She's Speaking with Emily Hanks

They really rushed through this reunion. The only topic that got any significant air time was the Shep Taylor relationship. Every other dynamic was given a bit of a crescendo followed by a quick "I want to move on" from Andy.

I guess the reunion vibes are on-brand with the rest of the season. I tried to extract some interesting morsels from this episode but there wasn't much to work with here!

Whitney's track record for delivering "vital" information is worse than any other housewife on any other franchise. She creates pure chaos but genuinely thinks she's doing something good for the group as a whole. It's marvelous to watch if you can appreciate how utterly clueless she is.

I found this episode to be hysterical, which is evident in the fits of laughter throughout the entire latter half of the recap! Lisa gives such good emotional meltdowns, and she delivered so many incredible one-liners! I know the cast probably hated this experience, but I LOVED watching it!

Pia and I had a grand old time recapping Part 1 of the BH reunion. As I've been editing and prepping the episode, I've since realized that the audience might be angrier than we are about some things... are these women rubbing off on us?? Are we jaded? Too savage? I now fear the response this episode may receive...

Regardless we had a blast and laughed a lot. I found out Pia hasn't watched the first 4 seasons of Potomac, so I dragged her for that for about 10 minutes. We discussed (again) my updated PuppyGate theory (RINNA FULLY LEAKED THE STORY AND FRAMED LVP!), and we did a great Dramatic Millenial bit that I hope you enjoy as much as we did!

Buckle up for Part 2!

Kendrick and I spent the first 45 minutes basically discussing who we want to have sex with on House of the Dragons. We definitely dive into a bit of story, but it's mainly about our love of Fabien Frankel (Ser Criston) and how Matt Smith is only hot when he's playing Daemon (according to my loins).

Next, we go full recap mode on Potomac. Listen... Mia is officially the scammer of this cast. Every franchise needs one! But nothing about anything adds up with her, ok? We break down the seemingly "dumb" moves Ashley appears to be making in her separation from Michael and how it all might be strategy in the end.

It's good to be back with the ladies of Potomac AND it's good to be back with my Kendrick!!

Taylor took what could have been a moment to read Shep for the terrible way he treated her but instead took that opportunity to call women whores and slut shame him. Her closed-mindedness was showing...

In this recap, I defend Shep, Austen, and Madison. I don't like that and I'm sure most of you won't either, but that's the weird reality that I've found myself in this season of Southern Charm. I don't think I will cover this show anymore after this because it's just so problematic and polarizing, and I would rather go back to vintage VPR seasons where we can all collectively agree on who is terrible! :)

Episode 2 gave me so much more hope for this season! And honestly, that was mainly thanks to Whitney. When Meredith couldn't fully bring it during their charcuterie scene, Whitney took it to the finish line and came right out and said Lisa slept with a wealthy Utah man in exchange for his investment. Later Whitney gave us REALNESS with that breakdown over her suppressed childhood memories! She also did a pretty great job keeping the group together for the Shaman activities, or as Meredith would call them "Sha-MAHn" activities.

The teaser for next week looks FAB so I am now excited to keep this RHOSLC recap journey going!

This week I am joined by Tom Hamlett, one half of Dumpster Dive: A Reality TV Deep Dive. His adorable sister Cix is the other half! He brought such a fresh, new energy to the pod! We went on some fun tangents, and his insights into Heather were especially spot-on and DEEP! He will definitely be back if he's up for it! Check out his show if you aren't already an avid listener:

We deserved that season finale, didn't we? Never did I ever think that we would get something so fantastic! But thanks to Garcelle picking up on Rinna and Erika's game we got EVERYTHING we needed from that final episode.

Pia and I gave some insight on members-only clubs and why it's not at all shocking that there isn't any footage of Kathy's fit inside the venue. We also discuss how bizarre it is that the DJ and manager would treat this group of VIPs so seemingly terrible. We mock and ridicule Rinna for her embarrassingly bad acting and total lack of improv skills, and I shadily point out Erika's rough appearance at that final party.

We wrap up this week's episode with our thoughts on the reunion looks, and of course, we have nothing good to say because HELLO! I did announce that I am going to be offering YouTube Memberships with fun perks to those who are interested in supporting the show and collaborating on bonus content ideas! They will be live soon!

I can't come up with a clever title because this episode wasn't really that exciting. What really happened other than setting us up for the season ahead? Meredith is mad at Lisa. Lisa is sorry. Jen is "innocent". Heather and Whitney are the best of friends. Got it. Now let the drama unfold.

As soon as Paige suggested Craig do a seating chart to "control the chaos" and Craig refused saying "it'll be fine"... we knew it wouldn't be fine. If it truly was just an oversight and Craig didn't intentionally leave Naomie off the main table, then OF ALL PEOPLE FOR IT TO COINCIDENTALLY HAPPEN TO!

I did my best to navigate through that choppy finale party. It was tough to know what was really going on because I could tell they cut a lot out.

I'll tell you what scene was edited together brilliantly tho... the Shep and Taylor faux proposal moment! Oh my god those music cues could not have been more perfect!

I really can't believe we have one more episode to endure before we get to the reunion, BUT next week is looking like the kind of content we have been asking for all season. Kyle is going to call out Rinna and Erika for the obvious tactical takedown of Kathy, and we are here for that!

Pia and I discuss how much Rinna underestimated Kathy's level of accountability and how that miscalculation led to one of the most embarrassing scenes in housewives history. I personally hated that they wasted airtime with Sutton and Erika eating their Popeye's because it was truly pointless and only made Sutton look weak.

Since we must suffer through one more episode, I'm happy that it's at least going to be more interesting than the usual BH antics. Erika and Rinna seem to be out on a limb all alone with their evil plotting...
