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 Slutskerzger. Let's get to it.

Hi, everyone. I hope you had a wonderful week. I really feel like Bravo is firing on all cylinders

right now because we have so many shows happening. I am actually having difficulty keeping up.

It's a busy time of year. Work has gotten really crazy. And I just realized today that I hadn't watched the

Real Housewives of New York. So not going to cover it in this week's episode. But I'm going to

every day, but since he quit, Vanita has not spoken with him.

So, like, what is going on? I am very, very curious. I really like one of the new girls that's on,

Molly. We got to meet her. She's a former model. I believe she was on America's next top model.
