Georgio Says

Producer James Lee reunites with me to unpack the mess in Orange County, from the New Orleans trip blow-ups to that controversial Persian New Year lie-detector scene. We dig into why the group seems set on isolating Katie, where self-advocacy could change her game, and how an off-camera “blogger” cameo scrambled alliances. Plus - Gretchen vs. Tamra hospital-gate, Slade's texts, Shannon re-follows Katie??, and how this all positions the cast heading into reunion (yes, we debate the seating chart). We also talk creator integrity in Bravo-land, why selective memory is suddenly epidemic, and what to expect as mid-season storylines pivot with Katie off most group scenes.Make sure to pre-order your "Housewives in the Stars" Tarot Deck to get FREE SHIPPING before September 15th!Visit:georgiotakounakis.com/shop Hosted on Acast.
