‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ preview: Who turns on Tamra Barney?

Monday night’s “Real Housewives of Orange County” is looking rather dramatic, and there is one very simple reason for that: More battle lines will be drawn in the sand, and the arrows are starting to point to Tamra Barney as the person at the center of all the conflict.

So what is the biggest problem here? It all seems to stem from rumors, gossip, and basically all of the same sort of garbage that we typically see these women get themselves all mixed up in. (Yeah, we really don’t understand why this typically happens here.) Still, it does, and Tamra will be put on the defense as Shannon Beador, Vicki Gunvalson, and others start to question their motives. The fact that this happens during what should be a really lovely trip in Bali makes it all the more ironic. (Why do these women constantly fight in such lovely places?)

If you want some further insight into just what you can expect, take a look at the lengthy synopsis from Bravo below:

“It’s more fish-out-of-water time for the ladies in Bali as everything seems to be more fun than a barrel of monkeys. However, beneath the surface, tensions escalate as Shannon and Lizzie compare notes and realize Tamra has poisoned their budding friendship. Then, Vicki is shocked when she hears allegations that Tamra has been talking trash about Brooks. Although Heather begins to see some hope for reconciliation between her and Shannon, everything comes to a head at dinner when the ladies confront Tamra about being two-faced.”

By the end of the episode, maybe things will be repaired … but we doubt it. Typically, they spiral worse and worse before we get to the reunion.
