Already, we’re at Episode 2! Will Day 2 become even more of a shitshow? Obviously, the answer is: Yasss, hunni! Let’s get straight into this RHUGT Recap! In case Ramona’s exhibitionist antics on Day 1 weren’t enough, Luann decided to flash Melissa and Kenya before anyone could even get some morning coffee. Hey, at least the Shed Media producers know how to keep this show moving at a good pace! At the breakfast table, Kenya decided to give Ramona another chance to “prove who she really is”. Ramona proceeded to lust some more after the Conch Shack owner. Ramona then declared herself a “fashion trendsetter,”and Kenya and Teresa were not having it.
“We Got The Yacht! ”
Ramona had to cause another scene over her tennis workout appointment. Of course, Ramona got lost en route to the tennis court. And of course, Kenya and Teresa had more choice words for Ramona. While walking with Cynthia, Teresa expressed her gratitude for Kenya sticking up for her against Ramona. Then, she threw some shade at Melissa for their past on-camera fights on RHONJ. It seems like Teresa’s divorce from Joe Giudice gives her some kind of shared experience with Kenya.

Though Kenya quickly bonded with Teresa, that didn’t stop her from girl-crushing on Melissa once they all got on the yacht. Meanwhile, Ramona attempted a do-over with Teresa as they both discussed their shared experience in the fashion business as buyers for Macy’s. As the other Housewives got to drinking, Luann insisted that she didn’t need alcohol to have fun on the yacht. Luann then explained why as she opened up about her struggles in dating since her December 2017 Palm Beach incident. She explained how she thought she could fix Tom D’Agostino, and that really had an impact on Kenya.
“There’s not enough lip gloss in the world to cover up her rudeness!”
As Luann spoke about her divorce experience, Ramona butted in (again) and accused Luann of “triggering” her by talking about Tom. Kyle pleaded with Ramona to stop the insanity: “Ramona, you’re not even hearing what she has to say!” Luann said in her confessional, “There’s not enough lip gloss in the world to cover up her rudeness!” Back on the yacht, Luann and Kenya moved downstairs to comfort each other and talk more shit about Ramona. Back at the lunch table, Ramona tried “ADD” as an excuse for her latest bout of foot-in-mouth syndrome.

After a delightful turn of events that involved swimming, twerking, Instagram selfie posing, and the friendly neighborhood stingray, Cynthia and Kyle had a heart-to-heart on the yacht over marriage in the social media age. Kyle recommended that Cynthia “surround [herself] with happily married couples”, and Cynthia proceeded to bond with Kyle while Kenya was playing around with Luann and the Jersey ladies. Kyle then freaked out over “accidentally” posting an Instagram Story from the yacht. Then, once they returned from the yacht, Ramona tried to coach herself to “not start any drama”. Come on, Ramona. You’re not fooling anyone!
Who’s getting read for filth at the Bailey-cue?
For Day #2 dinner, Cynthia put together a very tropical Bailey-cue. Ruh-roh, Kenya was running late! Cynthia sought to explain how the RHOA crew throws shade, and the other Housewives quickly complained. Kenya finally showed up following her hair and makeup session, and Kyle complained about the parameters of the shade game. Kenya showed up just over an hour late, yet Kenya was first to help herself to the food. Here’s where Kenya’s and Cynthia’s friendship really takes a turn for the worse. Kenya tried to change the program for Cynthia’s night. Yet while Cynthia was understandably upset by Kenya’s “so nasty and so rude” actions, Kenya may have had a valid point about the other Housewives’ inability to handle Atlanta-style shade throwing.

At least they all came together to point out how Ramona is the nastiest and rudest one of them all. They then took a more serious turn as Kyle, Kenya, and Melissa opened up on their insecurities. Luann managed to lighten the mood by joking about growing old with Ramona. Finally, we got to the awards! Melissa was the sweetest. Kenya was the smartest. Luann was the best boss. Ramona had the best butt. Cynthia was the most fashionable. Teresa had the best smile. Melissa was the sexiest. Kenya was the shadiest, and she had an acceptance speech designed with Ramona in mind: “Now the shadiest one here calls me the shadiest? That’s shady!”
Jeez, this has been quite the experience thus far. RHUGT really has felt like one of those epic Housewives all-cast trips that we loved to watch for the vacation porn, and for the mess of it all. Hopefully, the Bravo shows take notes and remember why we started watching these shows to begin with.
Who is this Cynthia that we’re seeing, being butt hurt because Kyle said something about the “game” that most women would feel? I thought her anger at Kyle was way over the top and maybe her trying to regain her place on the show. Or else she was channeling all her rage at Kenya onto Kyle. Whoever she is, I didn’t much care for her on this episode.
We now know that this is Cynthia’s final act as a Real Housewife. Wasn’t she already skating on thin ice on RHOA when RHUGT was filmed? It’s just sad to see her fade into the background while Kenya and the others hustled for their on-camera glow-ups.
I was thinking – did Cynthia get her no-pick-up notice that first night? She went from skating high to pissed off quickly. I feel like there must have been more to the story. This show is everything!
Kyle saying she was uncomfortable voting for the prettiest girl at the table was rude and Cynthia took it personally. It drained the lightness and humor from it and made Cynthia look like a mean person she really isn’t. I understand why Cynthia was pissed. Also Kenya threw Cynthia right under the bus lol.
I’m very interested to see the fallout between Cynthia and Kenya tbh. I think that if they hadn’t fallen out Kenya might’ve fought for her to stay on the show, like Kandi fought for Kenya’s return. It’s kinda amazing that we have the chance to see this stuff which would normally happen behind the scenes.
I wonder if they’ll play Truth or Dare or Two Truths and One Lie to liven things up.
Just wait until Episode #3. Let’s just say they pulled another classic Real Housewives dinner party move.
I’m working on episode three now….
I had heard about this show, but I never heard when it was starting what night it was on so if anyone can help a girl out she’d really appreciate it. Yes FOMO, lol.
I watched it on Peacock. The first three episodes are streaming now. I assume that Bravo will be showing it at some point before too long. You also MAY be able to find it on YouTube. I’m just guessing on that one. Read the comments on the first episode. I think there’s some “real” information there that I might not be remembering correctly about Bravo and YouTube.
It’s exceeded all my expectations tbh. Ramona comes in HOT and is very determined to make some good TV. Kenya catches every single ball Ramona throws. It’s also nice to see Kenya so relaxed and having a ball. Teresa is stealing the show with her confidence and genuine disdain for Melissa. The funniest moment to me was when they were talking about cast support and Cynthia said to her “but I thought Meliss..” and T cut her off with a “NO”.
Honestly this is the best thing ever. My favorite housewives all together getting the screentime they deserve and production meticulously capturing every funny little moment. Other than the soundtrack it’s pretty much perfect TV.
Remember when the HW’s were entertaining like this?
Now they are too toxic to be entertaining. What happened? Is it the fault of Andy Cohen’s direction? I use to really like Andy. Not so much anymore.
Dang! I cannot wait to watch this! I was reading an actual book last night and listening to music. Usually my TV is glued to Bravo and I completely forgot about this show! Great recap, sounds like Kenya and Ramona battling it out for who is the shadiest, Um Kenya Wins!! No One throws shade like Miss Kenya, and while I generally cannot stand her, she is the shade queen. After shady Phae Phae, who I miss, Kenya throws the best shade. When Dotti C said it’s like Housewives of days of yore-
