I don't like Tamra. She appears to be a jealous insecure women. She hates on anyone that looks better than her. However I'm glad she got her roots done.

I agree. She seems very insecure and jelous. She hates Gretchen because she is a lot prettier, younger and free. Tamra seems to be having a hard time because her life style is not going to be the same. And of course, when you are 40 something and see the product of her motherhood (that looser, Ryan) you must wake up bitter and guilty. That guy is depressing to watch! I am glad all this shows are airing at this special time because not only are they entertaining, but also help parents to learn (from this housewive's incredible mistakes) what not to do with their kids: too much freedom, no morals, lack of skills and there you go, loosers like Ryan and mothers like Tamra. Very sad, but hopefully parents learn more and more to give their kids real lessons, responsabilities, rewards when needed, limits and consequences, an education... Otherwise, you raise spoiled useless brats like in this case.
