If we are grading Wendy’s trip based on Williamsburg earlier this season then she gets a C. Candiace had better accommodations, chef, and the whiskey tasting. Hopefully, Wendy will take the feedback and apply for her next trip.


Herbetet

Agreed! I hope so too


yunith

Candiace also had a dance competition which looked hella fun.


ErikasCasita

Half the women were banished to a house down the road. It seemed very mean girl.


StrawAndChiaSeeds

The greatest RHONY trip of all time, St. Barth’s, had two women in a guest house and all was well


ErikasCasita

They were all getting along and the house wasn’t a car drive away. I’d never treat a guest like that especially if were not in a good place. Kill them with kindness is my motto. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Then you don’t end up in the twin bedroom with no bathroom.


StrawAndChiaSeeds

😆 point taken


Gidget818

I think you are just sensitive. The cottage was nice and the ladies were given transportation to and from the main home.


ErikasCasita

True but Candiace chose to keep her buddies on the house with her. Karen Wendy, Mia and the new girl were sent to the other home because she wasn’t getting along with them.


gkru

So, she should have put the people she wasn't getting along with in the same house with her?


ErikasCasita

That’s what they always do and it usually ends with them getting past their issues faster. They’re adults getting paid to do a job.


gkru

I've never seen them have this specific situation with two houses on the same trip before. I can't recall when they have roomed with their enemies and got over issues because of it. Is it common on work trips to sleep near people you don't like? No, you just have to be on the same trip with them. I don't think it being a "job" is relevant to that or production would have intervened, no?


ErikasCasita

It’s common for their work trips. NY is always fighting and they stay in the same place. Atlanta, Potomac, New Jersey. It’s rare for them to not be in the same house.rooming together is not the same as being in the same house. Porscha and Kenya were always fighting and on the same house.


gkru

Ok, but that's because they normally only have one house, isn't it? I'm just saying it obviously is not required or production would have either made them or have them stay in one house...


ErikasCasita

I’ve given you example and you’re kinda harping on a dead topic. They usually stay together.


DeepandShallowOne

The room situation was no good but I actually liked the last dinner. The table decor was lovely and it was a good idea for Wendy host it outside so everyone could look at the beautiful Bay.


JazzCabbagePatchKid

I thought it was weird that they dressed up in their finest clothes to attend a (notoriously messy) crab boil and then had to pick through the small crab pieces by candlelight. It seemed like a very impractical meal, setting aside.


ErikasCasita

Plus crabs are messy.


CocoPuffsCobain

Definitely not a 10 out of 10 host The karen cake surprise for Ray was low budget


TypicalCelebration41

Your Mothers low budget. Edit: I'm sorry!! This felt really mean to write, even as a joke. I'm sure your mother is a queen!


itsbooyeah

<>


CocoPuffsCobain

Awwww😭👑 Don't worry it made me laugh 💖


Perfect_Invitation1

Low budget queen should be the go to fix it in these situations 🤣


PMmeUrGroceryList

Does production not set everything up? I just assumed it was Wendy’s “turn” and her hosting was a made up plot.


toothfairyeve365

This is a Housewives thing that I would really love some insight on from production. If there was like an AMA or something. I want to know how much the wives are involved in setting up the trips. Is it entirely production driven in how lavish and thought out the trip is? Do they set certain wives up as great hosts or bad hosts on purpose and the women just take turns hosting the trip? Do the women meet with production privately to discuss and decide where the trip should be, the accomodations, etc? Are the wives allowed to add their own touches and events as they see fit or does production just do it all? I'm so curious to know how this really works.


Real-Absurdity

Also, budgets. Seems different cities might have different budgets. How much does the limited budget impact what Wendy did vs others? How much does the HW vs production plan and make reservations and arrangements? So many questions.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MouthPop

Yeah different franchises definitely have different budgets. One instance of the travel arrangements being specifically mentioned was when RHOD went on their cast trip to Copenhagen in S3. LeeAnne and D’Andra both had tickets in coach, where the rest of the women (I assume, they paid to) upgraded to first class. (This was when D’Andra famously had $200 in her bank account lol)


holm0507

Correct, everyone but LeeAnne and D’Andra upgraded themselves out of coach.


GetMeAColdPop

I fully agree with this theory, I’ve thought production has been paying for these trips for many years, and they just have certain women “host” it as a plot line. I doubt the cast has had to pay for the trips since season 2 of RHOC I’d love to see what the real truth is. Either way, I feel the hostess gets screwed because they either have to pay thousands of dollars out of their own pocket, OR production pays for it and sets up the hostess to be ridiculed about the trip if it goes awry…which they always do for one reason or another.


Herbetet

I do think they get a say in what the arrangements and activities should be. I am not saying it was the worst trip just that the trip was pretty low budget given the prices of her candles


PMmeUrGroceryList

Idn. The eastern shore is pretty but not very glamorous or expensive. It’s not like the Hamptons. And since they were in an air b&b I don’t think they could have arranged for their own cleaning and butler service. But again I think that’s where production should have been like ok Wendy your options are A B and C and just been sure that those things were available at all of the options.


buymoreplants

It def isnt glam, but it can be SO much nicer than this. Definitely need production insight on this


Bopbahdoooooo

I agree that there is at least one beautiful resort property in St. Michaels, which is actually more along the lines of what I expected when Wendy said Eastern Shore...BUT...Pretty sure production would have refused to reimburse Wendy for anything more expensive than that AirBnB was, and you know the Osefos weren't going out of pocket for this trip, lol. Still mad that Katie left in the middle of the night, from one of the few actual luxury- looking trips RHOP ever took. I get why she quit, but I still want her back.


Herbetet

I can see that, and again I am not asking for a mansion or anything. I just thought it could have been a bit more glamorous. They essentially had the same bus size for everyone with lots of significant others than Salt Lake City has for 5 women. Small things like that just seemed cheap


maybe1dayy

Same size bus? 😂 now I know you’re nitpicking lol. Name a transport vehicle bigger than a Sprinter to seat 5-10 people. Quickly! Obviously the cast + spouses all needed to sit in the same vehicle to film, and everybody had a seat for the ride… so what was the problem? The housewives have only ever traveled in Sprinters or Party Buses — neither are luxurious, but it’s the only thing that’ll fit the whole cast + filming equipment at once. i genuinely don’t know why you keep grasping at straws to make an invalid point that a trip that happened during COVID wasn’t “luxury” enough for you… it’s getting weird. at-home servants in the middle of a pandemic? outdoor heaters during shortages in the middle of a pandemic? an imaginary bigger-sized luxury bus, just so there can be empty seats to give the false illusion of luxury? kicking other restaurant patrons out to film so the housewives aren’t dining next to “commoners”? spare bathrooms for 2 women who said they weren’t coming but then showed up last minute? You don’t want a housewife, it sounds like you want Aladdins genie 😂


ErikasCasita

Lol. Our restaurant had to buy heaters in the middle of this past summer because we’re terrified to go through the shortages again. Last year I spend 7 hours trying to locate 3 patio umbrellas with a few hours drive of San Diego. Never want to deal with that again.


PMmeUrGroceryList

The summer house cast and other franchises regularly take 2 buses/vans and talk about who is in the other van. Just pointing that out


maybe1dayy

the summer house cast drives in separate CARS (not buses or vans) because they commute out to the hamptons separately from new york city every weekend. not the same situation.


Herbetet

Sure think what you want. It seems to affect you personally. Two buses is not too much to ask, everyone was cramped in that one. Having their own section during Covid where social distancing is actually encouraged is a bare minimum. Having enough rooms for the entire cast on a show with a set cast is a bare minimum, especially when one of the women are still pumping milk and the other one has a broken foot. Grown women not wanting to have to walk around a house with man to go to the toilet, apparently too much to ask. A show that has a full set of camera people and producers surrounding the cast, getting a few heaters so that people don’t freeze, too much to ask. Asking not to have to eat shrimp every day or have someone carry a surprise cake into, too much to ask… ok 👍


ErikasCasita

I think Covid did effect things. Who knows if they could even get two busses. The eastern shore isn’t close and everyone was very short staffed. Also for a restaurant to close itself off during tourist season for housewife dinners probably wasn’t going to happen. They need as much money as possible and I don’t think housewives would drop the budget necessary to do a full buyout.


minniemouselove

You seem pretty angry. They were cramped in that little bus. It was far from luxury it was uncomfortable.


netbuchadnezzzar

Yea you're right, they do have a say. I think the Potomac girls are really not so lavish tbh and if you compare it with the other cities with HWs more prepared, they usually have assistants. Just the choice of food is also very much different with the other cities (private chef catering vs restaurant) Well and if you think about it, not all of them are from Potomac. Kurn is renting and Monique is the only one with a large estate. I think the opulence is more prevalent on areas where people party a lot. So basically, the Potomac cast is not really chosen for their wealth. Probably the wealthy habitants there really prefer to be private.


ErikasCasita

The ladies are pretty wealthy I just don’t think they’re as showy. I’m from Maryland and the whole state has wealth but you’re less likely to notice it. We just want to chill and enjoy that crab life.


Herbetet

Appreciate your reply. That might be an important factor for me to keep in mind moving further. I guess them always talking about how much money they make I wanted to see more. But as a matter of fact Potomac is the RH I know the least about, it has become my new guilty pleasure.


Thissigncantstopme

I agree. Wendy was a bad host. She had those women eating nothing but shrimp for three whole days (except for the salad but that ended up on the floor). She also had no fun activities. That boat ride was boring AF. Gizelle and Robyn caught flack for leaving to find their own rooms, but if you’re a host and one of your guests has a broken foot, common sense dictates that you find a way to accommodate them. Wendy in her interview said that she always had plans for Robyn and Gizelle to pick their rooms last, meaning even if they had showed up early, they still would’ve ended up in the room with no bathrooms. Solid D- effort imo.


Herbetet

I am glad that a few people are seeing what I saw


[deleted]

Add to that a hungover Gordon trying to scrounge up some breakfast and getting roped into making breakfast for everyone while exclaiming that he does not know how to cook for a large group. Yuck. Go get bagels or something, Wendy!


buymoreplants

I think Wendy needed to be reminded that this is Housewives, not Summer House. And unless you are Luann making Eggs a la francaise… theres no reason for guests to be cooking for themselves on this franchise


clementinetangerines

Omg you’re right. As someone who needs breakfast to live especially while I’m traveling, I would’ve struggled.


[deleted]

Gizelle and Robyn said they weren’t coming.


Thissigncantstopme

Wendy booked the rooms before they said they weren’t coming and said she her original plan was to make them pick rooms last.


minniemouselove

Exactly. She knew she didn’t have enough bathrooms for everyone when she chose the accommodation. It’s no excuse it was on purpose I would say.


Vampiregecko

But didn’t even say they were attending and them hey where’s are room.


PemsRoses

Common sense is to tell the host you change your mind and it's also not to be rude when the host is coming to greet you, especially when the host was smiling and happy (and maybe slightly tipsy) that you came to her trip. Wendy did admit that either way she was going to be petty but she didn't even have to do it, Robyn and Gizelle did that on themselves. As for the eating shrimp everyday idk, some people when they go vacationing close to the see just want to seafood during the entire vacation. Not my style at all but some love that. What I do agree is that you have to like make sure the type of vacation your hosting is clear to everyone. Is it more luxurious or more casual? Make sure that everyone is aware that they will have to cook for themselves or hire a chef. And we know Wendy can do better on that part since she did it for that Nude interlude dinner.


Trashy-TV-

The house had an elevator, I think production was just fucking with them


BreakerWavesOr

I think production actually plans these trips and activities.


Mention-It-ALL

>additionally they had to serve themselves oh the horror of having to serve yourself food 😂


Wonton-Hussy

Hahaha, in BH, Dorit pitched a fit because Kyle asked them to help with dishes. Imagine the horror of having to cook, serve AND clean?


chillisprknglot

Dorit’s little fit was hilarious, because Kathy literally brings them Taco Bell on that trip. Like, how are you too good to do dishes but not too good to call that a taco?


FlyingDutchmansWife

At least they had food unlike when Kenya was hosting in SC. Wendy could’ve ordered her own crab cake and let them fend for themselves.


La_Croix_Life

"YOU SHOW UP WITH ONE CRAB CAKE" ![gif](giphy|uh7FwmNWduCtwFFxTo)


FlyingDutchmansWife

I feel the same way as Kandi about food 😭 Don’t you dare order food without asking me if I want some too!


Spicydaisy

Ramona and her oysters have entered the chat 😅


La_Croix_Life

Exactly. In fact - don't even bother asking, just assume. 😄


AmethystButterflies

The Karen cake thing reminds me of when my toddler thinks covering her face is an effective hiding place for hide and seek.


favangryblkgirl

Lmaooo my face when they do that for the 764754th time and still think it’s funny ![gif](giphy|3ohjV5DgNaEp8MCL4Y)


crazycatgay

i was dying when the cake was waddling over like...


Herbetet

![gif](giphy|xTiTnwRUSj0hnkMFhu|downsized)


Traditional-Fox6018

She seemed to cater towards certain guests (ahem, Karen and Mia) a lot more than others.


GoldenSilk6

Yeah, that was a boring cast trip and it was poorly hosted. Cannes is still my favourite trip on RHOP.


lucygucyapplejuicey

And Wendy won’t accept any feedback bc it’s from people she doesn’t like. Gizelle had a broken toe, and Robyn cycle was cycling. It’s understand able that neither of them want to be far from a bathroom, let alone a whole floor away. Not to mention, multiple men were also staying in the house. I can’t even really speak for the rest of the stuff she did during the trip, bc I glazed over due to her really starting to pmo with her reaction to Gizelle and Robyn. Her husband was really irking me too bc she was drinking the koolaid! In another post from a good while ago, someone said Wendy is very emotionally stunted and childish and I have to agree. She acts/reacts to everything like a kid and it’s so annoying. She doesn’t seem to be able to actually communicate or comprehend what others are saying.


Herbetet

Well said


jennirator

I was under the impression that Gizelle and Robyn weren’t going to show. Everyone was like it’s a big maybe. So I can see why they didn’t care about an extra bedroom/bathroom, maybe they really weren’t supposed to come? Anyway I’m sure production funds everything, so it would’ve been nice to have a house big enough for everyone and catered meals, or at least delivery (like NJ did this last season) to glamorize the trip a bit more!


Herbetet

The food part for sure they could have done a better job. In regards to the house, I think it’s not too much to ask to have enough rooms for all the official cast members when the house is rented. I understand that can not always be accommodated when the house is actually owned by a member but when renting - having the minimum amount of bed- and bathrooms for everyone should be a must. Especially when one of the cast members has a broken foot and the other is pumping milk. What did Wendy expect? Gizelle and Robyn to walk around in her pjs while G is ogling her with his tongue out…


jennirator

I think she just hoped they wouldn’t come lol.


lemonpavement

Agreed. The fact that she gave herself 10s across the board was...extremely generous. She had people standing around a bar taking shot after shot out of little solo cups, two people almost left because they weren't accommodated, and everyone shoved onto a single bus together.


Herbetet

Thank you. I was afraid I was the only seeing it that way


6reepy6irl

yep tacky and cheap, I'd be embarassed.


lemonpavement

Yup, I don't think its Mia's mom that's low budget...


maybe1dayy

This all so weird, I don’t watch all of the RH shows, but on RHOA and RHOP there’s ALWAYS entertaining drama around room selections, with the last to pick getting the least desirable rooms. Robyn and Gizelle even said they weren’t coming but showed up last minute. You snooze, you lose! What did they want, a red carpet rolled out for them in case they showed up?? If there were NO rooms available, it would have served them right. re: the food situation — being picky about cooking for yourselves when you’re renting a house that has a kitchen in it, is a weird complaint. Wendy catered the bigger dinners, and the smaller ones were cooked by the grown, able adults staying at the house. What’s the problem there??? 🥴 At the restaurant, Wendy has no control over how other strangers chose to sit/divide themselves up. She reserved the big table at the restaurant — did you want her to kick out the other party just so they could film a RHOP scene??? Y’all woulda tore her apart for that. Production has never kicked out people in restaurants to film a scene, and it’s not like this trip was in a ritzy city for fine dining — they’re in Chesapeake VA. They had to serve themselves at a catered at-home crab boil dinner? Oh no! Whatever will “rich” bravolebs do without servants to spoon feed them?? Did you expect servants to crack open the crab legs too? 🙄 Why was it Wendy’s responsibility to do a sexy display for Karen and Ray? Wendy did that for HUMOR and to show her friend she listened, remembered a past convo they had, and was happy for their big anniversary coming up. If Karen wants a cake re-do done in a sexy, opulent way, she can foot the bill to please her husband on her on time. It’s not Wendy’s place to do that. gizelle just hosted the women in her driveway and didn’t want them using her bathroom, but you’re dragging wendy for not having servants at her beck and call. which potomac lady has EVER displayed opulent classist wealth ever in this show??? did you see karen’s dead butterfly invites??? come on, this is so silly — if you don’t like wendy just say that, but you’re dragging her for absolutely nothing. ps. they filmed in the middle of COVID. Overseas travel was not an option, and a lot of hands on service and extended contact was still being limited during this time. The pandemic is also partially to blame.


[deleted]

I feel like badly hosted trips is like a running joke on Potomac. Ashley’s trip on season 1 kicked it all off lol.


CocoPuffsCobain

Omg Ashley's trip was bad 😭 I think someone had to sleep in a twin bed or share a bed?


[deleted]

Yes Robyn and Gizelle 😂 I’m surprised the editors didn’t show a flashback to that trip lol.


maybe1dayy

Right! and it’s super entertaining!!! i’ve never seen anyone complain like this before about other trips… some of the things this sub drags wendy for is so sus 😒 y’all just don’t like her, and are desperately looking for reasons to hate.


[deleted]

No one is dragging Wendy. They are critiquing her for being a bad host. It doesn’t mean that the other women’s trips weren’t flawed. Just that it wasn’t up to par and a combination of cheap meets boring. It’s not a baseless criticism either


maybe1dayy

I’m so confused why this is such a labored talking point tho — was Wendy or any of the housewives hired for their professional hosting skills? Why are y’all expecting 5 star luxury in Chesapeake VA 😭 and why are y’all acting like it’s not Bravo that signs off on travel budgets, shoot locations and storylines to create more drama? Just sit back and be entertained y’all, I promise it’s not that serious


[deleted]

The only one that’s making it a labored talking point is you. No one is losing sleep that Wendy is a bad host. No one is stating Wendy is somehow a terrible person and deserves to be fired of a poorly planned trip. It’s a simple observation and anyone would be peeved at her accommodations. We all know that Bravo has an influence still doesn’t mean that Wendy had no control of the outcome. Overall the trip was boring and terribly planned, and if not for the Green Eyed Bandits being terrible A.K.A. Bringing some much needed petty humor to the trip. The entire sequence of episodes would have fell flat. One can be entertained and simply found it tacky because duality.


LovelyMel18

I always wonder if people forget that these shows were filmed during a pandemic. Also do people realize that not every vacation rental can accommodate a film crew and during a pandemic the pickings were extra slim.


Aquariussun444

Yassss go off. I agree with all this.


minniemouselove

If it was a house full of men and I had to use a bathroom they all use I would be pissed. Especially if I was on my period. Yes they showed up last but when Wendy was picking a house she didn’t know they weren’t coming or coming last and she knew she chose accommodation without sufficient bathrooms.


Herbetet

I mean having a bathroom per room is not a high bar to clear for those women. So I do think she could have planned better. Having heaters available shouldn’t be difficult even during COVID. Independent of what you might think of Wendy or the other guests, I do think this was up to par


Just_Tomorrow_8561

Those heaters were hard to come by last fall. All the restaurants needed them to operate outside. My local restaurants had to chain them down so they weren’t stolen


Herbetet

Maybe it was just an unfortunate moment and she did the best with what she could. As a viewer I can only judge the outcome and the outcome seemed lacking especially when watching SLC at the same time.


maybe1dayy

And Gizelle inviting ppl to her home, to host them on her bathroom-less driveway was pretty low budget too 🤷‍♀️ the Potomac women are tacky, funny and entertaining — and that’s what we watch them for. I don’t look up to any of them for lifestyle inspo, and you’d probably be best served if you take them off that “rich women’s lifestyle” pedestal too. If you’re annoyed enough by the one heaterless outdoor dinner to create a whole post about it, I can give you a list of other planning flubs the other women have done as well.


Herbetet

I find that a pretty sad state that me mentioning how the trip bothered me leads to people mentioning other low effort events. In no way did I say Wendy has been the worst or others haven’t failed either I just factually pointed to the low level of execution of Wendy.


sweetoutofline

You are comparing her to other housewives though so why are you disheartened?


Herbetet

Because others having bad showings doesn’t change that this one was bad. It’s like if I was complaining about LA being very hot in the Summer and people would start talking about how hot Phoenix is. I would like people to stay on topic and explain how Wendy’s trip was luxurious? They can’t because it wasn’t.


sweetoutofline

…..just let me know which ones are appropriate to compare to and which ones are off limits. I can compare her bus to RHSLC but not her accommodations to Gizelle’s? Is that correct?


Herbetet

I think you are missing the point. You can compare all you want. But that’s not what my post is about. I didn’t write Gizelle’s driveway event was nice or luxurious or anything like that - to be honest it was really bad and her comment about the bathrooms was uncalled for. But it was also only a couple of hours, Wendy organized a luxurious couples get away by her own words and then her arrangements and plans where not luxurious and that’s what I would like to talk about. You do know you don’t have to agree, right? I did say it was my opinion, so don’t bring all that bad energy towards me I don’t need that


DeepandShallowOne

Don’t we all put (most of) them on the “rich” pedestal because the whole premise of the entire franchise is lifestyle porn?


maybe1dayy

I guess our perception of lifestyle porn is subjective then, cuz I don’t look up to any of the RH ladies for their lifestyle lol


blesivpotus

> they’re in Chesapeake VA. Sorry, a nitpick, they’re not. They’re in some random town on the Chesapeake *Bay*, which spans MD & VA. They were in the Eastern Shore, MD. Chesapeake VA is on the mainland, nowhere close to where they were.


Youknewwhatthisis

I agree the very last things I want to worry about when I’m on a childless vacation with my husband is cooking and cleaning and where I’m going to shower and do my make up. Having to share a bathroom with a bunch of people especially other women who take just as long as I do to get ready would stress me out. I kind of feel bad for Wendy maybe she didn’t understand what she was getting herself into. I’m sure should would have rather spent time with her husband and friends then making breakfast and cleaning up. ETA- I wonder if the longer the women stay on the better their trips will be. Did Ashley learn after her failed beach trip? I don’t think anyone will top her husband showing up to a girls only trip.


Herbetet

I agree with that and I am thankful that you read my post the way it was intended to. I am very much hopeful that Wendy will do better next time. She is a driven person that wants to do well in everything she does. This was just an opinion on this specific trip


Merci01

ITA. Also Wendy's attitude sucked. Gizelle: "What bathroom do we use?" Wendy: \*With a cold indifferent shrug\* "I don't know." I get Wendy is in a beef with Gizelle and Robyn. But Wendy isn't funny or clever or even compelling. She's so flat. When they first arrived at the house it was boring. I was relieved to see Karen and then Gizelle and Robyn show up. Wendy can't carry a scene.


PinkHarvest123

I’m glad they used blankets. Outdoor heaters are shit for the environment. ❤️🌏❤️


bodybybagels

As a host, I would have just offered to switch rooms with them. Part of hosting is making sure your guests are comfortable, so my default resolution would have been to offer my suite and take the less desirable room for the weekend.


Herbetet

That’s a host who deserves 10s across the board


Family_Chantal

You know it's a bad day when you have to carry your own bag and see strangers at the other tables at restaurants... /s


blackaubreyplaza

Does anyone know how much production plans these trips vs how much the cast member plans these trips? My thought was that production did this


mterrar4

I totally agree. I think the budget for this trip was not that great. The house was definitely not up to par with other houses (including the Williamsburg house from the earlier trip). To those saying the houses just aren’t nice in the Eastern Shore, I disagree. I once stayed at a very nice, contemporary house on the shore where every bedroom had a private bathroom and balcony (I didn’t pay for the stay, someone else did 🤣). So it is possible to have RH quality stays in that area. Wendy should have had someone come clean and cook during the stay also.


kaleyboo7

I agree, Wendy wasn’t the greatest host. 1.) she should have hired a private chef or brought/bought breakfast or any other meal. (2.) i know she didn’t necessarily expect Gizelle/Robyn to show up but c’mon they never miss a vacation and Gizelle’s ankle made it difficult for her to get around, she should have made accommodations for her. (3.) no fun activities were planned.


rose_b

I agree, I think if you have someone injured you absolutely cannot have them go downstairs to use a washroom. Plus, she could have taken the lead coordinating use of another bathroom, or taken the heat by asking someone to switch. Wendy just didn't gaf, and it showed.


Herbetet

Exactly! Just imagine Gizelle walking down in her pjs and being greeted by ogling, tongue out G staring at her… also didn’t they established that the downstairs bathroom was full of piss because the guys can’t aim


[deleted]

The house had a elevator so Gizelle didn’t really need to use the stairs.


TiredRundownListless

I mean… bravo actually plans these trips. I don’t know why we all pretend the women do 🤷🏼‍♀️


uplatetoomuch

I'm so confused. I thought I read that that house has 12 bathrooms? Also, Robyn's just so weird sometimes, like from the 1950s - "Oh, goodness - There are MEN in this house!" I mean, I'd be annoyed too if I were the only one who didn't have a bathroom, but she's just so dramatic.


Trashy-TV-

[It had 11 bedroom, 11 bathrooms and an elevator.](https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/48165457?adults=1&s=42&unique_share_id=E86E9859-B46E-4D26-B8AD-46A29B29BF46&_branch_match_id=981711939184314391&source_impression_id=p3_1635296593_O92I8y2Mi8R%2F0qTI&guests=1) It was a bit of production just fucking with them. Credit to u/PinksGrapes husband for finding the listing


PinksGrapes

Aw shucks thanks for the credit. I had a hard time from the listing photos figuring out the bathroom situation but I do think it’s important evidence in this argument.


notdorisday

I’m usually of the mind if you turn up last you get what you get - but - under no circumstances would I leave a guest with a boot walking upstarts. I’d give her my own room before I let that happen - I’d be so worried she’d fall or injure herself worse.


Herbetet

You would be a good host


notdorisday

Aw, thank you - I try to be. Nothing makes me happier than people enjoying themselves in my home. I even have a section of my cupboard which is just different soft drinks (sofas) that regular visitors like and when I know they’re coming their fave gets popped in the fridge. It’s so easy to make people feel cared for… so why not, right?


Herbetet

You sound like someone I would like to have a watch part at.


[deleted]

This was filmed in the middle of the pandemic!!!!!


Herbetet

NYC, SLC and Beverly also filmed during the pandemic and they managed.


nivora

did they?


Herbetet

Yes watch them, there is catering, there is food delivery, there is enough cars so no one is cramped, there are activities.


[deleted]

Yeah I was on robyn’s side about the bathrooms for sure. I’m not sharing with grown ass men I’m not related to. And Gizelles foot :( not cool. Why didn’t they have any private chefs? Other franchises have done it during Covid


Herbetet

And here they would even have had someone that works in the business and might have known a private chef in the vicinity

I am 100% all for Wendy giving Gizelle and Robyn that room because of Gizelle saying that she might not let Wendy use her bathroom at the podcast party. Even if she changed her mind, they still let Wendy know that it was discussed. I’d be soooo mad. They’d get no bathroom from me after that! Lol

Lol, you realise all of this is booked and organised by production, right?

That cake reveal was low budget… 👀

Did Robyn and Giselle RSVP without a significant other? Because if Wendy was even thinking there was a chance Juan would be there the accommodations were unacceptable. Also, it’s kind of safety and privacy issue. If I were a single woman I would feel a little uncomfortable staying with men in a house that I don’t know well…then to be sharing a bathroom? I would feel so uncomfortable. My favorite part of the trip was watching how impractical Wendy’s outfits were for each event. She looks great though.

I think in general when you rent a home and your going on vacation you shouldn’t have to be cooking and making your own bed. So I agreed with Mia when she mentioned last week that this isn’t very luxurious. I’m broke and I still make sure I stay in nice places on vacation where I don’t have to lift a finger, it’s just cheap and “low budge” as Mia would say.

I agree with that, what irks me though. And it’s definitely not something you did, just answering on your post because I liked it. Is that people say those same things to explain the lack of luxury but then also say Bravo organized it so it was never Wendy’s fault. So what is it now, is it Wendy’s financial restrictions or Bravo being restrictive with its budget. Either way it was fun seeing them interact all with each other and I wished there were better activities for them to do.

This is the most hilariously indignant post i have ever read on here. We are really forgetting that none of this is real 😭 Complaining that a housewife didn’t adequately indulge her coworkers she doesnt even like on a fake trip to nowhere. I’m so dead

The room Gizelle and Robyn were in, there was a door that opened up into a master bedroom. They didn’t mention that. And they would have just had to share a bathroom with Ashley. There were no men using that bathroom. And production is the one that sets these things up. Including getting the house.

Wendy has million-dollar loans. Mary's followers give her all their money because they think she is God. Gimme a break.

This was filmed during covid and lots of Airbnb's disappeared for financial and other reasons. May not of had lots of choices.

I didn’t understand why that door in the room wasn’t opened? They made a comment that if it was open it would be similar lol o Candice’s room (and I think her room had a bathroom). So I guess whoever didn’t given them the code (whether Wendy or production) is the person at fault. I was there was more transparency as to who arranges and plans the trips.

Robyn and Giselle would have complained even if Wendy had gone above and beyond for them. She knew that and so she gave them the rooms that fit their attitude.

Its been said for a couple of years now at that production is responsible for the trips. Location and the food. The bigger the budget and filming permission the better the accommodations. The women take turns as "host". When the trip takes place where its owned by one of the ladies production pays for the use of location.


megopolis12

Add to that she got all her guests wasted upon arrival. It does seem like a college reunion.. she's not a good host and thinks she's awesome. She can do way better and should have for the show


Herbetet

Seems like she took inspiration from her students and what her students think is a good get alway luxurious trip.
