  1. Bon Voyage, Vicki! (RHOC S20 E17 Recap)

    Show notes

    Bimbos, orange you glad we've made it to the end of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20?!

    Questions still remains: why is Gina so MAY-AD?

    Does Monster Energy drink have the opposite effect on Carmella?

  2. Britani, The Enemy Of (RHOSLC S7 E7 Recap)

    Show notes

    Are you in your Jupiter Year, Bimbos?

    This may have been the most chaotic Real Housewives of Salt Lake City episode in a long time!

    And no matter what your zodiac sign, we think this recap we have you in the opposite of retrograde! Whatever that is or means.

    31 min
  3. It's STILL About Tom (The Golden Life S1 E2 Recap)

    Show notes

    Are you feeling golden, Bimbos?!

    Does having some OG RHONYs back on your TV bring you cozy nostalgia?

    Is Sonja really just a good-time girl or is there something else going on?

    And WHY is it STILL ABOUT TOM?!

    30 min
  4. Daisy the Deprecator (RHONY S16 E8 Recap)

    Show notes

    Big Apple Bimbos, let hit up the fish market! Who would have thought that Real Housewives of New York would make a comeback on the fins of supermarket sushi?

    Also, Matt & Jenn still can't see eye-to-eye on Sai, is The Real Real actually Fake Fake, and Erin's children are just like us!

    But before the recap, Matt has a shocking AirBnB update and Jenn reveals how all the planets being in retrograde have really interrupted her peace.

  5. Spilling the Tia (RHOP S11 E3 Recap)

    Show notes

    We are back in Potomac, Bimbos, and are loving... Robyn? What in the GnA is in the water there!?

    Plus, Matt finally says something about Stacey's storyline that isn't so sycophanty (yes, that's now a word).

    41 min
  6. Gina and the Curious Case of the Casita (RHOC S20 E16 Recap)

    Show notes

    Bimbos, nobody loves a tiny backpack like Gina does. However, she does NOT love a tiny house!

    You know what we love? A day-drunk Heather Dubrow!

    But before we get into the Real Housewives of Orange County of it all, Matt discusses his most recent AirBNB experience. Hint: he feels the same way about it as Gina does a c*sita!

    45 min
  7. Burps, Queefs, and Cartier OH MY (RHONY S16 E7 Recap)

    Show notes

    RHONY is giving us a lot this season, don't you agree, Bimbos!?

    Is Hailey's marriage fake?!

    Is Erika gonna do a little more than burp?!

    Does Daddy Warbucks want to sponsor this podcast?!

    36 min
  8. The Emancipation of Karen Huger (RHOP S11 E2 Recap)

    Show notes

    Bimbos, we are LOVING this season of Real Housewives of Potomac so far!

    From Wendy's "I'm just an innocent baby" voice, to Karen's continual delusions, to Stacey just being*... what a joy to watch!

    Oh, and we're finding new ground this season because Gizelle APOLOGIZES!

    *Jenn wants you to know Matt wrote that because his obsession with Stacey is unhealthy.

    35 min
  9. Lisa Barlow Knowles (RHOSLC S7 E5 Recap)

    Show notes

    Bimbos, do we love Baby Beyoncé Gorgeous or do we find her insufferable? Matt & Jenn have very different takes on the Hypocrisy & Bullsh*it of it all!

    Plus, we come up with Bronwyn's own diss track that she should have used!

    33 min
  10. Erika's Abs & Epstein Island (RHONY S16 E6 Recap)

    Show notes

    Bimbos, are you buying what Carole's selling?

    Were Sai's questions warranted?

    And how unfair are Erika's abs?

    Plus, another gay husband rumor, how innovative!

    38 min
  11. G-Wagons, Jesus, and Gizelle (RHOP S11 E1 Recap)

    Show notes

    One of us calls it The Real Housewives of Potomac and the other calls it The Stacey Show. Who is who, Bimbos?

    Between Wendy's legal troubles, Tia's husband's Tinder, and Robyn welcome back outfit, the RHOP premiere was SO GOOD!

    45 min
  12. Lu York City (RHUGT 20th E8 Recap)

    Show notes

    It’s Luann’s world and we’re just living in it, and forced to listen to the speech that never ends. But is it still highly entertaining? We say yes!

    26 min
  13. Carmella High Water (RHOC S20 E12 Recap)

    Show notes

    Bimbos, be honest: how low can we go? Because one of us is in limbo with how Carmella is performing on this show.

    But also, is a champagne tunnel classy or trashy? You decide!

    Our latest Real Housewives of Orange County recap is definitely more fun than Shannon's indoor luau!

    30 min
  14. You're Just Bimbo Gorgeous (RHOSLC S7 E2 Recap)

    Show notes

    Who knew that a recap of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City would turn into a conversation about nipples!

    But also, Bimbos, we digging into whether or not Meredith should move forward with Whitney, just how did Justin develop those muscles, and why Quai isn't a full-time Housewife!

    43 min
  15. Hailey Puts the H in THC (RHONY S16 E3 Recap)

    Show notes

    Big Apple Bimbos rejoice! Our latest Real Housewives of New York recap is here and while we aren’t as high as Hailey (is anybody?) we’re high on how much we’re enjoying this show!

    Join us to discuss why Jessel has a shade writer but can’t deliver, Erin has a great idea but also can’t deliver, and how Carole really wants us to subscribe to that Substack.

    Plus, Jenn’s wondering if she should wear deodorant (please tell her yes).

    Oh, and we chat a little about the latest Mormon Wives Taylor Frankie Paul drama!

  16. Larsa Kardashian West (RHUGT 20th E7 Recap)

    Show notes

    We need to bring Miami back, Bimbos!

    Also, we love nostalgia on this podcast, but could Dorinda have had at least 1 (5) martini(s) at the Clip! Clip! Gangster Lunch!?

    But before we get into the recap, find out which Housewife Matt thinks left this pod a 1 star review!

  17. Red Flags, Rogue Rings, and a Mankle Monitor (RHOC S20 E11 Recap)

    Show notes

    Bimbos, did you enjoy the Vicki bookends of this episode?! How about a saucy Carmella showing up to film? Or maybe you loved Gina and TRAVVVIIIISSSS having a casual conversation on a tiny bridge?

    Whatever you took away from this week's Real Housewives of Orange County, let us tear it apart like only we Bimbos can!

    43 min
  18. Whoop It Down! (RHOC S20 E10 Recap)

    Show notes

    How do we feel about split cast trips, Bimbos? We'll tell you how we feel... not well, b*tch!

    Vicki continues to whoop it down so we workshop Jenn some rebuttals since Ryan was obviously too busy to do it for her.

    31 min
  19. The Bimbo Big Apple (RHONY S16 E1 Recap)

    Show notes

    If there’s any a bimbo loves, it’s a really big apple! And you know what, this season of The Real Housewives of New York seems A LOT more promising than the past two. And it leaves us asking: just how exactly does a boob break a nose?!

    30 min
  20. Vicki Gunvalson is Mrs. White (RHUGT Roaring 20th E5 Recap)

    Show notes

    Bimbos, this Ultimate Girls Trip recap really takes a turn when Jenn and Matt have vastly different takes on Heather Gay!

    They do share one thing in common, though: Vicki Gunvalson wouldn't be on either of their Housewives Mount Rushmores.

    But before all of that, Jenn's Self Checkout is asking: how do you approach a friend whose significant other you can't stand? You don't want to miss Matt's... interesting advice.
