Welcome back to the Mention It All podcast and another Friday episode. These Fridays, we have so much to get into, so I don't want to waste any time. I do just want to let you guys know. Remind you, our YouTube channel, always on, is live now, and our Tuesday episodes are living there. video episodes. This week we had some of our fellow Betches hosts Will and Eleni from the Blabbermouth show on the episode. We talked about lots of stuff, including Eleni's past work as a Bravo producer. Will used to work

at Peacock, so he has a fun little vantage point on that too. For next Tuesday's episode, I sat down with someone from the Valley and you're going to see it soon if you're subscribed. So make sure to go to the Always On channel on YouTube and subscribe there. Of course, the episode will be out wherever you listen to podcasts too. so exciting stuff coming, but make sure you're subscribed on YouTube for all those video episodes. And that's not the only exciting announcement. Because yesterday, we got our annual Bravo dump of renewals, of new shows, of announcements,

of updates. And this year was kind of a feast. Sometimes we get, you know, like, oh, we're doing like below-deck adventure. Oh, we're sending, you know, we're doing Top Chef in this new place. No, this year we got like prime, prime, prime, bravo content. We got four announcements about new shows that are coming in the next, probably in the next year or so. They always do this every year around this time, around when the up fronts are happening.

You know, all the networks are sort of trotting out what they're excited about for the next year so the advertisers can, you know, get hyped up, whatever. That's the boring part. The exciting part is that we have four new shows. And so I want to go through each of them, kind of talk a little bit about what we know some of the questions that I have for, you know, the powers that be. But overall, a lot of excitement to get into. And the first one, something that we have clamored for for years, Ladies of London is coming back. Now, if you have not watched Ladies of London, I don't know

what you were doing like during the pandemic or in the five years since then. It's three seasons. It's on Peacock. It's a very easy binge. It's a very, I would say, pleasurable binge. This was an early pandemic watch for me when I was kind of like filling in some of the blanks of my, you know, Bravo expertise. Three seasons, so good. But what's really interesting, for a long time, people have been like, bring back Ladies of London. Where did this show go? They're making real housewives of London, but that's going to be a Hey, You Original. So that seems like a completely different thing. Ladies of London coming back, but it seems like maybe none of the original cast is going to be back. Because in this announcement, this is the quote,

they said that it's going to be a quote new wave of American expats, you know, posh Brits, and international socialites, which is what the concept of the original ladies of London was. It was a mix of British American, a Danish princess, you know, people from all over the map. But this seems like they're really trying to sort of like reboot it with a fresh group. Now that could still leave room for some appearances, perhaps, you know, maybe even Even in the cast, there could be one or two of the original ladies. You know, there's like Juliet Angus, who's like the American lady with the fashion blog. She's still out there, you know, hustling.

She's like an influencer now. I would love to see like the Stanbury's pop in just a little bit. In the wake of Real Housewives of Dubai, I'm not sure that it would really like make sense for Caroline Stanbury to be back on Ladies of London. because her time on Real Houseways of Dubai was like not necessarily a sleigh. Like it was kind of a mixed bag from her. And I don't know that I need like more Sergio. But either way, I'm excited for whatever they're cooking up with Ladies of London because I do think that format was really interesting. It felt like similar in many ways to a Housewives show, but also just like sort of a slightly different vibe.

And I'm hoping that they can preserve the vibe that, like, Ladies of London had like 10 years ago and bring it into 2025, 2025, 26, whenever we're going to see this show. And whether that means an all new cast or some ladies that we've seen before, I'm excited for it either way. And also, Real Houseways of London, like, do these crossover? Does it feel redundant? Are we going to have to, like, hack into the mainframe to see Real Houseways of London over here in the U.S.? I don't know what's happening with that, but that was not mentioned in these announcements yesterday. So who knows? The next. The next thing, next show, a new Real Housewives franchise, the Real Housewives of Rhode Island.

Now, this has been rumored a little bit. There's a full cast kind of rumor that has been bouncing around on social media for a while. Obviously, you always take these things with a grain of salt before they're announced because we've had, you know, full, full scale, like Real Housewives franchises that people were casting and were filming and were in production that never existed. But Real Houseways of Rhode Island is in fact real. It's, you know, they're going to the ocean state. This cast, if the rumors are true, there's nobody in the cast that's like famous. When I first heard Rhode Island, I was like, oh, like maybe we'll be seeing like an Olivia Colpo or a sister of hers or, you know, there's like, do you remember Ashley, Ashley I from The Bachelor way back

when, like her, she married Jared. I think they live in Rhode Island. Like, there's a few people that I was kind of like, oh, maybe they'll pop up. It doesn't seem like that's really the direction they're going, which I'm, I'm completely fine with. Like, for the record, I don't need to see like Ashley Haybon, Ayakonetti. I don't know how to say either of her last names. Sorry, I'm not a bachelor person. But Real Housewives of Rhode Island, it's interesting. It is always so fascinating where they choose to go for these franchises. you know, there's always so much talk about there's no love for the Midwest on Housewives. There's never been a Chicago, never been a, you know, anywhere in the Midwest.

I'm from St. Louis. Andy said they won't do that. It's interesting because like it does feel like a whole segment of the country that's just, you know, not getting represented in the Housewives universe. There's been rumors about a Nashville kind of vibe. There's been rumors about Vegas, Arizona, even Connecticut, neighboring state. Rhode Island. People have wanted them to do like a, you know, bougie Connecticut Housewives vibe. Boston has come up. That's obviously in the same part of the country as Rhode Island, but clearly they have found something that they feel strongly about. And I am inclined to trust

the process when it comes to new Housewives franchises because, well, you know, Dubai, for example, was not an astounding success. The other most recent franchise is Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and it fucking rules. And when they first announced that, people were like, huh? So Rhode Island, I'm counting on you. Ladies, turn it out. You have one job. The next show is another one that I am so excited about. They are ticking our now beloved Valley IP and extending it into the Valley Persian style. That's a working title. And this is essentially the Shah's revival that we have been waiting for, hoping for losing faith in for a few years now. They confirmed with

this announcement that Reza, MJ, and Gigi Golnessa are all going to be returning on this show. They're going to be, you know, I'm sure surrounded by some additional friends and characters, maybe some of whom we've met before. I'm sure some people we haven't met before. And this is really exciting because when Shaw's kind of got put on pause, fizzled out, got canceled, however you would describe that a few years ago now, it felt like very quickly there was this party line that Reza and MJ and Gigi were kind of going with that. It's like, oh, we're working on something else. You're going to see us somewhere. It's going to be exciting. I know you miss us. We miss you. We'll be back. Blah, blah, blah. And I don't think that Reza and MJ and Gigi are like,

liars or delusional. I mean, maybe like a healthy little amount of delusion, but they're not like Drusadora out here being like, watch me on my new show. But it seemed like this is taking a really long time. Like, where is the show? Um, you know, MJ and Reza have both been on traders, which was very exciting. I mean, MJ icon backing out of the door in the mesh shirt. By the way, When we did our betch of the year, big feature last year, MJ was one of the people that we featured in our roundtable, and she brought the outfit. I can't remember if I talked about this at the time. I probably did. She brought the outfit.

She brought the mesh shirt. The mesh shirt. It's from Fashion Nova. That's my favorite thing to discover. But no, these three are going to be back. I'm very excited. And I think it's really smart. A theme that you see out of all four of these announcements is that they are all.

extensions of existing Bravo franchises in one way or another. And this is something that if you zoom out and you look at the broader entertainment industry, this is a trend that is happening in every corner. We're making spinoffs of billions and we're making spinoffs of, you know, fast and furious and spinoffs of John Wick. We're watching a ballerina movie coming out next month. Like, are we? I don't know. But this is something that Bravo is kind of clearly taking the hint that people are drawn to and excited about extensions of things that they already know and love. And I do have some mixed feelings about this because while I am excited about all four of the new shows, I also wonder where does that leave a new fresh, original thing that we haven't even

thought to want yet. Because thinking back to some of our, you know, our beloved Bravo shows, there was a time when Southern Charm was like some random show with these random people in Charleston. And now that's a 10 plus year Bravo franchise that has its own spinoffs. There was a time when, I mean, I guess I was going to say when Summerhouse was a twinkle in, you know, West Wilson's eye, but Summerhouse itself was launched with a backdoor pilot from Vanderpump Rules. So they do have a history of doing this, but thinking about shows like, I mean, the one from the last few years that comes to mind is family karma, that that was a show that people loved. It had three seasons. It was never like a smash in the ratings. And it disappeared. It wasn't, you know, this big flop that nobody ever watched. But it didn't really, you know, get the love and support maybe that it needed. Shows of Sunset, I think, is a show that it had this long tenure on Bravo. But I don't know if a show like that. would get greenlit in 2025. I'm excited to have the Shaw's friends back on our screens, but, you know, if there's a next group of Shaw's like people out there somewhere, I don't know

that we're going to see them on Bravo, which is a little bit of a bummer. But at the same time, I don't want to like, you know, I don't want to be sad when we have fun things to talk about. And the other, the fourth show is maybe the one that I'm most excited about, like Shadley. wife swap real housewives edition now I saw a rumor about this like a week or two ago and it was a tweet that this was going to happen and a rumored cast and I was like I screen I screenshot it at the time and I was like I have no idea if this is true this could be the purely fiction out of somebody's imagination but I hope it's true and I want it so bad and it's real and we have not gotten a confirmed cast for this. We don't know exactly what the format is going to be. It's wife swap. We know what wife swap is. If you lived through like the 2000s in an American home, you know what wife swap is. You know about like crazy, uh, demon like Jesus lady. Wife swap. A wife swap original. iconic. The rumored cast that I saw for this. And I feel like I should lower my

voice because I don't know if it's real. And I don't want to jinx it. Because it's, it's a great group. Emily Simpson from Orange County. Angie Katzenavis, Salt Lake City, Wendy Ocepho, Potomac, Melissa Gorga from New Jersey. Now, Melissa haters, pipe down. It's going to be fine. Teresa, you know, she's doing her own thing. Melissa can do something too. This is such smart casting because all four of these women, first of all, they all have kids around the same age group.

They all have husbands with persons. personalities. And it's really important that wife swap, I think, thinking about this format, this iconic format that they're bringing back from, you know, the dead, I think. I don't think they've been doing wife swap. Everybody kind of has to have like their own crazy family to swap with. And these are four family units that I think are very different, but each very interesting. You know, I, I am thinking about like, Dr. Wendy being sent to Orange County and having to like co-parent with Shane Simpson. That is something I want to see. I'm thinking about, you know, Melissa Gorga showing up at Angie Kay's house and, you know, Electra is going to be like,

can I sleep in the bed with you? Mommy lets me. And Melissa's going to have to deal with that. She's going to have to go to the lunatic fringe salon and, you know, work with Sean for a shift. I want to see that. I want to see, you know, is it Angie going to put, to Potomac, well, not Potom, they don't live in Potomac, but Angie going to Dr. Wendy's house and she has to, you know, have a happy Eddie moment. I want to see all of it. I'm excited. I don't know what the format's going to be, but I'm excited for it. And this is, um, this is, I think, a really inspired use of the, the housewives material that we have and something we've been talking about this with Love Hotel. Um, we've been talking about this, you know, trying to figure out if girls' trip

is ever happening again, it seems like maybe not. Figuring out what are the different ways we can use, you know, this pack of crayons to draw a new picture. And I think wife swap, excellent idea. And if it works well, you could do it again. You could rustle up more housewives with kids of a certain age and husbands of a certain personality type. And, you know, you film it in a week.

You send them for a week. it's like the easiest, it's the easiest thing. You barely have to leave the house. You do like one outing activity. Maybe somebody goes to church. Oh, that would be fun. There's a lot of possibilities. I'm picturing, oh my God, like Gertie could be good on this show in a future season.

She has like kids around the right age. Oh my God, like Ashley Darby. She has like the little's. She doesn't have a husband though. That would be tough. Would the Jack Harlow boyfriend like be the stand-in, husband for the week. I don't know how that would go. I don't know. Lisa Barlow, you could be parenting Mr. Fresh Wolf, Jack Barlow himself. Henry, Henry, Henry's the younger one. That would be sweet.

I don't know. I would like to see it. I would like to see lots of different permutations, inspired work, great job, Bravo team. Excited to see all of that. I also, I want to talk about something. I want to do something. I'm going to have a little prediction corner. I don't know if this is going to be a new recurring segment, but I want to make a prediction. So I've been seeing my TikTok feed. I am not like a theme park person, but my TikTok feed thinks that I am. And I watch it.

And so it gives me more. And I do enjoy. I like watching the Disney adults. I like watching, you know, the theme park, the park goers, the girlies. there's a new theme park opening in Orlando this month. And I think there's going to be a Bravo tie-in. Because I was thinking the other day, I was like, I would love to have a Housewives cast trip at Disney World.

How fun would that be? Seeing, you know, Mary Cosby had a character breakfast, and she's like, Goofy's weird. Goofy's weird. Get him away from me. Cinderella. Cinderella! Cinderella!

But that's never going to happen. And it's never going to happen because... Bravo is owned by a Disney competitor. But you know what Disney's competitor also has? Theme parks. And I think that we are going to see in the next year. This is my prediction. In the next year, we are going to see some sort of Bravo trip filming at Universal's Epic Universe theme park that's opening this month in Orlando.

I've been seeing lots of TikToks about it. They have poured billions of dollars into this theme park. And it looks cool. It looks cool. There's like a Nintendo world with like Mario and Donkey Kong. There's a How to Train Your Dragon Land. That seems cool. There's like Universal like monsters.

There's like a Frankenstein kind of vibe. There's roller coasters. There's shows. There's merch. Yada, yada. Universal needs this to be a big thing. And obviously, I mean like the theme park community, I guess, is very excited about it. You know, I've been seeing people post on TikTok.

but for the average American, you know, we're getting into sort of like a, you know, economic question mark, girl, the tariffs. Like there's a lot of, a lot of up in the air happening. And what better way? What better way for Universal to flex their promotional synergy than to send, like, the Valley cast to Epic Universe? Can you, Brittany getting to do like a meet and greet with the dragon from How to Train Your Dragon with Toothless?

Oh my God, y'all, it's the dragon. It's the dragon. Or the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City at like, you know, the Ministry of Magic, Mary Cosby being like, that's dark, that's dark magic. The ministry of magic. What is that? I don't want to do that. Angie Kay and Lisa Barlow in like Super Mario World.

I'm going to get all the tokens. I'm going to get the coins. Where's the mushrooms? I want to see it. And I think we're going to see it. Why wouldn't they do this? Easy win. Easy yes.

It checks so many boxes. This was just my little aside, but it is a prediction, and I do think we will see it. I don't know what show. I don't know what cast, but I think it's going to happen.

Work your magic. Should we talk about the valley? Let's talk about the valley. The valley continues to just be a roller coaster every week. A roller coaster. Next season, they could be on a roller coaster. See? You see it.

No, they are on this trip to Santa Barbara. Everyone, but Jacks. And we got to talk about Jacks. because Jack's, Jacks is at his 30-day rehab. And I'm using the word rehab because they're using the word rehab. But does it look like rehab? Does it feel like rehab?

Does it talk like rehab? No, it does not. I don't think, I don't think it's rehab. I don't know where he is. I don't know what the deal is. This is not a rehab that I have heard of or like, I'm familiar with. because he has his phone the whole fucking time. And he's using it.

He is texting Brittany every 30 seconds. The good, the bad, the ugly, the downright, you know, gaslighting, manipulating, accusing, berating, but also like toning and talking. They're on this trip to Santa Barbara. They're at their, you know, racing day. They're all in their little NASCAR outfits to go race remote control cars, first of all. like, what are we doing here? And Brittany is getting texts that he's like, hey, can you call me?

I'm on a break from therapy and I have some stuff I want to talk about. It's like, what stuff? Just text her. You clearly are going to text her anyway. I don't understand. I don't understand. First of all, Brittany, block his number. He's not, I understand when you're co-parenting, you have to kind of like be available.

There could be a problem. Blah, blah, blah. He's gone. He's not, he's not watching crews. He's not, you don't need anything for your. him block the number. Brittany, if you're listening, block the number. My God, Kristen, block the number.

He is relentless. And seeing some of these screenshots of the text, he's still talking about Julian and sending the sexy videos and he's complaining to Kristen and so, oh, she never did this. She didn't have time. She blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. She isn't worried about me. Oh, I'm watching the cameras in the house

and you're not coming to empty the mail as much as you said you would. And all my friends are going to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. They all know and everything. and it is crazy that he is in what we're calling rehab and is in therapy hours a day and whenever he has a break from therapy is like immediately like logging on and keyboard warrior trying to ruin Britney's day. I don't understand like why are you there truly? Why are you spending all of this money and going away for 30 days?

Going away. By the way, I think he like gets to go on excursions. I think he's like running errands. It's so weird to me. But truly, I guess he went because Brittany was threatening him to like get custody and file a restraining order and all of this. But like, if you're on camera and, you know, on the phone so obviously not growing or changing or reflecting at all, I got news for you, Jacks. She's still going to do all that shit. you going you like in theory going away for 30 days

shouldn't be enough to change anything if you don't actually change anything. And then we get this video diary of Jack's in rehab. He's like, I don't know if he's like setting up his own camera to film, whatever, but he's like, oh man, man. I just like, oh man, I don't want to be here and I'm like, you know, Brittany gets to me on, but I'm on like trips and blah, blah, and I'm stuck in here.

And it's just, oh, man, fuck. Okay, first of all, like, this, like, masculine energy that's just, like, radiating from the screen, like, I want to close the laptop. Like, get away from me. But also, like, do you not realize that you look unhinged? We are watching, like, a 360 viewpoint of this situation on the show. And what I can't understand is why does Jacks not realize that him behavior? this way is going to make him look so much worse. And I really, I really actually wish, obviously I wish he wasn't texting Britney all this

shit and, you know, making her miserable because it's unfortunate just as a whole. But from a show standpoint, I really wish they weren't giving him this airtime. I don't want to see Jack's's video diary from rehab. When Jacks checked in for 30 days, I was looking forward to a 30 days of no Jacks, just like Brittany. And Britney, I guess I'm on the same train as Britney, because she goes, I thought I was going to have peace for 30 days. How dumb was I? How dumb was I? Put it on a T-shirt.

How dumb was I? We were all dumb. We were ah dumb, Brittany. But no, it's too much. It's too much. I'm invested in the Brittany and Jack's arc. It's not that I never want to get an update. It's that, like, I don't need to see him on this episode because he's not there.

And I like that he's not there. And, you know, he knows that they're in Santa Barbara because Jesse told him because they talk every day. First of all, why are you talking every day? Let him go to rehab. Put the phone down. Jesse blocked the number. Everybody, everybody block the number. Like, okay, he has his phone because his rehab.

is like, you know, a spa, as Selena Meyer would say on V. She's like, when I went to the spa. But like, if everybody blocks the number, then he doesn't have anybody to talk to. Then he's just shouting into the void. And that, I feel like, if he needs to shout, let it be into the void.

Let it be in his therapy session. No, but Jesse's talking to him every day. It's just like, it's too much. It's too much. Zach and Janet finally have their conversation. It's so emotional. and Nia has to come hold Zach's hand because he needs emotional support. It's a lot.

We talked about that. That'll be, we talked about that a lot in the episode that'll come out next Tuesday with Zach. So I don't want to, like, spoil all of that. But I do think I got a, I got a call into question his logic about blacking out. Because he says, his claim is that all this stuff he said about Janet, about not caring about her pregnancy, et cetera, et cetera, was that Jack's's bar opening, cursed, cursed, cursed, all around Jack's studios. city, and that Janet wasn't there and Brittany was there and he was blacked out when he was saying

this stuff. And then Brittany told Janet, which A is a betrayal of trust, which like, okay, okay, fine. But also, because he was blacked out, he shouldn't be held accountable for anything that he said and he didn't mean anything that he said. And I do feel like that's not really how that works. Like famously, drunk words are sober thoughts. What about that? Zach Wickham. Like, you said all this stuff and perhaps you wouldn't have, you know, maybe you were a little more heated or a little more like, you know, amped up than you would be normally. Like maybe you exaggerated your thoughts because you were drunk. But like, you hate the bitch. It's okay. You're holding up like the Benji doll and the confessional and being like,

I hate Janet too. Just kidding. You don't like her. That's okay. Now, I think the Brittany, Zach Janet dynamic is actually super interesting. And talking to Zach, I think I forget how much Zach feels connected to Brittany because they know each other from home. And so, like, they're, like, L.A. sisters, kind of. Like, it feels like they're, like, in this together. Really interesting. Really interesting stuff.

Man, I don't know. I do like that it feels like on this Santa Barbara trip, there's a lot going on. And everybody kind of has their own things that they're focused on. Like Kristen is, you know, very deep into the, you know, ovulation, what's happening with the fertility. She's really, you know, fixated on that, understandably so. That's a super hard thing to go through. You know, she's really struggling to get pregnant. I love that we're watching this now that she's like eight months pregnant because I don't have to feel like this pit in my stomach of, oh my gosh, is this ever going to work out for her?

Like, it just feels nice. But so she's really focused on that. You know, she and Luke are fucking before they even go to the racetrack, putting the hat on the door. Good for you. Zach is obviously stressed about his situation with Janet. Jesse and Michelle are focused on making each other's lives a living hell. Also, we get a lot of Jesse Lally nudity this episode, which I wasn't expecting. I'm like, I'm so sorry, but it just works for me, unfortunately.

He's spending a lot, you know, Michelle can be like, well, he's spent so much money on moisturizer. He better look good. I'm like, yeah, and he does. and he does. Don't. Just let me have it. But, you know, so they're so focused on each other. Brittany is in this like special level of hell with what's happening with Jacks.

It feels like everybody kind of is like on their own wavelength a little bit at this trip. But thankfully, you know, Kristen has hired a spiritual healer that's going to make them all feel better. Right? I love that this week on Bravo, we got both a spiritual guide. Sorry, not a spiritual healer. a spiritual guide, Willa, and also a prophet on Real Housewives of Atlanta. Because Cynthia Bailey is having the Bailey cue again, and she's bringing a prophet. It's Juneteen themed, which, like, love it.

Shamiya's there in her dashiki. Love that. Shamiya's facial expressions are really like an unsung hero. Maybe a song hero. I don't know. They're a hero of this season so far. But this prophet doing her readings, I loved it. It's like, oh, like, do I need to give you my hand or, you know, are you drawing cards or something?

She's like, no, no, no, I just feel the vibes. I just like, I can just tell. Now, I don't want to, I'm not a very, like, spiritual woo-woo kind of person. Like, none of this really, like, does it for me. But I do think that if I had to choose any type of spiritual, you know, consultant to be, being a prophet where you kind of just get to, like, say stuff, sounds kind of nice. Like, yeah, you know, I'm catching a vibe. Does anybody here have a Porsche?

Um, oh, you want one? That works. Good gig. Good gig. And I like that Drew's like, I would like my reading in private. Like, that's not the rules of the game. I do feel like Atlanta has lost like a tiny bit of steam for me at this point in the season. I'm very excited for the arrival of Fadra because I think we need that like extra element to sort of shake things up.

It's not that there's nothing good going on because the individual episodes I think are entertaining and fun to watch. it's that it feels like we're sort of swimming in circles a little bit with like Angela's mad at Britt and Britt and Britt and Portia's mad at Drew and there's a dentist thing and Cynthia's kind of watching it all in the eye of the storm and just kind of commenting on it which I love which I love Cynthia you're doing amazing when she says the only things open after midnight is legs jail and the ER Cynthia I love Cynthia so much she's doing a great job this season But no, I feel like Atlanta, the Kenya situation was so heightened that then it feels like the everyday just arguing about, you know, do Brits lips have stretch marks around them from overuse? Angela calling her a whore. The word horror, really a hot topic on Atlanta this season. It just feels like a little bit like, okay, like that was fun. I don't really remember exactly what happened because it didn't feel that important. because it's like, okay, you guys are just like arguing again.

Summer House this week was an interesting one too. God, I was just so annoyed. I feel like I gave Lexie Wood her flowers last week that I was like, good job, girl, you made it out alive, you stood your ground, you said that you didn't want to give it another chance because you knew that he wasn't going to give you what you needed. And then where do we find ourselves this week on Summer House? Where do Jesse's hands find themselves cupping Lexie Wood's ass in the kitchen? Where else?

And where does he find himself sleeping in the bed with Lexi Wood? Oh my God, you guys, we just did this. We just went through this. We couldn't have one weekend where you guys were like cordial. Look, consenting adults, everybody should do what they want. Lexi, come on. Come on. We can't go from being manipulative, two-faced liar to, okay, but get back in the bed.

it's just stand your ground girl. Jesse's still in the shit house with Sierra. I do think, I just, I feel like Sierra is, she like had her issues with West at the beginning of the season. Now she's going through it with Jesse. I think that Sierra, like, I think that she is right in most of these situations. Like Jesse saying that he felt bad for her was like a crazy thing to say.

But where Sierra loses me just a little bit, is when they're having like a negative tone conversation. And then she is like, no, but I'm not mad. I'm just over it. And it's like, okay, I want you to be over it. I love that goal for you. But I feel like right now it's giving mad at least a little bit. Like, it's okay.

It's okay to acknowledge that you are pissed off. I don't think saying, yeah, you pissed me off makes you weak or, you know, shows that you care too much. It's being like, yeah, he said something that was worthy of pissing you off and therefore you're pissed off. I just, and Lindsay's doing it too where she's like, I don't care about Carl. I'm so moved on. I'm the most moved on I could be.

But also, he said he had sex with somebody else. That doesn't sound true. I can't picture that. It's like, why do you care? Keep it pushing. Keep it pushing. I just, I want these women on Summerhouse to like actually stop giving a shit about the dumb men.

because the saying you don't give a shit, but then showing that you do, that's where it's kind of like, I want better for you. I want better. Because these guys are not worth it. And that's the thing like, I don't think Jesse is like an evil manipulative liar face.

I think that he's like a dummy who's not ready for a relationship and who speaks without thinking. And like that can hurt your feelings too. But like it's like slightly different. than if he was like, you know, out there in the streets being like true evil. On Watch What Happens Live last night, Lexi was on and her mom and sister were there and they said that they didn't like Jesse from the beginning. And I'm like, I don't know. I mean, he was really laying it on thick. So I could see if you were like, this guy seems like he's doing

the most. But like, I don't know, it didn't like him. He was like, you know, he's like tall and sexy. What's not to like? I mean, everything else maybe. But that's where we are this week. And to close things out, I just want to circle back to what we were talking about at the beginning and give out our award for the week. We started this last week, given out a new award every Friday that I come up with and doesn't mean anything.
