Bravo Breakdowns

Michele and Lauren are joined by chaos connoisseur Ellory Smith to break down The Valley Season 2 premiere — Jax is still in denial, Janet sucks, like a lot, and Lauren & Michele defend being "Jesse's Girls".There's a terrible white party, an even worse intervention style party at Jax's, and Doute is the voice of reason. These actually may be the best days of our lives.Follow Ellory Smith:IG: @ellory_smithTwitter: @ellorysmithYoutube: ⁠⁠youtube.com/@bravobreakdowns⁠Follow Bravo Breakdowns Here:IG: @bravo_breakdownsTikTok: @bravo_breakdownsYoutube: ⁠⁠youtube.com/@bravobreakdowns⁠

Lauren and Michele recap perhaps the funniest episode of the Baldwins yet! (Note: we had some technical difficulties during this episode, so apologies; but what was lost in sound quality was made up for in laughter!) This episode of the Baldwins was all about B-roll close-ups of dog pee and poop on a level reality TV has never seen before. We meet Mocachino and Cappuccino and the 6 terrifying Baldwin cats, plus dog trainer Gail who is a nice middle aged lesbian who is as overstimulated as we are.We also go back and forth in this episode about who is worse- are we Team Alec because Hilaria is playing games with a confused elderly man's mind? Or are we Team Hilaria because every single episode has been all about Alec because he is so self-obsessed he can't have a conversation about anyone else? Find out all this and more on this episode- plus our "The Valley Season 2" bingo cards (available on our IG!) and next week, our Valley S2 Premiere Recap!

Like Lauren and Michele, you too can delight in the madness of this loco familia!Tune in to hear what Hilaria thinks "codeswitching" is, Alec's hilariously offensive "OCD" storyline, and a couples therapy session that made us want to crawl out of our skin, and the hilariously bizarre activities and meals of the Baldwin clan.Oh, and let's not forget 10-year-old Carmen bringing over a very dynamic friend to discuss Europe and nails—because why not?Follow Bravo Breakdowns Here:IG: @bravo_breakdownsTikTok: @bravo_breakdownsYoutube: youtube.com/@bravobreakdowns
