Kyle and I have tons of friends in common as well but [had] never hung out-hung out.
She actually surprised me the most she was different than I thought she would be in person.
RAMONA SINGER:I really got to know Teresa intimately.

I really had no idea anything about her.
My opinion completely changed, which you’ll find out why and how on the show.
KENYA MOORE:Kyle is lying!

We slept together 15 years ago!
LUANN DE LESSEPS:That was me you slept with!
It’s not a trueReal Housewivesvacay unless room selection is a battle to the death for the best accommodation.

A word to the wise: When it comes to picking rooms, beware the Singer stinger.
In this show, we didn’t have someone hosting the trip.
You have seven all-stars; you have these big personalities.
Everyone wants the master suite, and then there was a room that no one wanted.
So it was like, how are we going to figure this out?
But it was one of the highlights of the entire show, because it was so much drama!
RICHARDS:I was warned.
I was forewarned about Ramona in the selection.
BAILEY:Ramona, I think you’re free to speak to this better than anyone.
SINGER:You’re going to have to watch!
GIUDICE:The only thing I wanted was a bathtub.
That’s all I asked for.
I said I want a bathtub.
That’s all I kept saying: I want a bathtub.
Let’s not talk about the rooms, or it’ll go sour quickly.
These are usually filmed on a soundstage, with spectacular if impractical wardrobe, weeks after the fact.
MOORE:We had them on the fly!
RICHARDS:That was the craziest part, to me.
I did one of my interviews with a towel on my head and coffee in my hand.
SINGER:That was hysterical!
It was really funny.
It was very different, and I think very entertaining!
GORGA:I think that was my favorite thing.
BAILEY:I would agree with that.
In a normal season ofThe Real Housewives, Bravo is the perpetual elephant in the room.
Only in moments of extreme stress does anyone break the show’s no.
1 rule and acknowledge the cameras (just ask Denise Richards).
BAILEY:I am obsessed with breaking the fourth wall.
We shared so much about ourselves.
We just spoke very liberally, and it was really cool.
I mean, it’s like an exclusive club.
It was very interesting!
I actually, for the first time ever, enjoyed being on TV.
Because being on the top, you always get, like, attacked.
And we supported each other it was amazing.
It was women supporting women.
I’m all about that, and about empowerment, and [RHONJhas] totally different vibes.
SINGER:I agree with that.
It was very enjoyable.
Because we all came in respecting each other.
No one was trying to really attack anyone.
Well, maybesomepeople were.
BAILEY:Atlanta’s very high drama, very stressful.
Is some crazy bullet coming my way?
I never felt, on this trip, like anything too crazy was going to happen.
MOORE:I was such a fan.Goodbye, Kyle!I couldn’t wait to say it.
RICHARDS:I was singing Luann’s songs all the time.
EW gets the true story behind the instantly iconic clip.
MOORE:You’re looking at the wizard behind the cape, honey!
The wizard behind the curtain!
So I said, Melissa, I know you’re the girl that can make this happen.
GORGA:She would not stop asking me all day.
MOORE:We broke the internet with that!
GORGA:To give all the ladies credit here one shot.Possiblytwo takes.
DE LESSEPS:I didn’t even know what was going down.
I was just like, okay, we’ll do a little dance?
I had no idea.
Otherwise, I would have put a little bit more effort into it.
SINGER:I thought I wasn’t part of it!
I thought I wasn’t.
I go, ‘You girls did this without me!’
You go, ‘No, that’s you!’
I go, ‘Oh my God.’
BAILEY:Ramona was hands-down the star of the TikTok.
RICHARDS:I used to be coordinated.
I don’t know what happened with my life, but I am so uncoordinated now.
I was like, you know what?
I’m just going to do a [cartwheel].
I’m outta here.
I didn’t know so many people were going to see that thing!
BAILEY:We just did it.
We were rushing; we were getting ready to wrap up.
I almost want to do a TikTok do-over.
We were a hot mess, and it was perfect just like that.
Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trippremieres on Peacock on Nov. 18.
