  • You Can’t Resurrect a Corpse - RHONY, RHOSLC, and RHOC Recaps

    Jolenta and Laura recap all your favorite Bravo shows from the past week. We tackle all your burning questions, such as: What does filming in Midwood mean for RHONY? How much do we think Daisy pays in rent? Does Quai think ‘diablo’ is just a sauce at Taco Bell and not also the Spanish word for devil? Why is watching a misunderstanding about saying ‘address it’ v ‘aggressive’ so satisfying? Is the human red carpet a member of a union? And does Vicki wish her appearances on TV were just livestreams of her answering insurance emails? Plus they touch on Still Flipping Out and RHUGT.
