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?
