Are We Quiet Quitting RHOC? Plus A Below Deck Med Crash Course Ft. Michelle Collins

This week, Dylan is joined by Antonia Hylton who you may recognize from MS Now to talk all things Housewives, reality TV, and why Bravo might actually be one big sociological experiment. They get into why RHUGT proves the OG Housewives still have it, the lasting impact of Nene Leakes and classic RHOA on pop culture, and why those early Atlanta years still hit harder than almost any other era. Then, they break down Karen Huger’s place on RHOP, why she & Gizelle are the pillars of Potomac, and why Salt Lake City doesn’t need Jen Shah to come back. Plus, they discuss the staying power of Real Housewives, the difference between Housewives and shows like Love Island, and why reality TV can tell us more about culture, relationships, and friendship dynamics than people give it credit for.

It’s been a whirlwind week in the world of reality TV, but Dylan is back to break it all down. He starts with some quick takes on the recent episodes of RHOC, where Vicki’s situation seems darker than we realized. Meanwhile on RHUGT, she’s whooping it up, and Luann is on everyone’s last nerve. Plus, the RHOM cast makes another compelling case for being taken off pause. Then, Dylan discusses the cast announcement for next season of The Traitors, and digs into some initial opinions on the current Traitors: New Blood season. Then, he dives deep on RHOSLC, including our abrupt introduction to new friend Quai, and Whitney and Heather’s cornucopia of questionable apologies. Later, it’s time to talk about the Next Gen NYC reunion, and how real world drama might impact the show’s next season.

Then, they turn to RHOSLC and discuss Bronwyn’s new single era, whether she could come back a little too confident, and how Heather’s role in the group has shifted over the years. Plus, Michelle makes the case for why it may be time for Big Brother to move on from Julie Chen, breaks down her current Below Deck obsession, and tries to convince Dylan to finally start watching again.

Dylan and Chris reunite one final time to break down the Love Island USA Season 8 reunion, which served up one giant nothing burger. Mama’s a liar, Melanie did get the most screen time, Kayda came ready to fight for absolutely no reason, and Sincere seemingly hired a PR team.

On this Tuesday episode, Dylan is joined by Gibson Johns to break down the current state of Bravo. They start with RHOC Season 20 and why the season is falling flat, whether Bravo may have outgrown Vicki Gunvalson, and why her return on both Orange County and Ultimate Girls Trip just isn’t hitting the way it should. Then, they get into RHOBH casting, Tracy Tutor joining the group, and whether Crystal Kung Minkoff could be ready for a return. (Also FYI, this was recorded just a few hours before the Leah Remini casting announcement so she is not mentioned for they are not psychic.) From there, Dylan and Gibson dive into the RHOA reunion, Porsha’s importance to the franchise, and why Cynthia Bailey may have found the perfect Housewives role. Finally, they look back at the women who have represented Bravo over the years, why Ramona is unlikely to ever be that face again, and what the future of Ultimate Girls Trip should look like, including why Bravo may need to take the concept beyond Housewives.
