Welcome to The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19, Episode 10 recap. Last time, Katie tried to prove to Jenn that she was set up during the lie detector test. And Tamra somehow moved forward with both Jenn and Gretchen. Here’s what happened in RHOC Season 19 Episode 10: “Whine or Champagne?”
What happened in Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19 Episode 10?
Tamra invited Jenn, Shannon, and Gina to Temecula, California, for an overnight trip. While Tamra tried to move forward with Shannon, she realized that Jenn still had concerns about the photo drama. In the end, Shannon confronted Tamra, and allegations about Shannon’s drinking returned. Meanwhile, Heather invited her RHOC co-stars Gretchen and Emily for a swanky sleepover.
Tamra extends an invitation to three lucky ladies
Tamra called Shannon to invite her to a private resort in Temecula, California. Jenn and Gina were also invited to this 24-hour getaway. In her confessional, Shannon admitted that she felt “hesitant” about accepting the invitation.
Later, Gina joined Jenn and Shannon for lunch. While both RHOC ladies accepted Tamra’s invite, Shannon did not. She is “not going to pursue the old friendship again.”
However, Tamra doesn’t want to let go of this friendship. Since her relationship with Jenn has improved, Tamra is hoping that Jenn and Gina will help facilitate an improvement in her friendship with Shannon. Both Gina and Jenn persuaded Shannon to journey to Temecula.
Meanwhile, Heather was working on her podcast, Let’s Talk with Heather Dubrow. Since moving back to Los Angeles, Heather is focused on elevating “voices that don’t usually get heard.” Her guest was Dylan Mulvaney, who is a model, writer, and transgender woman. “I feel for me in my life, that I have four different kids. Different genders, different sexualities, and I believe I was given these four kids for a reason,” Heather told Dylan.
She explained in her confessional about how she is worried about her children. “So, am I concerned about the world and how they perceive the queer community? Yes, I’m worried,” Heather admitted. Fancy Pants is all about furthering acceptance.
A Fancy Pants’ slumber party in RHOC
Heather called Emily and invited her and Gretchen for a sleepover. When her guests arrived, Heather had already brought in three beds. Each bed was surrounded by drapery hung from the ceiling. There was also an elegant snack bar with cookies and candies. Plus, Heather hired Nate, the hot “sleepover butler.” This is the fanciest sleepover ever!
Heather knew that Emily needed a little vacation from the stress that she was under. At the sleepover, Emily told Heather and Gretchen that Jenn mentioned that she still wondered why Tamra showed the photo of her at a heavier weight. In her confessional, Gretchen noted, “Heather has admitted that she’s scared of Tamra.”
So, the ladies went shopping. As they walked along Rodeo Drive, a paparazzi snapped their photo. This time, the paparazzo confirmed that it was “a random shot.” As you may recall, Heather flunked the lie detector test about calling the paparazzi when she was at Disneyland with her hubby, Dr. Terry Dubrow. In fact, this paparazzo claimed that the other photographer at Disneyland was not arranged by Heather. What an interesting coincidence!
At dinner, Heather shared that she is taking comedy classes and vocal lessons. Then, Emily told Heather that Jenn asked her if she “thought that you just pacified Tamra because you’re scared of her.” Cue the flashback! “Look, Heather pacifies Tamra because she doesn’t want to get into it with her because she cannot deal with Tamra’s aggressiveness,” Emily said to Jenn.
When Heather asked Emily for her response, Emily stated that she thought that Heather does pacify Tamra. “First of all, Jenn’s statement is bullsh*t,” Heather said. And she again denied being scared of Tamra.
Welcome to Temecula!
Tamra gave Shannon the primary bedroom, but Shannon felt uncomfortable. I can’t really tell because Shannon brought a “food suitcase.” Since Shannon is making breakfast, she packed an immersion blender, spices, utensils, and platters. As one does.
The ladies were picked up in motorcars to go to the vineyard. Then the group settled in for a nice wine tasting. Unfortunately, Tamra ruined the chill vibe by asking Shannon if she “likes her.” As Jenn and Shannon were walking in the vineyard, Shannon fell. Her heel went into a hole. “I’m never gonna forget what happened last year,” Shannon told Jenn.
Meanwhile, Tamra told Gina that Shannon doesn’t want to move forward because she is a grudge-holder. Then, Gina broke the news that Jenn is still not thrilled that Tamra showed Heather the photo of her at a heavier weight. “It wasn’t like I showed her some f*cking ugly picture of her or something,” Tamra said. When questioned about how Heather framed the incident, Gina told Tamra that Heather used the word “fat photo.” However, in the flashback, Heather used the word “heavier” and clarified that it was “not that she was like fat or anything.” Oof.
Tamra, Jenn, and Shannon face off on Real Housewives of Orange County
At dinner, Tamra mentioned the photo of Jenn. After Jenn asked what Tamra’s “intention” was, Tamra explained how Jenn transformed from a “shy” woman. Jenn admitted in her confessional that when she was married, she would find comfort in food.
When Jenn asked what went wrong, Tamra claimed that it was when Ryan Boyajian admitted that he was in love with a still-married Jenn. “Now we’re looking like *ssholes because we’re hanging out with the boyfriend,” Tamra said. “And Eddie [Judge] is like, ‘I feel dirty.’”
Meanwhile, Shannon was fuming. “Tamra, can you look in the mirror?” Shannon remarked in her confessional. “Because you had an affair with Eddie when you were married to Simon [Barney].”
Finally, Tamra apologized and showed Jenn the photo. And Jenn was not happy about it, calling it “disgusting.” Tamra replied, “What do you want, blood?”
So, Shannon chimed in. “You don’t want to take accountability for what you do,” Shannon told Tamra. After accusing Shannon of making comments behind everyone’s backs, Tamra said, “What about the 10 years that I’ve been there for you, Shannon?”
When Shannon reminded Tamra that she “sucked the life” out of her, Tamra exclaimed, “You do!” Tamra’s apology tour was flaming out. “You have not been in my life for a year, and I’ve never been better,” Shannon stated.
Next up, Tamra mentioned how Gina is concerned about Shannon’s drinking. “Well, I worry about you,” Gina told a stunned Shannon. Wow!
Then “TO BE CONTINUED…” flashed onscreen.
The Real Housewives of Orange County continues Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
