VPR Season 10 Reunion Part 2 Recap: PUMP AND DUMP Jun 02, 2023

Special episode alert for two reasons! First and foremost, Melissa is home from the hospital and shares what happened and how she is doing now (much better, thankfully)! Secondly, it’s special because in lieu of a new story we decided to dedicate some time to Scandoval by recapping Part 2 of the VPR Season 10 reunion, and wow, just wow.

From pill bottle antics to Andy parenting James, Melissa and Rebekah provide their insights on the reunion and each cast member. Melissa catches two moments Rebekah missed that are truly weird, and Rebekah wants to capitalize on Raquel’s accountability blazer.

Melissa gave the following clues for next episode:

Alexia Echevarria: Welcome to Miami (Bienvenido a Miami) May 19, 2023

Today’s episode is on FYAH! At least Rebekah thinks so and she’s going to be really disappointed if you don’t agree. She’s heating things up in Miami and sharing the cinematic story of Alexia Echeverria – seriously, her life is a movie and she even stars as herself in the Netflix documentary, Cocaine Cowboys.

But you more likely know Alexia from The Real Housewives of Miami; the doomed franchise that was canceled after 3 seasons in 2014. In 2021 they rebooted on Peacock and the women are hotter than ever. Put on some neon swimwear and tune in to hear about Alexia’s drug cartel connection, and her many losses, loves, and lawsuits.

Stick around to the end of the episode where Melissa and Rebekah give a detailed account of their time together in New York City, including two near altercations!

Melissa gave the following clues for next episode:

VH1

FLORIDA

BROTHER

Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:

Melissa: Baby J, John Mulaney Comedy Special, Netflix

Rebekah: Jewish Matchmaking, Netflix

Nick Lachey: Too "Hot" To Cancel May 05, 2023

Nick Lachey hoped for a red hot career but as Melissa reveals in today's episode, it was only ever luke-warm at best.

As the frontman of the boy-band, 98 degrees, Nick longed for a solo career that would take him to the next level. Meanwhile his future wife, Jessica Simpson, was desperate to step out of Britney and Christna’s shadows. This would be a marriage made in heaven — or at least on MTV’s reality show, “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.”

Though Nick’s body temperature was normal, it seems there was a white hot rage that boiled beneath his frosted tip surface, and he directed it at unsuspecting people which got him into some legal and criminal trouble.

Tune in for some iconic reality show moments and to hear Melissa and Rebekah’s rating of boy bands from the 90’s and early 00’s.

Rebekah gave the following clues for next episode:

MANSION

MASERATI

Kelly Mi Li: Beyond the Bling Empire Apr 21, 2023

Is it too soon to look back on 2020 with fondness? Not for the hellscape we lived, but for the reality shows Netflix gave us? Love is Blind, My Unorthodox Life, Selling Sunset, and the subject of today’s episode: Bling Empire.

Rebekah asks us to go back to the moment we meet Kelly Mi Li and re-examine her story which includes two guys; the raging red power ranger and a scamming first husband. She also asks us to be honest and admit to buying ringtones in the early aughts - who knew such a nostalgic memory would be at the center of this story’s multi-million dollar scam?! Come for the sugar baby stories, stay to find out if Kelly will win in her lawsuit against your favorite streamer and mine; NETFLIX!

We watched a lot of over the top wealth on display in the show, but her first husband Lin Miao, was making his money under the radar and thought he was above the law.

Amy and Tammy Slaton: 1,000 Pound Sister Pact Apr 07, 2023

Melissa invites us to Dixon, Kentucky, where we meet Amy and Tammy Slaton, stars of the TLC show, 1000 Pound Sisters. Much like their weight loss journeys, this story is full of ups and downs.)

While issues with their weight caused them immense physical and emotional pain, there is nothing criminal about being overweight. It’s the choices they made when the money started rolling in that led to some big trouble including excessive “partying” (TLC euphemism!), and shoplifting. The supporting characters in the sisters' lives also inflicted pain and caused them to rely on each other even more.

Becoming Sister Wise- A Replay and Rehash Episode Jan 06, 2023

REPLAY AND A REHASH:

Rebekah started Sister Wives and this deserved a break in the regular schedule! Melissa and Rebekah hop on the mic to discuss the current state of the Sister Wives as well as Rebekah’s reaction to the kids, the homes, the wives, the LAYERS. Let us know if you are also on the journey as a Sister Wife virgin! The intro leads right into episode 5: BiGAMY LOVE which makes a whole lot more sense to Rebekah now, and is hopefully a welcome refresher for you all as well!

We are back next week with a NEW episode; Melissa’s clues below as well as the original show notes the episode when it previously aired in 2021.

TOM

YACHT

CONNECTICUT

Original Episode Show Notes:

Melissa takes us through the complicated and surprising facts around the Brown Family tree, and we soon discover there are more familial connections than just the four wives. From escaping state Bigamy laws, to coming clean about catfishing, Melissa leads us on a journey with twists, turns and too many meet cutes that were anything but cute. See our instagram for visual aids, trust us, they help.

Todd and Julie Chrisley Owe the Rest Dec 23, 2022

Happy Holidays from CRIMINALITY! We didn’t mean to, but I guess we are giving you a very CHRISLEY CHRISTMAS. Rebekah and Melissa reveal just how little she knew about the very boisterous, very blonde family that America got to know on the USA show, Chrisley Knows Best. We learn Todd is a fraud in every sense of the word and Julie is CRAFTY in more ways than one. Come for Todd’s decade long Ponzi scheme, and stay for his utterly petty and disgusting parenting style!

Melissa shared three clues for next episode’s story:

TOM,YACHT, CONNECTICUT (Rebekah is over the moon!)

Where Are They Now? Part 2 Dec 09, 2022

Welcome to our second update episode! Melissa and Rebekah take turns sharing news, gossip, and hot takes from episodes 31- 47. Some are legit newsworthy while others are firmly in the “no news is good news” camp. And despite none of the episodes being about a Kardashian, Kim manages to show up in many of the updates - we are considering a new tagline for the podcast: Six Degrees of Kim Kardashian.

So if you’ve been wondering what teen mom Kail is up to (maybe another pregnancy), or what Lisa Rinna’s biggest regret is (Yolanda), then don’t miss today’s episode.

Rebekah shared three clues for next episode’s story:

ATLANTA, NASHVILLE, SAVANNAH

Falcon or Fiction: The Story of the Balloon Boy- Replay Nov 25, 2022

Happy Thanksgiving week (or canned cranberry sauce to those who celebrate)! This week we are re-playing a Criminality favorite. It's part Macy's Day Parade, part #Balloonboytruther. The truth is out there.

Welcome to our 21st Episode - yay! Today we will set sail to Colorado where Melissa will share the incredible story of the Heene Family. Perhaps you remember them from Wife Swap? Me either. Perhaps BALLOON BOY jogs your memory? Yep. That’s right. Melissa makes a compelling case and comes down DEFINITIVELY on whether or not this was a publicity hoax. You have to listen and make up your own mind - Rebekah was on the edge of her seat complete with gasps along the ride. This episode also has super fun clips that are even more fun when you WATCH on YouTube!

For next episode, Rebekah shared 3 clues:

Lady Gaga: A Star is Torn Oct 28, 2022

There’s no poker face here: Rebekah is excited to share some of the legendary lawsuits and lore that have swirled around Lady Gaga for years. From her oft- forgotten 2008 appearance on MTV’s The Hills, to the recent accusations that she stole someone’s music, Lady Gaga has always been followed by stories and scandal, and of course, the paparazzi — or should we say, PAWparazzi after her precious pooches were stolen?!

For the next episode, Melissa gave us the following 3 clues:

WIGS, NURSE, SINGER

Tonya Hard(ing) Knock Life Oct 14, 2022

Cold as ice or cool as a cucumber? Melissa is taking us from the ice rink to the boxing ring as we revisit one of the biggest news stories of the 20th century.

Tonya Harding’s name is known to most of us, but the handful of guys around her who actually perpetrated a crime have long been forgotten. That’s why Tonya had to do the redemption reality tour we’ve come to expect when celebrities have a fall from grace. Did Tonya deserve the wrath she got? Was Nancy as perfect as she was portrayed? Are they both a little crazy for attempting to fly on ice with blades on their boots? Lace up and get ready for a gold medal worthy story of olympic proportions!

For the next episode, Rebekah gave us the following 3 clues:

Viva la Rants: Real Girlfriends in Paris Recap! Oct 07, 2022

Due to life circumstances and natural disasters, Rebekah and Melissa are shaking it up this week with a recap episode 6 of the new Bravo show, Real Girlfriends in Paris.

Melissa is skeptical of these young women and their perfect faces, and she isn’t charmed by the croissants they wear or eat. Rebekah, on the other hand, finds the girls' and their lives fascinating and dare we say, winsome? But both agree there could be a touch more darkness in the city of Lights — but they will keep watching if only for the cheese, frítes, and to see if any of the girls ever get a zit or even just mild bloating.

It’s back to regular programming NEXT WEEK, when Melissa will share an all new episode. As a reminder, she gave us the following 3 clues:

Jillian Michaels: The Biggest Lawsuits Sep 23, 2022

Rebekah played one game of pickleball and felt fit enough to tackle the tiny tornado that is Jillian Michaels. Best known for her unforgiving training style on the hit show, The Biggest Loser, Jillian championed eating well and working out as the road to health and fitness. So it was confusing when she launched a robust line of diet pills — it was also a class action lawsuit, because research showed the pills were potentially lethal.

Add in a home invasion, a Bravo feud, and a YouTube take down, and you’ve got one high-impact episode on your hands!

Jon and Kate + H8 Sep 09, 2022

Jon and Kate Gosselin have 99 problems but 8 of them are not their adorable kids. TLC show “Jon and Kate Plus 8” started out as a great way to support their family, but soon turned into a contemptuous struggle, a nasty divorce, complicated custody agreements, and allegations of cheating and stealing. Who is worse, Jon or Kate? It’s hard to say and probably depends on what year it is, but Jon’s Ed Hardy and DJ-ing years certainly don’t help his case. Listen now as Melissa focuses on the Jon half of this equation, to help make up your mind, then be sure to let us know what you think!

Are you ready for a whale of a tale? You might know him as Dorit’s husband, but Rebekah would like to introduce you to Paul Kemsley, International Man of tax evasion and gambling debts. Oh, he also loves soccer! PK went from a teenaged suit salesman to one of London’s top tycoons, now he is a house husband whom Rebekah and Melissa can’t agree on.

Scott Stapp: No Good CREED Goes Unpunished Aug 12, 2022

Melissa invites us — with arms wide open — to join her in Florida – the birthplace of the Grammy Award Winning rock band, CREED. Frontman Scott Stapp isn’t typical reality TV material, but trust, he made appearances on VHI’s Couples Therapy. Like any rock and roll band worth their salt, CREED excelled on stage (except for that one time the audience sued them), but they were falling apart behind the scenes. Stapp’s past trauma and current mental health struggles interfered with every facet of his life and point us back to a common thesis question here on CRIMINALITY: Is redemption even possible when it comes to douchebags?

TLC: Ain't 2 Proud 2 Declare Bankruptcy Jul 29, 2022

In today’s episode, Rebekah dives deep into the waterfalls of the #1 girl group in the world: TLC! But it wasn’t all Grammys and hit singles for this trio. Despite their global success, T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chili found themselves completely broke due to the greed of an industry that steals from new artists. Add to this a few reality shows, health issues, arson, and an unexpected tragedy, and you get one heartbreakingly crazy, sexy, cool, episode.

Mama June: Honey BOO HOO Jul 15, 2022

Who knew that a story that begins with an entertaining and adorable toddler — with a tiara, of course, would end up so dang dark? Melissa shares the family drama of Mama June, the mostly terrible men in her life, and her four daughters who deserved so much better. You likely know “Honey Boo Boo,” but you’ll know Mama June — in all her sizes and stages — inside and out by the end of the show. And let’s just say, to know her is not to love her.

Rebekah shared three clues for the next episode: TLC, Arson, Music!

When it comes to Bravo-lebrities, brands are essential and must be protected at all costs. But as today’s story shows, that cost can be more than most Bravo-lebrities can afford!

We’re talking CHEATER BRANDS in today’s episode and Rebekah shares not one, but three cases of Bravo stars getting into lawsuits over their precious brand babies. From RHONY to RHONJ, with a fun Summer House interlude, you will be given the facts of these alleged cheater brands. She asks Melissa to make rulings on each case and we want to hear from you too!

Wondery Presents: The Execution of Bonny Lee Bakley Jun 20, 2022

On May 4, 2001, Bonny Lee Bakley was found fatally shot in a car on a dark North Hollywood street. The prime suspect was her husband, famed actor Robert Blake. But Bonny, a longtime con artist, had plenty of enemies. She left behind a trail of men she’d scammed, and she had a volatile relationship with Christian Brando, the troubled son of movie star Marlon Brando. Not since the O.J. Simpson case had the eyes of the nation been so fixated on a homicide. The search for Bonny’s killer took detectives on an eleven-month odyssey across the country and through Hollywood's underbelly of hustlers, drug addicts, and would-be hitmen. It would be the most expensive murder investigation in LAPD history to date. This is the story of Robert and Bonny’s toxic relationship, her shocking murder, and his chaotic trial. Did actor Robert Blake kill his wife?

Who Wants to Marry a (Maybe) Multi-Millionaire (with a record)? Jun 17, 2022

When it comes to reality romance shows, The Bachelor, and its Executive Producer, Mike Fliess, are probably the pinnacle in terms of popularity and recognition.

Well, that is very much not the show Melissa tells us about today. The show at the center of today’s story was a one-hit wonder, though most would say it was a total miss.

“Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?” debuted in the year 2000, and the bachelor they selected had an alarming rap sheet that slid by preliminary background checks, an exaggerated IMDB profile, and was maybe very probably, NOT a multi-millionaire. Maybe that’s why he only appeared as a shadowy figure from off-stage? Guys, it’s weird! Did Rick Rockwell find a wife? Could a show like this exist in 2022? Listen to today’s episode and find out!

For the next episode, Rebekah shared 3 clues:

BRAVO, BRANDS, BOOZE!

INTRODUCING: Persona: The French Deception Jun 06, 2022

Introducing the true crime podcast Persona: The French Deception— the story of Gilbert Chikli, one of the greatest con artists of all time.

Ashton Kutcher: Two and a Half Lawsuits Jun 03, 2022

Before there was MTV’s Punk’d, there was MTV’s Harassment. Never heard of it? This problematic show got canceled before it aired and for good reason!

Rebekah and Melissa often recount stories that include reality shows we loved, we hated, we totally missed , or completely forgot about. But today’s story is unique: Rebekah centers on well-known star Ashton Kutcher, and not one but TWO reality shows he created that never saw the light of day, but did manage to get sucked into lawsuits.

Melissa shared three clues for the next episode: Marriage, Money, Mike (Fleiss)

All KAIL The Queen of Teen Mom May 20, 2022

Melissa takes us on a journey into the phenomenon that is TEEN MOM. While precisely nobody involved in her story is still a teen, there is still plenty of mama drama, and Melissa guides us through the best and worst of it — including the epic battle between Kail and Brianna which included expensive lawsuits, extravagant gag gifts, and copious amounts of coverage on the ladies’ Instagram Stories! Where did all of that stem from? An alleged haircut that turned into criminal charges and legal accusations.

Rebekah shared three clues for the next episode: 70’s, Shark, Ghost!

YOLANDA: No Good Hadid Goes Unpunished May 13, 2022

We are back in Beverly Hills once again! This time Rebekah shares the mysteries, marriages and medical records of Yolanda Hadid. Her life goes in many directions from lemon picking to horseback riding, but there is ONE direction we don’t think she saw coming.

From her first husband, Mohammed’s monstrous, not to mention illegal, real estate property in Belaire, to her marriage with David Foster - which we can’t help but feel was always out of tune, to her journey with Lyme disease, and finally, her road to recovery which led to a dramatic altercation with daughter Gigi’s boyfriend, Zayne Malik.

Melissa shared three clues for the next episode: DELAWARE, MTV, JAVI!

Wondery Presents: Blood Ties Season 3 – “Strange Days" May 10, 2022

Our family members are not always who we think. When Eleonore Richland exposed her father’s dark legacy, she vowed to clean up the family business – and hired her half-brother, Santino Reyes, to help her do it. But old habits die hard. In the shocking new third season, Eleonore reckons with what her father always taught her growing up: medicine is a bloody business. From Wondery, the makers of “The Shrink Next Door” and “Dr. Death,” Blood Ties stars Gillian Jacobs (Community, Love), Christian Navarro (13 Reasons Why), and Peter Stormare. Listen to all six episodes ad free on Wondery+ on May 9. Listen to Blood Ties - Strange Days: https://wondery.app.link/wplus/crim_bts3

Apollo Nida's In a Pickle Apr 22, 2022

Melissa is coming in HOT - Hotlanta, that is. It’s her debut Housewives episode, and it is just peachy. From Phaedra's impressive career to her “murky” pregnancy timeline, Melissa explores Phaedra’s success on and off the set of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. But today’s story centers on her previous husband and the father of a real-life angel, Apollo Nida.

While happily married and raising young kids, Apollo relied on Phaedra’s legal expertise when he asked her to bail him out of jail. But as he went on to scam and defraud people in shady business practices (a la Jen Shah - allegedly), Phaedra refused to continue helping him out, leaving Apollo in a pickle that was not nearly as fun as the one in her pregnancy photoshoot.

Rebekah shared three clues for the next episode: Music, Models, + Malibu!

Where Are they Now? 30 Episodes Update! Apr 08, 2022

Thirty episodes and one year later - it was the perfect time for Melissa and Rebekah to host a “Where are they now?” episode? Until it wasn’t. (insert Dateline narration here)

The ladies went episode by episode and updated one another on the latest news for each story. They revealed everything from show cancellations nobody saw coming (Farewell, Flip or Flop) to Hollywood connections, with an emphasis on the CON. (Looking at you, Rand!) Some episodes didn’t have anything new to discuss, but Rebekah and Melissa still managed to talk for nearly two hours.

The next day Melissa and Rebekah woke up to FIVE, count them FIVE updates, but it was too late. The recording was done. You will just have to take their word for it — and watch their social media where they will undoubtedly lament their bad timing publicly.

Melissa shared three clues for the next episode: Pregnancy, Peach, + Pickles!

PATRICIA + WHITNEY: Southern Harm Mar 25, 2022

Call your butler and ask them for a drink, because Rebekah is taking us down south today — right into Patricia Altschult’s stately home, where Whitney can be heard jamming on his gee-tar in the other wing. Try as she may, Rebekah was unable to find one charming thing about this show, but she did uncover a lesser-known legal feud between the show’s matriarch and her once friend, now nemesis, Cooper Ray. Rebekah vows not to discuss the more toxic storylines of the show, but don’t worry, Thomas and Kathryn’s mess seep right into this one because it’s practically unavoidable. Listen now, shower later!

There are no clues for the next episode, because Melissa and Rbeekha are working on a special “Where Are They Now” episode! Let’s look back at all the stories they’ve covered and see who has made the news (spoiler alert: most of them) and what’s changed - for better or for worse- since they covered the story.

FOFTY Shades of Rand Mar 11, 2022

Vanderpump Rules gave us LALA, but Melissa is giving us RAND. Randell Emmet, that is. Rand went from a young, ambitious film student to rolling with a star-studded entourage in Hollywood. He eventually had enough clout to win over Lala, but was less lucky in business than he was in love. He was known to use investors' money to pay off debts which got him in more than one lawsuit, and one very public feud with a man who refused to be short-changed. We are forever indebted to Fifty Cent for all that came after. Whatever you do, listen to this episode now, because on Monday it might be too late…

Rebekah shared three clues for the next episode: Palmetto, Friends, + Michael!

Tarek + Christina: FLIP FLOP or FLIM FLAM? Feb 25, 2022

Rebekah leads us into new territory today; a real estate territory! But first, Melissa and Rebekah have to talk all things LOVE IS BLIND Season 2 - and they do. If you want to avoid spoilers, skip ahead to around 22:30.

Back to real estate. Tarek and Christina are stars of the hit HGTV show, Flip or Flop, which Rebekah feels is about as fun as watching paint dry, which is also sometimes the show’s storyline. However, she’s telling their story because some of the more compelling plot points in their lives happened when the cameras weren’t rolling. From a “gun incident” that perplexed everyone, to a capital S “Scam” that the Feds had to shut down, these two haven't always enjoyed such great curb appeal. Rebekah and Melissa pause to connect the dots between Tarek and Christina's past and present romantic partners which might leave you seeing double.

Melissa is watching “Adults Adopting Adults” on A & E, but don’t try to find it as it was recently pulled off the air due the creepiness of the very guy Melissa talked about!

Rebekah is watching Tinder Swindler on Netflix which reminded her of good catfishing podcasts:Sweet Bobby and Do You Know Mordechai?

Shanna Moakler Rocks + Rolls Feb 11, 2022

Forget meeting the Barkers, it’s time to meet. Ms. Shanna Moekler, an accomplished performer and professional in her own right. From her early success in state and national pageants, to her time on TV + Film sets with the likes of Billy Idol, Mario Lopez, and Drew Barrymore, Shanna captivated those around her with her high energy, likable personality and of course, her undeniable beauty. She’s been romantically linked to Dennis Quaid, Oscar De La Hoya and Travis Barker, and while she has mostly stayed out of trouble, there was of course, some star-studded legal drama along the way. (Looking at you, Paris Hilton!) And because all our stories eventually lead back to a Kardashian, there’s some Travis Barker involvement to round out this rock star love story that went south.

Rebekah shared three clues for the next episode: Vanilla, Real Estate + Mountain Lions!

Tori Spelling: 9021 OH-NO Jan 14, 2022

Welcome to the 25th episode of CRIMINALITY - because loving reality (TV) isn’t a crime! Melissa shares the “stori” of a woman who has TV in her blood. Tori Spelling grew up in a life of luxury due to the successful shows her Dad, Aaron Spelling, created. But she went on to have a “Rags to Riches in Reverse” kind of story. From a measly inheritance to back taxes, and a couple pricey lawsuits, Tori Spelling was “inn” over her head financially. Today’s episode has a lot of nostalgic tv memories and a video clip you will never unsee!

For the next episode, Rebekah shared 3 clues:

TV ROYALTY, CULT, YUGOSLAVIA!

PAWN STARS: Guns, Gold + Vegas Nov 05, 2021

What happens in this episode, STAYS in the episode. Nah, go ahead and tell everyone, actually. Once you hear some of the details that Rebekah shares about the Pawn Stars guys (which include about two too many Rick’s), you won’t be able to keep it to yourself. Melissa was surprised to learn just HOW successful a show Pawn Stars is, and shocked at where the police found some of the most incriminating evidence at Chum Lee’s house.

Melissa shared 3 clues to the next episode:COLORADO, FAKE, FAMILY!

Married at First Fight: Taylor + Brandon Oct 22, 2021

This week, Melissa has a “love story” for us! She delves deep into the history of “Married at First Sight’ including the difficulties new couple Taylor and Brandon had ultimately leading to mutual restraining orders! She also shocks Rebekah with cringe-worthy audio from the wedding of Jamie and Doug, who are one of about a dozen MAFS “success stories.” Together they ponder the motives, meaning, and occasional misdemeanors at the heart of this iconic show.

Rebekah shared 3 clues to the next episode: VEGAS, GOLD, GUNS!

Tareq + Michaele Salahi: Don't Start Believin' (Anything They Say) Oct 08, 2021

Rebekah leads us to the United States capitol city, Washington DC, where we reminisce about the only Housewives franchise to have just one season. More importantly, she shares one possible reason: The Salahis. Gate Crashers. DC Grifters. State Dinner Scammers. Call them what you want, this couple dominated the news cycle for a brief moment in 2009/2010, but Rebekah will reveal how their journey didn’t end after their hearing before the Secret Service Committee did.

Melissa shared 3 clues to the next episode: SURPRISE, DR. PEPPER, BAR.

David Spade: Just (Don't) Shoot Me Sep 24, 2021

Melissa takes us somewhere she always wants to go: behind the scenes of SNL. We meet Joe Dirt aka David Spade (or Dana Carvey if you’re Rebekah), to learn about his wild upbringing

(guns and deserts), incredible career, and harrowing run-in with a violent assistant that we think more people should know about. And if you want to know theREALITY of it, David Spade is one of the new hosts adding some much needed life into “Bachelor in Paradise.”

For TV sharing time, Rebekah gave a lukewarm mention to a new show on Acorn TV, “Finding Alice,” and says she is unsure if it will get better or if she will continue. Stay tuned. Melissa is comfort re-watching VEEP because life is hard and it’s sometimes good to go with what you know.

Rebekah shared 3 clues to the next episode: JOURNEY, PAY PER VIEW, OASIS. Any ideas?

Rachel Uchitel Spills the TEE Sep 10, 2021

In today’s episode, Rebekah paints a more accurate picture of Rachel Uchitel - love her or hate her, there’s a lot to her story that the tabloids missed. Yes, she is the one who was in an extramarital relationship with golf legend, Tiger Woods, but she’s also the one who tragically lost her father to drugs, lost her fiance to the World Trade Center attacks, and who can’t seem to repair her tarnished image. From Celebrity Rehab to a little-known RHONY + RHOBH connection, this story is hardly PAR for the COURSE.

Melissa and Rebekah double up on what they’re watching once again, and then Melissa really unleashes her feelings on a show you should definitely absolutely not watch under any circumstances. What show could inspire such a word of warning?

Melissa shared 3 clues to the next episode: SNL, ASSISTANT, and MULLET! Color us excited!

Sean Stewart: Son of Follywood Aug 27, 2021

Melissa leads us down the Hollywood walk of fame in this episode, except the story’s leading man isn’t as famous as his rock legend father, and that’s kind of the problem. Sean Stewart, son of Rod, has a serious anger management problem that landed him in rehab and more than a few physical altercations. In typical rich kid fashion, he evaded jail and instead launched bogus businesses and starred in D list reality shows. It really seems like some guys have all the luck.

Rebekah gave Melissa the following clues for her next story: golf, NYC, and NDA. Any guesses?

Charles + Diana Ingram: Who Coughs to be a Millionaire? Aug 13, 2021

Join us as we charter new territory - game shows and the UK! Rebekah shares the biggest scandal in game show history that all began with a cough heard ‘round the world! From our 2021 perspective, that alone would be criminal, but was there more to it? A conspiracy to steal the grand prize? From Who Wants to Be a Millionaire to Wife Swap, and a whole lot in between, Rebekah breaks down the story allowing you to answer the ultimate question of their guilt or innocence, but sorry, you cannot phone a friend.

For the second time in CRIMINALITY history, Melissa and Rebekah are watching (and loving!) the same show! HBO Max’s (duh) White Lotus. Who else has been swept away to this doomed destination?

Melissa provides the following clues for the next episode: Adrienne, Audrina, Maggie Mae. Any guesses?

Ryan Lochte: Between a Lochte and a Hard Place Jul 30, 2021

Have you caught the Olympic fever yet? Melissa presents a medal-worthy story in keeping with the global games, and it’s full of wins, losses, and...lies! Travel back in time with us to 2016 when US Olympic swimmer, Ryan Lochte, was desperately trying to emerge from Michael Phelp’s shadow. He was close to getting gold in Rio De Janeiro but ended up being remembered for a lot more than his near victory. Ryan sets out to redeem himself the best way he knows how… reality TV appearances, of course! Grab your country’s flag and get ready to cheer “JEAH” for this story that truly has it all: games, guns, and grills!

What are we watching? Rebekah gives a very lukewarm review of Netflix’s three-part series, SOPHIE: Murder in West Cork. It’s really beautiful, though, so there’s that. Melissa doesn’t need to convince Rebekah to give her latest HBO Max ( will they just sponsor us already?) show a try; The Other Two, a comedy centered around siblings who are dealing with the youngest of the three becoming YouTube famous. Lots of good actors and cameos!

Rebekah provides the following clues for the next episode: UK, Wife Swap, and fraud! Any guesses?

SURPRISE! We have a bonus episode for you! Remember those DM’s with Elizabeth Vargas that Rebekah mentioned? Well, they evolved into a call which is now an episode! As a follow-up to last week’s episode; (ELIZABETH VARGAS: Orange You Grateful for the OC?), we are bringing you a one on one interview with Rebekah and Elizabeth herself.

We are THRILLED to bring you this conversation with Elizabeth who was gracious enough to add some context and color to stories about her grandmother, Dorothy Mae Bell, and we also get to hear insight on how the season went, her status with the ladies, and what she is up to now. (hint: lots!)

Elizabeth Vargas: Orange You Grateful for the OC? Jul 16, 2021

It was just a matter of time until Rebekah covered a cult. But before she leads (not in a culty way) Melissa to Arizona and Missouri, she takes a minute to appreciate the splendor and entertainment mecca, Orange County, California. Rebekah then tackles the confession Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, of RHOC, made to Braunwyn last season. She didn’t give a lot of details, but Rebekah was determined to uncover everything she could - and what she found includes wild stories about Elizabeth’s grandmother, Dorothy Mae Bell, and her leadership of two fringe family cults and crimes including concealment of a dead body, and kidnapping charges. This is an episode of Criminality unlike the others.

What are we watching? Melissa pleads for a second chance to sell us on “Better off Ted” and is currently enjoying the sketch comedy show, “I Think You Should Leave.” Rebekah is enjoying the delightful Netflix teen dramedy, “ Never Have I Ever” and believes it is the perfect antidote to ELITE.

Melissa stumps Rebekah (as per usual) with these three clues for the next episode: Big Brother, Brazil, and Butterfly!

Bret Michaels: Rock of Stages Jul 02, 2021

Bret Michaels is the bandana-wearing star of today’s story, which Melissa leads like a rock star. Bret had more luck on the charts than he did in the courts, first after his debaucherous behavior on Rock of Love, and then when he sued the Tony Awards for their failure to keep him safe on stage after his live performance. I guess it’s true that every cowboy (and rock star) sings a sad, sad song.

Rebekah reveals the show she is watching is about kids but NSFW, and Melissa shares the show she is watching in a way that no one will ever understand. Including her. Then Rebekah shares her three clues for the next episode: FBI, MISSOURI, DIVORCE. (What?!?)

Rebekah is leaving the Bravo Universe for a quick tour of Bachelor Nation. Today’s story centers around Chris Soules- aka Prince Farming - and the accident he caused that took a man’s life. Chris’s legal team stalled the criminal proceedings, but eventually, he had his day in court. But is there more to Chris’s story? Rebekah says yes, and it started long before the first rose ceremony.

Also, Melissa and Rebekah get into some fun pop culture conversations and as always, discuss what they’re watching!

Melissa shared 3 clues to the next episode: ROSE, BANDANA, THE APPRENTICE.

Rebekah is at it again with another robbery/heist story.

Turns out there is much more to the story than brown Bebe shoes, and Nancy Jo isn’t the only one who can report on it!

Melissa is up next and gives Rebekah these three clues: Nutcracker, Nationals, and Sia! Any guesses?

The Not So Simple Life of Nicole Richie May 07, 2021

Melissa educates us on the life of Nicole Richie, which is less simple and more complicated than we knew! Learn how she went from a tambourine playing toddler to the daughter of a music legend, and all the good, bad and ugly that comes along with coming of age in Hollywood. Though most would agree she was essential to the “Simple Life” success, she wasn’t top of that casting list, but Nicole didn’t let her run-ins with the law or canceled tv show, foil her plans to stay in the public eye. She went on to become an author, designer, and actress, not to mention a mother and the wife a rock star. This is a fun-filled episode wherein we also learn EVERYTHING goes back to Kyle Richards.

Rebekah will be sharing the next story; her clues? Sisters, One Season, Orlando Bloom. Any guesses?

Kim Kardashian: I Love Paris in the Ring-time Feb 26, 2021

Rebekah sets the scene for Paris Fashion Week, 2016. She lays out the lesser known details surrounding the jewelry theft and attack in which Kim Kardahsian was a victim. Police say it was the largest heist Paris has seen in decades, so why do we know so little? Where was her bodyguard? How did these men get in? Was the nightwatchman involved? It was hard, but we did our best to Keep Up With The Kardashian’s in this French Kaper.

Melissa is up next episode and offers these three clues as to what her story is about: a will, Howard Stern, and Hard Rock Live. Color me intrigued! Any guesses? Let us know on social media!
