Bethenny dropped a bombshell: and Sarah had some thoughts. After listening to both Bethenny's Reality Wreckoning and Rachel Leviss surprise drops, Sarah mentions it all, in unpacking what's discussed: the similarities and differences between Sandoval's interview with Howie Mandel and Rachel/Raquel's choice to BStrong, the ways Ariana needed to be held more accountable in both Bethenny and Rachel's eyes than Sandoval (and the ways gender politics played into both their argument and the result), how Andy factored in to Bethenny's through-line of complicit behavior, and an interest in exposing 'performative friendship' as the exact opposite (at least for people who've watched more than the reunion eps, ahem ahem). This is a crisis, so BStrong - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 443!

This Is a Crisis: Bethenny and Rachel's Reality Reckoning

Andy&#39;s Girls with Sarah Galli is a semiweekly podcast that dives deep into the drama on and off Bravo TV. A mix of C-SPAN and &#34;Iyanla Fix My Life,&#34; episodes focus on the psychology behind the Real Housewives franchise. Named a &#39;Certified Bravoholic&#39; by Bravo, Sarah is joined by rotating guest co-hosts, from Real Housewives themselves to prominent culture writers, comedians, and Bravoholics.

TV & Film

Sarah watches RHONJ and immediately reverts to child's pose (Namaste? Go Away). She realizes the tense energy from NJ has carried through IRL, and realizes the best way to cool down the heat is the very chill Sweet Baby Dyl, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They decamp to the cloffice, and immediately mention it all: escalating Bravoleb boundary-crossing seemingly without production or network intervention, and what that energy means for the future of Housewives/Bravo, casting wishes for a rebooted franchise (including Dylan’s probably-surprising cast pick), forced selective memory loss around last season’s reunion (and this season’s present social media), Dolores and Paulie’s tense conversation around marriage, and why RHONJ needs to watch “Kindergarten Cop.” Danielle walked on fashion week, and after that last scene, Sarah is ready to run - it’s Andy’s Girls, Episode 548!

Fear and Loathing in Franklin Lakes (with Dylan Hafer)

Summer, summer, summerrrtiiiiime. Sarah watches the Summer House reunion's grand finale (completely unacceptable it wasn't at least 17 eps), and runs to send production a jackhole of the day award for some of the narrative expressed. And, ya know, some good stuff. She mentions it all: a confoundingly consistent male gaze over women on Summer House (and VPR) that takes the majority-women audience for granted (#representationmatters when actually formulating the Qs asked, as well as what's edited), Kyle's inconsistent rage against Lindsay (a re-direct away from himself?), Amanda's openness about her struggles with anxiety and depression, a lack of depth around Lindsay that's more than afforded to Carl, Danielle, future YouTube viral sensation, and the problem with applying the Sandoval Scale on West. What would Jesse Solomon do? Say: it's Andy's Girls, Episode 547!

We Come to This Place for Magic: Part 2 of the Summer House Reunion

Sarah puts out the #writergirl bat call, after reading a thinly disguised anon quote from Carole about Andy in New York Magazine. Her dream team assembles on Zoom, bts tea in hand: Kate Aurthur (Variety's editor-at-large) and Louis Staples (writer and Housewives anthropologist). They stretch their writer/analysis muscles, tell Aviva's ghostwriter she's not needed, and deep dive into all things VPR, The Valley, and Summer House. It's a true mention it all: inside scoop following Kate's moderation of a Variety reality TV panel (with Alex Baskin, natch), which Pump Rules star made the surprising decision to decline a Variety interview (...), the impact of podcast pollution on VPR's ecosystem, why The Valley serves as a helpful form of birth control (and the joys of staying single vs. being married to Jax), confirmation from Kate about what really happened between Janet and Zack after finale cameras went down, and, of course, some feedback on Ciara and West. The Scandoval era may be winding down, but this convo is just getting started - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 546!

Something's Gotta Give (with Kate Aurthur and Louis Staples)

Sarah watches the OC trailer and immediately books an Uber Pool to the moon (what better location to dance with franchise stars, especially with BravoCon 2024's location confirmed as "your heart"). Deflated a bit by some of the stressors in Franklin Lakes, she takes a Via back to earth, thankful for a *two-hour* double episode with one of her absolute fave Bravoholic voices: writer Rafi D'Angelo (overpricedvodka.com). They settle in for a wild and winding agent-of-chaos two-parter ep: an alternate universe in which Alexis doesn't date Shan's ex, the instinctive right choice of casting OC newbie Katie, a possibly surprising choice of who should remain on RHONJ following a likely cast cull, the difficulty of relying on a “by any means necessary” ethos as Bravoholics (and at the polls), the importance of being able to tolerate discomfort, who is truly the impediment to plot on NJ, Jackie's choices with Tre and Jen vs. Marg and Meliss, and ya know, the joy of a TV screen that fills the room and spirit. And, yes, Bethenny v Chanel. Louis may not love this episode, maybe he just needs to take a different kind of walk - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 545, Part 2!
