We open up with some Tom Sandoval and Billie Lee Tea then move onto our final thoughts on season 11 of VPR before diving into a very dark Part Three of the Reunion. We share some thoughts about what we personally think authenticity is versus selling your soul to be on TV. We move onto talking about some of the standout scenes  from The Valley episodes 9 and 10. Spoiler: Jax continues to be the worst, Jesse didn't kill his ego with drugs, and we are here for the Janet and Zach beef.  Overall, The Valley is winning us over and we are looking forward to breaking down the last two episodes in the coming weeks.

We sit down and finally bring you a review of the five interesting pop-tarts that we know you all have been waiting for! Then we dive into some VPR updates including our night out seeing DJ James Kennedy, Something About Her finally opening, and news on Rachel’s lawsuit against Tom and Ariana. Then we take a deep breath and dive into the first two segments of the VPR reunion. We start with Rachel’s name in everyone’s mouth, cringe as Lala goes after Katie for her lack of authenticity, not surprisingly end with Joe in tears, and go over all of the cream-filling bits in between!

We are back to celebrate our 51st episode and break down episode 14 and then THE FINALE of season 11 of Vanderpump Rules. And holy shit, is there a lot to talk about. We follow the cast (and Dan!) to San Francisco where we find more of the same themes we have watched throughout this strange season. We change locations, but the majority of the group’s attitude has not changed when it comes to their expectations of Ariana and her attitude towards Sandoval. Kyle Chan’s whiskey party starts as “Good as Gold”, but crumbles after Sandoval attempts to “apologize” to Ariana. She truly is the final boss in his redemption tour, and thank god she’s indestructible.

We are still podcasting, just on a different timeline, thank you for hanging with us! We are excited to see James really bringing not only number one Guy energy, but a lot of maturity everyone else is missing, Tom manages to surprise us still by being the worst and The Valley is becoming a little too hard to watch; we talk about their attitudes towards sex and what it means to be a empath (spoiler: Kristin is not one).

We missed you! And we are back to dive into some rough waters of the last couple episodes of VPR and The Valley. We revisit episode 10 where Ariana shows her true feelings at a water tasting and then at Scheana’s beach outing. Then we get into Schwartz and Katie both being into Tori, meanwhile Joe is wondering WTF is up with Schwartz’s green bracelet decision. Meanwhile on The Valley, everyone is coming at Kristen for something everyone seemed to be involved in. We are still getting the hang of this crew, but thus far love Luke!

Well, first off we recap last weeks episode that was lost, and something finally happened on Vanderpump Rules! We breakdown this packed episode that had everything from long-time secrets, to awkward legal conversations, to confusing friendship efforts, to what could be viewed as a “revenge bang”. We then share with you our first impressions of the first couple episodes of “The Valley”. Finally, it’s Joey’s finale, and it did not disappoint. Daisy navigates the finale week with so much strength and love. We have loved this season, and are sad to see it end!

Our eyes might be stuck in a permanent eye roll after watching another week of Scheana’s efforts to make Ariana and Tom’s breakup about her. She’s really milking this grieving process. Lisa and production continue to champion Tom’s redemption arc, so we pour ourselves another glass to help us get through the bullshit. Meanwhile Joey is with the final three women in Mexico for “fantasy suites”. After he tells two of the women that he’s falling in love with them, we really question how this will all play out. Hearts will be broken.

This week on Drama Bonded, we review some Easter candy and discuss aging and social media. Then Lake Tahoe gets more complicated with weird meditation moments and hard conversations. All the while Katie and Ariana are being their best selves, making money moves in Weho. We question why production is trying so hard to redeem Sandoval and make Ariana the villain in their story. Meanwhile in Bachelor world, we accompany Joey to meet the top four women’s families. Protective parents ask all the hard questions, but Joey navigates all of it with his emotional intelligence and suave curls.

We were hoping for fun in the sun in Lake Tahoe, but storm Sandoval has dampened another episode of Vanderpump Rules. We also discuss some of Rachel’s insights concerning the things being said about her this season. Then we are off to Jasper, Canada where we find 6 women hoping for a hometown rose. Some women are ready and eager, while others express some unexpected hesitation. Joey struggles to juggle hearts and doubts, but ends with a surprising final four. We have no idea where the season goes from here!

We start out addressing the infamous quote from Tom Sandoval’s profile piece in The NY Times. How does this all keep getting worse? That leads us into another heavy episode of Vanderpump Rules, where we talk through some hard-to-discuss mental health topics and then embrace the brief levity of James’s pricey pool party. The Bachelor also felt heavier this week! We see Joey struggling to navigate all of his own insecurities while simultaneously trying to grow connections with the remaining women. Emotions are running high in Canada, eh?

Holy moly there was a lot to talk about this week. Scheana is reinventing her music career while Schwartz tries to get “the band” back together. With Lisa giving Tom hard advice and everyone gathering at SUR for “See You Next Tuesday”, it’s easy to forget what season we’re watching. Meanwhile in Bachelor land, we had 2 episodes to cover! Joey and the women are tripping into love all over Malta and Spain. We endured the dreaded two-on-one, wet sausages, abstract paintings, questionable flamenco fashion, and are looking forward to more travel and stronger connections.

In our free-flow episode, we get into episode 2 of Vanderpump Rules and question things like: How could James be a voice or reason? Why is Lala not supporting Ariana’s boundaries? How does Ann do this crappy job? And other important topics. Meanwhile in Bachelor world, Sydney has transitioned into full-blast-mean-girl bully mode and is targeting Maria. We are already dreading the inevitable 2:1, and just want more costumes and tennis dates.
