About this episode

The hosts discuss the latest happenings in Real Housewives of Orange County, including personal conflicts and celebrity news.

Amy "Rose" Phillips and Deanna "Betty White" Cheng kick off Friday chatting about a fly in the house and home-cooked “slop” dinners before reacting to a TMZ report that Brittany Cartwright filed a domestic violence temporary restraining order against Jax Taylor, alleging threats, physical attacks, property destruction, and seeking custody of their son Cruz. They note Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives returns September 10, then dive into Real Housewives of Orange County frustrations: Vicki’s tense energy and missing “woo-hoo,” her leaving a trip early, and questions about her return motives. They discuss the pool party that didn’t feel like a pool party, “Carmela’s” cheating boyfriend’s awkward introduction, the “Betty White” comment, and Carmela’s Oppenheim Group job helping Heather’s daughter. They cover Heather’s photo positioning, Shannon’s finances (including Real for Real losses, $3,000 Uber spend, and dog Troy chewing $12,000 in shoes), Heather allegedly calling Carmela trashy, and Emily and Shane’s marriage tension, which they believe will be fine.
