50 Thoughts I Had Watching RHUGT: Roaring 20th - Episode 2

We are only two episodes in to the Real Housewives Ultimate Girl Trip: Roaring 20th, and oh wow, these women are putting on a good show. Andy and the team at Bravo really nailed it with this cast. Not only did they choose iconic women to feature in this celebratory season, they picked women who they knew would bring the drama.

Sunday night's episode left me flabbergasted, so all I can do is share the fragmented thoughts that rushed through my mind as I watched the episode...

  1. Opening the episode with the women talking about how excited they are to leave OC was a reflection of how all of us feel, GET US OUT OF HERE!
  2. Kyle having a difficult moment over her 30th anniversary and the text Mauricio sent was sweet, but the message also felt like a text a hungover man sends after being out all night and waking up alone. I've been that man.
  3. There are no words to describe the horror I experienced watching the conversation between Vicki and Kyle. The face that Vicki felt like she had the right saying things like "you should be [ashamed]" and "you're showing your kids you can take the easy way out". The audacity of a woman who cheated on one man for another who ended up faking cancer to say something so out of pocket like this is shocking.
  4. Seeing Vicki say "God hates divorce" in the clip was...painful.
  5. Kyle took this Vicki feedback well and her "I don't want to be like Vicki" comment spoke to more things than just regret over divorce.
  6. The way all the women supported Kyle in the van only made Vicki's reaction seem even worse.
  7. Vicki's self-importance is so evident in her "I'm very important and working" comment while the rest of the ladies enjoy themselves and make the show. There is absolutely nothing about Coto Insurance that needs Vicki to be working so intently.
  8. "It's conversation conflict to me", is definitely selfish, I'm wrong, talk.
  9. Lisa makes a good point, the sprinter van, really any vehicle transporting the women, are where the best "conflict conversations" happen and she needs to get into it.
  10. Gizelle and Luann better calm down with Vicki or the snake will strike and ruin Beverly Hills for all of us.
  11. Teresa finally bringing up the comments on the boat about her face and taxes was the calmest I have ever seen Teresa, she must be on the best medicine or she is actually the most changed housewife of them all.
  12. Luann comparing Vicki to Ramona when she interrupted Teresa to point out the designer store was...amazing, I laughed out loud.
  13. The producers making it a point to not it was not Andy that asked the question, "Who is the most overrated housewife", was perfection.
  14. All of the women talking about how amazing the Beverly Hills wives are felt so iconic. These women have really served up season after season of drama and luscious fashions.
  15. The women pulling up to the Beverly Hilton made me spit my drink out. I've stayed in those musty rooms for events before and the black lacquered furniture turned my stomach.
  16. "Who is Hunky Dory" always gives me a chuckle.
  17. Teresa petting Luann's legs. That's the entire thought.
  18. Portia and Kyle...I feel a vibe, these ladies....and yes I am shipping the two gay girls.
  19. Kyle's daughter laughing at her anniversary breakdown felt good and like a peak into how the kids are doing with all of it.
  20. Luann, all tarted up, about to FaceTime. Is it her daughter or son to check in or maybe Dorinda to keep the show in the "family"? Nope, we hear Luann's boyfriend say "Oh, yeah. Here we go, baby..." It felt like they were about to kick the cameras out so they could have phone sex. I'd love to see a timestamp on when she arrived at the party.
  21. All of these women are so stunning, I would never dare to wear silky pajamas on national television, too many folds.
  22. All the room service food looked cold.
  23. Luann and Vicki next to one another is wild. They almost look like second cousins but it also feels like they both hold so much energy inside that they shouldn't be able to be that close to one another.
  24. The clips of Vicki gagging? No thank you.
  25. The ladies nailed it - well all need to relax, shut our laptops and get laid.
  26. When orgasms came up, Vicki stiffened into a rod. The other ladies could feel it, she is so defensive and reactive when it comes to anything other than drinking and insurance.
  27. It almost feels like the popular girls (all of them except Vicki) invited the unpopular girl with family ties (Vicki - the OG housewife) on a trip and are all in on a joke she isn't and it's fantastic and causing Vicki to be very on edge.
  28. Teresa...don't make me think about the noises Vicki makes in bed.
  29. Kyle trying to 'Kyle' and give advice and fix the 'problem' will not go over well in this room of women, I wonder where she will fall on this trip and if she will explode from not being able to give advice.
  30. Kyle does better splits than that girl on Love Island.
  31. Seeing Luann up on the coffee table filled my mind with a vision of her falling into the bush drunk all those years ago, and I was worried for 5 seconds.
  32. I loved seeing the women tempt Vicki with the life insurance forms as an aphrodisiac.
  33. Lisa getting emotional about being so happy with the ladies was a great summary of how the SLC cast feels right now. No one can laugh, but it's not always at her expense, it's usually her starting shit.
  34. The throwback to Portia was wild. She definitely has so much more life in her and her citing the women as inspiration was a lovely touch.
  35. The ugly leather pants party felt like too niche of a joke, especially since the woman they are referencing hasn't been on the show in a few seasons.
  36. Gizelle...there is such a thing as ugly leather pants.
  37. Crystal in the ugly pants and top....and admitting it's ugly...next to Sutton who also looks....like an adult child...I may take back my earlier comment about the Beverly Hills ladies and their fashion.
  38. Vicki mixing up Crystal and Sutton...all she cares about is getting her flowers. So unashamed.
  39. Luann moving her place card to be away from Vicki felt like old school real housewives fun.
  40. Gizelle calling The Quiet Woman, The Quiet Storm offended Vicki ALMOST as much as Luann calling her Porky Pig instead of Ms. Piggy.
  41. Finally, Vicki finally throws the arrow she wanted to throw since Gizelle called her out in the van, the whole man stealing thing from that one show no one watched.
  42. Kyle! Gizelle! Mauricio! These ladies! My goodness.
  43. Teresa needing to know what horizontal means and then coming to 69 as the conclusion...oh girl.
  44. I'm here with Gizelle, Mauricio is very hot and I would also lay horizontal with him, despite Kyle. No need to apologize for that joke.
  45. "Let the mouse go" was great. THAT is a quality reference and done very well, good for you, Sutton.
  46. Leave it to Sutton to host a game that gets the ladies riled up for something. I love this.
  47. THE BLUE BUNNY!
  48. SUTTON'S VIBRATOR!
  49. Sutton walking around taking photos of the women doing the scavenger hunt like a proud mom made me "aww" out loud.
  50. Not Ms. DuBois coming up, the woman who cursed Kyle's marriage, after the whole 30th anniversary meltdown storyline.

Kyle winning and then wrapping up the episode with a White Party invite felt VERY right and an iconic way to get a ton of Real Housewives women together and oh boy does it look like a great party. I can't wait to see both all the women in their best whites, but also this drama between Luann and Erica and hopefully an explosive Vicki moment.

See ya'll next week!
