The cameras are now down for the ladies of Real Housewives of Orange County. The bulk of Season 18 contained many messy storylines, ranging from ex-lovers to lawsuits to DUIs and, as always, explosive arguments that never found resolutions. On the other hand, lovely narratives were also on tap, such as those centering around LGBTQIA+ issues, which aimed to show the world how to support our neighbors within this marginalized, beautiful community. Nevertheless, this season is winding down, so the time has come for Bravo’s daddy, Andy Cohen, to enter the chat. This tired man now has the daunting task of hosting these entertaining entities on a soundstage, where they will (hopefully) wrap this season up with a nice, non-edible bow (IYKYK). So, these are the questions I would love to see asked during the RHOC Season 18 Reunion.
Tamra Judge – Do you have any regrets post-filming for Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18?
Tamra Judge, where do I even begin? You are messy, chaotic, and perfect for this realm. However, Season 18 was not your finest. To toss you a bone, however, I get where you are coming from – as do many people who have been victims of drunk driving and don’t appreciate any of the Shannon Beador fawning.
To begin, you have been a solid friend to Shannon for many years. Yet, one-sided friendships can only last for so long. In addition, Shannon is in trouble with the law for her DUI, but she is still drinking during filming. We all know this pisses you off and probably pisses others off too.
However, Tammy Sue, you have gotten hot with Shannon this season, and people have hated it. Shockingly, the backlash is massive because we’ve never seen people ride for a drunk driver who continues to imbibe alcohol before. Therefore, I have to ask a question. Do you have any regrets about your statements made during RHOC Season 18?
And can we talk about your latest lawsuit? If not, Jennifer Pedranti likely will.
Shannon Beador – Will you ever give sobriety a shot, and where do you stand with Tamra Judge?
Oh, Shannon. My feelings for you are so complex. As a human, I see your pain, and I soften. I have also seen your attempts at self-betterment, but I also want to slap every cup you pick up out of your hands.
A DUI that resulted in property damage and a bloody face is a BIG deal. Archie could have been killed. Perhaps John Janssen’s daughter was almost run over. Shannon is LUCKY she didn’t hurt an innocent person. Yet, throughout Season 18, she continued to drink, so I have to ask you about this topic first. Has sobriety finally entered your journey yet, and if not, why? There is zero shame in a sober lifestyle, mi amiga.
Naturally, my mind wanders over to Tamra, your un-amiga, next. For many years, you two were thick. Now, you ladies are giving each other the ick. Where do you and Tamra currently stand, and can you use this time spent filming for the RHOC Season 18 reunion to start your rebuild?
Or neh? Is this friendship dead dead?
Emily Simpson – Do you now object to any of your asks from Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18?
Emily Simpson, you are my favorite kind of lawyer. Your courtroom skills help bring answers to some of your fellow character’s storylines. But the question REALLY is, what is Emily’s storyline? Has she ever had one? Will she ever get one? Sometimes she presses a bit hard during filming. Also, she can’t seem to separate traumas from surrounding narratives. This caused friction between Emily and Jennifer, which sucked.
Thankfully, she tried to repair things with Jenn. In turn, Jenn was able to see where Emily was coming from.
But do you have any other objections or retractions you would like to make following your antics on RHOC Season 18? If we need to narrow this down, let me state two different names, and then you can tell us where you stand with these two women now. These names are Heather Dubrow and Alexis Bellino and they are probably running as far away as possible from Emily.
Jennifer Pedranti – How are your lessons on finances going following RHOC Season 18?
Jennifer, you are a breath of fresh air to some viewers. Your divorce left you financially blindsided as a fully grown adult because you were left unprepared to fend for yourself and the kids. You also got evicted from your rental, which caused friction with your Bravolebrity turned realtor buddy, Gina Kirschenheiter.
You then moved in with your new fiancé, Ryan Boyajian.
So, Jennifer, since filming wrapped, have you educated yourself on your finances? Is there ever a timeline where Jennifer could financially support herself?
Heather Dubrow – If you jumped ship to RHOBH, could you see yourself forming bonds within this cast?
In seasons past, Heather has been on the receiving end of some mean girl behaviors. During RHOC Season 18, things were no different.
Either way, Heather, has several close friends in your cast, which I love. Yet, these friends are not on your same level. Sure, they all have more money than I could ever hope to have, but do they have Champagne walls, estates that make you weep while ignoring your dwindling bank balances, or, wait for it, an estimated net worth of $70 million? Nope.
During the RHOC Season 18 premiere, you opened up about your recent move from Orange County to Beverly Hills. Naturally, many people began wondering if you would eventually jump ship to star in this city’s series, leaving your orange behind for another rando to propagate.
So. Out of these two cities, which one intrigues you the most? If you were to slide over, which Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star(s) could you see yourself bonding with the most? Now, to kick up some drama, how about the least?
And also, are you and Emily alright?
Gina Kirschenheiter – What’s the latest on your strained romance with Travis Mullen?
Gina, you are a fun, balancing force this season, but it was still a wild ride for your heart to endure. You and Travis Mullen have a fun love story. But also, your blended family is always fun to watch. Coming from less-healthy relationships, however, you and Travis have had some baggage(s) (of sorts) to unpack and deal with over the past few years.
These suitcases of stress began weighing you down during RHOC Season 18. Finally, you decided that you needed a break, living-wise only, so Travis and his children moved out. His exit then saw you questioning your life choices.
Where do you and Travis currently stand? If you are still going strong, what are the odds you two will eventually share a roof line again? Most importantly, how are both sets of children dealing with this topic?
Katie Ginella – Do you have additional proof that Heather Dubrow staged a paparazzi photoshoot?
Katie Ginella, you are so new to this series. Yet, you are already clocking in like a well-seasoned professional. You likely already know my question. But I will do my job and ask it anyway.
Firstly, when you aired Heather’s dirty laundry to the masses, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? It made for great okay television, but whew, girl, go big or go home, you said. Did Heather stage a paparazzi photoshoot at Disneyland? The world may never know.
But you knew. You revealed that Heather did do this. As for your “proof,” you showed off a text thread with someone who works in this realm, stating that these images were fake AF. Even still, Heather poo-pooed your alleged “proof”, leaving you standing alone with egg on your face.
Do you have any additional proof that Heather (or Terry Dubrow) called the paparazzi to stage this shoot? Was all of that noise an attempt to deflect from your own personal legal battles?
Alexis Bellino – You have beautiful LGBTQIA+ views. What’s one thing we can do to foster your level of acceptance among other people of faith?
Now that you are back on our screens, Alexis, your faith has evolved. Due to this, you and Heather are now sharing beautiful LGBTQIA+ acceptance stories on air, which I love. Sadly, many LGBTQIA+ youth lack this level of support, and nine times out of ten, faith is the cause.
What is one thing we can do to foster your level of acceptance among other people of faith? This question is needed. The answer, however, might take time. But let’s start, can we?
I don’t need to ask you anything else, Alexis. There are many Shannon-related questions that you will 100% have to tackle head-on, however. Good luck.
Real Housewives of Orange County can be streamed on Peacock.
