Heather Dubrow Reveals Why ‘RHOC’ Season 19 is “Crazier than Ever”
The Real Housewives of Orange County are bringing the heat.
E! News can exclusively reveal the Bravo series’ season 19 opening credits featuring sassy one-liners from SoCal’s spiciest stars.
In the July 24 first look, star Shannon Beador takes a metaphorical swing at her ex-boyfriend John Janssen, who made waves last season by dating—and subsequently getting engaged to—Shannon’s former costar Alexis Bellino.
As she quips, “For once, the only dogs in my life are Golden Retrievers.”
Meanwhile, Heather Dubrow pokes fun at long-standing rumors she’s trying to leave RHOC behind her by getting on the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
“I love life in the hills,” Heather says, “so I always take the high road.”
And while former BFFs Tamra Judge and Jennifer Pedranti are bragging about their hot bodies, Katie Ginella is making light of her season 19 drama with Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson.

“Life can be hard, but so are my abs.”

Gina Kirschenheiter
“I may work in real estate, but that doesn’t mean I’m buying what you’re selling.”

Katie Ginella
“I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but my truth.”

Tamra Judge
“I’m taking a hard look in the mirror and my reflection is still hot.”

Emily Simpson
“I may not be your cup of tea, but I’ll bring you an espresso martini.”
Speaking of Katie’s ongoing beef with her costars—which stems from Katie initially lying about bad-mouthing the cast to bloggers—Heather recently weighed in on whether or not she thinks Katie will be able to make amends with the group this season.
“Who knows?” she told E! News July 22. “You’ve watched the show for years. ‘I’m never speaking to you again!’ ‘I love you, she’s my best friend!'”
In the end, Heather is just happy she isn’t in the hot seat.
As she joked, “This is the first season no one’s popped off by lying about me. So, makes a girl a little more relaxed.”

But Katie’s pot-stirring won’t be the only storyline that will have fans on the edges of their seats this season.
“It’s crazier than ever,” Heather teased. “What’s insane about this season is sometimes there’s a story and it takes us through the whole season and it’s kind of a whodunit and we see what happens at the end. This is a series of miniseries all just lined up. Just when you think we’ve resolved, we’re good, something completely different happens.”
See the drama play out when The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo. Int he meantime, keep read for E!’s official ranking of every Housewife ever.

163-166. The Real Housewives of D.C.
Bravo’s ill-fated attempt at highlighting our nation’s capital brought together four women so forgettable you’d be forgiven for erasing them from your memory—though their names are Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney and Stacie Scott Turner—and one so desperate for fame that she gate-crashed a party at the White House. More on her later.

162. Kimberly Bryant, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Who?
Matthias Clamer/NBCU Photo Bank
161. Tammy Knickerbocker, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Vaguely familiar, but…
Virginia Sherwood/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
160. DeShawn Snow, The Real Housewives of Atlanta
Once upon a time, DeShawn starred on the same TV show as NeNe Leakes. Surprising, we know.

159. Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, The Real Housewives of Orange County
This one-season Housewife brought nothing to the Orange County table.
Chad Kirkland/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
158. Jennie Nguyen, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
Utah’s newest season two Housewife went out with a bang (and not in a good way). In January 2022, Jennie was fired after “offensive” and racially insensitive old Facebook posts resurfaced online. Jennie later apologized but the damage was done.
Kelsey McNeal/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
157. Quinn Fry, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Her defining trait was “cougar.”
Tommy Garcia/Bravo
156. Jen Armstrong, The Real Housewives of Orange County
The Orange County doctor was never a source of drama during season 16 and her brief marriage troubles with eternally shirtless husband Ryne (or Ryan?) were less than riveting. However, we will never forget Dr. Jen getting absolutely wasted on wine during the Dubrows’ insanely awkward—yet wildly entertaining—dinner party.
Bravo
155: Annemarie Wiley, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
The nurse anesthetist’s flop first season can be summed up in one cringe-worthy word we hope we never hear again: Esophagus-gate.
Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
154. Katie Rost, The Real Housewives of Potomac
Katie loved to talk about her charity work, but…didn’t do much else on screen. She was one and done, only to come back and not contribute much as a friend. Leaving the cast trip early? A Housewives no-no.
Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
153. Charrisse Jackson Jordan, The Real Housewives of Potomac
Her marriage problems were on full display the two seasons she was a full-time Housewife…that and her champagne room are the two memorable things about Charrisse.
Alex Martinez/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
152. Shamari DeVoe, The Real Housewives of Atlanta
A one-and-done Housewife, Shamari was at least fun?
Tommy Garcia/Bravo
151. Peggy Sulahian, The Real Housewives of Orange County
While it was nice to see some diversity in the lily-white O.C., Peggy ultimately proved to be a frustrating presence in season 12. The fights she chose to pick were bizarre, and often involving someone using a word she simply didn’t understand, and her decision to simply hide out in her room for an entire day during the trip to Iceland proved that she wasn’t really cut out for this Real Housewives life.
Jai Lennard/Bravo
150. Nneka Ihim, The Real Housewives of Potomac
Instead of bonding with fellow Nigerian costar Wendy Osefo during season eight, Nneka’s first season storyline centered entirely around her allegedly accusing Wendy’s mom of being a witch (yes, seriously). We wish we could have seen the two bond over their shared culture rather than fighting with no resolve.

149. Noella Bergener, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Noella spun through season 16 like a tornado of frantic energy. While her personal struggles were somewhat compelling (her husband James up and left the country and asked for a divorce right before filming started), it was her constant drama with queen bee Heather Dubrow that helped her not land completely at the bottom of the list. Maybe with more time and another season, we’ll warm up to Mrs. Bergener.
Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
148. Siggy Flicker, The Real Housewives of New Jersey
From peacekeeper in her first season to unrelenting complaints about a thrown cake and unfounded claims of anti-Semitism in her second (and last) season, we’re not sure we’ve ever seen a quicker Real Housewives fall from grace than this one.
Alex Martinez/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
147. Amber Marchese, RHONJ
Everything Amber and her husband Jim did seemed to reek of desperation. Plus, he was involved in more of the drama than she was. Not a good look.

146. Karent Sierra, The Real Housewives of Miami
All we remember about Karent is that she was a dentist and none of her co-stars seemed to like her at all. Next!
Alexander Tamargo/WireImage
145. Cristy Rice,The Real Housewives of Miami
This was a real person with a show on Bravo. We promise.
Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
144. Jules Wainstein, The Real Housewives of New York City
As one of RHONY‘s more recent one-and-dones, Jules’ tenure was too brief to rank any higher. However, she sure did deliver her fair share of drama.
Mike Pont/Getty Images
142-143. Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano, RHONJ
So unnecessary they couldn’t even get individual taglines.
Chris Haston/Bravo
141. Nina Ali, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Much like co-star Sara Al Madani, Nina exemplified a multidimensional, successful Arab woman who is blending modern life with centuries-old cultural traditions. She avoided most of the season one drama and was sometimes overshadowed by her co-stars’ bigger, louder personalities.
Bravo
140. Taleen Marie, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Taleen was a nice addition to RHODubai‘s sophomore season, but we only have one season to judge her on.
Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
139. Eva Marcille, RHOA
The America’s Next Top Model veteran picked up a peach for seasons 11 and 12, but never really made an impression in the world of RHOA, aside from being pregnant for what felt like her entire tenure. Points for that epic read of Marlo Hampton while in Tokyo, though.
Bravo
138. Katie Ginella, The Real Housewives of Orange County
Per usual, we typically need to see more than one season to place a first-time Housewife higher on our list. But Katie came in swinging during RHOC‘s 18th season, immediately going up against veteran Housewife Heather Dubrow. It takes a brave woman to call B.S. on Ms. Fancypants.
Rich Polk/Bravo
137. Sara Al Madani, The Real Housewives of Dubai
Sara’s positive, enlightened outlook on life was certainly pleasant, but didn’t provide for much drama (besides that one time she offered co-star Caroline Brooks some not-so-well received parenting advice). However, the tech entrepreneur shattered stereotypes of what it means to be a modern Muslim woman in the Middle East and for that we applaud her.
Andrew Eccles/Bravo
135-136. Rachel Fuda & Danielle Cabral, The Real Housewives of New Jersey
RHONJ‘s season 13 newbies certainly fit the mold of your typical Garden State Housewife and quickly found themselves in a season-long fight over literally nothing that Andy Cohen deemed pointless at the reunion. The former friends unfortunately didn’t bring much more substance during season 14.
Tommy Garcia/Peacock
134. Larsa Pippen, The Real Housewives of Miami
Larsa didn’t make a big impression on season one before leaving the series. When Peacock revived RHOM for season four in 2021, her whole storyline was about being the ex-BFF of Kim Kardashian. (and selling sexy feet pics on OnlyFans…)
Jeff Daly/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
133. Ana Quincoces, The Real Housewives of Miami
Ana followed up her one season as a Bravolebrity by competing on season 12 of Next Food Network Star in 2016. She didn’t make it there, either.
Rodolfo Martinez/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank
132. Joyce Giraud de Ohoven, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Unfortunately, she was nothing more than a punching bag for Brandi Glanville. Plus, her tagline celebrating the icky notion that you can never be too skinny was gross.
