Gunvalson gathered Rovsek, Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, Peggy Tanous, Jeana Keough, Lynne Curtin and Jo De La Rosa for the milestone celebration.
As the former cast members arrived, the episode looked back at their time on RHOC through flashbacks.
Rovsek’s segment brought back her memorable dinner confrontation with Judge. The flashback showed Rovsek calling Judge insecure before Judge left the table.
According to People, Rovsek expressed excitement about returning to Coto de Caza Country Club for the RHOC Season 20 finale.
“It’s fun to be back here at Coto with all the girls in our sky outfits just reliving the glory days,” she said.
Other former Housewives also reflected on their experiences with the franchise. Tanous said the group’s strong personalities often created either close friendships or major conflict.
“There’s definitely some things I miss about being on The Real Housewives of Orange County,” she said. “Having all these dynamic women — you’re either gonna love each other or you’re gonna hate each other.”
Curtin credited the show with helping promote her jewelry business. Meanwhile, De La Rosa said returning to the venue brought back memories.
Current cast member Gina Kirschenheiter also described filming the episode as “very nostalgic.” She recalled returning to Coto de Caza Country Club, where the franchise began. She also highlighted the iconic sky tops associated with the show’s early seasons.
Kirschenheiter said the Vicki Gunvalson reunion carried particular meaning for Gunvalson, whom she called “the OG of the OC.”
She also teased that the finale featured several familiar faces and revisited unresolved storylines from the show’s history.
The Season 20 finale airs Thursday, October 29, at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo. It will be available to stream the following day on Peacock.
