In The City S1 E2
1w ago00:50:05Tap to summarizeDeepti 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!!!!!
2w ago00:50:15Tap to summarizeDeepti 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.

2w ago00:56:14Tap to summarizeDeepti and Sean are THRILLED about the new show In The City starring Summer House people and other similarly situated disasters/joys-to-watch. Thank god Bravo finally listened to the fans and started following everyone in New York City. We've been WAITING!!!!! Amanda and Kyle drama continue to drive us crazy.

Transcribe →Summer House S10 E15 - PENULTIMATE EPISODE
3w ago00:48:52Tap to summarizeDeepti and Sean both cannot believe this episode was NOT the finale AND simultaneously are so happy that there is one more actual whole episode left. This season just continues to rivet! This week, Amanda and West so inappropriate embrace and West does a side chest cupping and it's CRAZY to see. How are they doing this all in the house!?! Kyle and Carl have an almost fight that resolved in the sweetest makeup sesh. Those two really are the true ones with true love for each other in the house!! Cannot wait for the season finale!!

4w ago00:47:29Tap to summarizeDeepti and Sean haven't lost any steam on being obsessed with Scamanda. It's the penultimate* episode and Amanda is batsh*t as hell!!! Her talk with Mia on the beach!!!!??!? The explosive dinner scene at the end was crazy town. Lindsey was totally egging Kyle and Amanda was LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT. What's up with West pulling up his chair to "protect" Amanda??? This was all bonkers. *EDIT - turns out this was NOT the penultimate episode!! we all just THOUGHT it was going to be!
Transcribe →Ladies of London S4 E9 + E10 (SEASON FINALE)
May 500:36:34Tap to summarizeDeepti and Sean are so sad to say bye to the reboot of Ladies of London. One of the best new shows on Bravo!!! Mark and Kimi and Martha are absolute perfection. Margo was awful but gotta admit....a pretty darn good villain? Her panic attack, which Mark let everyone know on Watch What Happens Live she reportedly told someone was "an Oscar-worthy-performance", was UNHINGED!!!!! And now she's trying to say her hormones are imbalanced?? And that's why she was acting insane!?!? Puh-lease.Mark showed a real breakdown at Myka's etiquette event, which was kind of crazy to see. It was nice though to see him show some vulnerability. Mark is so utterly adorable and fun and we all need him on our televisions forever. And watching him attempt to have a convo with Margo only to just run out of there after a short time after she accused him of HITTING ON HER...mon dieu.Ladies of London will be missed. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH SEASON 5?? New cast members? Old ones fired? Time will tell.
Transcribe →The Valley S3 E2-E5
May 500:27:30Tap to summarizeDeepti and Sean discuss a bit of a dull start to the third season of The Valley. Janet is still holding onto the same storylines as last season. Deepti oddly is finding the post partum storylines for Nia and Kristen compelling. Both Sean and Deepti are over the Schwartz "awww shucks" shtick. The highlight of the season so far actually is any scene with Jesse and his girlfriend Lacey. WHEW! She dominates him. Zach is looking good on his GLP1s. Benji still has not said a word.
Transcribe →Summer House S10 E13
May 401:28:26Tap to summarizeDeepti and Sean are back for more Summer House drama. Amanda blatantly is losing her mind more and more overtly with each passing episode. The WAY she reacted to Jesse saying Ciara and West were going for drinks after Carl's Soft/Bar opening....YIKES. It was a vision to see. Deepti is getting really annoyed with Lindsey's mean girl vibe...just could not handle the interaction with Carl's mom on top of being constantly shady to Carl. Sean thinks it's so obvious she's clearly not over everything. Deepti thinks Amanda and West must have been egging each other on in some crazy narrative against Ciara for so long. That's just one of the few explanations possible for how Amanda and West were acting in the audio leaks from the reunion. Sean cannot get over Sabrina's sartorial decisions. Lol.
