B- just flew home from Hawaii and sat next to a guy on my connection flight who lived in the OC. He caught me and my friend watching Real Housewives of Potomac and we chatted and he told us that we need to watch Real Housewives of Orange County on Bravo, and I told him that I’m caught up and a big fan of the show and all the Housewives shows. So I found a couple of things out. Nothing crazy about the show or what’s to come, but community things.
– the community was really excited about RHOC when it premiered and for the most part they still really take pride in the show and the way it portrays the Orange County community.
– the OC housewives are big presences in the community, and he said specifically Vicki Gunvalson is everywhere.
– they love that Tamra Judge really is the reason why the housewives series are the way they are now a days. She brings the drama and they’re proud that she created a whole new kind of housewife.
– I guess when Shannon Beador, Kelly Dodd, and Braunwyn Burke were all living and filming by one another in the same neighborhood of Orange County, the women were incredibly accessible. They were seen together a log and were very approachable and they were filming all the time together.
– Kelly is crazy as fuck in person.
– Shannon’s ex husband is so rich because his company does the construction for all the roads in OC and has kind of monopolized it.
– Shannon’s DUI wasn’t that big of news in OC. He said it was bigger in mainstream media.
– Shannon had a reputation is being a character wayyyyy before she went on the show.
– he also helped Brianna Culberson one night get into a car because she was wasted lol

I live for this kind of tea
Nice intell.😎
These women aren’t a big deal in OC.
As an OC resident myself, I just want to clarify that OC is much larger and diverse than what is represented in the show. Really, the show should’ve been “housewives of newport beach” because maybe they are big there but not at all in actual Orange County.
Nicole is right. They r so not a big a deal. Vicki likes to think she is tho.
OC native here. I was excited for it because my mom actually used to work with Slade, and it was fun to peak into Coto de Caza life. Used to see Breanna wasted at bars on Main Street in Huntington Beach a lot lol. But most of OC doesn’t care, that’s true. They’re like 1/4 of the culture in OC. Definitely agree with the other comment that it’s definitely a Newport Beach thing!
This is what I am here for!
