God is her savior, her husband is her king, and her body? It's sinful... This week we light a candle in honor of the blessed patron saint of National Booty Awareness Month, Alexis Bellino. We talk religion, glamour, motherhood, Jim, the Costa Rica takedown, the art of bragging, Heather Dubrow, Alexis Couture, the princesses and puppies party, and Alexis' illustrious acting career.

We're back! To celebrate the start of a brand new season we raise a glass of TipsyGirl™ and salute our favorite tragicomic heroine, Ms. Sonja Tremont Morgan. We talk Sonja's many voices, spotting Sonja in the wild, her copious meltdowns, the TownHouse™, the ToasterOven™, being the beta of the group, sex, comedy, and living in the past.

We're taking a brief break from Real Housewives - excepting some minor Barbara K chat - for a trip to the Scottish Highlands where we discuss our shared reality TV obsession du jour: The Traitors! We reminisce about our student days playing the parlor game from whence the show draws its inspiration, then we talk the similarities and differences between the American and British iterations, our doppelgänger hosts, most memorable contestants, the often shockingly bad gameplay, and that breakfast scene. Warning, here be plenty of massive spoilers... Instagram.com/HousewivesArchives
What do we want for Christmas? Just you! Grab a mince pie and settle in for this one-off festive extravaganza! In the spirit of the season, we get all nostalgic for classic RHONY and discuss Housewives Secret Santa, our perfect Housewives Christmas, and our favorite Bluestone Manor memories. We also petition for Luann to appear in Ellie's next cabaret, we talk our rose and thorn from our recent New York trip, and Ellie recounts her Airbnb eviction story. Plus, we reveal our grand plans for The Housewives Archives in 2023... Instagram.com/Housewives Archives
Nobody asked for it, but we did it anyway. This week, we gather one last time for a season-finale-cum-roundtable-discussion about our beloved Jersey lunatics. We talk our favorite Housewives Archives episodes, impressions, lifestyle porn in New Jersey, making Rosie a Housewife, our favorite RHONJ moments, and Danielle Staub fan fiction...

This week, the name on everybody's lips is Luis Ruelas, aka the new beau of hopeless romantic Teresa Giudice. Is he a con artist, or is he just a harmless Jersey bro with an over-zealous penchant for self help and a vague affinity with cultism? You decide! We talk the video that got everyone's tongues wagging, Jennifer's new nose, Bill's affair, Dolores' relationship with her Old School roots, Traci and Tiki Barber, and the blow-up at the Jersey Shore. RHOBH Recap: 10:30ish RHONJ Discussion: 22:00ish Instagram.com/HousewivesArchives
This week, we take a break from our Jersey deep-dive to discuss the breaking news that is Teresa's wedding: specifically, the sentient mass of hair pieces sitting atop her head. We also recap this week's episode of Beverly Hills, wherein we discuss the problem with Lisa Rinna, her business endeavors, Erika's sexuality, and the treatment of Crystal's eating disorder.

Danielle's wearing something very expensive, she's soaking wet, Teresa's in her ear, and she just can't help herself... But first, we talk pineapple pizzas on Love Island and the hilarity that is Jamie Lee Curtis flogging wind chimes to Dorit on Beverly Hills. Then, we bid adieu to Danielle - for the second time - as we wrap up our RHONJ Season 10 breakdown. We talk iconic Housewives costumes, that hair pull, the ethics and treatment of violence in reality television, Danielle ratting-out Teresa, Danielle's swan song Reunion performance, and Teresa and Joe's ill-fated Italian reunion...

We analyze Jackie Goldschneider, debate the kids birthday party fiasco, talk money and how you spend it, and of course, Danielle's on-again-off-again relationship with Marty.

RHOBH Recap: 8:00ish RHONJ Discussion: 12:00ish Instagram.com/HousewivesArchives
This week we say goodbye to Siggy Flicker in the most on-brand way possible: by throwing herself down the stairs in a fit of mania! But before that, we talk the latest season of Love Island, recap Beverly Hills, and wrap up Season 8 of RHONJ. We discuss the trip to Milan, Hitler analogies, anti-semitism, Kim D as a madam and possible genocider, and we learn how to spell Posche courtesy of Teresa! RHOBH Recap: 12:00ish RHONJ Discussion: 22:30ish Instagram.com/HousewivesArchives
This week, we discuss one of the biggest 180s on The Real Housewives as Siggy Flicker well and truly goes off the rails for her second and final season... and it's all because of a certain cake. We talk new housewife Margaret Josephs and her pigtails, the return of Danielle, "Welcome back, scumbag," Ellie's love of Dolores, "Soggy Flicker," the girls' trip to Boca, and a two/three-tier cake getting thrown across the restaurant. Plus, Ellie recounts her recent odyssey to the holy Mecca that is Envy by Melissa Gorga... Instagram.com/HousewivesArchives
This week, we wrap up season 7 of RHONJ and say goodbye to Jacqueline as she speeds off in an Uber whilst laughing maniacally. We discuss the fallout of the Vermont trip, the Envy Fashion Show, Joe Giudice going "away," Jacqueline losing her voice (both literally and figuratively), and the re-writing of history at the Reunion. Plus, we get an illuminating, if disturbing, insight into the circumstances of Joe Gorga losing his virginity! Instagram.com/HousewivesArchives
It's a reboot of a reboot! This week, we briefly touch on the thrilling season premiere of RHOBH before taking an in-depth look at Season 7 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Teresa's freshly out of "camp," Joe's about to go into "camp," Teresa and Jacqueline have made up, then they've fallen out, it's hard to keep up! We talk Melissa's new boutique/money pit, the newbies Siggy and Dolores, Jacqueline and the "crazy ex-girlfriend" trope, cutting Kathy and Rosie out like cancer, and the ill-fated trip to Vermont where a certain ass is threatened to get raged on.

Instagram.com/HousewivesArchives TW: Assault and domestic abuse
This week, we're taking a break from RHONJ to talk Bravo's newest literary venture, "Not All Diamonds and Rosé" by Dave Quinn. The “Paradise Lost” of our times, its undeniably epic in scope and scale. It’s sprawling, it’s ostentatious, it's candid, it’s funny, it's tragic, and it’s a legitimization of our longtime thesis that these shows are truly literary. We talk the origins of The Real Housewives, the importance of Tamra Judge, the Housewives that didn't take part in the book (we're looking at you, Bethenny), and those whose voices leapt off the page. Instagram.com/HousewivesArchives
This week, we take a look at Season Five, where the seemingly endless Giudice-Gorga saga is put to bed (for now at least) as we all take a trip to Lake George for some healing group therapy. And a fist fight! We talk retreats, team-building, how Bravo treats physical fighting, apologies, Kim D's protégées: Penny, Jennifer, and Jan, the Arizona trip, Johnny the Greek, and miracle-worker-cum-fembot Dr. V.
