Host Meredith recaps The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 7, Episode 10 “Cabin Fever,” starting with fallout from the bowling night and Tamra’s implant-removal recovery, noting Vicki didn’t visit her immediately while Gretchen did. Meredith argues Alexis isn’t “dumb,” highlighting her move to align with Vicki after sensing Gretchen and Tamra icing her out. Alexis hosts a one-night “glamping” trip despite her recent nose job, bringing her former makeup artist Shannon for help; Vicki brings Brianna, and Heather and Alexis clash as Heather takes over logistics while Alexis complains about missing amenities. Around the fire, Vicki says Brianna being cancer-free gives her perspective and she owes Gretchen an apology, though she won’t take full blame. The trip’s running jokes include Alexis calling the front desk, gifting everyone infinity scarves, and debates about Alexis renting, insurance, and wearing a fake ring after a robbery. Gretchen skips the trip due to a damaged voice and struggles in vocal rehearsal, blaming Slade’s improv-fueled fight for hurting her Pussycat Dolls opportunity.
