Love her or hate her, Tamra Judge is practically synonymous with the Housewives brand. Making her debut in Real Housewives of Orange County Season 3, Tamra became a staple of the franchise.
After Bravo briefly fired her from the show for two seasons, Tamra would make a somewhat triumphant return in Season 17. Some viewers thought she fell flat on her face with her comeback.
But while Tamra has her own thoughts about which Housewives comebacks flopped, she managed to secure another season. And she’s celebrating RHOC Season 18 for one reason in particular.
RHOC Season 18 will be the 100th season of Housewives
On May 17, Tamra tweeted a celebratory message out to Bravo fans. “Can you believe Season 18 is the 100th season of the Real Housewives franchise?” she asked. “We have watched 100 SEASONS!!!? #RHOC” Indeed, when compiling the many seasons of Housewives across franchises, RHOC Season 18 will be Bravo’s hundredth.
Some fans were startled to realize they’d watched 99 seasons of Housewives in their lifetime. Others were just happy to celebrate the milestone with Tamra. As one reply read, “I’m so happy for you, Tamra. You deserved it, you’re the Queen of the OC.” Tamra replied with a simple “Thank you” and a red heart emoji.
Tamra also confirmed a Season 18 trailer would be coming soon, but she didn’t specify when exactly. Popular Housewives commentator, Queens of Bravo, asked if the 100th Housewife would be on this upcoming season. For those not in the know, Orange County’s own Peggy Sulahian was the hundredth Housewife to join the expanded franchises.
Peggy only appeared on Season 12 but she made history by representing the growth and success of Bravo’s flagship programming. With Orange County as Bravo’s first Housewives feature, Season 18 will see the franchise make history once again.
The Real Housewives of Orange County is streaming on Peacock with Season 18 expected to air in late 2024.
