  • #21 The Valley Season Two Reunion Part 2 & 3 with Thomas Norman! (PART 1 of 2)
    📝 Episode Description:

    It’s reunion time, baby! Thomas Norman returns to Bravoholics Anonymous as we break down the jaw-dropping, passive-aggressive, and totally un-Zen final episodes of The Valley Season 2 — from the tense finale at Yamashiro to the first and second parts of the reunion special.

    In this two-part coverage, we dish on:

    • 🌸 The not-so-Zen vibes of Michelle's party at Yamashiro (Jesse's GF showed Up? )

    • 💍 The aftermath of Kristen and Luke’s Hawaiian engagement

    • 💬 Passive-aggressive digs, red lipstick levels, and more confessionals than actual resolutions between Jax and Brittany

    • 📱 Group chats imploding and friends turning into co-workers 

    • 🥂 The final baby bottle toasts and reunion mic drops

    • 👄 And of course, our usual Jax Bar chaos, tangents, prostitution, and finding your sparkle!

      Whether you’re a Janet sympathizer or just here for the sailor suits and soft-launch drama, Bravoholics has your back. Make sure to catch both parts of our Valley wrap-up — we made it to the end!

    • Episode 20: "No Zen: The Valley Season 2 Finale + Reunion Part 1"
      Episode 20: “No Zen: The Valley Season 2 Finale + Reunion Part 1”

      It’s been a long, chaotic road but we’ve made it to The Valley Season 2 finale — and the first part of the reunion! This week on Bravoholics Anonymous, Thomas Norman returns as we wrap up the final group event at Yamashiro, hosted by Michelle (aka the Zen Party with zero zen).

      We cover:

      • Episode 15: “There’s No Zen in Resentment” – the final confrontations, rose petals, and forced smiles.

      • Episode 16: “Reunion Part 1” – surprising seating, bold fashion choices (Jax's lift shoes), and everyone pretending they weren’t mic’d all season.

        The drama may be wrapping, but the grudges are still fresh.

        See you next week for Reunion Part 2!

          • #17 Love Island USA Season 7 Recap: Casa to Finale!

            This week on Bravoholics Anonymous, I’m joined by John Llamas — fashion icon, hilarious friend, and fellow hopeless romantic — to recap all the chaos, coupling, and Casa madness from Love Island Season 7!

            From the jaw-dropping recouplings to the most unhinged challenges in villa history, we’re breaking down everything from Casa Amor to the Finale — and asking the big questions, like:

            ✨ Did Pepe move on too quickly?
            🔥 Was Huda ever going to take accountability?
            👙 Should Chris have just gone to play basketball?
            💌 And why does Amaya Papaya deserve everything?

            The season was average at best, but this episode won't be!

            This week on Bravoholics Anonymous, I’m joined once again by our favorite recurring guest and Bravo brain twin Thomas Norman to break down The Valley Season 2, Episode 11 — “El Coyote Ugly.”

            We dive into Janet forcing herself into another conversation,  Nia using the F WORD, and the power of margaritas and screaming. This one is REALLY special because the gang picks up and TRAVELS TO HAWAII!

            From tequila-fueled tears to tiki drinks and tension, this episode marks the official start of what we’re calling The Greatest Vacation of Kristen Doute's Life.

          • Episode #15: Jax Rage and Being Served (The Valley S2E10), Love Island Casa Amor and the Love Hotel Finale!!

            This week on Bravoholics Anonymous, Thomas Norman is BACK and we’re playing another round of BRAVO or HELL NO — this time covering The Valley Season 2, Episode 10: “You've Been Served”

            Thomas shares a refreshingly honest update on his GLP-1 journey (shout out to Ozempic Nation), and then we spiral into the chaos of The Valley, where the monster himself Jax Taylor has been let out of his cage. To be angry and project on everyone in his path!

            Then, I close the episode with my thoughts on the Love Hotel Finale, where the drama, tenderness, and hookups reach their final, awkward climax — and a quick check-in on Love Island, which is still giving public makeouts, head turns, and emotional whiplash.

            🎧 In this episode:

            • Thomas’s GLP-1 update (yes, the cheeks are cheekin’)
            • BRAVO or HELL NO: The Valley S2E10 “You've Been Served”

            • Jax Gets Served Divorce Papers!! YAY!

            • Love Hotel Casa Amor!!

            • Love Hotel finale: It failed.

              Thomas shares a refreshingly honest update on his GLP-1 journey (shout out to Ozempic Nation), and then we spiral into the petty chaos of The Valley crew’s tequila-fueled night out to El Coyote on the eve of the Hawaii trip— including Jax pretending to be a changed man, and Janet’s spiritual warfare against partying.

              Then, I close the episode with my thoughts on the Love Hotel Finale, where the drama, tenderness, and hookups reach their final, awkward climax — and a quick check-in on Love Island, which is still giving public makeouts, head turns, and emotional whiplash.

              • MTV’s The Hills: A Bravoholics x Meet My Friends Crossover Episode!

                This week on Meet My Friends, we’re celebrating Pride Month with a special crossover episode from the Reality TV World! My friend, chaotic Scorpio, and bisexual icon Charlie Rojas joins me for a heartfelt and hilarious deep dive into the show that shaped our ideas of friendship, drama, and dream lighting: MTV’s The Hills.

                We spiral into the complicated world of LC vs. Heidi, the bisexual urge to be and date the main character, and why true friendship should’ve survived Les Deux. Spoiler: neither Lauren nor Heidi was perfect… except Whitney. Whitney Port was perfect.

                🎙️ In This Episode:

                • How to ask out your waiter/bartender
                • Chaotic friendship energy and queer longing through The Hills

                • LC, Heidi, and the messy art of the friend breakup

                • Les Deux as a spiritual portal

                • Bed/Wed/Dead 

                • And why The Hills still hits all these years later

                • Episode #14: A Very Bravoholic Birthday Breakdown! (The Valley SSN2 E8 +E9, Love Hotel, Summer House, Love Island Week 1+2))

                  Welcome back to Bravoholics Anonymous, your weekly support group for Bravo drama, reality TV spirals, and pop culture meltdowns. This week, I’m flying solo — and it’s my birthday! So naturally, I unwrapped the chaos.

                  We’re covering two episodes of The Valley (yes, Zack’s one-liners are elite), diving into the latest Love Island drama, ranking the entire cast of Summer House, and exploring the Love Hotel plotlines we can't stop spiraling over.

                  Plus: We get into the copycat conspiracy swirling around Paige DeSorbo’s new pajama line, Daphne, and the suspicious timing of Amanda’s bikini launch — which, let’s be honest, fits like a Bravo subplot. If you're here for fashion feuds, birthday cameos, and a little light investigative work, you’re in the right place.
