Season 18 of Real Housewives of Orange County saw a spike in viewership and Tamra Judge took credit carrying the season.
The data:
A Bravo TV fan page on Instagram posted the following stats …
“RHOC scored its largest average audience in 5 years with 3.1M viewers, which is a 5% increase over the previous season.”
“Kadooze to all the ladies for an iconic 18th season!”
Tamra entered the chat:
The recently returned RHOC star replied, “My back hurts 😌.”
The comment section was a mixed bag after Tamra took credit for the season’s success. A RHOC fan wrote, “Queen 👑👑,” while another said, “Girl, stop 🙄.”
Another social media user dropped, “I’m sure it does. The fans are mad but, we all know you’re the reason for it. Keep stepping on necks, Tam” in the comments while another penned, “Do you genuinely believe you carried the season? You’re at like 5. Even the friend of did more than you.”
Bravoholics were overwhelmingly Team Shannon!
From what I noticed, Orange County fans credited Shannon Beador for season 18’s success.
- you mean Shannon’s back hurts. Tamra, you didn’t even have a storyline of your own
- girl please Shannon been carrying this show
- you mean Shannon’s back, you literally cracked it in half
- would think it was Shannon’s back with all the stabbing but sure…
- you mean Shannon’s from stabbing her. But it tracks that you want the credit.
Let’s talk about Tamra’s autism claim:
Tammy Sue got the world talking after she blamed her vile behaviors on being autistic. Never forget, she claimed she was diagnosed with being “on the spectrum” after one session with a therapist.
I think it’s worth noting … I attended TWOTSCON in November, the month after Tanra ruffled feathers with her insensitive and ignorant “diagnosis.”
Not a peep about Tamra’s austism diagnosis was made during the Two T’s In a Pod live show. In fact, fans who wanted to ask questions had to get their questions approved before going up to the mic. My gut told me that it was to keep Tammy Sue’s autism “diagnosis” a moot point from the live show.
