Andy's Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast Sarah Galli

Sarah puts out the #writergirl bat call, after reading a thinly disguised anon quote from Carole about Andy in New York Magazine. Her dream team assembles on Zoom, bts tea in hand: Kate Aurthur (Variety's editor-at-large) and Louis Staples (writer and Housewives anthropologist). They stretch their writer/analysis muscles, tell Aviva's ghostwriter she's not needed, and deep dive into all things VPR, The Valley, and Summer House. It's a true mention it all: inside scoop following Kate's moderation of a Variety reality TV panel (with Alex Baskin, natch), which Pump Rules star made the surprising decision to decline a Variety interview (...), the impact of podcast pollution on VPR's ecosystem, why The Valley serves as a helpful form of birth control (and the joys of staying single vs. being married to Jax), confirmation from Kate about what really happened between Janet and Zack after finale cameras went down, and, of course, some feedback on Ciara and West. The Scandoval era may be winding down, but this convo is just getting started - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 546!

Sarah watches the OC trailer and immediately books an Uber Pool to the moon (what better location to dance with franchise stars, especially with BravoCon 2024's location confirmed as "your heart"). Deflated a bit by some of the stressors in Franklin Lakes, she takes a Via back to earth, thankful for a *two-hour* double episode with one of her absolute fave Bravoholic voices: writer Rafi D'Angelo (overpricedvodka.com). They settle in for a wild and winding agent-of-chaos two-parter ep: an alternate universe in which Alexis doesn't date Shan's ex, the instinctive right choice of casting OC newbie Katie, a possibly surprising choice of who should remain on RHONJ following a likely cast cull, the difficulty of relying on a “by any means necessary” ethos as Bravoholics (and at the polls), the importance of being able to tolerate discomfort, who is truly the impediment to plot on NJ, Jackie's choices with Tre and Jen vs. Marg and Meliss, and ya know, the joy of a TV screen that fills the room and spirit. And, yes, Bethenny v Chanel. Louis may not love this episode, maybe he just needs to take a different kind of walk - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 545, Part 2!

Sarah watches part 1 of the Summer House reunion, and runs to the cloffice to record a triage-style ep with such haste that she nearly falls over the desk. Undeterred by such small inconveniences, she focuses on the big picture: shocking new details about West and Ciara's post-filming situationship, petty puppetry (who is Geppetto in West's narrative? the audience?), good guy cosplay, Paige DeSorbo, girl's girl, Danielle's part time gig as the president and CEO of leaking ish, Captain Lee's issue with Carl, and the difficulty with understand Carl's narrative around "staying together" with Lindsay, when the timeline/talk points elsewhere. What would Jesse Solomon do - insert himself in a convo when he should've stayed quiet - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 544! Girls rule.

Sarah hears about Frank's proposal to Dolo, and immediate takes a Benadryl (random mall diamonds and wind up toys? This is a crisis). Luckily, inspiration comes in many forms, and this week's NJ is no exception. She unpacks some nuanced forms of escapism when it comes to NJ's family matters, production's season goals (survival?), Jackie's promise ring of 'truth' to Teresa and Jen, Melissa and Danielle’s convo about family and possible regret, and Teresa's anger delay. Don't spell napalm unless you've mastered ingredientses first - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 543!

Sarah volunteers to join Dolo's charity softball league (listen, if "Dr." Sara can use a title she doesn't deserve, then Sarah is a neurosurgeon). Undeterred after Dolo demures, she hits a home run (or at least day dreams about a certain RHONJ son and, ahem, second base), with a RHONJ deep dive catch-up: an evolving opinion on book gate, the importance of validating grief, Danielle's family fracture, the impact of Tre vs. Joe and Melissa for the kids, Rachel and Fessler's convo about Teresa (and how the cast is attempting to navigate "do not film with her/them"), and more. Little did Sarah know, the RHONJ reunion would be cancelled within hours of this recording (so thank god for the emergency ep, also up now) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 542!
