Summary

Whether it's Whitney unpacking her childhood trauma on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City or Crystal and Garcelle explaining microaggressions on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Bravo and Housewives franchises are proving to be ill-equipped to have these complex and nuanced conversations.

0:00.0	Hello, everyone back to another episode of the reality is. As always, it is Nour. I am riding solo today,
0:22.8	and there is so much to talk about. There's so much to talk about. We're going to talk about
0:26.9	Rale House House of Salt Lake City. We're going to talk about Beverly Hills. I'm sure you know
0:32.6	that I am irritated. I am irritated watching this Beverly Hills reunion. There are so many,
0:41.3	there are so many bad takes by white people on the internet. You guys, there's so many bad
0:46.9	takes. There are so many bad takes. And it's just, it's very indicative of the viewership of Bravo and like you know I guess I have to

2:09.3	was heavily involved with Jersey and maybe Potomac. I know he was involved in Atlanta, but I think
2:15.6	that there's a very, we've always said
2:18.7	this. There's a big difference between how Jersey's made, how Atlanta's made, how Potomac's made,
2:23.1	versus how Beverly Hills is made, and how Salt Lake City is made, and how Dallas is made.
2:28.2	I think there's a big difference, and I think it's becoming very evident to me that there are
