Dom Torres and Kyla Denanyoh overanalyze The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20, Episode 10, where Vicki’s trip goes from uncomfortable to unbearable, Tamra’s group actually has fun, and Dom wonders if one bad orange can ruin the whole bunch.

First, Dom has officially had enough of Vicki’s Season 20 comeback. For someone who has spent 20 years watching RHOC, this anniversary season feels less like a celebration and more like Bravo handed him tinfoil instead of gold.

Kyla, meanwhile, has questions about Vicki’s relationship with Michael. Why does Vicki’s entire posture change whenever he appears? Why is she suddenly shushing Shannon when Michael walks into the house? And if Vicki wants to keep her relationship private, why does Michael keep showing up while cameras are rolling?

Things get even darker when Vicki refuses to genuinely apologize to Jen for calling her “low-hanging fruit,” tells everyone she needs to read her Bible and center herself, and eventually tells production she wants everyone out of her house. Dom and Kyla also feel for Shannon, who spends much of the episode trying to lighten the mood and seemingly protect everyone else from Vicki’s anger.

Thankfully, Tamra’s trip offers some relief. Carmella continues to prove she may be made for Housewives by quietly observing everyone, giving Heather some grace, and reminding the group that they barely know each other. Kyla also appreciates Carmella’s very Midwestern approach: collect the information, observe everybody, and make your own decision.

Ultimately, Dom Torres wonders whether Vicki still wants to be a Housewife. Kyla Denanyoh is still thoroughly entertained as an RHOC newbie, but after 20 years of watching, Dom feels cheated out of his anniversary. Vicki is proving that one bad orange really can ruin the whole bunch.
