On this week’s solo episode, Dylan is back to discuss a myriad of Bravo-related topics, starting with Bethenny Frankel’s latest questionable business venture… which might actually be a return to what she was doing when we met her. Then, he’s freshly caught up on a whirlwind season of The Valley, and he has many thoughts as we round the bend on the season finale. What is Luke’s problem? And similarly, what is Danny’s problem? Much to consider. Then, he caps off season 1 of In The City with a discussion of the reunion, and what this cast could learn from their Valley counterparts.

Are Mothers Off Limits? RHOA, RHOC, In The City, Next Gen NYC & News On The RHONY Spinoff
The air is smoky, the lettuce is parasitic, but at least the Bravo news is plentiful. Dylan is back for another Friday episode, and he kicks things off with casting news about Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, plus some updates on The Golden Life, which is apparently still filming. Then, he braces himself for a very chaotic episode of RHOA, which sees Porsha and Shamea’s feud escalating in Edinburgh, and Pinky finally becoming a more well-rounded part of the group. Then it’s over to RHOC, where Tamra is still trying to figure out who likes her, and Emily Simpson is 50 and hotter than ever. From there, Dylan has some thoughts on the season finale of In The City (Whitney, you’re in danger girl!) and Next Gen NYC (Riley, you’re also in danger girl!).

Brinity Ever After & The Real World Comes For Our Islanders | Love Island USA Eps 32-35
On this week’s Mention It All: Island Time, Dylan and Chris officially make it to the end of Love Island USA Season 8, where Brinity rides off into the sunset with $29K each after taxes and a follower count worth way more. They unpack Family Day’s failed intervention for Melanie and finale dates that made production’s favorites painfully obvious. Judging by the stale, swamp-side deli sandwiches, Zach and Kayda weren’t it. Plus, they get into the post-show follower explosion and the celebrity video montage that gave full “Gal Gadot Imagine video” energy. Looking ahead to the reunion, will the couples be thriving, broken up, or still somehow explaining what an exclusive situationship means? Learn more about your ad choices.

RHOC Turns 20 & Next Gen NYC Turns Chaotic
This week, Dylan kicks things off with news about which Bravolebs are surprise Emmy nominees this year. He also takes a look at the upcoming season of Married At First Sight, which could be summer’s next dating show fixation once Love Island wraps up. From there, he digs into the season premiere of RHOC, marking 20 years of California chaos. Like most of those years, Tamra starts the season in the hot seat, and Vicki Gunvalson’s return is slightly delayed by… immigration paperwork? After breaking down the OC dynamics, Dylan turns his attention to Next Gen NYC, where a chaotic girls/guys night situation feels like a step up for the sophomore series. And over in Connecticut, In The City’s Friendsgiving trip gets off to a rocky start, with Lindsay activated, Kyle and Amanda fighting (again), and some new bone carriers doing the lord’s work.

Movie Night Was Epic... Now What? | Love Island USA Eps 25-31
On this week’s Mention It All: Island Time, Dylan and Chris unpack Love Island USA Eps 25-31 as the season enters its “last day of school” era, where everyone is tired, the activities are random, and the couples are somehow both settled and barely hanging on. From Movie Night fallout to Sincere sweet-talking his way back into Melanie’s heart, they question why the villa is acting like these toxic couples are already locked into a lease together. They also get into karaoke night, the world’s most random immunity idol, Parmida and Corbin’s perfectly timed exit, and Kenzie and Dylan’s crying showcase. Plus, Zach and Kayda invent an exclusive situationship that absolutely no one asked for, but sure, we're happy for them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Little Girls & Big Feelings | Love Island USA Eps 20-24
On this week’s Mention It All: Island Time, Dylan and Chris “com-promise” on one thing: Love Island USA Eps 20-24 were the most exciting of the season. From the Casa Amor recoupling turning into Bad Girls Club to Brinity making it official, they are strapped into this roller coaster ride of emotions. They vent about basically every man's latest offenses, plus production blowing the entire budget on one Ariana Grande song. And with Movie Night looming, they predict Melanie may either be reduced to tears or finally snap her way into a Fijian prison, which honestly feels fair. Learn more about your ad choices.

Is This The Messiest Casa Amor Ever? | Love Island USA Eps 14-19
On this week’s Mention It All: Island Time, Dylan and Chris unpack Love Island USA Eps 14-19, where Casa Amor finally arrives via a wrapped gift box containing pure emotional destruction. From Kenzie’s rage splits to Tierra’s tunnel vision for KC, no one is acting normally, and honestly, thank god. As the villa reaches the “epi-tome” of testing connections, as Sincere would say, they debate which Casa bombshells have staying power and which couples might survive the mess. Plus, they get into the challenge that inched dangerously close to full frontal, and the girth check that is making everyone question if they’re being queerbaited. Learn more about your ad choices.
