Send us Fan Mail This podcast was recorded on June 29, 2026. It's out a little late! Deepti and Sean have VERY HIGH HOPES for the sophomore season of Next Gen. The squabbles are so petty and yet delightful. Deepti is surprised she's very entertained by Gia and Ariana's friendship and their joint confessionals. Ava is finally doing something this season other than just being pretty,...

Send us Fan Mail This podcast was recorded on June 29, 2026. It's out a little late! Deepti and Sean are on a little on the struggle bus, or shall they say struggle trolley with In The City. Amanda is beYond unbearable, it's truly a marvel watching her act so pathetic and like such an entitled spoiled brat. Why isn't Georgina getting actual storyline? Deepti wonders if Lindsey is ev...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean have finally caught up on THE VALLEY. Last time they talked about the Valley, they thought it was dull as nails. BUT THEN IT GOT GOOD and dark per usual. Danny is out of control with his denial and lying and Nia supporting "her man" is just so gross. Zach has been doing good work and entertaining the troops! Kristen - OH BOY. Kristen is GOING THROUGH IT a...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean are RELIEVED this season of Summer House is FINALLLLLY OVER. It's been fun but dear lord it's been too much of Amanda and West being the worst humanity has to offer. One can only take so MUCH! Amanda had a sit-down with Lindsey and showed ZERO remorse yet again. Refused to even really acknowledge Ciara. Amanda played the tired ol' victim card for the...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean feel like Lindsey at this point - they think they've really learned nothing. West and Amanda continued to share nothing and show zero emotion. Andy had to DRAAAAAG an apology out of Amanda for Ciara. Jesse could not stop crying. Lindsey wonderfully read West to filth at the end of the episode and West looked deranged while she was doing that.  AND BIG BRAVO NE...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean thought this In The City episode was a dud. Amanda is just lying through her teeth. Kenny is not compelling to watch these days so far. Plotlines are just kinda thin right now. Danielle thinking that her current guy wasn't cheating on his wife with her is laughable.  Somehow Deepti and Sean ended up talking about country/electronic music mashups, the current b...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean are PISSED that Amanda and West are NOT EVEN PARTICIPATING in the reunion!! They are so zonked out and West just agrees to what everyone is saying to shut everyone up and deaden the discussion. Amanda is barely awake. What is she ON??? She left for, according to reports, 15-60 minutes at one point!  Kyle gets pretty skewered for being a bad husband at one point. It...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean are still quite pleased with the Summer House spinoff In The City. This episode opened with a scene with Ciara, Amanda and West hanging out and it was absolutely insane to watch. Amanda and West are playing in Ciara's FACE! Diabolical. Deepti finally got activated with Kenny hate. Kenny and Whitney are so just a couple for television purposes, it's so pho...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean are still happy so far with In The City, though it's hard to get fully into it since Summer House reunion mania is in such full force. Deepti wishes she could care more about the fact that Kenny is a d-bag but he's just so not compelling to her. Lindsey is doing a great job on the show. Danielle makes odd choices and thinks illogical things in life someti...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is part 2 of 2 in discussing the first part of the reunion.  Deepti and Sean are THRILLED about the part 1 of the Summer House reunion for season 10!!!!! It DELIVERED!!! Amanda and West showed zErO remorse. They are not exactly existing on the same plane of existence as most of us humans as they have absolutely no idea what they've done wrong. Ciara DESTROYED the...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean are ELATED the finale finally AIRED!!! JEsus ChriST almighy we've been waiting forever. Amanda and West both exhibit worst-humans-ever behaviors. Kyle looks like he's on the verge of a serious breakdown the whole episode. Ciara still has no idea she's been played bigtime by West. Deepti remains incensed every time West is awful and Sean is tiiiired o...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean are THRILLED about the new show In The City starring Summer House people and other similarly situated disasters/joys-to-watch. Thank god Bravo finally listened to the fans and started following everyone in New York City. We've been WAITING!!!!! Amanda and Kyle drama continue to drive us crazy. Lindsey is phenom on the new show. Many of the new characters, esp...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean both cannot believe this episode was NOT the finale AND simultaneously are so happy that there is one more actual whole episode left. This season just continues to rivet! This week, Amanda and West so inappropriate embrace and West does a side chest cupping and it's CRAZY to see. How are they doing this all in the house!?!  Kyle and Carl have an almost fight t...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean haven't lost any steam on being obsessed with Scamanda. It's the penultimate* episode and Amanda is batsh*t as hell!!! Her talk with Mia on the beach!!!!??!?  The explosive dinner scene at the end was crazy town. Lindsey was totally egging Kyle and Amanda was LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT. What's up with West pulling up his chair to "protect" A...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean are so sad to say bye to the reboot of Ladies of London. One of the best new shows on Bravo!!! Mark and Kimi and Martha are absolute perfection. Margo was awful but gotta admit....a pretty darn good villain? Her panic attack, which Mark let everyone know on Watch What Happens Live she reportedly told someone was "an Oscar-worthy-performance", was UNHINGED...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean discuss a bit of a dull start to the third season of The Valley. Janet is still holding onto the same storylines as last season. Deepti oddly is finding the post partum storylines for Nia and Kristen compelling. Both Sean and Deepti are over the Schwartz "awww shucks" shtick. The highlight of the season so far actually is any scene with Jesse and his girl...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean are back for more Summer House drama. Amanda blatantly is losing her mind more and more overtly with each passing episode. The WAY she reacted to Jesse saying Ciara and West were going for drinks after Carl's Soft/Bar opening....YIKES. It was a vision to see.  Deepti is getting really annoyed with Lindsey's mean girl vibe...just could not handle the inter...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Reshma are still loving this new Bravo series! Reshma tells Deepti all the legit "rhode island-isms" from the episodes. Pizza chips are REAL! People really just call everyone whooooaaahhhs! (whores!)  Deepti and Reshma are not cheering for Kelsey right now, they're finding her too suspicious. They are loving Jo-Ellen somehow. Liz remains so much fun. Deep...

Send us Fan Mail Another Summer House episode, another hour of behavior to unpack from Amanda and West. These diabolical devils are out of control!!! Andy Cohen hyped up this episode but we all know better than to always trust that. But man, this lived up to the hype. Deepti basically screams for an hour about how horrific Amanda and West are. THE CONVERSATION at the end of the episode between Wes...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean have completely lost it with Dorit. Watching her has become unsustainable! Deepti is freaked out that it's even making her like Kyle and Erika more only b/c they're going after Dorit. Amanda has kind of fallen into the background so Deepti's ire towards her is lessened. Jennifer Tilly was pretty funny in these episodes. Sutton is truly just a nothing...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean discuss yet another little gift Bravo has given us. Another episode of the glorious Ladies of London reboot where they all visit the OUTRAGEOUSLY STUNNING Longleat estate that Emma runs in her "aristocratic role." Kimi and Mark continue to slay. Margo somehow has manages to be more annoying than she has ever been. It seems that the other cast members (esp...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean still cannot get ENOUGH of this crazy season. Watching all the footage now of Amanda and West is WILD. Amanda really outdid herself in this episode with nonstop embarrassment. West really outdid himself with cruel disregard for Ciara. It is all a MESS. The reunion can't come soon enough. (Also - Deepti can't help but find Sabrina entertaining! WHY is she...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti is joined by new guest Reshma to discuss this crazy new franchise Bravo has blessed us with this year. Reshma answers many of Deepti's questions like what it was like growing up in Rhode Island and if the Real Housewives are a good representation of the actual population there. Some of the answers are rather surprising (who knew Rhode Island was so diverse??) They disc...

Send us Fan Mail Deepti and Sean have not OD'd on the Summer House scandal. Not even remotely close! They discuss Amanda's first social media post post-scandal; whether Carl is still a manipulative guy in some ways; a lot of analysis on Kyle and whether he had a SMIDGE of a "right" to be pissy this season; West continuing to of course be the absolute worst IRL.  And then at the...
