What Happens Next Now That Teresa/ Melissa Have Reconciled, Heather's Receipts on Lisa & Bethenny Wins All Dec 01, 2025

Show notes

This brilliant, phenomenal season of RHOSLC continues with more allegations, lies, denials and, what many franchises are lacking, humor. Bethenny Frankel has a new message for all and we are seated. The OC is still trying to figure out next season and with Vicki back, it is clear that certain housewives will be existing stage left. Now that Teresa, Melissa, Joey G and Luis have reconciled, completed their BravoCon public eye tour, Bravoholics everywhere are left asking, what now? Last, but not least, Next Gen, All’s Fair, Gossip Girl and more.

Tamra Denies Her Lies, Jeff Lewis Shades Dorit, Denise Talks Rinna, Stacey Rusch Slams Kyle & More BravoCon Hot Takes Nov 30, 2025

Show notes

Stacey Rusch may be a sophomore, but she certainly held her own at BravoCon by amusing Daddy Cohen, slamming Kyle Richards and putting Tamra in her place, audience boos and all. Jeff Lewis may still be recovering from his BravoCon fall out with Andy, but he had enough time to shade Dorit and talk a whole lotta other BS and nonsense. Denise Richards talks Rinna. Ashley Darby wants to marry Craig. West likes Ariana and Carl likes Venita. Ralph remains in the basement. Doute shades Janet and oh, so very much more!

RHOC’s Season 20 Cast Changes, RHORI Trailer, Worst Housewife Newbies of 2025 & Our Unsolicited Advice For Vicki Nov 29, 2025

Show notes

BravoCon may be but ahh a distant memory at this point, but through our Live Show, the questions keep a comin’. The RHORI trailer has been met with mixed reviewed as has Dolores’ official friend of status. Today we break down what to expect from this franchise whose premiere date is rapidly approaching. We offer some advice, albeit unsolicited, to Vicki Gunvalson ahead of her return to RHOC. Speaking of RHOC, the cast is headed for a major shake up ahead of Season 20. Welcome Vicki. Goodbye… The worst new housewives of the year are announced. Podcast feuds are broken down. Last, but not least, several problems still exist with Bravo which need to be fixed before we all say Happy Holidays and rejoice.

Show notes

Corrine Olympios steps Behind The Rope. One of the most talked about contestants in Bachelor Nation history. One of House of Villains’ most controversial contestants. Corrine stops by to chat about it all. Corrine talks Bach Nation controversy, Chris Harrison’s exit, Rachel Lindsay, Nick Viall and more. Of course, the convo quickly turns to Bravo, Real Housewives, VPR, Scheana Shay and, somehow, Christine Quinn. Like we said, Corrine mentions it all.

MICHAEL FISHMAN (on Roseanne, The Conners, Roseanne’s Tweet/ Cancellation & Cast Mates) II Nov 27, 2025

Show notes

Roseanne’s / The Conners' Michael Fishman steps Behind The Rope. Little D.J. Conner all grown up. Michael discusses what it was like being the youngest on a set that included Roseanne, John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf and Lecy Goranson. Michael recalls the best and worst times during Roseanne’s original nine year run from 1988-1997. Michael talks viral moments such as when Roseanne “performed” The National Anthem, guest stars such as Leo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Sandra Bernhard, Sharon Stone, and Bruce Willis, what it was like to be on a TV show that became a worldwide global hit overnight and had stellar ratings throughout the years and the harsh realities of Hollywood after the show went off the air. Finally, Michael talks about The Conners, Roseanne’s now infamous tweet heard round the world and last, but sure not least, Roseanne’s termination and cancellation from the very show she created. Part II starts now!

BravoCon: Dorit Hates Camille, Shep Destroys Paige, Kandi Thanks Phaedra, Whitney Gets Drunk & More! Nov 26, 2025

Show notes

BravoCon may be a brilliant, just passed memory, but there is still so very much to talk about from this epic, non-stop weekend both on and off stage. Dorit had a few choice words for Camille and Denise but looked so chic doing so, cigarette and all. The Bravo’s handed out award after award which left Phaedra shocked, Archie Beador happy and a clear upcoming many seasons long run for Next Gen NYC. The Summer House vs. Southern Charm feud heats up with everyone and anyone weighing in except Craig who avoided the SH cast at all costs. Sheree used a bunch of excuses for a whole lotta things, Angie K wants Jen Shah back, Scheana created fake news, Gizelle shaded Dorit and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Wendy Osefo's Alias & 40 Credit Cards, Mia Thornton Arrested, Porsha Goes Free & Meghan King Loses Her Kids Nov 26, 2025

Show notes

The BravoVerse has not has a second to rest since BravoCon and legally things are not looking great. Wendy Osefo’s alias have been exposed, the authorities claim she has over 40 credit cards and Wendy and her legal team have clapped back claiming she is being targeted. Mia Thornton has been arrested and Gizelle could care less. Porsha has been investigated by the FBI, cleared of any wrongdoing and is back on the move, Delta miles and all. Meghan King has lost her kids for various reasons and the ally that no one wants, nor asked for, Kelly Dodd demands her name be cleared. Andy Cohen got very annoyed at two BravoLebs at The Bravos. Jeff Lewis shaded everyone but offers words of advice. LVP had Garcelle’s back. Scheana is The Valley’s dark secret. Camille thanks Kelsey. Ashley slams newbie Angel. Last, but not least, after this week of RHOP, one thing becomes crystal clear, Stacey Rusch can do no wrong. Take that Cookie, finger wave and all.

Sutton's Villain Era, Kyle's Easy Season, Heather's Receipts on Lisa & Meredith's Breakdown/ Denial Nov 24, 2025

Show notes

As Andy Cohen said at BravoCon, RHOSLC is the best show on TV right now. Okay, well one of them at least. Let us never forget All’s Fair. Anyhoo, Heather has receipts that expose Lisa Barlow, Whitney Rose is up to her old tricks, Meredith has a break down but denies, denies, denies, Bronwyn bears all, Britani has a unicorn, Angie holds her own and last, but not least, everybody loves Mary. In other news, RHOBH is back in our lives with an extended BravoCon trailer that has left everyone wanting more!
