First up \u2014 Gina Kirschenheiter and fianc\u00e9 Travis Mullen finally won their brutal custody battle against his ex Meghan Mullen after years of court proceedings, drug testing, and a judge&#8217;s dramatic ruling. Now that the dust has settled, is a wedding finally happening? Then I break down what&#8217;s been going on with Emily Simpson \u2014 her incredible transformation, what Wife Swap revealed about her marriage to Shane Simpson, and whether the cracks we saw in Season 19 are still there. Then it&#8217;s time to talk about who got fired and who&#8217;s coming back \u2014 Katie Ginella is out, Gretchen Rossi is out, and Vicki Gunvalson is back as a full-time Housewife for the first time in years, and I tell you everything you need to know about what to expect from her return. Then I break down the new girl Carmella Garcia \u2014 former Playboy Playmate of the Year, former WWE wrestler, Oppenheim Group real estate agent, and ex-wife of NFL quarterback Jeff Garcia. There was a massive scandal involving her ex-husband and Playboy that you need to know about before you watch. I also cover Eddie Judge&#8217;s candid confession about filming RHOC with Tamra Judge, Teddi Mellencamp&#8217;s return to the OC universe this season, the truth about Vicki Gunvalson and boyfriend Michael Smith&#8217;s ring situation, Shannon Beador navigating life solo, Heather Dubrow&#8217;s family drama, and Jennifer Pedranti&#8217;s ongoing sketchy situation with Ryan.
