Vicki & Tamra's Emotional Stories At The First Reunion of Season 10 Of 'Real Housewives Of Orange County'
The first part of "The Real Housewives Of Orange County: Reunion" had very few drama moments as compared to Season 10 in which Brook Ayers' cancer diagnoses dominated the proceedings. What viewers saw in the Monday reunion was mostly Vicki Gunvalson talking about her mother and Tamra Judge speaking of how faith has changed her.
At the "Real Housewives of Orange County" reunion, Vicki Gunvalson talked about her mother's death. Vicki still hasn't come to terms with her mother's death and this has been compounded by the fact that her daughter has not been too supportive of her nor her fellow contestants in the reality show. In a nostalgic moment, Vicki remembered her mother as 'a firecracker.'
At the reunion, Vicki told Andy that she has not been coping well with her mother's death and it has actually got worse for her because no one is around for her to lean on or watch over her.
Vicky was traumatized to learn of her mother's death. It is still not known what caused her death as Vicki and her family refused to have an autopsy performed on her mother, who was in her early 80s. The events after her mother's death have been very painful for her and she says she remembers only some parts of that fateful event, some parts she does not remember and says it felt as if she "blacked out."
Tamra Judge's faith and her baptism dominated the Season 10 finale. Faith seemed to be the healer for her. She explained that it all started when she got custody of her kids. But it was not a happy life after that as her daughter, Sidney, blamed her for ruining her dad's (Simon) life. Sidney refused to live with Tamra. Tamra was shocked by this and said, "I had no idea where it was coming from. She basically left that day and two years later has not come back."
Some time back, the two had met and tried to work at living together but the media pressure got too intense and Sidney was told to go for counselling by the court. Sidney's father, Simon, fought against this and won. So Sidney, now 17, can choose either parent to live with.
Tamra's son, Spencer, lives with her. At this point in life, Tamra revealed that she went to church and said, "It felt right, it just gave me what I needed in life."
Reunion Part 2 of Season 10 of "Real Housewives of Orange County" airs on October 26 on Bravo TV.
