Welcome to Is This Real Life, a Bravo podcast that relates our favorite shows to our own lives in the world around us.

I'm your host, Mandy Slezger. Let's get to it.

And the only person she's ever shown any interest in

being friends with is Ayan. And I think that puts her at odds with the rest of the cast. And it makes her

not as good of a housewife, in my opinion, because she doesn't engage with anyone. It's like she thinks

she's above them. It's so odd. And Taleline, who, you know, put her mouth where she
