Deepti especially is having very conflicting feelings about Craigy and how annoying he is being so "successful" and constantly talking about it vs how insanely petty and jealous Austen and Shep are being about it.

WTF!!!! Everyone coming to destroy Lindsay was really not warranted. What on EARTH was Danielle thinking with her hair/outfit?? Amanda is never going to leave Kyle is she? Paige was amazing with her support of Ciara but terrible with her snickers at Lindsay. Carl is a baby man. West went from hero to zero in no time OUCH. 2024-06-181h 37Pop Culture PrisonerTaylor Swift's TTPD, Summer House S8 E9-E10, VPR S11 E10-E13, The Valley S1 E1-E6 (time stamps in show notes)Taylor Swift TTPD: Beginning to 19 min & again at ~1 hr 4 min 30 sec to ~1hr 9 min 30 sec Summer House ~19 min to ~48 min 40 sec VPR ~48 min 40 sec to ~1 hr 4 min 30 sec & again at 1 hr 9 min 30 sec to ~1 hr 11 min 30 secThe Valley ~1 hr 11 min 30 sec to the end (some VPR inside The Valley discussion too)Deepti, Haley and Larkyn have much catching up to do in this episode.

Vanderpump Rules is snoozy this season and Sandoval is incorrigible. Deepti is underwhelmed by how Ariana is carrying the show. LVP might hate women?

Jenna and Jessel are top faves - for VERY different reasons. They talk about Erin A LOT. Which leads Deepti to believe, maybe she DOES like her more than she thinks she does? I mean, she got a LOT of airtime in this PCP episode! Sai continues to bore. The editors need to give Ubah more substantive scenes b/c we don't even KNOW her really do we??

Rachel was the most unhinged she has EVER been, popping up constantly to poke and prod at Ariana and Katie, it was absolutely bonkers. Then Sandoval comes in and pokes more on Rachel's behalf, even telling Katie's MOM to STFU (!!!!!!!!!!!). Of course Schwartz remains a putz the whole episode. The whole thing was b-a-n-a-n-a-s.

They discuss the delusional interview Sandoval gave to Howie Mandel filled with recycled garbage he said *verbatim* after breaking up with Kristen Doute. They also get deep into Katie's psyche and try to figure out if she's always been a dark mean girl...or is that ONLY because Schwartz trashed her for years...OR has she grown a lot in the past year FROM being that dark mean girl??

Deepti thought this latest episode though dragged a bit, and yet they all still talked almost an hour about the whole damn thing. The internet seems to be coming closer and closer to more definitive clues on the timeline of the affair. Lala is super annoying and a TOTAL hypocrite. While Katie has her detractors...Haley DEFINITELY seems to always be #TeamKatie.

Haley goes back and forth on how diabolical she thinks Raquel/Rachel really is. PCP's scorn for Schwartz may be AS STRONG as the scorn for Sandoval. Lala had a TERRIBLE episode and Deepti thinks it greatly thwarted her ability to keep despising Rachel b/c Lala was just SUCH a hypocrite. Katie's divorce party weekend was sad sad sad!
