Villa La Estancia in Riviera Nayarit

10-11
Some wild things happened on Tamra’s bachelorette getaway in Puerto Vallarta. The male strippers were overly zealous. Vicki sat on Tamra’s bed to download after a fun night out and left a little pee behind. Tamra, Lydia, Shannon, and Vicki snuck out of the elegant seafood restaurant Heather picked for them and went clubbing.

But one perfect moment distilled Tamra Judge to her essence. While gallivanting between bars, Lydia dropped and broke her cell. Before she could get upset, Tamra gleefully yelled “PARTY FOUL! DO A SHOT!” and Lydia, like a fallen toddler who is told “You’re okay!”, forgot her troubles instantly.

This is WHO Tamra is. Someday, years from now, Vicki will lie on her deathbed, fearfully clinging to life, and somewhere in the recesses of her brain she will hear Tamra yell “PARTY FOUL!”. Only then will she gain the courage to move beyond the veil towards that gated community in the sky.

In 2007, every single person living in Orange County, California was “in real estate” (unless, of course, they were in energy drinks) and so it’s to be expected that before the gals even reached San Diego, Jeana Keough and Vicki Gunvalson are barking at each other across the limo about a security deposit.
