The Real Housewives of Orange County

Changes are coming to The Real Housewives of Orange County.

This much is a certainty.

Okay, look.

This much we can say for certain:

An unconfirmed but very believable report claimed that Bravo was shaking up the RHOC cast.

The most obvious alleged decision was that Kelly Dodd would be fired.

What appeared to be overwhelmingly joyous news came to The Real Housewives of Orange County fans this week.

A very believable report announced that Bravo was cleaning house in a major RHOC casting shakeup.

The expectations of a major casting shakeup for The Real Housewives of Orange County can barely be called "rumors."

The calls for it are almost universal, on Twitter and from Andy Cohen himself.

In July of last year, David Beador and Lesley Ann Cook announced that they were expecting their first child together.

Both were already parents from previous relationships, and three months later, the two were married.

Real Housewives of Orange County star Kelly Dodd's ill will tour of bad behavior in 2020 has tarnished her image forever.

She does not like wearing masks, she does not like being called out for racism, and will flip out if anyone tries to talk to her about it.

As the age-old saying goes, all good things must come to an end.

On a similar note, the reality television shows - and the careers of all elitists and racists who star on them - also should come to an end.

Vicki Gunvalson will always be the one, true OG of the OC. Well, she will in our hearts.

She is no longer on The Real Housewives of Orange County. For better or for worse.

On next week's Real Housewives of Orange County reunion special, Kelly Dodd will once again say something silly and ignorant.

And, let's face it, downright cruel.

Braunwyn Windham-Burke was arguably front and center on this season of RHOC.

Viewers followed Braunwyn's life from early in her sobriety journey through the pandemic and to her courageous coming out as a lesbian.

Braunwyn WIndham-Burke declared to the world on the RHOC season finale that she's a big ol' lesbian. Her words, not ours.

It was a powerful, cathartic moment for her -- and she has since revealed her girlfriend to the world.

Elizabeth Vargas opened up about something very personal on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

And also very disturbing.

Kelly Dodd has been getting into trouble all year long for her social media misbehavior.

The latest round of deleted tweets has her making defamatory claims about Braunwyn's mental health.

With Season 15 ratings being a disappointment to say the least, all of the RHOC shade that Vicki Gunvalson has thrown is looking pretty justified.

So, if Vicki were to return to the show and craft her dream cast ... who all would make up Season 16?
