Latest Episodes:

235. EXCLUSIVE: Luke quit filming The Valley; a Southern Hospitality exclusive; is Golden Life already done? Nov 14, 2026

Show notes

Two Cocktailer announcements first. The public podcast posts on the site have new sharing features — quote cards you can send straight to any platform, and buttons that jump you right to the moment in the episode where we're talking about it. And the merch store is back for the holidays: shop.cocktailsandgossip.com, or hit SHOP at bravoandcocktails.com. It's only up until around the first week of December so everything can arrive in time, so get your orders in.

Then: Georgia from Next Gen NYC invited us to a poetry reading at Jonathan Adler's store in New York, and B and Tracy went. B has thoughts about who from the cast did and didn't show up to support her. And once again, Cocktailers knew first: we have the full Next Gen NYC cast, including the newbie nobody else has named yet and the one addition we broke on October 24 that Page Six confirmed days later. We'll tell you who moved to Atlanta and who isn't on the cast at all.

Big EXCLUSIVE news from The Valley. A Cocktailer caught the cast at the Vegas airport with a camera crew, and we can tell you exactly who was there and three names who weren't. Then two DMs came in, and the second one is a podcast exclusive: we're hearing Luke quit filming about three weeks ago. One source insists he and Kristen are very much still together. Amanda is not so sure...this pattern feels familiar, all the way back to Camille Grammar. ,

We've also got exclusive Southern Hospitality intel from our Charleston crew, who have never missed: when filming finally starts, who is out, and who is getting demoted to group-events-only. Plus, Margaret Josephs went on Jeff Lewis Live and said a West Coast Golden Life is in development with RHOBH and RHOC OGs combined — and then we got an email telling us something very different about the whole franchise. We get into whether we believe either one, and how we're both feeling about Golden Life generally. Oh, and congratulations are in order for an RHORI cast member who's getting married in Positano.

Then New York, which gave us one of its best episodes in years (in our opinions, of course). We've got intel from a Cocktailer who took the viewers choice survey and can tell you exactly which cast members and which husbands Bravo is asking about, plus who they appear to be eyeing for next season... and yes, Amanda called it last week. Then we break the whole episode down: the comedy event, what went down in the courtyard afterward, Daisy and the party invitation, Daisy and Sai going at it again, Carole's very sharp observation about which of them actually defends the other, and the Pavit and Jessel conversation that we are genuinely worried about. One word: contempt.

234. The Kyle and Lindsay kiss; Whose G-Wagon? SLOMW divorce drama; RHOBH battles Nov 07, 2026

Show notes

We start with Halloween...B misses trick-or-treating, Amanda got teary watching the little kids, and she may have talked a friend into a whole couples trip to Charleston. Then the Bravoverse lost it this week. The In the City cast trip went to Tulum, Page Six confirmed the newbies we told you about a week and a half ago, and a rumor came out of the weekend that Kyle and Lindsay kissed. What we know and why this might be happening... Then the part that actually went viral: Kyle left a comment on one of West's posts, deleted it, and the internet did the rest. A thread went up, Amanda Batula weighed in on it, and then a Cocktailer noticed she and Kyle were no longer following each other. Amanda Batula went after B in the comments section... A former producer has gone on a podcast with a story about being almost run over by a housewife in a G wagon. We did a little investigating and name who it could have been. Also: Sutton posted a picture with a new guy she met on Bumble, and the internet did its homework fast. Doesn't look like a great choice, and a Cocktailer who knows him personally had nothing good to say. RHOBH is shaping up to be a great season - big cast, and looks like there will be a big divide.

233. Surprise! We went to Fan Fest! RHORI tea; What's next for NextGen Oct 31, 2026

Show notes

Surprise! B, Tracy and Amanda went to Fan Fest in Charleston! We tell you all about the hotspots we went to, the amazing food we ate, who we met, and of course, the tea. But first, our screenshot of Kyle Cooke's comment on West Wilson's post went viral. We have updates on what we're hearing about West and Amanda on In the City plus other casting updates. Talk about surreal moments, we interviewed Craig in the back room of Sewing Down South, and Tracy, of course, asked Craig if she could use his hot tub. We had so much fun at the actual Fan Fest event...the panels, the interactive exhibits, and chatting with the other fans made it such a fun day. We have a hot off the presses exclusive for you all about RHORI and why a certain castmate didn't go to Fan Fest. B has a very interesting theory about Daisy and Sai's friendship, and once you hear it, you won't be able to unhear it. There's been so much back and forth about what's next for RHOC. We have the latest and we think the "make us miss you" strategy will be enacted...but it really does make sense from all aspects for Bravo. Last but not least, the Next Gen tea: Emira's party, NextGen LA, and what's happening with NextGenATL.

232. ALL TEA EPISODE; Valley split? RHOC pause rumors; Next Gen NYC casting; New Bravo franchise AND cities? Oct 24, 2026

Show notes

Cocktailers who are coming to Fan Fest — send us pics and tips! DM B or hit the Send Us Tea button at bravoandcocktails.com all weekend. Last BravoCon you gave us Shep talking smack and Lindsay Hubbard keeping the peace between Tom Sandoval and his ex, and we'll be ready. We start with the email we got about Kristen Doute and Luke, who the streets say have split. Nothing is confirmed and we're rootin gfor them. Next Gen NYC is updating their cast. Who's in and who's out? Gia Giudice's restaurant is getting slammed online for being adults only. We both come down on Gia's side on this, even as moms. But there's one key piece of info that puts us on the same side. Could RHOC go on pause? And is Bravo soft launching Lindsay Hubbard for a move to RHONY? We're skeptical about this rumor, and share a few reasons why. And we're hearing more and more about a possible new franchise show at Bravo and possible new cities. Last, Bronwyn from RHOSLC is spotted on a flight, the model showing up in Kyle Cooke's videos, and our feelings about Tia from RHOP.

231. So many exclusives; Will diggers; What we heard about Amanda on In the City; Potomac and RHONY both went off Oct 17, 2026

Show notes

We talk exclusives for the first half of the pod! Including a new show that's been greenlit, what's been happening with Jesse McBee and his wife, Alli, plus we're going rogue from what everyone else is saying about Amanda, West and filmig iIn the City. Plus, we heard why CT wasn't in the Bahamas, and the "love child" Southern Charm rumor got a little louder this week. Whitner, we have a proposition for you.

B educates Amanda on the phenomenon of "Will Diggers" or "Senior Chasers" who try to manipulate senior citizens to gain an inheritance. Here's the link to the country song B talked about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKpQRjj_WbU

The Real Housewives of Potomac premiere was a banger. Robyn is back and won't give Shmaren a moment of peace. Wendy tries to throw Eddie under the bus from her $200k G Wagon. And we are so sad about Tia...did she know? We have some theories about what might have been happening behind the scenes. Then the premieres. Potomac came back loud: Karen is out of jail and nobody in our DMs is happy she's back, Wendy Osefo is talking about the indictments while pulling up in a G Wagon, Robyn is not giving Karen a minute of peace, and Stacey and Ashley and the rest of the women drop something about Tia's husband at a picnic table that we are still thinking about. Did Tia already know? We disagree on that one. And on RHONY, the old Sai is back and Amanda thinks she's a hypocrite. We get pretty heated about this topic...

230. Tracy's download from the Virtual Reali-Tea Awards; Whitney Rose files; Vicki is mad at us; Phaedra and CT Oct 10, 2026

Show notes

Tracy is with us this week, and she's breaking down the Virtual Reali-Tea Awards. Huge thank you at the Tristate Cadillac Club for hosting us at a genuinely wild night. Tracy tells all: who she met, who was actually letting loose, Kyle Cooke behind the DJ booth, Carl Radke with his shirt off, the Countess closing out the show, and which Bravoleb is even better looking in person. But first, Cocktailers, it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Do your self exams and get your mammograms. Whitney Rose was partying at the awards without a care in the world, and her attorney officially filed for divorce the next morning. We have some interesting theories about that whole situation, including a DM about exactly where Justin was spotted last weekend and the company he was keeping. Vicki Gunvalson is very angry at us, so come down this rabbit hole with us that ends with Vickiherself calling us liars. We've also got tea on where Carmella stands, and what's happening with casting for next season, if there is one. Plus RHOA has rolled up to Baha Mar and our Cocktailers are on property, of course. We have reports from the flight, the lobby and the resort. Is CT actually there? The new Southern Charm trailer has everyone flipping out over a love child accusation, and our Charleston people did not disappoint.

229. Are cameras up on In the City? Kyle's a Cocktailer? Are we Smothers? Oct 03, 2026

Show notes

Happy first birthday to one of our youngest Cocktailers, Baby Beau! This week's Zoom was one for the books...you never know what's going to happen on a Cocktailer Zoom and this one did not disappoint. We're watching Ciara on Dancing with the Stars ad we're so proud to see her doing so well. Are cameras for In the City up? And will West and Amanda be on the show? We tell you what we know plus have some firsthand tea from someone who saw them at the Yankees game. Apparently even Kyle Cooke is interested in that tea, because he reposted it. We're hearing some rumors about Whitney and Justin from RHOSLC - let's just say the streets are talking. We know B is no fan of Whitney's but should Whitney take all the blame for the explosive fight with Quai on the trolley? Smother Mothers...do we consider ourselves Smothers? And last but not least, we're not really surprised that Bronwyn didn't tell the whole truth about her previous marriage....

228. RHOC: is a pause coming? New face on RHOSLC (not just Meredith's); Should Hailey have said that? Sep 26, 2026

Show notes

Halloween tangents: One of us did racy costumes in her 20s, one didn't, but both are trying to bring the racy costume back. Also, a reminder that the Cocktail Party Zoom is this Tuesday the 29th at 7pm ET. Podcast exclusive: Katie Ginella posted a cryptic "karma" reel this week, so we took it to an OC source. Listen to hear what we're hearing. Plus the Discord debate we want your take on: why is Katie catching heat for gloating when Janet Caperna did the same thing about Danny Booko and Nia Sanchez leaving The Valley and nobody blinked? West Wilson has a new show, and has been spotted with Amanda Batula. Kenny and Whitney got engaged in Italy with a People spread, and we're keeping an eye on Kenny, who might be showing shades of bridezilla — ask him about the pink flowers. Over on RHONY, the new women are coming out swinging at their own marriages: Hailey Glassman on why she married Ruben, Daisy's Craigslist-and-Raya arrangement, and the Jessel versus Erin showdown that sounded extremely rehearsed. Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has a new face (not Meredith) - we are liking Ashley Quai. Whitney Rose and Justin are still living in the same house, and Bronwyn Newport's model boyfriend Brandon has everyone talking. We've also got two exclusive emails out of Salt Lake: one about an OG whose new "boyfriend" is reportedly on her payroll, and one about a blonde OG who is furious that Bronwyn got Traitors over her. Amanda did a little research on what an ayahuasca retreat actually involves, and we're interested but too chicken to try it. Next Gen NYC: does Charlie have B under his spell?

227. RHOSLC: We're crying; We see Erin vs. Jessel differently; The Next Gen kids are alright Sep 19, 2026

Show notes

The RHOSLC season premiere was this week and we are both weepy, teary messes. It was a beautiful tribute and look inside how all the housewives reacted and also supported Mary. Rest in Peace, Robert Jr.

And RHONY was another banger. Erin vs. Jessel and why we see it differently. A moment of appreciation for Erika. Our conversation about Martha Stewart and Daisy turns into: How do celebrities retain their makeup artists? Seriously, Cocktailers, we are curious about this. Tell us what you know. We're hearing about what we can look forward to for the next season of RHONY. We wrap up the pod by talking about the Next Gen NYC finale part 1. We disagree about Liam, and do we think Georgia has a future on the show? B has an interesting theory about why Riley and Ariana are actually not speaking.

226. RHONY is SO back; We're giving Sai the side-eye; CT and Phaedra; Todd Tucker's Thirst Sep 12, 2026

Show notes

RHONY is back, baby. We feel like we got the yacht after this episode. From the Carole Radziwill homage to Carrie Bradshaw to the Martha Stewart cameo right off the back, we think we are going to have a lot to look forward to as fans. While we're happy that Sai is sharing more about what was really going on in her marriage, we can't help but give her the side-eye for not being honest with us all along, and we're really questioning her motives for becoming Jessel's bestie. Hailey Glassman was perhaps the biggest surprise of the show: not at all what we were expecting and we are loving the kookiness. Are CT and Phaedra for real? As much as we love them together, we've got our suspicions and will tell you why we both feel this way. Todd Tucker is not worldwide, but he's releasing a new documentary about his divorce. We would like one Cocktailer to go see this movie and report back to the rest of us. And how his other new movie release is related to some RHOA casting news that we're hearing. Last but not least, could Steven McBee's ex-girlfriend Allie be getting her own show? We're hearing some rumors. NOTE: Amanda accidentally listed Allie's last name as Eckhart. Allie's last name is Eklund, and we're sorry for that mistake, especially because we're both big fans of hers!
