Ratings have become a massive talking point within the Real Housewives fanbase and while it is true that more and more viewers are streaming Bravo shows via Peacock, live ratings are still a good gauge of overall interest and Orange County is at the top of the list.

RHOC Season 18 continually ranked above other Real Housewives shows airing at the same time and is one of the top-rated Bravo shows of the year, according to The Wrap’s data. Okay, oranges!
RHOC Season 18 is one of the top 15 entertainment series in the 18-49 demo but not the only Bravo show to land on the list. Vanderpump Rules, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Southern Charm, and The Real Housewives of New Jersey also made the cut.
Full-time Housewives Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, and Jennifer Pedranti, newbie Katie Ginella, and friend of Alexis Bellino made up the RHOC Season 18 cast.
While the series has been renewed for another season, it is not yet clear who will be returning but most of the women are rumored to be safe and with ratings like this, that makes a lot of sense.
The Real Housewives of Orange County will return with Season 19 in 2025.
