50. Celebrating 50 Episodes; Friendship Fallouts; More Scandoval Rumors; Apr 26, 2023

Show notes

This is our 50th episode of Cocktails and Gossip! A huge thank you to our listeners and community. As a thank you, we have an announcement to make about the future of the podcast…We discuss a few friendship fallouts. Which housewife in Miami is threatening not to film with another? RHONJ breaks the "kids are off limits" rule…and another week, another few VPR #Scandoval updates for you…

49. Scramdoval; Bravolebrity Renaissance; Bravocon Confirmation Apr 19, 2023

Show notes

Bravocon is viva-ing Las Vegas, but Cocktailers have known this. Maybe the Toms need a little break from the media, because now Sandoval's podcast appearance was a bigger dumpster fier than Schwartz's. Let us count the ways that Sandoval is a master gaslighter. And Scandoval is causing a Bravolebrity renaissance of sorts. Summer House couple tea. Finally a more lighthearted Real Housewives of New Jersey episode. Send us your Bravo limericks…

48. Shwartz WWHL Dumpster Fire; More VPR Cheating? Psychics; RHONJ; HubbHouseWife? Apr 12, 2023

Show notes

Tom Schwartz' dumpster fire of a WWHL appearance: From the weight cuffs he wore, to the admission that he knew about the affair since last August, to the plea to all of us to give Sandoval a hug. Wow, just wow. B and Amanda get into a conversation about what Tom Schwartz should have done - should he have told someone? When? How? And is he smarter than he plays on tv? There's a new lawsuit that alleges more cheating involving people we've seen on VPR and RHOBH. And we're hearing there's a new reality show brewing involving people from lots of different reality tv shows. We dissect a couple of the most memorable moments from this week's Real Housewives of New Jersey. And does Bravo use social media as a focus group? We think so - and we talk about this week's Bravo article about Lindsay Hubbard wanting to be a Housewife as the perfect example.

47. Juan's Shady Mani; Our thoughts on RHUGT Thailand so far; Who almost fought at the VPR reunion? Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

First it was laundry, now it's nails; we broke a picture of Juan out with the same woman again. Another RHOA divorce - this time from Eva Marcille, and with an interesting twist. We have opinions on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Thailand. PMDD is no excuse for being an a-hole. Whitney is growing on B but Heather is losing both of our respect. Porsha is reminding us why we loved her to start with. In RHOBH news, Brandi is messy as usual, and lots of housewives are making cameos on the show. What we're hearing about the drama (or lack of it) this season. A fight almost got physical at the Vanderpump Rules reunion and we have the tea on who it was… And we wrap with a little tidbit about who Tom Schwartz fell for on Winter House.

46. Scary Island, Rachelle/Raquel's PR angle, Why Jen and Bill's therapy session is so relatable Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

Rumor has it the RHON legacy ladies returning to Scary Island? Why this makes sense to us, and who we're hearing is coming. Who's going to Vegas in November? We're not sick of Scandoval yet - and here's why. Inside info about how Rachelle's working a PR angle; and is any amount of mean girl behavior permissible now that we know what we know, or is there a line? We see through the "Katie won't sell back her hotel room" storyline. And on to Real Housewives of New Jersey - props to Jen Aydin and Bill for putting themselves out there with their therapy sessions. Why we think their conflict is relatable… And, we've got a "glass houses" situation with Jackie and Danielle - it's just not making sense to us.

45. Southern Charm ice out? Scandoval: What no one else is talking about; Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

Is Taylor from Southern Charm getting iced out? The Scandoval restraining order - no way Bravo is going to let that stop us Bravo fans from getting the reckoning we all deserve. We have a theory about production that no one is talking about…Bravo is putting the fruit in the refrigerator until summer. We've got the OC tea. Summer House - where does Lindsay go from here?

44. Guest Kate Casey's got a completely different perspective - and we agree with her Mar 15, 2023

Show notes

We loved doing this episode with Kate Casey, host of the podcast, Reality Life with Kate Casey. We got her unique takes and perspectives on #Scandoval, Real Housewives of New Jersey, and Summer House. We dig deep - is there a redemption arc for Tom and/or Raquel? Where does Kate think the real drama may be happening on Real Housewives of New Jersey? We predict next steps for some of our favorite Summer House reality stars, Lindsay and Kyle.

43. Surprise Love Triangle; We're On Display; A Pile of Embarrassing Househusbands Mar 08, 2023

Show notes

NOTE: This podcast was recorded before the Scandoval happened. If you want to hear our take on Scandoval, we recorded two emergency podcasts on that Friday night. They're available to Cocktail Party members, and you can join by going to bravoandcocktails.com/join *

We're coming in hot - off joining Melissa Gorga on her On Display podcast. She was a class act and we clear up the mystery about whether or not we are on Melissa's payroll. Danielle and Lindsay's feud is heating up - is the door going to close forever on their friendship? Cocktailers knew ages ago about the love triangle between Danielle, Gabby and the mystery man … We go on a bit of a tangent on what New York metrosexual really means. We've got a pile of embarrassing househusbands to roast this week. We've got the Winter House cast - and theories about who's going to hit it off…and who won't. Adriana vs Alexia - do we feel sorry for Adriana? And where did this Raquelle who tells Katie that she wanted to make out with her ex-husband even come from?

42. What's a B*tch Eating Crackers? Teresa's Kids have Entered the Chat; Perspectives on the Summer House Kyle and Carl feud; Beckham Wedding Scandal Mar 01, 2023

Show notes

B*tch Eating Crackers - an Urban Dictionary term that we learned and we're running with it this week. Summer House - we have different (but not opposite) takes on the Kyle and Carl situation. Details from the Brooklyn Beckham and Nicole Peltz wedding are coming out – and the tea we got on the site last year is making a lot more sense. Real Housewives of New Jersey is keeping our interest. The Teresa/Louie/Melissa/Joe battle is brewing - and Teresa's kids have now entered the chat. And, the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion had some very interesting moments. We have some insight on what Mia was trying to explain - as well as some tea on what Gizelle was trying to hint at during the reunion.

41. Couple House, we mean Summer House, Bunk Edition; A RHONJ Setup is Brewing; VPR, and a mini-dive on the recent news on Erika Jayne Feb 22, 2023

Show notes

The Summer House premiere is here, and we ask an important question: How are people going to bone and bring home randos with this bunking arrangement? Could Steve Harvey be involved in Summer House drama? We love a Kyle drunk in the kitchen eating by himself moment. Real Housewives of New Jersey - we see the setup coming. Are mozzarella parties a thing? Can we make them a thing? Teresa and Luis on WWHL . VPR plus a never been seen scene of LVP fixing a toilet that you must all watch. And we wrap on a mini dive on the recent LA Times and LA Magazine articles about Erika Jayne, Tom Girardi and the design team of Erika's catsuits. They're both worth a read, check them out.
