#133 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 10: Steamy Vibes Jan 06, 2021

Show notes

We’re back from our holiday vacation and wow — what an episode to come back to! We’re lulled into a false sense of security with the vapid James and Elizabeth making out in the hot tub (yawn…they deserve each other). Izzy’s complaining of a head cold (or is it the ‘Rona?). Then here comes yet another gaggle of drunken charter guests, who consume the boat’s entire store of Moet et Chandon in the first few hours. You know, par for the Below Deck course. But just when you think it is (literally) safe to get back in the water, things take a turn to the port side in a way no one sees coming. Instead of passing out like a normal drunk person, charter guest Delores is suddenly swaying at the rail, asking for fish food, while the tux-bedecked Captain admonishes her not to jump into the water. Undeterred, she abandons ship in her party dress, prompting Lee to erupt in a series of curses. Once she’s safely back aboard, the furious captain announces their charter is over. Is it? We’ll just have to tune in next week to find out.

#132 90 Day Fiancé, Season 8, Ep. 5: Who’s the Boss? Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

Julia and Mike might be the only somewhat-normal people on this season. Julia is definitely TRYING, which is more than most rational people would do when faced with Brandon and his psycho parents. Although she’s (rightfully) terrified of the giant pigs (they’ll eat your babies), she negotiates with the hens and stays calm, even when Brandon’s mom humiliates them both for the hickey on her neck. Mike somehow retains his composure, too, even while Natalie tries to control his eating habits, his drinking habits, and anything else she decides she doesn’t like about him. So what if he thinks God’s an alien? Let the man eat his damn tomahawk steak. Yara and Jovi clearly deserve each other, although we felt bad for Yara after hearing about her miscarriage in Croatia. Stephanie’s cousins are reacting the way the rest of us are, re. Ryan — shaking their heads in disbelief. Rebecca moves into some kind of crazy warehouse, while poor Zied and his family tearfully say goodbye at the airport. Tarik tries to convince Hazel that French toast is breakfast food (Natalie didn’t buy it and neither does she) and wants them to get married in the spiritual center where Edward Cayce’s couch languishes behind velvet ropes. So. Much. Crazy. (Said in Zied’s accent.) Big thanks to Jen for filling in. See you next week!

#131-Bonus Episode with Camp Getaway alum Dr Monica O'Neal Jan 03, 2021

Show notes

Harvard trained psychologist and Camp Getaway cast member Dr. Monica O'Neal joins Jordan and Jen to discuss the hilarity and heinousness of Hilaria Baldwin's trans-nationality grift. (We see you, Hillary!) We also reflect on the RHOP reunion and Monica's experience of being turned into a negative archetype she couldn't even recognize.

#129 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1, Ep. 7 Fashion Faux Pas Dec 25, 2020

Show notes

The Brooks Marks fashion show is here! One tracksuit- ten models? The ladies dive into their personal issues with a level of honesty that's rare among Real Housewives. Jen nearly lost Coach Shah because of her anger issues (thank you anti-depressants), and Lisa won't slow down her career to focus on family (8-year old Henry is ready to have triplets). While Whitney struggles to keep her dad sober, Heather has a heart-to-heart with her daughters about divorce, love, and her self-worth in the Mormon church. Meredith is still vague about the status of her marriage, so Jen drops the bomb that M has a boyfriend in NYC. There's nothing that Prozac and a Hitachi Magic Wand can't fix here!

#127 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 8: No Way, Rosé Dec 22, 2020

Show notes

It’s our last podcast of 2020, so, bottoms up, kids! On this charter, the guests are a cross between the Lucky Charms leprechaun and Rainbow Brite, once again proving that money can’t buy you class. That said, they might not be as entitled as Elizabeth, who finds “work” an imposition on her aspirations towards enlightenment or James, who thinks “taking work seriously” is a sign of poor character. That is why they call it “work,” children. But who cares—here comes Rob, who’s not only hot, but a brainiac, to boot. He comes from a long line of pirates and hookers…who could ask for more than that? Maybe in 30 years he’ll attain Captain Lee status (as IF that’s possible). Happy New Year, everyone—may 2021 be a year where no one ever comes armed with only one bottle of rosé, where we can once again travel freely, and where pandemics are just a thing you read about in the history books. Cheers!

#126 90 Day Fiancé, Season 8, Ep. 3: Bless This Mess Dec 22, 2020

Show notes

The hilarity level stays high in this episode (we’re still so grateful The Other Way is over — so depressing!) with three beautiful Eastern European girls suffering intense culture shock. Julia is stunned that Brandon’s mommy wants to spend every waking minute with them and interrupt what could be a promising bang trip. Yara does not want to stay in the bayou with her swamp boyfriend and thinks his mom’s fricassée (which looks delicious) doesn’t have tasty flavors. Jovi demands to stay at mom’s overnight…probably because he wants to get drunk and not drive home. Natalie is terrified of how dark it is on the way to Squim and finds his house cold and dirty (and appears frightened of his cat). Hazel is also overwhelmed by Tariq’s big house, which he thinks is clean, but has half-eaten food in the kitchen and clutter everywhere she looks. This week we meet a new couple—Andrew and Amira. Amira is chic and French. Andrew wears funny hats and runs a daycare in Roseville, CA. This should be fun. We won’t be live next week, but will be airing an exclusive interview with Usman Sojaboy Umar! Happy holidaze!

#124 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1, Ep. 6: Sundance City Dec 18, 2020

Show notes

It‘s Sundance season in SLC and these ladies are busy! Lisa Barlow is in mogul mode coordinating a jillion events (self-appointed #QueenOfSundance), and Meredith is prepping for Park City Fashion Week (Park City has a fashion week?). Jen’s film premiere at the Shah Chalet brings us a Pump Rules crossover with Katie and Lauren from Utah- but the main event here is watching Heather get her groove back!

Mary NEVER fails to sketch us out- how do you not know your cousin/housekeeper of 20 years?? Also, how are Brooks‘ generic tracksuits considered fashion? How did we not see that Brooks is like nails on a chalkboard before this?

#123 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 7: Runaway Chef Dec 16, 2020

Show notes

Oh, yeah. She’s a bunny boiler. Chef Rachel has gone full psycho. We knew it was coming, but we had no idea how far it would go. We recap the episode, and then we spill all the inside tea (more to come later in the season, so stay tuned!). On this episode, Sunshine sinks down below the horizon and he finally gets that plane ticket home. Somehow, Elizabeth — who turns out to be an incessant complainer — survives. There are no participation medals in yachting, LIZ. A cautionary tale about alcohol, kids: some people (like us) just get silly when they drink. Others (like Elizabeth and James) get horny. Still others (like the bunny boiler) go full Mrs. Hyde and get straight up SCARY. Who said this season was boring? Side notes: 1) Brianna’s sound is a bit wonky, since her power went down and she had to record on her phone. 2) If you hear ice cubes clinking during the episode, that’s Jen, who’s on her second glass of rum (ask her how big a “glass” is—dare you). 3) And when you hear the ADORABLE accent and sexy voice, that’s our number-one fan, King Willie, who finally left us a voice message! Virtual hugs (with masks on), our friends. Stay safe, stay home, and please take care of each other.

#122 90 Day Fiancé, Season 8, Ep. 2: Shame on You Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

The foreign spouses are landing and we’re taking bets on who’s going to break up first. The episode title “Shame on You” can definitely apply to 80% of the couples. Shame on Brandon for not telling Julia about the separate rooms. Shame on mom and dad for being so bass-ackwards, too. The shame doesn’t stop there — Jovi and Yara obviously hate each other. He’s completely unconcerned about her needs, and she’s yelling because his taste in decor is “I don’t care” and because she doesn’t have enough hangers. (They’re doomed.) Rebecca runs around telling everyone who will listen about what bad judgment she has for importing an obvious axe murderer with no job history. Mike has forgotten what a total bitch Natalie is and kicks poor uncle/cousin Beau out with his great moto jackets. Meanwhile, Hazel can’t wait to get to the US because of all the hot chicks. Then again, she’s coming to be with Tariq, who’s literally cutting up cilantro with a sword (yes, really). So, maybe she should get out quickly. Stay home, stay safe, and stay well, everyone. See you back here next time!--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message
