Hold onto your clams, folks, because this episode is a wild ride through Bravo's most chaotic reunion this year. Take that Summer House! Not since Jersey has a season delivered such a wild, emotional, deeply personal yet hilarious verbal smackdown (and yes, Andy almost gets smacked in this one as collateral). Lauren and Michele break down the most explosive (and hilariously petty) moments- from the Danielle Staub-ification of Miss Rulla, the Slam Pig rematch, and try to decide who is right in the hilarious Joellen/Liz fight over whether they are best friends or just good friends. The Breakdown girls are fightiiiing just like the Rhode Island girls- lots of opinions, laughs, and quoting the epic roasts these reality TV icons are delivering on their first season. In This Episode: The queen of quick comebacks, Joellen, calling Dr. Brian a slut (and now we said it!) Rulla’s new look and new inspiration, Bravo icon Danielle Staub The infamous "slam pig" slang exploding into a full-blown slang monologue from Alicia A directors cut fight about "smoky snow suits" that didn't make the season Liz’s spiritual Kabbalah corner The insane police report drama showcasing Joellen's cop connections Joellen vs. Liz! Rosie vs. Slampig! Ashley vs. Eyedrops! Fasten your seatbelt- part two is coming next week and looks like Alicia is driving. All the true divas RATE 5 STARS! All the true queens LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!
