Nov. 7 2013, Published 1:25 p.m. ET
The Real Housewives of Orange County will be seeing a major cast shakeup this season, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Amid unconfirmed reports of cast firings, the three sole survivors — Tamra Barney, Heather Dubrow and Vicki Gunvalson — have begun filming together in Oahu, Hawaii.
Tamra posted a photo to Instagram of the three Bravolebrities, with a tell-tale caption: "Last three standing.”
Indeed, the photo appears to confirm the rumors that Gretchen Rossi and Alexis Bellino won't be returning for the series’ season nine, as had been speculated.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Lydia McLaughlin revealed this week that she also won't be returning after just one season.
The Housewives headed to the tropical location, where Heather has been filming scenes for the CBS cop drama Hawaii Five-O.
Tamra and Vicki flew out to see her after she wrapped up the show on November 5.
"It's a wrap!" Heather captioned a collage of photos of herself from the show's set. "Now off for some fun with @tamrabarney @vgunvalson in Hawaii! #RHOC."
