Kelly Dodd Goes Psycho, Jeff Lewis Warns Bravo Producers & Rachel Zoe's RHOBH Future (w/ Patrik & Pol) May 13, 2026

Show notes

Kelly Dodd is at it again and this time her target is none other than the one and only chump herself, Miss Crystal Kung Minkoff. Jealously? Betrayal? We get to the bottom of Kelly’s latest breakdown and mental snap. Meanwhile, Jeff Lewis sends a stern warning to Bravo producers. Speaking of Mr. Lewis, the next ChumpCon is in full planning mode and we offer a few ideas of our own. Did someone say Heather McDonald? The Golden Life falls short.

Jeff Lewis Censored, Andy Cohen Is Mad, Rachel Zoe Flops & RHOC 20 Filming Tea (w/ Patrik & Pol) May 11, 2026

Show notes

Jeff Lewis is censored. Andy Cohen is mad about all sorts of things these days. Bravo is expected to employ harsh new rules for all those attending and filming a reunion. So much is happening out of the norm these days in the BravoSphere, we can hardly keep up. RHOC Season 20 filing tea leaks. Katie Ginella is furious. Rachel Zoe still does not know the full extent of the Housewives experience. Last, but least, Kathy Hilton takes Amanda Frances under her wings as cast changes are expected ahead of next RHOBH season.

Dolores Banned From RHORI Reunion, Andy Talks Ciara's Summer House Exit & Erika/ Dorit Are Done Forever May 10, 2026

Show notes

The RHOBH reunion, and season, have come to an end and Dorit and Kyle/ Erika are dunzo just like LVP and Kyle/Dorit. The end of an era as RHOBH makes moves to lock in its next season’s cast. Andy Cohen talks about Ciara’s Summer House exit. Bravo does not want Dolores at the RHORI reunion. Lala refuses to talk about Scheana. Stassi and Katie reconcile. Last, but not least, ahead of tonight’s RHOA, Angela, Phaedra and Porsha try all that have to save this rapidly sinking ship.

Laguna Beach's Christina Schuller (on Laguna Beach, The Hills, RHOC & Reality TV) May 10, 2026

Show notes

Christina Schuller (now Sinclair), from Laguna Beach, steps Behind The Rope. One of the OG's of Laguna Beach. Season One! With Laguna Beach’s 20th Anniversary having aired earlier this month, all things Laguna are top of the mind. With The Real World being one of the only predecessors to compare it to, Christina sheds light on what filming was like when “no one knew what they were doing”. That “no one” included producers. We discussed the “Game of Thrones” casting process and competition amongst Laguna Beach’s High School Students to be one of chosen eight. Christina talks The Hills, The City and The Hills: New Beginnings. Christina opens up about what life was like when she was thrust into the public eye overnight and how that changed life forever. Of course we discuss some of her Laguna Beach co-stars Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari, Stephen Colletti, Lo Bosworth, Talan Torriero, Trey Phillips and Morgan Olsen.
