    THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF SALT LAKE CITY ARE BACK! Mary, Whitney, Lisa Barlow & Our Season 7 Rankings

    The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are BACK! And this season, Chris Byers is officially back in the Bravoholics Anonymous group for the entire season as Lindsay and Chris dive into the Season 7 premiere of RHOSLC. We’re kicking off the season with a surprisingly emotional premiere as the Housewives rally around Mary Cosby following the devastating loss of her son, Robert Jr. Lindsay and Chris talk through Mary’s grief, the incredibly heavy scenes in her home, and the moment involving Robert’s dog that absolutely broke Lindsay. But once we get through the tears, it’s time for one of our favorite Salt Lake City traditions: THE HOUSEWIFE RANKINGS. Lindsay and Chris rank the entire cast from #8 to #1 — and there are some VERY strong opinions along the way. Why is Whitney Rose starting at the bottom? Why does Meredith Marks need to step it up? Is Heather Gay getting a little too comfortable? Why does Lindsay think Brittani Bateman should already be a full-time Housewife?  Then we get into everything else happening in Salt Lake City: Lisa and John Barlow revisiting last season's drama, Whitney and Bronwyn finding common ground as newly separated women, Meredith and Whitney's seemingly eternal inability to actually resolve their issues, Heather's new dating life, Bronwyn's mysterious romantic situation, Angie K. continuing to prove why she belongs in the group, and the eternal question of whether these women are actually being authentic with each other, or simply performing the version of friendship Housewives require. Plus, Lindsay has a proposal for Meredith Marks' Season 7 storyline, a Bravo Moment, a few HELL NO Moments, and Chris reacts to the upcoming celebrity cast of The Traitors. RHOSLC is back, baby. And we're spending the entire season together.

We have a LOT of Salt Lake City to discuss. 🥂

    Love Island Season 8 Reunion: Mama’s a Liar, Melanie vs. Kenzie & Why Was This So BORING?! with Janet Evans!

    The Love Island USA Season 8 reunion is finally here… so WHY did it feel like everyone was already over it?! Lindsay St. Laurent is joined by Janet Evans for another Bravoholics Anonymous meeting to break down the reunion, the drama, the receipts, the relationships that survived the villa — and the storylines we think the producers completely fumbled. From Melanie and Kenzie’s emotional confrontation to Soul getting called out over the infamous “pie” situation, this reunion gave us plenty to discuss… even if it didn't exactly give us the energy we were hoping for. And then there was the bizarre decision to celebrate the Islanders’ follower counts while simultaneously discussing the horrifying side effects of internet fame. Was it just us, or was the whole thing a little dystopian? We’re talking: 🍿 Why the Love Island reunion should have happened WAY sooner 🍿 Ariana Madix and Andy Cohen co-hosting 🍿 The live studio audience — and whether it actually added anything 🍿 Reunion fashion: the hits, the misses, and the “too much hair, too much makeup, too much dress” problem 🍿 Kenzie and Zach — are they actually in love or are we watching a business arrangement? 🍿 Why the Islanders celebrating their follower counts felt incredibly weird 🍿 Ariana and Andy calling out Che over his social media activity 🍿 Melanie and Sincere: “we're not a couple, but we're together” — WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! 🍿 The never-ending Melanie/Kenzie feud 🍿 Dylan bringing RECEIPTS to defend Kenzie 🍿 Kenzie getting emotional and Melanie suddenly switching gears 🍿 Caleb, Jayden and the post-villa hookup drama 🍿 Kenzie and Dylan’s Empire State Building girlfriend proposal moment 🍿 Whether Kenzie & Dylan might actually be the real deal 🍿 Casey and TT — and why Lindsay thinks Soul might actually be Casey’s soulmate 🍿 The Caleb + Melanie alternate universe we never got 🍿 Soul vs. Melanie and the infamous “Mama’s a liar” moment 🍿 Why Lindsay thinks Sincere got off WAY too easily at the reunion 🍿 Bryce & Trinity getting criminally little reunion airtime 🍿 Corbin and Palmyra revealing that they're officially over 🍿 Whether Melanie should have dumped Sincere before the reunion 🍿 What happens next for the Islanders now that Season 8 is over 🍿 And what Love Island USA needs to change for Season 9 Plus: Would Melanie actually make a good Bachelorette? Could Corbin be the Bachelor? Who should go on The Challenge? And what reality show are we making Janet watch next?! This is our second Love Island Season 8 meeting with Janet Evans, so if you missed the first one, go back and listen to our earlier Season 8 breakdown too! And yes… we have officially reached the point where we're asking the most important question of all: WHAT ARE WE WATCHING NEXT?! 👯‍♀️ FEATURING Janet Evans Entertainment journalist, reality-TV obsessive, and returning Bravoholic. Janet and Lindsay previously reunited to break down Love Island Season 8, and now they're back to dissect the reunion and everything that happened after the villa.

    From the Hamptons: Carl Radke's Cake Eater | Bravoholics Book Club + Soft Bar Tour

    Welcome to the SECOND EVER meeting of Bravo Book Club — FROM THE HAMPTONS! 🏖️🍰 This week, Lindsay is taking the Bravo Book Club to the East Coast for a very special summer reading assignment: Carl Radke's memoir, Cake Eater. And because apparently reading a Bravo star's memoir poolside isn't enough... we're also taking a Bravoholics Anonymous Reality TV Tour to Carl's non-alcoholic bar, Soft Bar, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. So grab your book, your favorite beverage, and settle in. This week we're getting into: 🍰 Carl Radke's Cake Eater what the book reveals about the person we've watched on Summer House 🧠 Carl's journey through addiction, recovery, sobriety, anxiety, depression and PTSD 📖 The parts of Carl's story that felt the most meaningful — and the parts Lindsay thinks the book glosses over 🍾 Carl's complicated relationship with Loverboy while navigating sobriety 👀 Lindsay Hubbard enters the memoir (but not enough) — including Carl's description of their relationship developing during his early sobriety ❤️ The difference between watching someone's recovery unfold on reality TV and actually reading their account of it 📺 How much more context the book gives us for some of Carl's Summer House behavior 🍰 The official Bravoholics Anonymous Cake Rating: 2.5/5 Cakes And THEN... 🚕 We're going on our FIRST EVER Bravoholics Anonymous Reality TV Tour! Lindsay takes us along for her trip from Manhattan to Soft Bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Carl's non-alcoholic bar, for a Summer House screening event. We'll talk about: 🍹 What it's actually like inside Soft Bar 🏃‍♀️ The very Greenpoint experience of getting there 🎟️ A Summer House viewing party + Summer House Bingo 💥 Watching the episode where Carl and Kyle get into THAT fight... inside Carl's own bar 🥤 Non-alcoholic cocktails and the surprisingly Bravo experience of it all 👯‍♀️ Going to a reality TV event alone — and making friends with the other Bravo fans 🍟 And Lindsay's very serious hospitality critique: WHERE ARE THE FRENCH FRIES?! The Soft Bar experience ultimately becomes its own little reality TV field trip — complete with a post-screening adventure through Greenpoint. So yes... We read Carl Radke's memoir in the Hamptons. We visited his bar in Brooklyn. We rated the book. We drank mocktails. We watched Summer House at Soft Bar. Honestly, this is the most East Coast summer episode of Bravoholics Anonymous yet. If you're obsessed with Bravo, Summer House, reality TV, reality TV books, celebrity memoirs, sobriety journeys, or just following reality stars into the real-world places they've created... Welcome to the meeting.
