What's up Bros? This is our new favorite show. If you aren't watching yet then you are straight up missing out. Dennis and GG continue to have tension as Dennis also annoys the entire group.

It's time to talk about my new favorite show, and boy, am I excited? This seems like every week there's something new, and it's almost like the killer of old tropes from other shows on Bravo. The things that we hated the most that dragged on forever and ever and ever don't seem to do that in this show. The things that really don't need much attention actually seem to drag on a little bit, and I didn't see it coming, but it's always a nice little refresher. Because they're doing it better. To say it like that, yeah, doing it a lot better. As there's a drive in a deep left field by Castellanos. Oh man, it's 8 o'clock.

And so that'll make it a... I don't need the spotlight. I shine just fine. Hi, I'm karma. And yes, I am a bitch. Brov Bros. Good evening, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Bravo Bros.

Your favorite podcast from the Bros. for everybody for whoever wants to listen. I'm your co-host, Steele Russell, joined as always by the one and only. I was going to do Shorter again, but that's again, Scott, a shooter of a gooder. What's up, dude?

I think I'm going to have to, like, torment you and say that we have to change our name in like three months just so you finally get the intro, right? Or the outro. I don't know what it is, but you always have trouble with one of them, which means you're actually going to kill the outro today. So you got that to look forward.

Yeah, that's true. That's exciting. So good call, good call there. But yeah, I caught up. I watched both episodes, the one I missed, and then obviously the one we're about to recap. And I just, this show is a delight. It's so good, this cast. I think I've narrowed it down.

The authenticity, one, and two, their relationships. They're all so close, and they're all so intertwined with each other's lives. And I think that that's something that we don't see on a lot of shows anymore is that that validity. Like, this is an actual friend group. They've had ups and downs. Obviously, Shaw's fell apart because there was too much drama between them, but they have since mended those fences.

But it makes for such better TV because we've watched what? Four episodes, five? Somewhere in there. Right. And I am so much more invested in this cast than I've ever been in a show after five episodes. And that's saying a lot. that is really saying a lot and you already mentioned it

the main pitfall it's almost like Icarus lying a little too close to the sun we have them very intertwined in each other's lives and it makes for incredible drama even some of the stuff that happens and we'll talk about it specifically

in this episode I guess we kind of will kind of a bridge from the last episode anyway with Dennis showing up it's like why in the fucking world would you invite Dennis to come on this trip at the same time it's going to make for great TV but it could also be a debt to your relationship and your working relationship with him moving forward.

But also it's going to make great TV. But it could also be the downfall of your relationship with this guy and maybe the relationship with other people sitting at this table, which then could lead to the show completely blowing up on our faces. But again, it's making for great TV. So it's they need to find that. And maybe, you know, the hiatus for a few years allowed them to search their souls a little bit.

Like, hey, if we want to stay on TV, we can't do too much. But I don't know if these people have it in them to not do too much. And that's also, again, making for great TV. It's like they have to ride that line of this is going to be phenomenal television, but we run the risk of, like you said, going too far and the show falling apart because the damage is irreparable. Like, that's what this show is currently doing. And I think that's what they did on Shaw's as well and why it was so good for so long.

And then we saw the downfall of that simply because you had just giant rifts that they could not come back from. So yeah, the the potential pitfall of this show is that it's too good because it's too real and then it's going to fall apart. It's like they're playing a game where they, one of them has the trigger to detonate a nuke in the middle. Yeah. And they they don't know who has it, but also the person who has it has amnesia and doesn't remember that they have it. So anybody could actually be culpable for the downfall. We don't know who it's going to be yet, but it's going to get to that point where it's like, all right, we went over the line. Are we going to come back across the line and be normal? Or are we just going to stay out there? And I think if they ride that

line until the end of the season and then they cross the line a little bit, let it all air out at the reunion, that's going to work. And it fixes a big problem that we have with Bravo recently, which is reunions are fucking terrible. So if we have that where things are completely unresolved at the end of the season and we just let these people air it out with a little bit of intervention from Andy at a reunion. And it seems like things kind of go by the way. side will be good. That's a good show for me. So you're saying that this show is more or less like the Cold War, just everyone with their finger over the button. It pretty much is. Yeah. Yeah, somebody's got their finger on the button. We don't know where it is. Submarines are somewhere near Cuba. I guess they're

near the valley. We've got submarines near the valley. But they just have to make sure they don't cross that line or it's going to be an issue. It's going to be a global issue. I know. I know. But for now, oh, man, for now we soldier on. And my God. This is fantastic. Dennis showing up. No, it's a terrible idea, Gigi. Like, what on earth would possess you to do this? But here's the thing. This is with Gigi. And we talked about this now for the first, like, I think this is our fourth recap. Every single episode. We talked about this before. I understand like what she means when she says, I invited Dennis because we have to repair our relationship if we're going to work together. We know that the end game is, Gigi sees this as a good opportunity for them to work together again. So she can start bringing money. money and start putting food on the table for, or I guess weed on the table is probably a better way to put that.

So you can continue to do that in a bigger house. She sees what this is and she says, I need to repair my relationship with him, but I also need the relationship to be repaired with everybody else. And I need everybody else to get on board because if we're going to move forward with our friendship and working relationship, they need to be on board too. So all of that is actually somewhat weirdly sound logic. But the way she does it by just having him show up. in Palm Springs without telling anybody.

And it's a huge surprise and then immediately blowing up at this dinner table. It's so funny to me. It's like, why would you think this would go any other way? Right. Like the premise, yes, I understand what you're saying. But launching it like this is going to do the opposite because everyone's going to be immediately irritated when he walks in, which of course, why wouldn't you be? This guy is abrasive as shit.

You've got to like set the tone. let him know at least tell Adam it's his birthday dinner at the spot that he got married to Reza it's like been 10 years almost like i love adam but adam's adam's an afterthought and we can see that very clearly i loved adam in this episode i liked how he stepped up i thought that he's coming into his own a little bit here i i don't know let's let's jump into the episode because as we know things fall apart and now dennis is explaining the reaction to everybody which Makes no sense. And the problem that we're seeing now is with Sky, right?

And this has been slowly getting a little bit bigger, a little bit more obvious. And G.G. storms off because she's irritated at Dennis, which is funny. So she leaves everybody alone with the guy that she invited. And other people are trying to give her some cadoos, like MJ's given her props for walking away, trying to diffuse the situation. This isn't normal Gigi. Normally she'd rip your head off.

Then you got Sky going. going, well, she never explains herself that this is her problem. It's like, oh, boy, we got a lot happening here. And this episode just started. It is. And honestly, Sky, I wasn't sure what to make of her. And she's one of the newbies that we're not really sure how she's going to be able to assimilate to online or I guess an online presence because she's getting killed online, but also for reality TV. Like, how are you going to be able to portray yourself on camera? We always have that question for newbies. I didn't know what to make of her. She's in the mix of everything.

Like she is pissing people off left and right saying dumb shit, but she's backing it up because she can handle it. And I like that too. If you're going to call out Gigi, you have to understand you might get some hands in your face. And I know that Gigi's reformed. And we talk about that a little bit later of the episode. But you do have to be a little wary of that.

And you're not really sure how that's going to play up. She doesn't really seem to have a problem with it. And I like that because it just kind of adds to the mix of everybody else on this show. Nobody really thinks about what the repercussions are going to be after they say something to somebody who's very clearly volatile as shit in this moment. And they're like, yeah, somebody had to say it. I guess it's me. That's that's her MO.

I'll do it. I don't care. And she just says things. And that's great. We need that person on the show. But Reza points out as Gigi returns, he's putting the pieces together. Okay, let's see. Dad's money's running out.

Clock's ticking. You're about to get kicked out of your house. You need a new place to live. lo and behold, Dennis reenters the picture. It's like, yeah, obviously, we all know what's going on. What I love about this group is they don't hold back. There's not like Sky's popping off and people are whispering like, oh, she shouldn't be doing that. You actually get Reza confront her at the table in kind of a funny way,

but he's speaking Persian to her and imitating Sky and saying, I don't have time for Gigi. So he's dragging Gigi being Sky and everyone at the table's laughing. Sky's laughing. I'm like, fuck yes, guys, this is great. Don't take shit too seriously. Obviously, we know this is going to boil over at some point and we want it to, but we don't need it to boil over now. We just settled down from the dentist stuff. Reza cracks a joke that's a little bit, you know, again, we're riding that line. They love to ride that line and it works out. And Sky takes it fine. Gigi takes it fine. Everything's good. Let's go to the Red Barn Club. Right. Hell yeah, everybody. Rally. Let's go. Let's go to the Red Barn Club. And I do think that that's

one of the tropes that they're kind of putting to bed where we got into the mix with every single show on Bravo. Every dinner that we had was a catastrophe. But it was a catastrophe because something would blow up. And we expected something to blow up and it's completely fine, whatever. But then there would be so many little small fires going on throughout it. And then afterwards, and then we were unable to come back together as the group. If they can continue to do this where we had our blowup, Dennis and Gigi just blew up at the table, Gigi walks away. We made a couple comments. People have some comments afterwards and then we're able to laugh it off and move on and go out together again. That's all I'm asking for.

It's a very simple formula. It's great. It's great. And we're at the Red Barn Club and he got RJ. He's already hitting on the cocktail waitress because he's not going to be the 11th wheel. Fuck that. He was going for Gigi this trip. But Dennis threw his plans out the window.

I see I think he's putting on a little bit. You think he was? Because I think he's putting on a little bit in his confessionals. I agree. But here's what I think it was. think he was putting on, but I think the intention was to act like he was putting on. And that was the game to be like, oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, question mark, maybe. I think he likes, he likes the option.

And I don't even know if I can put it like in, I don't know if I can classify it as an option for him and G. But I think he likes originally thinking, we're the only two single people here. Like, there's a chance that it happens. But I still think no matter what he's going to. get to this bar. He's going to start talking to the cocktail waitress and he's just going to kind of go a separate way. And then he goes to his confessional. He's like, do I want to make Gigi jealous? Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Maybe a little bit. I think that's just who he is. I don't really think that he went into this trip thinking, okay, me and Gigi are the single people.

Maybe we'll hook up. Maybe I'll kind of like put some eggs into that basket. I think he's just playing the game and just seeing what happens. I think we're getting a little brief glimpse into his game as a bachelor. Well, Reza Jacks has quickly become one of my favorite Bravo Lebs for the sole reason that he went and made a real out of our podcast. Yeah. I know he's like a digital marketer, so I understand. He's some sort of digital creator. But when he posted that and we got tagged in like, who the fuck made this?

Yeah, I know. And then I know for a fact, like I've seen a couple of our clips floating around here and there, but they're never really that great quality, not taking a shot at anybody. but they're usually just somebody like watching on a laptop and they're filming with their phone and they posted up on TikTok. This was a legitimate clip that you and I could have made where it panned back and forth on the camera back and forth to whoever was talking and then had some captions underneath. Like he made this for himself and I love that.

I absolutely love that. Like I'm not, I don't feel violated at all. No, not even remotely. I thought it was so funny. And like we reached out to him obviously. He's as cool as he seems. But we get to. back to the house.

Not before they're doing our boy bombsy dirty because they keep flashing to him legit falling asleep. What do you want from the guy? What do you want from this guy? He's in his 60s. Yeah, we got to stop. We got to leave him alone.

Hopefully this episode's the end of making him out to just be an old guy. He's old. We know he is. It's okay. We don't have to do it. Stop the age shaming. We won't stand for it here.

But we get back to the house. And I was surprised because in my mind, and that's also we're seeing confessional's inside conversations of Sky. And she clearly doesn't really like Gigi. She turns her nose up at her, thinks she's better. Like that's the vibe we've gotten. But they're sitting outside talking to each other about the dentist stuff.

And it was actually a pretty normal conversation. And I don't know why or where Gigi got that Dennis would change it all given their first conversation. He never apologized. He never took accountability. You just squashed it because you didn't. didn't want to keep doing it. That was, that's why that settled down. So I don't know what the thought process was, I'm going to invite him here, ambush you guys, and it's going to be fine. Like,

everything's going to be fine. And I think that she's so focused on the end goal of getting intimately Gigi back up and running that she's not really looking at what's actually happening. She's trying to gloss everything over. But this whole group's not going to allow everything to gloss over. And that's becoming even more and more clear. Yeah. And I think that, just based on their action so far and what we know about these people, especially the OGs, it's more just that they all need to have a very real conversation about this. Like, Gigi needs to cop to it in front of everybody. Like, yeah, I'm a little, you know, haphazardly getting back into a friendship with Dennis.

There's still a lot of things that we need to discuss. It might happen. It might not happen. Probably not going to happen based on what we've seen from Dennis. And then further down the line, we can get back in business with each other because that's my best shot at making money so that I can support myself and my family moving forward. I get the vibe that once we have a group discussion about this, whether it's a sit-down dinner or we're doing it at a party or whatever it might be, then we can all move past it.

And Sky's a good example of that because we've seen in the last couple episodes going back to Gigi just sparking up a joint in her backyard obviously took offense to that. That's a reasonable thing. They have a conversation about it. Like, hey, I didn't think it was that cool that you just sparked up in the middle of my backyard when there's kids around they can see you doing this they can come out then they can smell it there's a big problem here i didn't really want that to be an issue gg understood a little bit at least or at least safe face by understanding with sky and now we get sky saying hey you're going to go out

to smoke i'll come out with you i'll come hang out so it the progression is beautiful i love that progression it's not a lot to ask but it's good because it shows this little thing isn't going to drag on forever not every time which ggis is going to smoke a lot of joints every time she sparks up. We're not going to just flash over the camera over to sky. Like, here we go again. We're done with it. We're good. And we showed that we're done with it. It's not just some absentee bullshit. Yeah, no, it's great. It really is. And we learn more about Gigi and her anger issues. As we all know, you know, if you've seen Shaw's or even clips of

shaws, you know, she's been to two different treatment facilities, anger management, therapy, all this other stuff. And she's genuinely trying to work on it. And I think that you saw that. That's why MJ was giving her props at dinner like, oh, well, Wow, like you walked away. That's great. That is progress. So she's doing her best, I think, and sometimes it's all you can really ask for. But everybody goes to bed.

And we wake up the next morning. House is trashed. Hell yeah. That's what I want to see. Good night, everybody. Well done. I'm trying to understand the G.G. Dennis thing, right? I really am.

I never will. But like, you know, him coming down from that little loft and being like, yeah, I was in jail up there. I was like, what did you expect? You ruined the night almost. Like, did you think you were going to, he really came to that trip like, hell yeah, we're going to point tonight. Yeah, baby.

No, you're not. Not only that, but he also thought that he was going to get some sympathy for the rest of the people there. Like, oh, you guys expected me and Gigi to sleep together, which I'm sure half of them did at least. But to hear you try to garner some sympathy from other people because you slept on a futon.

Like, what did you expect? You came here unannounced. We don't have a bedroom for you. If you're not going to sleep with the person who invited you, sleep on the couch. You're lucky that you're allowed to sleep on the couch. Yeah, dude, what the hell? Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

slash do that with acrobat. But further to your point of people trying to move forward, and I think this is more embodying like what the show is and what they all had to do to be able to move on. They have squash all those previous beefs because Rez is trying to be okay with Dennis being there because he wants to be okay with Gigi. It's all trickling down from that.

So he's like, look, I'm going to be nice to the guy. I want to see G. G. and Dennis have a good relationship, be in a good place. I know she needs the money. So I'll play along, no problem. And I think that everyone's in that mindset, at least now, right? Like this is definitely going to change as, you know, we get to season two, hopefully, season three, all that stuff.

I think their leash is going to be a little bit shorter for bullshit just because I think they want this to work. So I think if we're going to see some crazy shit and the show be okay, I think this is the season for it. And I think that's because everybody wants to be copacetic so we don't mess this up again. Yeah. And obviously it draws some questions from, you know, like MJ, what's her relationship with Dennis?

Obviously, she's a little bit more lenient on him. You would think that people would look at him like, all right, dude. Just don't do the same shit that you did last night. Try to come in. I'm not telling you to grovel. I'm not trying to tell you to have your hat in your hands when he walk into breakfast. But at the same time, I didn't expect MJ to be like, hey, how do you like your eggs? What's going on here?

You want me to cook his sunny side up? Do you want me to flip them? Are these good? Okay. All right, cool, Dennis. You're all good. Of course Gigi's going to be upset about that. Like, he almost ruined the night.

I'm part of this group. Dennis is part of the group by proxy through me. If I'm not cool with Dennis, you guys shouldn't be cool with Dennis. Like, this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But in MJ's eyes, it's almost like, well, he's kind of here against his will in a weird way. So I'm going to be nice to him. And that's only going to get a jane trouble. I think she's also following Gigi's lead, though.

You think, I don't know because I know that Gigi even said like the end of the night was a little bit better. Dennis was a little bit better. You know, he didn't apologize, but he was a little bit better by the end of the night. It's like that doesn't mean that you have to cook them breakfast without getting any questions asked. No, I mean more so in like the same mindset as Reza has. Like I don't know if Gigi has sat down with MJ and said what she said to us on a confessional. And I think she says it in this scene to other people.

She's concerned that everything's getting swept. She's like, I'm not good yet. Like, we have a lot to still talk about. And Dennis is walking around, like, we're all good. MJ's making him breakfast, this, that, the other. I'm saying, I don't know if MJ knows that Gigi is still concerned and still has questions for Dennis. I think she's like, okay, I'll do what Rez is doing. If he's here and you guys want to move on, whatever, I'll cook you some eggs.

Did I think it was astounding that Dennis is like giving her exactly what he? Yeah, too sunny side up. Yes. No, don't you flip those just like that. Like, if that was me, I'd be like, yeah, whatever you want. So much salt on them. Like, it was like a backhand compliment, too. It's like somebody just cooked you breakfast, buddy.

Exactly. Like just. Unless he likes the salt. No, I couldn't, I couldn't get a read on that one. Maybe he really did think it was delicious. I don't know. I can't get a read on him, nor do I really want to. Like, I'm cool with not understanding how that guy's brain works.

But Reza Jacks pulls up to the kitchen in his tidy whitties. I love this move. There's a great. It's a power move. I think, see, now I'm confused. because you don't think he's gunning for a Gigi. I think he is. I think this was a move.

I think he's gunning for every attractive single woman in the valley area. Within a 50 mile radius. Yeah, but like if you're gunning for everybody, are you gunning for anybody, if that makes sense? Like you can't single out one person to be like, oh, he's gunning for her when he's gunning for every single attractive woman in the area. You know what I mean? It's almost like, if you show me a little interest, I'm going to do this. I think it's just his personality.

I really don't think like we'll have to, for me personally, I think I'm going to save my judgment on exactly what his game is when I see him actually. Courtney doesn't really count. The cocktail waitress doesn't count. When I see him actually make a move that's of import on this show, then I'll be like, okay, that's similar to how he was moving towards Gigi. Maybe he was. But if it's vastly different, then I'll be like, okay, no, this is actually him trying to show interest.

Okay. All right. that's fair. I got you. Well, Sky and Tannen are having a conversation. As we know, they're besties, but there's some cracks in the foundation of that one. And we're starting to see it a little bit more because the conversation initially is about communication between spouses, right? Because they're both having some issues in their marriage. So, Sky, Fomshed, how is your communication going? This guy's like, same shit, different day. Nothing's better. Everything still sucks. Like I say one thing, he does something else, blah, blah, blah. I'm glad that Tannen finally asked because I was

wondering if anybody ever was, like, well, do you think that you need to improve on anything, Sky? Like, maybe, just perhaps. Her response is, I know exactly how I am and I get to the point that I just don't want to deal with it. It's like, well, that's not really what she said. She asked you if you need to change anything. And I don't think that you think you do. But your expectation are simply too high. Did she agree to that? I don't even know that she acknowledged that her expectations are too high.

In a way that I imagine only Sky can do that, where she didn't really agree to it, but it's clear that that is exactly the case. You know what I mean? Like, she kind of beats around the bush a little bit and smiles here and there, but she's not taking any accountability for herself, and she's not going to cop to her standards being too high,

but also they've been married for what, I don't remember. They've been married for a while. They've been married for a while. I think they said 17 years at this point. So, yeah, you would imagine that there would be some little thing here.

Like this isn't MJ and Tommy where it's like MJ's changing. She's maturing. Tommy's not. There's a huge difference here. Bombshot is 65-ish, give or take a couple of years here. Sounds about right. He is who he is.

I think he is who he is. And he's probably similar to the guy that you married a while ago to to expect more from him. not even expect more from him. I don't think the communication is her issue. I think her issue is not communicating with Bobshod correctly. But I think that the issue in their relationship isn't communication. It's that Sky wants all of these things and she wants him to provide for her where he's just

kind of happy where he is. Exactly. And we get more of that later on in the episode, obviously. But I think the best thing Tannen said was Sky doesn't really care about others the way that she wants them to care about her. And that's the vibe that I'm getting as well. Her standards are here for how she wants to be treated. But she doesn't really give a shit about anybody there.

Her husband included seemingly. So it's a tough place to be. But before we get back to the rest of our episode, a quick word from our friends over at Robody. And I've been hearing a lot about GLP ones. I've got a lot of friends that are on GLP ones. And maybe you think that that one shot is daunting. Well, boy, oh boy, do I have some news for you?

because they have a new pill, which is more convenient and approachable for a way to GLP1s if you've been thinking about it. A self-administered shot can be intimidating, but now there's a pill that delivers comparable results. And the new GLP1 pill has the same weight loss ingredient as the shot, and it packs comparable results to the shot. It can help patients lose 14% of their body weight in a year on average. And that's pretty crazy when you think about it, too, because like I said, I know a lot of people that are on GLP1s, and they are feeling so much better about their lives. They're feeling so much better about what they're going to be doing moving forward. And Robody is here to help you guys.

The Robody membership includes access to FDA-approved GLP-1s, a limited provider messaging, side-effect management, and more, all for just $45 for your first month and $145 a month thereafter. The Robody membership fee excludes the cost of GLP1 medication. go to row.com slash brov bros to see if you're eligible for the new gLP1 pill on row.

And now we'll get back to the rest of our episode. But we have one more conversation between Gigi and Dennis before we get to go drive cars and cool shit like that. And her big thing is that Dennis keeps bringing up the past. And I think that this was another embodiment of the journey from Shaw's to where they are now. Because they have agreed either consciously or subconsciously to let certain things lie in the past. We've squashed it. We've moved on. New show, new us, whatever.

And Dennis kept hammering home all this shit that Gigi used to do to him. Well, she treated me like, shit. She did this. She did that. Gigi's like, look, no one in this group holds that shit over my head. You come in here and you throw all that shit at me. You try to like knock me down. He's like, well, I'm not going to come in here and let everyone badger me.

It's like, bro, you crashed the party. And they don't like you. There's unresolved issues. Your issues with Gigi, you think at least, are resolved, according to you, Dennis. So maybe come into the table with some honey instead of what's the saying? You get more bees with honey than salt. Whatever. Just be nice when you come in.

But instead, you're picking fights with everybody and using Gigi as cannon fodder. Yeah. And I think that his approach going into this is Gigi reached out to me. And whether he wants to say it or not, he knows that she's doing a TV show. She reaches out to me. Clearly she needs something from me. So I'm in a position of power. The problem is it's not just Gigi that you have to get one over.

Like if you just have this one-on-one with Gigi, we're not doing the show. She's weirdly estranged from Reza or hiding all of this from Reza or whatever it might be. Then yeah, fine. You can deal with this the way that you see fit when it's just you and Gigi. But as we know from this, with this whole group, when you're invited to this, it's not just, ah, yeah, she came hat and hands. Like, I've got the position of power here. I've got the upper hand.

I can do whatever the fuck I want because this is basically her, apologizing and telling me that all of my bullshit was fine. And it's okay. And we can leave that in the past, but I can still be an asshole. And in reality, when you're coming back into this group, whether it's the show or not,

you do need to be nice to them. You do need to realize if you're going to go off on Gigi, they're going to have her back. And if you're going to go off on Gigi and it's going to ruin everybody's fun time, they're going to go off on you. And it seems like he's blindsided by this whole thing. Like I can't believe that these people are meddling in my business. What do you mean?

You made it there. business by showing up to Adam's birthday dinner and causing a fucking scene with Gigi. Like, yes, again, I understand if you have this over on Gigi and you know you can do whatever you want because at the end of the day, she wants to get back in business with you because it's her only option. Fine, I get all of that. But if you're going to come back into the group, you need to be nice to them. I don't even think you need to apologize to them or explain anything to them.

You just have to be respectful. And if you're not going to be respectful, you're going to get shit for it. So it's not really that hard to figure out anyway. No, just don't be a dick, bro. like it's not that difficult and Gigi is getting pushed and pushed and push. She finally snaps a little bit and she says, I'm smarter than you. And then you get Dennis with like, this is so embarrassing to say this to a woman on TV. Like you have a camera in front of you, dude.

And he's like, you're smarter than me. Is that why I'm successful and you have no career and this, that and the, sick, dude, awesome. You're so cool. You're fucking solo. in your, you're a middle-aged fuck boy with shitty veneers and a bad haircut. You have money. Cool, dude. Like a lot of people in California have money.

That's the other problem. If you feel like you're so above Gigi, then why are you even taking this information? Why are you taking this meeting, if you want to put it like that? If this is what you know is going to happen, you need her just as much as she needs you. You don't want to leave money on the table. So why are you going to do this in the first place? You're not clear, clearly you're not good enough off that you don't need any of this, but you're acting like you don't.

need it. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. We can all see through that shit. Yeah. Clearly, you either just want to be on TV. You need the money or a combination of the two. You don't come out of this looking good at all, especially when you get hit with pack your bags and your belly button and go home. Like, that's fucking funny. We're on Gigi's team. Is she acting a little bit irrational? Sure. Do we care? Absolutely not. Not even a tiny bit. It's going to take a lot more than this for me to give a shit if she goes off the rails. absolutely. And, you know, she turns to the group and she's upset. She's like he just refuses to take accountability. Bam, sky jumps in again. Well, you're the one who invited him over. So you're the problem. Gigi still did not go off though. She's like, look, I made the wrong choice.

I missed the friendship with him. Like, I genuinely missed the friendship. So she's still being honest. She has not snapped completely yet. I respected it. And then you have have Dennis making fucking ultimatums to MJ. Well, if she wants this, she better do that. I don't know why MJ even entertained it. Like that's where I started to question what was going on. Is she doing this for Gigi because she knows she really needs the cash? Or is there something else going on?

Like, I didn't really understand why she brought him back in the house. Let him go. Like see you, dude. Again, it just, it sort of reeks a desperation, which is a tough look for anybody. But if that's what Gigi's going to do and she's going to play, it that way. Dennis on the flip side, like stop fucking talking to everybody about this. Like you

you must not realize that your behavior is wrong. You're coming at this group all wrong. You shouldn't be involved in my guy all wrong. You shouldn't be involved in any of this. You shouldn't be pulling MJ aside and giving ultimatums about Gigi. Again, if you handle this one on one and we see this scene play out

it's probably going to be looked at a little differently where it's like, okay, yeah, you guys were both wrong. And yeah, she's holding you to a higher standard because she was doing something that was very similar, but now she needs you. So again, that's okay. That's how that's going to play out. But you keep willingly pulling other people into this shit when that's what your

one thing was. Like if you didn't show up like that, you wouldn't be in this predicament. And you're just burying yourself even deeper, especially to the fans and the audience that are watching this, nobody likes you. He's just not a likable person. Like, there's nothing about him that has seen around. I'm like, oh, I'm glad this guy's on the show at all. Yeah.

But Rez is talking to Tannen, who again is starting to boil over a little bit with all the sky stuff. And the expectations come back up. You know, you're putting all of this pressure on bombshud to live a life that you just simply cannot afford. Like you want to go live by the Chateau Marmont. You want to go have cocktails with Quentin Tarantino by the pool. That's not the life that you live. You live in the valley. You have a nice house.

You have a good setup. Like, is that good enough? And apparently it's not. And, you know, Rez is concerned about it. Tannin's concerned about it. And then Tannin let slip about the syrup, which we watched. I love that this is a thing. This is my favorite thing, by the way.

The fact that this is what we're boiling it down to, yes, we've got issues when it comes to how Sky is reacting to bombshot and trying to force him to buy another house out of the valley because she's so much above the valley. Yeah, we can talk about that for days. if we're really going to focus on one thing here, let's focus on Sky doing the serum on her hands and being like, oh, let me just give it to the dogs. Yes.

That's fucking hilarious. One, it's weird, like, it might be animal cruelty. We don't know what the hell that's actually going to do to those dogs. But also, it's a disrespect to Tannen. And I don't even know if Sky realizes what she did. It's almost like she used the dogs as like a hand towel where she's like that's like. Yeah, I don't really like it. I'm just going to put it on my dogs.

Get this off of me. it's a problem in a couple different ways and every single way that it's a problem is fucking hilarious. And if we're gonna really hold her accountable for one thing, it's not forcing her husband to do something that he doesn't want to do. It's not acting like you're better than everybody at the table.

It's what you did with this serum that Tannin is trying to launch. And I love that that's the one thing that we're focusing on now. I do too, but I think it carries more weight than that. I think it just shows again, it's a respect thing. Not like that, not like that. No, no, all right. Because it's funny. I know.

Fucking calm down, guy. Don't make it not funny. It is funny. No, it's just it. They say it later, idiot. That's why I'm saying it now. It's just about respect. And I was just saying that it's like the, you know,

she looks down on, on the other people in her group as though she's better than the other people in her group. So that's what the vibe gave me when she was wiping it on the dog. Because she even says like, I'm not putting this on my skin. And she put it on the dogs, which is important because later on, she claims that she did put it on her skin. It was not on her hands a little bit.

And then it was on her. Exactly. Because she put on her hands, it was like, I'm going to go ahead and just wipe this on the beach. It's like meshing in with my skin. It's not going in correctly. It's glossy.

Yeah. Let me wipe it off. I want my dogs to smell. It smells really good. I want my dogs to smell good. That's a good way to do that. Just so fucking rude. The world of Sonic the Hedgehog has been thrust into a not-so-dark,

But Tannen even acknowledges that she needs to start seeing some support from Sky or it's going to blow up. So we get a little bit of a warning sign, some foreshadowing perhaps, and we get to RJ and Greg talking about the medium. Because in last week's episode, we obviously saw that very emotional scene where Natasha has always felt a certain way about, you know,

Amir losing his wife and her, then marrying him, having the life that they wanted originally and understandably so. Like, I can't imagine what it's like being in that spot. So we watched a very emotional episode where she didn't really want to be involved at the medium, but then she does end up going.

And we hear a lot of really nice things. It was actually seemingly like a moment of, a moment of clarity for her, where she did feel a little bit more comfortable. But there is more there still. And we get to watch as Amir comments on it. He's talking to Greg and he's talking to RJ. And he's just like, yeah, you know, that was super heavy.

And Natasha has been amazing. But we have more questions. Natasha has questions because, you know, does he still love her? Have you ever asked him that? No, I haven't. Like, do you really want to know the answer? Like all these crazy things that would only happen in this very, very unique scenario. But what I like about Amir is that.

that he's open to having those guys. He wants to know how she feels. And we've already said that these two are like one of the best couples on all of Bravo. They seem to be the most solid. So you have Natasha who wants to continue the conversation. She still wants some answers just so they're on the same page so that he understands where she is. She understands what he is. And vice versa.

I just thought that this whole thing was like a really mature and a good, good side by side scene of understanding where they both are. especially because they're both willing to have that conversation. Yeah, I'm absolutely obsessed with this whole thing. I think this is one of the best little storylines that we've seen on a reality TV show. It's crazy. It is such a crazy situation. And to have a medium in the midst of all of this, it makes me wonder, especially with the reality TV show filming and everything that's going on,

whether or not these two would actually have this conversation. This might actually be a good thing to come from reality TV. Holy shit. say that about anything. We've never said that before. This might be a good thing because I like both of them. They're very likable people. They're very normal people.

And they love each other. And again, it's not a knock on a mirror if he still loves his wife who passed away. And Natasha knows that. But then she's going to feel guilty because she feels like I'm his second love. And he's still in love with her. And it's not like he's in love with an ex. He's in love with his first wife who passed away. There's nothing we can do to change that.

Now, if we didn't have reality TV and we didn't have this whole group meddling in different things with a medium, we might never have this. And maybe Amir and Natasha never talk about this because she feels like it's wrong of me to bring it up and ask him this. And Amir on the other side is willing to talk about all these things. So it's almost like this disconnect was brought back together because of reality TV, because of this TV show. And I'm so happy for them. Because I know, and again, we're five episodes in, but you can get a good read on. people. They love each other. They've got a beautiful little family and they're going to discuss this and they're going to be able to get through it and see the light on the other side of getting

through all of this and find themselves in a different way that maybe wouldn't come together without all of this going on. So I love this not only because it's forcing them to have a conversation they might not have, but also because we just got done talking about sky rubbing serum on her dogs. We got both of that in about, what, three minutes? We just had a very serious conversation. that I am all in on. And we also have Sky over here. Is she being disrespectful by taking the serum, taking it off of her hands, and rubbing it on her dogs? Fucking incredible.

Great TV. Three minutes of TV that I will love to watch again. Yeah. And that shows you the depth of this show. The depth of this show. And I think you're right. I can't remember a moment that we've seen that has solidified a marriage more. Instead of breaking it apart more.

We've seen a. I thought you were going to say you haven't seen a moment where we actually looked and said, yeah, reality TV is a good thing. Both. Both. I mean, reality TV is a good thing for us, the audience at home, right? Because we enjoy to watch this. It's very rarely good for the castmates. Unless they're using that reality TV to break out of a relationship or marriage that they didn't want to be in, like Brittany and Jacks or Todd and Bronwyn or something.

Or MJ and Tommy. That's on this show too. That's on this show, too. that's usually what we get. Those are the best instances of reality TV affecting people on the show for the better. It's like, wow, you got out of a toxic relationship because of reality TV. I knew what you were doing. You were planning this the entire time.

Bromwin, please speak up about that. But at the same time, I'm still happy for you that you went through that. This is different. This is actually good for a relationship and it's going to bring them closer together. And I like that. Yeah, we love that. We love to see it. Gigi checks in with Adam.

and I wasn't aware when he said besties the night before, they really are like best friends. So he checks in with her and, you know, obviously he's a little irritated at the whole thing, but he's not holding it over her head. He's more just saying like, look, I'm your bestie. So whatever you do, I'm going to support you. If this is the route we're going, fine.

But I think it's time for some boundaries. We need to start drawing some lines in the sand here. And Gigi agrees. But the vibe is much more like just fucking. can get rid of this guy and just be in business. It's business only, no friendship, no nothing else. Is that cool with you, Gigi? I don't think this is the moment yet where we kick him out, unfortunately.

But I did love that scene and we'll get there in a little bit. But let's go race some cars. What do you say? I'd love to. This looked awesome. Like this is something I would love to. I just want to hang out with this cast. Like this cast knows how to fucking do it.

They know how to party. They know how to have activities and events. Like, this is what we should be doing, everybody. Take some notes, please. But we go race. Makes me want to go to Palm Springs in general. It really does. And I've never really wanted to go to Palm Springs before.

But now I do because of them. Watching them on this racetrack was fucking hilarious. Watching all of the different personalities collide, everybody who's driving. And then you just kind of bopped into Bombshot's car who's going about 35. Age shaming. It's just age. shaving. Playing that music was just rude. And then Sky gets behind the wheel and it seems like she's

going about three times as fast as he is. You got MJ losing her glasses while Greg is driving. We didn't get a lot of Greg in this episode and that's okay. But watching all of them just kind of like go back and forth from driving and not driving just so it can culminate with Resa Jacks, who is not an adrenaline junkie. He doesn't want to do these things. He's very in control in his life. But yeah, you know, when I do it, I'm going to go to the max. And this fucking crash. scene was hilarious. The entire sequence. MJ running on the track

after them as he already spun out once and he's like, fucking I'm going again. Let's do it. Spins out with a huge pile of dust. We don't know if they flipped the car. I'm assuming they didn't, which they clearly didn't. MJ running on the track,

that seems a little dangerous, but very funny and very drama-filled. The golf cart coming out with the siren. Everything was so fucking hilarious. I loved every second of this. What? Is it Days of Thunder? is that the was a tom cruise and and stalone is that that racing movie from like the 90s

days of thousands of thunder that's what it reminded me of because i think there's a big crash in that and like you get like the slow motion of the guys running like oh no like you had it all you got the guy in the golf cart which they like dramatized which i would love to see that just in real time of this thing going like five miles an hour towards a crash site see i would have loved like a little rickie bobby action where resa gets out of the car and he starts crawling, like getting after the finish line. Like, I gotta make my time. That would have been great.

Like, any of those things would have applied and been absolutely perfect for this. It was so good. And like, Reza Jack's just in the car, like, ah, like just yelling as he's driving. And you got a mirror in the passenger seat. Like, what the fuck is happening right now? And then, like, again, I have to point it out, they didn't get mad at Reza for doing that.

Like, we've seen so many shows where it's like, oh, now he's public enemy number one. because he put Amir at risk. Like nobody's mad at him. Amir's not mad at him. They're disappointed because he didn't finish the race. But they're still laughing at having a good time. Like, well, that's fucking nuts.

All right. Let's move on with their day. Yep. Well, it was a great scene, top to bottom. And we get back to the house for dinner. And Adam takes it upon himself. I love this to just go up to Dennis and say, hey, man. Yeah, did you book a hotel before you?

And Genesis is like, I already know what? you're gonna he's like all right cool see you he just at least he didn't play dumb I'll put a check in in the prose column the only check that exists in Dennis's prose column he didn't give Adam shit he didn't argue with him about staying there

or anything like that looks like he may have finally found the bed although I think that was just Gigi's bedroom and that's where he was keeping his shit but he knew right away he's like I you don't have to do this you can let me down softly I get it I'm not welcome here yes I did book a hotel or I can go book a hotel I

really care either way. Doesn't matter to me. But that was so funny because the crew that went in there was Adam and Bomsy. And bombsies just stand in the corner like, all right, good call. I'm going to sit in the corner and look tough. Because if you think about it, the situation would have been so much different if Reza had gone in with Adam. Like Reza would have gotten revved up, get the fuck out of here, go after him, try to get some answers. If you have Bomsy in there with Adam, like Adam's just going to be clear and cut.

Like, hey, man, you have a hotel room? Don't you hit that hotel where Bombsey, anything? I'm just happy this unfolded the way that it did. I didn't really feel like getting into it. But it will see you later. I didn't have to raise my voice. It's so good. But let's get to dinner.

And Courtney joins the party. So RJ's got a date. And Gigi, and I like this move too, obviously very short-sighted to just surprise everybody with Dennis, but she stands up, says, Hey, guys, I'm really sorry. It was selfish and personal, and I shouldn't have dragged you guys into it. I appreciate everybody here for their honesty. Like, she had listened to everyone pretty much tell her what a bad idea this was.

You had Sky who was chirping at her about it. She didn't go off on her. She just acknowledges, you're all right. I was wrong and I'm sorry. I was like, hell, yeah, this is so good. It's so nice. Let's enjoy some nice grass-fed steaks. These are so chewy.

Damn, we were so close. We were so very close. Somebody overcooked the meat. All it takes is one person to overcook some meat. You know this. Oh, yeah. You get a little too well done. Nobody's happy.

It's going to start a fire. Sure does. And this is the straw that broke the camel's back. Understandably so, because it's the little, and I can hear it like in real time, just the little side chirp. It's really chewy. Yeah, grass fed, but it's so chewy. It's like, why, why are you doing that?

Like, Gigi cooked the steaks. Like, why are we taking this moment is when you're going to finally push it over the limit? Like, just eat the steak. Don't say anything. But, well, again, because if somebody else had said it, then she would have been looking at herself like, ah, right? Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. And then you're still going to get into some shit.

It's almost like she has this, this. value system of I'm not going to let somebody else at the table say what I'm thinking first. Yeah. If I'm thinking it, I'm going to say it. And I'm going to be the one. And I'm sure a lot of times people appreciate it. Because I do appreciate somebody in a group who's going to speak out and be like, yeah, this is what I'm thinking. It's like, oh, wow, I was thinking the same thing. It was rude of me to say it. But you know what? If you're going to say it, I'll jump on board. Why not? I agree with you. It's almost like that. But again, where she is, she has no

awareness where it's like, yeah, maybe you still have some things to answer for here that everybody's been kind of talking about around here. Have awareness that don't put yourself in the crossairs. Don't put yourself out there. Just try to get through the dinner. And if people throw you into the fire, then yeah, go ahead and defend yourself. But if you're going to open up with that, you're kind of fucked. She kicked that door wide open. And she did it with the topic that people are talking about, her being condescending and pretentious and bang, it starts coming up. Or you remember of the Persian royal family. And Gigi, to her credit, once again,

tries to turn it somewhere else. Or she was bringing up Aeroon intentionally, knowing that Sky was going to take the bait. Now that it has said that, I'm leaning towards that being what she was doing. Yep, it was definitely that. I didn't think about that either, but you're right. Yep.

Nope, nope, that just clicked. Anyway, she tries to give Adam some credit for his tabooly. She's like, I think that his to bully is Arawan worthy. Like, that's how good. good it is. And then Sky does one of our least favorite things is I know everything about Arrow One. I know everyone that works there. I know the schedule. I know this. I know that. I know the menu.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. No one cares. And somebody says, did I write it down? Oh, yeah, Gigi's like a yacht is a flex, right? Like, that's a flex, a house, a car. Bragging that you spend $30 on

strawberries is not the flex that you think it is. And now you've opened the door for Bomsey to jump in and be like, look, it's just not a good time to get a new house. So we went from steak being chewy to tabooly to $30 strawberries. And now Bomsey's bringing up the fact that you want this expensive house you can't afford in front of the entire group, which is going to lead to the obvious destination of you think you're better than the valley. Everybody, get her. Everybody just go after her immediately.

and that's offensive to me because I was born and raised in the valley, okay? Oh, yeah, Greg. Oh, yeah, brother. Get in there, Greg. Get in there, Greg. This is the most, and I don't even know if he meant to do this. This is the most he's ever defended his wife on the show. And I like to see it.

And I think he truly did take offense to that because he sees the writing on the wall. She's going after the valley. She's been trying to get out of the valley for the first five episodes of this season. You know what? That offends me. I love the valley. I am the valley. If you're offended by the valley, you're offended by me.

And I'm not going to stand for that. Right, Tannen, tell her about the serum. Yeah. Well, no, Rez is the one that drops the serum. I know, I know. Which is so good. But one of my favorite fourth wall breaks that I think we've gotten is Gigi standing up after she's shitting on the valley going, you're on a show called the fucking Valley.

She's like, so what? What do you mean? So what? That's a pretty important point to this. Like you live there. That's why you're on the show. That's why this whole thing happened. And her claim that if we sell the house, we can live anywhere.

Reza has already told her, like, you have a 4% interest rate on this house. Like, you'd be nuts to sell. You'd be nuts to get rid of this thing. Don't do that. And Reza, I think, hit his limit finally. And he's like, look, either get on the same page or stop fronting. Like, you're just, you're spinning a web of bullshit. And you'd think that you grew up with a silver spoon and a trust fund.

And Sky's like, oh, I am not that one. I am not the snobby one. And the entire table reacts. Reza gets up and guffaws at her. Gigi's like, dude, like, I love you. But are you kidding me? What are you talking about?

And that's when, go ahead. No, I was just going to say that was the most obvious reaction. And that's the flip side of what you said. We hate when people are like, I know everybody in Irwan. I know everybody who works there. I know their delivery schedule so that I can get in there quickly. All right, give it a fucking rest. That same person opening up and saying, I'm not that pretentious.

I don't say those things. That's the perfect. That's the icing on the cake right there because then it's just a free for all. Oh, it was so good. Like, I didn't mind it. Like, I love this entire sequence because I was like, you just proved you were snobby not 30 seconds ago. Now, please try to defend yourself about not being snobby because I want to hear what you're saying. And that's when the serum comes up.

Reza pulls that one out. Tannen doesn't really want to. but I think she did. I think that was like a feigned like, no, no, don't. Oh,

no. I think it was like a not now almost because like I haven't really gotten through it. It's almost like when Tannen was telling Reza about that, she was just kind of reliving that moment and didn't realize how disrespectful it was that she wiped it on the dogs. And now she's kind of coming into terms of that where it's like, okay,

maybe that was really disrespectful. Let me think of some other things that she's done that are disrespectful. And I do appreciate that approach from Tannen, but it's not going to work in this group. Once you let one thing slip, even if you don't realize that it's going to be something brought up later, you do have to act quickly. You do have to compile a lot of shit if you're going to go after this. And this group is going to bring you into it because you're the person who gave that information. We're not going to have any of that bullshit where it's like, I heard that you did this. Well, who'd you hear that from?

I don't know. I'm not going to tell you. No, we're going to bring you right in. Come on, Tannen. Let's talk about this. I heard that you did this. let's discuss how disrespectful that is. I love that.

And I love that we're holding people's feet to the fire immediately. And weirdly enough, Sky, one lies about putting it on her skin because I think she said that I put it on my face. Then I put it on the dog. It's like, no,

you didn't. You even said in a confessional. I'm not putting that on my skin. And then he robbed it on the dog. But then she blames Tannen for it somehow. It's like, what? How was it her fault?

I literally wrote Bazaar. because it was such a weird move. And then people are pointing out like, Tannen wears your jewelry. She's like, ha, have you ever paid for it? Yep.

Yeah. Did you pay full price? What is no? Like you gave me a friend's discount, but I still paid for what are you talking about? And then Sky inadvertently implies that by not paying full price, Tannen is not being fully supportive of Sky's business and Sky's endeavors. I do too.

incredible. If you were with that level of money. You would pay full price. You would definitely pay. When I offer friends and family discounts, you should turn me down. You should say no. You should be supporting me. I'm not here as supporting you with jewelry on discount. You should support me by paying full price. I like that. That's a very sick and twisted way to live. Yeah. No, it's it's perfect for reality TV, that level of delusion. It was just so funny to watch this entire thing play out because of this defense is ludicrous.

It's insane. And that's when Greg. Greg really jumps in about the Valley stuff and calling her pretentious. And she's like, well, I don't really care what other people think. I think she means I don't care what Valley people think. So, to, Greg, you grew up in the Valley, gross. And you're still here? What a loser. That's why I go on trips with your wife.

And it's glaringly obvious that Bob Sched is saying nothing. Because everyone's saying what he wants to say. to her. So he's sitting there with his arms crossed, letting this whole thing play out, letting everyone else speak for him instead of defending his wife. Gigi tries again. So I have to give her credit, especially knowing her past, especially knowing she just told us in this episode about her anger issues, her working on it. I don't blame her for what happens next because she's like, look, maybe it's in the delivery, right? Sky, like, just say, like, I love the valley. It's just not for me. And she's like, I've said that.

Many times. Ah, the tone just ever so slightly was a little elevated. And now Gigi has had enough. And she gets up. And I would honestly, maybe I'm splitting hairs trying to defend her here. But she didn't get in her face. She got in the back of her head. Yeah.

Look, that's the level of defense that you're going to catch with us with Gigi on the show. Because she is a absolutely, maybe the most necessary evil of a show that I've ever seen. Yeah. It's great. And again, like, am I team Sky? No. Do I respect the way she handles this? In a volonious way?

Yes, I really do. Yeah. Because she gets up. I love it. It was good. Like, she didn't skip a beat, dude. She was like, I will drop you like the napkins I clean my nose with and doubles down and fake blows a tissue and goes, thug. And drops it on the ground.

Just proves how pretentious you are. If that's how you're thinking of. people like that's so funny to me and she doesn't care it's almost like we're going to get a spin zone on this whole thing where it's i'm not pretentious i'm just classier than you are yes and i can't wait for that one i can't either you've literally walked around the party saying that she's beneath you that other people here are beneath you that you're better than that you should be in a big fancy by the way she's like talking about a two million dollar house not in the valley i've seen two million dollar houses in LA, they're not nice.

They're small and you need a lot of work on them. So I don't know what she's doing. All about the zip code, baby. Yeah, I guess so. Is that 902.10? Beverly Hills. That's where I want to be. That's where I want to be.

Living in Beverly Hills. Oh, man, weezer. Hell yeah. Wow. How about that? Yeah. But yeah, I mean, it ends on a 2B continued note and just no notes on anybody. Like we got a great villain in Sky.

Like she's doing a phenomenal job, doing whatever the fuck she's doing. Gigi as the antagonistic protagonist is a lovely trait to have. And then you've got everyone else in the mix just adding to this incredible, incredible ensemble of drama. Like I have zero notes. We had funny moments. We had fights and altercations. We had emotional moments, like actual emotional moments. we had marriages getting tested but getting closer.

Like, what do you, what if you're not watching this, I don't know what you're doing with your TV time. You are wasting precious time to get in on this early. Stop waiting. Let's get some questions. Yeah, how about that? First one up here from Mrs. Brad Pearson.

Is anyone else afraid of what Gigi would be like if she was not on pot? Well, you don't have to worry about that. you don't have to worry about that because she is and she says that she's very aware she's like thank god for pot i just need to go calm down let me go smoke a joint like cool all right if that's what it takes go for it i don't care i also just love when people say it like that it makes it's it sounds so funny like oh on pot she's on pot again like uh that's so good thank you uh from lorraine promo. Should Gigi even be on the show? No growth at all. Absolutely.

Well, yeah, she should be on this show. Of course she should be on this show. It wouldn't be a show without her. Yeah, as Carrie DeFleese, 100 out of 10, no notes. That is the correct take. Gigi right now is driving this show forward. And that's saying a lot because anybody else could be driving this show forward very successfully. She's just taking the rain so far. Blackbeard 601.

Why does Sky film if she hates everything about the valley? Beverly Hills would eat her alive. That's this is the, that's the line. We know if she went to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I think she would have one season. It's very similar to like what Amanda's doing where it's very delusional, but she wouldn't be able to continue that. She's actually perfect on the valley.

And this is why. This episode is exactly why, because we do need people that hate the valley and think they're above it. And yet they're on the show and they live in the valley. And they're never going to leave. Like I do think that Sky and Bomsey will find some sort of compromise in a couple of years. They'll move somewhere and she'll just act like she's better than everybody, but she'll still be bopping in and out of the valley.

And it'll be very funny. Where did Danny and Nia move? I don't remember. Shit. That's where they'll end up. Somewhere around there. That's where they go. But like I don't think that Sky wants a big house.

She just wants to be out of the valley. That's the only thing. Yeah. No, I think you're right with that. as Casey Danzig says, Sky's the worst. I hope she never leaves the show. Yes.

Yes. Exactly. You got it. From out of office, Mama, great point. Love how the men are not afraid to show their emotions

and how they support Amir. We love that shit. We love bros supporting bros. It's awesome. Yeah, they're great. Everyone's great. Yeah.

And it looks like the other comments are pretty much just people saying like Olivia Ragusa or Olivia Ragg USA. No question. And this lady just sucks about Sky. And again, like the other person said, she sucks, but she's perfect for the show. Yep, exactly.

Everything else is similar questions that you guys asked. So make sure you get your questions in next week if we didn't get to yours. But yeah, dude, I mean, the questions say it all. You guys echoed exactly what we're saying in the episode. And that's why we love you so much. And that's why we love this show so much. But I can't wait. This is one of those shows that I get done the episode.

Like, damn it. Like, I can't wait for next week, especially because we got left on a two be continued. So we didn't get to see scenes from later. So, yeah, I'm Jones in for this next episode to come out. But phenomenal. Phenomenal. But that's all I got. You got anything else?

Nope. Well, bro, bros are out of here. Nailed it. Well, there you go. Yeah. I had to think about it first. That's why I paused. Oh, please.
