Episode description as stored

On this Tuesday episode, Dylan is joined by Watch What Crappens co-host Ben Mandelker for a wide-ranging Bravo deep dive. They break down why Summer House continues to thrive while The Valley feels stuck, what’s working so well about In The City, and why Real Housewives of Rhode Island has become Bravo’s biggest breakout success story. Plus, Ben shares his thoughts on RHORI’s Slam Pig drama, Liz’s villain reputation, and who may or may not survive a second season. They also discuss RHOA’s resurgence, Angela Oakley and K. Michelle’s impact on the cast, why Bravo succeeds where Netflix reality TV falls short, and whether Housewives are simply more entertaining when they’re a little older. Finally, Ben talks about bringing Watch What Crappens to the cabaret stage with his new live show, "Forbidden Housewives".
