Bros & Shows - Rough Week for RHOA (RHOA Full Recap)

Episode Date: June 19, 2025

What's up Bros? We dont think Atlanta had a bad season overall. It wasn't the best but it certainly wasn't the worst. But we aren't sure what to do with this episode... This was difficult to discuss ...due to the lack of anything worth discussing. It feels like all potential issues have either been squashed or the ladies are just choosing to move on. We can chalk it up to the Brit effect. Because she is at the center of multiple issues this season, it seems like the other ladies dont have time for Brit. So now we have everyone just quietly agreeing to move on from the issues. Jab Jab looked amazing and we can also credit Kelli for one of the first succesful trips as far as bringing the group back together. There is enough in this group to make a good show. But the producers need to sit down and map out a better plan because the issues have caught up to this season and this was a nearly unwatchable episode in our humble opinion...

The twisted tale of Amanda Knox is now streaming only on Disney Plus. season definitely took a turn i don't want to do this anymore i'm tired grandpa let's do
Starting point is 00:01:06 a damn bad i'm your co-s and shows i gotta have me my pros and shows bros and shows bros and shows i got to have me my bros and shows good afternoon everybody welcome back to another episode of bros and shows i'm your co-host steel russell joined as always by the one and only Shooter McHooder. What's up, dude? Very serious tone. Super serious. For a very serious show.
Starting point is 00:01:34 I want to do something real quick. Rebirth. We're in Grenada. We go, fuck. I already messed this up. I was just going to do like a one sentence summary of the episode. I feel like that's what we need. I could do that.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Yeah. This is episode three. Is this rebirth? Jab, jab. That's what I was trying to think. I can remember what it was called. Yeah, rebirth. Yeah, rebirth.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Jab, Jab, somebody stole or is trying to steal somebody's hair person. Big hat. Big hat. Good night, everybody. This is stupid. I don't know what this was. This is, yeah, this is kind of what we thought was going to happen. We've exhausted all the storylines.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Everything's done. It seems like everybody's just kind of over it. They're trying very hard to reignite something with Britt. They're poking and poking to see if they can get anything to get out. And there's just nothing. There's nothing here. now we're watching a bunch of ladies hang out in Grenada and literally just hang out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:32 And honestly, on cast trips, when there's a lot of things going on during the season and we get to the point where they're on a trip and they're having fun, we love that. Oh, yeah. We love to see them have fun. Nothing has happened to this season. No. And they're having some fun. Because we've gotten to the point now at the end of the season because this was episode 15. Drew and Portia have squashed their beef.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Angela has squashed her shit with everybody. Shemia has squashed her shit with everybody. There's no real drama. And I don't need drama and people being tense and mad at each other to have a good show. But there's just nothing to really watch now. Like, I don't know. They should have ended this season after like 12 episodes. I didn't even think it was on last night.
Starting point is 00:03:17 I went, I spent a lot of time on Twitter, a lot of time on TikTok. Usually I see a couple things here and there about Atlanta. There was nothing. And then when I went to Peacock, it wasn't in my continue watching. I'm like, oh, that makes sense. Peacock didn't post it. Bravo didn't put it on last night because Love Island was on maybe. I have no idea what the situation was.
Starting point is 00:03:36 I'm like, oh, they're really dragging this out. No, they did air an episode. I don't think anybody watched. Yeah, I haven't heard any chatter either. And again, I'm just not really sure. What would they chatter about? There's nothing there. There's nothing there.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Like, there's really nothing there. The only kind of beef that we have was Britain, Kelly. Yeah. And I don't think that's going to turn into anything. And it's also so late in the season now, it's like, what is this? And also, more importantly, Don Dish soap versus oil. Yeah, like, that's what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Yep. That's what we're focused on. How to get oil off of your skin. Mm-hmm. Big hats once again. They're using nicknames because she doesn't remember anybody's name. And attractive delegates from the Grenada government. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:23 I don't know what to do with this. Like, let's start and see how fast we can get through this, honestly. Because we start out, they're doing like the night recap with Drew and Angela. They're going over everything. And I thought this could have led somewhere where they're talking about Brits' performance, the Nightfire. We talked about that last week. And Angela was like, your face.
Starting point is 00:04:45 I can't look at your face when that's going on. And she's like, well, yeah, because it's really hard not to laugh. It is. And it was really hard not to laugh while we were watching that. because we knew it was performative, but watching these two kind of just unpack everything and point out what Britt was doing, I agree with you.
Starting point is 00:05:00 I thought that they were going to take this to the rest of the group. I thought they were going to take it to, you know, try to be really messy. I know Shmiya's in the middle of a lot of shit, but bring it to Shmia. See what she thought about that performance. Nope, we're not really going to go anywhere. It's just one of those situations, I think,
Starting point is 00:05:16 where Britt is just such a non-factor, and she's just like a medakito, just like following them around, that it's like, yeah, we can laugh about, it because it was kind of funny last night but there's no point in us telling anybody it's not worth bringing this up i don't want to deal with the bullshit and then i have an inkling of hope again with bringing up the fact that her and kelly seem like they're not actually that close we're seeing all these cracks in their friendship but here's the problem when it's two newbies we love kelly
Starting point is 00:05:43 i think kelly's a great addition to this show i hope that next season she is back for another run i don't care about brit yeah so if britt's feuding with kelly it's not like you know, Portia and Shemia, where I cared about their friendship ever so slightly more. Still not a lot, but a little bit more. With these two, I don't care if you guys are friends. I didn't even know who you were until this year. They're just, it's in such a weird place, I think, because it's Britt, that's the focal point. That's exactly why.
Starting point is 00:06:10 That it's just not enough for anybody to really care. But at what point in the season as producers, are they looking at this and going, shit, Brit is at the center of most of the stuff going on this season, and she's not very good at this. I don't know. Dude, I have no idea. And, like, we, obviously, we talk about it as much as possible, but, like, we did hear that this was a dumpster fire of a season when they were filming. And then it started off fine.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Yeah, we thought it was for the Kenya thing. Yeah. And then we heard the, uh, fager was coming back and we're like, uh, what are we doing here? Weird timing, but okay. Weird timing. And now we find out she's only in the last couple episodes, but this is not really what I expected. I just thought it was, we can't get these women on the same page. They hate each other's guts.
Starting point is 00:06:52 And it's like, all right, well, we might be able to find. find something in here. No. If you can edit around it, sure. Instead, it's just, I think producers realized, fuck, we've got rid at the center of this. How are they going to, exactly. The person who didn't even go to the reunion? At some point, they looked at what they had and went, uh, shit.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yeah. Or I hope they did, because that's what we're watching. And instead of going, oh, shit, I'm on my phone scrolling. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I just don't even know. The one good thing, we get an update from Shamiya, who's FaceTiming her mom. And obviously Shiloh had a little. little bit of a scare because she had a very neglectful nurse.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Yeah. This is crazy. What the fuck was that nurse doing? I don't know. Especially. She was dressed up in like a parka? She was in like a jacket, a blanket, and a hat. But the baby had nothing.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Not a blanket, not like a big onesie, nothing. Have you ever seen those videos of, this is going to come out so weird? But those videos of, I think it's in like Serbia, they'll have babies outside. side in the winter to, like, get them acclimated to the cold because it's so cold there all the time. Oh, yeah? Ever seen those videos? Oh.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Oh, that happens. No, what? I don't know where I was going with that. But, like, it seemed like, maybe that's, oh, that's what I was going to. Maybe the nanny was, like, got to get Shiloh, acclimated to the cold? I have no idea. That's, like, the fact that the nanny was freezing and threw on, like, a jacket and scarf and all this, and didn't think that the baby needed anything is wild.
Starting point is 00:08:21 It's ludicrous. Can't wrap my head around. Hopefully she got fired and doesn't take your other... Sued, fired, everything? All of the above. Don't fuck with Shiloh. She's gone through enough. Yep.
Starting point is 00:08:31 So, no fever the day after, which is good. And, like, hearing her mom said to hold her for over an hour for her to, like, stop shivering, it's like, that's the saddest shit ever. That nurse sucks. And Shimmy is down in Grenada, which doesn't help the situation. No, but she is self-aware enough in last episode to be like, I hate the fact that I'm here. Correct. Unlike a certain somebody that got fired from.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Potomac, who thought her kids were kidnapped and didn't do anything about it. Dad napped. Dad napped. To her friend's house. Never mind. It's not even worth it. It's not even worth it. Let's get to Cynthia and Portia.
Starting point is 00:09:07 And here's where you heard a recap in the beginning. Big hat. Big hat. Huge hat. Question about the hat. That had to have its own bag, right, to check that bad boy? That hat cleared customs and got all the way through, but to me his bag didn't. that's a really good point.
Starting point is 00:09:24 It's a really good point. It's a really good point. It would have been even funnier if Shimea ran out of clothes and she just decided, I'm just going to wear this big ass hat. Cover up my whole body. You probably could. I think if you like draped it over. But Fajer joins and they're recapping the night prior once again
Starting point is 00:09:40 and talking about the donations thing, which, you know, I thought there was more here for sure. You could have really gone after the donations thing. Like, hey, let's get around the table and really hammer home that. the fact that she brought tissues and paper towels. And VEMO $250. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Like, that's something. Do I care that much? No, because I think we talked about it already. But at least you can talk about something. And I get some hope again. Fager's like, I do have a little tea and I'm like, hell yeah. Let's get that tea. And it's in regards to Kelly's glam squad.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Kelly doesn't want Britt to use her glam squad. Britt went behind Kelly's back. to try to get her glam squad. And Kelly's not cool with that. This is, again, the type of situation that would thrive in a good season of Housewives. If there was a good beef going on
Starting point is 00:10:34 that was actually somewhat interesting for like three episodes, and then this pops up, it's like, oh, fuck, this is going to be great because Housewives love their glam squad. They're very territorial about that.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Yeah. This is going to be awesome. This in this setting, okay. Yeah. it's just it's even worse when you get to the next scene with brit and kelly and it's like nothing happened nothing i don't really get it nothing really happens even in this moment with these three they bring up once again i noticed that kelly was quiet and making faces when brit was
Starting point is 00:11:08 talking last night that's a new side we haven't seen that side before i was a little confused of that too because like yeah they came in together yeah they had some rapport but i wouldn't peg them for like best friends i thought they were because that's what they made it seem like. And Kelly did go to bat for her a lot early on. Yeah, I guess. I think that this whole season's just like, it's down some sort of drain in my brain. Yeah. You know, the brain drain. Brain drain. Everybody's got a brain drain. Yeah, sure. At some point, the rest of this season just kind of, I don't know. I just like, I can't recall certain situations when they like call back to something like that when they're talking about Kelly defending Brit against Angela. I'm like, I don't remember that
Starting point is 00:11:49 happening. What are we talking about? And it was at the last. And it was at the last. And it was at the luncheon or whatever. Yeah, I guess. That's my point. I have no idea. Like, wait, what? It's just nothing that has happened to this season is really, like, resonating. I think that's the main problem.
Starting point is 00:12:02 There's nothing to really sink your teeth into, like this scene with Britt and Kelly. By the way, we are 11 minutes in, and we are almost done. We're going to tell a story at the end of this. We got to make it worth everybody's while. We'll make it worth your while. Imagine somebody, like, one of our listeners, plans their drives. Like, I got a drive to work. about a 48-minute drive-in.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Perfect time. I get to listen to an entire episode of the bros. I'm going to ask a question. I'm going to throw it in there. And instead, you're just met with this. This, and, like, imagine if this is somebody's first time listening to us. These guys suck. What do these guys do it? That's not our fault.

But Britt and Kelly are talking, and Kelly has her court date coming up, as she mentioned earlier, and they're going over like the important shit, like custody, division of assets, all that crazy stuff. So she's a little nervous for that. Understand. So, but these two start talking about the night prior. And Britt questions the lack of support that she got from Kelly.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Like, okay, okay, don't really care, but all right, here's something. And the donations come up. Britt has a terrible argument. Once again, I kept asking you, what's a good number? What's a good number? Nobody should have to tell you, period. Let alone if you're driving a rolls and you have a Birkenbag, they shouldn't have to tell you, probably more than three paper towels, a box of tissues, and $250.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Yeah. Rule of thumb for charity, you give what you can. Give what you can. And if that's what you can give, then you better be ready to answer for why you have a Rolls-Royce. Correct. And a Birken. It just doesn't track. It doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:15:09 I think it would have, I, they could have gone a completely different route. And I blame the cast for this, maybe producers, if you have producers in their ear. If this happens and you're at the day. intertable. And again, I don't think they really care about Kelly that much, but if they did, you start asking questions about her financial stability. Yes, dig in there. Get under her skin and dig in. Oh, you only gave 250. Is that all you can give? Yeah, I mean, why did you only, like, we gave, Porsche gave a thousand. Like, if you respect yourself, you're going to go ahead and do this. Like, that's the bare minimum. You gave 250, but you got to rolls.
Starting point is 00:15:41 What's going on? It's so easy. Yeah, it is so easy. I don't want to do their jobs for them. No, I'm not a housewife. I just don't understand why that didn't come up. And Kelly's pointing things out it's like you know you told us that you took your whole team down to Miami or whatever and you got everybody plastic surgery it's like you can do that but you can't donate more and she ends it with like you have a bigger purpose and I just want you to show up Brit's like well I want you to show up more for Brit we're not speaking in the third person's where we've gotten to in this point of the season and this is like the final straw for me this is kind of when I snapped because she goes you use your
Starting point is 00:16:20 team your entourage as a shield. I'm like, what the fuck does that mean? And where did this come from? Like, what are we talking about? This hasn't been a thing. What are you talking about? Britt talked about having security earlier in the season because of what she's going through with her ex-husband. Yes. Pretty cut and dry. There's no other way to look at that. And Brits now pulling this out to try to say that we can't get to know the real Kelly. Because of your glam squad. Because of your glam squad and security guards? What? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Is the security guard in the room with us right now? Like, I don't, I just, I know, it didn't make any sense. And honestly, at this point in the season when Britt's not making sense and she pulls that out of her ass, I stopped listening. I did too. I just simply stop listening. It's just not worth my time. And Kelly's like, you know, it's weird that she talks about my team because she wants my team. And we find out that Britt hosted a meeting with Kelly's glam squad behind her back.
Starting point is 00:17:17 And then Kelly hosted a meeting with her glam squad to say don't work with Britt. this could be juicy on another season, on another franchise. Even in this franchise, just had it been going better. Right. But even in this moment, the problem with having it with these two is Kelly still is, first and foremost, yes, not invested. Second, between these two, nobody's going to, like, pop off. It's not going to turn into anything because Kelly still is her friend, at least a little bit.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Yeah. And Brit's not ramping it up enough for them to. really get it like this is not going to come back up i don't think and so if it's not going to come back up and we haven't heard about it prior why the hell are we now talking about the glam squad coming between you two no idea it's episode 15 yep oof let's get to the pool we're now pool side don't we still have another episode left before the reunion that may they tried to cliff hang it with the 72 hours i was like oh oh my you know when they have to do that they pull that trick out of the bag it's Oh, you knew this was a terrible episode, didn't you?
Starting point is 00:18:21 Exactly. And I bet the little clips that we got, it's like when a bad movie trailer comes out, you know, and they put all the good scenes in the trailer. Yeah. That's probably going to be the episode. Yeah, Bravo's going to make this like an hour-long episode, too, and they're going to give us an extra. No, what do they do? They're an extra 12 minutes, 54 minutes, yeah. 54-minute episodes.
Starting point is 00:18:40 12 minutes of nothing. But let's get poolside, and everyone's just hanging out, you know, we see Porsche grilling. and her and Drew are cool again. They're going to move on from everything. That's fun. They're going to make a pact not to fight anymore. Great. Awesome.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Brits M.I.A. And then Randall comes up, who is the secretary of... Tourism. Tourism. So Randall comes up. He's a handsome fellow. F. Adra hugs him. Britt arrives.
Starting point is 00:19:09 I'm literally just going to read it off of my notes. It's the worst podcast ever. They talk about Jab Jab, Jab. which is the celebration Grenada for when they overcame oppression. And, you know, they're celebrating beating down oppression is what they say. So that's awesome. And I actually enjoyed the jab jab. I really enjoyed the jab.
Starting point is 00:19:30 I really enjoyed the job scenes. That was the only thing that it really caught my attention the whole time. Same. And then Kelly and Drew, they're talking about their divorces. Wow, they have something similar. They have. Could have explored this seven episodes ago. I know.
Starting point is 00:19:42 I know. We could have had these two, maybe go to lunch. I actually think this is probably the first time that Kelly. and Drew have interacted the whole season. Well, we're episode 15, and they're both like, oh, wow, really? Really? You're going through divorce? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Me too. That's so, wait, how many lawyers did he have? We have the same anniversary? Are you shitting me? How does this not come out? It's so funny. It's just bad. We did call out at some point that Drew isn't really interacting with people,
Starting point is 00:20:09 but like, in her own way, it's, she's doing fine. She's doing fine. Nobody's doing a great, like, Angela is the only one that, and this is just early, in the season because she's gone away the last couple episodes. She's the only one who stepped it up and it was like, okay, she's had a good season. She's a good newcomer. She can absolutely stay. Kelly, enjoyable, she can stay. Everybody else
Starting point is 00:20:28 fine. On the bubble. Luster, fine. Kelly, or Brit, rather, awful. Gone. And that's pretty much it. That's really all we have, but Drew interacting with, like, I laughed at this. I'm like, wait, you guys haven't talked about this yet? No, it's clearly the first time.
Starting point is 00:20:44 It's been four months of filming and you guys haven't talked about your divorces. What's going on? We have between three of the cast members, Porsche going through it, Shemia, or sorry, Drew going through it, and Kelly going through it. You would think that at some point
Starting point is 00:21:01 there would be a sit down with those three to talk about what they're going through. Nope. Nope. Not on this show. It's just nuts. And I'm sorry everyone out there. Like, I know this is not what you tune in to listen to,
Starting point is 00:21:13 but like I'm struggling to find topics to really discuss. I'm just trying to throw in some sidewinder's, you know? Yeah, a couple curveballs here and there. But Angela checks in on Britt when she gets there. And, you know, she talks about Kelly. So you think maybe you're going to drum up some drama between those two. And she's like, Kelly told me to show up for your friends.
Starting point is 00:21:34 But I feel like Kelly hasn't shown up for me. Okay. Nothing after that. Nope. Nothing after that. And Shimea comes out with Porsche's hat and Porsche's swimsuit on. I thought this was a nice moment. She may has been going through it.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Then this shows that Porsche has been paying attention and she needs more from Porsche. And Porsche's like, here, have your moment, which is going to be my moment. We'll take some pictures. She looks great. Awesome. We get to see the big hat. Super fun. Very good big hat.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Yeah. Great big hat. Awesome big hat. Real big fan of the big hat. Still not sure where they stop becoming friends because they're in a good place right now. Maybe it's the 72 hours later. 72 hours later. Because as we know, they're still not cool because they're on a show.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Jamillo was on Watch What Happens Live and talked about it. I mean, given this season, though, we're not going to see it. We'll see it at the reunion. Something probably happened after they stopped filming. They pull a, pick the cameras up after, I'm going to lose my mind. Because there's just simply no reason to. That's the reason for the 16th episode. Honestly, it probably is.
Starting point is 00:22:35 But they all head to the Jab Jab Jab Festival. This looks like a blast. You know, they dance on the truck. There's the oil and everyone looks like, I could feel the vibe. They're like, there's just vibes in the energy. Music was sick. Yeah, it was all sick. That looked really cool, really fun.
Starting point is 00:22:50 And then we get to the morning after. And there's oil everywhere, you know, on the pillows. Porsche's ass on the wall. It's on the wall. Yeah. We find out that Brit scrubbed Fadra, which, by the way, not that specifically, but like the mingling with the other ladies in the cast, silly things like that. You know, when she was doing her thing the night before, two nights prior, like taking shots and having fun and goofing.
Starting point is 00:23:16 off. Like, that's what we've wanted from a newcomer. Yeah. You know, that was a much different side to Brit. It's like, if you've done this all season, we might be having a different conversation now. We definitely could be, but instead, we're not. No, we're not at all. We're barely even having a conversation right now. I don't, yeah. This is so sad, bro. This is the sad. This may be the saddest episode we've ever done. Like, it might actually be. I think this is at least funnier than us just like completely passing over. We've done that before. It's like no explanation. We've done that before. There's been really bad episodes, and we're like, we're not fucking covering this.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Usually we'll get it like... This is why. We'll put questions up for another show and somebody, like, two or three people will chime in. What happened to the Atlanta episode? Yeah. Yeah. You should already know the answer to that. Where was this episode?
Starting point is 00:24:02 A summer house or whatever. It's like, eh, this is bad. Did you watch it? Yeah. You know what happened. And now you know why. Because when we are forced to do it. I don't want to put you guys through this.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Yeah, we feel terrible. I feel bad for you. I feel really bad. I feel so bad. but something crazy happened tell me something really wacky happened because kelly had her call with her attorney and uh you know she's ready she's going to be but afterwards guess what happened the crystal broken half you know what that means it's a symbolic of the end of a relationship it's a symbolic it's a symbol i don't know what to say it's a you wrote symbolic of
Starting point is 00:24:46 the end of a relationship, but you already said A. No, I wrote Symbolizes End of Relationship. Oh, so you changed it on the gel. My brain's broken from having to do this. And now it's time to cast it into the wild. The poor people sitting below that little villa is like, it's getting plopped in the head by a crystal, half crystal. Launching crystals off of a balcony.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Oh, that's throwing rocks. Can't throw rocks. No, that's literally what it is. No, that's symbolism. Oh, and rocks. Stones. Mm-hmm. Glass house.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Oh, boy. But hey. You know, if there was more to this season, I'd be able to tell you what that means. I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means, but Porsche is feeling better. This trip kind of makes it feel a lot.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Good. Me too. A lot lighter, you know. She's feeling good. And you could argue that we did just see the first, like, successful trip as far as, like, bringing people back together that we've ever witnessed on the Housewives show. Now we know why that's not good.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Now we know why they always blow up. We have a point of reference now. Yeah. this is what happens when there's no real drama on the trip but it's not even one of those like that we might root for where there's just toxicity everywhere there's arguments you can't even be in the same room as people then we go on a trip and it's like oh this could be a good healing trip as everybody always says and it never is but we always root for that this is they're done they are checked out they're done with the season they're done being filmed i i can't see it any other way
Starting point is 00:26:12 Do you know what I'd chalk it up to? We've referenced it a little bit already. This episode is brought to you by MewMUMU. Introducing Mutein, the new feminine fragrance by the iconic fashion house. Mutein captures the youthful, unconventional essence of the Miu Mewu Girl, brought to life by a gourmand, intimate and enveloping scent of wild strawberry and brown sugar accords. Mutein is not a statement, but a knowing glance,
Starting point is 00:26:37 a sweet rebellion, lighthearted and laced with wit, A gesture made for oneself, discover the new fragrance, mutine, now available in Canada. Oh, hi, buddy. Who's the best? You are. I wish I could spend all day with you instead. Uh, Dave, you're off mute. Hey, happens to the best of us.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Enjoy some goldfish cheddar crackers. Goldfish have short memories. Be like goldfish. The white chocolate macadamia cream cold brew from Starbucks is made just the way you like it. Handcrafted cold foam topped with toasted cookie crumble. It's a sweet summer twist on iced coffee. Your cold brew is ready at Starbucks. I think you're 100% correct in we've gotten to a point in this season where so many things are just focused around Brit.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Everybody in the cast has now been around her long enough to see how she operates. to see how she responds when you get into it with her and nobody, one, cares enough to do it and two, wants to deal with it because it's just so irritating. And you don't get anywhere with it. It's really irritating and there's no weight behind the things that she's saying.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Right. It's so easy to just kind of brush off and be like, whatever, Britt. Yeah, because if you even see it in this episode, Angela was like, yeah, Brit and I are like, whatever, we're fine. Yeah. That's the sentiment of everybody.
Starting point is 00:28:04 She wants to do pretty much what we saw on the first scene of this where Angela is going to her confessional saying she's going to be so pissed that Shemia and Kelly came down in matching outfits that she was left out. I'm here for it. I love it.
Starting point is 00:28:18 She just wants to watch it from afar. Everybody just wants to watch Brit do crazy Brit things, but not really get involved. No, and the other part is she didn't care about the swimsuits. No. Not at all. And that's it. Like...
Starting point is 00:28:32 What an episode. Let's get to some questions. There's no chance we have. talk about maybe one of somebody saying what the hell was this oh wow there is hey i'm gonna read all of these questions yeah we're gonna do every question that we have rachel michaelis asked five questions answer them all i'm gonna answer them all rachel shout out good for you uh from amy to cole oh eight what's your thoughts on the glam team situation it's stupid did she say it's stupid no i'm saying oh yeah i don't care we haven't heard anything of this until episode 15 yeah i don't
Starting point is 00:29:06 know. We also, when they brought it up, didn't get enough context as to why that's such a big problem. I mean, I don't know. Yeah, it's stupid. All right. I got to dig into this Rachel Michaelis situation because I already have a problem. I think you were too hard last week. This season is fine. Oh, boy. Oh, my God, Rachel. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for you having to sit through. If you're listening still, the funny part is if you stop listing and we're answering five of your questions. That would be funny. I would actually like to hear. Oh, no, it's getting worse. Oh, boy. I also bet there will be a three-part reunion. Oh, no. Please don't do that. Yeah, we really don't need that. We really don't
Starting point is 00:29:44 need three-part. I'm so sorry, Rachel. We have to keep going. What would we... What would we unpack? You know, we could talk about Drew and Portia and the Dennis situation. They're not, by the way, because Brits not there. They're not going to talk about the Kenya situation at all. They're going to ignore it. So what do we do? No idea. It will not. I actually, I'll put my ownership stake in bros and shows and there will not be a three-part reunion.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Hey, now. Because if there is, I'm going to quitting that to. Who's my future co-host? We'll find out. I will tell. It'll be a more entertaining episode than anything else. Are we being too harsh? I don't think so. I really don't think so.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Okay. Usually you can kind of get a read on people, and, you know, know, they'll talk about certain things because they're fans of Portia, because they're fans of Drew, whatever. There was nothing in the last two weeks. This was three straight weeks of them in Grenada, which is cool and fun, and I love Grenada.
Starting point is 00:30:46 I got nothing for you as far as storylines, but let's keep trucking here for Rachel's questions. Thank you for your service, Rachel. Oh, no, it does get worse. A good amount to talk about Drew and Portia and Dennis, Shimea and Portia, Kelly's divorce, all the partying. writ drama, even though she isn't there to have to bring it up. Oh, and Charles
Starting point is 00:31:07 and Angela, and whoever she had beef with. So two parts, maybe. All right. So she did redact. She redacted three parts. Sure, but I could argue that's one episode. I would argue that's zero episodes. Well, here's the thing. To really, like, dive into that a bit.
Starting point is 00:31:25 All the stuff that we've seen of those issues, we have not dug further into them. That's the problem. That's what the issue with this season is. nobody's wanted to really put someone's feet to the fire and, you know, the Charles and Angela thing. Right. They backed off.
Starting point is 00:31:40 The Dennis, Drew and Portia thing. They just squashed it without really getting anywhere. They didn't dig in to really find out, are you doing something with Dennis? Is Dennis into you? They stopped. They dropped it. What were the other ones? Kelly's divorce?
Starting point is 00:31:54 Like, we only know what she's told us. Yeah. And I don't know how much she's allowed to say or how much she wants to say. So there's kind of a dead end. What's the other one? Charles and Angela and whoever she had beef with. Yeah, and like Angela's beef. I guess they're going to do that.
Starting point is 00:32:07 They're going to be like Charles is cheating on you or something next episode. That looks like the big bomb that's going to drop. But as far as Angela's beef goes, it's between her and Britt, and we already saw that. Yeah. So I just don't know what more that we can get from these quote-unquote storylines. Yeah. And last question here from Collis White.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Is Kelly to blame for her pending fallout with Britt? I mean, okay, that's interesting. I think you could look at it that way. I mean, Britt is who she is. She can't help it. Right. What are you going to do? And you'd think Kelly was friends with her beforehand, so Kelly would know that.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I think Kelly, if you want to look at it from that angle, yes, I do think Kelly probably had a pretty big change up getting on this show and becoming friends with like Shimea, becoming friends with Portia. And she probably put Britt to the side a little bit. But I also could see her watching how Britt was moving throughout this season, being like, ooh, I'm not so sure I want to align with that. Right. So it's kind of a
Starting point is 00:33:06 double-edged sword there, but good question. Yeah, solid question. Yeah, that's interesting. I just... Actually got us thinking. I just wish that there was more on the screen that we could dig into that. Like, for example, when you have these two sit down and have this conversation,
Starting point is 00:33:24 there... God, I mean, there was parts, right? There was parts. You're like, ooh, you can dig into that but they don't they never do so that's my issue with the entire season is when we've had a problem or something comes up we get so close to that tipping point of oh shit it's going to pop off and then they back off so that this is what happens now sure is well let me just go ahead and say sorry to all you guys out there not our fault we tried our damnedist to one
Starting point is 00:34:00 stretch this out a little bit longer for you and two to try to cover it as well as we could but i'm i'm sorry we're sorry we're sorry sorry sorry but that's all i got you got anything else nope that's our show bro's got to go please come back and listen to us please don't please don't let this be the last time we listen to us we're so sorry hey michael hey tom you want to tell him or you want me to tell him no no no i i got this i want people out there People, lean in, get close, get close.
