"The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 11 premiered with a bang as the drama and action reached its all-time high in the reality show's epic small screen return.

But the cast of "RHOC" is just getting started with star Tamra Judge promising more fun and mayhem in "The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 11.

"There is so much real stuff that's going on. We are going through real-life things," Judge told People, adding that it's not about petty arguments or not being invited to a party "or whatever. "

"We don't have that this year. We have real-life stuff," Judge went to say, teasing that "The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 11 will be meatier than the previous seasons of the hit series.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 11 premiere saw Judge prepare for a fitness competition. Her will to win is fueled by her desire to show the world that age doesn't matter in fitness.

During her People interview, however, Judge teased that she will be spending a lot of time with her granddaughter Ava, who suffers from a kidney condition, in "The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 11.

The new season also continues the story from the previous season about Vicki Gunvalson, who was shunned by the other housewives when news broke out about her ex-boyfriend's feigning cancer.

The drama in "The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 11 will mostly come from the fact that people got "a little more ballsy [and] more aggressive," as Gunvalson said.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 11 will still feature a bit of party drama as Heather Dubrow organized a party on a yacht inviting Vicki to come along despite everyone else banishing her from the circle.

Shannon Beador and Meghan King Edmonds are also back for "The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 11 along with original "RHOC" wife Jeana Keough, who described her return as "a fun ride."

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" season 11 airs its second episode, titled "Making Friends but Not Amends," on Monday, June 27 at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. The synopsis is as follows:

Heather travels to Turks and Caicos to help Terry reconnect with their children; Tamra tries to save Ryan and Sarah's relationship; Kelly decides to befriend Vicki; Meghan invites the women over to her new house to demolish her kitchen.
