Emily and Gina appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen just one day before the reunion taping, and Andy asked them, "How are you guys feeling about the reunion that's about to happen?"

Both ladies stated that they were feeling "ready," although Gina made it clear that she was particularly eager for one major reason: to confront Shannon. As she put it, "I'm looking forward to seeing Shannon because I'm going to say everything that I have to say there. It's gonna be a day."

Added Emily, "I'm bringing my popcorn and my tacos. And my turkey sub."

Also on an episode of WWHL, Taylor noted, “I think that Shannon has a lot of history with Gina that I’m just learning a lot about. I’m looking forward to airing it all at the reunion.”

Tamra revealed that she “forgot how hard it was” to film the reunion during a recent episode of her podcast, adding, “It was heated, because they’re all heated, right? I feel like there was a lot of resolution, and I feel like there was a lot of… there was some dirt brought up, so dirty.”

“It was, leading up to it, so stressful for me. More stressful than normal,” Tamra said. “I mean, I’ve had my bad years where it’s been brutal, and this wasn’t exactly a horrible year for me, but it wasn’t a walk in the park.”
