Forget Frost/Nixon.

Tonight was Tamra/Gretchen, as two of the blondest blondes of Real Housewives of Orange County butted highlighted heads during the reality-show reunion.

Beyond those two, moderator Andy Cohen knew enough to lie back and let all these feisty women battle over topics as sordid and sundry as responsible parenting, the meaning of "naked wasted" and Gretchen's relationship with her late boyfriend, Jeff, and possible involvement with another man.

It was totally like the Masterpiece Theatre of trash television.
