Andy’s Girls with Sarah Galli is a semiweekly podcast that dives deep into the drama on and off Bravo TV. A mix of C-SPAN and ”Iyanla Fix My Life,” episodes focus on the psychology behind the Real Housewives franchise. Named a ’Certified Bravoholic’ by Bravo, Sarah is joined by rotating guest co-hosts, from Real Housewives themselves to prominent culture writers, comedians, and Bravoholics.
The podcast Andy’s Girls: A Real Housewives Podcast is created by Sarah Galli. The podcast and the artwork on this page are embedded on this page using the public podcast feed (RSS).
Sarah puts on her best Surrealist garb (a Team Tamra t-shirt, cause ya know, it's not real life), and hitches a ride to Sutton's premiere party. She watches Kyle and Dorit tangle, and realizes this ep is in and of itself a work of art. And all masterpieces have layers to unpack: she deep dives the missing pieces about Dorit and PK's separation that the cast fills in on the after show, Dorit's decision to share Kyle's text on camera, the possibility of loving Kyle and being Team Dorit, the difference between manipulation and miscommunication, how Kyle and Dorit's different power positions have helped create an imbalance in Kyle's on camera 'underdog' identity, Dorit and Boz's immediate connection, and oh yes, yada on Erika, Garcelle, and Sutton. The crown is heavy, darlings, and it's also shaped like a deer - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 614!

Sarah watches an episode of the People's Court, and realizes that it wouldn't take a jury to acquit Shan of all charges (Johnny J read that sentence and filed an immediate appeal). Inspired, Sarah Zooms up her Bravoholic pal, and a lawyer in practice at the Bravo Supreme Court, Angela Angotti (co-host of The Bravo Docket pod). They put on their best girl boss attire (literally anything, cause that's how girl bosses roll), and unpack the latest legal developments in the Bravo universe (and how Bravo storytelling handles real court cases), the allegations that PK and Dorit are once again facing money issues, what Angela found while researching that decade-old police report involving Katie (and why it never should have been mentioned at the reunion), the powerful use of Jen's voice during this season and the reunion, the likelihood of Alexis returning to OC next season, Gina's amazing grace (and what Travis didn't say during the 'moving out' ep), and whether Chateau Dubrow will take up residence on RHOBH. You don't need a law degree to love this convo (but mazel if you have both) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 613!

Sarah watches the Orange County reunion and Salt Lake City extended ep and is almost able to successfully erase memories of New New York. Almost. Deterred by the fact that that silver memory stick remote yada from Men in Black is not yet avail on Amazon Prime, she realizes the next best option is a Bravoholic bestie in the prime of her (pod) life: content creator and host of the pod "High & Low," Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. After forgetting to fully introduce her until a solid 30 minutes into the episode, they talk about Teddi's non-acknowledgement acknowledgement about the affair (and PR overdrive response), Becky Minkoff's sleight of hand 'prank' against the audience and cast, Katie and her kiddo's high and lows (the lows are also highs), Alexis' full time role as the protector of male ego, a critical error in applying logic to Lisa Barlow's allergy to coach, Bronwyn's battle to have her feelings considered/acknowledged, Heather and Lisa's genuine and in no way transactional friendship, and more. Xenu loves an LOL, so that's something - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 612!

Call it a to be continued, "Back From the Future"-style. Thanks to some updated receipts (thanks, Bravo Docket), and Sarah's AG mission statement ("normalize changing your mind based on new information"), Sarah sits down for an OC reunion part 1 rewatch, and deepens perspectives on the dynamics between Emily, Katie, Heather...and us. Orange County may be over next week (waaaaaa), but the convo is ongoing - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 611!

If this is Teddi's definition of All In... Sarah hears the breaking news details about Teddi Mellencamp's alleged affair with her horse trainer while his wife was giving birth, and knows immediately that she simply has to record an emergency ep. So she sends an SOS bat call to AG's official accountability coach, content creator and "High & Low" podcast host, Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. BBDB and Sarah put on a few thousand-dollar cowboy hats (it's what Kyle would want, in addition to silence), and unpack all of the alleged details: Teddi's attempted cover-up in racing to file for divorce in order to shift suspicion in Edwin's direction, what 'sources' close to the horse trainer's wife (and Team Teddi) have to say, the wild attention this has gotten vs. what's been sent All In's way, and how this might impact Teddi's job as someone who, ya know, stays accountable. Straight from the horse's mouth - naaaaayyyy - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 610!

Sarah hides in steerage on Todd and Bronwyn's private jet - coincidentally, their luggage compartment is more comfortable than economy plus - and has her own ladies who launch (grenades) weekend in Palm Springs. With a balmy heat of precisely 130 degrees (and that's just measuring the temperature between Bronwyn and Barlow, natch). Sarah lounges in the bathtub meant for Meredith Marks (turns out hanging a sign that says "Welcome to Ohio" is the perfect way to steer her toward another door), and deep dives Bronwyn v. Lisa B. v. Heather v. Friendship, Todd's confusion over the entire premise of this specific show, Lisa's belief that Justin owes her an apology (for being yelled at, one presumes), and Meredith and Seth’s bumpy road. Who needs five million dollars of diamonds (Sarah does, ahem), this convo is priceless (though those diamonds would be nice as well) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 609!

Lord, lord, lord. This country has drained me. After a few days spent staring at various walls in her apartment (better content than New New York, so there's that), Sarah takes a deep breath, thinks about Archie Beador, and, technically speaking, talks. She shares her feelings on post-election feelings (breaking news: people have some), and deep dives RHOC: Tamra's change in volume and tone but perhaps not intention, Shannon's clear eyes, full hearts can't lose mission statement to the world, a genuine shock about Katie's past (and what went too far), and Jen's continued lack of curiosity about events that should, ya know, inspire some thinking. Sarah's going one day at a time, so thank goodness for a day spent thinking about Shan - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 608! Everyone just try to hang in!

On a very important and critical day in this country's history (deciding whether or not RHONY's reboot can boot once more), Sarah gets out the vote. After voting (for herself for Future Bartender on WWHL Maybe But Like Also IDK TBD, Here's to 2029), she settles into her fave Miraval Spa satellite location, the cloffice, for a hilling Bravo themed sound bath. It's the number one way to calm nerves and cackle, recommended on both sides of the aisle. Ya know, groom's side (Chris Manzo's fam), and Sarah's (AG guests). Keep calm and BravoTV on - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 607!

The journey continues. On part 2, Sarah and Dylan Hafer discuss whether Tamra has lost her ability to self regulate and self reflect, Jen’s heartwarming love story (...), what “done” means to Shan, the smoking gun about that babysitting convo, an extra WTF about that blog gossip involving Gina and Trav aka collateral damage, a genuinely enjoyable return to entertainment for the Potomac cast with an asterisk about Karen, Stacey’s Keyoncé energy and fight for narrative against Ashley, and an in memoriam to the gone and definitely forgotten OG, Robyn. Gizelle is having a solid season so far, miracles exist - it’s Andy’s Girls, Episode 606! Part 2!

The cloffice is hilling, one cackle at a time. After a triumphant week in television and also New New York, Sarah realizes it's past time for her fave prescription: Vitamin SBBD. So she opens the Beador to her Bravoholic bestie, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches, aka SBBD). They settle in for a short and sweet 18 hour two-part episode. On part 1: the differing ways each current franchise utilizes stakes, New New York’s highs (Sai’s vulnerability mourning her mom with family) and lows (mostly everything else about the entire show at this very moment), Lisa Barlow’s parenting style and personality, Bronywn and Heather’s battle royale, and of course, sweet Brittani. Part 2 continues the sass thanks to Orange County and Potomac - right after Andy’s Girls, Episode 606! Part 1!

Boo! John Janssen sent a Venmo request. But this OC catchup is priceless! Sarah deep dives the last two episode of Orange County, just time to watch tonight's epic journey. And what a tale to tell: she unpacks Tamra and Shannon's text history of boundary crossing against co-stars, Gina and Emily's continued MVP championship season as the voices of reason, confusion around Katie's daughter's babysitting 411, and what on earth is going on with Heather Dubrow. Chateau Dubrow may be checked out, but this dame is checked in - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 605!

Leave the gun, take the cannoli. And a mob cash themed 25th anniversary cake. Sarah continues her hilling journey the best way she knows how: with a couple of extra thorny Roses, natch. She unpacks the last two eps of RHOSLC, a true delight: Bronwyn and Gwen's vulnerable conversation about being abandoned by a family continuing to push their self interest about their grandchild, Brittani, poor sweet poor Brittani, and her search for "safety" in all the wrong places (Jared Osmond is a bad place to start!), a partial cast revolt against Heather's sh*t stirring, and Lisa Barlow and Angie's parenthood war. Throw in Duckhunt and enjoy a franchise soaring to new heights - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 604!

Still on her hilling journey post-abdominal surgery, Sarah watches the new RHONY and finds the strength, the endurance, the willpower to screech. She settles into the cloffice for a deep dive: Brynn's manipulative interest in 'protecting' Ubah by policing her upset (coincidentally, upset aimed at her), Raquel's vulnerable moment sharing the reason why she and her mom changed their last names, Brynn's selective on-camera coaching, and Jenna's 'promise I won't tell you we're actually engaged' diamond. The hilling starts now, and this week's return to sass - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 603!

You know what brings Sarah joy? Having a bowl of 9 lemons (scientifically proven to increase one's standom of Shan), and an in-person cloffice kiki with one of her Bravoholic pals, Gibson Johns (host of the pod "Gabbing with Gib"). They send each other blink Morse code about perhaps ahem thinking about OG NY but not comparing but maybe, and unpack the difficulty of casting “grounded” Housewives (vs not of this earth), Gibson's convo with Abe (and why Househusbands are destined for a background edit), Tamra's No-Redemption tour, and more. The only thing grounded about this ep is what happened right before it set flight - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 602!

Still in the midst of her post-surgery hilling journey, Sarah is so so thankful for a deep dive with her fave vegan GF chicken noodle soup for the soul, and Bravoholic truth teller, Erica Cobb (recent co-host, "Daily Blast Live," and NAACP-nominated host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb," a podcast and social media show). They settle in for a round-the-world-in-60-minutes deep dive of their fave franchises, from the lack of empathy on Orange County, to the stunning interactions between Brittani and That Other Osmond on Salt Lake, the new friend-of on NY (Xenu, obviously), and more. This convo is is giving vitamins A-Z - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 601!

Take off of work, because this ep is a national holiday: when the cackle has been heard, well, millions of times. Sarah turns AG 600 the best way she knows how: by talking about Shan. She lights her Pedro Pascal holy candle in the cloffice, and Zooms up one of her Bravoholic besties, also known as BBDB to AGs, Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (content creator and host of the pod "High and Low." High and low, also known as Tamra's strategy this season (more on the latter, tbh). And no better time to unpack RHOC so far: Shan's continued fight against the world, Heather Dubrow's near slide into obscurity, Alexis' threat to mention it all, Gina Kirschenheiter, secret MVP, and more. Shan's been to the cloffice, what more could Sarah ask for - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 600!

Sarah is writing show notes from the future, on her hilling journey post surgery. But who needs a future status update, when there's so much in the present to unpack. She deep dives the new episodes of RHONY and RHOP: Ubah and Sai's frustration with Brynn's apology, Stacey and Raquel's star quality, Karen's decision to create a Housewives moment (or simply be selfish AF) with Gizelle's event honoring her dad, and more. Two solid eps - we are truly blessed - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 599.9!

Sarah wakes up on surgery day with a pit in her stomach. No, not what doctors will be removing on this holy day. She hasn't had her fave travel guide Bravoholic on the pod in a minute - and not a moment too soon. So she books a trip to Wisconsin (not because her guest lives there, she wants to build a monument to Britani’s toast), and Zooms up her pal, Richie Skye (pop culture expert and travel enthusiast). After discussing Richie's love of self care through globe trotting, they unpack Bronwyn's possible Little Monsters identity, the characteristics Britani shares with OG RHONY castmates, Heather's continued work as chess master, the tension between Lisa Barlow, Angie, Whitney, and Bronwyn, and of course, Karen Huger. Just call today a hilling journey, beginning with this deep dive - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 599.5!

Sarah realizes she needs to make some self improvements in her life, so after signing a billion-year contract with the Sea Org, and mourning that Chris Manzo and Pedro Pascal have been declared suppressive people, she heads to the new celebrity center (Nordstrom Rack). It's the perfect location for a RHONY deep dive: the somewhat baffling normalization over Becky Minkoff's very chill and normal community, remaining questions over that Bitcoin reveal between Erin and Abe, Sai and Ubah's frustration with Brynn, and the secret ingredient RHONY is missing. Jenna may have a $200k Bentley, but this convo is priceless - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 599!

Sarah goes to Whole Foods for some RHOC London themed accoutrement: Cheerios, obviously, and a $2,000 hotel suite in the organic aisle. She adds a union jack hat to her cart, and zooms home for an epic deep dive: unpacking Shannon's smoking gun text (and how Alexis and Tamra may respond), Heather's hurt about not being included in conversation about her mammogram results, a fact check on Jen's glam team, the use of "propaganda" in describing Shannon's post-accident picture reveal, John Janssen's newest settlement offer (threat), and the cast's upset around Shannon's Jeff Lewis Live misspeak. Alexis may not love this convo, but thankfully active listening is not among her skill set - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 598!

Sarah books a ticket to the happiest place on Earth: Milwaukee, Wisconsin (universally considered the Finland of the Midwest). Delighted by a vegan GF tofu corn dog and any number of Greek paraphernalia Angie K. left behind, she catches up on the last two eps of Salt Lake City and, wouldn't ya know, has a couple thoughts to share: Bronwyn's crash course in a first season initiation (which she has no interest in taking on without a fight), cast misconceptions about Britani 'crossing the line' (which applies more against herself than anyone else), Mary's triggers around abandonment, and Meredith's decision to have a bat mitzvah and further connect with her Jewish identity. Lisa Barlow said this ep, much like her fave Diet Coke, is serving perfectly chilled - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 597!

All we (must) do is drive back, drive back. To Sunday's RHOP premiere, and a short list of 1500 follow-ups. Sarah seats herself in the cloff, and after a spiritual status update on being Hebrew in these United States (aka, lord help us, online), she deep dives the surprisingly pleasant (ahem) Potomac premiere: the editors' artistic license around that 'reenactment' (hopefully one in good standing, unlike Karen's), what it means to have a grande dame platforming seatbelt safety and not also why we shouldn't drink and drive, the sometimes unfair reality around individual Housewife storyline contributions, and how that impacts Dr. Wendy vs. Mia, Ashley's decision to divorce Michael Darby, the cost of revealing information that might affect cast members' kids, and cast discussion of Mia's parenting vs. Gordon's spilled tea. Potomac threw its hat in the ring, and it's shaped like a variety of plush produce - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 596!

A day meant for singing: praise, heckles, zest. Sarah finally, blessedly catches up on the last two episodes of Orange County, a true Rosh Hashanah gift. And what a series of New Beginnings she has to unpack. An almost entirely cough-free episode, that's how amazing Archie Beador is as a spiritual therapy guide from afar. Bedtime carrots for everyone! (Don't tell Teddi Jo.) Sarah unpacks the devastatingly funny high points (Katie and Matt's dinner party, Shannon's 60th shiva call, Alexis' 'front door' security announcement which will likely bartend on WWHL next week), the moments that made Sarah verklempt (Gina and Katie's family hilling journeys, Emily's fourth wall breaking vulnerability and work with the Innocence Center), and yes, a couple moments that made her jackhole of the day (editors, ahem, that one thing was too damn much). It's a 90 min chaos parade, perfect for brunch - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 595!

Pneumonia won't stop the cloffice lights from going on, and neither will some other yada. Sarah welcomes herself back to the land of the living, introduces everyone to a new friend-of (Barbra Streisand-Mellencamp, soon to be surgically demoted), and deep dives the RHONY S2 premiere: Brynn's "I'm too cute to have ulterior motives" persona, a change of perspective on Sai, Jenna's spiritual (literal?) mother-in-law's Anne Meara energy, Becky Minkoff's cluelessness, the revelation that is Raquel, and WTF is going on with Erin and Abe. Ubah Hot is back and spicier than ever, let us all say amen - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 594! Cough!

Sarah crawls out of her pneumonia cave and thinks, is the temp in the Bravo world too hot right now, or is that just a residual fever? Undeterred thanks to cough drops, ginger ale, and (true) faith, she begins her journey back to health, one DVR'd episode at a time. First up: two Orange Counties ago (time flies), where she unpacks Emily's vulnerable conversation with Heather and the cast about whether or not she is being seen/dismissed/devalued, Katie and Tamra's conversations with their kids about the impact of contentious divorce, Alexis' challenge to handle stresses - including one created by her partner - and more. Take a sip of tea every time Sarah spills some - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 593!

Auntie Sarah has pneumonia, and realizes the best prescription (aside from hexagonal ice, obvs) is this prestige two part AG with Kristen Taekman from the cloffice archives! Original show notes from "Shmorit: Part 2" are below!
"Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy" star, and RHONY alum, Kristen Taekman makes her triumphant return to the pod. In this two-parter, Sarah and Kristen discuss Kristen's experiences on RHUGT, thoughts on Kelly's breakup, Bethenny's recent dinner date reunion with Jill, Jenna Lyons' return to the NY reboot, which Bravolebs were less than friendly at BravoCon, her friendship status with Brandi Glanville, and of course, thoughts on the RHONJ stalemate and RHOC resurgence. Consider this a pop of color in podcast form - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 565 - part 2!

Sarah hangs a banner outside the cloffice: come, all ye Housewives, to deep dive. Immediately, the Bravoleb bat call is answered, by "Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy" star, and RHONY alum, Kristen Taekman (a true double threat: Bravoholic and Bravoleb!). In this two-parter, they discuss Kristen's experiences on RHUGT, thoughts on Kelly's breakup, Bethenny's recent dinner date reunion with Jill, Jenna Lyons' return to the NY reboot, which Bravolebs were less than friendly at BravoCon, her friendship status with Brandi Glanville, and of course, thoughts on the RHONJ stalemate and RHOC resurgence.

It's true. Auntie Sarah is fighting the fight for Shan stans everywhere, and also against an infection attempting to take down her cackle and lungs. For the record, the reason she got pneumonia is because of Alexis and John. Don't question the logic, it's definitely there. Just enjoy a re-listen to the Most Important Andy's Girls of All Time - Sarah's sit down in the cloffice with Sweet, Sweet Shan.
Original show notes below!
Well it's official, Sarah has seen the face of God. And her name is Shan. In the most important moment of world history since dinosaurs said "hey what's that in the sky, does someone hear a booming noise or whatever," the light of Sarah's life, the twinkle in her eye, her spiritual Housewife forever and ever amen, came to the cloffice, and they had a lil chat. That's right, Shannon Beador is here, so now Sarah can never move out of her apartment. And PS, this was a convo for the ages. They discuss Shannon's journey on and off Bravo TV, her reaction to Alexis and Tamra's recent remarks about letting go and being real, how she really feels about moving on from John Janssen, her process working through shame and guilt following the DUI, full circle accountability with Gina and where Shan has found true support systems in the cast, her relationship with alcohol (and herself), her live tour with Vicki (and the ways Vicki stepped up when she needed her most), Archie Beador, the People's Pet, and more. Sarah gets verklempt, obvs, but you knew that going in. This is the most important hour of Sarah's life, so please listen a couple times - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 563! Hashtag I Stan for Shan!

Time hills all, except for this insane tummy x non-COVID seasonal cough and fever sitch that has had Sarah in bed for days. Luckily, she's stopped en route to the pearly gates when her Uber Pool driver (Luis found work!) informs her that a blessed miracle hath occurred - an all-new AG recorded a day or so before she lost her voice, with her Bravoholic pal and pop culture artiste, Ryan Casey (aka DrunkDrawn). They discuss their highs, lows, and whoas of the Salt Lake City premiere, as well as, of course, Sarah's other SLC obsession, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives." Gird your loins but not those tithes, because this ep is worth every bit of attention plus 10% - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 592!

Sarah watches the Salt Lake City premiere and immediately Uber Pools to Shabbat, hoping to see a version of Angie K.'s ancient scrolls. Ancient history with Meredith, perhaps. But blessed all the way. Sarah realizes another day cannot continue without deep diving the RHOSLC premiere: a fascinating, intentionally reality-shattering beginning that no other franchise could handle let alone introduce, the joys of high stakes for the cast and low for the audience, Whitney's characterization of Lisa Barlow as "the villain" of the cast, Bronwyn's fascinating entry to the show, and why Heather is best served as adjacent to a center snowflake role. Sarah's watched the premiere four times, so only 700 more to go - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 591!

Sarah has a daydream that Eileen Davidson comes over to clean the cloffice, knocking on the door with the always professional salutation, "you beast?!" Undeterred by such an entry, she realizes the next best clean solution is her other beast - her Daily Beast editor, Kevin Fallon (editor of Daily Beast Obsessed, a pop culture website). They settle into the cloff for a Springsteen-themed deep dive: the glory days of Housewives, and how memory can serve as a reward or stranglehold, how franchises can/must move forward after losing key cast members (and the difference between OG departures on Beverly Hills and, potentially, Franklin Lakes), Andy and Nene's possible path to reconciliation, Bethenny's inherently contradictory turn away from the Bravo machine while continuing to lean in, Kevin's experiences interviewing Andy, and why "The Big Shot" is a swing and a miss. Sarah confidently proclaims this is episode 589, which is how you know it's not - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 590!

The journey continues. Sarah and guest co-host Rafi D'Angelo (creator and writer behind overpricedvodka.com) deep dive all things OC: revisiting "naked wasted," and how it might be received by 'current era' Bravo fans, Terry's history on "The Swan," Rafi's evolution on Shan, why Katie's version of events about Gina feels inherently flawed, Sarah's Shannon complex (including about the future of the pod), ongoing questions about Emily and Heather's relationship, and more. Gina and Nene are Housewife contemporaries - file that under things that absolutely make sense - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 589! Part 2!

Sarah has a doctor's appointment, to check her line of vision. The verdict? Perfect 20/20 when it comes to all things Shan. After reading an array of vowels and consonants in different sizes (much like Gina's meltdown, it's a tasting for all senses), she realizes a perfect kiki would be with her Bravoholic pal with a fascinating see-but-not-quite-seen Bravoholic strategy, Rafi D'Angelo (creator and writer behind overpricedvodka.com). They settle into the cloff for a wild two-parter that covers the universe of Housewives, and so much more. On part 1: their new reality TV obsession ("The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" on Hulu), whether the cast of New RHONY will be able to avoid a second-season curse (and which cast members they think are particularly susceptible), Jill Zarin's role in the future of RHONY Legacy (and Ally's proposal), the difference between LVP and Dorinda's spinoff management styles a la 'ladies of the manor,' whether RHONY will follow RHOSLC's direction on cast members' with cult-associations, whether the Salt Lake trailer is leaning in to last season's finale gotcha moment, and how to feel about Mary's return to a full-time role. Lisa Barlow did not lose any 60k diamonds while this episode was recorded, but it remains priceless, anyway - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 589! Part 1!

Next stop: Orange County! Sarah and her Bravoholic pal Jared Alexander (actor, entertainment writer, and contributor at Parade Magazine) continue their deep dive. On part 2: Alexis and Johnny J's wild, wild appearance on WWHL (and his truly bass ackwards PR approach), Katie, Heather, Tamra, and Gina's round of betrayal telephone, the importance of Heather's boundaries parenting on-and-off-reality TV, Alexis' victim complex about her own misdeeds, whether Tamra has good intent in her reactions against Shan (...lol?), Emily’s possible triggers with Heather, and Katie's continued growth. No esophagi were harmed in the recording of this episode, what a marked improvement from BH - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 588! Part 2!

Sarah watches Johnny J and Lexi's appearance on WWHL, and rides a rocket of hot air so high into space that she dances with some of her favorite stars (Andromeda, Bethenny Frankel Season 3, etc). Thankfully, she's brought back down to earth with a grounded return guest, someone who knows about all the Guardians in the Galaxy (Karen Huger, OG NY), Jared Alexander (actor, entertainment writer, and contributor at Parade Magazine). They settle into the cloff for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it two hour+ double ep. On part 1: they deep dive Potomac's possibly surprising return to form, the power of Karen and Gizelle's shared history, how to properly grieve OG RHONY, and Dr. Nicole's poignant (and hopefully temporary) exit announcement from Miami. Make new friends, but keep the old, this two parter is both silver and gold - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 588! Part 1!

The journey continues. Sarah and her Bravoholic pal Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, host of the podcast Pot Psychology, and creator of pipe dreams.fun) pick up where they left off. They discuss Shannon's decision to cover the costs of her lifestyle with Johnny J for at least the first half of her relationship, rumors that the "videos" include events inside and outside John's house, whether to believe Alexis' on-camera disapproval of John's lawsuit, Jen's legal case with her ex, and dandelion children of divorce. Alexis and John are on cloud nine, and this convo is a ten out of ten - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 587! Part 2!

As a part of her five step program of Shan Standom (renew, rejoice, revisit, revenge, renaissance tour), Sarah realizes she needs to take a moment to reflect. Reflect on her thoughts and feels, and challenge them. And who better to mention it all than one of her Bravoholic pals, Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, host of the podcast Pot Psychology, and creator of pipe dreams.fun). They discuss parenting on Housewives (and Heather’s decision to move her kids’ schooling from OC to LA), what happens when Tamra’s gut instinct isn’t in line with gut health (and an alternate view on Tam v. Shan), and what happens when some women’s instinct for diplomacy meets with the production expectation for conflict. This is a two parter, so buckle up - it’s Andy’s Girls, Episode 587! Part 1!

The journey continues. On this two-parter, Sarah and writer pal Tom Smyth unpack Tamra's Housewives role-play (and the missing pieces from her personal life, no, not about the kids), Vicki's shoot-from-the-hip ability to meet Tamra where she lives, the confusing timeframe seemingly suggested by Alexis and John, how the cast may re-set storyline positions at the reunion (and production's responsibility to 'share the wealth' when it comes to individual cast member pressure and strife, and what hitting bottom means on a show that seems laser focus on one cast member's emotional torture by an ex. Tamra might be in the hot seat with the audience and much of her cast, but lucky for her, it's not as scorching as that blue chemical peel that melted her face - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 586!

Sarah watches the newest OC and Tamra's face-melting IG stories and immediately puts out a 911 to America's support dog and spiritual healer, Archie Beador, for some urgent tail wagging in the cloff. Archie's intern (a rescue from Sonjarita) informs her that alas his paws are full at home (understandable), but has she tried a walk and talk with one of her Bravoholic pals instead? Thankfully, Sarah's writer girl pal Tom Smyth hears the call, and zips over to unpack all the devastating, wild details over the course of this two-part double episode: Tamra's Housewives role-play (and the missing pieces from her personal life, no, not about the kids), Vicki's shoot-from-the-hip ability to meet Tamra where she lives, the confusing timeframe seemingly suggested by Alexis and John, how the cast may re-set storyline positions at the reunion (and production's responsibility to 'share the wealth' when it comes to individual cast member pressure and strife, and what hitting bottom means on a show that seems laser focus on one cast member's emotional torture by an ex. It might be extortion, or blackmail, or just the sequel to Dirty John - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 586! Part 1!

Sarah re-watches the movie "E.T.," based on the true story of Shan stans who have finally, thanks to season 18, found home. Inspired by such a heartwarming message (Shan stans may appear otherworldly at first glance, but they deserve a happy ending too, no, not that kind), she Zooms up another ET star: Brice Sander, chief Housewives correspondent at Entertainment Tonight, aka the Housewife whisperer. They deep dive Brice's iconic recent interviews with members of the OC cast, the questions Brice wish he asked during his sit down with Alexis (and the questions she wouldn't - or couldn't - directly answer), Alexis and John's counter-productive strategy against Shan, Emily's vulnerability sharing why Jen's financial dependence triggered childhood trauma, the impact of Katie's ex-husband abandoning their daughter, Teddi Jo Carrot's Housewives cosplay, the joy of a Traitors themed game night that doesn't make sense, and whether Tamra's modern Housewives architecture is substituting rotted wood. Be wary of the ides of Rinna, for they conquer all - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 584!

Someone needs to tell Vera Wang that sleeveless is preferred. (Alexis Couture throwback, y'all!!) It's true: Alexis Bellino and John Janssen made it to month nine, and apparently the anniversary gift for 9 months is a rock. Not Gibraltar, or not just that. But a stone. Stone Philliips would've been preferred. Stone soup, even. But instead the world was gifted - nay, presented - with this definitely joyful happily-ever-after, shared by John's closest friends and family also known as People dot com. Sarah deep dives her thoughts and feels, how this will impact the upcoming reunion, John's record as a perfect partner focused on bliss, the heavy lifting that somehow seems to fall on his beloveds' shoulders, a misperception of the role and opportunity for Housewives' loves, and just a wee bit of Shan. If Jesus Jugs and Johnny J register for nine lemons and a bowl, the cloffice will riot - it's an Andy's Girls emergency, Episode 583!

Inspired after a week of Bravo excellence (that episode of Orange County, cast interviews about that episode of Orange County, melatonin-induced nightmares about going days without re-watching that episode of Orange County), Sarah realizes she simply must invite over a Bravoholic pal who knows how to break it all down: white board expert, content creator, and brand marketing strategist, Abbey Bonadies. They settle into the cloffice for a wide ranging kiki: Abbey's recent journey watching OC in its entirety for the very first time (and how that has impacted her opinion of current drama), Alexis' focus on 'justice' aka revenge, updated info about the video drop Alexis and John have pre-planned for the upcoming OC reunion (put it in your Google Cal/pretend to be surprised), nuanced takes about Tre and Melissa's relationships from a reasonable Tre Hugger (really!), a possibly hot take on the role of reality TV in their estrangement, and Teresa's future on and off the network. This ep was almost called Dumb and Dumberer, but Sarah was concerned Alexis wouldn't get the joke - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 582!

The journey continues. The (not-so-conspiracy-but-maybe) theories, too. Sarah and AG guest co-host Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (content creator and host of the pod "High & Low") continue their OC dive. They discuss Alexis' shocking reveal about that alleged video of Shan (and John's decision to keep quiet, aka, not), a timeline query that might impact a level of connection to Tamra during her chat with Shan, why Sarah wishes Tamra wore her "active listening" hat during her convo with Gina about identity and shame, BBDB's deep dive on Ryan's legal situation and how that may or may not impact Jen's future (....it may), and whether Katie's motivations match what Heather says is a "fan ID." It's almost sweater weather, but OC is hot as ever - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 581! Part 2!

Sarah survives a near-hit on her life (the OC trailer dropped, and she started hyperventilating). Thrilled with a new lease (don't tell the cloff), she celebrates another new day in paradise (a season of Orange County fully focused on Shan). So she Zooms up fellow OC enthusiast, her own personal LifeAlert, and Bravoholic BFF, Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (content creator and host of the pod "High & Low"). They celebrate their brand new niche NJ merchandise collaboration (links in bio! Two size options! Extra cackle with both!), and deep dive the inspo behind Send it To [email protected], what it means to be a Tam stan, Gina and Emily's stress release, and of course a back-and-forth on Bennifer. It's a to be continued that makes Bravo proud - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 581! Part 1!

Extra! Hey, extra! Hey, look at the headline! The two parter spectacular continues. Sarah and AG guest co-host Evan Real (host at Page Six, and cohost of Page Six's podcast "Virtual Reali-tea") continue their deep dive, and discuss clarity on how leaking stories to Page Six has changed from those glorious early days (shoutout RHONY S3), Ramona's firing remix, after Page Six posted a screenshot of racist texts, what Alexis is losing by not sharing a storyline focused on herself, an expectation of growth that may or may not be deserved, Sarah's sassy feedback to Tamra's recent viral interview with Evan, what RHOC could learn from Maya Angelou, and a shiva call for Bennifer.

Sarah finds out the news that Bennifer is over (again) aka love is dead, and immediately turns into a werewolf and howls at the moon. Thankfully, the moon responds, by sending stars into her DMs. So she invites one of her faves to the cloff: LA transplant making his triumphant return back to NYC, Evan Real (host at Page Six, and co-host of Page Six's pod "Virtual Reali-tea). On part 1 of this two parter, they discuss Evan's Andy Cohen esque transition from senior TV reporter to full-time talent, maintaining relationships with Bravolebs, and what happens when Erika Jayne felt Evan was not deferential enough to collab, the difference between access and alliance (and how one can lead to the appearance of the other), Larsa's Kardashian cosplay, how an audience silent majority impacts the ways franchises are cast (bcc RHONJ), and what Vicki shared about her decision to get plastic surgery, following on-camera shaming from Slade. This ep is a BOGO bonanza, so head on over to the remix now - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 580! Part 1!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Sarah rejoices in the prestige trailer drop of Salt Lake's upcoming season - one for the ages, blessed be the engaging - and celebrates with a hot cocoa in the icicle-cold cloff (it's still so hot in NYC, 'kinda like that NYC trailer, etc'). Sarah realizes her second round needs to be piping hot tea, so she invites over a Bravoholic pal ready to spill, Gibson Johns (host of the pod "Gabbing with Gib"). They deep dive the questions (and screams) from the SLC drop, how the women on Salt Lake use "the vault," the evolution/estrangements between Meredith and Lisa, Meredith and Mary, Heather and Whitney, and that unnamed 'arch nemesis,' questions about Rebecca Minkoff and whether the show will focus/address her....community sitch, Tamra's continued vendetta against Shan, John's time on iMovie themed around his obsession (punishing Shan), whether Emily has become more of a mean girl since becoming friends with Shan, and the curious pigeon edit in NY. Snowflakes are on the horizon, oranges are providing the freshest juice, and NY is up and coming - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 579!

It's time. Time to wrap up in the warmth of Stanbury's cool wit, throw on 15 foot platform stilettos like Ayan, pretend to be a model of humanity like Fake Dr. Sara, time to begin the second season of Real Housewives of Dubai. Sarah discusses her reasons for initially wanting to demote Dubai to friend-of on her DVR (and why she changed her mind), and reacts to the Season 2 premiere: Ayan's decision to continue/escalate her dramatic looks for filming (and potential pressure she might feel of constantly reaching for new heights, one that could be a distraction/challenge she doesn't need to undertake), Ayan's upset with "Dr." Sara about a "victimizing" narrative, why Ayan and Leesa's upcoming friendship fallout feels similar to Dallas' Brandi and Stephanie, Taleen's energetic entrance (and whether Brooks feels competitive or jealous of her friend's role on the show), and more. Sarah was promised Brooks and Fake Dr. Sara will flop hard, and she's flipping out with excitement - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 578!

After a wild few weeks of Bravo, Sarah realizes she needs a day to chill. So she prepares her preferred kiki - a seltzer spritz with sodium supplements mixed in, obvs - and settles into the People's People's Couch for a night in. But wait, there's an even better Kiki to enjoy - Sarah's Bravoholic pal, Kiki Monique (aka @TheTalkOfShame, host of Reality Checked on Radio Andy and Pop Crime on Betches Media). They hop on a Zoom and have an epic deep dive: Kiki's experience covering Tom Girardi's trial, Alexis and John's obsession with Shan (and their newest threat to publicly humiliate her further), Alexis' manipulation of her 'Christian faith' in order to fight, the ways John is now verging into NJ husbands levels of toxicity, Tamra's attempts to explain her behavior with Shan ("naked wasted," anyone?), and Heather's upset on behalf of her kids. Bravo may not be exactly like OnlyFans, but Ryan says not to tell Jen - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 577!

Sarah takes note of the raging temps outside (as hot as her love for Chris Manzo and Pedro Pascal) and realizes what she really needs in her life, in addition to SPF 900, is a cool-as-a-cucumber convo on the past, present, and future of Bravo TV/Housewives. And who better to discuss the impact of OG RHONY than New York Bravoholic Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined"). They settle into the cloff for a seltzer spritz, and discuss the challenges ahead for NJ's current cast, Jackie's new pod announcement (...lol?), Southern Charm's confusing decision to cut Olivia (upholding the cast patriarchy, not quite as big a shock), the difference between OG RHONY and current Housewives (external world vs. interior world), the ways storytelling used to be shaped by 'society,' which has been replaced on NY by influence/content creation, and Orange County's Crucible vibe. Katie may need to let the mouse go, aka that paparazzi text, and pick up this convo instead - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 576!

And they're back! On part 2 of this double episode extravaganza, Sarah and AG guest co-host Michael Arceneaux (New York Times bestselling author) unpack all things Orange County, with a dash of Atlanta and Dubai! They discuss Tamra vs. Tammy Sue, the difficulty of navigating a job in the 'real world' when it intersects with your gig on reality TV, assumptions about Jen's interest in financial independence (or at least, bettering her knowledge), the joy of watching Heather Dubrow in defense mode, Kenya's exit, and Caroline Brooks' insolence. No need to call the paps about this convo, because an audio file is worth a thousand pics, just don't tell Sarah's Hinge profile - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 575! Part 2!

Sarah sends an early co-pay for therapy, in advance of a NJ non-reunion reunion alternative spiel. It gave so little, and yet there is still more to say. A true miracle, indeed. Another miracle: a double episode with Sarah's Bravoholic pal, New York Times best-selling author, Michael Arceneaux (Jackie, take note). On part 1? NJ, obvs. Sarah and Michael discuss differing opinions on the toxicity scale for NJ husbands and wives, Dolo's perhaps subdued pushback about Luis' "suffering" diatribe, and Teresa's response, whether Tre has capacity for empathy outside of her immediate world, and how that compares with a sense of protectiveness, and why Michael feels Tre may be the key to NJ's future. It's Opposite Day, which explains Sarah typing that last convo point - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 575! Part 1!

It's off to Franklin Lakes! Sarah and AG guest co-host Erica Cobb (co-host of "Daily Blast Live," and NAACP Awards nominated host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb") discuss the not-special special episode of NJ that technically aired: the network's decision to wrap the season, and possibly much of its cast, not with a roar or a whimper but a dull 44 minutes of TV, Teresa's strong hold on Marg as enemy number one (and two, and three), what actually happened between Jackie and Melissa (no really, what happened), the ways Dolores' defense of Marg's child came into conflict with Teresa's delayed appreciation of empathy, and whether any of these people actually want to be friends (including, ya know, the audience). The Garden State left viewers in the weeds, just make sure poison ivy isn't nearby - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 574! Part 2!

Inspired by the non-reunion reunion alternative that technically aired on Sunday, Sarah sits in silence for an hour, watching an ant fight itself. A day's work is never done, so after telling said ant that Radar online says his S15 contract is in jeopardy, she heads to a day spa for some much needed zen. Who does she see in line at reception but someone who is always receptive to talking about NJ and OC, Erica Cobb (co-host of "Daily Blast Live," and NAACP Awards nominated host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb"). They check in with aliases - necessary when publicly discussing Marg v. Tre - and record a deep dive double ep. Part 1: Orange County! They unpack Alexis' impersonation of Shan, Tamra's use of alcoholism as a pejorative, Shannon's continued growth, Jennifer and Gina's fascinating battle, and more. Buckle up, because part 2 is ready, unlike RHONJ - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 574! Part 1!

Sarah realizes she's spent too much time on the metaphorical side of the highway (aka "dream real estate" for Jen Aydin), wondering what direction RHONJ will go after tonight's non-reunion Splenda alternative special ep. It's a convo reacting to an ep after all, so who better to bring some light than another recent episode star, straight from WWHL where she brought the house down with her heaven-sent Teresa impersonation, Andrea Lopez (comedian, impressionist, actress, and host of the pod Big Wigs). They settle into the cloff and unpack Andrea's time on WWHL, her relationship with Teresa as an impressionist and Bravoholic, Tre's journey on and off TV, and the impact of her new love, love, love, the complication positioning of NJ without a true reunion, Jen Aydin's (figurative) punching down, and of course, an exclusive interview with "Teresa Giudice." This convo may as well be the fifth dorter, because it's joined the AG family of all-time greats - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 573!

The journey continues: and this time, Sarah and AG guest co-host Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches, aka SBBD) are talking Salt Lake City/Franklin Lakes. They unpack Sarah's theory around why Jackie's reveal wasn't leaked before the finale aired (and how that compares with SLC), Teresa and Luis' love, love, love, how to discuss Luis' possible influence on Tre's behavior without removing her own agency/accountability, the difficulty in trying to counter conspiracy theorists with facts, whether Jackie and Teresa's friendship will last, how to discuss a possible cast cull (amid very strategic 'ruhmorz' and nastiness on social), the network's seeming indifference/passive accountability toward a franchise that has become centered around going way too far, and which cast members Dylan would like to keep around. Just a casual convo with eviscerating takes on the single most toxic Bravo franchise and fandom, so this should be received well - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 572! Part 2!

It's a rainy, stormy Friday. Or as Edgar Allan Poe called it, the perfect time to talk about Tam. Sarah dances in the rain because life, ammiright, when she spots her fave partner in storm chasing, and general sass, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches, aka SBBD). They dry off with humor (Sarah's fave), and settle into the cloff for a two part episode that does anything but. Part 1: Orange County! They discuss Alexis' PR skill set (less skill, more set) around defending 'her' reputation as John's girlfriend, Tamra's calculation around shaming Shan, Emily and Gina's continued growth as Housewives and human people, Gina's spot-on analysis/accountability on what she owes Katie (and Katie's perhaps miscalculated initiation to the group), whether Vicki should be promoted from cameo-plus to friend-of/full time, and more. Who needs one episode, when you can have two - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 572! Part 1!

An unfortunate side effect of melatonin is wild nightmares, which would explain some of the behaviors Sarah "3 mg for beddy bye" wishes she dreamt up coming from the RHONJ cast. Alas, so much of it is real, so Sarah puts on her jammies (the pattern: Chris Manzo throwing ham against a fridge), and deep dives more on the RHONJ finale: Andy's thoughts on *that* scene about suffering, translating Luis' apology (TLDR: blame Marg), the difficulties around nuance and projection when it comes to Housewives commentary (and fandom), Jen's obsession with weaponizing bodies and gender politics, and Jackie's "friendship" theatre. Another midnight recording, just call this pillow talk - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 571!

It's finally here. Our national nightmare is almost over - but not before a few well-deserved gasps. Sarah celebrates the RHONJ finale by going to Crate and Barrel to buy a glass pitcher, since it's missing from the finale edit. She pours herself a tall glass of water (the thirst from some cast members is contagious), and deep dives initial finale reactions: the ways loyalty and ethics intersect on RHONJ (often in diametric opposition to an alleged 'above-line' ethos), Dolores and Marg's fight about the "summit" descriptor and invite (and how that scene compares to Dolo's more subdued reactions involving Tre/Luis), Jackie's shocking reveal and possible Depends sponsorship, breaking down the timeline of Teresa's allegations (updated on the RHONJ after show!) against Marg and Melissa, and what it means to have cast members want families of Housewives to suffer. Bo Dietl hasn't made a dossier about this deep dive, but that's just because he's, ya know, in no way associated with the show and cast etc etc lol - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 570!

The journey continues. Sarah and guest co-host Louis Peitzman (Housewives writer and culture commentator) continue their deep dive on Orange County, Tamra, and Shan, and the breaking news announcement (caught in the cloff!) about Dorinda’s in-development spinoff, before putting on some hazmat suits to talk Franklin Lakes. They discuss the network's confusing edit/strategy around the RHONJ finale and reunion video night thing, how to move forward if anyone currently in the cast remains, the Luis pickle, which Housewife husband they think is number 1, Marg's update on Joe B.'s health, and yes, some positive thinking about the future of the franchise. The reunion may not be happening, so thank god for a couple of energetic rants - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 569! Part 2!

Sarah draws a Venn diagram of good TV, Bravo viewers, and everything but RHONJ, and sighs with delight. It's been a journey, these last few months on Bravo. And Sarah can see the light. It's so sunny, in fact, that after applying SPF 9 bajillion, she invites over another ray of sunshine, Housewives writer and culture commentator Louis Peitzman, for a brief mini 2.5hr episode. On part 1, they discuss Sarah's status update on Dubai (and Louis' mixed feelings about the season), and of course the continued triumph that is Orange County: Katie's fascinating decision to take on Heather Dubrow (and what defines a proper 'receipt' vs. screenshot), how Tamra may be feeling about the audience reaction to her behavior this season, choosing to side with Alexis/John Janssen as a form of punishment/revenge, Teddi Jo Carrot, and more. It's not about the destination but the ride, and this one lasts a couple min - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 569! Part 1!

Well, the cat's outta the bag. And a squirrel immediately said, I'm not a cat and this isn't a bag. After watching Teresa's shocking reveal that - oh my god - things and stuff, Sarah decides to quickly attend law school and adjudicate whatever she allegedly witnessed in an episode of The People's People's Court. She unpacks Teresa and Jim/James "my law firm has a website and it's exactly what you'd expect" Leonard's narratives around Marg, line crossing, and Luis' gag order (minus the order), Luis' absolutely not-rehearsed choice to film a devotional toward Teresa, and its similarity to that beach video which has allegedly brought him much undue shame and embarrassment, Teresa's stress levels before going to prison vs. this current chapter in her marriage, Dolo's strategic 8-second delay, and what all of this means for next week's 'shocking' finale ep. Bo Dietl may have been asked to conduct a smear campaign, but that's nothing compared to a bouquet - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 568!

Sarah welcomes back Bravoholic and content creator Christine Biancavilla to discuss the gold medal television event of the summer, Love Island USA. They discuss the show as an accelerated social experiment, their different journeys watching the season and how delayed viewing impacted Sarah's perspective of the finale ranking, the moment Sarah is stricken from society forever (any time she mentions Rob), Kaylor's response to Aaron's mega-viral IG story, Kenny, the people's Elliot Grainge, Kendall as an example of 'respecting villains' (they give good TV, and PS this is also another moment when Sarah is cancelled), America's Sweethearts also known as PPG, when 'coupling up' brings with it the promise of post-show celebrity and cash (but only if the couple is in audience favor), and what production owes Leah at the reunion (unseen footage! Please!).

The journey continues. If part 1 was about the darkness in NJ, let OC bring in the light. Sarah and Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (content creator and host of the pod "High & Low," also known as BBDB) deep dive the Biscuit birther movement, Alexis and John's remix of John's milestones with Shan, the future of Tamra and Shan, Gina and Jen's argument (and news about another lawsuit Jen is settling over past due rent), and how a person's projections around Emily's fitness journey can make an already complicated conversation even more layered. It's another double episode, can Archie Beador please take Johnny J for a walk - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 567, part 2!

Sarah barely sleeps, tossing and turning over the future of Franklin Lakes. She sets an alarm (for the future of RHONJ, obvs), and realizes the best/only wake up call is a double episode therapy sesh with her fave spiritual counselor, Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (content creator and host of the pod "High & Low," also known to AGs as BBDB). They settle in for Zoom therapy, where they discuss Teresa's recent statement about toxicity in the Bravo community and whether she will send that to her husband and publicist/attorney, recent history of kids being targeted as a means of getting at their moms, how Luis' legal situation may be affecting his marriage, and why the network seems to be hiding. Sarah's an Aries, if her hot air-turned-fire wasn't already clear - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 567, part 1!

After a wild week of ups and downs (HW's in the cloff! Final Destination comes for the Dame!), Sarah returns to her place of security, sparkles, and sass, the cloffice. It's a hilling journey, where she deep dives the underlying tension during Gina and Jen's “Big Little Lies”-style coffee shop showdown, how Jen views support systems/independence (it's never too late!), Shannon's conversation with Heather about Alexis/alliances, Gina and Emily's empathy and connection with Shay, Sarah's reticence over current and upcoming storylines focused on Louis (no counter? no....problem?), Jackie's decision not to tell Marg and Melissa about her kiddo's bat mitzvah (a friendship circle Google Cal), and more. Tell Devon Sawa this episode is meant for him - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 566!

Sarah is joined by AG guest cohost Christine Biancavilla to discuss the complicated, fascinating, addictive series "America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders." They discuss Sarah's journey catching up on Love Island USA, and then all things DCC: the ways Netflix has opened up a more complicated narrative of joining DCC vs. the earlier iteration on CMT, a purity test that Charlotte and Cowboys leadership have applied to the cheerleaders (and seemingly no one else), Victoria's relationship with her mom, teammates, and herself, the risk involved with being a part of the DCC (body dysmorphic language, personal safety concerns, financial instability), and the power of sisterhood (meaning Christine and Sarah going to drinks with Victoria, hopefully).

In the land before time, there lived a girl, a natural blonde who stockpiled wit and 5-inch heels. She was a young girl, so very young, who yearned - nay, dreamed - that one day her OC interview wishes might come true. But in the meantime, per Rupert Everett in My Best Friend's Wedding, she danced. Let this episode be a lesson to all burgeoning dreamers: you may make a joke about one day recording with your number one dream girl, and then *hours later,* get that call. Yes, that's right, this epic, extra zesty deep dive with Sarah's pal, content creator and Bravoholic Christine Biancavilla, was recorded Friday afternoon, hours before Sarah found out Shan would be coming over for a chat. Let's call this period of history B.S., Before Shan. And during this wild and sometimes chaotic convo (a cloffice fave), Sarah and Christine discuss the sunny delight that is Orange County season 18, Alexis' not-so quiet luxury, Gina's comic masterclass confessionals (on CC), Sarah's comparison of Johnny J with a certain terrible fast food chain whose meals haunt her daily, Christine's obsessions with a RHONY you will not guess correctly (you won't), how to problem solve finding a Bravoholic community when one's alleged "loved ones" refuse to watch (for shame!), Harry Dubin, cause, ya know, and more. This episode is brought to you by "The Secret," because bishes be manifesting and also cray - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 564! Dream big!

Well it's official, Sarah has seen the face of God. And her name is Shan. In the most important moment of world history since dinosaurs said "hey what's that in the sky, does someone hear a booming noise or whatever," the light of Sarah's life, the twinkle in her eye, her spiritual Housewife forever and ever amen, came to the cloffice, and they had a lil chat. That's right, Shannon Beador is here, so now Sarah can never move out of her apartment. And PS, this was a convo for the ages. They discuss Shannon's journey on and off Bravo TV, her reaction to Alexis and Tamra's recent remarks about letting go and being real, how she really feels about moving on from John Janssen, her process working through shame and guilt following the DUI, full circle accountability with Gina and where Shan has found true support systems in the cast, her relationship with alcohol (and herself), her live tour with Vicki (and the ways Vicki stepped up when she needed her most), Archie Beador, the People's Pet, and more. Sarah gets verklempt, obvs, but you knew that going in. This is the most important hour of Sarah's life, so please listen a couple times - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 563! Hashtag I Stan for Shan!
Tickets for Shannon and Vicki Live in NYC, this Wednesday! (Sarah will be there!): https://citywinery.com/new-york-city/events/shannon-and-vicki-live-as-seen-on-the-real-house-lh46ua

Sarah curls up in a People's People's Couch-shaped cloud, somewhere in the sky above (the RHOC premiere was heaven-sent, after all). She shoots a Cupid's Arrow in Pedro Pascal's direction (what, can't folks multitask), and floats back down to earth, for another kind of other-worldly destination: a deep dive of all things Housewives with angel, actor, and entertainment writer, Jared Alexander. They discuss chaos agents across franchises, rumors about Phaedra's return to RHOA, connections between Kenya, codes of conduct, and Franklin Lakes, possible resentments Tamra may have about carrying too much during her friendship with Shannon (bcc: Emily and Gina, nodding their heads), Heather Dubrow's best work (showing money, good parenting, and a fighting spirit now and again), and Alexis' full time job, marketing Johnny J John. Orange County is truly back, and it's like no time has passed at all (so let's spend extra time deep diving the gals) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 562!

Sarah's mom, The Tobes, used to bike the Century Ride, a 100 mile annual bike ride through New England. And today that century ride stayed in the family, as Sarah unpacks the 100th season of a Housewives franchise, thanks to those goddesses in Orange County. And there's a lot to say about RHOC: Shannon's fragility and strength following her DUI, Alexis' positioning as New Woman At War, Gina's decision to consciously uncouple from living with Travis (while remaining a couple), Sophia and Tamra's on-camera dynamics, and yes, oh lord, Johnny J. RHOC is back, and not a minute too soon - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 561!

Sarah tells her friend-of Alexa to play Coldplay's "Fix You" on a loop, and continues her journey discussing OC. She responds to AG questions about OC season 15 through now, including what Alexis' return to the cast means for Shan, where Elizabeth fits on the list of OC one season wonders, Sarah's history loving/connecting with Shan (and what the upcoming season looks like for her), a spiritual timer in discussing Shan and John's relationship (different from secrets revealed), how Gina may react to Shan's DUI, Jen and Ryan's engagement, and Sarah's abundant joy in prepping for the season 18 premiere. Now that season 15 is *truly* done, it is time for a blessed new beginning - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 560! P2!

Concerned with the state of the world and also cloffice, Sarah runs to her makeshift bunker (what, it's a two bedroom) where she hunkers down and continues an urgent conversation about a season that began airing *four years prior.* She unpacks unresolved Elizabeth's traumatizing childhood/escape from her family's religious cult and her own reaction to a difficult and complicated storyline, what ultimately happened between Matt and Gina post-reunion, Shan and John's continued chaos, the exhausting effort of remembering Season 15 Kell, and more. On part two, Sarah answers AG questions about Orange County then and now - but first, this is Andy's Girls, Episode 560! P1!

One small step for man, one giant step back for mankind. Sarah, finally, blessedly, reaches the denouement of RHOC S15 (excepting the likelihood of a PS follow-up ep, because, ya know, Elizabeth). She reacts to an epic binge (11 episodes that lasted an eternity), and discusses how a likability index led to Braunwyn and Kelly's departures (that, and ya know, a DVR), Gina and Emily's high-stakes seasons and growth, Elizabeth's Sonja Morgan-esque focus on her divorce, Shannon and John's not so happily-ever-after, and yes, rumors about Phaedra's possible return to Atlanta Housewives which Sarah finds out mid-ep. This ep covers past, present, and future, what a gift - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 559!

For whom much is given, much will be required. And with OC's much-anticipated season 18 premiere only days away, Sarah puts her OC S15 discovery zone back on the map, as she deep dives eps 2-5. Turns out, there's a lot to discuss: Braunwyn and Sean's Alex and Simon energy (with apologies to the van Kempens), Shan's not quite real for real happily ever after narrative with John Janssen (and Sophie's astute confessional about their dynamics), Gina's discomfort with Sean's text (and Braunwyn's forceful denial of Gina's feelings), some possibly-surprising feelings about Elizabeth, and Braunwyn's decision to film this season mere days after going sober. Sean and Braunwyn's upcoming vow renewal may not have gone great, but Sarah's vow to watch S15 has been renewed - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 558!

Mazel of the Day, Lindsay Hubbard! After hearing that the Summer House star is pregnant (via a Clear Blue sponsored post, natch), and speeds to her childhood bedroom (not quite the cloff, but ya know) to record an emergency OMG ep. She discusses Lindsay's journey to motherhood on and off Summer House, comparisons to Kenya Moore and a shared hilling journey, Paige's wise counsel about "making room," how this news will impact filming and Lindsay's relationships with the cast (and reasons behind the surprising holiday PM filming), Carl and Lindsay's future as colleagues, and of course, how Kyle might center himself.

Happy Independence Day! To, ya know, some people! Sarah celebrates this wonderful and always joyous and certainly not personally devastating holiday the best way she knows how, by catching up on those delightful, dramatic ladies in Franklin Lakes. She takes a plank position (ok, child's pose), and mentions it all: updates on the alleged "reunion alternative" for the split cast, Jen and Danielle's war over words (and punches, natch), Dolo's agreement to work with Paul in business and what that means for her dreams to be married, how Danielle and Joe have been navigating estranged family dynamics, and the moment that Sarah felt was too sensitive for reality TV (perhaps, all the more reason to air it). And, yes, what today means for Sarah’s family. The safest dive you can take is listening to this convo instead - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 556!

Sarah wakes up suddenly, after having a terrifying nightmare (Chris Manzo marries anyone else but her). Dehydrated and confused by such a shocking thought, she immediately Zooms up her fave vegan GF chicken soup for the soul, and one of her Bravoholic besties, content creator and host of the pod "High & Low, Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They light Sarah's Pedro Pascal prayer candle, and unpack updates on Million Dollar Listing memories, Kenya's RHOA exit, and the future of RHONJ, as well as friendship norms on and off Bravo, Jackie and Marg's (and Jackie and Dolo, and Jackie and Meliss) friendship fallout, behind the scenes limbo about the rumored NJ reunion swap, and a truly unfortunate (and possibly dead on) comparison between Jackie and a certain former Beverly Hills Housewife. Life is like a bowl of carrots, you never know who's gonna shame you for eating orange pencil vitamins, so tell them to STFU - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 555!

On part two of this two part extravaganza, Sarah and AG guest co-host Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined") deep dive all things Franklin Lakes. Or should we say, Tulum/Padam. Among what's discussed: Jen Aydin's Carmen Sandiego exit activity, Jackie's struggle to navigate her position whilst arguing it's based on a purity test, Bravo's uneven use of its "code of conduct," Jen and Danielle's standards for charity and friendship, and Bill Aydin's 10-second delay.

Sarah searches her heart and spirit and tum, and realizes that even though she just had an endoscopy/colonscopy at Lenox Hill, there's still some more she needs to uncover from within - aka, a couple more thoughts on Summer House. So she calls up NYC Public Pools HQ, and asks for her fave lifesaver, Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined"). They tape a Baywatch-themed poster of Pedro Pascal on the cloffice wall, and discuss Danielle's just-announced exit from Summer House (it's was "her choice," "her decision," "her call,"), Andy's recent explanations to viewer critique of the reunion, West, a true NYC fella, and of course, Lindsay v. Carl. This summer is bringing the heat, and not just because of this convo - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 553! Part 2 out tomorrow!

Sarah finds out that Kenya's exit from The Real Housewives of Atlanta is confirmed, following a series of wild AF reports surrounding filming for Season 16. She immediately sits shiva for the absolute missed opportunity of Kenya and Porsha united together, and deep dives all of the rumors, allegations, and inherent truths surrounding what has allegedly occurred: conflicting news reports about the NSFW imagery shown during filming, Bravo's uneven history around accountability for bad behavior, a code of conduct at the center of this current storm, Kenya's alleged threat to litigate what transpired including questions about safety (what's that about a gun?), and yes, even a reading of Georgia state law. No stone has been left unturned, from Moore Manor to Franklin Lakes - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 552!

Sarah is joined by her pal, Bravoholic and writer Tom Smyth, to deep dive the Celine Dion documentary film "I Am: Celine Dion," out today on Prime Video. They unpack their experiences at the world premiere (joined by, you guessed it, Celine Dion!), Celine's day to day living with stiff person syndrome, what the film gets right about chronic illnesses and the difficulty of maintaining hope, missed opportunities around narrative/context, Celine's struggle to continue performing without overstimulation/episodes, and the ways she is able to seek and create joy.

Sarah hops in an orange-scented DeLorean, and goes back to the future: a final, long needed, now quasi-required, watch of RHOC Season 15. She unpacks the season 15 premiere episode, after watching it for the very first time: Emily and Shane's relationship progress (surviving the filming of reality TV and the difficulties navigating chronic pain), the ways Braunwyn used alcohol as a coping mechanism for feeling abandoned as a child (and how that impacts some of her parenting decisions as an adult), Gina's process co-parenting with Matt after his arrest for domestic violence, and what Elizabeth Vargas and Mary Cosby have in common. Just in time for Season 18, Sarah is one step forever to her former OC completionist record - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 551!

Inspired by Jackie's friendship contract 180, Sarah mails a BFF bracelet to Alexis Bellino. After the postmaster reminds her "Dame, this isn't you. Send it to Archie Beador instead," and realizing NJ delivered an ep that had a lot to say, she delivers the best kind of love letter - a deep dive with her Bravoholic pal, spiritual writer girl (with credits including Vulture, Vogue, and the LA Times, among others), Tom Smyth. They settle into the cloff and discuss strategizing job security over history/lessons learned, whether or not Louie has changed vs. inspired Teresa's on-off-camera behavior, Andy's latest remarks on the future of the NJ cast, the fascinating tension behind Jackie and Jen Fessler, the disappearance of Jennifer Aydin, former star, the lack of electricity (LOL) between Paulie and actually finalizing his divorce, and the difference between sloppy and slob. Jackie may have short and long term memory loss, but this convo is front of mind - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 550!

Sarah is currently on a plane of existence as far yet unknown to Neil deGrasse Tyson - she’s saying hi to George Clooney a la Gravity, good to almost meet you Jlo in that weird new AI robot thing, and oh look, the moon and stars above also known as a world where Summer House plays 24/7. After recording a deep dive in her mind, she decides to also take to the mic, with her Bravoholic bestie, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They deep dive Lindsay’s PR strategy a la “A Beautiful Mind,” Kyle’s lead role in Lindsay and Carl’s relationship, what did production know/assume about the pick-up in filming, the lack of bloat in a 2-part edit that also missed many key storylines throughout the season (including Lindsay vs. Carl), how sexuality has been handled - and sometimes, weaponized - on Bravo and online, and why having those convos as a pejorative or without said cast member’s participation is not a “mention it all” opp. This season of Summer House will live on forever, and so will Sarah’s thoughts on Kyle - it’s Andy’s Girls, Episode 549!

Sarah watches RHONJ and immediately reverts to child's pose (Namaste? Go Away). She realizes the tense energy from NJ has carried through IRL, and realizes the best way to cool down the heat is the very chill Sweet Baby Dyl, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They decamp to the cloffice, and immediately mention it all: escalating Bravoleb boundary-crossing seemingly without production or network intervention, and what that energy means for the future of Housewives/Bravo, casting wishes for a rebooted franchise (including Dylan’s probably-surprising cast pick), forced selective memory loss around last season’s reunion (and this season’s present social media), Dolores and Paulie’s tense conversation around marriage, and why RHONJ needs to watch “Kindergarten Cop.” Danielle walked on fashion week, and after that last scene, Sarah is ready to run - it’s Andy’s Girls, Episode 548!

Summer, summer, summerrrtiiiiime. Sarah watches the Summer House reunion's grand finale (completely unacceptable it wasn't at least 17 eps), and runs to send production a jackhole of the day award for some of the narrative expressed. And, ya know, some good stuff. She mentions it all: a confoundingly consistent male gaze over women on Summer House (and VPR) that takes the majority-women audience for granted (#representationmatters when actually formulating the Qs asked, as well as what's edited), Kyle's inconsistent rage against Lindsay (a re-direct away from himself?), Amanda's openness about her struggles with anxiety and depression, a lack of depth around Lindsay that's more than afforded to Carl, Danielle, future YouTube viral sensation, and the problem with applying the Sandoval Scale on West. What would Jesse Solomon do? Say: it's Andy's Girls, Episode 547!

Sarah puts out the #writergirl bat call, after reading a thinly disguised anon quote from Carole about Andy in New York Magazine. Her dream team assembles on Zoom, bts tea in hand: Kate Aurthur (Variety's editor-at-large) and Louis Staples (writer and Housewives anthropologist). They stretch their writer/analysis muscles, tell Aviva's ghostwriter she's not needed, and deep dive into all things VPR, The Valley, and Summer House. It's a true mention it all: inside scoop following Kate's moderation of a Variety reality TV panel (with Alex Baskin, natch), which Pump Rules star made the surprising decision to decline a Variety interview (...), the impact of podcast pollution on VPR's ecosystem, why The Valley serves as a helpful form of birth control (and the joys of staying single vs. being married to Jax), confirmation from Kate about what really happened between Janet and Zack after finale cameras went down, and, of course, some feedback on Ciara and West. The Scandoval era may be winding down, but this convo is just getting started - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 546!

Sarah watches the OC trailer and immediately books an Uber Pool to the moon (what better location to dance with franchise stars, especially with BravoCon 2024's location confirmed as "your heart"). Deflated a bit by some of the stressors in Franklin Lakes, she takes a Via back to earth, thankful for a *two-hour* double episode with one of her absolute fave Bravoholic voices: writer Rafi D'Angelo (overpricedvodka.com). They settle in for a wild and winding agent-of-chaos two-parter ep: an alternate universe in which Alexis doesn't date Shan's ex, the instinctive right choice of casting OC newbie Katie, a possibly surprising choice of who should remain on RHONJ following a likely cast cull, the difficulty of relying on a “by any means necessary” ethos as Bravoholics (and at the polls), the importance of being able to tolerate discomfort, who is truly the impediment to plot on NJ, Jackie's choices with Tre and Jen vs. Marg and Meliss, and ya know, the joy of a TV screen that fills the room and spirit. And, yes, Bethenny v Chanel. Louis may not love this episode, maybe he just needs to take a different kind of walk - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 545, Part 2!

Sarah watches part 1 of the Summer House reunion, and runs to the cloffice to record a triage-style ep with such haste that she nearly falls over the desk. Undeterred by such small inconveniences, she focuses on the big picture: shocking new details about West and Ciara's post-filming situationship, petty puppetry (who is Geppetto in West's narrative? the audience?), good guy cosplay, Paige DeSorbo, girl's girl, Danielle's part time gig as the president and CEO of leaking ish, Captain Lee's issue with Carl, and the difficulty with understand Carl's narrative around "staying together" with Lindsay, when the timeline/talk points elsewhere. What would Jesse Solomon do - insert himself in a convo when he should've stayed quiet - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 544! Girls rule.

Sarah hears about Frank's proposal to Dolo, and immediate takes a Benadryl (random mall diamonds and wind up toys? This is a crisis). Luckily, inspiration comes in many forms, and this week's NJ is no exception. She unpacks some nuanced forms of escapism when it comes to NJ's family matters, production's season goals (survival?), Jackie's promise ring of 'truth' to Teresa and Jen, Melissa and Danielle’s convo about family and possible regret, and Teresa's anger delay. Don't spell napalm unless you've mastered ingredientses first - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 543!

Sarah volunteers to join Dolo's charity softball league (listen, if "Dr." Sara can use a title she doesn't deserve, then Sarah is a neurosurgeon). Undeterred after Dolo demures, she hits a home run (or at least day dreams about a certain RHONJ son and, ahem, second base), with a RHONJ deep dive catch-up: an evolving opinion on book gate, the importance of validating grief, Danielle's family fracture, the impact of Tre vs. Joe and Melissa for the kids, Rachel and Fessler's convo about Teresa (and how the cast is attempting to navigate "do not film with her/them"), and more. Little did Sarah know, the RHONJ reunion would be cancelled within hours of this recording (so thank god for the emergency ep, also up now) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 542!

Breaking news from Bravo HQ (cough cough "sources" cough cough) - the RHONJ reunion is off, with an alleged alternate arrangement TBD. Sarah reacts to the breaking news that the RHONJ reunion has been demoted to friend-of. She shares the specifics about what those "sources" said, the future of RHONJ surely facing at *least* a massive cull, comparisons to the decision around RHONY S13, what "doing my job" actually means (bcc: Lala, who's obviously confused), and who is likely on the chopping block (everyone but one?). Perhaps someone attempted to bring sprinkle cookies to set - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 541!

Sarah takes a silent drive with Carl from the Summer House. After realizing her cackle was being secretly recorded (very Jill Zarin coded, tbh), she realizes the best way to bring truth to light is mentioning it all. So Sarah power walks back to the cloff, where she unpacks the ups, downs, and yes, LOLs from tonight's intense finale ep, Carl's repositioning of his "chic c'est la vie" sit down with Linds, some Ariana-coded energy in Lindsay's girl code scene, a misinterpretation of what partnership should look and feel like, and why "giving up" is the best possible win. How many sandwiches have you made for me lately, Something About Her (I hope it's a dozen) - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 540!

Lord, lord, lord. Sarah watches the Vanderpump Rules reunion P3, and finds a safe space in which to unpack what she allegedly witnessed (the cloffice, natch). She deep dives her triage-style thoughts: Lala and Scheana's spiritual 1099, the impasse of breaking the fourth wall vs. displaying any interest in remaining friends, Lala Kent, lean, mean, fighting machine, the finale gotcha moment that landed with a thud, a lack of respect for Ariana's upset, and how the show moves forward after this. Pray for Jeremiah's DMs, and whatever's left of VPR - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 539!

The journey continues. And they're off to Franklin Lakes. On part 2 of this two part Sassafrass Spectacular, Sarah and Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo deep dive all things RHONJ. They discuss Teresa and Louis' love match, the difficulty of bypassing 'that' phone call without more information, Jen Fessler's friend/friend-of energy, Paulie's proposal sass, and a more relaxed tenor to the franchise. Don't be fooled by the rocks that he got - because they may be fraudulent Cartier - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 538! P2!

Sarah jumps into her Back to the Future style Uber Pool Lyft Line, and takes a little journey to the early aughts. On part 1 of this two part Sassafrass Spectacular, she debates all things Bennifer now and then, with one of her fave truth tellers: content creator and host of the pod "High & Low," Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They discuss the evolution (or not) of all things Jen and Ben, the impact of her not quite creative or financial success on Prime, and whether or not they would choose a bear in the woods...or Sandoval. Who doesn't love a surprise two episode drop (esp when P2 is all about RHONJ) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 538! P1!

Sarah watches part 2 of the Pump Rules reunion, and listens to latest update cast pods, and realizes, dear lord, for an episode that wasn't great, there's still some ish to say. So she discusses Kristen and Schwartz' latest feels about Jo (and a SATC-era book someone should Prime her, stat), Lala's version - and vision - of "truth" on and off TV, Scheana's upset about an audience/Ariana perspective that challenges her record of loyalty, and the show's inconsistent appraisal of rage (girls can't be mad! That's boy's work).

Sarah takes a break from watching La La Land (the VPR reunion cycle), and takes a little visit to Franklin Lakes. Remember that show, RHONJ? The one that is currently airing, right now? She has, spoiler alert, a couple things to say: Jen Fessler's reasoning for maintaining a cordial relationship with Tre (a seedling has been planted, Tre Huggers), the differences in how Marg and Rachel express upset about her disloyalty, manila folders on RHONJ vs. Miami, Danielle's active listening, and the Giudice girls' growth. Gabriella is an all-star student (and Sarah once passed math) but the Louie energy isn't adding up - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 537!

Talk about Taking It Personally. Buckle up. Sarah unpacks the latest Summer House: the baggage Carl refuses to carry (Lindsay's and his own), Kyle's upset about Amanda's...hopes and dreams, Paige and Ciara's continued girl coded Excellence In Friendship awards, West's Thanksgiving offer (a turkey), why, Danielle, and more.

Sarah is joined by her Bravoholic pal, New York Times bestselling author Michael Arceneaux, to deep dive The Valley. They mention it all: Janet's delightful villain energy, Brittany's Sisyphean task (staying married to Jax), Kristen and Luke's journey to expanding their family while perhaps creating a foundation for their relationship, Janet's unsettling accusations against Kristen and Zack, Jesse's unraveling, and the Hollywood glimmer in Michelle's eye. And oh yes, Sarah and Michael's reactions to the Atlanta cast announcement (lol).

Sarah unpacks P1 of the VPR reunion. And let's just say, she is *pumped* to mention it all: Tom's now vs. then reframe of his controversial remarks to the NYT, Katie and Lala's fight about "reality" and reality TV, Ariana's decision to not watch this season (and how that will impact her strategically and otherwise), and what "at peace" means for Sandoval's mom.

They discuss Carl and Lindsay's love language (not communicating effectively), what Carl is missing about having a romantic partner (she's not a second mom), Amanda and Kyle's blowup over her interest in also having goals and dreams (how dare!), Jesse's vulnerability in sharing fears over his health, and whether Paige and Craig are destined for a happily ever after (ie, a wedding spinoff).

Sarah pulls out her back (sympathy pains after watching Ariana and Katie carry VPR). After taking a muscle relaxer (an IG reel of Shannon giggling, obvs), she realizes the best medicine is deep diving all things NJ with the Tre Hugger to her Gorgita Crunch, Abbey Bonadies (content creator and brand marketing strategist). They grab spots on the People's People's Couch, and discuss RHONJ's current cast stalemate, the difficulty of talking about RHONJ teams through a purity test, some spiritual similarities between Jen Fessler and Scheana, whether Teresa and Louie's love bubble will ever burst, and Joe's missing family (not Tre). Nonno need to make 4am octopus, this convo is a full dish - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 536!

Sarah Uber Pools to Satriale's to pick up a RHONJ premiere watch nosh: the best vegan GF a gal can find in the land of Sopranos and baritones. After being laughed out of Tony’s HQ and Bada-Bing (so, no green juice then?) she drives immediately to Peacock to triple watch the premiere ep. Miraculously, after a few days of reflection and a few dozen rewatches, she has a few things to discuss: the impact of current online rumors about Jen Aydin and Teresa on premiere episode plot about John Fuda, possible reasons for Jackie's switching sides, Rachel's consistency as a solidified Housewife, a Housewives kids support system (peer-to-peer), which hopefully includes the RHONJ cousins, Marg's grieving over Jan, and more. Pay attention, please - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 535!

Sarah hears the news about Dorit and PK's separation (in Celine, natch), and rushes to the cloff to record an emergency ep: what this news means for the show, their reported (everywhere but Bravo) debts, Dorit's estranged friendship with Kyle, and the breaking news that Andy has been cleared by an outside investigation over allegations made by Leah McSweeney and Brandi Glanville (and what their lawyers said in response), and his latest thoughts on the reality reckoning. There is no accent on love in this deep dive - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 534!

Sarah is back from a weekend in Paris, spent looking for Chris Manzo and Pedro Pascal (it's the city of love after all). Moments before a shelf in the cloff collapses, she's joined by her Bravoholic pal, Gibson Johns (host of the pod, "Gabbing with Gib"). They deep dive the Vanderpump Rules finale: a "Jinx"-ian energy to that shock finale moment, what Lala is getting right and wrong (mostly the latter) about reconciling being on a show with a toxic ex, Tom Sandoval's performative regret, Scheana's upset over feeling she needs to choose between Ariana and Tom, why Jo is better served off camera with her bestie Rachel, Ariana's future on Pump Rules, whether Schwartz is conscious of his f**k boy choices, and the annointing of Katie Maloney, a friend's friend.

Sarah is once again joined by her Bravoholic pal, Vulture blogger and writer Tom Smyth, to talk all things The Valley: the absolute joy of seeing Jax and Kristen return to their ancestral home (Bravo TV), Michelle and Jesse's dynamics as a couple truly unhappily ever after, a possible reason for Jax and Brittany's struggle with physical and emotional intimacy (BCC: earlier days of VPR, and their entire relationship), Janet's love of hot goss, and Nia's boundaries around BS as she navigates postpartum depression.

Sarah is joined by her Bravoholic pal, Vulture blogger and writer Tom Smyth, to unpack all things Vanderpump Rules. This convo is good as gold: whether Ariana is being "gaslit” by Scheana, the difficulty with categorizing Scheana and Lala in the same group, Scheana's step skipping when it comes to her forward movement with Tom, and what a reported pause in production means for the show and cast.

Sarah's joined by one of her favorite people in the world, his holiness, Dame Brian Moylan (founder and president of the Real Housewives Institute and New York Times bestselling author of "The Housewives: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewives"). They deep dive their shared obsession with Summer House: Danielle and Gabby's mixed signals (with each other, and possibly, gentlemen), whether the audience tide has turned (again?) with Lindsay and Carl's long goodbye, Kyle and Amanda's future in love and work (and why she deserves to be her own Founder/CEO), Carl's convo with his parents about marriage and maturity, and what other franchises could learn from the Summer House cast.

Sarah watched the most recent Summer House about 14 times, and has some things to say. She mentions it all: the "why these people shouldn't get married" episode bookends between Carl and Lindsay (with special guest stars Carl's mom and stepdad, and also LinkedIn), confusion around the choice to feature an extremely-not pixelated shot of Danielle's tush and her reactions to Gabby's upset, why the after show is an absolute much watch companion piece to main episodes (complicating everything, Sarah's fave), and more.

Sarah is joined by AG guest cohost Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches), to discuss the fascinating premiere episode of The Jinx season 2. They react to the episode’s focus on how season 1’s participants reacted to the S1 finale shockers, the ways massive privilege enabled Robert Durst to evade justice for so many decades (and a truly wild turn of events with a juror from his Texas trial), similarities in how Andrew Jarecki and Emily Maitlis strategized their interviews with Durst and Prince Andrew, surprising moments of levity, and guesses as to why on earth Bobby D ever signed on to the show.

Sarah realizes another week has passed without any new Housewives content, and lights a RHONJ scented Yahrzeit candle. After saying the Mourner’s Kaddish over her DVR, she realizes the most important content to create is one with her partner in crime, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They settle into the cloff, a place for new beginnings, and discuss Bravo’s dearth of Housewives programming, current picks from the recently re-released Bravo vault (blessed be the Peacock), confusing production and casting timelines on Atlanta, whether Tamra should be on the Mount Rushmore of Housewives or slightly left in a nearby hill, suspicions about Alexis’ return on OC, Sonja’s next chapter (a house is not a home, when there’s no longer a house), whether RHONY will truly focus on Rebecca Minkoff’s Scientology connection, Dylan's trip to see LVP's new restaurant in Lake Tahoe, and more. Someone pull together between 2-10 million, and sign that check with a Sexy J - it’s Andy’s Girls, Episode 533!

Sarah is joined by famed and frequent TIPper Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the podcast "Ruined") for a two-part Taking It Personally spectacular. Part 2: The Valley. They deep dive Michelle's brand of "quiet luxury" toxicity, Jesse's successful career as the most unlikeable husband/man currently on Bravo TV, Kristen's downward trend IRL (a special skill for any reality TV LinkedIn), Jax and Brittany's future (perhaps a new publicist, TBD), the difficulty of "working" on a relationship without actual work, Jasmine and Zach's friends-of energy (crucial cast roles regardless), and more.

Sarah is joined by TIPper, content creator, and host of the podcast "High & Low," Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. After sharing Swiftie status updates in honor of Taylor’s album launch, they deep dive all things Pump Rules: Ariana’s Swiftie energy (and vice versa) about centering a woman’s rage, the similarities in Sandoval and Rachel’s PR strategy/relationship rewrite, the lessons Pump Rules could learn from Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, and Lala’s breadcrumbing.

Sarah wakes up to the news that Robyn has been fired from Potomac, and thinks 'well that's the big story of the day/nothing else will happen lolololololol." In the middle of the storm of Bravo news alerts, she seeks out her fave navigator of Bravo's past, present, and future, Richie Skye (news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert). They settle into a Zoom (thanks again for your understanding about the audio!) and deep dive the challenge of anointing a housewife its franchise 'star' (bcc Icarus, Vicki, and Linnethia, and Gizelle), what the future of Potomac will look like if Bravo continues to hold Gizelle's work performance in high regard, Nneka's rumored departure, why Richie prefers not to use 'storyline' as a metric in how he reacts to a Housewife's role, brainstorming ways to resolve the current cast stalemate (and how to extricate Dr. Wendy from a cycle of 'wow this new career path is hard'), whether Alexia and Todd's surprise split may alter a reported cast shakeup in Miami (heaven forbid!), and a mid-recording live reaction to Candiace's pregnancy news. This convo is a bundle of joy, and not just because Sarah screams now and again - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 532!

"I'm exhausted. My weave is exhausted. The panty-liner on my underwear is exhausted." So sayeth Bravo Nation after a wild day of breaking news alerts. Sarah takes a jet pack to the cloffice to mention it all: Crystal, Robyn, and maybe-Nneka's exits from Beverly Hills and Potomac (and surprise that Dorit hasn't been mentioned....yet), Candiace's pregnancy announcement (likely a major reason for her already-announced pause), Alexia and Todd's divorce (and how this may impact casting rumors that already had Bravoholics up in arms), and Jennifer's engagement to....Ryan (possibly not the only OC proposal this season, God forbid). How could you do this to me question mark, said every content creator constantly updating their feed - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 531!

In the words of two great American poets, "Hangin' around (hangin' around)/Nothin' to do but frown/Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.” What better way to describe the cloudiness of mind, body, and spirit, after watching Potomac’s reunion allegedly, technically, conclude. Oh, there are far better ways? Well, lucky for all of humanity, this pod testimony will stand the test of time. And speaking of time, it’s spiritually 3 minutes long. Sarah discusses the highs, lows, and oh god nos of the Potomac reunion finale, including Gordon and Mia’s support for each other as they continue to navigate his diagnosis of bipolar 1 disorder, why Gizelle is the worst (too much?), the frustrating narrative around the finale altercation and what responsibility looks like to some members of the cast, the impasse between Nneka and Dr. Wendy, Ashley’s “come to Jesus” moment about Michael, what the future holds for Potomac and Candiace, and Juan’s confidence in his wife’s job security (lol). Let's hope the Internet in Surry County is working, because so much from the reunion did not - it’s Andy’s Girls, Episode 530!

Sarah is joined once again by guest co-host Louis Peitzman (culture commentator and Housewives writer) to unpack all things Summer House, plus some hot takes on Atlanta and Dubai: why Louis thinks Amanda and Kyle are not long for a happily ever after, the nuance and no-gos between Lindsay and Carl, why representation matters with Jesse Solomon (Bravo's first Jewish f**kboy Labrador!), West, the People's Princess, and yes, reactions to Kenya's confirmed return and why Sarah is probably not going to be mentioning it all about Dubai.

Sarah readies for part 2 of the Potomac reunion the best way she knows how: by procrastinating for four days and then singing "I Dreamed A Dream" during each commercial break. She mentions it all, kinda, or at least 57%: what production missed in their edit of the colorism conversation (and several other moments throughout the ep), why Sarah has unconsciously uncoupled from Robyn and Juan's relationship (not exactly an ideal position for a franchise that encourages introspection), the lost footage of Candiace and Dr. Wendy complimenting Gizelle, and Sarah's theory on Gordon's "to be continued." This episode technically aired, and Sarah loves that for them - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 529!

Sarah welcomes a new guest co-host to the People's People's Cloff (Zoom edition): Morgan Paige (content creator and host of the podcast Morgan's Pop Talks). They deep dive all things Pump Rules and The Valley: the quasi-bewildering battle between Lala and Lala's perception of Ariana, the difference between morality and sustainability in how production (and maybe the network) is positioning Sandoval, Kristen's record replicating dysfunction in her personal life and on reality TV, and who is worse as a partner, and man: Jesse or Jax.

Much like future Bravoholic Joy Behar, Sarah takes a little time to enjoy the View. The view of Potomac's past, present, and future, obvs. And who better to read those tea leaves than one of her fave people ready to spill - Carlos King (renowned producer and TV personality, CEO & Founder of Kingdom Reign Entertainment, and host of the hit podcast "Reality with the King"). Carlos joins Sarah in the cloffice (spiritually, that is), as they mention it all: what Candiace's exit means for the future of the franchise (and who should join her at the exit), lessons Carlos learned producing Atlanta and NJ, Gizelle's power demotion and Mia's power rise, Carlos' interview with Mia's 'forever love' Inc (and a differing time table on their relationship), Kyle's description of her cast as "inhumane," and what Carlos would recommend BH production focuses on next. This convo came out before AnneMarie's interview did, and Sarah's esophagus has marked itself safe from the storm - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 528!

Sarah watches the first part of the RHOP reunion, and immediately books a flight to Surrey County to thank Karen's ancestors for bringing her to life. After realizing the lack of Internet may inhibit access to RHOP online takes (yes!) but also her ability to see Karen's hair and dress (emergency!), she Uber Pools back to the cloff to deep dive the ep. It's a wide ranging convo: Gizelle and Candiace's centimeter-sized baby step into apologies, Mia's wise assessment of Candiace and Robyn's impasse (accountability vs. transparency), the missing part of the equation around cast safety on social and beyond, and "to be continued" questions about Mia, Gordon, Ink, and Jeremiah. Karen's tagline is about a fence, and don't picket this deep dive - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 527!

The Summer House deep dive needed a friend. Sarah welcomes back Lea Palmieri (host, writer, and producer, whose credits include Spotify, Decider, and wild takes on previous eps) to discuss all things Vanderpump Rules. They discuss Lea's surprising connection to the VPR universe, production's decision to focus much of the season around Tom Sandoval's apology tour (while not devoting the same time on Ariana's post-breakup journey), the building tension on-and-off camera between Lala and Scheana vs. Katie and Ariana, Schwartz' nickname for Jo (and whether that plays into his distance about their physical relationship), and why The Valley has no more room at its inn.

Sarah gets one of her most prayed-for birthday gifts: a promise ring from Chris Manzo that she sent to herself. And yes, another present just arrived- Bravo's announcement that the RHONY reboot cast is back - yes, including Jenna Effing Lyons! Sarah reacts to the news and possibly surprising hypotheses relating to the history of the second season curse. And yes, she shares a gift with the world (previously read and analyzed on Patreon): the historic and wild New York/The Cut profile of Bethenny Ann Frankel and her great and powerful influence over the cottage cheese industry. Don't blow out all the candles on the cake, because this Reading Rainbow dive carries the light - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 526!

Sarah rings in her birthday the best way she knows how - by watching, and then deep diving, the Potomac finale ep. She puts down a thimble of Prosecco and picks up a mic instead, and discusses Candiace's self-imposed pause from the RHOP, questions about Ashley's RSVP list, Mia and Gordon's nuanced, honest, and genuinely shocking pick-up scene following their split, which included conversation around money/power in their relationship, fidelity, Mia's "soulmate," and questions around that yet-to-be-ordered paternity test. Happy birthday to all, this convo is a gift - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 525!

Sarah readies for her birthday (spiritually mid twenties plus/plus plus) with a gluten free vegan cake in the shape of her TV (the most important symbol of all), and realizes the best gift to unpack is with a brand new ep. So she invites over recent TIP guest co-host Sarah Hearon (deputy news editor at UsMagazine.com and host of Us Weekly's Bachelor podcast, "Here for the Right Reasons"), where they discuss toxic boyfriends on Orange County, Tamra's nemesis (sometimes, herself), media relationships with the network and individual Bravolebs (and how that impacts coverage/takes), Scandoval: The Next Generation on The Valley and Vanderpump Rules, how to calibrate "fake" news, measuring Bravoleb sincerity with potentially strategic breakups, and WTF is going on with Lala and Katie, and Ariana v. Almost Everyone Else. It's two writer girls, doing a convo round-the-world tour - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 524!

Sarah's joined by fellow H ambassador Sarah Hearon (deputy news editor at UsMagazine.com and host of US Weekly's Bachelor podcast, "Here for the Right Reasons") to deep dive all things Summer House. They discuss Lindsay's accusations around Carl's sobriety and his upset about said acts, an updated view on Carl's decision to have cameras up for his breakup with Linds, West and Jesse Solomon, god's gift to casting (and opening up conversation between the cast), and the continued delight of Paige and Craig.

Sarah wakes up feeling particularly zesty, and puts out a bat call from the cloffice, to record an extra sassy ep. Thousands of miles away, content creator and host of the podcast "High & Low" Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo sees cloud imagery of a Manolo in the sky, and immediately flies in. They give each other a few "I'm very high energy right now, magic is about to be made" eye movements, and dive in: Mauricio's vulnerable (and potentially clarifying) perspective on his split with Kyle, Rachel's latest Scandoval commentary and social media on mental health, Bethenny and Teddi Jo's continued pursuit to terrorize tummies everywhere, Annemarie's announcement that she was fired, and why Alex McCord is needed now more than ever before. JLo's on the 6, and this convo is a 10 - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 523!

It's a rainy day in NYC, and those are tears from God about John Janssen's latest attack against Shan. So, Sarah drinks some iced coffee (either too much or not nearly enough, tbd tbd), and discusses surprising reveals on Buying Beverly Hills (and a cheater guide of which eps to watch for Kyle/Mo/family content around their split), how to look at S13 and 'protecting the family' vs. not telling the kids before both shows' cameras were up, and the lawsuit John Janssen filed against Shan which does a lovely job of trying to humiliate and body shame her while also seeking the attention he craves (next season of Orange County is going to be one for the books). The Quiet Woman is anything but - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 522!

Sarah realizes with cherry blossom season around the corner, it's time to finally catch up on this season of Potomac. So she dives in to all things post-Austin trip, on: the difficulty of believing there are relationship stakes when the cast quite literally does not, Mia's growth (from Gordon, with Jacqueline, and as a cast member), Robyn and Candiace's confusing battle, rare moments of vulnerability with Gizelle, and how to repair a deeply fractured cast. Michael Darby is still a Disney villain, so thank goodness he's not getting a sequel - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 521!

Sarah is joined by AG guest co-host Abbey Bonadies (content creator and brand marketing specialist) to discuss all things Vanderpump Rules. They deep dive Sandoval's non-apology tour, Scheana and Ariana's shifting friendship dynamics, Lala's new golden rule, whether or not the show can move past a season entirely based on breaking the fourth wall, and more.

After a wild evening binging Potomac and Vanderpump Rules, Sarah is caught up on everything but her mind. So she takes a moment, to, in the words of Barbara Walters, enjoy the view: aka the cloffice, obvs. After realizing the cloffice comes alive with new points of view ("those shoes are meeting my needs, unlike Mo"), she invites a new guest to take in the sights - content creator, brand marketing specialist, and BravoCon buddy, Abbey Bonadies. They discuss the difficult transition many Bravoleb kids face in maturing from childhoods caught on camera, Kyle's protective mechanism with Mauricio 'for the sake of the kids' (but not the greater audience, natch), and casting a new, post-LVP, center diamond alpha. Kyle can buy her own rings, and this convo feels like a precious gem - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 520!

Sarah travels to her LuAnn de Lesseps' style pied-a-terre (her parents' house in Rhode Island). After settling into that New England life (friendly salutations, iced coffee in all weather elements), she sidles up to another friendly environment: part 3 of the Beverly Hills reunion. Unsurprisingly, she has some thoughts! This deep dive includes an editing decision that added a bit of narrative confusion around the final ep, the different approach Andy took with Kyle vs other Housewives in talking about family matters, the decision to have Kathy join the couch instead of, ya know, Mauricio, and the difference between love and obedience. Mauricio may be moving out, but this convo moves in - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 519!

Sarah wonders about the point in having 1583 different streaming services if she isn't taking a break from watching RHONY S1-12 for the millionth time. So she takes a break from turtle time and instead tunes in to the latest installment of Hulu/ABC Studios' "The Housewife and the Hustler: Dead Reckoning." After watching, Sarah realizes she needs to immediately discuss all things doc with one of its stars (and Sarah's Bravoholic pal), former prosecutor, legal commentator, LawTube sensation, and host of the pod "The Emily Show," Emily D. Baker. They deep dive what various updates on Tom's trial means for his future (and Erika Jayne's), Erika's selective reasoning around "empathy" and RHOBH's production edit, details behind Erika's two truths and a lie confession about Marco Marco designer Christopher Psaila, and framing that final scene with Tom's victims around on-camera pressure vs. off-camera reality. Erika may not love this convo, but the People's People's Court definitely will - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 518!

Just call this episode betrayal/betrothed coded. Sarah is joined by AG guest co-host Christine Biancavilla to deep dive two mutual obsessions: the finales for Love is Blind and The Traitors. Spoilers galore, obviously, as they mention it all: the difference in how gamers vs. Bravolebs played end game, a possible behind why so many toxic men end up on Love is Blind, why the scene between Clay's parents was one of the most impactful to have appeared on reality TV (and the difficulty and possibility in breaking generational trauma), Laura's Meghan King Edmonds energy, Chelsea's manipulative dynamics with Jimmy (sub conscious or otherwise), and the reasons Amber aka AD was the season MVP.

Sarah hears the term 'bed rot' - always a few weeks/months behind, like any good non TikToker - and realizes that the only term for catching up on Miami's complete reunion cycle is 'bed of roses.' After binging all three parts of the RHOM reunion, and yes, of course, watching BH yet again, she invites over one of her Bravoholic pals to the cloffice to unpack it all: content creator and ally to viral shrimp cereal commentary, Christine Biancavilla. They discuss their single girls' guide to Housewives marriages (and what Housewives fans are missing of Mo's vulnerability, seen in recent Netflix clips), Julia's new role as the bone collector of Miami (one with phenomenal lip sync power), Garcelle and Crystal's fascinating side eyes about Dorit and PK's marriage, Kyle’s erasure of Sutton's vulnerability-based storylines (and why Guerdy deserves all of the flowers in the ether), and the most toxic Housewives divorces. Mauricio may have consciously uncoupled from the Housewives universe this season, but this convo is all in - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 517!

As Denise said, quoted by Sutton, "watch the show" - so Sarah did. After seeing Part 2 of the RHOBH Reunion Odyssey, Sarah mentions it all: Kyle's selective ignorance/active denial around insinuations about Sutton's drinking and an allegation of an ED, Garcelle's decision to pursue reality TV in order to stabilize her life as a parent, Crystal's counter on Tom's medical diagnosis/capability to stand trial, and whether or not Kyle should put herself on pause. Kyle may be in the hot seat, but at least it's on a pretty set - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 516!

Sarah's back from her European adventure, and she arrives back to the office to a deluge of texts. Oh wait, that's just a short novel between Kyle and Dorit from P1 of the BH reunion. So after she unpacks her baggage - emotional and otherwise - Sarah deep dives P1 of the Beverly Hills reunion, from whether or not Kyle's night-before text to Dorit was strategic, Dorit's burst bubble about education in college vs. real life, the difficulty in not seeing other aspects of AnneMarie's personal life, and Kyle's friendship contracts when it comes to battles with Kathy. Sarah spent a day in Amsterdam, so she knows how to pronounce AnneMarie (she just needs to figure out how to say "nurse anesthesiologist" in Dutch) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 515!

As Sarah continues her European adventure, she throws a coin in the Trevi Fountain in Rome, hoping for an AG classic sassafrass convo with one of her Bravoholic friends. Dreams do come true, because that coin jumped right into the cloffice for a sit down kiki with acclaimed artiste, and the man/myth/legend behind DrunkDrawn, Ryan Casey. They discuss Ryan's decade+ history with WWHL, reactions from Housewives in response to his intentionally distorted art, celebrating all things Bravoleb, lessons learned about a history of Black women having had their bodies weaponized stemming from a convo with Annemarie, reactions to the Beverly Hills trailer (and outfits!), and a round-the world status check on Salt Lake, BH, and more (obvs...Shan). This convo is a masterpiece, just like Ryan's art - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 514!

Sarah takes in a night of theatre (watching old eps of Salt Lake when Jen Shah proclaimed her innocence), followed by a performance that has stayed with her ever since, featuring today's guest co-host. After watching and bawling during "The White Chip," she invites its star, actor Joe Tapper, over to the cloffice, for a hilling journey. They discuss how Joe's journey with sobriety influenced his decision to take on a play about alcohol addition, a fluency and connection between Housewives fans which can often bridge a gap around how to broach otherwise delicate convos, the ways Housewives/Vanderpump Rules/Summer House portray the complicated narrative around addiction and recovery, the complicated comms on Beverly Hills around Kyle's decision to stop drinking (and her own dynamics around Kim's alcoholism), Carl and Lala's journeys with sobriety, and more. Joe's technically been on AG before after a delightful prior cameo with his wife, and Sarah's college pal, Annaleigh Ashford, and thank goodness for a return role - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 513!

Sarah's leaving on a jet plane, and no it's not Sutton's PJ. But it should be! Before embarking on her European adventure, and inspired by the RHOBH finale, she opens the cloffice door to one of her fave Bravoholic pals, Alison Leiby (comedian, writer, and cohost of the podcast "Ruined"). After a brief downward spiral about geopolitics and Verizon Wireless, they discuss a white party like no other (and why this year especially should've been at Kyle and Mo's humble abode), what Kyle may have been referencing with the straw that broke that camel's back (humping, as it were), Sandoval's continued comms strategy to blame his cast members for his bad rep, and a disconcerting observation of James' "rock bottom." Sarah speaks French en peu, but she is definitely fluent in sass - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 512!

Sarah fled NYC to Paris like Mauricio whenever he hears someone in a far-flung land whisper, "The Agency." And yet, here we stand, with a new ep, recorded mere moments after the Beverly Hills finale aired. Mademoiselle Galli (née Madame, she is spiritually mid-twenties plus after all) is joined by Madame Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo, Sarah's Bravoholic pal, fellow member of the content creator Lady Gang, and host of the new pod High & Low. They settle into a Zoom marriage counseling session, to discuss what the eff went wrong with Kyle and Mo like it's a Law and Order autopsy of the heart (the romance cartoon version). The highs, lows, BBDB seeing Erika on-screen and saying hell no's, Kyle's reveal about an inciting incident during her final confessional, Sutton's vulnerable conversation with Porter about identity and acceptance, Dorit and PK's tense stalemate, and why on earth we didn't see Crystal's mom. And Annemarie was there, which is nice. Beverly Hills has a reunion ahead, much like a croissant Sarah is about to imbibe - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 511!

Tom Sandoval broke the Internet (or at least the Bravoverse and select New York Times Magazine subscribers, natch). After reading the epic and honestly unbelievable impeccable take down of Tom "I am also mid twenties plus" Sandoval in the Grey Lady, Sarah realizes the best way to unpack what on earth she just read is one of her fave content creators and hosts, The Talk of Shame's Kiki Monique (host, Reality Checked on Radio Andy, Pop Crime on Betches Media, and Bagel Friday queen). They discuss the impact and intent behind Sandoval's wild connection of his internet fame with OJ Simpson and George Floyd, Bravo's PR silence in real time vs. their triage-level troubleshooting as the interview process veered left, right, up and down (anything but centered, tbh), the ultimate reveal of how Tom views himself, and his difficulty in living a life outside of reality TV, and more. Sarah has a full Reading Rainbow narration of the article up on Patreon, and she's patiently waiting for a Nobel - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 510!

The journey continues, as Sarah and Louis Peitzman (Housewives writer and culture commentator) pick up where they left off. Over the course of a rollicking two part spectacular, they discuss why the timeline over Kyle and Mauricio's separation is key to understanding a fuller picture of their on-and surely off-camera behavior, Mo's bewildering absence from the reunion (and his marriage), whether Annemarie is truly 'one and done,' the current stalemate over RHUGT: Morocco (and concern over how the Bravo community have been punitive in their upset over its uncertain future), rumors about OG (spiritual and otherwise) returns to Atlanta, Kiki's current storyline on Miami and the great potential ahead, and the ways that the Miami franchise is grounded in mutual affection, and yes, hot takes on Married to Medicine, including whether Quad and Mariah could - and should - return.

Sarah starts packing for her big trip to Europe (goal: to follow Dorit's Peter Pan musical caravan as a groupie with a dream), when she realizes she can't take Sutton's PJ when there's still so much Housewives to unpack. So she invites one of her Bravoholic pals over to the cloffice for an epic two-part deep dive chat: Housewives writer and culture commentator, Louis Peitzman. Over the course of a rollicking two part spectacular, they discuss why the timeline over Kyle and Mauricio's separation is key to understanding a fuller picture of their on-and surely off-camera behavior, Mo's bewildering absence from the reunion (and his marriage), whether Annemarie is truly 'one and done,' the current stalemate over RHUGT: Morocco (and concern over how the Bravo community have been punitive in their upset over its uncertain future), rumors about OG (spiritual and otherwise) returns to Atlanta, Kiki's current storyline on Miami and the great potential ahead, and the ways that the Miami franchise is grounded in mutual affection, and yes, hot takes on Married to Medicine, including whether Quad and Mariah could - and should - return.

Sarah watches an old episode of The People's (People's) Court, and realizes she's ready to put some of her own hot takes on trial. So she Zooms up one of her fave seekers of truth, Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, host of the podcast Pot Psychology, and creator of pipe dreams.fun). They file some amicus briefs on RHUGT: Morocco, and discuss what it means to be "petty" in the Scandoval universe, Tracie's review of Ariana's performance in Chicago, Lisa Hochstein's search for a caregiver, Kyle's conscious uncoupling (and Mo's seeming inability to prioritize their marriage), what Porsha's return to Atlanta means for Phaedra's own potential peach, and a spirited debate about some of the Morocco cast's decision to take sides. It's not an AG without a bit of a battle mixed with some cackle and love - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 508!

Sarah files paperwork to ascend the throne (not in the UK, but the Bravo Clubhouse downtown). She runs into some issues as she attempted to trademark "Dame" for sole use in the cloffice, as there is more than one royal head of the Bravo community. So who better to share a crown than her fellow writer girl with a heart of gold (Satchels of Gold), Founder and President of the Real Housewives Universe, Dame Brian Moylan (New York Times bestselling author behind "The Housewives: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewives"). They discuss the similarities and differences between Ariana, Lisa Hochstein, and Larsa's roles in their relationships (and breakups), potential nuance in the upcoming season of Summer House around Carl and Lindsay's "surprise" breakups, and how Sandoval and Erika Jayne frame toxic social media when questions arise about accountability and blame. Marcus Jordan's dad is having a pretty good week, just do it, indeed - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 507!

It's the golden age of television, and that's just from the castle confessionals between Phaedra and Parvati. So, of course, there's much to discuss. Sarah and AG guest co-host Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches) talk about their reactions to the shocking plot twist on The Traitors, Kevin's flop attachment style, who they're rooting for in the end, plus their obsession with Sad Nicole [Kidman] Energy in her latest prestige vehicle, Expats (an emotional experience for Sarah, cue Kleenex), and Sarah's latest fave TV binge, the super-sexy and fun reboot of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Sarah takes an Uber Pool to support Adriana's pride concert (whomever was running the sound mix for that lip-syncing is undoubtably an ally), where she drops off a sign for Julia with a correctly spelled name. After anointing herself a spelling b (don't finish sounding out that word), Sarah invites over one of her fave people to the cloff, who puts the B in SBBD, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss the ongoing dynamics on Bev Hills about a cast "friend circle" allegiance to each other vs. production responsibility and comms, the difference between empathy and responsibility between Erika and the cast (spoiler alert: compassion is a hard thing to feel bad about), Lisa's Big Brat Era and her insistence around being the victim of her own poor behavior, and why Kiki deserves to be full-time. Miami faced an island of misfit toys, which is also the name of Lisa's perfume pricing dept. - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 506!

The Traitors is having one of those kinds of "watch this in real time or you will forever regret" seasons, and so of course Sarah needs to mention it all. She is joined by AG guest co-host and spiritual Faithful Tom Smyth, where they discuss Phaedra's SCOTUS-level roundtable against Dan, a round of "flop or bop" about Larsa and Kevin, misconceptions about Pilot Pete's ability to soar (and why Annemarie's husband might score him at a 6, apologies to 8.5), Parvati's Black Widow Brigade trilogy, Tom and Sarah's picks for S3, and more.

Sarah wakes up on yet another day without new eps of Salt Lake (the inhumanity!!!!), until she realizes that, thank god, Variety and New York Mag published exclusive interviews with Monica, Heather, production, and Andy too! So she Zooms up the great minds behind these epic deep dives, two of her fave writer girls (spiritually, obvs) - Kate Aurthur (Variety's editor-at-large) and writer Louis Staples. They discuss secrets revealed from Kate and Louis' dramatic deep dives with the cast, a cast conspiracy about Monica from Season 3, the discrepancy around "selective truth" for both Monica and Heather, what morality means in the post-Jen Shah Era, whether production knew about Reality von Tease, the likelihood of whether Monica will be lifted from production purgatory aka "pause," and yes, thoughts on whether RHUGT: Morocco will (and should) air. Just call this episode a lending library, because it must be passed around - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 505!

Inspired by the Beverly Hills cast's Barcelona-set Supermarket Sweep, Sarah rushes to Etsy to see if she can find any $3 dupes for a 300-year-old fan. She stockpiles an array for the cloff (no better way to clear anti-Shan energy before OC inevitably airs), and enjoys an equally breezy convo with her Bravoholic pal (and renowned artiste), Tom Smyth (Vulture blogger, writer and proprietor behind Milk and Don't Call Me Honey). They Uber Eats some GF vegan paella with a size of Zaddy, and discuss Sutton’s devastating end of episode memory play (Tennessee Williams wishes, tbh), and her combined and complicated grief over the loss of Merce, her dad, and her marriage, the connection between Erika's dinner performance and Dorinda's interpretation of her own, Annemarie's push to be graded on a curve, Dorit and Garcelle's conversation about marginalized communities (and the ways to discuss privilege without invalidating trauma), and yes, the wild, wild, ride that was this week's Miami (an island of misfit toys, Larsa v. Lisa v. baby v. bully, and Kiki's juice box armor against a mid-tantrum brat). Erika takes two steps forward and one step back, which is equal parts due to Girardi and Fosse choreo combined - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 504!

Break out your Pumptinis and GF vegan goat cheese balls (or whatever they'll be serving on The Valley aside from possibly-middling TV) - Vanderpump Rules is back, and yes, it's about Tom. And Tom. Sarah breaks down her highlights from the VPR premiere, whether or not Ariana can fully process her breakup while in a new relationship, what people are (possibly) getting wrong in comparing Lala's voice note to her boundaries over Rand, a likely-uncomfortable season for Schwartz (...hopefully?), and yes, Sandoval's constitutional right to annoy his neighbors (and the rest of the world). Sandoval ended the episode by bringing home baggage, which was certainly a window into this season's soul - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 503!

Inspired by the Beverly Hills haunted Barcelona casa, Sarah knocks on her own door, hoping that if the sound is eery enough, a PJ-clad Sutton and Garcelle will stop by. Alas, if these walls could talk, they'd say, "be smarter than what Annamarie says Crystal says about the cast." So she invites over one of her fave Housewives intellectuals, someone whose Roman Empire is Heather's eye, content creator and Bravoholic Christine Biancavilla. They discuss Caroline Manzo's shocking lawsuit against Bravo, Peacock, Shed, and NBC, why Monica's reunion girl math isn't mathing, the joy of a Beverly Hills battle that is low stakes framed as high, what Annemarie is finally doing right (hint: it's still about being very wrong), Dorit's confessional flop era, Erika Jayne's relapse into snarky apathy about those damn earrings, and more. Sutton doesn't want the little people ghosts to come out, but sass is still very welcome - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 502!

Sarah realizes she has become helpless to the constant pull of a Salt Lake reunion rewatch. So after another viewing of part 3 (for...more than a third time), she decides the best way to 'internalize' is to do the exact opposite: an external, extra-zesty cloffice kiki with her pal, actor, producer, writer, and People’s Couch alum, Emerson Collins. They settle into the cloff and deep dive whether Sandoval will receive a redemption season energy from his cast (and the Pump Rules audience), the ways recent exclusive media interviews have influenced a deeper dive of Monica and Heather's motivations, the ways to hold space for trauma and also accountability (a seemingly impossible practice with Bravo discourse these days), the cast's frequent comparison of Monica and Jen (and disconnect over righteous rage), Angie K. and Whitney's centered reunion performances, and how to trust Monica's truth about whether production knew about her trolling. Monica may not be back to Salt Lake, but this season will always have a full-time snowflake in Sarah's spiritual DVR - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 501!

"Everything Everywhere All at Once." The name of an Academy Award-winning film, and an apt descriptor for the wild, complicated, fascinating reunion finale to this season of Salt Lake. Sarah deep dives it all: the breaking news that Monica is "on pause" from the show, her missed opportunity/strategy to open up about Reality Von Tease as a Housewife and not troll account, Heather's explanation for her eye (and the communal experience of experiencing trauma at the hands of Jen Shah), inconsistencies around grace for Monica/Heather's external reactions to Jen's behavior (and their reactions around accountability/shame), and what the future of SLC and Housewives holds, on social and IRL. This episode's theme song should be "Something to Talk About" - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 499.986765!

Obvious spoiler alert, beep beep. Sarah watches the first four eps of The Traitors and floats to heaven above, where she meets up with AG guest co-host Richie Skye (news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert). They discuss a surprising cast exit, the ways Housewives and Bravolebs are particularly well suited for personality politics/relationship stewardship (and why Bravo-based reality TV has been held against them by the rest of the cast), Phaedra’s stunning monologue to Parvati (a historic serve), their ideal picks for Traitors S3, and, of course, casket/coffin culture.

Sarah watches the newest BH and immediately calls her local anesthesiologist, begging for any possible solution to sleep during scenes with Annemarie. After being told that 'skipping ahead' is the best prescription, she instead girds her loins, buckles in, and Zooms up the cure for what ails her, Richie Style (news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert). They settle in to spiritual triage, and discuss the discrepancies in Kyle's thoughts about Mauricio and their marriage, Erika's press-specific shade, Annemarie's 'role' in continuously fighting about Sutton's esophagus, Monica and Dorit's futures onscreen, and Richie's casting recommendations for Atlanta. Don't tell Kim and Kroy that they've been referenced in the same sentence, or heaven forbid they will continue to mention it all - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 499 and three quarters!

Sarah goes to St. Patrick's Cathedral to light a candle for this season of Salt Lake (almost gone, but not forgotten). Inspired by the first snowfall to hit NYC in what feels like decades, she builds herself a snow-set (a better job than that shipwreck, and easier to melt) and discusses the latest reveals about Monica's relationship with her mom (and what LD Millionaire shared on Twitter as the reunion aired), Mary's surprising advocacy against faking an orgasm (#wesupportotherwomen), the ways Whitney delivered in discussing Jack's mission and her tension with Heather, and yes, the profound vulnerability shared on Potomac this week about surviving sexual violence. Monica has sent so many voice notes she fill several podcast eps (which is...probably coming) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 499.5!

Sarah watches the new BH and cries a river. A literal river. A river runs through it, except instead of seeing Brad Pitt and Tom Skeritt paddle by or whatever (who has actually seen this movie? Oh, many people? Ok), she dries her tears and Zooms up a member of the AG framily, content creator and host of the new pod "High & Low," Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They deep dive the nuanced and beautiful ways Kyle, Sutton, and Garcelle unpacked individual journeys with grief, the human equivalent of a blood pressure test that is Anna/Anne-Marie, PK's understanding of how Dorit should translate her PTSD (and a possible reason for his confessional barbs), and some hot takes after BBDB revisited the last 10 episodes of Salt Lake (that's right! She just re-watched the last 10, blessed be). Sarah gets verklempt, screechy, and talks once again about that veggie taco, so consider this convo its own holy trinity - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 499!

Sarah prays to Archangel Michael, to deliver upon us a reunion worthy of its own surprise deep dive. And lo, Mikey came through. So Sarah runs to the cloffice, out of breath from cardio/strength training (watching the reunion and not immediately booking a flight to Salt Lake), where she discusses Monica's confusing and inconsistent IDGAF strategy, Angie K's reunion reveal (a truly mesmerizing tissue), Lisa Barlow's stellar performance, and ever-evolving opinions after some secret (footage) revealed. Monica sent an email in November 2021 that this was her all-time fave convo - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 498!

Sarah watches the new episode of Potomac and wonders if those evil geniuses over at AI HQ can create a Karen Huger only edit for Peacock. Thinking about the Pickleball Queen (whose triple 20s is very reminiscent of a "spiritual mid-twenties-plus mentality, natch), she zooms up another absolute delight, Bravoholic and New York Times bestselling author, Michael Arceneaux ("I Can't Date Jesus," "I Don't Want to Die Poor," and the upcoming "I Finally Bought Some Jordans"). They discuss the difference between respecting your villains and co-signing their behavior (ahem, Monica), how to view the cast reactions to Monica's trolling vs. Jen's indictments/guilty plea, the breakup of the Tres Amigas (and how Shannon and Tamra's fallout will impact her journey once filming begins), Ashley's refusal to see Candiace's hurt underneath her upset, Sonja's punchline on UGT and IRL, and Dorit's, ahem, theatrical tour. Sarah finally needs to buy some Jordans, so please join the Patreon while she googles "laces, pink" - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 497!

Still flying high after the impeccable SLC finale (sidebar someone please create a GoFundMe: Bermuda so that Sarah can trace the steps to such a historic episode, like a ghost tour), Sarah realizes the only way to process what happened during the ep - and since - is a cloff kiki with her Bravoholic bestie, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They sip some spiritual Vida (water, natch), and discuss the difference in how cast members have evaded truth on Housewives, Sarah's a-ha moment about the boutique shopping scene (and whether or not an adjusted timeline of when Heather found out impacts a review of her finale performance), Monica's future Monica'ing, Guerdy's impactful and emotional cancer journey (and how the cast has done her a disservice), Kim Richards' role as a caregiver and emotional vulnerability guide, and some, well, deep thoughts on the Garcelle and Dorit mishegoss. Life is a journey, and so is this convo - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 496!

Paging Dr. Simone, Dr. Jackie (more on that on this ep), Toya, and...Quad? Sarah is joined by AG guest co-host Erica Cobb (co-host Daily Blast Live and NAACP Awards nominated host, "Comeback with Erica Cobb," a podcast and social media show) to discuss Sarah's #1 favorite show on Bravo, the iconic Married to Medicine. They have a nuanced and spirited convo about how the cast (and production) treated Quad this season, and whether it makes sense for her to return, the complicated dynamics in discussing Dr. Jackie's historic convo with VP Harris in light of a now-viral video from 2020 (and Erica's thoughts on Dr. Jackie's response), and why Erica believes the show is currently facing "stormy weather."

There are certain moments in American history that stand out. When the presidential vote in 2000 was decided by the Supreme Court. When Jlo inspired the creation of Google Image with a certain Versace dress. And when Monica joined her friend circle for a dinner tribunal, one night in Bermuda. Sarah is witness to this most recent, shocking event, one that has changed our nation and several others, forevermore. She discusses the moment that truly took her out (#BlondeAmbitionTour), what Monica and Danna shared in an IG Live immediately following the episode airing about Jen Shah's role in Heather's eye, why the BravoCon panel decision now makes complete sense, questions Heather may have to answer at the reunion about NBC/Universal HR, and the difficulty in comparing/equalizing the toxicity between Monica and Jen. Heather got her groove back, and what a sight to see - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 495!

Sarah greets the New Year in a fit of cackles (thanks, John Mayor, Anderson, Andy, and some feline friends). Inspired to start 2024 off right, she Zooms up one of her fave Bravoholic pals, prepared to mention it all: Erica Cobb (co-host Daily Blast Live and NAACP Awards nominated host, "Comeback with Erica Cobb," a podcast and social media show). They discuss Erica's adventure at Kathy Hilton's Christmas party, the sliding doors effect on RHOBH, deciding what to disclose about romantic partnerships, the missing piece of Dorit's storyline, why Michael Darby is at least partially to blame for Potomac's lackluster season, and the difficulty in unpacking the Richards sister dynamics. Apologies in advance for mentioning Teddi so soon into 2024 - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 494!

Sarah can't start 2024's new beginnings without mentioning it all about 2023. This countdown includes her personal picks (backed by science) of moments big and small from Bravo, from the Scandoval (heard of it?) to Lisa Hochstein's Honda trial run, Kristen Taekman's big toe, Monica's content creation, AG moments, and Bethenny's reality reckoning wreck. Taank Tops and Stangies, this ep is for you - it's Andy's Girls, 493!
Happy New Year to Chris Manzo and Sarah's bridesmaids!

Sarah watches the newest SLC and immediately Googles "where can I buy Heather Gay's book or maybe just the Whitney excerpt and also PS BTW what are books and do they come with Peacock." Concerned by her search results (sweetie), she realizes the best way to process Salt Lake is with one of her fave writer girls, Lea Palmieri (host, writer, and producer, formerly at Spotify, Decider, and more). They do an Angie K-style trot to the cloffice, where they discuss Meredith's responses to conflict (and the difference in being centered on disengaging vs. processing), Lea's definition of a "shady" Housewife and which Bravoleb deserves the title, Monica's future on the show (and the cast's refusal to move forward with her), and yes, a reading of the very Bad Mormon excerpt that seemingly inspired so much contention from Whitney to Heather. Le vie en Rose, and Sarah's bungled French - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 492!

Sarah is joined by guest co-host Lea Palmieri (host, writer, and producer, formerly at Spotify, Decider, and more) to discuss the effervescent joy and delight that is this season of Southern Charm. They have a spirited debate about what it means to be "good" when it comes to Austen and Shep, what Vanderpump Rules and Southern Charm have taught us about the ways women view friendship betrayal when their partners/exes cheat, Craig Conover, America's Sweetheart, JT, Le Petit Prince, Taylor's ill-advised attempt to connect with Olivia by referencing her brother, and their picks for best dressed reunion looks.

Shiver me timbers: RHONY Legacy Tropics Girl's Trip Legacy is finally here, and of course Sarah and AG guest co-host Ben Rimalower have to mention it all. They discuss Ben's love for the current season (and why it's his fave UGT yet!), an Addams Family flavor to the cast roles, the differences in how Kelly and Kristen view the framework of UGT vs. Housewives trips, how Kelly views Scary Island and herself, whether Sonja in the city will finally include a sold townhouse, Ramona's future on the network (lol) and also ya know, if Zarin Fabrics can be woven back in, and the TBD status of UGT: Morocco.

Just call this a slay ride, ammiright. Sarah awakens on Christmas Eve Eve Eve, and realizes the greatest gift Santa/Hanukkah Harry could bring is a *spirited* AG double ep. So she invites one of her fave presents over to the North Pole of the UES also known as Yorkville, Ben Rimalower (writer, performer, and most recently director of Countess and Friends). They put some menorah themed stockings on a cloffice wall, and deep dive the ways reality TV can impact a Housewife's disconnection from their own reality, the difficulty of feeling one must compete against a previous season's storyline/stakes, opining on Denise's behavior at the dinner party from hell, and some, shall we say, spirited debate about Kyle, Kyle v. Mauricio, Ben v. Sutton, and Ben v. Sarah v. Sutton v. the greater unknown. Mrs. Clause says she's the Kathy of her family, and don't you forget it - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 491!
Merry Christmas from the Cloff!

Sarah sees Dorit's IG response to her scene with Garcelle and rolls her eyes so far that the cloffice suggests she make an appointment with her optometrist. Sarah realizes the next best counsel is Kiki'ing with a Bravoholic pal who has 20/20 vision about BH and SLC: Evan Real (senior TV reporter, PageSix.com, and co-host of Virtual Reali-tea). They discuss concern and confusion over Dorit's double down on Instagram, the ways removing nuances can complicate understanding Garcelle's perspective, whether the cast is mimicking some of Rinna’s behavior in her stead, reactions to the Salt Lake finale trailer, Monica's unpaid internship at the Jen Shah school of practical magic, Whitney's upset toward Heather about Bad Mormon, and the reasons Lisa and Meredith's selfie sass is at the core of what many viewers like most on Housewives. Dorit may live in a bubble, but this convo floats above the rest - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 490!

Sarah does some winter cleaning in the cloffice (gotta get those skeletons out of the closet, and pitch a show to Peacock), and realizes cleanliness is next to godliness, and there's nothing holier than hearing about an extremely VIP creator meet-up with a Bev Hill OG. So she Zooms up a Bravoholic pal (and fellow Shan Stan) who just attended an intimate hotel kiki with Kyle Richards, content creator Julian Hagins. They discuss Julian's experience watching the most recent (very Kyle-heavy) episode of BH next to Kyle herself, the comments she had about Sutton and Garcelle as she reacted to what came out onscreen (and the moment Sarah is shaken that was missed), the complicated and nuanced journey of finding a new safe space (and the difficulty of rejecting relationships of obligation with family when obligated to 'befriend' a filmed circle of friends), similarities in Robyn's difficulty finding a place to be vulnerable when Juan (and Mauricio) are not avail, what the future of Potomac might look like without a few OGs, and the difficulty of a season focused on what was seen on TV and not living in real life. Lisa Rinna was mentioned twice in this convo, once more and she magically appears - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 489!

Sarah Google Images "Angie K sunglasses" in order to save an iconic alternate wallpaper for her phone (Pedro Pascal is shaking), and realizes the only thing more iconic - ok, equally iconic - would be inviting her Bravoholic pal Petshopboy aka B. Graeter (host of the podcast "The B List") to the cloffice for a true Epcot-style Bravo deep dive (they're going around the franchises in 70 minutes). They discuss which Housewife they'd want to represent them in Congress, Potomac's identity shift, a surprising lack of stakes in questioning Robyn's relationship, the underground community of OG Angie K. stans, Anna-Annemarie's pride over her scoreboard remationship (and wildly inappropriate interpretation of Sutton's esophagus condition as an ED), shared confusion over next season's Jackie/Marg feud, and whether Miami passes the Bechdel test. Larsa needs to work on her active listening skills, and maybe this convo can help - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 488!

Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. With the second part of The Crown's final season upon us, Sarah has to unpack the first. So she sits down with her pal, writer Tom Smyth, to deep dive Peter Morgan's origin story (The Queen), the difference in connection/observation on The Queen vs The Crown, the decision to use Diana/Dodi ghosts for storytelling (and the cost of attempting to bring creative closure), and the audience's own unique 'ownership' over how the Firm is portrayed.

Gird your loins and embrace a world of chaos, because this episode covers the gamut. Sarah realizes that in order to move forward in storytelling for BH, she needs to take a step back, and have a 5-minute (90-minute) friendly (yelling) cloffice peace accord (cage match) about, you guessed it, Kyle. So she Zooms up friend of the pod and enemy of Kyle and possibly German Shepards everywhere, content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They deep dive the complicated narratives presented by Kyle and Teddi Jo in the days following the ep, the harm of discussing EDs like a game of clue, a list of grievances BBDB has about Kyle not being a "girl's girl," and separating the person from the personality. Buckle up for this convo/drag to hell, because it does go, yes, it's true, all in - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 487!

Sarah orders a pink feather jacket she intends to wear upside down, just as the good lord intended (blessed be, Denise). After setting a tablescape for her own dinner party from hell (a Hanukkah dinner without latkes? For shame), she Zooms up a heavenly guest: Jackelyn Shultz (producer and podcaster, "Howie Mandel Does Stuff," featuring her dad). They deep dive whether or not Denise's upset toward Erika was misplaced, Sutton and Kyle's tension over Kathy (and each other), differing friendship expectations between Whitney and Lisa, Heather Gay's sly pot stirring (an art!), Meredith Marks' battle for respect, one bathtub-included bedroom at a time, and whether Jackelyn’s dad will watch Vanderpump Rules. Monica and Heather are suing each other, and this convo pleads guilty (to extra sass) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 486!

Paging Dr. Heavenly, Dr. Simone, Dr. Jackie, maybe Quad. Sarah watches the new Married to Med, and immediately searches ZocDoc to see if Dr. Heavenly can take a consultation over Zoom. Undeterred by an "Lol" response, she fills a prescription for a deep dive, joined by Gibson Johns (host of the new pod "Gabbing with Gib"). They settle in for a Married to Med and Potomac deep dive, and discuss the reasons Dr. Simone is a top 5 Housewife, the importance of knowing M2M's history before engaging with its present, what Quad and Mariah have in common, Phaedra's continued self-producing (including, potentially, in her tbd dating life), the disconcerting lack of cast convo around Dr. G., as well as the current hurdles facing the cast of Potomac in Austin trip. Sarah met her holy trinity at BravoCon - Dr. Damon, Cecil, and Eugene - for which she will always be thankful - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 485!

Will you accept this rosé? Sarah realizes the best way to celebrate happy hour (her 19th re-watch of the dinner party from hell, part trois), is to Zoom up someone who can definitely mention it all: fellow Bravoholic, and BravoCon MVP, Rachel Lindsay (media personality, author, attorney, co-host of the pods Higher Learning and Morally Corrupt, and the first Black lead in franchise history on ABC's The Bachelorette). They settle onto the People's People's (Internet-accessible) Couch, and discuss Rachel's spiritual Housewife, the Rinnavation on Beverly Hills, Sutton and Kyle's continued inability to trust and connect with each other, how authenticity is viewed and valued on Housewives, Rachel's on-and-offstage interactions with the Potomac cast at BravoCon, the importance of representation in casting African Housewives, and Nneka and Dr. Wendy's continued crossroads. Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, and so is this convo - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 484!

Sarah applies to be a cater waiter in order to be in the room where it happens: the dinner party from hell, part 3 (a not-so-holy trinity). After being told by the hot pot chefs that her ability to balance conversation is less important than carrying some plates, she realizes she'd rather serve a great convo instead of some shards of Hermes china. So, she invites over one of her fave dinner convo companies, and Bravo besties, content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They discuss the definition of 'success' for long-term relationships/marriage (and how the audience has been responding to Kyle and Mo's separation), the difference in 'crossing boundaries' for Sutton vs. Kyle, Morgan Wade's introduction into the Housewives universe, Garcelle's historic confessional Dorit drag, and more. Allison DuBois says Mauricio may never fulfill you, but this convo definitely will - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 384!

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first Housewives practice to deceive. Beginning with: pickleball is a thing. And also, ya know, marital strife, friends on the outs, and possibly misrepresenting close relationships. Sarah reflects on the glorious current generation of Housewives (and the difficulty in picking her overall top pick), and realizes the best way to deep dive is with one of her fave swimmers - Louis Peitzman (Housewives writer and culture commentator). They pick up some pickleball paddles expedited by Karen's fave court, along with Juan's overturned baked beans, and discuss the ways that Nneka and Dr. Wendy are focusing on behavior vs. action in their pickleball battle, the difficulty in moving Potomac storyline with several Housewives isolated from the rest of their cast, the importance of narrative storytelling focused on women of a certain age, why Louis is Team Neither but Also Both for Kyle vs. Sutton, what Kathy said about Kyle and Mo's future (and why separation doesn't always lead to divorce), Garcelle's continued triumph as a Housewife and emotionally connected parent, and Monica's reliance on Jen Shah's opinions (lol) to drag her cast. This convo is super sized and super smized - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 482!

Sarah gathers her family around the Thanksgiving table, and says a blessing over her life's most treasured gifts (Chris Manzo, Pedro Pascal, Dr. Simone, Garcelle's parenting, and the cloffice). After indulging in some 'delicious' GF vegan treats, she invites over another special gift - a deep dive of all things Housewives with return guest Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined"). They put on their fave RHOSLC-style bonnets, and discuss the difficulties and nuances around saying someone is 'performing' for cameras (as both a pejorative and compliment), Angie K.'s recent and meteoric rise, the confusing dynamics between Monica and the rest of the cast post-filming (and the latest theories on Heather's vacation call), a generational divide on Beverly Hills, and more. No matter how you celebrate Thanksgiving and the holiday kickoff, this convo is a gift - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 481!

This season of Southern Charm is truly a Thanksgiving gift - so how better to accompany some gluten free vegan paleo stuffing (....), or cookin dat turkey, or watching the balloons meander down Central Park South, than with this deep dive ep of TIP. Sarah is joined by her pal, a fellow member of Pillow Talk nation, Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the podcast Ruined). They deep dive their unbridled obsession with Craig Conover's emotional, professional, and boyfriend-al growth (and how to weigh that against his, ya know, other stuff), Shep's journey as an emotional maturity Benjamin Button, Olivia and Taylor's flawed friendship foundation, and the joys of watching Austen under the heat of that baked Alaska (and Craig's investigative journalism about New York).
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! Thankful for AGs (and TIPers, which is not yet a thing).

After a weekend-long slumber (Sleeping Beauty needs to give her cackle a break), Sarah awakens to the realization that this is, in fact, Thanksgiving week - and the new Potomac was anything but a turkey. So she invites over one of her Bravoholic besties to the cloff: Tom Smyth (Vulture blogger and writer, whose credits include Vogue, the Cut, and the LA Times). They order takeout from Oz (who needs stuffing when you can get kangaroo sliders, ammiright? I'm not right - don't do that), and deep dive the differences between Ashley and Gizelle's pot stirring (and who is better at the game), why Karen Huger deserves a lifetime appointment to the Housewives Supreme Court, the absolutely mesmerizing game of telephone when it intersects with Nneka and Dr. Wendy's family tree. And, because Andy/Hanukkah Harry has shined upon them, the Salt Lake City reunion seating chart drops mid-record, so they deep dive their reactions (including Monica and Heather's first chair appointments), the difficulty unpacking Monica and her mom's tense dynamics without mentioning a performative layer, the complex dynamics between Heather and Lisa, and yes, some thoughts on Sutton and Kyle. This convo is super-sized, as well it deserves - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 480!

After a magical week in LA, and a cough-heavy return to NY, Sarah realizes the prescription she needs most is not a 25 second electronic bull ride at a Las Vegas dive, but a cough and cackle with her Bravoholic bestie, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They mention it all: relationship intimacy awkwardness between Kyle and Sutton, Kyle and Mo, Guerdy and Larsa, Alexia and Todd, and, of course, Robyn and Juan, the loss of control that Larsa took from Guerdy in sharing her confidences with the group (and whether or not production was involved in that decision), tension around punch lines between Kyle and Sutton in *that* scene, the need for active listening in the exchange between Garcelle and Dorit, and the reasons Potomac’s friendship circle Juantervention was one for the ages. We may not yet know the reason for Heather’s call, but this convo is calling out to be heard - it’s Andy’s Girls, Episode 479!

Sarah wraps up her week in LA by arranging a very special "City of Angels" edition People's (People's) Court. She knows there's only one person with whom to mix and mingle law 101 with a psychology spin: her Bravoholic pal Cesie from the Bravo Docket. They deep dive the legalities behind Housewives storylines (and what the show and audience gets right and...less so), lingering questions around Erika Jayne's legal status, Kyle's New Beginning, BravoCon pits and peaks, and more. California's state slogan is 'Eureka!" and this convo has definitely found it - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 478!

Sarah heads to Los Angeles for a few days of post-Bravocon TLC (Tender Loving Cackle). She realizes the best way to work through her weekend, is with someone with whom she shares many things in common, including a royal title: Dame Brian Moylan (President and Founder of the Real Housewives Institute and author of the New York Times bestseller "The Housewives: The Real Story of the Real Housewives.") They settle into Brian's People's People's Couch (a place Sarah fully intends to take over), and unpack their BravoCon personal highs and lows, Brian's experience moderating the Summer House panel (and his observations of Lindsay and Carl onstage and off), nuanced (differing) takes on the Housewivesian persona used by some audience members during panel Q&As, words of wisdom for future attendees, the omg and wtf moments of the weekend, and what Jeff Lewis got right and wrong in his panel with Andy. Don't tell Tom Sandoval, but his BravoCon neck tattoo was as temporary as some cast member upset - it's Andy's Girls in LA, Episode 477!

Viva Las Vegas! Sarah deep dives her thoughts on BravoCon Day 3, which included the most emotionally intense, and absolutely chaotic, panel moments of the weekend (shoutout Beverly Hills and New Jersey), how different cast members responded to guttural reactions from Bravo fans, the joy of an 84-year-old BravoConlebrity anointed to her throne, the difficulty of watching a former Housewife seemingly play smart and stupid during an ep taping of WWHL (....Teddi Jo), Craig's powerhouse performance at the Southern Charm panel (consistent with this season's eps), and Kelly's surprising update from Bethenny Frankel. Be strong, Sarah's near lack of voice, for she truly mentioned it all - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 476!

The perfect ingredientses for the second day at BravoCon? Emotional vulnerability and extra cackle, duh! Sarah is joined by one of her absolute fave Bravoholic pals, and a NAACP-nominated one at that - Erica Cobb (co-host, "Daily Blast Live," and host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb," a podcast and social media show. They settle into an Uber-sassy hotel suite (as one does), and pod/show swap (video of this convo up shortly!) about conversations with Emily Simpson and Candiace Dillard Bassett that brought Erica and Sarah to tears on day two, the importance of finding nuance (and understanding the ways triggers and projection can sometimes make that an impossible challenge), Bravo's press room strategy (and why podcasts want to finally friend-of), and Erica's exclusive interview with Margaret Josephs about a shocking, seemingly AI-created audio file alleged to feature Marg's voice saying racist slurs, 'surprisingly' dropped on social days before BravoCon and days after Ramona was disinvited. Sounds like a real quagmire, anybody have a PI on call - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 475, live from Vegas and spiritually, Franklin Lakes!

Sarah hits the jackpot: she heads to Las Vegas to cover BravoCon! Recording this late last night, she deep dives the experience of day 1: the ways 2023 already feels energetically different from the first two years, what surprised her the most about the Jeff Lewis-hosted Ask Andy Panel (and the improvised question that truly seemed to piss Andy off), the tension surrounding Carl and Lindsay's first time seeing each other since their breakup (onstage at Summer House), Tom Sandoval's shirtless and confounding 'je ne sais quois' at Vanderpump Rules, the impact of Bethenny's 'reality reckoning' on an audience Q&A, Sarah's potentially surprising decision about the OC Panel (hashtag she stans for Shan), and yes, being fifth row (directly behind the talent section) at the Bravos. A bit of coffee before posting this ep means She Has Risen - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 474!

The much-anticipated Vanity Fair exposé on Bravo just dropped, but who, and what, did it expose? Sarah puts on her writer girl hat, sends Adam out to shop for a sexy salad (helps with all the daily vitamins), and cooks herself an entree: unpacking the greater conversation around a reality reckoning and audience responses to Vanity Fair, the Bethenny binary, the differences between separating and stake-holding, allegations made by Eboni, Leah, and production, the missing pieces from a story around Housewives toxicity, what Bethenny's reality reckoning is missing when it comes to her strained relationship with Andy, and what all of this means for Bravo. Sarah's going to Bravocon, and this ep is like a golden ticket - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 473!

Hot off the heels of Thursday night's Andy's Girls Live (replay tix avail!), Sarah realizes she's nowhere near done unpacking the BH premiere. So she Zooms up one of her podcast pals, Mary-Payne Gilbert (host of the podcast Pink Shade). They mention it all: prepping for Survivor: BravoCon, Erika's search for humility and empathy, mixed messaging online and IRL about Dorit and PK, Mauricio's seeming confusion about the status of his relationship (to his wife and on-camera persona), and more. BH is only one episode in, and this convo could've continued forever - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 472!

Sarah watches the RHOBH premiere (and an honestly fascinating WWHL), and is immediately inspired. So she rushes to the cloff to record an urgent ep. She discusses a seeming shift in energy (and visual aesthetic), Kyle's search for inner independence (and a truly off-kilter Mo), the impact of Garcelle's nuanced conversation with her sons about parenting/needs, performative sisterhood, and what on earth is going on with PK and Dorit.

Overwhelmed with emotion after watching the first part of the RHONY reunion, Sarah realizes the best kind of energy to enjoy is someone equal parts ASMR and calm. So, she sends out a Bravoholic bat signal to parts unknown (shoutout Texas!), and is delighted when her Bravo content creator pal, Dana Omari-Harrell (@IGFamousByDana) immediately flies to the cloffice for an epic deep dive. They discuss whether Housewives can have an expectation of privacy regarding their romantic lives (and boundaries around filming Housewives' kids), the ways Bravoleb plastic surgery is discussed/critiqued by the audience (and Andy), the connective value of understanding complicated relationships between cast members and their parents, and the gender politics around how Jessel and Pavit's sex life (and levels of intimacy) were discussed by the rest of the cast. Jessel probably moved to NYC to film the show, and American Airlines should give Pavit extra miles for that blessed trip - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 470!

Talking about "The Morning Show" lasts all night. There's just so, so much to unpack. Luckily, Sarah is joined by the Laura to her Bradley (no), the Jon to her Jen (absolutely), and the Corey to her Cheshire Cat grin, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They mention it all: the evolution of viewing experience from hate watch to 'huh, this is...nice? Where am I and why is Reese still there," forgetting that a plot point took place in space (the sky is full of stars, much like Jon Hamm), what a show ostensibly centered around news production needed to learn from "Broadcast News" and absolutely did not, and, of course, justice for Karen Pittman.
Inspired by Angie K's Greek Easter invite, Sarah asks a SLC production assistant to put on a bunny costume from Party City circa 1974 and invite her Bravo bestie to record an ep. Unfortunately the bunny does not have keys to his apt, but thankfully the door to the cloffice is open to all, especially Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss which Housewives franchise panel they plan to skip at BravoCon, the conflict between Monica's "inner child" and triggering behavior from her mom, similarities between Linda and Mama Joyce, how the 4th wall is impacting Angie K.'s upset toward Monica, and tension between Heather and Lisa's experiences and identities as Mormons. Mary's son said "I do," and this convo is worthy of vows - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 469!

Come one, come all! Inspired and energized by Southern Charm's wild season, Sarah invites AG guest co-host Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "Ruined") to mention it all. They deep dive the true definition of "hooking up," the ways Craig and Paige have become The Voice of the People, the toxic underbelly of Shep's plea/decree that the dinner party from fowl hell is "a place of joy," Austen's continued charm (sorry, height) and the power dynamics at play that likely impacted his kiss with Taylor, and Olivia's newfound voice. Consider this an epic lesson in boy math, which only Craig knows how to solve.

Inspired by Brynn's bday wish for people to share lists of grievances, and the greatest gift of all (Salt Lake's mid-season trailer), Sarah makes her own half-birthday gift: another AG classic in the cloff, with one of her fave Bravo pals, Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, and cohost of the pod "Ruined"). They settle in a soup vs. sandwich debate, and then deep dive suspicions of Monica's involvement in Heather's mid-vacation shocker phone call, mixed opinions on Angie K.'s performance, Heather's confusion about how Jack's mission was received by Whitney, Meredith's rühmehr route, whether Sai's "cool girl" energy is a dynamic that fits within New New York, a "systematic bullying" vibe that comes at the cost of overall storytelling (and a missing ingredient: NYC), the difference between withholding aspects of your life vs. having a front-facing withholding sensibility, and more. Pavvit has Sarah's heart, and so does this convo - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 468!

Sarah realizes she needs an extra dose of TLC: Tender Loving Cackle. So she sends an urgent cloffice Google Cal to one of her Bravo pods, who flies from CA just for this recording: Ryan Bailey (pop culture commentator and host of the pod "So Good It's Bad with Ryan Bailey," presented by Betches). They settle into the cloff with some decaf tea (all the better to spill), and discuss the ways Bravo/escapism/community can help during extremely upsetting times, the nature of compounded grief, Shan's growth about her divorce while seemingly repeating patterns with John, misdirected anger toward Heather Dubrow, which rumors (rümuhrz) Meredith shared about Angie and her hubs, a possibly-surprising opinion about Jenna's future on RHONY, and Jessel's devoted audience support. Consider this an hour-long respite from the world, unless the world also cackles and snorts every 10 seconds, in which case, kadooze to you - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 467!

Sarah wakes from her cold med-induced slumber - possibly inspired by the chill between Shan and Gina, TBD - and sneezes a deep dive into fruition, with the true medical provider of sass whose copay is extra cackle: Dr. Damian Bellino (writer, producer, co-host of the pod "You Might Know Her From, and OG of the AG). They settle into a girl-in-the-plastic-bubble style Zoom kiki, and discuss what Housewives "friendships" mean from casting through crises, Shan's unfortunate missteps during the reunion (and what her friendship with Tamra might mean behind the scenes), Jenna's end-goal on RHONY and whether Brynn's flirtation crosses a queer baiting line, Sai's lack of empathy toward Jessel (but not the clock), and Salt Lake City's continued Disney Fantasia.

Tardy for the Party, Chic C'est La Vie, Fly Above, all the greats are included. And what better theme for AG Classic than inviting this return guest back for another zesty Zoom kiki than Kiki herself, The Talk of Shame's Kiki Monique. They settle into the spiritual cloff (East Coast/West Coast are fully represented), and discuss a status check on new New York and Erin and Ubah, Taylor's future career in mukbang, whether Gina and Emily's animus for Heather is consistent on camera versus off, Shannon's creative math business strategy for the Sitalonic, who wins the Worst Boyfriend award between John Janssen and Ryan, and Monica's similarities to OG Brandi Glanville.

So she invites over writer and NYC rainfall survivor, Tom Smyth. They settle into the cloff, and discuss Meredith's Ron Swanson energy, Monica's criticism of Lisa's 60k ring (and what it represents), Whitney's failed job as mediator between, truly, anyone, the moment of connection between Heather Dubrow and Emily stemming from conversation about their childhoods, Tamra's control of the narrative, Gina's confusing discrepancies about her trust for Heather vs. Tamra, and their strained relationships with Bethenny Now.

She realizes a true Scary Island would be not speaking about the new ep, and Zooms up one of her fave (Kim Richards voice) "Daily Beasts," Kevin Fallon (editor of the Daily Beast Obsessed, a pop culture website). They settle into the People's People's Couch's People's Court for a, shall we say, spicy convo that includes differing opinions on Erin v. Ubah's upset, the complicated history around tropes that work to silence/criticize Black women's feelings, whether the hot tub time machine was a moment of hashtag systematic bullying or a water treatment of accountability, sighs about Sai, the ways reactions and overreactions are received and judged, Erin's potentially strategic tears, an inconsistent use of grace, and the ways that cancel culture impacts Bravo discourse (and personalities).

Sarah celebrates the High Holidays with a mazel of the day: inviting RHONJ star, lawyer, and author Jackie Goldschneider over to the cloffice, where they discuss her new book, The Weight of Beautiful, and of course, her experiences as a New Jersey Real Housewife.
They truly mentioned it all: the nuanced use of "recovery" when talking about eating disorders, Bravo's role in Jackie's treatment and recovery (and yes, rumors about Jackie’s friendships with Teresa and Marg), how control impacts sharing vulnerability on a public platform, a misconception that EDs include a beginning, middle, and end, how an obsession with weight loss injections has brought back a renewed focus on "thin" and weight loss as a competition (including in the NJ cast), trauma as a connective thread, and finding a way back to light.

"I've been traveling, I've been to prison." A perfect line delivery by Luann de Lesseps, one Shannon Storms Beador can unfortunately more fully appreciate. Capping off a wild, wild, day with all the highs and lows one can associate with being a Shan stan, Sarah realizes she really needs some light. And ribald humor. And sass. The perfect ingredient to brighten the cloff? Sarah's Bravo bestie, of course - Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They settle in for a seltzer spritz and discuss perceptions of Shannon's relationship with alcohol, John, and herself, the challenge of recognizing coping mechanisms that have become foundational, and updates from Shan's lawyer, Bravoleb friend (s/o JLL Chumps!). And oh yes, other things too: the definition of a Wifetime Achievement Award (and the connection Vicki now shares with Clint Howard), examining Gina's performance on Housewives through an updated lens, Erin and Sai's upset toward Jessel, and yes a bit of a debate about the definition of a prank.

Hashtag this is too Real for Real. News broke today that Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Storms Beador was allegedly arrested for DUI alcohol and hit-and-run late Saturday night. And as a Shan stan, Sarah had a few triage-style thoughts. On Shan, Archie, Gina, John, Sarah is truly mentioning it all - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 457.
Update following recording: Shannon Beador's lawyer, Michael Fell tells TMZ ... "I spent quite a bit of time with Shannon yesterday. She is extremely apologetic and remorseful. We will be awaiting the official information on this case as it becomes available, and Shannon is prepared to accept full responsibility for her actions."

Shana Tova, Friends of Jill! Sarah celebrates the Jewish New Year by dipping RHONY apples into honey (talk about sweet New Beginnings). She realizes the best resolution to have is to be real - and who better to AG Kiki with than Evan Real (senior TV reporter, PageSix.com, and co-host of the pod Virtual Realitea). They discuss the similarities in storyline and character critiques on The Hills and Vanderpump Rules, the astrology and psychology behind Lindsay and Carl's breakup, Tamra and Jen's continued war of words about Ryan, possible toxic power dynamics between Shannon and John, the refreshing change in friendship dynamics on Salt Lake, beginning with Lisa and Meredith, and Monica's fresh-air introduction to the franchise (while being connected to Jen).

Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou Romeo? Tampa, prob. After watching the...shall we say, confounding, reunion finale for Atlanta, Sarah looks for one of the remaining peaches Drew brought to set as a prop. She realizes it's past its expiration date (kind of like this season) and instead Zooms up someone with the freshest takes on all things Housewives (maybe Sherée should skip this one), New York Times best-selling author, Michael Arceneaux (I Can't Date Jesus, I Don't Want to Die Poor). They settle into their respective Zoom windows (shoutout muscle relaxers and prayer), and deep dive the disconcerting narrative around Drew's sexuality, Ralph's continued emotional manipulation about and toward his wife (and truly odd energy with his 'cousin' Courtney), Kenya's powerhouse aside (and Ralph's unsuccessful effort to shame her into silence), and the wildest part of the reunion (surprisingly, not Drew's scene-into-song). Meanwhile, RHONY once again pulled through, and Sarah and Michael mentioned it all: the difference between sharing vulnerability and emotion, the connection between Jenna's childhood-into-adulthood circumstances and her reluctance to engage in some group dialogue, Jessel's definition of privilege, and Brynn's misplaced upset about Jenna's name reveal.

They discuss continued speculation about Carl and Lindsay's breakup (and the complicated dynamics in relation to addiction recovery on reality TV), why Heather Dubrow's display of wealth is not at the core of cast upset, Shannon's toxic togetherness with David and John, Heather Gay's diminished credibility, why a fight about bathtub PDA is reminiscent of classic RHONY, and the concerning financial education Kim is teaching her kids before and during her split from Kroy.

And the lord said, Lo - not you Bosworth, the other meaning of the word - I shall pass on to thee season 4 of Salt Lake City, and anoint you, dear viewers, to tell the tale of everyone not named Shah. And the people said, yay-ish. Sarah receives the biblical scroll also known as RHOSLC's season opener, and feels the need to spread the good word. And some of those words? Perhaps not only good. But hopeful! She deep dives the ways to understand a previously idealized Housewife as one living her life in a complicated but human parallel (Heather, ahem), the possibly-forced hope placed upon Housewife friendships that seemed truly beyond repair at/after the reunion (Heather and Lisa, Heather and Whitney, Meredith and Whitney, Meredith and Lisa, Sarah and Heather, Jen Shah and the Secret Service), Mary's complicated return (in all the ways), Monica's Jen Aydin energy, and yes, oh yes, Angie K's biblically bad style.

What better way to mark Labor Day than appreciating a guest for doing some heavy lifting. Inspired by a RHONY ep all about taking flight (of fancy, and sass), Sarah books a steerage ticket with multiple stops en route to the Real Housewives Institute. While there, she Zooms up Founder and President (and the New York Times bestselling author of The Housewives: The Real Story of the Real Housewives), Dame Brian Moylan. They settle into row 53, and buckle up for a bumpy ride (only when discussing Kim Zolciak-Biermann-Zolciak Again, bless). Among this journey: deep diving possible reasons behind a continued animus for Emily and Gina, what to do with Atlanta's present and future (and why the cast need not carry the brunt of the critique), whether a few return OGs could help re-focus the franchise, the othering of Jenna from the rest of her RHONY cast, an unfortunate equalization of Jenna's health condition with her interest in flying in a premium section (and the minimization of her expressed feelings through positivity instead of active listening), and which RHONY may be in for a rude awakening between self-perception and audience critique.

There have been several historic moments in AG's recording history: when the spirit of Bobby Zarin turned off the electricity in Sarah's apt; when breaking news confirmed the death of Dennis Shields; when Scandoval broke. And lo, another shocker hath arrived: when Sarah and Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo find out mid-recording that betrothed Summer House stars Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard have ended their engagement. A deactivation mere weeks after her bridal shower. And not a sandwich could be found. Instead, this episode is quite a dish: reactions in the moment to Carl and Lindsay's shocking split, the difficulty navigating moments of vulnerability in public, let alone with a partner who is also in the cast, and what this means for the show. And speaking of shows: Shan! They deep dive this week's RHOC: Heather's continued tension with everyone not named Terry Dubrow, the contradictory spin around Shannon's CPS 'reveal' (and why Emily's counter was so key), and the mutual mistrust between Shan and Gina underneath their battle royale.

Just a couple New Yorkers, trying to find Hoboken on a map. Sarah runs to the cloffice armed with dirty laundry (Ralph's BS, and socks), and realizes there's only one person with whom she wants to deep dive: eternal NYC treasure, and a Bravoholic pal, Christine Biancavilla. Sarah charges her a roll of quarters to enter the cloff, where they deep dive Ralph's intrinsic disinterest in his wife, Courtney's work as a friend-of (to Ralph and Ralph alone), how to process stakes when discussing Drew, Jessel Taank, a RHONY treasure (regardless of how long she's actually lived in New York), whether Erin was overreacting to Sai's appetite for honesty and Nobu, Brynn's flirting with Abe, and how on earth a Real Housewife could fly coach.

Tonight is Atlanta's season finale, and with the reunion trailer just released, Sarah realizes she needs an expert to discuss which peaches are fresh (and why this season feels stale). So she Zooms up one of her Bravoholic pals, news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert, Richie Skye. They discuss processing forms of trauma as entertainment, what a shocking Rolling Stone exposé on Below Deck says about the ways toxic men are protected, their reactions to the Atlanta reunion trailer (and how to calibrate stakes when discussing Drew and Ralph), a possibly-surprising comparison between RHOA and Married to Medicine, and the difficulties in critiquing a Housewife for not having a "storyline."

When life hands you lemons, put 9 contract extensions in a bowl for Shan. Inspired by another triumphant episode for Sarah's broken bird queen, she invites Bravoholic pal and writer girl Tom Smyth to the cloffice, in order to fully unpack all things Orange County and more. Before that happens, however, they had to react to the And Just Like That Finale (spoiler alert!), what Mary's return to Salt Lake means for friends-of the world over, and yes, oh yes, so much about Shan. Orange County giveth and giveth more: Shan's definition of friendship as a selectively silent vessel and her spiritual kinship with Valerie Cherish, what's really underneath Emily and Heather's upset (and Tamra's slowly building narrative against Madame Chateau Dubrow), what Gina's boundaries re-set says about the sometimes-performative nature of Housewives friendships, and a connection between Heather's shocking reveal about John Janssen's interest in the limelight and the difference between privacy and control.

Desperado for a Bethenny news blackout after last week, Sarah attends a 24-hour silent retreat, where she almost achieves Zen until her spidey senses tingle and she realizes that yes, Bethenny Ann is now unloading on commentors on IG and releasing yet another Scandoval ep. So she finds TLC by breaking it down with one of her besties, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of Mention it All, and creator of Bravo By Betches). They settle into the cloff to discuss Bethenny's disconcerting narrative with one person's truth vs fact, Jessel's focus on opportunity for her kids' education (access to fancypants adults), why Erin's sister was attempting to produce the rest of the cast (a spectacular failure, god bless), Brynn's reality TV birthright (the woman was meant to be on RHONY), and what on earth is going to happen to RHUGT 4 (amid a Bravocon clue). Diamonds are a girl's best friend, and this convo is a sparkler - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 447!

Watch What Happens Five is on hiatus, and AG Classic is readying for its crown! Continuing a record-breaking week of episode drops, Sarah decides to BReal - with a return to form, an episode that yes, includes some Bethenny/Rachel discourse, but also so much more. And who better to join her for a New Beginning than a new guest, Bravoholic, social media manager, and "Twitter gay" (we love a brand ID), Jarett Wieselman. They settle into a AG Zoom kiki and discuss the process of osmosis for Housewives and perception vs. reality brand identity, the trust fall exercise around vulnerability sharing, Sanya and Drew's complicated dynamics with their sisters, Kenya's "Defining Gravity" sea change/reveal, whether to internally compartmentalize or combine OG RHONY with New New York, Shannon's (romantic panic) Family Feud, and what Bethenny is getting wrong about Andy, Sandoval, Graham, VPR, and the reality reckoning equilibrium. Sarah needs a nap, so please tell Chris Manzo to stop by at four - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 446!

It's the home stretch and Sarah's bewildered that she has actually made it to the end. Consider this the final part of the holy trinity - the final (for now) chapter in Bethenny's storied interview with Rachel Leviss. Sarah mentions it all, with gusto (that might be the mocha frap): Bethenny's possible motivations for focusing network/employer responsibility repeatedly on Andy's shoulders, the differences between a PSA and media campaign, what Bethenny and Rachel get wrong about HIPAA (and why that matters when considering Bethenny's plans), the unfortunate choice to focus on one dog over another, and what Kelly Bensimon (and Carole, Sonja, Dorinda, Ramona, and Luann) might think about Bethenny's assessment of a drawn line in the sand.

Sarah dreams of an alternate universe when she can go five seconds without a life disruption from Bethenny Ann. But until that moment happens in time, she spends an hour or six unpacking part two of Bethenny's 15-part sit down with Rachel Leviss. Sarah mentions it all, with some extra zest (trademark pending for an upcoming Skinnygirl flavor). She discusses an a-ha moment relating to Bethenny's interview strategy (and what that means for Bethenny's reality reckoning campaign, Rachel, and her cast), Rachel's explosive allegations against Sandoval and the network (and Bravo's response), a therapeutic critique of one of the more staggering moments in the convo (when Bethenny reads back to Rachel what members of the cast have said), and sight-specific reflections of grace.

Bethenny dropped a bombshell: and Sarah had some thoughts. After listening to both Bethenny's Reality Wreckoning and Rachel Leviss surprise drops, Sarah mentions it all, in unpacking what's discussed: the similarities and differences between Sandoval's interview with Howie Mandel and Rachel/Raquel's choice to BStrong, the ways Ariana needed to be held more accountable in both Bethenny and Rachel's eyes than Sandoval (and the ways gender politics played into both their argument and the result), how Andy factored in to Bethenny's through-line of complicit behavior, and an interest in exposing 'performative friendship' as the exact opposite (at least for people who've watched more than the reunion eps, ahem ahem). This is a crisis, so BStrong - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 443!

Sarah watches Jenna Lyons IG Story auction off some of her fashion treasures on the RHONY and immediately starts to build a DeLorean from Back to the Future in order to buy half a sequined skirt. After Marty McFly tells her to try Poshmark instead, Sarah realizes another fave ensemble is an ensemble pod, one joined by her Housewives fan and friend, Alison Leiby (comedian, writer, and cohost of the podcast Ruined). They settle into another fashion destination - the cloffice, obvs - and discuss confusing levels of transparency in Bethenny's unionization drive, Orange County's continued triumph (a universe that's blessedly 5 years behind), Jessel's accidental genius, differing opinions on Erin's alpha energy and how perceived desirability may have influenced her "cackling hags" response, whether single Housewives like Brynn are infantilized by married members of the cast, reasons why RHONY is the true inverse of Salt Lake, and what two New Yorkers really think about TriBeCa.

Undeterred after her emails, calls, and Change.org petitions are left on read, she limbers up for an Olympic level deep dive alongside drag artist, YouTuber, and fellow Housewives athlete, Ryan Houlihan. They discuss the differences in emotional labor expectations between Shannon and Emily’s significant others, The Slade Smiley Accord (wanting a partner who is supportive of a Housewife's career without wanting to be center stage), the impact of gender politics on Shannon and John's relationship, Heather and Tamra's differing motivations in how they discuss Shannon and John, and oh yes, reactions to the RHOSLC trailer (and the disadvantage of being perceived/celebrated as a "grounded" Housewife).

So what better way to celebrate a true New Beginning than with an epic deep dive, thanks to someone who is always happy to mention it all, content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They put various greenery and branches around their computer screens (inspired by Sai's tablescape, obvs), and discuss Brynn’s strength and vulnerability (and boundaries set in her producer confessional between discussing circumstance vs. hurt), a convo around imposter syndrome inspired by Ubah's concern about seeking investors, Jenna's "sensible humanity," and how projection vs. performance might impact Jessel's behavior.

And better yet, one with a location befitting Ladies of London. So she Zooms up writer and British Bravoholic Louis Staples, and they unpack whether the allegations against Bravo humanize reality TV stars typically caricatured, deepening opinions on Jessel, the difference in how Americans and Brits discuss class, money, and access (inspired by Sai and Brynn's conversation), another failed attempt to make Ryan appear mature, Heather's possible crisis of confidence and identity crossroads, and oh yes, Shan.

Inspired by the many many news alerts across the Bravo land, Sarah Zooms up one of her fave entertainment journalists, the Barbara Walters of Housewifery, Brice Sander (Chief Housewives correspondent at Entertainment Tonight). They discuss the difficult lesson Shannon is learning about the Streisand Effect, the definition of what makes a Housewife a "star," the difference between focusing on optics vs. behavior (bcc: Jen), and Heather's uncertain future.

Sarah receives a text message from Ralph, letting her know he doesn't appreciate what she's been saying about - oh wait, he got a digit wrong from her cell. Off to copy/paste for Marlo! Relieved to avoid any long-form about Ralph and Drew's marriage, Sarah does some vocal warm-ups to get ready to: long-form about Ralph and Drew's marriage. And who better to deep dive the ins and outs of all things Housewifery than Kara Berry (not Katy Perry!), host of the podcast "Everyone's Business But Mine." Sarah and Kara (say that five times fast) discuss the toxic cycle when a Housewife tries to convince her cast (and audience) that her partner isn't the devil incarnate (BCC, Lenny and Lisa, Jen and Ryan, and, you guessed it, Drew and Ralph). They also unpack a cast repositioning of Jenna's vulnerability as a sign of elitism, whether Jessel was looking at the 'sexiness' of her gifted lingerie through the male gaze (and why Uba's understanding was so key), the origin story of Sai's chameleon-esque ability which was based out of survival, and a conversation on how women dress through the lens of gender, identity, and sexuality (inspired by Jenna's comments).

Amazed by such an esteemed and very real tribute, she runs back to the cloffice to deep dive with one of her fave Kens, Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the podcast Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss the power of women-focused storytelling in cinema aka BravoTV.com, what Bethenny's union organizing needs to include (the Milokksy clause), the impact of Kandi's worldwide cancellation policy on RHOA filming, and the bright, bright light that is Tamra v. Jen and Heather v. Gina. No matter who your spiritual Housewife is, this convo will make top 5 - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 435!

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood: when RHOC continues to serve. Sarah watches the new ep and slow jogs - ok, crawls, TYSM back injury acting up - to the cloff. After attempting to order Nobu on Uber Eats (where is the 'leftover food the cast never eats' section and is there a FancyPants promo code?), Sarah Zooms up a Bravoholic pal ready to mention it all: Jackelyn Shultz (producer and podcaster whose credits include the 'Howie Mandel Does Stuff' podcast with her dad, Howie “Future Bravo Viewer” Mandel). They deep dive the impact of reality TV on Housewives marriages (and the expectation of performing happiness on the show and off), Tamra's capacity for loyalty to 'friends' in the cast vs. the show and its audience, Gina's polarizing persona, the myriad ways to define/value/call out a Housewife as problematic, and what parts of the Howie and Lala convo were left on the cutting room floor (hint: it's about Tom).

The RHONY premiere has finally arrived: it's Turtle Time! Inspired by a strong first ep, Sarah runs to the cloff (Jenna Lyons, you are cordially invited) to mention it all with a Zoom kiki for the ages. And of course there was one person with whom she had to deep dive, her date for the RHONY premiere party and a fellow New Yorker dame, Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, podcaster, and owner of PipeDreams.fun). They discuss the new energy on RHONY as a re-set for the franchise, the ways fighting about cheese and Catch are a true return to form for cast fighting, the introduction of alliances between Erin v.

They join hands and discuss a Bravoholic's understanding of the Kübler-Ross model of the five stages of grief, the uncertain future of RHOA casting (and why Sarah lives in a town called Hope), and the ways Tamra Judge has created a world of upside down for the rest of her cast (blessed be).

They deep dive like never before, unpacking if the Original Sin for Teresa about Melissa joining RHONJ could be potentially resolved, Evan's day with the cast of RHOC (including group side eye about Ryan), the ways betrayal and trauma may have impacted Gina's reaction to Jennifer's emotional affair (and upset around reactions from the rest of the cast), and the missing piece in weighing the impact of an emotional vs. physical affair.

She's met with a moment of breathy silence, before being asked if she wants to buy a stockpile of Fabellini pizza ovens - because who needs a margarita pizza when you can have bellini instead.

They settle into the cloffice for a zesty and spirited deep dive of how Pump Rules and RHONJ might adapt to cast members refusing to film with each other, the ways conversation about Teresa often infantilizes her (and why agency is key), and the level of reality vs reality tv behind Marlo v. Kandi and Shan v. Tamra. This episode covers the Housewives triple crown (talking about all three shows currently on tv), and it's good as gold - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 424!

They discuss what Sandoval's response to a lack of control has revealed about his internal life, the complicated dynamics of which truth is believed between Teresa and Melissa, and why Tamra made her triumphant return to OC with more upset towrd Shan than Heather. When life hands you lemons, listen to this episode nine times - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 422!

There's Something About Her. And her. And her. And her. After watching the much anticipated Vanderpump Rules reunion finale, Sarah realizes there's one way to work through all of the secrets revealed - with an epic Shan-style Core Four special episode: a powerhouse panel that passes the Bechdel test (one of many Sandoval would fail). Justice is SURved with friends-of Kiki Monique aka The Talk of Shame (professional talker, social media journalist and CEO of deep dives), Emily D. Baker (the internet's go-to legal analyst and host of the podcast "The Emily Show"), and Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo (Bravo content creator extraordinaire). They discuss Sandoval's love language with Ariana and Raquel (emotional manipulation meets Jerry Maguire), reactions to the "t-shirt" statement currently burned in America's brain, the ways Sandoval and Raquel saw Ariana as a vessel for projection, the complicated connection Raquel made with independence and an affair, responding to critiques around Ariana's successful monetization, and a surprising reason why that final confessional may have occurred. These women are good as gold, so send it to Darrell - it's an Andy's Girls special episode, aka 421!

This is a doozy. Sarah is joined by Dylan Hafer (director of social for entertainment at Betches Media, host of the podcast Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches), to unpack the unfortunate series premiere of "The Idol," on Max (there is no HBO to be found amidst this chaos). They discuss the history of the show's troubled production, the ways Sam Levinson and Abel "The Weekend" Tesfaye rejected the show's original premise - and director - as too driven by a woman's perspective, and the difference in execution between "The Idol's" overhauled storyline and Levinson's hit series "Euphoria."

Hot off the heels of the Pump Rules reunion finale, Sarah records an urgent care (because we urgently! care!) deep dive of her conversation with Lala at Bravo's NYC viewing party, reaction to the uber-hyped last five minutes of the reunion, thoughts on why she is one of the many women in America who, as Andy predicted, hates Sandoval, and questions about where Raquel goes from here (and if it will be with Tom). There's Something About Her - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 420! (Don't tell Marg.)

Equal parts inspired and unnerved by part 2 of the RHONJ reunion, Sarah records an emergency 90-min (LOL) deep dive to unpack RHONJ: a lesson in crime and punishment. Or rather, it's not about the crime, but the coverup. Or rather, what are these dark arts in private investigating, and how do we never sign up? Sarah discusses the differences between assumption and evidence pertaining many allegations of foul play and upset amongst the cast, updates to the release of information about the Melissa cheating rumors that now counteract season-long storylines, the difference between "spoofing" and potential harassment, and why empathy for Teresa can still exist for those who lean more on Melissa/Joe's side (or, ya know, not). All that and computer talk, thanks to friend-of Google dot com - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 419!

Extra! Extra! (Sarah's being...extra.) Inspired by one of many long form pieces on Scandoval and Bravo, Sarah puts down her VHS cassette tape of the Carol Burnett Show (to see which draperies best inspired some of VPR's previous reunion looks), and Zooms up another Variety extravaganza, Kate Aurthur (Variety's Editor-at-Large). They settle into the People's People's NYC-LA couch, and discuss the process of pre-writing a Housewife's exit before it's been announced, Kate's conversation with Andy about the Scandoval/future of VPR, whether Alex Baskin regrets his varsity-level hype of the Part 3 reveal (and WTF it could actually be!), the tricky baseline around Sandoval's character, and Raquel's level of 'awareness' on and off camera. The Part 3 Pump Rules reunion reveal is this: it has something to do with something, but this convo is everything - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 418!

The lord giveth, and the lord taketh away. Following an *impeccable* series finale of Succession (aka Sarah's #1 show, apologies to Manzo'd with Children), Sarah sits down with another superfan to deep dive the multilayered WTF final ep: Sami Sage (cofounder and chief creative officer, Betches Media, and host of the Morning Announcements podcast. They discuss the groundswell of online critique against Shiv's vote (and why that same fervor hasn't applied to Kendall as well), why an outsider position helped Tom in all the ways it held him back before Logan's passing, and what the show's producing/directing heads have discussed about Shiv, Kendall, and Roman's lives after cameras went down (hint: it's not a happy ending).

Wow, Pump Rules, wow. After yet another episode of VPR Masterpiece Theatre, Sarah's cold is magically cured (not quite, but she internalized sniffles like Raquel did everything else). Inspired by Bravo's cinematic arts, Sarah invites a new guest to the People's People's Couch for an epic deep dive: Sami Sage (cofounder and chief creative officer, Betches Media, and host of the Morning Announcements pod). They settle into the cloff and discuss what Tom is getting so deeply wrong about standing as the victim of his own affair, Raquel's narrative centering the affair as a sign of emotional growth and independence, the devastating vulnerability Scheana shared as one of the many friends betrayed by Tom and Raquel, the problematic way James' behavior was used as a tool of distraction/shame by Sandoval, and Sandoval's work to manipulative the affair's origin story in front of the cameras.

Not even a deadly cold will keep Sarah away from unpacking the NJ reunion kick-off. So after waking from a 48-hour light coma (which included a dream about, you guessed it, the Toms), Sarah moves closer in convo to Toms River, aka Tre vs. Melissa: Endgame. She discusses Luis' on-camera motivations as a distraction from a deeper dive, revisionist history Teresa is now proclaiming as fact, and why convo around the kids (including off camera), is deepening a cast divide. Namaste, go away, to Sarah's deepening sneeze - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 416! (Achoo!)

My cardsssssah! After watching part one of the already-historic Vanderpump Rules reunion, Sarah realizes the only way to process the 15 different dimensions of what was expressed is a (roughly)15-hour episode. With someone who is, truly, good as gold: Tracie Morrissey (writer, podcaster on "Pot Psychology" and owner of pipedreams.fun). They discuss Sandoval's strategic invalidation of his friendship with James and Scheana, a re-analysis of Katie and Schwartz' relationship and pre-Scandoval critiques, Ariana's shocking reveal about Sandoval's manipulative use of her mental health to offset critique, the Toms' consistent upset when women push back, and Raquel's motivations on and off camera. It's not the NJ convo was kept to the end per se, cloffice production said it needed to be 100 yards away - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 415!
TW: this episode includes references to suicide, suicidal ideation, and self harm, while discussing the reunion and some of Tom's allegations.

"If it is to be said, so it be, so it is." As Greg so beautifully noted - probably while footstooling - today marks a Ramotional New Beginning in the history of AG's sassy social experiment: the premiere episode of "Taking it Personally!" TIP continues the kinds of conversations Sarah loves to have about Housewives: unpacking the psychology and community behind some of her favorite shows. And of course, she needed to deep dive her #1 GOAT: Succession. So she Zooms up one of her fave Bravoholic besties, content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo, to discuss Logan's use of affection toward his children as both family currency and business strategy, whether Roman's breakdown was inevitable regardless of Ewan's remarks, the ways a death of innocence (and an innocent's death) became the framework of every season finale (and the show itself), and Marcia's surprising moment of emotional support for Kerry. You can't make a Tomlette without breaking some Greggs, and Shiv is a master chef - it's Taking it Personally, the premiere ep!

Sarah Googles her astrological chart, only to realize she's a Rising "Season 25: Oprah Winfrey Behind the Scenes." After sighing with relief - it just makes so much sense! - she heads into the cloffice to Zoom with someone who has a bit of experience on that show and, ya know, a few dozen others: mega producer and podcaster, Carlos King ("Reality with the King," "Belle Collective," "Love & Marriage" franchise, and of course RHOA and RHONJ). They deep dive the selective and strategic withholding of secrets on Potomac and RHONJ, whether Teresa's defensiveness about Luis is possibly connected to a trauma response from Juicy Joe/camp, whether Mama Joyce and Todd will ever get along, and what the RHOA cast is getting right - and wrong - about Martell.

Somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this. Just call it Tom Sandoval's non-apology tour. After watching the Pump Rules finale, Sarah calls up her Bravo BFF, content creator and truth sayer Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo, and invites her to the People's People's Couch for a rewatch and deep dive. Yes, they began recording this episode at 2am, flying by the seat of their pants (spiritually, of course - Sarah was in a robe). They unpack Ariana's magnificent expression of rage as a rallying cry for countless women watching, Sandoval's attempt to weaponize Ariana's anger against herself, the breakdown of Sandoval and Schwartz's Toxic Adorability Complex, Raquel's Notebook-style romanticization of her affair with Sandoval (and why Ariana believes they haven't broken up, as earlier reported), and the difference in what the Toms vs their exes believe they deserve. Tom's style may have been inspired by Charmed, but his luck may be running out - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 413!

Sarah goes to Sandoval's concert in NYC (#writergirl #theultimatesacrifice) and spends the next several days trying to recover from what was a memory burned into her psyche - until she watches the newest VPR, and is plunged deeper into the rage abyss. After taking a series of cold showers and putting up a vision board comprised of the Something About Her greek salad wrap (you know Queen Ariana is gonna have gluten free!), Sarah realizes the best way to recover is to deep dive with someone who has mentioned it all on all things Scandoval, friend of the pod Ryan Bailey ("So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey"). After trying to figure out how quickly Raquel's $700 gold necklace will turn green with envy, they discuss Sandoval's history of asserting power by raging out against women, Raquel's disturbing use of Ariana's history of body and relationship insecurities in order to extract information pertinent to her affair, Schwartz' active disinterest in defending and protecting his mother-in-law against his best friend's attacks, and what Season 11 might look like if the cast stays intact.

And who better to break it all down than one of Sarah's fave return guests, a star in his own right, Michael Arceneaux (New York Times bestselling author, whose credits include "I Can't Date Jesus" and "I Don't Want to Die Poor.").

Sarah watches the classic movie "Witness," and tells Harrison Ford that this will happen again in about 40 years with a cast member on VPR. So she Zooms up another witness to a horrible crime (Sandoval's interview with Howie Mandel), Jackelyn Shultz (producer and podcaster, whose credits include "Howie Mandel Does Stuff," which she hosts with her dad). They discuss the fallout from the Howie interview (and the reason why there wasn't a counter to Sandoval's ever-shifting narrative), a manipulative use of couples therapy in Tom's storytelling, why the Scandoval nearly cost Ariana Something About Her, Tom's possible use of a loan as a form of self preservation, and yes, why an 80 min monologue from Sandoval is probably the most revealing window into who he is.

They settle into their London/NYC thrones, and throw down on unpacking the 3D chess of living one's life IRL and on reality TV, whether previous story planting influenced the Pump Rules cast's initial disbelief about an affair between Sandoval and Raquel, the discomfort and opportunity of accepting many truths at once about Raquel, and why Brian wants to see Tre's love bubble popped.

They settle into the cloffice (a place that doesn't allow any other meaning of the word), and discuss a shared appreciation for the Tre v.

She then takes to the cloff for a deep dive of perhaps the only sit-down Sandoval will give for a min (#bless), and unpacks the weaponization of truth when it doesn't fit Tom's narrative, the concerning ways "openness about mental health" became about sharing - and repackaging - Ariana's mental health as reason for Tom and Raquel's affair, why Raquel's press statement about a "voluntary facility" is a confusing use of language, and what the latest Louie video circulating on social media means for Tre and Louie's strategy at the RHONJ reunion.

They discuss the importance of platonic love (and why the betrayal of a friend might cut deeper for some women), Ariana's second act (and the ways Sandoval is crediting himself with her success), and whether reinforcing the 4th wall helped deepen Teresa and Joe's family fracture.

Waking up in the morning, thinking about so many things. In celebration of AG's 400th episode, Sarah crosses a few items off her list: winning the Powerball, getting a rent reduction on next year's cloffice lease (LOL), and yes, receiving an AG kiki RSVP from (NBD NBD) Christopher Middle Name Manzo (a familiar face from RHONJ and Manzo'd with Children, host of the new podcast Christory, and friend-of, family style, on Caroline Manzo's cooking show "Food, Love, & Chaos" and the podcast Dear Albie). After calming herself with whatever Vicki took before that post-Brooks reunion ep (you know the one), Sarah and Chris discuss the weaponization of memory, how to process conflict and conflict resolution as the child of a Housewife often embroiled in both, subverting the use of "relevancy" as an online attack, why Team Manzo doesn't come with a lifetime loyalty card, and the impact of leveraged trust between long-term producers and their cast. Evidently, he's Madonna, because Sarah can't stop screaming and LiveNation says this convo merits a surcharge - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 400!

Sarah sits shiva after the unfortunate loss of her beloved fish son, PK Kemsley Galli. She lights a Yahrzeit candle - really one of Dr. Tiffany's Moon's, but ya know, intention counts - and realizes the best way to grieve PK's loss is to remember the good times - like recording an episode steps away from his memorial tank. So she invites over one of her Bravoholic pals, and Raquel interpreter, Louis Peitzman (Housewives writer and culture commentator). They settle into the cloff and discuss the ways Raquel attempted VPR's bad behavior mission statement (a decade past OG storylines), James' valley after a #hillingjourney storyline, what the confusing narrative around Joe and Louie's pizza oven partnership says about both men's motivations, whether Heather and Whitney can get past their current Bad Weather, and why Leah is in over her head. This episode is dedicated to Paul Kemsley Kemsley Galli, the People's People's betta fish - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 399!

Sarah watches the newest ep of RHUGT and realizes Survivor has nothing on Heather v. Whitney, Marysol vs. water, and Leah vs. everyone but Candiace. So she Zooms up Housewives Survivalist, anthropologist, and writer, Louis Staples. They form their own black widow alliance (shoutout Parvati), and discuss Ultimate Girls Trip through the lens of Survivor and competition reality TV, RHONJ as a show ultimately about authenticity and symbolism, the difference in toxicity between Housewives and Vanderpump Rules, and the ultimate conundrum Housewives face in believing their persona over personhood. It's not TV, it's a sociopolitical study of American society - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 398!

It's Sarah's birthday, and magically, she's once again turning spiritually mid-twenties plus! After unwrapping a series of Pedro Pascal nesting dolls, she realizes there's no time like the present to kiki with one of her favorite gifts: Dylan Hafer (senior content manager, entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss the ways RHUGT is continuing Candiace's Renaissance period (and the different ways vulnerability is processed by the cast), the difficulty of traversing cast trust and production loyalty on RHONJ, the meaning behind reconciliation for Adriana, Alexia, and Marysol, and how to reckon with Scandoval Easter eggs without knowing when the affair really began. Sandoval thinks he's the Most Extra, which is true, since his spirit does closely resemble chewed up gum - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 397!

Sarah watches the ground-shifting VPR mid-season trailer and immediately realizes who she wants to invite to the cloff to mention it all: Pedro Pascal. Mysteriously, he doesn't appear to have noticed Sarah's Instagram DM/Paperless Post/carrier pigeon/voicemail at CAA/drive by that abandoned mall set somewhere in Canada/Craigslist Missed Connection/MySpace top 8/swipe on Hinge. So Sarah resolves herself to not only "endure and survive," but thrive, with a cloffice kiki alongside one of her fave Bravoholic translators, and a VPR super-stan, Alison Leiby (writer, comedian, co-host of the podcast "Ruined," and possible Tre Hugger nemesis). They throw on their shared gold wired eyeglasses (better to see the truth that Sandoval never will), and discuss a myriad of reasons why the Scandoval continues to be a "choose your own adventure" for the ages, how to consciously uncouple in an environment that rebukes boundaries/healing, why showing up to the reunion may be Raquel's first real step of accountability (one Sandoval may be less interested in seeing happen), which RHONJ has become symbolic for both distancing viewers from the series or connecting them deeper, and the interpretive dance of connection, critique, and projection between Bravolebs and Bravo fans. Ariana may have told Sandoval to die, but fingers crossed this season of VPR lives forever - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 396!

Sarah realizes it's always the perfect time to Turtle Time - with a heavy pour of VPR. So she puts Countess Lu's classic dance hit "Girl Code," and invites over a pal with thoughts on all things Scandoval: Gibson Johns (host of the podcast "We Should Talk"). They settle into a stage whisper (the first min or so of audio for this ep is more of a general attention test), and unpack the nuanced reasons why some women are particularly upset at the idea of Raquel/Rachel's girl-on-girl crime (and friendship betrayal), Sandoval's wildly inappropriate refusal to alleviate Ariana's stress in real time, why Schwartz' TMZ meanderings are raising real questions (including for Katie) about when he found out, and yes, thoughts on Housewives too! From whether the women are truly afraid of Marg to whether Alexia can ever humble herself into accountability, this is a supersized ep that covers all the bases, including ones Sandoval likely skipped at T-ball (a cheater to his core) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 395!

And who better to set the intentions right than one of Sarah's Bravo pals, and recent NAACP Awards nominee, Erica Cobb (cohost, "Daily Blast Live," and host of the pod The Comeback with Erica Cobb). They settle into full Giudice/Namaste vibes, and discuss the differences between maturity and growth on Potomac, the expression of anger as a rebuke to hurt in New Jersey, Teresa and Joe's family legacy, and how father-daughter boundaries are viewed on Miami.

Rule of Culture #75: the best convos are ones that begin in the Clubhouse and end in the cloffice. Sarah realizes that in order to deep dive the cultural environment that surrounds RHONJ, she needs an expert in the field (Long Island childhood: check). So she invites over a return guest one ep-ish away from the SNL 5, Matt Rogers (multi-hyphenate comedian, actor, writer, and podcaster whose credits include "I Love That for You," "Fire Island," "Love Trip: Paris," "Have You Heard of Christmas?" and Las Culturistas with Bowen Yang.) They deep dive the ways some contestants on The Traitors assume morality should matter on a show about deception (spoiler alert for US and UK Traitors!), the current communication imbalance between Tre and Joe (and the difference between moving forward and moving on), Larsa and Alexia's inability to understand the boundaries Dr. Nicole has set with her dad, and how Potomac moves forward after an uneven season and rumors about casting cuts.

Another day in paradise. Sarah orders a round of Pumptinis and all the latest news and allegations surrounding the universe-shifting Scandoval, and realizes she needs someone to guide her along the path. Let's have a kiki! So she Zooms up her Bravo pal, VPR superfan, and social media journalist, Kiki Monqiue (aka The Talk of Shame), to unpack all things Scandoval and Potomac. They discuss the ways Drive Back was a prophecy (perhaps not as Candiace intended), Tom's continued inability to accept being seen as a villain, Robyn's allergic reaction to receipts, and Gizelle's refusal to acknowledge sexualizing Chris. No matter which Bravoholic businesses you support, this convo is covering all their business behind closed doors - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 392!

Turns out, Tom Sandoval might be the #1 guy in this group - in all the worst ways. After the Bravo world blows up following the shocking news that VPR star Tom Sandoval has been cheating on his longtime partner Ariana Madix with costar Raquel Viess, Sarah records a special ep to discuss a timeline of what has occurred through now, Easter eggs Tom and Raquel left in the current season (and on WWHL), WTF did Schwartz know and when, and why everyone is losing their minds about lightning bolt necklaces. I'm not sure what Sandoval's cratered Q rating is going to do, but I'll take a Pinot Grigio - it's an Andy's Girls emergency episode!

It's mere moments before the world is rocked with the devastating news that Tom Sandoval lived up to his first name (never eff a Tom!!). And before finding out VPR's Bambi is the villain in her own Disney story, Sarah lives like it's truly one of the best days of her life: by having an IRL cloffice kiki with her Bravoholic bestie, Dylan Hafer (senior content manager, entertainment at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss the nuances in Teresa's "chosen family" - and why choosing a side continues to be a slippery slope, the difference between enabling and escalating behavior for Jen Aydin and Bill, and why Adriana's search for validation from Marysol and Alexia may remain undiscovered. TomTom is over, and a new sandwich shop rises - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 391!

Sarah watches the second part of the Potomac reunion, and immediately lights a 7-wick candle (paying homage to Karen and Dr. Wendy, huzzah). Since the heat of the episode needs a perfect match, she Zooms up one of her Bravoholic BFFs, a Potomac dramaturg of the highest order, Richie Skye (news and entertainment journalist, pop culture expert, and author of the forthcoming book, "The Wickedest Wives: Desiree's Desire"). They discuss the difficulty of placing expectations on unwilling participants, Gizelle's empathy imbalance, and whether or not a different grieving process may have impacted Joe and Tre's later divide.

Sarah almost sprains her ankle in Miami Beach after running along the ocean toward Chris Manzo, and wonders how she'll ever be able to go on with such a life-altering non-injury (Adriana didn't answer her call). Then she wakes up. Annoyed by a moment that wasn't real, she has a different kind of dream come true instead: a new guest on the People's People's Couch, Kara Berry (podcast host, "Everyone's Business But Mine"). They discuss the differences in how a family member's financial support is perceived as an "accomplishment" by Ashley vs Candiace, how to have empathy for Adriana's current life anxieties while holding her accountable for her shocking Frankie overreach, and kids' on-camera roles in NJ. Kim Zolciak may have been able to hold on to that goddamn house (a post-recording PS), because much like a refinanced mortgage, miracles exist - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 389!

With RHONJ social media looming, and the Potomac reunion booming, she realizes the best thing to do is some Zoom-Zooming with another HBO aficionado - and Bravoholic, obvs - content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They discuss the nuanced journey behind Gia's public rebuke of her father and uncle's weekend reunion, the difference between an admission of responsibility and acknowledgement of feelings with Gizelle and Chris, and why Candiace can't seem to take women's bodies out of her weapons arsenal. Sarah and BBDB may have developed a spiritual allergy to mushrooms, but Pedro Pascal is the antidote to all that and more - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 388!

NYC may have skipped winter this year, but Sarah loves a good comfort blanket and chill (also known as The Real Housewives of Miami). So she Zooms up one of her Bravoholic besties, and fellow "Adriana! No" aficionado, Ryan Houlihan (drag artist, YouTuber, and member of Team Tre). They discuss Adriana's alternate universe style of self-victimization (and ability to turn questions of empathy into direct warfare), the ways select NJ Housewives use group conflict as a substitute for personal storyline, how symbolism around perceived intentions/behavior is leading to much of Teresa and Melissa's strife, and why Joe Giudice may be the missing piece of the "when did this all go so horribly awry" puzzle for Teresa and her brother.

Happy Gallitines Day, AGs! Sarah celebrates this holy occasion the best way she knows how: by sending Chris Manzo a valentine (herself wrapped up with a bow). But after she realizes she can't FedEx a human-sized package to someone's DMs, Sarah realizes another option is really the best gift of all: a super-sized AG with pal Evan Real (senior tv reporter at PageSix.com, and cohost of Page 6's podcast Virtual Reali-tea). They settle into the cloffice and discuss trigger Housewives, a Gorga tradition of explosive reactions/family feuds passed down to Teresa and Joe, and an important - albeit difficult - lesson in how Dolores stays true to her friends, and herself. Melissa stans are hereby crowned Gorgita Crunches, and boy are they a snack - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 386!

Limber and ready to race, she Zooms up two athletes in the field of Tre Huggers/Loggers/the middle of the pack, Abby and Vanessa from Real Moms of Bravo. They discuss Potomac's Fox Force Five energy, what's really behind upset around Tre's bridal party, and why Dolores' prediction about a permanent split between Teresa, Joe, and Meliss may be the healthiest option for everyone but the casting dept. The NJ newbies are bringing prestige energy, and so is this deep dive - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 385!

They discuss differing views on Heather v. Whitney, the difficulty of ignoring accountability when choosing to stan, the importance of centering consent in conversation about Brandi's behavior on RHUGT S4, and Robyn's confusing reveal about Juan.

So Sarah Zooms up her pal, New York Times bestselling author Michael Arceneaux ("I Can't Date Jesus," "I Don't Want to Die Poor"), for a deep dive on the bitterness Lenny has toward a marital dynamic he created, Dr. Nicole's struggle to meet her father in the present while defending childhood and adult trauma from the past, a lesson in the harm of indifference that Meredith and Heather could learn from Elie Wiesel, and the irony behind Heather’s book tour.

She realizes the best salve is AG therapy with a dream guest: Ryan Houlihan (journalist, drag performer, and Bravoholic). They discuss the-now cancelled Frost/Nixon/Shah/Cohen, a Jentervention for Heather and Meredith (and the ways nuance seems less important at times than prioritizing accountability with a smidge of rage), and the ways Miami is currently carrying the light (bouncing off of Larsa's feet).

Thrilled to know that her extroversion toward her fave franchise is tried and true, she Zooms up another fave: news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert, Richie Skye. They discuss the perception of beta Housewives personalities as a potentially negative character trait (and the role of gender in using 'beta' as a pejorative), Karen and Charrisse's divide about supporting a friend in mourning as a potentially transactional exchange, whether or not Jen should have attended the Salt Lake reunion, and how Andy's remarks about Jen's future with Bravo intersect with an audience expectation around accountability.

The only way to get to the other side of this slog is to get through it, and who better to join her for this journey than Sarah's Bravoholic pal, Daniel Stokes (culture programs lead at Brex and cohost of the pod "Thots & Prayers"). They discuss the Salt Lake finale's High School Musical: The Musical energy, the lack of a voice of the audience when it's needed now more than ever before, what Jen's likely sit-down with Andy means for the network's confusing tone, and what reunion accountability could look like for Gizelle.

They unpack a translation of Jen's Shah's sentence inside and outside of the Bravo universe, Judge Stein's view of Jen's "scripted" tv character (and how closely that character seems aligned with the reams of evidence presented by the government), the continuing trauma felt by her thousands of victims (whose very vulnerabilities Jen belittled in court exhibits), the difference in how Coach Shah and Erika Jayne have been criticized (and possibly, why), and the ultimate cost of performative wealth on reality tv.

A new year hath begun, and who better to ring it in than a couple of dames. Sarah begins 2023 in child's pose (named after the emotional maturity of most Housewives) and limbers into the cloffice for a deep dive with her fave elected official: Founder and President of the Real Housewives Institute, and author of the New York Times bestseller "The Housewives: The Real Story of the Real Housewives," Dame Brian Moylan. They discuss the conditioning and placement of gender roles/norms within some Housewives marriages (and the impact of generational conditioning on Lenny and Lisa), the differences between Housewives escapism and aspiration, and the ways select cast members have taken "disingenuous" performance too far on Potomac and Salt Lake. Sarah immediately brought up PK as one of the best Househusbands around, in case you're wondering how well she's slept so far in 2023 - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 374!

They discuss the difference between Lisa's fantasy of her marriage vs. Lenny's fantasy for himself, Miami's refreshing openness around plastic surgery, and LOL what the absolute hell is going on with Heather's eye (it's not just the crime, it's the coverup).

They sit underneath a Zoom Hanukkah bush/Christmas tree, and discuss standout moments in 2022, the importance of Miami's work centering sisterhood in storyline, the impact of a potential Jen sit down supplement, and why the origin story between Tre vs. Melissa is unlikely to resolve. Sarah vs Louis and Kevin, someone pass her some Vida and one of Heather's side lasers- it's Andy's Girls, Episode 371!

Happy Hanukkah, this episode is a gift! Sarah celebrates the festival of lights by inviting over her Bravo bestie who always shines from within, Dylan Hafer (content manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They settle into the cloffice (another kind of present), and discuss the disdain underneath Lenny's disrespect of Lisa, the burden of carrying a toxic relationship on TV and IRL, NJ's Housewives normcore, nuance as the missing piece of the SLC formula, and the ways Mia is being mistaken as a riddle instead of a punch line. We wish you a Mary Christmas (except her name is possibly, Michelle) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 370!

To life, to life, L'chaim! (perhaps not a fave song for Lenny Hochstein.) Sarah prepares for Hanukkah by getting out her almost-never-used menorah, and inviting over a gift to the content creator community, Danielle (co-host of the pod The Real Housewives of Rewatch and creator behind @BrandsByBravo). They discuss a shared double fluency of being Bravo creators and Hebrews, Lisa and Larsa's trust fall exercise friendship fight, the price of "fun" Jen on Salt Lake, and the differences in Bethenny now vs. then (gotta stretch that funny/humility bone or it'll atrophy). Hanukkah has come early with this convo, which is perfect because Sarah forgot when it actually begins - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 369!

Ring ring! Who's this? It's Erika Jayne's questionably insured replacement diamond - and a caller with a special announcement to share! Excited because Andy Cohen isn't the only one who's got the 411, Sarah Zooms up another king, king of midnight fun - Ryan Bailey (host, "So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey"). They make their special announcement (an upcoming live show collab!), and discuss the impact of toxic standoms, the ways financial independence factors into why some women join Housewives, what similarities Lenny shares with Kelsey Grammer, and the benefits of externalizing internal thoughts through the lens of narrative storytelling. Consider this part 1 of Sarah and Ryan's live show collab - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 368!

It's the day before the White Lotus finale, and Sarah is feeling particularly floral. So after praying to her Jennifer Coolidge altar - a sign saying "please let Tanya remain alive and also rich" placed near various Scary Island artifacts - she invites another iconic pop culture figure to the cloff, also known as the Doris Kearns Goodwin of Bravo, Evan Ross Katz (writer, fashion columnist, podcaster behind "Shut Up Evan" and "Drop Your Buffs, and author of "Into Every Generation a Slayer is Born: How Buffy Staked Our Hearts"). They sit in a meditative state for a moment (helpful when things get spicy during the ep), and discuss the similarities Heather and Meredith share with Gizelle and Robyn in conducting friendship warfare, the complicated journey at the core of processing trauma on camera, and what it means to call Lisa Rinna an icon (in this, our year of the lord, Garcelle). Call Bravo podcast sweeps, and let them know this conversation deserves an award (perhaps one of the few Bethenny's given herself) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 367!

Sarah watches the RHOM premiere and realizes its high tide to have a return guest make his cloffice premiere - a safe space in which to admit a surprising detail about Lenny H - Evan Real (senior tv reporter at pagesix.com and co-host of Page 6's pod "Virtual Reali-tea"). They pregame with I Am Real by Simon van Kempen and discuss the media narrative surrounding Lisa and Lenny's shock divorce (and show critiques some ex-Househusbands make in order to minimize their wives), the ways delusion and denial have been threaded through Jen Shah's relationship with her cast, and why Robyn and Gizelle's decision to use Mia as a vessel for revenge is an ineffective strategy. Melissa Gorga may be on display, on display, on display, but you should listen to this convo every day, every day, every day - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 366!

Much like Ginger Zarin, Storm Umansky, and of course Archie Beador, Sarah is so excited for an IRL cloffice kiki that she finds herself barking excitedly (that also might be a reaction to Sparkle Dog). She welcomes one of her faves back to the People's People's Couch: Gibson Johns (host of the podcast, "We Should Talk"). They do just that, discussing the way some Housewives perform being desensitized around toxic online discourse for strategy and survival, the difference between hosting a party and providing a space (which both Jen and Angie K. are getting wrong), and a piece of presidential wisdom that some Housewives would do well to remember (or maybe, for the sake of tv, not). If anyone dares spill an ounce of champs on Sarah's blowout, she's calling the fashion police - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 365!

Sarah wakes up with a tummy ache (equal parts too much vegan paleo pie, and a dream she was stuck in the RHOP Miami rental bedroom with constant flushing replacing ocean waves). Undeterred, she realizes the best medicine is a People's People's Couch RHOP kiki with one of her absolute faves, Bravoholic Emerson Collins (writer, producer, and actor). They discuss Potomac's mastery of the Housewives universe (big fights over small details), a defense of overreacting when responding to an overreach, the difference between being an artificial villain and an artificial person, and the effect of friendship without accountability (Jacqueline, take note). Much like Gizelle's red velvet oreos, this ep is serving - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 364!

This isn't even my effing plate! Oh wait, yeah it is, and it's filled with (vegan paleo) pumpkin pie and this delicious special ep! Sarah celebrates Thanksgiving the best way she knows how: by Zooming up three of her fave Bravoholic besties: Katie Mac Burdick (Bravo Betch), Dylan Hafer (Bravo by Betches), and B. Graeter (Petshopboy). They settle into the People's People Couch and unpack their reasons for saying thanks (and holiday wishes - not so fast, RHOC), Mia's chaotic attempt to pull focus (and what Robyn and Gizelle got wrong), and Salt Lake's identity crisis. Pick up nine lemons in a bowl, and make it a holiday spritz - it's an Andy's Girls Thanksgiving, Episode 363!

Sarah hears that the RHONY reboot has already gone through a cast shakeup (a potential record, mere few weeks into filming), and realizes the only way to discuss this breaking news is with Bravoholic C-SPAN: an AG kiki with news and entertainment journalist, and pop culture expert, Richie Skye. They settle into the People's People's Zoom Couch and discuss the importance of a critical core 4 (and lessons the new New York could learn from old NJ), the ways friendship history has felt calculated on Salt Lake and organic on Potomac, and Ashley's selective financial acumen. Charisse may require a private bathroom, but this convo is perfect to share - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 362!

Sarah watches a classic episode of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and realizes that while she can also tie a shoe like the best in the biz, what she's really missing out on is hype (and Shahs of Sunset). So she combines both dreams by inviting a new guest over for a Zoom cloffice kiki: writer and content creator The Neighborhood Hype Girl. They mention it all: what Shahs has in common with RHOC and BH, the difference between Ashley's reliance on trust vs information as she navigates her divorce, and the potential for de-escalation between Ashley, Candiace, and Gizelle. Myspace says this episode is in its top 8, which is a joke Sarah insists she's too young to understand - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 361!

Sarah celebrates Bethenny's Housewives pod premiere the best way she knows how: by not listening and forming an opinion regardless (Bethenny would approve!). She Zooms up one of her fave Bethenny translators - who also hasn't listened to B's pod, because #BStrong starts from within - Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, host of the pod Pot Psychology, and owner of pipedreams.fun). They discuss the resentment that has been long-simmering underneath Bethenny's post-Housewives projects, including in her critiques of her former cast, the curse of the third season friendship fracture (which now includes the entirety of the Salt Lake City cast), and the ways Heather is playing opposing roles in her battles with Lisa and Whitney, with mixed results. Angie Harrington may have selective memory, but this convo is one you won't forget - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 360!

After voting for NY governor - Bethenny ran uncontested, smh - Sarah Zooms up one of her fave patriotic Bravoholics, Daniel Stokes (culture programs lead at Brex and cohost of the pod "Thots and Prayers"). They discuss the ways Dr. Wendy's on/off camera branding confusion intersects with her Housewives identity, what Candiace's reaction to Ashley's 'reveal' says about her personal growth, and the ever-changing and always prestige relationship storytelling on Married to Med. Gizelle has a storyline, and it's hiding from what Daniel has to say - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 359!

Sarah makes matching friendship bracelets to share with her best friend - Shan, obvs - and pops it in the mail, care of The Quiet Woman. She decides to continue her Celebration of Friendship Day - with more than a few opposing views, as God/Andy Cohen intended - by having a cloffice kiki with OG of the AG Damian Bellino (writer, producer, and co-host of the pod "You Might Know Her From"). They discuss whether RHOBH can move on from this season if Rinna stays in the cast, the battle by proxy on Salt Lake, Mia's Drew-esque energy (and creative freedom from facts), and what it means for Bethenny to host a Housewives-themed pod, in light of her "I'm up here" post-Bravo brand. Sarah has thoughts about the youthfulness of the RHONY reboot cast, as an expert in being Spiritually Mid-Twenties Plus - and fellow youth, it's Andy's Girls, Episode 358!

With just a week to go before the midterms, Sarah rushes to the polls (Team Candiace vs. Gizelle, Rinna vs. Humanity, Kyle vs. Kath). She realizes that the importance of voting when one is properly informed, so she immediately Zooms up one of her fave Bravoholic truth tellers, Michael Arceneaux (New York Times bestselling author, "I Can't Date Jesus" and "I Don't Want to Die Poor"). They discuss the complicated journey watching Rinna act as Kyle's surrogate sister, the selective use of innocence and guilt with friendships on Salt Lake, and the ways Michael is continuing to assert control during his separation from Ashley. If Eric Adams becomes a friend-of on the new RHONY, hopefully he resolves NYC's biggest debate (who is on Legacy and when can we watch) - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 357!

Sarah goes up to the DJ at the Caribou Club and makes a special request that is immediately approved - playing "Survivor" on a 40 year loop, in honor of this season of BH finally coming to an end! Sarah replicates one of Kyle's party splits, during which her lower body holds its series finale. After returning from Urgent Care (also a plea to the production behind RHOBH), she Zooms up one of her Bravo besties, the multi-hyphenate James LaRosa (writer, producer, director, creator, show runner, and close personal friend of whomever Rinna hates most). They discuss the concept of active allyship that Kyle and Kathy seem to have trouble applying to their relationship on reality TV and IRL, silence vs. sisterhood, nefarious intent on Beverly Hills vs. Potomac vs. Salt Lake City, and why some Housewives are choosing alliances with bad actors vs. the truth. You could call BH Season 12 "Survivor: Blood vs. Water," but regardless, it's on appeal for legal reasons - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 356!

Sarah realizes this ep should take inspo from an iconic moment from Potomac, so she immediately calls Eric to the cloff so they can break the fourth wall. Unfortunately, he doesn't answer (and honestly the cloffice walls are kinda hard to break), so she makes an even better call - Zooming up the President of the Real Housewives Institute, and Sarah's religious deity in the world of Bravo writing, Brian Moylan (President and Founder of the Real Housewives Institute, and author of the New York Times bestseller, "The Housewives: The Real Story Behind The Real Housewives"). They discuss the differences between friendship value systems on Potomac vs Beverly Hills, Candiace's Meghan King Edmonds energy, and the differences in how the network responded to Teresa's guilty plea vs Bravo's potential plans for Jen Shah (let alone the reactions from their respective casts).

Welcome to the AG C-SPAN spectacular, because Rinna is losing her mind online (as opposed to any other day of the week). Sarah spots a widely inappropriate IG story that Rinna posted about Kyle and Paris, and immediately Zooms up her spiritual gummy, and a guide through the madness, content creator Bravo Bravo Ducking Bravo. They unpack Rinna's manipulation of Paris' trauma in order to shame Kathy (apparently other children are not off-limits, unlike Rinna's own), Kyle's problematic description of "clean" microaggressions in her conversation with Crystal, and the ways Candiace's powerful fourth wall breaking on Potomac is miles above the storytelling on Bev Hills. The word "evil" is used, let's wait for the Fox Force to stop screaming in shock - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 354!

It's been a weekend of highs (Sarah finally met a certain future husband) and lows (the wedding has not yet taken place), and after 3 full days at BravoCon, she is ready to mention it all! So Sarah invites over her Bravo bestie and fellow BravoCon attendee, and someone who knows a thing or two about mentioning it all, Dylan Hafer (content manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the pod Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss panel MVPs, the sometimes-fraught audience Q&As, viral BH panel chaos (LOL), WWHL's Legends Ball, and overall roses and thorns. BravoCon may be over, but Sarah's heart (and iPhone storage) are filled with love, love, love - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 353!

It's Bravocon weekend (!!), so Sarah preps for the journey to the motherland the best way she knows how: by Zooming up an expert in the fine art of Bravoholic Expressionism, Emerson Collins (actor, producer, nonprofit director, and former cast member on "The People's Couch"). Hot off the Beverly Hills reunion, they discuss remaining questions around what actually happened between Sutton and Crystal, the disconnection in a cast framework of crediting Dorit for courageously protecting her children during a violent act and judging/'correcting' Garcelle and Jax's responses to death threats he received, and why Kyle should consider retiring from her volunteer position as Diana's intention translator. Sarah may have gotten spiritual hives from BH, but luckily Potomac and Salt Lake are the perfect antidote (as might this deep dive) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 352!

First, she invites one of her fave guest co-hosts over to the cloff: Erica Cobb (co-host Daily Blast Live, and host of 'Comeback with Erica Cobb,' avail on Ebony Podcast Network). They explore the Wikipedia energy Rinna is using to define the extensive and complex relationship between Kathy and Kyle (bcc: Kim), and an empathetic approach to understanding Meredith's upset on Salt Lake (and the ways Jen seems to factor into multiple gossip-as-fact 'reveals'). Sarah also unpacks the Potomac premiere, including the continuing complications in Ashley and Michael's relationship, and why he seemingly relishes in breaking boundaries and maintaining control. Potomac is back, and so is the elusive chanteuse (Sarah's cackle over two+ hours) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 351!

So she Zooms up her fave spiritual advisor for another important religious holiday (AG's 350th ep!): James LaRosa (writer, producer, director, creator, show runner, and Lisa Rinna's current/future nemesis). They explore the finale's Big Clue Energy on many fronts: the impact of Kyle's active opposition to the Fox Force company line, the cast's struggle between relevancy and truth, and a shocking editing decision/blunder that showed/disappeared a smoking gun reveal. Beverly Hills gave extra razzle dazzle, and so does this deep dive - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 350!

So she Zooms up on of her fave anthropologists of Housewifery, Fran Tirado (writer, tv/film maker, and host of the pod "Like a Virgin!"). They pour some spiritual Casa Del Sol and have a nuanced kiki about the ways Rinna capitalized on the longstanding fractures between Kathy, Kyle, and Kim, the reasons capitalism may have played a friend-of role in Aspen's aftermath (and different takeaways about the Big Scene), and Meredith's changed views on handling friendship accountability with empathy vs revenge. Fran can't tell Kendall or Kylie apart, but this convo stands out from the rest - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 349!

So she Zooms up another gift, her Bravo pal Ryan Bailey (podcaster, "So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey" and "What The Kids Are Watching"), to compare and contrast Lisa B and Kathy's 'private' breakdowns with Meredith and Rinna's public response, Rinna's obfuscating work with Kathy (and why Kyle's belated push for a truce may have inspired the opposite), and an epic chapter of AG Theatre looking back at Bethenny's Miami meltdown. It's International Podcast Day, and this convo gets a star on the cal - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 348!

Today's a special ep, in honor of this week’s Salt Lake City season premiere: a chat Sarah and OG of the AG Damian Bellino shared with RHOSLC Lisa Barlow during June's AG Live online show. They discuss Lisa's pre-Housewives work with Bethenny Frankel and Kyle Richards, what Heather got wrong about Lisa's viral "miserable f**ks" tweet, and why the alliance of Heather/Jen/Meredith is so surprising.

Sarah rents Being John Malkovich and imagines a time, a place, a possibility of exploring what went through Rinna's mind from the moment "conga" was suggested through the rest of the night. Despondent that tickets seem to be sold out (much like Rinna herself), she finds answers elsewhere - by having one of her fave guests, comedian and writer Alison Leiby, back to the cloff! They discuss Alison's casting suggestion for the RHONY reboot (a Summer House graduation), Kyle's performative relatability, and whether or not Dorit is more of a 'true believer' about Erika's motivations and behavior than Rinna.

Sarah awakens from a nightmare, where she was trapped underneath the bunk beds at Kyle's Aspen house listening to Lisa Rinna record a voice memo monologue about The Last Night in Aspen (like "Before Midnight," but endless and without artistic merit). She realizes the best solution to a bad night's sleep is a dream ep - recording AG IRL in the cloffice with OG of the AG Damian Bellino (writer, producer, comedian, and co-host of the pod "You Might Know Her From"). They discuss the value system of sisterhood vs strategy between Kyle, Kathy, and Rinna, how to decipher meaning and intention behind endless conspiracy theories about what actually occurred, and what this means for the reunion (let alone the future of the cast). How low can the Aspen aftermath go, we don't yet know - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 345!

So she lights a cloffice menorah (the propofol candle from Dr. Tiffany Moon), and invites over a Bravoholic with a gift for unpacking plot, Ryan Bloomquist (actor, author, and audience member during Erika Jayne's "Chicago" Broadway run). They discuss the difficulties navigating humility for Erika Jayne and Lea Michele, the difference in how Kyle expresses anger toward her 'spiritual' sister Dorit vs her actual sister, Kathy, and Erika and Rinna's vested interest in exacerbating whatever comes next week.

They discuss why Erika's "fake news" defensiveness doesn't translate on reality tv (or IRL), how the currency of Housewives is affected when the show casts already-wealthy and connected figures, and whether Marlo can (and will) move away from job shaming Kandi.

Overjoyed with content that doesn't involve "c" words (aside from "c'mon Sheree, you can do this") she welcomes opens up the cloffice to a Bravo commentator with things to say: Rafi D'Angelo (Bravoholic and former political commentator). They deep dive Rafi's enjoyment over Dubai's first season (and whether Chanel Ayan can avoid the 2nd season curse), why Housewives orientation likely worsened Diana's time on BH, and how vulnerable insights into Marlo's childhood help explain her behavior with Kandi. Dwight may have wanted to leave She by WhatTimeIsIt, but this convo is just getting started - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 341!

Sarah realizes it's Wednesday PM, time to watch Entertainment Tonight (no, not RHOBH. Shudder. Shudder to think this is entertainment). She realizes after another very dark and problematic ep of BH, that a bit of TLC (tender loving content) is in order. So she Zooms up ET's own chief Housewives correspondent (and a man who majored in nuance at Housewives U), Brice Sander. They explore whether the Fox Force will ever 'allow' Sutton a seat at the table, the difficulty of expecting nuanced reactions from a Housewives audience but not its cast, and why it can be helpful to hold off on judgement for a new franchise's premiere season. Sarah isn't a fan of judging someone's physical tics: go for their character, instead - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 340!

After another few days in the wilds of RHOBH discourse online (it's toxic and it's loud, and there's almost no escape), Sarah realizes she needs to go to a place of Zen, of long-form analysis and bagel influence, an AG kiki with Kiki Monique aka @TheTalkofShame (professional talker, social media journalist, CEO of deep dives, and host of the podcast I'm Sorry with Lemonada Media). They react Lisa Rinna's wild accusations on IG about who was behind the attack (Kathy Hilton, LVP, and her own show's producer have all been targets of Rinna this week), Erika's still-suspended discovery phase of finding out Tom is - spoiler alert- not great, an important missing piece in Apollo's conversation about Phaedra. Kimora has enjoyed life in the fast lane, and we're ready for her to zoom over to BH - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 339!

Someone is very morally corrupt. Sarah is joined by IG investigative creator @BravoBravoDuckingBravo, for an exhaustive deep dive on the shocking online attacks against RHOBH Garcelle Beauvais' 14-year-old son, Jax. They answer questions about what happened (Why do so many people believe this was a coordinated attack? What's a bot farm? And what is the connection between comments aimed at Jax and what's been said recently by the cast?), and discuss what this means for Garcelle's future on the show, and how this could and should impact the upcoming reunion. Some cast members may have been selectively silent, but this convo holds nothing back - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 338!

Sarah realizes the Housewives universe would be a great fit for a comic book series (starting with Shannon Beador, whose superhero skill would be placing 9 lemons in a bowl to achieve world peace). So she Zooms up her fave Housewives/comic book savant, Kendrick Tucker (host, "Reality and Comics Too"). They explore the importance of villains who truly drive story forward (Marlo, take note), respecting foes who push favorites to do their best work (Kenya on both sides), and the difference between 'oversensitive' fans vs those wanting to hold Rinna accountable. No pigeons were harmed in the making of this convo, but the same can't be said for Denise during BH Season 10 - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 337!

Sarah watches one of the Avengers movies (no she doesn't), and realizes it's time to regroup with AG's #writergirl super panel. So she assembles an all-mighty Zoom with writers, editors, and Housewives dramaturgical society co-presidents, Kevin Fallon (senior entertainment editor, The Daily Beast) and Louis Peitzman. This dream team trio deep dives how Lisa Rinna's perception of grief as a permission slip is landing differently in reality, the connective thread of childhood trauma in Chanel Ayan's story (and why other aspects of storytelling on Dubai are helping a troubling narrative with its government), and whether simply being provocative is enough to hold a full-time peach (sorry, Marlo). They've got teeth and what NYC considers "homes," just don't tell Dorit - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 336!

Sarah watches the latest Married to Medicine and realizes there's no high quite like a Dr. Simone inspired cackle. So she Zooms up one of her fave laugh connoisseurs, Daniel Stokes (culture programs lead at Brex, and co-host of the new pod Thots and Prayers). They unpack whether Dr. Heavenly is overstepping as a friend (and cast member) by disparaging Dr. Contessa's marriage online, why Rinna's alliance stays quiet when she gets absurdly loud, and the importance of holding personal-fave Housewives to account (bcc: Kyle). BH may be barely halfway through its season, but at least this convo flies by - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 335!

Sarah takes her baby boy PK Kemsley to his fish pediatrician for a check up (aka staring at his tank and blowing him a kiss) and realizes what they both need is a Bravoholic check in. So she Zooms up one of her fave content creators and podcasters, Vanessa from @RealMomsofBravo, for a nuanced convo about the ways Crystal could potentially use the construct of Housewives and 'friendship' to apply pressure to the Fox Force, how Kyle has been given a pass to produce conflict by the cast but not the audience, and why Atlanta is delivering on engagement while BH feels like Real Housewives of Deflection. Rinna says Harry Hamlin thinks this convo is great (aka he doesn't know what a podcast is) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 334!

Sarah realizes the Bravo universe needs a People's People's Court, a space dedicated to the pursuit of justice from one Bravoholic to the next. So she Zooms up Veronica Leventhal, an expert in the field - she works as a forensic social worker in juvenile justice! - to litigate some juvenile behaviors on Housewives. They explore the connective thread on Beverly Hills and Atlanta around possibly-misdirected expressions of anger, the ways Kyle's self-producing with Sutton has produced a spiritual and literal villain edit, and the missing component in Ralph's book journey (his wife's voice in their marriage). Sarah and Veronica aren't digging through mountain dirt, but this convo is a gem nevertheless - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 333!

Sarah emulates Big Carole Energy - having 5 last good summers and oh yes LOL being a writer girl - after her first article is published in the Daily Beast. About, what else, RHOBH. And who better to celebrate her published rage spiral than one of her fave content creators, Richie Skye. They discuss the troubling positioning of Crystal's ED as conversation without her active participation and consent, why Kye's refusal - or inability - to stand on her own is keeping her from being a true center diamond, and what the cast wants to actively hide by calling Sutton a liability. This episode may be a roller coaster, but at least the cost of admission isn't a person's soul (bcc Erika Jayne, Mikey is looking for yours at lost and found) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 332!

Sarah is dismayed to realize that no matter how hard she hopes, it is *still* not yet BravoCon weekend (doesn't time understand how badly she wants to turtle?). So she Zooms up one of her fave parts of the 2019 BravoCon extravaganza, a man who could give a master class in how to discuss delicate matters about Housewifery panels with expert skill, Evan Real (senior tv reporter at PageSix.com and co-host of Page 6's new pod "Virtual Reali-Tea). After receiving confirmation that, yes, Evan's name did inspire Simon van Kempen's iconic musical hit (not really, but..spiritually), they explore the endearing quality of OG thirst, why Heather should be concerned with Tamra's media "amuse bouche," the ways that Kyle's inability to identify Erika's concerning behavior may be connected to her dynamics with Kim, and what's behind a lack of sensitivity about Crystal's eating disorder. Sarah's trigger is Bravo's use of "to be continued," so ya know, listen to this ep in full or murmur that to yourself when you press pause - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 330!

After recording last week's AG Classic (editor voice: 30 min later) and AG Patreon (editor voice: 60 min later), Sarah realizes that she must take the pod triple crown (editor voice: 90 min later) with a record-breaking OG of the AG three! So Sarah Zooms up Damian Bellino (writer, producer, co-host of the pod "You Might Know Her From," and RHOA dramaturg) for an Atlanta deep dive. Because let's keep it real, BH has gotten a lot of time on AG of late. But the new RHOA - unlike gem mining - has a lot to explore. Sarah and Damian discuss the connective thread between Marlo and Kenya's childhood trauma and abandonment to how they handle conflict and triggers as adults, why selective silence is not a neutral action (and can often provoke a heightened response), and, of course, Drew's Carrot Top Energy. Marlo and Kenya may be at an impasse, but this convo zooms right along - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 329!

After her 75 messages go unanswered (has to be a tech issue! Silly 'net), Sarah Zooms up her other fave Bravo bestie, and OG of the AG, Damian Bellino (writer, producer, and cohost of the pod "You Might Know Her From"). They deep dive the the difference between crossing lines in Atlanta and crossing boundaries in Beverly Hills, the restorative power of a production pause for Sheree and Tamra (Dorinda, take note), and the value of a RHONY Legacy narrative that includes mother/daughter dynamics. Noel, Victoria, and Quincy agree, this convo is prestige modern art - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 328!

Recently blocked by Lisa Rinna (some people just prefer matte over gloss), Sarah consoles herself with another iconic lip kit (childhood Lipsmackers at CVS), and deep diving with a fellow survivor of Rinna's blocking rampage, IG creator/investigator @BravoBravoDuckingBravo. They sit down in the cloffice (spiritually - thanks, Zoom) and explore what Lisa Wu's cameo on Atlanta reveals about the difficulty of repositioning a return Housewife, the pressure of Housewives monetization that lurks underneath Dorinda's hostess stress, and whether to consider Rinna's social media anger toward editors as a nuanced (and possibly strategic) exploration of grief. Sarah thinks her guest's voice is a perfect fit for the Calm app, just like her own cackle (HUSH) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 327!

Sarah takes a walk down Madison Ave and runs into the entirety of Jen Shah's courtroom defense (an empty shopping bag littering the ground outside Dior). Thrilled with such a historic find (it's both worthless AND empty! Much like Rinna on social), Sarah runs back to the cloffice to kiki with her fave expert witness, and Bravo bestie, Dylan Hafer (manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the pods Pop Alarm and Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They discuss Andy's reaction to Jen's guilty plea and the likely whiplash energy of Salt Lake City S3, the problems with Diana's anti-improv instincts in her battle against Sutton, and what Caroline Brooks' dinner theatre performance has in common with Cherry Jones' role on Succession.

Sarah hears breaking news about Jen Shah's change of plea and races to the best place to mention it all, the Real Housewives Institute Reality Television Arts and Sciences study hall Zoom (admission: intelligence, je ne sais quoi/chic c'est la vie, and Dame as your honorific), where she meets up with the man, the myth, the legend, Dame Brian Moylan (author of the New York Times bestseller "The Housewives: The Real Story About Real Housewives," now out in paperback, creator of Vulture's Housewives Institute bulletin newsletter, and Sarah's personal lord and savior including when they scream at each other about Erika and Kyle). Dames Moylan and Galli react to Jen's shocking guilty plea and the reasons people with the most to hide choose to live their lives on camera, why alcohol is not an excuse for boundary crossing (and apologies), and yes, an intense exploration of the Fox Force Four's idea of selective accountability and silence.

They discuss the ways Kyle stumbles trying to be Johnny Carson when she's really Ed McMahon, the Fox Force's confusing spin of Erica's inappropriate boundary crossing, and why Girls Trip could truly be renamed "Dorinda in the Shadows." This is a Justice for Jill convo, because Shalom means peace ("and goodbye for anyone who crosses my child" - Gloria) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 324!

Feeling a spiritual triage is in order, she Zooms up one of her fave truth tellers and Bravoholics, a 4-time Olympian in mentioning it all, Erica Cobb (co-host, Daily Blast Live, host, 'Comeback with Erica Cobb,' available on Ebony Podcast Network). They explore what's really behind Diana's deep seated anger against Garcelle, Lisa Rinna's inflexibility of thought, and what Dorinda's 'banana bread muffin with a dash of sadism' brunch says about her instinct to punish when she reacts.

Sarah puts on a knitted pussy hat she purloined from Carole's mom at the DC Women's March (what, they were all aglow with lady patriotism, and Sarah wanted RHONY swag), and decides a Bechdel test-approved episode is most certainly in order. So she Zooms up a writer girl featured on last week's BH, Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, host of the podcast Pot Psychology, proprietor of pipedreams.fun, and bee/cucumber truther). They discuss the ways that alcohol has been used as an invitation to escalate on Girl's Trip and underplay on Bev Hills, a coastal war over Housewife intellectual acumen, and Tracie's continued confusion over Diana's 'coffee table book' years after her viral Jezebel piece.

So she Zooms up a Bravo pal with a French-sounding handle (c'est bon c'est bon!), Priscilla from @BonjourBitchesBlog and the merch shop @feministcringe. They unpack the ways that social media, WWHL reveals, and alliances are impacting and confusing on-camera storylines, the tension between potentially ignoring problematic behavior and potentially hiding problematic footage, and the secondhand embarrassment of Erika's ongoing attempts to paint herself as a victim of Sutton's honesty. Bravo likely has the footage that would put Tahoe-gate to rest, and it's prob locked in the same production closet as that boat ride in Cartagena - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 317!

They pregame their hopes about covering Jen Shah's upcoming...federal spinoff, and explore getting to the root of mistrust and adultery on Housewives, and whether reality tv can push forth radical honesty, the ways Drew's business model may be closer to Sonja Morgan's toasters than All In, and the reasons Teddi has replaced Danielle as Sarah's #1 Housewives trigger (a baby carrot minus the carrot, need she say more/absolutely).

Sarah nearly dies (and no, not just because tickets aren't yet on sale for Bravocon) and celebrates the second coming of pulsating sass the best way she knows how - by Zooming up one of her Bravo BFFs, news and entertainment journalist and pop culture expert, Richie Skye. They explore the disconcerting future of Beverly Hills friendships thanks to an overwhelming Fox Force, why Erika Jayne's play for victimhood against Sutton is a race to the bottom of the entertainment barrel, and what Kyle gets wrong about empathy (and age). Sarah says to call 911 only in an emergency, like to ask when she's going to bartend on WWHL - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 313!

Sarah buys a table at Elton John's favorite Starbucks on La Brea (what? that's not the same thing as seats at a gala?), and messages Lisa and Harry to fill two seats. After being informed Rinna already reserved standing-room-only at the Dunkin Donuts in Brentwood, Sarah calls up one of her fave venti spillers of tea, a man who loves to share his AG Q2 quarterly report, Emerson Collins (actor, producer, director, and star of "The People's Couch"). They Zoom-sit on the People's People's Couch and explore Teresa's inability to process forgiveness as anything but as a sign of weakness, the hypocrisy surrounding Kyle and Sutton's conversation about empathy for Dorit, and Erika's misdirected rage. Diana says she's nouveau riche, and Sarah would love to be nouveau breaking even - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 312!

It's time to really focus on healing the environment - the one in Franklin Lakes. So Sarah eye rolls past Chekhov's Cherry Orchard, throws The Giving Tree in the trash, and Zooms up one of her fave seedlingTre Huggers, Christian Gray Snow (host of the Slut Pig podcast and owner of the Slut Pig Shop on Etsy) for a Giudice-style Google Translate. They discuss a sociological study of Tre standom, valuing conflict engagement vs personal high-stakes storylines, and the differences between a Househusband's passive discomfort with production vs active disinterest in marriage (paging Lenny Hochstein). Drew may have gone too hard with her assistant to strategize conflict, but this convo needs no assist - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 311!

Sarah feels an extra jolt of energy after another season upon us (stfu spring/summer, she means RHOBH!). In celebration, Sarah buys a child's admission ticket (Ageless by Ramona, ammiright) to the Real Housewives Institute, in order to mention it all with its founder and president (and New York Times bestselling author) Brian Moylan. Just a couple of dames, disagreeing about Erika Jayne. They discuss the ways that Housewives has made viewers better media consumers and critical thinkers, the difference between changing one's character and revealing it, and questions around questioning Dorit's response to trauma. It may be expensive to be Erika J, but this convo is priceless - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 310!

Sarah hops in one of Chris Manzo's dancer/car wash Uber Pools and heads to the Brownstone for turtle time with a dame who appreciates the fine art of Mafioso-style Housewives whose horoscope is extra leopard, tv writer Alex Zaragoza. They discuss the connection between family boundaries and communication incapability on NJ and Atlanta, the lessons Ralph and Drew could learn about choosing their marriage over (inappropriate relationships with) friends from an iconic reunion on Married to Med, and the difficult ways reality tv can weaponize vulnerability as ‘a price of admission.’ Sarah may not be into financial literacy, but that's just because she's watched a lot of Bev Hills - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 309!

Inspired by one of the greatest dance songs in the Housewives canon -obviously, it can be none other than "I'm Real" by spiritual EGOT Simon van Kempen - Sarah Zooms up one of her fave Housewives reporters - of truth and sass - Evan Real, senior tv reporter at PageSix.com. They discuss the difference between respecting the legacy of NY Housewives and creating fresh content, the impact of a patriarchal structure in how Teresa views Melissa and her future sisters-in-law, and Teresa's struggle to understand self-determination when it involves opinions different from her own.

Sarah watches the effervescent Atlanta season premiere, and celebrates what looks like a fantastic season the best way she knows how - by sending Marlo's billionaire beau a 9 bajillion Venmo request, and using a portion of the funds to buy Marlo a company name that works in French. She realizes she has a few bajillion left to spare, and flies herself on Louie's (imaginary) tantrum PJ to Zoom in the clouds with one of her fave return guests, Michael Arceneaux (New York Times best-selling author of "I Can't Date Jesus" and its follow-up "I Don't Want to Die Poor." They discuss the job of an editor versus therapist when it comes to Teresa's explosive defensiveness, whether Kenya has passed the 'villain' baton to Marlo (and why Sanya's winning the race of being a terrific addition to the cast), and the difference between present vs past tense with regard to how Marlo vs Sonja present wealth. Sarah forgets the names of both Carmela Soprano and RHONY Legacy during this convo, and will therefore leave her certificate of Italian heritage and Peacock login at the door - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 307!

Sarah (allegedly) watches part 2 of the OC reunion and thinks, ya know what I need right now, more than anything? Entertainment! Tonight! So she settles into the cloffice and Zooms up her fave Bravoholic from ET HQ, Brice Sander. They explore questions of emotional capacity that Erika Jayne and Teresa may share, the psychology behind Housewife fandoms (and why it's so often connected with a need for validation from their favored star), the difficulty when nuances are removed from "good vs evil" Housewife archetypes, and why Noella is a prime example of why the riskiest casting decision might be a Housewife who doesn't know who she is. Brice shares inside scoop on the BH premiere, and much like Erika's crisis comms team, Sarah's mouth is still ajar - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 306!

They discuss the influence Heather and Teresa have over production (and why one is winning the edit battle while the other quasi-flails), the differences between Teresa and Nene's disconnections from their respective casts, and whether Marg has regret for considering Teresa a woman capable of friendship trust.

I *do* think so honey, because after this convo Housewives culture has officially been reset - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 304!

Thank you Jesus, it's an Easter Sunday NJ delight (Sarah's childhood rabbi also approves). Sarah welcomes Real Housewife of New Jersey Melissa Gorga to the People's People's (blessed) Couch, to discuss what the tabloids have gotten wrong about Joe's alleged walk-off during the upcoming reunion, whether Melissa can ever do enough to show her loyalty to Tre, and why Jen Aydin's 'fan' origin has worked against developing true relationships with the cast. Sarah also chats about the OC finale, explores Gina's motivations/goals in her ongoing arguments with Shannon, and unpacks the ways Dr. Jen is working against the opportunity to break from a dysfunctional marriage.

Sarah returns from her week-long stay at one of Sonja Morgan's numerous silent retreat but double treatment island locales, tan (no), wearing paisley (never/how dare you even suggest), and with the brand new Beverly Hills trailer as her carry-on (the very first thing to unpack). So she opens up the cloffice to her Bravo bestie, a man who knows a wee bit about mentioning it all - since, ya know, it's the name of one of his pods - Dylan Hafer (manager, pop culture at Betches Media, host of the podcasts Pop Alarm and Mention It All, and creator of @BravoByBetches). They settle into the cloff, surrounded by all of life's spiritual necessities (Manolos and vintage lace), and explore the complicated (and limiting) choice to silence Housewives discourse because of a difference in political ideology, whether Summer House is better equipped to handle delicate and complex conversations because of a generational vs situational environment, and what the Beverly Hills trailer reveals about Erika's disconcerting apathy toward victims of Tom's fraud. Lisa Rinna may have eaten Kathy's half-diamond, but in her defense (lol) doesn't that sound like the perfect lunch - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 302!

En route she picks up devout Jersey observer - just replace "Patti Issues" with Tre, and you've got yourself a monologue - Ben Rimalower (writer, performer, and director of Countess and Friends). They head to Caface for some blowouts and brass(y roots), and discuss the difference between perception and reality during Ben's collaborations with Luann, Bethenny, and Teresa, the ways Tre vs. Marg is analog vs. digital, and why the previous season hair pull may be the foundation of their war.

Sarah heads to the mikvah to cleanse herself of podcast tech, until she realizes the best precursor to AG 300 is with a solo ep exploring complicated figures in Housewives. So she pulls up a chair in the cloffice and mentions it all: the differences between 'spiritual Housewives' and a framework of understanding, the similarities between Shan v Gina and Lu v Bethenny, how Jen Aydin's friendship with Tre may come at the cost of her own personal growth, and the tightrope Dolores walks trying to translate everything to everyone.

She opens the doors to #clofftalk with one of her fave guests, actor and entertainment writer for TheGrio, Jared Alexander. They discuss the lack of breakup boundaries for Dolores and David (and why they're deserved), what Eboni's recent remarks about Ramona means for a future cast, and Shannon's low key power on OC (even if she doesn't recognize it, along with her cast).

Undeterred, she finds an even better safe space in which to express her thoughts and feels - Zooming up her fave SLC scholar, Lauren Ashley Smith (Emmy--nominated TV writer and producer, and a co-host on Smith Sisters Live on Sirius XM Radio Andy). They discuss what Katie and Tom's divorce announcement reveals about a reality tv social contract, Teresa's possibly conflicting primal desires as a wife (soon to be!) and mom, and why Lisa's processing skill makes her the Olivia Pope of Salt Lake City.

She's thrilled to recognize a new member at the meeting of the minds, and a Salt Lake City scholar, Fran Tirado (writer, tv/film maker, and host of the new podcast Like A Virgin!). Sparks fly - and not just because LVP and Ken are smoking outside - as they discuss potential reasons behind the differing on-and-off-screen questions of culpability between Erika Jayne vs Jen Shah, what Duy gets very wrong about project managing his wife's physical and emotional trauma, and the impact of Mormon culture on Heather's full throated support of Jen.

*Here's what you can do to help the people of Ukraine, right now* (Sources: Time Magazine, Fortune, NPR)
One simple step, experts say, is to remain informed about the conflict and to be cautious about the information that’s spread on social media. Disinformation is one of Russia’s favorite weapons of war, and accidentally amplifying it can harm civilians.
Another easy step is to donate money. Most large international aid organizations, including UNICEF, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the International Committee of the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, and the International Rescue Committee, are currently working in Ukraine and neighboring countries, where a growing number of displaced people are fleeing.
Here are a few local/grassroots organizations who are accepting online donations:
Voices of Children is a Ukraine-based aid organization that provides psychological support to children who have witnessed war. It uses art therapy and storytelling to support children’s wellbeing, and provides financial support to families who have suffered as a result of war.
The International Rescue Committee has a long history of providing resources to refugees fleeing countries facing humanitarian crisis. Its leaders have responded to the situation in Ukraine by meeting with organizations in Poland and Ukraine to gauge the potential number of refugees and their needs so it can quickly mobilize and provide whatever assistance is needed. You can make a donation via its website. While the organization will accept donations of any size, it states on the site that a monthly donation of $108 will provide eight families with temporary shelter.
Vostok SOS, which is also based in Ukraine, partners with German-Swiss NGO Liberico to provide immediate evacuation support to Ukrainians attempting to flee their homes. Vostok maintains a hotline for Ukrainians in need and, going forward, hopes to provide trauma support to victims of the Russian invasion.
Malteser International, a nonprofit based in Malta, has been collecting “everyday” supplies for Ukrainians who have been forced to flee their homes. “What is especially needed are everyday medicines, as well as cots, blankets, food, and cash to provide for the many people affected,” Oliver Hochedez, head of Malteser International’s emergency relief department, said in a public statement.
Sunflower of Peace was started five years ago as a fundraiser to provide backpacks with first aid and medical supplies to front-line doctors, and is currently providing backpacks to Ukrainian soldiers, citizens, and volunteers. According to its fundraising information, “Each backpack is designed for groups of 5 to 10 people and includes a variety of first aid supplies: bandages, anti hemorrhagic medicine like Quikclot and Celox, medical instruments, and a means for survival in extreme conditions.” Donate through the fundraising page on Facebook.
Revived Soldiers Ukraine funds medication and medical supplies for field and army hospitals at the front lines of eastern Ukraine. It was founded in 2016 and has since brought 50 wounded Ukrainian soldiers to U.S. hospitals for care. How you can help: The organization’s president, Iryna Vashchuk Discipio, said they urgently need monetary donations to buy medication and to repair a car used to rush injured soldiers away from the front lines.

Sarah hitches a ride with her folks to the local food court, equal parts inspired by Lisa Barlow's finale party, and intrigued by what life in the 80s/90s must have been like (she is, after all, very young). She stops by and picks up one of her fave fountains of youth, whose laugh is as iconic as her own, Daniel Stokes (Bravoholic and culture programs lead at Brex). They open up some Dunkaroos and Capri Sun, and unpack the challenge second season Housewives face of falling into trope behavior, Jennie's role as her own personal hype woman, when microaggressions turn macro between Jennie and Mary, and how SLC alliances may shift following the reunion into Season 3. COVID audio comes and goes, but this episode is still one to treasure, regardless - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 290!

Sarah watches the Salt Lake City reunion on a loop until AG production (her fish son, PK), tells her the sleeves of her 15-year old hoodie are harming the pod's spiritual sound quality (#oldaudio). Undeterred - just kidding, she was very much deterred- Sarah changes into Jen Shah's now-available sequin sleeves and Zooms up her fave spiritual OG of the AG, writer and editor Ryan Houlihan. They explore Jen's unsuccessful attempt to replicate the Tre Narrative, Lisa Barlow's reckoning with a nonexistent production "safe space," and the gender dynamics and trust issues at play concerning the cast's response to Bill's affair. Salt Lake is almost done, but this convo is just getting started - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 289!

Sarah celebrates Gallitine's Day the best way she knows how: by planting 9 lemon trees circling a bowl in honor of her fave OC gal, and Zooming up OG of the AG, and newfound appreciator of Melissa Gorga, Damian Bellino (writer, producer, and cohost of the podcast "You Might Know Her From"). They throw heart shaped vegan chocolates at each other through Zoom, and discuss whether or not Bethenny and Jill's friendship was a platonic showmance or something with more depth, Gia's sense of selective family loyalty, and the difficulties of being a Housewife's child during crisis storylines. Sarah is still waiting for Chris Manzo to slide into her DMs, but he's already made a full time home in her heart - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 288!

Sarah celebrates Gallitine's Day the best way she knows how: with a solo OG of the AG monologue and don't you dare say that's like every other ep! She explores the intergenerational trauma evident in the conversation between Joe and Gia, how unspoken rage may factor into Jen's criticism of Marg's past, and responds to Satchels of Gold about Jen Shah's punitive friendship, and the real meaning behind Mary's church service. Please send this to Andy as an audio reel, and maybe he'll monologue on AG next - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 287!

Sarah plants a tree in Zion in memory of every cast member but Meredith and Mary having forgotten Jen's federal indictment is hey, maybe a tad more important to discuss than Mr. Marks' shiva, after which she retires under its delightful shade for a shade-filled ep. She's joined by the absolute treasure that is Chris Murphy (comedian, staff writer at Vanity Fair, and co-author of VF's "Real Housewives: A Beginner's Guide") to discuss Mary's standing as "the funniest woman in America," what Meredith and Lisa's fight says about the complicated dynamics when female friendships fall apart, whether Lisa's accusations about infidelity are influenced by her Mormon culture, and why Jen is actively listening to unrealistic gossip about Meredith's history with the FBI, but not Stu. Lisa is a Shakespearean symbol and Mean Girls icon, and most importantly, the star of this talk - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 286!

Sarah celebrates the magical premiere of RHONJ - what better term for the absolute spell Luis/"Louie" has over Tre - by buying a gift certificate to Chateau, and leaving an extra copy of Danielle's fave tome ("Beverly to Beverly: Please Call Me Danielle") outside the door. Overwhelmed with excitement about discussing NJ and NY, she calls one of her faves for a Northeast-specific special ep, Erica Cobb (co-host of Daily Blast Live and host of "Comeback with Erica Cobb," a podcast and social media show). They explore the "inside out" vs "outside in" criticism of Eboni's time on RHONY, the difference between traditional 'love bombing' and Louie's history of toxic romantic relationships, and the uneven pursuit of respect that Gia demands toward her dad but not her uncle Joe. This convo is so good Ramona just s**t the floor - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 285!

Sarah locks herself in the cloffice, armed with a Zion producer, boom mic, and list of grievances about former Hinge DMs, as she 'privately monologues' (....) about various third dates for 700 hours, until she realizes she's actually on Instagram Live (hi baby gorgeous!). Undeterred by the Big Lisa Energy, she meets up with the Marks to her Barlow, the Brooks to her Wild Stallion Body Wash Fresh Bear Soap (please tell the Barlow Boys to work on branding after homework), Ryan Houlihan (senior gaming editor, inputmag.com). They discuss Meredith's selective silence around friendship accountability on and off camera, the ways Heather and Whitney's pack mentality and selective morality have be influenced by restrictive religious and cultural environments, and whether confidences between former BFFs should still be kept. Come for AG theatre, and stay for the encore - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 284!

After creating a shoe box cut out version of Sonja's toaster oven (...where is it tho), Sarah searches wildly for the best GF paleo vegan bagel in NYC (what, like this is a big ask), until she realizes there's only one person to ask: IG's official bagel influencer, Kiki Monique (aka @TheTalkOfShame, and host of the podcast I'm Sorry, with Lemonada Media). They take a bite out the Mercury in retrograde-style craziness that is the Bravo universe this week, and discuss what Jennie's "special presentation" revealed about Bravo's possibly cursory casting process, the importance of separating political parties from racist acts (and why Jennie's response was the perfect example of how to get *everything* wrong), the differences between engaging content and absolute chaos on Salt Lake, and possibly surprising thoughts on whether they'd ever join Housewives. Come for the Housewives content, and stay for the Kymanda struggle - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 283!

Sarah takes Kevin's sprinter van to Zion in order to reflect on her top 5 Housewives (Shannon, Archie, and Archie, Archie, and Shan), until she reaches her peak-engaged moment of Zen (the ability to count the number of times Meredith left and then immediately returned to that dining table chaos). She Zooms up one of her fave spiritual advisors on culture and more, Matt Rogers (actor, comedian, television host, and the host of the iconic pod "Las Culturistas"). They discuss the difference between a b-story and beta Housewife, the ways RHONJ is built around a patriarchal structure, and share details on recent convos with SLC Housewives which have influenced their perspectives on network silence about Jennie's racism. This ep is so good the women of SLC are going to release mostly muddled statements about "finding the light" - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 282!

Spiraling into a puddle of WTF after a wild week of headlines in the Bravo sphere ("JENNIE POSTED WHAT?" - pages 1-10), Sarah takes herself to a spiritual mikvah (aka a Mikvah), for a very necessary cleansing for the soul and also ears and eyes, by Zooming up one of her fave tellers of truth and an IG safe space for all, B. Graeter aka Petshopboy (content creator and host of the podcast, The B List). They discuss taking a critical eye to Jennie's reunion strategy in light of this week's shocking social media reveal, Dr. Nicole's Ashley Darby energy (we stan!), and what makes a good Housewives spinoff (bcc: Porsha et al). Sarah and B may have sworn off books, but they're still ready to read - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 281!

Sarah hitches a ride to Salt Lake City, determined to set up an AG HQ in Mary's abandoned - and possibly condemned? - church, until she hears the voice of God (Manolo Blahnik), telling her to settle into the cloffice for an epic Zoom with one of her close friends and/or random acquaintances - when he talks about Shan, for whom he does not stan - James LaRosa (a multi-hyphenate writer, producer, director, creator, show runner, and aspiring Real Housewife). They settle into the spiritual People's People's Couch for a wide ranging discussion about why Whitney keeps fighting for a one-sided friendship/moment of accountability with Mary, Jen's inability to process filters and boundaries as anything but signs of weakness, and the difference between scripting and self producing on Orange County. Meredith may have left this convo as soon as Brooks was mentioned, but everyone else is fully clothed and very engaged - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 280!

Sarah hears that back row mezzanine seats have become available for Jen Shah's upcoming trial, and immediately contacts the SarSquad (her fish, PK), to arrange for tickets to opening night (it's a limited run/support the arts!). She thinks of no better person to unpack all the baggage associated with Jen's on and off camera work than AG's official legal correspondent, Emily D. Baker (former prosecutor, legal commentator, and the host of The Emily Show). They discuss how Jen's legal future may be impacted by her positioning herself as a victim onscreen, the complicated reality behind Whitney's booby prize (giving Seth a boob cake), and how the pressure of focusing on women's bodies often falls on women to resolve, and why it's important to see Heather as an imperfect person when it comes to the Lisa debate. Winter is here, let the opinions snow (a different kind, RHONY) - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 279!

Sarah decides that friendship starts at home, so she slides a Zillow link for Gina's casita into Jen's DMs. She then books a little family van (driven by Kevin, natch), and speeds on over to one of her fave friends-of on AG, and an investigative journalist every Housewife should have on speed dial, Tracie Morrissey (writer, producer, and cohost of the podcast "Pot Psychology"). They discuss what happens when cameras capture ongoing trauma with Alexia's family, the potential impact of Jen's on-screen behavior on her upcoming legal battle, and Meredith's friendship capital with the rest of the cast. If the world never sees Seth licking an edible birthday boob ever again, it will be too soon, but this convo is just in time - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 278!

Sarah arrives to Chateau Dubrow with a map provided by Noella and a warrant for receipts tucked into a bouquet provided by Sweet James, as she looks for secret footage from Heather's party that a producer may have left in the gifting room. She immediately gets lost in the entryway (who has a foyer connected to a foyer melded with 15 different shades of grey?), but thankfully finds her footing with an epic deep dive alongside content creator and spiritual advisor @BravoBravoDuckingBravo. They discuss the differences between friendship and alliance on Orange County and Salt Lake, the ways that the performative illusion of wealth colors storylines, the impact of trauma on Mary's emotional growth, and reports (since confirmed) that she skipped the reunion. Turns out Adrienne Maloof really does do magic, because her historic absence from a reunion has inspired other Housewives to disappear - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 277!

It's a post-Sarah-had-COVID spectacular! Sarah awakens from her 'think positive and test negative until you test positive and think negative' viral slumber (filled with dreams of her romping about with Archie Beador), for a sure-to-go-viral AG kiki with America's Sweetheart, and top two contender for fave OG of the AG, Damian Bellino (writer, producer, and co-host of the pod "You Might Know Her From"). They sit on the People's People's (Zoom) Couch for a post-quarantine catchup about the cost of fame (and family) upon joining Housewives (and Jen's gamble on both counts), the ways that the universal Housewives storyline of 'fraudulent' marriages/friendships has been impeded by financial/criminal enterprise (and what Miami's blockbuster reboot says about a possible return to form), and what Noella's already-complicated entry to the show means for her future on OC. Drinking game alert: have a chug of Mucinex every time Sarah whispers, 'I had COVID,' especially as she's yelping about Shan - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 276! Sarah says it's 277, but...she had COVID (everybody: drink).

Ho ho ho, did Erika know? With Christmas rapidly approaching (or as Sarah calls it, the National Day of Self-Gifting thankyousomuchHanukkahHarryandalsoMastercard), Sarah welcomes back a true holiday treat - no, not a beachside vacay with Archie and Shan - an open and vulnerable convo about Housewives psych with Vox senior editor, Rachel Miller (author, "The Art of Showing Up: How to Be There for Yourself and Your People"). They discuss RHONY's potentially homoerotic sensibilities examined through a queer lens, the difference between representation and expression, and Mary and Jen's binding standards for 'true' friendship on Salt Lake City. Sarah's cackle is the new elf on a shelf, something she frequently gifts - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 275!

Excited for another holiday season spending time with her loved ones (RHONY seasons 8-11), Sarah Zooms up another blessed event - a kiki with one of her fave outspoken content creators, and a temporary/ep specific Stan for Shan (more of a sympathizer, but Sarah will take it in any form), Christian Gray Snow (podcast host, Slut Pig Podcast and creator of the Slut Pig Shop). They discuss a possible formulation behind why certain Bravolebs become personal faves, whether Heather and Shannon are the "oil and vinegar" of OC (thanks, Tre), and Alexia's possibly-surprising star turn on the Miami reboot. Heather might be the low key villain, but that's just because she hasn't mailed Sarah some Colette - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 274!
