Show notes

Kim D. is back where she belongs to help break down all this week’s happenings in both RHONJ and RHOBH land. First we chat about those viral honeymoon pics of Tre and Luis that have been circulating all over the internet. PDA much? Then we break down Frank Catania’s claims that he had to break up the men and women at the finale, share a Mel/Tre update - does anyone even still care, and deep dive the Margaret / Laura spat that took Twitter by storm earlier this week. Heading west, we address the social media hate Garcelle’s son received earlier this week, Bravo and the RHOBH cast’s response and what happens now? On a lighter note, we discuss Homeless Not Toothless, award this season’s MVP and address those casting rumors that Lisa Rinna’s time has come and that she is on the chopping block!

RHOBH Chopping Block Rumors, Denise Richards' "Return", Our Insider Info on RHONY Casting Rumors & Dodd VS. Gorga! Aug 26, 2022

Show notes

As RHOBH casting rumors for next season swirl, we break down the likelihood that the rumored Diana, Rinna and Crystal will be let go. We share our thoughts on that and offer up some likely other options of who will most likely be on the chopping block next season. As these casting rumors circulate, Denise Richards weighs in announcing she would return to RHOBH in the future. It certainly would be a good weekly reminder that her Only Fans is alive and well, not that she needs any help in that category and she would certainly be coming for Rinna. Hello Bravo. Are you listening? Ariana Biermann was arrested for DUI and her and Kim Zolciak have come out swinging. What do they say about there being two sides to every story? Kelly Dodd calls Melissa Gorga a loser, Cynthia Bailey says Tre is warmer than Mel, and we ask does anyone still care about the fact that Tre and Mel will never, should we say it louder for those in back, never get along. Finally, we address those recent RHONY 2.0 reboot casting rumors and weigh in regarding our friend Orfeh who was named as one of the new six apple holders. Of course, we called and texted Ms. Orfeh to get to the bottom of all these rumors of who really is being cast in the new RHONY and break down when we will most likely hear the definitive cast so that we can all sleep a little better at night.

The Nene Leakes and Andy Cohen seems to be over. Let us discuss. In other current news, Sutton is not shying away from any of the drama this season of RHOBH as we deep dive this season, drunk Erika, who we think is carrying the season and who will go. Kathy Hilton chats Kyle’s RHOBH future and the fact that she herself never wants to hold a diamond. In RHOA land we break down Marlo’s freshman season as a Peach Holder and ask is she carrying the season or doing too much, too soon. Ahh, life’s most important questions. Someone who wont be back on Bravo anytime soon, if ever, by choice, is Miss Monique Samuels who just turned down RHUGT, personal phone call from Andy Cohen and all. Finally, since y’all cannot seem to get enough of Tre’s wedding, Luis Ruelas, the rumors surrounding Mel and Joe not attending, and everything RHONJ in between, yea, we go there, once again breaking it all down for you from every possible angle y’all can even possibly imagine!

Show notes

Taylor Armstrong breaks all records and becomes the first Housewife ever to cross cities. Ok, that happened the other week but we have not talked about it yet and now that we have had time to accept, process and absorb this news, we are here to break down our thoughts on Taylor going RHOC, how this will affect the rest of the cast, what we predict will happen with Tamra, Heather, Shannon, Emily, Gina, what this means for the future of RHOC and how likely is an Alexis Bellino return. We also discuss the wider implications and affects Taylor’s return will have on Housewives and if it is strong enough to warrant Phaedra Park’s seemingly strong desire to join RHODUbai! In other news, we address the rumors that Jill Zarin is banned from the RHONY OG Show, that Ramona is also persona non grata , Jill Zarin’s perfect cast for the RHONY reboot, focused around her of course, and when we can actually expect to see either of the two RHONY’s back on our screens. We chat Leah McSweeny’s rumored ban from Thailand, Lisa Rinna owning it all, Lenny and Lisa Hochstein’s heated divorce and last, but not least, Denise Richards’ epic steamier than ever Only Fans.

Erika Jayne & Jen Shah Legal Update, RHOM & RHONJ Update, Austen Kroll / Rachel Hargrove Feud & More! Aug 18, 2022

Show notes

With all that seems to be changing by the day with Erika Jayne and Jen Shah’s legal woes, we felt it was time to slow down and deep dive both. Erika got served at LAX and the claims behind the 50M Dollar Racketeering Lawsuit are shocking to say the least. Jen Shah plead guilty in her criminal fraud case and is now waiting to be sentenced. We discuss both, the current state of both cases, and what happens next in both cases. In other news, Below Deck’s Rachel Hargrove slams Southern Charm’s Austen Kroll in a feud we did not ever see coming or think we needed. Margaret and Tre have a newfound BFF-ship, Tre’s wedding approaches and RHOM’s Nicole Martin sells what Andy Cohen calls the nicest house to ever appear on Bravo on any show including all of the Million Dollar Listings.
