Cocktails and Gossip – Details, episodes & analysis

We send our love to Jamaica and other islands in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. We shared links in the newsletter with some resources on how we can all help. Some tea we shared back in August in our Cocktail Party subscription content has come back to light. We're hearing that Danielle from Summer House has been seen filming a reality show...and we have a feeling we know why. You'll hear the exclusive post on the pod. We are very disappointed in Giselle's behavior on RHOP. Making everyone else personalized robes and bags and handwritten cards, but not Stacy? That's not shady. That's just plain mean. And don't get us started on the gang up on Angel about editing her pictures when every single one of those women have edited photos as well. Once again, mean, not shady. We break down the RHOSLC/Below Deck crossover episode ... and there are a few things that went unsaid that we're still talking about. And last but not least, an ICON is slated to film with the Next Gen NYC cast and we are pumped.

This week, we have Kate Casey from Reality Life with Kate Casey on the show. Her takes are always sharp and insightful and she's got the goods when it comes to the "what should I watch next?" question. Why does Wendy Osefo want to be tried separately from Eddie? Kate convinces us both to watch the latest season of The Chrisleys and we think you'll be convinced, too. Want to know who's teaming up against whom on the next season of RHOBH? Kate's got another show for us. And last, we now know why none of us can be in the CIA.

Lots happening in our little gossipy neck of the woods this week! First and most important, B is getting Glamour Shots done while on vacation, lol. We have confirmation on next season's cast of the Valley. B got an email with some pretty explosive tea about a Summer House cheating scandal. And we have some clarification on the OG roles on season 20 of RHOC as well as what we're hearing about a potential newbie to the cast. Jesse McBee has serious second thoughts about getting married...you'll hear our thoughts on what we would do in that situation. B got more RHONJ tea and which OGs are reportedly test filming. Plus. a source gave us some very interesting intel on a possible new travel show featuring some of the men of Southern Charm.

We are so excited to have Lauren from @BigBlondeHair on Instagram here this week! She's got hot takes on our favorite Bravoleb fashion coming in hot off of Bravocon. Things are messy in the OC - and it seems that Alexis is really reaching for that orange...perhaps by dating the new Slade Smiley of Orange County. We have gotten a couple emails this week hinting that one of our all-time favorite Housewives may be coming back to Bravo. Does the Bethenny Clause (the rumored clause that goes into Bravoleb contracts saying that Bravo gets a percentage of revenue from the businesses that Bravolebs promote onscreen) have an affect on who stays and who goes when it comes to casting decisions? Carl and Lindsay from Summer House were originally scheduled to get married last weekend - before Carl called it off, of course. Who went to Mexico anyway? And B and Amanda have a rare "hard disagree" situation regarding whether Sharon, Carl's mom should have gone - see where each of them falls on the discussion.

We are so happy to welcome our guest, Ally from @bravo_after_thoughts_ this week! She's back from Bravocon and is ready to debrief on all of the fun and to spill some eyewitness tea. We get Ally's thoughts on Kyle and Mauricio, PK and Dorit, and why she thinks Sutton was a great casting decision on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Miami continues to be FYAH and did Larsa commit a HIPAA violation? We have a little theory about Alexia and Todd's relationship. Ally's got thoughts on the Juan Dixon of it all and we speculate on the power dynamic in his relationship with Robyn. Could this be Southern Charm's best season yet? Besides the Taylor/Shep/Olivia/Austen love quadrangle, B's got some opinions about Taylor and we want to hear from you - do you agree? Happy Thanksgiving to the Cocktailers!

Sooooo much Bravocon to discuss, we can't even get through it all. What's the plan for the next Bravocon? Who was seen cozying up? Who was seen laughing together? What beef got started or ended there? Who do we think should have a threesome? And a tangent about microdosing and macrodosing…

This week our cup is overflowing with Bravo content to discuss. And it's Bravocon weekend! Who ran smack into each other at the airport although they took great effort to take different flights? Real Housewives of Miami premiered and it was on fire just like their theme song. Alexia is on her apology tour, and we discuss what might be causing her sudden change in behavior. And it looks like Todd might have some more apologizing to do - but this time, to his own wife. We have some exclusive tea about the behind the scenes causes of an on-camera RHOM fight. We both read the Vanity Fair article, and didn't find anything new there...looks like the Reality Reckoning just turned into the Ramona Reckoning. Beverly Hills is bringing us the marital tension between Mauricio and Kyle and PK and Dorit...and we have a discussion about the difference between "taking the lead" vs "taking over". Thoughts on the Salt Lake City, including which side we're each on between Monica and her mother. And finally, Lindsay speaks out on her breakup with Carl - we have a few opinions, of course.

Holy moly, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills came out of the gate WILD with the first episode and Kyle and Teddi on Watch What Happens Live and we are here for it. Are PK and Dorit really on the rocks? We've got tea from an inside source. And Kyle and Mauricio's excruciating conversation goes right in to Kyle confirming on WWHL that she and Mauricio are separated, living in the same house but separate bedrooms and that she is unhappy about the recent photos of Mauricio and his Dancing with the Stars partner and costar holding hands. B has a theory about Mauricio and his costar. Winter House kicked off this week too, and we are loving it. Interesting timing from Kory being in a "situationship" to him being in a committed relationship. And Lisa wins a legal battle in her divorce with Lenny - and Lenny is called out for "abuse of judicial resources" over some houseplants and throw pillows. Thank you, Cocktailers for helping us get to a million downloads! We're celebrating with a giveaway. Check out the @bravoandcocktails_ and @cocktailsandgossip Instagram accounts for details.

Celebrity real estate is taking up a lot of real estate in our heads and inboxes this week - we've got receipts. Somehow, right off the bat, we start with a tangent about glow sticks for your mouth. Kim and Kroy had the seventh police call and visit to their home. For the sake of the kids, when will this stop? Congratulations to Tinsley Mortimer for getting engaged! Guess who her housewife neighbor is? We have all the casting tea on the next season of RHOC. And the Real Housewives of Potomac rumor that you DIDN'T hear us report on - we'll tell you why. The RHONY reboot had its finale and we have some mixed feelings about it. B has a theory: did the RHONY wives make a pact? This week's episode of RHOSLC was chaotic to say the least. We've got thoughts about the relationship between new Wife Monica and her mother LD, plus we read her mother's latest Instagram statement.

We continue to have whiplash when it comes to the Maurico and Kyle separation. This week, we see Mauricio's mom post a picture of herself, her ex husband (Mau's dad), Mau, and a dark haired woman who is rumored to be Mauricio's love interest. We can't help but wonder - with all of this press, all of the paparazzi pictures, all of the social media posts and statements, is this all just an epic, intricate, and blatant trolling situation? We've got an email about THAT Vanderpump Rules video. What does Juicy Joe think about his girls starring in Shein's holiday video? RHONJ is still filming, and has us saying, "What are you doing here without Dorinda?" based on some behind the scenes tea...Cocktailers are not shocked to hear about Taylor sending nude pics to Whitney, because we knew about their hookup earlier this year. Plus, a PSA about the dangers of sexting....
