I’m sorry,”* the Below Deck alum revealed on [Page Six](https://pagesix.com/2023/01/24/kate-chastain-vicki-gunvalson-is-an-overrated-real-housewife/)’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast before explaining why she believes the OG of the OC is the most *“overrated”* Real Housewife. *“I just feel like she’s always angry and always screaming,”* she quipped. Kate admits that her perception of Vicki mostly comes from her appearance on season 2 of the *Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club*, which was filmed in September 2021 at Dorinda Medley's Blue Stone Manor in the Berkshires. At the time, Vicki had just split with her now-ex-fiancé Steve Lodge. Vicki was reeling from the split and was not in the best mood during the entire trip. Co-star Brandi Glanville admitted that Vicki was a *"bitch"* during filming but put most of the blame on her breakup. *“I wanted to die,”* Vicki told *Page Six* in October. *“I mean, I was that depressed. So, I did a lot of soul-searching, a lot of journaling. I read my Bible daily. I reflect back on it as a season.”* Vicki has since moved on with her boyfriend, Michael. Now that Vicki's love tank is full again, Kate hopes that Vicki will *"whoop it up"* again while filming season 4 of RHUGT in Marrakech, Morocco. *“I mean, I’m happy for her that she’s now going to Marrakech for a redo because, you know, she was vulnerable at that time in Bluestone Manor,”* Kate says. *“So, hopefully, after this new ‘Girls Trip,’ I will change my opinion.”* She adds, *“But as it stands, Vicki needs to change her vibe.”* RHOC is set to return for season 17 in early 2023. ## Thoughts on this all?
