Andy Cohen Is “Knee Deep” in RHOC Season 18 & Teases What to Expect: See the Cast React

Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen spilled on Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County during a recent FYC event.

The jaw-dropping trailer for The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 made it clear that the ladies are bringing their A-game this time around, but if you need any more convincing, perhaps you should hear what Andy Cohen just revealed.

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Bravo Thursday, July 11 at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

The Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host teased what’s to come during a recent FYC panel (alongside actress Molly Shannon, no less!). As he put it, “I am knee deep in season 18 and I want to say, [this is] possibly the best season yet of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

That, and historic, because the new iteration of RHOC marks the 100th season of The Real Housewives (over 18 years and 11 cities). 



Andy went on to further describe RHOC Season 18 as “really great.”
