Tamra Judge and Taylor Armstrong on Their 'RHOC' Returns and Season 17's Fiery Feuds (Exclusive)

Tamra Judge and Taylor Armstrong preview what's in store from season 17 of 'The Real Housewives of Orange County,' airing Wednesdays on Bravo. The pair sits down with ET at The Deck on Laguna Beach to unpack what they filmed last year. Both women are returning to the franchise after some time away; Tamra exited 'RHOC' at the end of season 14, while Taylor was last a full-time 'Wife on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' in 2013. The two admit it took some time to find their place in this group, especially for Tamra. Many of her co-stars celebrated her firing from the show; but now, she says she's close friends with one of her biggest critics, Emily Simpson! Plus, Tamra teases her reunion with one-time BFF Shannon Beador and reveals just how many 'RHOC' OG Vicki Gunvalson sightings fans will get this year. Tamra and Taylor also discuss their independent issues with Heather Dubrow, who returned to the show last year.
