She's Speaking with Emily Hanks

The ladies are back from Jamaica and Drew is fresh out of Achilles surgery. Sheree is ensuring we get another fashion show with no fashions, and Kenya is there to make sure production pays for as much as possible. Once again Kandi comes in with the line of the episode! "You might as well start making fashion for Barbie" WE DIED! Kendrick and I laughed the whole way through this recap, per usual. M...

So it turns out Shep is the #1 Toxic Guy in the group! It's tough to make that call among these nominees, but the way he treated Taylor AND everyone else during his angry egg toss tantrum was something beyond the rest. Now I know there is no love lost between Craig and myself, but his ability to out maneuver facts to maintain his false narrative is something to admire. He also gives so much range!...

No new episode of BH to recap, but there was still plenty to talk about in the Bravo social media world. We lay out the details of what happened regarding Garcelle's son Jax receiving hateful and racist messages from bot accounts. I was dropping updates on Pia in real time; including Patrick Sommers and his taking credit for the "engagement boost" in order to throw us off the scent. I then move us...

The most on brand housewives resolution is Kandi forgiving Marlo for a piece of Jamaican KFC chicken. I am telling you right now, put a laugh track in this show and call it a multi-cam sitcom because it is THAT funny! Besides the usual Atlanta love, Kendrick and I also talk about the very amazing possibility of Cynthia joining BH next season. Did you know she allegedly lives close to Garcelle and...

This episode was like old times. Craig says Shep and Whitney are mean to him, and Shep and Whitney prove his point by yelling "you're not a victim CRAIG" over and over again. I break down my stance on this entire dynamic, which isn't really that deep because no one is necessarily "right" in this Fancy Trash Cast. The Craig/Paige/Naomie/WHITNEY situation is a fantastic new development! I get into m...

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to preemptively use grief as an excuse for all your past, present, and future bad behavior. Lisa Rinna read somewhere that people who are "grieving" act out, but I don't think she understood the part where those people weren't TRYING to be assh*les. The dialogue in this episode, albeit frustrating, was ridiculous housewives comedy at its best. Garcelle masterful...

Kenya was trying to trigger me y'all! She was trying! But I didn't let her! I was strong. I saw right through her tricks and I said NOT TODAY MA'AM!!  Kendrick and I are convinced that Kenya is just causing some trouble for the cameras. She does that, and it's honestly a little tired. I'll tell you what's not tired! KANDI AND MARLO BEEFING HAHAHAHA! That is just too funny and I don't want it to en...

I do not understand why the dog wedding got so much hate! This episode was fantastic! We got so many storylines playing out in one location while adorable and hilarious dog content played in the background!  At least it wasn't another murder mystery, am I right?

So Kyle is just going to continue to pull her usual tricks isn't she? She tattles on Garcelle for daring to speak of Erika's drinking, so Erika spins the narrative that Garcelle is "coming for her". She is also maintaining her brand of heavily rehearsed confessional monologues and speaking in the third person.   Dorit's charity event is a great opportunity for Kyle to stir the petty pot, and Rinna...

Hey guys! I need a few days off this week to deal with some personal things. I should be able to get the BH and Southern Charm recaps out by Monday. xx, Em ** Thank you for recording this announcement for me, Pia! Coming through when I needed it!! :) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There is no denying that the words coming out of Marlo's mouth are all wrong. Her reads are so off the mark sometimes it's embarrassing. BUT! She has got Kandi more activated than we have seen in seasons, so you can't deny that she is serving a much needed purpose on this cast.  That dinner scene was one of the funniest moments in housewives. It is going down in the history books as having multipl...

I just realized that this episode had a lot of scenes surrounding beverages. Naomi and Craig meet for coffee, except they really want chai, but there was no chai. Venita and Olivia meet at a juice bar where they get various healthy drinks that practically become B characters. Craig and Paige have an entire conversation about his authentic beverage preferences which leads him to say that Paige love...

Well they did it. They managed to sink lower than I ever imagined. First Erika brings up Crystal's eating disorder as a talking point, which was wrong all on its own. But Dorit topped that by sharing an extremely personal detail to which Rinna connected with using her DAUGHTER, and then all 3 decided they were qualified to judge Crystal's recovery journey. Literally GO F*CK YOURSELVES. This is nex...

Kendrick starts us off with a synopsis of Sheree's new boo, Martell Holt, we get into a little Married 2 Medicine, then it's all ATLANTA, baby!   You'll have to tune in to understand why the title of this episode is what it is...  Thank you as always to my amazing RHOA Cohost, Kendrick Tucker!

If you tuned in last week you know that I have recently stumbled across a river of insider Southern Charm TEA! Well that river continues to flow and it is a blessing and a curse. My opinion has definitely changed on a few people plus my perspective on the show overall is totally different. This episode is mainly about Austen throwing a tantrum over Madison being invited to Olivia’s party. But my F...

Erika's blackout at Diana's holiday party is officially the drunkest we've seen anyone on RHOBH. Now RHONY, that's a different story. Sonja gets that drunk at every group activity. Kyle continues to find it impossible to understand the difference between outing a loved ones life long struggle with addiction (Kim) and a friend who is suddenly over doing it and crying out for help. Garcelle is so ov...

If this was an episode of WWHL, the Drinking Word of the Night would be TRIGGERED. I think we say it about 80 times in this recap. If it's not about how Kenya triggers Marlo to go lower than the lowest, it's about how Marlo triggers Kenya. Then it's about how Kenya triggers ME! This was a wild ride but, as always, these peaches delivered the goods. Thank you as always to my amazing RHOA Cohost, Ke...

PIA IS HERE! I am so lucky to have her join me for this week's Southern Charm recap. She shares with us her perspective, as a black woman, on that extremely triggering conversation between Venita and Olivia in the opening scene. There are so many layers to this particular situation, and we dig in deep.  If you haven't already, join our Facebook Group - Let's Speak Bravo - https://www.facebook.com/...

Kathy finally returns! Pia and I get into everythang! First we talk about the newest Erika lawsuit, and the latest big production shakeup! Then we discuss how Kyle's edit this season is proving that they're not protecting her anymore.  We break it all down!! Thanks as always to Pia for being amazing!

This episode was like a sitcom. It wasn't the most dramatic, but it was so pleasurable to watch!😊  Kenya did pull one of her predictable stunts which gave us a bit of a moment at the very end. I personally think Kenya is finally starting to stoop to Marlo's level, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts! Let me know in the Facebook Group! Title credit: All Kendrick! Follow him on IG - @realitycomic...

So they gave us another filler episode, and I am not happy about it. There's also been a lot of build up to go nowhere. I didn't want to give a bitter recap, but they left me no choice! I don't know how much more of the Kathryn/Chleb content I can take. We don't know them as a couple, so we don't have an opinion on whether or not they should break up. They're not together IRL sooooooo, how much mo...

I had a feeling this would be a boring episode of RHOBH… and I was right. The bulk of this episode was setting us up for the next chapter of drama. Garcelle let Kyle know that she is not afraid to say Erika’s drinking is becoming a problem, and Kyle let us know that she will not be touching that topic with a ten foot pole. Sheree continues to glide through the group with ease. Rinna was barely the...

Ok, FIRST WE HAD TO TALK ABOUT JEN SHAH PLEADING GUILTY TODAY! That was the first thing, ok?? Because what the hell, JEN! Did you see that statement she released through her lawyer? I mean, this woman went off on every single cast member who dared to doubt her innocence! Now she's just "sorry" because, actually, yeah, she is guilty? I can't...  After all that we get into another great episode from...

SOLO RECAP - Craig and Austen come to a truce, Shep commits to not committing, and Kathryn and Chleb decide that their made-for-TV relationship may not be working out. Not the most exciting episode of Southern Charm but also not the worst filler episode we’ve seen on Bravo! Please give me a 5-star rating, leave a nice review, and subscribe to the pod so you don’t miss an episode! CHECK OUT MY YOUT...

So many things to discuss this week. First, Pia and I break down the things that have been happening off-camera. Rinna acting like an ignorant fool on social media. Kyle’s lack of accountability. Erika’s complete silence. Then we get into the recap. We've got Sutton getting bullied by Diana and Kyle, Erika hitting on Garcelle’s married son then telling her 14-year-old to GTFO, and Kyle, Mauricio,...
