Bravo Breakdowns

Michele and Lauren bravely descend into the Bravo underworld to investigate Stassi’s literal dark passenger: her husband, Bo. Is he a misunderstood creative? A Bravo plant? Or just kind of bad with money and vibes? Along the way, they unpack their whole deal—from early love bombing to podcasting into the void—and ask the important questions, like: “Is Bo okay?” and “Did he actually think he could act?”Time Stamps:Stassi's relationship history 7:15Bo & Stassi's Whole Deal 17:45BO: Insights into his Background 32:28Bo's True Hollywood Story 41:52Bo'sActing Reel starts around 47:35

Lauren and Michele are playing catch-up on Bravo's crown jewel, "The Valley", so they recap back-to-back episodes! Timestamps:Episode 5 Recap: 6:54Episode 6 Recap: 44:20Two recaps means...Twice as many performances and analyses of Jesse and Michele's beautifully written, sexually tense fights!Twice as much theorizing about where in the world is Jax Taylor??? (Because he is not at inpatient treatment at a rehab or a mental health facility, that's for dang sure.)Twice as many tangents about "The Jazz Singer"!Next week we will recap Episodes 7 and 8, and then it's time for us to say Bienvenido a Miami and start our Real Housewives of Miami coverage!

Lauren and Michele unpack "The Baldwins" season finale and accidentally end up unpacking... their own lives. It’s part TV recap, part emotional spiral. They talk burnout, boundaries, and why this show hit way too close to home.It’s messy, heartfelt, occasionally unhinged—and the perfect end to the season.Follow @Bravo_Breakdowns for more chaos and catharsis.

Lauren & Michele are doing a Bethenny Frankel Tiktok deep dive- and who better to break it down with than the #1 Bethenny Tiktok Recapper and pop culture scholar, Evan Lazarus (@elaziee on Tiktok, Girls ReWatch Podcast). We try to get to the bottom of Bethenny's electric Tiktok presence, plus we discuss the latest season of RHOSLC, why men aren't reading fiction anymore, and tackle other big questions, such as:"Why is Bethenny fixated on Meghan Markle, Albanians and drones?""Is Bethenny becoming unhinged, or is she just great at baiting engagement?"and finally,"Who is more evil, Jen Shah or Elizabeth Holmes?"Timestamps::23- Intro3:33- Evolution of Bethenny- From Reality TV to Influencer 9:04- Has Bethenny become more chaotic since leaving Bravo? 13:23- Is Bethenny making the big bucks on Tiktok? 19:02- Is Bethenny the impulsive version of Martha Stewart? 23:24- Bethenny's Move to Miami and Mysterious Deleted Videos 30:44- New Frankelphiles- What are their demographics? 33:44- Jen Shah and Elizabeth Holmes- the alpha and the sigma36:12- SLC Season 5 + Monica and Mary Cosby analysis 43:09- Evan's SLC environmental thesis 45:22- Girls ReWatch Podcast + how Girls is like reality TV 49:39: Is Skinnygirl back in in Ozempic Era 2025?55:06- Talking TV recs- The Pitt, Industry, Enlightened + White Lotus58:19- Analyzing Bethenny's Meghan Markle and drone obsessions 1:00:40- Oral exams and plugs Follow Evan for hilarious Bethenny Tiktok recaps @elaziee and listen to their podcast, ⁨@girlsrewatchpodcast⁩ avail on YT, Spotify, HBO, just about everywhere, & follow them on IG & Tiktok @ girlrewatchpodcast for a back catalogue of every episode of "Girls" brilliantly recapped (and they are currently covering "Broad City"!)

Michele & Lauren recap "The Valley" Episodes 2 and 3—aka the emotional obstacle course no one asked for but we’re all addicted to.In Episode 2, Jax finally is sent to work-ordered rehab, perhaps never to return (except we know he leaves 2 weeks early)And Episode 3 is filled with savage delights as the battle between Jesse and Michele heats up-Jesse claims his ex-wife/co-parent is a mid-priced call girl at Janet's birthday at a Dave & Busters (and she doesn't like really deny it even?)Are Jesse and Michele the modern day Liz and Dick? Comment below if you agree.Follow us on IG/Tiktok @bravo_breakdowns and watch the video of this episode available on Youtube!

Michele & Lauren recap "The Valley" Episode 4—aka the one where podcast Michele falls in love with Jesse.In The Valley Season 2, Episode 4, the gang heads to Santa Barbara for some “healing,” but it turns into a group therapy session run by chaos and wine. Jax is in rehab but still manages to text Brittany like he's auditioning for a role in as her ex husband sooner rather than later. Jesse tries to win back Michelle with a peace flag, but she treats it like he handed her a wet sock. Meanwhile, Zack and Janet patch things up with tears and hugs—until Zack remembers he’s still mad and throws some passive-aggressive glitter.Follow us on IG/Tiktok @bravo_breakdowns and watch the video of this episode available on Youtube!

Lauren and Michele are back from a break(down) with a bite-sized "The Baldwins" recap! It's half the length of this terrible seventh episode, way funnier, and only half as deranged.The penultimate episode of the series brings a few fun revelations:Carmen creates experimental skin-care and tests it on the baby to keep her looking youngAs we suspected, Hilaria is ready for 10 year old Carmen to start earning her keep and set up a book deal for her Alec has an "assistant" named Emily who is really just a version of Ireland he pays to laugh at his jokes and listen to his acting stories and pretend not to hate himHilaria admits to her "lift" job but insists that her meat is all-naturalHilaria's new book blames her accent faking on ADHD!Plus LOTS of complaining that these Baldwins continue to pretend for 20 minutes an episode that Alec MUST decide to return to acting because the screen NEEDS him!Instead of being honest that Alec's career is over and he's completely washed up and uninsurable! Follow us on IG/Tiktok @bravo_breakdowns and watch the video of this episode available on Youtube!

Michele and Lauren are joined by chaos connoisseur Ellory Smith to break down The Valley Season 2 premiere — Jax is still in denial, Janet sucks, like a lot, and Lauren & Michele defend being "Jesse's Girls".There’s a terrible white party, an even worse intervention style party at Jax's, and Doute is the voice of reason. These actually may be the best days of our lives.Follow Ellory Smith:IG: @ellory_smithTwitter: @ellorysmithYoutube: ⁠⁠youtube.com/@bravobreakdowns⁠Follow Bravo Breakdowns Here:IG: @bravo_breakdownsTikTok: @bravo_breakdownsYoutube: ⁠⁠youtube.com/@bravobreakdowns⁠

Lauren and Michele recap perhaps the funniest episode of the Baldwins yet! (Note: we had some technical difficulties during this episode, so apologies; but what was lost in sound quality was made up for in laughter!) This episode of the Baldwins was all about B-roll close-ups of dog pee and poop on a level reality TV has never seen before. We meet Mocachino and Cappuccino and the 6 terrifying Baldwin cats, plus dog trainer Gail who is a nice middle aged lesbian who is as overstimulated as we are.We also go back and forth in this episode about who is worse- are we Team Alec because Hilaria is playing games with a confused elderly man's mind? Or are we Team Hilaria because every single episode has been all about Alec because he is so self-obsessed he can't have a conversation about anyone else? Find out all this and more on this episode- plus our "The Valley Season 2" bingo cards (available on our IG!) and next week, our Valley S2 Premiere Recap!

Our "The Baldwins" recaps have been hailed by Youtube as "funny", "good", and "made me pity your poor husbands" (pretty sure that one was from Alec Baldwin himself) And now we are bringing our recaps of episodes 3, 4, and 5 to your earholes! Like Lauren and Michele, you too can delight in the madness of this loco familia!Tune in to hear what Hilaria thinks "codeswitching" is, Alec's hilariously offensive "OCD" storyline, and a couples therapy session that made us want to crawl out of our skin, and the hilariously bizarre activities and meals of the Baldwin clan.Oh, and let’s not forget 10-year-old Carmen bringing over a very dynamic friend to discuss Europe and nails—because why not?Follow Bravo Breakdowns Here:IG: @bravo_breakdownsTikTok: @bravo_breakdownsYoutube: youtube.com/@bravobreakdowns
