EP 66: Not Guilty, Not a Virgin, And [Not] Watching AJLT
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week’s episode is an unhinged Bravo-fueled fever dream—in the best way. We’re recapping the RHOM premiere, Rachel Zoe stepping into the RHOBH ring, and Tom Girardi getting 7 years behind bars (finally). Over in The Valley, we unpack the mess: trying to make Danny an alcoholic?? Jax’s return from rehab, Kristen’s baby reveal, and the very real question—who's the number one guy in the group?
On Love Hotel, Luann reigns supreme, and in 90 Day Fiancé: The Hunt for Love, we’re kind of... into Colty?! Plus Usman, Rob the “actor,” Elise’s love of anal (?!), and the never-gonna-happen saga of Tim & Jennifer.
We hit AJLT chaos: SJP doesn’t even watch it (makes sense), Aiden licking his hand, Harry peeing himself, and Charlotte’s rage spiral. Next Gen NYC gets a nod, BravoCon hype is building, and Karen Read is NOT guilty!
Also: Romeo Beckham’s breakup, Brooklyn ghosting the fam, Summer House reunion drama, Paige possibly out, and Nick Viall hosting SLOMW’s reunion—yep, with whispers of Jessi and Jordan splitting.
And in the chaotic corner: Chris Smith is in love with AI, someone asked why my name isn’t Riah (girl WHAT?), virgins + vaginismus, Titan sub = still boring, Astroworld numbers don’t add up, and Justin Baldoni’s legal mess may be dismissed, but he’s still got Blake & Taylor’s texts?!
Plus: Love Island didn’t call me. Rude.
