In this engaging conversation, the hosts delve into the evolving dynamics of the Summer House cast, discussing the potential exits of key members like Kyle, Amanda, and Carl and the new IN THE CITY spinoff, which is a spinoff of THE VALLEY and will there be a show called "THE BANKS" for the Southern Charm and Southern Hospitality kids who all get married?? LOL . They explore the complexities of Amanda and Kyle's separation in the Summer House, the impact of new cast members, and the role of Salley in Southern Charm. Do we believe she hooked up with Kyle Cooke in NYC last week as reported by @bravoandcocktails...ALLEGEDLY!

The discussion also touches on the need for redemption arcs among male cast members and the future of reality TV spinoffs, particularly in the context of the Bachelor franchise. Will Taylor Frankie Paul connect more with Tayshia or Kaitlyn's advice in the new special coming out. ALL ROAD LEAD BACK TO BRAVO...OR BACHELOR as I like to say.
