Hey, everyone, welcome to the Bravo tv.com interview stage.
I am Daryn Carp here with four iconic returners
to their series.
That's what we're calling this, the returners.
I got to say, before I even introduced you,
you all are perfectly dressed as I would absolutely
imagine you guys to be.
We got the Orange County peaches in the background, of course,
right here.
We've got Tamra Judge right back here.
Give it up for Tamra Judge.
And of course, we got Taylor Armstrong.
Cotton candy made it famous over here.
Heather Dubrow, where is your orange?
But I expected you to be in Fendi.
I expected you to be invited.
Give it up for Heather Dubrow.
She's spring, she summer, she's September.
She's worldwide.
It's she by Sheree.
We got Sheree Whitfield up in here.
You are advertising perfectly for your outfit.
It is. I love it.
Congratulations on all your success.
The runway was amazing. Thank you.
All right, guys.
You guys are the returners to your series.
Some to New ones.
What brought you back to bravo?
Did you guys need more attention?
Were you missing us?
What is going on?
We were just asking each other the same question.
Yeah? what were we thinking? What were you thinking?
Are we thinking?
It's kind of like when you date someone
and, you know, you break up and you see them a few years later
and you're like, wow, they're so cute.
Why did I break up with you?
Forget all the negative, talk to them for a while
and you go, oh, right, because I hate you.
Yeah, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding. It's a no.
I came back because they asked me to come back.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
They called Love so much fun on Ultimate Girls trip
is what made me want to come back.
Plus, I just wanted to hang out with Tamra more
so it all worked out, you know? You wanted.
You wanted an extra fruit, you know,
you had your diamond from Beverly hills,
and now you needed to get your Orange.
You're just rounding out the category.
You got to move East Coast straight.
How has it been back on Atlanta.
It's been amazing.
Three times.
History I made history.
You made history.
This has not been done before.
But the love, the support or the bid, I love it.
Well, as you said, you made Housewives history
by leaving, coming back, leaving, coming back.
You began as an OG in season one, left in season four,
returned as a friend in season eight,
became a full time Housewife in season 9
and left after season ten, only to return again as a full time
Housewife in season 14.
I don't feel that bad about my life anymore.
No, you shouldn't.
Is she's keeping us on our toes?
Why did you leave previously?
What makes this time maybe different for you
than all the other times?
You know what?
Previously I felt like I was going
through a lot of personal drama, and I had things
going on in my personal life.
Yeah, and it's hard trying to manage your personal life,
and then you have to come to work.
And it's a lot of chaos as well.
Coming back this season, I feel like I'm in a great place.
I'm in a really good place.
My energy is great.
My spirit is.
A good place that I'm in a really good place.
So, so happy to hear it.
Taylor how did the Beverly Hills fans or your fans
react to you being back on Housewives
but being back in a new place in Orange county?
The best thing.
The best experience for me is that when
I was on Beverly Hills, as Sheree was saying,
my life was in such chaos at home.
And so the show is very stressful.
And then having a very stressful home life.
And now that I'm in such a better place in my life,
it's just a lot more fun and we're having a pretty good
time Clark County is pretty.
It makes a huge difference, doesn't it?
Doesn't it?
Yes heather, when you return to The Real Housewives of Orange
county, the only cast member left from your original crew
was Shannon.
Storms fedoras.
Whatever Yeah.
I was filming with her.
What you expected?
Tamra, feel free to just show all that.
Well, all that in a bag of chips.
Yeah last but not always weird.
First place, of course.
Balenciaga, please. Of course.
Yeah all right. Of course.
You know, what was weird for me was not
having Tamra there, because my first five seasons,
we were always together.
We traveled together, we're always Travel Buddies.
So it was very strange for me to not have her.
So I'm so happy she's back.
I'll tell you this, though, Tamra.
Judge is back with a vengeance.
Do not think she is not.
Stay tuned.
I have got old school Tamra back.
Oh oh, I wouldn't expect anything less.
Tamra, I have no comment.
You have comment.
You just can't say it right now.
That's what I meant.
Yeah Yeah.
But any of you have any hesitations about returning?
Yes what were they?
Everything this is a very difficult show
to do to open up your lives.
And, you know, as we know, it's the authenticness
of the cast and showing our true lives
that everyone responds to.
And that's how we all share things together.
And for me, as you and I have talked about,
one of the big reasons I came back
is because I wanted to open up our family and our kids
and open up conversations and other people's families
and, you know, try to build a bigger community.
Absolutely which has been amazing.
And I've loved meeting everyone and having those conversations.
But it also opens your family and your relationship
up to lies, rumors, you know, all kinds
of things and lies and rumors.
Oh, yeah, come on.
That doesn't happen.
So that doesn't occur.
You're exaggerating, Heather.
Do of course I am.
I'm very dramatic.
How much messages and support from fans
factor into your decisions to come back?
I mean, the fans were so stoked to see all four of you
back on our screens.
Right and what was this?
How much did messages in support from fans
factor into your decision to come back?
I know Bravo asked you, but the fans were hungry for you.
Yeah, no.
I got for the past two years, I got like every single day.
I don't know why they fired you.
I want you to come back with the end of the day.
It was a family decision.
When I was actually asked back, I was like, oh, wow, this
is happening.
And then I'm like, OK, let's do this.
And then I started thinking about everything
that goes into it the time, the energy,
the backlash from social media.
And I thought, what have I done?
Why am I going backwards?
Then I thought, now this is what I was born to do.
Yeah I just have to ask you.
Sure how much did how much was it that fans wanted you to come
back and how much was it would you wanted a fashion show
with fashions just to quit?
Which one was more of the pull for you to come back?
You know what?
More of a pool for me to come back was definitely the fans.
Yeah since they won from season four after I left,
they've been rallying for me to come back.
They've been sending me messages and then
you guys messages to return.
And I hear you guys, you guys made this happen for us.
You guys made this happen for us.
I bet.
Guys, I've got some fan questions for you guys here.
This one's for Tamra from Kurt from Toronto.
What would your ideal Ultimate Girls trip look like
and who would you want to bring along this time
if it was up to you?
Oh, my God.
I got asked this yesterday in a panel
and then I got because I didn't say certain people, of course.
But I'm going to say Ultimate Girls trip.
Yep would be Denise Richards.
Fans seem to like it.
Everybody wants to sit on somebody's face.
Yeah and Teddi Mellencamp.
It's peas in a pod.
Yes I'm going to say what?
Taylor is hitting your head very strong.
I want to say Heather Dubrow, because we need
a little fancy pants in there.
We do.
Right, right.
We need one more.
One more.
I'm not coming, though, love.
Lisa Vanderpump.
Lisa Wow.
You're bringing a Wow.
You want the drama for taylor?
Jenna from North Carolina wants to know what's
the most expensive party you have thrown for Kennedy
since the tea party?
You know, actually, when she turned six,
I threw a big ranch party.
But for some reason, that doesn't get as much attention
as the Tea Party.
So that one was more.
Of course, Heather Sharon from North New Hampshire
wants to know, heather, how are the twins adjusting to college
life we just spoke about?
Yeah, they're doing great.
Max just got a cat.
Oh, my favorite animal.
Yeah so that was really helpful for her.
And Nikki is living his best life in La.
Having the.
They're doing great.
Thanks love to hear it, Cheri.
Miguel from Tennessee wants to know which
cast member has been the most supportive of you as she
by Sherri.
I would have to say that was Kenya, more Kenya,
more haircare, more hair care.
She's been super supportive along the entire
this season along the entire way.
She's you know, if I needed anything, she's texting me,
she's calling me, making sure I'm OK,
making sure my timeline, everything is going well.
And I have to Thank her for that.
How many Housewives ask you for free stuff?
Oh, yeah, I keep asking.
No, they have not asked for free stuff,
but I do not see their names on my website is for purchases.
Yeah, that is right.
You guys got to get some joggers that are amazing.
All right, guys, I want to play a game with you guys.
It's called now and then.
I think you're going to love it.
I have some time capsules here that, I'm going
to hand out to one of you.
You'll each take a turn, opening it to reveal
a blast from your past, plus a few questions
about your season one life that I need
you to answer appropriately.
First one up, we've got Tamra.
Judge, open up the time capsule.
Open up and read the question out loud, if you wouldn't mind,
Tamra, without my readers.
Yeah, I know she got her readers.
The font is big.
She has her first season one cast headshot
on there for you guys to see.
That's out and it's been a minute.
Read the question for us.
Biggest difference in your professional life now and that?
Well, I mean, back back then, I was very dependent
on my ex husband, Simon.
Yep now, well, she an independent woman.
She's doing everything with Eddie.
You're just having a good time.
I'm married to the most amazing, sexy man ever,
and I have the best CBD business,
the number one growing CBD business in the world
right now.
That it.
Being nice.
Yeah oh, there's the hat right there.
Very smart.
All right.
Sure let's do it up.
Open it up. Let's see that cat.
Let's see that season.
One head shot of you two.
I got to see that.
Make sure you point that to camera,
because that is some good stuff that is satisfied.
Top that is good.
That's a sky top.
Yep that is a good.
Yes yeah, that's a.
What's the question.
Say Sharee it's on the back of the thing.
Yep and make sure you have the mic in your hand, sir.
It's a lot of stuff.
Go ahead.
Yes the biggest difference in your style
now and then she by shares.
Yeah that's right. She buys.
You're right.
Yeah on fashions.
You got fashion.
I've got fashion.
I got fashion.
I got fashions.
I don't think my style has changed tremendously.
I think that I've always loved fashion,
but now I'm incorporating a lot more
athleisure, more comfortable pieces,
but still fashionable and sexy.
And I love athleisure.
Comfy butt cheek.
All right, Taylor Armstrong, you're up next.
We're saving Heather Dubrow for last.
All right, let's see that.
Season one headshot.
Open it up and let's see that picture and read that question.
There it is.
Oh, Wow.
That is exciting.
Hey, the biggest difference, my friends,
in my temper now and then, I would
say the biggest difference is that my confidence
level is completely different than it was back then.
So I'm not afraid to speak my mind up to that.
That is a great answer.
All right, heather, here we go.
Let's see that headshot.
Oh, Yeah.
Not much has changed, really.
I mean, have you always only been classy?
Always classy.
Stay the same.
That was like 11 years ago.
I missed the collagen that was natural in my face.
OK, what's the question?
Biggest difference in your personal life.
Now and then?
You know what?
That's interesting.
I'm in a very transitional stage in my family's life
with two kids off to college and the third not
that far behind, and then the fourth not that far
behind that.
You know, Terry and I have been having
lots of conversations about what's happening next with us.
And you may have seen that we just bought a place in La.
I did see that.
Yeah, that's a tiny little.
So are you going on the Beverly Hills housewives?
What I would say is Taylor can do it.
Gosh, Jane, what is that?
Just like just like when you first get married
and you're having those conversations about,
like, where you're going to go, what you're
going to do with your lives.
We're kind of having like a second moment of that, like,
oh, my god, they're almost gone.
What are we going to do?
Where are we going to go?
And so we got this apartment is kind of like our little Piazza
to be to see where we're going next.
All right, guys, give it up for these lovely women over here.
Guys, keep watching Bravo TV .com for all weekend long
for all the Bravo Con updates.
