On Tuesday night, Vicki Gunvalson from Bravo's hit reality show, The Real Housewives of Orange County, stepped into the studio (seconds after her quick conference call) and took part in the Tuesday night edition of CU@USC!
Vicki and I on the set of the show...WOOHOO!
She was fabulous to talk with and to be quite honest, I truly sensed a positive vibe from the woman! The other housewives always seem to be so irritated by Vicki's mention of "work ethic" and when I mentioned season 6, it seems as though Vicki's zest for the show has begun to burn. I got the idea that Vicki MIGHT not return to the show, or maybe there won't be a season 6 at all, hmm...
What's great about Vicki's role on the show is that she's the only original cast member left. One of my first questions I asked was about why she was still on the show surrounding herself by these women who she gets highly irritated by?! She explained how she doesn't have a choice when it comes to picking the new ladies and it's completely out of her hands. She has to take what she gets. Well that's definitely not reality but like any "reality" show today, it's clearly not reality and I thank Vicki for explaining that in her own words.
Now wait a minute...no one is FORCING Mrs. Vicki to continue to be a housewife on the show, so why is she sticking around if she claims to not like arguing and doesn't like ugly behavior? Well maybe this is it... Vicki considers herself to be the "momma" of the show and wants to hold a role for as long as she can handle one. Not only that, but the show also helps to publicize her COTO Insurance and University. The show is a huge help in generating in cliental and advertising the best of all three of her worlds....work, family and friends. I would probably stick around if I was in her heels too!
Vicki also mentioned her desire to want her own show! Hmmm...how many of you would watch Vicki if she landed her own show? Maybe the show can be called, "More Than a Housewife" just like her book!
Speaking of the book, the title sort of fits her persona on the show as she always talks about her strong work ethic and her willingness to work hard in order to afford the finer things in life...unlike the other ladies. Being more than a housewife says to the other ladies that she's much more than just fake boobs and nice things in life, she works too - OUCH!
I didn't get the chance to ask Vicki about Lynne's statement on the show, when her and the girls were at Alexis' house for the cooking party and Lynne said something along the lines of..." it's freakin hard living in Orange County!" How many of you think this is a ridiculous statement? Do any of you agree? What is it about Orange County that is so...hard?!
Well maybe I'll tweet Vicki and ask, I'll have to get back to you on that one. In the meantime, you can check out Vicki's book here: http://morethanahousewifebook.com/
You can order your copy NOW or check out where she'll be signing books next!
P.S. Vicki couldn't make the show a few weeks back due to the harsh weather and stiff traffic, but this time she was super early! We had Vicki on the calendar for a pre tape since she had to travel from a distance, but since she walked through those doors before 6:00pm we were going live at 6:30! I got the call to come in early, so I hopped in the shower, got dressed and rushed to the studio to do the live show.
I learned this week to BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING and be ready to go live at any time, gahhh I LOVE IT :)
Thanks for reading, until next time...
FIGHT ON!
