  • Summary

  • Welcome to Reality Bites, the podcast where we deep dive into this week's buzziest Reality TV, Pop Culture and Bravo happenings, through a behind-the-scenes lens into how the shows are made in a way you won't find anywhere else. Co-hosts and best friends since college, Reality Producer Lauren and 9-to-5er Betsy have been bantering about all things Bravo for the better part of a decade. Join us as we peel back the curtain, taking you on a wild ride!


    Reality Bites takes you through your favorite shows - via episode recaps, and behind the scenes “Producer’s Corner” editions that deep dive into topics in the Reality TV zeitgeist - with reactions, commentary, and a window into how the cast, story and we as viewers may have gotten there.

  • Come One, Come All - Southern Charm Recap w/ Lauren, Betsy & Executive Producer
    Oct 14 2023

    Guys, to say that this pheasant dinner had "party fowls" aplenty would be an understatement, but between that epically cringeworthy gathering, the nude photo that rocked the foundation of Chateau Altchul, not to mention that kiss admission that came as a shock to absolutely no one; we had quite a showing for Southern Charm this week! Executive Producer jumped on the mic with Betsy and me to break it alllll down - it's another long one, hope y'all enjoy!

  • Saianide - RHONY Recap
    Oct 10 2023

    We’re almostttt to the finish line on this new RHONY reboot, and the closer we inch towards next week’s finale, the more it becomes abundantly clear that no matter what she says or does, Jessel is never going to win…. That, and that Sai just simply doesn’t like Jessel - no more, no less. Jessel tries to share something personal trying to connect? Sai says, “Nope - You’ve insulted me!” Pavit’s taking impromptu trips around the world to rack up points? Sai says, “You’re a liar and I’m going to heavily insinuate that you’re going for more than just a Banh Mi!”  Ummm who died and made Sai the judge, jury and executioner of the group?!? And, in case the ladies (and we) were all confused, RHONY is not playing a never ending game of ‘Sai Says’ as much as it may seem to the contrary)!

    We’re talking this week’s RHONY, y’all…. And if you haven’t guessed, we’ve got some feelings about it!! Enjoy!

    Also, side note - travelling for points IS a thing and I’d take three days to get pampered on international first class flights without so much as a first though, let alone a second! Caviar, spa services, top shelf wine, gourmet meals, unlimited movies, top tier service and no cell phone to ring??? Sign me up!!

Perspicacious, passionate, playful perfection!

Lauren, Betsy, and EPs are the best friends you didn't know you were missing. They have great chemistry and love all the same shows you do. Lauren and EPs come in hot with opinions and a unique perspective coming from a reality producer background. Betsy, well, she is just here for it baby (crayon notes and all)! I love that they don't always see eye-to-eye but that doesn't stop them from having a great time together. They can joke, throw shade, and keep it light, but then can also turn around and do deep psychological assessments of the cast. I appreciate the depth and the company they give me while I number crunch all day. HOW this is their first audible review is beyond me! XO, a millennial with boomer technology skills
