Welcome back to Knead for Reality! We're starting out with a catchup full of modeling, out of town friends, and birthday celebrations... plus, Corbyn is FINALLY on Season 10 of Summer House. And now for the drama:

Summer House Reunion (PT 2)

• Slow enough to be a swift email and Amber feels stuck in a "go get your girl" time loop.

The Valley

• Brandon added "painkiller drama" and "asking for money" to his ever-growing collection of massive red flags.
• Danny Booko is still begging for another kid while pretending his cocktail is "just water." Someone remind him the cameras are actually turned on.

RHORI

• Liz is still stretching last week's fight with Jo Ellen into a multi-part miniseries, but who is in the wrong?
• RIP to Rulla’s toenail. Gone but unfortunately televised.
• Served incredible fashion and immediate chaos when Rosie leaked information about "the video" to Rulla.
• Rosie and Kelsey's men tried to force a ceasefire. Guys, wrap it up—let the women fight in peace.

Finally, the bake this week was a Lebanese style Sfouf cake made with turmeric. While making this cake, Amber had a revelation about vegetarianism and we discuss the semantics of dessert.

Welcome back to Knead for Reality. Clara is survive puppy training and enjoying time with family, Amber went on an epic hike with the puppy, and Corbyn is off living the glamorous Broadway lifestyle in NYC. And speaking of NYC, that Summer House Reunion?

Summer House

• We see Kyle drop a backstage bomb on Lindsay (“Check your phone”), sending the cast into a tailspin over Amanda and West’s joint statement.
• Kyle and Mia do real-time FBI math with January receipts and June blind items, completely destroying Amanda’s “it just happened” defense.
• Ciara gets totally screwed after spending the season comforting Amanda through a divorce, while West was busy faking a "good guy" edit

RHORI

• Jo-Ellen brings pure violence to a peaceful paint night by painting a literal "slam pig"—and Kelsey actually compliments its suggestive lips.
• Alicia banishes her cousin to the kids' table so her aunties can validate her "homeless" backstory and help brand Liz "abusive."
• The Liz vs. Jo-Ellen war takes center stage as Jo-Ellen claims the entire cast is terrified of Liz, comparing her to the creepy girl from The Ring.

And finally, this week we take inspiration from the RHORI trip to Boston and bake up a Boston Creme Pie!

Welcome to episode 10 of Knead For Reality, we're in double digits! Amber and Clara open the show running on pure "puppy brain" exhaustion. Plus, Clara and Corbyn recount their hilariously unsuccessful venture into local speed dating, and Amber details her road trip through the land of Pennsylvania Sheetz—complete with a questionable new pizza discovery.

The Valley: Total chaos erupts in San Diego when Nia hosts a drag pageant and pulls a full Steve Harvey, accidentally crowning the wrong winner before handing the title over to Luke (aka "Miss Taken"). Meanwhile, Nia tries to manage Danny’s behavior, Lala and Danny get into a blowout argument, and a guys' basketball game ends with a scary injury for Jason.

RHORI: The drama is dialed all the way up as Rosie and Kelsey go at it yet again during Jared’s trivia night. Later, a car ride to Rich’s gig completely explodes when Alicia and Liz clash over the infamous "homeless" comments, leaving Jo-Ellen caught in the crossfire. Meanwhile, Alicia fights for her stake in Pizza Mamma, and Rulla is a total no-show for both events.

Baking Segment: Finally, we sweeten up the drama with a batch of salted caramel cookies and celebrate a major milestone: the very first official entry in the long-awaited Tiramisu Diaries!

• Welcome to the family, Stella and Arlo! Two new puppies means double the cute, but also double the mischief.
• Corbyn’s fridge has officially kicked the bucket. RIP to whatever leftovers were trapped inside.
• We briefly recapped the Summer House drama, celebrated Alex Cooper’s pregnancy news, and screamed because Harry Styles is finally heading back on tour. Dust off your boas!

The Valley

• The main takeaway this week? Danny is officially on the pod's collective block list. He is not our friend right now.
• We have to ask... is Brittany starting to move just like Jax? Or is she playing 4D chess and thinking ahead like Mother Hubbard?

Real Housewives of Rhode Island

• Kelsey and her man broke up, but he is somehow still paying for her entire life.
• We went to Rulla’s dinner party, where Brian completely lost his marbles. Seems to us like he's hiding something.
• Kelsey and Rosie’s fragile truce lasted about five minutes. They are officially on the brink of an all-out brawl again.

Sunday Funday

• We wrapped up the week with an epic ice cream sundae bar with every topping imaginable. The biggest shocker of the night? Uncovering which of the ladies doesn't like hot fudge. (Expose her!)

This week’s podcast featured Clara fighting plaque with vibes alone, Amber defending room-temperature sodas like a founding father, and Corbyn & Clara getting absolutely humbled by stomach warfare.

• On The Valley: marriages were shaky, Schwartz was awkwardly flirting, and Lala & Michelle gave the episode its emotional damage segment.
• On RHORI: the Newport trip turned into passive-aggressive summer camp ,Jo-Ellen and Alicia had one of the episode’s most emotional moments, opening up about difficult childhood experiences and bonding over personal family trauma , and Jo-Ellen received alleged video evidence of Rulla’s husband Brian with another woman, reigniting the affair rumors and setting up major fallout for next week

• Dessert of the week: tiramisu cake — the only layered thing not falling apart emotionally.

Welcome back to Knead for Reality! Clara is joining us from Rhode Island fresh off her half marathon. This week, we talk:

• Devil Wears Prada 2 — cautiously excited but if Miranda isn’t terrifying, we riot.
• Fogo de Chão — meat sweats but make it luxurious. Zero regrets, minimal breathing.
• Book of Mormon — wildly inappropriate, wildly hilarious. Bless up.
• Amber’s cereal habits — concerning. Possibly criminal.

The Valley

• Jesse & Lacy opening scene — already exhausted.
• Janet & Jason — giving “we need to talk” energy 24/7.
• Michelle’s gymnastics — flexible queen, emotionally and physically.
• “We’re going to San Diego!” — pack your drama and SPF.

Real Housewives of RI

• Kelsey breakup? TBD but we’re seated.
• Doll tea party — nothing says normal like tiny furniture and big egos.
• Masquerade party — masks off, personalities revealed... mostly.

Our dessert this week? A summer favorite: ice cream!

Welcome back to Knead for Reality

• Life updates: book club, hiking, and somehow… run club people now
• Clara runs a half marathon next weekend
• Corbyn spotted on Summer House S4
• Leaked reunion audio = messy, we pressed play immediately

The Valley

• In-home salons + boats = chaotic combo
• Jesse’s boys’ night = cigars & unhinged energy
• Kristen & Luke date night = love… with a side of tension

RHORI

• Cheating scandal still clocked in
• Wedding rings = missing in action
• Polo match = rich chaos, zero self-awareness

The Bake

• Summer = citrus, poolside, main character energy
• Ingredients: zest, sugar, butter, flour, lemon juice, white chocolate chips
• Tip: use 2 lemons
• Taste: tangy, sweet, and gone in 5 seconds

• Clara is BACK and balance has been restored. Also… Corbyn’s dad knows Amber?? Small world. Donuts were discussed, obviously.
• The Valley: Produced but still entertaining. Husbands in the drama (??), Brittany’s boob job era, and Brandon already waving red flags. Y2K party delivered: tequila Kristen, the girls + the gays. Michelle thriving at The Abbey, and hungover In-N-Out saves the day. Zack is not impressed with Brandon — same.
• RHORI: More drama off-screen than on — lawsuits, alleged mistresses, escort rumors. On-screen = beach hangs, biking, and subtle tension. Liz + Kelsey boat clean-up could go friendship or feud.
• Baking: Red velvet cupcakes, no sifting (lazy queens), didn’t forget the butter (growth), and somehow… actually moist and good.

Weekly recap with Coachella chaos, Amber nearly passing out, and Clara fully thriving in LA. We talk hot dwarfs, foot jobs, and are 1 year old birthday parties worth it? 

• The Valley check-in with more tension, messy dynamics, and cracks getting harder to ignore
