Rit finally deep dives into the world of Clubhouse and lives to tell the tale. He then rounds up the latest news (the Manzos are terrifying) and talks the latest episode of RHONY featuring the very divisive Heather T.

Housewives Tonight!

114. News Roundup, Clubhouse Misadventures, and RHONY!

Rit opens up about a family loss, the confusion in the aftermath, and the nasty COVID vaccine side effects that struck at the same time. But because you can't get through tough times without laughter, he also touches on Porsha's bombshell news, the RHOA reunion, and THE CIRCLE on Netflix. Once again, TV is that warm hug that makes everything feel ok. That warm, screaming, shady hug... 

Am I Doing This Right?

Rit breaks down this week's RHOD and that insane RHOA finale, where Drew goes above and beyond to try to secure next season's peach. But how far is too far? 

112. Reach for that Peach

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! 

111. Joey Sasso! (+ RHONJ)

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. 

110. NEWS ROUNDUP: Shahdenfreude (w/@facesbybravo)

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!  Check out Kate's TV recommendations:   https://katecasey.substack.com/

109. RHOA//RHONJ with Kate Casey!

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!  Follow:  Cara Maria: IG: @misscaramaria Paulie: IG: @paulcalafiore_

Rit takes a deep dive into Vanity Fair's lengthy piece on Armie Hammer, which sprawls across five generations of bizarre behavior, obscene wealth, and carefully guarded family secrets. 

107. Armie Hammer: A Century of Dysfunction

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. 

106. NEWS ROUNDUP: Tinsley & Scott Were Still Together...?

Welcome to REALITY TONIGHT! New name, same Rit. On this episode, Rit recaps RHOA and celebrates the end of Cynthia's drawn out wedding storyline, discusses LaToya's uncomfortable straddling of both sides of the group, and touches on his new obsession with Armie Hammer's family, which boasts of five generations of deranged behavior. 

105. A Wedding & A Hammer

Rit announces a change coming to HOUSEWIVES TONIGHT! (Don't worry, it's a good change.) He also gets into The Interview (yes, the Meghan Markle one), talks a little bit of news out of RHONJ and RHOBH, and reads excerpts from the recent LA Times investigation about what naughty Tom Giradi was up to with those stolen funds. (Hint: Jay Leno and some pricey chicken.) 

104. NEWS ROUNDUP: The High Life ( & A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!)

Rit is joined by Anne and Gina, hosts of the DAMES WHO DISH podcast, to talk Below Deck: Sailing Yacht, RHONJ, RHOD, and Summer House!

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!

102. Hannah Ferrier!

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.  INSTAGRAM/TWITTER: @wivestonight
