Fresh off Day 1 at BravoCon, Brandon & Rachel are recording in the same room (chaos!) and spilling everything: airport run-ins with Carl Radke, Erin Lichy, and Brooks Marks; first impressions (mega-church conference energy, shaky mics, $$$ cocktails); and why streaming the panels has “peacockified” the vibes. We break down The Valley panel tea (Lala & Schwartz as full-timers, Nia’s “infested” apology, Kristen’s rumored Halloween meltdown), Andy & Jeff Lewis’ spikiest moments, and Meredith Marks DJ’ing at 9:30am. Then a deep dive on RHOSLC: the yacht fight aftermath, the infamous plane incident (who sat where, why nobody filmed, and what probably happened), Whitney vs. Lisa theories, and Mary’s Greek-chorus truth bombs. Plus: Vegas highs/lows, $25 cucumber gin sadness, Golden Nugget wins (sort of), and the best Korean BBQ of our lives. We’ll be at Watch What Happens Live tapings tomorrow—stay tuned.
