E16 - The Summer House Dinner Party From Hell
What set off Kyle’s temper during dinner, and what was with Amanda’s awkward facial expressions? And did Carl and Bailey make out? Along with another wild episode to discuss, we have all the Summer House news outside of the house — West is still on Raya, Michael Rappaport had some thoughts on Lindsay Hubbard, and what did West say in his text to KJ? Then we zoom off to Rhode Island to talk about the doll-themed tea party and the masquerade dinner — were teams formed? Continuing with the dinner party theme, Atlanta had one that was a doozy, but why did some of the ladies refuse to participate? We finish up our discussion of Carl Radke’s book, Cake Eater — where does he go from here? And as always, we wrap things up with a rapid-fire round, so come run down the week in Bravo with us!You can find us:@the.bravorundown - Tiktok & IG Genevieve Melzer@therealmezofbravo - Tiktok, Instagram, & [email protected] Weber@just_bookin_around - Tiktok, Instagram, & Threads@bravobravobooksandbravo - Tiktok, Instagram, & [email protected]

E15 - Amanda With the Good Edit?
Were the Summer House audio leaks released to prevent Amanda from getting a favorable edit going into the spinoff In the City? Is Amanda’s best friend—and fellow In the City castmate—getting hate simply by association? The Hamptons cheaters aren’t the only ones we’re discussing—we’ve got some scandalous events unfolding in Rhode Island, too. Was Jo Ellen right? Did Dr. Brian go see his mistress, and why isn’t Rula listening? Speaking of insufferable men, we break down PK’s podcast interview, Teddi’s take on it, and Dorit’s response. Plus, just how amicable will Kyle and Mau’s divorce really be?

E14 - Soft Bar & Bravo Book Club
Before diving back into Carl Radke’s book Cake Eater, we head to Brooklyn to discuss the opening of Carl’s sober bar and the awkward confrontation between Carl’s mom and Lindsay Hubbard. Then we jump back into Carl’s book and talk about Carl’s trauma, heavy addiction troubles, attempts to get sober, and his rock bottom moment. We discuss Carl’s path to sobriety and how it really gave greater meaning to Carl’s opening of Soft Bar in this week’s episode of Summer House. Come break down this Bravo book with us!

From hot takes to changing opinions, there’s a lot to discuss in the Bravo world this week. Do we really know why Rachel and Rodger filed for divorce?

There was a lot to decipher in the Hamptons this week with our Mrs. Doubtfire look-alike. Was West flying high, or just in his feelings? And what’s West pouting more about—Ciara not wanting him, or Jesse wanting Ciara? Speaking of children, did Bethenny Frankel cross the line with her TikTok about Rachel Zoe putting her kids in front of the RHOBH cameras? Should wee tykes even film for reality TV? And then we got some returning shows this week! Ladies of London: The New Reign premiered with a bang. Did Dara try to pull a Denise Richards? And of course, Southern Hospitality returns.
