06-03 REALITY DIGEST | In the City, Farmer Wants a Wife, The Valley, RHORI, Summer House, Below Deck Down Under

We’re baaaaaaack and boy did we miss chit chatting about our fav shows??!!! We have a new show on the docket which is no doubt going to be FIRE because of everything going down between the Summer House cast, and In The City is off to a great start. Mother Hubbard continues to be everything to us. On the contrary, the entire cast of The Valley seems to be fighting for their lives to create storylines for themselves and we’re seeing a re-cast in their future. BDDU is coming to a close with Ben having his biggest tantrum yet. There’s something very unsettling about watching the oldest person on the cast act this way. But maybe he and Jenna really are a perfect match. Unlike West and Amanda which is evident by the way he suddenly when mute and fed her to the wolves. We’re just thankful for Bailey for saying out loud what everyone was thinking. Similarly to Rosie absolutely reading Kelsey on RHORI - I mean ii don’t think she can ever come back from that one. Sadly, our favorite farmer’s journeys are coming to a close and one farmer in particular has been on a rapid downward trajectory since the beginning. Jury is still out on whether we’re signing Julia up for this show, as we certainly can’t have her living in the middle of nowhere.
