Happy 20th Anniversary to the Real Housewives of Orange County!
Dom Torres is fangirling, and Kyla Denanyoh is learning so much as they discuss Episode 1 of Season 20 of The Real Housewives of Orange County. This first episode is bringing all the nostalgia and chaos. Kyla, a franchise newbie, is getting a crash course in why OC remains the gold standard, complete with the iconic original jingles and flashbacks that gave us all the chills.
The big takeaway? There is no OC without OGs Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge. They truly are the glue of the show, and as Dom says, “when they're gone, the energy shifts.” Dom and Kyla discuss how Tamra fundamentally changed reality TV history at that legendary lunch where she called out Gretchen Rossi, "Did you go to Bass Lake?" which launched the "catfight" era of Housewives!
Season 20 includes Vicki, Tamra, Shannon, Heather, Emily, Gina, Jenn, and welcomes Carmella Garcia to the cast. Heather is throwing a lavish $75,000 Valentine’s party (that Carmella and Kyla agree is tacky), and Jenn is out here playing dangerous games by trying to stir the pot between Heather and Tamra. Although Kyla is keeping most of her opinions about the cast to herself, Dom points out that Heather is a tree you don't want to climb, and she can bring MAJOR drama!
Episode 1 of Season 20 of The Real Housewives of Orange County reminds you of what you love about classic Housewives: long-standing friendships being tested, and new cast members finding out which dropped grenades will cause an argument or fall out.
Between the scarf-making drama, Tamra’s "spicy" reputation, and Vicki’s international house jumping, Dom Torres and Kyla Denanyoh are excited to watch these women balance their lives as moms, entrepreneurs, and chaos agents.
