Reality TV really can be aspirational. Lisa Hochstein, struggling to conceive, is stressed and the only cure is shots. After crowing incessantly about being a supportive bridesmaid, she drunkenly calls the bride a whore. There are strippers for Joanna, but they only have eyes for Lea and her operatic shrieks of delight.
Despite an 8am flight, the gals party past when production wraps and oversleep, so Lea has to rent a car and drive everyone to California, only stopping occasionally for Lisa, who woke up underneath the mini-bar, to throw up at various points in the desert.

Of all the histrionic, wild, life-threatening boat trips a group of Housewives have taken, this one to an island of dead dolls is the most outlandish. Retire boat trips. No one will do it better. The Miami ladies are in Mexico City to watch Adriana perform at gay pride.
It must have been witchcraft that made Adriana think it would be a good idea to compare twisting her ankle to the car crash that gave Alexia’s son a traumatic brain injury. Before the trip, she and Julia visited a Cuban botánica for protective tokens, but maybe she also picked up a cursed object?
Lisa Hochstein holds a vaulted position among Housewives. Many women in this franchise have been cheated on. Truly. So, so many. But not since Camille Grammer, in a show-stopping red gown, accompanied a philandering Frasier from Cheers to the Tony Awards has a Housewife been divorced with such panache.

Two households, both alike in dignity, one by the bay and one by the sea. The wives are divided into two teams and the scene is set to tear two lovers apart.
