In case you somehow haven’t heard, Real Housewives of Orange County is back baby. And by back, I mean Heather Dubrow has made her return and is here to (hopefully) save the show. Fancy Pants is back and hit it off right away with Gina Kirschenheiter, who can appreciate ogling at Heather’s life of luxury (a woman true to my own heart). Now that Kelly Dodd is out of the picture, Heather can focus on her seemingly always drama-filled relationship with Shannon Beador. Yippeee. There are also quite a few newbies in the mix ready to stir the pot and bring some fresh drama to the OC that it so desperately needed.
It’s weird that Shannon and Heather are back together after their history on the show. We know Shannon’s old RHOC pals aren’t exactly close with her these days. In fact, it’s totally the opposite — Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson can’t stand her and aren’t afraid to call her out whenever asked. So it’ll be interesting to see if Heather and Shannon will repair their rocky relationship, or if HD will succeed at taking the Beadors down, or whatever Shannon’s so afraid of.
As for the newbies, the most interesting thing we know thus far is that Braunwyn Windham Burke was replaced by not one, but TWO of her old friends. That’s gotta sting for someone who loves fame as much as her. Noella Bergener and Braunwyn have a past but aren’t exactly buddy-buddy these days. And Dr. Jen Armstrong, an OC plastic surgeon, also attended Braunwyn’s vow renewal to Sean Burke. While Braunwyn didn’t leave RHOC on good terms with basically anyone, Shannon recently gave her two cents on Boringwyn’s friends joining RHOC. The girl needs allies, so some positive press about the newbies seems like a Shannon tactic.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Shannon spoke of Braunwyn’s buddies ripping her orange right out of her fingertips. “I mean, that would be tough, to Braunwyn’s defense,” Shannon said. Since when does Shannon have sympathy for Braunwyn? Oh I forgot, she’s a flip-flopper — just look at her phony relationship with Kelly Fraud. It’s all coming back to me now.
Shannon said it took her a bit to get to know Dr. Jen, the other plastic surgeon in the group (Terry Dubrow 4 Life, though). “And my first impressions — and I’ve said this often — ballsy. Ballsy. A go-getter,” Shannon said of Jen. “But now that we’ve gotten to know her better, I really get along. I really like her.” OK Shannon do you like her because you want to be friends with her, or because you need to remain relevant in the group to stay on the show? With Shannon, we will never know.
