#115 RHOM: S7E17 - Saved A Wretched Like Me

This episode of The Real Housewives of Miami had us saying Adria-NAH!, as we learned that Marysol suggested the Wretched Defense and Adriana leaned all the way into that mess. Julia guilted everyone into watching her sing again. And, based on her public speaking skills, Stephanie may very well be early-model A.I.? Even so, we LOVED this season of Miami and will miss this troupe of technicolor megalomaniacs! Time to put on a fringe leotard and character shoes, hit up a Christmas party/gifting sui...

#114 RHOM: S7E16 - A Chris-Rivers Runs Through It

On The Real Housewives of Miami, it’s Art Basel week, and Adriana made us appreciate Chris Rivers’ paintings that didn’t interest us at all at first! But she also made us remember how her defensiveness & paranoia can make her the absolute worst person in the room. Larsa has abandoned her children but adopted a WhIsBe gummy bear. And Kiki is unmasked as the Math-Cake Bandit! Time to abscond into the night in an Amazon delivery van and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

#112 RHOM: S7E14 - Naut(ical) today, Steph

On this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Miami, we learn that Julia's hairstylists hate her, Kiki's dad discovers he enjoys salmon and meeting his daughter halfway, and Jody has reasonable relationship requests! The rest was one long infomercial for two billionaires' businesses and a blurred-out-boobies teaser for Larsa's OF.

#111 RHOM: S7E13 – Nothing Beats a (private)Jet2 Holiday

Lisa is divorced! Larsa is unmoved. Stephanie loves the smell of horse farts! Oh, and she’s also ferally projecting her issues with her sisters onto Marysol & Alexia. And Jesus is a patio umbrella! Time to turn on the stupid party lights in the PJ, find “a shoulder to talk to,” and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

#110 RHOM: S7E12 - The “Roon”s of Spain

Julia wants some male figures in her boys’ daily lives in Miami, so she’s chosen as their godfathers two guys… in Spain. Lisa finally unfollowed Larsa’s ex. And Kiki & Adriana’s “ratchet” vs “old” insult contest was a stain on American tourists & gave Stephanie a panic attack. Time to poorly doodle a dong, then intentionally put on only clothing with external zippers to “roon” the seats in Stephanie’s PJ, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

Aug 25, 20251 hr 22 minEp. 115

#108 RHOM: S7E8 - A Tale of Two Ship-ies

On The Real Housewives of Miami, tensions ran so high that the girls’ weekend on the high seas had to happen on two separate yachts! Stephanie thoroughly grossed us out by delighting in designing a separate entrance for her castle staff. Adriana got the drunkest but was also the right-est about the Julia/Guerdy drama. And Dr. Nicole was back on the call sheet and we want more! Time to have one (bottle of) champagne, yell incessantly about dry-ass, wrinkled old knees, and tune into this week’s A ...

#107 RHOM: S7E7 - “Never! Stop! Fighting!”

The Real Housewives of Miami took Karamo’s instruction to heart and gave us an episode where Julia & Guerdy continued their old fight, Stephanie & Alexia started a new fight, and Ramona & Margee fought ABOUT these fights! With the exception of some moments of sweet reprieve with Tias, kids, goats, and donuts, it was mostly mayhem in Miami. So time to grab a drink from the Rolls‘ center console, tally up that Cosmic Scoreboard, and tune into this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

# 106 RHOM: S7E6 - Night of A Thousand Narcissists

Ever wonder what it would look like if Villa Rosa and Casa Bonita had a baby? Well, the Real Housewives of Miami took us there for Alexia’s Narcissist Party that was about Todd, but then not at all about Todd, and eventually just became all about Lisa, as “self-help expert”/”hocus pocus TikToker” Daniel faded into the greenery. We voted Guerdy and Russell Best Couple and Stephanie and her dad, Worst Nightmares. Time to put on your finest footwear in case your feet wind up on camera in a bathroom...

Jul 19, 20251 hr 33 minEp. 111

#105 RHOM: S7E5 - Stalled In a Sprinter

On the Real Housewives of Miami, Lisa is inexcusably late… again. And then she’s inexcusably awful, as usual. Stephanie redeems herself from her lame storyline this episode by taking Lisa to the mat for being a disrespectful dumbass. Guerdy gives up on Julia, as do we all. And Alexia prepares to host a Mirror, Mirror On The Internalized-Misogyny party! Time to tie on a toga, count your coconuts, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

#104 RHOM: S7 E3/4 - Stephanie ‘s First Hour and a Terrible Baby Shower!

On The Real Housewives of Miami, Guerdy may have decorated for Halloween, but Julia is the resident ghoul-ia. Lisa’s dad has been buried, but her daddy issues remain very much above ground. Kiki is solid gold, Stephanie insists she’s not a gold digger, and Alexia is sleeping with trash. Time to gag on a diaper, crawl into bed with a migraine/Todd, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

Jul 05, 20251 hr 30 minEp. 109

#103 RHOM: S7E2 - He’s Got Jody Glidden Eyes

On The Real Housewives of Miami, Preston gracefully sets boundaries, and Larsa tramples all over them. Guerdy investigates reconstructive options for her body, while Alexia explores every destructive relationship option with Todd. And it seems maybe Jody got neck deep in “AC” in Milan? Time to put on some satin pants with no undies, take a shot of sake from a small wooden box, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

Jun 21, 20251 hr 29 minEp. 108

#102 RHOM: S7E1 – Two Break Ups, Two Babies, and Too Much Jody!

The Real Housewives of Miami supersized every second of their supersized premiere! Julia & Martina are new parents! Larsa & Marcus are over. And Alexia & Todd are divorcing… but are also still married, and also secretly dating? Soooo… yeah. Jody’s birthday party tried to tell us “The Meat Made Me Do It,” but Ramona & Margee think the drama might be more a result of daddy issues, dated belief systems, with a side of internalized misogyny. Time to get “cozy” in a 6,000 square foot ...

#101 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E17 (PART 2) We CAN With This Guy – Josh Higgins Enters The Chat!

It’s only our second ever GUEST-PISODE!! Ramona’s partner in marriage, parenthood, and (most importantly?) her partner in Bravo TV watching, JOSH HIGGINS, joins us to talk through part two of the Summer House reunion! There is consensus that - at least through a therapy-informed lens - Carl rules, Kyle’s a fool, Jesse’s a tool, and Craig is the worst. Also, could the time be coming for Amanda to take a page from Paige’s book and venture away from a partner who cares more about canned spritzers t...

#100 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E16 - Lord of the (no) Ring

The Summer House Reunion gets underway with a Bed Bug set and a broken relationships theme. Ciara & West find some healing. Jesse & Lexi are hopeless. And Paige pulls back the curtain on Craig. Imrul ruled for showing up accountable, thoughtful, and vulnerable - we’d love to see him back next season, but those very character traits may disqualify him from reality tv. Time to put on some pastels & poorly-blended blush and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

May 30, 20251 hr 39 minEp. 104

#99 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E15 - Love-Bombs AWAY!

On Summer House, it's finally over for Lexi & Jesse and the aftermath rattles the Freedom Dinner, where Gabby emerges as MVP of the whole episode! The Scary Party gives us Ciara perfectly skewering the finance bro population, the Bed Bugs confirming everything invaluable about female friendship, and an elders gathering of Lindsay, Kyle and Danielle (ugh.) where they consider what their next chapters might look like. Time to absolutely NEVER sing “Time to wake up in the morning, MY SWEET FELL...

May 23, 20251 hr 44 minEp. 103

#98 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E14 – Petty Party

Jesse’s 9 o’clock manicure is the straw that breaks the camel’s back, so – both true to form - Lexi ends it, then Jesse lies about it. Classic. Lindsay takes to Instagram to try to ruin Carl but just comes off like a fool at her Freedom Dinner. Amanda’s bikinis-for-big-bubbies has a preview party, Imrul rode a motorcycle, and Jesse & West’s room (unsurprisingly) stinks like a gym. Time to take down a Dunkin’ Donut, dump your summer fling on a balcony, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic...

May 16, 20251 hr 17 minEp. 102

#97 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E13 - No Good Guy Clause For Bad Guy Jesse

On Summer House, Kyle’s sperm gets certified “dope,” while Jesse IS a certified dope. West is briefly sympathetic, until he Febrezes his clothes. Lindsay is somehow too much while also giving nothing? And Ciara remains a goddess among nitwits. Time to stuff a Kraft single into an olive, rest an injured hand on a pack of frozen chicken, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

May 10, 20251 hr 40 minEp. 101

#96 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E12 - Salty, Sour Solomon

Between spells of general partying at the Summer House, we got a real clear look at Jesse Solomon party pooping and generally failing. Meanwhile, Kyle & Schwartz kvetch about being old-dads-to-be. And the girls (except Lindsay) were beacons of boundaries and the exemplification of self-esteem. Time to cook up some eggs with a side of stop-talking-sh*t-about-Lexi and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

May 03, 20251 hr 41 minEp. 100

# 95 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E11 - Bed Rotters and Flag Spotters

The Valley was too dark, so we took a detour to Summer House! The boys served up a heaping helping of arrested development, immaturity, and unwarranted Imrul ill-will. And the girls created a landfill crisis but looked real pretty in their costumes as they did it, so… Speaking of costumes, Tom Schwartz may have dressed up like an angel, but his Dark Eeyore energy shined right through! West & Jesse are Beavis & Butthead IRL. And Lexie delivered a pitch perfect performance as she made it k...

#94 RHOBH: S14E19 - BEWARE: SNAKE WOMEN!

The final installment of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion brought us The Victim Olympics! And, of course, everyone thinks they won. Kyle boo hoos about marriage, Sutton gets prickly about Ocean Spray, and Erika demonstrates that she is a substance colder than ice. Time to grab a couple bites of a corn dog, please do call your friends/frenemies WHILE they’re in the thick of it, and then tune into this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

Apr 19, 20251 hr 37 minEp. 98

#93 RHOBH: S14E19 - Kyle Richards in The Whiney Lotus

In the second installment of the RHOBH reunion, not even Kyle’s amethyst can stand her BS anymore! Kyle is “I know you are but what am I” incarnate, and it is boring and exhausting and entirely on brand. We learned that “You live on a main road in Bel Air” is a sick burn if you’re ultra rich, and that Jennifer Tilly herself is the most important piece of American jewelry! Time to shoot a quick text to PK, grab an emotional support snack, but whatever you do, do not say the name “Morgan” aloud ev...

#92 RHOBH: S14E18 - “Everybody Can Go F*ck Themselves, I Don’t Care.”

The RHOBH reunion got underway on April Fools’ Day and the women sure delivered foolishness. Seated right next to Andy were Kyle’s signature tendrils and defensiveness. And filling out the couches were Sutton’s projecting, Dorit’s denial, Erika’s narcissism, Boz’s exasperation, and Garcelle’s resignation. Time to charge your crystals in the sun and call on a producer to “roll the tape” on this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

Apr 04, 20251 hr 38 minEp. 96

#91 RHOBH: S14E17 - Toxic Sisterhood of the Travelling Pissed-Pants

On the RHOBH finale, we go to Saint Lucia for Carnival, but Sutton makes it a whole circus. Everyone, incomprehensibly, fights for/about Kyle’s friendship. And Kathy ices her pits, then pisses her pants, and why is she still on this show?! Time to put on your travel jewelry, get some Oreos from Grandma Garcelle’s pocket, and settle in for this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

Mar 28, 20251 hr 29 minEp. 95

#90 RHOBH: S14E16 - Full Hyps Sink Ships

RHOBH delivered a real Team Nobody episode this week! It was a Masterclass in projection through picking fights, being defensive, and delivering/accepting/rejecting apologies. Kyle’s still annoying, Kathy’s no longer needed, and Sutton was polarizing as ever and straight up ice cold when she dismissed Garcelle & brushed off Jennifer Tilly. Time to toss your clip-ins on the couch, order up some Watermelon Carpaccio (y tho?), and tune into this week’s A Therapeutic dose! The Guest House by Rum...

Mar 21, 20251 hr 29 minEp. 94

#89 RHOBH: S14E15 - Mau-rgan Wade-mansky

On RHOBH, we learn Kyle has laid out some ridiculous rules – speak freely of Mau kissing a young babe, but say nothing about Morgan Wade! While Sutton is fine to abide, we’re with Garcelle – this is weird and annoying! Classic Kyle. Meanwhile, Lael is the most centered & mature teen we’ve ever seen, St. Lucia is as gorgeous as the gal she’s named after, and ohmygod Dorit hire a lawyer! Time to put on a Jagger-approved “mature” top, slam a Phony Negroni, and tune into this week’s A Therapeuti...

Mar 13, 20251 hr 22 minEp. 93

#88 RHOBH: S14E14 - Fashion Weak

Sutton’s sustainability fashions were fine. Erika’s new décor is also fine. Everything was just fine. This episode of RHOBH was a study in anti-climactic outcomes, and that was fine by us! Time to coif your tendrils, chug a vodka grapefruit on a nauseous tummy, and tune into this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

Mar 07, 20251 hr 24 minEp. 92

#87 RHOBH PART 2: S14E13 - Champagne B*tches & Caviar Means

Sutton brings her pocketbook to a principles fight and comes out looking real gross. But not to be out-grossed, Kyle whines to her Therapist/Life Coach about Mauricio living his best life while poor Kyle is left behind to… oh wait, Kyle did it first! She’s fine! Nothing is the matter! She just wants her Morgan, and to eat her Mauricio, too! Meanwhile, Jennifer Tilly rules, Faye Resnick drools, and Erika thinks the valley is cool. Time to don a breezy caftan, heap on heavy jewelry, pile some cavi...
