AceShowbiz - Tamra Judge, a mainstay on "The Real Housewives of Orange County", has expressed her desire to continue her tenure on the show for several more seasons. "I definitely want to push through to season 20," Judge said of the series, which is currently airing its 18th season. "I think that 20 is going to be just spectacular."

Judge's return to the show in season 17 was met with enthusiasm, and she has been a part of the franchise for 14 seasons. She believes that season 20 will be a milestone and a celebration for the cast and fans alike.

Regarding the possibility of newcomer Katie Ginella returning for another season, Judge emphasized that she does not make those decisions but that fans may need to give her another chance to prove herself. Judge also expressed her excitement about her daughter Sophia Barney's increased presence in the upcoming episodes, showcasing her musical talents.

However, the show's recent episode sparked controversy when Shannon Beador was confronted by Heather Dubrow and Judge about allegedly admitting that $75,000 she received from John Janssen was a loan. Beador's inconsistent statements on the issue led to accusations of dishonesty and damaged trust among the cast.

Despite the drama, Judge remains a strong advocate for Beador, defending her against criticism from Dubrow and Gina Kirschenheiter. Judge believes that Beador is trying to work on herself and is not the victim that some perceive her to be.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" airs Thursdays on Bravo.
