It’s been a week, to say the least — after three days of BravoCon in Las Vegas, I flew back to New York City on a connecting red eye that got in at 5 a.m. So, yeah, I’ve been feeling the effects of that brutal flight booking decision every day since. With all that being said, it’s probably no surprise that I haven’t really been keeping up with the content this week. I’ll be in major catch-up mode this weekend, getting back on track so that I can be back in the groove for next Friday’s recommendations roundup. You can also look forward to the list of everything I watched last month, coming on Tuesday!
Even though I was a total zombie this week, I did still find time to record a recap of my time at BravoCon with Rachel Lindsay, who you may recognize as a former Bachelorette. Rachel now hosts The Ringer’s excellent Bravo podcast “Morally Corrupt,” which you can subscribe to as part of the Ringer Reality TV Podcast feed, and she also moderated three different panels at BravoCon this year — “Real Housewives of Potomac,” an OGs panel and a one-on-one with Andy Cohen called Ask Andy. She’s one of the best in the game, and I feel so lucky to have had her on “Gabbing with Gib” this week. We compared notes, divulged behind-the-scenes observations, shared our big takeaways from the weekend and much more. You can watch it here, or you can listen to it below — the audio version features an additional solo overview from yours truly at the beginning. Let me know what you think — I promise I’ll stop talking about BravoCon soon enough.
Enjoy and have a fabulous weekend!
