Oh, the buzz is real! Jo De La Rosa, that original gem from “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” is making a grand return. And not just any return. She’s popping back for a special guest appearance in the season 18 finale. Imagine that, 17 years after she first graced our screens.
Tamra Judge, another familiar face from the show, spilled the beans. She took to Instagram with a selfie that screamed nostalgia, captioning it with a hint of Jo’s comeback. “And that’s a wrap on Season 18! #RHOC,” she wrote. “Jo’s back in the mix.” It’s like a blast from the past, but with Instagram filters this time.
Jo couldn’t hide her excitement either. Jumping into the comments, she shared, “So much fun last night! It was just like riding a bike like you said.” Ah, the camaraderie! It’s like no time has passed at all.
Let’s not forget the dinner that followed the filming wrap. A celebratory feast with Heather Dubrow, Alexis Bellino, and a few others whose names ring bells for any RHOC aficionado. The gang’s all here, well, almost. Shannon Beador, Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, and the newly engaged Jennifer Pedranti are also rumored to grace the upcoming season with their presence.
Now, onto the juicy bits. Tamra Judge has been dropping hints left and right about the new episodes. She’s calling it “epic,” which, coming from her, means we’re in for quite the ride. “I’ve never filmed a season like we’re filming this year,” she confessed on a podcast. “It’s crazy.” If that doesn’t set your expectations sky-high, what will?
But wait, there’s more. It seems like season 18 might turn into a reunion of sorts. Tamra was spotted filming with Jeana Keough and Tammy Knickerbocker back in March. “We love a blast from the past!” she teased. No wine throwing this time, though. Or so she says.
As for when we can glue ourselves to the screen for this spectacle, “The Real Housewives of Orange County” is currently streaming on Peacock. The new season is expected to hit Bravo later this year. So, stock up on your popcorn (or wine, no judgment here) and get ready for a season that promises to be nothing short of spectacular.
