Andy Cohen Teases RHOC Season 17 and Tamra Judge’s “Entrance”

Back in July 2022, Tamra Judge confirmed that she was coming back as a cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange County after departing the series following Season 14.

“The judge is back, and drama is in session,” she said after grabbing an orange from the Clubhouse during a cameo on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

Fast-forward to November, and Tamra shared during an Instagram Q&A that Season 17 was going to be the “best season ever” and revealed that she “made new friends and reanalyzed old friends” while filming.

While Tamra was the first to share some major insight into the upcoming season, WWHL host Andy Cohen also had something to say about it on the February 21 episode of the talk series.

On the show, Andy had guest Matt Rogers play a game of “Mega Mystery Housewives Callers” — and Tamra was one of the women who made a virtual appearance on the show. This time around, Andy was the one who did the teasing. 

“By the way, the new season of Orange County is awesome, and wait until you see Tamra’s entrance,” Andy said while Tamra was onscreen.

As fans get ready to see Tamra return to RHOC (in the meantime, they can check her out on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 2), they may need a refresher on what she’s been up to since she last appeared on the show back in 2019.

In the video below, Tamra gives viewers the scoop on her living situation (she’s moved out of Coto de Caza!) and her “skyrocketing” Vena CBD business. She also shares an update on closing her gym and adding a new pet to her family. Find out everything Tamra had to say — and catch a throwback clip of her from Season 3 — by pressing play on the video below.
