#97 Below Deck Mediterranean, Season 5: Reunion, Part 1 Oct 20, 2020

Show notes

We’re in the final stretch, kids! Part 1 of the Below Deck Med Reunion is in the bag (and so are Jen and Brianna). This episode was *mostly* amusing, with the exception of the compulsive liar, Capt. Sandy, who continues to PISS US OFF. (We know we’re not alone in this!) Jen even provides hard evidence to contradict Sandy’s statement that she didn’t judge Hannah for not working in yachting outside of filming…Um, hay-lo, you said that in a recent article in Vanity Fair, lady! Andy does ask some of the tough questions (and Hannah does a great job of not answering them, too). Lots of areas remain to discuss—so tune in next week for our hard-hitting analysis. In the meantime, wear your life jackets and feel free to leave us a voice message at https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message. We look forward to hearing from you.

#96 90 Day Fiancé The Other Way, Season 2, Ep. 16: The Consequences of Truth Oct 20, 2020

Show notes

It’s so hard to decide who’s the most irritating cast member on this episode: Ariela? Deavan? Cheese Dick? So. Many. Options. It’s definitely not Jihoon, who brings up the most important issue of all—Americans’ dirty anals. We agree that if we all had bidets, the world would be a cleaner, less-offensive place. This episode also begged the question—without botox, why don’t some of these women’s faces move (we’re looking at you, Deavan, Melyza, and Melyza’s mom!)? Even more important, do we have to move out of the country to save money on botox? Inquiring minds want to know. In other news, Ari and Bini have their baby, Armando and Kenny are the most beautiful couple in the history of the show, Devan and Jihoon don’t know how to wash a rug, Brittany and Yazan make no sense (duh), and Melyza gaslights Tim. Let us know what you think about the episode! Leave us a voice message at https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message or message us on Twitter or Instagram at @KikiandKibbitz!

#94 90 Day Fiancé The Other Way, Season 2, Ep. 15: Ready or Not Oct 15, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to episode 1 of Kiki and Kibbitz’ new 90 Day Fiancé The Other Way podcast, featuring Brianna and our newest co-host, Brad! It’s been six weeks, but we pick right up where we left off—with Brittany in Chicago. We knew she was a dummy, but we thought she might be smart enough to realize that you have to file for divorce to have one granted. Her mom has a lot more sense than she does, explaining that there’s something wrong when your man wants you to delete your social media profile. Granted, Mama’s taste in wine is questionable, but she’s still the smartest person on this episode. While fashion has never been a strong suit of this show, Ariela’s makeup makes us question whether she might hold stock in Wet n Wild. In India, Sumit is trying to prove he grew a pair since episode 14. While it’s hard to understand what they see in each other, we agree that he and Jenny do actually seem to be in love. In Mexico, Armando finally introduces Kenny to his family and unexpectedly blurts out the fact that they’re engaged. The reception is muted, at best. (Turns out that crickets sound the same in Spanish.) Like everyone else, we’re cheering hard for these two. During these crazy times, it’s nice to remember that real romance still exists in the world. If you love 90 Day TOW as much as we do, tweet us at @KikiandKibbitz and let us know what you thought about the episode!--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

#93 Below Deck Med, Season 5, Ep. 20: A Mighty Wind (Season Finale) Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

It’s been a long, rocky, seasickness-inducing ride, but the boat is finally in dry dock, people. It’s the season finale! This episode felt a lot like dejá vu. The same charter guests that have been on the yacht for the last three episodes are still on board and still bitching about how long the food is taking to come out. But Z must be punking us, because she leaves a huge tip—bringing the total for the season to a whopping $171,500! Not bad for six weeks of scrubbing latrines and kissing arse. The crew is overjoyed, even pretending to be happy when Capt. Sandy whips out the fake award certificates she made for them with the 1998 version of Microsoft Publisher. You *know* she’s full of crap when she compliments Malia for her sense of humor. Jess and Rob drag us through the cringey dying embers of their ill-fated relationship. At the bar, Rob is doing his best to make sure Jess sees him flirting with the guests who have “accidentally” found them there, sending her into an epic tailspin (again). Girl, move ON already. Despite lots of schmalzy music and insincere reflection, the crew finally leaves the boat and leaves us to move on to the reunion…and it looks like a juicy one!

#91 Below Deck Mediterranean, Season 5, Ep. 19: The Bali is in Your Court Oct 06, 2020

Show notes

It’s the penultimate episode of the show and Brianna and Jen are taking sides on Butt-Touch Gate and whether or not Rob is even worth the effort. Bafflement abounds when it comes to figuring out why Tom can’t understand what “No Pork or Beef” means...twice. We finally give in and admit that in the landscape of Below Deck, Bugsy is a pretty great chief stew. There are moments of analyzing Captain Sandy’s persistent hypocrisy, as well as some straight-up fan girling over Captain Lee and Kiko’s Watch What Happens Live episode. Don’t miss out! Only one more episode left before we get some real-time dish at the reunion.

#90 Real Housewives of New York City, Season 12: Reunion part 4, featuring Elyse Slaine! Oct 03, 2020

Show notes

Season 12 of the Real Housewives of New York may be over for Bravo, but not for Kiki and Kibbitz! Today, we feature Reunion part 4, starring none other than Elyse Slaine, cryptocurrency mogul and friend to the NY Housewives. In this candid interview, Elyse tells the story of the rise and fall of her relationship with the Singer Stinger (spoiler alert: she got stung). Hear what really happened behind the scenes with their relationship. Find out who else she has known for years, who she just met recently, and how she feels about them all. Far from a hate-fest, Elyse takes responsibility for her own actions and reflects on how it all skidded off the rails. It’s a don’t-miss episode!

#88 Below Deck Med, Season 5, Ep. 18: A Real Handful Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

On this week’s episode of Below Deck Med, we jump right in where last week’s left off—with the demon baby chef man throwing a big tantrum. While at one point, this might have made us mad, we’re so jaded at this point (is this the 100th episode of the season?), that we just see it as amusing karma for Malia, who’s scrambling to save his juvenile arse from himself. After Tom yells at Bugsy, Captain Sandy tells her off, too, for enabling the crazed Englishman. We felt so sorry for Bugs that we almost forgot why we didn’t like her before this season. But we were gleeful once again when the Captain put him on blast in front of the crew. She loses her composure and gets a little emotional. But serves her right—she’s lost control and they’re all going down with the ship. As befits almost every episode, the guests are horrific monsters who behave in ways that rabid dogs would find shockingly aggressive. Most monstrous of all might be Rob, however. The dude with the way-too-aggressive face is gaslighting Jessica by making her appear irrationally jealous. But is it irrational? Spoiler alert: NO.

#87 Real Housewives of New York City, Season 12, Reunion Part 3 Sep 26, 2020

Show notes

That’s a wrap for Season 12 of RHONY! Reunion Part 3 was Sonja’s time to shine. Though we know now that Century 21 folded, her digs at Ramona for fat-shaming her were epic. Andy is not above crawling on the ground for HW text receipts, but Dorinda and Ramona are at a stalemate in their friendship, and it’s hard to decide who’s worse. Luann gets a half-apology from Mrs. Medley (progress!), while freshman Leah is still *sniffing* out her loyalties with these ladies. Is this the final farewell for Dorinda, or a C U Next Season?

Season 12 isn't quite over for Kiki & Kibbitz, though! Join us next week for a very special RHONY guest--you'll never guess who, but it will be JUICY. See you then!

#86 Below Deck Mediterranean, Season 5, Ep. Ep 17: Something's Fishy Sep 22, 2020

Show notes

Brianna and Jen cover all of Tom’s antics, Rob and Jess’s moans and groans, and the overall disgust factor of underwear hanging over your dinner table — but not before they do a deep dive into the hot topic du jour: Sandy’s Cameo video. Brianna thinks it’s a fireable offense, but Jen (no stranger to tin-foil hat theories) thinks there’s something much more nefarious going on. Join them and see if Tom is the only one in need of a 5150 or if Jen should get an adjoining padded cell.

#85 Real Housewives of New York, Season 12, Reunion, part 2 Sep 19, 2020

Show notes

It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Part 2 of the Real Housewives of New York reunion picks right up where part 1 left off, without losing an iota of momentum. Too bad Tinsley’s boxing coach wasn’t there to defend her against the blond pit bull. Even sober, Dorinda deflects, deflects, deflects, and then goes for the jugular. Luann is the voice of reason, which makes us wonder if she’s been kidnapped and replaced by aliens. We relive the hilarious drunken cast trips, as well as the middle-aged cougars pouncing on every man they suspect has “jeans full of magic.” Ramona once again demonstrates that she does not understand how viruses are transmitted. She also denies having had a full facelift (but Jordan shares the behind-the-scenes story, as always!). We laughed, we cried, we got wasted. See you next week!
