Vicki Gunvalson's Role
Vicki, the "OG of the OC," is set to take center stage in RHUGT Season 6, kicking off the journey in her hometown of Orange County. As the "hidden gem" of the franchise, Vicki highlights the beauty and exclusivity of Coto de Caza, where she and her fellow Housewives first made their mark on Bravo.
"Everybody has their time with their city," Vicki explains. "For me to have all the girls in Orange County, they were really impressed with Orange County. It's a hidden gem. It's just a beautiful place to live."
The '80s-Themed Bunco Party
One of the key events in Vicki's leg of the trip is a recreation of RHOC Season 7's iconic '80s-themed Bunco party. While the original game night was filled with drama, Vicki teases that this time around, she managed to avoid any major meltdowns.
"I think the fans are gonna love the girls' trip," Vicki says. "We all had fun. There was a little bit of conflict and drama, but it was so much fun."
Vicki's Bonded Castmates
When asked about her closest bonds on the trip, Vicki reveals her strong connections with Kyle Richards and Lisa Barlow. She also mentions her love for Porsha and Luann, indicating a diverse range of relationships within the cast.
"I'm really close to Lisa Barlow and Kyle Richards," Vicki shares. "Kyle and I shared a room together in a couple of the cities we were at, but all the girls are fabulous. I love Porsha. I love Luann. Everybody was fabulous."
Teresa Giudice's Conflict with Vicki
Teresa Giudice, on the other hand, teases a clash between herself and Vicki, characterizing the trip as "pretty amazing" and emphasizing that no one crossed any lines.
"I was hurt by something that Vicki said," Teresa recalls. "I was opening up and being vulnerable and then she lashed out and said things that I felt were not right to say at that moment when I was opening up and being vulnerable. She should have thought before she spoke."
Porsha's Take on the Drama
Porsha Williams, while acknowledging Vicki's involvement in some conflicts, highlights her own separate issues with Luann. She adds a touch of humor to the situation, stating, "I mean I got my bite, I had to get a little piece of drama. But the most drama, I would say it has to be half and half between Luann and Vicki."
Kyle's Prankster Nature
Kyle Richards, known for her playful pranks, surprises the cast with her antics during the trip. She teases a haunted hotel experience in the Berkshires, where she played on the locals' fears, even involving non-cast members from Atlanta.
"I was really having fun doing practical jokes on people," Kyle says. "We were told the hotel was haunted, so I had to have fun with that. Everybody was actually terrified. The second you walk in, even if you're not a believer in those things, you are like, 'Oh, this hotel's haunted.' You can feel it a lot."
Kyle's Interaction with Support Systems
Kyle highlights the joy of interacting with the built-in support systems of her fellow Housewives. She appreciates the opportunity to connect with the right-hand people of other cast members, creating a sense of family and camaraderie.
"We had our people that have been there since day one, that really do feel like family to me and know every single thing about my life," Kyle explains. "The other girls on the other shows have their people too. So, I was meeting their right-hand person, and they were meeting ours. It was really fun."
Lisa's Take on the Trip
Lisa Barlow shares her perspective on the trip, emphasizing the diverse range of experiences and conflicts that unfolded. She notes that everyone had their moments of drama, but ultimately, it was a positive and memorable journey.
"When the Salt Lake girls came to visit, they probably were the toughest, meaning the meanest," Lisa says. "But I think we all had something different happen throughout the trip. It was great, but a lot."
Kyle's Reflection on Drama
Kyle reflects on the inevitable drama that arises when Housewives from different cities come together. She encourages a sense of calm and celebration, reminding everyone to save their drama for another time.
"Interestingly enough, when we would go to visit the cities and all the Housewives that come from all these other cities there a lot of drama with them," Kyle says. "And I was like, 'Everybody, calm down. Save it. We're just here celebrating 20 years of Housewives.' But inevitably, there ends up being drama."
Gizelle's Perspective
Gizelle Bryant, known for her dramatic flair, brings her own brand of entertainment to the trip. She jokes about the balance between good and bad drama, emphasizing the overall positive experience.
"There was good drama, and there was bad drama," Gizelle says. "Gizelle brought the good drama. And, as always, there was some bad drama. But overall, it was a great time."
Luann's Take on Vicki
Luann de Lesseps admits that her relationship with Vicki is not as strong as some others, attributing it to their differing personalities and lack of familiarity.
"The biggest conflict I had was maybe with Vicki because we don't know each other that well," Luann says. "We're just two different people."
Luann's Perspective on the Trip
Luann reflects on the trip's dynamics, emphasizing that the drama was specific to each city and not a universal experience. She highlights the unique challenges faced by the women in each location.
"It was dramatic in every city," Luann says. "It wasn't my drama when we went to Atlanta. It wasn't my drama when I went to Miami. It wasn't my drama when we went to Los Angeles. So, it was kind of interesting, because it was like, 'Well, that's your problem.' But I wasn't in it."
The Takeaway
RHUGT Season 6 promises to be a dramatic and entertaining journey, with a diverse cast bringing their unique personalities and storylines to the forefront.
