The Real Housewives of Orange County (S18)

he/him
I just got through the rest of the season. Joe Biden better give Shannon Storms Door Beador the Presidential Medal of Freedom after surviving that. Tamra & Heather are straight-up evil but I have to commend Tamra for somehow making it through the reunion unscathed & the last scene setting up a redemption. We're definitely getting Tamra's hilling season next & I hope it's as iconic as her getting baptised as every moment of her being a demon to everyone is playing.

Love Katie & our broke queen Jenn. Alexis had her Monica season. The perfect disaster for 1 season but as soon as her remaining allies started laughing at her, it was over. No one wants to see that nasty wedding. I wanted her back for years because it seemed like she actually grew up but as @johnny_tsunami said, she somehow came back and set women's rights back another few centuries. Maybe call her up when she inevitibly gets divorced again, but that's enough for now.
 
Honestly? Tamra was an absolute terror this season and her coming out relatively unscathed is...impressive as hell. She is a demon but her unfathomable resilience is almost surreal. I know my thithy @1991 understands.

Other than Shannon, Tamra was the biggest winner this reunion just by not coming across as a complete cave-dwelling cretin.

Biggest losers? Obviously Alexis and Heather.

Emily's YOU'RE THE DUMBEST GIRL I'VE EVER MET should get her an orange again. SAWRY!
Only watched part 3 last night but I'm in complete agreement with this.

It's madness to me that Tamra behaved appallingly all season long and got the easiest time at the reunion? You'd think Jen and Katie were the villains this year. Andy was firmly in her corner, which I expected but not to the extent where he didn't even grill her? I'm almost back to stanning because that was a masterclass in how to escape out of all accountability.

The person I felt sorry for most was Jen, I think she got no real apology from Tamra at the reunion and it's clear both she and Katie (the latter especially) will be on the outs with the group next year.

Great season though, it can stand with season 10, 11 and 14 among their all-time best.

Don't know why, but I'm finally getting around to the Reunion final part, and thankgod Shannon had it in her to utterly demolish Alexis off the fucking show.
It's only took a decade for Shannon to be able to hold her own sucessfully at a reunion.
In light of driving into a house, and the walk offs (but I don't blame her as it was constant attempted gang-ups) she has had her best season yet.

I stan Katie and Jenn and pray they are around next year. That whole meet-up at the end felt so contrieved on Heather and Tamrat's part.
