Forget my reservations about Tamra Judge being the centerpiece of Real Housewives of Orange County again after she did everything short of breaking into Bravo’s headquarters to demand her job back. After a poor showing in Season 15, I would compare her artful instigating this season to Roger Federer winning two major titles fresh off a knee injury in 2017.
All of Tamra’s choices, thus far, feel economical and even generous to other castmates. She knows she jumped the shark and made an ass of herself on that tiny yacht in Episode 2—hence her cursory apology to Shannon, which still left room for tension between the constantly at-odds pair. She’s gradually throwing Jenn and her relationship with Ryan under the bus. She’s also helping Taylor piss off Heather, which makes me think Tamra is salty that she was essentially brought back as her replacement last season.
