Bravo aired the Real Housewives of Orange County season 20 finale around October 29, 2026, Vicki Gunvalson's party celebrating 20 years with the franchise. The teased Carmella confrontation deflated when Carmella approached with a lemon drop martini and Vicki barely reacted, and both walked away. At the finale, Gina re-raised Heather's actresses-and-money comment and Heather deflected by saying Tamra said worse. Lori Peterson has declined to film and did not attend the party. Andy Cohen said on Radio Andy he is open to an Atlanta or New York style refresh of Orange County, moving the conversation toward the show's future.
