Episode Overview
In this episode, Ben and Ronnie return for the second part of their riotous Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC) Season 19, Episode 10 recap, dubbed “Beverly Shrillbillies.” They roast, praise, and mercilessly eviscerate the Housewives as they split time between Temecula’s sidecars and cheese boards and the glitz of Beverly Hills shopping and improv adventures. Personal hang-ups, awkward apologies, and plenty of fat-shaming drama keep the laughs rolling and the shade maximum.

5. Jen, Tamara, and “Fat Photo” Feud (27:11 – 38:43)

- “It’s not disgusting to be five pounds overweight. What the f— is wrong with you people?” – Ronnie (37:19)

- Tamara gives a half-hearted apology, mocking her own “thin security,” and they both claim to move on, but the crew (and the hosts) are not convinced.
6. Shannon vs. Tamara: Grudges & Alcohol Accusations (39:37 – 41:50)
- Shannon confronts Tamara’s pattern of taking things “low” during fights, tired of always being made the villain and called an “alcoholic.”

- “So predictable.” – Ronnie (41:32)
