Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County is coming to a close. The cast members laughed, they cried (a lot), but most of all, they yelled at each other. Overall, this season felt more like the original RHOC than recent ones. Of course, Alexis Bellino returned as a friend of the cast, and Katie Ginella made her debut as a housewife. Plus, John Janssen was rebranded as Johnny J. by Alexis, his current fiancée. There was a ton of juicy drama, with much of it centered around Jennifer Pedranti and her boyfriend, now fiancé, Ryan Boyajian.
RHOC Season 18, Episode 17 sneak peek: Alexis Bellino is giving Jennifer Pedranti and Ryan Boyajian a party
Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter are waiting at an ax-throwing gallery for Shannon Beador and Jenn. When Jenn arrived, she showed off her enormous engagement ring from Ryan. You could see that ring from space!
Suddenly, Shannon arrived, shouting, “Who’s ready to whoop some ax?” She is immediately happy for Jenn, and so are Gina and Emily. “I’ve come around with Ryan,” Emily told Jenn. However, in her confessional, she noted that there are still some red flags fluttering.
In the interest of transparency, Jenn shared that she saw Alexis and Katie the other night. So, Alexis is throwing an engagement party with a “horrible bridesmaid dress” theme. Finally! The one event I could easily attend!
But, Jennifer is supposed to meet with Tamra Judge so that Tamra can show her proof to trap Shannon regarding the background check drama. However, Jenn doesn’t want to go, so she is going to text Tamra and tell her that she isn’t ready to meet up. And she plans on inviting her to the party.

Tamra revealed that she sent Jenn a text, congratulating her and stating that she hoped that she would see a different side after seeing the text from Shannon.
Plus, Alexis and John were engagement ring-shopping, and she thinks that it will happen soon. Oh, those editors at Bravo did the duo dirty. Once again, John joined Alexis for a confessional interview. “I’ve never been more confident of anything in my life. We will be together for the rest of our lives,” Johnny J. stated. Then cut to footage dated 2023, where John is seated next to Shannon. He told the group, “I’ve never loved anybody as deeply as I love her.” Welp.
Of course, Tamra still wants to address with Jenn how Shannon only showed a snippet of the full-text message. “All you need to do is bring the proof. The proof is in the pudding. Bring the pudding, babe!” Alexis told Tamra.
The next clip is a headline from US Weekly, which reads, “RHOC star Jennifer Pedranti’s Fiance Ryan Boyajian Is Connected to Shohei Ohtani Gambling Scheme.” In this clip, we see Jenn talking to Ryan. “It’s going to be a f*cking bloodbath for me,” she told him. Meanwhile, Tamra met with some of her co-stars. “I’m right about Ryan,” she said as she slipped a cap reading “FBI” on. Ryan certainly has some explaining to do, as Emily noted in a voiceover that he is allegedly accused of money laundering.
Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 finale airs on Thursday, October 31 at 9/8c on Bravo.
