The Cast Of The Real Housewives Of Orange County
Okay, let's talk about the ladies of the OC. You know, the ones who practically invented reality TV drama.
We all have our favorites (and our not-so-favorites). Buckle up, because I'm about to share some, shall we say, opinions.
The OG Housewives: Still Reigning (Mostly)
Vicki Gunvalson: The One and Only?
Ah, Vicki. The OG of the OC! She brought us "whoop it up!" and a whole lotta crying.
Must Read
Some people miss her. I personally think the show evolved (or tried to) without her constant need for attention.
Unpopular opinion: I'm okay with her being a "friend of" sometimes, but a full-time return? Nah.
Tamra Judge: The Fitness Fiend (and Pot Stirrer)
Tamra is basically a walking, talking, perfectly toned headline. She loves drama, that's for sure.
And let's be honest, she's great at stirring the pot! Is it always nice? No. Is it entertaining? Absolutely!
My unpopular opinion? Tamra's loyalty is… situational. But hey, that's reality TV, right?
Shannon Beador: Lemon Queen (and Cryer)
Oh, Shannon. So much emotion. So many lemons!
She's been through a lot on the show, and you can't help but feel for her sometimes. But those lemons though...
Unpopular opinion: sometimes I think Shannon leans into the drama for the cameras.
The Newer (and Newer-ish) Faces
Heather Dubrow: Fancy Pants Returns
Heather, with her immaculate house and her love of champagne, is back! The HBIC is always welcome.
Some find her a little… much. I find her aspirational. I want a chandelier in every room!
Unpopular opinion: her "fabulousness" can sometimes feel a bit forced but its entertaining.
Gina Kirschenheiter: Relatable Realness
Gina brings a dose of much-needed realness to the OC. Finally, someone who isn't afraid to be honest (and a little messy).
She's definitely the most relatable Housewife. But sometimes her storylines get overshadowed by the bigger personalities.
Unpopular opinion: Gina deserves more airtime and appreciation for keeping it real.
Emily Simpson: The Voice of Reason?
Emily is often the voice of reason. She seems genuinely kind and down-to-earth.
Though I feel like her storylines are often predictable, at the very least she is a calming presence.
Unpopular opinion: She needs to find her own unique niche and go after it!
The Ones We Loved (and Lost)
Alexis Bellino: Jesus Jugs!
Alexis Bellino! We can never forget.
I found her drama and husband so hilariously strange to watch!
Unpopular opinion: She made good television, and I miss the randomness of her life!
The Others!
There are so many other great housewives that I don't have time to mention!
What I love about this show is, whether we love them or hate them, these women are so fun to watch!
I'll never stop watching!
