r/rhoc

Now take what you will from this, but I am a big housewives watcher and I am fully aware of Tamra’s not great moments ( to put it diplomatically) on the show.

She genuinely seems like a different person on the podcast, she seems relaxed, funny, understanding, open minded etc.

I think perhaps the aggressive approach on the show is what she thinks people want as she’s referred to it lots as ‘doing her job’ but I honestly think what I’m assuming is more of her ‘real personality’ that we hear on the pod is really pretty likeable and people would like to see more of that on the show!

Keen to hear what people who have listened to quite a bit of two ts in a pod think !

Hey everyone! I’m about to embark on the 19 season long journey that is RHOC! Without any spoilers, am I in for a fun ride? What are some memorable moments I won’t understand the context of now but you all loved?

I previously did RHOBH, RHOA, RHONY, RHONJ (stopped after season 4).

So what do we think, is Gretchen h*mophobic, or do we think Tamra is planting stuff

I’m on my first watch of OC, just started 16 this weekend. I always see people talking about Tamrat and how she is the worst. Besides naked wasted (which I think was wayyyyyyy too far and tbh fireable offense imo) why does everyone hate her so much? I get she is a chaos agent and a huge flip flopper later on, but I’m not looking to these women to be role models? Tamra seems to know how to play the housewives game pretty well and seems to balance having friendships and enemies on the show. I 100% do not stand behind naked wasted and think she shoulda been fired for that, and I haven’t seen her return, but are there other specific examples of why people don’t like her?

Tit's my observation. I might beating a dead horse, y'all prop discuss this. But as an asian viewer I think both are true for Katie to be in RHOC. (I just finished S19- not the reunion yet)

I believe Katie, when she literally said she thought that is how it goes with the women at the beginning of s19 when Gina backhanded her by bringing Emily to the coffee meet up (which was shitting of Gina to do). Katie is right though, because she was brought in S18 (one of the more dark and anger filled season out there) I really think she was doing tit for tat, in her own way.

The other ladies disapproved of her method of getting at them is honestly just policing Katie, but Katie could/ should dish it back out right away. They provoked her every chance they get, to get a big reaction. Jenn did that in her second season and she got the respect standing up to tamra (psycho tamra clapping scene welcoming Jenn to the club of real housewives is chaotic af). I feel like they were hazing Katie, however she tried to compose herself well instead of yelling or going mafia on them.

They just don't accept that, honestly the racist undertone here is a bit louder than Heather's shot gong 🙄. How do we go about watching these women fetishizing on asian cultures, alternative medicines and healing practices, but then they can't step back and see how to include Katie in since S18. while if u watch s1-5 when we had Jeana Keough pouting about until she get a here and there reactions. I think Shanon's reaction to the video calling it illegal act (racist without seeing it?). Shanon always over reacting but this is like 2025 and she calls out the only POC an illegal act, pst. Heather Inviting Katie to an event but spell out "in the spirit of inclusivity," implying she is the one asian cast mate that would look bad to not be included but clearly didnt want her on camera (like ew?). I would b like take your inclusivity shov it up ur a, and do ur colonic hav fun at ur event. Like Katie holds in the humility the other ladies did to her, and what, she went out to lunch with Kiki to vent 😭. However what kiki did by going on camera telling gina and gretchen is 🥴

I agree that it doesn't work talking to the tabloids bc Katie should dish it out right where they do her wrong.

Honestly my unsolicited advice to Bravo. They need to find that unicorn of a crazy younger Asian housewife, best is a vietnamese baddie ( i cant believe they dont find one in OC) who will not shut up, but like the viet that isn't hanging that problematic yellow stripes flags (slc). She should be always a fkin red flag 🚩🚩. I say younger not bc I'm agist but the chance of an older asian is that she will be like Katie, who becomes complacent when they tell her to shut up or to leave. Katie is too nice too demure. The sus asians are 2-3rd generation asians. Just get more of them and they'll read these ladies.

I really like Andy as most of us Bravo fans do. However, Vicky coming back. I mean I didn’t like Vicky at the beginning I didn’t like Vicky when she had never been with multiple partners in her life. I didn’t like her when she was pissed about the family van I didn’t like her when it was the 3 amagáis I didn’t like her when she helped someone lie about cancer. I didn’t like her when she peed on the bed. RHOC already sucks and you’re bring the worst one back. Don’t even know if I’ll be able to watch!

Ok let me start by saying I LOVE Shannon. She’s one of my all time faves. However, I finally caught up on Season 19 and why was she such a hot ass mess the entire season? Almost every scene her hair was messed up, her outfit messed up. Does anyone think especially on the group trips (Particularly NOLA!!) that she was secretly drinking? Again, love her DOWN, but it was giving messy secret drinker and she was on the struggle bus hiding it all season.
