The Real Housewives of Orange County Set to Return With Complete Season 18 Cast 

The Real Housewives of Orange County is set to return with the same Orange holders from last season! 

OK! Magazine broke the story that the entire cast was asked back for season 19.

Well, the entire cast minus Alexis Bellino.

“There were rumblings about Katie Ginella not returning due to pressures her and her family felt during the first season, but she was asked back and ultimately decided to return as well,” the source told the publication. 

Season 18 featured Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, and newcomer, Katie Ginella. 

The Dream Team 

Season 18 ranked high among Bravo watchers. Everyone tuned in to see how Shannon would navigate filming alongside her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend, Alexis. 

However, they stayed for the takedown of Tamra and Alexis.

On the cusp of Shannon’s DUI, and her hypocrisy towards Gina, it really had the makings to be a gang up season toward Shannon. 

Sometimes the formula for reality tv works, and sometimes you can’t possibly predict how the audience will swing. Season 18 was the perfect example of that. 

My Theory?

I predict it will be Jennifer and Katie against the more seasoned OC housewives. 

Rumors are already swirling that Emily and Katie are feuding at the top of the season. 

Plus the entire cast went out to dinner sans Katie and Jennifer. 

What I am curious about is who will be brought on? A newbie that can align with K&J or a blast from the past that has ties to Heather, Shannon, and Tamra? I hope this cast can keep the good time rolling because we deserve another epic season.

Of course, like most “sources,” nothing is official until confirmed by Bravo.
