What Advice Did the OC 'Wives Get Before the Reunion?

After the emotional rollercoaster that was season 12 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, the women of the OC know that they have to be mentally prepared for the reunion. Emotions will be running high, and old wounds could potentially be opened there on that couch. Many of the ladies reached out to their loved ones to help them get their heads in the game before the big day.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Peacock and the Bravo App.

Tamra Judge's husband advised her to take the classy route, but Tamra's not so sure she can do it ("Do you know who you married?"). Luckily, she knows that she can always rely on Heather Dubrow for some pro-tips on class. 

One Housewife in particular seems fairly relaxed leading up the reunion — Vicki Gunvalson. Her boyfriend Steve, who Vicki describes as being "very calm" and "doesn't get flustered easily," passed on some of that quiet confidence to his lady love. He thinks the 'Wives are all bark and no bite, and that's definitely saying something coming from a homicide detective. 

As for Peggy Sulahian, she's not super worried about what will happen. "The best thing is to be the truest person that you are so it comes out natural," says the newest addition to the group. Sound advice, Peggy. Sound advice.

Hopefully, things go well for all of the Housewives at the reunion . If not, Chrissy Teigen is down to play mediator
