Speaking with Us Weekly, Bassett said that she and her fellow “Real Housewives” co-stars are ready for what the season may bring, while also teasing the feud she found herself in during filming.
“The Housewives are coming into this thing as quintessential reunion soldiers,” the mother of one said. “I’ve already got it laid out, who’s going to get popped, who’s going to get it. This one person is going to get it.”
Bassett is one of five Housewives joining the cast for season 4. Aside from them, it sounds like the “Deep Space” performer made friends with many others, including Olympians Tara Lipinski and Jonny Weir, and Travis Kelce‘s mom, Donna.

“The cast is amazing, and I’ve left with lifelong friendships,” Bassett admitted. “I was a fan of the show before, so you think you know the order of things, but no!”
Bassett also got along especially well with “Top Chef” star Kristen Kish, describing the Bravo alum as “awesome, stunning, and smart.”
“She is just an enigma in the greatest way … just has an amazing story,” Bassett shared. “We talked a lot in the castle while we were there.”
Bassett, who left “RHOP” after season 8, opened up about her dynamic with Donna Kelce, as well, saying the 72-year-old was the “castle mom for all of us.”
“She owes me some cookies and she owes me some Chiefs tickets … She’s hard to get to! Her Instagram page is not open,” Bassett joked.
“Mama Donna, I’m paging you,” the “Drive Back” singer continued. “I need my cookies and my Chiefs tickets … and maybe a wedding invitation! That would be nice.”

“I loved everybody else!” she said before spilling some of the tea about the twists coming this season.
