AceShowbiz - It seems like the cast of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" are on the chopping block. According to a new report, executive producers of the Bravo reality series are mulling over who to fire from the show's upcoming season.
Radar Online claims that the executives are "deadlocked" on how to proceed with "The Real Housewives of Orange County". It is said that they are battling which ladies who need to be demoted and which are doing good with the drama and deserve to stay.
"The drama was good with Tamra, Shannon, Vicki and Kelly," a source reveals, referring to Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Vicki Gunvalson and Kelly Dodd. However, it seems like the honchos aren't entirely sure of how long the plot will catch people's attention, as the source adds, "But do viewers want to keep seeing the same thing over and over?"
The informant goes on saying that Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter and Brauwyn Windham-Burke's fates may be on the bubble. "The viewers don't connect with the new ladies as much as the longer-existing ones," the source explains. "A few new ones will return but the viewers are invested in the main four."
It is reported that the execs want to maintain strong ratings for "RHOCH". "People tuned in for the Vicki drama, but they also watched when she wasn't on," says the source, insisting the reality vixen "doesn't drive the whole show."
Vicky was indeed taking the spotlight in season 14. In the reunion episode, she threw a fit to one of the show's main producers, Gavin, as she wasn't pleased with the production's seating arrangement. When she eventually joined other ladies, she snapped at host and EP Andy Cohen, "I was waiting back there. My temperature's at like 150! Don't f***ing do this to me. Yeap. Not good."
Andy hit back at Vicky when the cameras were rolling. "While the OG of the O.C. needs no introduction, knowing her, she'd probably have some words with me if she didn't get one," he said, facing the camera. "So without further ado, please welcome Coto resident, insurance maven and the future Mrs. Lodge -- Jane Roe! I mean, Vicki Gunvalson. Hi, Vicki!"
