Tamra Judge may have turned in her orange on Real Housewives of Orange County, but she is still in the mix. Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra both decided to leave after Season 14 when they were demoted. In fact, Tamra was offered a three-episode contract to conclude her story line on RHOC.
Tamra changes her mind daily about if she would ever return to RHOC. In October of 2021, Tamra responded to a fan in an Instagram Story about whether she would be back for Season 16. “Sorry, not happening! Concentrating on the future not the past,” Tamra said.
Tamra has faithfully kept up with her feud with Shannon Beador. Tamra claimed that she “protected” Shannon. “Any time anybody went after her or accused her of something that she did, I would back her up, like ‘she didn’t do that’ or ‘that’s not true,’” Tamra explained. Tamra lied? I am shocked!
In the tell-all book, Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of the Real Housewives from the People Who Lived It, Tamra explained how Heather Dubrow made the franchise more elegant. Tamra stated, “She had the best homes, the best parties, the best trip ideas. Her husband [Terry Dubrow] was a character.”

Heather, who made her return to elevate the sinking franchise, almost persuaded Tamra to film for Season 16. “I actually invited Tamra to a party this season and, unfortunately, it didn’t work out,” Heather revealed. It’s no secret that Tamra enjoys working with Heather.
Reality Blurb! reported that Tamra revealed why she didn’t film with Heather on her podcast, Two T’s in a Pod. Tamra’s co-host is Teddi Mellencamp, who was a former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member.
Tamra shared, “I was asked to come back for a couple of scenes this season and I almost did it just because of my love of Heather and I wanted to support her at one of her parties.” So why didn’t Tamra film with Heather? Her husband, Eddie Judge, didn’t think it was a good idea.
“Actually Eddie [said], he’s like, ‘Don’t do that. You’re full salary for something like this because you know you’re going to get into it with Shannon. Don’t do it,’” Tamra explained.

If you need to get your Tamra or Vicki fix, the duo signed on for Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 2, which is set at Real Housewives of New York alum Dorinda Medley’s estate in the Bezerkshires. I love the Bezerkshires! Vicki and Tamra will be whooping it up with Jill Zarin, former RHOBH stars Brandi Glanville and Taylor Armstrong, and Real Housewives of Atlanta alums Phaedra Parks and Eva Marcille.
