The Reality Is

We've had a busy week on the pod and we're breaking it all down! We're talking about our meetings with Luke and Dorinda, the VPR reunions, Summer House, and Real Housewives of Miami. 

WHAT A WEEK! We obviously start this episode diving deep into the racist facebook posts of Jennie Nguyen and ask as usual WTF is going on at Bravo HQ?! Then we awkwardly pivot to talking about the happenings in Cabo on Real Housewives of Orange County and the strangest room fighting on Real Housewives of Miami. 

We're talking about this disaster dinner in Real Housewives of Salt Lake City where everyone is chewing the scenery for that sweet screen time, Porsha's Family Matters Finale that confirms what Team Twirl has known about Porsha this whole time, and the triumphant return of Carl Radke's butt on Summer House which we didn't get nearly enough of because Amanda and Kyle's toxic relationship got front...

This week on Real Housewives of Orange County, Heather Dubrow threw a book party for her daughter and Emily ate a sandwich in a Sauna. On Real Housewives of Miami, the ladies continued to use Julia as some sort of sexy lesbian trope, but all we want is to see Julia cry into greens.

This week on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Meredith threw a bizarre mid-afternoon roof top pool party for her creepy husband and Jen Shah's rehab story arc nose dived as she dove finger fist at Lisa Barlow. On Porsha's Family Matters, we saw the aftermath of the brawl between Dennis and Porsha. 

This week on Real Housewives of Orange County, Shannon had to overcome very stressful situations like dealing with the Dubrows and being at Persian dinner with not one but two kinds of rice so you know we'll be diving in carb-first on that. We also caught up on Real Housewives of Miami episodes 3-5, from Art shows, to birthdays, to inappropriate foot massages, to everything that is going on with A...

We're back from our winter break to talk about Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, specifically Jennie's epic gathering of the women, Porsha's Family Matters, and Netflix's Selling Tampa!

Before we dive into Part 2 of our mega chat with hilarious and brilliant comedian, writer on the Emmy Nominated "A Black Lady Sketch Show" (Season 2 out now!), lover and hate watcher of all things reality tv, and most importantly our dear friend, Rae Sanni , we are talking about Housewives Allstars and of course the Summer House Finale! Also make sure to check out The Cast with Jaquis Neal & R...

Hilarious and brilliant comedian, writer on the Emmy Nominated "A Black Lady Sketch Show" (Season 2 out now!), lover and hate watcher of all things reality tv, and most importantly our dear friend, Rae Sanni hopped on the pod this week for a mega chat where we psychoanalyzed just about everybody on TV and maybe even ourselves. Also make sure to check out The Cast with Jaquis Neal & Rae everywh...

The hilarious @thetomhamlett of @dumpsterdivepod subbed in as Aarti this week and we had the delightfully hilarious @anewborn87 of @romanticrealistpodcast as our guest to talk all things Housewives, the mystery of Porsha Williams and Simon Not-van-kempen, why Andy Cohen is problematic, and so much more.  Timestamps: RHOD (21:01) RHONY (33:03) RHONJ (51:53)

The lovely Taria Faison subbed in as our Aarti this week as we chat all things RHOBH and RHONY with one of the smartest Bravo podcasters out here - Charlie Walls aka Obi - Host of @oddblackindividual. For the record, Sonja is a clown, Bershan is the moment, Sutton is annoying, and Erika is crying for real but probably more for herself than anyone else!

Friend of the podcast Kim Knight (@spicedbykim) hopped on the podcast this week to have probably the most eye opening and honest discussions we've ever had about Bravo's mishandling of racism and other problematic behaviors on Housewives. We talk about RHOD, RHONY Premiere, and RHONJ. 

Bravo/Pop culture social media icons and hosts of I Am The Cute One: A Mary-Kate & Ashley Podcast , Donny & Chelsea hopped on and oh what fun we had discussing problematic favorites, what makes a good housewife, the RHOSLC taglines, RHOBH, and of course...how many eggs can PK swallow whole?  Check out: @Ohnobravo on Instagram and @Realdonnywood on Instagram   Subscribe to: Know T...

The brilliant Attorneys of The Bravo Docket, Cesie and Angela , graciously broke down all of our stupid questions about Erika, the Girardi case, and the impact of the case on the cast and show. We also talked about some of their very plausible conspiracy theories which may or may not have included a racoon.

We are discussing the new Real Housewives of Miami reboot, as well as discussing our favorites from the original seasons. On Real Housewives of Orange County, Heather Dubrow is one doodoo nail away from Erika Jayning at Shannon and we just love it.

On The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Jennie throws a Pho lunch at a peace garden and it's chaos at it's finest. The Real Housewives of New Jersey trailer dropped this week and we talk about that and sort of spill some tea.

On Real Housewives of Orange County, it turns out Heather Dubrow sends texts so crazy that we side with Shannon. We also said farewell to the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip where Ramona Singer made no progress and cried many fake tears. 

This past Sunday the story arcs, the twists and turns, the displays loyalty and betrayal could be seen from Salt Lake City to Rome! We are breaking down the Succession Finale at the top of the show and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (34:00). 

Fancy pants and her leather husband, I mean leather jacket, throw a party that goes absolutely haywire and it is a perfect mess. We also talk about Winter House in light of the Summer House trailer! Enjoy!

We're talking Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and touching Porsha William's spinoff "Porsha's Family Matters" 

The triumphant return of Heather 'fancy pants' Dubrow stirred up the perfect storm of Shannon's anxiety induced by Gina and Emily's little digs and we lapped it up! On Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, the ladies have passed Kumbaya to hit a wall where everyone can't stand each other all while caring for their elderly diaper wearing cast-mate. 

Friends! We have returned from our mini Thanksgiving break and we're covering Real Housewives of Potomac Reunion Parts 3 and 4 and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Episode 11! Microwave your eggs and enjoy! 

In the 2nd half of our chat with our PodDaddies Ben Mandelker and Ronnie Karam from Watch What Crappens, we talk about managing expectations when watching problematic shows, Jen Shah the telemarketer, and dive into a crappens mail-bag style Q&A! 

This week our PodDaddies Ben Mandelker and Ronnie Karam from Watch What Crappens were sweet enough to hop on the podcast and talk about everything from Housewives to House Hunters! We had laughs and tears and Aarti may or may not have murdered Harold. Who is Harold? Listen in and find out!  OH! And we had so much fun talking to them that we had to split the episode into 2 parts!
