What's up Bros? We decided its time to bring our news episodes to the masses. Our news recaps were for members only but now theyre available to everyone! In this episode we talk about Meredith and the rumors and nastiness coming out of Salt Lake. Did she get into a fight with Britani? Is she leaving the show? We get the deets. Then onto Potomac where we have confirmation that Mia is out, and implying a move to Atlanta. Hopefully not to RHOA... In other Potomac news, it sounds like Karen will be getting out of prison in November of this year. Whether she returns to the show or not remains to be seen. This Sunday we are geared up for Love Hotel, Bravo's new dating show with Gizelle, Ashley, Shannon Storms and Countess Luann. We are hoping for the same speed as a Crappie Lake and we will be all in for this show. Another intriguing premise is the Love Island: Beyond the Villa. The entire season 6 cast minus Kordell Beckham are the main focus of a show based in LA following their lives. Finally we finish up with news out of RHOBH. Apparently Garcelle has unfollowed the whole cast including Sutton on all socials...

I'm your co-hosts and shows. I got to have me my bros and shows. Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Bros and Shows, a very special episode of Bros and Shows. I'm your co-host. Steel Russell, joined as always by the one and only newsroom Goots. I thought you were going to go breaking news, Magoutz. Oh, that would have been good, too. It's not really breaking, though. It's just a rundown. Do you want to run down on what we're doing here today?

Yeah, we're going to do a little rundown here. So, essentially, what's happening is we used to have something for our members, our beautiful members, that was a weekly news segment where we would just break down all the happenings in the Bravo world and reality TV world just to keep everybody up to date. Because we're chronically online. We see all of these things. Why not make an episode out of it to share with everybody else? We decided we're going to replace that. We're going to go ahead and give the news episode to the masses so that all of you guys can listen to us breaking down the happenings. So this way we're not doing just a recap of an episode.

We're going to tell you guys what the hell's going on in the current times because we love the current times because we don't have to keep track of timelines. So as you said, these were for our members only, but we wanted to give it to you guys as well. And we're replacing that for our members, if you are one of our beautiful members or if you'd like to become one of our members, we are replacing that with a rewatch of an OG season. of Housewives. We're leaning towards Roney Season 1 episode 1 right now but we'll do an exclusive episode every week on our members

channel of a rewatch of an OG franchise. More than likely going to be Roney. So you can look forward to that if you want to join the members program, go ahead and click the link in our Instagram bio, but that's not why we're here today. We're here to bring you the news. It's also going to be really funny because this is going to be

way more freeform. Yeah, there's going to be a little bit of structure. I get to see how you operate in the freeform world. Who me? Yeah, you love a little structure. You like to have your notebook. You got all these stuff. That's what you think? All the things written down.

Oh, you think you're going to do better with this? You think I like that? Oh, I think you love it. I think you need it. I am not a structured person. I never have been. I had to take notes because I forget things. Fair, okay.

That's my current events are good because I like, I scroll all day long because we have to for the podcast. We've got to keep everyone up to speed on our Instagram. That's why we scroll all day long. It's not because I'm bored in the office. It's both. I mean, I don't have an office. I mean, I'm working really hard in the,

office. Yeah. Guys. Yeah, boss. Shooter's boss. He's totally working hard. Do you want to just get into it? I think we should just get into it because we've got a few topics that we need to discuss

today. We're going to start off here with what the hell is happening in Salt Lake City. I know, dude. And it's making me nervous. And normally I would be stoked when we get drama coming out in between, like we're in the off season because you're like, oh, cool, they're filming right now. So this is going to be lit. We've got a lot to look forward to.

This is different because this might be somebody leaving the show. I don't. So this is what's happening. We'll just catch everybody up right now. If you've been online recently, you may have seen that there's rumors circulating one Meredith Marks in potential suspension based on what could have happened while they were filming. We do know that they are filming the Salt Lake City. I guess they're getting towards the end of the season at this point because they did start

filming a few weeks ago or maybe a couple of months ago at this point. Well, if it's weeks, they're not close to film. Yeah. Well, how long is the season? Three months? You literally said the nice thing about current events is we don't have timelines. Well, all right. Let's just go under the guise that these seasons take about two, three months to film.

Okay. I feel like we have to be at least halfway past that point because we've been hearing about them filming different things pretty much since the Bronwyn news dropped, where Bronwyn was her past was dug up. Well, apparently, she was. was indicted or charged with identity theft and then people kept digging and there's other stuff she was to the point where they had a cast trip and she couldn't make it on time because she was dealing with the fallout of the identity theft stuff that being said we haven't seen anything come from that from a legal standpoint well apparently lisa dug it up so i did see something recently that said and it kind of broke down every cast member and what they're doing

okay uh now there is some bias here because it does come from a mary cosby stan account but it broke down pretty much everybody and then the only one who didn't really have anything was just heather and it was just you know sleeping uh emojis like snooze fest but apparently lisa brings it up yeah Lisa brings it up and that's kind of a focal point for the whole season is the Lisa Bronwyn relationship so we'll have to see how that goes out but back to meredith we never got any sort of details as to what it was that she did it was just a sort of that she was spiraling and she did something that caused a suspension. Now, this came from a fan account.

It came from, you know, unconfirmed rumors, unconfirmed sources, and people just kind of ran with it. And it got to the point that Meredith had to post a picture on Instagram, just a selfie, pretty much in a very cryptic way, saying, I'm not going anywhere. I don't know what this is about. Can you go ahead and read us that post? Yeah, unless she's deleted it by now. Who the hell knows?

While he's searching for that, I'll fill you guys in as well. So the rumor points to, I guess Lisa dug it up, you said? She dug up the identity theft stuff. She dug up the identity theft. Who dug up the shit on Meredith? Because she went after. There's no idea. Okay.

So apparently somebody on the show dug up some information pointing to Seth having an affair. And that started to blow up out of proportion. Obviously, we've been talking about this for years. There's been rumors and nastiness about potentially something weird happening. We know Seth's schedule flying back and forth from Ohio. every single week is a little weird. So I guess something came to light or somebody pushed something to the surface.

I don't know if any of this is true or not. I don't think it is true. And here's the caption. It just says, jealousy is a disease to which I say, get well soon. Hashtag Roslich. So the timing of that is obviously

pretty intentional. Okay. With all of the rumors that were going on. Somebody did, and I've looked on Twitter a lot. And again, these are all unconfirmed sources. There's nothing specifically from Meredith or anybody on the show or any producers, but somebody did say today, these are not confirmed.

She was not suspended. I can tell you that much. And people kind of ran with that one, too. Okay. It is very easy to just throw a rumor out there in the Housewife world, especially when they're filming, and especially knowing when they do that, and we know this because we try to get people to interview with us when they're filming. Yeah.

They can't do any interviews. Most of the time, Bravo steps in and says, not right now. Check in with us after the season's done. but right here it says and this is from our friends over at reality t the source added she wouldn't be surprised that the call was coming from inside the house and brittany bateman was leaking all of this herself to stay relevant meredith and brittany getting some pretty nasty altercations and have had some blowout fights but nothing that warrants a suspension everything on here points to this is a rumor uh it says an insider says that meredith was not suspended but the Things are pointing towards Brittany because I guess she's stirring the pot this year, which makes a lot of sense. If I had to pick somebody that was going to be starting some random rumors, I would think, Brittany. She strikes me as the type that when she realizes that she's getting under your skin, she just keeps going. I would agree.

I think also she strikes me as someone that would hear in passing, like someone make a Seth joke. Oh, yeah. Oh, Seth's cheating on Meredith. That too. Granted, we've all been making those jokes, but that's... We have. If mistresses in Ohio You can't fly to Ohio every week

and not get some affair jokes, all right? It's just, it's par for the course. What do you want me to do? We just have to keep doing it. The good thing is, if she's not suspended, because lover or hater, she is an integral part of that show, this will make for a good drama during the season.

Now we get to look forward to Brittany and Meredith hashing it out. That's going to be a lot of fun because they're so polar opposites. Like, if you had to, pick two people on the cast that are the most different, I would argue it's Brittany and Meredith. Yeah, for sure. And it also kind of makes me feel happy about what state we're in. This could have easily just been a Lisa Bronwyn all season type of thing.

Hearing that there's a Meredith and Brittany thing sounds like comedic relief to me. Yeah. So that's great because we had a little break from there. And the other source that I was kind of going through on Twitter said that it looks like we do get, I guess it's Angie and Mary coming to Bronwyn's aid against Lisa. So I actually really like that. So it's gearing up to be, and we already knew this because last season was spectacular, the season before that kind of set everything in motion, it's gearing up to be another

great season of Salt Lake, and I can't wait for it to come out. I'm really excited for it, too. I think it's going to be another solid season. There's so much setting the tone of what we want these new casts and shows to look like. So I'm looking forward to it. I don't think we have any reason to be alarmed. I don't think she's leaving the show.

I don't think she was suspended all of our sources that we've read. There's no actual evidence, is what I'm seeing. Nobody has like a smoking gun. It's sort of like towards the end of last season and after the reunion aired, we heard rumors that Lisa was talking about leaving because she couldn't handle it anymore. She's not going anywhere. That came up again, like recently. So this is what happens.

We get bored with what's going on. We were talking about Beverly Hills, which is a snooze fest. So people start digging and seeing things and hearing things. And then somebody makes a post, somebody runs with it. And then you get a big rumor that somebody has to address the elephant in the room. Now, I do believe that it gets to a point where it's probably like, oh, shit, they're really going at it. But the implication was that there was a physical altercation, which is why she was asked to be suspended.

Why we need security guards. We're big advocates of having security guards at every event. So you can just have it, you know, on hand to be like, all right, get her out of here. Yep. Meredith did it. Yeah, it was Meredith. That was Meredith. Yeah. So, God, I was trying to remember his name.

Two of them. I just remember William was Potomac Bell. I don't know if they did the names at, did they do the name tags? I don't know. But I don't think anybody hit anybody. I don't think there's actually a physical altercation. We probably would have heard about that with actual evidence from actual good sources. So I think.

Look at Atlanta. Exactly. We knew everything. It's a physical altercation, but we heard enough. Yeah, we heard. plenty about that before it went down. So I think we're good. I think everything's going as it should.

This just tells us there's a lot of drama to look forward to this season. I will also say, I, Roslick needs to come back soon. Yep. We've got Miami to sink our teeth. I'm so excited for Miami, dude. And I need this season to be the season that more people watch Miami. Yeah. Well, you know what I want to do?

I want to do a gear up for Miami. So I, me personally, I'm going to go back and start season one episode one of Miami. Love that. And I'm just going to kind of skip through all of that, enjoy myself, and just get in the right frame of mind for Miami and June. The reason why is because randomly, and Peacock will just do this to me every once in a while, it'll throw on a random episode of Orange County from, like, season seven.

It is so funny to watch those episodes now, and we're going to have such a great time with our rewatch when we do that for our members. And I'm going to tell you one thing, and you're going to love it. The music, the way that it's filmed, it feels like an HD TV show. you know how like you get a current HD TV show from 2024 that it's like house hunters yeah and it looks like it was filmed in 2004 I love that and it has that same like quirky music in the backgrounds they used all of that in like season six season seven of OC I'm looking forward to that

yeah yeah I'm really pumped when we do our rewatch for that the twisted tale of Amanda Knox is an eight episode Hulu original limited series that blends gripping pacing with emotional complexity, offering a dramatized look as it revisits the wrongful conviction of Amanda Knox for the tragic murder of Meredith Kircher and the relentless media storm that followed. The twisted tale of Amanda Knox is now streaming only on Disney Plus. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything, like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared.

But I do want to segue into, and you brought up Potomac, Mia Thornton. We got a lot of Potomac news this week. Gone. She's out of here. Don't let the door hit you. And do not. Don't, this is what pisses me off. You want me to read her post?

We're going to have to. We're going to have to. That's the other thing we have the freedom to do during these episodes is actually look things up and read them to you. This is what pisses me off. She's leaving the show. One, she makes it seem like, and this is, I can't hold her at fault any more so than other housewives because there are anyone on Bravo, for that matter?

Over the past three years, we've watched, I don't know how many, five to ten people not asked to come back. They all frame it as though, I've made the decision to not come back to the show. It's like, you were never coming back to the show. You were the only bad part of Potomac. You and Jacqueline ruined an otherwise fairly decent season. So for her to go and make this post, like, it's just the right time for me to move on and then have the balls to imply that you're going to Atlanta. Don't you dare. Well, yeah, she's, she is implying that. Now, she did make three posts. Oh, good God. Do less. First post is just her holding a newspaper.

The Miami-Mor Times, the Miamore Times, I don't know. The Miamor Times. I thought she was doing like a play on Miami. Mia Moore. That's kind of what-Mia Moore. Yeah, whatever. Jesus. She doesn't deserve me to actually know what the fuck she's talking about.

And it just says, coming soon. And she says, the headline is mine to write. The legacy is mine to build. The Miamore Times is coming, and she's bringing everything with her. You would think that would be enough. Is she starting a newspaper? Maybe she is. You would think that would be enough.

And then you could kind of go into your news. No, we're going to do one more post about coming soon, in the me and more times. Not just a headline. I am the story. The countdown has begun. Power presence purpose. The queen is coming.

Me and more times. What? I don't fucking know. And then finally she gives us what the hell we're talking about. And it's just with every new season comes a new beginning and I have some news to share.

My family and I have made the decision to relocate to Atlanta. And with that, I will not be returning to the Real Housewives of Potomac. Which family? Who's going? Good point. Is ink involved?

Is G going? Or is you leaving him in the apartment? I don't know. She doesn't actually expand on that, really. It's just a bunch of thank yous. Next chapter is already full of exciting opportunities, and I cannot wait to take you all along for the ride. I will not be signing up for that ride.

Thank you. No. Big things are coming. I don't just make headlines I make history. Atlanta, brace yourselves. The empire has expanded. What empire? I don't know.

Everything's closing. All the joints are closing. You don't own them. You took us to the joint that you are no longer involved. in and had the most awkward massage demonstration. Like, that 10-minute segment that we got during the season was the most uncomfortable I've been watching Bravo. It made no sense to me.

Nobody there was having a good time. And again, I get flustered because you know what the implication is there. I'm going to Atlanta. Therefore, look out real housewives of Atlanta. If they put her on a good cast that is doing. a good job. She couldn't stand up to any of them. She would have her lunch ate every single day. But my whole point is that shows doing well. We've already survived the Kenya fallout and they're still doing well. So that's a great sign. Do not. If Bravo puts Mia on Atlanta,

I'm not watching Atlanta. Do you know what her headline is on Instagram? What? Mom, mogul, investor, CEO. Of what? Of what? Fuck if I know. Or what? Nothing anymore. Or what? This is actually, and it's funny because before we started filming, I was just kind of like scrolling Instagram just to see it.

Oh, before you and I was filming? Yeah. Oh, nice. Just to see what the hell was going on. And I saw that I still followed Taylor and Green. I'm like, why do I do this? See you. Bye.

Later. I never followed me here, though, to be fair. We didn't follow from our account either. I didn't need to see what was going on with me. I definitely don't need to see what's going on now. And I swear to God, I swear to God, if she tries to get a foot in the door, of Real Housewives of Atlanta. If I even see a friend of moment,

I'm going to lose my shit. She does not belong on TV anymore. Move on. And we're going to move on. Yeah, let's keep going to go on. To the next topic. I'm going to give you two choices here. I like that.

You can keep a Potomac centric. Let's, yeah, let's finish up on Potomac. We'll finish up Potomac. And this isn't really like substantiated news, but it looks like it's heading in this direction. It looks like Karen's probably going to get out in November. Yeah, that's all. signs are pouring into quote unquote good behavior so she's getting out

ever so slightly early when was she supposed to get out January or February when was her trial January or February and then it was you know what I really originally supposed to be like two years and whatever and whatever and it never lasts I mean Jen Shaw is going to get out probably this year too so who knows Jen Shaw keeps getting like years removed from her sentence every time she's in the headlines like two more months two more months and she's hanging out with the Oh, fuck.

The Theranos lady. Yeah. They're, like, paling around, working out together, and she's getting out, I think, two years early. I used to merge with Anadelvie. It's not Anadelvie. No, she was the con artist. Yeah. Yeah.

What was that show? She's famous out, too. The Theranos was also a con artist, but, yeah. That's a good point, but Anna Delvey just pretended to have money. Yeah. And that was her thing. But you know what? Good for her.

She's rich again, by the way, because she got out and wrote a book and, like, everyone bought it. Smart. Maybe that was the long game. Don't hate the player, hate the game. You know what? But yeah, so for Karen, I mean, they're going to start filming, and they've already said they're not waiting for her to start filming.

There's no way. There's no way she comes back. So we're probably going to have a full season without Karen. What they do after that is, you know, I don't even know. I imagine she'll come back. She has so much to make up for if she comes back. Right. The way that she handled this whole thing was absolutely insane. She got denied work order.

Yeah. because I'm assuming the judge involved was like, did you watch how she handled this? Like, she doesn't deserve work order because she didn't even act like she didn't even wrong. Ralph in the basement. It's a huge Bravo fan. Well, that, whoever Ralph's judge is, is somewhat team Ralph because Drew got smoked in court in last week's episode. She wanted three things and she got none of them. So apparently that judge likes Ralph.

But as far as Karen goes and we'll just talk about like her returning to the show. If she comes back, it has to be so genuine that she's on a forgiveness tour and, like, taking accountability for everything she's done. The way she handled that whole thing, I don't want her back. I don't think she deserves to come back. And I think that Potomac has a good enough cast to go on without her. I think that you'll also, and this is important because if you look at Atlanta, right, and you look at what other show did her shakeup. Atlanta. Roney?

Roney, no, because they did a full reboot. That's a different. I mean, O.C. pretty much did a shake-up last year. And Salt Lake, you know, the core group is still there, but they keep inserting other people. And they brought Mary back. They did shake it up a little bit. What my point is, the shows that are doing well now have done enough to change the direction of the show that we're watching. It's no longer callbacks to the shows that everybody's used to back in the day.

it's taken a different direction in a positive way. That's something that Potomac now is the chance to do, because you got rid of Robin, Karen's not there anymore, Mia's gone, who was the big problem last season. Now you've got a cast of women. Everyone's kind of got a fresh approach to it. We saw a totally different Giselle last season. We saw a totally different Wendy last season.

So what they're giving them the chance to do is like, here you go. The show is pretty much yours now. The Grand Dame is gone. The pain in the ass is gone. What can you ladies do with you? it. And I'm, I'm confident that that cast can put together a fun season, drama-filled, and take this show in a new direction. I think that if you bring Karen back, what are we talking about all season? Yeah, and we're going to have to do that eventually, because I just don't see a

world in which they don't bring her back after she gets out. I think we're going to have one interesting season where, yeah, we'll have the first couple episodes this next season where they talk about Karen. Yeah, but then we need to move past it. And look, I think what we've learned from last season is, Giselle understands the assignment. Robin's gone. You need to fill a different role here. Yeah.

You can't just be with Robin the whole time. You can't find somebody to replace her. You have a much, much bigger shoes to fill. A much more important role. And she figured it out. She did great. She took the show in the right direction.

Wendy started coming into her own finally because she wasn't under everybody else's shadow. She wasn't getting into petty fights anymore. Mia obviously tried to take the show in a different direction, and she couldn't. Because it was bad. Yeah, exactly. So, and with that, and with Giselle and Ashley being on this Love Hotel show, they're going to have a little bit more exposure.

They're going to be able to step up in a bigger way. I don't really care for Ashley that much, but she's very good for the show. Yeah. So it works out well, and obviously they can kind of plug and play different people, depending on who's, you know, around the Potomac area that you can put in there that isn't traveling from Atlanta up to my, or up to Potomac every fucking week to go film. So I think it's, it's in a good direction. I don't see this Mia news. I don't see Karen being in prison as a bad thing for the show at all. I think we're going to be able to find and plug in new blood.

And with the existing characters that we have, I think it's going to work out well. When do we get cameras in a prison? There's enough Bravo people in jail or having been in jail. I don't know why we don't get to go to prison. I want to go to prison. Well, whoa. I don't want to go to prison. Let's go to prison?

Very underrated movie. Extremely underrated movie. Was it, Dax Shepard? Yep, Will or not. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's a great movie. I don't want to go there, but I do want cameras to go there. And there has to be, in this day and age, some warden that's like,

well, they're in, like, these white-collar crime prisons, too. You can put cameras in there. Definitely put cameras in there. So let's do that. There probably is cameras in the Jen Shaw-Theranos camp. There's got to be, right? I feel like there is, and it's going to be a Hulu show or something. Have you seen the pictures?

It's so fucking funny. They're like playing tennis. They're doing yoga. It's like, is this a camp or is there's a prison? Yeah, like baby goat yoga in there. They probably do, honestly. They're probably able to like actually trade stock still too. Oh, yeah.

They definitely have like a full business center where you can go in and do some, and you get some really good insider trading. Instead of them making license plates, they're just making stock exchanges. They're making exchanges and insider trading because they're all in there for white collar crimes. That's, see, give me cameras. I want to watch that. That would be funny. That would be great.

But let's keep trucking. And you said Love Hotel, which is a show that's coming out on Bravo next month. Next week. Next week. Oh, and we'll see how that goes. That's going to be those shows for me fall under the crappy lake umbrella. Yeah, I think it's, and we don't really know. I think we did actually look this up at one point.

It's six episodes, I think. Okay. Which is like the perfect amount. Yeah, you don't need any more. The perfect amount, it's such a good bridge show for the, the Bravo schedule, it takes us right into June. If it's eight episodes, I'm still okay with it. Once you get into that 9-10 territory, it's done.

Yeah, way too much. Let's look up, I think we did this before, but the cast of this show. It's just Giselle, Ashley, Luann, and Shannon. And I forgot that JKB hosts this thing. It's hosted by Joel Kim Booster, who we met, who didn't seem to like us very much. We didn't really talk to him. They probably didn't know who we were. Yeah, I hope that's what it was.

I don't know. He made a, he made a, uh, a remark to Andy when we were on Watch What Happens Live, like, pretty much saying, like, straight guys don't belong in this, in this universe. As we were standing five feet behind him at the bar. Big thumbs up, big smile. We both thumbs up. Yep. We're like, that's what we're here for. So, yeah, that's going to be interesting.

But that's not what I want to talk about. It was just the Love Hotel gets us over to Love Island. Mm-hmm. So Peacock is putting together or has put together a show. It's the last season's cast of Love Island. Last season's cast of the U.S. version of Love Island. Okay. Minus a few key players, but most of the famous people are coming back.

And it's going to be following their foyer into the new world with their new careers and all their newfound publicity. And it's going to be pretty interesting. Originally when it popped up because it's called like Beyond the Villa or something. Yeah, it's Love Island Beyond the Villa. I thought it was going to be a summer house type of show where we throw them back into a house together and just see how it goes. It's not, it's them living their day-to-day lives and obviously they're going to be together a lot of the time. So we'll have to see how it goes.

This could be one of those that it could be never discussed again or this could take off. It has the chance to do both. Look, the people that really liked Love Island did I watch a lot of Love Island last year, they're still following these people a lot. So it's not like they missed an opportunity. They didn't do it soon enough or anything like that. that. O'Dell Beckham's brother is not in the show, which is interesting because his girlfriend is in it. So I'm not really sure what's going on there. But I think it's going to be a good enough type of one-off show, especially for a peacock show where you can just kind of throw it on randomly.

But I do think it's going to be airing around the same time as the next season's Love Island. Let's see. It comes out summer 2025. So we don't have an exact date. It just says set to premiere, summer 2025 will follow former islanders around Los Angeles as they navigate new careers, evolving friendships, and newfound fame. The cast consisting of Serena Page, Jana Craig, Aaron Evans, Miguel Harici, Leah Ketab, Kaler, Martin, Connor Newsome, Kenny Rodriguez, Olivia Walker, and Kendall Washington. So that's the whole cast. As you said, Cordell Beckham is not going to be involved with this one.

But this has a chance. And, like, I like Peacock being the test ground for things. because that's what they did with Miami when they came back after that long pause. And it was great. And I love the fact that you can just kind of watch it through. Didn't they do Miami uncensored that first season when they were back? I think so, yeah.

Peacock shows should always be uncensored. They should, honestly. And most of us watch this the next day. I know that certain episodes, certain reunions, you want to watch it live. You want to see what's going on. But if we're watching on Peacock's next day, just uncensored it. Right?

There's no reason. I know they edit it. And this is probably just trying to get away from like what Bravo does, but Bravo tends to edit things so that, like, we don't really hear many bleeps when it comes to, especially Housewife shows. Yeah, the one-off's like Southern Charm and VPR and Summerhouse, we're going to hear a lot more. But those shows should be uncensored the next day.

I think that the, or have the option. Yeah. Do you want to watch it uncensored? Yeah. We're grown-ups, kind of. Yeah. I mean, we need that capability. But it's going to be interesting.

And look, I agree with you. Peacock should be doing this. This should be the experimental phase. for Bravo. You're right. Let's throw something out there. It's reality TV-centric. If we can get them on a contract, see how it goes.

See if people are going to watch it. And I think this is still, and we're still in the realm of Peacock trying to expand its audience. So they're trying to bring in all the land. Look, Love Island's on Peacock. So, like, those people do watch it. But enough people have probably picked up, oh, who are these people? These are Love Island people. I'll watch Peacock and I'll get to watch more of them.

So it makes more sense to do that. But, yeah, I don't know. Like the fucking NextGen show. should be a peacock show. That 1,000% should be a peacock show. There's no reason for that to be straight to the network. But I'm excited for this one because I like the fact that it's taking the Love Island. It's somewhat merging those two worlds.

It's like this is what we're used to watching in a reality TV setting. You take that wacky dating show set up and you combine the two. It could make for really interesting TV alongside of the fact that obviously they're going to keep running with Love Island USA. So clearly they're trying to experiment. and test the waters to be like, do we have a pipeline? Because this show is so polarizing. Like, everybody talks about it and watches the show. Yeah.

We need more from these characters. So can we pluck them and put them into this next reiteration of Love Island? I think that it makes a lot of sense. Tim's new scrambled egg loaded croissant.

Which takes me to another point that's really interesting, if it manifests, and I think that we're going to see, because Paige has made references of, you know, her time on Summer House may be coming to an end.

Ariana has also made references. I would love for Paige to be on Love Island. I think she would have a blast. I'm not saying that's going to happen, but I don't think that's going to happen. I do see a world where we get a different show from Paige in the future. I'm not sure what that looks like. I could honestly see if this love hotel thing works. Where she goes over.

Bravo can start doing that with, you know, various housewives. And they tend to skew the age groups anyway with somebody like Ashley with Jazele, with Shannon, with Luann. You could throw like a page and, you know, Ariana's too big now, but throw a page and... Page is getting to that point. Honestly, a page in Sierra, throw them out there and then put like two housewives who were single on there and just see how it goes. And you can do that every year in like a six, seven episode format. and just see and then that'll give you enough ratings and it gives us something to talk about too and i think that's what bravo's trying to do now is fill in the gaps that we had because last

year obviously they had that big lull i'm assuming it's because they're trying to figure out ways to captivate a new audience you do that with things like this the love island uh love hotel i don't know why there's not season two of crappy lake and just send them to another podong town somewhere that was a no-brainer for me up to but i just i'm glad that that you're not that i'm glad that they're trying to branch out. I'm glad they're trying to figure some different ways forward. I just get nervous that it's like, is it too late? Are people too accustomed to what they watch on Bravo that you try to mix it up? It's like, yeah, I don't like this. This is new. I don't like change, but they need to change. I agree. They have to change. Times are changing. Times they are

changing. And they're changing on Beverly Hills, too. Our last thing that I want to discuss is Garcell's departure. Obviously, we talked about it at length on our recap of the reunion. union, but the fallout from it is almost more interesting than the reunion itself. Actually, it is way more interesting because the reunion sucked. Yep. The fallout from it has been very interesting because... Very interesting. I mentioned in our recap, I was like, I don't think that Garcel and Sutton have talked

since this happened. Confirmation of that comes in because Garcel went and unfollowed the entire cast, including Sutton, but did not unfollow Sutton's businesses, to the point that Sutton commented on that, saying, well, she still supports my businesses. What did Garcel do the next day? Immediately unfollowed all of her businesses. Correct.

And that was actually kind of funny because it was highlighted by a lot of content creators showing that. And that's something that, like, we'll probably never do. Go in and search for followers. Not in a million years. But enough people did, and they screenshot it, and they put it out there.

And look, you're doing the Lord's work. We appreciate that. But it was funny because you would type in Sutton and you would just see like Sutton concepts, Sutton designs, Sutton clothing, and no actual Sutton's track. She brought that up and I guess it was in a different interview or somebody asked for a comment and that's what happened the very next day Garcel dropped all of those as well. Like you know what?

No, we're done. And look, this is the clean break that honestly I was kind of expecting. Yeah, the Sutton thing, they could still be friends in the long run. Who knows what's going to happen there? Down the line, probably. Garcel, after the season airs, after all of that. that happens. After all the dumb bullshit backlash that she was getting where people were like, oh, yeah, you should have stayed around. How dare you leave? That was so stupid. You can't do this

to these women. Like, no, she doesn't need the show. Clean break. Full clean break. She doesn't need to follow any of them. She's probably not following Bravo stuff anymore. She's probably not doing anything. She's not in communication with them. She's moving on to the rest of her life, which is what she wants to do. Why are we all surprised that she's doing that? That's the funny part. Are people surprised? Yeah. Really? Yeah. Why? If you're going in and searching followers and who she's following and you're seeing that she unfollowed everybody,

they're surprised. That doesn't make sense. I'm on your page where it's like, yeah, I'm separated, even if she still wants to be friends with a couple of them. It's also social media. It's just so fucking, who cares? Isn't that so funny that that's a thing now?

Did you hear so and so and so unfollowed so and so? All the people, like, I'll see it on TikTok every once in a while. Someone will be like, here's how you find out if you're following somebody who's not following you back. I'm like, you just search them, figure out if they're probably like. And also, I don't fucking care. Like, not in a million years,

am I looking to see if somebody still following it? She's not on the show anymore. She doesn't have to have these forced friendships anymore. She's moving on with her life. She's gone. She's done. She's unfollowing them. She's coming back in something.

She's coming back in something. I don't know what it is. She'll bounce over to Vanderpump Villa. I think that's the route or just not even. We're friends with LVP. Not even. She could go over to Vanderpump rules, the new season of that. Because Oliver's on it.

It makes a lot. Oh, he's not. No, no, no, no, no. He's done. He is done with Bravo. He's not doing anything, yeah. Oh, good for him. Yeah.

That's nice. Yeah, that was something, I think they asked LVP that and they asked Garcel that. And Garcell said, no, absolutely not. He's done with it. He had that one little, like, this and that. And then he was on VPR and, like, flirting with Lala. He had that messy. I think there was some other shit going on.

They were like, yeah, no, we're not doing this anymore. He ended up making out with somebody and. You made out with Rquel, didn't he? That's right. Yeah. But Lala was hitting him. on him he made out with Raquel she said that he had a girlfriend he said that oh yeah that shit got messy as hell yeah we kind of try to block out that last season yeah that was that was such

miserable run well that that season was good it was the season after that was yeah i yeah well i good i put in quotes it was good because of the most ridiculous scandal in bravo history with the scandal all i still laugh at how big that got oh yeah like it's fucking insane same but with that we do have van der pump villa coming out soon which we're excited about it is a i believe they drop it all at once unfortunately um so we're going to be recapping that two at a time i believe two or three at a time depending they're quick they're easy to watch it's a great show if you haven't seen it yet it's a very very good like what do i put on right now throw it on in the background and you will find yourself paying attention to it with the addition of

Stasi and Bo coming back to reality TV. I think it's going to hit a little bit harder than it did last year. And then on top of that, we got Mom Talk returning Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. So we're actually going to be dropping some of our original episodes from last season. So you guys can run through those, get ready for this next season. That's another one. If you haven't watched that, that show's amazing. That's a doozy.

That's such a ridiculous, amazing show. And I think that this season they're bringing on some of the other swingers. More moms? more moms the more moms ha but remember that was our big thing is like some of these people had to have been involved in the in the threesomes and shit they're gonna bring them in they're coming in so we get to talk about all of it so uh so we got all that to look forward to but if you liked this episode this format we're gonna keep tweaking it this is the first run through for the masses and i have an idea for this since we typically you know as everybody knows we do questions towards the end of these

shows I think what we'll do maybe next week before we record this the day before we record this I'll put out a little feeler I'll let you guys know that we're doing a news episode and it's going to air you know or we're going to record the next day get your topics in we'll pick a couple of topics and we'll talk about them I got another idea because that'll keep it fresh because sometimes we know this and everybody else listening to this knows this there's not a lot to talk about when it comes to bravo there's not a lot of news so we'll talk about the topics that you guys want to talk about in a much more free form setting we can just go back and forth and then branch off into tangents love it i love it we enjoy doing stuff like this so hopefully you do too if you want

to leave us some feedback in the dms we would love to hear from you to know what you liked what you didn't like well don't say that just tell us what you liked don't tell me what you didn't like yeah i don't yeah come on now but i will also say you know what we could do well and it's really easy to set up you set up a voicemail oh let's do that all right we'll do we'll do Do both. Yeah, we'll start tweaking. We'll have a voice mail segment, and then we'll do a question segment at the end. I like this.

You'll be able to call in and we'll play your voice on the show. Yeah. Hell yeah. There we go. Fuck, I've got to figure out how to do that. It can't be that. That's all right. So many people do that.

We've got a week to figure it out. I'll figure it out. We'll try to have it as it stands right now, because like Steele said, we've got Bannerp ville is coming out this week, so we'll kind of fill in the cracks here and there with some episodes. We've got Love Hotel comes back on Sunday as well. And then obviously we've got Mom Talk coming back and Miami coming back and all these types of things. So we will most likely, it seems like Tuesday is our free day. Yeah.

We'll be doing our news episodes on Tuesdays. So just kind of gear up for that. They'll be out on Wednesdays and just kind of go off of that. Yeah. And just we're going to keep tweaking it. By the end of this, we're working towards something. Okay. And this is our kind of our test runs to work towards a final product that we will unveil to you when we feel like we're ready for that.

As you know, we take our sweet-ass time to do things. Certainly do. So we'll keep the updating. This is the beginning stages of that bigger thing, though. Yes, it is. So we already started it. Oh, wow, that's a good point. So we're not taking our sweet-ass time.

We're getting into it. We did it. Yeah. Nice. We have been talking about this for like three. Shut the fuck up. Why? Like, we were cool.

No, we didn't. Yeah. We came about today. Yeah. You got anything else? Nope. Yeah, that's our show. Bro, you got to go.
