The journey continues. Sarah and AG guest cohost Erica Cobb (NAACP-Awards nominated host, 'Comeback with Erica Cobb,' co-host of Accidentally Informed with Claudia Jordan) continue on their epic two-part odyssey. Over the course of this epic two-part spectacular, they discuss Dr. Greg's continued chaos on M2M (and why accountability is sorely lacking, for now), Erica's experience talking Housewives with a RHOA alum, surrogacy representation on Bravo, why Erica believes Mia is going to remain on ...

Sarah gets ready for her journey in Paris only to realize, wait, without unpacking the emotional baggage on Potomac, Beverly Hills, and Married to Medicine, she can't be truly chic c'est la vie. So she throws her passport with some Kyle by Shahid caftans, and Zooms up her fave Bravo world traveler, Erica Cobb (NAACP-Awards nominated host, 'Comeback with Erica Cobb,' co-host of Accidentally Informed with Claudia Jordan). Over the course of this epic two-part spectacular, they discuss Dr. Greg's c...

Sarah realizes that thanks to Joely Fisher's ghost RSVP, there may be an extra seat at Jennifer Tilly's Caviar Kaspia table. She shows up in full caftan splendor and a gifted case of Diamond Water - a fun gift for attendees, especially Dorit, because she loves diamonds and her house may be underwater - only to discover that the seat has in fact been taken, by Morally Corrupt's Playboy cover. No worries, great American history should be paid respect. So what better use of her now-available time t...

Sarah and AG guest co-host Tom Smyth (writer and Bravoholic) unpack all things The Traitors: a shocking exit mourned the nation over, strategic errors in this season's Traitors picks and essentially anything within 5 feet of Danielle, why the reunion may be particularly awkward for Danielle (and whether there is a line in how 'gamers' play Traitors, the difference in Danielle vs. Carolyn's performance strategy, and which reality TV franchise Sarah would love to see represented. SUPPORT THOSE IMP...

When the cloffice becomes the People's People's Court. Sarah and TIP guest co-host Tom Smyth (writer and Bravoholic) sit down to record a Taking it Personally about The Traitors, when news breaks about Karen Huger's shock sentencing. This ep is one for the books. They react to the news which was announced moments before pressing record, discuss Karen's journey (and potential future) on the show, the judge's decision, whether the show would go on pause while she's in camp, and what a future of RH...

Sarah watches part 1 of the Potomac reunion and thinks, this is it. This is a return to form, a comedic delight, a chance to Xerox a pic of Karen and frame it for the cloff, a shrine to a woman who once was and may or may not be again, and a friendship bracelet for Dr. Wendy and Gizelle. While away from the cloffice, RHOP is no far from mind, so Sarah mentions it all: Karen's handling of her DUI (and what the Washington Post/prosecutorial team has to say about her legal matter), Gizelle and Wend...

It ain't over til it's over. After watching the Augusta arc on RHOBH, Sarah goes back in time to an episode recorded right before her solo ep. There's just so much to unpack, and much like Sutton with Kyle and Garcelle, Sarah realizes she really needs an emotional support pal to go through this journey. Thankfully, she Zooms up her Bravoholic pal, Vanessa Rizi (one-half of the Real Moms of Bravo content creator/podcast empire). They discuss how to talk about Sutton's dad's death while also memor...

Sarah watches the new episode of Beverly Hills, and immediately buys 7 million stock shares for Kleenex. After calling customer service when a few boxes fail to materialize - isn't that how investing works - she rides a wave of tears into the cloffice, with thanks to Phaedra as her spiritual lifeguard. It's a doozy of an episode, and a doozy of a deep dive: Garcelle, Kyle, Sutton, and, duh, Reba's perspectives on Sutton's childhood, the different ways Sutton and Reba processed - or didn't - grie...

Sarah watches the Super Bowl and realizes the provenance of this American pastime: a gladiatorial reckoning also known as the last two seasons of Salt Lake. Inspired by the birds (from Philly, and those terrorizing Karen Huger from afar), she Zooms up another Philly fan, and an athlete in the sport of Housewives deep diving, Kiki Monique (host of "Reality Checked" on Radio Andy). They hop into the end zone, and discuss the inevitability of projecting accountability onto Housewives whose actions ...

Sarah gets a copy of PK's 7-page email and thinks to herself, when did we create page numbers for email and is a Gallitine's Day message to Chris Manzo measured in the dozens of pages, or merely tens? Reassured that such calls are made only in the wilds of Beverly Hills, she picks up the sage initially missing from Kathy Hilton's plate, and Zooms up another delightful herb in spiritual gummy form: content creator and host of the pod "High & Low," Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They tell Mauricio...

Sarah makes some Eras Tour-style friendship bracelets for her Housewives top 5 (Shan (duh), Dolo, Kenya, Barlow, and...Kyle) before she realizes that while she and Kyle are still on very friendly terms 'overall,' there's some extra stuff to say. So she puts her beadwork aside, next to a shrine for Pedro Pascal, and deep dives what the last two episodes of Beverly Hills have had in store: why Kyle has perhaps 'jumped the Vandershark,' Boze's continued triumph as a first-season Housewife doing the...

The journey continues. Next up: NY, BH, Married 2 Med, Atlanta, and Gretchen Rossi Beauté.

After Sarah spends Shabbat at her favorite Upper East Side temple - Bergdorf Goodman, amen - and realizes that after a week of solid Housewives content, she is truly hashtag blessed. She heads to the cloffice for a prayer circle focused on grace, accountability, and zest, thanks to one of her fave Bravoholic pals, Rafi D'Angelo (writer, overpriced vodka.com).

After returning from a trip home to RI, Sarah returns to her other spiritual sanctuary: the cloffice. She realizes that even with SLC reaching new heights, and BH providing ongoing fascination, what she wants to watch and unpack first is - perhaps surprisingly, including to herself - the RHONY reunion. And her wish is the cloffice's command. She deep dives the core issues facing the show (even in an episode with a faster pace), the difference between not being 'self-aware' and sincere, the issue...

Sarah joins a crowd in Times Square not-so-patiently waiting for "Total Request Live." How else to count down to an Uber-viral remix of RHOSLC? She realizes the best way to pay tribute to these legends is with the mastermind behind said prestige work of art, T. Kyle (producer, content creator, and host of the pod "Legends Only"). They fly commercial from midtown Manhattan to the cloffice (the only way to ensure Sarah can sit in 17c), and discuss T. Kyle's journey in front of and behind Bravo's c...

The journey continues. On Part 2, Sarah unpacks a moment by moment RHONY finale deep dive, Brynn's distorted version of events in a post-finale interview with Rolling Stone (inc. moments that gave Sarah extra side-eye), Erin's response, and more. The RHONY reboot was supposed to return the franchise to a non-toxic form, and spoiler alert, it ended in Chernobyl - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 634! Part 2!

Sarah watches the RHONY finale and immediately is filled with so much anger she becomes the secret ingredient in the next round of Ubah Hot. Bewildered, frustrated, and filled with yes, just a wee bit of rage, she takes to the cloffice for a 193-hour deep dive. Part 1: a profound misinterpretation of what qualities as entertainment, Bravo's wildly irresponsible lack of care for its audience, Sarah's feeling of why Brynn should not return to the franchise, the ways empathy should not become a per...

Sarah hops on a Q train (destination listed as 'hell' on her DVR), and sees a poster asking residents to get involved when someone breaks the law: "if you see something, say something." Inspired and activated by an obvious call to action against New New York, she invites over fellow RHONY activist, Alison Leiby. They leave their pitchforks outside the cloffice door, and discuss a true 'come to Jesus' convo about RHONY (perfect for two Jews), confusing pranks with humor, finding middle ground fro...

Sarah goes to lunch as the honorary 9th Lisa. After throwing on a brunette wig entirely similar from her roots (she's a *dark blonde,* ok? A dark blonde), and clipping tags from her clothes because she's pretty sure Nordstrom will still accept the return, she realizes the best dish is one best served piping hot - like the SLC finale, current BH drama, and series finale of New New York. So she welcomes her Bravoholic pal Abbey Bonadies (content creator and brand marketing strategist) to the cloff...

Sarah takes an Uber Pool with Moses to schlep back the 10 Commandments in time for the Salt Lake City finale. She reads one of the biggies, "thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor," and texts it to Whitney in case she decides to move, "thou shalt not murder" to Angie in advance of that "banana peel" example, "you shall not make false idols" to Brittani about herself, and saves the rest for the reunion. After watching the literally impeccable finale, she realizes the holiest scrol...

Whether you're a Traitor, a Faithful, or simply Tom Sandoval in what was once a clean tee, this Taking it Personally has something for everyone. Sarah is joined by AG guest co-host Jared Alexander to unpack the wild first three episodes of The Traitors season 3, from a bewildering initial strategy, cull decision that Sarah believes is a federal crime, on-camera accountability for Sandoval (oddly enough, more straightforward than what played out on VPR), and why Bravoholics need to be in the Peac...

Sarah finds out that The Real Housewives of Rhode Island may actually be coming to fruition, and screams so loudly that small animals run from Federal Hill to the Providence Place Mall. After lighting a candle taped to a bottle of Buddy's Marinara, she realizes the best way to process this possibility is with a few Bravo fan and Rhody native, comedian Jake Cornell. They grab glasses of coffee milk, forget how to pronounce any word ending with an "r," and head to the cloffice to mention it all: J...

Housewives is can be a balm for the soul, a stop gap from the world outside, bad marriage contraception, and more. And the greater Bravo community is so often a connective thread. After sharing resources in the show notes from Mutual Aid LA, and a creator fundraiser on IG to support firefighter heroes, Sarah takes a moment to escape to Salt Lake. A land of not so secret recording, after show followups that make everything even more complicated, and continued fascination about Britani and Bronwyn...

Sarah looks at her Google Cal (a DVR copy/paste), and realizes that the new year has *finally* begun - now that Bravo is back to releasing new eps. In preparation for more New Dorit, and the recording reveal on Salt Lake, she realizes a professional is needed, stat.
