Erika Jayne chose Garcelle as the one she did not want back on Beverly Hills.

1. The Bravo Papers: Weekly News & Commentary with Bravo & Botox uses part two of its BravoCon 2025 special to cover Beverly Hills, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, and Orange County news. 2. Bravo & Botox leads the episode as host and commentator, and the opener says a part three is coming because there is "way more drama" than fits here. 3. The core job of the episode is to sort through BravoCon panel moments, red-carpet quotes, and TMZ updates from Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025. 4. Beverly Hills dominates the first stretch, with the host calling the season "boring" and saying the trailer "looks so boring." 5. Erika Jayne gets booed after choosing Garcelle as the person she does not want back on the show during a cast game. 6. Kyle Richards says she is closest to Erika and Sutton, while her update on Dorit Kemsley is that they "made progress" and then "went backwards again." 7. Dorit says she is open to dating, says PK is "a disaster," and says the move toward divorce came after pictures of him with another woman. 8. Sutton Stracke says her assistant Avi is gone because she no longer needs a personal assistant now that her kids are grown and out of the house. 9. Dorit also says she wants Lisa Rinna back full time and does not want Camille Grammer back, which the host contrasts with Camille’s quicker, sharper jokes on other panels. 10. The episode shifts to Orange County and Beverly Hills crossover commentary when Erika gets asked about her fling with "Shrek" and reacts to the nickname. 11. The host says Erika’s irritation makes sense because media coverage uses "Shrek" in articles from People, Page Six, Bravo, E! News, and Us Weekly. 12. Sutton says she thought she and Garcelle were fine after a call, but Garcelle never spoke to her again. 13. Lisa Vanderpump says Garcelle was successful before Beverly Hills and will be successful after it, which the host agrees with. 14. The host argues that Garcelle and Denise Richards bother some women because they have celebrity status that does not depend on reality TV. 15. The Beverly Hills section ends with TMZ burglary reports about Kathy Hilton and Sutton being targeted while they were at BravoCon. 16. Sutton’s later statement says burglars entered through a kitchen window, stole her luxury handbags and fine jewelry, and forced her to hire a 24-hour armed security team and replace her surveillance system. 17. Atlanta brings a live-panel fight when Drew Sedora clashes with Kelly and Shamea over singing, charting, and who is using whom for a storyline. 18. Portia Williams later says the new Atlanta season has "a lot of passive aggressive stuff," while Andy Cohen appears to confirm K. Michelle’s casting. 19. The episode keeps a recap-and-opinion rhythm, with the host interrupting the news to compare cast behavior across Beverly Hills, Potomac, and Salt Lake City. 20. Viewers who follow BravoCon panels, cast feuds, and TMZ follow-ups will get the most out of this episode.

As heard by us

A BravoCon roundup that cares less about headlines than what they mean for the franchises.

This BravoCon roundup moves from Beverly Hills to Salt Lake City without losing its thread, and the best stretch is the one that treats the franchise chatter like more than trivia. The Beverly Hills material lands with a blunt note of boredom that feels earned, not pushed.
