Bravo offered Vicki participation, but not as a full-time cast member holding an orange and she wanted the orange.
Vicki Gunvalson will forever be the Original Girl (OG) of all the Real Housewives shows. She represented Orange County well. Unlike many of her castmembers rotated in and out during season two and beyond, Vicki has always been who she was represented to be.
I'll miss her.

She lost me during that horrible story line, Brooks has cancer, even her own daughter didn't believe him, or her. So Im glad she is finally out. I don't think she and Steve are a good match, only time will tell

I don't think she and Steve are a good match, only time will tell I agree with you FannyMare I thought it was disgusting that Vicki defended Brooks through how many season (???) as he cried cancer and all along he was LYING. When you have a family member that is struggling with cancer, this lying HITS A NERVE. Vicki

Shannon should be next. However, for her it's different than Vicki and Tamra for she needs the income that comes directly and indirectly from participating on the Housewives show.

Without Vicki facilitating a relationship between Shannon and Kelly, I just don't see how it works especially now that Tamra is gone. Who is there for Shannon?
I'll probably stop watching Orange County like I stopped watching New Jersey. Kelly is way too over the top for my taste and Braunwyn Windham-Burke's life is about as real as Lynn Curtin's.

I hope Shannon stays for another season, if not, oh well. I quite like OC, but Gina needs to go! Braunwyn has Vicki's orange..lol..

It’s going to be different without Tamra but I think it’s for the best. I hope Shannon sticks around. She can grow into the OG role now. It’ll be different for her if she stays but I think there’s enough happening in her life that she can be a story.

acookertv, no one grows into an OG role. You either are an OG, or you aren't. Vicki was the last OC franchise OG, but also the OG for all Housewives franchises because OC was the first.

I won’t miss her. She’s ugly inside and out, and frankly a little creepy... from her “Ching Chang China>>>” in one of the early seasons to her creepy cancer lies, and her so-called love tank, she’s always drawn a crowd to see what nutty or mean thing she’ll do next.

LOL.
No way would someone as *smart* (and stubborn) as Vicki easily accept and openly acknowledge that she was taken in by a conman and that everyone warned her about. On top of all that, she cheated and left her marriage with Donn for the conman, and every bit of it documented on TV. IMO, if Donn gave Vicki the time of day, she'd dump Steve like a hot potato.
I've been watching RHOC since its beginnings and Vicki has been my least favorite housewife more often than not from the very first episode season 1. Regardless, I give her credit for putting it out there, making a complete ass of herself every single season for something she directly caused.
Sometime in the last year I read Tamra mentioning her CBD business wildly successful and no longer in need of RHOC income. Add that to being offered part-time for season 15, not wanting anything to do with Kelly and it's easy to understand why Tamra quits.
Now, what about Shannon?

I understand the official definition to identify the first cast members. However as casts have cycled out all of the firsts, others who were well established have grown into the role of “been here forever”. With Vicki downsized last year, that became Tamra. Now, they’ll need it or the show is somewhat rudderless. I’d rather it be Shannon than Kelly.

I guess we see everyone differently, (each to their own).This last season, even as " friend" she lost the plot and took exception to Braunwyn, simply because she was more interesting , than what Vicki and her snoozefest of a fiance had to otherr.Anyway,she's gone, so it's all moot..

You know, I liked Tamra...maybe not all the time but most of the time she was FUN.
Although, I would have loved to see TJ stay and spend one whole season w/o Vicki.
****I have yet to see this SEASON.

Vicki runs a *real* successful insurance brokerage business and everything she has today she has earned. Heck, she had to pay spousal support to Donn when she divorced him and I can still recall her whining about that. Regardless, when it has come to her business, the girl is smart. Most may not realize this, but Vicki's one claim to fame is she has never gotten long with any new cast members, with one exception: Shannon. There is no difference about Vicki's feelings about those other new cast members and Braunwyn, except this time around Vicki is no longer a full cast member and Braunwyn is. If to think about what has happened with Vicki that has led her to her demise, I'd say it's being caught with all that nonsense concerning Brooks. She invested in him and then, doubled down, doubled down again and again believing his BS just had to be true. That man took her for a ride and since that particular humiliation I don't see her willing to take real chances, thus now she's become a bore. Segueing to Tamra, Eddie's health concerns consumed her and she's just not into HWs as she once was. Not needing the income HW's generates allows her to move on. There are also financial considerations. I read that as a friend, Vicki was still being paid as much as 5 times as much as Braunwyn received for participating full time. And, as a friend, Vicki's pay dropped to 30% of what it was as a HW. That means Tamra was the highest paid HW last season and Shannon right behind her. Is Shannon still fresh? She probably is, or maybe I'm confusing that with her in need of the fame to continue endorsements and, of course, the salary participation brings in.

Here's a relevant piece ...
Tamra Judge Unfollows Shannon Beador& Many Others After Announcing ‘RHOC’Departure
JANUARY 26, 2020 9:24AM EST
No double tap for you! Tamra Judge, 52, appeared to go on a social media purge as she currently does not follow her longtime pal Shannon Beador, 55, on Instagram as of Sunday, January 26. This comes after the mother-of-four broke the surprising news that she’s leaving RHOC after being a major part of it for 12 seasons. Shannon wasn’t the only person related to the popular Bravo series that Tamra unfollowed. Others included Andy Cohen, 50, RHOC newbie Braunwyn Windham-Burke, 42, Gina Kirschenheiter, 35, and even the network’s official IG account. She still does, however, follow two people who are considered legendary on the reality series: Vicki Gunvalson, 57, who revealed she was leaving the show on Friday, January 24, and former costar Heather Dubrow, 51.
“It’s been a wild 12 years. But it’s time for me to move on. I’m sad to go but I’m very excited about my future,” the Cut Fitness owner revealed on Instagram on Saturday, January 26, next to a photo of her with husband Eddie Judge, 46. Shannon still left a sweet message for her in the comments section regardless of Tamra unfollowing her, writing, “You will always be my ride or die, soul sister and friend for life. Love you!” Their fellow amiga Vicki also wrote some kind words for her cherished buddy. “We have shared so many great and not so great times together and it has been the ride of our lives. Thelma and Louise …. now where do you want to go?!”
Talk about a one-two punch. RHOC fans were left gobsmacked when the “OG of the OC” herself announced her departure. “Vicki was notified that she would not be coming back full-time so the network agreed to let her walk away on her terms out of respect for her,” an insider spilled to HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY on Saturday, January 25.
“The network knew Vicki would take this hard so they wanted to let her know before making final casting decisions for everyone else next season. She did have a conversation with Andy before posting on social media. Vicki is sad but she understands it’s business and she seems to be looking forward to her podcast,” they continued.

Eddie was bored, their gym isn't doing as well. ( groupons involved) Tamra reminded me of Rinna, stir the pot and step aside. It caught up with her, plus she tried too hard to be like Braunwyn.

Without both V and T, it will be strange. If Shannon stays, it will be interesting to see her without Tamra and Vicki. I wonder if Bravo is setting up a Shannon vs. Kelly battle for the next season. I don't know if I would enjoy that.
