I just read that Heather is confirming she is out for next season? When it said one of the OC housewives is not returning, I got worried, because I thought Meghan is out, surely Kelly isn't returning PLEEEEEZE? But, it's Heather!

http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/heather-dubrow-confirms-leaving-real-housewives-of-orange-county?cid=soc_dg_tw_RHOC

Next season is not looking good. I saw Vicki on Twitter yesterday getting into it with Shannon. Shannon said something about VIcki paying for her man to go on holidays and Vicki responded that she liked 'taking care of my man'. Then Vicki made a nasty comment about Cut Fitness. So Tamra and Shannon are standing firm against Vicki. I was kind of hoping they'd finally cut Vicki also. 

I thought Meghan had confirmed she was raising the baby in St Louis and not coming back. And Kelly Mega Dudd...I don't think I can watch that horrible heifer for another season. There is a hashtag starting up on Twitter that I saw today #BringKellyBack, which gave me faint hope that she was gone. Can anyone confirm?

Now What??????

[queenjen]

IKR? I've got EVERYTHING crossed that this does mean, due to the use of the word 'back', that Kelly has been canned. I don't want to see this lowrent vile and stupid woman ever again. She didn't even bring the glam with that limp bowl cut she sports. The only time she really made an effort was at the reunion. And I never want to see another Chanel charm dangling off anything either after Kelly and her mother shot a scene where they wore matching ones. She's one of those people that has no taste, but tries to ape it by purchasing anything with a designer label. I don't want to see her, Uncle Fester, Jerry Blank or her kid ever again. And take Vicki too.

[AndySmith]

Is it wrong to admit that I'd rather have Kelly back instead of Vicki? I mean, if I had to choose between the two of them.

[queenjen]

God forbid we have to live in a world where we have to choose! I want Kelly gone, and we can wean Vicki off by demoting her to FO. If she doesn't bring more than trying to ruin her castmates lives, then she can disappear the season after. No one liked Kelly. Especially not Vicki, who used her. And I just saw more confirmation that Meghan is not coming back. I looked at so many sites and tweets and blogs just then, and got distracted for a moment with Atlanta, that I've lost where I saw it. But count on it, she's out also.

Here is one article confirming Meghan's departure from the show.

[tabloidlover]

Heather is gone too

[nexxie]

This show needs at least one likeable person - imo Shannon sort of tarnished herself in that respect by conniving with Heather and Tamra, two completely self-serving creeps. If Bravo doesn't cast someone to like, people won't tune in.

[b2H]

Yeah, I used to like this show, but there are a lot of unanswereds from last season, like Meaghan's new little one and Heather's new house.  I have no interest in these other so-called women ( I would rather they be called vipers, but I digress).

count me out.

When Heather first came on the show, she seemed okay. When Shannon first started, she was likeable. Both have teamed up with Dark Side Tamra. I'd like to see strong, smart women, who are not thirsty, narcissistic, or so vulnerable they don't see the thirst or narcissism of their castmates until they're drawn into the ugly.

As long as Vicki and Tamra are he show, the dark side will dominate. The others are left with picking the lesser of the 2 evils and at this point, that seems to be Tamra! LOL

I think had Meghan not been pregnant, and suffering morning sickness 24/7, she might have been a bit more involved. I think she would have sided with Tamra/Shannon/Heather over Vicki/Kelly.

I am out as well.  I loathe Vicki and Kelly.  Tamra I am not sure about.  I go back and forth.  Shannon I like but shes a nut.  While braggadocious, Heather is the only one with a speck of sense.  RHOC, it was nice knowing ya.  I of course will come here to read about it.  I would miss the snark too much not to.

God, Shannon is just digging her heels deeper and deeper into the mud, isn't she? She really doesn't have a leg to stand on anymore when it comes to her moral righteousness. I don't think this show has been good for her. She seems to just get angrier and angrier.

So, definitely no Heather, probably no Meghan, possibly no Kelly - this is looking to be like a major cast shake up!

[queenjen]

Kelly tweeted a clip of the Wicked Witch dying in response to Heather going. Kelly has been very active, retweeting anything that supports her. It looks like she's fighting for her orange. Or, hopefully, it's been taken from her. Heather worded her statement in such a way, if you look at the link I originally posted on the previous page, to make it clear she has NOT been sacked, she says thankyou to Andy, Bravo etc for keeping the door open if she changes her mind. 

So we had how many seasons leading up to Chateau Dubrow and we never got a peek inside? I feel cheated. 

I'm still hoping and praying that Kelly is one and done. No one wants her, she's a nasty bigot and she really didn't gel with the rest of the group,, not even Vicki. 

Tamra tweeted a photo of herself in a #housewife cap, so that may mean she's good to go. 

Most of the talk is about 'who can they bring back'. What about fresh blood? I think their big problem is they wont axe Vicki and then they are railroaded into finding someone who will agree to film with her cancer scamming ass. And this is really limiting options and making the show far less fabulous than it could be. 

Gretchen has been cosying up to Vicki in the last couple of months, Gretchen always has an eye on the main chance, but surely, please, what would Gretchen have that we could possibly want to see?

I think if two cast members weren't leaving there might have been a chance of demoting Vicki. Now I wonder if this will be the season of Brianna. Andy has wanted a daughter of a HW; apparently he also keeps asking Jeana Keough back as well (which I don't really get). Vicki would probably befriend Gretchen just so she had someone to film with but quite frankly I would rather see Jo come back. Yeah I know I'm alone on this and Jo's life doesn't fit the show but I kind of love how she seems hyper-embarrassed (rightfully so) about her years on the show and how Slade is a mistake she'd like to forget (which...been there, girl).

heather will probably become the Camille Grammer of the OC.  She will swan in for a party every so often if the right person hosts it.

No, oh lord, please no!!! I'm worried though, because it solves the problem of who will film with Vicki. But we've already seen PLENTY (as in too much, already) of Vicki and Breanna and Ragey Ryan. We're all health issue fatigued, and bringing Breanna will be more of this. Plus, she's really not what I want in a housewife. If they want to start OC Housewives: Generation Next, good, dump her in that. 

I'd have a hard time deciding whom I want to see least: Boring Breanna or the Notrocious Kell Mega Dudd.

Please, please, please find someone new and fabulous. Or get Nina from Shannon's 70s party, I'm curious about her.

[What In The]

For those that have had enough of mega dudd.

[AndySmith]

Having both Heather and Meghan gone will certainly change the dynamic of the show. Last season we had Heather/Tamra/Shannon on one side, and Vicki/Kelly on the other, with Meghan, while on neither side, definitely leaning towards H/T/S and probably would have outright joined them had she not been pregnant.

Whether Kelly stays or goes, it will be interesting to see how things play out with the new HWs, and see both sides scramble to pick up a new team member or two. Sadly, this puts Vicki back in a position of strength, which, so much ugh. And I am curious to see if Tamra will abandon Shannon if the tide fully turns back in favor of Vicki.

Yes, this whole team/side nonsense is ridiculous, but it is what it is. Truth be told, as nasty as this show can be, part of the fun for me these days is seeing all of these alliances change and shift and grow and collapse from season to season. Its like Game of Thrones, but with wine and neon mini-dresses and the occasional house porn.

I could really only take Brianna if Ryan goes. Do not want Ryan anywhere near the show. I would totally co-sign Nina coming on. That might even make watching Kelly fun as she'd likely have an overreaction any time Nina said anything.

Jo could sue Slade & Gretchen for the rights to her music! (Seriously, that always struck me as so odd yet it perfectly encapsulated Slade's character. He's so gross.)

[Mu Shu]

Well I'm definitely out.  Heather and her great pile of bricks was the only thing keeping me going.  I'll say it again.  Heather is too good for this bunch of trashy scumbags.   If Briana becomes a full housewife,that will be the death knell.  Sorry kid, I you are boring.  Like really boring.

another hour of my week freed up.  I may take up fishing.  And fuck you Vicki.  You disgusting wookie. 

[zoeysmom]

Sadly, I think it is in the cards Kelly Dodd will return.  http://allthingsrh.com/report-vicki-gunvalson-kelly-dodd-returning-rhoc-season-12/  I hope she and Vicki take turns bashing each others brains in (figuratively) not literally.  Bravo wants shit show ratings they picked the right two.

[Bobcatkitten]

This past season went too far in my opinion and I am betting that is why Heather is out. She and Terry make calculated decisions and clearly they came to the conclusion that the Dubrow image would be harmed if she stayed longer since the show is descending into craziness with Kelly.

[Jextella]

Heather was flat as a pancake, IMO, and for all her money, intelligence, and skill with the English language, she and Terry still come off as skeevy to me.  Hawking this, that, and the other thing to support their indulgent lifestyle is kinda gross to me.

She's in the barrel with the rest of them....

[Misslindsey]

I guess I would rather have new people come onto the show than any past housewives. There are not any past housewives that I would like to see return. I definitely do not want Brianna as a housewife. Ugh. Though if the new castmates are in the Kelly Dodd territory than I am out.

[Kiss my mutt]

Bring back Lydia and I'm in!

[What In The]

[Jextella]

For me, it takes 2 seasons to get the full gist of the women.   Kelly Dodd wasn't great, but maybe, just maybe, we'd see a different side in second season?!?! 

[lunastartron]

The most interesting report I've read on the situation thus far. http://tamaratattles.com/2017/01/30/a-tiny-bit-of-real-housewives-of-orange-county-casting-news/

 

How precipitously the casting effort has declined since landing Shannon, Meghan, and Katie Hamilton back to back. 

I have no interest whatsoever in a return by either Gretchen or Lizzie and I'm somewhat surprised that Alexis isn't being entertained as an option in preference to them especially since Andy seemed to finally get over his vendetta against her religious beliefs.

Lydia would make an interesting and earnestly monied addition to the current cast. I have no idea how the alliances would shake out. 

Lauri would be my second choice for another turn. But I'm assuming she's gone for good with the attempted murder tragedy.

If nothing else, how much does anyone want to bet that Tamra is already plotting to realign herself with Vicki and Kelly in order to put on the pyrotechnics of finally getting Shannon wheeled away on a 5150? 

[chenoa333]

I don't care if I ever see Heather again but I do want to see her home when it's completed. I'm sure photos of that will be available all over the internet.

And I don't much care who stays. (Aside from hoping  Tamra goes soon) I definitely can't take any more of Brianna and her hot headed loser husband.

Yup, Bravo periodically checks in with former cast (and cast offs), so I imagine Heather will agree to a viewing of Chateau Dubreau, especially if she doesn't have to share the spotlight with the HWs hoi polloi.

As to your comment about Tamrag, 1000+++++. Lord, when will she be gone?

[queenjen]

I'm gutted that Kelly Mega Dudd is returning and the intel being that they are considering casting around her. I actually do understand Lydia coming back because Lydia really did stand up to Vicki and to anyone else (Brooks). In a way, Lydia could go some way to sorting these heifers out. I suspect Tamra won't like it. I hope it won't be Lizzie, I just found her bland. I'm surprised to hear Meghan will be making appearances. I hope, given it's being said that Vicki (sigh), Shannon and Tamra are signed already, that Shannon at least brings up some Jeff Lewis crossover. 

If I can watch. Because Kelly is a disgusting pig. I can't stand her limp hair and vag face. And she was borderline rude to Andy at the reunion. Although that was overshadowed with Vicki claiming it is 'her show'. Maybe Andy likes a bit of rough from his hos?

I got this figured. No way was Heather going to reveal that thing for chump change. She and Terry will be trying to negotiate a one off special for huge dough, like the auction that happens when Kim K or Angelina has a new baby.

He must have when they recruited Lydia, who is Jesus Jugs x 1000. But Lydia doesn't screech histrionically like Alexis does. Tamra will be back to Vicki in a heartbeat, she's like Gretchen, always has her eye on the main chance. Shannon will need something a lot stronger than Dr Moon's lemons by the time this crew gets through with her. Poor Shannon.

I always liked Lydia. While she may have seemed boring to some, I actually found her to a decent stealth shit stirrer when she needed to be, but overall, she seemed like a nice, decent person who brought the occasional fun snark. With that said...

A part of me doesn't want to see her come back, if only because she is one of the few HWs across pretty much all the franchises who got to walk away from this show with her dignity in tact. Bring her back as a "Friend of" or "Guest", if she ever does come back. Otherwise, her leaving the show, whether it was her choice or Andy/Bravo's was probably all for the best.

Heather and Meagan out and Vicki and Kelly are back? While it would be nice to see Lydia (which doesn't make sense because she said she left because of the negativity and now it's worse than ever) it's not enough to counter act the last two seasons. Not worth it anymore and won't waste my time on rewarding disgusting and awful behavior.

Considering how he brought back Teresa Giudice after she pushed him down once while she was going after Danielle, I say he definitely does.

[Misslindsey]

So is it confirmed that Kelly is back? I can see why Vicki and Kelly are possibly brought back due to Heather and Meghan being out, but I would have loved both of them being gone. Hell, I would have taken one of them being fired! I do not know if I can stomach Vicki and Kelly for another season.

Josh Waring's trial is scheduled to begin this week, but the Defense wants a delay.  Josh originally wanted to represent himself but apparently will have a court-appointed attorney.

"Waring's mother was a cast member of Bravo's reality TV series "The Real Housewives of Orange County" from its debut in 2006 until 2008, when she left to deal with her son's problems, according to Bravo."

Lydia was ok I just didn't find her or her family that interesting.  She gave it back to Slade when he insulted her. She hosted a trip to Canada and we saw her lead Bible/life purpose group which was uncomfortable when we saw how little she had to offer. Her mom had more of a story than she did.

She is not enough to make me watch. She was brought on for one purpose only, a scene to remind Tamra that she has to forgive Vicki which Tamra will do. Haven't we seen this scene several times already? Is Shannon going to be the one on the outside again this season or is she also going to also have a come to Jesus moment and forgive Vicky in order to film. 

Other than a heads up from you guys that Heather and her house has been on I don't plan on watching except for that house episode if it happens.

Removed the series from my TiVo. I'm can't stand Vicki and Kelly .

Tamara Tattles is now saying that sources are confirming Lydia and they are bringing in a new housewife, Brianna Stanko. From the article, it would appear she's a blow in from Atlanta, only living in OC for a couple of months. And it does sound like Shannon is very much going to be on the outside. 

Vicki, Kelly (UGH!), Brianna, Lydia, Tamra, Shannon, with possible friend of appearances by Jeanna Keogh and Gretchen (!)
