High & Low

A synopsis of the recent IG dive on Vinivia, an "interactive live streaming app" company whose CEO was just put on blast by a high-profile, family run, L.A. events producer, The Wife of the Party, after chasing invoices and still being owed around $300k. Vinivia is the same company Luis Ruelas has been hyping, appearing in their promotional and informational videos, and stating, "that's what I do for a living" after describing it to paparazzi. Then, a quick discussion of Meghan King's recent display of disdain towards helpless woodland creatures before delving into a summary of events, issues, sit-downs, and confrontations that have taken place across RHONJ episodes 2-5.

All statements are my personal opinion, any information is stated or paraphrased to the best of my knowledge and pulled from direct quotes, news articles, and data in the public domain.

The bittersweet end of the finale episode of Season One of The Valley focuses on the demise of two couples 6 months after initial filming wrapped. We see Jesse and Jax finally facing repercussions for their shortcomings as husbands. Meanwhile, Michelle and Britney appear to have found peace and stability being on their own, despite both having to move themselves and their children out of their family homes. While Jesse has mostly accepted his harsh new reality, Jax doesn't seem to grasp the severity of the situation as he continues to gaslight a fed up Britney and cancels a long awaited therapy session - we can only assume he'll wait to work on himself for the cameras when Season 2 begins filming.

We kick off a new season of New Jersey with an explanation of conflicts from last season's reunion, past and present social media drama, and accusations from ex-wives. To watch Jersey is to become an expert at navigating a volatile quagmire of emotions that remains consistent even as children head off to college and Nonna's bring focaccia. The episode centers around different groups, that now won't interact, as they come together for the first time at a birthday party for the neutral friend to all involved that is Jen Fessler.

The Big Bear babymoon trip continues with underwhelming confrontations, women reaching their boiling points, husbands lamenting relationship issues while seeming obtuse about their own shortcomings, and petty social media moves from the uninvited. Highlights include: Brittany finally snapping and unleashing pent up rage upon Jax after he relentlessly accused her of being intoxicated vs nauseated, Jason and Janet dubbing this trip a "babymoon from hell", and the menfolk misusing the term "Napoleon complex". Also discussed is the 2023 movie Napoleon and the 1990's drug Trimspa that Jesse once modeled for with Anna Nicole Smith.

A rat encounter video from Kyle Richards provided sheer joy and amusement this week, relive the moment before a recap of the Valley's latest drama, this time at an increased elevation. We see the cast learning to accept the strict babymoon invite list as cliques and continued misunderstandings abound. In Big Bear, relationship issues are exacerbated by struggling couples, because having an audience makes things more fun.
