The Bravo Rundown

Genevieve and Sonia

Genevieve and Sonia are two friends who met online through a shared love of analytical deep dives into pop culture and Bravo TV. While the two live almost 2,000 miles apart, that doesn’t get in the way of their dissection of relationships and drama, it only enhances their discussions. Join them each week as they dive deep into the hottest Bravo topics.

E38 - RHOSLC Toothbrush Gate & RHONY Feuds
Did Lisa Barlow really get invited to the Oscars? Is Erin accusing Hailey of breaking up a marriage basically the equivalent of being called “jam”?

We’re talking about the never-ending season of RHUGT, the return of Alexis Bellino on RHOC, Ariana Madix starring in a scripted Peacock show, and all the Bravo headlines. Then, we’re wrapping it all up with a rapid-fire round, Bravo style! Come run down the week in Bravo with us!

E37 - RHOSLC vs. RHONY
A new housewife has entered the Salt Lake villa, and we discuss how it could potentially change the alliances on RHOSLC and move the show forward. RHONY is chugging full steam ahead, and are we getting an idea of the two teams with Jessel and Erin being the opposing leaders? Next Gen ended, but we still want more! We dig into the RHOC luau and take a couple of tangents to reflect on the world of Housewives. We wrap things up with our rapid-fire Bravo-style game. Come run down the week in Bravo with us!

E36 - RHOSLC Premiere & The Many Moods of Vicki Gunvalson
RHOSLC premiered this week, and we have so many thoughts, including who is shockingly holding the center snowflake! We get into this week’s RHONY (What did Jessel say to Carole about Carolyn Bessette?), Brooks clocking in to the Next Gen Reunion after a pep talk with Mama Meredith, Vicki being vulnerable on RHOC, and what got into Luann on the Miami stop on RHUGT? We’ve got some very hot takes, things we just can’t stop thinking about, and, as always, we end things with our rapid-fire Bravo style. Come run down the week in Bravo with us!

RHONY premiered this week, and we have to break down the episode, the new Housewives, and the drama with the returning ladies.

E23 - West’s Whiteboard Confession
We thought we were done with Summer House—but not so fast. West decided to answer everything he didn’t answer at the reunion, but on social media. Did he honestly answer the questions, or did he just give us what we wanted to hear? And will the real Amanda Batula please stand up? Was that who we saw on In the City this week? Then we run down all of this week’s Bravo hot topics, including the RHORI reunion, the RHOA seating chart, where Janet stands on The Valley, the Next Gen NYC premiere, and more!

E21 - B*tches Love A Summa House
We thought we were ready to pack our bags and move on from the Summer House scandal, but no! We have a bonus aftermath episode coming, and we have so many thoughts and predictions about what’s to come. But first, we have to break down part three of the reunion, and we have much more to say than what Amanda was partaking in and the fact that nothing was resolved. Beyond Summer House, we also have the RHOC trailer, RHORI reunion looks, and a couple of Bravoleb run-ins with the law to discuss. We wrap things up with Genevieve’s thoughts on Love Island, so come run down the week in Bravo with us!

E20 - Tippy Toes
A sober, emotional Kyle, a more stone-cold Amanda, is West just trying to pander to the audience, and should West’s ex, Meija, join the cast? We have so much more to discuss and break down from Part Two of the Summer House reunion and In the City, which we just learned is also getting a reunion! The fights aren’t only happening in the Hamptons. We also break down the Jo Ellen and Liz verbal—and slightly physical—brawl, and you might be surprised by our takes. We make a quick stop in Atlanta before wrapping things up with a sprinkling of Sonia’s thoughts on The Valley and Genevieve’s rapid recap of Love Island. Come run down the week in Bravo with us!
