Oh yes we did! I'm so excited   Vicky is the OG and what a way to celebrate 20 seasons!

Personally I think so, but I also get it if you want to jump ahead because there are so many seasons and the first 4-5 seasons look older.  It would be sad to miss out on Jeana and Laurie, but if you don't want to start from the beginning, maybe start with Season 5 when Alexis joins, and then Heather soon after. Otherwise Season 9 is pretty GOAT when Shannon joins, which is another good starting point.

Totally late in this thread (work! work! work!) but as someone who recently re-watched all of Season 9 of OC, I definitely agree. Vicki is still fun, Tamra gets knocked down a peg, Shannon has a fantastic 1st season, Heather gets called out for acting superior, and Lizzie was one who should've lasted longer.

Great episode and Stacey could not be shaken...she is impervious to these women! It's incredible to witness. When she didn't hesitate to not only point her finger at Cookie (aka Broke Down Aretha Franklin) but then get closer to her...incredible. And THEN when K gave her all the ammo needed for the "you don't have a husband!" line...sensational.

Angel did the Mention It All podcast and came across really well and very likeable. She is just a flop onscreen though.

Speaking of which, it's really incredible to watch Wendy and Ashley talk about someone being inauthentic when we've got a fraudster and multi season divorce arc to behold...

Finally, Monique was so smart and showed a lot of growth when she didn't take the bait about Stacey potentially dating her ex-husband. Another flop from K who just comes across more bitter and irrelevant each episode.

LOL....the weekend was slow. The only news I saw was that Kandi and Todd reunited to celebrate Blazes 6th birthday but that was good news

The episode was so good! Every scene was good. Loved Monique being vulnerable and opening up while shedding context to her mindset when she was on before. I actually truly do beleive that she and Gizelle have formed a genuine relationship. People said Gizelle only cares about Monique now bc she's divorced but thats not in a shady way. The divorce is a shared exprience that has bonded them bc Mo can now see that Gizelle was right about some of the things she said and can admit to putting on a front. With that out of the way, they can be real with each other

Im so over Angel! Her obsession with Wendy is annoying as this delayed reaction. Her problem is that she remembers things incorrectly and runs with it and im glad Bravo showed reciepts that Gizelle called her a catfish and Wendy only repeated it for clarity. Yet she's sucking up to Gizelle and going around talking to everyone about having a problem with Wendy bc she laughed.

Robyn said F Bravo! Its so petty of her to not film to support Gizelle at an event she is throwing to promote THEIR business. I can tell Gizelle is upset at that which is why she let us know Robyn is mad about how she left

I dont think Stacey told Chris anything. It screams of a setup, either from K or Ashley. One of them told Cookie and she told Chris and now K is running back and twisting that to say it was Stacey bc they already have this narrative that she's a liar. But you know who else is a liar? Cookie. Lets not forget she is a felon and a FRAUD.

Bravo needs to get her off my screen bc she was starting to act ghetto and uncouth. Like why are you even here? She was gonna fight at the event and we dont need that

The ending with K saying she would never trust Stacey around her husband and Stacey clapping back with "You dont have a husband!" was perfect. It had me LMAO! Stacey truly is that girl

Agree with all your thoughts on RHOP. Stacey is the unbothered queen.

And she was quick to respond before her birthday.

+1 It was my original starting point to OC as well @alwaysAMC

WHO?

I liked season 9 of OC, but I always have a soft spot for season 8 because it felt like a fitting finale for the original version of OC with season 9 the debut of the next phase of OC.

Season 8 had Tamra being semi nice, Andales in full display, the women actually having fun events without toxic fighting, and lastly the last season where Tamra/Gretchen were friendly.

I feel like that's how I always heard them described Season 8 into Season 9.
