    Episode 3 (Part One): Janet's Evolution, BD Yacht Drama & Our Weekly Distractions

    This week on Sunday Lunch – Reality Served, we’re diving into three very different corners of the reality TV universe. We start with The Valley, where we debate Janet’s evolution over the past three seasons. Then we head back to sea with Below Deck: Mediterranean, recapping the first two episodes of Season 11. We also touch on The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, sharing our thoughts as we head into the first reunion. What Distracted Us This Week Jess was distracted by Helen Lewis’ May 2026 article, “The Men Who Want Women To Be Quiet” in The Atlantic Monthly, which explores the beliefs of men connected to the Heritage Foundation, the organisation behind Project 2025. Jess also recommends following @tetyanawrites on Instagram. Sofia was distracted by the trend of people sharing their 90s and 00s formal dresses.  Sofia is also feeling very grateful for the lovely reviews and support after last week’s episode. Recommendations Jess recommends: Twinless A film about twins who lose their other halves, with genuinely jaw-dropping, rug-pulling moments. Sofia recommends: Red Rising by Pierce Brown The 2014 dystopian science fiction series that starts with rebellion, class warfare and betrayal — and only gets bigger, darker and more addictive from there.
