You know him as the mastermind behind the mess — this week, the LadyGang is joined by executive producer extraordinaire Alex Baskin, the man responsible for the Real Housewives franchises, Vanderpump Rules, and basically every Bravo show that’s ever destroyed a friendship and fed our souls. We’re asking the hard-hitting questions: Who really decides the cast trips? How many scenes get cut that would’ve changed EVERYTHING? Are the rumors about the valley true? Why did Jax have his phone in rehab? Plus, what is his housewife Mount Rushmore?
