Real Housewives of OC – 10/23/25 – mUsHrooMs and Tulips

Day 2 in Amsterdam.

I am sure the Germans are so happy the Housewives have infiltrated their town.

I appreciate the OC ladies don’t bring glam on trips.

Of all of the franchises you would think the Southern Californians would be dragging glam with them everywhere.

Heather is shocking to me being so into the plant.

Of all Housewives Heather Posh DuBrow?? I would think she would consider it so gauche and beneath her.

She loves dragging Cali Sober Gina along for the ride. They indulge in some fancy truffle ‘shrooms.

Tamtrums, Tacos and Gina accuse Gretchen of being a ‘lurker’ in the group wanting to be present but not interact.

I feel like Gretchers gets in her moods where she wants to act like all fucking sanctimonious and virtuous for some reason.

I would say she’s just here for the paycheck. She has two kids to support.

This tulip garden is stunning.

Gina and Heather start feeling the effects.

So just when we thought we wouldn’t have to endure Jackass and Alexis this season, no, it’s a whole thing about whether or not Jenn s allowed to attend the wedding, since she’s friends with Shannon.

As we often do, we get into semantics as to whether or not Shannon asked Jenn not to go, or if Shannon just expressed annoyance, so then Jenn felt the need to say she would decline.

I mean. What the fuck is the difference. Like what the fuck is the difference?

Gina claims she feels slighted because Shannon threw Jenn an engagement little soiree thing, but Gina didn’t have an ‘I’m still with Travis the grifter’ party. Okay Gina. Shut up. Just shut up.

We came all the way to fucking Amsterdam for this??

Gina in her loopy mushroom state brings up this fucking wedding and we NEED to know whether or not Shannon ASKED Jenn to not go or not. Like what precisely was said????

All of a fucking sudden they’re uber concerned about Jenn’s feelings, right?

Last season they all ganged up on her and mean-girled the shit out of her, called her all kind of horrible names, because she didn’t have money after she left her husband.

NOW they are very worried about whether or not she secretly wants to go to this fucking wedding, but is placating Shannon.

For some reason Jenn thinks she needs to be besties with fucking Alexis. Can you even fathom the two of them having a conversation?? I’m not which of them is dumber.

Now the shower gets addressed. Jenn did say it was a little much and she didn’t need it. She never said it was ridiculous as Gina claims, whose job it is to keep this lunch moving along and everyone pissed off.

Tacos is really getting worked up about Shannon’s and Jenn’s friendship not being genuine and Jenn possibly being taken advantage of.

Somebody get her a fucking taco. No they’re in Germany. How about a fucking sausage??

You know she’s cranked up when she’s got her chubby arm flailing around.

***You know I’m serious when the arm is going.***

Gretchen tries to give Jenn advice to monetize her social media platform and stop making it all about Ryan. Or something like that.

These hot tub boats are weird and definitely seem really tourist-y.

Jenn and Shannon bicker more over Alexis, and it’s putting me to sleep.

Tacos is pretending she really cares about trying to get Gretchers and Tamtrums to make up.

They do end up coming to some sort of truce.

Yay Tacos. You did something that wasn’t fucking bitchy and cunty for a change.

Tamtrums sees a headline about Jenn owing back rent on her yoga studio. She shows it to Jenn with her story that iHeart tells them what to discuss on their podcast. So since this is Housewife news, she will need go gossip about it on her stupid fucking podcast.

So four years since covid has been a thing, this landlord is just now wanting the back rent? That seems weird.

Gretchen pretends to cry in the van realizing she is doing petty shit to hurt Tamtrums. At least I think that’s what it was.

She continues this charade into when they’re leaving for dinner, so decides to come later.

Tamtrums is ‘bugged’ by Gretchen’s supposed emotional whatever and crying fit.

Gretch joins the group for dinner and is acting cryptic. She and Tamra exchange words and it gets dropped. I guess Gretchen is annoyed that she feels like she’s having to take all of the responsibility in their feud??

Next morning – Tacos and Gina discuss it, since they have none of their own shit to discuss.

Apparently oh my God – Gretchen ‘liked’ a post about Tamtrums that’s being described as ‘disturbing.’

Gina claims this is just BOTHERING HER SO MUCH, and MUST go to Heather about it.

She loves reporting shit to Heather for some reason. This is so last season, and three or four seasons ago.

‘I must inform Heather immediately.’
