The Valley S3 E6 - E12
1w ago01:08:17Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailDeepti and Sean have finally caught up on THE VALLEY. Last time they talked about the Valley, they thought it was dull as nails. BUT THEN IT GOT GOOD and dark per usual. Danny is out of control with his denial and lying and Nia supporting "her man" is just so gross. Zach has been doing good work and entertaining the troops! Kristen - OH BOY. Kristen is GOING THROUGH IT and Sean and Deepti have a lot to say about it all, albeit from the perspective of childfree women...soooo take it with a grain of salt? Schwartz is providing zero entertainment, cMON. Deepti has been overly enjoying Brittany's plastic surgery healing journey while it's been making Sean sick to her stomach to watch. Lacey cannot stand Jesse so is she just dating him to be on the show? Important Note: Michelle is reportedly still dating Dr. Dre in real life!!!
Transcribe →Summer House S10 E20 "The Aftermath"
2w ago01:10:46Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailDeepti and Sean are RELIEVED this season of Summer House is FINALLLLLY OVER. It's been fun but dear lord it's been too much of Amanda and West being the worst humanity has to offer. One can only take so MUCH! Amanda had a sit-down with Lindsey and showed ZERO remorse yet again. Refused to even really acknowledge Ciara. Amanda played the tired ol' victim card for the 1,902,293,290th time in her life. West and Kyle sat down. Kyle's *adorable* dog Reese seemed to have recognized West a bit too much...clearly West has spent time with this dog! West did his usual word salad fake apology b.s. that the world is tired of...go AWAY dude. And finally...Ciara and Meija sit down. Deepti doesn't trust Meija with a ten foot pole. Thinks that she's still angling for West and is just using Ciara. BE CAREFUL, CIARA!!!!
Transcribe →In The City S1 E4 + General Pop Culture Meanderings
2w ago00:50:35Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailDeepti and Sean thought this In The City episode was a dud. Amanda is just lying through her teeth. Kenny is not compelling to watch these days so far. Plotlines are just kinda thin right now. Danielle thinking that her current guy wasn't cheating on his wife with her is laughable. Somehow Deepti and Sean ended up talking about country/electronic music mashups, the current burger (food) craze, Gary Oldman, Ralph Feinnes, a little bit of a mention of the 2026 CHAMPIONS the Knicks of course, Jon Stewart...
Transcribe →Summer House S10 E19 Reunion Part 3
2w ago00:52:15Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailDeepti and Sean feel like Lindsey at this point - they think they've really learned nothing. West and Amanda continued to share nothing and show zero emotion. Andy had to DRAAAAAG an apology out of Amanda for Ciara. Jesse could not stop crying. Lindsey wonderfully read West to filth at the end of the episode and West looked deranged while she was doing that. AND BIG BRAVO NEWS IS THAT WEST WAS OFFICIALLY FIRED on June 15th FROM SUMMER HOUSE!!!!! Will be interesting to see what happens with Amanda.ONE more episode for this season that dragged on longer than any human could have imagined. Bonus episode coming on Bravo coming up where West and Kyle have a sit-down, Lindsey and Amanda have a sit-down and Ciara and Meija have a sit-down. Hopefully it'll be juicy.
Transcribe →PCP EPISODE NUMBER 250!!! Summer House S10 E17 REUNION PART 2
3w ago01:02:33Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailDeepti and Sean are PISSED that Amanda and West are NOT EVEN PARTICIPATING in the reunion!! They are so zonked out and West just agrees to what everyone is saying to shut everyone up and deaden the discussion. Amanda is barely awake. What is she ON??? She left for, according to reports, 15-60 minutes at one point! Kyle gets pretty skewered for being a bad husband at one point. It gets dicey trying to continue to defend him. Many on the cast have a group huddle to lock in on how to nail West in this reunion. The episode ends with an amazing FaceTime convo we are privy to between Ciara and MONTANA GIRL!!!
Transcribe →In The City S1 E3
3w ago00:47:49Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailDeepti and Sean are still quite pleased with the Summer House spinoff In The City. This episode opened with a scene with Ciara, Amanda and West hanging out and it was absolutely insane to watch. Amanda and West are playing in Ciara's FACE! Diabolical.Deepti finally got activated with Kenny hate. Kenny and Whitney are so just a couple for television purposes, it's so phony and it sucks to watch. Lindsey makes up with Danielle probably just for show purposes to move the plot forward. Kyle is being messy (in a good way). Linsdsey has a terrible date with a douche.

Jun 100:50:05Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailDeepti and Sean are still happy so far with In The City, though it's hard to get fully into it since Summer House reunion mania is in such full force.Deepti wishes she could care more about the fact that Kenny is a d-bag but he's just so not compelling to her. Lindsey is doing a great job on the show. Danielle makes odd choices and thinks illogical things in life sometimes. Amanda remains whiny and mean as ever. Deepti and Sean had some thoughts on Andrea...one positive thought being that he seems like one of the nicest people on the planet...whhhhhich doesn't always make for great reality tv?? Sean has a tinfoil hat theory re: Lindsey.

Transcribe →Summer House S10 E16 - FINALE!!!!!
May 2400:50:15Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailDeepti and Sean are ELATED the finale finally AIRED!!! JEsus ChriST almighy we've been waiting forever. Amanda and West both exhibit worst-humans-ever behaviors. Kyle looks like he's on the verge of a serious breakdown the whole episode. Ciara still has no idea she's been played bigtime by West. Deepti remains incensed every time West is awful and Sean is tiiiired of him doing the same ol' thing. At the end of the episode, everyone is acting like the whole show is over. There is so much solemn in the air.
