Reality Bites ®

Hey y'all! Betsy's back from her second outing to The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version), and EP hops on the mic as well to talk all things RHOC, Morgan Wade's "Fall In Love with Me" music video featuring the one and only Kyle Richards, and  of course we couldnt help ourselves but to spend (perhaps maybe a little too much) time gush over the one and only king of our hearts, Taylor.

That said, if for some unfathomable reason you're not interested in hearing us shoot the shit and gush over Betsy's second foray to see Queen Taylor, hop on over to minute 31:00. 

And lastly, for a little housekeeping - you may have noticed in the title of this episode (or if you've already listened to our Below Deck episode) that I've officially come out of the closet. Guys, I'm... Lauren!! I explain the reason behind the pseudonym in the episode, but dont worry... I'm still just me!!

In this special edition, EP joins Betsy and I to discuss the events that transpired on Below Deck Down Under these last couple episodes. And while we dont usually cover the BD franchise, we thought it was incredibly important to talk about what transpired, how it was handled - both by the fellow crewmates and producers/production - as well as genreal workplace harassment (both in production and more). We also answer some listener questions about the incident and how situations like this might play out behind the scenes.

Also, just want to  give another *TRIGGER WARNING* as we discuss sexual assault and harassment, so if you dont feel comfortable for any reason listening through this one,  that's OK!!! Our RHOC recap will be up first thing in the morning, so feel free to hop on over there!

Betsy, EP and I are breaking down all things RHOC, and while it wasnt the most content-filled, explosive episode, it was a solid mid-season showing! And can we all just collectively agree that Ryan is an uber creep who's justy waiting to screw Jenn over and.... well... screw another woman???

With JJ on vocal rest this weekend, I (Betsy) roped in EP to hop on the mic and talk RHOC! And what an episode it was... the Tres Amigas are back and served to remind us just how much we missed this trio de loco buen tiempo! Cheers!

We're interrupting our regularly scheduled programming to bring y'all this very special Producer's Corner episode where EP joins us to talk about the WGA / SAG-AFTRA Strikes - what got us here, where it's going (or not), and - in the wake of Bethanny taking to her soapbox - how it affects Reality TV! We know it's a long one, so the episode breakdown is below... hope you enjoy!

In our first solo recap of the *New* RHONY, Betsy and I are talking episode 2, and our first trip to the Hamptons with the new ladies! And in classic RHONY Hamptons fashion, not everything went according to plan! 

We'll also be recording a Bonus Episode this week, where EP will join Betsy and I to chat about the SAG/WGA Strike and how Reality TV can or should be affected. And  our RHOC episode will drop later this week!

Betsy, EP and I were thrilled to take to the mic and chat about the sheer absurdity that is Sonja & LuAnne's The Simple Life: Schitt's Creek Edition... I mean... Crappie Lake! We also give a little RH Atlanta Update,  sprinkled in with a few musings on this season of Kardashians!

Also, just for a little housekeeping... Me (JJ), EP and a few friends are heading out West on the Oregon Trail this week (ie to Colorado and Wyoming lol)...  we're hoping to record the RHOC Montana episode from the neigboring Wyoming mountains, but, really, at the end of the day we'll be entirely at the behest of the cell/wifi service and will do our best to do what we can! Will keep y'all updated on our IG @reality.bites.podcast either way. Thanks y'all!
