The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 came to an end Monday night, and with the finale, did viewers witness the end of Vicki and Brooks?
If The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 Episode 19 taught us anything, it’s that even a baptism cannot cleanse this show of insanity.
Tamra Barney’s after-baptism party (for real) was the scene of a season finale confrontation that had been brewing all season between her co-stars.
Vicki Gunvalson, Shannon Beador and Meghan King Edmonds all came to celebrate Tamra, but their ongoing beef was too intense to suppress.
Ironically, or perhaps not, Vicki invoked religion in the middle of the event to counter allegations that her boyfriend Brooks Ayers is faking cancer.
“Satan is the author of confusion,” she said at one point last night.
“I know the truth. And I will pray for everyone that’s confused.”
That would be … virtually everyone else, as you know if you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online or read any celebrity gossip.
As Vicki plotted to leave the party as soon as humanly possible to avoid revisiting any more “negativity,” her opponents plotted their next moves.
Those being … how to keep stirring the pot regarding Brooks?
Shady as Brooks has been in the past, it does seem like they have it out for him by constantly harping on this, and the season finale was no exception.
Vicki’s brother, Billy, and his girlfriend, Rhonda, got into the mix, defending Brooks and telling the skeptics that yes, Ayers has cancer, move on.
When they weren’t buying it, Rhonda touched upon Shannon Beador’s marital problems, at which point she pretty much flipped her f–king s–t.
It was actually uncomfortable to watch Shannon’s vitriol at Vicki, whom she believed betrayed the secrets of what she and David are going through.
Soon enough, Vicki was bawling to the cameras about her mother’s death, Brooks’ cancer, and the fact that her quote-unquote friends have it out for her.
“You know what the truth is? I’m not doing good,” Gunvalson said through tears. “I’m really, really sad and all this stuff is just disgusting minutiae.”
“They can do all the detective work they want. ‘Let’s say he’s faking cancer, let’s just say he’s faking cancer.’ What would that have to do with me?”
In the epilogue, we learn that the Dubrows’ house is behind schedule (tragic), while the reborn Tamra is still involved in real estate, and in church.
Both Shannon Beador and Meghan King Edmonds are doing better in their marriages, and as for Gunvalson, in the aftermath of all of this chaos?!
Will we ever know if Ayers lied or what went on behind the scenes? Will next week’s reunion be the most explosive event in Bravo history?
Stay tuned.
