    Inside The Bravo Verse With Brice Sander

    If you love the Bravo universe, this one’s for you. This week we’re joined by Brice Sander, the self-appointed Chief Real Housewives correspondent and the man who somehow gets reality stars to fight right in front of him. We get into everything from Salt Lake City’s elite status, the Jen Shah question, Monica’s Instagram exposés, and whether Heather Gay is really puppeteering the show. Brice also shares his take on Meredith’s infamous plane drama, Mary Cosby and the cult rumours, and why alleged farting affairs are sometimes better TV than FBI-level scandals. Plus, we jump across franchises to Beverly Hills, OC, Vanderpump Rules and beyond. From Lisa Vanderpump’s unlikely return to Kyle and Mauricio’s marriage rumours, Brice gives us the calm, clear-eyed take every Bravo fan needs.
