This week, Joanne and I break down RHO Rhode Island, including the moment JoEllen casually mentions she was in a sorority—and guess what? So were we. Shout‑out to all our AGO girl!. We drop quick, spicy takes on why Rula keeps hanging on to Brian, then jump over to Summer House, where a much‑needed break from Kyle and Amanda lets everyone root for Carl and his Soft Bar Opening Era. Carl’s growth is real, and Bailey is absolutely here for it.

Our hot takes on Real Housewives of Rhode Island, Summer House, and The Valley. In Rhode Island, everyone has a skeleton in the closet and absolutely no interest in protecting anyone else’s. It’s every woman for herself. On Summer House, Amanda is working overtime to get West to smooth things over with Ciara so she and West can eventually go public without blowing up the group. And on The Valley, we’re watching Janet and Jason slowly get iced out of the cast.

This week on Charmingly Toxic: On Summer House, Carl’s rage toward Kyle is no longer simmering — it’s boiling. Every interaction just confirms what he’s finally admitting to himself: Kyle only cares about Kyle. Then on The Valley, Zach calls out Brittany for refusing to see a single red flag in her new situation with Brandon. And Janet continues to dig her own grave with the cast — she knows she’s on the verge of being iced out, and somehow keeps making it worse.

We recap Welcome to Plathville Season 8, Episode 1, where Kim is very clearly not interested in aplogizingor giving up control of Lydia — not even a little. Then we jump into the brand‑new Real Housewives of Rhode Island. Episodes 1 and 2 introduce the cast, and somehow everyone is already having an affair, accusing someone of an affair, or quietly lining one up. Rhode Island came in hot.

The West and Amanda scandal on Summer House is truly beyond words — we’re still trying to make sense of what is happening!.Then over in The Valley, the whole cast is back, Jax is not (see you never), and we’re all wondering the same thing: can we take a full season of Lala? As always, we touch on gossip including Jen Shaw interview (@katecaseyca).

This week on Charmingly Toxic, we break down the three most toxic men on Bravo this week: Craig, Austen, and Kyle. From emotional immaturity to dark manipulation to their ongoing pattern of devaluing women, these guys continue get worse every season. We are officially ready to kick these guys off the screen. Do we really need them anymore, or is Bravo long overdue for a casting refresh?

The Southern Charm finale puts Craig’s toxic manipulation on full display as he spins Charlie, Sally, and Austen in circles. Over on Summer House, Ciarra and KJ break the fourth wall with an honest conversation about being the only Black cast members in an otherwise all‑white house. And to top it off, House of Villains gives us Kate running the game with full mob‑boss energy, and we’re completely obsessed.

The 1000‑lb Sisters finale delivers peak Slaton energy: Amy gets married and looks gorgeous and confident, Tammy finally takes real accountability, and Chris cracks jokes about not being able to run off Brian. It’s the family at their warmest and funniest—full of love, chaos, and classic Slaton teasing.
