The Real Housewives of Orange County: Most exciting moments from the premiere

The Real Housewives of Orange County is back for its fourteenth season – with a fresh new cast member! Catch up on the first episode.

The Real Housewives of Orange County is back and better than ever, starting with the new and improved Shannon Storms Beador!  Some people were worried about Vicki being demoted, but this episode went off just fine without any Vicki…

Fun Shannon got her groove back and is working out with her daughters. The girls even have a talking head interview!  Shannon goes out on the town with Kelly Dodd, but Shannon currently has a new boyfriend! On this episode, she’s making out with a guy named Ken.  Go Shannon!

Gina Kirschenheiter shows off her new house and discusses her recent DUI. Gina says she was shopping for leggings and drinking wine when she decided she wanted to leave.  She was arrested for driving under the influence on her way home.

Kelly Dodd is happy and in a new relationship with a doctor.  She takes her daughter to a cat cafe.

Kelly and the producer break the fourth wall because Kelly thinks that feral cats are actually called Pharaoh cats. They go to a cat cafe to hang out with cats and possibly bring one home.

Kelly also introduces us to her new friend, Braunwyn.  As you heard, she is a mom of 7 and has a blog, Barefoot In Heels. 

Tamra moved into Coto de Caza, neighbor to Vicki Gunvalson, and Jeana Keough.  Her storyline is about her son being a Trump supporter.  That seems like a misguided decision for a storyline, but what do I know?

Emily Simpson FaceTimed her husband and he joked he was at his girlfriend’s house.

Emily assumed he was studying to take the bar exam for the third time, but her dorky husband Shane made the girlfriend joke.  Is their rocky marriage going to be her storyline this year?

This season is going to be a good one, I can feel it! Has anyone checked on Vicki?

What did you guys think of the premiere?  Was the most exciting moment the lack of Vicki?

The Real Housewives of Orange County is back on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 PM ET.
