According to The Dish by Bravo blog, Vicki Gunvalson, the last of the original “RHOOC” cast is back, as are Tamra Barney, Alexis Bellino, Gretchen Rossi and Heather Dubrow are all returning for the eighth season of “The Real Housewives of Orange County.”

What can fans expect from the first ladies of Bravo in season eight? According to Buzz by Bravo, which is a subscription newsletter, the newest “RHOOC,” is Lydia Mclaughlin, a friend of Alexis Bellino's. Lydia McGlaughlin, a 31-year-old Canadian entrepreneur, socialite and devout Christian who puts “her family and faith first.” This makes the newest member of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” the perfect BFF for Bellino, or does it?

Fans can tune in to watch Briana and Vicki battle over Brooks Ayers, again. Tamra will do some dancing on a taxi, and Lauri Peterson, one of the original “RHOOC” will make an appearance, but the first ladies of Bravo do not seem happy about that at all.
