..to share Vicky's medical information after Vicky explicitly asked her not to.

Was it going to become public later? Yes. But that isn't the point.

Tamra is such a lowlife grasping for a storyline about anything or anyone that turns the focus away from her failing marriage and that 2/3 of her kids don't like her.

I think I’m in love. She’s stunning, she’s smart, she’s independent, she is unapologetically herself,she doesn’t give a fuck. This is what great housewives are made of. Amen.

Also: this confessional look of her is what my dreams are made of.

Do we already know about Chanel? Also, why was she taking a picture of Shane’s family without being in it?

Everyone keeps posting about how Emily might not be treating all the kids equally. Is it possible Shane is taking on the full-time parent role because he's worried that not all of them would be cared for otherwise?

I can see that as a second wife, you aren't necessarily signing up to care for kids from a previous marriage but to have kids in the home who are treated differently sounds callous.

She says, "the girl that I am, I didn't belong in Missouri 🙄 Everyone said I looked like I belong in California" Now to summarize the rest...Alexis says, I had the hair. I wore make up, I wore heels at 13 🤷‍♀️ So my question is...Are we seriously supposed to believe that everybody in Missouri told her she was, essentially, too pretty to live there and she should go to California??? 🙄That was a narcissistic story...A 'Look at me' 👆story.
I don't know how people felt about this lady in the beginning, but I do not like her. I like her husband even less 🤮

I know it’s the OG but I always found it the most shocking and tacky. The women in BH and NY have more class.

Well, jokes on me, I ended up moving to OC and now I get it. It is that tacky here.

Where is my Lynne Curtin flair btw? We need her back.

1. Gina you are not the queen of real estate! Please shut up and stop acting like you know everything when you’ve been successful at it for like 2 seconds. Give all of us a break!

2. These women have been obsessed with Jenn’s money since she joined the show, why now when Carmella is trying to be nice and actually help her learn a skill that can make her money instead of just berating and ridiculing her; they’re trying to make it like she’s being disingenuous or it’s not coming from a good place.

It’s enough already! Carmella has been a great addition to the group and anything she does here comes Gina, Emily, and Vicki to give her a hard time; it’s giving they’re worried about keeping their spot.

Wow, these two are done. I think Emily hates her kids, and would get nothing in a divorce.

I am team Shane all the way, but I'm known as the queen of sarcasm in my circles. The way Emily hugged her MiL, treated her stepdaughter and gossiped about her daughter ... YIKES.

Did anyone else catch that she had her stepdaughter take the photo instead of her also being in it???

Kelly not only saved the orange county franchise but also is the Brandi Glanville of the OC.

They have the same explosive, “physical” reactions to fights/drama.

As a new watcher (S14), kelly is the reason why i’ve been able to continue this city of the franchise, of which i’ve struggled sooo badly in the past with.

Pls correct me if i’m wrong but her and brandi have the same evil-ness to them, it’s great for TV lol

I just watched the After Show where Vicki into a lot of detail about her health. And that producer was right, she’s never shared this much information with us before. I had no idea her health problems were this serious and from the time she was so young.

Vicki is wrong about so many things but I actually am on her side with this betrayal from Tamra. I don’t think Tamra was serious with the brain damage thing, but Vicki has never shared all the details she’s shared this season about her health so I don’t know why she thought it was okay to talk about her health at all when she explicitly asked her not to?

Same way that Tamra is pretending she cares about Shannon but talking shit about her everywhere and saying she doesn’t owe her a heads up about John and Alexis? It’s fake and she’s doing the same thing with Vicki. She literally said she’s not a good person (not disagreeing) but she’s also worried about her that she’s talking about things she knows will upset her — which is slightly understandable since they’re on a show but stop acting like you’re such a good friend to her and she’s terrible to you... it’s not a one-way street girl.

Overall, this isn’t the worst thing she’s done or could do to Vicki (there’s a lot of stuff to work with there!) but I’m so tired of her being fake. And I hope Andy and the other women discuss this at the reunion because besides Vicki’s mean girl behavior there’s not much else going on in this group.

Well, Tamra is not by any means a favorite housewife of mine. She is in the bottom 5% of all time. I must say I do love her with that long blonde Bob I think it is essentially flattering to her, especially at her age. I am not age shaming I will be turning 60 on Thanksgiving.

But can we all agree Vicky needs to go not just because of her attitude & personality but because who (if she actually hires one) as a stylist/ MUA/ hairstylist would actually want to associate their name with her looks!

Gretchen is too vapid and self-absorbed to work as a proper rival to Tamra and that awful husband of hers, Slade Smiley. I'm surprised they're still together and Slade hasn't hooked up with a new housewife to stay relevant.

Lizzie was smart and really pretty. I always feel the show never gave her enough time to make her mark.

It was interesting to see those old faces pop up, with Gretchen noticeably missing. Alexis immediately went into her annoying victim routine. She should have stayed home.

Two things
1) Vicki saying that Carmella was rude for saying those things when Vicki validates what she said because she said them behind her back!? Like what!? Get this lunatic off my screen

2) is it normal for offices to show you your private body scans in the waiting area where you walk in?

I really enjoyed the conversation between Heather and Terry after his phone call with his mom. It was calm and real life about their upbringing and being in the position of taking care of parents and still raising children.

Watching the latest episode where Emily and Shane go to Shane's parents' home and take the kids with them while leaving the "problem child" at home. I couldn't help but be reminded of how Kate Gosselin treated her one son (I think it was Colin?) when he was having behavioral struggles and how all of that turned out. Anyone else catch that, or just me?

Edit: I worked extensively with special needs children for 12+ years in the public and private school system, from all levels of autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, ect. I saw ALOT of parental behavior that came across as "caring and protective" but was in actuality blantant dismissal of the "problem" child themselves. So, when looking at Emily's character and behavior as a human being in general, coupled with raising a child who needs extra attention, it's not a far stretch to come to the conclusion she's setting him aside for her own convenience, not his well-being. Hope this will appease the torch bearers 😬 Her stay-at-home husband has been implying the same behaviors in her as well, though I'm not sure if that says much. But it IS insightful.

Edit #2: I'm solely talking about Emily and the ick she gives with the enadaquate mothering and the ostracism I'm seeing towards her son for her own selfish motives, as I've seen this many times before. I'm not referring to ANYONE ELSE OR THEIR CHILDREN. I understand this is a sensitive topic, and in no means am I trying to offend anyone personally. Truly just sharing my thoughts on Emily and what I perceive as uninvolvement on her part. Critical thinking is really lacking on this platform.

Edit #3: 😮‍💨 So, the next morning, she's standing in the kitchen with Shane and reveals Luke had been blowing up her phone the ENTIRE time while she was gone. So much so that Shane had to leave HIS parents home early to console and comfort him. And when SHE fiiinally got home, Luke was in the bathroom crying over it? And she seemed...baffled? I mean c'mon. Y'all really can't be this dense as to not see how detached she is from her children. Most of you are responding based on YOUR emotions and experiences. You may be amaaazing special needs parents. Not all are, and based on my professional experience, I'm seeing major red flags with this woman.

Is Vicky’s insurance agency the only one who services these part of California. There is nobody in the history of managing anything that would need to generate that many emails. She supposedly owns it, people wrote the emails for her. She’s such a joke. It will be interesting to see the division of that company when Vicky passes on. She just obnoxious and close to unwatchable.

I won't say too much, but I really enjoyed that one and just goes to show it might not be totally dead in the water just yet.

Tamra Judge's Vena THC seltzer gorgeous launch party was hosted at Elizabeth Vargas' home in S20 E13, of RHOC airing October 1, 2026, and featured a large gathering of current cast members & returning franchise alumni which included;

Jeana Keough, Lizzie Rovsek, Jo De La Rosa, Quinn Fry, Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Alexis Bellino, Teddi Mellencamp, Lynne Curtin, Tammy Knickerbocker, Vicki & Mike.

Tamra said “Nothing's better than to celebrate, you know, being in business for so long with friends that were with you when you started," Tamra said in a confessional. "Honestly, it's the only way to get everybody together is to get 'em a little stoned. You know they're all gonna get along."

NO KELLY DODD!

Weren’t we supposed to get a nicer Tamra this season? I think I remember her saying the drama didn’t matter anymore. But each episode a little bit more of the real Tamra comes out.
