To kick off a fresh week, Dylan is joined by longtime friend and Bravo companion Lea Palmieri, who has lots of takes on Jersey, OC, and everything in between. They briefly discuss what’s to come for Southern Charm, before unpacking a major VPR update: Tom’s much-maligned lawsuit against Ariana was an oopsy-daisy! From there, they discuss the trajectory of RHONJ this season, and Teresa’s questionable choice to frame her whole season around teasing her Marge receipts. Lea also has a bold idea for how to retool the franchise, which echoes a past RHOC shakeup. Speaking of RHOC, Dylan and Lea also have lots to say about Tamra, Alexis, and new Housewife Katie, who is off to a strong start. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
