It stars The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Kyle Richards, LuAnn de Lesseps and Ramona Singer from the The Real Housewives of New York City, and Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga from the New Jersey cast. Rounding out the group are Kenya Moore and Cynthia Bailey from the Atlanta series. From old disputes to new friendships, this show offers lots of luxury-infused drama.

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

Part unscripted drama, part retrospective, this surprisingly thoughtful spin-off features some iconic cast members coming together while remembering their most notable Housewives moments. As they sunbathe, drink, and argue (while becoming friends), the women flash back to previous episodes, showing their most memorable (and sometimes over-the-top) scenes. On some occasions these flashbacks serve as a way of making the show more entertaining. But a few of them also highlight some of the real-life challenges these women have faced as a result of being on a popular reality show for so long. If you're a Real Housewives fan, no doubt that The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip will appeal to you.
