Tamra Judge is back for Season 18 of Real Housewives of Orange County. Unsurprisingly, the RHOC Veteran is already causing trouble and involving herself in drama. We wouldn’t expect anything less from the queen of reality TV. In honor of Tamra’s 14th season as a housewife, let’s take a look back at some of her best moments on the network.
Here are Tamra’s most iconic moments on RHOC:
Tamra Judge says, ‘That’s my opinion!’ – Season 9
Tamra’s Season 9 blowup at Vicki Gunvalson is one of her most memorable moments. Emotions were already running high at the reunion but the drama escalated after Vicki’s controversial boyfriend Brooks Ayers became a topic of conversation. Tamra told her friend she didn’t think he was a good match for her, to which she replied, “How do you know what’s good for me?” The response prompted Tamra’s infamous line, “THAT’S MY OPINION.” The moment has become an internet meme. The clip goes viral constantly and has taken on a life of its own apart from RHOC. It’s on par with that meme of Taylor Armstrong yelling at that cat.
Tamra Judge hides in a bush – Season 14
In Season 14, Tamra avoided an uncomfortable conversation with castmate Kelly Dodd by hiding in a bush. We can’t shake the visual of Tamra running away from the conversation and finding solace in shrubbery. It was too funny.
Tamra fights with Shannon on a boat – Season 17
In Tamra’s first season back she got in a heated fight with Shannon Beador at Gina Kirschenheiter’s yacht party. The argument featured some unforgettable moments, including her repeatedly calling Shannon a liar and threatening to jump overboard. Chef’s kiss! The moment was a perfect way to reintroduce fans to Tamra. Yelling at her co-stars at a party is her specialty.
Tamra Judge’s famous nicknames… Jesus Jugs – Season 7
At the Season 7 reunion, Tamra went off on her former nemesis Alexis Bellino. She revealed that she received multiple complaints about Alexis’s “rude” behavior, including from an employee at the department store Nordstrom Rack. When Alexis tried to deny the claim, she shot back with the iconic insult, “You’re psychotic Jesus Jugs.”
Tamra throws wine at Jeana – Season 6
Who could forget Tamra’s unforgettable fight with Jeana Keough in Season 6? During a pool party at Vicki’s house, Tamra confronted Jeana for talking about her divorce from Simon Barney in the press. Jeana was friends with Tamra’s ex and clearly sided with him in the divorce. The fight turned ugly quickly and Tamra’s short fuse was put to the test. She threw wine at her former friend and even threatened legal action.
Tamra gives Brooks ‘the evil eye’ – Season 7
Tamra has never been good at hiding her feelings, especially when it comes to her friends. In Season 7, Tamra disapproved of Vicki’s boyfriend Brooks and she made that clear during a party at her home. Brooks claimed Tamra was giving him ‘the evil eye’ all night, which led to a huge fight. There was screaming and a whole lot of finger-pointing. Vicki tried to run away from the conflict but Tamra chased her out of the house. The whole thing was complete chaos. It was perfect.
When Tamra kicked out Alexis – Season 7
In Season 7, Tamra threw an 80s-themed party to celebrate the launch of her new business CUT Fitness. The party was going well until Vicki showed up with Alexis, who was not invited to the event. Tamra tried to play nice at first but after Alexis commented on her being a bully, she became activated. She screamed at her co-star to “get the f*ck out” and basically chased her out of the party.
When Tamra impersonated Heather – Season 17
In Season 17, Tamra tasked the women with dressing up like one of their co-stars for a party. She was assigned Heather Dubrow and she took the assignment very seriously. In preparation for the party, she showed her husband Eddie Judge her best Heather impression and it was pretty funny. She did her best “snooty” walk and perfectly channeled Heather’s refined attitude.
“I’m up here, you’re down here,” she joked. The impression was pretty spot on except that her “Heather voice” sounded a little British.
