CelebnMusic247.com and CelebnReality247.com has one thing to say, OMG! Just when you thought this Orange County getaway couldn’t get any more chaotic, Vicki Gunvalson basically said: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!
But on the REAL, Vivki is an OG and she is just MEAN GIRL! She doesn’t want to share or deal with anyone. Why is she back?
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20, Episode 10, “Forbidden Fruit,” delivered two separate girls’ trips, a Heather Dubrow and Gina Kirschenheiter showdown, Tamra Judge losing patience before the vacation even started, and one spectacular Vicki Gunvalson meltdown that ended with microphones coming off and Housewives scrambling to pack their bags.
And it all started with something as innocent as a trip to La Quinta.
What could possibly go wrong?
Apparently, EVERYTHING.
The RHOC Ladies Divide and Conquer
After the drama surrounding Vicki’s birthday lunch and all those questions about her relationship with boyfriend Michael Smith, the women split into two groups for overnight getaways.
Tamra, Gina, Carmella and Heather headed toward Los Olivos, while Shannon, Jenn and Emily joined Vicki for a stay at her La Quinta home.
Vicki couldn’t wait to show off the property.
In fact, the OG proudly reminded everyone that she owns three homes, explaining that she wanted the women to see that you can work hard while still enjoying your life.
Classic Vicki.
But over at Carmella’s house, Tamra was already losing it—and they hadn’t even left yet.
Tamra vs. Carmella’s Clock
Tamra wanted everybody on the road at 11 a.m.
There was just one problem.
At 11:45, Carmella was reportedly still curling her hair.
Tamra was NOT impressed, complaining that showing up late was disrespectful.
About an hour later, they finally got into the car—only for Carmella to say she needed to stop and give herself an insulin injection.
Gina understandably asked Tamra whether she’d rather Carmella take her insulin.
Tamra fired back that she’d rather drive.
YIKES.
Maybe somebody needed a mimosa—and they weren’t even at the destination yet.
Heather’s “Trashy” Comment Comes Back to Haunt Her
During the ride, the conversation turned to Heather previously referring to Carmella as “trashy.”
Carmella explained that Heather had apologized and apparently admitted she wouldn’t necessarily have told Carmella about the remark if she weren’t worried someone else would reveal it.
Tamra immediately saw it differently.
In her view, Heather was simply trying to get ahead of the story.
And unfortunately for Fancy Pants, that wasn’t going to be the last time her comments about Carmella came up.
Not even close.
And Then Carmella Gets Pulled Over!
The women picked Heather up from her Los Angeles penthouse and continued their journey.
Then suddenly—police lights.
Carmella was being pulled over.
Because apparently this road trip needed one more delay just to push Tamra closer to the edge.
Carmella joked that her license was suspended, but the actual issue reportedly involved an expired registration and the vehicle being heavily tinted.
She ultimately received a citation.
At this point, Tamra was probably wondering whether they would reach Los Olivos before Season 21.
Gina Has a BIG Problem With Heather
Once they finally arrived, the ladies explored Solvang and rented tandem bicycles.
Carmella and Heather paired up, which was interesting considering Heather acknowledged that some of the women had said terrible things about Carmella behind her back.
But Gina had another issue brewing.
Heather had apparently asked Carmella to help her daughter Max find a rental.
And Gina felt completely overlooked.
Why?
Because Gina knows Max and works in real estate herself.
More importantly, Gina couldn’t understand why Heather would criticize Carmella privately and then suddenly trust her enough to help with something involving her daughter.
Dinner was about to get uncomfortable.
“Are You Fake as F***?”
There it was.
At dinner, Gina finally confronted Heather.
Gina admitted she was hurt that Heather hadn’t even asked for her opinion about Max’s rental search.
Heather explained that Carmella lived around the area where they were potentially looking for a property.
But Gina wasn’t buying the simplicity of that explanation.
She pointed out that Heather had previously spoken negatively about Carmella and was now asking her for help.
Then Gina dropped the question:
Was Heather being fake?
Heather immediately denied it.
Fancy Pants explained that she felt badly about prejudging Carmella.
But then Heather turned the argument around, accusing Gina of telling Emily about Heather’s remarks in order to hurt her.
Eventually, both women apologized and attempted to move forward.
Attempted being the important word.
Because over in La Quinta…
Vicki was about to completely lose it.
Vicki Has Her Own Real Estate Agent Drama
On the way to Vicki’s house, Emily also brought up Heather using Carmella as a real estate agent after criticizing her.
That comparison hit Vicki directly in her insurance-agent soul.
Vicki compared it to one of the women talking badly about somebody and then going to the new girl for insurance instead of using her.
If there are two things you don’t mess with when it comes to Vicki Gunvalson, they’re apparently:
Her love tank and her insurance business.
Welcome to Vicki’s House—Just Don’t Be Mean to Her!
When everyone arrived, Vicki revealed the itinerary.
Golf.
Pizza.
And, naturally…
WHOOP IT UP!
Jenn mentioned that she’d never really partied with Vicki before.
Vicki’s response?
Just don’t be mean to her.
Jenn looked confused because she didn’t believe she’d been mean.
Vicki claimed Jenn had been “snippy.”
Shannon quickly reminded Vicki that she’d called Jenn “a troublemaker” only a couple of weeks earlier.
Then Vicki made things worse.
She described Jenn as “low-hanging fruit.”
OUCH.
Jenn understandably wanted to know why.
Vicki’s explanation was basically that she doesn’t like new girls.
Except Jenn pointed out a fairly important detail:
She’s been on RHOC for four years.
Where exactly has Vicki been?
Touché.
Michael Arrives—and Emily Notices Something
While everyone prepared to go golfing, Vicki’s boyfriend Michael arrived.
Vicki jokingly asked him to tell the women to stop bothering her about getting married.
Michael laughed it off.
But Emily noticed something interesting.
Michael had also appeared toward the end of the group’s Las Vegas trip.
And once again, questions surrounding Vicki’s relationship were quietly bubbling beneath the surface.
That would become important later.
“STOP POKING THE BEAR!”
On the way to golf, Vicki was trying to answer work emails.
The other women wanted her to put work aside and enjoy the trip she’d organized.
Vicki wasn’t having it.
After giving her guests the middle finger, she essentially checked out of the conversation.
Later, back at Vicki’s home, the women got into the jacuzzi.
And Shannon made the mistake of bringing up the “low-hanging fruit” comment again.
Vicki erupted:
STOP POKING THE BEAR!
Jenn pointed out that it felt like Vicki was poking her bear.
But Vicki insisted she only pokes back when somebody pokes her.
Then Emily entered the conversation.
Emily felt that if Vicki wanted to be part of the group, she needed to share her life just as much as everybody else did.
She also confronted Vicki over being rude earlier while answering work emails.
That’s when Vicki became increasingly defensive.
This was her house.
These were her guests.
And according to Vicki, they needed to respect her home and stop picking on her.
Oh boy.
The volcano was officially rumbling.
Jenn Apologizes—but Somehow Things Get WORSE
Eventually, Jenn apologized.
Vicki also apologized for calling her low-hanging fruit.
Problem solved?
Absolutely not.
This is RHOC.
Vicki announced that she was about to lose her mind and suggested everyone play the “quiet game.”
Yes.
A group of Real Housewives were being asked to stop talking.
Good luck with that.
Jenn simply wanted to understand why they couldn’t have a conversation.
And that’s when Vicki finally SNAPPED.
Vicki Rips Off Her Mic and Orders Everyone OUT!
Vicki had apparently had enough.
She announced that she was taking off her microphone and headed toward her bedroom.
Then came the ultimatum.
It’s Vicki’s home—and if the women couldn’t respect it, they could GET OUT.
Suddenly, the fun girls’ getaway became an eviction.
Emily, Shannon and Jenn were left standing in the kitchen wondering what had just happened.
Then Michael appeared.
He went into Vicki’s bedroom and reportedly slammed the door.
Now things were getting REALLY awkward.
When Vicki eventually came back out to speak with Shannon, she made it clear that Michael was inside the bedroom and that they were not going to discuss him.
Meanwhile, Emily and Jenn apparently decided they didn’t need to be told twice.
They started frantically packing.
Then Vicki could be heard making her position VERY clear:
Everybody could get out of her house.
Vicki Walks Away From Production
Vicki eventually went outside and spoke with production.
By that point, she admitted she was overwhelmed by everything happening and declared:
“I’m out!”
And then…
TO BE CONTINUED.
ARE YOU KIDDING US?!
Bravo really left viewers standing outside Vicki’s La Quinta house with their imaginary suitcases.
CelebnReality247 Take
Vicki Gunvalson came back and reminded everybody why she’s an RHOC OG.
Was she dramatic?
Absolutely.
Was asking a group of Housewives to play the quiet game completely unrealistic?
Obviously.
But underneath all the screaming, there’s something bigger happening.
The women seem to want Vicki to open up more about her relationship with Michael, while Vicki appears increasingly uncomfortable with the questions.
Meanwhile, Jenn isn’t willing to quietly accept being labeled the group’s “low-hanging fruit,” and Emily certainly isn’t afraid to challenge Vicki.
Then there’s Heather and Gina.
They may have apologized, but Gina’s accusation that Heather could criticize Carmella one minute and use her professional services the next isn’t going to magically disappear.
So we’ve got Heather vs. Gina, Jenn vs. Vicki, Emily questioning Vicki, Michael behind a slammed bedroom door—and Vicki ordering everybody out of her house.
And Bravo expects us to wait until next week?!
