Erika’s Choice Between Kyle/Dorit, Lisa Barlow’s Dark Secret & RHONY’s New Cast Feb 04, 2025

Show notes

Now that we are smack dab in the middle of the RHONY reunion and Production is allegedly looking for new RHIONY cast members, we deep dive whether Brynn Whitfield will be fired and who else from the cast is likely to have to turn in their apple when the dust settles from this season. Kyle and Dorit’s friendship remains fractured but is it forever beyond repair? Who is more to blame and will Erika be able to remain neutral with no battle scares or will she have to, soon, choose a side? Whose side would EJ choose? Almost every friendship has been fractured thanks to Heather Gay and a series of text messages on RHOSLC despite a reunion that attempted to mend some of these fences. Production prepares to announce the new cast of RHOSLC as filming is expected to begin later this month. Finally, last but not least, Spencer and Heidi face certain challenges as all is not as it seems in the hills, no pun intended, as Speidi tries to rebuild their lives more so in the public eye in the past month than they have been over the last decade combined. Psychic Robbin is here to break it all down and tell us what to expect in the next few months for all of our fav Bravolebs and Pop Culture Icons.

Gretchen's RHOC Return, Tamra's RHOC End & Jeff Lewis' Warning To Bravo Feb 02, 2025

Show notes

Gretchen Rossi is returning for The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19. First we deal with the controversy that is already surrounding her return - whether she was offered and turned down a full time roll as she allegedly claims or was she only offered a friend role as a “secret” production source claims. Next we share all of our thoughts in Gretchen’s return and warn her what she should beware of. Then we analyze whether Gretchen is being brought back as a pawn Alexis Bellino style or to once and for all take out the current longest running housewife Tamra “TamRat” Judge. We break down whether the audience really wants to see the demise of Miss Judge or whether they love to hate her a la Ramona The Singer Stinger. We discuss the rest of the cast’s current relationship to Gretchen, their like or dislike of Tamra and why RHOC Season 19 is set to be one of the best in Orange Country history. Finally, in other news, Jeff Lewis has a stern warning for Bravo, opens up about why Flipping Out was really cancelled way back when and shares an update on his new show which may or may not ever see the light of day.

What Mauricio Did To Hurt Kyle, Dorit Drops Bombshell's About PK Separation & Danielle Cabral's Last Laugh Feb 01, 2025

Show notes

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Season 14, Episode 9. Beachy Keen, but is it? Kyle lies. Thank you Boz for stating the obvious and Erika too for declaring that she, and we, are possibly over this text from Kyle to PK. Dorit questions who the fu$k she has been married to, reveals PK’s sponsor broke up with her and declares, if PK wants a war, a war he shall get. Kyle gathers Sutton, Garcelle and EJ for allies before heading to Garcelle’s beach house for the weekend, Sutton holds Kyle’s feet to the fire, Erika reminds us she is a girls girl and Kyle and Dorit make amends, sort of, for now. The RHOBH midseason trailer has exploded onto our screens with a bang - Mo apologizes to Kyle for hurting her, PK tries to divorce Dorit before 10 years to avoid splitting assets, Sutton gets kicked out of Dorit’s house for calling her a bit$h, Kathy walks the runway, Sutton’s Mom tells off Garcelle and so much more as we wait in anticipation for the second half of the season. In other news, Danielle Cabral kills it with the best internet video possibly ever taking down Jennifer Aydin, promoting a response from Margaret Josephs and leaving the resting of us begging for… more please!

Kyle Wants Off RHOBH, Crystal Kung’s Return, Dorinda’s Blue Stone Manor Show & Justin Baldoni’s Power Move Jan 29, 2025

Show notes

Kyle Richards declares she can no longer film RHOBH, hanging with her fellow diamond holders is like being in a cult and many more half truths as the cast reacts, the public weighs in and the drama heats up both on and off air this week in the 90210. Crystal Kung Minkoff makes moves to return to RHOBH, Lisa Rinna doubles down on life after RHOBH, Amelia Gray tells us to “eat her Pucci”, Garcelle grows closer to Dorit and Erika bows out of playing both sides. Dorinda Medley offers advice to Britney Spears’ ex, Dolores makes moves on The Traitors, Sandoval remains clueless and Ciara moves front and center as we break down this week’s Traitors. Speaking of Sandoval, him and Schwartzy grow apart, Kelly Bensimon emerges with a message. Brynn Whitfield doubles down and Jeff Lewis prepares to return to Bravo. Finally, Ryan Reynolds makes several - some say staged - public appearances in the wake of Blake Lively’s lawsuit against and by Justin Baldoni. Videos are released, he said/she said/they said, threats, power moves and the court of public opinion weighs in as things get more interesting, more Hollywood and uglier by the day.
