🐚 RH of Rhode Island Eps 6–7 + Dish: Bravo Renewals, New Shows, Premiere Dates & More
Monday-morning Bravo news is in! Sierra Miller landing Love Island USA: After Sun (and joking she’s DWTS-bound), the Jen Fessler/West rumor fallout punctuated by mysterious cartwheel emojis, and a flood of renewals/premiere dates that has them feeling schedule-whiplash. They spiral (comedically) over Madison LeCroy and Heather Gay’s daughter Georgia popping up in “Micro Dramas,” side-eye a new Vanderpump Las Vegas series with Villa-burned skepticism, and pitch “Secret Lives: Texas Wives” as Dallas leftovers meets trad-wife Yellowstone energy. Then they jump into Rhode Island eps 6–7 with strong takes: Kelsey’s breakup feels strategic-but-smart, Jo Ellen’s childhood story is gutting, the Newport “cast trip” is hilariously local, the masquerade masks and lash flattening are a mess, Ashley’s constant crying reads like anxiety/hormones, and Rula’s “mystery virus + rescue” edit screams convenient cover-up—especially once the alleged barista tea and affair receipts hit.

Speaker 1: Recording Drama Darling Drama, Darling Drama, Darling.
Speaker 2: Hello, welcome in everybody. It's drama Darling. Boy, what a
day to be talking about a lot of fun stuff,
talk about news and Rhode Island episode six and seven,
because that's what we're doing today. Joining me is Emily
Deresis Emily. How's it going.
Speaker 3: Great? So many things in the Bravo verse.
Speaker 2: I mean, can you believe? This is absolutely nuts? We
just I think we need to just jump right in
because we wake up, what is it Monday morning? Yeah,
it's Monday morning. You know, let's give it that, and
we have all this crazy news that Jess Bravo decided
to hit us between the eyes with. So first off,
I mean, look, I'm not gonna lie. I called this.
I think you all heard me say it. Sierra Miller
is going to be co hosting Love Island Ussays after
sun You heard it here first. That was the trajectory
that I planned for her, that we all saw coming.
It is a likely path. She will next probably be
on Dancing with the Stars. Yes, and so we're really
happy about that. That's very exciting. So congratulations to Sierra
Miller over the weekend. Oh my gosh, there was a
little bit of news that just popped up, basically about
Jen Fessler having a potential alleged sleep with West situation.
I did. I headed on over to the microphone and
I popped on on Saturday. So I did address all that.
But one thing that I did didn't get to address
was what happened later, which was that Jennifer Fessler went
online and said something like, I categorically deny this and
this is really libel, so stop doing this whoever is
doing these rumors, to which then Ceer Miller in her
stories just posted a simple cartwheel someone an emoji doing
a cartwheel, and so that's where we're left.
Speaker 3: And also what does that mean? That's what does that mean?
Speaker 2: Right, That's what we don't know. It means she doesn't
care and she's free wheeling and doesn't care. Also, following that,
kJ from Summerhouse also posted I think maybe between two
and four cartwheel emojis, and I don't know where he
posted that on his stories or in response. So the
Summerhouse cast is cartwheeling and we don't know.
Speaker 3: Why all.
Speaker 4: The way to Fiji to work less than Ariano Maddox
If that's possible as a Love Island.
Speaker 2: My god, you did not Face of Love Island.
Speaker 3: Amazing. But that's what I want for them. I'm rooting
for them. I want that for them.
Speaker 2: Well, yes, I agree with you one hundred, one hundred
on that, MS. One hundred. Okay, there's going to be
a Bravo FanFest in Charleston. Did you get a good
sip of that? Ms? She's a flip, closing her water bottle.
She's like, I got a hydrate because this news is
too much for me.
Speaker 3: I'm cartwheeling hydrate.
Speaker 2: She's like, let me get this Stanley. Okay, did you
see or hear about the Bravo FanFest happening in Charleston
October twenty third?
Speaker 4: I did not, But this is like the one in
Miami right last year.
Speaker 2: Yes, between probably between bravocons and speaking of bravocon that's
going to be it's set. It's set for fall of
twenty twenty seven. So we have the official word on that.
All right, Let's talk about some of these early renewal shows,
because in this list, people were freaking out, why isn't
Ladies of London there? The Valley Real Housewives of Beverly
Hills Southern Hospitality, et cetera, et cetera, because what they
announced in this first round it didn't include those, but
they are all included, except for I'm not sure about
Ladies of London, but Real Housewives of Rhode Island got
an early season two renewal. Big surprise. Can I have
some crackers? Salt Lake City, Potomac, New York, New Jersey
also renewed. And then, of course we do have this
other longer list which does include Summer House, Southern Charm,
The Valley, Persian Style, Married to Medicine, wife swap. Real
Housewives edition. Didn't see that coming back, but okay. Below
Deck Downenda Top Chef, of course, Below Dick and watch
what Happens Live. And then we have, of course Jeff
Lewis's show that's coming out, still flipping out in that
that is premiering later in twenty twenty six. Very excited
about that. Below Dick Mediterranean Season eleven is premiering on
June eighth. Emily, we're about to the changing of the
guards is coming. And just when we thought we got
into a real groove, here, guess what's coming down the pipe?
Speaker 3: Love Island is it?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you're right, of course, I know, but
it's not on this list. I'm working with this list.
But I didn't even consider that, mother.
Speaker 3: I know. I just wanted to putting it out there.
Speaker 2: Thank God, I would put it out there. Put it
out there. It's going to be our whole lives. You
better put it out there.
Speaker 3: I know, my god.
Speaker 2: Okay, so Love Island coming back this summer. She doesn't
even need to hideright now, she's just getting filled up.
From the sound bites below, Dick made a tranean season
a lave in. Yeah, June eighth, coming at you.
Speaker 3: With the water slide from Rhode ice Castle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it, you know it. Well, this is
great news for all of us who just love a
mic B dynasty because we've talked about it quite enough.
Guess what that's coming at us. It's coming at us.
June fifteenth, Emily, Yay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've I think Bravo learned their lesson that you
can't roll them out all at once, and okay they
you know, because we had that one summer where all
we had was Housewives is Dubai remember that summer, the
drought after Bravocon, that Vegas Bravocon, the first Vegas, Bravocon
they put it all out.
Speaker 2: That was so tough. That's how bad it was. It
was so that was a rough summer for us.
Speaker 4: I know we were like, should we recap you know,
Wizard of Oz, Like we didn't know what to do?
Speaker 2: We should we should have, we should In fact, I
think we did. Yeahs here to your little who is
coming June fifteenth, McBee Dynasty is gonna bring us through
part of the summer. There below Deck Mediterraneans bringing us
through some of the summer. And next Jen New York
City Season two is premiering June twenty fourth. How about that?
Speaker 3: Okay? How about it? I'm in?
Speaker 2: Are you in? Okay? And then also we have Orange
County premiering July ninth. This is an interesting time. I
don't recall Orange County starting so early. However, happy to
see it.
Speaker 3: I Orange County. I feel like sneaks up on us.
They give it to us at different.
Speaker 4: Times, And every time I think I'm locked in on
something always being a certain time of year, they switch
it on me.
Speaker 3: Remember, like Jersey used to.
Speaker 4: Always be in the fall, and then it was always
in the summer, and then it was like.
Speaker 2: Because they were shooting in the fall, yeah, yeah, yeah,
and then Orange County seems to film in the spring
into the summer. So now we're I don't know, listen,
it's all joggers to me, you know.
Speaker 3: That's yeah, I'll be wearing my joggers the entire time.
I'm wearing them right now.
Speaker 5: If you could see the joy, the way that Emily
lights up when she hears the sounds, it's amazing.
Speaker 4: When Amy starts springing down the Love Island sound effects
from the Attic starts decorating for this season, and I
get very excited.
Speaker 2: She gets excited, like one thing at a time, you know,
just kind of like daring cold storage. Those were the
two that were closest to the attic door, so I
grab those.
Speaker 4: The island Stone manner hasn't been fully decorated for the holidays.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, can you get on my decoration? You can't
get can take three months to do it, and yet
I gotta text. We did see a trailer for those
the world was it? The Orange County Ladies, the Golden
Ladies doing all their stuff. Yeah, that was a fun
that looked like it's gonna be a lot of fun.
But that aside Ultimate Girls Trip Roaring twentieth premiere's August ninth. Yeah,
teach me invY Cage. We am in the King and
the Big Casey Man. Because they end there that's like
the last party. So that's so cool. They're doing a
whole twenty year anniversary, like, let's gather all these ladies
and just do an Ultimate Girls Trip. You know, it's
good stuff.
Speaker 3: I think it's great.
Speaker 2: Okay, we have something that's just really gotten me a
little bit confused, and I jumped on here with you
to do a little bit of recapping this morning, and
I don't didn't have time to figure out what the
heck this was. But Madison Lacroix from Southern Charm and
Georgia Gay, who is Heather ge daughter, they're starring in
a Peacock show called micro Dramas. Micro Dramas, I repeat, okay,
micro I'm familiar with micro derm rasion. I'm familiar with microaggressions.
I'm familiar with uh, micro plasma. I'm familiar with a
lot of micros. Micro dramas. Those are the types of
things that I feel like they're showing on TikTok. You know,
they're calling the micro dramas, like you scroll through and
all of a sudden, instead of an AD, it's like
a really intense moment. And they're really popular.
Speaker 4: Verticals in the dramas. In Vertical is the category.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so well that's great.
Speaker 4: I have no idea how that project happened. I barely
know who Georgia Gay is, but I'm happy.
Speaker 2: That And how does she know, Madison Lacroix.
Speaker 3: Skipping right past next Gen? That Georgia Gay.
Speaker 2: Skipping right fast, and yeah, yeah for her know. And
just wow, they're really shuffling that deck over there, like
let's just see what happens, and we just pull some
wild cards and just throw them in the middle. I
swear that's not a bad idea, okay. And then we've
got The Traders, which is a civilian version that's airing
on NBC, and that's this fall. Yeah, well for applause.
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you.
Speaker 4: I didn't realize that that was going to be a
fall release, because that's normally a January coming out of
your holidays release.
Speaker 2: Oh you know, I do. I don't, but yeah.
Speaker 3: Yes, you do, yes, you do.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: When you get the Traders decorations out.
Speaker 2: Right right right, after the OC reunion, But.
Speaker 4: The last two celebrity US ones have been like right
around January eighth, Like it's the thing that I think
about on New Year's Day that's going to be starting
soon that I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, that's how you know, you know? Okay. Another
show that's happening is vander Pump Rules Lisa Las Vegas.
I'm not reading that wrong. It says Lisa Las Vegas,
and I don't anyway. It says Lisa vander Pump has
been ruling over the Las Vegas strip for years now.
It's with three hotspot restaurants serving up she cocktails as
soon as a whimsical setting. Now I'm expanding my Vegas empire. Okay,
I'll stop that. Through the opening of her high profile
namesake hotel. In this limited series, we follow the In
this limited series, we follow the behind the scenes dash
to make the property worthy of vander Pump brand. Oh
that's gonna be cool. No, you're shaking your head. Lvp
LBT shares Oh God, he shares what inspired her newest
enterprise and pulls back the guttons speak on the down
to the wire drama. The series will culminate at the
vander Pump Hotel's lavish opening party with fan favorite BRA
celebrities celebrating the launch. Oh that's interesting. I wonder who
will be there. Definitely not Kyle, but I am excited
for it because Nikolayne. I'm excited for the decorating. If
we get to see the before and after of the
hotel and like it upgrading to as they say, Lisa
vander Pump expectations and styles. I am definitely going to
be here for that because I am into, you know,
the business and of flipping a hotel.
Speaker 4: Well good, you're not going to see any of that.
You're going to see a warehouse that they rented as
a set to be demolished and reconstructed, and that restaurant's
been done for ten years. WHOA, that's how much I
feel burned by vander Pump Villa.
Speaker 3: Oh, I just don't believe in Lisa vander Pump as.
Speaker 4: Leading my reality charge at this point. I'm sorry, I
just I.
Speaker 2: Don't trust Wow. I didn't know we were going to
go so hard on Lisa vander Pump.
Speaker 3: I'm going to watch every episode. I want to be clear.
I watch every episode.
Speaker 2: I'm more excited about this than I was the Villa.
Let's put it that way, because I feel like this
has more bones because it's real. It's a real hotel
that actually exists in one place, whereas the Villa does
keep bouncing from country to country. It's like, and it's beautiful,
but I do like there being an actual brick and
mortar place that she has an investment in.
Speaker 4: That there's that she writes her scripts and oh delivers
and tells people how to say they're lying.
Speaker 2: Oh, I agree, I don't know, Queen.
Speaker 3: I agree, Maddie.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. There's not that you can write
scripts all you want. We know that happens. But when
they start, you know, peeling off that paint and maybe
throwing a slap of wallpaper on there, that's gonna be real.
Speaker 3: Have you ever heard of HGTV.
Speaker 4: I think you're gonna like what they're doing over there.
It's a lot of decorating. It's a lot of taking
paint off you just mentioned paint and then putting new
paint on.
Speaker 3: I I'll text.
Speaker 4: You those letters later and you can find it on
your cable provider.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. You're a trader, and I'm telling Lisavanah
mump on you. Next is Secret Lives Texas Wives. I
see what you did there, I see what you did there.
In the heart of Texas Hill Country is the picture
perfect town of Burney born bornie oh no b o
E r n e born born in picture perfectcount of born.
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: I would say that Borney where wealth beauty. I hope,
I hope they all pronounce it like that. I'm from
Borney and where wealth health. No, there's no health in
here where wealth beauty, Faith and family rein supreme. Centered
on a tight knit circle of glamorous women, this series
follows their lives as they raise families, run ranches. Okay,
I'm listening, Emily perked up and farms. Yeah, this is
this is what the people want and manage sparkling what
and manage sparkling social calendars? Oh, I thought it said children. Okay,
I thought it said manage sparkling social children. Watch that
in a town rooted in rodeos and tradition, Okay, it's like, yeah,
b meets Secret Lives and more yellowstives, mural stone and
then also, you know, yeah I'm here, it's also tradwifey.
You know, that's that's what it is, and they've probably
been wanting to put this on for years now. I
wouldn't be surprised if they filmed this three years ago
and it's just now hitting.
Speaker 3: Well that could be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, thank you for agreeing.
Speaker 3: Well, you know what I was thinking when you said this,
I was thinking.
Speaker 4: Like, these are the people that were like leftover the producers,
maybe that were leftover over from like Dallas houseover Dallas.
They were like, you know what, there's this community out
in this in born mare Man and they would be
great for housewives, and probably was like, no, we're full.
And then they were like, wait a second, what did
Hulja say, mommon, what if we did secret Texas.
Speaker 2: Wid Lives of Lives of Mormon hives hives?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now I love the idea of recycling. Just why I mean,
I'm sure because you hear about that all the time
where it's like I remember Margaret Joseph's book that you know,
cook Kevio Dreams and the Kevio Style. It was something
like that, and she was like, Elisodia, I was on
this show, and then I wanted they wanted to work
with me, sleep with me on this show. And then
I was on this show. Then this gout kids, let's
switch it up by it for this show, and then
let's mix thing. You know when little is jy zy,
so they do you know, they bounce around town. Well
I think that's that is it for all of the
Bravo News right now. Wait, one more thing, one more
thing at the Bravo upfronts Kyle Cook. This is what
he said. Okay, he said. There is a group saying
West had a full blown exclusive girlfriend since February of
twenty twenty five, and Kyle's response to that, he said,
I'm I'm gonna tell I'm gonna just tell you guys
while we're here. The thing I'm more focused on is
West's ease of lying. We know that he had a
full blown exclusive relationship since February of twenty twenty five.
We actually have receipts. Okay, Okay, So that's.
Speaker 3: From what I understand.
Speaker 4: That shouldn't be that shocking or is that that shocking?
He seems like a dog.
Speaker 2: He is a dog. He's a dog.
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I mean that not in a good way.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: Why do we say that we all love dogs? Why
do we keep putting it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, idiots. That's not right.
Speaker 3: He's a cat.
Speaker 2: How dare you? Oh dare You's? Don't?
Speaker 4: Amy's crying, everybody, she's the Ashley of drama Darling.
Speaker 3: She can't stop crying.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's so funny. Before we get into
Rhode Island, I have some personal news to share, and
that is that last weekend, not this weekend, we lost
our fish, Bubbles. We laid him to rest in our backyard.
He lived a good life, well over. It was over
a year, believe it or not. And this was a
beta fish. Some call it a beta, not sure how
to pronounce it, but to us, his name was Bubbles,
and he was a good bluefish. I'm I'm in the middle.
Speaker 3: Replace him. Wait, didn't he sneak a replacement fish in there?
Speaker 2: Okay, you did?
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 3: Did you snuck a replacement fish in there? This is
Bubbles too.
Speaker 2: It's Bubbles three. It's Bubbles three.
Speaker 3: Whoa.
Speaker 2: But so, if you really want to get down to numbers,
Bubbles lasted for almost two years. But this Bubbles, Bubbles three,
lasted for almost a year. Like he had the most longevity.
Speaker 3: That's pretty great.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: So Bubbles had a great life, and we didn't hide
the news from her, and we we we all took
it on. And then this weekend we got a new fish,
welcome to the family, Caribbean aka Bean or Beanie. He's
so cute. So we be in one Caribbean one. But
we already told her this is this is very difficult
to incorporate, you know, fish into new habitat. So if
this one doesn't last, and it might not, we won't
get another one.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So Mother's Day, which I had a great breakfast in bed,
and then I really I did all the things that
I wanted to do, which was actually a lot of
organizing and chores and stuff like that, but that made
me happy. And then I cleaned out this fish tank
for a very long time. It was a fun, fun
time to welcome in Bean. So okay, yeah, so that's
the news over here at the Oasis. Now it's time
to get into episodes six and seven of Rhode Island.
You know, before this show even started, Emily, we've been
like saying gorgeous a lot here and rama Darling, and
so now when I'm watching this, it makes me so happy.
How often they use the word gorgeous. Oh yeah, it's gorgeous.
Speaker 4: Gorgeous California, came from the Senior Bachelor, and now it's
coming from Rhode Islands. Remember that's right, the Senior Bachelor's Yeah,
Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 2: Golden Bachelor, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh my god. Everyone
knows I love a kracker. That's all I have to
say about that. Okay, so let's get into episode six.
We're gonna kind of do this a little bit timeliney
so we can kind of follow it. But the big news,
big news Kelsey. She had her breakup with her boyfriend.
She broke up with her boyfriend. Right, we knew this
was coming. She was like, I'm gonna get once I
get on this show, it's gonna be great for the show.
I'm gonna just end it right there. I'll be able
to start moving on my own two feet.
Speaker 3: And yeah she did.
Speaker 2: It's so smart.
Speaker 4: I was thinking that because she had this insane house,
this insane lifestyle, which is exactly what they are looking for.
Speaker 3: She had a little controversy with the with the.
Speaker 4: Boyfriend Bill, so she was like a casting dream.
Speaker 3: Yeah when you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So, and then she did it right and she's like
see it ever for now, do you think they'll get
back together.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure they will.
Speaker 2: You do.
Speaker 3: I don't know. There's just something about it.
Speaker 4: If they don't get back together, he's going to support
her for a long time. Whatever's going on there. It's
not for me, but I kind of like it. I
kind of like that he and her had an understanding
until they didn't, and then it seems really amicable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're on their way.
Speaker 2: They're on their way. He's you know, she's leaving the
nest so to speak, and she's moving into another nest
that he's paying for, which I absolutely have no problem with.
I think it's great. I mean, it would be pretty
if he has all that money. It would be pretty
cruel to just let her, you know, move on with
her life after she's been taken care of for ten years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I do understand what she's saying about the
ten years. If I was married, and I can see you,
Darling's rolling your eyes, but they were together ten years,
and for whatever that is, that if they were married,
you know, she would get a percentage.
Speaker 2: A percentage of PK's loans. You know, that's what she
would get.
Speaker 4: Can I just say those texts that Lee, unless I'm
not seeing them. I think like to read actually, and
I'm not a Dread fan, but she seems pretty reasonable.
Speaker 2: In Yeah, a lot of them are pretty reasonable. Like
lost her mind. Well, that's because that's because of the bills.
And also she was doing all that shopping and at
the same time wasn't paying the mortgage, and it just
the whole thing is kind of a mess.
Speaker 3: I need to just say one thing.
Speaker 4: She was also under the impression that PK had the
money or was getting the money.
Speaker 3: Things are going to be taken care of.
Speaker 4: Not that that excuses but what right, that's what she said. Yeah,
I don't often say great things about to Read.
Speaker 2: I'm going to take it. Oh, I'm going to take it,
just like Rosie should have taken Kelsey's compliment at the
dinner that was awful, that was so mean, and like, yeah.
Speaker 3: Idy, nobody else have her back besides.
Speaker 2: Ashley and Ashley had it because she's like, well, everybody
said I should probably ever Het back, but I don't
know if I should. I guess I will. Ashley is
so funny. I love it. Okay, let's get back to
the breakup. Will you agree with this? We're happy She's
gonna get her health insurance, taken care of her car insurance.
I mean, what a what a dream. And now she's
got this burgeoning career as a stylist. Now she can
definitely rent a chair somewhere because she won't have that
bathroom in that house anymore, Emily for now.
Speaker 4: But that's like, I'm also like, well that place is
just gonna be empty then, still, right.
Speaker 2: She just goes over and takes clients over there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, why not.
Speaker 4: He's also paying for her place to live for a
while too, So I'm thinking about that empty house right now.
Speaker 2: He's got it already, he's filled up with another occupant,
and he's got another girlfriend. He's got to have another.
I'm podcasting from there. I am. I took the extra wallpaper.
I put my cheetahs up over there so you guys
wouldn't notice. Yeah, he's already booked that position in that house.
There's someone in there. Fine, Okay, let's talk about Joe
Ellen and her unbelievably heartbreaking traumatic childhood.
Speaker 3: Do you know where she was being sent right, those
same places that Paris Paris Hill's being sent Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it almost sounded worse, actually.
Speaker 4: Those places. It sounded the same to me because it
just sounded like weird mixed juvenile the tension, those weird
boot camps that you'd see on Maury.
Speaker 3: Povich or wherever. And Yeah, but you know, there's all
this legislation now that.
Speaker 2: In god because of Paris. Yeah, I wonder if it
will work out to when they film this, because it
seems like when Paris had been going to Washington and
she was making stride with this bill and having success.
I wonder if it will come up for her. That
would be great. Yeah, it would be a good cause
for her to get involved in if she even wants to.
I mean, honestly, I would think that would be very
triggering for people. And I'm very impressed that she would
even share that blown away that her mom she's got one,
She's got it coming for her now, you know. I mean,
she didn't know her daughter was probably going to talk
about this. And she's been seen on the show m HM,
which is weird. And I don't know if we're going
to continue to see her, but it seems like it
would be a very strange situation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially when you know how bad it must be
that those places sent Joellen back because they make money
having those kids there and for them to just be like,
you know what, she's actually not these things, so she
would get sent back from them to her mom, who
clearly just couldn't handle having a kid, right.
Speaker 3: It was trying to force this issue.
Speaker 4: So I was like, wow, for one of those places
to reject her, because she was like, that was that
was the money.
Speaker 2: That was a rehab. The rehab is the one that
sent her back after a week, which like, why would
you think that sending your daughter who doesn't have a
drug or alcohol problem would actually fly through under the
radar at a drug and alcohol facility a rehab facility.
Speaker 4: Geez, some of them drug you when you get there,
they give you said it is remember.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is just so heartbreaking. I mean, I just can't.
And she has a sister and her sister remember when
Alicia is like I remember when her sister was sent
away first?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, geez, god.
Speaker 3: It seems like they're okay.
Speaker 4: It's just like I now in terms of the kids
and the grandmother. But I was like, man, it'd be
really hard for me to leave my kids with that.
Speaker 2: I would never leave my kids. That actually is pretty
shocking now knowing that what her mom has done that
she would even feel comfortable leaving her kids with.
Speaker 4: Them unless there's something that has happened, some big shift
or whatever and the month.
Speaker 3: But it doesn't sound like it.
Speaker 4: But you know, like I don't know, like maybe the
mom got sober or something huge has happened that we
just don't know in that timeline.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Pretty crazy that could be. I mean, like a Muzzy
situation where you know, this is so much worse though.
I mean, as much as it was heartbreaking to see
Bronwyin talked to Muzzy and Muzzy saying all those things,
but this is like just next level. She was gone
for a whole year, a year that'll break. That just
breaks your spirit and to feel unloved in your life.
And yeah, but I really enjoyed her talking and sharing
that and breaking the cycle. And then of course she
spoke with Alicia when they were at the castle, all.
Speaker 4: Of them for as well as well as they know
each other, I'm now kind of seeing that they don't know.
Speaker 3: Like what's behind door number three kind of thing.
Speaker 4: Because also when Liz is like you were never homeless,
I got what Alicia was saying because it was like, yeah,
but like she lost her whole home, and I'm like,
that's why she likes dolls so much.
Speaker 3: So she's cleaning to these dolls.
Speaker 2: Probably because that's the only thing she had.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so or didn't you know, and she's trying to
control it or something. But I think, like all of
them know so much, and then you realize, like there's
a lot more going on.
Speaker 3: So I get what Liz is saying though. When she
came for Alicia. Yeah, it was like Alicia, She's like,
you've never been homeless. It's like, I get it. But
it was still probably pretty traumatic.
Speaker 2: It absolutely was traumatic. But she did need it did
need to be spoken to, I think, and Liz was
the perfect person to do it because she kind of
said it with a little bit of a you know,
a smile.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And Alicia isn't you know, she didn't put up a
fuss about it. She wasn't like, yes, I was crackers,
you know, like she she didn't get nuts about it.
She's like, yeah, all right, you know that's what you say. Okay.
She doesn't care about the semantics of it all, but
it is extreme. It was a great couple of episodes
that we got to really really know them. Hey, guys,

sativa because it gives me an uplifting feeling. I feel
energized and creative, and that's what I really like about it,
and a lot of the times on the weekend I
like to do a hybrid, which is sativa that gets
me feeling uplifted and energized and creative, but chill with
the indica. The sativa that I like is called durban
zi Kittles. I don't even know if I'm saying that right,
durban skittles. Anyway, it's spelled zki t t l e z.

love One Skin and their os one facetopical supplement. I
love it so much, you guys. I remember my skin
before I was using this and how dry it was.

that could balance my skin with the oiliness and the dryness.
I just could not find the perfect one. I had
tried so many different ones. One Skin is the magical
solution for me. I don't think I'll ever use another
face lotion again. I really don't. Now. The other thing
I love to use. This is kind of new is

and tell them that I sent you that Newport Castle
was just unbelievable. And to find out that that was
Liz's best friend who knows the owner was very cool.
And that was a great little cast trip away in Newport.
I mean it was just a hop, skip and a jump.
And I have a feeling they're never gonna leave Rhode
Island to even go on a cast trip anyway. They're
gonna stay there. I feel like it would be funny
if they just stayed in Newport and just did all
their cast trips there, like nowhere else.
Speaker 4: Yes, And I'd also like to see some of them
just out of Rhode Island to deal with it. Like Alicia,
I do want to see her deal with any other
state or place.
Speaker 2: Hmmm. She's like, I had to get a passport for
every one of my dolls before we go. And I
don't know, I don't know if I'm going to be
able to bring my krackas to Italy. I don't know
if I'm to be able to bring that in there.
Speaker 3: And no rue la la.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is wild. I love it. Joellen was like,
it's wicked rude. That rule was not here, wicked rude.
I haven't heard the word wicked used before an adjective
in a long time, which is nice to see, nice
to hear. Okay, So the Masquerade dinner with Ashley in
the mask it had no nose and mouth was making
me laugh so hard.
Speaker 4: And I was like, you know, they had an extra
mask for Rula, so obviously Ray just did that to
Ashley for no reason.
Speaker 2: No reason at all. They're just trying to make her cry.
Speaker 4: And I was like, also, you know, Lisa Barlow would
be like, I'm not wearing any of these.
Speaker 1: I hire lamb.
Speaker 4: I'm not putting because they introduced those masks right after
they all god bless all did their own glam which
I loved.
Speaker 2: And lashes, lashes, lashes, yeah, and you can see Latin
and flatten those lashes right up. I mean, the amount
of lash talk was impressive. I was happy to hear it.
It was great. Yeah, and all I could see were lashes.
All I could see is I could see the lash
glue on some of them. I could see the last
I could see when they start, when they end, you know.
Speaker 3: But I don't want to. I want them to keep
doing it.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, but I could ever do my lashes. I'm
not those. It's so hard to do. I never like
doing that. Whenever I used to do like the Housewives
videos and put on those lashes, I hate it.
Speaker 4: Let me do you think it takes I would love
to know if it takes longer for them to have
their glam teams do their glam or for them to
do their glam. But my favorite is when they do
each other's glam, like Kelsey's doing the hair.
Speaker 2: And like, yeah, that's good. Well, when you're doing your
dolls glam.
Speaker 4: I just like what takes the longest, because when they
have a team there that seems.
Speaker 3: To take forever, and everybody goes for four hours to
get glam.
Speaker 2: It takes longer to have a glam squad do it,
for sure. Yeah, absolutely, because they do layers and layers
and layers and layers. They have their primer and then
the lotions and then they did to tap this and
they tap that, and then I mean, it's just so complicated.
Speaker 3: Right, ghosts. I don't like it.
Speaker 2: Ghosts. Ghost. She couldn't say it, she couldn't goats, she
couldn't say ghosts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ghosts.
Speaker 2: That was the best.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I can't say it. I can't say it.
Speaker 2: I can't say she gave up so easy, ghost, ghost
go exist.
Speaker 6: I wonder if she could say coasts, coats, coast, coasts, coasts.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you can't.
Speaker 2: Say it coast No, no, wait, what are you saying?
Speaker 6: CoA s t s Yeah, coasts Okay, you did it,
good job, Okay.
Speaker 3: We got there.
Speaker 2: Coasts. I wonder if she can say coasters or oysters Yeah, oysters,
oyster oyster.
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's the city with the tea, yeah.
Speaker 2: With the T S T at the end, Yeah, yeah,
faust fausts.
Speaker 4: And also confused the shit out of me that that
chauffeur was like, Oh, I used to live here, I
lived my my frat brothers.
Speaker 3: And I lived on the top.
Speaker 2: Leave that one bit. I don't know what the hell
he was talking about.
Speaker 3: Well, do you think that's what the butlers were? Was
he saying he was a butler?
Speaker 4: There, Like, I wonder if those butlers part of the
deal is you get to live.
Speaker 2: There and they're frat boys. Oh, that does make sense
because they did look like a frat boys. They looked
like they look like frat boys.
Speaker 3: Frosts, frosts, fraternity ghosts. Maybe they were dead. Maybe they
were dead frat guys. They the ghost.
Speaker 2: Shirtless dead Water Slide frat boys.
Speaker 3: It's my favorite band, guys. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The Masquerade Dinner, Rula's Mask. What do you think Rulea's mask.
Rule's mask probably said like your husband is having an affair.
But it was just like the ladders that made up
the mask. That's why they didn't give it to Ashley.
But like, let Ashley go first. I mean, I appreciate that. Finally,
Alicia was like, do you want to go first? Because
I'm gonna eat some crackers, But like they should have
had her go first. It was just, I mean, you
can't breathe in that thing. It was terrible.
Speaker 4: I'm a little after I'm a little concerned about Ashley.
I know this is hermo about the crying, but I'm
just like, I really expect I think it's load.
Speaker 2: It was a hormone and I think it's a hormone
in balance. I mean, I'm not trying to like hormone
shame because look, I'm there all over the place. But
like she's been like for a long time and I.
Speaker 3: Wonder it's a bachelor or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so it's very endearing. I mean it's super endearing.
It's really sweet to see and it turns into kind
of comedy, but like she really gets there fast.
Speaker 3: I would be so uncomfortable. You say endearing, and I say.
Speaker 2: Oh, remind me never to call you crying again.
Speaker 4: But if you called me crying every single time, even
when it's about something I'm upset about, I think, yeah, yeah,
I would have problems.
Speaker 2: And none of them take her seriously though they're like
just smiling and looking at her.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I just don't know how you do it.
I would feel bad and then I would be like,
h awkward.
Speaker 2: Well, look it's it's gotta be something, you know, and
she just hasn't had it deal with and that's fine.
But yeah, okay, when she did cry, I did find
it funny that I think I remember who said it,
Oh yeah, Joe Joe Ellen said Ashley's crying because she
has nothing to cry about.
Speaker 4: Because that's what she said one day, I'm gonna it's
gonna like all be bad, maybe because I I just
haven't had anything bad happen yet, and I was like,
what the fuck is happening?
Speaker 2: Okay, actually, now I can speak on this. Let me
let me speak on this for a second. Okay, I'm
gonna speak on this. I'm gonna speak on this. Okay,
I'm gonna do a gorgeous speak on I'm gonna do
a gorgeous speak on Okay, just gorgeous speak So it
I think part of it is anxiety. Okay. So before
I was on like an anxiety medicine, it I would
if I woke up at night, I would have I
would not be a fall asleep because I would be
thinking about the potential of having something horrible happen, which
I think is normal for most people. But I could
not stop thinking about being so far away from my
family and having something bad happen and me not being available.
So it would keep me up tremendously and I would
have such anxiety about it. When I started taking anxiety
medicine that has stopped. Now I don't give two shits, No,
I'm kidding I don't have that kind of struggle. The
other thing was when I would leave town and I
would obviously it's hard to go out of town blah
blah blah for some people. I'm not a traveler, but
I've had to go out of town many many times
over my lifetime, and I would freak out leaving Maddie. So,
but weeks beforehand, I would be just torn up. And
then just the whole process of like going to the
airport and everything being on the in the car on
the way there, and on the plane on the way
there until I got situated and I was working was
the most. It was just torture. It was just torture.
It was excruciating. That helped tremendously getting on anxiety medicine.
So I think that that could be part of it.
I'm just saying, you know, maybe look into it. And
I'm not trying to diagnose, just speaking from I'm speaking
gorgeously about my own life.
Speaker 4: Okay, it feels like she is also someone that might
just that's how she like she just has like one
of those short release valves, you know, like right, because
it doesn't seem like I can see what like the
anxiety that you're talking about, and in her situation, she
doesn't seem to like dwell on.
Speaker 3: It or live in it. She just cries and then I.
Speaker 2: Gets it out. Anyway, getting back to the masquerade party
and them sharing about themselves and Rosy being like, I'm
actually really shy in real life, but I've learned to
pretend and to be bigger, and that was a really
vulnerable moment. I thought that was a really great thing
to say. So Kelsey, I think is just in you know,
vengeance mode, because Rosie really was coming for Kelsey first,
you know what I mean. Like, so this whole thing
about them, I think that was just her trying to
give her a little taste of her own medicine and
just do a backhand and compliment. And then it was
nice to see that they actually did talk it out,
like the next day at breakfast and I mean after breakfast,
I should say, and they were like, okay, let's just
you know, agree to just move on. And that's good.
Rula not coming. And then how they made that edit
look like she was just lying through her teeth was
because she literally could have been sick, but like they
had her just made it look dead to rights. That
she was making this whole story up.
Speaker 7: And I went to take in by rescue, by rescue,
the way a Jersey housewife loves a nine to one
one call is something that should be studied.
Speaker 3: True Jersey housewife.
Speaker 2: Yes, m hm, who else? I don't know. I just
know that, and it could also be Orange County. But
the way, let's just say this. I'm gonna go ahead
and cadgize all of.
Speaker 3: Them, of all of this wife for sure.
Speaker 2: Okay, Vicky, all of the house Vicky for sure, all
of the housewives, Like if they have an ingrown toenail,
they're like, call emergency. They fucking love and it's so annoying. Okay, Oh,
Lisa Hochstein, I think loves an emergency vehicle at her house.
So I'll just go ahead and say all of them,
not just Jersey. But that was funny. Now we're looking
and then I love she She was like, yeah, I
don't know. They it's I think it's a virus that
they can't pinpoint and categorize yet, which makes it just
selling the biggest bullshit, which it is, like it people
get viruses that you don't know what it is, right,
you know? Yeah, but they made her look so full
of shit and it just made me laugh. And she's
got a full face and makeup in bed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, bringing up the best dishes. Yes, And it's all
I feel like.
Speaker 4: A rust to make Brian look better on camera because
they're just trying to keep these things.
Speaker 3: The wheels on the road here.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, and they're coming off. So you've got
Joellen is upset, she's got she she brings Liz in,
she's got I've got proof for Rula and this video
is up and it is indisputable evidence according to Liz.
There's a blonde woman. And on the.
Speaker 4: After show, joel And said, I have a lot more
I could be saying. And then she says, well, one
thing I will say is that.
Speaker 3: They have the same barista. They go to the same barista,
Lady Gaga.
Speaker 4: And so she said that the barista told her allegedly
that he goes in there with the mistress and sits
at the same table he goes in there with Rula
with They don't even switch the tables up. He doesn't
switch the tables up. He has the same seat, just
a different gaal at the table.
Speaker 2: This guy, that to me felt like the worst that
that is the worst. You're absolutely right. Oh my god, wow,
I am so oh. There's nothing you you're getting in
between me and my salon. No, you're dead. You're dead
to me, Rula, leave him. We'll put you on Love Island. Anyway.
I'm glad that Ashley I left the boat. A lot
of housewives would not have done that. Not gonna call
it any names, but you're a good mother, and I'm
very happy to see that we've got some good ladies
here on Rhode Island. I'm loving the show and we
are gonna talk more about it next next week. So
you know, maybe we'll bring our dolls to the recap
next week. Okay, would that be great?
Speaker 3: I already bring my doll when I sign on with you, Amy.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, I thought I saw something behind that curtain
peaking out. I'm your doll, I'm your.
Speaker 3: Dog, and put makeup.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna call emergency vehicles rescue
