First of all, that whole to be continued mess from the last uber exciting episode was a bust. We started where we left off at Tamra's party with miss Gretchen wasted off her butt. She and Ryan were in a bathroom (?) or something with the door closed. Gretchen is telling Ryan that he can't make out with her, but golly he is so cute. 1. No, he is not cute. Not at all. 2. I don't know if I believe that behind closed doors he wasn't being all grabby grabs. A few seconds later Ryan emerges looking sheepish - and that's it.
I am soooooo tired of Jeana talking about her ex-husband making her not want to exercise. For most people that would just be motivation to kick ass. And she's a rich real estate agent, she must have some sort of get up and go. So get up and go woman! After more complaints and inspiration from a trainer, Jeana has lunch with Gretchen. Sometimes I like Jeana, often I don't. She rarely says anything interesting and doesn't take into account other peoples' feelings (see Vicki and Frankie). Lunch is too boring to cover here.
Lynne makes bracelets! Or, rather, cuffs. You can see some of them in this article about her. Though you sadly can't see why I make fun of her boobs so often. And her hair usually doesn't look this shiny and nice. Anyway, as you can see some are cool and some look like I made them in a 7th grade art project. These puppies go for about $300-$500. We get to watch her struggle to make them in her kitchen. All the while she is explaining how hard she works. The others think that she isn't really working because she doesn't actually have a day job.
The girls go on a trip (minus Tamra) to Fred Segal in LA to have their own personal scents created. I'm not sure who comes up with these little activities (hat parties, etc.) but these ladies must not be working THAT hard if they have time to trudge around and waste all this time. While they're there, Gretchen notices some "toys," which are all fancy and expensive. They're also barely thicker than a pen, so I don't understand what makes that any fun. Prices vary depending on the design that's on them, which I think is just cosmetic. They looked sort of icky, and wouldn't the metal be cold?
After they all have their own special scent -it's lunch time! Now here's when the crazy emerges. Gretchen is talking about how she isn't working because taking care of Jeff is a full-time job!! She used to be a Realtor (no comment) but she isn't really doing that now. Vicki starts to explain that she has to make sure that she is taken care of after Jeff passes. And Gretchen says she doesn't know if she is. Now all of a sudden, Vicki and Gretchen are determined to explain to Gretchen how to make sure that she is in the will. They're giving her advice on how to ask, what to say, etc., and she is eating it up. Wait a second. I thought the reason they all made fun of Gretchen is because she is a golddigger, but now they're advising her on how to make sure she's getting the gold? What? Then poor little Lynne decides to butt in and express that it shouldn't matter if she gets the money, because Jeff could just get better, that should be the focus right now! The very notion of this makes Vicki's head spin. Apparently that just isn't practical. Vicki returns to explaining that it is important for Gretchen to be taken care of for all of her hard work. No one seems to think that Gretchen should just look for a job if something happens and she's not "taken care of." They also suggest perhaps they just get married before he croaks. Again, poor Lynne is so confused. She tries to speak up again about how the point is to make sure Jeff gets better. Jeana and Vicki are ready to rip her eyes out. When Lynne says money isn't important, Jeana replies with "Fine, give me yours and see how you do." Whoah!
This conversation goes on for about twenty minutes. It is so frustrating because it's horribly inappropriate and the girls are being extremely insensitive and hypocritical! How I wish Tamra had been there, she would've had the correct thing to say. Finally, Vicki has decided that Lynne is basically mentally challenged and rude. The conversation ends and now Vicki complains that her appetite is gone and the entire lunch is ruined. What? It's ridiculous. Gretchen is a hot momma who clearly has no problem making out with old ugly guys. If she doesn't get any dough from Jeff (which she probably will) then she can just move on to the next guy and make sure she's married before he gets sick. She's missed the boat with Jeff, it's too inappropriate now to even consider asking him if she's in the will. When would you EVER ask that? As hard-working women who earn their own money, I'm surprised that Jeana and Vicki wouldn't be encouraging Gretchen to start thinking of a career to pursue after Jeff passes. I'm not going to say that Lynne's hopes that love will conquer all and they should just wish that Jeff gets better is the right sentiment, but she sure didn't deserve the verbal abuse thrown at her. My advice? Get a damn job, Gretchen.
