Most successful reunion ever? You'll have to tune in next week to find out.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

But for Vicki Gunvalson, the experience wasn't so bad. "I left not crying, which was the first time I've done that," she tells the Dish. "Typically, I storm off and cry and say 'I'm never coming back again!'"

Overall, Vicki reveals that she had a blast this season—particularly compared to Season 8's drama between her, daughter Briana, and on-again-off-again boyfriend Brooks Ayers.

"It was a good season," she says. "People resonated that I'm the voice of reason. I still have a brain and an amazing career!"

She may not say the same about her castmates. "Yes, they're all crazy!" she jokes. "If I'm the sane one exiting out, then that works out well!"

There are plenty of other high points for Vicki to Woo-Hoo about. She recently published a book about financial advice for women, which has gone on to become a best-seller on Amazon. And her daughter, Briana, joyously welcomed the birth of her newborn, making Vicki a grandma once again.

Watch some behind-the-scenes drama from the Reunion and tune in next Monday for the first part.
