"The Real Housewives of Orange County is BACK in a big way, so we had Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Barney stop by Glamour HQ to fill us in on this season&amp;#x27;s drama, friendships, romances, secrets, and more. But three things in particular stood out that I particularly had to share. Check &amp;#x27;em out! That&amp;#x27;s Lindy and I with the lovely ladies! 1) Vicki and Tamra are back to being friends. (As for Gretchen...that&amp;#x27;s another story.) Last season ended with Vicki and Tamra on the outs, but they finally made up during a wild girls&amp;#x27; weekend to Mexico: Vicki: &amp;quot;That&amp;amp;#8217;s when we made up&amp;amp;#8212;when we put the tequila shot in my bra, and then you sucked it. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know if she&amp;amp;#8217;s going to turn on me, or if I&amp;amp;#8217;m going to turn on her. But I swear to God, if she turns on me, I told her I&amp;amp;#8217;m going to rip her hair out a piece at a time. Tamra: We were always good; I just didn&amp;amp;#8217;t like Brooks. Vicki: &amp;amp;#8216;Cause you&amp;amp;#8217;re jealous that he likes me more than Eddie likes you. Tamra: I hate filming the reunions because by then we&amp;amp;#8217;ve watched all the episodes, so we all hate each other. Vicki: If she says one bad thing about me this season&amp;amp;#133; Tamra: Oh, I already did. The first half of the season! Totally! Vicki: Wonderful. Tamra: But then we made up, and it was all good! 2) There&amp;#x27;s a lot more work put into those interviews you see on TV than you&amp;#x27;d think. You know those interviews you see with the Housewives in between the scenes of cat fights, laughs, and glasses of pinot? The ones where the Housewives usually say sound-bite-ready quips about the action that&amp;#x27;s going on? Vicki and Tamra gave us the behind-the-scenes deets: Vicki: They give you a thick stack of questions, type-written in small font, and then it&amp;amp;#8217;s like, &amp;amp;#8220;What&amp;amp;#8217;d you feel when Tamra called you this and that?&amp;amp;#8221; And then we&amp;amp;#8217;ve got to answer. It&amp;#x27;s a nightmare. Tamra: [They last] 4,5,6 hours. Vicki: You wear the same outfit all year long. You get three looks [total]. But for three months, you have to wear the exact same outfit, same hair, same makeup. You can never cut your hair in the middle of it because you&amp;#x27;re supposed to look the same. 3) How Slade Smiley and Jo De La Rosa really got cast on the RHOOC the first season: Vicki: [When the show started,] we didn&amp;#x27;t cast Housewives then. We were all neighbors or friends. Well, Slade and Jo won it at an auction. They wanted to be on TV, and he thought she could be a singer and all that stuff. Any of these things surprise you? And be sure to catch an all-new episode tonight at 8/7C. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
