🏡 The Valley AFTER SHOW Recap (Season 2, Episodes 12-14) 25.07.2025

My apologies for the late episode due to illness!! On this episode, I cover the last 3 episodes of The Valley After Show (Episodes 12, 13, 14/finale). After watching these episodes, it becomes clear that Brittany is to blame for much more than she lets on when it comes to the rift between Janet, Kristen and Zack (and I am not falling for her "Switzerland" act). Jasmine and Zack shed more light on...

*This is Part 1 of a 2-part weekly news episode.

🏡 The Valley AFTER SHOW Recap: Season 2, Episodes 11-12 04.07.2025

All this and much more! Thanks to our sponsors - Wayfair! - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

🏡 The Valley AFTER SHOW Season 2, Episode 10 Recap! 19.06.2025

Sorry this is so late!! On episodes 8 and 9 of The Valley After Show, Jax continues to prove why he is truly the worst person on Bravo (and possibly all of television).

On this week's episode, RHONY is making a comeback - in terms of petty drama that is!

🏡 The Valley AFTER SHOW Recap - Season 2, Episodes 1-2 28.04.2025

The Valley After Show is almost more dramatic than the actual show. On the first two episodes, we get more insight into Jax's manipulations and they go way further than what we've even seen on the show so far. Brittany (and basically the entire cast) fill us in on how far Jax has gone with his lies, manipulation and gaslighting. And spoiler alert -- he has no one on his side. We also get more insi...
