the coto de caza home
Say what you will about “Family VAANN” Vicki Gunvalson, she is always 100% Vicki.
Sure, she lies about her income and how hard she works, but that seems to be quite normal for most Americans. You have to admire the fact that she understands the need for meaningful work.
Vicki doesn't do well outside of her little circle of white, American, straight, Orange Bubble people. The same with growing up in Cary, IL, a small. mostly rural village many miles from Chicago. Vicki has a tunnel vision that doesn’t let her see past herself; if it has no direct effect on Vicki Gunvalson, it doesn’t matter to her. I’m sure she’d attend an HOA meeting if they spoke of raising the fees, but I doubt she votes in national elections. But, being Vicki, she can express outrage about how the country is run (Can you imagine what she says behind closed doors?) I’m sure it get much worse than “don’t scratchy the woody” She's always inadvertently insulting people with her ignorance. She seems to be taking out her hurt and anger about Briana Wolfsmith ‘s move on the entire state of Oklahoma, which is always in the news, not a “forgotten state” as Vicki claims. Vicki doesn’t watch the news….no “direct effect”.
vicki, back in the day
Mexico, Mexican people have no direct effect on Vicki, they are not people to her. And they tolerate the “Ugly American” very well. Feng Shui is only for Asians, and Caucasians. You don’t look gay? Interesting that Andy Cohen only called her out on the gay comments. Of course, Vicki made it worse by saying Andy was “all boy”. Now that’s a good one, LOL.
That’s our Vicki.
With the Season 3 addition of Tamra Barney to the cast, the “mean girl” in Vicki came out.
That was also the season Vicki and Donn decided to downsize to a smaller house, then Vicki, imagining a direct effect this move would have on her image as a “wealthy land baroness” ,changed her mind, and blamed Jeana Keough for selling her the house! Reality TV gold, that Vicki.
Vicki's "Olive Garden on the Green"
With the introduction of Gretchen Rossi in Season 4, with all her lies and subterfuges, Vicki, played wingman to Tamra Barney’s hatred, the same hatred, by the way, that we see on Tamra’s face when she looks at Lizzie Rovsek.
Too bad Bravo never re-runs Season 4. Vicki takes her mother, an irascible old bitch, and Briana to Italy.
Vicki Gunvalson, the Ugly American
But the saddest move Vicki ever made was hooking up with Brooks Ayers, a light-weight con artist from Mississippi who had watched Vicki on the show
Enter Season 8, when Lauri Waring Peterson rears her sizeable head, returning as a “friend”. That’s when all the old backstories that made this franchise so interesting also returned:
The Letter Sent To Vicki Gunvalson (EXCLUSIVE)
Leaving Vicki in such a rage that she damn near caused an avalanche while filming in Canada.
While all these shenanigans are going on, Donn and Vicki settle their divorce, with Vicki writing Donn a $95,000 check because she took money from an account fraudulently, according to RadarOnline
The Court Documents
Vicki is selling that white elephant of a home of hers, says she’s moving to Dana Point. That move will mark the end of the Coto de Caza housewives. The creator of the series, Scott Dunlop, continues to live there. So much for “behind the gates’.
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 9 Reunion episode airs Monday, September 1 on Bravo TV.
