Casting For RHO Orange County Is Under Way!

This just in: "The Real Housewives of Orange County," the reality TV show many of you love (or love to hate), is casting for an unprecedented sixth season.

An ad posted on Craig's List last night by Evolution Media, the company that produces “Real Housewives of O.C.,” calls for “outgoing, exciting, strong, focused women who reside in Orange County and want to share their lives with us.”

“We are looking for women who are ‘Housewives’ in the present-day sense,” the ad states. “They should be lively and energetic, with defined opinions and views. The women need to have busy lives, be involved with the community, have a strong work ethic and an active social calendar. Most of all, these women need to be enjoying the ‘good life.’ We love women who are self-confident and happy with whom they are.

“The women, their significant others and families must be open to sharing their experiences with the producers and the television audience.

“Please e-mail your: name, a bit about you, where you live, a current photo(s) and a contact phone number to mark.neal@evolutionusa.com.”

Current “housewife” Tamra Barney has also posted a link on her Facebook page.

Now before you get too excited, you should know that this type of casting call goes out every year, and new “Housewives of O.C.” are rarely chosen this way.

The newest cast member, Alexis Bellino, was recommended by current O.C. housewives and hand-picked by the producers, while Gretchen Rossi, who joined the cast during season 4, was recommended by former “housewife” Jo De La Rosa and her ex-fiancĂ©, Slade Smiley (now Gretchen’s boyfriend). Lynne Curtin, who joined in the middle of season 4, did audition for the show.

“The Real Housewives of Orange County” finished its fifth season in March. No official word has been released yet about the sixth season, but current housewife Bellino said at the opening of the Newport Beach Film Festival last month that filming will begin in July.
