She's Speaking with Emily Hanks

Kendrick and I stand firm in our stance that it's time for Andy to pass the baton over to someone who is fresh and ready for these reunions because that man looked TIRED for part 2. He was rushing them through every package (or was that just the editing?), and we know he would never treat the ladies of Beverly Hills this way. We reference an episode of The Bravo Docket podcast regarding Bethenny's...

Lori and her brother Alex should have been held on suspicion and ultimately charged in the death of Charles Vallow right from the jump! Nothing about their story added up, and if the police had done their JOB Tylee and JJ would be alive today. The Chandler, AZ Police Department need to be held accountable for their utter incompetence and downright laziness. Pia and I recap all 3 parts of the Netfl...

I think this is the shortest recap I've ever done but when you listen you'll find out why.... This might be considered a controversial statement, but Austen is having a redemption season. That monologue in the shoe store with Taylor was one of the most heartfelt moments we've ever seen from him. And then the physical comedy on the tennis court?? And what about the butt bit!? I am so down for this...

Either Erika's lawyers didn't explain things properly or she just didn't want to hear it. The timing of the case being dismissed in Chicago in order to be filed in California couldn't have been worse. She used that as vindication and justification for her abhorrent behavior the night before. Erika's refusal to participate in Kemo Sabe and Dorit's decision to stay by her side sent Kyle on a tequila...

We still don't know why Sanya is mad at Drew. Now she's claiming that they DID talk in Drew's room in front of her makeup artist, and the reason she's upset is because Drew betrayed her trust. Huh?? Andy looked like he was not enjoying her contribution to this reunion, so I hope they decide to bring her back and give her another chance. Of course Kendrick and I discuss the questionable seating arr...

Taylor is so blessed by God that she gets to love Shep while he works on himself. Isn't that awesome? While Shep was in Bermuda downloading Raya, Taylor was back home hoping he would return to her so she could continue loving him in the name of God. In addition to breaking down that dysfunction, I explain why Leva is officially on my list, complain (again) about the network's insensitivity to the...

Apparently compassion is a trigger word for Erika Girardi. As soon as Garcelle or Crystal utters the word she spins into a teeth baring feral cat, hissing at them for even suggesting she think about someone other than herself for a second. Erika said all the things we assumed she was thinking, but now we have official confirmation that she is a textbook narcissist. Kathy is trying to hawk Nicky's...

We were rooting for Sheree, but she lost us when she tried to charge $140 for a graphic tee with her tacky logo on it. How can one person be so bad at business? And how did Kenya manage to figure out how to make 5,000 CVS locations happen without spending $1 million and having a meltdown? One thing we DEFINITELY need this season is a Secrets Revealed episode with all the bonus footage from the She...

Craig's horrible toxicity has arrived and it's in the form of spinning Naomie into the "crazy ex girlfriend". The reality is he never communicated properly with Paige OR Naomie and he's inaccurately delivering information to both parties. He wants the story to be: Naomie is still in love with Craig. Craig is in love with Paige. Naomie regrets ever breaking up with Craig and Craig wins Southern Cha...

Kyle had the whole thing planned out. Even though she is the WORST host, she INSISTS on hosting MULTIPLES TIMES a season. She lured everyone to her tiny cabin of doom, didn't help Mauricio cook or set up, complained when Kathy asked for NAPKINS, tricked Rinna into bringing out the Ouiji Board, asked her dumb questions, and led the conversation towards a total Sutton destruction. Kyle is also aidin...

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!

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! Host of the podcast Reality & Comics Too! Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...

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...
