Real Housewives in the Media

I think his reaction would be more like this:

[ZettaK]

Tamra is on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live right now (she appeared as a surprise guest toward the end) to show her orange, and say she is back. Sutton Stracke, and Lisa Milan from the RHW of Dubai are the guests.

I saw that too. She wore a one piece bodysuit that was more like a layer of second skin than actual clothes. She was prancing and eating up all the attention. 

[bichonblitz]

Oh, shit. She's back. Tamra saves Orange County. Yeah, right. Interesting to see how fake it's all going to be with Tam and Heather feuding and the standing feud with Tam and Shannon. Of course there will be huge ratings because Tamra has fans and people will want to see her in action. 

Personally, I don't think Tamra is going to save anything. This franchise was dying on the vine the last season she was there. All her drunken making out with Brawnwyn, falling out of chairs at restraurants and flashing her tits was too much for most of us. She needed to be fired and the show needs to be cancelled. It's run it's course. 

[goofygirl]

ITA 100% bichonblitz!!  I don't think Tamrat is going to be able to save anything!! Even any of her salary!  Not sure what Andy Cohen was thinking but it's probably not going to work the way he THINKS it will.

What's REALLY suprising is that Vicki let Tamrat LIVE after that announcement!

Well now I don’t have to watch at all. She was the only one I found amusing, especially bc she got under Heathers skin. I’ll just come here to read the snark..

It seems that Tamra and Vicki were the guests on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live the previous day (I assume Tamra stayed in NYC and she appeared as a surprise guest on that show the next day), and Tamra's return was not announced. I'm sure on purpose as not to upset Vicki!

I posted on the old forum (Television Without Pity), and although I read the new forums, I never created an account in order to post. I did a few months ago because I was disappointed with the direction this show took, and I wanted to post before it was canceled. I watched it from the beginning. The comparison between the old episodes which were shown the same day before the new one, and the new ones didn't help things....

[65mickey]

If Shannon wants to stay on this show and has on ounce of sense she will get together with Tamra before filming. Otherwise she will be on an island with no friends. Heather has Gina and Emily running after her like little annoying puppy dogs hanging on her every word and fawning all over her. Heather was as awful to Shannon last season as she was to Shannon on Shannon's first season.  Andy turned last season into the Dubrow show. and I cannot watch a rerun of that.

I am anxious to see how this plays out. On their podcast Teddi Mellencamp said she was trying to get them to make up and I think that process has started. I'm not that forgiving. If my close friend dumped me cold because I was no use to her anymore, ignored all my texts and messages after I was fired, there is nothing in hell that would make me forgive her. So Shannon will be groveling to Tamra the same way she did to Heather last season. 

Then Heather Dubrow tried to block Andy from hiring Tamra back because she said her podcast was a conflict of interest because the podcast is all about talking shit about all the HW shows (Teddi and Tamra spill alot of juice on that show)   which really pissed Tamra off. Will they all fake kiss and makeup? I say of course. If there are $$$$ to be made they will fake it all day long.

Also, a little tidbit Tamra said that Eddie is tired of Tamra flashing her tits when she gets drunk and asked her not to do it anymore.....we shall see!

The original concept of the show was mix of housewives and their teen children.  I think part of the reason OC has declined is not only because of bad housewife casting (Gina, Noella, Jen)..but their kids are too young.

Shannon, Tamra and Heather have teens/young adults that should be used more.  And the show should also cast a new housewife with older children that can also be focused on.

If the show focused a bit less on petty fights, alliances...and just added some more individual scenes...I think the show has a chance of improving.

and just added some more individual scenes

But then people would complain how boring it is and/or the HW is trying way too hard to have a "story".

I really watch for the house, clothing and travel porn.  The backstabbing and fighting I just don't need.  

Gina isn't rich enough for the show, they are middle class.  Emily, Jen and Noella don't quite make it for me either.

Heather is, and if they had other housewives as rich as the Dubrows, she wouldn't get to lord it over everyone.  Shannon is great for her quirkiness and because she was that rich.

Jeanna was great because of her lifestyle and ex husband.  Lydia also clicked for me.

I want more helicopters to LA to shop, vacations in exotic places, and big houses filled with gadgets and appliances that only the filthy rich buy.

I’m with you!  I’ve stopped watching several HW shows because I’m sick of all the stupid fighting.

Last year, I only caught a few episodes of this series and read this forum to see what was going on.

If Tamra is back, I definitely don’t plan to watch.

Does RHOC have the lead on kids with messed up futures?

I haven't watched this show and others for many years, but I think so. RHOC has:

• Tammy K's daughters (not sure if they cleaned up their acts)
• Josh Waring
• Lynne Curtain's daughters
• Ryan, Tamra's lazy weasel-faced son

I'm not sure what happened to Shane Kenough or Vicki's son.

Vicki's son Michael moved to Hawaii and still works for his mother's insurance agency.

It looks like Shane gave up acting and selling real estate, and is some sort of entrepreneur with a slew of products, or at least product names.  I think he lives in Vegas:

I think that this is a recent girlfriend in the photos, not a wife. He is not married. And the baby he is holding in some older photo is Kara's second baby (a son), not his.

What can it hurt at this point. Might as well try lol cause last season was not good.

[AntAnn]

IMO, all the rh shows are failing. These are middle age women trying to be relevant. They don’t bring much class or bling (except for a Birken here or there. We can all aspire to that, right? Not to mention all the grift. They are not classy or fun and certainly not aspirational. I don’t watch any of them anymore, but I enjoy following and reading. So thank you!

They've known each other for years.

Taylor lives in OC, married, and has a teen daughter so she's a natural fit on the show.  Will be interesting to see how she vibes with Shannon, Gina, Emily and Heather.

[Baltimore Betty]

Taylor has got to lay off the filler and what not, she is looking very manish.

Heather won't like her, Heather will tolerate her, same goes with Tamra, those women do not mean a thing to her.

Each to his own, but I don't watch this to see kids, young or old. I can take some appearances here and there, but they put too much focus on a bunch of bratty teens or early 20 somethings, I really am out. Tamra's bad enough. Maybe the strategy now is to bring in someone totally and completely batshit crazy (Noella, Braunwyn) and unbelievably boring (Jen, Elizabeth) so that Tamra actually doesn't look that bad. We will see if it works.

Absolutely. What parent would put up with being cussed out in a mall and totally disrespected at home, while turning a blind eye to underage drinking and giving in to your brats’ every whim?

Why, Lynne (and Frank) Curtin, of course! Not saying that Gretchen Rossi is the great defender of Mom and Apple Pie, but she nailed it when she called out Lynne for her shitty parenting skills — and Lynne knew it, too.

Wow!!  Interesting, indeed!

Is Taylor the first housewife to crossover from one franchise to another as a fulltime cast member?  

As long as Taylor keeps her whining/crying/shrieking while drunk in check, I'm okay with this - could make for an interesting season.

Between Taylor and Tamra, I'm curious to see who will be the first one to drag Gina!

Tamra said on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live that her podcast is No 1.

Taylor and her husband moved to the OC from Colorado relatively recently. 

I think Shannon is nervous she cut off all communications with Tamra when she left the show, and it was reported she is trying for a reconciliation. I wouldn't be too nice if I were Tamra. This goes for Heather, as well who tried to keep her off the show.

Taylor is the first HW to crossover.

It's a shame Gina, and Emily are still cast members. Unfortunately, Bravo cannot eliminate so many HWs at the same time, but I would prefer Alexis Bellino instead of those two. She was considered as a replacement. Even Laurie Peterson is preferable to them.

Yuck to Taylor Armstrong returning. And fuck Tamra. It's going to be a contest to see who can earn Heather's "love". 

Gina is probably worried that she will no longer be Queen Heather's bestie.

I bet she is raging. She congratulated Tamra, and it's possible that Tamra might film a little bit with her, for example she can go by her office, or house (or vice versa), or have dinner out, or invite her to an event (but Bravo might edit her out). Vicki sold her house last April (2021), and she bought another one, a lot smaller in Coto. She renovated it, but it looks generic. At least it's a little bit more contemporary. The only yard it has is a thin strip in one side. The lot is small, and the houses are right next to each other. Nothing compared to her old house which she sublet when I assume she was still living in it according to her IG- I just checked. All her kids had left the house (Mike was in San Diego for years, and then moved to Hawaii), and she spent time in her condo in Mexico. 

As for Tamra, she will probably fight with more than one person (that's why I mentioned "drama"). She recommended Emily for the show, but she said she was boring later on. She is not in good terms with Shannon (who has no friends on the show), Heather, and probably Emily.

Lmao! The Recycled Housewives of Orange County. I would love a housewives city shuffle, that would be hilarious. Sort of like the UGT shows but meatier.

 ehhhh don't care for Tamra much, unless she's changed a lot. I can't see how she'll help a thing? She was quite the Heather bootlicker, wasn't she? (Although l do still laugh about her drunken hiding in the bushes at Shannon's party.)

 So glad Vicki isn't back. Anyone that willingly and purposely helped a guy fake cancer is a major loser. That's beyond low. 
 

 They should have axed Hip and Casita, since neither one brings a thing. I hope this won't be an entire season of piling on Shannon. Shannon is annoying af, but I'm very sick of the cast gang ups on one person.

[chenoa333]

Anyone know if Alexis returning?
