Vicki & Tamra’s War Escalates, Tamra’s Daughter Weighs In & Rumors About The Husband (Eddie) Arise Sep 12, 2024

Show notes

There is really only one main topic to break down today. After gathering all of the facts of she said, she said, we break down the epic war that seems to be getting worse by the day between Tamra and Vicki, no last names needed. Who could have ever predicted this? After feuding all season, off air, Vicki slammed Tamra as a bad mom who does not care at all about daughter Sidney, has martial problems with husband Eddie and is just a dark, toxic person of no substance. Fresh out of a brow lift, CO2 laster treatment and chemical peel, looking almost unrecognizable, Tamra clapped back, changed her tune twenty four hours later and broke down leaving fans to speculate what was real and not real. We break down the back story of this feud, the claims that Tamra and Eddie have problems and that Vicki is jealous, pathetic and will never be back on RHOC in the feud we never expected, nor knew we needed, but are so here for considering it is just as dynamic, diabolical and entertaining as anything we are watching on this season of RHOC.

Introducing: Pop Culture Moms Sep 11, 2024

Show notes

Sharing an episode of a podcast we're loving. On Pop Culture Moms, longtime friends and pop culture enthusiasts Andie Mitchell and Sabrina Kohlberg seek the best advice and most valuable insights from the fictional moms we love most from TV and movies. Each week Andie and Sabrina sit down with fellow “scholars” of pop culture to explore the highs and lows of parenting. And they talk to some of our favorite Bravolebrities and reality TV stars. Like Real Housewife of Salt Lake City Heather Gay, who discusses leaving perfectionism behind. And Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger who shares all her hot takes on celebrity couples who go the distance.

In this episode, Garcelle Beauvais talks about parenting, pop culture and the younger celebrities she’d love to date. She also dishes about the time she almost quit “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” and one big change we can expect next season.

Brittany Breaks Down, Jax Develops PTSD, Stassi Returns (Details!), LVP Wins & The Toms’ New Plan Sep 11, 2024

Show notes

So many changes in the VanderVerse, so little time. Today we try to make sense of it all. Jax and Brittany move forward with their divorce, engage in on line shade, film The Valley - separately, continue the Pod - separately and everything and anything else in between as she goes on the cast trip while he sits this one out. Jax is diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and PTSD, Brittany is seen breaking down during filming and we wonder whether this divorce will actually happen. Scheana and Lala continue to film The Valley, Stassi Schroeder prepares to film Stassi Says and Vanderpump Villa and Lisa Vanderpump smiles ear to ear with the last laugh. All this and we still do not know about the future of VPR as we are joined back by Rob Schulte from the Vanderpump Robs Podcast.

Louie Ruelas’ Warning To His Enemies, Margaret’s Rumored Take Down of Melissa & Jen Aydin Slams Tamra Judge Sep 08, 2024

Show notes

Andy Cohen tripled down this week on the fact that we should not ask about, think about or expect RHONJ casting news any time soon. That said, it seems to have been a busy week in RHONJ land. Louie Ruelas posted a warning to his enemies which seems to double down on how he feels about Margaret’s son, suggest he was not at all sorry despite his on line apology and imply that he is still as conflicted, having learned nothing, as the toxic nature of RHONJ seems to not have cooled at all despite Andy’s pause. Rachel Fuda claims she is unemployed from RHONJ. Blind items surface that Marge plans to take down Melissa with her arsenal of dirt if she is fired from the show. Finally, Vicki and Tamra’s war gets even nastier, fans and RHOC cast members weigh in and Jennifer Aydin takes the opportunity to slam Tamra back for all that she has said to about her over the past few weeks.

LYNNE CURTIN (on RHOC, Tamra, Vicki, Kyle Richards & Cuffs) Sep 08, 2024

Show notes

The Real Housewives of Orange County's Lynne Curtin steps Behind The Rope. Lynne takes us back to when she was first cast to step behind the gates of Coto de Caza in Season Four of the hit Bravo show. Lynne walks us through how she was cast on RHOC, who she knew before being cast and some of the story lines we saw regarding her life as they played out on national television. We discuss how The Real Housewives of Orange Country has changed since the early days and how reality tv, in general, is a whole new landscape in the modern age. Of course we discuss the status of Lynne's current relationships with other OC staples such as Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, Jeana Keough, Gretchen Rossi, Lydia McLaughlin, Emily Simpson, Heather Dubrow, Lizzie Rovsek, and the Peggys Sulahian and Tanous. We also talk about the times she has crossed paths with Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump and many of our friends from Laguna Beach and The Hills. Finally, no chat with Lynne Curtin would ever be complete without a discussion of her iconic, classic, one of a kind "Lynne Curtin Cuffs”. With this season of RHOC well under way, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Lynne Curtin.

RHONJ Old Rumors Resurface, Our Past w/ Alexis Jugs, Teresa’s Cold Heart & Jeff Lewis' Messiness Sep 07, 2024

Show notes

For everyone who did not attend our live show, which lasted over three long hours, no question was off limits. Having just watched one of the most toxic seasons of RHONJ a lot of questions were about RHONJ past, current and, most important, future. Who will return - Teresa or Melissa or Neither? We break all of that down in this Final Part Three of our live show which sold out earlier this month where no question was off limits and where we could not plead the fifth. From questions about the future of RHONJ, to our own personal break ups and make ups with Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin and other RHONJ staples, we spilled the tea leaving no stone unturned no matter what or who it exposed. If there is one thing we learned from this season of RHONJ, as they say, the truth shall set you free. Of course, we also chatted about this current season of RHOC, shared inside info regarding the future of Vanderpump Rules and discussed what we know about Erika Jayne’s role in RHOBH’s upcoming Season 14. All this and more as we share this Part One today with you, our loyal Patreons. Hey, you may not be able to ask a live question, but at least now you can hear them all and, even more importantly, hear all of the answers. Hope you enjoy this Part Three conclusion to our live show where no question was off limits!

RHONJ Friendship Breakups Post Show, Fans Demand Tamra Judge’s Firing & Jesus Jugs Gets Engaged Sep 06, 2024

Show notes

With RHONJ over and done, a lot of the cast is spending time together while other possibly former RHONJ seem to want nothing to do with each other. We discuss which friendships are real and which of our fav Garden State ladies will probably never speak again now that the season has come to an end. In other news, Tom Girardi is found guilty, Erika Jayne reacts and we, the viewing public, await his sentencing later this year. Tamra Judge’s well laid plan for this season of RHOC seems to have gone awry, producers are suspected to be involved, the Housewives audience demands that she be fired and Tamra claps back. On that note, we discuss all the mistakes many Housewives make and break down which wife has played the game the best over the past almost two decades that the entire franchise has been in our lives. Hint: She is still on her respective show. Garcelle Beauvais sets boundaries for RHOBH Season 14, John and Alexis get engaged and Shannon continues to shine seemingly ,outwardly unbothered by it all.
