Dorit & Sutton's Last Season(?), RHONJ's Return & The Truth Behind "Housewives Fatigue" Mar 09, 2026

Show notes

As this season of RHOBH chugs along, fans continue to cry “boring”, Amanda proves she is not afraid of any of them and we start to wonder, just how will this cast be switched up after this less than stellar year. Dorit is carrying the season but, as history has taught any good Bravo fan, time and time again, that does not guarantee another season nor is it necessarily a good thing. One thing is for certain, cast changes are certain in a mere few weeks once this season comes to an end. On the other hand, RHONJ is set to return with test filming set to begin later this month. Or is it? Last, but not least, we deep dive the future of Real Housewives, analyze whether Housewives fatigue is a real thing and discuss how much the ratings even matter any more these days.

Show notes

Carole Radziwill is returning to RHONY. Hasn’t someone mentioned this a few times before? With Carole’s return, the new cast is revealed. Welcome Daisy, Hailey and last, but certainly not least, Erika. Fans weigh in as Sai, Erin and Jessel prepare to fight with, and make up with, this new slew of young newbies. Dorit’s latest actions are questionable, strange and a seemingly cry for help. Last, but not least, RHOP concludes with an emotional Andy, a no apologies Stacey and a still in denial, for much different reasons, Karen and Wendy.

Erika Jayne Opens Up, Andy Compares Jill Zarin To Jennifer Aydin & Kyle Cheats On Amanda Maybe Mar 04, 2026

Show notes

Erika Jayne opens up about all sorts of things, prepares to face a jury and is still on the outs with Dorit as this season of RHOBH actually, to everyone’s surprise, heats up. Denise Richards seems like she would be a great housewife, after her cameo the other week, now that she is protected, by law, from her crazy ex. Andy Cohen compares Jill Zarin to Jennifer Aydin. Ouch. Kyle cheats on Amanda, maybe, kinda, probably. Last, but not least, where the F is Nancy Guthrie?

Erika Jayne's 911 Call, RHOBH's Upcoming Major Cast Changes & Scheana Shay Is Not Okay Mar 04, 2026

Show notes

Scheana Shay will never reconcile with Lala, prepares to watch Schwartzy on The Valley and insists that she is more than okay not being a part of this show. Erika Jayne reveals more details about her 911 call but Bravoholics and Internet Sleuths deep dive her cry for help and just who may have been the party on the other end of EJ’s claims. Rachel Zoe continues to dominate this season of RHOBH. There seems to still be a bunch of double standards concerning newbie Amanda Frances. Last, but not least, rumors of RHOBH cast changes at the end of this mediocre season arise again with shocking names on the rumored chopping block.

Amanda Frances Carries RHOBH, Vicki Gunvalson Almost Arrested & Luis Ruelas Saves The Day Mar 03, 2026

Show notes

Amanda Frances is working overtime this RHOBH season and, some say, has singlehandedly saved what would otherwise be a slow season for our fav diamond holders. Luis Ruelas saves the day, according to Teresa Giudice, and is responsible for everything and anything good that has ever happened to her. Vicki Gunvalson was almost arrested in Mexico. Wendy Osefo has learned nothing. Last, but not least, where the F is Nancy Guthrie.
