Watch Tamra Judge Grill a RHOC Producer: “I Don’t Know if I’m Buying That...”
In a BravoTV.com exclusive, RHOC's Tamra Judge switches places with a field producer on the show.
Tamra Judge knows how to bring the heat whether she's in front of the camera or behind it. For proof of the latter, look no further than the above video in which she trades places with The Real Housewives of Orange County producer James Lee as part of a BravoTV.com exclusive.
As Tamra puts it at the beginning of the clip, "Okay, James, now that we are done with my interview, I would like to get into the producer chair and I would like to interview you."
Cue a title card that reads "Turning the Tables with Tamra Judge."
Tamra and James then switch spots, with the producer noting, "I know that seat is hot."
From there, the reverse interview begins. "James, are you comfortable? Do you need anything?" Tamra says in a professional voice. "Okay, smile. You look amazing! You look great! Good energy. Please tell me who you are and what you do for the show."
"My name is James Lee and I'm a field producer on The Real Housewives of Orange County," he replies. Then, in the spirit of Real Housewives, he reveals what his dream tagline would be: "Some may say I carry a lot of baggage, but I say, 'Carry on.'"
"Oh, look at you!" an impressed Tamra responds. "How long have you been practicing that tagline? Like, do you secretly want to be a Housewife?"
James' answer? "No. I always had that one in my back pocket, just in case."
Tamra goes on to grill James about who his favorite Housewife is, but when he names his pick — Tamra, of course — she doesn't believe him. As she puts it, "I don't know if I'm buying that."
"Oh, goodness — see, I'm sweating right now," James admits, prompting Tamra to reply, "Yeah, it's 'cause you're lying! That's what it is."
The pair continues to go back and forth throughout the interview, and eventually, James reveals that he works on other Bravo shows in addition to RHOC. As for his favorite? "I love them all because they all have a different feel and vibe to them," James says. "Of course, Potomac is kind of where I'm from. I grew up in that area. Orange County is amazing. It's one of the fun shows to work on. And of course, Beverly Hills, that's home for me right now."
Hear the complete conversation between Tamra and James in the above video.
