The Vanderpump Rules premiere is finally here! Joey and Lauren go, er, deep on the hilarious text heard round the world in an otherwise so-so episode (womp womp). Over in Beverly Hills, the Cousins also dissect the many miles of grace Garcelle has given Dorit over the years, Erika's intoxicated tour-de-force, and our patron saint of technicolored c…

The moment you've all been waiting for: Joey and Lauren finally give their two cents about the ruuuuuuumuuuhhhs and the nastiness of that Salt Lake City finale and reunion. They also do a whirlwind deep dive on Beverly Hills, Miami, RHONY Legacy Ultimate Girls Trip, whilst mostly ignoring the travesty that is this current season of Potomac. Follow …

Risottos, it's been a minute! Joey and Lauren have a much-needed catch-up sesh that runs the gamut from Dorit and PK's obvious Xmas-gifts-grifts, to Angie K's AI-generated face, to Adriana's white-flag fail. Follow them on insta @cousinsbybravoDoor Cousins by Bravo

Much like the "principals" of the #Scandoval, namely Raquel/Rachel and Tom the Scab #Scandoval, Joey and Lauren were positively delusional to think they'd be able to fit in a new episode before Joey flees the country for the UK release of It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections On Horror (see link below to buy a copy! Happy Pride!). So while the…

Episode 9: Lauren is still high from a three-course cannabis infusion dinner, Joey is still too afraid of Tabatha Coffey to scream out his car window that he loves her, and neither holds back in their deep-seated, but very recent, hatred of Tom Sandoval and the second runner up in the Little Miss Ranch pageant.

7. The Cousins are back! On this week's episode they: discuss (nee, celebrate) the end of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 3; ponder how New Jersey can move forward (spoiler alert: by getting rid of everyone who has or once had the last name Gorga); and both Lauren and Joey have timely Bravolebrity sightings (though only Lauren has both a…
