The cast photos for Orange County leaked this morning and it has taken me this long to actually care. Mostly because of brain fog and not so much because of the show itself. Also I didn’t recognize Shannon’s new face. Correct me if I’m wrong but it looks like, Lydia McLaughlin, Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Meghan King Edmonds, Vicki Gunvalson, Peggy Sulahian and Kelly Dodd.
Shannon Beador has an entirely new face. Like they just started her face over from scratch. I think that would really freak me out. It’s the reason I didn’t get a nose job when I cracked my nose. I can’t imagine changing my face. I mean it’s MY face. Any other face would be creepy
I can’t tell you how happy I am the Heather Dubrow is off my TV. I’m gidddy about that. I’m also down with Lydia coming back and her filming with Gretchen. Even if it means Bible study is a storyline again. I kind of miss ole Jesus Jugs.
As for Peggy Sulahian, I think she is the one that had some kinda of Lamborghini event related to her husband’s business that is car related. I haven’t gone looking for her. I suppose she will be a surprise when the show premieres in July. I can’t remember the date. I want to say July 7.
So what do y’all think of this group?
Sooo damn happy Heather Dubrow is off my tv as well! FINALLY, some fresh faces and a younger group. I’m looking forward to OC after the dud Potomac has been and the batshit crazy bitches on NY.
Dear Lord, Shannon, I hope this is just photoshop…
Any tea on when the trailer comes?
Should be any time now. Beginning of next week maybe?
I’m glad Heather is gone too. She was unbearable at times, especially at the end of last seson. I liked Lydia and think she’s good for the mix. Personally, I always liked Jesus Jugs. For the life of me I can’t think of her name. Anyway I always thought she was a genuinely nice person.
Alexis Bellino
Thanks!! Yeah, she was sweet.
UGH. Lydia bugged me. I am one who will miss Heather.
I thought Jesus Jugs was the airhead with the shady husband Jim who bought the trampoline place? Lydia is the one who really is religious who fled the couch when things got slighty spicy at the reunion right? The mousy one?
Peggy – her last name looks familiar. Has she or a relative of hers been involved with a Bravo show?
I just don’t know if I can continue when there isn’t really anyone left I like. I kind of liked Meghan last season, but disliked her the year before. What if she is unlikable this season?
Yes, JJ is the one with the shady husband and trampoline franchise thing. I have a soft place in my heart for her. I don’t think of Lydia as mousy, I just think her religious beliefs clash with what’s going on around her and she just tries to “maintain”. Maybe I’m wrong but I am surprised she’s back and given my own little theory, I can’t imagine why she’d come back. So I guess that probably blows holes in my theory.
I was too harsh with the “mousy”. Sticking to her guns may be what I DO like about her – and frankly, Heather. I appreciated that she didn’t participate in the yuckiness that was the male strippers (who were really bad strippers FYI. I think that is why I found it disgusting. I’ve been to strip clubs so it isn’t just that).
Maybe it is that she is also seems like an introvert, so why would I want to watch her try to hold her own against Vicki or Tamra?
I agree and I agree with you regarding Heather and the strippers. I was glad she didn’t participate in that mess, too. To me, that whole sequence was an embarrassment to women everywhere.
it sure was- and I too will miss Heather. I thought she had her own issues, but genuinely operated a more balanced ,intelligent, thoughtful approach to isues,
with less emotion. And more reason. I didn’t see her digging for dirt or to hurt people. She was more focused, generally, on moving issues forward, to tolerate and support her peers.
That will be much missed, given the overemotional, outof control Kelly and Vicky, for example. They don’t care who they hurt or how the do it. If they choose to hurt someone, they are indifferent to the implications of it- they simply charge forward. .
I’ll miss Heather too. A show where Kelly stays and Heather goes makes no sense to me. I thought Kelly was an unstable hot mess. I know some people enjoy that whole spectacle, but it makes me uncomfortable to watch.
Is Shannon trying to look like David’s mistress Nicole McMackin? Because that looks like a full on reconstructive surgery.
If that’s the case, she will constantly remind us how “OVER” the affair she is, lol. Still fascinating how ever Orange County woman seems to want to look a like. At least in other franchises, you can look in a room at a party and tell people apart. I’m so weirded out by the number of women that look identical. Kinda creepy.
The draping on Peggy’s dress makes her stomach look very large. I’d ask Bravo to photoshop it ASAP.
I liked Heather in her first season. After she became a pretentious ahole, not so much.
Lydia is happy, pretty, shiny and about as exciting as watching paint dry.
I’d like to see Lauri and George back. Too bad she ruined her opportunity a few years back with Vicki and the threesome rumor.
And let me guess…with Heather out, Tamara and Vicki are now BFF’s?
Ugh to the 100th power!
Thanks for pointing out Peggy’s stomach (where she’s seated, right?) I looked closer and something was done to that area of the photo. Where the sash (belt) of her skirt is next to the chair, the chair color should be grey like the rest of the chair. but it’s been airbrushed to be cream color like the wall. Weird. Then the color blends with the skirt and gives the appearance of her waist being huge.
I can’t stand when celebrities change faces. But I suppose it won’t hurt a Z lister. Remember when Jennifer Grey did it? Kiss of death.
And Renee’ Zellweger! She is unrecognizable.
I do wish Tamra would have left as well. Sometimes I would love to like her, I really would as she can Ben so damn funny. Tamras mean streak is what does it in for me. SHe is such a nasty bitch. Shannon boil down have gone away as well. She is fucking nuts.
I was over here at the lets get Gretchen drunk so my son can rape her party.
Rape her??? That’s quite a stretch from what I watched. And, Gretchen had to take some responsibility for her alcohol consumption, which she did,
Yeah..some people have turned that night into Tamra getting Gretchen drunk for the purpose of having her son rape her. So not even close to true, but part of the revisionist history that goes on with the HWs and these shows.
I wish Tamra and Shannon would have left, I legit think they are manipulative and cruel to the core.
It is pretty much rape when you get someone drunk and try to get someone to take advantage of them sexually so that you can use that against them.
Add me to the group that likes Lydia. I also have a soft spot for JJ but can’t remember her name…for the life of me! Yet, I can remember her shadyass husband, Jim. Kelly looks healthy. I won’t miss Heather one bit.
Jesus Jugs name is Alexis Bellino.
Thank you. I couldn’t come up with her name. I think Alexis was sweet and completely misunderstood.
TiVo One Pass deleted. I will not give another nanosecond to VG, the Trump of housewives.
I so agree. As long as Vicki remains on this show, almost anyone else seems awesome. I cannot stand Vicki and haven’t enjoyed her since Day 1. She just keeps getting worse. She’s a delusional narcissist.
MEGA TRUTH about VG..can’t stand her phony azz and she’s a liar to boot. UGH. Isn’t Alexis the one who got nailed on that vacay about her ‘bragging’ about cars/clothes/homes whatever? Her husband, Jim, is a creepy control freak. Lydia is the only sane and truthful one I’ve ever seen. Oh, and T Judges husband was nice and sane…Too bad we can’t have a ‘husbands’ version LOL I just had to stop watching these shows for all their bs, lies and outright nastiness. Thanks to ‘articles’ I can kinda know what’s going on without having the fugliness coming thru a tv screen. That Shannon got a whole new face is just,well, ….rather insane to me. You can change the outside but what about what’s inside???? More UGH
Thanks for all the info!!!
YUP. YUP. YUP. YUP.
Wow, TT, I would NOT have recognized Shannon at all without you pointing out specifically it was her. That is like someone else’s face! Yikes.
I’m interested to see how Lydia and Kelly get along. I always liked Heather, but I think she’d be a better fit for Beverly Hills.
I could see her in New York.
I really liked Lydia! So normal and a genuine Christian, like others… cough Phaedra… glad she is back!
They look like the Stepford Mives.
Wives, sorry…lol!
I am floored that Meghan is back. There were alleged, unsubstantiated rumors that her husband preferred she stay with the baby. Allegedly.
I can’t stand Tamra. Some people have good side and bad side but Tamra and Phaedra are two truly evil women to the core, they’re just not good people.
I will miss Heather and her husband Terry I hope she will let him eat onion rings lol
I had no clue who the blonde was standing next to Ms. St. Louis. OMG, T I fell off my chair & spilled my coffee when you said it was Shannon! I’m not a fan of Lydia’s but I do love her pot smoking Mom.(I just got my own pun. You spill the tea and I spill the coffee. Sometimes I crack myself up ?)
Yes! If they give Lydia’s stoner mama enough camera time, it MIGHT, possibly lift some of the spiraling depression that comes with Shannon’s death-grip cling to her decayed zombie marriage (and her new face just adds yet another level to the many kinds of bad and sad in that relationship).
Lydia to me was completely irrelevant why she is back I don’t know. I thought it was laughable that she wrote an entire book about being a HW bc she did it for 1 term and bought nothing. Why would anybody actually use up any of their spare time and cash to read that? Her mum was alright though I felt sorry for her after suffering that rage fit from VGs abusive controlling son in law.
I kind of miss the old days of RHOC when it started out innocently as a few nouveau riche HWs with genuine friendships. Our brains are now tainted and you can’t bring those days back.
Yeah, I remember those good ol’ days when Bravo first brought the housewives franchise out. You described it to a T, but within 3 yrs it devolved (is that a word?) into fugly lies, instigation and just plain nastiness. Even then I think I barely survived another two years of looniness by all. It was my first time actually feeling ‘evil energy’. YIKES So much better to just read y’alls comments!
Lydia is a turn off. I’ve been an avid fan but probably won’t watch it until Lydia makes her way out. And, there was entirely too much screaming last season (Kelly Dodd) .
I liked Lydia and her gay husband. Shannon’s face has morphed so much since her first season. I can’t believe no one in her life has the guts to tell her.
I thought that Peggy chick was a middle-aged blonde not a younger brunette? Am I missing something? They all start to blend together…
I know. I am confused. I feel like Vicky and some of the others are just weird still on this show. I haven’t watched in a while maybe 3 years or more but isn’t Vicki 65 or older by now. Not that there is anything wrong with anyone’s age it just seems really odd for this type of show but maybe a more mature crowd is who watches these shows. Not sure as I catch NY here and there and one or the other maybe twice a year if in bed sick or something. I just can’t get into it. The women always seem too old to be still on the housewives shows getting drunk and acting a fool on tv. As I said above I thought Peggy was the one that was blonde and got cancer or something?
I guess Brianna Stanko didn’t make the cut? Any word on if she’ll be a friend of?
She is Beverly Hills.
Oh wait! No she is not. I guess she is going to be a friend of. Thank God I can delete her and her husband’s instagram it is flaunting wealth non-stop all damn day.
I really loved Lydia. So glad she’s back
I find it rather odd that Lydia will be back. When she films with Vickie that will be interesting..considering VG’s crucified reference in the past.
Oc trailer popped up on my FB page… No thanks..
