On today's episode, we look at the first three episodes of The Real Housewives of Miami season 6. This is an emotional journey, as we see the women try to move forward after last season's drama. In the first episode, Guerdy Abraira reveals a devastating cancer diagnosis. Over these three episodes, we see the way she struggles to accept this news and we discuss the many conversations she has with her friends. From moments of beautiful and touching support from the ladies, to moments of baffling selfishness and shocking breaches of privacy, we discuss the ways the Miami cast supports Guerdy. Spoiler: We are NOT Team Larsa. We conclude the episode with a more personal conversation about how we can let others show up for us when we need it the most.

On today's episode, we are back with Season 2 of Southern Charm. We catch up with the cast and introduce Landon, Charleston's sweetest Southern Belle, back from LA and ready to make a new life for herself. This season is a fascinating paradox of generations, as seen through Landon, Kathryn, and Cam as they navigate life as modern women in the Old South, compared to the old men around them. Whitney is a jerk, Thomas is a monster, and the two of them torture Kathryn at every turn. Meanwhile, Shep is uncontrollably jealous of Craig. This season is full of unbearable behavior and shocking relationship breakdowns, and we have thoughts. We discuss Kathryn's mental state, Thomas's failed political career, Patricia's sunglasses, and that ironically ridiculous Facebook breakup. From Cooper's problematic Founder's Ball to Jekyll island chaos, this is one wile recap. Enjoy!

On today's episode, it's a vintage rewind as we rewatch and recap Season 9 of Real Housewives of Orange County, episodes 16 and 17. "Bali Highs & Lows" "Eat, Pray, Run"

Amanda meets the new cast members from this season, and we follow the ladies to Bali where chaos ensues. We suffer through endless talk of Lizzie's failed birthday party, we laugh at Heather's fancy pants ways, and we roll our eyes and cover our ears as Vicki screams for three days straight. But the real drama comes as Shannon and the rest of the cast try to take down Tamra, culminating in her most iconic dinner exit ever. Join us as we take part in this nightmarish Bali vacation.

On today’s episode, we cover a lot of ground! We start with the new Netflix documentary, “Escaping Twin Flames,” and wow. We have questions. Next, we deep dive into the fascinating world of Bravo’s wackiest and maybe most problematic housewife. We look at Mary Cosby’s history, her church, and her craziest moments on RHOSLC. Finally, Katie discusses Bethenny’s podcast, updates us on the “Reality Reckoning,” and makes some very interesting points about the Bravosphere. Is it actually a cult?!

On today's episode, we are back in Beverly Hills for the first two episodes of season 13. This is the most realistic and vulnerable episode of Housewives we've seen in a long time, and we have notes! As we catch up with the ladies, we see the way friendships and marriages have changed between seasons. We get an update on PK and Doris as she recovers from last year's trauma, and we analyze the shifting dynamics between Kyle and Mo. We also hear from Sutton and Garcelle about parenting post-divorce and dealing with their exes. We really loved this fascinating look into the casts' private lives, which led us to a conversation about the ways we can relate to them as we navigate our own journeys as stay at home 'housewives'.

On today’s episode, we are talking about Britney’s new memoir, “The Woman in Me.” We begin with some 90’s and 2000’s nostalgia and remember the utterly iconic Britney that we all know and love. Next, we discuss the heartbreaking reality of Britney’s childhood and the disturbing events leading to her conservatorship. We break down the relationships, the media coverage, and the family trauma that caused Britney such pain and rage. Though difficult to read at points, we absolutely recommend this book. After our Britney conversation, Amanda takes Katie on a journey to Conspiracy Corner, where she discusses eclipses throughout history and the powerful phenomenon that often accompany them. This is one wild ride!!

On today's episode, it's another vintage rewind with the ladies from New York on an absolutely bonkers Hamptons trip. The champagne is flowing, tiki torches are flying, and Luann is looking for love. The day begins with multiple fights and Des with some questionable bathroom behavior and a whole lot of noodles. This one is extra messy and we absolutely loved it.

On this episode, we cover Season 12 Episode 4 of the Real Housewives of New York, originally released in 2020.

On today’s episode, it’s a vintage rewind back to 2014 and the very first season of Southern Charm. In honor of the Season 9 premier, we go back to where it all began. As we reminisce, we discuss Cameron’s pitch perfect narration, the extreme double-standard between the women and the men on the show, and we break down the misogynistic culture that permeates every second of season 1. We obsess over Patricia, we worry about Kathryn, and we absolutely freak out over that shocking final twist.

On today’s episode, we discuss Below Deck Down Under Season 2. While Below Deck is usually a blast, it’s not all light-hearted fun this season. Today we break down the crew’s Boatmance pentagram, and take an in-depth look at the wild night out that turns very dark for the cast. We analyze the” work hard play hard” culture of yachting and discuss the red flags and disturbing behavior that ultimately led to some of the crew getting fired this season. Trigger warning: this episode contains discussion of sexual assault and the issue of consent.

On today’s episode, we talk about two mind-blowing stories. First, we deep-dive the OceanGate tragedy. We recorded before Thursday’s press conference, but  Amanda is here with relevant details about the vessel, the passengers, and possible scenarios. In the wake of the debris discovery, our hearts go out to those impacted by this tragedy as they process this very public news. Next, Katie breaks down the truly unhinged  story of Natalie Grace and her adoptive family. This one is absolutely crazy. We need answers!

On today’s episode, we are back with part 2 of the explosive Vanderpump reunion and it is pure chaos. Sandoval is unhinged, Scheana is devastated, and Raquel has no remorse. Lisa redeems herself (sort of) and Schwartz is actually the one between a rock and a hard place. We are shocked as Sandoval attacks everyone from Ariana to production in his attempts to control the narrative. We are here to analyze every juicy moment from Ariana’s perfectly timed responses to Tom’s back alley hissy fit. What will happen next? Will Schwartz break? Will Raquel muster a single tear? We can’t wait to find out. In the words of Scheana, this episode is Good As Gold!

Alternative title: The Worm with the Mustache

Can I just say, I'm so thankful we didn't have to wait for the ICONIC "you're a worm with a mustache" quote from James Kennedy? Today we're recapping the first episode of the three part Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion! It was SO much to handle, yet also not enough. Clearly we both agree Tom Sandoval is the worst, Tom Schwartz is also bad, and Lisa was superfluous. Hold on tight for this wild ride through the pathetic apologies, uncertain timelines, and Ariana’s expert handling of the problematic Toms. We are here for the chaos and the comedic relief, but we are not happy with LVP. Finally, we discuss how Racquel SHOULD have handled the Scandoval and we contemplate the future of the show.

On today’s episode, we head to Amsterdam with the ladies of Beverly Hills. We start with soap opera-level drama at dinner between Kim and Lisa, where glasses are thrown and Kyle wears a cape. Next, the ladies ride bikes and look at windmills before hitting up a pot shop. All seems fine until Brandi loses her mind. We break down all the ways these women deal with conflict, reveal each other’s secrets, and fake it for the cameras. Join us as we break down this wild episode!

On today’s episode, we are covering the Ultimate Girls Trip in Thailand. We break down the cast members, analyze the plot lines, and discuss all of the ridiculous drama (we'll never again look at a bottle of Clase Azul the same). From breakout stars to snooze worthy storylines, we mention it all. Plus, a bonus section on the history of soap operas to help us understand exactly why we love the messiness of this genre.
