Bros & Shows - For The Love Of God: Bring Back Miami (RHUGT Full Recap S5E7)

Episode Date: September 22, 2026

What's up bros??? They could've looped the 5 minutes spent on the Miami cast for 45 minutes and we'd have been happy but nooooo we just get a little taste then act like nothing changed. Please bring back Miami ASAP. It pains us to see that things are happening here within the cast and we're not a part of it. Anyway, this ultimate trip keeps on trucking on from Miami to NYC where Luann has a fun party planned and Gizelle & Porsha have a takedown of Luann planned. Let's just say that Luann is not Vicki so this could be exciting. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I love this show. I love this episode. Actually, it's awesome to go back to New York and see like real iconic moments. I think we think about iconic moments, but watching the montage of Rony iconic moments really paints a different picture. That being set, little bummed out about the duration in which we were in Miami. Could have had a lot more Miami and I would have been happy. Yeah, we basically got a full episode of Miami, but it was very funny because in that short stint that we spent in Miami, it was pretty much a Miami episode. So let's give them their flowers and I'm happy with it. But bring it back for the love of God. 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 Brov Bros. Your favorite podcast, for the Bros. For everybody, for whoever wants the list,

I have your co-host, you're also joined, as always, by the one and only shooter Magooner. What's up, dude? Do you have something to say? Yeah. Do you have something to say that? Just spit it out then. From the cold open.

Well, damn it. This is what I did want to happen. I forgot. Fuck. I had it, too. all that rushing for nothing. And, uh, damn. All,

all that Russia. All that Russia for nothing. Uh, it was along the lines of, oh, okay, here, got it.

I'm pretty confident, given some context clues, and just the fact that we went to Miami in general and our wishful thinking because, you know, we wanted to be back so bad. I think that we will have a Miami the announcement within the next six months.

That's my prediction. Maybe not airing in the next six months, but I think it'll be back in an announcement in the next six months. That's a conservative projection. I'm going to go even shorter and I'm going to say before the end of the year. I think before the end of the year, we get some sort of announcement, some sort of glimpse into it. And look, we're looking.

We are doing all of due diligence to make sure and we're on top of it to the point where I know Steele and I watch this episode very similarly, while watching Adriana come out, while watching Alexia come out, and Larsa and Lisa, every single time it just says, Real Housewife of Miami. It doesn't say seasons that they're in.

It just says Real Housewife of Miami. That's it. Everybody else has seasons. It doesn't really matter who you are. These are what you're looking for. And they didn't cut Lisa's mic while she's going on and on talking about herself. Yes, was Giselle upset about it? sure, whatever.

I don't care which is all things because I'm listening to Lisa. I need to know what's going on in Miami. And to hear them say, you haven't checked in with me, what's going on. You have Larson and Lisa Kikiing about Jody and what happened that it started off as a contentious issue. Then it moved to them being friends. I love every second of it. Bring Miami back. And I think they know what they're doing.

And I think this is the most appropriate way. Now we do talk about Bravo and marketing and how they don't really align all the times because they don't know how to market these shows. But I thought that this was a good little Easter egg hunt. it's funny you said that because in my mind, this is how Bravo markets. Bravo's so bad at marketing because all it takes is, hey, let's throw a couple commercials out there.

They put a salt lake, here's how bad they are. They put a Salt Lake commercial. One of the football game, I think it might have been Thursday night football last week. Yep. We get a random Salt Lake City. The ladies are back.

All right, cool. That show's been back. you're literally giving us commercials the week after the show airs. This is the first commercial that I saw for Salt Lake. At least it was something. This is where Bravo dumps their ad money into. You know what we should do? Let's get creative.

In the seventh episode of Ultimate Girls Trip, the whole first five minutes, we're going to make it like a Miami episode. And people will know. They'll pick up on the clues that we are going to make an announcement that it's no longer paused at some point within the next six months or so. people will pick up on it and then we'll get the blogs talking or or make a fucking commercial and put up a goddamn billboard be normal like what the fuck that i like a hundred percent believe that this little blip which was like you said this was a miami episode scrunched into

five minutes it really was that's their version of advertising look i i i fully agree with you i I think I'll take the five minutes. I will take a condensed Miami episode. That is how starved I am. That's how thirsty I am for Miami and all the things that are going on. I feel like I'm out in the heat and I would love to do anything just to get into Jody's AC. That's the only thing that I want. That's what I need to do.

I need to sit in the room with Jody and just decompress about all the things going on in Miami. That's what we need to do right now. And we get little glimpses into their lives and we get a little update here and there. But I'm looking a little further and even going back to last episode. talking about how they were getting their flowers. Like, wow, yeah, you guys were paused for a long time. And we came back bigger and better than ever. They did.

So there's no reason for them to be on pause. There's no reason for them to stall the production. I think they've got something in the works and they're being a little quiet about it. They're going to just drop something randomly, which is cool. And I think they may have fallen in love with that. Like, oh, this is going to be the best. We're going to be just finishing up this torrid, torrid and terrible OC season and just throw in a little Miami promo and then that's what we get.

I can see that. What's going on in Miami, the city over the next year? Between now and then, is there something big that happened there? Like, that would have delayed filming. That would have made it difficult to film. They did the Grand Prix. Like, I figured they always have the Grand Prix. Yeah, they've filmed before.

They've had F1 there. They've had Super Bowls there. The Super Bowl is not there this year. It's in L.A. I'm just trying to think if there's a reason and then they're like, oh, we'll just play into this and say we're paused again or something like that. I don't know.

I just, I'm trying to put two and two together as to why they're paused. But to your point about looking for all of these cond, I love that this has turned into just a Miami episode for the first 10 minutes. As it should. Damn right. I'm trying to put together all of the things that we saw this episode,

plus last episode, nothing was in the past tense. that's how like in depth I'm looking. It wasn't. Oh, yeah, for sure. Oh, when we were on.

They're talking as though they're still on. Even during Lisa's speech and the side conversations, it's all pointing to they're not paused. So in my head, then I jumped to, okay, was there a reason? Maybe two,

three, four of the cast members had like prior obligations. They weren't going to be in town for an extended period of time. So they quote, paused it. Maybe by pausing it, that drums up more. chatter now more people are talking about Miami and that was their goal bravo tried to do something

weird to make Miami more relevant that's all i can come up with and this episode i think proves that it's coming back because of how all of the ladies were talking it was not ah i wish we were on or ah remember when we were housewives it was very much like we are housewives next season's going to be great like that's what i got yeah that's what i got as well and it's kind of interesting too because the selection that they made. Now, obviously, you have, you know, Larson, and Alexi were going to be there. Lisa, we knew she was throwing a party.

Kiki shows up, but that's it. We got no Gertie. I was really hoping that we were going to get Dr. Nicole somewhere in there, but we didn't get anybody from the beginning. Now, obviously, Adriana, but we didn't get anybody else. Like, I don't think that Leah Black's going to show up or anything like that. But I still expected some drop-ins here and there, like, remember this, remember that, things along those lines.

Oh, it wasn't. Yeah, we didn't lock down memory. Lane, you're right. No, we barely did. I mean, if anything, we just kind of went back to Lisa's original lingerie party, which was fucking hilarious. But that was it. We didn't get a whole lot more from that. It was really just an update on what's going on with everybody. Like, when we were dropping in and talking to all of them, it was, what's going on in your life? Are you with Todd or not? Yeah, we're with Todd right now. He's my man. Of course, I'm with him. It's like, okay, cool. That's still going to be funny. And then going over to Lisa, it's like, what's

going on with Jody? Not with Jody anymore. So I'm single. I'm looking for a new man. It's like, okay, that's news. So, it was way more of like a current episode versus what we've seen so far when we drop into Atlanta when we drop into Beverly Hills OC. It's always just kind of digging up things in the past. And then yeah, there's a little bit of a promo for the current season. If you want to go to OC and talk about it or go to Beverly Hills and we're talking to Erica about her boyfriend or whatever it might be. There's little things along the way. But then you get to Miami and it's just like all current events, all current things, all updates in their lives. So that tells me like,

all right, there is another season on the horizon somewhere. I think it's going to come sooner. But I'm just probably wishful thinking. Yeah, I'm trying to keep it at six months for like my mental health because that way I'm like, oh, it's going to be a long time. So if it comes back earlier, I'm like, oh, yay versus if it's like in five months. I thought it was going to be two months. Then it'd be pissed off. But yeah, we definitely watched it pretty much the exact same way. Yeah, of course.

And I agree with you. I think with just all the updates you got that literally was like watching the like first two minutes of a new season. in which it's like, what have they been up to? Or like, let's recap last year. It's like, boop, here you go. I thought it was hilarious that all of the dynamics are still the same. You got Lisa and Larsa at each other's throats, but then they are like giggling as they go off. She's like, I told you I was right about Jody.

All that good stuff. Adriana is still singing songs when nobody asked her to. I think, I don't think she told anybody she was doing that. I think she's like, just, you're going to carry me in and I'm going to sing, but nobody's going to. I assume Lisa knew, if anything Lisa knew, but I doubt the rest of the cast for Miami or anyone else in Bravo knew that was happening, but they expected it. Which I very much appreciate.

You get the key-key drop in, like you said, love to see her. And I think the funniest one to me, you already referenced it, is Alexia and Todd, because the last that we heard from these two, I hate that guy. What a piece of shit. Never talking to him again. But that's the funniest. I think it's hour to hour, honestly. But like checking back in with her, you can say a lot of,

things about Alexia? She's loyal. Because the way that she talks now is like, that's my man. You better back to like that's Todd. He's my Todd. You better back the fuck up. We're not, we're not playing this game. This is the off season. This is, this is preseason work for us. We're not getting into any of this. I'm just going to tell you he's my man back off. We're not talking about it. Yeah, it's sort of like a football coach coming out. Like, yeah, he's spraying his ankle, but he's day to day. We'll see. We're not sure if he's going to play on Sunday, but we're going to just keep an eye on it. And we'll keep you

update it every day. That's what she's doing with Todd. It's very funny. And I want more of that obviously. But in terms of the rest of the cast, we already referenced, we've gotten to the point of travel, fatigue about being around each other. We're starting to see some flips going on. And we saw Vicki last episode. We saw Luann last episode. Very different vibes going on there and very different feels from the rest of the group towards the two of those women. Vicky, I mean, she's still a double flop for sure. I mean, the more than I have to, but better, more tolerable the last two episodes. And I like that. She's still doing the, thing, which I don't know if this is a move.

But when we get up to New York, she's like, it wasn't even in New York. And it was still down to Miami. She's like, I don't know anybody here. I don't know where my people are. It's like, okay, well, maybe you weren't being racist last episode in Atlanta. Maybe you're just like that. And you don't like anybody and you're not friends with anybody.

That might be true. We're in Miami where it's still. Yeah. You know, we have to see if she does it in New York. If she does it in New York too, when we go to the Halloween party, we get more of that next week, then it's like, all right, you just don't have friends. You don't try to branch out. And then maybe that is just your.

character, but she has to do it a third time and then it's like, okay, we can go back and revisit that. She has to look really bad. White cast because, let's be, like Miami is a Hispanic cast, Atlanta, obviously a black cast. So if she does it in New York, I can say, okay, she's just weird, not racist, but yeah, leaning, leaning towards that direction. But the rest of the women are okay with Vicky now. She got a couple of drinks in her.

She explains it a little bit later to, which we'll get into when she's sitting down with Portia and Giselle. but everybody's got their eyes set on Luan. It didn't go over super well when she got really drunk and started spouting off about her uncle who died on the toilet. It didn't go over super well when she's just kind of commanding every conversation and starting to sing. I think it's fucking hilarious.

I never want Luan to change. But I get why it's starting to wear thin, especially like we've said before, they're traveling so much and they're in and out of hotels. They are exhausted and they're just trying to put on a good face. And then you've got Luann over here. This is her life. This is the life of a showgirl.

She's all over the place. She has not actually changed. She might not even know there's cameras there. She just loves it. So she's just having the time of her life and it's wearing thin on people. It's so much more entertaining that they're setting their sights on Luann. I don't want to see people go after Vicky because we know what we're going to get with this new rendition of Vicky over the last two, you know, what we're watching in two different shows. We know it's just going to be Debbie Downer.

It's going to be a bummer. She's going to lash out. She's going to say some mean shit. And then she's going to go answer a work email. With Luann, it's a much different feel. So by all means, Jezelle, by all means, Porsche, go after Luam because that's way more entertaining and very funny. And she'll stand back up to you and stand on business, whereas Vicki Wolt. So that's a better course for me moving forward.

So I want to see how that turns out. I agree. And I agree wholeheartedly about Luan. I can totally get being in her presence for all of this and be like, oh, my God, this woman is irritating the shit out of me from a watchability standpoint. This is why Luan, we said it all last week. This is why she's so great, because this is honestly, as we kind of flash over to New York, and there's a couple of things we'll talk about still in Miami. But you flash over and you get all of the scenes from the Glory Days of Roney.

The reason that the show was as iconic as it was and the reason that we all have a soft spot in our heart for Durinda, for Luann, or Sonia is because their life was a cabaret. Like it really was not in the same way maybe as Luans where she's singing and dancing But they were on 24-7 because that's who they were They were born to be on camera they somehow found this magical group of women Who on-screen and off-screen were the fucking same and that's what made them so damn good You might hate some of them but you know damn well they're entertaining on TV Derinda yeah she's irritated

us in recent years, the Bluestone Manor shit and all that, but all and all, like, gold, just reality TV gold. Sonia Morgan is a fucking queen. The little blips, I know, that's so funny that Luann took a shot at her like that.

I know. Probably well deserved, but like Sonia's one-liners, just her overall demeanor. Like, I missed Roney so much after watching this episode. And I've been at the forefront of, hey, it's time to move forward because that show's done.

We can't keep living in the old days. But watching this, it's like, fuck, this is why it's hard to let go. Because damn it, when these women were on, they were the best of the best. It's Roney and Atlanta next to each other. O.G. Roney, OG Atlanta.

And it's hard to ever think that we're going to even come close to those, let alone top them. That was the peak of housewives. And we're not going to get that again. But getting to walk down memory lane, again, I mean, we had the same thing.

feelings when we were in Atlanta. Like that was such a great episode. And then we hit the Roney episode. It's like, yes. God, it hit like crack. Like crack. It really does. Like this, this shit means different.

Like we go to Beverly Hills, you know, C, you see clips of the past. It's like, oh, that's so fun. Like 20 years ago, that's incredible. You go to Roney and it's just icon after icon after icon. It's so much fun to watch and revisit. And I, the only thing that I really think about when we go to Roney and again, we're not completely skipping over the Miami party. We're just talking about Roney right now.

when we go to Roney and we start talking about Dorenda, we start talking about Luann and Sonia and Kelly. I wonder when Golden Life filmed, because to my knowledge anyway, I think they filmed a bit, then took a break and then filmed a bit more. So I want to see if any of these timelines add up, and that's sort of like when my ears perk up

when Luan's talking about Sonia and like, oh, yeah, I haven't really talked to her. Dorenda hasn't talked to her. Sony's on that show. So did something happen on that show that they can't talk about it. They're not going to talk about because they want to see how it plays out. Or have they not even started filming yet? And we're going to see first episode that all of a sudden

it's like coming back with them because I have no fucking clue when this was filmed at this point. They're doing a Halloween party, but it's snowing outside. I'm very confused as to what's going on. I assume it's sometime in the winter, not Halloween from last year. But I might be completely wrong about that. I don't remember what it's snowed in New. You are incorrect. About what? When they started filming. So this was, um, this, this, Okay. So they recorded Ultimate Girl's Trip last year, right? Right. I'm not mistaken. All right. They picked up cameras spring of 2026 this year. Golden Life is premiering on October 20th of this year. And they began filming on March 11th in Palm Beach.

Okay. So they had not. There you go. So there's at least a few months in there. Again, I have no idea when this was filmed specifically because they're doing a Halloween party in the snow. It doesn't make a ton of sense to me. but I imagine we probably go a few months longer and then we pick up. So that's what I'm kind of projecting because again, we're going to cover Golden Life. We're going to watch Golden Life. I just want to know when we do this with every show. It doesn't matter if it's probably or not. I want to know what's going on with women.

And we get a little update here. And that's something that just kind of made me think like, oh, wait, you guys are going to be a show together? Are you going to have that whole kumbaya moment? Like, where has Sonia been? Is that going to be funny or is it going to be sad? I don't fucking know. But just something I was thinking about from before.

now going back to Miami. We obviously get, and I'm really eager to talk about this, the reunion of Teresa and Melissa, what did you think about that? With Jacqueline mixed into it. But what did you think about that, the two of them coming together?

It seemed very, very nice. It seems like they love each other or at least like each other. I don't know if that's put on. It seemed like they both realized that if they didn't come back together and make nice, they wouldn't be able to film the show anymore.

That's what it felt like to me. Is it real? I don't know. Do they both understand the assignment they appear to, and that's all that I need. Yeah, I think that they have a good chance of at least lasting most of the season, being friends without Marge there. So I'm going to have to see how that plays out. But there are a lot of little moments here and a little quotes that you can throw in there from Teresa, from Melissa. Teresa even says like, oh, yeah, you know, my show got paused because it just got, it got too heated. It got too contentious. There was too much going on. We couldn't

even filmed together. And then of course as soon as Ballissa shows up, it's like, oh yeah, what do you mean? Like talking to my hairdresser, we spent Christmas together, we've hung out, we've done double dates together. I'm like, okay, maybe you're working things out. That could be good for us. Again, this is a good show for projecting what the next season of shows

are going to look like. Salt Lake Salt Lake is not so far anyway, panned out the way that we thought it was going to. I thought it was going to be way worse, but it's not. So for other shows, I'm still looking forward to those things. And Jersey is definitely one of those, because if you can get Jersey back into a good form, That's a good housewife show to have on.

And maybe it'll cause you to look at those OC in Beverly Hills episodes where people are not really keen on watching, which we still have to cover OC. We're not excited about it. No, not even remotely. We have to do that right after this. That's why we did this first because I was excited to talk about this. But to your point with the Teresa, Melissa, all of that, it kind of ties into our overarching sentiment of what ultimate girls trip has been and hopefully is for housewives. it appears to me that we have seen a lot of growth in Teresa Judice. And I'm not being facetious.

This would be normally something. I'm like, oh, yeah, she's totally changed. I think she has in a lot of ways. She seems more at peace. She seems like she doesn't want to enter another phase of like drama and bullshit and all of this noise and nonsense. It looks to me like you have a different air about the Jersey. housewives that we've seen.

If Melissa and Teresa can move forward and not turn the show into like a drag and family shit and dark and heavy and just kind of have fun again, Jersey could be great. They could. It used to be.

There's no reason it can't. And I think that seeing Teresa move around this season of Ultimate Girl's trip the way that she has, it gives me a ton of hope because lover or hater Teresa Judey's is the Real House House House of New Jersey. It all comes down to Teresa Judey.

So if she's doing good and she's on a cast of people that she wants to be around and we don't have these bullshit factions, people refusing to film with each other, the same Joe, Melissa, Teresa, Louis thing that we had for fucking four seasons in a row, there's no reason it can't be good again. So I wouldn't have had this much hope without Ultimate Girl's Trip. Ultimate Girl's Trip has reignited a flame in me for Housewives. I think something that really stood out to me too for kind of projecting for where Melissa is going to be.

That Jacqueline Melissa encounter could have gone so differently. I mean, they did not like each other. They really haven't liked each other. And they have not spoken in what, like 10 to 15 years. So that could have been a moment like we've seen from Beverly Hills. We saw the older housewives who were no longer on television trying to make a name for themselves and trying to do this and that and whatever. I have a moment. They squashed it quick.

I mean, Melissa, even knowing. that she's probably going to be on jersey moving forward. I imagine that she already had that announced and already knows what's going on. She could have stolen the moment. She could have looked at Jacqueline and started some shit and then had Teresa come over and had it be a whole thing. But she didn't.

She was eager to just kind of let it go. Like, oh, you know what? We haven't spoken in like 10 years. I hope you're okay. You look great. And give me a hug. Let's just squash this whole thing. Good.

That's actually what I wanted to see. I was worried that we were going to have that. Like, oh, no, don't do this. Either side. I'm not just saying on Melissa. I'm saying on Jacqueline. side too. Don't do this. It didn't hit when we watched Beverly Hills with the White Party. It's not going to hit now. It's just going to be an annoyance. I want to get back to the Miami cast anyway.

So please make this quick. Please move on and let me pick up a couple of notes along the way. And they did a good job. So that gives me a little bit of hope too from at least the Melissa side of things. I agree. I agree. It makes me think that they really do want to move forward. And I don't think that they want their show canceled. I think that they want to have a place on Bravo. And if that's what it took to get them to be nice and move on. Great. Fine. Whatever.

I'm just excited at the premise, which two years ago, last year, if you'd ask me, excited about the Jersey reboot, I would say, fuck, no. Now, yeah, I really am. I really, especially like New York's going fine. Like, that reboot, is it, is it earth shattering? No. Is it good? Yeah.

Like, it's an entertaining show so far. So, the bar is so low. The bar is so low. So low. But that's a good thing because it's like, is it watchable? Yes. Okay, cool. Now maybe it'll be good.

But as long as, like, they're smart. And if they were really smart, they would air Jersey close to OC. You give us OC. Or maybe they'll do Jersey with Beverly Hills. You got to pair it with one of the California Housewives shows. So you can be like, oh, wow, it's not actually bad. Stark contrast. Yeah.

You can kind of see the difference and be like, oh, this show is great compared to. But this episode is sponsored by Vinted. I feel like we all have that section of our closet filled with clothes that we keep telling ourselves that we're going to wear again. I promise. We're definitely going to wear that shirt again, even though it didn't really fit that well, even though I didn't really get any compliments, or it still has the tags on it and I actually never wore it, but I have an idea that I might wear it. And I've been trying to be better about cleaning out my closet. And Vinted makes it really easy to actually do something with the stuff that I'm not wearing. Vinted is a secondhand marketplace app where you can sell your clothes you no

longer wear and make some extra money while giving those pieces a second life. And the thing I really like about Vinted is how simple the selling process is because it could be a headache. A lot of those other sites are very, very stressful, but all you have to do is list your item and when it sells, Vinted creates the prepaid shipping label for you. So you don't have to do all that stuff yourself. Plus, there's no seller fees. So you keep everything you earn. And the Vinted app is free to download, which makes it really easy to just start listing some of those pieces that you have sitting in your closet day after day. Honestly, it's a great feeling to clear out some of that space, get some extra money along the way, and then you use that money toward

refreshing your wardrobe. Maybe with some pieces that you'll actually wear this time around. Ready to clean out your closet, make some extra money? Download the Vinted app for free and start listing.

I mean, the Larsa and Lisa Barlow thing was hilarious, like proof of the accountant, too. Although to me, that's proof that you weren't there because Larson didn't see you.

Where were you, Lisa? Larson didn't see you. And then when you start digging through your phone for other pictures, you start bringing up a Blake Lively movie that you also went to. I love Larson's advice to Lisa. Stop me. I'm not Charlie XX. Yeah. It just made me think of the picture of John Barlow and Charlie XXX.

Did you see Jack Barlow in TikTok today? He's so funny, man. He's great. That comment. And for those of you who didn't see it, someone posted saying, I really just need John Barlow to step up and tell me that my tits are looking straight or something along those lines. And Jack Barlow commented on and said, you know, a lot of people tell me that I look like my dad with a dead emoji.

And Lisa commented on and said time for TikTok to go away. So that's very funny and just kind of adds fuel to the fire of what we were talking about with Jack last week where he's a very funny kid. Like that is undeniable. Now we did also see that Brooks was very funny on Salt Lake City for a while too. And he's bringing nothing to next gen. That's good point. Yeah.

Swap him out. Let's just see how it goes. Maybe a couple of years. Not right now because he's only 21, but give him a couple of years and then we can swap him out. Yeah, we'll see. He'll be on something if I had to guess. But anyway. Keeping up with the Barlow's?

I don't think I would hate that show. I don't think I would hate it, but I don't think I would really like it. Yeah, that'd be interesting. like Lisa Lisa needs to figure out her own cast first and then we'll see if we can do that. I don't know if I trust a show where she is told like, hey, this is your show. You're the star. It could be insufferable. Yeah, you're right.

Anyway, we get to New York and we get just, I mean, moment after moment, you know, Ramona walking the runway is that face is forever in my brain of her eyes walking down like that. You get Luann with the camel. you get turtle time. You get mentioned it all. Not well, bitch. We have a hand towel in our kitchen that says not well, bitch. We have like three different Dorinda quotes. You haveunky Dory too in there, I saw.

Who is donkey Dory is on a coaster. That's, that's, what's her name? Kathy. Kathy, yeah. And then I cleaned, I cooked, I made a nice that. We got a few little chotchkes in our kitchen. But anyway, I didn't need my, in bed.

I did. Without that. Oh, you were? Okay. I liked it. Yeah. Okay.

Fair enough. I did think it was funny when he gets out of bed in briefs and gives Darynda a hug. I didn't think it was briefs. I didn't either. And you do get a little glimpse of brief in there if you were looking. I was. And yeah, that was funny,

I suppose. I don't know. Well, his whole interaction the first time turned me off. Yeah. I mean, I'm fine with it because it's Lou Ann. But,

That was very leon coded too to be like, all right. Yeah, we just had sex. Let's let the cameras in here. Oh, yeah, for sure.

Like, poor cameraman. They're like, all right. Yeah, I guess we have to go in there. You guys just had sex at a closed hotel. Oh,

what are we doing? Dorinda is here. Derinda is here. And you guys are still, okay, all right. Yeah, we're doing that.

Hey, come on in Durinda. Yeah, Michael's here. Michael's here. Here, here. Yes,

in the house. Actually, in bed, in boxer briefs. Hang it out. go meet him, go give them a big hug. They're in to handle it well. It was still very funny to see these two come together.

Anytime that you get to have those two or any sort of combination of the original Rodycast come together, that's the best. It's so exciting. It's just like, ooh, remember? Makes you go down memory lane again. But Giselle and Portia and Vicki are now a dynamic trio. As we said in the intro, Vicki has been better. Like these last two episodes have been a lot better.

Is it absolving her of all of her? discretions up until this point. No, not at all. But it's nice to see her not being a stick in the mud so we can have a little bit of fun. The Carol Radswell doesn't hit as hard because we've seen her back for an episode or two on Roney already. She commented on our video and was not happy. She wasn't happy with us. I think she misinterpreted what we were saying. I'm not sure who she wasn't happy with. Oh, no. She said that's not funny. And we weren't. laughing at the situation or we were laughing at what jessel at the situation but not the situation you know what i mean no situation in present time not the situation of old yeah not the deaths per se

right i was trying laughing at the yes not the dying the current the handling of the storytelling yeah yeah yes the jes all that all yeah exactly yeah we we did nothing wrong what we're fine Take it seriously. Oh, boy. Anyway, this is when we find out about Sonia. And apparently Lou hasn't spoken to her in a very long time. She says, quote, unless you're waving five grand in her face, Sonia is not showing up.

Scathing indictment. Very interesting considering these two came together for Crappy Lake last year. I figured that they would have just kept talking. But we have hurt two years ago at all blunt. five years ago. Is it? It could have been three years ago at this point. It was two years ago.

I don't know. I think it was a long time ago. It could have been. That's honestly, that is pretty much just like how life has just been going. You can tell me something. I'm like, yeah, last year was great. It's like, no, no, that was that was a long time.

That was 2020. Oh, shit. Everything's blended together since COVID. It's all one big lump. Yeah. Are you looking it up? It premiered on July 9th, 2023.

So, yeah, three years ago. Three years ago. Somewhere in between. Yeah, whatever. You get it, guys. You know, but I am curious what that's going to look like on Golden Life to see those

two come back together. Clearly, we're going to have to have a moment because Luann said this. I'm assuming we're going to address it in some capacity of her absence. But getting back to this restaurant with the clip, clip, clip, clip, there's a fucking plaque on the table at that restaurant signifying Darynda saying clip, clip, clip, clip. Not only that, there's a AI version of Dorinda as a cutout, which is... That was AI?

That was not Dorinda. I was trying to find a picture of it so I could use it for questions. I couldn't find it. That was not Derinda. That was what looked like maybe current Dorinda, because she wasn't even wearing what she was wearing in that scene, but it would look like maybe current Dorinda with like an AI face of Durinda on top of it. And then they got it printed out.

They may have just done that for this. I like to think they didn't. I like to think there's a picture of Durinda up there. I hope somebody can confirm that. And the plaque, I think, is always there. So that's good at least. Yeah, that's a good point. I didn't know as an AI version of Durinda,

but I thought the whole setup was very funny. This scene was not funny. This turned into something totally different. And I think this is also a testament of Roney. And let me explain. Because we're sitting at the table, Carol gives a much better speech than Lisa Hawstein, depending on what you're looking for.

speeches. At least this was funnier. But it was a nice, you know, talking about the undeniable sisterhood. And, you know, for one night, all the drama softens what's left is a bond that these women who survived this universe together. It was very sweet. But what occurs afterwards is we get in our fields a little bit. Remember, we're in New York. And I don't Jersey is next to New York, but you would think we're here to prop up the Roney cast. It's a Teresa Judeyce pump up Sesh. Everybody at the table takes turns giving Teresa her flowers paved the way in a lot of ways. She showed everything, literally everything in her life on camera to the point that the show couldn't even film without her when she went to jail.

And everyone's sitting there just kind of praising Teresa. She's being brutally honest about the whole thing. And this isn't that much fun. You just, he texted me a picture of Dorinda mid. Look at the picture. Yeah, it's clearly not her. That's horrifying, actually. Does she have two different color eyes?

I think so. It's really bad. What is that heterochromia? Is that what that's called? Yeah, I think so. Two different color eyes? Sounds right. Yeah.

Yeah, you really threw me. I was trying to get sentimental and that, that threw a wrench in it. Here you go, guys. If you want to. Take a look at it. Not Dorinda. Definitely not Durinda. Definitely not Dorinda.

It was a very sweet sentiment. And this is, what you kind of expected. I'm happy that we get like the clarity on the situation. Like we get people open, somebody like Teresa open about this. And clearly they are, and we've heard this word, throw it around a lot. But they're really hammering home the sisterhood. And it actually makes sense this time.

And people are actually using it in the correct terminology rather than what we usually see, which is, hey, we're together as a sisterhood on this cast trip that's falling apart. And we're all at each other's next. Let's be nice to each other. and then they're not nice to each other. This is what you expect celebrating 20 years of housewives, going around the table, stopping at all of the really traumatic,

huge moments that have been on camera, both the happy, both the sad, all of the things that come along with it. It was a good moment to share. It was a really good moment. And again, Teresa's been having a very good ultimate girl strip.

She's incredibly likable, which is probably infuriating a lot of people. I don't really care because she really has been able to spend the time to tell everyone, like what it's meant to her, to show everybody what it's meant to her, to go through all of the things from season two where Audriana was born all the way through going to jail,

breaking up, going, Joe getting exported, Jesus. Exported. Expedited. The Bahamas. Extradited.

Extradited. Expeditiously. But it was, it was really nice. Yeah, there you go. But it was very nice. It was really good to see because it was very genuine where everybody's going around the table, kind of sharing different stories about what they've gone through.

And we've seen this already so far. And this is only episode seven. We've seen this a couple of times. But it hits every single time because it does show what they've gone through and all the the things that they've lived on camera. And it's both good and bad because you're able to relive those moments. Go back to season two. Go back to season one.

See all of those things that you were doing as a family. And then go all the way up to, you know, season 15 or 16, wherever you are in your, you know, respective show and see where you guys are now. Like it's good and bad along the way. So those are the things that I think they wanted to focus on. I think they did a really nice job. I think the other cool thing was, you know, we give these ladies a lot of shit. And, you know, we get to watch them at their best, at their worst, and everything in between.

But when Porsche went to, uh, to again give Teresa her flowers and just kind of talk about housewives as a whole, because Kyle jumps in and talks about how Porsche's entire life was on screen. she didn't sign up for that. That's something that Kyle has to carry. And Porsche references this mob guilt. But also, this is a group of badass women. The breadwinners, they made a ton of money. They worked their ass off in this industry.

And they've all done incredibly well. They've built businesses. They've made a fortune. And they've made a name for themselves. And I think that's really cool. So when you're looking at the impact on their children, sure, You can have a long conversation about the impact of having your kids on reality TV for their entire life. But you can also say, look at what these women built for their families.

I think that's a very important thing to highlight because I think that easily gets lost in the mix as we're talking about the drama and the bullshit and all that. They've done a lot for themselves. And they're iconic. People know these women on the street. You can walk by. You know who the housewives are. And that's a testament to them. So I thought it was cool that we got to have this moment where everyone gets kind of propped up where it's like, hold on.

Let's put aside the bullshit for a second. And look what we've done, ladies. High five all around. So I thought that was cool too. It was a cool scene. Yeah. Now, did you think it was equally cool that we got a scene with Vicky sitting down with Giselle and Portia talking about how she's been opening up and feeling a little bit more comfortable around everyone? And now we're sitting our sights on the wind.

How did that make you feel? It made me feel good. it made me feel good because here's the thing i don't need vicky to be at the forefront and i don't need vicky to get pressed because like you said earlier we know how she's going to react luan getting pressed is a very different thing wildly different than vicky getting pressed you know what luan does she turns the dial up to a thousand she's going to be extra luan because she's going to be irritated that you ever tried to to to dim her sparkle she's going to come in full throttle. So that's going to be awesome because what irritates people in real life

about Luann are the things that I like watching the most on TV. That's why I love Luan. Yeah. So I want her to turn it up. Turn up the dial. Let's get more Luan. Get more. I think she will. And I think she'll argue with whoever is going after her while singing, which I think is incredible. And only Luan can get away with that. But I wonder if you thought the same thing that I did. I think when we're sitting down and we're talking to Porsche we're talking to Giselle like oh yeah we're going to gather Luann it's not going to go how you think it's going to go but it's still going to be very funny I think they were planning on doing it at the gangster brunch

I think they wanted to do it there but then everything got very sweet and sentimental that now they have to do it later and it's not going to work out well because Porsche shows up late to the party so now it gives Luan a little extra motivation to be like whoa whoa you can't tell me I'm rude you just showed up late to my party when everybody's here to celebrate you that's rude so we're going to have a little Rudolph, which is going to be interesting and it's not even Christmas. But I think that they wanted to do it at that lunch and then everything just got so sweet and emotional.

They're like, we can't gather Luann right now. This would look terrible. That's even better, though. That's ideal for me because what's going to end up happening is at the party later at the Halloween party. Luan's inner element. This is New York, baby. She's got her cast around.

She's got her friends around. Michael's there. She's in her pirate outfit that she's worn in seasons past. Don't get me started on Jessel talking about rewearing the same fit, repeating an outfit. I was probably going to skip over that. It's insane. Fucking nuts.

Like, kick her off the show for that. Fucking wild. But you can't come at Luann at this party. That's not going to work at all. She's going to be on cloud 30, let alone cloud nine. She's going to be singing, dancing, drinking, surrounded by support. and you're going to be tardy to the party and then try and press Luan, that is going to go horribly for them.

It's going to go fantastically for us at home. It's going to be peak Luan, which I'm very excited to see, and we wouldn't have gotten that at the lunch because it would have been too close quarters. So this is the better situation. Yeah, the way I see it playing out, Luan refuses to give up the microphone,

and she fully goes after Porsche for being rude. to Porsche claps back, but Luann's still talking to the microphone so everybody can hear it. That's how I hope it plays out. The rest of it, obviously, you know, you get drop-ins from, you know, people of seasons past. It was good to see Alex McCord. It's good always to see Dorinda show up, even though, like you said, Jessel, for whatever reason, said that she shouldn't re-wear something. Like, the whole point of this show is to talk about the iconic moments and to be fun. Do that.

He came as a hockey player, dude. No, she came as Shane Hollander, but even still, it's like it was relevant at the time. But it's not, yeah, it's still good at the time. Like, it's a good costume. But getting on your high horse to Derinda and saying, well, I'm into fashion. I would never do that. It's like, you're currently making a fashion line over Carolyn's dead best friends. Like, what are we doing here?

Like, that's, if anything, that's uncouth. Don't talk to Durinda like that. That's very, very well said. Yeah, you're the one being uncouth. So cooth yourself and get the fuck out of here. That pissed me off so much. It was just such a little like, we are here for the golden age of Bravo.

That's what we're doing on this whole thing. They paved the way for you in that outfit. How dare you? The gall, the audacity of that woman to question. Repeating an outfit. Yeah, because it's fucking iconic. What do you want her to do? Where hockey outfit?

And yeah, Shane Hollander. So, yeah, props to her. But, like, yeah, I thought that was wildly disrespectful. It shows how out of touch just, uh, Jessel is. And that's kind of something that's an issue with her and her actual show is that she doesn't really know what's going on with the group. But that also just made me think about Roney that we get to questions is like, the things that I'm enjoying most about the reboot is the new cast members.

The things that give me the most cause to pause is Jessel and Aaron. and they didn't do themselves any favors this episode. Yeah, no, they really did not. Now, let's see if everybody else enjoyed it as much as we did. It's just, it's such an easy watch, this show. It's glorious. First one up here from Von Nez, who do you guys think is Andy's favorite housewife?

I say Portia and Kyle. I mean, it's very apparent who he doesn't like, but favorite, yeah, it's Kyle, even though he didn't really seem to love Kyle at the reunion. last year from what I remember, but it's always been Kyle. It's always Porsche as well. It's always going to be Kyle. Yeah.

I don't really think there's many others that he's playing favorites with. I mean, he's not to that level. Teresa is up there. Yeah. But I would say, yeah, Porsche, he and Porsche have a great rapport. They always have. I think that Kyle, yeah, yeah, Kyle and Portia, I would say. I think it works.

Teresa, throw her in there. Mm-hmm. from Mary had a little do you think legal issues is why Miami got paused there was too much going right something just feels off about it interesting maybe I don't know what didn't Todd threatened to sue Bravo that wouldn't have no I mean yes he did I don't think that's enough to pause the show they've been threatened and sued multiple times and it has not affected filming I I originally thought that maybe Marcus Jordan and like the Jordan lawyers were going after probably because of what um larcen even even then they still showed Marcus when we were talking oh yeah they

wouldn't have done that leases least had the drop in of yeah he was getting off of his super yacht and i was getting off of a yacht that i was on so we took a picture so i'm not going to unfollow him it's like okay well he still showed him so i don't think that was it i don't know i can't think of really any other legal issues that would have come into play because everybody else was showing up so i don't need any reasons to hate Todd. If he got this show paused, like, fuck that guy. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I agree. But yeah, I, it's to answer your question. I don't think there were legal issues involved necessarily. Lindsay Bucks. Jessel, don't be too, don't be trying too hard for a moment on two shows at the same time. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. As with Lindsey Bucks.

Yeah. Exactly. Exactly that. Yeah. We also got like four or five of these. So I'll just read them all at once. From Blacksmith. Trev, Amanda Rocky's mom, sweet Sarah 10.

All this episode just proved to me is how much I miss Miami. This episode alone shows why we need Miami back. This is why we need Miami back. Drama in the first few minutes. Exactly. It is exactly why we need the back. Yeah. I think we're getting it, guys.

I do. I think we are too. It's got to be coming soon. I realize I just fired off like five questions. But it really is like everybody talking about Miami being back. and that should be the takeaway for this episode. Agreed. And I think that that's the resounding message on social media right now.

That's in every comment section, not just our questions. Everyone's talking about it. And look, if this was some kind of ploy by Bravo to force people to start talking about Miami to get all of those people that are weirdly on the fence and not watching Miami, which I have a lot of feelings about those people that just don't. seem to watch Miami that I won't get into right now. But maybe this was a push to get people discussing it so that when they drop it again, there's a bigger, what's the word? Buzz?

Buzz, thank you. It's a bigger buzz around it. So it does better in the ratings because that was the big thing with Miami for a while. Like it was so good. Like I'm talking all-star seasons with mediocre numbers and it never made sense. So if that's what it took and it works, then fine. I can go another few months without it if it helps the show in the long run. Yeah, we can let that be the takeaway. Yes. Well, this show wraps up soon, which I will be actually sad to see it go. I never thought I would be Jones in for an ultimate girls trip, but this has really been very, very well done. They've done a nice job from a production standpoint, and the cast has really

answered the bell and just had fun. They made Housewise fun again. This has been a blast. sure did. Yeah, they definitely did. Well, let's go talk about OC now and I'm going to drive off a bridge. But that's all I got. You got anything else? Nope, all good here. That's our show. Rob Rose are out of here. Don't you wish you could just hit skip on the worst parts of your life? You know the same way you can skip an ad. I get it. I'm CIA and I live in Ice Cove. I've made some questionable decisions that didn't end up the way I planned. And today I'm still figuring it out. Somehow things usually get worse before they get better.
