From the Bleachers is the only podcast that recognizes that the Real Housewives franchise is a sport in which each woman cast for the show becomes a high-level player, competing to earn additional seasons of play and social media fame. Join Mandy & Sandra (The Real Housewives of Bend, Oregon), in a fun and quirky recap-style podcast, as we analyze all of the best plays made by our favorite women in reality TV, the Real Housewives. We kick off the podcast with analyzing play in the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (RHOSLC), but can’t wait to dig into all of Bravo’s Real Housewives locations and seasons, including The Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC), The Real Housewives of New York City (RHONY) reboot and legacy, The Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA), The Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ), The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH), The Real Housewives of Miami (RHOM), The Real Housewives of Potomac (RHOP), The Real Housewives of Dubai (RHODubai). Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t comment on the historical significance of those locations that were canceled: The Real Housewives of Dallas (RHOD) and The Real Housewives of Washington D.C. (RHODC). Inspired by Game of Roses, aka GOR, we analyze all the play that happens during each episode. We love cast trips, taglines, glam squads, reunions and reunion seating, behind the scenes, breaking the fourth wall, producer manipulation, apologies, money, the edit, villains, rumors, drama and more! During our reality TV recaps, we will analyze the play of all the Bravolebrities in Real Housewives, including Lisa Barlow, Mary Cosby, Heather Gay, Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, Jen Shah, Monica Garcia, Angie Katsanevas, Jo De La Rosa, Vicki Gunvalson, Jeana Keough, Lauri Peterson, Tammy Knickerbocker, Tamra Judge, Gretchen Rossi, Alexis Bellino, Peggy Tanous, Heather Dubrow, Lydia McLaughlin, Shannon Storms Beador, Meghan King Edmonds, Kelly Dodd, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, Jen Armstrong, Noella Bergener, Jennifer Pedranti, Bethenny Frankel, Luann de Lesseps, Alex McCord, Ramona Singer, Jill Zarin, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Sonja Morgan, Cindy Barshop, Aviva Drescher, Carole Radziwill, Heather Thomson, Dorinda Medley, Jules Wainstein, Tinsley Mortimer, Leah McSweeney, Eboni K.
