Holes, Souls, and Drumrolls

Friday, June 13, 2025 • Duration 01:19:25

How do you navigate a friend breakup on national TV — especially when it’s one-sided?

In today’s episode, Renee and Ariana unpack the emotional fallout from Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard and The Real Housewives of New York City — specifically the drama between New York castmates Brynn and Erin, and the shifting dynamics on Martha’s Vineyard.

From navigating loyalty shifts to decoding why certain cast members get excluded from big opportunities (like The Next Gen event in NYC), we’re diving deep into the unspoken politics of friend groups — on and off camera.

Plus, we talk about:

Why RHONY fans are still divided on Erin vs. Brynn
The shady aftermath of The Next Generation of NYC cast feature
Why Renee thinks Lexi got iced out of the Martha’s Vineyard cast
The impact of social media on reality TV loyalty and alliances

If you’ve ever been ghosted by a friend or felt left out of your own group, this episode hits close to home.
