Tv EN ↓ 62 episodes

Rather Be Rotting is the ultimate escape for pop culture obsessives and reality TV junkies. Hosted by two sisters who’d always rather be rotting on the couch, this show is a love letter to Bravo marathons, niche celebrity drama, and the kind of useless-but-essential pop culture knowledge that clogs their brains (and now, your ears). Whether they’re deep-diving into reality TV chaos or spiraling over a red carpet moment, these two are here to talk about everything that doesn't matter—but means everything to them.

The gals are BACK and very glad to be almost done with The Real Housewives of Orange County; is it time to put that franchise to bed? The Real Housewives of Potomac, however, is off to a roaring start, with Madelyn getting her first taste of the Grand Dame. The Real Housewives of New York City is promising thus far, Britani is in trouble on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Below Deck is...

The gals are back and Lil still can't talk Madelyn out of getting bangs or convince her to keep watching 90 Day Fiance Hunt for Love. 90 Day Fiance The Other Way, on the other hand, is now the best show on TV. Over on Bravo, the gals wrap up The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip and Below Deck Mediterranean, while The Real Housewives of New York and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are...

Real Housewives...

Travis already took Taylor to Cleveland, but Taylor took Lil and Madelyn to Bummertown! Once they get it all out re: Taylor Swift's "Encore" they head to the Bravosphere where Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and Real Housewives of New York City are still slowly heating up. On Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, hair done, jewelry on, Luanne is cementing her legacy a...

57 - RHUGT, RHONY, RHOSL, RHOC, Below Deck, Big Brother, and 90 Day Fiance 23.09.2026 51:08

Bravo is pretty much all consuming for the gals at this point. On Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th Luanne's true (drunk) colors are coming out and it's giving a true thrill. Real Housewives of Salt Lake City kicked off on a somber note (RIP Robert Jr.), while Real Housewives of New York City is also just getting started. Real Housewives of Orange County was kinda like a...

The girls are back after another busy week of reality TV! On The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th Luanne is doing it all but Victoria needs to STEP IT UP. Honestly, kinda the same on Real Housewives of Orange County. Real Housewives of Atlanta is over and the ladies give it four out of five stars, but they give Real Housewives of London a big question mark! Married at First Sight...

54 - Love is Blind UK, MAFS, Below Deck Med, Big Brother, The Valley, RHUGT, RHOL, RHOA, RHOC, and 90 Day Fiance 24.08.2026 57:05

The gals have to be honest, they got nothing for 90 Day Fiance Last Resort so they SKIPPED IT! 90 Day Fiance is quickly approaching the wedding days, and unfortunately it seems everyone will get married. Couples who won't be working out, however, is almost everyone on Married at First Sight. What is the cliffhanger with Felipe about?! Love is Blind UK is back, and Lil may or may not have acci...

Lil and Madelyn break down the reunion looks (yikes) and unpack how...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET LIL!!!!! But something we can't celebrate? That infamous Big Brother tea party that left us feeling icky. JUSTICE FOR JASON! From tea parties to Halloween parties, we got two on Bravo this week!

There was SO much to watch last week that the gals almost didn't get to it all! They dive right in with their thoughts on this thrilling week of Big Brother, as well as the joy and delight that the new season of Married at First Sight is bringing. Over in Bravoland, Lil and Madelyn are cautiously optimistic about both the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of New York and the start to The...

Also back - Real Housewives of Orange Count...

Send us Fan Mail Taylor Swift was everywhere this week and it really gave the girls a thrill! Lil finally finished Hacks and has an upsetting hot take (don’t worry she still loved it). In the Bravosphere the Summer House reunion ended with a FLOP, but apparently it’s not over yet! The new Real Housewives of Orange County trailer is giving throwback in the best way, while The Real Housewives of Rho...

47 - Summer House, Below Deck Down Under, The Valley, RHORI, RHOA, 90 Day Fiance Last Resort, and 90 Day Fiance! 08.06.2026 1:01:40

Send us Fan Mail From Dua Lipa to Susan Boil, Lil came with an agenda of pop culture hot takes to get off her chest! In the Bravosphere, the ladies wrap up their first Below Deck charter - but will they set sail again? The Summer House Reunion Part 2 left much to be desired, Real Housewives of Atlanta was kind of a trigger for Madelyn and her chompers, and Rhode Island was a lil scary (they are lo...

Send us Fan Mail The girls are together up close and personal. But don't look Lil in the eye! They start in the Valley - which is a car crash they can't look away from. Thoughts and prayers for Jason's knee, and his ambulance bill. Real Housewives of Rhode Island is giving overacting, while Real Housewives of Atlanta is giving ass ass ass (we are lookin' at you Shamea). There i...

Things are getting really dark over on The Valley,...

Send us Fan Mail The gals know this episode is late, okay?! They're sorry! This week they get into the lack of excitement from the currently airing Bravo shows this week (The Valley, Ladies of London, The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and The Real Housewives of Atlanta), and attempt to buy a Fangie. Then they discuss the magic of part 1 of the 90 Day F...

Send us Fan Mail Madelyn is in New Jersey, and the gals forgot to discuss Ladies of London! They have a good excuse - the Summer House scandal is taking up too much room in their brains. Justice for Ciara! Lil finds solace in the return of crazy Kristen on the Valley now that they're both moms. They also break down the newest franchise, Real Housewives of Rhode Island (lil tells us who is who...
