Anyone missing Gretchie poo & Slade & their non-stop bullshit?  Well, here they are.  But just in case you've forgotten, before you watch this, you must put on your hip boots to wade thru all the bullshit they're both flinging around.  Gretchie poo still insists she left the show on her own accord cuz the other women were "too toxic" toward her.  Oh yeah, sure Gretch, sure.

Gretchen was another interesting case. She won in the Gretchen V Tamara debate just by the sheer crazy of Tamara's vendetta. I mean seriously! Tamara was like a dog with a bone. She was not going to rest until she proved that Gretchen wasn't Jeff's real girlfriend and she was just there for the money. Which, duh Tamara. We all knew that. I always assumed Gretchen was sort of "dating" (I think Gretchen was call girl, but that's just me) Jeff and when he was diagnosed he struck a deal with Gretchen where she would give him the girlfriend experience with a healthy dose of home aid worker and he would provide for her in his will. I don't for 1 minute believe either thought they were in love. It was an arrangement. Scummy? Sure. But so completely obvious that Tamara made herself look like a nut case trying to prove it.

But I think Gretchen let the public's "no kidding" response to Tamara's vendetta coupled with the well deserved outrage over "naked wasted" go to her head and thought people actually liked her! Um, no. You're only likable as compared to Tamara. So is Hitler. It's no big accomplishment. I think she thought she could ride that into her nonsensical issues with Alexis and her gross relationship with Slade. She honestly seemed perplexed she wasn't getting the same support.

I think so.  OMG, I hate how they're both still vigorously denying Slade was a deadbeat dad.  Their BS always annoyed me & it still does.  They say on that vid, Bravo was paying Slade's child support.  Well, sure they were -- they probably had to cuz it was being garnished.  Those 2 will never change.  It's just bullshit, bullshit & more bullshit.  It seems like they've finished with Marriage Bootcamp.  I wonder what they'll do next.  Er, maybe get actual jobs?  Ya think???  Nah.  No way.  Not them.

Looking forward to her next wedding, no matter who she weds.  Hopefully it will be just as classy as her first:

January 03, 2004

ROSSI

Gretchen Forward of Montrose and Christopher Rossi of New York

City were married at Laguna Cliffs in Dana Point. Pastor Keith Davis

officiated.

The bride and groom had their dog, Kahlua, walk down the aisle

with the wedding bands to the song "Who Let the Dogs Out."

Whoever she marries, it sure ain't gonna be Slade.  She needs to find herself another rich sick dying old man to leave her millions.  Cuz if they don't get another reality gig quick, they is in big ass trouble.


I foresee Gretch losing her cluttered dump & moving in with her parents.  And Slade?  Well, he's too old to be turning tricks on rentboy.  He already looks like a homeless man.  I could see him begging for spare change along an OC highway.

Toxic = "all those other bitches called us out on our fake-assed storylines and the fans could SMELL the desperation emanating from our pores."

 

Anybody catch that last episode of Marriage Bootcamp?  If I didn't loathe this haughty bitch before, I certainly do now.  What a piece of work.  I now might even officially despise her more than Slade, and I never thought THAT would happen.

Shouldn't this be moved to the Ghost's of Housewives Past since both of them are thankfully not on the show anymore?

We need to make sure not to do anything to encourage TPTB to bring them back.

 

 

While I'm in total agreement with you -- we definitely don't want to encourage producers to bring these 2 idiot lying assholes back, they do deserve a thread unto themselves.  Not because they're interesting.  They aren't.  But they do manage to inspire so much hatred for their vileness.  And now that Marriage Bootcamp has finished, I'd like to see what's gonna become of these 2 con artists.

 

I bet the producers did ask Gretch to make a quick guest appearance.  But ya gotta weed thru her bullshit to get at the truth of what really happened.  Maybe they didn't ask Slade & she wanted to bring him on & they refused.  Who knows why she didn't do it.

One interesting tidbit from the Gretch/Slade interview was her mention of Slade's Bravo compensation going directly to his son (either by choice or by garnishment, she didn't say).  So anyone who appears on the show receives some kind of compensation -- including both Ryans, Vicki's brother, and Lydia's pot smoking mother.

 

I wonder if they all get residuals when the shows are shown overseas or repeated in the U.S.  I'm guessing they do get something.

I wandered over to WETV to see if I could find the final episode with Gretchen and Slade. There is 6 episodes with G&S on season one but the site is featuring season 2. It confused me because I thought G&S were on the current season 2. Anyway, I don't care enough to search further...

 

edit to add: I just figured it out their season is called Marriage Bootcamp, Reality Stars.

Wasn't there a rumor a while back (possibly leaked by them) that a sex tape of Gretchen and Slade will be leaked?

Talk about disgusting.

Leaked? hahahahaha They could "pour" that shit out in a gushing river in front of me and I would NOT look, lmao. Gross. What DID happen in the last epi of MBC? I could not bear watching TAnisha manhandle Clive so I had to bow out :)

bwahhhh! I've have never even seen the Gretchen sitting on the toilet pics posted on the internet for free and I sure as hell won't be seeking out a sex tape out with those two.

  • Love 1

I did. They were linked on the old site and I think posted on Dlisted or some gossip site too. I think Vicky or Tamra mentioned them on the show as well. LOL. What an idiot! Who told her posting porny pic on her on a toilet and another holding a vibrator awkwardly is sexy?

She looks like a wax figure of Michael Jackson in a blond wig now with how frozen, taunt, treaked, and vacant her face is (granted her body is great) and Slade looks like a derelict. Can't you picture him shoplifting from a Goodwill store then jacking off in the alley.

As the late Greg Geraldo said they have "as much sex appeal as a school bus fire."

  • Love 2

One of the things that trips me out about Slade is that his original douche bag trip was that Joe didn't want to stay home and raise his kids for him (you know how Masters of the Universe needs a sweet young thing at home cooking the meals and tending to the kids you had with other women) and he ends up with Gretchen! I mean, what the fuck is that? She doesn't exactly scream Mommy and seemed to barely even know his kids.

  • Love 1

Well, color me tickled pink.  Gretchen FINALLY responds to posts on her Facebook page and, boy, is it worth the wait for this poster.  

 

Her original post:  

 

 

No better feeling than being madly in love and happy. I feel so very blessed to have this amazing man in my life that loves me like I've never been loved before. He is my rock, my support and my best friend. I thank God every day for him. I love you @sladesmiley (pic from my friends 10yr anniversary party last night) #soblessed #sohappy #truelove #amazingman #myeverything #gretchenrossi

 

After a barrage of not very fan-like comments, here's her retort:

 

 

Facebook people and comments are sooo negative compared to my twitter and Instagram. hey I got an idea, if you hate me that much click the "unlike" button!!!

 

And as if I weren't feeling a little snuggle from baby jeebus, THIS little gem comes in later in the thread:

 

 

What about Jeff ? You never been loved like this before ? You just wrote a post about how sad you were because he has passed away on this day and he was the love of your life bla bla bla

 

To which Gretchen apparently put on her Gretchen Christine Smart Glasses (TWOP posters will remember that gem) and retorted with sheer brilliance:

 

 

I mean are u serious?

 

Seriously, fellow PTV'ers, if you're bored on this lovely Sunday afternoon/evening and need some mindless giggles, check the thread and the posts out for yourself.  Too many great ones to capture here in this post.

I'm not really following these two, but why aren't they married yet? Is it that Slade just isn't into Gretchen the way he was Jo? Since they're no longer on the show, I'm assuming that it wasn't just a showmance.

 

Call me old-fashioned, but I tend to think that if an engagement goes on for years without a wedding date set, there's usually a reason beyond "we just want to enjoy being engaged."

Agreed.  It's right up there with the "we REALLY want to get married but we're both just SOOOOOOOOOO busy we can't find the time."

 

Oh, fuck that...if you REALLY want to get married, it can be thrown together in a matter of a few days with close friends and family on an available afternoon.  If you REALLY want to get married and don't just want a big extravaganza, you could even go to City Hall and do the deed in less than an hour.  I'm hard-pressed to believe anyone is so busy 24/7 that they couldn't squeeze an hour in if they REALLY want to get married.  

 

Not unless, in the case of Gretchen and Slade, they're holding out to get the entire spectacle totally comped by some reality show network....which I strongly suspect is what they're up to.  

 

These two are desperately trying to stay relevant and are trying to land any and every reality show gig they can.  

 

I don't think they live outlandishly and Gretchen apparently does make some public appearances, but I have to wonder just how long their finances are going to hold out.  Personally, if this relationship is now just a schtick and "showmance," I think Gretchen would fare far better by kicking Slade's ass to the curb.  Hell, Andy would probably even take her back on RHOC if she had an entirely new real storyline and not just rehashing the great marital debate with Slade every season.

 

I kind of doubt she'll ever kick him to the curb, though.  They seem to be completely and totally cut from the same famewhoring cloth.

They'll only get married if they can make money off of it that they would keep instead of paying child support.

 

After rewatching her first two seasons I can see why Gretchen was treated the way she was by the other women. She was a complete fake. All that crying and wailing about how she was sacrificing her youth to be by Jeff's bedside 24/7 was so insulting. They tried to subtly call her out when she was bragging about all the sex she was having. They asked, how can you be having sex when Jeff is in ICU? She had to make up some lame excuse for the camera.

 

Gretchen and Jeanna have lunch and Gretchen brags about how she's laid down the law. One of Jeff's ex wives visited him in the hospital. Gretchen doesn't like it. The ex wife was told by the teenage son that Jeff was alone most of the time in the hospital so that's why she was visiting. Gretchen admitted to telling Jeff that if the ex wife came to visit, then Gretchen would not. He needed to chose. Like, the man is dying, can he have as many visitors as he wants? It shouldn't have been about what Gretchen wanted.

 

Yes, there is a degree of fakeness but Gretchen casting herself as a devoted fiancée of the love of her life so she could be a fan favorite was nauseating. Ugh. So happy this fraud is off the show.

There was a lot of rumor-mongering going on when she joined up, too.  I believe the guy she was apparently really dating at the time, Jay Photoglu or something like that, maintained Gretchen and Jeff were never engaged or anything even remotely close, and Gretchen acted as his caretaker and he agreed to go along with it for the show for Gretchen's sake and they had some sort of "arrangement" (still would love to know how much money she really got out of Jeff's life insurance policy).

 

I loathe Tamra with the fire of a thousand suns, but damn did she call Gretchen out about Photoglu at the reunion.  I think he's the one who spilled the beans about the real arrangement between Jeff and Gretchen and Tamra being Tamra ran with it.

 

There was also a picture of Gretchen with somebody (Photoglu?) and Alexis and Jim on a yacht canoodling....before Alexis was ever even cast on RHOC.

 

I always thought Alexis knew a lot more about Gretchen's personal life and arrangement with Jeff than she ever put on blast.  I would think taking that yacht trip together as a foursome indicates a pretty solid friendship between Alexis and Gretchen long before Alexis was even a glimmer in Bravo's eye.

For me, I think Tamra would have been better off keeping her mouth closed. Photoglu was already online publishing stuff about Gretchen. The audience was smart enough to figure out that she wasn't what she appeared to be. Tamra going after Gretchen the way she did, only made her look like a jealous and spiteful person. So, her attack on Gretchen actually garnered Gretchen supporters because they felt bad for her. If she had simply let Gretchen lie herself into a corner, it would have been the fans of the show calling her out constantly and she may have even been fired earlier than she was for creating fake story lines.

I agree that Tamra went overboard as usual. I'm not sure about Bravo. They had footage of them together at Bass Lake and never used it. Never even hinted at it. She had his name tattooed on her ring finger.

 

I can only imagine the utter frustration as the rest of the cast saw the episodes which portrayed her as a Sainted Blonde Angel.

I agree. It must have been frustrating. The problem with Tamra and her scorched earth policy is that it not only makes her look bad, it's insulting to the viewers. Before Tamra went after Gretchen, I know of many viewers who thought of Gretchen as a complete phony. But, once Tamra told everyone that she was in contact with the Photoglu guy, all they could see was just how jealous Tamra was. 

 

I can't tell you how many times, my friends or even the comments I read on different sites were saying things like "If Jeff and Gretchen have an arrangement, it isn't Tamra's business to involve herself." My personal favorite was "Jeff has like 5 ex wives, he knows what Gretchen is about and still chose to do this." Tamra completely undid her own plan by going so hard on Gretchen. Instead of garnering outrage, she garnered fans for Gretchen. And the fact that Tamra kept harping on it even after Jeff had died did her absolutely no favors.

Well, in my humble opinion, Tamra lost the moral high ground during the "Naked Wasted" episode.

I don't think it was a good idea for Tamra to try and police the sexuality and romantic relationships of the person she previously attempted to sexually assault by proxy. The proxy being Tamra's son.

The effort Tamra exerted to claim the moral high ground after that gambit only made her a much easier target due to all of the heavy, and undeserved back lighting she shined upon herself.

Whether one likes Gretchen or not (I don't much care for her), she did not deserve an attempted sexual assault, nor did she deserve to have that incident become entertainment fodder. No one does.

I agree with both of you.

 

I believe Tamra said the reason for getting Gretchen "naked wasted" was to show "people" (the audience, presumably) how Gretchen really acted out in public instead of the image she was portraying (again, presumably for the viewers).

 

What she neglected to mention was that her rat-faced son was apparently given carte blanche to try to force himself on a completely obliterated Gretchen.  

 

I'll say one thing for Gretchen.  As drunk as she was, she still had the sense to rebuff that perverted creeper's advances.  

 

I was absolutely appalled when Tamra and Simon refused to let Lynn or anyone else take Gretchen home, too.  In fact, I always wondered if Simon and Tamra had a little a 3-way action in the backs of their minds for later that night but it didn't work out that way.  

 

The entire situation was creepy.  Like, skin-crawling creepy.  Ugh.

To all the people who are distraught over the absences of Gretchen and Slade from yo tee-vees, this is for you. They are apparently filming something super uber secret.

Gretchen used to have a booth at one of the local swap meets here in Orange County...selling her crap. Not sure if she's still doing that. But really, when you're doing well in life why not sell crap at a swap meet?

So he must have had his vasectomy reversed (unless they're lying liars).  Why wasn't that a Bravo special?

 

Because they apparently sold their bullshit to CBS and "The Doctors."

I can't see how they're making much money from this.  I am surprised they got an ep of The Doctors, but that's about the extent of their coverage -- except for OK Magazine & the few shitty media sites which still follow them.  

 

Reminds me of how I can't think of 2 people who should not have a child more than Gretchie poo & Slade.  Will Slade's financial position ever change?  Wonder if he supports his sick son now that he doesn't have any Bravo cash coming in.  And is Gretchie still living off Jeff's insurance dough?  Why can't these 2 just get jobs, instead of living as con artists?  Gretchen seems much more interested in maintaining her hair than in anything concerning children.  Why is she still playing out this ridiculous nonsense?
