Shannon Storms Beador was arrested for DUI and hit and run. With her dog. We discuss the fallout, videos, friends' statements and rumors surrounding the event. Are we ready for this season of Real Housewives of Orange County to wrap up? One of us is, one isn't. Is Tamra taking it too far by going after Jen's relationship in every scene? Spoiler alert - we think she needs to leave poor Jen alone. Traitors - whew! The casting rumors have been wild but we have a confirmed cast. Real Housewives of Salt Lake City was pure comedy gold this week. We've got a dramatic reading of Mary's amazing one-liners and of Meredith's rich drunk British woman cosplay...Speaking of Meredith's "YOU CAN LEAVE" moment, what are Angie and Meredith ACTUALLY fighting about? There's something more going on. There's so much awkwardness and very little charm on the Southern Charm premiere. And we dig some HOT tea out of the Cocktail Party vault from early last year.    PSA: Drinking and driving is the #1 cause of death on our roadways. It is NEVER OK to drink and drive.

The Summer House breakup continues to be messy. Carl's email to wedding guests is "leaked" to People Magazine, and we break it down. Is he accepting fault for calling the wedding off? Then, Lindsay shares a statement on Instagram...saying she is "humiliated" and has "no answers or closure on why". Ouch. Southern Charm is premiering this week, and is there a couple in trouble in Charleston? Plus we have an update on Naomie Olindo's court case. Real Housewives of Salt Lake City continues to be a holy mess, in the best way.

Salt Lake City’s divine premiere: Mary returns, New housewife Monica brings the mess, and are we really fighting over bathtub DNA?  

Hours before we sat down to record, we got some exclusive tea about Real Housewives of Atlanta and its future. We've been getting (and sharing) emails about this topic all summer, but today's tea is hot and straight from a source. The finale popped off and there's lots to discuss there. We have a theory about how some of the RHONY women might have been feeling during filming...and how that could affect their behavior. Brynn's life sounds like a movie. And Just Like That season 2 finale: pause at the end if you haven't watched. What we liked...and what we didn't.

We do a quick touch on Bethenny's "Post-Rachel update" pod as well as a few of the other reaction pods from Lala and Stassi. OC: Is John Jansen a fame sniffer? What is Shannon's motivation for protecting the relationship at seemingly all costs? Will there be repercussions from her latest rant about Gina? We love RHONY and now that we're getting to know the women a bit better, we've got fresh opinions. Justice for Jessel – why we think she's really giving Prime Housewife energy. The deep seated root to Brynn's flirting; is Sai really giving us everything, or is she setting the stage and keeping up her guard? And then, of course, we've got some good tangents for you this week on: breast exams, mistakes we made in our 20s, dating, and postpartum bodies.
