Yuck to Taylor Armstrong returning. And fuck Tamra.

Two reasons this show has finally been deleted from my PVR.

It's the Heather Dubrow Show. All the other OC bitches need to be afraid. Including the recycled bitches: Tamra and Taylor

Unfortunately, you’re right. I liked Heather early on. But now I find her just insufferably pretentious, and I can’t stand Botoxed Snake Oil Salesman Terry anymore, either.

Don’t know if I’ll watch, but it will be interesting to see the dynamic between Heather and Tamra. I can see Tamra’s tagline: “I’m BACK, bitches!” and Heather will be like, “Hold up…”

Anyone know if Alexis returning? 

Just checked, and all I found was a July 6 story from Reality Tea that she and Tamra were “allegedly” in discussions to return. Given that Tamra has been confirmed, I’m guessing Andy’s passing on Alexis, or she is still playing hardball about money (in which case, I can see Andy still passing).

When does taping begin? With Tamra back, that leaves only one spot to maybe fill, right?

Thinking on it, Alexis could be interesting to have back. She’s obviously moved on from Jim (the constant and gross PDA with her man on Below Deck made that pretty clear) and her submissive-and-unfullfulled Howife image. Speaking of Jim…wasn’t he in a lawsuit with Shannon and Tamra? Was that all thrown out?

Shannon was dropped from the suit by the Judge.  He and Tamrat settled in 2021.  The terms are confidential.

I wonder how much of a pay cut Tamra had to take? There's no way they brought her back at the same bloated salary she had before.

Maybe she negotiated a year of Eddie giving Andy BJ's just to get back on the show?

She was in negotiations, but she haven't signed a contract yet. And she is in good terms with Heather now.

Bravo wanted to demote Gina, and Emily, but with Jen and Noella leaving it might not happen. Unless Alexis returns, on top to Tamra and Taylor joining.

Tamra said she would invite Vicki to events, so unfortunately, Vicki will make appearances...As for Gina, it seems she was demoted.

Not that sad about the Gina news (it's a season or 2 late, anyway), but boooo to the news about Vicki. Hopefully Bravo edits her out as much as possible.

Interesting about Taylor, I thought she would be on full time.

Taylor might be on full time. Sometimes this is decided after filming is over. 

When Vicki filmed her last season she thought she would be full-time, but Bravo eventually demoted her, and paid her for only her edited participation! She was furious.

No $hit! She looks ridiculous. Like her hair is screaming at me "I'm fake!!!!" Fire Emily and replace her with her husband Shane.

What a cesspool of howives Bravo has pooped on us for the new season. 

And Gina is going to be "a friend" of the show? She just needs to go. Away. For good.

Mark my words, Vicki will wheedle her way back into this show. With Tamra coming back, it’s like Andy’s waving the white flag. He surrenders.

Never mind Emily's hair...what the hell did she do to her face??!! I had hoped Heather Dubrow wasn't coming back...saw her hubby doing a late night sales pitch on the low rent QVC wannabe for a laser comb. Wow...he'll sell any crappy product they throw at him.

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.

Aren't Lynne Curtin's daughters porn stars?

I agree. I knew Tamra would be returning and she did. Now she can be Top Dog and bring along the OG of the OC.

Like any good cockroach...

[ZettaK]

Vicki will know when Tamra is filming and she will be there. Tamra mentioned she would invite her to events. Vicki downsized by selling her house and buying one in Coto which is a lot smaller. Losing the Bravo income hurt her- she earned at least $1 million for about three to four months of filming. 

I'm afraid Bravo won't be able to edit her out, or at least most of her. It might not even want to do it. I don't want to see her, or any of her relatives.

I am so not looking forward to once again hearing the high-pitched shrieking of "tres amigas!"

[ZettaK]

Alexis is not coming back. 

Spoiler

A couple of Tamra's friends are filming with her. Taylor posted a photo with Tamra on IG. The other HWs (Heather, Gina, Shannon, Emily) are not happy with her return, as she is not with what they said about her after she left. Tamra already hosted an explosive dinner. 

“Viewers can expect cameos from any of Noella, Braunwyn, Vicki, Meghan, and RHOBH alum Teddi Mellencamp,”

What a phucking mess this franchise has become. I wish someone would stand up to Trailer Trash Tamra. You'd think Heather would but I'm guessing Tamra will kiss Dubrows ass. 

[RoseAllDay]

Wasn’t sure where this should go, here, or in Meghan’s thread.

Why anyone would want to marry that dick is beyond me. Always wanted to slap him over how he spoke to Meghan, and the way she would shut down. 

I give this two years, tops, and I’m being generous. He and David Beador could be twins.

It’s almost like Andy is hellbent on destroying these franchises.

It seems she didn't yet. The four from last year are not too happy she returned.

[RoseAllDay]

Vicki’s back. Not all that surprised, TBH.

https://radaronline.com/p/vicki-gunvalson-back-rhoc-filming-tamra-shannon-beador/

Just as a FOH, but I think this is a huge, hot-air trial balloon to see how the show does ratings wise. 

She’s just been in one scene with Tamra and Shannon. So far.

[Hiyo]

I wonder how extra she will be to try and reclaim that orange. Granted, she was already extra to begin with...

[PrincessPurrsALot]

If she wants to win us over she could get hit in the face with a football or fall over while accepting an award she made up.  That's the Vicki we enjoyed - thoroughly clueless.  Cancer scammer, teeth purchasing, desperate for any jerk that will have her Vickster can stay away. 

May I remind us all, she doesn't need the money; she works!  😁

[Marley]

Her getting hit in the head with a football cracks me up to this day. 

I am not surprised she’s back. She wasn’t the worst on UGT, but I mean that was hard with psycho Dorinda around lol.

Between Dorinda and her not feeling good during the trip, she caught a break for not being awful.

So sounds like Shannon went groveling back to the amigas. 😒

Cancer scammer being back means I probably won't be.

Emily is wearing someone else’s face.

Shannon dodged a bullet, she looks great. Gina as well. The rest-eh. 

so much spray tanner. Hope the couches aren’t white. 

Shannon does look nice. Maybe one of her better looks. It’s not a show stopper but it’s flattering. Wish she wore different shoes.
 

i actually like Gina’s look. I think it’s cute, but it is NOT something I would pick to be filmed sitting down for several hours. I really doubt that’s going to be flattering sitting on a couch.

Emily’s is awful. Too much design and it doesn’t fit well. Same for Noelles.

Heather looks nice but completely out of place. She looks like she’s going to lunch.

Jen (I think that’s her name?) is fine until I get to the feathers. What the fuck?

[ZettaK]

Vicki appeared in a scene because what was filmed until then was boring. Allegedly. It was also reported that one HW didn't film for weeks because a rumor (or more than a rumor) was circulated by another HW.

Spoiler

Heather didn't film because another HW (Tamra?) mentioned that Dr. Dubrow cheated on Heather.

None of the spoilers info surprises me. Terry is very unattractive but women in Orange County find his wallet very sexy.

The first time (allegedly, a very popular word in these forums). She then returned last season. This is happening now (again) during next season's filming. And yes, it's the same rumor, only that it was supposedly discussed this time.

I have no idea. There is no more info. I read there was a long term affair with an assistant in the past. It could be gossip. Vicki started different rumors about other HWs when she was exposed regarding Brooks' fake cancer story. For revenge. Tamra's husband was gay, Heather's husband killed at least one patient, and so on. 

Vicki was on Bravocon and said that Teresa Guidice is the most overrated HW, the second time to Teresa herself. I guess there was an event with many HWs from all franchises. 

[ZettaK]

Do you think Bravo employees (or even Bravolebrities) read this forum, and other forums?

It seems that Tamra and Heather were asked in BravoCon which is taking place right now in NYC if everything is ok between them, they said yes, and they exchanged an awkward kiss.

[ZettaK]

Tamra and Vicki then and now.

Is this a new business venture for Vicki? I vaguely recall her offering financial services in the past but am not sure if it was part of her insurance biz or not.

I would definitely NOT give my business to anyone associated with her!

They’ve both had a lot of work done over the years. It’s jarring to see how they were when they first came on the show, Vicki especially.

Why they want to do this is beyond me. You can’t fight time forever, and you have to keep shooting your face full of chemicals to keep it looking “young.” There is so much more I’d rather spend my time and money on.

Neither is aging gracefully, inside or out.
