The OG of OC — Vicki Gunvalson bid adieu to 'Real Housewives of Orange County' after a successful run for 14 years.

Fans were not very surprised to hear that considering her threats last season to quit the show if she wasn’t handed over the full-time role of a housewife again following her demotion to a "friend of a housewife" role.

However, what caught fans by surprise was fellow housewife Tamra Judge's announcement to quit the show.
 
Season 14 of 'RHOC' saw fans making some serious demands and threats to the Bravo network and the executive producer to fire Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge from the show if they want an audience.

To say that fans were unhappy with the way these two housewives carried themselves the last season would be an understatement. Although Vicki brought in loads of drama and fights, watching her new-found "holier-than-thou" attitude and her unapologetic homophobic remarks were in equal parts disturbing and disgusting.

Tamra for her part was doing a lot of "pot-stirring". She simply refused to take accountability for her actions and resorting to blaming everybody else.

For instance, her bone of contention with Kelly Dodd was that Kelly offered to help Jim Edmonds in a lawsuit against Tamra.

The fitness guru completely disregarded whether they took Kelly's offer or not, and just kept blaming Kelly for her hefty legal bills, instead of taking responsibility for why she landed in a lawsuit in the first place. Hint, it's her fault and has nothing to do with Kelly.

Apart from her vendetta against Kelly, Tamra had nothing new to bring to the table. We have already seen her exposing her body every season, and discussing her sex-life in great detail much to the dismay of the audience every season.
 
Keeping all this in mind, fans were glad to watch these two housewives leave, despite Andy Cohen revealing in an interview that he hopes to see Tamra back on the show some day.

A fan tweeted, "I am thrilled it finally happened. Sick of Vicki's lies and rumors and cancer scam and tired of Tamra naked all over the screen every year.  Ugh!  Grow UP!"

Another fan shared, "@Andy thank you, thank you, thank you for getting rid of Vicki, and Tamra...aka Tammy Wynette.  I can watch RHOC again!"

Another fan shared, "@Andy Happy to hear both Tamra and Vicki are out. The scene Vicki made at the reunion was the ultimate in entitlement and Tamra's yearly quest for relevancy was just embarrassing; ultimately resorting to getting drunk and showing her privates. Past a certain age, it's not a good look."
