Mention It All - Jill Zarin’s Latest Firing Is A Doozy (Plus Summer House, RHOBH, & Traitors Recaps)

Episode Date: February 13, 2026

Dylan is decked out in his Bad Bunny gear for this week’s Bravo recap episode, in honor of the latest ex-Housewife scandal rocking the internet. Jill Zarin flew to close to the sun once again, and Dylan breaks down the rapidly unfolding events surrounding her firing from the RHONY revival, and who’s being called in to replace her. From there, he digs into this week’s Summer House episode, where things continue to trend downward for Kyle and Amanda’s marriage. How many weekends can they make it before we’re talking about divorce. Later, Dylan shares some important thoughts about RHOBH (a moment for Amanda’s Manifestation Moment) and Traitors (RIP to one of our faves).

The road to the NBA finals ends here, with Star Guard setting the tone. The Cavs eye another upset, while the Knicks carry the dreams of all of New York. The Eastern Conference Finals continue on ESPN and ABC. Hi, yo! Oh! I used to have this really, like, bad habit. It was like a bit when somebody would like drop something or like bump into something. I just go, ow!

People who got it, got it. But then, like, if I did it around the wrong people, they're like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. I'm like, no, no, no, you literally didn't touch me. It's like, it down. Hey, everyone, welcome back to the Mentioned It All podcast. I am so thrilled to be here for another Friday episode. And boy, this has just been a doozy of a week.

So I'm excited to get into it all. If you are watching on video, which, as a reminder, now you can watch our Friday episodes on video. YouTube.com slash at Bravo by Betches. Or if you're on Spotify, you can just turn that video right on. And if you're watching on video, you can see that I'm wearing a shirt today that's inspired by something that's happened this week and something that has been causing a lot of controversy and really just, oh, making me real tickled. And that is Jill Zeran versus

bad bunny. Well, really, Jill Zeran versus herself versus her big old mouth. And we are going to get into it all. Trust me, if you're not watching on video, I am wearing a bad bunny shirt that I got at his residency in Puerto Rico, which I attended. So I think you can, you can guess whose side I'm on in the bad bunny versus Jill Zarin feud, if you can call it that. I don't think you actually can. But again, I've had some good laughs this week. But we're also going to talk about summer house, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Traders, maybe Southern Charm, maybe a little bit of Valley Persian style because I've been catching up and, oh boy, this is really, it is a standout new show and I think that we have been sleeping on it a little bit. Speaking of, I have the great pleasure of catching up with our boy Reza Farahan earlier this week. So you're going to be hearing that in a couple weeks on the show.

But next Tuesday, we have a great episode with Dylan. Ephron and Boston Rob. Just like a great month, unmentioned it all. We're having a lot of fun. Our episode with Rodrigo Reyes came out a couple days ago. So go fire that up if you haven't. Once you're done listening to this, I guess, I don't know. Just do what you want, but listen to it.

Watch it, wherever. But we're having fun here, and let's get into the Jill's Aaron of it all. So if you've been living under the biggest of rocks, You might have missed that Bad Bunny performed at the Super Bowl on Sunday night. Now, I was very excited about this. I think a lot of people were very excited about this. If you didn't know, Bad Bunny, Spotify's Global Artist of the Year in 2025, the most streamed artist globally, also from Puerto Rico, which, if you missed it, part of America, he's an American citizen. Did you know?

Crazy. There was a lot of controversy around Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl. Now, I don't feel the need to explain all of the talking points about why there was controversy about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl. But you know who hit on a lot of those talking points? Jill Zerrin, she certainly did. Now, I was not really on my phone on Sunday night during the Super Bowl because I've been on this journey the last month or so of trying to reduce my screen time and my phone usage. You know, it's really, in the words of Amanda Francis, you could say, I'm like manifesting a manifestation moment of being more present and using my phone less.

But that being said, I was on my work phone and my computer the whole time during the Super Bowl. So I don't know that I was especially like at one with nature. But I was not looking at my personal like Instagram texts, whatever. So the game ends. Bad Bunny crushed it. The Patriots didn't. Go see Hawks, I guess. I don't fucking care.

but I pick up my phone at the end of the game it's like I don't know 10 p.m. or whatever because I live on the East Coast by the way I am so jealous of everyone on the West Coast where the Super Bowl starts at 3.30 in the afternoon and you get to have your like afternoon snacks you could maybe like get high before the game that sounds nice you could just be kind of like riding that wave for the afternoon and then the game ends and it's only like 6 p.m. I, that is the only time of year when I'm like, damn, I wish I lived in California. Well, also it's been like zero degrees. So I do wish I lived in California. But anyway, I pick up my phone at the end of the game. I opened Instagram and the first thing I see, because I did follow at Mrs. Jill's Aaron. The first thing I see is Jill's big face up in the camera with like a glassy filter on. And she's like, I think.

we can all agree that this was the worst half-time show ever. And I, you know, we're celebrating 250 years of America. And I didn't think that it was appropriate for the halftime show to be in Spanish. I just didn't. And, you know, I don't think there was a single white person up on that stage. And also, Lady Gaga, what a facelift she got. Nobody that the party I was at even recognized that it was her. Anyway, immediately, I'm watching this video and I'm like,

Girl. Molly, you in danger, girl. Oh my God. See, the thing is, okay, first of all, not only is this like a, I mean, okay, racist, tangent to go on about speaking English and white people on stage, whatever. But Jill is like, it's such a dumb video because she's contradicting herself. She's saying there was not a single white person on the stage and then in the next sentence talking about Lady Gaga. who, if you missed it, on the stage, white person, Italian girl from New York. Also, it's like, Lady Gaga got a facelift and you couldn't recognize her. First of all, like, Lady Gaga is, like, deeply recognizable. Like, she looks like Lady Gaga. I would recognize her literally anywhere. It's Lady Gaga. You know, the dancers moved out of the way, and Lady Gaga is there with the flower on her dress

and her long, beechy waves' hair. And I'm like, screaming, because it's Lady Gaga. I recognized her right away. Where's Jill been? And then people have pointed out the irony of a real housewife criticizing somebody looking different because of work they may have gotten done. It's like, that is the biggest pot meat kettle moment you could possibly ask for. But, but Lady Gaga is not the main point here.

The main point is that it's a racist tirade about Bad Bunny performing in Spanish, which we all knew he was going to perform in Spanish. Why are you acting surprised? And the comments on this were just delicious. Everybody's clowning her. Everybody's coming for her, telling her to delete that there's still time to delete this, you know, all of this stuff.

Kelly Benson's in the comments just like, heart, heart, heart. It's like, oh, babe, not now. But the thing that I thought was most interesting in the comments was a comment that Jill herself had left on her own video saying that it was just your opinion and that Allie, her daughter, who, of course we know Ali, Ali was telling her that she was getting canceled for this video. And like, L.O.L. How many times can I get canceled?

And the answer, babe, is always one more. One more time. Jill deleted this video about two hours after she posted it. By the time I had seen it, it already said like one hour ago. So it was up for like a while, certainly enough time for many, many people to screen record it, let's just say. But she deleted it later on Sunday night. And on Monday there was a lot of discourse about it. There was a lot of, you know, they talked about it on The View, which I just feel like the View is pretty selective in when they talk about like Bravo Leopardy drama. Like they're not recapping shows. They're not getting into like what happened on Sunday nights episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Like they're not in the weeds with Bravo. They're only talking about this stuff when there is like a bigger narrative happening, a bigger scandal happening. And like when you have Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar being like, who is this woman? It's bad for you. it's it's bad for you and of course people are pointing out that this is not the first time that Jill has made a mess uh Jill obviously famously fired after season four of the original real

housewives of New York uh Jill also famously uh the the cause of the the downfall of the original rony legacy show that Bravo was trying to make because you know she was demanding ending too much money, I guess. Jill also famously not invited to be on the season of Ultimate Girls trip that ended up being the Rony Legacy Show. So it was, it was, you know, specifically really interesting that Jill was creating this type of controversy just a week after the announcement that she and the gals were going to be getting the gang back together for this new show on me.

But not anymore. because on Tuesday afternoon, Jill got fired. Jill is no longer going to be on The Golden Life, and this show has not even started filming it. So Jill is not going to be in one split second of that footage. And you just know, I mean, pray for Gary. Because thinking about in that house in Boka, the absolute guttural scream that must have happened

when she got that call on Tuesday afternoon, like furniture was probably thrown, you know, glasses were smashed on the wall, I'm sure, holes were punched in, you know, light fixtures. Just like, you know that it was chaos down there. And you know that Allie was on the phone being like, mom, why'd you do this? Now it's going to be harder for me to get invited to all the cool parties at Art Basel. Pray for Allie, you know, tough stuff. but chill she did it to herself because it's like of all the moments where you could have just like

said nothing kept your mouth shut because the thing is you could say i don't know bad bunny's music i it's not my favorite style of music it's not my favorite halftime show there's ever been it's not racist to say oh i i have liked a half time show more in the past or like I don't typically I don't, saying you don't understand Spanish is not racist. What's racist is to say that it's not appropriate for the halftime show to be in Spanish

to use the Megan Kelly talking points of we should be speaking English in this country. Get a grip. Get a life. I don't know if we even talked about this, but remember back in November when New York was having the mayoral election and Jill was going on Instagram

and saying, I heard there was ice at the poll. You better be careful. I don't know. I heard that racist-ass voter suppression tactic to get people to stay home from voting for Zoron. Guess what? That didn't work. And now she did it again. She got herself fired. It does seem like Jill is kind of just not meant to be back in the fold. But that was Tuesday. She got fired. And what was funny after the news of her firing was that there were multiple articles. came up. There was one, I think, in In Touch and maybe page six. There were a couple different articles with different outlets that had sources talking about Jill's reaction to the firing and also kind of the online reaction to the news of her firing. And let's just say like the sources quoted in these articles, I think probably had names like Schmiel Schmerin or, you know, Shmally Shmapiro, because it was like, it was like, Jill is, you know, Jill is,

feels hurt that she's not being given a chance, considering the fact that she deleted the post immediately. And it's like, bitch, it was two hours. You had time to comment on the post saying that Allie was telling you that you were getting canceled for the post and laughing it off and saying, how many times can I get canceled? Again, babe, one more time. And then, And the funniest thing in this InTouch one, it was quoting a source being like, the internet is up in arms because they were so excited to have Jill back on their screens. And now E is taking away the opportunity to have Jill back on their screens. So the internet is just up in arms that they're not going to get to see Jill back on their screens.

And it's like, the internet is up in arms. The internet is up in arms because Jill posted a racist thing. And they were like, babe, we've been through this before. Go away. I, okay, I will admit, I don't spend a lot of time in the online circles that would be up in arms over somebody getting fired for being racist. But I'm not sure that I saw a single post. I'm not sure that I saw it. Neri a tweet, nary a thread, complaining that Jill shouldn't have been fired for being racist.

like read the room. It's not the vibe. There are, I mean, obviously there are people who agree with Jill's sentiments. Ramona has been, you know, sitting on her hands, I'm sure. I'm sure Avery is like, has her phone bricked up so she doesn't like get on there and ruin her own comeback. You know, Taylor Armstrong posted a similarly racist post on Sunday night with a, a Photoshop of herself as Russell Crow in Gladiator and saying how she thought it was a shame that they let the Cuban flag be on the Super Bowl halftime show. And then later had to post a whole apology saying that the story wasn't reflective of her appreciation of the Latin community and that she also did think that the Puerto Rican flag was the Cuban flag, which it's like, okay, it's okay if you don't know,

you know, all 200, whatever world flags, but either way, it's racist. So maybe just don't be racist. And then it doesn't matter if you know the difference between the flags, because it doesn't concern you. Just like crazy talk. But the bigger thing after this, so Jill gets fired. That's Wednesday. That's Tuesday.

Sorry, that's Tuesday. Jill gets fired. And then Wednesday, the news comes that Dorinda Medley will be replacing Jill on the golden life. No, I support Dorinda getting the bag, securing the check, counting the coins. I don't know that I'm, like, excited for this because when this show was announced, I already was like, I don't know that I'm excited for this. And then you take out Jill, but then you swap in Durinda, but you still have Ramona,

you still have Kelly, you still have Sonia, who's like, you know, God love Sonia, but I'm not sure that I'm super excited to watch whatever she's got going on in 2020. Sonia, my God, the post that she made after Jill was like getting dragged for her bad bunny thing was like the most Sonia possible post because it was like four random pictures of her, I guess with Hispanic people being like, me and the gang's celebrating bad bunny the grannies. And then quoting herself and being like, I'm huge with the Latin community. It's like, girl. Sonia, I guess is like, I don't think that she is. like as, let's say, pointedly problematic as people like Jill and Ramona, but also like just because your mind is in outer space doesn't give you a free pass. Like, I just don't know that

this Golden Life show is really going to be worth watching or worth commenting on. And as much as I, you know, enjoy Derinda and it's been fun seeing her more on traders this season. I'm still kind of just like, okay, like, so now Dorinda's going to fly down to West Palm Beach, because I don't think it's real Palm Beach, as I said last week. She's going to fly down there and like save the ship. Like, I don't know. I still am going to have to watch Ramona if I turn on that show. And here's the thing. Ramona can not post about Bad Bunny as much as she wants.

I already know that Ramona's racist. So I don't have to like question whether or not. It's like unless Ramona has gotten like a mentality, a brain transplant. Like I know what she's thinking about bad money's Super Bowl performance. Oh, boy. We have fun here, don't we? Man, what a time to be alive. Girl, winter is so last season.

Watch only on Prime. Okay, let's talk about some shows that actually have picked up cameras and made it to air.

Summer House, Episode 2, Season 10, Episode 2, Episode 2, It's a good one. We pick up where we left off with Kyle, berating his beloved wife of many years, for having the audacity, as Romano would say, to go skinny dipping when he's not in the pool. And again, I will just correct, for the record, it's not skinny dipping if you have your underwear on. You are wearing a bra and underwear. It's not skinny dipping. You're not naked.

You're not topless. so I will just say for for for definition's sake I feel like it's important to be on the same page there but you know he's just like mad he's just angry and not only is he angry about Amanda taking off her top and getting in the pool without him he's angry about a lot of things and he complains to the guys about how messy the apartment is and they're at this is when they're out for the night after this Fourth of July party and he's like man like there's just so much stuff everywhere. And like, I can't even have a cleaner come because there's just like shit all over.

And Amanda, fuck, Amanda's just so messy. And she won't clean up after herself. And I had her mom come and try to clean up after her. And that didn't work. And so there's just like nothing I can do. And it's like, so Amanda won't clean up after herself. And Amanda's mom won't clean up after her. Who else

Who else do you think has a key to the apartment That has two hands And could clean up a mess Do you think Kyle has a key to his own apartment? Do you think he could do you think his hands work? Like I don't obviously like I don't think it's great that Amanda is like Making a mess and not caring about it But like

Maybe you should like Work on this Maybe you should like Maybe you should go home for more than one and a half weekends out of every six months and like focus on that. Kyle just like, the thing with every, every interaction that Kyle and Amanda have had so far this season is that it's like

if Kyle were giving 10% more humanity. If he were giving 10% more, you know, compassion, if he were seeming like 10% more of a support, supportive, you know, present partner, you would almost kind of be able to see both sides. You would say, you know, Amanda's being kind of harsh on him or Amanda's really not giving him much leeway. Or, you know, it seems like Amanda needs to work on herself. But it's like every single time, it's just like, man, fuck Kyle. Get a grip. Grow up. Get a life. Learn how to speak to your wife. maybe don't go out till 5 a.m. and, you know, party every weekend and make excuses and blame your

wife for shit that you haven't even been able to have a real conversation with her about. Like, grow up. And this just continues later in the episode. He's like at Carl's apartment and he's talking about, oh, man, like, I feel embarrassed how last weekend I was like complaining about my marriage with people I just met, but it's been so hard and it's been so bad and they don't even know. And I put $500,000 into lover boy to stop it from going under. And I haven't taken a salary in six months. It's just like, yeah, that sounds rough. Like I've never owned a business and had to put half a million dollars into it and stop taking a salary to stop it from going under. Like, that sounds really stressful. But I don't, Kyle is like complaining about.

things that I don't think he has done any of the real hard work to actually try and address and fix. And so I just like don't have that much sympathy when it's like, okay, yeah, like, your wife is annoyed with you because you've spent years neglecting every single possible thing that she needs. We also, this week, importantly, get our first, our first taste of Lindsay this season. And it's so fun to see her not pregnant. Look, I think, um, I think, um, I think the miracle of life is a beautiful thing. I'm so glad that we have baby Gemma with us. But seeing Lindsay, like, order a drink and just catch up with the girls, and she's looking

great. She has her bob back. It feels good. And she's, like, you know, raising a baby is nothing for me because I've spent the last however many years raising all these, like, toxic, shitty men. And I think she's right. She's done the work. She's put in the work.

I also love that, you know, at Summer House, how they're not. give everyone the little like career titles under their names. Lindsay's is just influencer now. I'm like, wow, we've, we've come such a long way from when she was running like Hubhouse PR and we had to see her like hustling for, for PR clients. But she meets up with Sierra and Amanda in the Sate. She is going to be in the house like in like two weekends. I'm like, babe, clear the schedule.

I know that you have a daughter, but like, we need you at the house. But no, she has her weekend. And then it's going to be Turner's weekend. so she can come out to the house. So she does tell Amanda that Kyle was filling her in about some issues they've been having and that he feels alone in the relationship. And again, to that I just say, if you feel alone in your marriage, perhaps you should try spending time with your partner. Like I would just guess that when you are physically never together, you are more likely to feel

alone than if you were spending, again, more than one and a half weekends together out of six months. That just seems like simple math. But I don't know. I don't want to tell anybody how to live their lives. That's certainly not something I would do. but this is when Amanda brings up what we saw in the season trailer, this story of him going back to a fan's apartment and falling asleep at like 6 a.m.

Now, this was in the season trailer framed as a big explosive reveal. And so it is pretty interesting that we are finding out about this in episode two. And that implies to me that there is a lot of ground. left to cover in the Kyle and Amanda saga over the course of this season and that we are potentially going to get some developments sooner rather than later because it just seems like over these first two episodes again not giving Kyle any kind of credit here or you know any kind of like bonus points but Amanda like fucking hates him like Amanda amanda is so much more done with his shit than she has been in the past when she's already been, you know, pretty done with

his shit. And it does feel like if this is the point we are at on weekend one and two, it's hard to imagine that we're going to get to like weekend eight before there's any kind of like larger conversation. So I'm really curious to see kind of like the how that gets charted over the rest of the season. But I mean, At the end of the episode, they're at dinner the next weekend at the house. And Kyle is giving this weird, like, half toast, half apology where he's like, yeah, you know, like last weekend, it was a lot. And, you know, I just like, you know, I love you guys. And, you know, sorry, sorry, if that was too much and blah, blah, blah.

First of all, I'm like, okay, so this is an apology to the house for how you yelled at your wife in front of everyone. I think that needs to be directed, maybe in private, a little more squarely to said wife. And this kind of comes up and Kyle's like, Amanda's like, okay, apologize to me. And it's like, I apologized to you last Sunday. And it's like, damn. Okay. Like, nothing says I understand my error and I'm truly genuinely sorry than being like,

fuck you, bitch, I already apologized. Like, I just respectfully don't think that you've learned your lesson here. But no, Sierra, I mean, Sierra and Amanda are basically, like, giggling in the middle of his toast for kind of the second week in a row at the house dinner. And so Kyle storms off and slams the door. And it's just like, Kyle having a tantrum at the end of every episode is, like, entertaining, but also it's just so crazy that this man is like 40. and so deeply doesn't have his shit together. Did you know I saw this post going around? Kyle Cook is older than J.D. Vance.

Yeah. Look it up. Kyle Cook is older than J.D. Vance. I mean, like, I don't know if that's... Oh, my God. It's right. Producer Joe. Oh, my God.

Like, I don't know if, I mean, not to be like, J.D. Vance has his shit together and Kyle Cook doesn't. But like, the vice president of the United States is younger than Kyle Cook. Let it, let it marinate. I do have to say, I'm really enjoying this new guy, KJ, on Summer House so far. He is having some wonderful moments of connection with, you know, West is his kind of like entree into the house. And they're in the first episode. They had a nice conversation about some of their like mental health stuff and and sort of feeling comfortable and all of that. And in episode two, KJ had a wonderful conversation with Sierra.

And, you know, she's talking about growing up and, you know, having braids and, you know, feel it, how she feels about that as an adult. And they're just like connecting on such a lovely human level about like their upbringing and their families and how they approach things. Summerhouse over the years has been really hit or miss with how the newbies have made their way into the group. And I think that KJ is doing a stellar job in these first couple episodes of just feeling like he's becoming a part of the group. There are a lot of new people this season. There's our Australian bachelor guy, Ben, who I'm like, he doesn't really do it for me.

Like, I don't know. Like he's cute. I'm not going to be like, oh, this like, I'll go. but I'm not like, oh my God, fanning myself because Australian Bachelor Ben is in the house. And they do show, they show his bare ass while he is getting changed in the room. And I will say after 10 seasons of Summerhouse, I still feel like I'm sort of like clutching my pearls sometimes at how little privacy they give these people. Then I'm like, damn, like, I know the cameras are there the whole time. But like, if I was Ben watching this back, I'd be like, you only let me get one.

one and a half episodes in before you're showing my bare cheeks to all of America. And it's not even part of the storyline. He's not even like skinny dipping. He's just like getting changed. I know they sign all sorts of releases. So I guess he can't be mad. But like, I don't know about all that. I'm a lady.

Protect my peace. No, but Bailey and Levi, they're having a good little time. And then Mia is brand new this episode. So I'm excited to learn more. and become more familiar with all of these crop of newbies over the course of the season and see who feels like they are really making their way in. Because it's a lot of new people and it's a little TBD, but I'm having a good time with Summer House so far this season and I hope it stays that way.

You guys, like, I love West so much. And I love that West is having like, I think he's going to have a good summer. And I love that it's like so much more chill than it was like. summer and him and Sierra, I'm like giggling and kicking my feet anytime they're having a moment together. But anyway, that's enough of that. I can't be like shipping people openly on this podcast that I then will see in real life and have to like have conversations with. Yee. I do, okay, Beverly Hills, I feel like every week. I'm like, it was fine, not great, not bad. Just need to touch on it for a minute. And I, I'm sorry to do it again to these ladies,

but I just have to take a moment for, you know, you already know what it's going to be. We got to talk about Amanda's manifestation moment. Because everything is a moment with Amanda. And so while Rachel Zoe brings Dorit and Kyle to the Hamptons for their like, don't you guys want to be friends again? I'm going to introduce you to Donna Karen at dinner, a little jaunt to the Hamptons. The rest of the women get a slightly less prestigious invitation. to Amanda's house, which is, as you know, Kyle's old house that Sutton also used to live in for a manifestation moment dinner.

And when I tell you, the screech that I let out, when they show that in front of Amanda's front door, she has a doormat that says, Money Queen and Co. Like, what are we doing here? What the hell is going on? It's getting weird. Because they're showing them a dinner in the Hamptons at Tutuil Giorno. And Kyle's like, oh, wow, whatever the group is doing at home right now, it cannot be as cool as this. Hard cut to the manifestation and co, Money Queen and Co.

Matt, outside the door. And I am speechless. us because we see like Sutton and Kathy walking in and then Bose. I mean, Bose has clocked Amanda's shit since day one. She walks and she goes, money queen and co. This is a billboard. This is new beau reish. This says, I have arrived. I just every time Bose is commenting on whatever Amanda has going on, it just tickles me. And Sutton's clowning how she calls everything a moment. And then they sit down at the table. And this is reminding me of on Scary Island back in the day when Bethany had the like skinny girl gift bags for everyone.

And Kelly was like criticizing how everything was branded. And she was like saying that it was creepy. So they're sitting down at their places. And Amanda has given them all these like ugly ass manifestation moment cups and straws. And a signed copy of her book. Like, giving people who are allegedly your friends a signed copy of your book as like the hostess gifted a party, don't give me your weird fucking money book. The whole point of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is that everyone on this show is a money queen in her own right.

Not a self-styled money queen, of course, because literally nobody else would ever want to be called that, besides Amanda weirdo Francis. But anyway, she gives them all their lovely gifts. And then she says, okay, it's time for manifesting. And Bose is like, damn, it's like sex without foreplay. But Amanda's talking about how manifesting has always worked for her. Because when she was a kid, she had a Malibu Barbie book. And Malibu Barbie had a three-story house in Malibu and a convertible.

and from her three-story house in Malibu, she could see dolphins from the window. And she goes, when I was, when I got me house in Malibu, it was three stories with an elevator, and I had a convertible, and I could see dolphins from a window. So everybody's manifesting, but I did it on purpose. On porpoise.

How's that? You can see dolphins from the window? I'm so sorry. It's just like everything that comes out of Amanda's mouth, it's like, girl. Can you like be fucking for real for a second? It actually is wild to me how like locked in to this like ridiculousness she is. And again, like if you, there's nothing wrong with like being into manifesting. But the whole package and the way she presents it and she's like,

everybody take your notebooks and write out the thing that you want the most. She again has just like no concept of what's going to land with this group and watching her again get into this thing where Sutton brings up again the issues with Derreet and she's saying, you know, at the end of the day you were talking about her marriage and in this group what is going to earn you the respect and the the, you know, relationship with the other words. women is when you have thoughts about something or have talked about somebody copying to that and owning it and saying it to their face and having the conversation and then moving on. And Amanda's just like, no, I don't subscribe. I object to that. I like the parameters. Oh, I just don't.

I can't even believe. What? You're adults. And the way that every single person now for the second or third time in a row is like, oh my god babe this isn't how it works what are we doing here and sutton is like you can't be such a wimp amanda she's like oh please oh you're at my house don't call me a wimp i love erika in the confessional she's like babe a wimp in this group we call each other and i just love the montage of every time a woman in this group has called another woman in this group a

It's like, come out! And it's like, yeah, respectfully, Amanda, like, you need to get to the point where somebody could call you the C word and just kind of like brush it off. And so if you're having like a visceral reaction, if you're feeling threatened, because something called you a wimp, yeah, grow the fuck up, truly.

Feels like every product claims real protein these days.

So keep it real. Look for the seal.

Real California Milk. You thought this was your run club era. Turns out, it was more of a thinking about run club era. The good news? Someone's marathon training is about to start. Sell your workout gear on Deepop. Just snap a few photos, and we'll take care of the rest. They get their race day fit, and you get a payout for trying.

Someone on Deepop wants what you've got. Start selling now. Deepop. where taste recognizes taste. I think we should touch on traders a little bit. So like, wee-wee-wee-wee-spoiler alert. I got to say, I'm losing a little bit of patience with traders this season because Eric gets recruited, ultimatum, whatever.

So Eric and Rob are the traders now. We're in like boy-boy castle territory, Mojo Dojo Castle House. and what do they do? The first fucking thing that they do is murder Durinda. Durinda had so much fun making it to like five or six breakfasts and it's all over.

So there are no housewives left. There's no Bravo people left. I mean, what is there left for the girls in the gays but like Johnny and Tara? Which like love them. I've been loving the Olympics. They're doing such a great job.

I actually, they are like really, really good at their jobs doing figure skating commentary to the point where like I think that they are they have like such a good knack for like they have the technical expertise they are giving you the like storyline and drama of like the background of the people and who's expected to do well and who had trials in the past and all of this stuff also Johnny this is really crucial for figure skating he he speaks Russian And so many of the coaches, and, you know, most of the Russian athletes aren't on the main competition

circuit these days because of world events. But like when the coach is speaking to the athlete, he's like translating what they say. They're really good at their job. Bravo, Johnny and Tara. But on traitors, it's like they're in this weird place where suddenly everybody thinks that Johnny and or Tara are traitors. It's like, yeah, sure, whatever. And so at the roundtable, they decide that they are going to finally like unveil how close they are.

Not that they've really been keeping it a secret. But they're like, if we team up and we maximize our joint sleigh at the roundtable, everybody will know that we're not traitors. I'm like, I don't know that that's actually how this works. Because the second, Tara gets to the round table and she's like, so I know that Johnny and I are not traitors. and Kristen Kish is like, wait, like, how do you know? Like, how do you know that he's not? And she's like, because he's not, we're best friends. I would know.

And it's like, the whole point of this game is that you're lying to people. And so as much as I love Johnny and Tara, I do think that they are a little bit, they're overestimating how much it matters that they are besties outside of the game. Because if you're like Natalie from Survivor, you're like, oh yeah, if my best friend was here, I would like fuck her over in a second. So like it just doesn't carry the same weight that I think they think it does. But credit, credit where it's due, Tara and Johnny kind of whip the votes at this roundtable, and they get Stephen Coletti banished.

Sweet Stephen from Laguna Beach or the one tree hill, depending on your cultural references. But yeah, we're in an interesting place in the season because we're close to the end. but a lot of the people that I was most excited about have gone. And now it feels like we're in this weird in between where I'm like, who's going to win? Who do I think is going to win? Do I actually care who wins? Eric was such a non-factor for me for most of the season. And now he's one of the two traders.

So he's like occupying a very important position. I just don't know. It's not that I'm not enjoying it. I still think it's enjoyable. Um, but I'm kind of like, I feel like I'm a little more arms length than I was a few weeks ago when it was like Candace and Lisa and Durinda and I miss my girls. We've still got Mora Higgins. I think she's going to make it to the end. But, um, you know, traitors is fun. It is what it is. It is. It is what it is. Truly so many shows. I mean, we keep talking. We're going to catch up on Real House of Potomac. The reunion started, but we're going to talk about. We're going to talk about. about it more next week. Valley Persian style. I will just say, I have been catching up on Valley Persian

style. And I think that this show is so good. And they have done such an excellent job at like balancing what worked so well on the valley with this like unique flavor and the characters that they have found. Obviously, we love Maris and Reza and Galdessa. We've known them forever. you know, Tommy is there when he wants to be. Adam is a great presence on the show. But some of these new people that they have found, first of all, if you have not been watching, but if you have, if you've been watching,

the Palm Springs trip was great. First of all, so you've got Natasha and Amir, and they're going through this whole saga because Amir was previously married and his wife passed away. And Natasha is struggling with like, is he still in love with his dead wife and can I ever be enough and he wants to talk to a medium and he goes to visit her grave every year like that's a very heavy can of worms that they're dealing with meanwhile you have this woman's guy who is like reality TV gold because she's like

kind of nuts and I say this with like utmost respect because I'm enjoying her lot on the show. Like, she's like a little loony tunes because they're at dinner in Palm Springs. First of all, this show, the name of the show, the valley Persian style, she is complaining to anyone who will listen about how much she hates living in the valley. She's like, they don't have the restaurants I like. I don't have the food. I don't like to eat there. I don't like the shops, the restaurants, the houses. It's not for me. I don't like the valley. It's not my taste. She's like, it's fine for all of you. Yeah, that's okay. But like me, I would like to live in L.A. I would like to live in the hills or whatever.

And then this thing with her and her BFF, Tenin, first of all, Tenin, one of the most stunning women I have ever laid eyes upon. Just like striking, strikingly beautiful. Oh, my God. And, okay, so Sky's a jewelry designer. Her jewelry is very expensive. Tenin is doing skin care. She has a serum, one product.

Good for her. Women in STEM. But Sky, they're having this whole argument, and they're at the dinner table. And Sky goes, have you ever bought a piece of my jewelry? And she's like, yeah, like I've got like a million things. And she's like, full price. I mean, full price. She's like, well, I buy it with the friends and family discount that you give me,

you fucking psycho. Like, yeah, if you give me the discount or price, that's what I'm going to pay. And she's like, you don't support my business. And the way that Sky is handling this whole situation with the group, it is thrilling to watch. I mean, she's nuts, but like I'm loving it. But like, you should watch it. But we'll catch up on that and more.

You know, I had my talk with Reza. I'm excited for you guys to see that. Just like lots of stuff going on. We'll catch up on Southern Charm next week. Austin and Audrey finally broke up and Sally.
