Scarier Island: Part 1 (A WTF RHONY Finale Deep Dive)
Sarah watches the RHONY finale and immediately is filled with so much anger she becomes the secret ingredient in the next round of Ubah Hot. Bewildered, frustrated, and filled with yes, just a wee bit of rage, she takes to the cloffice for a 193-hour deep dive. Part 1: a profound misinterpretation of what qualities as entertainment, Bravo's wildly irresponsible lack of care for its audience, Sarah's feeling of why Brynn should not return to the franchise, the ways empathy should not become a permission slip to avoid accountability, and why the audience reaction should - but probably won't - be a network wake-up call. Part 2? A moment by moment episode deep dive, and Brynn's post-finale interview with Rolling Stone. The RHONY reboot was supposed to return the franchise to a non-toxic form, and spoiler alert, it ended in Chernobyl - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 634! Part 1!TW: this episode includes discussion about rape/sexual assault, trauma, mental health, and brief mentions of domestic violence and suicide.Resources: At the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, we understand that life's challenges can sometimes be difficult.
