You Broke Our Hearts, West... (Part 1) (Summer House Reunion Recap Pt. 1)

What's up Bros?! It is part 2 of our Summer House Reunion recap. This episode is all about Lindsay and Carl. We break it down from both sides, where they had their missteps, whether it was Lindsay weaponizing Carl's sobriety, or Carl fumbling about all season instead of having the tough conversation with Lindsay. I think we can all agree that they were never meant to be together, but as far as the reunion goes... It's pretty obvious that Andy had it in for Lindsay. Carl got a pass and was barely pressed for his mishandling of the entire situation. We dive into it all as we break down the conclusion of one of the best seasons of Summer House we have ever seen.

From pro ball to rock bottom, Steel Russell’s journey is one of resilience and transformation. After losing his career and battling addiction, Steel found his way to sobriety, becoming an exceptional father, a phenomenal private chef and the co-host of the BravBros Podcast. Tune in to hear this inspiring story of turning pain into purpose. Whats up Bros? This is a special crossover episode of a podcast, Pain With a Purpose, that Steel went on a couple of weeks ago. While we like to keep things light here most of the time, this was an important episode to share because of Steel's journey in recovery. If you ever wanted to know more about Steel's background, where he came from, how he got here today and what his journey with alcohol was like, this is the episode for you. If you do give it a listen, go and give Painwpurpose a follow on Instagram and a listen to some of their other episodes. Chris Woods, the host, is doing an amazing thing by sharing not just the sad and dark parts of addiction and alcoholism, but what those of us are able to do with the newfound respect for life and sobriety. Truer words never spoken, Pain With a Purpose. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What's up Bros? It is our conclusion of the Summer House Reunion part one. In this second half of the recap, we start out with Lindsay and Paige. They seemed to have connected over the summer but due to a falling out at BravoCon, (allegedly Carl overheard a conversation between Lindsay and a friend) and in this phone call there was supposedly a plan to sabotage a photoshoot that Paige had. Now the details of this are a bit murky and it would've been nice if Carl explained what he'd overheard, but the overall sentiment is that because of this, Paige is back to being guarded with Lindsay. Danielle jumps in and Paige reminds her that she was in fact the one behind the blind item about Craig getting kicked out of Kyle's wedding. Then its time for the main event, what's been the center point of the bravo verse for the past week. West and Ciara. Despite interviewing him a couple of months ago... Let's just say we have some thoughts about the whole thing that we think youse are going to want to hear... Introducing BravBros Members!

What's up Bros? It is part one of the Summer House reunion and part 1 of our recap! In this episode we dive deeper into the break up with Lindsay and Carl. What is also important to note is it seems like a lot of the people in the house have somewhat changed their tune with Lindsay since the last episode... The day of the break up is rehashed and we find out that Carl called the cameras and they had a fight 45 minutes before they started filming that scene. We also discuss Kyle and Carl's relationship and how they were able to come back together over the summer as well as their current status at Loverboy. Andy asks about Kyle's involvement in Lindsay and Carl's relationship and from what we saw, he did a fairly good job of staying out of it for the most part. On a brighter note, the house was pretty solid all summer. The ladies were getting along with one another and we saw the dudes get along as well. They certainly made Summer fun again. Come on back for part 2 of our recap where we dive into the West and Ciara of it all, as well as the tension between Lindsay, Paige and Danielle. Introducing BravBros Members!

Whats up Bros? It's the conclusion of the Valley Finale and this episode is focused around the "6 months after" time frame. Jesse and Michelle are getting a divorce, we see a very tough scene as they discuss how to navigate their finances, business, coparenting and housing situations. It seems as Michelle is fully checked out and Jesse is still not handling it very well despite them being in the process of a divorce. Both agree the most important thing is to be good parents to Isabella, and recent social media posts show them coexisting and coparenting successfully, so hopefully that continues for Isabella's sake. We check in with Brittany who is still reeling from everything but it seems that she has finally snapped out of whatever spell Jax had her under. She has moved out (way to go Jax, kick your wife and kid outta the house) she is currently living in an AirBnB and she is very aware of all the craziness that Jax has put her through. Jason checks on Jax and its the same sob story we've heard from him since his early days on VPR. He needs to get help, he's got something wrong with him etcetera etcetera... Its been his same defense forever, the only problem is he never actually gets help because he doesn't actually care. On the Bravo Extended Version on Peacock we find out that Doute and Luke went through a miscarriage back in October, which shame on Bravo for editing that out on the original if Doute was willing to share. But thoughts and prayers to them as they navigate that difficult road. The final scene is Jax and Brittany and she is a different woman now. She calls Jax out on all the B.S. that he's trying to set up as an out and Jax has LITERALLY DONE ZERO TO TRY TO CHANGE OR GET BETTER. He's checked out. He sucks. Team Brittany. Move on with your life and find a new man. Brittany makes the money, she's got the career, leave that POS in the dust. Introducing BravBros Members!

What's up Bros? This has been a stellar season of tv. Not many people predicted that this show would be as good as it was, but credit where credits due... It was fantastic. In this episode we discuss the first half of the finale centered around the bar opening. Jasmine and Zack recap the Big Bear trip and Zack is still upset with Janet and how she handled it. Jax and Brittany (mainly just Brittany) are putting the finishing touches on the bar to get it ready. Jesse and Michelle have a tough conversation that starts with Jesse wanting to talk to Jax, and ends with Michelle saying she doesn't feel the same way about Jesse anymore.. like, at all... Doute and Luke are finally back on our screens and Bravo producers need to do a much better job next season at making sure she is part of the crew. Things blow up at the bar as Zack confronts Janet, Janet continues to start fires and throw people under the bus (i.e. Jasmine) Jason turns into a 'tough guy' and Brittany "Just wants to have one night drama free". Its a nice theory on paper but this is Jax's bar there is no way the night is going to be drama free. Doute tries to smooth things over with Michelle and outs Janet for being the main cause for all the drama this season. In this first half, friendships are on the rocks, marriages are ending, and despite Jax giving a speech and saying he and Brittany have a bright future, the 6 months later tag and the proceeding fallout says otherwise...

What's up Bros? The hits keep coming for Jersey as we just found out the reunion for this season has been canceled followed by a potential major cast shake up. We take the first 20 minutes of this episode to discuss the overall state of Housewives and Bravo. A lot of these issues are across the board in the Housewives universe and hopefully Bravo has a plan moving forward to revamp where needed. Then its on to Jersey. Melissa and Jen Aydin finally sit down (again) to try to hash things out. Fessler confronts Marge and says she's not being herself. Marge is still coping with the passing of Jan, her ex husband, but is there more to her mood shift than that? Danielle is getting prepped for her Bougie Kids show at NY Fashion Week and invites all the gals over for a Bougie Brunch. Danielle ends up confronting both Jen Aydin and Teresa about them potentially setting her up last year with the rumors about Melissa's make out with another man. Fuda gets involved when she pops off at Teresa and while some of her reads are quite good, she has so stop asking Teresa what she's done and calling her a has-been... the other digs are funny, the has been stuff doesn't make a whole lot of sense... Will Fuda get the wrath of Tre? Introducing BravBros Members! Offering exclusive access, bonus episodes, monthly Q&A zoom and more!

Whats up Bros? The conclusion of Summer House starts now... In this episode we pick up where the cameras picked up in NYC. Carl sits down with Kyle following a tumultuous fight between he and Lindsay. Kyle finally flat out asks, are you ready to get married? Highlighting that marriage won't fix your problems. Carl seems like his mind has been made up and is unsure of what to do next. Was Kyle the best person to have this sit down? Did we need someone less biased present? Either way, we get THE conversation the following morning. Carl sits down with Lindsay allegedly to hash things out and move forward. From where we were sitting it seemed like Carl when into that convo with his mind made up to end things. Listing a whole lot of reasons that are probably true (name calling, mean texts, yelling etc) but Lindsay probably has plenty of valid reasons as well. The bottom line is these two were not meant to be together. Was it a blindsiding? Lindsay calls her dad to tell him and his response? "Oh boy"...? Oh boy... The ladies of Summer House get together following the news and the majority is down the middle, they didn't belong together this is for the best... Gabby however has taken a firm stance on team Lindsay. Lindsay comes in and doesn't know where the break up came from... Now the questions remain. Was she blindsided? Did Carl set her up with the cameras? What team do you support? Or are you like us.. At the end of the day this is two people that never should have gotten engaged and thank goodness they didn't go through with the marriage... Introducing BravBros Members!
