Summary
This week, Scheana welcomes Kiki Monique and Ryan Bailey back to the studio. From Lunar New Year superstitions (no sweeping, no black outfits, and Kristen Doute on strict “don’t break anything” watch) to baby prep and psychic readings from the other side, nothing is off limits. Ryan reveals his baby girl’s name and jokes that karma may have caught up with him after once spilling Summer Moon’s name before Scheana was ready. They also compare birth plans versus delivery-room reality (because sometimes sh*t goes out the window… or on the table). Then it’s a deep dive into Netflix’s Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model . Kiki admits she used to be one of Tyra’s biggest defenders — until this documentary reframed everything. The trio unpacks reality TV’s pressure machine, accountability, and body commentary culture, as Scheana reflects on her own experiences on Reality TV, and explains why stepping away from it can be the only way to grow. Plus, they discuss Dorinda stepping up after Jill’s E! exit, and Scheana reveals which friendships she shed in the Year of the Snake — and why, in the Year of the Fire Horse, she’s not going back.
