For the first time in Real Housewives historical past, 8 former solid members from 4 other towns accumulated together to speak about their past reports on their respective presentations and to start some new drama on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Ex-Wives Club.
The Ex-Wives Club-themed season marks the 2nd installment in The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip franchise. Season 1 adopted a bunch of current Housewives, but the sophomore season will reunite audience with their fan-favorite alums.
Though stars Phaedra Parks, Eva Marcille Sterling, Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, Jill Zarin, and Dorinda Medley only had 8 days to get to grasp one some other on a deeper stage, it did not take long for the drama to kick off on the show.
In addition to the shift in the casting set-up, the second season featured every other major change from Season 1. Instead of vacationing at an unique location like Turks and Caicos, the cast individuals spent their trip at Dorinda's infamous Berkshires property, Blue Stone Manor.
Ahead of the June 23 premiere, RHOA alum Phaedra spoke exclusively with Distractify about what fanatics can expect to peer on the Peacock authentic, and she shared what it was really like to stick at Dorinda's well-known Massachusetts home. (Hint: she could have been put in the fish room.)
Phaedra Parks teased that the drama on 'The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip' Season 2 is "classic housewives."
Before the travel, Phaedra knew Eva really well, even though the two did not overlap all over their respective runs on RHOA. Though she knew of most of the other ladies, the legal professional sought after to go into Blue Stone Manor with a "clean slate."
Phaedra got along well with everyone in the solid (she mentioned that Brandi has since turn into her "wing girl"). She shared that the stars had been all in a position to bond as participants of the housewives "sorority."
Unlike the RHUGT Season 1 stars, who were all, at the time, current Housewives, the Season 2 stars have been all a minimum of a couple of years removed from their respective presentations.
"We are an all-star cast, and we are heavy hitters. All of us are vets in our own right," Phaedra shared with Distractify about how bringing former housewives together made for an entertaining 2nd season. "It made it even better because you don't have to answer to another committed show."
As audience learned from the trailer, Dorinda and Vicki will conflict, as will Tamra and Brandi. According to Phaedra, Housewives fans will by no means be bored during the seven-episode season.
"When I tell you this is classic Housewives, there's not a dull moment. You're going to laugh, you're going to cry, you're going to scream," Phaedra teased. "There are a lot of weird secrets revealed — I'll put it like that. [Viewers] are going to learn a bunch of interesting things. We break the fourth wall and talk about stuff that happened on our other shows."
The 'RHOA' alum mentioned that Dorinda Medley was an "incredible" host all through 'RHUGT Ex-Wives Club.'
As longtime RHONY fans know, wild things generally tend to happen as soon as other folks input the gates at Blue Stone Manor.
Though she was once put in Blue Stone Manor's infamous fish room, Phaedra did not have as sturdy of a response to the space as Dorinda's former co-star, Luann de Lesseps, did.
"Blue Stone Manor is the most magnificent estate in the world. It's just unbelievably beautiful," Phaedra said about the Berkshires estate. "It has everything that you can imagine. ... We did tear her house up, like the girls from RHONY.""

Phaedra noted that Dorinda herself truly was the hostess with the most-ess.
"Dorinda is the absolute best hostess; she's just implausible," the mortician said. "She left no stone unturned."
While the Season 1 stars each planned an event and left the villa tasks up to the butler, Michael Burchill, Dorinda made sure that the ladies always felt welcome and kept busy during their time at her vacation home.
"She was once like a little bit drill sergeant. She planned from the time the solar went up, until the time the solar went down," Phaedra said. "We had actions, it used to be like an intense summer time camp. But it was once amusing. We had a great time."
The first 3 episodes of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Ex-Wives Club will be available to circulate on Peacock on Thursday, June 23. New episodes drop weekly on Thursdays.
