#2979 RHOM S7E12 Part One: The Strain in Spain Stays Mainly in the Plane
25 Aug 2025
Chapter 1: What are the main conflicts in this episode of The Real Housewives of Miami?
Who cares what happens when there's so much that happens?
Hello and welcome to Watch What Crap Is, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. I'm Ben Mandelker and joining me today, Mr. Ronnie Karam. How are you, Ronnie? What's going on? What's going on with you today, baby? Well, I'm thrilled because we're talking Real Housewives of Miami. And this episode was so good and so hilarious.
It was actually so good that I took myself over to social media and I proclaimed, first of all, I don't know. I don't know if there's gonna be a show that's gonna be able to top Miami this year.
Chapter 2: How does Stephanie use her private plane in the drama?
Salt Lake City is gonna be the strongest contender. We're gonna see. Salt Lake obviously comes back in September. And Salt Lake City has been on a tear for several seasons, and they are pretty much the elite cast to beat on Bravo. But after watching last night's Miami episode, I'm like, I don't like this is going to be a hard one to top. Miami is like batting 1000.
They are having an excellent season. And I don't know. And so then I went and I ranked all my favorite shows of the year so far. So I really went into a tizzy.
Chapter 3: What issues arise from Lisa's tardiness during the dinner?
Wow.
You had quite a day.
I literally ranked every single Bravo show of 2025 so far. And I said, these are my, this is my favorite from top to bottom. And actually what I discovered was that like the majority of the shows I really loved, like next gen New York city wound up sort of like mid pack, mid to low pack on the list. And people were like, you put it too low. And I'm like, actually I loved next gen New York city.
I just loved everything this year on Bravo for the most part. I mean, I love Southern charm.
Chapter 4: How does Kiki's use of the 'o' word impact the group dynamics?
A lot of people didn't love Southern charm. I love Southern charm. I love Beverly Hills. I loved it all. I love this. I love the pocket. I love the seam. I love it.
I love that you had that moment. Where you just gave love to everything.
Chapter 5: What are the reactions to Lisa's need for a notary during dinner?
That's so good. You don't even need drugs to do that kind of shit, you know? That's been on a sober night. You know I'm drunk or something when I'm like, you know what? Here's everything that I love. I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate everything that I love. You can do that shit sober, you know? I love it.
Yeah, I don't know, but that's how good Miami was. Miami was so good, it uncorked all my love for all the Bravo shows, and I think I put Miami as number one.
Chapter 6: How do the housewives' past experiences influence their current behavior?
Should I just pull it up at this point? Should I just pick some of them? I won't go through the whole list. But I think I put Miami as... Miami is definitely number one. I put as my number two... I said the Valley is number two. I think the Valley was really like... Yeah, I think the Valley was really like appointment television. I put in Orange County as number three so far.
This is, by the way, so far it could all change by the end of the year. I think Orange County is having a great season so far.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of Jodi texting Larsa?
I'm really enjoying it. This is a little controversial. I put Beverly Hills as number four. Maybe I put that slightly too high. But I was like at first it was lower. But then I was thinking back and I was like, I had so much fun. With Sutton and her mom and Dorit losing her mind and Dorit yelling at Kyle. There was like a lot of joy that I had watching that season.
Southern Hospitality, I put a number five. I think we've forgotten about it, but it had such a good season.
Chapter 8: How do the housewives navigate friendship amidst conflicts?
And then Love Hotel. I almost wanted to put Love Hotel higher because I just love to love Hotel. And then it goes on from there. I won't go. I won't go through all of it. And you guys can just make a guess what my last one is on the list. But yeah, I just love the McBee dynasty.
God, somebody over there doesn't enjoy a dribble door. One of the best shows of all time. You know, it's so funny how your hatred of that show makes me like it so much more. I don't know what it is about it, but I think it's so fun. And I feel like the listeners really like you hating something, too, because it's just not your general vibe.
So I think the biggest compliment we get on that show is that you hate it so much. It's a lot of comments like, wow, Ben hates this. I love it.
normally am a bravo apologist like if i like something i will just like like it and be like no it's great even when it starts to decline yeah um so it is nice to just outright hate something uh but i love that you love it like i genuinely love that you love it and then i you know it's fun But anywho, we're not here to talk about that. We're here to talk about Miami.
As a reminder, we have tonight, there's going to be crappy hour where we are going to be talking about the latest headlines and Goss on Bravo. We always have fun with that. That's going to be at 530 on the West Coast and 830 on the East Coast. And then you can just. Figure out your time zones if you're not in those. And then also we're on Patreon. We have bonus episodes.
Last week we had a really, really fun bonus episode where we told tales of our youth and interacting with certain celebrities like Robert Goulet and Sally Kellerman and Diane Cannon. And maybe there's another celebrity that was in there. Emmylou Harris, maybe. So come join us on Patreon for all that good stuff. Plus Crap is on Demand where you can watch the video. But that's enough.
We've talked enough.
You can see us both in collared shirts today. Yeah, we're wearing. Ben looks very cute in a little preppy shirt. I'm in like an Easter shirt. I don't know. I'm wearing Easter colors lately. I'm really into it.
This is a Gap polo shirt. And I have to say, I've been enjoying this shirt so much that after this, we're done recording. I'm going to go to the Gap and see if I can get more polo shirts. I'm hoping that they're still there and that they have not started to transition into their fall wear.
