E38 - RHOSLC Toothbrush Gate & RHONY Feuds
Did Lisa Barlow really get invited to the Oscars? Is Erin accusing Hailey of breaking up a marriage basically the equivalent of being called “jam”?

E37 - RHOSLC vs. RHONY
A new housewife has entered the Salt Lake villa, and we discuss how it could potentially change the alliances on RHOSLC and move the show forward. RHONY is chugging full steam ahead, and are we getting an idea of the two teams with Jessel and Erin being the opposing leaders? Next Gen ended, but we still want more!
