is going to be any better of a friend is a joke. You really are the one I have to question when it comes to defining friendship.

I think it was incredibly selfish of you to replace Jeana as your real estate agent When she so clearly needed the commission. It was also incredibly selfish to not give her any money when she needed it. It probably was very hard for her to ask you. You seem to me like you are a -what-have-you-done-for-me-lately- kinda girl. We sacrifice for our friends, hold their hands through the hard times, and are there for them through money problems. It is just what a good friend does.

I did use to like you in the first two season's. You were very strong and hard working women. You showed a lot of women out there you do not need a man to be wealthy. But ever since Tamara came on the show you have changed. You do not give people a chance, you are to judgemental. You think everyone is down there and your above everyone. I think it was very rude of you to annocune that Jeana asked to borrow money. Even more rude when you did not let her borrow it. You use to think of her as such a great friend but you can not help a friend out in need. If that was you asking she would help you. The only thing I can say is just stay yourself, the one great thing about you is you are real. You dont change your imagine like all these other women and you work hard. Just become the Vicki everyone use to enjoy watching.

after reading jeanna's blog I am glad her real friends were there for her financially and emotionally. It is embarrasing to have to ask for a loan. I do not loan money but I do understand they are asking because they are desperate. Typically I'll give you one fourth of whatever loan amount you asked for, I don't want them worrying about how to pay me back. I think the worst thing is make the loan request public knowledge and that is why I don't want to see or hear you Vicki, you just put Jeanna's hardship on blast and I don't think that was necessary unless you want everyone to recognize her as a loser.

Vicki, you are the kind of friend that doesn't help a friend in need? Wow, that says so much about you as a person not as a friend. With friends like you, Jeanna doesn't need enemies.

Vicki:

I am so proud of the blog you just written. I have to be honest that I was angry that you were ganging up on Gretchen during the party- but happy that you realize it was your bad. I admire you in so many ways but feel as though that you are very tough/condesending on other people- and there is no reason to be! You have a great life.

You write that you don't like to get into girl fights, yet you clearly add fuel to the fire. You are not portrayed as a good friend to any one, yet you demand that people are good friends to you. While I agree with keeping personal and business relations seperated, you should've kept relations strong by not airing that she needed to borrow money. One must keep in mind that they do not know what the future holds, and you may have to ask Jeana for a favor at some point. Good luck to you and Don. I think you should keep snide comments about your castmates to yourself (Lynn and her cuffs), but that wouldn't make for good tv.

Vicki, I was so saddened by what you said about you not lending the money to Jeanna and that she was a toxic friend It's okay if you decided it was not a good idea to lend her the money; but to tell everyone about it? Last season the way you treated your hubbie I thought was the lowest you could go,boy was I wrong.

Hi Vicki. You are my favorite OC housewife. I think you handled yourself with extreme class at that cat fight. You are braver than I jumping out of that plane. My palms sweat as I watched you jump. All the best to you and Don with your marriage. I have been married 20yrs. and I know how much work it takes. You are a lovely couple. So glad to have you back on Bravo, you were missed.

I was wishing that you were back to the 1st year Vicki. I can see that you are not. 1. As a friend, you and Don should have sat down and spoke with Jeana about your concerns regarding realestate issues. 2. Hanging her out that she asked for a loan from you and you turning her down, makes you look mean spirited. Do you feel better for that? 3. You did not change back, it is still all about you. Your are not a friend. You do not know how to be a true friend. Your mother was right. I wish you luck. As I am sure the friend you will have, will be you and you and oh that's right, you.

wow I do understand the relationship and attention thing. I'm glad you and donn are working threw it. jeana topic. I believe you really thought about what you wanted to write and how you truly felt. I think when you thought about it you realized that jeana is a good friend. possessed some good traits as a friend. I just watched the lynn party episode and You wasnt thinking about your friendship much then. seemed like you cut all ties. I really wondered threw this whole show if anyone was really friends with anyone. I have to agree with aireole (11/7/2009). We are suppose to take care of each other and im sure if the shoe was on the other foot........well you know.

Vicki,
As a fellow skydiver, I salute your free spirit for adventure and admire all your professional achievements. Can't wait to see your jeans. Would love to see stylish jean outfits that can be worn on casual Fridays and to other professional venues.

You have come a long way Vicki becuase last season you lived in a state of oblivion. It seemed that last season you were so focused on your kids and yourself that you forgot about your husband. Your husband should be the number one priority in your life not number 3. So I'm glad your woke up and hope that your relationship with your husband continues to improve.

Great to hear your marriage back on the right track. Your right about not giving Jeana money, but you shouldn't have told the whole world she asked. I love the show. I hope everyone can work out their differences and be friends.

Friends of ours saw you this weekend at a party in Scottsdale. They said you were awesome with all of the fans at the party. They mentioned you were there co-hosting a party with business coach Mike Lindstrom--will we learn more about him this season? Congrats on everything with your business.

Vicki, glad to see that you have turned over a new leaf with your husband! I hope you continue to fill each other's "love tanks." Try to stay out of the Tamra/Gretchen drama and drama altogether (from a preview it looks like you fight w/ the newest housewife off the bat). Keep working hard, working on your marriage and family!

Wowzer! Talk about opening the season with a bang! Of course there was going to be drama with Gretchen and Tamra. There'd have to be a whole lot of summers between shows for that to get fixed. Besides, without any drama, the show would be rather dull wouldn't it? They will figure it out, or they won't. Some people truly are like oil and water. Lynne was a bit at fault for the whole situation I believe. She knew it was going to be volatile when she invited them and she should have worked it a bit differently.
Honestly, I think my favorite part of the show was the talk about how the economy is affecting the housewives as well. Granted, you're not trying to figure out how to feed a family of 5 on $400 a month; but it does make you all much more human! Glad to see you and Don are working things out...you were quite mean to him last year!
I'm looking forward to a great housewives season!

I am sooo happy the O.C. housewives are back! Althoug have to ask Vicki aren't you getting a little tierd of all this bickering that's been going on between Tamra & Gretchen? It's already getting old to me & kinda turning me off to the show. What happened to the O.C. housewives that were mature & could deal with thier problems with eachother as adults. It's like they are acting like uncivalized teenagers.

Wow. The Real Housewives of the OC is SOOOOOOOO BORING!!!!! They may be the original, but they will definitely be the 1st ones off the air! NY and Atlanta blow them out of the water!!

Hi Vicky,

I am so glad that you and your husband got to an agreement and mended your marraige problems and are together.

I had a tumor in 2000 and the Doctor thought that it was cancer, and it was not!! So, do not worry much, just pray and everything will be fine with Brianna.

We do not know all of the facts in the Jeana/Vicki situation. But on the surface, Vicki looks like a bad person in not borrowing Jeana the money. I would never turn down a friend in need. But that's just me.

Vicki, I stand behind you on not lending money to friends. That is a sure way to lose a friend and I really don't think she was being a true friend last season. You could always offer her a job so she can down size, now that is being a friend. But I doubt she would take you up on the kindness of your heart.
Vicki I would love to have a friend like you. You are a beautiful strong women. You go girl.

I am curious if you and the other women on this show actually watch the broadcast. I am confused about why you are in the show since you appear to hold everyone else in comtempt.

Hi Vicki,

I agree with your decision not to mix friendship and business. I know you are getting some flack about not lending Jeana money but I agree with you. If she can afford $200 lunches, she shouldn't be asking anyone for money. Don't feel one bit guilty or bad about your decision. You work hard for what you have and deserve the benefits of your success.

You go girl!

Vicki,
I hope that you do the same to your new BFF Tamara as you did to Jeana.
Not too mention how LOW RENT that was to announce it. I truly hope that Jeana stays away from you. You have truly proven you were NEVER a friend to her!!!

I love watching the show! However, this season I find myself frustrated with you. I just feel like you are not being fair to the other ladies, you don't give any of them a chance. It really is getting old. It seems like Tamra is the only wife good enough to be your friend. I just wish you would open yourself up to the other girls and try to see them for their strengths and talents. I feel like you are so critical and selfish. I know you can be better than that, it is okay to change. I'll keep watching.

Vicki,

I am glad that you are back on track with your family and marriage. I agree with you in not lending Jeana money--never mix friendship and business. Jeana should never have asked you in the first place. A couple of people have said that you should have just given her the money, but I disagree. I think if she hadn't have asked and you had helped her out a little on your own accord, that would have been one thing, but I think it reflects poorly on her that she asked. Watching the first episode of season 5, she seems to have no drive to better her situation. Sad, because I liked her when this all started in season 1, I think she has no voice now. I think she is trying to be someone she is not. Keep on doing what you do!

you seem to have turned over a new leave this year we will see how long it last.

Vicki,
I am glad you and Don are happy now, and remember Jenna has been your neighbor and friend for a long time, she has told you about working to hard as a friend with concern and you should show her concern and help her with her financial situation, if not with giving her money than with budgeting advice and some compasion. I hope all is well with Brianna. I also hope that if Tamara who you seem to favor over Jenna has no compasion for Gretchen at all which is wrong, but if not for so much drama you wouldn't have as many viewers. bust of luck to you

Vicki,
I think you made the right decision in the Jeana situation. Friends and money don't mix. It may be awkward between you two now that you didn't give her the money but think of how awkward it would've been if you did give her the money. The debt would be on both of your minds every time you saw her. You and Jeana are my favorite women on the show and I hope that you two can get past this, it's a tough situation. I also thought you did a great job as referee in the Tamra/Gretchen fight at Lynne's cuff party.

Vicki, skydiving can be addictive. Don't be surprised if you find youself wanting to do it again and again :)
As for the dinner party, I get what you're saying and I'm sure it was uncomfortable. I know Tamra is your friend, so it's hard not to get involved, but jumping into her arguments with Gretchen makes you look like a bully. It looked really bad on the reunion show. Tamra's an adult and she started most of this drama with Gretchen so let her deal with it.
I agree with you that money/business and friends really don't mix. Ultimately, someone ends up getting their feelings hurt. So, I get why you changed real estate agents. As far as lending Jeanna money, you have to make the right choice for you and Don. But did you really have to put her on blast in you blog? Ouch.

Hi Vicki,

I feel that you did what you had to do when it came to Jeana. I have helped friends over the years and regretted it because they did not try to pick themselves up and dust themselves off and make changes where it was needed until they got back on their feet. I have learned my lesson.
I saw in the first episode that her son was reminding her of her situation and overspending on lunch during her crisis was not an option.
It is good to see you and Donn closer this time. I am glad that you hung in there.

Vicki,
I have a tremendous amount of respect for you and what you have WORKED HARD to create for yourself and your family. It is sad though, that you have lost some of your likeability. Maybe there is more to the story with Jeana, and you certainly don't have to lend her money. It does seem like you threw her under the bus by telling the world that, just to make you look better than her. She will come through her troubles and realize what kind of friend you are. sad. Continue success to you though - I love a hard working girl!

Vicki..I saw the previews for next week. If your daughter has thyroid cancer, she will be just fine..I am a 3 year survivor and was diagnosed at 35...It's scary but she will be fine..

If Jenna is really your friend and she needs financial help just give the money to her. Do not loan money, but give it freely. That is what friends do. It is very freeing, giving, and shows compassion to a friend in need. That friend will be forever grateful.

If I had the money to loan a close friend that was newly divorced and hurting in this financial crisis I would. Actually, I'd just give her the money and be happy that I could help. Money only comes between friends and family when it means more than friends and family.

Vicki - I hope you and Donn work out your problems. To be honest, I sometimes felt that you didn't deserve him because you can be so critical and hard on him and your family. I wish you would just relax and back off your husband and kids. I have critical parents and while I am a successful woman, I could have done without the constant nagging and pushing to be a "better" person.

I agree it's hard to lend friends money, but it seems that Jeana needed your help. Again, I hope the two of you work it out, but you can be so critical and hard on people. Perhaps, the two of you need to go your separate ways.

Good luck with everything. I hope to see your softer side this season.

Wow Vicki when I first started watching the show back in Season 1 you and Jeana were my favorite housewives because of the friendship that you shared. I totally understand not wanting to loan her money but to broadcast that on national television thats low and I would have never thought that of you. For you to say that you wanted to leave when the fight started between Tamra and Gretchen was very funny as you basically started the whole thing by forcing them to talk!! I'm not sure I will continue to watch any longer.

Vicki , I love you! Your a strong, self sufficient woman and you got morals! I agree...never lend money to friends! Thats a sure wasy of ending the friendship right there! You look great too!

I don't blame you one bit for not loaning Jeana money. It's nice to see you and Don get along. I have always wanted to tell you , I think you Mom is not very nice to you. If you were my daughter, I would be very proud of you Vicki!
HOPE YOUR READ THIS VICKI

Vicki I was happy to hear that you and Don are working on your marriage good luck!You and Tammra are the show!And as far as all the negative comments those people need to jump out of a plane without a parachute!!!!!lol

Jeana my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I started watching the show because of you. I am a Re/Max agent in the metro Phoenix area and felt a real conection with you. The Phoenix market is no better than the one you are dealing with so I certainly know what you are talking about when you said your income was so drastically cut. My best to your family. Perhaps our paths may cross at a real estate function. Until then - God Bless.

Vicki I don't know what all these people are complaining about.. I liked you much more in this episode, and especially in this blog, than in previous seasons! I'm glad you kind of stuck up for Gretchen -- Tamra is like some psycho always judging what Gretchen's doing. I thought it was nice of you to say she looks gorgeous at Lynn's house. And you too, by the way; you look so happy and healthy. I'm so glad you and Don are working things out -- he's always seemed like a great, funny, good man to be attached to in life. I'm happy for you! Keep up the positivity and your humor.

GOOD CHOICE keeping buisness & friendship separate! I remember watching the episode(s) where she was your realitor, the entire time saying to myself 'I just know this is going to end badly'. I've always heard "When you loan money to a friend, you might as well just write it off as a gift." Good & smart choice.

Also glad to see things with you & Donn going better, keep up the good work 'both' of you :)

Vicki...I would remember what goes around comes around.

Wow! I hear that Jeanna will be leaving the show. I am sorry to hear that, it really should be you and Tamra. You both are evil. You talk a good talk about what a great person you are but your true self shines through. You two start the drama with the other ladies and when they come back at you, you act like you can't believe that they have the nerve to say these things to you. What a joke. I truly enjoy watching Jenna, Lynne and Gretchen, and wish them much success, you and Tamra we just watch to see how stupid you are going to make yourself look. Maybe that's why you two like yourself so much, cause you know that no-one else does.

I like the show i defenetly agree with what u do cuz ur just like my mom same attitude a drive.

Nice to see you and Don are on the right track.

You and Jeana need to mend fences. You have been friends a lot longer than any of the other ladies. Don't let another day go by without repairing your friendship.

I am still sick to death of your behavior when it comes to Tamara and Gretchen. I don't understand why you and Tamara feel the need to attack Gretchen. Leave her alone. You are acting like high schoolers when you are grown women. I am sure you have better things to do with your time than catty behavior.

Vicki,

Don't know the whole story about why Jeana came to you for money but I think you did the right thing to not give her any! If she had sold some clothes, jewelry, furniture or one of her cars or something and she STILL needed money, I could see maybe giving her some but it looked like she hadn't sacrificed or given anything up - hard to pity someone who spends $200.00 on lunch when they know they don't have the money.

Hmmmm,I can tell you that I am a mortgage banker and I do business with many of my friends. I would think it is very very wrong of you to pull your listing away from Jeanna, if anything, I am sure she put more pressure on herself to close on your home. The market sucks, in California, it is the worst in the entire country right next to Florida. I close loans in 50 states and I am very aware of what is happening. I also dont think it is very nice of you to air her asking you for money, you said, no, that was it. I am sure she felt just as bad asking you for it as you did saying no. I really dont think a true friend would go and tell 10 million viewers about their friends hardship.

Vicky, you are right to separate business and friendship. Look at the trouble it has already caused. And....be nice to the new girl....

Everyone makes these hate comments but this is why we all watch it. For the drama!!! Duh People. We all love it. Keep the drama going girls. We eat it up or we wouldnt be posting.

Vicki

I can't believed you told everyone that Jeana, your friend - asked if you could lend her money. I don't blame you for saying no, but this should have been kept between the two of you, not put out there for everyone to know.

I also can't believe you said Jeana was toxic. Jeana was always there for you and I can't beleive you turned on her like that. Maybe you should have offered her some support and helped in other ways.

Seeing these comments really disappointed me and made you look really harsh. I hope things have changed and you and Jeana are friends again.

Hi Vicki, so glad to see you back for another season and I'm glad to see you and Don are getting along much better. I hope you keep working at it with him. you have a great husband there and remember the old saying "don't know what you got till it's gone" He's cute and charming which makes him a keeper, I'm sure there are a lot of women out there that would snap him up in a heartbeat! Pay more attention to him and less attention to work sometimes. Remember work can't fill your love tank....LOL

Dear Vicky, I'm glad to hear you and Donn didn't separate.
It's admirable that the two of you worked things out. Marriage is give and take and sometimes you take each other for granted. We often treat strangers better than we do our love ones. WooHoo to both of you!

Dear Vicky, You owe no one any apogies for not lending Jeana any money. You are successful because you know how to work hard and manage your money wisly. Even Jeana's son is coaching her to spend less money.
I've loan money to friends and relatives who in return have been ungrateful. You did right!
