The Bravo Rundown
Genevieve and Sonia are two friends who met online through a shared love of analytical deep dives into pop culture and Bravo TV. While the two live almost 2,000 miles apart, that doesn’t get in the way of their dissection of relationships and drama, it only enhances their discussions. Join them each week as they dive deep into the hottest Bravo topics.

E42 - Switching RHONY Sides & Other Bravo Plot Twists
Show notes
We’re diving deep into all of this week’s Bravo shows! Are we switching sides on RHONY? Are the feuds on RHOSLC heading down the same path as RHONJ? Did Vicki actually give Casita Gina her flowers on RHOC? Is Robyn playing the voice of reason on RHOP? And the Summer House crew keeps finagling their way into the Bravo headlines, so we have to discuss the gossip surrounding In the City casting and why Kyle and West were beefing in the comments section. We wrap things up with a Halloween/Bravo Rapid Fire game. Come rundown the week in Bravo with us!

E41 - RHONY Old, RHONY New, Salt Lake City, & Potomac Too
Show notes
We are dialed into this season of RHONY and have plenty to break down: Moskito Island, Carole’s involvement in those files, rumors about Jessel’s husband, Sai’s divorce, and who drank out of Hailey’s pee cup! And don’t worry, we have plenty to say about our other Housewives on RHOP, RHOSLC, and RHOC. We also discuss our vintage RHONY gals and their new show, The Golden Life. Did Bravo make a mistake? We get into the Bravo headlines of the week, including RHONJ casting, the new Texas Bravo show, and all the news coming out of FanFest.

E40 - Talking Housewives With A Housewives Expert
Show notes
This week, we chat with Housewives author and researcher Evie Psarras! Evie shares the process of writing her book, Lessons From the Housewives: What TV’s Most Iconic Women Taught Me About Strength, Resilience, and Embracing the Chaos, and we guess which Housewives she interviewed as part of her research. Then, we dive into all the Housewives shows with Evie, covering RHOP, RHONY, RHOSLC, and RHOC, and get her takes as someone who studied Housewives throughout her collegiate career. And, of course, we had to include Evie in our Bravo rapid-fire round, where it’s all about relationships!

Did Lisa Barlow really get invited to the Oscars? Is Erin accusing Hailey of breaking up a marriage basically the equivalent of being called “jam”?

E37 - RHOSLC vs. RHONY
Show notes
A new housewife has entered the Salt Lake villa, and we discuss how it could potentially change the alliances on RHOSLC and move the show forward. RHONY is chugging full steam ahead, and are we getting an idea of the two teams with Jessel and Erin being the opposing leaders? Next Gen ended, but we still want more! We dig into the RHOC luau and take a couple of tangents to reflect on the world of Housewives. We wrap things up with our rapid-fire Bravo-style game. Come run down the week in Bravo with us!
