<p>I got to talk to one of the big-time guys, Ryan Bailey! We sorta go all over the place - we get into nerdy actor life stuff, what it's like to navigate friendships with Bravolebs, and OF COURSE a little bit of Bravo!&nbsp;</p><p>We recorded this the day before the BH trailer dropped, so he gave me his predictions for the season of BH. He actually thought that Erika was going to get a REDEMPTION season... after seeing her scream "I DON'T GIVE A F*CK ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE BUT ME" I think we can assume that's not going to happen.</p><p>PLEASE RATE ME 5 STARS, LEAVE A NICE REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE &amp; SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS :)</p><p><em><strong>FOLLOW ME ON IG, TWITTER, TIKTOK, &amp; FB - @shespeaksbravo</strong></em></p><p><em>YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND RYAN BAILEY RIGHT? ;)</em></p>

<p>It's another mega-sized 2-hour recap show for you guys! Because I missed last week, Taria was a trooper and recapped both Episodes 9 and 10 with me! I had to bring in reinforcements to help me decide how I feel on Jersey. And after a 2 hour recording session... I still don't know where I stand! One thing I do know for sure is that Jackie is incredibly brave for sharing her eating disorder journey with us!&nbsp;</p><p>We get into the complicated dynamics regarding Teresa's workout line, Gia's involvement in it, and the body-shaming at the softball game. Taria fills me in on her concerns when it comes to Dolores, and I was SHOCKED by some of her statements; they really made me think.&nbsp;</p><p>I let Taria take the lead on how we *really* feel about Teresa, and once she opened the door, I walked right through and spoke my TRUTH! I'm sure Tre Huggers will be coming for me :(</p><p>This is the most emotional episode I've recorded so far because the Jackie ED stuff hits very close to home. It is a little scary for me to post sooooooo... here goes nothing!</p><p>PLEASE RATE ME 5 STARS, LEAVE A NICE REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE &amp; SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS :)</p><p><em><strong>FOLLOW ME ON IG, TWITTER, TIKTOK, &amp; FB - @shespeaksbravo</strong></em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>WANT MORE TARIA?</strong></p><p><strong>PODCAST: </strong><em>What Else is Going On with Taria Faison</em></p><p><strong>Social Media - </strong><em>@weigopodcast</em></p>

<p>I am coming to you live from Spring Break in Florida! And by Spring Break, I mean Vero Beach, Florida. And by Vero Beach, Florida I mean a retirement community where I am taking care of my 99 year old grandmother :)</p><p>All that to say that my wifi connection is spotty, so the quality of this podcast is not my best work. But nothing will stop the pod! Thank you to Pia and Curtis for being such good sports through all of the technical difficulties!</p><p>We first recap Kandi and the Gang and discuss how much Philip has warmed our hearts. Hell, even Patrick (that idiot) won us over swinging on that hammock drinking his juice. The cast and their relationships are forming into such special television. Except TODD! We finally see what Mama Joyce has been talking about all these years!!</p><p>Next up is Summer House and you KNOW we all were riding hard for Danielle. Our true MVP. Our true QUEEN! Ciara is lucky she didn't throw that glass at Pia or Curtis, because they get into what they woulda done and uhhhhhh.... tune in to hear about it!</p><p>PLEASE RATE ME 5 STARS, REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE &amp; SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS :)</p><p><em><strong>FOLLOW ME ON IG, TWITTER, TIKTOK, &amp; FB - @shespeaksbravo</strong></em></p>

<p>I'm pulling a Bravo move and sneaking in a Kandi and the Gang recap inside a Summer House recap. Even if I recruit 1 new viewer, it was worth it! If you have worked in a restaurant, you will connect to this show! It is not like VPR, where we never saw any authentic operational scenes. Kandi and the Gang gives us real restaurant dynamics, and the cast is stellar!</p><p>We also have a new guest on the pod! Curtis is an old friend of mine who is a huge reality tv fan! He will definitely be returning. He was perfect to join Pia and me in recapping Kandi and Summer House. You get 3 different perspectives on the Lindsay/Ciara/Paige/Austen/Craig situation, which has become an EXHAUSTING conversation on social media, if I'm being honest.&nbsp;</p><p>PLEASE RATE, REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE &amp; SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS :)</p><p><em><strong>FOLLOW ME ON IG, TWITTER, TIKTOK, &amp; FB - @shespeaksbravo</strong></em></p><p><br></p>

<p>My friend Pia is back to help me dissect that utterly insane episode of Summer House! She is fully Team Lindsay, and I am a bit more critical of our chaos queen. It is interesting to get 2 different perspectives on such a polarizing situation in the Bravoverse!</p><p>I recap that total filler RHONJ episode, I HATE WHEN THEY DO THAT!! I explain the ways they could have fit in more of the good stuff rather than clearly dragging out the season with those BS scenes like Dolores fake shopping for her mom with Frank (insert eye roll).</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

<p>We can finally put that dreadful RHOSLC reunion to bed. Goodnight! Sweet dreams! Go away...&nbsp;</p><p>No Summer House this week so I got off easy (I'll take it!). I get into RHONJ and discuss my very real concerns regarding Louie's love bombing and Teresa's inability to see it. I also cover Jennifer's journey through reopening a 10-year-old wound that is Bill's affair, and how lucky we are that we get such a raw and layered season.</p><p>PLEASE RATE, REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE &amp; SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS :)</p><p><em><strong>FOLLOW ME ON IG, TWITTER, TIKTOK, &amp; FB - @shespeaksbravo</strong></em></p>

<p>Mattie is one of my first friends on IG!! She's also a huge Euphoria fan, so therefore the perfect choice to discuss that Finale. We really focused on what we wish we had gotten more of from the LAST EPISODE FOR 2 YEARS! The audacity of Sam Levinson! He left so many holes! So many questions!

<p>Nyemade, That African Butterfly, joins me to talk about that EPIC Summer House episode. We break down the Lindsay/Ciara/Austen triangle, discuss our frustrations with Amanda (yes, Amanda), and how we hope Lindsay got some birthday booty.</p><p>I then recap RHOSLC, and I do NOT hold back on Heather. Right before I sat down to record, I saw some receipts that changed my whole perspective on the group dynamics. Needless to say, I came in HOT!</p><p>PLEASE RATE, REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE &amp; SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS :)</p><p><em><strong>FOLLOW ME ON IG, TWITTER, TIKTOK, &amp; FB - @shespeaksbravo</strong></em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Want more Nyemade:</strong></p><p><strong>YouTube</strong> - <em>African Butterfly</em></p><p><strong>Instagram</strong> - <em>@thatafricanbutterfly</em></p>

<p>I have TikTok stars on the pod today! Lauren @thezenblonde and John @itsjohnjoseph are here to share their DIFFERENT (than mine) opinions on RHONJ and RHOSLC! We talk about Housewife swapping between franchises, Teresa gaslighting the viewers, and John breaks my heart over his hatred of Lisa Barlow.</p><p>I also recap Summer House and part one of the Miami Reunion. I get into Kyle and Amanda, Larsa's "real" booty, and I explain why Miami casting could teach OC a thing or two!</p><p>PLEASE RATE, REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE &amp; SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS :)</p><p><em><strong>FOLLOW ME ON IG, TWITTER, TIKTOK, &amp; FB - @shespeaksbravo</strong></em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Want more Lauren and John:</strong></p><p><strong>Lauren Podcast - </strong><em>The Zen Blonde with Lauren Skae</em></p><p><strong>Lauren TikTok &amp; IG - </strong><em>@thezenblonde</em></p><p><strong>John TikTok - </strong><em>@itsjohnjoseph</em></p><p><strong>John IG</strong><em> - @johnjosephmusic</em></p>

<p>Donny is watching The Office FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE!! I couldn't believe it, so I had to have him on to share his thoughts. Bingeing the series fresh in 2022 is a whole different experience than what I had. I am happy to report that Donny hates Pam too :)</p><p>We go on some fun TV tangents, like why we both dislike reboots, and which shows had the best series finales.

<p>In lieu of a full recap episode, my friend Diana Gebbia joins me to do a light State of the Union on RHOM, RHOSLC, RHONJ, and Summer House.</p><p>We discuss how Kyle and Amanda could absolutely divorce and still maintain a good working relationship. We would get the opportunity to watch a friend group navigate such a big split. This is our official pitch to both Bravo and Kymanda :)</p><p>PLEASE RATE, REVIEW, AND SUBSCRIBE!

<p>How amazing was that Summer House episode?? As a white woman, I know that I can't understand where Mya and Ciara are coming from. So I brought back my good friend, Pia, a beautiful black woman, to share her thoughts and experience.</p><p>I also struggle to figure out my stance on RHONJ. It's a tricky little beast and I need to see more before I can land on my decision.</p><p>Oh and I guess I recap RHOM.... but I wasn't happy about it. I explain my change of heart, but I would love to hear your thoughts. Maybe I'm just being too tough!
