During the June 30 episode of her iHeartRadio podcast Two Ts in a Pod, which she co-hosts with Teddi Mellencamp, Tamra gave fans a candid preview of what’s to come — and hinted at a fiery reunion with her longtime frenemy.
“I think that you will see a little bit of a different side to me because I am going through some stuff during filming,” Tamra, 57, shared. She then teased, “Obviously, we have somebody that comes back to the show,” all but confirming Gretchen Rossi’s highly anticipated return as a “friend” of the cast — her first time on RHOC in 12 years.
Tamra didn’t hold back when discussing the unresolved tension between her and Gretchen. “I wanted nothing more than to move forward and not deal with s*** from 12 to 15 years ago,” she said. “So you’ll see us go through that s***.”
As for what fans can expect from Season 19, Tamra summed it up in just a few intense words: “It’s riveting, it’s emotional, it’s explosive. Explosive and crazy. I mean, it’s all the things you’d want.”
Bravo dropped the official season trailer on June 5, and if the footage is any indication, the drama is already boiling over. The clip featured the cast undergoing lie detector tests — a Bravo first — and Shannon Beador ominously proclaiming, “There’s a snake in this group.” In true Tamra fashion, she didn’t miss a beat, adding: “No one likes a liar.”
With high-stakes confrontations, emotional reckonings, and a blast from the past, Tamra’s message is clear: Season 19 of The Real Housewives of Orange County is not to be missed.
