Heidi Anderson takes the mic and pulls me into a full BravoCon debrief, and nothing is off the table. Think of this as a backstage pass meets a therapy session for Bravo obsessives.

We get into the frenzy, the fandom, the unspoken rules of the Bravoverse, and what actually happens when you drop a therapist into the middle of thousands of people who’ve also memorised every feud since 2006.

Heidi gets me talking about the moments that made me laugh, the ones that made me pause, and the ones that reminded me why Bravo isn’t just entertainment - it’s a living case study in human behaviour. From the Bravolebs who surprised me to the crowd dynamics that said more than any panel ever could, we unpack why reality TV hooks us, holds us and sometimes even helps us understand ourselves.

It’s fast, fun, a little unhinged, and very Pop Therapy.

In the first BRAVOCON episode since my return, Cat (@worm_with_a_mustache) and I dive into the absolute whirlwind that was BravoCon. We unpack the intensity of the weekend, the standout moments from CreatorCon (hosted by The Bravo Docket and Podcast Nation) and our own shifting feelings about the Housewives universe.

We cover the ethics of sharing personal stories and children on reality TV, the justice system’s inconsistent treatment of reality stars, and what the future of Bravo might look like as more controversies surface.

If you love reality TV but also enjoy the psychology, the power plays, and the human cost behind it all, this episode is it.

In this week’s episode of Pop Therapy, I’m joined bymy friend Dana Regan, a.k.a. The Bravo Investigator, for afull-blown Housewives debrief. We dive into the brand-new Real Housewives of London from the accents, alliances and the early villains emerging from the fog.

Then we head to the icy slopes of Salt Lake City, unpacking the Todd and Muzzie of it all and what’s really going on beneath that chaos. Over in Miami, we ask the big question - is Julia even remotely redeemable after this season’s revelations? And because we can’t help ourselves, there’s a cheeky sprinkle of 90 Day Fiancé drama to round things out.

Follow Dana on Instagram at @thebravoinvestigator,listen to her podcast The Bravo Investigator, and support her on Patreon for even deeper dives into the Bravosphere.
