About this episode

Amy Phillips and Deanna recap the latest episode of The Valley, discussing its themes of drama, relationships, and character dynamics.

Amy Phillips and Deanna recap The Valley (and the after show), saying the after show is more enjoyable and noting the series’ Vanderpump Rules vibe, including another Domino’s party. They discuss Zack and Benji’s chaotic housewarming—folding chairs, no opener, a heartfelt “Oscar speech,” and the drama of Zack’s ex-roommate allegedly destroying a Monster-branded fridge, sofa, and TV—plus how Kristen’s generosity and Zack paying her back reflects well on both. They roast Tom Schwartz’s disheveled confessionals, cover his relationship with “Kiana/Kiani,” and debate why Scheana and Brock aren’t on the show while Lala fits in better this season. They criticize Danny’s sneaky drinking and misogynistic behavior toward Nia, note the couple’s therapy/counseling and possible financial motivations to stay on TV, and touch on Jesse and Michelle’s divorce, a secret $300K loan, and Michelle’s claims Jesse quickly cycled through women before landing with wealthy Lacey. They also highlight Janet’s perspective shift while Jason is injured, and condemn Brandon for not picking up Brittany’s pain meds and wanting to be paid.
