‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’ is one of Bravo’s most popular reality shows. Here are pics from the most memorable moments and more.

Welcome to Orange County! Since 2006, the ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ has shown the reality – both good and bad – of living in one of the most famous parts of Southern California. Who knew that this humble show would spawn an entire reality television empire, as the success of ‘RHOC’ would spawn countless spin-offs: ‘Real Housewives’ in New York City, Atlanta, New Jersey, Beverly Hills, Miami, the Potomac, and Dallas. It also had its ACTUAL spin-offs, ‘Date My Ex: Jo & Slade’ and ‘Tamara’s OC Wedding.’ When the show debuted, it focused on Kimberly Bryant, Jo De La Rosa, Vicki Gunvalson, Jeana Keough and Lauri Waring. Over the following decade, the cast would change, with Vicki remaining the only OG OC left by season 14. By 2019, over 20 women have joined ‘Real Housewives of Orange County,’ with a handful others being listed as ‘friends.’ Needless to say, so long as the sun shines on California, there will be plenty of drama, and if there’s drama, you know it’ll be on ‘RHOC.’
