CBS surprised me by airing a teaser in the middle of the Grammy Awards that said the summer reality show would be returning “this spring.”
It’s not too surprising that Vicki Gunvalson is done with Real Housewives of Orange County. After all, she previously got demoted and said she would only return to the show if she had a full-time offer. That did not happen, so Vicki walked away along with Tamra Judge. Now, there is just one amiga remaining, at least to our knowledge.
After Vicki shared the news, Andy Cohen shared a sweet, sentimental post about their Bravo journey together. And Vicki… took some passive-aggressive digs in response to fans on Twitter.
Let’s start with the good, shall we? On Instagram, Andy wrote, “I remember the first reunion I did with Vicki Gunvalson. Occasionally our eyes would meet as I grilled the other women, and she would wink at me optimistically and effervescently as both of her deep dimples shone. She kept winking at me Year after year, and it always made my heart smile.” I didn’t see any winks at this year’s reunion. Instead, I saw Vicki’s continual meltdowns after Andy continued to call out her hypocrisy with flashback footage.
Nevertheless, Andy continued, “Vicki is an original, who remained her authentic self from her Family Van-freakout through her last reunion. It’s so hard to remain exactly who you are after being on television for so long, but Vicki is one of a kind. Thank you for everything, @vickigunvalson – what a ride. And it’s not over.” Ugh oh. It’s “not over”? What does that mean? Is Andy already gearing up for Vicki return? Or is there some other Vicki-centered Bravo show in the works?
So what does Vicki think about the (presumed) end of her working relationship with Andy? When a fan said, “I guess you put Andy in his place” with some laughing emojis, I assumed the fan was making fun of Vicki for talking all tough, only to lose her orange yet again. However, Vicki told the Twitter user, “Yep.” Sure, Vicki.
Another fan told Vicki, “Very telling…. no thx to Andy. I dont blame you, he really didn’t have your back this reunion.” In response, Vicki tweeted, “No HE didn’t! Very telling to say the least. Shouldn’t have stayed as long as I did.” Oh, girl. We all know you were hoping to stir up enough drama to save that orange before the demotion news went public.
Another tweeter responded to that with “Not many employers would keep someone that tried to sue them.” A very valid point. But, Vicki had to get the last word, tweeting “Read your facts straight! It was a cease order to have them not air lies about me.”
Another fan theorized Vicki is gone “because she sued Bravo under an alias. Plus he’s probably tired of her outdated views.” Very valid, again. But, Vicki just said, “Nope not true at all.”

Bitter, much? Apparently, Tamra Judge has unfollowed everyone after announcing her exit from Real Housewives of Orange County.
Tamra “left the show on her own terms” aka she got offered a part-time role and turned it down because she wanted to hold an orange. And I guess she’s really moving on, completely.
Multiple Instagram accounts, including iRealHousewives, have shared screenshots indicating that Tamra is not following Kelly Dodd and Emily Simpson, which is not-at-all-surprising since she was at odds with both of them at the end of Season 14. However, Emily clarified that Tamra didn’t recently unfollow her since Tamra had her blocked months ago, which is so absurd. Tamra has done way worse things to everyone in this cast than Emily could ever do to her.
I love me some Kelly Dodd, but I don’t think she totally understands how Instagram works. Comments by Bravo reported that Kelly commented, “I never followed her!! So she couldn’t unfollow me.” That’s not how it works, girl, but I adore you regardless.
Tamra also unfollowed Evolution, the production company that produces RHOC. She’s not following the Bravo network, which I get, that might be tough to see when the promotion for Season 15 picks up. Tamra isn’t following Andy Cohen.
Most of that isn’t exactly shocking, but it is a bit surprising that Tamra isn’t following Braunwyn Windham-Burke. Sure, Braunwyn went back and forth between the Tres Amigas and Emily/Kelly, but she and Tamra did seem to be friendly for the most part, especially when they were making out.
Then there is Gina Kirschenheiter who basically lived up Tamra’s *ss this past season, blindly defending her and ditching Emily whenever she could. This unfollow is unexpected, but then again, what does Tamra need Gina for at this point?
But, get ready for this- apparently Tamra has unfollowed Shannon Beador. Poor Shannon. She didn’t get offended when footage aired of Tamra talking shit about Shannon multiple times. But, maybe now she’ll get the message: with friends like Tamra who needs enemies? But, let’s be honest, Tamra was so good at stirring the pot. Let’s hope there is some entertaining drama in her absence.

Even though they didn’t officially confirm it, Joe Giudice and Teresa Giudice have apparently gone their separate ways. They are probably waiting until those Real Housewives of New Jersey Italy episodes and the Season 10 reunion airs to speak out on a split.
In the meantime, Teresa spent Christmas Eve with the “pool boy” Tony Delorenzo, who she used to date back in high school. Both Teresa and Joe accused each other of cheating during that extremely awkward interview with Andy Cohen. I mean, who can forget the many hand-holding photos of Teresa and that twenty-something-year-old? You know, the guy she’s “just friends with” who “helped her to the car.” Well, now, Joe has come under fire after photos and videos emerged from a boys trip in Mexico, which included some female company as well.
TMZ posted photos and videos of Joe and his friends partying in Mexico. Ironically enough, the crew was at a place called Isla Mujeres, which literally translates to “Island of Women.” The photos and videos featured women dancing on/near Joe and hanging in a cabana. Check out the footage yourself before you form an opinion.
After the TMZ article was published, Joe posted an apology note to his family on Instagram. However, he deleted the post soon after. However, there are screenshots that got posted to Twitter, of course.
Pardon the grammar, but Joe wrote, “I have learned about the bravery it takes to be in [the] public eye and how videos or comments can be ‘insensitive and stupid, and I am deeply sorry for that.’ Though, I am on a family trip with my uncle and friends! Girls were trying to dance with me at a hotel. I gave permission for individuals to dance close to me in which I’m sorry for my girls that witnessed it. My girls deserve me full time though I am not to be shamed for talking to humans. Sincerely, Joe #tmx #lovemy girls #brave #standup.”
One person commented on the post, “Watch ur back Joe. Some unscrupulous people out there.” In response, Joe said, “yes I’m very faithful and going to wait.”
Wow, wait. What? Does that mean that Joe is hoping to rekindle his relationship with Teresa? That is very interesting and I cannot help hoping that Joe made an appearance via video chat during the Season 10 reunion. He might as well, right? Most of the past few seasons have centered around him anyway, even though he wasn’t around.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering, before Joe deleted that apology Instagram, Teresa clicked “like” on the post.

Below Deck is sailing into its final charter of the season. Where did everything go so wrong? There was drama from the get-go, with mutual animosity between Kate Chastain and Kevin Dobson. Deckhand Abbi Murphy left mid- charter season, to be replaced by take no prisoners Rhylee Gerber.
A flirtation between Courtney Skippon and Brian de Saint Pern satisfied the boat romance quota, while the hookups between Tanner Sterback and Simone Mashile showed us why it is a bad idea to pair up with co-workers. Slowly, things have taken a darker turn, with the male deck crew and chef Kevin engaging in some blatantly misogynistic behavior. Part of their actions have been aimed at Rhylee. How does Ashton Pienaar feel he and his crew treated Rhylee? His answers may–or may not–surprise you.
On a recent Watch What Happens Live, Ashton was asked if had any influence over how the deck crew has behaved towards Rhylee. He stated, “I think everyone’s giving me way too much credit in saying that I made them act in a certain way to Rhylee. They’re both big boys. They can both make up their own minds.”
Yes, big boys Tanner and Brian can make up their own minds. However, Ashton, as their leader, sets the tone for the crew. And this season, the tone has been sexist, crude and would likely get you fired in a regular work environment.
Ashton went on to explain, “And I do want to point out that it’s very naive to think that Tanner and Brian did not watch the previous season and didn’t know Rhylee themselves.”
Deckhands Tanner and Brian may have watched the previous season, but they did not “know Rhylee.” Only Ashton, Kate and Captain Lee Rosbach knew her. Granted, Rhylee’s quick temper does her no favors, but Captain Lee and Kate gave her a chance. Rhylee’s strong work ethic would likely earn their respect.
According to Ashton, he also gave Rhylee the benefit of the doubt. He claimed, “When I brought up Rhylee arriving, I was actually trying to manage the guys and be like, ‘Look, Rhylee’s coming, but we’re going to make this work.’ It’s kind of where I sit and I was trying to prepare them for what we need to do. Come together as a team and make things work regardless of what you may know about Rhylee and regardless of your opinion you may have.”
The honeymoon phase, if ever there was one ended quickly, with the deck crew soon clashing with Rhylee. Rhylee is a difficult person to get along with, but it was clear from the start that the Bruh Crew was not going to give her a chance. Captain Lee believes that Ashton set Rhylee up for failure, going so far as to say that he “poisoned the deck crew” against her.
WWHL host Andy Cohen reminded viewers that Rhylee had been on television last season. Acknowledging this, Ashton took the opportunity to declare, “That’s my point. It wasn’t the first time that they knew Rhylee. They watched her behavior last season.”
Did Tanner and Brian already have a set opinion of Rhylee before she came aboard? Only they know for sure. Rhylee’s fate on the Valor was probably written during her confrontation with fourth Bruh Crew member Kevin on her first night out with her fellow yachties. Bruh Code means all for one, one for all, apparently. Especially where the opposite sex is concerned. Friendship bracelets and all.

Even though Danielle Staub is on the outs with every single Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member, she did provide an ample amount of drama as a Friend of the Housewives.
She pulled on Margaret Josephs‘ ponytail and emptied the contents of her purse inside a lit candle at a clothing store. She was offended when Jennifer Aydin mentioned her given name, Beverly. And, at some point, she and Teresa Giudice’s friendship ends, although we still don’t know why. It has to be a pretty big deal since Danielle basically lived up Teresa’s *ss for the past three seasons. What could have happened!? And will Danielle and Teresa hash it out during the Season 10 reunion?
Yes, they will! The Season 10 seating chart was released, without Danielle’s picture included, which makes sense since she’s not a full-time cast member. But, Margaret is on one couch, while Teresa is on the other, so where would Danielle sit when she shows up? She’s not exactly welcomed on either couch.
After posting zero photos/videos during the day of the reunion taping last week, a stylist spilled the news that Danielle was at the reunion taping. The stylist untagged the post, but no need to worry, plenty of RHONJ fan accounts re-posted the photos.
Oh and her ex-husband/ possible current boyfriend Marty Caffrey was present as well. No word yet if Marty stepped on the reunion stage or if he was just there for Danielle backstage.
This reunion could be Danielle’s final appearance on Bravo. On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Danielle announced that she is “retiring” from Real Housewives of New Jersey. That’s such a funny choice of words since she hasn’t been a full-time cast member since Season 2 and no one in the current cast wants to film with her. It’s as if she just quit before she could be fired from her (very limited) role. But, anyway, I’m not gonna lie, I’m looking forward to Danielle spilling some tea and calling people out.

By now, we’ve all heard that Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge left Real Housewives of Orange County. The reality of the situation is that they were both offered “Friend of the Housewives” contracts instead of full-time contracts, so they walked away.
After a humiliating demotion, and a just as embarrassing appearance during the Season 14 reunion, I don’t blame Vicki for not taking that deal again. It was not a good look for her. At all. And, well, no one is at-all-surprised that Tamra’s pride wouldn’t allow her to accept that part-time contract. Hopefully, there are enough patrons at Cut Fitness… But at least, we don’t have to hear awful things about her son anymore… or on the show, at least.
Vicki announced her exit from the show on January 24. She told her followers, “I will always be the OG of the OC, but it’s time to say goodbye to The Real Housewives of Orange County. It’s been an incredible ride for 14 years and I want thank all of you for your support, for your love and for ‘whooping it up’ with me along the way.”
And of course, she used the opportunity to promote herself. Vicki wrote, “I’ve been working on new projects that will be exciting, empowering and inspirational. My podcast with Westwood One will be launching soon and I will have much more to say about this on ‘Whoop it up with Vicki’. I hope you will join me with my new journey so please stay tuned.” Let’s hope she spills some behind-the-scenes tea in this podcast. I don’t want to hear any insurance-related advice.
Tamra kept her Instagram goodbye short and sweet: “It’s been a wild 12 years . But it’s time for me to move on. Im sad to go but I’m very excited about my future . Love you guys.”
And, it turns out, she kept her Instagram post brief because she had an exclusive interview with People, of course. She admitted to the magazine, “I was offered a chance to come back to the show in a limited role, but would prefer to walk away on my own terms.”
Interestingly enough, a source told People, “[Tamra] was asked back for three episodes, so producers could close out her storyline.” Damn. Only three episodes? That would be a very limited role.
I guess Tamra’s hint that she would be back for Season 15, wasn’t actually true.
Still, Tamra insists, “Eddie [Judge] and the kids are very excited.” I wonder how her estranged daughter Sidney Barney feels. Maybe they’ll finally rekindle their relationship now that the cameras are out of Tamra’s life.
