#157 Real Housewives of New Jersey, Season 11, Ep. 2: Licked Up and Down Feb 28, 2021

Show notes

All the ladies except Jackie head to Lake George...and Teresa couldn’t be happier about it. While everyone acknowledges that Jackie’s comment about Gia was an analogy, they know that you don’t. Mention. Teresa’s. Kids. In the van on the way, Teresa admits that Evan in her type (so was the rumor about jealousy?). Jackie stays behind to buzz her sons’ hair and teach her kids that you don’t have to be friends with people who don’t treat you. (If only we’d all learned this earlier in life, right?) Frank and David go on a date. Melissa and Jennifer make up (we’ll see how long that lasts!). Teresa blames the tequila. DM us at @kikiandkibitz on Instagram and let us know what you thought about the episode!

#156 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 17: Reunion Feb 24, 2021

Show notes

It’s over, people! My Seanna has dropped anchor for the final time in Season 8. It was no Real Housewives reunion, no matter how badly Andy wanted it to be. Chess won’t take the bait and acts like she and Rachel had put their problems to rest after the first two charters (gurrl, we saw the video). Ashling is just as boring and conflict averse. Elizabeth is dressed like a skater and calls Chess a bully (deflect, much?). Eddie won’t call Shane stupid, but somehow lets us know how he feels anyway. Rachel looks amazing, but it can’t hide her crazy. Izzy looks radiant. She’s not sad that Rob didn’t show, and neither were we. James’ eyebrows look better than ours do, dammit! Somehow, they completely neglected any mention of the most poignant moments of the season, but we noticed (as did the entire Internet). In the end, nothing was lost, nothing was gained, but it was a fun ride. Stay tuned until the end for a big announcement. Suffice it to say, it’s the end of an era. Bon voyage!

#155 90 Day Fiancé, Season 8, Ep. 11: Three's a Party Feb 22, 2021

Show notes

Mary K. (@AngelasBraPurse) guest hosts on this episode. We talk sh*t about absolutely EVERYONE and weigh in on who’s a good couple, who’s likely to stay together (pretty much no one), and who’s a major asswipe (almost everyone). We love Julia, hate Brandon (who blames Julia for the pregnancy scare), celebrate Yara’s sarcastic humor, and agree that Natalie is probably a serial killer, even though *maybe* Mike’s behavior was more suspicious than we previously thought. Even though we vowed never to cover Stephanie and Ryan again, we HAD TO, because…OMG, did you SEE this episode? We agree that Rebecca and Zied truly love each other, but point out that love is not enough to make a marriage successful. Throuples don’t work — prove us wrong. Let Mary know how much you love her! DM her on IG or Twitter and/or Brianna at @NotThatBrianna (Twitter) or @KikiandKibbitz (Instagram). Feel better, Brad! See you next week!

#154 Real Housewives of New Jersey, Season 11, Ep. 1: C U Next Tuesday? Feb 18, 2021

Show notes

Where. Are. The. RECEIPTS? Tre's running around telling anyone who'll listen that Jackie's husband is cheating on her at gym. Will this be story of the season? Please tell me it is not, or I'll have to quit podcasting two episodes in. Either that, I or want to see the naked pics so I can verify for myself and count every freckle on his tight little butt (did I say that out loud?). Well, I can say anything I want, because it's my first solo podcast and there is no other co-host here to smack me on the nose and tell me to stop. Salient points: 1) Margaret and Jennifer suck, 2) I have fear-based alcoholism 3) I need Jackie's cute little ruffly pink dress 4) Is it time for bed yet? Lemme know what you think! DM me at @NotThatBrianna on Twitter or @KikiandKibbitz on IG.

#153 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 16: Premature Evacuation Feb 16, 2021

Show notes

Below Deckers, we hope you’re ready for all this. It’s the last episode of the season and we’re in our pajamas, drinking, and just being who we are. How else can we cope with the aborted season, the COVID flashbacks, and the intersection of reality TV and actual reality? This is some heavy shit. After Elizabeth’s departure, the crew goes to dinner and the poor girl’s cake arrives anyway. Rachel is irate that everyone seems to be dancing on her friend’s grave. Meanwhile — cake, people. Cake. The next day, after a failed throw-her-under-the-bus session with the Captain, Rachel decides to walk it off and try to work with Chess anyway. Ironic, because…there ain’t gonna be no more working this season. It’s over. So what else can you do, besides start drinking? No one knows what’s going to happen. Borders are closed. People are self-isolating. It’s sheer chaos. In the end, some fences are mended, other relationships remain unresolved (despite some inauthentic efforts), and someone gets a well-deserved promotion. It’s a wild ride…and the real-life ride still isn’t over. In the end, there’s not much more to say except, hopefully the reunion is a little more upbeat. Real life is hard enough. Right? If you want to see us in our silly pajamas, head over to the @KikiandKibbitz Instagram and have a drink with us. Cheers!

#152 90 Day Fiancé, Season 8, Ep. 10: The Devil's Work Feb 16, 2021

Show notes

If there are themes to these episodes of 90 Day Fiancé, this one would be either “Stranger in a Strange Land” or “The Bloom is Off the Rose,” at least where it comes to the two Ukrainian women and their men. Mike clearly HATES Natalie. And it sure seems like Yara hates Jovi, too. Or maybe we’re just projecting our own opinions here. Another theme is “cute kids on FaceTime.” We loved seeing Harrey and Auri connecting across the airwaves. Zied looked so happy to see his niece, too. Too bad Rebecca wasn't as happy after the young blond bombshell (who came from where? we still can't figure that out!) started talking to her man. We don't even address Stephanie, Ryan, the psychic, or the hula hoops, for reasons we explain. Girl, BYE.

#151 Below Deck, Jessica More Interview (yay!), plus Season 8, Ep. 15: Don't Cry for Me Antigua Feb 10, 2021

Show notes

There’s More to love on this episode! Below Deck Med 3rd stew Jessica More stops by to hang out, spill just a little bit of tea, and tell us about her real life off camera. And yeah—she’s just as beautiful and charming in person as she is on screen. Find out about what’s she’s up to now (hint—she’s a chief stew!), who she’s dating, and what’s she’ll be up to next. But don’t stop here! Go to the @kikiandkibbitz IG account and see the video interview. After that, we even get to a bit of this week’s Below Deck episode. Oh, but, who really cares when you’ve got Jess on the show? ENJOY!

#150 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1 Ep. 13: Season Finale Feb 05, 2021

Show notes

The season finale of RHOSLC is here! While Stacy and Jordan are sad to see it end, our Salt Lake City snow queens really bring it for their farewell week. Mary finally leaves her closet, and it’s pretty clear that she’s never led a choir before. The Beauty Lab opening is a triumph and a spectacle- blush and bashful clouds, Meredith’s (pre-Covid) face mask, Lisa’s scheming and Jen’s questionable apologies. America finally learned what a stanchion is (thanks Heather and Whitney!), but it’s obvious that Jen didn’t learn anything from the fights in Las Vegas.

#149 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 14: Hide the Salami Feb 03, 2021

Show notes

It’s Elizabeth’s 30th birthday and everyone (wait, make that no one) is celebrating. Her day starts with another lecture from Francesca, who’s so frustrated with her that she’s crying. The Queen of Versailles comes aboard, demanding pickled jalapeño quail eggs, while her low-maintenance husband eschews champagne to drink sweet tea out of a styrofoam cup. Later, the couple sympathizes with Captain Lee, since they, too, lost a child to a drug overdose (crushing!). Meanwhile, their kids — too young to drink in the U.S. — get trash fish (to use Jen’s word), making Ashling nervous. She lies about the hot tub being out of order to get them to bed as soon as possible. Will Liz get fired? Find out next week!

#148 90 Day Fiancé, Season 8, Ep. 9: The No Bang Theory Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

Brandon *kind of* confronts his parents, who practically self-destruct when they hear the news that he and Julia want to move out. His mom cries crocodile tears while his dad throws a fit because he doesn’t want to be strong-armed by his son’s fiancé. Finally, mom concedes that “maybe” she can compromise on the engaged couple sleeping in one room (how benevolent). Jovi thinks Yara is lying about being pregnant…but not so fast, party boy. He’s mystified how she got knocked up so fast (one hint, dude: you had sex without protection). Stephanie comes clean to Ryan about her tryst with cousin Harris, but it turns out he’d known for ages. Andrew is living it up in Mexico and thinks nothing of asking Amira to go quarantine in…SERBIA? Rebecca’s friend and former boss, Mel, grills Zied and makes Rebecca cry. Hazel and Tarik look for a brown girl who doesn’t have bad breath.
