The Farm at San Benito

Bantangas, Philippines
Real Housewives of
Atlanta
season

19-20
Claudia hosts this trip because she wants to share her love of Zen spirituality with the other Peaches. Best of luck! This is a group of women who have recently embarked on Friend Group Therapy. There is hope though, because NeNe is not coming along. The first stop is a detox.

The Farm is tranquil, steeped in nature, and meat and alcohol free. Normally this isn’t the recipe for good Housewives drama, but it clears the way for Phaedra and Claudia to have an intimate breakfast and finally open up to each other about their failed marriages.

Also, Kandi falls asleep in a yoga class, despite looking far too uncomfortable to drift off! It’s dubious whether a trip with this amount of booty shake-offs and “thot” photo shoots in front of crater lake can be described as zen, but the women definitely went deep with each other.

Housewife trips have been described in many ways: scary, wild, booze-soaked, contentious, from hell, etc. South Africa is probably the only one that could be described as moving. Sure, there were catered lunches out in the wildlife park, and safari rides to let the women ogle beautiful animals (not to mention flummox their guide by asking where the Indian tigers are), but the highlight was visiting a nearby orphanage.

As Cynthia’s bachelorette weekend kicks off, there is one question on everybody’s lips: What happened on that bus? Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes almost came to blows aboard Kandi’s tour bus because NeNe called Kim’s assistant Sweetie a “slave.” Instead of greeting the bride, they stand in the driveway of notorious Miami creep Thomas Kramer’s Star Island home bickering while Kim smokes.
