What's up Bros?! On today's episode, we start out by wrapping up the RHONY reunion. Not a whole lot happened in either of these reunion episodes, but this was a solid first season for a new show. It seems as though Sai and Erin both got the memo that they didn't have the best season because they both seem to be doing damage control. Sai does get deeper into her story with her mother and why growing up that way has made her a little closed off emotionally. It was nice to hear her be vulnerable finally. Utah was a wild card this reunion and Jessel comes out the winner this season after her rise to fame in the Bravo world. The ladies all appear to still be getting along after this reunion and it appeared as though nobody wanted to be the bad guy. It was a lot of apologizing and a lot smoothing things over and left some things to be desired but all in all... Solid first season, and we're hoping they bring this cast back to give these ladies a shot at a second season to build off of a decent first go round. Then were onto Southern Charm and we recap two episodes. It was important for us to touch on the passing of Olivia's brother, Conner. Although most of us watch these shows to entertain ourselves or turn our brains off, there are important reminders sometimes that these are real people, and they go through real issues and tragedies. Watching the last two episodes was extremely emotional but seeing the cast rally around Olivia and support her was incredible to see and her strength overall is inspiring. Shep seems to believe that there is a friendship in he and Taylor's future, and she seems open to the idea as well when the two of them are on a dog walk together. Austen is stuck between a rock and a hard place because he can relate to the passing of a sibling. And while he wants to comfort Olivia and be there for her, due to his transgressions with Taylor, he's not sure of the best way forward. The two of them do end up connecting and we agree that he is able to connect with Olivia about this way more than anyone else in the group. Is it going to lead to something more? We hope not, this should simply be about making sure Olivia is ok, and for the time being, Austen's priorities seem straight. Taylor has a weird response when questioned if her being near Olivia was the best move right now. She claims she's Olivia's best friend even though she just kissed Austen... and were seeing Taylor facing some backlash for some of her erratic behavior lately, and while she does deserve to hear some things for what she did to Olivia, Whitney had no right to be sharing her nude photo with the group. Lets get that part straight. Madison seems to want justice as she points out a double standard for Taylor and that the group has leniency for Taylor but did not for Madison. As far as Taylor's behavior, is she going through a rough patch due to Shep? Will she be able to clean it up and get back to everyones good graces?
