Indra and Deana recap the season finale, ‘One Last Proposal,’ from Season 2 of ‘Family Karma’ on Bravo TV. The women discuss the finale by diving into some important questions: Does Andy even watch ‘Family Karma’? Will we actually get a Season 3? Are “moneyed fellows” on most South Asian dating checklists? Is Amrit getting married this month? Will Shaan be a cast member in Season Three? Is Monica’s stable relationship with Rishi good TV? Is Lopa Auntie the only “hard” one between her and Reshma Auntie? Would we rather go to the Auntie party or the kids party? What is Dharma Auntie really worried about when it comes to Brian? What happened to the clip of Richa getting mad at the holiday party from the season previews that we never saw in the actual show? Would Bali really carry a baby for Amrit and Nicholas? And what does it mean to end the show with Vishal and Richa’s re-proposal? Find out the answers to all these questions and more on the podcast! Also, find out what the women think about the explosive Watch What Happens Live segment (and stay tuned for an extra special episode all about it).

Indra and Deana recap episode 8, ‘Checklist please,’ from Season 2 of ‘Family Karma’ on Bravo TV. The women discuss how Bravo is missing the mark by only offering 9 episodes of this killer show, replacing a reunion with a Watch What Happens Live appearance from a subsection of the cast, and how we can all support the show on social media to ensure we get a third season! Throughout their discussion of the episode, they also talk about Amrit and Nicholas’ impending wedding, Monica’s surprising complexity as a character this season, Lopa Auntie’s redemption, Anisha’s mystery retailer, and what they make of Brian and Monica’s relationship convo at the end of the episode. They also push for an Auntie-only spin-off, the unacceptable lack of Bali this episode, and why Bravo should replace Vanderpump Rules with Rishi Rules!
