Yesterday on Heather Dubrowâs podcast, she recapped the latest episode of Real Housewives Of Orange County, along with providing some behind-the-scenes glimpses of things viewers didnât see.Â
Heather begins by defending how Vicki Gunvalson is dealing with Brianaâs health â like Vicki going to work after Briana was in the hospital. âItâs not like Briana was in the hospital one day and now sheâs leaving her,â Heather explains. âThis has been an ongoing thing, so which day does she choose?â

âVickiâs a great grandmother,â Heather continues. âYou know, have your opinions of all of us, but Iâve seen her with those little boys and sheâs had to take care of them a lot this year because of Brianaâs health issues. Sheâs there a lot with them and sometimes she does have to go off to work and thatâs just the reality of it.â
âI feel so bad for Briana. So, Briana and I talk â we text each other, and Terry has been in communication with her and tried to help with doctors down here too,â Heather adds. âSheâs like the nicest girl; sheâs so sweet and sheâs just got this thing â itâs been going on for years, and they just have no clue. Itâs so sad.âÂ
Moving on to the dinner Heather had with Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, and Kelly Dodd. Heather got sick in Turks and Caicos, so Tamra refused to sit by her. Initially, Heather planned to sit across from Kelly in an attempt to get to know her better, but ended up next to her because of Tamra. Heather also jokes that she and Shannon had to switch chairs, which illustrates how far theyâve come considering they had a major argument over switching chairs in Shannonâs first season.Â
âIt was a nice a dinner. We had a lot of fun. I thought that Kelly and I had gotten along really well,â reflects Heather. Heather notes sheâd been trying to ignore âthe second-handâ chatter from the other girls about Kelly. âI try to go by what I hear first hand.â Unfortunately Kelly managed to give Heather pause.Â
First Kelly interrupted while Heather was talking about her book. âIt was a little rude,â she reflects. âI didnât notice it at the time, but what I did notice is that Kelly keeps making these sweeping statements like âthese girls,â which I find so odd, because Iâm looking at us and Iâm thinking that weâre sort of getting along and Iâm enjoying her company.âÂ
âSo, when Iâm seeing her interviews and she seems like we need to loosen up⌠I donât really know where thatâs coming from,â admits Heather.Â
Surprisingly, Heather is supportive of Kelly forming a friendship with Vicki. âI like that she was sticking up for Vicki. I thought it was nice what she said when she said, âI see a lot of myself in Vicki.â I understand why she feels that way, and I can totally respect that. I think the only thing is that she needs to respect the fact that we all have a personal experience that has hurt us personally and thatâs what weâre basing it on, not her character in general.âÂ
Heather also mentions another rude moment Kelly had at dinner which wasnât shown. âAt dinner something came up about the boat party and Kelly said I deserved an Academy Award for my toast. I guess Iâm naive because I thought she meant that it was like so funny and sweet â like it could have been in a movie. But then I found out later from Tamra and Shannon, that thatâs not how she meant it â she thought it was overly-dramatic.âÂ
âShe just seems a bit judgmental to me. She makes some comments to me in the next few episodes that are along those lines which makes me think that sheâs made these sweeping judgements about me without knowing me.â Heather goes on to complain about Kelly implying sheâs phony. âThatâs just so odd,â she laments.Â

About Tamra and her trainer Mia. âSheâs the nicest gal. I think sheâs had an amazing affect Tamra,â praises Heather. âSheâs had an amazing effect on Tamraâs ass too! I love seeing her evolve as a person whoâs following her faith. I got a little teary watching her.âÂ
Moving on to pizza ovens and ice. Heather actually purchased TWO pizza ovens for her monolithic mansion, and âa few differentâ ice makers. âI was joking on the show when I said I donât eat pizza,â insists Heather. âI mean, I donât eat it very oftenâŚâ Heather was inspired to get a pizza oven after going to a party where the hosts served pizza oven pizzas with salad, and it was âunbelievable.â
Somehow Heather has mythologized this pizza oven â maybe sheâs envisioning Mystic Pizza, with a back-in-time Julia Roberts emerging from the ovens holding non-cheese, no-carb, totally organic, zero-nightshade, delicacies?Â
âI know the ice is ridiculous but isnât it fabulous? Terry likes a very particular ice in his cocktail,â muses Heather. She put two islands in her kitchen â âone for cooking and one for eating.â One island has a trough in the middle of one island to fill with ice, to chill champagnes, crudites, whatever. So⌠the Dubrows like ice, then?Â
Finally, Heather dishes on Kellyâs beach party, which she describes as âbeautiful.âÂ
âEverything was just was really well thought out and very, very nice,â gushes Heather. âHer house is gorgeous.â Heather also dishes about Shannonâs attire and laughed, âShe loves a costume! Just wait until we go to Ireland.âÂ
âI thought the conversation between Tamra and Vicki was interesting⌠I get it: you wanna just move on âcause you want your friend back, but how do you just release this thing that happened? Very, Very difficult.âÂ
When Vicki first arrived she had a long talk with Heather about Brianaâs health. âLook â this isnât Brooks. Her kidâs sick! You know this person, youâre friendly with this person, you have a history with this person â I care.â (Heather and her producer both note how itâs ironic Vicki is dealing with a real health crisis.)
âWith Vicki itâs always like one step forward, two steps back,â laments Heather. âSo, we have this nice moment where weâre talking about Briana â which they didnât show â but right before that she said, âHello princess!'â When Vicki was asked about the greeting she remarked, ââWell [Heather] thinks she is!â And Iâm looking at her like where did that come from and by the way, I donât think Iâm a princess. I wanna be the contessa,â jokes Heather. Â
Finally, Heather reveals that Vicki and Shannon talk next episode, but âit doesnât go too well.âÂ
