You Won’t Believe What Andy Cohen Just Spilled About RHOC Season 17

If you tuned in to the March 13 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, you were treated to all kinds of reality TV tea from Summer House's Amanda Batula and Rachel Lindsay of The Bachelorette. Andy Cohen also had some juicy news to share with the room when he revealed a couple little nuggets of info about the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Orange County

"This next season is really good," he said of Season 17 of RHOC during Monday's WWHL. "I promise, it is a return to form."

Andy also recently posted on social media that he's seen some of the new season and it's giving him a few reasons to LOL. "I just have to say I'm sitting here laughing out loud on a Friday afternoon," he teased. "And what I will say is it is worth the wait."

In July 2022, it was confirmed that Tamra Judge would be returning to RHOC in Season 17 as a Housewife after stepping away from the show following Season 14. Since announcing her return, Tamra has been dropping hints on what it's been like to be back in the group, teasing back in November that “I forgot how exhausting it was! I laughed, I cried, I yelled, I drank a lot... [I] made new friends, and reanalyzed old friends.”

In Season 17, Tamra will be joined by a familiar face to Real Housewives fans: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Taylor Armstrong. She will appear in the upcoming new season as a friend of the group. And, Taylor is bringing someone special along with her. "Yes! You will see [my daughter] Kennedy this season on RHOC," she shared recently on social media. "Hard to believe she turned [four] on Season [1] of RHOBH and she's 16 now."

Of course, this isn't the first time that Taylor and Tamra have crossed paths. They were among the cast for Season 2 of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Ex-Wives Club, which is streaming on Peacock now.

"Here we gooooo!!!!" Taylor wrote following the news that she will reunite with Tamra on RHOC. Tamra added at the time, "Not only am I returning to RHOC for season 17 but my girl [Taylor] is joining me along for the ride. Double the trouble coming your way."

They also spent time together at BravoCon 2022, along with some of the other RHOC ladies. You can check out some highlights from the RHOC panel, below.
