We're back after the holidays, and Bravo is finally back on our screens, so it’s time to get messy. This week, we dive into Southern Charm: why everyone on Bravo suddenly wants to be a DJ, Sally and Venita hit peak awkward, Whitney’s Erewhon Veteran hat steals the scene, and Craig and Austen’s toxic dynamic takes over (again). We wrap with predictions for the rest of the season—and what the show needs to fix if it wants to survive this era. Skip the Chick-fil-A dinner in a dress shirt and join us.

This week, we chat about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Southern Charm. As a RHOBH newbie, Daisy gets a deep dive into Dorit and PK’s messy divorce, Sutton’s divorce settlement, Boz being the only competent adult in the room, and the new Housewife grifter we absolutely do not trust.

Over on Southern Charm, Venita is involved in more messy gossip (yes, that Molly storyline), Sally continues her desperate Craig campaign, and we question why production is obsessed with phone calls, and whether Southern Charm is starting to edge into its creepy era.

In this episode, we're not convinced with the latest episode of Vanderpump Rules and Marcus’s conveniently timed tears, we unpack Fraser from Below Deck's “vape-induced” heart attack, and the Summer House trailer. Over in Salt Lake City, we're loving the trip to Greece so far, and in Southern Charm we're over Venita's pot-stirring and Salley’s pick-me energy, surprised by Shep's occasional flashes of emotional intelligence, and why Craig should never drink again.

We're back onto our normally scheduled programme! This week we kick off with a little pre-Charm gossip: Whitney from SLOMW heads to Chicago, Taylor Ann & Salley have beef, and do we love I Love LA? Then it’s straight into Southern Charm, where we we officially christen Shep the “wastrel sheep,” Austen and Madison somehow become BFFs and is Rodrigo an actual interior designer?

Over in LA, we take onVPR v2.0 and the wasted opportunity of a Vanderpump show in Vegas, and quickly chat about the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiere, and an underwhelming episode of Real Housewives of Salt Lake CIty (apart from Whitney outing her husband’s MLM past).

We're a little early this week as release a special episode. This week, Daisy finally catches up on Below Deck Med, we build a time machine so we can charter a yacht with Kate and Chef Ben, and we unpack the full Love-Island-ification of the crew (must every night end in a love triangle?!). Then it’s straight to Southern Charm: Molly leans into her manic-pixie-dream-girl era, Salley continues to suck the oxygen out of every room in Charleston, and we ask the big question — could Craig and Kathryn ever have actually gone the distance?

Jess and Daisy finally hit record on the conversations they've been having in their voice notes for years — and naturally, it all kicks off with Bravo. From Summer House to Salt Lake City and the unhinged glory of Mormon Wives (WILL MOMTOK SURVIVE US?!), we dive straight into the drama. We break down why Bravo is the ultimate form of escapism, why Southern Charm has a problems dealing with Craig's addiction, Venita’s finally got a storyline, is Molly a hoarder, and whether Shep will ever grow up (spoiler: no). Come spiral with us!
