RHOC S7, E8: Love Bombing

Send us Fan MailThe host recaps Real Housewives of Orange County Season 7, Episode 8, “Dirty Housewives,” following the Bunco-party fallout and shifting alliances as Tamra and Gretchen reconcile, leaving Vicki and Alexis feeling betrayed. Briana’s thyroid surgery ultimately shows no cancer, while Alexis recovers from sinus surgery and a nose job and feels hurt that Gretchen waited five days to visit. Heather takes Terry for a costly wardrobe overhaul, and Tamra discusses fitness, body insecurity, and wanting to open a studio. A group mud run brings bonding for Heather but ends with Gretchen injuring her ankle and Eddie breaking a finger. Vicki’s date with Brooks highlights constant “affirmations” and behavior the host frames as manipulative love bombing.
