About The Real Housewives of Orange County:
Following a very difficult year, Shannon Storms Beador is doing her best to move forward as she faces the consequences from her DUI. With her twins in college, this empty-nester is left trying to mend her fractured friendships.

Always on the move, Heather Dubrow and husband Terry find themselves routinely commuting between Orange County and their new estate in Beverly Hills. After many years of friendship, Heather and Gina find themselves at odds over loyalty and betrayal.

No longer a Tres Amiga, Tamra Judge is putting her energy into developing stronger friendships and helping her daughter Sophia, who recently turned 18, navigate her gap year. Tamra’s damaged friendship with Shannon is hotly contested as she wonders if Shannon is truly remorseful for her accident.

Gina Kirschenheiter has leveled up as a realtor, but her professional reputation is called into question after one of the ladies puts her in a sticky situation. Her relationship with Travis takes an unconventional turn when deciding she wants to live separately, but stay together. On top of this, as Gina watches bestie Emily get close to Tamra, she wonders if their friendship will remain the same.

Emily Simpson has gone through an incredible transformation after losing 40 pounds and finds herself trying to adjust to her new healthy lifestyle. When she’s not helping the wrongly convicted as a part of the California Innocence Project, she’s questioning the ladies on everything from integrity to intentions.

Jennifer Pedranti is ready for a fresh start with Tamra while also trying to prove that her boyfriend, Ryan, is worthy of redemption. While some of the ladies in the group wonder if she has truly learned from her past mistakes, Jennifer finds some commonality with new housewife Katie. New to Orange County, Katie Ginella and her husband, professional golf journalist Matt Ginella, recently moved from San Diego.

Now ready to learn more about her Korean heritage and connect to her roots, Katie decides to explore her adoption further and meet her birth mother. A longtime friend of Heather and Emily, Alexis Bellino comes in full force ready to make waves. She finds her footing with most of the ladies and starts fresh with Tamra, but she instantly finds herself on shaky ground with Shannon as they face off in a series of high-stakes disputes.

Tamra being the worst friend ever for 26 mins straight.

[drnkendramaqueen]

Tamra is the common denominator for all the conflict in this show. It speaks volumes that she is never nailed to the cross for it.

[BethS]

Tamara is getting to be old news! She is a two faced person.

[williamm.]

Best quote "No Tamra, you have your own version of the truth and I'm not interested in it". Hits the nail on the head 😂 Ik Tamra is trying to keep the drama but it's become exhausting at this point; I was over it like 4 seasons ago lol

[BoomerBaskins]

“No Tamra you have your own version of the truth and I’m not interested in it” -Heather
🎤💥

[sunmoonstars]

The way Tamra turns on her "Friends" is mortifying. Feel band for Shannon I hope the other ladies have her back this season.

[lydiadarling]

Tamra's giving Lisa Rinna vibes.. doing the most

[lorisantana]

Tamara needs to go. She is the most childish, immature, crazy, petty housewife of all the housewives.

[CourtneyLynn]

“Maybe you can put this lunch in your IMDB” made me chuckle 😂😂

[TheTaxburden]

For these women to blindly believe everything tamra says after being around her for so long is laughable. I know Tamra obviously needs the money and fame from the show but for her to be acting so desperate for drama its weird and gross. I wouldnt want to talk to my mother if she acted that way either.

[sunmoonstars]

If Heather stays friends with Tamra then Tamra is going to turn the cast against her. Heather is already defending herself from things she didn't say.

[countrygirlxo]

Tamara is such a liar it makes my skin crawl. The constant pot stirring makes me think she’s not all up there.

[suzie]

Can't stand Tamra, all she do scream. I dont like Alexis, but i tolerate her more
I stop watching Oc bc of Tamara. I just walk out the roo. Or fast forward when she is on.

[erickcarrasco]

Heather carried that season! They all wanted to take her down and she handled it with CLASS. Clink clink! 🥂🥂

[helenb]

If you have to yell 🗣🗣 "I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE IN LOVE" lol you're not 😂

[ruthnoronha]

Tamra needs to go away for a very very long time.

[nikiegirl]

Let Alexis have him Shannon, and good riddance…..🤮

[galeria]

Shannon is and always will be the sweetest orange

[ellasabe]

After the longest work day you can imagine, thank goodness for the OC providing us with this ridiculous clustermuck of soap operatic perfection. 😂😂😂

[lucyluG]

Can't stand Gina for some reason, just annoying af
