Last Thursday's taping for the "Real Housewives of Orange County" Season 9 reunion special, which is scheduled to air on August 25, was "full of emotion, and it was all aimed at Tamra Judge," according to Radar Online's insider source.

The source revealed that "Heather Dubrow actually apologized to Shannon Beador for the way she was treated this season and for things that were said. In return, both ladies took their anger out on Tamra, accusing her of stirring up drama and being a disloyal friend who spreads gossip." Shannon's husband David also blew off some steam against Tamra for having lied and causing his wife to be so upset.

And as if that weren't enough, according to the insider, "Vicki Gunvalson was also very mad at Tamra for betraying her trust, and continuing her vendetta against then-boyfriend Brooks Ayers."

So thanks to Tamra things did turn out fine at the taping. "There were tons of fighting, and tears, which always equates to excellent ratings," said the source. The producers were very happy with the end result. The Season 9 reunion special will make for a great watch for those who enjoy seeing drama and intrigue unfold, seemingly unscripted, in the lives of apparently ordinary housewives.

In other Tamra-related gossip news, People online magazine said that this Orange County housewife had her own meltdown just after being told by her son Ryan Vieth that he will quit his job and move to Auburn, California, to marry his girlfriend on September 6. The girlfriend, Sarah Rodriguez, is a gun store owner and a mother of three. So what about Sarah? Tamra said, "She kind of look like me. It's weird."
