Jennifer Aydin Slams Teresa, Margaret & Dolores’ Fake Friendship, Teresa’s Denial & RHOC Recap Jul 20, 2024

Show notes

RHONJ Episode 10, Season 14. Is everyone awake or have you fallen asleep with the rest of us? We break down this episode, Jennifer Aydin’s erratic WWHL appearance, the alternate reunion which was filmed this week and Andy’ Cohen’s comments that in 4 short weeks when the toxic season ends, big changes n the form of a reboot, recast and / or termination of the franchise are coming. We discuss the involvement of the RHONJ bloggers, Dolores and Margaret’s fake friendship and the cracks between Jennifer and Teresa. Over in Orange County, a brilliant second episode has dropped, Alexis and Shannon jockey for position at The Quiet Woman and remind us how great vintage style Housewife feuds can be, Heather Dubrow reminds us how rich Housewives can be and the TamRat continues to do what she does best… scurry in the corner looking for a piece of cheese. All this and more as Andrea Lopez chimes in as what some call the Queen of NJ, Teresa.

Ariana’s VPR Future, Brandi Glanville Slams Jax, Rachel Leviss’ Court Win & Bethenny’s Erratic Hamptons Summer Jul 19, 2024

Show notes

Love Island has just had its highest rated season ever. The Ariana effect is in full effect, no pun intended, as it is looking less and less likely that she will return to Vanderpump Rules. Lala shows a baby shower, Jax claims to have slept with both Ramona and Brandi Glanville, Rachel Leviss scores wins in court and the VPR pause remains in full effect as there is no discussion amongst Producers, Bravo or the fans about when and if this show will return. Bethenny Frankel continues her confusing summer in The Hamptons, reconnects again with Jill Zarin and finds herself in hot water, again, over recent comments, videos and social media posts which many call erratic. Finally, we spill the tea from the upcoming RHONJ alternate reunion and discuss who is likely to lose their job in a few short weeks when this season ends.

Jennifer Aydin Angers Andy, RHONJ Bloggers Expose More Drama & Kyle and Mauricio Make Moves Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

Kyle and Mauricio make moves, Dorit and PK remain apart and we share the news that, yes, RHOBH is expected to return to our Bravo TV’s later this year as opposed to the originally reported 2025. Hot off her disasterorus WWHL appearance this past week, Jennifer Aydin doubles down on her claims against Bloggers, triples down on her claims against Danielle Cabral and seems to be totally unaware that her job is most likely being taken away in a few short weeks when this season of RHONJ comes to a close. RHONJ prepares for a long pause, RHOC returns with a bang - of sorts - and Shannon Beador continues to face her DUI, Alexis and Johnny J head on, Is it too early to grant MVP RHOC status for the season? Press play.

Best known for his “To Catch a Predator” series, Chris stops by to chat about his newest endeavor, “Predator In Plain Sight: Exposing Tom Girardi”. “Predator In Plain Sight: Exposing Tom Girardi” is a new Podcast in which Chris, along with victim’s advocate and former Girardi Keese employee Kimberly Archie, breaks down the rise and fall of Tom Girardi as Tom prepares to face a jury in a few short weeks on August 6th. Chris discusses the predatory nature of Tom, upcoming trial, Erika Jayne, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the likelihood of a guilty verdict, likelihood Tom would ever see the inside of a jail, whether Erika would ever be charged and, if so, with what and the media frenzy a la RHOBH of it all.

Andy Cohen Confirms RHONJ Pause/Reboot, Jennifer Aydin's Clueless Behavior & Kathy Wakile Returns Jul 16, 2024

Show notes

Andy Cohen has spoken out and he is not at all happy with the toxic nature of RHONJ. Andy addresses the bloggers, the leaked screeners, spoilers, Teresa’s manipulative attorney and much more as he explains, in three short weeks, RHONJ is going on pause as he, The Producers and Bravo figure out how and if there is any way to save this franchise. Speaking of bloggers, Andy questioned Jennifer Aydin on WWHL the other night, gets annoyed with her and moves on as Jennifer, Teresa and other cast members seem to remain in denial about their upcoming potential job loss as RHONJ “rebrands”. Kathy Wakile appeared on WWHL, the fandom now expects her back on RHONJ, Kathy clapped back at Melissa and we dive deep into whether any past RHONJ or “Friend Of” RHONJ is ripe for a comeback. Alexis Bellino slams Shannon as obsessed and details the timeline of her love with Johnny J, Heather Durbrow shades newbie Katie and we, the audience, rejoice yet again in what seems to be a stellar RHOC season. Finally, we share an update on Kenya Moore’s RHOA future.

MONICA GARCIA (on Reality Von Tease, Cast Mates, Jen Shah & Life After RHOSLC) I Jul 15, 2024

Show notes

Monica Garcia steps Behind The Rope. Reality Von Tease is in the house! The woman behind THE most exciting moment, season, scene, development in Housewives History since, well, Teresa’s table flip over a decade ago. Receipts, Proof, Timeline, Screenshots. We cover fu$king everything. Monica takes us through it all clarifying what were various still confusing timelines of how she went from fan to an actual bona fide breakout superstar Real Housewife on RHOSLC Season 4. We talk about the true facts behind her current “cooling off” period, personal life, tumultuous relationship with her mom, upcoming RHOSLC Season 5, Dita Von Teese, rumors of a Lisa vs Whitney feud - again and where the once great, then not so great, then best season ever of Salt Lake goes next now that she is no longer part of the journey. Finally, bringing it back to where it all started, we break down the Jen Shah of it all, what she would say to Jen - and RHOSLC cast - today, what she would like to have happen in five years when Ms. Shah is expected to be a free woman and much, much more!

RHONJ Alternate Reunion Tea, Jax Has Been w/ Brandi & Ramona and Shannen Doherty RIP Jul 14, 2024

Show notes

Shannen Doherty has passed away. Having met Shannen many multiple times, we share our thoughts, stories and send condolences to Shannen’s family. Icon, Trailblazer and Fearless. For anyone who listened to her Podcast every week, a fighter up til the end.

In other news, Jax Taylor claims to have slept with both Ramona The Singer Stinger and Brandi Glanville, Brandi claps back and The Valley prepares to begin production on Season Two later this summer. RHOC has returned with a stellar episode, an Alexis vs Shannon smackdown months in the making and ratings that, unfortunately, are not great causing us to ask, “if the beginning of the end of Housewives” is really finally here. Finally, details are spilled on the alternate RHONJ reunion set to film tomorrow, the new RHONJ episode that drops in a few hours and Andy Cohen's four different plans for how RHONJ can proceed after a low rated, toxic AF season which we break down and discuss.
