"I really wanted to come full circle and have some closure with the women," Maloof tells us. "I think I’m better equipped now to deal with what to expect from 'Housewives.'"
"I was a little nervous on the first day of shooting, which is to be expected," she says of her return. "Some of the old feelings came back, so it was a little bittersweet. But overall, it was good to see all the ladies."
And while she played it coy on who she'll be feuding with this year, Adrienne said we will see fireworks from the "Days of Our Lives" veteran.
"You're going to see her in a combative way," she said of Rinna. "She’s really going to defend her family, and I respect her for that."
Plus, watch the video below to learn more about Adrienne in our "Housewives Speed Round," where she reveals her celebrity crush, her surprising pick for favorite TV show and the "baggy" item of clothing she can't live without.
Adrienne Maloof will join Lisa Vanderpump, Brandi Glanville, Kim Richards, Kyle Richards, Yolanda Foster, Camille Grammer and newbies Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson.
