Lauren and Michele are back to do a quick check-in on all the Mormons and smokers in Hollywood!

Then they discuss the new episodes of RHOC Season 18, Episodes 10 & 11 ("Catwalks & Catfights"/"Singled Out").

(Time stamp: 2:00)

Which the podmates find to be sadly mostly filler/family stuff- but delight in recounting Heather Dubrow's fashion show and the ugly fallout, including Emily breaking the fourth wall to call Alexis a "friend" of.

Then it's time for today's lesson- Season 7 of RHOC, episodes 12-23.

(Time stamp: 17:55)

We pick up after Gretchen's Pussycat Dolls "performance" and focus on the Chief Beefs (new segment!) between Tamra and Vicki (over Tamra's friendship with Vicki), Alexis vs. everyone (because being fake is hurting her in "the community") and Vicki's brain vs. Vicki's vagina (because Brooks fills her love tank but is using her for cars and money and her family and friends hate him).

Plus the Costa Rica trip where Vicki goes full Carmela Soprano and the epic fight between the Dubrows and Sarah "the Cake Bow-eater" Winchester (yes, THAT Winchester!)
