As well as my normal catch up on what's happened in reality tv this week, I also caught up with energy healer and astrology aficianado Audrey O'Connor. Audrey and I have been chatting in DMs about the impact various bravolebrities' star signs had on their behaviour, and I felt it was time to bring that chat to the masses! She explains what mixes make great shows, and gives some insight in to why Amanda is behaving the way she is, as well as the stars of Beverly Hills and Salt Lake City.
