Brooke and Jeff are back, babies! Of course we have to talk a little Vegas action, but more importantly, we get a Jax and Laura Leigh hard launch and Scheana makes her stage debut at the Roxy. Sundi had to edit out the name from a very questionable story, Jeff gets nostalgic about purple-nurple shots and Brooke thinks LVP invented the phrase "spill the tea." We're halfway through the first season and it is GIVING!

It's a 2-for-1 this week. Nolin fills in again to recap the roadtrip from hell. Take a drink everytime Stassi reminds you it's her birthday and makes everyone miserable for it. Frank is in, Jax is out.... of his cable knit sweater, a ruckus is caused in a parking lot ads. Come back for a little fact-check foolishness when Sundi does a little research.
