It seems that Kristin's Montana trip was doomed from the start. Not only did Aviva decline to go on the trip, but there was plenty of drama swirling before the trip to create a healthy amount of drama during the trip! 

Since being called a seducer of vertically challenged frenchman, LuAnne has no doubt been pissed off, so of course she decided to confront Sonja during the trip. She felt that Sonja should have defended her, but Sonja didn't really feel that she owed LuAnne anything. Truthfully, it seems that Sonja doesn't really want to be a friend of LuAnne's anymore. She said "LuAnne has the perfect life. She has her house in the Hamptons, she has her alimony paid, she's with Jacque all the time, she can shop, she has no legal issues. Do I have any of that stability? I think LuAnne should be happy people are talking about her" - someone jealous much? 

Besides that beef, a surprising feud began between Heather and Kristin. It all started when the ladies decided to do rock repelling. Heather was all gung-ho because's she's a thrill junkie but Kristin was freaked out and it showed. Heather antagonized Kristin and the tension that created lasted longer than her descent down the mountain. When the housewives decided to do some kind of trumped up scavenger hunt, Heather was drunk and jumping on Kristin's nerves. 

That led to Kristin snapping on Heather and calling her bossy. Of course normal Heather wouldn't let that pass and drunk Heather certainly wasn't going to either. So she went on this spiel saying that Kristin shouldn't have gone down the mountain if she was going to cry before and after she repelled. And of course Kristin promptly announced that she was going home. 

I'd say this trip was off to a rough start. Stay tuned for the rest of it!
