It is 2-3 scenes a day, you are meeting with people.” Vicki added she is constantly meeting with new people to catch up/follow up from conversations. She questioned whether it’s the show — or just where she is in life now. “Yeah either my business got busier or I’m older. I don’t know if I can sustain like I used to.” According to Vicki, the pace has become overwhelming. “It’s just very demanding, very tiring. And when I am filming, I’m looking at my clock like when can I get home, and that’s not a way to do it.” She also admitted that the pressure to keep up with the group adds to the stress. ![Vicki Gunvalson angry at dinner](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/rhoc-vicki-pissed-dinner-1024x571-1.jpeg) “Cause then I feel anxious and I feel like I got to stay and do what everyone else is doing. And it’s not fair for them if I can leave.” In fact, she recently hit a breaking point. “Last night was the first night I bailed out after two hours. I said I’m exhausted and I can’t do it.” While Vicki has been a staple of the franchise for years, it’s clear that filming is starting to feel different — and possibly unsustainable. Whether this means she’ll step back for good remains to be seen, but for now, she’s making it clear: RHOC is taking a serious toll.
