It seems a lot has happened in the world of Orange County since the season ended. Brianna is settled on Oklahoma and Vickie has visited her several times since she's been gone.  Heather got bangs, Shannon and David are still together, but their house is on the market. Read below for some of the highlights from part one of this drama filled reunion! 

 

Lizzie Dated Nick Lachey

It's no secret that Lizzie is gorgeous, so it shouldn't be surprising that she's dated a celebrity. Andy brought it up and she confirmed that she dated Nick both before and after his marriage to Jessica Simpson! 

 

Vickie Offends a Community and a State! 

After calling Oklahoma an invisible and forgotten state, it's no surprise that viewers who live in Oklahoma weren't too happy with her. Andy gave her 30 seconds to address the state of Oklahoma, and instead of using it to apologize for her offensive remarks. she listed more of her gripes with the state like frizzy hair and bad food.   A viewer wrote in and told her that she would be invisible once her run on RHOC was over. Ouch! 

 

Then Andy questioned Vickie about telling a man he doesn't "look gay" and asked her what a gay person "looks like".  She started off listing good qualities, but then ended her spiel by telling Andy he looks "all boy" to her. Andy, bless his heart, just gave a confused nod of his head and moved on. Oh Vicki! With all that money you would think you could buy yourself some manners! 

 

Terry Talks #spreademgate

I'm not sure about everyone else, but I was really confused as to why Terry was so pissed about David's comments to Heather before she was going to ride the mechanical bull. I don't think saying spread your legs is that serious because you do have to spread your legs to ride a mechanical bull! Terry admitted that he didn't hear David at that moment and that later, a friend told him what David said. Well, that clears that up. Terry was mad because of how it looked to his friend, not at what actually happened. Case closed! 

 

All is Not Well With Tamra and Vickie

After Vickie found out that Tamra was still taking crap about Brooks at the end of the season, their friendship was left hanging in the balance. When the topic was brought around to Tamra's opinion of Brooks, Vickie quickly attacked Tamra reminding her that she didn't really know Brooks and that she should keep her mouth shut. Tamra responded by screaming "It's my opinion!" Then she reminded Vickie that the last time she saw Brooks, he was talking about beating Vickie and calling her a whore. I don't typically agree with Tamra, but clearly Brooks has at least fantasized about being violent with women. After advising Brianna's husband to beat her, that was very clear! 

 

Shannon Remained Zen

After her tumultuous first season with RHOC, Shannon resolved to remain Zen and try to avoid drama. She managed to do that on the reunion stage (at least the first part) despite some difficult conversations. She had to re-hash her feud with Heather yet again and discuss her husband's supposed verbal sexual assault of Heather and his flirting. So good job to Shannon! Maybe it's the jewels in her teeth...
