    #45 When the Breakfast Table Becomes a Battlefield 🏰 The Traitors S4E3

    This week on Bravoholics Anonymous, Lindsay St. Laurent (@filmakeher) is back with bestie Thomas Norman (@thomas_shmomas) to break down The Traitors US Season 4, Episode 3 — “Show Me Your Faces.” 🏰🕵️‍♀️ From luxury breakfast looks to full-blown strategy warfare, this episode had everything. We kick things off with a full fashion recap — from Candice serving Chanel-inspired mini skirt suits and pillbox hats, to Monet Exchange absolutely owning every red tartan moment, to Maura Moore’s gravity-defying hair that deserved its own roundtable. And of course… we had to talk about Alan Cumming’s canary-yellow Power Ranger villain outfit that divided us immediately. Then the game gets REAL. We break down the Traitors’ genius “murder in plain sight” move, why Rob’s strategy was actually brilliant television, and how it might change the way players approach the game going forward. Was it smart gameplay or way too risky this early in the season? Plus — the breakfast table explodes. Tiffany wastes zero time planting seeds, Michael goes full reality TV instigator, and Jam/Jim turns a simple conversation into a full-volume showdown that had us living for the chaos (and also begging them both to relax). We talk about why this kind of social manipulation is EXACTLY how Traitors should be played. Other highlights include: ✨ Early Traitor and Faithful predictions 🔥 Who’s already rubbing us the wrong way 🎭 Why gamers are becoming major targets 💄 Our Bravo & Hell No moments of the episode 📺 Behind-the-scenes reality TV producer tricks you might not have noticed And yes — we’re officially doing these recaps on YouTube now, complete with skincare masks, robes, and full cozy chaos while we unpack every betrayal. If you love strategy, mess, fashion, and reality TV psychology, this episode is a MUST. 📱 Follow & Join the Chaos 🎙 Lindsay St. Laurent — @filmakeher 🎭 Thomas Norman — @thomas_shmomas 📸 Instagram — @thebravoholicsanonymous 📱 TikTok — @bravoholics.anonymous

    #44 When the Conga Line Becomes a Crime Scene (The Traitors S4E2)

    From the very first breakfast, we knew this episode was going to be chaotic. Between the stunning castle fashion, Dorinda getting a standing ovation like she’d just won Miss America, and Lisa Rinna’s shellacked 80s helmet hair surviving the Scottish wind, we start by ranking the looks and the vibes that immediately stood out.  But then… the red flags started waving. We get into why Michael Rapaport is already giving villain energy, why Rob’s haircut was an instant strike, and which players are laying low in a way that feels strategic (and smart). From shady roundtable behavior to messy shield drama, we break down who’s playing too loud, who’s playing too quiet, and who might already be digging their own grave.  And of course — we had to unpack the moment that gave the episode its name: 🕺💀 THE DEATH CONGA LINE!!!!! We talk about why starting a conga line during a murder-heavy game is either genius distraction strategy… or the most obvious suspicious behavior imaginable. Who joined, who didn’t, and why it might actually be a clue hiding in plain sight.  Plus: ♟ Early predictions 👀 Who we already don’t trust 🎭 Who’s surprisingly winning us over 😬 Why this season feels harder than ever for the Traitors Between fashion moments, social chaos, and immediate paranoia, Episode 2 proves The Traitors Season 4 is already shaping up to be one of the messiest and most entertaining yet.  📱 Follow & Join the Chaos 🎙 Lindsay St. Laurent — @filmakeher 🎭 Thomas Norman — @thomas_shmomas📸 Instagram — @thebravoholicsanonymous 📱 TikTok — @bravoholics.anonymous

    #43 Meredith’s Greek Meltdown & Monica’s Internet Spiral ❄️ RHOSLC S6E14

    This week on Bravoholics Anonymous, Lindsay St. Laurent (@filmakeher) is joined by Bravo bestie Chris Byers (@chrisbyerzz) to break down The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6, Episode 14 — “My Big Fat Greek Mother’s Day.” 🇬🇷💔 The ladies are still in Greece, emotions are running high, and according to us — all the Mother’s Day tears belong to Meredith Marks. From her feeling “isolated,” “too educated,” and misunderstood in the sprinter van, to spiraling through every group interaction, we unpack Meredith’s Greek meltdown and whether these emotional moments feel real… or self-inflicted. And yes — we highlight the John Barlow podcast interview that had some of the most interesting Househusband tea we’ve heard yet. From John revealing that the husbands don’t get paid for reunions, to explaining how he supports Lisa like a “professional athlete,” we break down why this interview actually explains so much about Lisa’s mindset as a Housewife. We also get into: Monica Garcia officially entering her unhinged internet era and why her post-show behavior feels obsessive and chaotic The return of old stalker-energy vibes since Jen Shah’s release and what that could mean moving forward  Mary unexpectedly stepping in as MVP and pushing Meredith to face the group Our BRAVO and HELL NO moments — including Meredith’s infamous sprinter van speech about being “too educated” for the group Between Greece drama, emotional spirals, online chaos, and peak Housewives delusion, this episode proves Salt Lake City continues to deliver some of the most unhinged reality TV on Bravo. Grab a drink, take a seat at the meeting, and let’s get into it. 📱 Follow & Join the Bravo Chaos 🎙 Lindsay St. Laurent — @filmakeher 🎤 Chris Byers — @chrisbyerzz 📱 Tik Tok & Instagram — @bravoholics.anonymous

    #41 Kicking Off The Traitors Season 4 SPOILER FREE! Reading the Room Before the Bloodbath with Thomas Norman!

    This week on Bravoholics Anonymous, host Lindsay St. Laurent (@filmakeher) is joined by returning guest Co-Host Thomas Norman (@thomas_shmomas) to kick off spoiler-free coverage of The Traitors US Season 4 — and we’re doing what we do best: reading the room before the bloodbath. 🗝️🏰 Before a single torch is snuffed, we break down the Season 4 cast, early power dynamics, and the subtle social cues that already feel dangerous. From reality-TV instincts to competition-show psychology, we talk about who seems built for deception, who’s playing too loud too early, and who might quietly dominate once paranoia sets in. Rather than a beat-by-beat recap, this episode focuses on: First impressions that could make or break alliances Cast chemistry and immediate trust issues Our hopes for the season (smart gameplay, restraint, and maximum psychological chaos) Early predictions on who will thrive and who will spiral With Alan Cumming returning as host and the castle once again primed for manipulation, The Traitors Season 4 is shaping up to be a pressure cooker of big personalities, fragile egos, and potential roundtable meltdowns — and we’re calling it now, before anyone gets banished. No spoilers. No episode recap. Just vibes, judgment, and unlicensed group analysis. 📱 Follow & Join the Conversation 🎙 Host: 👉 Lindsay St. Laurent — @filmakeher 🎭 Co-Host: 👉 Thomas Norman — @thomas_shmomas 🎧 Podcast: 👉 @bravoholics.anonymous

    #40 CRAIG! CRAIG! CRAIG! 🎄 The Charleston Bravoholic Christmas Special PART 2

    This week on Bravoholics Anonymous, Lindsay is joined by the Charleston Bravoholic for a two-part Christmas special covering Southern Charm Season 11, Episode 4 — and a full check-in on everything that’s happened so far this season. 🎄🍑 Before diving into Episode 4, we zoom out and assess the state of Southern Charm: how the season is shaping up, which dynamics feel authentic, what’s clearly intentional from production, and why Craig Conover continues to dominate the conversation — on screen and off. From there, we break down Episode 4 and the ripple effects it creates, including: Craig’s emotional state and how his friendships with Shep and Austen are evolving The tension around who shows up for whom, especially when it comes to travel, effort, and loyalty Why Craig appears deeply affected by Austen’s absence and what it reveals about their relationship How production choices, scheduling, and seasonal filming impact what we see on screen Why Charleston “just works better” in the summer — visually and narratively We also unpack broader cast behavior and long-running patterns: Shep’s ability to win viewers back despite repeated bad behavior Austen’s history of making women come to him — and why it keeps coming up The power dynamics between the men, the women, and the city of Charleston itself Why Craig continues to be positioned as both the emotional center and the lightning rod of the group With insider perspective from the Charleston Bravoholic, we talk about what lands locally versus what reads as performative, how cast members are perceived off camera, and why Craig discourse never seems to cool off — even during the holidays. It’s festive, it’s opinionated, and yes… it all comes back to Craig. ✨ In This Two-Part Christmas Special: 🎄 Southern Charm Season 11 (Episodes 1–4) check-in 🍑 Episode 4 deep dive 🧵 Craig, Shep, and Austen relationship dynamics 🎥 Production insights & filming timelines 🏡 Charleston culture and social context 💎 BRAVO moments 💀 HELL NO moments 🎁 Holiday overthinking, as a gift 📱 Follow Us & Join the Bravo Conversation Host: 👉 Lindsay St. Laurent — @filmakeher Special Guest: 👉 Charleston Bravoholic — @shannypants2 🎧 Subscribe, rate, and review Bravoholics Anonymous — it helps more than pretending this episode wasn’t always going to be about Craig.

    #38 Gods, Glam & Gaslighting ❄️ RHOSLC S6E13

    This week on Bravoholics Anonymous, Chris Byers is back with Lindsay as they break down The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6, Episode 13 — “Greek for the Week.” ❄️🇬🇷 The women arrive in Santorini, but instead of peace, paradise delivers old grudges, selective memories, and fresh disrespect. A dreamy Greek getaway quickly turns tense as unresolved drama from Canouan follows the group overseas. Meredith and Heather’s relationship reaches a breaking point, Bronwyn attempts to walk back her marital issues, and Angie feels slighted when Lisa skips a Santorini sunset in favor of glam — because nothing says unity like choosing contour over community. Chris and Lindsay unpack: 🌊 Why distance only amplifies this group’s dysfunction 💄 Glam choices as power moves 👀 Meredith’s expert-level disengaging 💔 Bronwyn’s shifting narrative and what it signals ⚖️ Loyalty tests, gaslighting, and group dynamics abroad As always, we crown our BRAVO 💎 moments, call out the HELL NO 💀 moments, and track the behavior that turns a luxury vacation into a full-blown Greek tragedy. Because when Housewives travel internationally… the drama always clears customs. 📱 Follow Us & Join the Bravo Conversation Hosts: 👉 Lindsay St. Laurent — @filmakeher 👉 Chris Byers — @chrisbyerzz 🎧 Subscribe, rate, and review Bravoholics Anonymous — it helps more than a sunset you didn’t bother to attend.
