Saianide - RHONY Recap

10/10/2023
We’re almostttt to the finish line on this new RHONY reboot, and the closer we inch towards next week’s finale, the more it becomes abundantly clear that no matter what she says or does, Jessel is never going to win…. That, and that Sai just simply doesn’t like Jessel - no more, no less. Jessel tries to share something personal trying to connect? Sai says, “Nope - You’ve insulted me!” Pavit’s taking impromptu trips around the world to rack up points? Sai says, “You’re a liar and I’m going to heavily insinuate that you’re going for more than just a Banh Mi!” Ummm who died and made Sai the judge, jury and executioner of the group?!? And, in case the ladies (and we) were all confused, RHONY is not playing a never ending game of ‘Sai Says’ as much as it may seem to the contrary)! We’re talking this week’s RHONY, y’all…. And if you haven’t guessed, we’ve got some feelings about it!! Enjoy! Also, side note - travelling for points IS a thing and I’d take three days to get pampered on international first class flights without so much as a first though, let alone a second!

Nonetheless, Executive Producer hops on the mic with me to tackle this week's RHONY, and, needless to say, we both had a lot of feelings about it! *Note, the bar from RHONJ Season 5 was, in fact, Cubby Hole - not Henrietta Hudson's* Support the show*BUY US A COCKTAIL!* https://www.buymeacoffee.com/realitybitespod Check us out on our IG @reality.bites.podcast On TikTok @realitybitespodcast And, as always, please ‘Like, Comment, Rate and Review’ wherever you listen to your podcasts!

The end is here! We can't believe it snuck up on us as quickly as it did, but the season's over and lord knows it didn't spare any bodies left in Tamra's... I mean, IT'S... wake. It was quite the wild ride, and while I think we can all agree that we wish it ended on, say, any other party theme than Gina's Little Shop of Circus Horrors, it doesn't take away from the season overall, which did not disappoint. Crack the whip, and let the circus begin! Disclaimer: For anyone who's not into our Taylor Talk, no shame, but you may want to skip from 05:50 to 19:00!

Erineous On All Counts - RHONY Recap w/ Betsy & Executive Producer

9/27/2023
The end of the RHONY Trip from Hell is finally upon us (or, perhaps, this should be considered the reboot's version of Scary Island??), and the chickens are coming home to roost for Erin and her (not) admittedly shit-talking ways. And with Lauren off today, Executive Producer hops on the mic with me (Betsy) to talk all things RHONY! RHONY Recap starts @ 22:40 Also, a quick note about Southern Charm - this week's recap will cover last week's "boys" episode as well as this coming week's counterpart following the ladies, allowing us to juxtapose them both as the gossip makes its way through the friend group. And don't worry, Lauren will be back for the rest of this week's episodes!
