The Real Housewives of Sydney has returned with a bang (and the popping of a few champagne corks!) after a six-year hiatus, and new cast member Dr. Kate Adams admits filming was quite the “roller-coaster.”
Luckily, the Bondi Vet star and New Idea columnist has found a close ally in fellow first-time housewife Terry Biviano.
Connecting with each other from the get-go, the pals give New Idea the lowdown on the rest of the gals…

What have been the highs and lows of the show?
Dr. Kate: I learned a lot about myself. When you’re new in a situation, you get to a point where you don’t know who you are, and that can be daunting. I’m the only unmarried and child-free person on the show. I want to show Australia that that’s OK.
Terry: Making new friendships, like Dr. Kate, was a high. The low was seeing behaviours in people I’d never seen before.
Is it easy to forget that the cameras are there?
Dr. Kate: When you’re in that hot seat, it’s easy to forget about the cameras. Then, it’s easy for people who’ll be watching to judge [your reactions], but you don’t know you’re going to respond on camera until you’re in that situation.
Terry: It is when you’re in a group situation, but it’s not so easy doing a one-on-one chat. It was very confronting to have a camera right up in your face.
This season the Housewives take a trip to Tokyo. Was there anyone particularly difficult to travel with?
Dr. Kate: I’m very close with Terry, she’s my little soul sister. She’s brave, has integrity and we both love fashion, so she was easy to travel with. We share a lot of similar values.
Terry: You don’t really know someone until you travel with them. Most of the ladies were up for having fun, but some were more high maintenance.
How did your loved ones react when you signed on?
Dr. Kate: My Mum is very scared for me. My sister was excited and was like, “You’ve been preparing for this since the day you were born!”
Terry: My family were like, “Oh God, no! I also took a lot of convincing to take part. The older you get, the more complacent you become, but I also believe that it’s never too late to try something new or take a chance. This is probably the biggest risk I’ve ever taken. I’m proud I had the courage to do it.
Are you worried about how the public will react to you?
Dr. Kate: I’m not going to fight over stupid stuff on this. When you work as a vet and deal with life and death every day, that puts everything into perspective. If the world doesn’t like me, so be it.
Terry: I’m quite sensitive. I do care what people think, but all that really matters is what my true friends and family think of me.
