Bravo Breakdowns

Michele and Lauren are joined by the girlies from @also_podcast for a very special ceremony honoring excellence in the reality TV arts — and the award goes to none other than Scheana Shay, for lifetime achievement in crying in confessional and thriving in chaos.

This week, Michele and Lauren hang out with Kelli Williams and Troy McEady from Beyond The Blinds to talk OC Housewives, the latest SLC madness, and of course, throw in a few iconic Wendy Williams quotes. It’s Bravo talk, blind items, and lots of fun shade!

Michele and Lauren recap SLC where Lisa threw shade and cried, Angie called out Browyn for being a no good gout dick sucker and we go to a daytime brunch in full evening gowns. On OCTamra lost it over boy band rumors and stormed out like it was her side hustle. Jenn tried to act calm, but chaos won anyway. Between facelifts, lawsuits, and meltdowns, both shows proved Housewives never take a day off. Basically, drama: 2, sanity: 0.

RHOSLC kicked off with a “glam trip” that was actually camping, Mary hated every second, Whitney admitted her biz tanked, and the only thing scarier than no hot dog buns was the shade flying harder than the RV doors.

Over in the OC, Gretchen stirred Tamra rumors, Gina got lost in her own advice, everyone wore ridiculous matching hats, and the hot tub aftermath was nothing but hangovers and side-eye.

Michele and Lauren recap OC, where Tamra drags everyone to Temecula for “bonding,” Shannon packs like she’s catering, Heather hosts a bougie sleepover, and Tamra insults Jenn with an old photo—ending with more whining than wine.

Lauren is observing the "National Reality TV Day of Mourning" for CBS screwing over Rachel Reilly, legend, icon, and queen of fighting-

And Michele joins in to mourn for Katie Ginella, who luckily we get one more full episode with this season before she is pushed to "Friend Of" Status.

The OC ladies who threw her under the bus ignore her painstakingly copied receipts to prove her innocence, even Jenn!

She keeps on kicking with Matt, trying prove her innocence through his missed calls from "Slade Gretchen" and "My Spicy Asian", a very tricky thing to riff on without being problematic, but Michele tries her best.

Katiebot does some of her best work, upgrading to being emotional and acting like a victim, and there's nothing Bravo fans love more- she will survive this!

But her co-workers throw a Beach Picnic Audition for her spot on the cast before her casket is even closed-

Auditioning flops like Chanel, Gina's ex-husband's new wife, the lovely former HW and "too normal for TV" Jo DeLaRosa, and Shannon's daughter Sophia.

No one impresses us but the current cast, who tell stories of their first heartbreak so funny and on brand that we can't help but be excited about the rest of the season-

Plus the new trailer looks popping, Gretchen continuing a Tamra takedown over things that happened 15 years ago (but seems to make Tamra so mad that her "THAT'S MY OPINION" shriek comes out, so we are in!)

This week Michele and Lauren hang out with Jackson Strife to talk about everything from the wild ride that is Real Housewives of Salt Lake City to our lifelong obsession with the Olsen twins. Housewives drama, nostalgic throwbacks, and plenty of side chatter—this one’s got it all.

Michele and Lauren recap the latest OC episode by learning absolutely nothing about Persian culture, since Emily throws a Persian New Year party without even knowing what year it is—then tanks the whole vibe by making her friends take lie detector tests like it’s Bravo’s version of Maury. Tamra treats it like her Super Bowl, dead set on catching Jenn in a boyfriend lie. Gina’s playing UN ambassador while still slipping in shade, and Heather’s calculating how many zeros this circus knocks off her net worth. The test answers nothing—except that every single one of them would fail a polygraph if asked, “Do you enjoy a calm night in?” FREE KATIE!

Lauren and Michele discuss Britney Spears's special new li'l IG easter egg and try to figure out what she could be telling us, then get into the OC episode.

What should have been Tamra's triumphant comeback story of absolutely tearing apart Jenn, Gretchen, and Katie's lies (a.k.a. The Anti-Tamra Triplets, who have begun to dress alike)....

Became a Denise Richards style dinner Xanax meltdown, but less iconic.

All the fallout of the NOLA trip, Tamra's insistence on being a Shannon diva when she needs to get to work dogwalking the girls, Gina having to pick up major storylines against her will, Shannon in stilettos; and how disappointed we are that even a motivational session from Teddi or some tough love from Heather Dubrow can get Tamra out of her funk of wanting to be loved and relatable.
