Season 19 of The Real Housewives of Orange County still has a ways to go, but Tamra Judge already has her eyes on Season 20. It’s a milestone for the Housewives franchise, and she thinks it calls for something special. She wants to see her old pal Vicki Gunvalson back on the show for the landmark season.
Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp also want Vicki Gunvalson on their podcast
Over the last few weeks, Tamra has been dropping little hints that she wants to see Vicki back in the fold. The other day, she clapped back at Jennifer Pedranti in an Instagram comment and referred to RHOC as “Vicki’s show.” Plus, she’s been sharing nostalgic clips on Twitter/X, showing some classic moments between the two. She’s missing Vicki, and during a recent episode of Two Ts in a Pod, she got straight to the point.
“People have sent me some messages about this,” Tamra began. “They would like to see Vicki Gunvalson in the TWO seat.”
Immediately, Teddi Mellencamp loved the idea. She also noted that Vicki was the first guest on their podcast. Of course, there have been some bumps in the road with Vicki since then, but it seems like the Two Ts are ready to put that behind them.
“Me and Vicki, you know, we’ve had an up and down friendship, but we’ve known each other 20 years, and we’ve been good friends,” Tamra continued.
She added, “Vicki is the type of person who can say, ‘You know what, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have done that,’ and that’s why I love her so much.”
Tamra went on to say that she not only wants to see Vicki on the pod, but she also wants her back on Bravo for the landmark Season 20 of RHOC. As one of the founding cast members, she firmly believes Vicki deserves an orange.
“I would like to see her on Season 20,” Tamra said. “I think as an OG, somebody that started the show, I think out of respect.”
According to Tamra, Vicki’s involvement would need to be more than just a “friend of” or a quick cameo. She needs to be a full-time Housewife, just like she was 20 years ago when it all started.
“She needs to be full-time,” Tamra declared. “I know how her brain thinks. Can you imagine someone that started the show, and you’re just a friend of?”
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo. Stream it the next day on Peacock or Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
