Deepti has a large probably unhealthy obsession with pop culture, especially reality TV. Join her and her friends with equally problematic obsessions analyze the bejeezus out of their favorite shows - Real Housewives, Southern Charm, Summer/Winter House, Family Karma, Vanderpump Rules, Indian Matchmaking, Love Is Blind and more! 

    Taylor Swift's TTPD, Summer House S8 E9-E10, VPR S11 E10-E13, The Valley S1 E1-E6 (time stamps in show notes)

    Taylor Swift's TTPD, Summer House S8 E9-E10, VPR S11 E10-E13, The Valley S1 E1-E6 (time stamps in show notes)

    Taylor Swift TTPD: Beginning to 19 min  & again at ~1 hr 4 min 30 sec  to ~1hr 9 min 30 sec 

    Summer House ~19 min  to ~48 min 40 sec 

    VPR ~48 min 40 sec  to ~1 hr 4 min 30 sec & again at 1 hr 9 min 30 sec to ~1 hr 11 min 30 sec

    The Valley ~1 hr 11 min 30 sec to the end (some VPR inside The Valley discussion too)

    Deepti, Haley and Larkyn have much catching up to do in this episode. They discuss their latest JOURNEYS with Taylor Swift's new opus TTPD and thoughts on Matty Healy/ Travis Kelce/Joe Alwyn and the album length as well as haters and lovers of the album.

    Then off to Summer House they go. There seems to be a major shift to #TeamLindsay on Pop Culture Prisoner now. Haley and Larkyn think Amanda and Kyle will be fine in their relationship but Deepti has doubts. They also disagree on whether Ciara can carry a scene with the adorable West. Paige and Craig are great. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOMEONE HELP DANIELLE!!!!!! 

    Vanderpump Rules may be a mess but WOW Jax Taylor brightened everyone's faces. There has never been a greater villain. Speaking of villains, is Sandoval TRYING to be one or does he really think his behavior will get sympathy? Deepti, Haley and Larkyn also try to figure out if Ariana is going to quit VPR. And WHAT Lala is thinking ever b/c the way she's producing her character is cuckoo. And boy...Scheaner is wearing thin on Deepti and Larkyn especially. 

    AND THEN THERE IS THE VALLEY. Arguably the best show airing on Bravo right now! WHAT A CAST OF CHARACTERS WHEWWW! These people have no loyalties and are so mean and they BRING IT!!!!!!! Kristin still has hope but Jax Taylor does not in terms of being a good human being. But man, this show was MADE for Jax. Haley thinks the whole cast IS a bunch of a Jax's in a way. (Also, Deepti gets little Matty Healy vibes from Jesse.)

    Love Is Blind Season 6 Reunion

    Love Is Blind Season 6 Reunion

    Deepti and Sean analyze the S6 reunion which was RATHER excellent!  Adding audience and former cast members watching the reunion added a certain je ne sais crois to the episode. 

    Deepti and Sean analyze allllll the people who showed up, former and current cast members included. First and foremost, JerAmey and Sarah Ann have solidified themselves in the top 5 of worst LIB villains. 

    Chelsea, Jimmy, Kenneth, Brittany, Clay, AD, Johnny, Amy, TREVOR (EEEEKS!) .....lots to say about everyone!

    Kate Middleton Mystery, RHOBH S13 Reunion Part 3, VPR S11E7, Paris In Love S2, Summer House S8E4

    Kate Middleton Mystery, RHOBH S13 Reunion Part 3, VPR S11E7, Paris In Love S2, Summer House S8E4

    Deepti, Haley and Larkyn discuss their latest theories on where on earth Kate Middleton is! 

    Then they pivot to wondering why on earth Kathy Hilton was at the RHOBH reunion, how sick they are of the Richards sisters, what was going on with Sutton's almost fainting, how great of a friend Garcelle is and how completely not straightforward Kyle is about everything. 

    Vanderpump Rules continues to deliver peak ratchet Sandoval, Scheana is  comically self-involved, Katie is eliciting some genuine sympathy and Deepti backtracks a bit on her thoughts from last week on Ariana's stance on the group hanging out with Sandoval.

    Deepti has continued to watch Paris In Love and has a much-needed discussion on Paris & motherhood and her crazy schedule and how scary Kathy is. 

    Finally....on Summer House there is actually no defending Linsdsey at the moment. She cannot remotely claim being blindsided by Carl calling off the wedding based on the season so far!

    Summer House S8 Eps 1-3; VPR S11 Eps 1-6, Paris In Love (on Peacock), RHOBH S13 Reunion Parts 1-2

    Summer House S8 Eps 1-3; VPR S11 Eps 1-6, Paris In Love (on Peacock), RHOBH S13 Reunion Parts 1-2

    Deepti is back with Haley and Larkyn to catch up on a LOT of Bravo. On Summer House, Kyle and Amanda *hate* each other and Lindsay is in full blown monster mode. Deepti has to tap into Haley and Larkyn's historical SH knowledge to try to understand if Lindsay was ever likable in the first few seasons. 

    Vanderpump Rules is snoozy this season and Sandoval is incorrigible. Deepti is underwhelmed by how Ariana is carrying the show. LVP might hate women? They also debate whether the show needs to just fully end and who will be watching the new show THE VALLEY.

    Deepti just started bingeing Paris In Love and is finishing up S1 and Haley agrees that the show is beYond addictive for some reason. Larkyn attempts to explain how Paris is with her baby in S2 and Haley fills Deepti in on the gossip she's heard and let's just say it veers on the strange side.

    Finally they discuss the RHOBH reunion. There's one more part left still to come this week but they discuss the overall season and how much they can't deal with Kyle. And Deepti announces that she's officially given up on Dorit. Garcelle remains a queen. Crystal should try to have a bigger role on the show so she can thrive more. And Erika - oh boy...she may have had a good season but has she actually grown?

    Love In Blind Season 6 Finale

    Love In Blind Season 6 Finale

    Deepti and Sean discuss how their predictions for the finale turned out. Chelsea was the reality tv gift that keeps on giving. Clay's dad gave further insight into how Clay is the way he is. Clay's MOM was wonderful and her chat with Clay's dad was a fantastic scene in the show. Amy was a stunning bride. 

    Now looking forward to the reunion next week!

Great content — bad audio

This is my new fave Bravo pod, but the audio makes it a really tough listen. I’m constantly having to increase or lower the volume depending on who’s speaking.

Great

Amazing. I’m Dina’s son and I have got to say that this was such a hilarious, interesting, and most importantly, amazing opinions on all the housewives!
