Bravoverse Daily on The Good Edit Unfiltered, where behavioral analyst Elle Schwartz asks one question of this week in Bravo: who is protecting whom? Jeff Lewis turned a budget joke into class shots at RHOC's Gina Kirschenheiter, and Crystal Kung Minkoff told Page Six she disagrees with him while still praising his generosity. Melissa Gorga went on WWHL as the connector, sharing what she told Lisa Barlow about Teresa Giudice before RHUGT and naming the RHONJ costar she missed least. Page Six sources say Next Gen NYC producers will let Gia Giudice and Ariana Biermann film Season 3 without discussing their families, and Elle looks at what a show chooses to leave out. Then Amanda Batula's reasons for leaving In the City, Kyle Cooke's deleted comment about West Wilson and the statement that followed, and what Kyle told Kate Chastain at Bravo Fan Fest about seeing his ex with his friend. Claims are attributed to the people and outlets that made them. Commentary is the host's analysis. Fan posts are unverified viewer opinion. If we get something wrong, we correct it on air. #BravoverseDaily #RHONJ #NextGenNYC #SummerHouse #InTheCity
