"The original housewife is returning. Vicki Gunvalson confirmed on November 14 at BravoCon that she will be rejoining the series at the Bravos Award Show with Andy Cohen. "Vicki, would you join us as a Housewife for Season 20?" Cohen asked her during the taping and handed her an orange. Gunvalson teared up as she cheered with a "Yes!" Deadline reports that while Gunvalson accepted the offer, she hasn't formally begun negotiations with Bravo, and it's unclear if she's coming back as a full-time Housewife."
""You know, I'm so excited for Vicki," current RHOC star Shanon Storm Beador shared on a Saturday panel as she realized last night's proposal was a full-circle moment in many ways. "And it was really funny... Two years ago, when she won the Wifetime Achievement award, [Vicki] came back to the seat and said something like, 'Oh, why didn't Andy pull an orange out of his pocket?' And he did that last night... I'm so excited for her.""
""We've had a lot of ups and downs in our 20 years. I always say we're like sisters," Judge told last week, ahead of the announcement. "It's that love-hate relationship all the time. I'm talking sisterly love, like, you have little arguments. And then, of course, being on a show together, there's always ups and downs - especially the type of show that we were on together.""
Vicki Gunvalson accepted an onstage invitation at BravoCon to rejoin The Real Housewives of Orange County, responding emotionally with a yes after Andy Cohen handed her an orange. Deadline notes she has accepted but has not formally entered negotiations with Bravo, and her role as a full-time Housewife remains unclear. Gunvalson originally starred on RHOC from seasons 1–13 and made later cameo appearances. Current cast members reacted positively, with talk of a possible Tres Amigas reunion. Tamra Judge confirmed a reconciliation, describing a long, sister-like friendship with ups and downs.
