About this episode

Heather McDonald and Lori Altermann discuss the chaos in the Bravo universe, including relationship issues and upcoming season rumors.

I sit down with the hilarious Lori Altermann to break down the absolute chaos currently erupting across the Bravo universe, starting with The Valley and how the pressure cooker of reality TV is finally exposing the massive cracks in Danny and Nia’s marriage. We’re going deep on Summer House to figure out West Wilson’s next move after his shocking fallout with the group, especially now that the lines between friendship and betrayal have been completely blurred. Lori is also getting very honest about still being hot for Southern Charm’s Craig Conover, which leads me to share a personal story about him that you won't want to miss, before we tackle the mind-blowing rumors that Teresa and Melissa have actually become best friends for the new season of New Jersey.
