Rather Be Rotting is the ultimate escape for pop culture obsessives and reality TV junkies. Hosted by two sisters who’d always rather be rotting on the couch, this show is a love letter to Bravo marathons, niche celebrity drama, and the kind of useless-but-essential pop culture knowledge that clogs their brains (and now, your ears). Whether they’re deep-diving into reality TV chaos or spiraling over a red carpet moment, these two are here to talk about everything that doesn't matter—but means everything to them.

The gals are wasting no time this week getting right into the leaked audio from the Summer House reunion! There's also much to discuss with The Real Housewives of Rhode Island (do pizza chips actually sound good?) Ladies of London, and part 1 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion. Lil did some research into K. Michelle after this episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and The Valley has never been more relatable. They wrap it all up discussing the epic finale of 90 Day Fiance Before the 90 Days! All this plus a...

Madelyn is in New Jersey, and the gals forgot to discuss Ladies of London! They have a good excuse - the Summer House scandal is taking up too much room in their brains. Justice for Ciara! Lil finds solace in the return of crazy Kristen on the Valley now that they're both moms. They also break down the newest franchise, Real Housewives of Rhode Island (lil tells us who is who) and briefly touch on Beverly Hills before the real reason for the season: 90 Day Fiance Before the 90 Days!
