'Real Housewives of Orange County' Season 10: Tamra Judge Returns Along with the Rest of the Cast of Season 9

Bravo TV's The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 premier airing date has yet to be scheduled but speculations already abound as to who will make it to the final Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 cast. The previous season brought to the TV spotlight the lives of veteran cast members Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson and Heather Dubrow along with those of newcomers Shannon Beador and Lizzie Rovsek, plus new friend of the housewives Danielle Gregorio. Rumors have it that Tamra has been fired, Heather and her husband Terry will quit and Lizzie will not be coming back. However, it now seems more likely that the entire cast will be asked to return to the show next season after all.

Gunvalson, Judge, Dubrow, Beador, and Rovsek would all be returning as full-time housewives for the tenth season, which is scheduled to film beginning this month. According to the usually reliable Rumor Fix, an insider revealed that "at the current moment, the entire cast is being asked back." There will also be some additions to the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 10 cast.

Tamra in an interview last month with Reality Tea confirmed that she will be back next season. Asked if she wished anything from the show's season nine never happened, she replied: "Yeah. The whole last season. Let's make that clear right now, the last season should have never happened. "Elaborating further, she said: "I was going through a lot personally with my ex (Simon Barney). I keep my children off the show for a reason and this was something that my ex felt the need to make very, very public in a very negative way for me and the kids, so it was very difficult for me as a mother to film a show of this sort and to not worry about exploiting my children... It was very unfortunate that none of my cast members took me aside, other than Heather, and said, 'I know what you're going through. I'm sorry.'"

When asked about her plan for season ten, Tamra told Reality Tea: "I just want to be me. I'm 100% honest and I'm loyal and I'm truthful in everything I say. If you ask me what do you think about so and so and I said I don't think he's a great guy ... you know what, if you don't want to hear the truth, then maybe we shouldn't be friends."
