Christi and Kelly discuss the perceived fakeness of the drama in The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.

Episode 9 of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island ("Questionable Behavior") has Christi and Kelly asking the only question that really matters with this show: what are we actually watching here?

The Miss Slam Pig sash, the pizza pitch, the trivia night chaos, the yacht trip, the car argument, the dramatic family backstory — all of it has them wondering where the real relationships end, and the manufactured Housewives machine begins. They also react to some local Rhode Island tea from a listener on Patreon, who lives in the state and might not know some behind-the-scenes details.
