This episode is sponsored by Teresa's hair extensions, strobe light strips, and the hardest working fog machine ever made.
116. Bad Manors (w/ Kristen Morelli!)
Rit is joined by co-host supreme Kristen Morelli and boyyy is there much to discuss. Tamra's back! Jeff Lewis's fans are odd! Dorinda's XM show sucks! Southern Charm, Dubai, Beverly Hills, and finally Ultimate Girls Trip!
115. The Real Housewives Experience

111. Joey Sasso! (+ RHONJ)
Rit is joined by actor, writer, producer -- and oh yeah, winner of Netflix's THE CIRCLE -- Joey Sasso! Joey has built a career defying expectations and pushing himself to the limit to accomplish his goals. His labor of love, feature film YOUNG LION OF THE WEST, is nearing completion and will no doubt release before long. Joey gives 100% to everything, even going so far as to watch RHONJ for this episode, and he reveals which Jersey housewife has captured his heart. This is a great chat about following your dreams and getting far in life by just being yourself!
110. NEWS ROUNDUP: Shahdenfreude (w/@facesbybravo)
That's right, Rit is just another person posting an episode with a Jen Shah pun. Covering this explosive Jen Shah story required the expertise of Steve (aka @facesbybravo) who has been collecting bits and pieces of facts and presenting them to us lazy Bravo fans. Exhausted after a 24 hour stint on the frontlines, Steve breaks everything down for us, shares info from his conversation with an attorney, and also explains the drama surrounding his tank top. Indeed, no stone is left unturned in this very special episode.
109. RHOA//RHONJ with Kate Casey!
Rit is joined by the brilliant host of REALITY LIFE Kate Casey, who elevates the conversation around our favorite shows to academic heights. Kate also touches down on the aftermath of that now famous interview with Danni Baird from Southern Charm, which revealed A-Rod to be "the ex-MLB player." They also touch down on a couple of bizarre news items, and then recap RHOA and RHONJ. It's a packed show, and you will feel smarter just by listening to Kate!

108. Cara Maria & Paulie!
Rit is joined by Cara Maria and Paulie from MTV's The Challenge! They talk about the circumstances surrounding their (temporary?) exit from the show, their first romantic night together during production, and the effects of horseback riding on the human anatomy. See? There's something for everyone!

106. NEWS ROUNDUP: Tinsley & Scott Were Still Together...?
Rit is surprised to learn that Tinsley and Scott broke their engagement, mostly because he didn't realize they were still together. He also touches on eight of the unconfirmed castmembers of whatever this all-stars Housewives show is, as well as the unfortunate news item about Brandi. No, not that one... the other one... no, the OTHER one. Plus, Craig's law firm.
105. A Wedding & A Hammer
Welcome to REALITY TONIGHT! New name, same Rit.

Rit welcomes Queen of the Seven Seas HANNAH FERRIER (Below Deck: Med, the DEAR DIARY.... podcast) to Housewives Tonight, and the topics range from motherhood and Hannah's final season, to her appreciation of BLING EMPIRE, RHOP, RHOA, and all things Bravo. (During which Hannah weighs in on whether or not Michael Darby playing grab ass "is an Australian thing.") The questions get tossed aside before long, and the conversation zigs and zags in the best of ways. This was a damn good time!

101. RHONJ/RHOD/RHOSLC: The Lies, the Lies!
Rit feels hoodwinked by the false lead on a Melissa cheating Joe storyline, so he has some RHONJ thoughts to air! (Also, is Evan really angry, or does Jackie want to be the first person to ever get Teresa to apologize?) Then Rit touches down on the RHOSLC reunion, the uncomfortable buzz surrounding Jen Shah, and the biggest takeaway from RHOD after Brandi recycles the past and puts Tiffany in a terrible position.

98. The Legend of BOLO (w/ Kristen Morelli!)
Rit is joined by favorite guest co-host Kristen, and after they play a game to determine their dungeon names, it's off to the races to recap a racy RHOA, and a mudslinging RHONJ. Oh yeah, and they also chat Winter House and Brandi's departure because the Bravo Gods don't understand the concept of a weekend.
