Tamra Judge is calling out Kyle Richards for throwing around one very specific Housewives title.
On the latest season of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, Kyle reminded the group that she is the longest-running Housewife who has stayed on the show consecutively.
That wording caught Tamra’s attention immediately.
While Kyle is technically the longest-running consecutive Housewife, Tamra would have held the overall longest-running title had she not been fired from The Real Housewives of Orange County after Season 14 before eventually returning to the franchise.
And according to Tamra, Kyle knows exactly what she is doing when she says it that way.
“I kind of wanted to punch Kyle, when she goes, ‘I’m the longest running consecutive Housewife,’” Tamra said on Two Ts in a Pod.
Tamra joked that Kyle might as well just say what she really means.
“Why don’t you just say, ‘F**k you, Tamra. I didn’t get fired,’” Tamra said.
Tamra then admitted that Kyle knows how to get under her skin.
“She knows to throw that consecutive in and I love it,” Tamra said. “Every time she does it, I’m like, snaps for Kyle.”
Tamra then explained why the word “consecutive” stings a little.
“I’m like, why don’t you because you only say consecutive because I’m the only person in all the franchises that has one more year on you,” Tamra said.
She continued, “So why don’t you just say, I’m the longer running Housewife than Tamra. Just say it like that, Kyle, from now on.”
Tamra then addressed Bravo and production directly, joking that everyone should just be more blunt about it.
“OK, Andy, Alex, all of them. Just say that,” Tamra said. “Just why don’t you just say, f**k you, Tamra, I didn’t get fired.”
Even with that, Tamra pointed out that her total years on Housewives still give her the edge.
“Even though you still that you got fired, you still have another year on me, but that’s OK,” Tamra added. “I’m not bitter at all.”
Tamra and her cohost Teddi Mellencamp also discussed Heather Gay being praised on RHUGT for being honest.
Teddi questioned that label, bringing up one of Heather’s most talked-about RHOSLC controversies.
“Didn’t she lie about a black eye for two seasons?” Teddi asked.
Heather’s black eye storyline became one of the biggest mysteries on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, with Heather initially refusing to say what happened before later revealing that Jen Shah had given her the black eye during the cast trip.
The conversation then turned to Vicki Gunvalson, with Teddi saying Vicki seemed “annoyed” while filming RHUGT.
Tamra agreed that Vicki did not seem fully invested.
“Well, she’s coming off as, ‘I’m only doing this for the money. I don’t really want to be here,’” Tamra said.
Teddi added that Vicki’s energy at Kyle’s white party felt noticeable.
“It was kind of awkward at the party the whole time, too,” Teddi said. “You could tell that [Vicki] wasn’t a hundred percent in with the girls from Girls Trip. It was palpable.”
Tamra and Teddi also speculated about Eileen Davidson’s recent comment about learning what people will do to stay relevant on reality TV.
When asked which Beverly Hills Housewife Eileen may have been referring to, Teddi guessed Brandi Glanville.
“I think she was talking about Brandi,” Teddi said.
Tamra asked, “You think that’s who it was?”
Teddi explained, “Yeah, because didn’t Brandi throw the wine in her face?”
Tamra then wondered if Eileen could have been referring to Lisa Vanderpump.
“It could be Brandi, it could be LVP,” Tamra said.
Teddi questioned that theory, asking, “But what has Lisa Vanderpump done so over the top to stay relevant?”
Tamra brought up LVP’s past comments about Eileen’s marriage.
“Oh, LVP had said that Eileen had an affair,” Tamra said. “So who knows?”
Teddi then suggested getting Eileen on the podcast to clarify.
“Maybe we get Eileen on the pod to see what the real answer is,” Teddi said.
Tamra also asked Teddi whether she would want Eileen back on RHOBH, and Teddi was not convinced Eileen is made for Housewives drama.
“I don’t think Eileen’s cut out for that,” Teddi said. “I think she should stick to scripted stuff. I think that’s where she is good at.”
She added, “I don’t think this whole drama stuff is for her.”
Tamra noted that Eileen did want to come back, but Teddi stood by her opinion.
“She wanted to come back,” Tamra said.
“Yeah, but I just don’t feel like this is her thing,” Teddi responded.
Teddi also wondered if Eileen’s comment may have sounded like it was aimed at Camille Grammer, even if that was not her intention.
“Well, it felt like Eileen’s statement was directed at Camille without even realizing it,” Teddi said. “But then I was like, I don’t know if she’s dogging out Camille directly to her face or she’s talking about somebody else.”
Tamra said she believes Eileen was likely talking about someone else.
“I think she’s talking about somebody else,” Tamra said. “It could be either Brandi or Lisa Vanderpump, who knows. Camille and Eileen are friends.”
Between Tamra feeling shaded by Kyle’s “consecutive” Housewife title, Teddi questioning Heather Gay’s honesty, and both women speculating about Eileen Davidson’s mystery Housewives dig, the Two Ts in a Pod recap proves RHUGT is stirring up plenty of drama off-screen too.
