Join us as we peel back the curtain, taking you on a wild ride! Reality Bites takes you through your favorite shows - via episode recaps, and behind the scenes “Producer’s Corner” editions that deep dive into topics in the Reality TV zeitgeist - with reactions, commentary, and a window into how the cast, story and we as viewers may have gotten there.

Birds of a Heather, Flock Together - RHOC Season Finale Recap w/ Lauren, Betsy & Executive Producer
The end is here! We can't believe it snuck up on us as quickly as it did, but the season's over and lord knows it didn't spare any bodies left in Tamra's... I mean, IT'S... wake. It was quite the wild ride, and while I think we can all agree that we wish it ended on, say, any other party theme than Gina's Little Shop of Circus Horrors, it doesn't take away from the season overall, which did not disappoint. Crack the whip, and let the circus begin!
Disclaimer: For anyone who's not into our Taylor Talk, no shame, but you may want to skip from 05:50 to 19:00!

Don't Be a Drag, Just Look Like Me! - RHOSLC Recap
There were no trix and definitely no trust this week in Palm Springs as our SLC ladies competed for who best deserved the Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent crown. And Mary... well, Mary got well acquainted with Oatmilk Lattes and McDonalds alongside SLC's sixth housewife, the Sprinter Van. Hold onto your wigs and start your engines!

Erineous On All Counts - RHONY Recap w/ Betsy & Executive Producer
The end of the RHONY Trip from Hell is finally upon us (or, perhaps, this should be considered the reboot's version of Scary Island??), and the chickens are coming home to roost for Erin and her (not) admittedly shit-talking ways. And with Lauren off today, Executive Producer hops on the mic with me (Betsy) to talk all things RHONY!
RHONY Recap starts @ 22:40
Also, a quick note about Southern Charm - this week's recap will cover last week's "boys" episode as well as this coming week's counterpart following the ladies, allowing us to juxtapose them both as the gossip makes its way through the friend group.
And don't worry, Lauren will be back for the rest of this week's episodes!

Better To Be Pissed Off Than Pissed On - RHOSLC Recap w/ Lauren, Betsy & Exec Producer
Guys... RHOSLC is giving us life these days, and this Palm Springs trip is not disappointing!! Executive Producer joins Betsy and me on the mic to break down all of the delicious messiness - between the fashion faux pas, Meredith's mayhem, Whitney's "Rinna" games, not to mention the now iconic, "You want me to go there with husbandddd?!" this was quite the wild ride and we're here for EVERY. SECOND. OF. IT. But the real question that remains in all of our minds is: Did Heather pee or not pee in the damn sprinter van??? Hope y'all enjoy!!
