VANDERPUMP RULES (The OGs' End, New Cast Reboot, The Valley’s Future, Winners/Losers & What Happens Now…) II Nov 28, 2024

Show notes

Just raise your glasses high. This one's for you tonight. All good things must come to an end and, now, that includes Vanderpump Rules. First we react to the announcement that the OG cast of VPR will not be back and that Season 12 will include an entirely new cast except for Lisa Vanderpump. After we react and share our reactions, we break down just how we got here, explain the real reasons for the termination of the OG cast, explain whether this is, or is not, a shock and discuss why this was the only inevitable, viable option to move the show forward. We chat the winners and losers from this new normal, Schwartzy, Lala, Scheana and Brock’s upcoming stint on the Valley Season Two, how Jax, Stassi and Doute must feel and last, but certainly not least, what happens now to our beloved OG cast, one by one, as we all try to all move forward. These were the best days of our lives. Part II starts now!

MELISSA’S OLD NOSE (on Dorit’s Replacement For Kyle, Teresa’s Second Chair WWHL Appearance & Tre & Louie’s Fake Foreclosure) Nov 26, 2024

Show notes

Melissa’s Old Nose is back to continue our recap and break down of Episode One, Season 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, or, should we say, the season of Dorit. We cover it all and prepare for a season long show down that we did not know we needed but are so here for, Dorit vs. Kyle. Gabriela helps us make sense of it all - the good, the bad, the other. While we have her, Gabriela chats Teresa’s recent WWHL appearance - second chair (?), Jackie Goldschenider and Teresa’s recent chat, all the online rumors and nastiness surrounding Teresa and Louie’s supposed foreclosure, Teresa’s old, current, and future feud with Tamra Judge and oh, so much more. In typical Gabriela - Melissa’s Old Nose - fashion - nothing is off limits or held back. Part II starts now.

MELISSA’S OLD NOSE (on RHOBH Premiere, Dorit’s Iconic Era, Kyle’s Manipulation, Erika’s Loyalty & Kathy’s Mic Drop) Nov 25, 2024

Show notes

Melissa’s Old Nose is back and so is RHOBH!!! Today Gabriela helps us recap and break down Episode One, Season 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, or, should we say, the season of Dorit. After much hype and on line chatter about Dorit coming in hot, she did not disappoint. Jennifer Tilly and Bosom Saint John make their much anticipated debuts, Kyle is hurt and refuses to mention Morgan’s name, Garcelle fishes for a storyline, Sutton gets surreal, Kathy steals the show, Erika plays middleman and oh so much more. Melissa’s Old Nose helps us make sense of it all - the good, the bad, the other. While we have her, Gabriela chats Teresa’s recent WWHL appearance - second chair (?), Jackie Goldschenider and Teresa’s recent chat, all the online rumors and nastiness surrounding Teresa and Louie’s supposed foreclosure, Teresa’s old, current, and future feud with Tamra Judge and oh, so much more. In typical Gabriela - Melissa’s Old Nose - fashion - nothing is off limits or held back.

TAMRA JUDGE (on Shannon, Vicki, “Jesus Jugs”, Kelly Dodd, Emily, Gina, RHOC & Her Opinion) II Nov 24, 2024

Show notes

Tamra Judge steps back Behind The Rope. The one and only. Raw and unfiltered, after over a decade as a full time cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange Country, Tamra is here to look back, reflect upon the highs, the lows and everything in between. We cover it all. Tamra shares her feelings on co-stars past and present - Shannon Beador, Vicki Gunvalson, Alexis “Jesus Jugs” Bellino, Miss Fancy Pants Heather Dubrow, Meghan King, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson and yes, last but certainly not least, Kelly Dodd. With this stellar season of RHOC finished and done with one bombshell of a reunion, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only one Tamra Judge. Amidst all the hate she has received this season, let us look back at Tamra’s epic run on RHOC. Part II starts now.

Shannon Beador Wins RHOC Reunion, Where RHONY Reboot Went Wrong & What Teresa/Melissa Can Learn From Karen/Gizelle Nov 23, 2024

Show notes

The RHOC cast has, collectively, won this stellar return to form Season 18 of the OG city of all the franchises. Shannon put Alexis in her place, Pedranti showed no fear, Katie brought the humor, not her cat, and clapped back any Durbow, Johnny J was present even though he wasn’t, Emily represented as the greek chorus and we, the audience, got a glimpse into the future of the show. We break down the future of each Orange Holder - some good news, some bad, and when we can expect to hear about Season 19 casting. In other news, RHONY has hit an all time new low with cast members begging the audience to “stick with them” after a prank gone awfully wrong. We break down just where the RHONY Reboot went awry, the original casts’ reaction and whether this franchise can come back from the life support that it is on. Finally, we chat some RHOP - this past week’s episode, how this franchise is better than it has been in years, the much different treatment of Miss Huger’s DUI from Shannon’s and much more.

Kyle’s Good/Bad News, Dorit’s Villain Era, Emily and Gina’s Victory & RHOC Season 19 Nov 21, 2024

Show notes

With RHOBH back in our lives, our fav Diamond Holders have been doing a lot of talking and we are here to break it all down. Kyle Richards shares updates on her own “sexuality” journey, Morgan Wade, friendship with Dorit and Sutton and much more. Tamra Judge has a new plan to revise her bad behavior and reform her evil ways as RHOC comes to a close and heads into Season 19. Filming announcement expected any week now. Vicki Gunvalson demands Tamra be terminated, clarifies what she calls “false statements” from Tamra regarding Caroline and Brandi in Morocco and seems to have a lot to say about many of her ex RHOC colleagues now that she is, most likely, never going to return to the show again. Caroline Manzo’s lawsuit against Bravo moves forward, Dorit owns her villain era, Jennifer Pedranti finds her voice, Emily and Gina emerge victorious and so much more in this ever changing BravoVerse we call Real Housewives.
