Current and former Real Housewives of Orange County stars Gretchen Rossi and Shannon Beador livened things up on Watch What Happens Live tonight.  The ladies agreed to disagree on Tamra Judge, dished on Brooks Ayersâ cancer debate, and Gretchen talked about Slade Smileyâs job status and much more!Â
Shannon on the current state of her relationship with Vicki Gunvalson: âWeâre not speaking.â Does she think itâll ever be the same? âNo.â Sheâs still irked that Vicki denies asking for help, but she says she wouldâve helped even if Vicki hadnât.Â
Andy asks Gretchen what the deal is with her and Sladeâs on-again/off-again wedding plans. âYou tell me, when should we get married?â Andy brings up that the last time he saw her was at the reunion where everyone was accusing her of faking her engagement to Slade. (Gotta love shade-throwing Andy) He grills her on why they havenât gotten married. âThe May 28th date, once we put it out there we realized it was a holiday weekend. We didnât realize it was Memorial Day weekend or whatever. So many of our family members already had trips planned and then Slade got booked to do a mini-series in MexicoâŚâ Andy continues his digging and reminds her that she said she wouldnât marry him until his finances are in order â are they now? âHonestly, heâs doing much better.â  She says it has nothing to do with them getting married or not at this point. âWeâre gonna get married, we just donât have a date on the calendar.â
Andy asks if theyâre still on different pages about kids â Slade didnât want anymore and Gretchen wanted one. âThatâs so not what it was. We always wanted babies, thatâs was never the issue.â She says it was a matter of whether they would have babies before or after getting married.Â
Any contact with Alexis Bellino? âIâve seen her out at a couple parties, but no we donât like call each other.â On her relationship with Tamra Judge, âOh yeah, we go to lunch all the time,â she jokes.Â
Andy says that Tamra said last week on the show that Gretchen is the person she doesnât want back on the show. âBecause Iâm friends with her ex-BFF Ricky, who has a lot of dirt to tell me about her.â  Shannon side-eyes Gretchen and says, âBut heâs not accurate.â
Andy asks Gretchen if thereâs anything she wants to clear the air about â things sheâs been mentioned in, etc, this season. âThatâs a loaded question.â She admits she hasnât watched every episode. Sheâs only watched mini clips on Bravo. âThe truth is that Vicki and Tamra had so much to say about my relationship with Jeff and they beat me up all the time about it. I was attacked and harassed a lot about that. I just find it interesting that Vickiâs now coming on the show with a family member thatâs sick with cancer when they said I shouldnât be on the show with somebody thatâs sick with cancer. They also had a lot of false accusations about me and now Vickiâs in that same hot seat. Part of me feels compassion for her but at the same time I feel like Karma has shown up and her name is Meghan.âÂ
A viewer asks if Shannon and David have found peace in their marriage and she says yes. He mentions that David is in the audience, along with Slade. Andy says Slade lost 15 pounds and Gretchen giggles âhe did?â and says she didnât even know thatâŚ
The first caller tells Gretchen she loves her, âbut does Slade have a job?!â Gretchen laughs it off and says âYes he does and he actually always had a job, he just went through a really tough period like everybody else in the country did that lost their jobs.â  Andy prods and asks what heâs doing. She says Slade is working for a Tech company. Â
The next caller asks Shannon if she knows why Vicki and Brooks broke up. âDo I know their ins and outs? No, because I didnât speak to her before it happened. From what Iâve heard is that theyâve had struggles in their relationship back and forth. I think theyâll probably get back together if you look at history but I donât know the inside info.âÂ
When they come back from commercial Andy outs the ladies for having a spat during the break! Thereâs some major tension. Gretchen tries to laugh it off as âdifference of opinion on Tamraâ but Andy says they really got into it. Gretchen told Shannon she âdrank the kool-aidâ. Shannon says âI drank no kool-aid.â They had a tiff over Shannonâs comment about Tamraâs friend Ricky. Shannon thinks heâs full of it and that Tamra has changed but Gretchen doesnât think so. âShe (Shannon) didnât go through the five years of torture that Tamra put me through and I understand where sheâs coming from and thatâs okay.âÂ
A viewer wants to know why Shannon is defending Tamra after she burned Shannon. âIâve seen the transformation. Iâve spent a lot of time with her and she went through a lot and weâre close right now. Iâm a very good judge of character. Weâre in a good space and sheâs a good person.â
Andy says to Gretchen that she and Tamra were very good friends at one time. âI thought. I was in the same position, I thought she was the same person that sheâs (Shannon) describing right now and I found out very quickly that she wasnât and unfortunately Iâve learned a lot of things since the show about what she was up to and conniving things she was doing and it was hard to hear.âÂ

Another caller asks Shannon about her marriage â if itâs gotten stronger. She says itâs back to the place it was when they first got married and are in a better place.
Gretchenâs opinion on the Brooks cancer debate: âIâm not a doctor so I donât know whether he has cancer or not but I do say thereâs a lot of shady shade going on. For me, when Jeff was sick, I wanted help from everyone around me and if someone was questioning me, I wouldâve brought up medical records in 5.2 seconds. I donât blame the women for questioning it.â
Then they play a game with half naked guys on the stage and when itâs prize time â Sonja Morgan pops in to hand them out. And apparently brought along a 22 year old hottie with her as a date.Â
A caller asks how Sladeâs brother Kent is doing. Gretchen says he cut the mullet.Â
Another viewer asks how Shannon felt when her daughter said she was the queen of fun..at drinking. Shannon stumbles on words, trying to say that her daughter meant when they go out and is adamant that she doesnât drink much at all at home.Â
Shannon says that Meghan has CIA in her blood and goes way deeper than she ever personally would to find out whatâs going on but she doesnât know why itâs Meghanâs mission to out the cancer.
