Show Notes

Leo and Nesu give a brief recap of what’s been going on with them of late, and why you haven’t heard from them, as well as a timely conversation about the heatwave and the UK’s (as always) unpreparedness for this. Since the last time they got behind the mic, both parts of the Real Housewives of Lagos reunion (15:52) aired, and the two find themselves yet again appreciating Andy Cohen’s ability to hold housewives to task at reunions even though he does come with him own biases. The topic of how any of these women film a potential second season has the dynamic duo in agreement for a change, and they give a roundup of their thoughts on each woman’s performance this season. Leo opens the discussion about the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (01:13:26) with a monologue about what’s annoyed them these last few episodes (and there’s a lot) and the hosts find themselves feeling as though Lisa’s grief and the robbery at Dorit’s are being drawn out for longer than they should, while remaining unimpressed by Diana, and feeling all the good things regarding Sheree. There’s lots to unpack regarding Caroline Stanbury when the conversation pivots to the Real Housewives of Dubai (01:42:52), from her upcoming nuptials to her bringing Sergio around all the time; the hosts are sick sick sick of seeing him. Sara’s Jesus complex is discussed, which leads into a difference of opinion with regards to Caroline B’s blowup on her. To close out this episode, the two are in agreement that Fatum and Sanya on the Real Housewives of Atlanta (02:11:02) are starting to seem a bit fixated with Drew, as well as Marlo’s return to her old ways with Kenya showing that the enemy of your enemy truly isn’t your friend.
