Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th Episode 2 was full of memorable moments, from Vicki Gunvalson “consoling” Kyle Richards over her separation in true Vicki style to Lisa Barlow’s realization that her franchise has been more about feuds than fun, of late. Despite all that, there’s one thing RHUGT viewers can’t stop talking about: the erasure of the Real Housewives of Miami.
To recap, RHOM was put “on pause” earlier this year, and none of its Housewives are in RHUGT’s main cast. Nonetheless, Miami does feature as a dedicated stop on RHUGT. And there have been plenty of iconic flashback moments shown during the season so far.
Why then, is Bravo reminding viewers of everything we love about Miami while denying us a full-time dose of it?
Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip viewers want the Miami cast back
Since Bravo announced that RHOM would not be returning for Season 8 any time soon, fans of the franchise have made no secret of wanting it back. Viewers across social media continue to call for the franchise’s return. And even Marysol Patton herself said “the people want it.”
The conversation around RHOM’s “pause” has grown even louder following the release of RHUGT: Roaring 20th. “Is anybody else bothered about the constant flashback footage of RHOM but yet there is not one housewife to represent Miami and yet it’s also a city stop as well,” one viewer wrote on X, adding: “It’s weird as f*** to me.”
“Not them showing flashbacks of Miami and not one Miami OG is on this trip!” agreed @MissNicole0423. “How are we including Miami as a stop on the trip but no one to represent them?!” wrote @Mikaylakwtf. They continued: “Why does @BravoTV and @Andy hate them so much when they see the fans screaming for them to come back?”
With so many fans begging for the return of RHOM, there’s no denying there’s a hefty appetite for the franchise. Yet, Bravo is seemingly refusing to feed it. Instead, with RHUGT, Bravo is giving fans just enough RHOM to remind us how much we love it, without giving us the one thing we’re asking for: the return of our mojito-holding Housewives.
The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th continues on Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams the next day on Peacock.
