Gwyneth’s Ski Accident, Harry Styles & EmRata’s PDA, & Selena’s In Her Single Girl Era

Are you a fan of puzzles? So is Jordana. She kicks off this week’s episode sharing her love of literal puzzles (the 1,000 piece kind to be exact), which leads into Jordana, Aleen, and Sami talking about a truly puzzling topic—how tf could Tristan Thompson cheat on Khloe K yet again, and have a kid with another woman?! The conversation then shifts to another woman who seems to always choose the wrong men. Yes, we’re talking about Carrie Bradshaw. They discuss how the latest installment of And Just Like That, we’re sorry to tell you, only gets cringier. They reminisce on the OG SATC and pose the controversial q we all couldn’t help but wonder—should Carrie just have ended up single way back then and saved us the time? Continuing on the theme of b*tches with drama, they talk about the latest season of RHOC, including the ins and outs of what makes a good RH—Aleen compares it to a game of chess—and how RHOSLC is missing the ball. The show wraps up with a few pop culture predictions for the new year: Will Miley Cyrus and Pete Davidson date? Will Justin and Hailey Bieber have a kid? And who will be the next to break up?

Following last week’s v controversial debate, Sami, Aleen, and Jordana revisit the og Sex and the City TV show. Yes, it really is as good as you remember and no, it’s actually not cheesy. The trio then get into an ultimate recap of 2021 and discuss all the important things. You know, best Bravo moments of the year—Erika Jayne or Jen Shah?—whether or not Squid Game deserves the spot of top TV show, and was Olivia Rodrigo’s Drivers License song really that big of a deal—or are we just millennials? After delving deep into 2021’s pop culture past, they round off the show with a game that tests how well they kept tabs. Like, remember when wild hogs stole Shakira’s purse? Yeah, they forgot about that too. Finally, Sami shares her go-to research method for digging into celeb tea—think, JB and Selena’s relationship, Kim Cattrall and SJP’s feud—and Aleen asks the hard hitting q: Is it actually research or is Sami just reading an 8th grader’s blog?
