Tamra Judge officially announced her return to the *Real Housewives of Orange County* on Wednesday’s episode of *Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. * The *Two T’s in a Pod* podcast host made a surprise appearance on Wednesday’s WWHL in order to announce her return to RHOC. *“Ladies and gentleman, it’s true — Tamra Judge is returning to ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County,’”* Andy Cohen announced. Tamra quipped: *“The Judge is back, and drama is in session.”* https://www.instagram.com/reel/CgQn0lGp3SM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link According to Tamra, she feels *“1,000 percent more energized”* about returning to the show and admits that she has a *“totally different perspective.”* She explained, *“I think that being off for two years was probably the best thing you could have done to me, even though I didn’t like it. I was on the show for 12 years, and once you’re on that long, you become a professional ‘Housewife.’”* Tamra also admits that she was* “kind of an a–hole”* on the show the first time around. The CUT Fitness owner joined RHOC in 2007 during Season 3. She got axed in January 2020 after wrapping season 14. https://www.instagram.com/p/CgQmDRcMSkB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link RHOC is set to return for season 17 in late 2022 or early 2023. ## Thoughts on this all?
