RHOC season 17 has been greenlit by Bravo. Evolution Media is hard at work securing a cast for the make or break it season. Make it or break it season makes me feel like they are unhappy with ratings this season. Their ratings are not HORRIBLE But they apparently want more. Expect a more spicy tone on RHOC going forward with an emphasis on following organic friendships, established relationships and dynamic families. I’ll believe that when I see it.
RHOC vet Tamra Judge is in negotiations to return. She is demanding a hefty salary due to network deeming her role as a necessity. She will probably get whatever she wants. And at this point, I am fine with Tamra coming back. At this present moment the network plans to offer Heather, Shannon, Gina, Emily, Jen and Noella a chance to return. Don’t come to me later and say this didn’t happen. We go through this with every franchise during filming. They never know what is going to happen until really close to filming.

I feel like they are keeping Jen for the lawsuits. Bravo felons draw a crowd. And Tamra will spill it all. I hate to say it but I was thinking Kelly Dodd would have been great this season if all of Jen’s lawsuits had come out. I know she sucks but someone has to come back and expose everything. And apparently, that person is Tamra.
Would love to see Tamra in the mix with this group of ladies especially since her and Noella have been taking jabs at each other on WWHL. I can’t wait for Tamra walk in the restaurant in the first group scene and Shannon starts yelling “IM DONE IM DONE” and walks away. Big no to Vicki, yes to Jeana the real OG of the OC!
Btw: Vicki’s insurance company is currently looking for an administrative assistant… the pay is not great. Thought I would just randomly mention that. 🙂
What’s the pay? I’m interested/nosy!
The job post on Indeed mentions $18-$22 hourly.
I wondered about Tamra. She did another of her “Ask Me Anything” Q&A’s with fans. One asked if she missed Shannon & she replied, “Yes we were good friends for years.” Tamra has bitched about and bashed Shannon since leaving RHOC. I wondered with her change of tune if she wasn’t fixing to come back. I’m barely watching it now. If they keep Heather and bring back Tamra I don’t know if I will watch. I will read your recaps first and see what your opinion is.
Same here. I’m so over the Heather Dubore show
So do we know the relationship currently between Heather and Tamra? I can’t stand Tamra but if I had to I would choose her over Kelly 1000%.
Same!
I won’t be watching if Tamra is on team Heather but prefer Heather not to come back at all!
I don’t like Tamra. I don’t want to see her back. I just think she is a nasty human being. I know we have had many to chose from over the years, but she has always left a bad taste with me.
100% THIS!
Thank you! I was in my early 20’s and was very disturbed at a woman in her late 30’s with children trying to get another woman naked wasted with her son. I stopped at the age of 13 trying to take other girls down. I’m glad I never had a friend like in high school or college.
That was the moment I started actively disliking her too. One of the most disgusting things I had ever seen = and I was quite a bit older than my 20’s!
I seriously need to go back and watch this season as I never did see it. I always liked Tamra but people have been posting about the naked wasted a lot lately.
I love Tamra. Even if you dislike her extra-ness you have to admit she has been integral to the show year over year. She shows up to work! I would like to see Vicki back to be apart of the Tres Amigas drama but I don’t think she will accept a friend role. Finally Heather can tone down her antics because Tamra and maybe Vicki will be there to act a fool on television. I like Jeanna but I think the show has moved on from her and I really don’t see her being more than just showing up at 1 or 2 parties.
I have enjoyed this season of RHOC except that Gina has crawled bit too far up Heather’s. It is almost child like and isn’t cute anymore. I just wish Bravo would be consistent with the schedule. The aired it so weirdly I missed a few episodes live. If I miss it live it takes me a week to find the time to watch it on demand.
Gina needs to load up her Brady Bunch brood and move back closer to her family. She bugs the hell out of me on RHOC but I could see her on Jersey. Travis would get along with the guys/bros and Gina could latch onto Melissa. There is nothing about her that blends with RHOC.
I like your idea!
But she probably has joint custody and would need her ex’s approval to move the children out of state.
I will definitely watch a lot less enthusiastically if Vicki comes back. I can take Tamra, but Vicki’s screaming is way too much for me. I think her new “boyfriend” would be a lot happier if she is not on the show. As would I. I also wish that Emily would be 86ed. I don’t find her shit-stirring in the least bit palatable. That said, I do like that she’s involved with The Innocence Project.
I think Tamra would be different without Vicki and a good match with Heather and Shannon. Taking Heather not so seriously and helping Shannon relax a bit. I love Gina and Emily’s friendship. Noella and Jen I could do without but I think they’d end up being close by default and that would be interesting. .
I agree 100%- you took the words out of my mouth
Why isn’t Bravo bringing back more of the OGs? They have so many to choose from. Laurie, Lizzy, Lydia etc…
Lizzie and Lydia are in no way OGs and Lydia’s last return was a disaster.
Laurie brought a bit of drama though last return cut to Vickie screaming in the snow. She also has legitimate wealth now right? So that could work.
Oh I could not stand Lydia and her Thirsty For Attention mother.
You are dead right about Kelly. Although she’s not a fan favourite, she totally knows people to get info on things you don’t want it in the OC. And watching Kelly get under their skin is very entertaining 🤣🤣
You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the girl.
I see Tamra’s trailer all over her face(s) every time I see her.
I’ve barely watched OC this season, only read TT’s recaps. I miss the old days. I just can’t get into any of the new people. That includes Emily and Gina.
I would love if Tamra and Vicki and Kelly came back. Let the drunk fur fly!
Getting rid of boring, condescending Heather would be a big plus as well.
I am not a huge Tamra fan, but would rather have her than Kelly. Her voice just sends chills down my spine. We are also dealing with some thirsty husbands in this case, too!
I would love to see gretchen, tamra and vicky
their legends
PLEASE no Gretchen. That dumb baby voice drive me nuts. And she’d inevitably bring that idiot Slade with her. Barf.
I would love to have Tamra back. She would balance out Heather and I’ve always liked their friendship. P
I’m good with Tamra coming because she is fearless and her hubby Eddie is good eye candy.
If Tamra comes back Shannon should stay because they are hot and cold which makes for good tv.
Jen, yes keep her, we want to see her lawsuits play out.
Noella’s unpredictability is the best reason to keep her.
They really should get rid off Gina and Emily!
Gina is nothing but Heather’s lap dog. The only show Gina would be good for is Extreme Couponing.
As for Emily, no matter how hard she tries to execute productions bidding her delivery sucks. Emily is no Sheree Whitfield. As for her husband Shane, he has the personality of a bowl of oats.
Watching old seasons makes me miss Tamara. I used to really dislike her and couldn’t wait for her to be gone. But once she was gone, I understood her role and now I miss her.
Give me Tamra over Kelly any day.
Ok, hear me out! My conspiracy theory is that Andy did get Heather’s egg to make baby Ben, after years of joking about it, and in so doing there was a deal made with Bravo to get her back on the show to market her & Terry’s new dumb show. Her whole storyline in the past has been how much Terry works, so now her thought is to produce their own stuff so in a few years time they can be hands off. Crazy, or what?
Crazy? Yes. But he really did want her eggs…
