August 22, 2026 EP 90: Taylor Swift Wedding, McBee Prison, and Housewife Divorces
Send us Fan Mail
This episode is a full-on reality TV spiral, and we’re spending A LOT of time in The Valley, McBee Dynasty, and House of Stassi.

First up, The Valley — Jax may have cameras following him again after being spotted canoodling with his former publicist in Mexico, Danny is officially entering his demon era, Brittany gets a mommy makeover, Zack has an emotional breakdown, and somehow the cast is headed on ANOTHER trip with babies in tow. We’re talking Luke actually supporting Kristen, Danny’s drinking, the cast’s questionable choices, and that absolutely wild skinny-dipping scene.

Then it’s time for McBee Dynasty Season 3. Steven Sr.’s trial and verdict, Steven Jr. and Allie moving at LIGHTNING speed, the infamous dream-wife list, the Stagecoach text rampage, Cole and Kacie FINALLY getting engaged, and Ali and Jesse struggling to communicate while living separately. Plus, the question nobody can stop asking: why are men willing to have babies together but suddenly terrified of marriage?
And we’re getting into House of Stassi — the latest Vanderpump Rules-adjacent chaos, Stassi’s return to reality TV, the drama, the relationships, and whether this new chapter is giving us the reality TV comeback we’ve been waiting for.

Plus: Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Taylor Swift wedding updates, celebrity breakups, toxic love stories, and a life update from Raya on the World Cup, the content rat race, being called “intense,” mental health, and upcoming watch parties and events.
