The Odyssey Casting Went Too Far + Devin Booker Wants Kendall Jenner Back
You’re telling me The Odyssey isn’t based on true events? If I wasn’t already confused, just keep adding A-list actors and Greek gods until I have absolutely no idea what’s happening. And yet... I’m LOCKED. THE. F. IN.
Ryan joins me this week to break down our takes on The Odyssey, why we’re fully captivated for all 172 minutes, our one big gripe with Christopher Nolan, and why we’re begging Hollywood to give us some fresh faces... although when it comes to Robert Pattinson…. keep doing you.
Am I the only one calling what I think Devin Booker’s real play is with Kendall Jenner? Him being spotted with Irina Shayk can’t be a coincidence... or maybe it is. Either way, let me know your theories, because my University of Kentucky roots will always have me rooting for Devin and Kendall.
And finally, I'm climbing onto my soapbox for my girl Morgan Stewart McGraw. Because if DeuxMoi won't do it.. I WILL.

Everyone Is Fighting: In the City Reunion, Alix Earle's Confession & Paige Lorenze Influencer Debate
We’re getting into Alix Earle opening up about online hate and why it feels like we’ve hit a point where people are way too comfortable tearing strangers apart on the internet. Then we dive into the Paige Lorenze “NO INFLUENCERS” controversy, because it has officially taken the internet by storm.
And now for the main event… we have to unpack In the City Reunion Part 2. We’re breaking down whether Lindsay Hubbard is carrying the show or just playing the reality TV game better than everyone else, comparing Amanda Batula’s Summer House reunion performance to In the City and why it’s VERY telling, questioning whether the Danielle/Lindsay friendship was ever as deep as we thought, and West Wilson rage baiting the internet. And of course, we discuss Amanda and Kyle’s relationship and beat that dead horse one. more. time. And we’re making our plea to production: what needs to change before Season 2, and who we’d actually want to see take over for Andy Cohen one day.

When Will Amanda Batula Actually Get It?
The In the City reunion left me with one major question: when will Amanda Batula actually get it? Chi Chi and I are breaking down the apologies that worked (and the ones that definitely didn’t), Kyle Cooke taking the high road while revealing who really betrayed him, Amanda’s “cool girl” performance is slipping, why Amanda still can’t answer if she is in love with West Wilson, Kenny vs. Lindsay and Lindsay maybe meeting her match, Lexi’s questionable moves, single Kyle and Amanda’s deep rooted jealousy. I said what I said! Plus, we had to talk about the Real Housewives of New York City trailer… because Carole Radziwill is back, and she has a LOT to answer for.
