It's almost time for the ladies of The Real Housewives of Orange County to take to the couches for the most anticipated Housewives event -- the Season 8 Reunion. Lucky us, this one is going to be a three-part smack-down, and we can't wait to see what goes down when it all begins Monday.

While we can never fully prepare for what happens when Andy Cohen gets all the ladies and their coiffed selves into one room, there are some things (besides lots of hairspray and glittery eye shadow) that we can expect based on the quips and hints the ladies have made as of late -- things like name calling, tantrums, and plenty of tears. Here are five major things we can't wait to watch go down.

1. Alexis Bellino calls Gretchen Rossi a "liar"

After their uncomfortable attempted reconciliation, we knew they weren't going to skip off into the sunset together, but previews show things getting ugly ... and Gretchen's face actually moving a bit. We see Gretchen whining, "... everyone says I'm a liar." Then Alexis shoots back, "You are a liar!" Where they'll go from there, we can only look forward to seeing.

2. Briana and Brooks have it out

It's been a long time coming as they haven't been around each other all season. Let it out, Briana!

3. Vicki Gunvalson can't take the heat

What would a reunion be without someone storming off the set? Apparently this time it's Vicki who bolts. Gretchen recently told ABC News: "It's always going to be Vicki, every time, without fail. Vicki always wants to get up and leave ...”

4. Tamra and Gretchen may put the final stakes in their friendship

Those friendship bracelets aren't going back on anytime soon, especially since Tamra has been saying that Gretchen only proposed to Slade for a little publicity. Ouch. Can't wait to see Vicki gloat when those two go at it.

5. Gretchen's going to try to redeem herself ... and fail

She says she has voice mails proving she was offered a role on Malibu Country, and I'll be interested to hear them. Regardless though, it's not going to make anyone like her. I fully expect her to be the one to hate on the reunion ... just as she was all season.

How excited are you for the reunion of The Real Housewives of Orange County? What are you most looking forward to seeing?

Husband Who Secretly Videotaped Dramatic Argument With Wife Deserves Divorce

Imagine one day you have a knock-down drag-out fight with your husband. You know you sound like a toddler having a tantrum but you just can't help yourself. You are beyond frustrated with him and your relationship. You reach the point of no return and act in a way you're not proud of. For most couples, that's where it would end. Hopefully you'd make up later, and you'd be left thinking, "How did I let myself get that upset?" But for one woman, this isn't where it ended. For her husband was secretly videotaping his wife's epic meltdown and then posted it on YouTube. Would you be surprised if I said the couple are now getting divorced?

According to Jim, the husband, this is what his wife acts like when she "doesn't get her way."

Jim and his wife are riding in a car when they begin arguing over going to a lake. She wants to go. He doesn't. Commence nuclear meltdown. "I'm about to go craaaaazzzzyyyyy!!!" she screams. "I wanna go on the laaaaake!!!!" She even begins kicking her feet on the car dashboard.

Does not getting her way warrant this behavior? No. But rarely is a fight about whatever the couple is fighting about. She wants to go to the lake and he doesn't? It's not hard to figure out from the video that what this is really about is a massive power struggle. She feels ignored. He feels belittled. The usual story.

By the time you get to a fight like this, a lot has gone before it. We don't know what she has had to put up with in the marriage to get to the point where she felt her only option was to act like this. Of course, according to Jim, she acts like this all of the time. But he has something to do with that too. He's pushing her buttons.

Additionally, Jim is the only one who knew they were being recorded, so he had the advantage of modifying his behavior so he appeared calm and tolerant in the midst of her tantrum. Quite an unfair advantage, that. So unfair that you'll have to go to the link to gawk at her meltdown because I don't want to post it here.

Let's not forget that marriage is supposed to be a sacred institution. Part of the foundation of marriage is the trust that you can be your worst with your partner, and even if he doesn't forgive you, he at least doesn't share it with millions of people.

The wife did manage to get the video removed from YouTube, but other channels and media outlets picked it up, so it's out there forever now. Too bad she didn't secretly record him in the sack and post that so we could all laugh!

Thank goodness these two are getting divorced.

What would you do if your husband ever secretly videotaped a fight?
