Deepti, Haley and Sarah welcome everyone back to PCP where they chat about their latest thoughts on Brynn (mostly switched to positive), Erin (complicated), Jenna (LOVE), Jessel (not sure WHAT is going on with her), Sai (don't get it still) and Ubah (her hot sauce better be SUPER HOT, Deepti is going to buy some to taste test). 

Crappie Lake - oh dear lordy lord. It's just...not good.

Haley and Sarah are VERY into Below Deck and Project Runway and they talk about all the latest with Christian Siriano's hairdo and how great the All Stars are this season and then about the horrid turn of events on Below Deck.

Deepti seems to have JUST accepted Taylor Swift into her life a week ago and she can't help but keep bringing her up throughout the episode (Sorry Not Sorry).

Deepti is thrilled to have Sarah  back on the podcast to share all her thoughts on the RHONY REBOOT!!! They discuss all the new cast members, of course ESPECIALLY their thoughts on Jenna Lyons. They talk about what is and is not working for them so far. While they will give it a chance, it's not *grabbing* them right now. Jessel's marriage is NOT being portrayed the greatest, Jenna's awkardness is oddly a pleasure to observe, what's so great about Sai??, Erin gave $400 to the "Stop the Steal" campaign so whatevs on her and Brynn wants to be set up with SHEP from Southern Charm ewww. Ubah...fine in ep 1 but not so entertaining in ep 2...jury's still out on her.

AND THEN...there's Crappie Lake. They find Sonja and Lu more depressing than the town they're in for a few weeks. What IS this non-funny show doing on our screens?? 

What an episode! Dina and Haley join Deepti to discuss the first season of Bravo's show Dancing Queens about amateur LATIN (not to be confused with AMERICAN RHYTHM!) ballroom dancers doing competitions with their professional coaches. OH what a doozy. Leonie stuns and sizzles, Sabrina is a PILL (albeit an amazing dancer) wow wow wow!, Colette is clearly on the man prowl, SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT POOJA AND HER INDIAN FAMILY, Gaelle is a stunner and made everyone laugh with her blatant and obvious pot-stirring; and finally............Donie - oh boy...Deepti, Dina and Haley had many many thoughts on Donie. 

Because it's been a month since Deepti has had an episode, there was just a LOT of pop culture to catch up on! Throughout the episode, the ladies discuss Kyle and Mauricio's marital woes; Dina shares her thoughts on the first episode of Crappie Lake with Sonja Morgan and The Countess Luann; Dina talks about how terrible RHOC  and RHOA are this season; Deepti and Dina lose their minds laughing over how BAD the second season of And Just Like That on HBO is (and how everyone needs to listen to Danny Pellegrino's podcast recaps!); Haley says multiple times how amazing Below Deck Sailing Yacht is and that led into a discussion on Heather Gay and how bad RHOSLC has become; they talk at length about Jenna Lyons being on the RHONY reboot....which somehow morphed into a discussion of RHONY S8 Bethenny and Carole being bullies. AND FINALLY.....Dina educates Deepti and Haley on the latest and greatest issues happening on THE KARDASHIANS.  

Summer House discussion around ~1hr 30min 30 sec

Deepti, Haley and Larkyn are back together to talk about the final reunion installment of VPR and #Scandoval. More analysis on Rachel's mental state and crazy reunion performance and last 5 minutes; Sandoval's egomaniacal cult leader-like qualities; Katie chatter; Lala - both loving her AND remarking on her hypocrisy, remembering that even though James is hilarious right NOW, he's been a really toxic abusive bad guy; Ariana doing well with her commercials and with the reunion overall; Schwartz - ugh what to make of him?; LVP - UGH UGH UGH overall; thoughts on the future of VPR and Deepti's thoughts that this camaraderie is only going to last so long; and so much more!

And then some final thoughts on the Summer House season and reunion. This group of people needs to be shaken up. Paige is inCORRIGIBLE; Mya needs to GO; Ciara - ugh big huge whatevs; Carl - proud of his growth; complicated thoughts on both Kyle and Lindsay; and Danielle - wow wow wow...no remorse for acting like a lunatic. 

Deepti welcomes Leila back to the podcast! Deepti gets inside of Leila's head to see where she's at with all the latest VPR news. They discuss the whether Lala's hypocrisy exists/matters; Schwartz being part Swamp-Boy/part Conniving Jerk; Rachel's entire state of mind the whole season and especially currently; more of course of how much Sandy sucks; whether Ariana has been totally truthful on camera about her rlshp with Sandy; if LVP is finally getting some comeuppance; whether James is intentionally hilarious or just passively funny in a cringey way; their current feelings on Katie...and much more.

Thrown in the episode are some  RHUGHT S3 performance thoughts on Heather and Whitney from RHOSLC + Giselle and Candiace from RHOP + Porsha from RHOA + Leah from RHONY. 

Summer House convo starts ~ 1h 41min mark

THE VPR FINALE WAS INSANE!!!!!!! Deepti, Haley and Larkyn talk fake Sandoval tears and heaving (straight up hilarious at points), how Rachel's crying pattern this whole season has been only when she cries about something regarding HERSELF, what exactly Rachel and Sandoval PLANNED OUT and did they NOT get their lying timeline straight??, why Deepti was secretly ROOTING for stupid Schwartz at times in the finale (but he flubbed it all and remained a lying liar who lies), whether Scheana MAY have known something happened way beforehand with Sandoval and Rachel, Deepti/Haley/Larkyn all theorize about what the NEW TEA will be that's supposedly (according to a head producer) going to be revealed at the reunion, how diddly darn AMAAZING James' speakerphone convo with Rachel was, how sad/depressing/unhinged/insane the WHOLE scene was with Sandoval at Rachel's apt, how radiant Ariana looked the whole episode and how INCREDIBLE Scheana's final scene was with Sandoval. 

And then there was the penultimate episode of Summer House. Larkyn and Haley are way more into Summer House at this point than Deepti is. WHEW, Deepti's drained from the Danielle/Lindsay/Carl of it all. Nonetheless, they discuss whether Lindsay and Carl will end up getting a wedding special on Bravo, that Paige is just so darn MEAN (but funny, ugh she really IS funny) in general, that Carl needs to get more of the share of "blame" compared to Lindsay for all the stuff that's gone down this season and how Danielle just has truly lost it. Also, seriously what is WRONG with everyone that they despise Lindsay and Carl THIS MUCH!??!?! 

Deepti very briefly discusses her super obsession with the scripted show Better Things and Deepti/Haley/Larkyn all discuss why they need to start watching the new Bravo show DANCING QUEENS. 

Summer House convo starts ~1hr 9 min mark

VPR ep 14 was one of the CRAZIEST EPISODES that Deepti, Haley and Larkyn have *ever* seen. Rachel was the most unhinged she has EVER been, popping up constantly to poke and prod at Ariana and Katie, it was absolutely bonkers. Then Sandoval comes in and pokes more on Rachel's behalf, even telling Katie's MOM to STFU (!!!!!!!!!!!). Of course Schwartz remains a putz the whole episode. The whole thing was b-a-n-a-n-a-s. Deepti/Haley/Larkyn try to figure out WHY Ariana DID stay with Sandy for so long. And also why we should all give Katie some grace these days for seeing the light, even though she wasn't necessarily the most pleasant person in the past.

Summer House was also a DOOZY. WHAT A WEEK FOR BRAVO. Danielle loses her freaking MIND when Lindsay and Carl offish get engaged and she hysterically bawls the whole episode...including AT THE ENGAGEMENT PARTY. Going up to every guest asking when they found out about the engagement b/c she only JUST found out. Deepti and Haley do talk about why they have sympathy for Danielle but also...they still can't help but wonder WTF is with all the hatred for Lindsay.

Deepti welcomes dear friends Jessica (comedian/writer) & Michelle (psychologist) to the podcast to discuss all things JEWISH MATCHMAKING, the new Netflix dating show from the makers of Indian Matchmaking!

Some highlights: Michelle MAY OR MAY NOT have a crush on Ori (yes...ORI!), Stuart won some viewers' hearts, Harmonie would have a VERY hard time having to do shomer negiah, loads of rules in religion - peaceful or overbearing?, Daniel's insane wallet theft story was hilariously suspicious, Michelle has a LOT OF OPINIONS about mozarrella sticks....and of course...Aleeza the matchmaker is simply wonderful.

Neelam is BACK!! Deepti and Neelam discuss everything Season 3 Indian Matchmaking. Deepti is convinced Sima Auntie can do better at her job, while Neelam cuts her more slack. But they both agree...IMM overall needs to do better!!! 

They discuss their faves (spoiler alert: it's Priya and Pavneet) and of course the duds (you'll have to listen to find out who they are). Also analyzed: who is extra thirsty and just wants to be on tv, who should NOT be on tv, why on earth Sima Auntie chooses to set up certain people together...and also the difference between Indian Matchmaking on Netflix and Jewish Matchmaking on Netflix. 

Indian Matchmaking Season 1 PCP episodes #32 & #33 (6/22/2020 & 6/23/2020)
Indian Matchmaking Season 2 PCP episode #134 (8/16/2022)

Summer House Discussion ~1hr 29 min mark

Deepti, Haley and Larkyn are back to talk all things Scandoval and Danielle/Lindsay/Carl with Summer House! 

They briefly chat about how great the new Netflix show Jewish Matchmaking is (new PCP episode on JMM will be up this week!) and how compared to Sima Auntie on Indian Matchmaking, the Jewish Matchmaker is a WHIZ! 

Larkyn decided everyone is going to need an addiction intervention for Vanderpump Rules when the season finally ends b/c it's still SO good and just keeps getting better. They discuss how it can be that Ariana did NOT know about the affair; what is HAPPENING in Raquel's head and loads of thoughts on her pageant life; why Katie does not deserve THAT much ire anymore; how Lala TOTALLY redeemed herself in the last couple episodes; that James Kennedy is SO HYSTERICAL and Deepti thinks he deserves an Emmy for his humor (but Deepti IS NOT condoning any past problematic behavior!); and of course what would an episode of PCP be without talking at length about how HORRIBLE both Toms are. 

On Summer House, it is just very difficult/compelling to watch Danielle LOSE HER MIND over the Carl & Lindsay of it all. The way she is handling it has entered crazy land, despite the fact that she "deserves" to feel hurt by Lindsay.  Kory likes garbage right wingers on social media - YUCK. And also, Lindsay and Carl should not invite most of the cast to their wedding b/c they are just NOT NICE to them!
