The 5 Most Horrifying Real Housewives of OC Reunion Moments So the Crippling Insecurity Summit aired last night, and it was slightly more horrifying than even I expected. Tamra in particular was in rare form, wasn't she? Anyway, the crispy hair, crispier skin and even emptier lives were on parade for all to mock on the RHOC reunion, and while they may not have actually gotten up to smack each other like the Atlanta girls did (and then chicken out, unfortunately), the allegations were much more plentiful and hardly any of them made any sense. So I guess it's a draw. Either way, can we put Tamra in jail already?

1. Gretchen, sporting a completely straight face, insists they all dress classy.
I should really have learned by now, but the astounding lack of self-awareness these women suffer from still blows me away every time. As the OC cast sees it, maybe thousands of viewers wrote in to say that when one is over forty (and yes, I know Gretchen is only 30), maybe you don't run around in a shirt that is basically a scarf with a fake jewel clasp under your pronounced cleavage and call it an appropriate look, but whatever, they're wrong. They're all classy. Even Tamra. You know, say what you want about NeNe and the other Atlanta women -- at least NeNe knows her rack is flapping in the wind.

2. Lynne breaks down.
All the other girls (with the exception of Gretchen, I think, who actually seems like a nice person) have made it very clear that they think Lynne is stupid and that they are not like her because they are very smart. So, again with the lack of self-awareness. Be that as it may, my god, women -- you're on television! Hold back a little! After addressing a clip package in which Vicki and Tamra rip on Lynne's intellect repeatedly during the season, Lynne was like, "Yeah, that really, really hurt my feelings. But they're stupid too! Anyway, let's move on!" Fair enough. But later, during a completely unrelated segment Jeana referred to having a "Lynne moment" during a time she did some dumb ass thing or another (as she frequently does), and Lynne broke down like the only third grader not invited to the cool kid's equestrian racing party table. And Jeana's supposed to be the nice one.

Also, this is neither here nor there, but I cannot express to you how much I would never allow any of these women to reduce me to tears. Ever.

3. Lauri shows up, and is quickly put in her place by Andy Cohen.
Lauri: "Josh is doing well."
Andy Cohen: "Are you retarded? I thought he was in jail!" (Paraphrasing.)

4. The horrifying lack of Vicki ridiculousness.
Since when does Vicki let Tamra do all the talking? She stayed out of almost everything and let Tamra dominate the entire show, only chiming in a few times, usually to join in with Tamra on something defensive. I mean, she only criticized Lynne's parenting like once. What show is this?!

5. So now Gretchen's a con artist, Tamra? Really? Really?!
I don't mean to imply she's not a gold digger -- of course she is. But I don't really consider gold digging a con in most cases, including this one, because both parties usually know what's going on. I'm referring to how Tamra was like, "this guy was calling me, and saying how he'd out you to the world, and you guys are in a secret relationship, and Jeff didn't know, and then you guys took Jeff for a ride, and basically you're Sawyer from Lost, but far more threatening to me because you're a younger, richer, more beautiful woman and all I have is my wealth and looks, so when you're around I have nothing, so I have to make up totally insane things to compensate, etc." (Again, paraphrasing.)

It was nuts. Gretchen's just your average gold digger, Tamra. If she was cheating on Jeff, it was just an amateur move on her part, not a two-man con job. What would the other guy's purpose even serve in the con? It just doesn't make sense, and it makes Tamra look so jealous and pathetic. Worse than usual, I mean.

Your favorite moments from the night? Spill below.

I was appalled by Tamra. She clearly decided that her gold digging was more important that Gretchen's. Her moral were better than Gretchens. Her trying to make Gretchen do stupid things was only because she, herself, was so wasted she couldn't stand up, yet we never saw any of that. No one is buying what you are selling. Gretchen could have married Jeff and bought and sold Tamra, I wish she had. I hope to God Gretchen and Lynne stay far away from this show, they are too dam good for it.

Tamra is vile. She really out-did herself this time, and that's saying something. What she fails to realize is that with all of hatred and condemning Gretchen, she only made herself look worse. I thought at one point her head was going to spin and she would start spewing pea soup. I'm surprised that Gretchen didn't ask if there was an exorcist in the house. She and Vicki deserve each other.

It was a trainwreck last night. I think all the women are pretty awful. Gretchen seems to be getting more sympathy than she deserves. She pranced around showing off all the stuff Jeff bought her all season. That is all she did. Don't tell me their relationship was anything more than a business deal.

OMG Tamra is SO GROSS!!! How can she be so worried about morals when she dress's like a hooker, buys porn and cock rings, and cant even hold a fork right. Not to mention says homophobic comments to people. She needs to POP HER BOOBS, finish her etiquette class, and get a hot oil treatment for that fried hair of hers. I am so over her and her STUPID PINK HARLEY crap. I mean she doesnt even have one for cryin out loud!!! Tamra cant you just go away, go jump off an OC cliff you piece of crap!!!

And take that HYPOCRITE Vicki with you. In fact take her to the dermatologist cause her skank face is breaking my tv. How can she complain about Lynne and her kids under age drinking when she delivers a case of beer to her underage son at college? These 2 hags are jealous that Gretchen is the new hot chick, and they are old, wrinkled, and fat!!! So get over yourselves already morons!!

I agree with how awful Tamra was and how blindingly clear her jealousy of Gretchen came through. I know Gretchen is a "gold digger" but you have to give her props for sticking by Jeff through his illness and not trying to get married in a hospital room to seal the deal. She did provide a lot of support for him so if he gave her money or things to compensate, kudos to both of them. And his kids seemed to genuinely like her; they wouldn't if they knew there were shady things happening. Finally, can we all give major props to Gretchen for being calm and mature in the face of Tamra's ranting? She handled herself quite well and I was surprised. Yes, she's vacuous and an afore-mentioned "gold digger" but she is pretty genuine and sweet.

Gretchen is only guilty of being drop dead gorgeous with the hottest body.

Tamra is broke (losing her house), has a husband who cheats on her, has a loser uneducated son just like her. Her life sucks big time.

Gretchen has her own money, her own beautiful home and can have any man she wants.

Gretchen makes the show interesting. Tamra and Vicki are old, fat, freckly hags who are boring.

The reason why Gretchen was completely cool and composed on the reunion show is because Tamra was spewing her usual lies.

Tamra is a fugly, disgusting piece of garbage.....a major boner shrinker. No wonder Simon chases other women.
