Of Casseroles & Men: Vicki and Tamra Finally Have a Real Housewives of Orange County Sit Down
The Real Housewives of Orange County train is slowly but surely pulling out of the "Brooks Ayers faked his cancer" station. Thank goodness.
Bravo's original Real Housewives series has been struggling to shake the ghost of Brooks and it's understandable because he was a central figure in Vicki Gunvalson's life and his cancer (or lack thereof) became a media firestorm. But the show must go on. Viewers got a glimmer of hope that there is life after Brooks in the third episode of season 11 when Vicki finally sat down with BFF (best frenemy forever at this point) Tamra Judge. But before all that happened, viewers were treated to Vicki and daughter Briana going on a fart and poop filled road trip, Briana's hospital stay, Tamra getting loose skin, Heather Dubrow shopping for an ice maker, Meghan King Edmonds giving herself IVF shots and newbie Kelly Dodd drinking her cold away.
Kelly threw a beach party because sure, it's California. Everybody showed up—including Vicki and her Brooks baggage (the baggage arrived in the form of her fur vest. A fur vest at the beach).
