    Vicki’s Miserable, Luann Won’t Shut Up | RHUGT: Roaring 20s Recap

    Nine episodes, seven Housewives, and enough drama to fill every franchise. Jason Zeffir is back with a massive reality TV catch-up, recapping all nine episodes of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20s. Vicki Gunvalson is miserable, Luann de Lesseps never misses an opportunity to make things about herself, and the rest of the ladies are along for one chaotic, cross-country ride. Kyle Richards, Teresa Giudice, Porsha Williams, Gizelle Bryant, and Lisa Barlow join Vicki and Luann as they revisit iconic Housewives locations from Orange County and Beverly Hills to Atlanta, Miami, New York, and the Berkshires. Plus, appearances from NeNe Leakes, Dorinda Medley, Carole Radziwill, and more familiar Bravo faces. Jason breaks down the drama, the ridiculousness, the nostalgia, and everything that makes these women endlessly entertaining. Plus, updates on his dark comedy horror novel Zombies of the Upper East Side, recent media appearances, what's coming next on Slay Replay, and his ongoing quest to make it into the Bravo Clubhouse as a bartender on Watch What Happens Live.
