Sarah is joined by her Bravoholic pal, Michael Arceneaux (New York Times bestselling author, whose newest book is "I Finally Bought Some Jordans"). They deep dive all things VPR: Lala's "soft girl era," support of Brock as an active parent, what Jeremiah and production got very wrong about a male gaze on women's rage (and empathy), putting an expiration date on Ariana's feels, and whether or not K...

Sarah unpacks P1 of the VPR reunion. And let's just say, she is *pumped* to mention it all: Tom's now vs. then reframe of his controversial remarks to the NYT, Katie and Lala's fight about "reality" and reality TV, Ariana's decision to not watch this season (and how that will impact her strategically and otherwise), and what "at peace" means for Sandoval's mom.

Sarah is joined by AG guest co-host Abbey Bonadies (content creator and brand marketing strategist) to talk all things Summer House. They discuss Carl and Lindsay's love language (not communicating effectively), what Carl is missing about having a romantic partner (she's not a second mom), Amanda and Kyle's blowup over her interest in also having goals and dreams (how dare!), Jesse's vulnerability...

Sarah pulls out her back (sympathy pains after watching Ariana and Katie carry VPR). After taking a muscle relaxer (an IG reel of Shannon giggling, obvs), she realizes the best medicine is deep diving all things NJ with the Tre Hugger to her Gorgita Crunch, Abbey Bonadies (content creator and brand marketing strategist). They grab spots on the People's People's Couch, and discuss RHONJ's current c...

Sarah Uber Pools to Satriale's to pick up a RHONJ premiere watch nosh: the best vegan GF a gal can find in the land of Sopranos and baritones. After being laughed out of Tony’s HQ and Bada-Bing (so, no green juice then?) she drives immediately to Peacock to triple watch the premiere ep. Miraculously, after a few days of reflection and a few dozen rewatches, she has a few things to discuss: the imp...

Sarah hears the news about Dorit and PK's separation (in Celine, natch), and rushes to the cloff to record an emergency ep: what this news means for the show, their reported (everywhere but Bravo) debts, Dorit's estranged friendship with Kyle, and the breaking news that Andy has been cleared by an outside investigation over allegations made by Leah McSweeney and Brandi Glanville (and what their la...

Sarah is back from a weekend in Paris, spent looking for Chris Manzo and Pedro Pascal (it's the city of love after all). Moments before a shelf in the cloff collapses, she's joined by her Bravoholic pal, Gibson Johns (host of the pod, "Gabbing with Gib"). They deep dive the Vanderpump Rules finale: a "Jinx"-ian energy to that shock finale moment, what Lala is getting right and wrong (mostly the la...

Sarah is once again joined by her Bravoholic pal, Vulture blogger and writer Tom Smyth, to talk all things The Valley: the absolute joy of seeing Jax and Kristen return to their ancestral home (Bravo TV), Michelle and Jesse's dynamics as a couple truly unhappily ever after, a possible reason for Jax and Brittany's struggle with physical and emotional intimacy (BCC: earlier days of VPR, and their e...

Sarah is joined by her Bravoholic pal, Vulture blogger and writer Tom Smyth, to unpack all things Vanderpump Rules. This convo is good as gold: whether Ariana is being "gaslit” by Scheana, the difficulty with categorizing Scheana and Lala in the same group, Scheana's step skipping when it comes to her forward movement with Tom, and what a reported pause in production means for the show and cast. S...

Sarah's joined by one of her favorite people in the world, his holiness, Dame Brian Moylan (founder and president of the Real Housewives Institute and New York Times bestselling author of "The Housewives: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewives"). They deep dive their shared obsession with Summer House: Danielle and Gabby's mixed signals (with each other, and possibly, gentlemen), whether the au...

Sarah watched the most recent Summer House about 14 times, and has some things to say. She mentions it all: the "why these people shouldn't get married" episode bookends between Carl and Lindsay (with special guest stars Carl's mom and stepdad, and also LinkedIn), confusion around the choice to feature an extremely-not pixelated shot of Danielle's tush and her reactions to Gabby's upset, why the a...

Sarah is joined by AG guest cohost Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches), to discuss the fascinating premiere episode of The Jinx season 2. They react to the episode’s focus on how season 1’s participants reacted to the S1 finale shockers, the ways massive privilege enabled Robert Durst to evade justice f...

Sarah realizes another week has passed without any new Housewives content, and lights a RHONJ scented Yahrzeit candle. After saying the Mourner’s Kaddish over her DVR, she realizes the most important content to create is one with her partner in crime, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They settle int...

Sarah is joined by famed and frequent TIPper Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the podcast "Ruined") for a two-part Taking It Personally spectacular. Part 2: The Valley. They deep dive Michelle's brand of "quiet luxury" toxicity, Jesse's successful career as the most unlikeable husband/man currently on Bravo TV, Kristen's downward trend IRL (a special skill for any reality TV LinkedIn...

Sarah is once again joined by her Bravoholic BFF, Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (content creator and host of the podcast "High & Low”). They deep dive all things The Valley: Nia’s vulnerability sharing her experiences with postpartum depression (and what Bravo got wrong during and after the ep), Kristen Doute, empath, Jesse and Michelle's long goodbye, whether Jax weaponized Brittany’s role as a m...

Sarah is joined by TIPper, content creator, and host of the podcast "High & Low," Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. After sharing Swiftie status updates in honor of Taylor’s album launch, they deep dive all things Pump Rules: Ariana’s Swiftie energy (and vice versa) about centering a woman’s rage, the similarities in Sandoval and Rachel’s PR strategy/relationship rewrite, the lessons Pump Rules could...

Sarah wakes up to the news that Robyn has been fired from Potomac, and thinks 'well that's the big story of the day/nothing else will happen lolololololol." In the middle of the storm of Bravo news alerts, she seeks out her fave navigator of Bravo's past, present, and future, Richie Skye (news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert). They settle into a Zoom (thanks again for your unde...

"I'm exhausted. My weave is exhausted. The panty-liner on my underwear is exhausted." So sayeth Bravo Nation after a wild day of breaking news alerts. Sarah takes a jet pack to the cloffice to mention it all: Crystal, Robyn, and maybe-Nneka's exits from Beverly Hills and Potomac (and surprise that Dorit hasn't been mentioned....yet), Candiace's pregnancy announcement (likely a major reason for her...

In the words of two great American poets, "​​Hangin' around (hangin' around)/Nothin' to do but frown/Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.” What better way to describe the cloudiness of mind, body, and spirit, after watching Potomac’s reunion allegedly, technically, conclude. Oh, there are far better ways? Well, lucky for all of humanity, this pod testimony will stand the test of time. And sp...

Sarah is joined once again by guest co-host Louis Peitzman (culture commentator and Housewives writer) to unpack all things Summer House, plus some hot takes on Atlanta and Dubai: why Louis thinks Amanda and Kyle are not long for a happily ever after, the nuance and no-gos between Lindsay and Carl, why representation matters with Jesse Solomon (Bravo's first Jewish f**kboy Labrador!), West, the Pe...

Sarah readies for part 2 of the Potomac reunion the best way she knows how: by procrastinating for four days and then singing "I Dreamed A Dream" during each commercial break. She mentions it all, kinda, or at least 57%: what production missed in their edit of the colorism conversation (and several other moments throughout the ep), why Sarah has unconsciously uncoupled from Robyn and Juan's relati...
