And as we're seeing people break out of reality TV franchises and have really successful careers in other genres, I'm thinking, for example, of Whitney from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, who is absolutely killing it on Broadway at the moment.

I feel like the scope for what you can do after reality TV is really changing.

I think it's broadening.

I think people are getting so many new opportunities now.

And honestly, reality TV is getting a lot more respect and I'm thrilled for them.

Really thrilled for them.

I think that this is going to be really good.

They are two naturally funny people.

I don't always agree with them.

I mean, sometimes I think they say dumb shit.

Sometimes I think I say dumb shit.

um but I think that it's going to be really fun and I'm just really delighted for them not only you know delighted for them as a duo but also just delighted for them as you know in terms of turning something that you know people slag them off for being too lazy people slag them off for staying in bed people slag them off um you know Kyle Cook specifically slag them off for a million different things and they are now really outdoing him and the success takes and I just really like the idea of that pissing him off

But I also just really like what it says about reality TV and what it can be and what it can launch in terms of a career.

So that's very exciting.

I think it's also worth noting that The Real Housewives of New Jersey is coming back.

So it's been a while.

We haven't had an episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey since August 2024, but it is one of the OG franchises ever.

I think it's one of those ones like you might be listening as someone who came to the Bravo universe over the last few years.

I think it's one that people often skip, but it also includes some of the most iconic moments, prostitution, whore, flipping tables.

Like there's so much good stuff that comes out of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
