We recorded this episode in full Bravocon-hangover mode, still half-laughing, half-shocked at what actually went down on Sunday night. From accidentally spending 45 minutes waiting for Craig Conover to emerge from a State Farm shoot, to Captain Carey literally hopping into our Uber like the world’s friendliest sea captain, to Luann casually adjusting boobs in a hotel bar — this night deserves its own franchise.

We get into the unexpected softness of Joe Bradley (the hype-man we never knew we needed), why West and Kyle continue to be the nicest humans on Bravo, Bronwyn’s rising queen status, Emmy flipping a necklace mid-bar, Lake guessing ages, and Zach Wickham running the social Olympics to make sure everyone has a good time.

Plus: Stassi stepping into reunion-host mode, the internet spiraling over Whitney’s Dancing With the Stars exit, and the messy Wendy & Eddie fraud headlines that dropped mid-week.
