Last, but not least, Denise Richards’ ex Aaron makes a desperate move for all sorts of reasons none of which seem to be working.

Show notes

Rachel Zoe checks in and opens up about how her freshman season of RHOBH is really going, what she finds the most unexpected and the unlikely advice Miss Lisa Rinna gave her to prepare for the tornado that is Housewives. Jennifer Aydin shares a little too much information which reveals one thing, she is delusional, for lack of a better word as we try our very best to be nice in the New Year, about a lot of things. Try seems to be the key word. Last, but not least, a leaked email reveals all sorts of shocking things about Meredith Marks we just cannot seem to get enough of.

RHOC Delayed, Our Unsolicited Advice For Margaret, Rinna Wants To Be Kris Jenner & Meredith's Intervention Jan 10, 2026

Show notes

After another stellar season, the RHOSLC finale has finally arrived with an all out intervention for the one, the only Meredith Marks. The group, with the exception of Barlow, finally seem united, but has this take down season of Meredith really worked the way everyone, including Bravo production, has hoped? In other news, the love fest between Melissa and Teresa continues and, although she thinks she has taken baby steps forward, Margaret has made one fatal mistake in hoping to secure her RHONJ return, should the show ever actually come back. Season 20 of RHOC gets delayed. Dolores criticizes more housewives with her newfound, better late than never, voice. Last, but not least, Lisa Rinna makes moves to become the next Kris Jenner.
