    What’s Going On at Bravo?! Gibson Johns Talks RHOSLC Premiere, The Valley & Southern Hospitality

    Gibson Johns of Gabbing with Gib joins Kaya for an extra-gabby Bravo episode! Before getting into the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City premiere, Gibson shares what he’s hearing and seeing around some of Bravo’s biggest shows. What is going on with Southern Hospitality? What did he see while cameras were rolling at Carl Radke’s Soft Bar anniversary party for Summer House? And what should happen with The Valley now that its cast is shifting? Kaya and Gibson talk Scheana and Brock potentially fitting into The Valley, Lala’s role on the show, Brittany, Zack and Kristen’s complicated friendships, and which stories they still want to see explored. Then it’s all RHOSLC. They break down the powerful way the premiere centered Mary Cosby, Whitney and Meredith seemingly returning to their natural state of enemies, Bronwyn finally leaving Todd and entering her dating era, Heather’s new relationship with Tripp and Lisa revealing just how serious things became between her and John. Plus, Gibson and Kaya discuss whether this could be a completely different season for Bronwyn, why Heather having a man might actually change her role within the group and John Barlow opening up about struggling with Lisa becoming the bigger breadwinner.

    RHUGT Miami: Drunk Luann Takes Over, Lisa Barlow Breaks Down & Vicki Gets Called Out w/ Raven

    The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th Celebration has arrived in Miami, and Kaya of Bravo We're Black and Raven of Bitch Is Better are recapping what might be the funniest episode of the season. First, Vicki Gunvalson has some explaining to do. Porsha Williams and Gizelle Bryant question why Vicki really left the Atlanta celebration early and whether it had less to do with being tired or uncomfortable and more to do with watching NeNe Leakes receive a huge welcome while Vicki's own RHOC cast barely acknowledged her. Then Lisa Barlow ends up back in the hot seat. Porsha tries to explain why Lisa's immediate defensiveness rubbed the women the wrong way, while Gizelle brings up the criticism Lisa has received from Whitney, Bronwyn, Heather and Angie. Lisa explains that constantly feeling attacked on RHOSLC has made her defensive — and eventually the emotions become too much. Meanwhile, Luann de Lesseps is having the time of her LIFE. Luann flirts her way through Miami, interrupts nearly every serious conversation, gets on Porsha's nerves, makes Vicki's toast almost impossible, loses her shoes and spends the ride home giving the women a nonstop mixture of music promotion, dating advice, etiquette and general Countess wisdom. We also talk about Alexia and Marysol joining the ladies in Miami, why RHOM deserved more representation on the trip, Kyle navigating the drunken chaos sober, the accusation that Lisa talks to bloggers, and why this season of Ultimate Girls Trip has been such a fun reminder of what makes Housewives work. Plus, before the recap: NeNe's comments about potentially returning to RHOA, Charisse feeling left out of Ultimate Girls Trip, Practical Magic 2, the Chrisleys, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and more.

We break down Sai and Jessel becoming unexpected besties, Sai opening up about her separation and marriage, Erin finding herself at the center of another feud, and the new Housewives who could finally breathe some life into the RHONY reboot. We also get into Martha Stewart's surprise appearance with her makeup artist Daisy, Haley's chaotic introduction, Erica's billionaire husband, Pavit becoming a food influencer, Chanel Ayan warning Jessel about Erin, and the party confrontation that ends with Erin being told to leave. Before RHONY, we're talking about the new Real Housewives of Potomac trailer, Karen Huger's return, Robyn being back in the mix, Stacey's relationship and why Potomac looks like it may be heading into a strong new season. Plus: Beauty in Black Season 3, Ultimate Girls Trip, producer manipulation behind classic Housewives gossip moments and why so much of what happens on Girls Trip appears ready to spill into the individual franchises.

    Lanterns Episode 4: Hal vs. John Gets Messy | Bravo We’re Black x I Ken Not

    Bravo We’re Black x I Ken Not returns to the DCU to break down Lanterns Episode 4! Kaya and Kendrick get into the growing tension between Hal Jordan and John Stewart, Sinestro’s warning, John potentially becoming the new Green Lantern, Hal secretly submitting bad progress reports about him, the Rushville mystery and the episode’s Manhunter reveal. We also discuss why Hal may be more afraid of being replaced than he wants to admit, why Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler are such a strong pairing, and how Lanterns continues to feel more like True Detective and a buddy-cop mystery than a traditional superhero series.

    Shamea, Bolo & Gerald… Now It Makes Sense | RHOA Hot Topics ft. Raven

    Raven of B!tch Is Better joins Kaya for a Bravo hot-topics episode that starts with the Shamea Morton and Bolo scene everybody is talking about.Now that we’ve seen the scene from Shamea’s Todd Tucker-produced movie, does her husband Gerald’s discomfort with her acting career make a little more sense? We get into whether Shamea downplayed what she filmed, why Todd chose THAT clip to post and all the RHOA history that makes Bolo being involved even messier. Then we talk Phaedra Parks and CT Tamburello, whether this relationship is real, why we’re somehow already invested, and Phaedra’s impeccable timing. Finally, we go through some iconic Housewives songs and actually read the lyrics—from Cynthia Bailey’s “The Peach Life” to Porsha Williams’ “Flatline” and more. Plus: the Emmys, Meredith Marks on Threads and the usual Bravo We’re Black chaos.
