Sarah watches the RHONY finale and immediately is filled with so much anger she becomes the secret ingredient in the next round of Ubah Hot. Bewildered, frustrated, and filled with yes, just a wee bit of rage, she takes to the cloffice for a 193-hour deep dive. Part 1: a profound misinterpretation of what qualities as entertainment, Bravo's wildly irresponsible lack of care for its audience, Sarah's feeling of why Brynn should not return to the franchise, the ways empathy should not become a permission slip to avoid accountability, and why the audience reaction should - but probably won't - be a network wake-up call. Part 2? A moment by moment episode deep dive, and Brynn's post-finale interview with Rolling Stone. The RHONY reboot was supposed to return the franchise to a non-toxic form, and spoiler alert, it ended in Chernobyl - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 634! Part 1!

TW: this episode includes discussion about rape/sexual assault, trauma, mental health, and brief mentions of domestic violence and suicide.

Highlighted Organizations Supporting Civilians in Israel and Gaza:

NewGround: a Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change: NewGround envisions an America where Muslims and Jews and others, both secular and religious, model lasting partnerships and engagement in authentic communication and mutual cooperation.

Standing Together: Standing Together is a progressive grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel against the occupation and for peace, equality, and social justice. We know that the majority have far more in common than that which sets us apart and only a tiny minority benefits from the status quo. The future that we want — peace and independence for Israelis and Palestinians, full equality for everyone in this land, and true social, economic, and environmental justice — is possible. To achieve this future, we must stand together as a united front: Jewish and Palestinian, secular and religious, Mizrahi and Ashkenazi, rural and urban, and people of all genders and sexual orientations. As the largest Jewish-Arab grassroots movement in Israel, we are committed to creating an alternative to our existing reality and building the political strength to make this transformation possible. https://www.standing-together.org/en

Solutions Not Sides: Solutions Not Sides has been teaching skills of empathy, active listening, communication, critical thinking and conflict resolution through exploration of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since 2010. Our programme is based on three key values: non-violence, equality for all, and the rejection of hatred.https://solutionsnotsides.co.uk/

Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF): PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine, delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most. Access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare is severely limited. Urgent action is needed. With your support, we can continue this vital work, ensuring that the over one million children of Gaza receive the urgent care they need and deserve. https://www.pcrf.net/
