Garcelle Ignores Kyle’s Texts, Sutton’s True Thoughts on Garcelle’s Exit, Erika’s PTSD & Dorit/Kyle's Last Chance Apr 12, 2025

Show notes

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion Part Two has come and gone and hunni it did not disappoint. Andy holds Kyle’s feet to the flame over she who shall not be mentioned. Jennifer Tilly eats on stage - a first? - and reminds us how rich she is. Speaking of rich, Kathy Hilton reminds us why she should not be crossed. Garcelle becomes more annoyed at the Diamond Holders by the minute. Erika says very little, so little that we wonder if this is the foreshadowing which has led to her exit rumors next season. Sutton and Dorit face off in an epic showdown which reminds us how low brow it apparently is to live on a main f’ing road - even if it is in Bel Air, being called poor is apparently worse in Bev Hills than being called a see you next… and that Dorit is seemingly the only person on stage that is not afraid to call people out while simultaneously amusing Andy Cohen all within the course of a few sentences. In other news, Garcelle has not texted Kyle back, may never speak to anyone from this cast ever again and prepares to walk off in as dramatic a fashion as possible next week as the season concludes. Sutton looks ahead to a season without Garcelle and more cast shakeup rumors arise which need to be broken down separating lots of true facts from insane fan fiction.

RHOBH Next Season Plans, Garcelle’s Double Standard, Kenya’s Exit & Angela Oakley’s Feud w/ Wendy Williams Apr 11, 2025

Show notes

Leah McSweeney moves ahead with her lawsuit against Bravo, claims victory as we pause and analyze if it is really as big as victory as Ms. McSweeney, and the media, believes? Bronwyn Newport allegedly has a criminal past involving grand theft, identity theft and much more as someone - Lisa Barlow is that you? - leaks this info to the press conveniently as RHOSLC Season 5 filming heats up. Now that Kenya Moore has exited the RHOA building, Brit takes center stage but the audience revolts. Angela Oakley slams Wendy Williams’ claim that Charles Oakley fathered a kid outside the marriage. Nene Leakes’ new podcast / YouTube or whatever it was seems to have already faded into oblivion. Brandi Glanville shares sad health updates, RHOC continues to film and RHOBH concludes with everyone asking just what famous actress is going to replace Garcelle. Well, here are a few ideas….

Chrissy Teigen’s RHOBH Application, Boz’s Upcoming Takedown & Denise Richards' New Reality TV Feud Apr 09, 2025

Show notes

Now that Garcelle has handed back her diamond, or had it revoked, depending how you look at it, RHOBH Producers look ahead to next season with some interesting external casting options, scramble to mend existing cast fences and plant seeds amongst our remaining favs that foreshadow new feuds a brewin’. Southern Charm may be over but Craig and Paige still cannot stop talking about each other. Leva, to no ones surprise, exits SC but reigns supreme as next season of Southern Hospitality is so bright she may have to wear shades. Teddi Mellencamp has not heard from Dorit (sorta) or Garcelle since her many unfortunate health updates over the past few months but she has heard from Vicki Gunvalson. Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen’s other ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, feud over “Denise Richards & Her Wild Things”, Lisa Rinna cannot stop talking RHOBH these days and The Valley, Love Hotel, Vanderpump Villa and RHOM arrive and / or gear up to grace our TV screens over the next few months.

DR. JENN MANN (on Teresa & Luis' Marriage Problems, RHOBH, Teresa/Joe's Reconciliation & Client Erika Jayne) Apr 07, 2025

Show notes

Dr. Jenn Mann steps back Behind The Rope. Fresh off her appearances on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as Erika Jayne’s therapist, Dr. Jenn stops by to, as we like to say, mention it all. Dr. Jenn helps us make sense of many of the ever changing relationships on RHOBH - Kyle and Mo, Dorit and PK, all the single ladies and more. Dr. Jenn provides great advice to some of our fav Bravo couples like Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas, discusses what qualifies as valid red flags and when it is time to run from your current partner based on all the warning signs. Dr. Jenn also weighs in on family dynamics offering advice on what to do when your family just does not see eye to eye, or, even speak to each other anymore like Teresa and Melissa / Joe. Dr. Jenn discusses girl code a la Shannon Beador and Alexis Bellino and the challenges of staying together on Reality TV. Finally, Dr. Jenn explains why Erika Jayne is a dream client and just how far she has come from only a few years ago when the entire world judged her and had written her off.

Teresa Giudice's Divorce Advice, Jennifer Aydin’s Fake Stories & Erika Jayne’s Rough RHOBH Future Apr 06, 2025

Show notes

With all that is going in Teresa’s life with her new normal of being married to someone who has a $2.7M tax debt and $1.25M personal loan, we find today the perfect day to offer some divorce advice to Ms. Giudice and share a financial, romantic and career plan for the future. Albeit unsolicited, we suggest she listen. In other RHONJ news, we address all the stories that have come out over the past few weeks regarding Jennifer Aydin - she let Tre borrow $500K - her and Bill have declared bankruptcy - breaking down the true origins of the stories, separating truth from fiction and reveal the details behind Ms. Aydin’s recent dinner with the TreHugger’s Queen. Finally, Erika Jayne seems to be up to her old tricks, no pun intended, as she faces new legal troubles and, as the RHOBH season closes out, prepares for what may be a rough Season 15 when production begins later this year.
