| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Is This Real Life, a Bravo podcast that relates our favorite shows to our own lives in the world around us. |
| 0:18.4 | I'm your host, Mandy Sleutzer. Let's get to it. |
| 0:33.7 | Hi, everyone. I hope you had a nice week. We were gifted to so much in Bravo this week. I mean, |
| 0:41.8 | we started out with the interview that Andy had with the Grand Dame, Karen Hugar of Potomac. |
| 0:49.3 | On Tuesday, we had the Summer House premiere. I know there are other shows going on, but I think that one was just huge this week. And Wednesday, Southern Charm, Thursday, Beverly Hills. I know a lot of you are watching VPR and the Valley Persian style. I just simply cannot take on new shows at the moment, so that's why I'm not covering those. |
| 1:13.2 | It really feels like a lot to keep up with the four that I am covering. But I am enjoying it, |
| 1:19.5 | and I'm really looking forward to the new Real Housewives of Rhode Island. It looks bizarre to me. |
| 1:27.4 | They all kind of seem to look alike. But |
| 1:29.2 | Andy said, remember, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, season one, we thought that Lisa Barlow |
| 1:35.4 | and Meredith Marks looked alike. And they kind of still do, but you know, you'd never mix them up |
| 1:41.1 | now. So looking forward to especially seeing Ashley I. |
| 1:44.9 | Kineti on screen again, she was on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. I just think she's very |
| 1:52.5 | authentically herself. And I'm looking forward to seeing her in a different stage in her life |
| 1:58.6 | when she's married and she's a mom and, you know, just to |
| 2:02.6 | see how she's grown up a bit. And I'm excited to see Dolores back on camera. They didn't show her |
| 2:09.2 | in the promo, but you know that she's going to be there. We found out this week that the |
| 2:15.7 | O.G. Roney ladies are getting a show on E in Palm Beach, |
| 2:22.3 | which is interesting. It's going to be Luann, Jol Sarin, Ramona, Kelly Ben Simone, that felt like an odd one, |
| 2:30.8 | and Sonia Morgan. I mean, apparently Bravo's fine with it, but like, do they have |
| 2:36.1 | another choice? I actually think Bravo's happy because it gets these problematic women off of their |
| 2:43.1 | backs. You know, people have been saying that they wanted to see these women back on screen. Well, |
| 2:48.5 | now you can. You just have to flip the channel to E. And so they're |
