Ep. 103 - "RHOSLC Reunion Part 1 Recap with a Side of Spirals & Sidebars”- RHOSLC Episode 17 Recap w/ Farai Bennett
Michele and Lauren are joined by the hilarious Farai Bennett (People Magazine & Entertainment Tonight) and we try to recap the reunion—Meredith derails the opening, Lisa denies alliances while actively tag-teaming, Heather and Angie side-eye everything, Bronwyn’s legal drama resurfaces, and Angie ends it with a scroll of receipts—but then our ADHD kicks in. Suddenly we’re deep in pop-culture chaos, debating Ashley Tisdale mom feuds, redesigning every Housewives franchise, and being silly, snarky, and extremely off-topic… just like Bravo intended.Follow Farai!Instagram & TikTok: @faraibennettFollow Us!Instagram & TikTok: @bravo_breakdowns

Ep. 102 - "Sisters of Salt & Burns”- RHOSLC Episode 16 Recap w/ Jay Reyna
Lauren & Michele are joined by Jay Reyna to recap the SLC Finale. We're still in Greece, where Angie K stages a literal Greek tragedy about the women’s own drama, because subtlety is dead. Actors reenact the season’s mess while the Housewives realize — in real time — they are the problem. Afterward, Bronwyn calls out Meredith for being confusing and manipulative, with Heather and Whitney eagerly piling on. Meredith insists she’s misunderstood, Lisa defends her like it’s her full-time job, and absolutely nothing gets resolved. Meredith storms off, friendships crumble, and the season ends exactly how it began: chaotic, emotional, and extremely well dressed.Follow Jay:Instagram: @notjayreynaFollow us!Instagram: @bravo_breakdownsTikTok : @bravo_breakdownsYouTube: bravobreakdownsContact: bravobreakdowns@gmail.com

Ep. 101 - "“Blood on the Walls, Wine at the Table”- RHOSLC Episode 15 Recap w/ Oliver Sims IV
Michele is joined by guest Oliver Sims IV to recap latest RHOSLC. The Santorini trip goes fully off the rails when a relaxing spa day turns tense, petty splashing ignites bigger issues, and drinking rumors resurface at dinner. Emotions explode, accusations fly, and the night ends in classic RHOSLC fashion with the women being kicked out of a restaurant. To top it all off, Angie’s busted lip literally leaves blood on the walls—because nothing says luxury girls’ trip like chaos, conflict, and bodily fluids.Follow Oliver:Instagram: @oliversimsivTikTok : @oliversimsivFollow us:Instagram: @bravo_breakdownsTikTok : @bravo_breakdownsYouTube: bravobreakdownsContact: bravobreakdowns@gmail.com

Ep. 100 - "Meredith's No Good, Very Bad Mother's Day" - RHOSLC Episode 14 Recap
Our 100th EPISODE! Michele and Lauren recap latest RHOSLC where Mother’s Day in Santorini means donkey rides, Greek food, and absolutely zero emotional breakthroughs. Meredith remains deeply committed to being misunderstood, while Whitney attempts diplomacy and everyone else slowly loses patience. There’s laughter, passive aggression, and just enough scenic beauty to distract from the fact that no one is actually getting along.Instagram: @bravo_breakdownsTikTok : @bravo_breakdownsYouTube: bravobreakdownsContact: bravobreakdowns@gmail.com

Ep. 99 - "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Petty - RHOSLC Episode 12 Recap with Pallavi Gunalan
Michele and Lauren are joined by special guest Pallavi Gunalan to discuss latest RHOSLC episode. Bronwyn kicks things off by picking Todd up at the airport in a sloth costume, while Whitney and Justin struggle with resentment over their failed business. Bronwyn and her mom finally make progress during a pride-flag shopping trip before everyone shifts into colonial drag for her “Spilling the Tea Party.” The women bicker over everything from Lisa’s mysterious horse to Meredith whipping out drug tests after being called a pill-popper. Bronwyn closes the night in a Constitution gown, proposing “amendments” the group will definitely forget next week.Follow Pallavi:Instagram: @paalavigunalanTikTok : @pallavigunalanFollow Bravo Breakdowns:Instagram: @bravo_breakdownsTikTok : @bravo_breakdownsYouTube: bravobreakdownsContact: bravobreakdowns@gmail.com

Ep. 98 - "6 Angry Housewives" - RHOSLC Episode 11 Recap with Angela Von Hatten
Note: apologies for the audio issues with Lauren's track in this episode!Lauren has the pleasure of learning from a guest teacher on this episode, the wonderful Angela Von Hatten from Wonderful Garbage Podcast.They deep dive into the psyches of our favorite Bad Mormons and delight in another banger Mary luncheon!After seeing the holes in the prosecution's case (Lisa pretending to listen to Kendrick Lamar at customs and no one remembering the end of Crazy Rich Asians), we, like the SLC ladies, are forced to rule in favor of the defendant- although there is some dissent over whether Meredith has met the terms of her punishment by delivering her half-assed apology to Brittany at the end of the episode.And both manifest that we will ultimately get footage of the event in question at the reunion.Then, Lauren and Angela make a strong pro-Bronwyn case, though the jury is still out if Bron will be able to form deeper bonds with the tight-knit cast in her next season when her personal life isn't in utter turmoil;They lightly muse on the curious nature of Mary's riches, and Angela has excellent business pitches for both Heather Gay and Whitney the Wild Rose. All this and some Love Island chat, teasing upcoming collabs, and more!Follow Angela @itswonderfulgarbage on Tiktok and IG, and catch up on old Wonderful Garbage episodes in anticipation of their return in 2026!
