'Real Housewives of Orange County': Why Tamra Judge not returning to show could've been the best thing ever
The makers of 'Real Housewives of Orange County' have been looking at a cast shake-up and there were good chances of one of the OG cast members being replaced. And it all started when fans reacted to missing orange emoji from her Instagram bio.
The channel sent out offer letters to the housewives and so far, Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Emily Simpson, Braunwyn Windham-Burke and Kelly Dodd have been confirmed for Season 15, Radar Online reported. Sure, the line-up means multiple drama-filled episodes and increased viewership, but would it have been nicer if Tamra was left out?
Tamra has courted multiple controversies in the last decade and made headlines for her strong statements. But she could be someone who spoils the mood for everyone and sort of messes up with relationships.
A few years ago, she found herself explaining why she had revealed private information that now-friend Shannon Beador had shared with her about her marriage. If you thought that was bad, then the whole naked-in-Tahiti will have you wondering. She was vacationing with the girls when she decided to tour the beach topless, in just underwear. Then, there was a point in time where she got into the bathtub while the cameras were rolling and the footage had impacted her custody battle negatively. Even though she was apologetic about it later, but the damage was done by then.
With Tamra gone, sure the drama would drop to bare minimal but there would be a semblance of order and peace. Fans online seem to be disappointed upon learning that the OG member is returning to the show after all. Most think that Tamra, along with Shannon, cause unnecessary chaos that simply sucks the fun out of the show.
"If Tamra and Vicki are still there, I don't think I'll make it past 1 or 2 episodes. It's a shame, because the rest could be really fun without those two," a fan wrote.
"@Andy this is sad. How can you keep Braunwyn over Gina? Why is Tamra on this show over Gretchen, Alexis, Peggy Sulahian, Heather Dubrow, Lizzie, or a brand new housewife. I’ll still watch but I’m so disappointed. #RHOC #Bravo #BravoTv," another expressed.
"Wow... highly disappointed. If all Bravo did was keep Vicki demoted and fire Gina... not enough of a shake up. 2 good steps in the right direction though. The Abuelas are getting old and tired... Tamra should’ve been replaced. #RHOC," another viewer wrote.
