Betches Media presents Ha ha laugh funny Mention It All A Bravo by Betches podcast We don't say that But now we said it With me, Dylan Hafer We'll go check

Hey everyone Welcome back to the Mention at All podcasts We have a new week Has arrived And we have a surprising amount to talk about today because last week

When I was mapping out My little schedule I was like, okay We're going to have OC that I didn't get to last week That's a lot of fun We're going to have

Potomac to share some thoughts on. I think they're off to a great start on their season. Little did I know that between Thursday and today, we would be getting not just a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills trailer, but also a Southern Charm trailer I've been asking, I've been, I've been begging, I've been down on my knees asking where is the Southern Charm trailer? Because it feels like it's been, it has been like a year and a half since we've seen these people. We ask, they deliver. Season 10 of Southern Charm coming December 5th season, whatever it is, of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills coming November 19th. I'm going to share some thoughts on those trailers and those seasons that we have

ahead. But first, an unexpected piece of news that came out of London Town this weekend where the Real Housewives of Orange County have been having not the best time in a city that I think is hard not to have a good time in. We are getting Real Housewives of London in. 2025, it's officially happening. So over the weekend, if you have not been paying attention, they did the first ever Hayu fan fest in London. And for the people who don't spend enough time on Twitter to know this, Hey You is kind of like the British version of Peacock, but only reality TV.

It actually is owned or run or something by NBC Universal. So it is kind of like within that umbrella. But so that's how, for a lot of our. British friends and lovers. I think it's in Canada, too. That's how they watch Housewives a lot over there. So, Hey, you had this fan fest. They're doing one for Bravo in Miami in a few weeks.

So I'm excited for that, but they had a handful of Housewives. Jessel was there. Sutton was there. Who else was Lisa Barlow? It was really funny to see photos of all of these women in London together. But the big announcement of the weekend is that, Hey You is premiering an original Real Housewives of London show. It's supposed to be coming late 2025.

They haven't started filming yet. But what I am really curious about is how are we going to watch this? Is this going to be on Peacock? Are the episodes going to be dropping every week? Because if you're aware, international housewives shows exist all over the world, I think I read somewhere that this is like the 30th global Housewives franchise. Like there are dozens of shows that you probably have never watched or even heard of in places all over the world. And many of them are not easily available in the U.S.

There's been some, I think they put, one of the Australian ones was on Peacock for a while maybe, or like you can buy episodes on iTunes. They've been findable here and there, but it's not like they're just Bravo shows. It's not the same, you know, Dubai was the first international housewomen. franchise that Bravo was producing in-house. So what I'm curious about is at the fan fest this weekend, they were using language that it's going to be on Hey You exclusively. Now, I'm assuming that that means exclusively in territories where Hayu exists.

I feel like they're going to put this on Peacock or they're going to put it on Bravo. I feel like there's going to be a way for us to watch this, but we don't have details yet. But I do think it's really interesting. The production company, you know, every one of the, these shows has a production company behind it. A lot of them are, you know, the same in the U.S. But the production company that's doing Real Housewives of London, also it's called Monkey Kingdom, they do Real Housewives of Cheshire as well, which has been on for 17 seasons in the UK. So Housewives in the UK is not new. We just don't really watch it over here. I mean,

I'm sure some of you have. I've heard it's good. But Housewives of Cheshire is on ITVB. It's a completely different network that's not NBC Universal owned. It's like they licensed to the Housewives name like they've done in so many countries to another network that's based in the UK. So this being a Hey You Original, it's going to be different. It's going to be, I think it's probably going to be a lot of fun. I don't know if it'll be good. It's too soon to know.

But I really hope that we have a way to watch this. So I'm just saying for Andy and whoever else is involved, please make sure, please, for for all of us asking, get us Real House Eyes of London, streamable, at the same time it's airing in the UK, and we just want the women. We want all of them, especially if, like, if Dubai's not coming back, if Jersey's going to be on, you know, timeout for God knows how long.

If, who knows what's happening with Vanderpump? We're going to need these shows. We're going to need the pipeline to be refreshed. I feel like Real House Size of London might be the thing to do it. But also, speaking of the pipeline, Pipeline getting refreshed. Like I said, we have Southern Charm and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills coming back in Q4 of this year. So Beverly Hills is premiering November 19th, which is a Tuesday, which means that it's going to be paired with Real Housewives of New York City, which I actually think is a really good decision.

Because if you'll recall, last season of Beverly Hills was paired with Miami. And both of those, I think it was on Wednesday nights. I don't know why I remember these things. they premiered within a week of each other, so pretty much the entire time they were airing, they were back to back on the same night. And while that is a fun night of programming for a television network,

it really, really did not benefit Miami in terms of the conversation around it because it was just hard to devote time to both. As somebody who schedules a podcast every week, and also as people out in the community who have to keep up with TV and have real lives, putting two kind of top-tier shows back-to-back on the same night is just, it's a tough ask, and it's hard for one of those shows not to be kind of given short shrift.

And so I think not to like dog on New York too much, but I think that this season that New York is having right now, I feel like it doesn't have a whole lot of juice. You know, we're talking about Jenna's Pavlovah and whether there's a fake cockroach under it in the Hamptons for half an episode. I feel like they need a little bit of a boost. It's like when you put the new show that you really want people to watch with the Super Bowl as the lead in, people are going to fucking watch this season of Beverly Hills because let me tell you, that super tease, that trailer they put out,

it looks hot. It is, Beverly Hills, they have a tendency. They have a tendency to disappoint us. And I'm not saying this as somebody, like I have enjoyed many seasons of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, even recent ones, I think they give us glamour, they give us luxury, they give us fun moments and good arguments, but that it hasn't really risen to the heights in recent seasons. And even last year, when Kyle was going through her issues with Mauricio that led up to the separation,

it felt like we were getting 30% of the story, 40% of the story, definitely not more than half. And so watching this trailer for the season, you know, I've got my guard up a little bit. I'm not 100% confident in these women, but I'm willing to meet them where they are. And I'm willing to go into the season with an open mind and a sense of optimism, as I think we all should, you know, set the intentions in a good place. And set the intentions in a good place of thank God, Doreet, and Kyle are finally fighting. They're finally doing it. We have had, it feels like we have had several seasons, season after season, of Doreet and Kyle, like, on paper their best friends. They, like, tell everyone their best friends.

But it kind of seems like they don't get along very well, or they always have some issue between them, or they're never quite on the same page about things, or they just fucking annoy each other. Because, Doreet, look, Doreet, I love her as a housewife. Doreet's annoying. And I think it's, you know, now we said it. It's okay to acknowledge that somebody is sometimes just a little bit of a pain in the ass. And I think Dorets a pain in the ass. And honestly, so is Kyle. And when two people are both pains in the ass, they might click for a little bit, but then it's really tough to make that last.

And seeing in this trailer, obviously Kyle and Mauricio is still going through their. Are we still calling it a separation? I mean, come on. In the trailer, Garcel's like, Kyle, I think you might need to file. And we, look, separation, again, everybody should do what they need to do. And I feel like I'm going to get comments that are like, you've never been divorced. So how dare you have an opinion on somebody else needing to get divorced? I'm like, who cares?

If you're adults with money and you both want to go fuck other people, just get divorced. the kids are grown, except Porsche, but close enough. I just want Kyle to be free. And I want Maricio to be free. If Maricio wants to go hook up with like a 24-year-old, I don't want Kyle to look at that and be like, my husband, girl, go live your life. But seeing to read and PK,

and that finally hitting the fan, oh. Oh, I cannot wait to see. And of course, I'm sure it's been tough. I don't wish, you know, I don't wish it on anyone. But I am really, really genuinely curious and excited to see this unfold on the show. And then the thing of like Kyle's texting P.K., what's that? What's that about? I don't know.

I think there's a lot to be intrigued by on this season of Beverly Hills. I'm going to miss Crystal. I'll say it, but we have Kathy Hilton coming back as a friend. We have Jennifer Tilly showing up as a friend. We have Bose, our new housewife, who I am quite excited to get to know because I think she, it seems like she has an energy and the way I've seen the women kind of talking about her in the press and stuff and sort of interacting with her. I'm like, I feel like she is going to be a firecracker.

and I am always excited to have somebody new in the mix who I don't know exactly what we're going to get from her, but I feel like it's going to be energy. And we always need energy. And that's what I think right now we have new housewives on a lot of franchises that are giving us energy. I was just talking, I was talking in the office this morning about Katie on Orange County with one of my coworkers. And I was saying, I don't necessarily love. her, or I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of her individually, but I think she is doing such a great job this season as a housewife, as a first-season housewife.

The level to which she is under Heather's skin is, should be studied in a lab, it's not easy to really, like, knock Heather off her game like that. Like, Heather is so angry at Katie, and it's, it's kind of impressive. Bronwyn in Salt Lake City, she's doing big things, just a few episodes into her first season. I'm enjoying getting to know the new women on Potomac, and I think they're all kind of, they're getting their feet wet a little bit more, as we see this week, they're on this trip in North Carolina. Look, I'm sorry I talked bad about, like, whatever it is last week. I heard it's lovely.

I'm glad you've had good times when you've been there. I'm excited to see, you know, Stacey getting more into it. Her thing with Ashley is kind of bizarre, and I'm intrigued by it. You know, Jacqueline and Jazzy are arguing over who's a better side piece to Mia. Like, what are we doing here? It's like the sidekick Olympics. Kiyana, I don't know what planet she's on, but I'm enjoying getting to know her and her med spas on autopilot.

I'm glad to hear it. Oh, my gosh. So good, so good, so good. Everything you want for summer is at Nordstrom rack stores now and up to 60% off. Stock up and save on the brands you love like Vince, Sam Edelman, Frame, and Free People. Join the Nordy Club to unlock exclusive discounts,

Done hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear up on that envelope? It's time for a little in-person spring treat. It's time for a trip to Ross. Work your magic. It's Southern Charm.

This trailer, so I was excited to have Southern Charm back because I felt like they had really good momentum coming out of season nine. But I didn't necessarily know what to expect. And so watching this trailer, it's season 10. It's premiering on December 5th, which is a Thursday, which means it's going to kind of take that OC time slot that we've been having the last few months. So I think that's like a good substitution. So we have some new women in the cast.

There's a new girl Molly who tells us that she used to sext Craig. Who among us? I mean, who didn't used to sexed Craig? Like, if you live in Charleston and you're blonde and you have a pulse, I think you got something suggestive from Craig at one point or another. You know, throw a rock. You'll hit somebody who used to sexed Craig. We have another new girl, Sally, who I think is the one that was on The Bachelor.

I can't with The Bachelor stuff. I just, it passed me by years ago, and I've never looked back. But I don't know. She seems like she's really getting into it. Of course, we're missing Olivia this season. Olivia has left the building. I don't know why. I want her back.

I don't. She's like engaged, I think. God bless, Godspeed. We still have Taylor Ann. Taylor Ann is always, you know, she's going to be finding some mess. Madison is there. Oh, my God. I'm excited.

I'm just excited. I think that Southern Charm, it's one of those shows where it's like a little bit of, it's like a little bit of that toxic relationship where you kind of are just like, oh, like, I wonder what they're up to. I wonder what my girls are doing in Charleston. We got to see them.

Oh my God, there is a moment in the trailer, though, where it's J.T. who was new last season. You guys remember J.T. It's J.T. JT and Vanita having this one-on-one conversation where he's like, I do, he's like, I do feel it have a connection with you or something. I'm like, that sent a chill down my spine.

Because first of all, does Vanita not have a boyfriend? Did I miss something? I thought Vanita had a man. Maybe not. It's been a minute. I don't keep up. I don't really keep up with these people that much when their shows aren't on.

I wish them well. First of all, I thought she had a man. Second of all, if she doesn't have a man, girl, date anybody else. J.T. is like, look, I'm sure J.T. is a lovely man. I'm not sure that he is. There's a chance J.T. is a lovely man. But like, Vanita? Vanita is like a real person.

And that sounds really mean. Like, J.T.'s a real person, too. But, like, J.T. is like a Charleston boy. Like this entire show is built around the premise that like guys in Charleston have like Peter Pan syndrome and are their only goals in life are to like black out and hook up with girls. And if you if you find one who doesn't, there's probably something else wrong. You know, then it's Thomas Ravenel and you really need to run for the hills. But like, J.T. and Vanita? Oh.

I really hope she's just doing that for the storyline. because if not, yikes, girl, get out of there. There's a lot of tension, as always, between Craig and Austin and Shep this season because they think that Paige has changed him. Look, I like, I don't mind Paige on Southern Charm. I think that they've been smart in the last couple seasons to kind of bring her in and out.

And so she'll be, you know, she'll be there for a couple episodes. She'll maybe be at like one group event, but they haven't really tried to fully integrate her with the show itself. And I hope that they kind of stay on that track. I mean, obviously, Paige is still on Summerhouse. We're going to see her, you know, in a few months on Summerhouse. I just don't think we need the double duty full time.

And so what that means for their relationship? I don't know. Because at this point, it's been, what, three years? And they're still like, yeah, I don't know. We're just, I don't want to leave New York. don't want to leave Charleston. I don't know what the endgame is there, but I like seeing Paige in small amounts.

And so I'm excited for that too. But then probably the most surprising moment in the trailer is when, so there's this woman, I can't remember her name, but I think she's like a love interest of Shep perhaps, and we see Madison talking to Miss Patricia, and she goes, she's a huge fan. of Southern charm. The fourth wall is broken.

I did not think we would ever have Miss Pat in a fourth wall breaking scene conspiring against a new lady on the cast. This is, I don't know the backstory here. I'm excited to find out. I'm excited to watch it unfold. I think they go to, I don't know. I don't know where they go on their trip.

But I am like, all of a sudden, my ears have perked up. My ears were perked. This trailer was good. I wasn't ever like unperking my ears. But I'm like, what? This girl being a fan of Southern Charm, it's giving reality Vanteses.

Is Southern Charm having their reality von T's moment? I don't know. I don't have the answers. So I feel like I'm just sitting here. I'm sitting here with like a grand on my face because I'm like, what's going to happen? Is Patricia going to be Heather Gay on the beach in Bermuda? Is she going to kick this girlie out of the group?

I don't think so, but I'm, look, we can dream. We can conjecture. I obviously am excited for this season of Southern Charm. I'm kind of sad. It doesn't start until December, but I know I should be careful what I wish for because we already have a full plate of shows right now and it's not letting up anytime soon.

The fact that are we going to have five Housewives airing? No, wait, because, okay, so this week is the OC finale. That's October 31st, Halloween. And then three reunions. So that would be like November 7th, November. Oh, my God. There's going to be like one week where we have five Housewives shows. Wait, I'm scared.

Is anybody else scared? Maybe one of them will take a week off. You know, they like take a week sometimes. We're going to need it. We're going to be at that Miami fan fest. If you're going, let me know. We're going to be at that Miami fan fest, literally like looking like we just got dragged through the

mud. We're going to be tired. And that's not even to mention that this is all happening like two weeks after the election. God, I can't. Oh, my goodness. No, I'm very excited for all the things we have to come. I think it's going to be a great fall. I've been loving having housewives to talk about every single episode.

See you this summer. We should talk about Orange County, though, because, oh boy, like I said, season finale coming up this week, and this trip to London has been a goddamn shit show.

It's like, and I don't just mean shit show of what's happening with Shannon's internal. Oh my God. People talk about old Roney, and they're like, we need those ladies back because none of these new fake housewives are going to be on a trip, shitting themselves, running, you know, leaving stains on the sheets. Ramona and Sonia, we're leaving poop trails in Cartagena. Let me tell you, Shannon Bedore is no better. Katie is like standing there asking if she needs her to administer the enema. We have not evolved at all, and I mean that in at least partially in a good way. These women are off the rails.

And this trip to London, first of all, it feels like every. is like coming and going from the hotel in like 10 minute increments. And it's funny because I think they have sort of chopped this up a little bit because like they show them, a few of them go to Windsor. They're literally outside of Windsor Castle. And then it shows them getting back to the hotel like five minutes later. And they're like, we went and saw the palace. Windsor Castle and the palace are not the same thing.

Like if you're in London and you're like, oh, I'm going to walk over to Buckingham Palace, that's a little excursion. Going to Windsor is like a day trip, or at least half a day. They're really kind of like playing with the concept of London. They're like, oh yeah, we're just like out and about. Wherever they go to the Sunday roast dinner, I'm like, it looks like they're in like a ski lodge.

Where is this? I need like pins on a map. I need somebody to draw me up a map of their itinerary, partially so I understand it, and partially so next time I go, I can recreate some of these moments. But really, I feel like the thesis statement of the season of OC right now is that it feels like Tamara is in a shitstorm of her own making.

I think she is like, she's just doing a little too much. She has too many irons in the fire. She has, you know, she just has orchestrated to within an inch of her life. And it feels like it's all kind of like, it's not crumbling necessarily, but it's like there's a lot of heat on her right now. And both from the viewer's perspective and from everyone in the cast who's not, I guess,

like Heather or Katie, it feels like everybody's kind of like, girl, take a chill pill. Because, you know, another time in this episode, she's like yelling at Shannon across the table, you're a drunk, you're a drunk, you forget everything, you're a liar. And even Gina's like, can we like, Can we, like, cut it out with the drunk stuff?

Because that's, it's a little nasty. And, yeah, I mean, watching the show, I'm just like, it feels like there is a lack of tact in any of what Tamara is doing this season. Because then we left off last week that Jen had been given the information from Shannon about how two years ago Tamara had allegedly orchestrated a background check on Ryan. And so she storms up to the room and is screaming and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. blah, and then Tamara's reaction to that, other than to deny it or to sort of couch it in, you know, whatever, she says, well, Shannon was putting out there maybe with Travis's X, maybe spreading a thing that perhaps allegedly maybe Gina pushed Travis down the stairs. So Shannon, what do you think about that?

And it just feels, okay, first of all, this thing about Gina pushing Travis down the stairs, if it happened, allegedly, who knows, it comes completely out of left field. We know from earlier this season that Travis's ex is really causing problems for him and his relationship with Gina and for their expanded, blended family. There's like six kids involved here. First of all, can we not with the kids? We'll get to Emily's kids. Oh, my God.

But then not only is it like I don't really want this brought up again because it feels like it is so real-world messy. It also just feels so random. It's like I wasn't, we weren't talking about Gina and Travis. And like, yeah, maybe there's some dirt there that we can dig up later. but it's like, dig one hole at a time. Can we like, can we fill this in before we start on the next, like, patch of dirt? I think that it just feels like Tamara's trying to do a little too much, and it's like spinning out of control a little bit.

But, oh my God, the thing with Emily's kids, just even trying to make sense of this. So, Katie's daughter, babysat, Emily's boys, Luke and Keller, they're like eight-year-old twins, cuties. So Katie tells Heather that Emily's kids told her daughter that Heather's mean to

mommy and so they don't like her. So that's insinuating pretty directly that Emily talks shit about Heather in front of her kids. So then Heather's like, well, that's fucked up. Let me talk to Emily. She talks to Emily. Emily's like, babe, that's the opposite of what happened.

My sons told me that Katie's daughter, who was babysitting them, was talking shit about Heather to them. It's like the exact opposite of what Katie says happened. And look, do we know exactly what happened in that house? We're not going to get, you know, Luke and Keller in the confessional chair because the child labor laws or something. But like, you better believe Heather is going to take whatever opportunity she has to believe the worst thing about Katie. so she's going to believe, Katie, you were feeding something to your daughter who then fed something to Emily's sons, who then repeated it, making this whole shitstorm involving eight-year-old kids in some drama.

And it's like, it's so, it does feel messed up that whether, however this actually went down, because we weren't there. And like I said, we're not going to subpoena the eight-year-olds to tell us what happened. Katie kind of is left holding the bag. as the one who seems messy, because if she hadn't told Heather about this, we wouldn't be talking about Emily's eight-year-old sons on the show. And look, has Emily ever said something negative about Heather in front of the kids?

Maybe. Kids, listen. Even when you don't think they are, even when, you know, she might have said something offhand. They might have been in another room. You don't know. You never know. And of course, it's like, in five years on this show,

has Emily ever vented about Heather DeBrow within the walls of her home where maybe her sons could hear? probably. And I don't think that makes her like a shitty mom. I think it's weird to act like, it's weird to act like the worst possible thing you could do is like to talk shit in front of your kids because look, I don't have kids, but I like to talk shit. And if I have kids, I'm not going to put like an 18 year muzzle on myself of talking shit in my own home. It's a safe space. And if my kids want to be snitches, that's a separate conversation. And like, I think there is a difference between Emily.

I don't think anybody thinks Emily's like sitting down Luke and Keller and being like, okay, listen up. Kids, Heather is mean to mommy. This is something you need to know. Heather Dubrow, bitch. Like, there might have been an offhand thing, and I think we can talk about that without acting

like that's the worst thing Emily could do is to like say something where her kids could hear. But beside that, it just, it feels like, Katie kind of stepped in it a little bit again. And look, as I said earlier, I think she's doing a good job this season. I don't think that she, when I say that she made a mistake, this is not the kind of mistake where it's like, why is she still on the show? It's the kind of mistake where it's like, you made things worse for yourself, and now you're

going to have to talk about it at the reunion. And the reunion, oh my God, I'm so excited to see their reunion. Because knowing everything that happened in London this week and last week and the week before. They only have one episode left. And we haven't even gotten to the Ryan stuff. I mean, we've, we've touched it, but it hasn't like all the FBI, all of that, the show Hey Otani stuff. See, I know about baseball, World Series. We have one episode left. That shit better be supersized. If that's not an hour 15 episode, what do our 15 episodes even exist for? But yeah, we have one more episode and then the reunion.

And I feel like it's going to be like spicy. I don't know. I don't know what to expect, but I'm very excited for it. Oh, God, Potomac. I mean, I feel like we are, I feel like we're going to get to talk more about Potomac, hopefully in the next couple weeks. I'm really trying to get one of those ladies in here. But I, the thing this week, the thread,

within the group of Mia telling Karen that she thinks Stacey is uninteresting. And not only does she think Stacey is uninteresting, but everybody thinks Stacey is uninteresting. It's a group consensus. And Karen's like, oh, well, Stacey's my girl. So that's not good that I just brought her into this group and everybody thinks she's boring. So then Karen takes Stacey outside once she shows up to the lake house and is like, okay. So we've got some things to talk about. First of all, you need to tell your fucking daughter that you're getting divorced.

It's been a year. She's not stupid. Second of all, everybody thinks you're boring. Look, leave it to Karen to deliver the tough love. She's like, part one, treat your daughter like a human who can hear and understand things. Part two, unfortunately, it's been decided that you kind of suck. And I disagree that Stacey is uninterested. because I think she's deeply interesting.

From the little bit that I've talked about this season so far, I think you can tell I'm like, I really need to know what her deal is. But I think that I need to know what her deal is in a way that would not be as fun if I was trying to become friends with her. Because if you have somebody on a show who's giving like woman of mystery vibes a little bit or like a little bit lives in her own world, that's great TV. Because it feels like a mystery that you're trying to unpack. It's giving, there's something about her.

What is it? Where is she? Where's she from? What's her story? But if you're on a girl's trip and it's like, we just want to go on this boat and have a little cocktail and have a lot of fun. And Stacey's across the table being like, Ashley, when you told everybody I had a man, I felt like it was diminishing it. It's like, that's not fun. I don't think it's that she's boring.

I think it's that she doesn't seem like an easy person to get to know and to just have a good time with. And she might get there. She might not. She's very excited to sleep in a bunk bed, which is maybe a first on Housewives. She was like, oh, I was hoping I'd get a bunk bed. I've always wanted to share a room. Literally nobody on Housewives ever has been like, oh, yippie, I'm sharing a room. So congrats to her for her first girl's trip, getting to share a room.

Also, you know, I was talking about the old rony trips and the, you know, poop escapades. The room choosing shenanigans, Potomac is still winning for that every time. I am so glad we have them in our lives because watching Karen and Giselle realize that they are going to be forced to share a bathroom, just it's perfect. It's perfect to be. I mean, on a good day, they wouldn't want to share a bathroom, but the fact that they're not even getting a lot of right now, please, it's everything. It's everything. When Jezal's like, okay, so I got to pee first.

And Karen's like, do you have to say that? Do you have to say, I have to pee? Like you're a cow? Like, you have to pee. She's like, I will urinate when it's time. Just like, I love these women so much. I'm so glad that we are early in this season and we still have a long way to go with them because I'm just, I'm, I feel like Potomac is a gift right now because I had few expectations,

and it's really just delivering the laughs and the good times, and what more could you ask for? Thank you so much for listening, you guys. This was a, this was a fun one.
