The Booziest and Fightiest Moments from The Real Housewives of Orange County!
The original housewives, The Real Housewives of Orange County, returns tonight, and Vicki, Tamra, Gretchen, and the whole gang are back for another season of… well, drinking and fighting with each other. We’re looking back at some of the booziest and fightiest moments from the first six seasons. By Tom Hardej1. Vicki Goes Back to School, Season 2
There’s a reason why Vicki’s family is always calling her crazy. It’s because she’s crazy. And we’re sure her son Michael was thrilled when she came to visit him at college to throw back some cold ones with the college boys.
2. Jo’s Music Career, Season 2
Jo left the Housewives after two seasons with a record contract in hand and never looked back. Her album was called Unscripted, and let’s just say it was no “Tardy for the Party.” She tried to spin off with her own dating show about her ex, Slade. But it only lasted three episodes.
3. Jeana’s Baseball Game, Season 3
Jeana’s son Shane was playing minor league baseball and wasn’t so pleased when his mom came out on the field (with the cameras, of course) for fan appreciation day. We believe his exact words were: “You’re lucky I didn’t throw a bat at you.”
4. Lauri’s Wedding, Season 3
Lauri started out as the divorced single mother Housewife. She was the “poor” one, or so she said. She did manage to find another rich man to marry her, though (hurray!), and the closest thing we’ll ever see to the ladies being happy for one another came at Lauri and George’s wedding at the end of Season 3.
5. Tamra and Vicki’s Kiss, Season 4
Tamra arrived in Season 3 to replace Jo, and it’s been a wild ride ever since. She and Vicki became fast friends and took a trip to Vegas, where they had some drinks, of course, got a little frisky, and locked lips. If only that could have stayed in Vegas.
6. Gretchen’s Party, Season 4
Tamra and Gretchen were the best of frenemies in Season 4. Tamra even threw her a dinner party at her house and pumped her with all the tequila in Orange County because she wanted to get her “naked wasted.” Too bad it backfired on her, when Gretchen did get drunk and also made out with Tamra’s son Ryan.
7. Vicki’s Head Injury, Season 5
Nothing ruins a boat party like a head injury. We’d like to say that Vicki got hit in the head because of booze, but she was just in the wrong place at the right time. (Of course, the booze probably helped with the pain.)
8. Tamra and Jeana’s Epic Fight, Season 6
We know that the other Housewives are flipping over tables, but nothing quite compares to the epic fight between Tamra and Jeana at the end of Season 6. We’ll paraphrase it for you. At Vicki’s annual fall party, Tamra screamed at Jeana because she wasn’t happy about some things she said in the press. Naturally, she delivered Jeana a “sist and decease” letter from her attorney and threw a drink in her face. Jeana retaliated by throwing a drink in someone else’s face. Fighting and booze! We can’t wait for Season 7!
