As an OG of the RHOC franchise, Tamra's return to the scene is not for the faint of heart. The footage from the June 7 premiere features Tamra as she zooms on a motorcycle. As she's riding around, there are voiceovers from her cast mates and tosses to footage from some of Tamra's memorable moments over the years, including her relationship with Eddie Judge as well as her ups and downs with her friends over the years.

Andy Cohen on Tamra's RHOC Season 17 Entrance

On an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen back in February, Andy Cohen opened up about welcoming Tamra back into the cast for the new season, sharing, “By the way, the new season of Orange County is awesome, and wait until you see Tamra’s entrance." (That's his opinion, and based on what we're seeing, we agree!)

Tamra's RHOC History

Tamra Judge Reunion Looks 3

Tamra first joined RHOC in Season 3, and over time fans watched her evolve as her personal life changed following a divorce and after she eventually remarried, finding love again with Eddie. She’s also documented her life as a mom and businesswoman, and everything that comes with that, during her time on the show.

After over a decade of drama and antics on RHOC, she stepped away following Season 14. “It’s been a wild 12 years,” Tamra shared at the time of her exit in January 2020. “But it’s time for me to move on. I’m sad to go but I’m very excited about my future.”

In between, Tamra appeared on Season 2 of Peacock's The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, in a season dubbed Ex-Wives Club. However, she didn't stay an ex-wife for every long. She announced her return to RHOC during an episode of WWHL back in July 2022.
