'Real Housewives Of Orange County' Premiere: Tamra And Gretchen Bury The Hatchet (VIDEO)

Just as one set of "Housewives" end their run another batch steps up to take their place. On the Season 7 Premiere of "The Real Housewives Of Orange County" (Tues., 9 p.m. EST on Bravo), frenemies Gretchen Rossi and Tamra Barney finally sat down to talk out their issues.

Their ongoing feud simmered throughout Season 6 and into the post-season "Reunion," but has the drama taken its toll on the pair? Could they now be ready to bury the hatchet and move on with their lives?

Tamra opened the discussion by telling Gretchen, "Neither one of us are angels in any part of this." For her part, Gretchen said, "I'm sick of being angry about it. ... I've spent so much time being angry about it."

As they pondered their feud, Tamra made an astounding announcement: "I was totally at fault. I apologize from deep in my heart."

Yes, you heard that right. For the first time in what feels like eons, one "Real Housewife" actually apologized to another one.

The women then sat down to share a meal and Tamra gave her former nemesis a gift. A pink bracelet -- is she branching out into jewelry design? -- with an attached key. They could use the key to either "lock up our past and put it behind us, or we can use it to open up our future as friends."

The chat ended with a toast: As Gretchen flailed for the right words to follow "Here's to ... " Tamra quipped, "no more bullsh*t!"

Think the truce will last? Find out as Season 7 of "The Real Housewives Of Orange County" continues on Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.

I'm sorry but all these women look like hookers. Who dresses like that all day and night unless you are "Working" the sidewalks. I have been out in the working world and I have never seen the women come to work looking like these people. And Vicki, I hope all your relationships fail. Don was a good person and you totally dissed him. I am sure you had this new guy hiding in the closet till you got rid of Don. You should be ashamed of yourself. I hope Don takes you to the cleaners where you belong.

Tamra is the meanest, nastiest most hurtful person on television. incidentally, eddie is not cute at all.looks like he never bathes but i know tamra is desperate for another sponsor. looks like tamra also had some work done on her face; it's quite obvious.

My take on this is that the only reason Tamra is "burying the hatchet" with Gretchen is because Vicki has moved on with her new relationship, not sure if she makes any time for Tamra anymore.. New gals coming aboard and Tamra wants THEM on her side not on Gretchen and Alexia's side (childish I know).. Tamra seems to operate like that... Gretchen better sleep with one eye open...............mark my words!

Tamra looks like she's had some work done. Vicky still thinks she's Cinderella. As for Gretchen, what in the world does she see in that leech, Slade. He's nothing to look at.
