Heather Dubrow: We've Come A Loooong Way

Heather shares her current feelings about Vicki and explains exactly why you need different shapes of ice.

Vicki and Briana's Road Trip

Hope everyone had a great July 4th! Did you miss us?

How to Watch

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

Well we are back this week with a road trip!

Vicki and Briana are fun to watch together...and heartbreaking. I hate to see Briana still so sick. She has been dealing with health issues for years and I hope coming back to the OC with her original doctors will help. Many people have strong opinions about Vicki, but I will tell you this, she loves her family and takes amazing care of those little grandsons.

Tamra Judge's Trainer Is Also Her Spiritual Advisor

I'm so glad Mia has come into Tamra's life. She has done incredible things for her as a person and as a woman of faith....And well -- look what she's done to her butt! LOL! Send her to my house please!!! Oh right, it's still not done...UGH...More on that later...

Dinner at the Mexican restaurant! Shannon and I were cracking up at the seat changing...We've come a loooong way! Dinner was fun and Kelly and I laughed a lot. I didn't think at the time that Kelly was rude for interrupting me when I was talking about my book launch party, but watching it back it seemed that way. Especially since she never asked to revisit the subject and it's not like I was droning on and on...as I can do at times -- haha. I liked how Kelly was talking about how she sees herself in Vicki. It makes sense why she's attracted to her. As I said at the table -- we have all loved Vicki, just not our experience from last year.

Shopping for a Pizza Oven! OK, OK!! I know the comments I'm going to get already...You don't eat carbs! You're dairy free! You don't eat! Whatever!!!! My friends Nancy and Mike Bello, who you have met many times on the show, including the boat party, have a vineyard in Napa (remember the Collette launch?) They have these commercial-grade pizza ovens and when we stay there they always do one night of pizza and salad. OMG. The best thing ever. So fun, delicious and crowd pleasing! YES, I will eat pizza (vegan cheese) every so often. The thing is -- I LOVE it and I love bread, but in moderation. If I'm going to eat it though, it better be AMAZING. Thus, the restaurant-grade pizza ovens.

Now let's talk ice. I absolutely realize this is ridiculous. HOWEVER...If someone is going to give you a choice of the shapes of your ice -- wouldn't you at least think about it?? Who knows -- I did. We have several ice makers in the house so I decided to do different kinds of ice in each. Just for variety. Terry loves ice!! So important for a good cocktail!

Vicki Asks For Tamra's Forgiveness

The beach party! Kelly set up an amazing party, it was so beautiful. She thought of everything! The food was delicious, fire pits, games, blankets. Just lovely. I spent quite a bit of time with Vicki at the start of the party talking about Briana's health situation. The bottom line is, even if I don't agree with Vicki's actions from last year, we have been friends for a long time and I care about her family. 

There are some things I want to talk about from this week that have a little foreshadowing...listen to my podcast tomorrow (details below).
Next week the party continues at Kelly's beautiful home...Stay tuned...
