The Real Housewives of Orange County season 19 is here — and there’s no shortage of drama.
On June 5, Bravo released the trailer for the upcoming season, which immediately kicks off with all the ladies — Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, Katie Ginella and Gretchen Rossi — being hooked up for polygraph tests.
“There’s a snake in this group,” Shannon says, while the other women deliver dramatic one-liners about the truth and lies.
It’s not all serious, though, as the polygraph examiner asks Heather, “Would you rather be a housewife of Beverly Hills?”
Fans don’t hear an answer, but Heather gives an Emmy-worthy facial performance reacting to the question.
It’s then revealed that this season will take the cast to New Orleans, where Tamra complies when asked to “show your tits” during Mardi Gras, as well as Amsterdam, where Jenn lets loose in the Red Light District.
Heather is later seen in a crossover moment with Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles‘ Josh Altman and Josh Flagg.
Gretchen, returning after a 12-year hiatus, is back as a friend this season and later stuns with a party story about her longtime partner, Slade Smiley.
“I broke his penis, for real,” she admits, as Slade adds, “It happened.”
Things between Tamra — whom Slade is heard calling “Captain Evil” — and Gretchen don’t seem to have settled down, either, as their decades-long feud reignites.
“12 years you’ve been going after me,” Tamra yells at Gretchen.
In another scene, Emily tells Tamra that Gretchen claimed she had an affair. Later, Emily FaceTimes with Slade and asks, “There’s audio of them having sex?”
The trailer then cuts to a scene of Tamra telling Heather, in a moment seemingly connected to the rumor, “She’s lying.”

Also in the trailer, Jenn is seen telling her fiancé, Ryan Boyajian, that she doesn’t want Tamra at their wedding.
The next scene shows Jenn having drinks with Heather, telling her, “That f—— woman caused so much pain,” seemingly referring to Tamra.
After a montage of chaotic moments, Emily screams, “Nobody believes you. Not even the lie detector test.”
“She’s so full of s—,” the polygraph examiner is heard whispering in the final seconds.
