With JJ on vocal rest this weekend, I (Betsy) roped in EP to hop on the mic and talk RHOC!

We're interrupting our regularly scheduled programming to bring y'all this very special Producer's Corner episode where EP joins us to talk about the WGA / SAG-AFTRA Strikes - what got us here, where it's going (or not), and - in the wake of Bethanny taking to her soapbox - how it affects Reality TV!

In our first solo recap of the *New* RHONY, Betsy and I are talking episode 2, and our first trip to the Hamptons with the new ladies! And in classic RHONY Hamptons fashion, not everything went according to plan! We'll also be recording a Bonus Episode this week, where EP will join Betsy and I to chat about the SAG/WGA Strike and how Reality TV can or should be affected.

Betsy, EP and I were thrilled to take to the mic and chat about the sheer absurdity that is Sonja & LuAnne's The Simple Life: Schitt's Creek Edition... I mean... Crappie Lake! We also give a little RH Atlanta Update, sprinkled in with a few musings on this season of Kardashians! Also, just for a little housekeeping... Me (JJ), EP and a few friends are heading out West on the Oregon Trail this week (ie to Colorado and Wyoming lol)... we're hoping to record the RHOC Montana episode from the ne...

Hey y'all... So instead of the regularly scheduled RHOC recap Betsy, Executive Producer, and I (JJ) intended to record, we took a little detour in light of a message we received to bring you an important message. But don't worry, we'll be back this week with our normal recaps and possibly some bonus episodes as well... PROMISE!!

JJ had some personal things to take care of for a few days, so on her (very brief) hiatus, EP hopped on the mic with me (Betsy) to talk about this week's RH Atlanta, which graced us with a classic Housewives trope, otherwise known as the "let's call a truce" get together. And like so many before, it ended, shall we say... not well, bitch! And don't worry, JJ will be back later this week with me and EP to recap RHOC, so stay tuned!!

Wow... I almost can't believe that the sun has set on this epic, iconic, chaotic, bombastic, surreal season of Vanderpump Rules. It was one for the history books... It will be talked about in collegiate courses about the impact of Reality TV in the cultural landscape for years to come. This final part of the reunion - the "Raquel Episode" as we'll call it - was so jampacked, that we pulled EP back on to the mic to give it a proper sendoff. To say it was a lot is an understatement, not to mention...

What’s that roar we hear approaching in the distance?? Oh, it’s just Tamra rolling back in to reclaim her thrown on A GODDAMN MOTORCYCLE!!! Or perhaps it’s the nervous quiver of Shannon and Heather knowing that they’re going to have to step up their game if they’re gonna survive the return of The Virgoan Viper. Either way, we are HERE for it and couldn’t be more excited that the flagship’s back and, from the look of it, in fighting form! We’re breaking down the RHOC premiere, y’all! Support the ...

Two down, one to go!! And as we inch closer and closer to the finish line, the insanity is just getting dialed up exponentially!! Teresa and Melissa are absolutely nonstop and cannot help themselves at this point (clearly!!), but we also can’t help but find the humor in Andy’s ultimately futile attempts to get them to STFU and, more than anything, part 2 gave us Jen Fessler who brought the comedic relief we ALL needed.

With the wonderful clusterfuckery that is season 10 of Vanderpump Rules coming to a close this evening, Betsy and I took to the mic to break down what we know going in, some teases on this "reveal," and perhaps a little non-VPR scoop sprinkled in for good measure? And while we're getting our cocktails and joints ready for what's to come (because let's be real, we're gonna need it!), let's all just take a moment to appreciate what will go down in the history books as one of, if not the, most bomb...

We took a break from covering the propaganda film otherwise known as Teresa and Luis' Wedding Special last week, but Betsy and I are back in full force covering part 1 of the reunion which, thankfully, wasn't TOO horrible... however, like a dark cloud looming with the promise of rain, we know what's to come... and courtesy of Tre's final moments in this reunion installment, that mean's accusing Melissa and Joe of being the real culprits responsible for she and Juicy's stints...

Well, this was... in a word... CHAOTIC!! Not that we expected any different, but wow this reunion was messier that we could have even imagined - and to think we still have 2 more to go!! And given the sheer insanity of Peacock's uncensored 56 minute "Pumped Up Edition," Betsy and I took a bit of a different approach this week - watching each act of the episode before recording each segment to not miss a minute of the absolute insanity . So, let us know what you think and if we should keep the sa...

Thank the lord baby Jesus, the Summer House finale is finally here!! Guys, this season has been a rough one, and while we're ready to take a beat on our favorite Hamptonites until we watch their Summer '23 endeavors next season, last summer is leaving us with a doozy of a finale! It's all coming to head as we bear witness to the final nail in the demise of Danielle and Lindsay's friendship, and are not only left wondering if there's any hope for a reconciliation... but if there even should be?

If y'all didn't think we'd be covering our favorite Atlanta ladies, think again!! And while I know we're fashionably late to the season, what better episode to kick off our recaps, than the post-BravoCon episode that breaks the fourth wall, gets messy AF and features an appearance by RHOP's Candiace!! And while Candace killed it up the stage (and no, we're not referring to Drew's "pop in" lol), the ladies nearly killed each other down below.
