Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first Housewives practice to deceive. Beginning with: pickleball is a thing. And also, ya know, marital strife, friends on the outs, and possibly misrepresenting close relationships. Sarah reflects on the glorious current generation of Housewives (and the difficulty in picking her overall top pick), and realizes the best way to deep dive is with one of her fave swimmers - Louis Peitzman (Housewives writer and culture commentator). They pick up some pickleball paddles expedited by Karen's fave court, along with Juan's overturned baked beans, and discuss the ways that Nneka and Dr. Wendy are focusing on behavior vs. action in their pickleball battle, the difficulty in moving Potomac storyline with several Housewives isolated from the rest of their cast, the importance of narrative storytelling focused on women of a certain age, why Louis is Team Neither but Also Both for Kyle vs. Sutton, what Kathy said about Kyle and Mo's future (and why separation doesn't always lead to divorce), Garcelle's continued triumph as a Housewife and emotionally connected parent, and Monica's reliance on Jen Shah's opinions (lol) to drag her cast. This convo is super sized and super smized - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 482!
