Episodes
On The Real Housewives of Miami, Guerdy may have decorated for Halloween, but Julia is the resident ghoul-ia. Lisa’s dad has been buried, but her daddy issues remain very much above ground. Kiki is solid gold, Stephanie insists she’s not a gold digger, and Alexia is sleeping with trash. Time to gag on a diaper, crawl into bed with a migraine/Todd, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!
On The Real Housewives of Miami, Preston gracefully sets boundaries, and Larsa tramples all over them. Guerdy investigates reconstructive options for her body, while Alexia explores every destructive relationship option with Todd. And it seems maybe Jody got neck deep in “AC” in Milan? Time to put on some satin pants with no undies, take a shot of sake from a small wooden box, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!
The Real Housewives of Miami supersized every second of their supersized premiere! Julia & Martina are new parents! Larsa & Marcus are over. And Alexia & Todd are divorcing… but are also still married, and also secretly dating? Soooo… yeah. Jody’s birthday party tried to tell us “The Meat Made Me Do It,” but Ramona & Margee think the drama might be more a result of daddy issues, dated belief systems, with a side of ...
It’s only our second ever GUEST-PISODE!! Ramona’s partner in marriage, parenthood, and (most importantly?) her partner in Bravo TV watching, JOSH HIGGINS, joins us to talk through part two of the Summer House reunion! There is consensus that - at least through a therapy-informed lens - Carl rules, Kyle’s a fool, Jesse’s a tool, and Craig is the worst. Also, could the time be coming for Amanda to take a page from Paige’s book and ve...

The Summer House Reunion gets underway with a Bed Bug set and a broken relationships theme. Ciara & West find some healing. Jesse & Lexi are hopeless. And Paige pulls back the curtain on Craig. Imrul ruled for showing up accountable, thoughtful, and vulnerable - we’d love to see him back next season, but those very character traits may disqualify him from reality tv. Time to put on some pastels & poorly-blended blush an...
On Summer House, it's finally over for Lexi & Jesse and the aftermath rattles the Freedom Dinner, where Gabby emerges as MVP of the whole episode! The Scary Party gives us Ciara perfectly skewering the finance bro population, the Bed Bugs confirming everything invaluable about female friendship, and an elders gathering of Lindsay, Kyle and Danielle (ugh.) where they consider what their next chapters might look like. Time to abs...
Jesse’s 9 o’clock manicure is the straw that breaks the camel’s back, so – both true to form - Lexi ends it, then Jesse lies about it. Classic. Lindsay takes to Instagram to try to ruin Carl but just comes off like a fool at her Freedom Dinner. Amanda’s bikinis-for-big-bubbies has a preview party, Imrul rode a motorcycle, and Jesse & West’s room (unsurprisingly) stinks like a gym. Time to take down a Dunkin’ Donut, dump your su...
On Summer House, Kyle’s sperm gets certified “dope,” while Jesse IS a certified dope. West is briefly sympathetic, until he Febrezes his clothes. Lindsay is somehow too much while also giving nothing? And Ciara remains a goddess among nitwits. Time to stuff a Kraft single into an olive, rest an injured hand on a pack of frozen chicken, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!
Between spells of general partying at the Summer House, we got a real clear look at Jesse Solomon party pooping and generally failing. Meanwhile, Kyle & Schwartz kvetch about being old-dads-to-be. And the girls (except Lindsay) were beacons of boundaries and the exemplification of self-esteem. Time to cook up some eggs with a side of stop-talking-sh*t-about-Lexi and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!
The Valley was too dark, so we took a detour to Summer House! The boys served up a heaping helping of arrested development, immaturity, and unwarranted Imrul ill-will. And the girls created a landfill crisis but looked real pretty in their costumes as they did it, so… Speaking of costumes, Tom Schwartz may have dressed up like an angel, but his Dark Eeyore energy shined right through! West & Jesse are Beavis & Butthead IRL....
The final installment of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion brought us The Victim Olympics! And, of course, everyone thinks they won. Kyle boo hoos about marriage, Sutton gets prickly about Ocean Spray, and Erika demonstrates that she is a substance colder than ice. Time to grab a couple bites of a corn dog, please do call your friends/frenemies WHILE they’re in the thick of it, and then tune into this week’s A Therapeuti...
In the second installment of the RHOBH reunion, not even Kyle’s amethyst can stand her BS anymore! Kyle is “I know you are but what am I” incarnate, and it is boring and exhausting and entirely on brand. We learned that “You live on a main road in Bel Air” is a sick burn if you’re ultra rich, and that Jennifer Tilly herself is the most important piece of American jewelry! Time to shoot a quick text to PK, grab an emotional support ...
The RHOBH reunion got underway on April Fools’ Day and the women sure delivered foolishness. Seated right next to Andy were Kyle’s signature tendrils and defensiveness. And filling out the couches were Sutton’s projecting, Dorit’s denial, Erika’s narcissism, Boz’s exasperation, and Garcelle’s resignation. Time to charge your crystals in the sun and call on a producer to “roll the tape” on this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!
On the RHOBH finale, we go to Saint Lucia for Carnival, but Sutton makes it a whole circus. Everyone, incomprehensibly, fights for/about Kyle’s friendship. And Kathy ices her pits, then pisses her pants, and why is she still on this show?! Time to put on your travel jewelry, get some Oreos from Grandma Garcelle’s pocket, and settle in for this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!
RHOBH delivered a real Team Nobody episode this week! It was a Masterclass in projection through picking fights, being defensive, and delivering/accepting/rejecting apologies. Kyle’s still annoying, Kathy’s no longer needed, and Sutton was polarizing as ever and straight up ice cold when she dismissed Garcelle & brushed off Jennifer Tilly. Time to toss your clip-ins on the couch, order up some Watermelon Carpaccio (y tho?), and...
On RHOBH, we learn Kyle has laid out some ridiculous rules – speak freely of Mau kissing a young babe, but say nothing about Morgan Wade! While Sutton is fine to abide, we’re with Garcelle – this is weird and annoying! Classic Kyle. Meanwhile, Lael is the most centered & mature teen we’ve ever seen, St. Lucia is as gorgeous as the gal she’s named after, and ohmygod Dorit hire a lawyer! Time to put on a Jagger-approved “mature” ...
Sutton’s sustainability fashions were fine. Erika’s new décor is also fine. Everything was just fine. This episode of RHOBH was a study in anti-climactic outcomes, and that was fine by us! Time to coif your tendrils, chug a vodka grapefruit on a nauseous tummy, and tune into this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!
Sutton brings her pocketbook to a principles fight and comes out looking real gross. But not to be out-grossed, Kyle whines to her Therapist/Life Coach about Mauricio living his best life while poor Kyle is left behind to… oh wait, Kyle did it first! She’s fine! Nothing is the matter! She just wants her Morgan, and to eat her Mauricio, too!
Meanwhile, Jennifer Tilly rules, F...
