Subject: RHOC Season 20 Incoming…
Spill It to BravoandCocktails.com:
Vicki Gunvalson will officially be joined by Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow, Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Jennifer Pedranti for RHOC Season 20, which is set to begin filming in late winter/early spring 2026. Emily Simpson, Katie Ginella, and Gretchen Rossi are “on the bubble,” meaning their returns are still being evaluated. Evolution Media wants Gretchen back (which explains why they helped her clean up the social media scandal storyline), but are unsure how it’ll realistically work with Tamra. Producers are also looking to add one brand-new Housewife to the ensemble.
As previously reported, Jeana Keough, Jo De La Rosa, Lauri Peterson, Kimberly Bryant, and Alexis Bellino will appear in guest roles and special scenes throughout the season.

Bring Jo back! I want to see Gretchen’s skin crawl.
Katie better only be on the bubble because she’s deciding
As soon as yall said Vickie was coming back I was disappointed. To see Alexis’ name even as a possibility is a bit cringe but I guess they wanna catch up since she & Johnny got married. But not Gretchen, too??? Ugh – it’s all too much….
Wow
Not Tamra! She is so toxic she makes the show unwatchable.
Bring back Katie and let’s see how it plays out with Jen. That would be interesting.
Gina really… No storyline
So excited about Vicky but I was hoping for Katie and Emily instead of Tamra. Bravocon and reunion just made me so over Tamra. I don’t think you need Tamara as a villain if you have Emily and Katie, but that’s just my opinion.
Why is Tamra included? She can be a friend of.
Not Tamra again 😭
It is season 20, I want them all back this season!
Send Camille to the OC. She would fit in well with Vicki, Shannon and Tamara and has more money to narrow the wealth gap with Heather. Cut Emily and Katie and send Gina to NYC or In The City.
Adrianna in Miami, has done more as a friend of then E or G have in their hole tenure as a housewifes.
I really like Emily, she has been helping to stir the pot and worked hard trying to get people to mend fences. Not sure why they’d get rid of her?
I think it’s time to let Gina go
Imma have to bow out watching. I just can’t handle Tamara anymore.
Please no with Gretchen!
Tamra and Vicky are so toxic
No Gina or Emily or Jenn. They have no storylines.
Oh, no thank you! Nail in the coffin.
Not sure how Gina has stuck around for so long without giving any iconic moments… her Emily Gretchen and Heather (gives us nothing also) can all go and Shannon can get demoted
I must admit, watching Emily has become quite exhausting due to her constant bullying and always never admitting her faults and being rude. On the other hand, Jenn’s presence doesn’t seem to add much to the show either, tired to watching her that she’s never wrong about anything. They can go.
I believe bringing back some of the original cast members like Jo and Kelly could greatly enhance the viewing experience. Additionally, introducing a new housewife could provide a fresh and exciting dynamic. I hope you consider these suggestions to improve the show for all its loyal fans.
I understand that the show needs a villain, but Tamra has become so toxic that watching her is no longer fun, just sad. The only housewife out there more toxic than Tamra is Vicki. I enjoyed the show so much more without her on it. It’s disappointing that such disgusting behavior is being rewarded. I’m out.
Omg nooo emily 🙁 I hope they keep her , I love what she brings to the group
Please please please NO TAMRA! I literally can not watch her one more season.
