In a major announcement for fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Vicki Gunvalson is set to make a triumphant return as a full-time housewife for the show's 20th season.

Gunvalson, who has been dubbed the 'OG of the OC', had previously been honored with the Wifetime Achievement Award at The Bravos in 2023, leading many to believe that was her farewell from the Bravo universe. However, the opportunity to hold an orange again and celebrate the franchise's 20-year milestone has proven that Gunvalson remains an iconic figure in the world of reality television.
The upcoming 20th season of RHOC is expected to chronicle the reconciliation between Gunvalson and her former co-stars Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador, who had been estranged from her in recent years. Fans will be eager to see how the "Tres Amigas" navigate their differences and rekindle their friendship as the show enters its landmark 20th season.
