Because there just aren't enough cat fights, Brazilian lesbians and talks of “vaginal rejuvenation” in regular life, The Real Housewives of Orange County are back–this Sunday at 10 p.m. on Bravo.
It's been a while since the tanned and mostly toned ladies invaded our TV screens. Here's who they are and what they've been saying recently.

Vicki Gunvalson
The 49-year-old insurance guru and self-described “mama bear” of the group is the only remaining “housewife” from the original season, and it seems things aren't what they used to be.
“I miss Jeana [Keough] and I miss Lauri [Warning].
We had a really great synergy between us. We encouraged each other and
we helped each other and we didn't want to belittle or berate each
other. … Sometimes, I don't feel that with the new cast. I feel like
everybody's out for themselves. I don't typically surround myself with
those types of people.”

Alexis Bellino
While
she still believes her husband, Jim, is “king,” the 32-year-old
stay-at-home mom wants more autonomy. She
recently launched a dress line.
“For the past two months I have
been waking up in cold sweats in the middle of the night because I was
tormented about the fact that maybe my Christian fans might ridicule me
this season because I am more outspoken. I was constantly second-guessing what I had done that week during filming. I was paranoid.”

Tamra Barney
Recently unchained from her husband Simon Barney, the 43-year-old is moving into a new house and making new friends and frenemies.
On
her divorce: “I tried everything from getting a boob job to keeping a
sex calendar. … I wanted to do everything I can to keep things
alive. A lot of guys want to say 'Oh, we never have sex.' I had proof
that we did! I did everything. We did therapy. It just doesn't always
work out.”

Gretchen Rossi
The pressure is on for the 33-year-old to take the next step with her boyfriend, Slade Smiley. It's rumored they'll announce an engagement this season.
“Every
year I'm, like, there's not going to be any drama and then, of course,
there is tons of drama. First episode, me and Tamara are already boxing
each other so you can't put five flamboyant women in a room, strong
confident women, and not expect some drama and cat fights.”

Peggy Tanous
As
the newest cast member, the 41-year-old stay-at-home mom is expected to
revive her modeling career and “open up about an emotional secret.”
“Just
dropped my li'l sis off at LAX. So sad. She's on her way back 2
Nicaragua to finish one more year of her Peace Corps assignment!”

Fernanda Rocha
While the 34-year-old Brazilian lesbian isn't technically a “housewife”
(perhaps her hair isn't quite light enough?), she'll be hanging around
and causing a stir when she gets topless with Tamra for a charity
fund-raiser.
“My dream is to be in Playboy. There has only been one other openly lesbian centerfold, and I would love to be the second.”
