My fellow She already knows the other Housewives, including Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, and Kelly Dodd (Cohen confirmed she is returning).

Save Kelly, I assume Vicki and Tamra will also be back for another season of drama. In March 2016, Gretchen told Bravo's The Daily Dish about their newfound friendship, "So ironically Vicki and I made up this last year, which was really cool and nice. Remember when she confronted her former best friend and co-star Alexis Bellino during the Season 7 trip to Costa Rica about Alexis' "pretentiousness"?

because producers believed she had a compelling storyline. She was dating 54-year-old Jeff Beitzel, COO of an Irvine-based tech company who was terminally ill (Beitzel passed away in 2008).

Things got even more interesting when Rossi started dating Slade Smiley, who starred on the first two seasons of the series with his then-fiance, Jo De La Rosa (oh, and he also dated Lauri Peterson for 8 minutes).

This time, though, Smiley came back riddled with debt and covered in bad publicity.

"I remember having a conversation with Gretchen and I said to her, ‘You're not doing anything. You have no kids, you're not married,' and lo and behold she came up with this big plan to propose to Slade," Judge said. She even choked up at the thought that people assumed it was fake.

"Unfortunately most of the questions I was asked during my interview, including why I ultimately am no longer on the show, did not get used," Rossi wrote.

"So if you want the unedited & complete version of what happened, you should ask @bravotv to air my entire interview (I give Bravo permission to air my full unedited version).

“Lately they have been getting a lot of pressure from their close friends to do it already.

Gretchen cannot wait to be Slade’s wife and, when the time is right, they will have their huge lavish wedding,” the source continued.
