Andy Cohen Teases Shocking Revelations at the RHOC Season 18 Reunion

Andy Cohen is keeping fans intrigued about what really happened during The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 reunion.

The host of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen gathered with the RHOC cast—Shannon Storms Beador, Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, and Katie Ginella—along with their friend, Alexis Bellino, for the reunion filming on October 6.

During the October 8 episode of his Sirius XM show, Radio Andy, Andy shared why this particular reunion was a bit out of the ordinary.

“On Sunday, we shot the OC reunion. I can’t recall the last time we filmed a reunion on a Sunday, but that was the day that worked for everyone,” he explained. “It was a unique experience—we did what we had to do. I think viewers will be surprised. I think they’ll be surprised by what I ended up liking.”

Reflecting on the overall atmosphere of the day, Andy described it as “very calm.”

“We worked through a lot of issues, but it wasn’t the kind of situation where people were tearing each other apart. And when you watch the final episodes of Orange County, which really heat up, I think you’ll see why we needed a different kind of reunion,” he added.

Andy’s co-host, John Hill, chimed in, suggesting, “That’s how it should be. The show should end on a high note and then resolve at the reunion.”

Andy agreed, saying, “Yes, that’s essentially what we did.”

However, despite the mostly laid-back atmosphere, Andy noted that things took a turn when Alexis Bellino joined the group.

“She was only there for part of it, but it definitely stirred things up,” he said. “That part was not calm at all. It was intense, to say the least.”

The RHOC Season 18 Reunion Seating Chart

On the same day of the reunion filming, Bravo shared the seating chart on Instagram. As expected, Andy sat at the center of the group, with Shannon directly to his right, followed by Gina, Jennifer, and Katie. On Andy’s left, Tamra took the spot closest to him, with Emily next to her, and Heather following. Alexis sat at the end of the lineup for her portion of the reunion.
