Watch What Crappens is a podcast dedicated to all things Bravo, hosted by Ronnie Karam and Ben Mandelker. [1] The two met as coworkers, [2] and began the podcast after discovering their shared interest of the Bravo TV Network. [3] The podcast primarily consists of the hosts narrating their annotated recaps of recently aired episodes of select Bravo shows [4] (along with shows from other networks being recapped occasionally due to the host's interest). [5] Both Ben & Ronnie have worked various jobs in the entertainment industry; Ben being the creator and editor of B-SideBlogs.com, The Banter Blender podcast, and the Game Brain podcast, while Ronnie was the Senior editor & writer at TrashTalkTv.com, and was previously a host on the Rose Pricks podcast. [6] [7] [8] They also each had experience hosting the web series "Housewife Hoedown".[ citation needed ]
The start of the podcast also originally featured a third host, Matt Whitfield, who later left the show. [9] In January 2023, it was announced that Watch What Crappens had signed a distribution deal with Wondery. [10]
When the podcast began, episodes provided a more summary-based format of the shows aired by Bravo that week. [11] As the show has evolved over time, new podcast episodes rarely cover more than one episode of a show at a time, with the hosts often going through the episode scene-by-scene [12] with added comedic commentary, and voice impressions of the cast. [13]
Podcast episodes are recorded and uploaded five days a week, [14] along with exclusive weekly Bonus Episodes released via Patreon subscription, [15] and biweekly "Crappy Hours" (once held on "Spotify Greenroom [16] ") in which Ben & Ronnie cover the most recent news pertaining to "Bravolebrities" or other pop culture news. [17] Crappy Hour episodes stream live via the Watch What Crappens Youtube Channel on Monday evenings. [18]
The podcast has hosted its own awards show titled "The Golden Crappies" [19] annually, giving away awards such as "Best Bravolebrity", "Best Newbie", and "Best Bravo Show". The first annual Crappy Awards was held on January 3, 2013, which covered the shows aired by Bravo in the past year (2012). The following awards shows follow the same structure.
More recent additions of the annual Crappy Awards have also been held via telecast, and have opened the voting to the public, garnering over 18,000+ votes past years. [20] In January 2022, the 10th Annual Golden Crappies also served as the kickoff to the Watch What Crappens 10th Anniversary "Hunky Dory" National Tour. [21]
Winners are listed first and in bold.

The podcast frequently uses acronyms when titling recap episodes in order to distinguish between which shows are being recapped in a specific episode.
The style of episode may vary between a recap, Live Show, [23] Crappy Hour event, Trailer Trash, Airport Snaps, and more. A recap episode is typically posted within one week of the air date, in time for them to record their recap for the next week's episode.
Watch What Crappens has taken their podcast live on tour [24] both nationally & globally, [25] with their most recent being the "Mounting Hysteria Tour". [26] Their 2022 Tour was titled "The Hunky Dory Tour". [27]
Live Shows will occasionally feature guests, which in the past have included Dorinda Medley, [28] Lukas Gulbranson, and Jackie Goldschneider. [29]
