RHOC’s return has been much anticipated, and fans have been waiting. On April 1, 2023, they got a sneak peek of what to expect from the upcoming season, or so they thought, as Tamra Judge, who has been a cast member since season three, pretended to release season 17’s trailer as a joke.
As soon as the reality star's prank became clear to the fans, they were let down and expressed their mixed emotions on Twitter.
One viewer stated:
"Girl, I almost had a heart attack."

While the much-awaited trailer and season are still to come, the day of jokes and pranks was upon everyone this week, and one mischievous RHOC cast member thought it would be fun to play with fans’ hearts by fooling them with a still image and passing it off as season 17’s trailer. Tamra Judge, who has been on the Bravo show, pranked everyone by pretending to release the trailer of RHOC season 17.
The excitement that fans felt quickly turned into disappointment, as they took to social media to react to the post. One user stated that it was "not since." They added that they "just scrambled" for their headphones and clicked on the image so quickly that they "got a finger sprain."
Another person said that they almost broke their screen trying to press play repeatedly.
