5 Ways Heather Dubrow’s Exit Will Impact #RHOC Season 12!
The Real Housewives of Orange County will have a new look for Season 12 — the exit of Heather Dubrow changing the dynamic of the series that started it all. How will the departure of Mrs. Terry Dubrow impact the upcoming season of the Bravo hit?
Bye Fancy Factor
Heather added a desperately needed touch of class to the O.C. crew. Her bony scolding finger, wrinkled nose, and haughty attitude dragged up one trashy vibe — her snooty standards slightly deodorizing the gutter-stink of the Bravo original. The ladies can relax their pinkies, because Heather’s sharply raised brow is a thing of the past.
Bye Fake Friendship
Tamra Judge was likely served a “girl bye” when Heather stepped away from her Bravoleb status. Few fans believed that Heather’s highbrow sensibilities ever jived with Tamra’s bawdy, low-rent personality. Tamra recently commented that she “missed Heather,” confirming that their bestie connection is probably stuck in Season 11.
Bye Credible Cash
Terry and Heather Dubrow backed up the Bravo boast with lots of cash. This couple managed to flaunt an extravagant lifestyle — minus the déclassé aftertaste. Viewers got glimpses of the pair’s museum-like homes and chichi trimmings — the display sprinkled with semi-obnoxious comments only uttered by the mega-wealthy. The Dubrows represented true material luxury — giving fans satisfying helpings of high-end eye candy. Just a smidgen of highfalutin humility made Heather and her doctor hubby bearable — most of the time, anyway.
Bye Plastic Perfection
Heather never had a hair out of place, never had a wrinkle in her dress (or face), and was always the picture of perceived excellence. Her mannequin-like persona whispered anxious perfectionism, but nevertheless presented an image worthy of any tightly wound mirror hound. Her homes, her delightful children, and every quip was sculpted, shaped and polished—all for our viewing pleasure, and her own intense image. The others try — but only Heather managed to push the pursuit of pristine perfection to a whole new level.
Bye Champs & Condescension
Heather made bubbly her signature drink — will fans miss her tiring love affair with “champs?” Heather’s condescending snark was razor sharp, sometimes even veering into dark behavior some would call “gas-lighting.” Heather’s pretentious outrage grated on the nerves of many viewers — especially when Tamra Judge — the one who deserved it most — was never in her line of fire.
How do you think Season 12 will play out, minus the Heather Dubrow edge? Did you pop the champs at the news of her exit — or will you miss her?
