A Therapeutic Dose

The Dorit Dam has burst and a tsunami of righteous resentments flood this episode of RHOBH. Meanwhile, Kyle shamelessly carries on a weird text relationship with PK, Garcelle tries to box out Dorit from Boz, and Sutton pours herself a bottomless Solo Cup of booze. But none of the drama can burst Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly’s billionaire bubbles. Fighting is just entertainment for aristocrats!...

RHOBH brought us pleated bucket hats, nesting purses, and a full Restoration Hardware showroom on the beach. Kyle’s lost now that Mau can buy his own sheets and doesn’t need her to count his towels, and everyone thinks she’s being a bit much with her Dorit drama. And while Dorit may have face-planted twice in the sand, she shut up Kyle’s face one and for all at dinner. Time to take “the best seat...

SPOILER ALERT: We discuss the season finale of The Great British Bakeoff at 1:36 mark, so fast forward a minute and 22 seconds if you don't want to know the winner :) With Kyle’s martyrdom being ever-reliable and PK’s wreckage being representative of alcoholic dads everywhere, this episode of RHOBH was essentially an hour-long invitation to an Al-Anon meeting! Boz’s confidence and home décor are b...

The final installment of the RHOC reunion was the Alexis installment and she delivered a whole lot of stupid. She and Johnny J may have met at The Quiet Woman, but this lady just made all kinds of noise and no sense. Tamra and Shannon made up, with Andy all-in as Tamra’s hype man throughout. And Emily delivered the best trashcan analogy of the millennium. Like John Janssen lending money to Shannon...

It's the premiere of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and like Stefon's criteria for a fun night out, this episode had everything:  billionaires, cigarettes, lip masks, and monkey heads in a box! Kyle failed boundary-setting class; Dorit found her (still-long-winded) voice; Erika got lost on her way to Z Gallerie; Sutton showed no Merce-y to her party planners; Garcelle mogul-ed in shell toes; an...

It’s the RHOC Reunion Part 2, and Jesus Jugs has entered the chat! But not before everyone tries to sell Katie on some pretend distinction between “mean girl behavior” and “gossip.” Tamra’s going to start therapy, Heather makes a “funny ‘cause it's true” joke about not eating solids, and Emily continues to behave like she’s in some contentious courtroom drama. Time to put on a $2,000 dress and tun...

In the first installment of the RHOC reunion, some a-holes (Tamra, Emily, & Heather) kept trying to hand Katie her a**, but only succeeded in looking like even bigger buttholes themselves. Jen proved that Ryan is a real good wiseguy, keeping his dame in the dark so she can’t catch heat from the Feds. Emily proved that her mommy issues remain desperately unresolved. And apparently the whole reu...

As RHOC closes out its season, A Therapeutic Dose enters a new era with our inaugural Guest-pisode featuring friend, Momfluencer, and fellow therapy/reality-tv head, BETH CROSBY (@garbagemom)! We shed some light on why the OC women would be a hard hang for us (unclear bits!) and how the Matt/Shannon exchange crystalized the distinction between a fun drunk (Emily) and an un-fun drunk (Shannon/our d...

Lots of BMs in the UK on this episode of RHOC. In a classic Goldilocks storyline, Emily had too much movement, Shannon didn’t have enough, and Katie’s were juuuust right (thanks to some GI pills – better travelling through chemistry!). Meanwhile, Tamra and Heather – human BMs – were obsessed with trying to turn old gossip into new storylines. So get yourself some bread, delicately spread just a da...

On this episode of RHOC, all it took was a trip across the pond to fully expose Heather and Tamra for the hideous trolls they are! Shannon delivered all kinds of receipts, Gina served Heather a heaping pile of shut-the-hell-up, and Jen emerged as a whole hero. Time to have a classic See’s Candy (not that hoity-toity crap the Queen ate) and tune into this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

As it applies both to American Mammograms and English Tea, this episode of RHOC posed the question, “One lump or two?” Heather encouraged the women to tend to their breast health, then punished them for not reading her mind. Bucket hats and concierge harassment were the hallmarks of the housewives overseas. And Shannon is showing real signs of growth! While still leaning on Mr. Belvedere quite a b...

Alexis is “done” and that’s fine by us. Shannon showed off some boundaries for her birthday! And Tamra is dee-sgust-eeeng. RHOC also brought us bad British accents, Bandon being the cutest, and Heather being baffled by basic humanity. Time to set down your 700-pound olive branch arrangement and tune into this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

At a RHOC couples’ dinner party, Tamra got sloshed and made messes everywhere, with everyone. From last week’s Butthole Viewing to this week’s Butt-Dial Broadcasting,  she’s managed to run the full gamut of being a gross person. Meanwhile, Heather admonished Terry in a bathroom for admonishing her on camera, Shannon & Archie munched on carrots in bed, and Gina evidently got paid per “meatbwall...

In Orange County, Emily poor-shamed Jen, Heather fat-shamed Emily, and Tamra peed on the concrete. We also got a look at kids recovering from divorce and adults evading personal responsibility. RHOC is fully back on brand! So time to “re-collect” yourself, light your peach-jasmine candle, and tune into this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

In Sonoma County, Shannon broke down, Heather & Alexis broken-clock’d, and Ramona almost got “Get Out”-ed! This episode of RHOC had private jets, spider coffee, Dubr-offspring inspired champagne, taco perfume, Johnny J vapors, and more. Time to unwrap a sweater from 10,000 sheets of tissue paper, take an Uber to a mall bar for a clandestine cocktail, and tune into this week’s A Therapeutic Dos...

If you’re looking for 6 high-quality minutes of Shane Simpson, this was the episode for you! If you’re looking for any “it” factor, Teddi brought none. While Teddi sank 25% of the episode doing horse-girl cosplay, the other 75% was rich with family traumas - old and new - giving Ramona & Margee 100% of their favorite things to talk about! Time to blow-hum into your breathalyzer and tune in for...

A return to form for our OC housewives (except Tamra) this week! Everyone (but Tamra) had moments of humanity that made them all (not Tamra) briefly, fleetingly relatable. Ramona and Margee also touch on the DNC (no notes!), Chimp Crazy (crazy!), Christmas-y drag queens, and death. This episode has it ALL! “So satisfying.” Time to grab your pineapple – but leave your dirty plate – and tune into th...

This week the Real Housewives of Orange County goes on the road to show us a mountain house, some desert real estate, and how utterly unlikable everyone is! This group has now been officially diagnosed with Intelligence Sepsis. Come for the skincare education, stay for the behavior condemnation. Time to grab a Diet Coke from a fountain (preferable), can (fine), or bottle (if you must), and tune in...

This episode of RHOC offered us a dinner party with every iconic alcoholic/al-anon personality type gathered around one table! Meanwhile, Alexis is on an emotional Rumspringa and Emily stands her filthy shoes on top of her dresses and Ramona & Margee both need a max dose of penicillin just thinking about it! Time to scour the MLS for LA homes NOT for sale by The Agency while you tune into this...

Oh, Sandwich-In-A-Sauna Emily, how we miss thee. But fortunately, Katie has dropped right into the vacancy she left in the role of Likeable Housewife! We love her honesty, her vulnerability, her messiness, and… honestly? We just love how few f*cks she gives about Heather Dubrow. Time to call the paparazzi and pose yourself in flattering/unnatural angles as you listen to this week’s A Therapeutic D...

Jen may be inexperienced in downsizing, but she nailed right-sizing Gina with, “As a woman who lived in a Casita, I thought she would understand.” Legendary. Margee’s conspiracy theories go into overdrive in this episode, and Ramona advocates for Tamra’s dog’s right to eat coyote poo! Time to decide if you’d like Chick-fil-A or soup for dinner and tune into A Therapeutic Dose - the podcast that ca...

Holy Chic, hypocrisy abounds in Orange County! Between Gina, Tamra, Alexis, Emily, and Shannon, the truth/reality got real wobbly this week. Meanwhile, Katie continues to deliver, all of the kids continue to be adorable, and Eddie had a rare interlude of enlightenment! But the episode did leave us to contend one burning question… Would rag & bone emblazon a hat with their brand’s initials?? Ti...
