Something Ho: Part 1 (Michael Arceneaux on RHOA Reunion Part 1, RHUGT, RHOC, The Valley, and more)

Before relishing in a main course, sometimes you have to suffer through some wilted lettuce that may or may not be contaminated (do not ask the RHOC ladies if they believe in the CDC). And so, Sarah realizes that before she can throw a celebration of life (not in the funereal way, bcc Phaedra Parks, on call), for part 1 of the RHOA reunion, she needs to unpack some other....stuff. And who better to partner with on an epic two-part deep dive than Sarah's pal, the teller of truths, a man who knows the power of wordplay except when it comes from Kelli: Michael Arceneaux (New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, and Bravoholic). Over the course of this bedazzled spectacular, Sarah and Michael unpack RHUGT's premiere (and just-released clips from the second episode), Nene's triumphant return to Bravo (and prestige placement on the ep), Vicki's locked-in LinkedIn persona (and outdated instincts on what makes a all-star ensemble show work), a misunderstanding around conflict as core, the difference between sharing vulnerability and amplifying bad actors (Slade is too Smiley), possible solutions to fix RHOC, Andy's prestige work as mediator at the RHOA and Valley reunions (amid two very different environments), Porsha and K. Michelle's leadership, Drew's Sheree Era (She By Toxic Date), Angela and Kelli's social media battle, Kelli's projection about money and men, ruminating on Team Shamea v. Pandora's box, and a to be continued on Phaedra v. Pinky. RHOC was in Vegas, and what happens in Vegas, didn't happen at all - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 823! Part 1! Thank You to AG's Sponsors!
