Fighting in TikTok Censorship Code

"It's not the anemia and that's not what anemia is."
Katelon Cisco: Heir to the Restaurant Supply Fortune
The group realizes Katelon's last name is Cisco, leading to a confusing debate over whether she is the heir to the networking company, the singer, or the restaurant supply giant.

The 'Chase' Scandal and the Band-Aid Collection
A clip from episode 4 shows Sylvia's affair with Chase, but the drama is overshadowed by Sylvia's mundane 90-second clip detailing every type of Band-Aid she keeps in her trunk.
"I gave you the best 10 minutes of your life and now you're telling me you're in love with somebody else?"
"I have these for just sort of everyday scrapes and stuff."
"I was literally slapping Katelon in the face and there were no cameras because they were covering your Band-Aids."
Lisa Vanderpump Cancels the Show

"Build-A-Bear Dubai isn't real. We just made that up to make you guys angry."
"You have four views on your trailer."
