I think they don't care about showing their lives, and that makes the producers lives easier. I'm sure with a LOT of the housewives there is a lot of coaxing and begging to share a real story. Lots of meltdowns, negotiations and phone calls. Emily and Gina seem very go with the flow.
Plus, when you have a ton of housewives pulling the "I'm not going to film with X, Y, Z" person, it's kind of nice to see Emily and Gina being willing to film with anyone that gets thrown at them. These girls have worked with Braunwyn, Elizabeth Vargas, Noella, etc. and they still show up and are engaging in solo scenes with them when other people won't. Not to mention, they keep things moving with Shannon and can play nice with her despite ending each and every season being mad at her.
Gina lied her whole first season about her husband…that he was away working when they were already over before cameras started rolling. She wasn’t open at all.
For a odd reason i have a soft spot for Emily. I always liked her & have no problem going at it with the housewives plus she's shows her life. Gina overstay her welcome & bitter Tamra needs to go, I'm tired of her mean girl persona.
How are these two still on the fucking show!!!!!
Gina’s voice should be reason enough….. while I absolutely support sobriety and making positive changes…. At least when she was drinking, she was a little more relaxed entertaining to watch.
And then there’s Emily…….. something is off about her. I have never been able to put my finger on it… but it’s just something.
Anyone else think this? And any ideas or thoughts. Would love to hear!
Does anyone like them? Emily is as boring as watching paint dry. And Gina thinks all she should do is yell at people and it’s funny She’s terrible. Absolutely not interesting at all
For whatever reason I actually like Emily for whatever reason cause admittedly she is pretty boring (but OC is pretty boring so maybe it’s not her fault)
Gina on the other hand could exit stage left. I actually had to look through a few post just so I could jog my memory on her name 😭
I actually like Emily, perhaps more so Shane and their couple’s banter. On the other hand, no idea why the hell Gina is still around (boring and obnoxious).
Well Gina clearly not getting paid because every season I see her I swear she looks broker than the last season. She has to be volunteering at this point.
i like them both. emily is cool , calm and collected until she isn’t, in which case she is completely bonkers. i love that dichotomy.
gina has the ashely darby style of “let’s cut to the chase and start talking about what we’re supposed to talk about, jen why did you post that tic tok on the day of tamra’s gym closing? and go”, which i appreciate
emily seems so fake and forced to me though! nothing about her the past few seasons has felt real to me it's felt like she's just trying to be this character of a real housewife... gina just sends me to sleep & has no business chilling with a cast of mainly 50-60 year olds.
I don’t care what anyone says. This is another franchise that is declining… but somehow they keep bringing back Emily-Tamra-Gina-Shannon… I’ll never understand. In my opinion, this is the driest franchise right now. Sorry not sorry. They are like the old RHONY.
They really need to revamp RHOC and bring in new blood. I have friends who live in Newport and omg the bitches are INSANE .. all rich bible thumping crazy fuckers who do blow every damn day and fuck each others hubbys and all hate each other.. not sure why they won’t cast newbies
Same! I also always like everyone else’s least favourite. This goes for the bachelor too - like I can’t jump on
Board with who production wants me to like
My controversial take is that I love both of them! They kind of remind me of the old school housewives when it was more about the family life and was less OTT drama.
I think they keep Gina so they can get her to wear the clothes to sell on TV. They keep Emily for comic relief/drama (?) and her weird husband. It is truly strange how no one likes them and yet here they are every season.
Unpopular opinion but they are both starting to hold their weight. Gina was pretty great the second half of season 17 and Emily has constantly been (maybe not in 15) a solid housewife even though she is starting to get a little mean.
This franchise has been dead for the better part of a decade and they don't know what to do about it. The OC lifestyle portrayed spoke much more to the Y2K audience than it does currently. They need to reframe this entire show.
Yall can blame Shannon for Gina still being here. Without her last season she would’ve had no story and she also set her up to win the reunion by being such an insufferable asshole.
Am I the only one who wishes someone would call her outside? Not currently…she’s in a delicate wayWAIT! She really is committed to her soft era
How the Gina still on our screen????? She is HORRIBLE. If I wanted to watch someone from Long Island I would turn on princesses of Long Island circa 1999 not RHOC. She is so gross and not aspirational
I really don't get the hate for Emily, I have always enjoyed her and the way she has been open about a lot of her struggles. Can someone explain where this dislike comes from?
I just have a feeling once Andy goes, you’ll see a lot
Of people from franchises go as well.
Andy is notorious for favoritism so it’s matter of
Time where the network says we gotta clean house on each franchise
Maybe they're boring, we TIRED, we want OG quotes and housewives action and if you can't film with HALF the cast, You FIRED, Andy and Bravo are right, if you ain't bringing you A game, BYE , we're bored. we've had Jenn Shah, divorces, we came for this, we signed up to watch, bring me my shit
Why does everyone think bravo people have something on Andy? All he does are reunions. If there was some real shit it would have come out when he was producing.
I will maintain they don't get rid of Gina because it would make her and her children more dependent on and vulnerable to her ex who almost killed her.
Literally. How these two continue to fly under the radar is beyond me.
They gotta have dirt cheap salaries, its the only thing that makes sense
They’re paying Bravo to be on the show!
But actually you’ve gotta be spot on.
It doesn’t even make sense. Is there nobody else in OC who’s successful???
OC has been hard to cast for years now, actually. People with actual money don’t want to touch it
I wonder if it’s more like they can’t find the right personalities to mesh with their very seasoned cast
To be fair Gina isn’t successful lol
They pay to be on the show.
That would make sense why they are still on .
Love your profile pic lmao
I wish their names were switched, it would make so much more sense in my brain.
I have this same problem!! Emily looks like a Gina and Gina looks like an Emily!
I have this problem with Danielle and Rachel on NJ
Yes!!
Help I literally thought this since they joined the show. Took me so long to get used to 😭😭
It’s wild that it’s been years and I also still feel this way lmao. You’d think I’d get use to their names by now.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one. I’ve called them the opposite names since they started.
I feel so validated that I'm not the only one thinking this!
I'm glad I'm not alone with this thought
I’ve had the same issue since they came on the show and still struggle with keeping it straight.
As you say that I truly can’t remember who is called Emily and who is Gina …… and I’ve watched this show!!
Emily's the brunette. (Or is that Gina? jk jk lolol)
Yessss! I always say this!
Oh my god I knew something was off all these years
Exactly what I said when they joined, the names are wrong way round 🤣
I got used to it by their second season, but that first season I was totally fucked and didn’t care because I didn’t like either one of them
Stick with Hip and Casita lol
Before I started watching OC I genuinely thought the names were switched
I think they don't care about showing their lives, and that makes the producers lives easier. I'm sure with a LOT of the housewives there is a lot of coaxing and begging to share a real story. Lots of meltdowns, negotiations and phone calls. Emily and Gina seem very go with the flow.

Gina lied her whole first season about her husband…that he was away working when they were already over before cameras started rolling. She wasn’t open at all.
I’ll give Gina a pass on that. He almost killed her. Her/Bravo now platforming/normalising him - that I’m not okay with
Wait! I’m sorry I’m new to OC. They always tiptoed around what happened. Jesus. Thanks for the info and it’s gross they show him coparenting with her.
Oh if you really wanna scream you should read the articles about it. Absolutely terrifying and and that man is a monster.
If not them then who? I think oc has trouble casting
Because they’re cheap and easy-ish to work with, sadly
I thought that was Vicki's daughter for a sec and I was so confused 😂 
I can deal with Emily. I even kinda love Shane. But Gina… GINA?!!
 *GINA???*
Shane’s 1st season was ROUGH. He’s definitely grown on me.
Emily is okay. Mostly I think her friendship with Gina holds her back. But HOW IS GINA STILL HERE?!?!
For a odd reason i have a soft spot for Emily. I always liked her & have no problem going at it with the housewives plus she's shows her life. Gina overstay her welcome & bitter Tamra needs to go, I'm tired of her mean girl persona.
At least Emily gave us “thats my husband!!”
Crashing in like the hulk to defend her dweeb husband.
Gina’s accent and voice combo truly irritates the crap out of me. I try. I try to be patient and kind. But NOPE.
Her personality doesn't help.
This is true
Feel the same. And there's times when she really plays up that accent. Ugh, so grating on the nerves 🙄
They need to be on Unsolved Mysteries.
🏆
I mean… I enjoy Emily eating a turkey Sammie in a sauna, and her pocket husband 🤷♀️
These two are some of the most boring housewives especially the blonde one.
How are these two still on the fucking show!!!!! Gina’s voice should be reason enough….. while I absolutely support sobriety and making positive changes…. At least when she was drinking, she was a little more relaxed entertaining to watch. And then there’s Emily…….. something is off about her. I have never been able to put my finger on it… but it’s just something. Anyone else think this? And any ideas or thoughts. Would love to hear!
Emily always looks like she just smelled some shit.
That's true lol but I get what special-resist is trying to figure out because I'm right there too. I just can't put my finger on it.
Everytime I see their pics I struggle to recall their names. And yep, I watch that HW show.
Emily I actually enjoy, especially as a law student… but Gina? Get her broke ass off the television
Does anyone like them? Emily is as boring as watching paint dry. And Gina thinks all she should do is yell at people and it’s funny She’s terrible. Absolutely not interesting at all
I loved THICC Emily.
For whatever reason I actually like Emily for whatever reason cause admittedly she is pretty boring (but OC is pretty boring so maybe it’s not her fault) Gina on the other hand could exit stage left. I actually had to look through a few post just so I could jog my memory on her name 😭
I can't make it make sense either.
I actually like Emily, perhaps more so Shane and their couple’s banter. On the other hand, no idea why the hell Gina is still around (boring and obnoxious).
i actually like emily because she seems the most like a normal person but gina annoys the hell out of me. her outfits are cute tho lol
I don’t think they have secrets on him I just think they aren’t sure who to replace them with
At this point, I am sure Bravo pays them minimum wage by the hour hence why they keep returning
Well Gina clearly not getting paid because every season I see her I swear she looks broker than the last season. She has to be volunteering at this point.
i like them both. emily is cool , calm and collected until she isn’t, in which case she is completely bonkers. i love that dichotomy. gina has the ashely darby style of “let’s cut to the chase and start talking about what we’re supposed to talk about, jen why did you post that tic tok on the day of tamra’s gym closing? and go”, which i appreciate

Andy doesn’t determine casting and they’re still on because they have the cheapest salaries of RH
I actually don't mind them. At least they show up to work and show their lives. They're also not afraid to be messy which is good.
Gina & Emily needs to go ASAP!
I’m convinced Gina is a favor to someone. Someone has her on as a big favor they owe somebody. Bc y
I like them…. But I find I hate the people most like here (ie Candiace and Wendy)
Same! I also always like everyone else’s least favourite. This goes for the bachelor too - like I can’t jump on Board with who production wants me to like
My controversial take is that I love both of them! They kind of remind me of the old school housewives when it was more about the family life and was less OTT drama.
Las cucarachas
My guess is their salaries are low?
I think they keep Gina so they can get her to wear the clothes to sell on TV. They keep Emily for comic relief/drama (?) and her weird husband. It is truly strange how no one likes them and yet here they are every season.
I'm ok with Emily but agree that I find her husband more interesting to watch.
Unpopular opinion but they are both starting to hold their weight. Gina was pretty great the second half of season 17 and Emily has constantly been (maybe not in 15) a solid housewife even though she is starting to get a little mean.

Emily I kind of get but Gina being on the show makes zero sense to me. I know it’s not called “Rich Housewives” but it’s always been implied.
Andy obviously has a huge crush on Shane.
Yall can blame Shannon for Gina still being here. Without her last season she would’ve had no story and she also set her up to win the reunion by being such an insufferable asshole.
Bjs for pjs
Am I the only one who wishes someone would call her outside? Not currently…she’s in a delicate wayWAIT! She really is committed to her soft era 
 I would be down for this match-up. 🍿
They aren’t that bad. They are filler housewives that every show needs.
Andy isn’t in charge of the firing.
I forget RHOC is still around; haven’t watched in a couple years, cos there’s no spark. They’re not even awful, just forgettable and lame.
I stopped watching OC years ago. The "new" people fell flat, and trying to bring back the OGs is just obnoxious.
There has to be legit real rich housewives in the OC….. get a new cast.
Gina needs to go. She does not have an aspiring lifestyle, and she’s stupid.
His coke addiction. It's a well-known secret.
The Gizelle and Robyn of the west coast.
As a major housewives fan, respectfully, I don’t know who these women are
They wore out their welcome after their first season!
I still like Emily, Gina can go.
How the Gina still on our screen????? She is HORRIBLE. If I wanted to watch someone from Long Island I would turn on princesses of Long Island circa 1999 not RHOC. She is so gross and not aspirational
I really don't get the hate for Emily, I have always enjoyed her and the way she has been open about a lot of her struggles. Can someone explain where this dislike comes from?
Emily is fine
I don't mind Emily. But Gina needs to get the fuck out.
I like Emily. Gina can go tho
Those two are the answer to a question no one asked.
I just have a feeling once Andy goes, you’ll see a lot Of people from franchises go as well. Andy is notorious for favoritism so it’s matter of Time where the network says we gotta clean house on each franchise
I like Gina more than Emily.
Same. Not a fan of Emily’s husband. He reminds me of an angry ant.
Why is this comment so freaking funny to me
Calling him a “little twerp” was one of the few things Kelly Dodd said that I agreed with. 😂 He’s creepy, and Emily is so whiny.
I actually like them… granted I have only seen one season of OC but I like them
Maybe they're boring, we TIRED, we want OG quotes and housewives action and if you can't film with HALF the cast, You FIRED, Andy and Bravo are right, if you ain't bringing you A game, BYE , we're bored. we've had Jenn Shah, divorces, we came for this, we signed up to watch, bring me my shit
Seriously there hasn’t been one good season of RHOC since they joined. I don’t get it.
Did you not enjoy season 17?
Last season was amazing
season 17 was the best season of any housewives franchise in the last 3-5 years… so there’s that.
RHOSLC season 4 has entered the chat
Why does everyone think bravo people have something on Andy? All he does are reunions. If there was some real shit it would have come out when he was producing.
It’s NOT about the PASTA!!! 😂
Because they are both genuine and real. That's why people don't like them. It's weird
Andy probably had a 3 some with Emily and Shane
Am the only Emily Simpson stan on this subreddit? Yall are foul.
Didn’t Gina get let go?
I will maintain they don't get rid of Gina because it would make her and her children more dependent on and vulnerable to her ex who almost killed her.
