To round out the week, Dylan is back with a solo episode, recapping the latest episodes of RHOBH and Summer House.

He also has updates on Tamra leaving RHOC, and Lisa Barlow (hopefully) not leaving RHOSLC. Plus, reactions to the trailer for season 2 of The Valley. Learn more about your ad choices.
