It seems Tamra Barney’s home has been on sale for ages, well that’s probably because it has, as the home was put up for sale well over a year ago. A new report now shows the Real Housewives of Orange County star’s home is scheduled to go into a foreclosure auction Thursday afternoon, which is today.
However not so fast, says Tamra Barney’s real estate agent. Marcos Prolo told the OC Register that the “short sale” on the house announced in November is still in escrow. Adding that the bank has given the sale its approval and even lowered the sale price by $25,000.
So why then is Tamra’s house listed for an auction Thursday afternoon? According to Marcos, “Banks typically are pokey at getting postponed foreclosure auctions off the schedule,” Prolo said. He however expects today’s scheduled auction to get yanked from the schedule Thursday morning. Sean O’Toole, CEO of ForeclosureRadar, also confirmed that most sales get postponed these days.
Prolo once again makes it clear that Tamra’s house is not in foreclosure, saying – “There isn’t a (foreclosure) sale. We already have bank approval.” The escrow is scheduled to close on Feb. 26 according to Prolo.
Below is a video preview of tonight’s episode of the OC Housewives, Is it just me or does it feel like this season has been going on forever? Moving on, the preview shows a rather intense argument between Simon Barney and Vicky. Simon feels Vicky is becoming too involved in his marriage, Vicky feels Simon is being rude, and Tamra feels she’s being put in the middle.
Also coming up in tonight’s episode is Lynne’s eviction. Guess we will all finally get to see how that whole ordeal went down.
UPDATE - The OC Register is now reporting the foreclosure auction on Tamra’s home has been indeed postponed until March. According to Tamra’s real estate agent, the home has been sold and is in escrow as a “short sale.” The March auction will take place only if the deal should fall apart.
The video preview is below –
TELL US – ARE YOU ON SIMON’S SIDE OR VICKY’S SIDE?
First off, friends shouldn’t come between a marriage. But how strong could their marriage be if Vicki is causing them problems? It seems to me, as a viewer, that Simon is very insecure and doesn’t like his wife to have friends w/ opinions.
Ut-oh. Simon must think Tamra told Vicky she suspects he’s gay. He keeps repeating that they have a ‘healthy’ marriage and seems overly paranoid. He’s acting worse than Ryan.
Tamra said she could just go buy her own Harley if she wants one in her blog. So she refused to pay her mortgage for around a year. She refused to pay her American Express card for around a year but she can go buy her own Harley??? What a great example she is for her kids.
This season does seem to be going on forever! First~ Simon, Tamra and Vicki are rude to engage in this at Lynne’s dinner party.
Vicki is privy to Tamra’s venting about the marriage. Vicki needs to keep her knowledge and opinions in check and be a listening friend with a closed mouth. Simon seems to want to ramp it up with both of the women. Tamra appears to want it ALL to gloss itself over and go far away, who can blame her? The only one who seems to be behaving oddly is Simon, in my opinion. Leslie~agreed! Simon seems to have alot of issues this season. I still wonder if the loss of monies was the straw that broke the Barney’s marriage. He seems quite paranoid and in this clip he seems overly insecure to say the least. Strong women seem to irritate him. Women with opinions seem to irritate him. puhp~unsure of the gay theory but who knows! Simon is clearly rivaling Ryan in the jackhole category! Vicki clearly knows something!
My suggestion to all 3: Zip it~Lock it~Put it in your pocket! Yes you 3 blowhards~I am referring to your gaping maws, commonly known as your mouths! Guess when Tamra took etiquette lessons she forgot what she learned and obviously never shared her knowledge with her spouse or BFF.
RT: Thank you for this latest news
RE the clip:
Tamra needs to defend Vicki and to give an explanation (at the same time) to Simon to get him to calm down.
Simon is taking things way too far and is imagining things that just aren’t there. Maybe this is typical behavior for a person who’s world is falling apart.
Sorry to say, but Donn needs to defend Vicki too instead of keeping himself safe on the sidelines.
He needs to step it up and stop fooling himself by using Vicki’s “powermode” as an excuse – and by doing so his nonaction is nothing more than a coward’s passive-play.
Vicki and Donn need to talk about what the other is to do in these sorts of situations in the future. In any event, hopefully Simon and Tamra will be off the show next season and they won’t have to deal with either of them again.
However, as a married, committed couple, Donn & Vicki need to present a united front to bullies and skanks to protect their relationship and personal dignity.
btw, Vicki (the employed one) must be right since Simon, is what, still selling tequila?
And that’s it??? hmmmmm….wonder what employers know that I don’t….
Many things said on the net have pointed to Vicki and Don cheating on each other. I do not know if that is true. They may have some sort of open marriage so maybe cheating is the wrong word.
Leslie, I agree, Simon seems insecure, and doesn’t like his wife to have friends with opinions.And really how strong could their marriage been if Vicki was causing problems? Good Point.
Puhp, you crack me up! Madge, good points all the way around.
Scarlette, I agree, Tamra should have defended Vicki and at the same time given an explanation to Simon to calm him down. I really think Donn should have checked on the situation, he knew the %^&* was flying he should have checked on his wife,instead of to me, looking like a complete idiot.
I hope they all come back next season/year. I’d love to know what happens to all of them.
I remember Tamra crying last season about her parents divorce. I thought that was interesting seeing how she was an adult when they separated and her loyalty to one parent issues seemed odd for a person her age. What strikes me is the similarity here. For some reason she feels like she must “choose” between Vicki and Simon and feels conflicted. This is typically a stress for children of divorce, not adult women.
The clip suggests that Vicki knows more than us viewers do. It sounds like they’ve been having marriage troubles for some time (at least the past couple of years) and that Tamra confided some information with Vicki that has Simon nervous – whatever it is I’m dying to know!
IMO it seems as though when they had money they had a good (or at least decent) marriage. They may have had fights/jealousy issues, etc. but they had the money that if Tamra wanted to shop and go out to dinner or Simon wanted to golf it was their escape. Now that the economy has affected them it’s taken it’s toll and they did not have as strong and as healthy marriage as Simon claims they did. I don’t ever recall Tamra saying the same sort of things. She mostlly suggested they had a good sex life from previous seasons.
I’m not a big fan of Vicki, I think she is overbearing and opinionated but at the same time I don’t think she is responsible for their problems. If having a opinionated friend for a couple of years can help ruin a marriage than I don’t think they had a good foundation to start with.
t/y Dyana – you made some very good points.
Leslie: You sum it up so well. Awesome points and post.
Money was Simon & Tamra’s enabler. Now that’s gone, their lives are imploding.
Best thing Simon ever did was file for divorce. When your wife is not trustworthy you do not have a marriage. Only remaining question is did she cheat with her ex boyfriend, her son Ryan, Jay or some guy in Vegas.
t/yScarlette, I know I have told you this before, but heyI’ll tell you again.Ialways enjoy reading your posts, they are very insightful, and really I have learned alot from them regarding California.That said, I think you are right Money was their enabler,when it’s gone, everything falls apart. I have seen it happen myself, it is sad very sad, but it happens.
PUISTB said: “… Only remaining question is did she cheat with her ex boyfriend, her son Ryan, Jay or some guy in Vegas.”
Or, did SIMON?
Another Good Post Leslie, Your on a Roll!
Thanks Dyana and Scarlette! I always enjoy reading what you have to say.
I’m obsessed with the show. I live in Costa Mesa (in Orange County) about a mile away from Gretchen, however I haven’t seen her out yet. All of my friends have seen the housewives out in some form except for me. It makes me sad, but for now I’ll just keep watching and reading this site.
Check this out regarding Gretchen and Jay:

Yikes!! What an intense show tonight!!
Is it me or is the show edited to make Tamra look like she has a drinking problem? First in the Tatoo parlour, she asks her son to get her a drink, he says Water? She looks at him in disgust and says NOO!!!
Second instance, at the dinner party, Tamra is 3 sheets to the wind before dinner. Her husband asks her to drink water or eat something and she was to happy to refuse. Clip goes to Gretchin saying SHE HEARD around town that she is a closet drinker.. Wow being on a reality show it tough..
I do have to say, when Simon asked Tamra to drink some water, Vicky almost lost it saying she had to take the high road as if Simon was trying to control her. I thought that was what married people do.. Watch each others backs as to not make a fool of yourself on national tv to maybe not look too out of control? To me thats not controlling.
I think Simon was so paranoid and defensive is due to feeling like a 3rd person was in his marriage. I couldnt imagine if my husband had someone trying to makes life worse for me during hard times in my life. It does make you insecure and makes your mind lose itself. I dont think Vicky is the reason for their troubles but she sure didnt help it.
My favorite part of the show… after the whole Vicky and Don pretending they were sleeping and snoring at Alexis story that was long winded, scene went to Lynn at the confessional saying with sincerity , “Maybe Vicky was tired.. she does work alot”
LMAOOOOOOOOOO
Wow what an intense episode.
As much as I think Vicki needs to be discrete around all of these other show personalities, I think Simon has way too much time on his hands and is being overly sensitive, which may be one reason why he is still unemployed.
btw, he and Tamra’s marriage has fallen apart on its own without Vicki so there goes his theories!
Vicki:
Nearly all of OC hates these people and they are all despised. They have:
arrest records
a criminal indictment
infidelity leading to divorce
evictions
bankruptcy
unemployment
lawsuits
Just keep it simple and superficial with these bums. Hopefully they’ll move back to the trailer park soon.
Whoa PUISTB! That’s some ax you’re grinding over there!
Scarlette, I agree with you 100%. Vicky’s the only smart one of the bunch and Simon looked like a little bitch desperate for attention tonight.
Have you guys seen these pics of Gretchen skanking it up at a bowling alley?
http://www.radaronline.com/node/19327
I agree w/ everyone. Don was a wussy at the party and should have defended his wife from that flaming hothead. Don feigns Mr. Niceguy b/c he wants to be liked and accepted, and then he turns on Vicki and is critical and unsupportive all the way home. Get a set Don.
Vicki should have got in Simon’s face and asked him if he hits or pitches and that she finds his gay embroidered cowboy shirts offensive – just to push him over the edge. What did Tamra say about the ALL GUY dance he was doing at the club? Hello!?! Simon should have told Vicki at the time he claims Vicki interfered in his marriage to knock it off, and left it at the door. He went after her at the party and expects her to apologize like he expected Ryan to. It’s not going to happen. She’s not intimidated by that dick either.
Vicki is on a different playing field than the other boneheads on the show and can’t relate to any of them. She’s smart, successful, self made, and yes, she wears the pants in her marriage. So what. That little factoid seems to fry Simonsez to no end. I suppose she doesn’t have a ‘healthy marriage’ b/c of it.
Tamra is a Benedict Arnold and caves in to peer pressure. She’s a back biter who is not a real friend to Vicki. She wants to divorce him but then gets his name tattooed on her hand. She’s messing w/ his head.
I thought it was a riot when Vicki asked Gretchen if Slade brought home a paycheck and if Jeff left her money. HAHA Gretchen! 2 more lies for the record. She brags about how hot, sexy and good in bed she is, yet she’s gotta pay for it. How embarrassing. Vicki’s right, she will fail w/ her cheap, generic cosmetic line. Newsflash Gretchen: YOU DON”T WORK!
I swear the whole group is insane, esp, Simon. He’s got some serious anger issues. He’s another OJ in the making. They’re all a bunch of back biting creeps. They can’t handle a small social gathering w/out guzzling alcohol to handle the stress of it all. Cats and dogs would be more civilized to e/o when put in the same room.
I’m no fan of Vicki, but Simon came off looking like a tool in this episode. He keeps claiming that he and Tamra have a great marriage – oops – and that Vicki is somehow messing up their utopia. She is overbearing but I agree with the others that the Barneys’ financial problems are a lot more to blame for their marital issues than any of Vicki’s meddling. I think Ryan may now actually make more than Simon or Tamra at his new job pimping supplements.
By the way, how is Gretchen going to pay that goofball Jay $18K per that court order? Maybe she’ll cut him in on a share of the Gretchen Christine Beaute enterprise.
I missed tonights episode but reflecting back on all the season’s past, i really couldn’t come up with anything that bad that Vicki has every done, at least w/in the realm of her morals.
-She had real estate issues w/ jeana, but money and business are #1 for V. and everyone around her knows it. So no surprise that she’d forsake a friendship in the name business.
hmm, i could be wrong, but V. has been consistent in her ways and i can’t fault her.
Simon and Tamra were far more normal and likeable when they first came on, now…err… well he is the epitome of insecure-so-i-control-my-woman type. She is a nutjob period.
Wow..It was a good show last night!
@ I’m Just Saying..I think Bravo likes to show them all drinking,they pretty much all had too much at one time or another. I have to say my favorite part was the same as yours.. Could Alexis gone on any longer?Lynne’s confessional cracked me up the hell up!
@ Scarlette,Puhp, Geg, and GlitchGirl, Good posts!
Lynne stole the show last night with her one liner!!!!! She cracks me up, I think she may have been serious.
I still hope they can work it out, divorce stinks.
I was like “oooh noooo” when Tamra said she was getting a Tatoo on her ring finger, of course this episode was filmed months ago but I was thinking don’t do it, don’t do it he’s gonna file for divorce….oh well none, of us have a crystal ball

As of January Simon is currently back working at Fletcher-Jones Motor Cars of Newport Beach located off of Jamboree. He is making alot of money now that he’s back at work. I honestly don’t know how Tamra put up with Simon’s attitude. The abuse in that family is so obvious. I’m glad she got out when she did.
