It was a pretty boring episode of Real Housewives of Orange County . There was no Vicki, so there was no fun. Other than a Shannon and Meghan feud that's just starting to brew, all of the women got along in Napa. And while I should be happy that seven adult women were able to go one night without fighting, I'm not happy. We need the drama! Instead of the drama, there was just a lot of happy "champs" filled housewives... Which turns out to be quite enjoyable. But let's not make this "no drama" thing a habit, ladies.
When the entire group of women gets together for an event that is important to one of the Housewives, it seems to attract drama. I think the more important the event is, the more drama occurs. So when Heather announces she is having the entire cast up to Napa for her method champenoise party — aka champagne that's not champagne — I thought, Oh, this is going to be bad. Why did I think that? Because this is clearly uber-important to Heather, and that means that something terribly dramatic is going to happen.
But it didn't. At least it didn't in the first part of the Napa trip. At Heather's "Collette" party all of the women got along. I know, you probably think you read that wrong, but you didn't. All of the women (minus Vicki, who was accepting an award for her career) actually had a good, drunken time at the party. Even those you thought would never coexist (Shannon and Tamra) coexisted. They coexisted so well that Shannon pulled toilet paper out of Tamra's butt.
Did I mention this was a champagne party?
Anyway, it was kind of nice to see the women get along for one night. It was also really fun to watch Heather shine like the star she is in Napa. Consider it a life goal to saber champagne like Heather did. Flawless.
Of course, things will go south soon. They always do. But for now, let us all enjoy this one day that the Real Housewives actually had a peaceful party. It's going down in the record books. (Side note: look up if this party took place when Mercury was in retrograde.)
