Whether it’s a promotion or a pivot, a great pitch or a stroke of luck, behind most successful careers is an improbable jump that unlocks new possibilities. Ryan Seacrest went from small-time broadcast host to breaking big with American Idol. On the other hand, Rob Reilly, the Chief Creative Officer of WPP, shocked his colleagues when he stepped backwards just as his career was about to peak, and IPG’s Jacki Kelley made some moves that surprised even herself. Plus, radio and podcast personality Angela Yee and advertising executive Tim Castree have amazing tales to tell about climbing the ladder and making a name for yourself.

The brilliant, amazing new season of Summer House has arrived and we break down all the reasons why this ninth installment is better than ever. Rumors of Lindsay Hubbard joining RHONY gain more traction by the day but who will she be replacing? Paige and Craig take swipes at each other - again - in the he said, she said back and forth breakup that does not seem to be ending anytime soon. A whole new slew of Bravo shows are greenlit, filming and / or straight to series. The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, The Real Housewives of Seattle, On Safari, Jeff Lewis’ Flipping Out 2.0, The Real Housewives of Toronto and The Return of Shahs of Sunset. We discuss them all and spill the tea from behind the scenes of what to expect regarding each. Sutton Stracke claps back at Tamra Judge, the internet comes for Reba again, Wendy Williams blames her son for her conservatorship and turns to TMZ to break free and last, but certainly not least, Blake Lively appears meaner by the week in the drama that is Blake vs. Justin vs Ryan.
