| 182. Our love to Jamaica; Mean not Shady; RHOSLC and Below Deck Crossover; An ICON joining Next Gen NYC | 01 Nov 2025 | 00:56:01 | |
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.

| 181. Why does Wendy want to be tried separately? What to watch next; Why we can't be in the CIA | 25 Oct 2025 | 01:00:29 | |
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.

| 81. Bravo Fashion; Hot OC Tea; An OG Returns? Does the Bethenny Clause Affect Casting Decisions? | 25 Nov 2023 | 00:59:45 | |
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 thankful for our Cocktailers, now and always!

| 80. Bravocon After Thoughts; A Theory About a Miami Couple; Southern Charm Love Quadrangle | 18 Nov 2023 | 01:05:14 | |
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!

| 79. Bravocon: Hookups, Beef, What We Heard and Exclusive Tea | 11 Nov 2023 | 01:03:47 | |
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…

| 78. Exclusive: A Bravocon Run-in; Behind the Scenes Miami Tea; Ramona Reckoning | 04 Nov 2023 | 01:00:08 | |
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. | |||
| 77. Exclusive RHOBH Tea Not Shared Anywhere Else; Winter House Situationship, A Stolen Houseplant Emergency | 28 Oct 2023 | 01:04:21 | |
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.

| 76. Real Estate Receipts; OC Rumors; Mouth Glowstick Tangent; RHONY Pact? | 21 Oct 2023 | 01:08:48 | |
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. | |||
| 75. Are we being epically trolled? RHONJ and RHONY crossover? Southern Sexting | 14 Oct 2023 | 01:02:34 | |
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....

74. Exclusive Lenny Tea; What RHOSLC Cliffhanger is Actually About; RHONY Getting a New Appleholder
We got exclusive info from a source about Lenny from Real Housewives of Miami. But the plot thickens, as we share some other information about the status of his house on Star Island. All in the same week, we get the RHOM trailer - it gave us chills. On Salt Lake City, the first episode started with the "shocking" cliffhanger when we see Heather kick the cameras and producers out of her hotel room - we have tea about what it's actually about. There are a lot of rumors flying around about Sai from RHONY - and a Cocktailer did some footwork and sent us some very interesting information about the early days of her marriage, funny enough, coming from Sai herself in a VLOG from a few years back. We're hearing the name of a new castmember for the next season of RHONY...and who she might be replacing. And Real Housewives of Orange County's first reunion episode aired this week - not much that's all that shocking happened...but we've got opinions...

| 73. Kyle and Mauricio Tea Hot Off the Presses; Jersey Gets Physical; Thoughts on New Southern Charm Castmembers | 30 Sep 2023 | 01:04:02 | |
We've got some exclusive tea about Kyle and Mauricio from a source that you won't hear anywhere else. You might have heard that Jen and Danielle got in a physical fight in Jersey at Teresa's party - but we've got details on why it all went down. And the emails have been pouring in about Jersey - including one possible scenario that is not getting the best reactions from Cocktailers...Is Jenna Lyons coming back for season two of the RHONY Reboot? The Ubah vs. Erin fight - whose side are we on? Salt Lake City continues to bring it. Housewives in drag? Yes please. There are a few new cast members on Southern Charm, and of course, we've got opinions.

| 72. The Shannon of It All; You Called Me a Pornography; Southern Awkwardness | 23 Sep 2023 | 01:02:18 | |
Shannon Storms Beador was arrested for DUI and hit and run. With her dog. We discuss the fallout, videos, friends' statements and rumors surrounding the event. Are we ready for this season of Real Housewives of Orange County to wrap up? One of us is, one isn't. Is Tamra taking it too far by going after Jen's relationship in every scene? Spoiler alert - we think she needs to leave poor Jen alone. Traitors - whew! The casting rumors have been wild but we have a confirmed cast. Real Housewives of Salt Lake City was pure comedy gold this week. We've got a dramatic reading of Mary's amazing one-liners and of Meredith's rich drunk British woman cosplay...Speaking of Meredith's "YOU CAN LEAVE" moment, what are Angie and Meredith ACTUALLY fighting about? There's something more going on. There's so much awkwardness and very little charm on the Southern Charm premiere. And we dig some HOT tea out of the Cocktail Party vault from early last year.

We're hearing that Lindsay Hubbard is filming *something* starting on September 1. Here's what we know. And we promised we'd talk about the hilarious email we got from Janet, oops we meant from an anonymous source. Is she THE MOMENT, lol? And some juicy behind the scenes tea on what really happened when Jesse Lally's girlfriend showed up at Michelle Saniei's Zen party. RHOC popped off this week, both on our screens and in our inboxes. We got a very detailed and interesting email about what's really going on with the OC wives and what producers are considering regarding the next season. Including some OC OG flavor. Also, we have a podcast exclusive about what is going on real-time with Tamra Judge and Katie Ginella that. you won't want to miss. And last but definitely not least, B has a Real Housewives of New Jersey filming update, including which OGs we're hearing will be filming.

The Summer House breakup continues to be messy. Carl's email to wedding guests is "leaked" to People Magazine, and we break it down. Is he accepting fault for calling the wedding off? Then, Lindsay shares a statement on Instagram...saying she is "humiliated" and has "no answers or closure on why". Ouch. Southern Charm is premiering this week, and is there a couple in trouble in Charleston? Plus we have an update on Naomie Olindo's court case. Real Housewives of Salt Lake City continues to be a holy mess, in the best way. And we have some behind the scenes tea on Mauricio, Kyle and Dancing with the Stars, plus some theories on what the heck could actually be going on.

| 69. Atlanta's Future (Exclusive Tea); RHONY Ladies Seeing Green? And Just Like That Finale | 02 Sep 2023 | 01:03:06 | |
Hours before we sat down to record, we got some exclusive tea about Real Housewives of Atlanta and its future. We've been getting (and sharing) emails about this topic all summer, but today's tea is hot and straight from a source. The finale popped off and there's lots to discuss there. We have a theory about how some of the RHONY women might have been feeling during filming...and how that could affect their behavior. Brynn's life sounds like a movie. And Just Like That season 2 finale: pause at the end if you haven't watched. What we liked...and what we didn't. | |||
| 68. Orange we tired of Shannon's antics? RHONY, we love you. And tangents. | 26 Aug 2023 | 00:58:52 | |
We do a quick touch on Bethenny's "Post-Rachel update" pod as well as a few of the other reaction pods from Lala and Stassi. OC: Is John Jansen a fame sniffer? What is Shannon's motivation for protecting the relationship at seemingly all costs? Will there be repercussions from her latest rant about Gina? We love RHONY and now that we're getting to know the women a bit better, we've got fresh opinions. Justice for Jessel – why we think she's really giving Prime Housewife energy. The deep seated root to Brynn's flirting; is Sai really giving us everything, or is she setting the stage and keeping up her guard? And then, of course, we've got some good tangents for you this week on: breast exams, mistakes we made in our 20s, dating, and postpartum bodies. | |||
| 67. B Exploited Again, Rachel? | 19 Aug 2023 | 01:03:00 | |
We're back from vacation and ready to rant. Bethenny Frankel has Rachel Leviss, fresh out of treatment, on her podcast to tell her side of the story. We recap and react to parts 1 and 2. What do we think Bethenny's real motivation is with this Reality TV Reckoning? And we sprinkled in a few tangents on drug store makeup, RHOC and the RHONY reboot. | |||
| 66. MJ from Shahs is Here To Talk Tea | 12 Aug 2023 | 00:52:05 | |
Mercedes Javid from Shahs of Sunset is here to spill tea with us – and she's as unfiltered and genuine as always. Who is she still in touch with? What are her thoughts on Scandoval when she knows all of the cast so well? What show does she currently love most on Bravo? And we get an interesting perspective from her about the possible reality show unionization.
Her husband, Tommy Feight, wrote a children's book called The Best Hug In The World. Buy it now at https://www.thebesthugintheworld.com/ | |||

Lenny of RHOM can now proudly say he has a wife and a fiance. We have theories about Lenny's proposal. Kyle and Mauricio (and Morgan Wade) continue to be very public, but very silent. Did Sam stand by her man and opt out of Summer House? Vicki is back to whoop it up - and we've got thoughts about her return. | |||
| 64. InstaDrama, Bravo and Sex with Meghan King | 29 Jul 2023 | 00:53:20 | |
We have the most fun chatting with Meghan King from The Real Housewives of Orange County on this week's pod! Meghan shares her behind the scenes perspective on her time from RHOC and we get to hear more about the Instagram beef that is happening with Jennifer Aydin. We were shocked to hear how and when Meghan first thought something was off about Brooks and his cancer story. And we get to hear about what Meghan is up to since filming plus the best advice about sex that she's heard from all the various experts on her podcast.

| 62. So many exclusives; Do F-Boys make better TV than nice guys? RHOBH, RHOA, Summer House and VPR | 15 Jul 2023 | 01:00:10 | |
It's an episode full of exclusives. First of all, we spend a little more time breaking down the Kyle and Mauricio separation - something just isn't adding up. And we've got exclusive tea from someone who is connected to them. Separately, is there a rift in Kyle and Dorit's friendship? We've got to wonder - here's why. B called it from day 1 about Kim and Kroy. And the timing can't be ignored - they get back together the day she is seen again on RHOA? Hmmmm. Amanda is happy we have some guys joining the cast of Summer House. Let's hope this means Couple House no more. We've got a few exclusives on the Summer House cast - a few of them are pretty surprising. We wrap with some exclusive Vanderpump Rules tea plus some speculation on how that's all going to work.

| 170. RHONJ filming plans; Carole Radziwill on RHONY? The Valley reunion pt 2; Denise Richards on RHOBH | 09 Aug 2025 | 00:58:13 | |
So much to talk about this week! What other shows are we watching? B is in a can't stop looking relationship with Hunting Wives. Amanda is following her assigned TV watching from B by watching The Gilded Age plus some other shows with her kids. Big news, we have some RHONJ scoop for you. When they are test filming, when they are full-force filming, and which OGs are being considered for the show. And speaking of OGs, we have tea on Carole Radziwill and RHONY. The Valley reunion part 2 just makes us wonder even more, why are Janet and Jason Caperna seemingly excusing Jax's behavior but continuing to go after Danny Booko? And how were Kristen Doute and Janet Caperna ever friends? Michelle Saniei and Jesse Lally share more about their life post-separation. Does it matter if inappropriate behavior counts as an emotional affair if it's inappropriate? Teddi Mellencamp from RHOBH shares more heartbreaking details about the demise of her marriage, including that she feels her cancer is her fault due to her affair. And how are the RHOBH Season 15 castmates feeling about Denise Richards' divorce and her filming with Sutton Stracke and Erika Girardi? Last but definitely not least, we have some Next Gen LA scoop for you.

We're thrilled to have Ally from @Bravo_After_Thoughts on the pod this week! And what a week it's been. Literally right after we recorded last week, the whispers get louder and louder about Kyle and Mauricio until we get the People confirmation that they are separating, quickly followed by a "we aren't divorcing and ask for your privacy" statement on Instagram. So what's going on? Does our theory about why Bravo would make that announcement add up? We go through the Easter eggs and the tea we have been sent over the months, including some new tea that feeds into a theory we have about what comes next for Kyle. And we've got some exclusive Summer House tea, including who is on the full-time cast, and will there be some new men on the show? Thank you guys for listening to Cocktails and Gossip - we are so humbled and honored to be listed as Screenrant's #1 Reality TV Gossip podcast. | |||

| 55. James has us dum diddly dying of laughter; A very Jersey wedding; Summer House friendship split | 27 May 2023 | 00:57:22 | |
The conversation between Lindsay and Danielle…it was brutal, no other word for it. Our thoughts on Mya hiding her breakup… The RHONJ wedding special episode was very highly watched - but a little boring. B educates Amanda on the customs of NY and NJ weddings - Amanda has offered herself as a guest to experience a Venetian Hour. What we're hearing about the RHONJ next season cast...there's talk of demotions and of people being put on pause. The VPR reunion was great tv. We have started a list of James' greatest hits. He had us cry laughing this week. Is Tom Schwartz almost as bad as Tom Sandoval? And what's the big reveal in the reunion? We've got some tea for you. Last but not least, the WILD bank statement from Kroy's divorce motion against Kim. This episode brought to you by Cozy Earth. We are LOVING their temperature-regulating bamboo sheet sets.

Will there be any castaways on the boat to Scary Island? We share what we know. And the Jersey finale - or should we say, brawl? And why did Louie say he hired a PI to get info on all the ladies…but then Teresa backed off?

We've been following the sad news about Kim Zolciak Biermann and Kroy Biermann's foreclosure. Sadly the story gets worse, with a hefty IRS bill and now they've both filed for divorce. We ave some more details about Kim and Kroy's divorce–you've been hearing from us first on this topic. We're so happy to see the peaches of Real Housewives of Atlanta back on our screens. We've got a feisty new Housewife and some ongoing drama between previous wives, plus some new men in the lives of two of our favorites. It's shaping up to be a good season. We are loving the Summer House Martha's Vineyard cast - we have a little tea on one of the castmates and her famous actor ex. Louie went off the deep end on this week's Real Housewives of New Jersey - this is feeling like more than just wedding stress. Are these Louie's true colors? And Louie has a brother? How come we never hear about him? And we're hearing from behind the scenes sources that there's drama within the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Alliances seem to be shifting yet again.

Our thoughts on part one of the Valley season 2 reunion. Who's buying Jax's sob story? What tea does McBee Dynasty's Calah have on the family? We're thinking it must be good in order to get her apartment and car paid for. RHOC: Whose side are we on – Shannon or Katie? Amanda admits she was wrong about something.

| 51. Lisa Hochstein Divorce Win; Jersey Reunion Tea; RHOC Trailer; We don't talk about Marlo? | 29 Apr 2023 | 01:02:30 | |
So much buzz about the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion. And we have some exclusive tea from an eyewitness. And more exclusive tea about some friction between the Catanias and Teresa/Louie. Who got "tossed like a whore in a brothel" during the show? We have an update for you on the Lisa Hochstein divorce. We covered her prenup in a deep dive on episode 38 and based on what the judge in the case just ordered through temporary orders, Lisa got a win. Our theory about why the Real Housewives of Orange County trailer was held up is seeming to check out. Real Housewives of Atlanta hasn't begun yet, but the drama has and we are loving it. | |||
| 50. Celebrating 50 Episodes; Friendship Fallouts; More Scandoval Rumors; | 26 Apr 2023 | 01:01:48 | |
This is our 50th episode of Cocktails and Gossip! A huge thank you to our listeners and community. As a thank you, we have an announcement to make about the future of the podcast…We discuss a few friendship fallouts. Which housewife in Miami is threatening not to film with another? RHONJ breaks the "kids are off limits" rule…and another week, another few VPR #Scandoval updates for you… | |||
| 49. Scramdoval; Bravolebrity Renaissance; Bravocon Confirmation | 19 Apr 2023 | 01:02:26 | |
Bravocon is viva-ing Las Vegas, but Cocktailers have known this. Maybe the Toms need a little break from the media, because now Sandoval's podcast appearance was a bigger dumpster fier than Schwartz's. Let us count the ways that Sandoval is a master gaslighter. And Scandoval is causing a Bravolebrity renaissance of sorts. Summer House couple tea. Finally a more lighthearted Real Housewives of New Jersey episode. Send us your Bravo limericks…

| 48. Shwartz WWHL Dumpster Fire; More VPR Cheating? Psychics; RHONJ; HubbHouseWife? | 12 Apr 2023 | 01:01:09 | |
Tom Schwartz' dumpster fire of a WWHL appearance: From the weight cuffs he wore, to the admission that he knew about the affair since last August, to the plea to all of us to give Sandoval a hug. Wow, just wow. B and Amanda get into a conversation about what Tom Schwartz should have done - should he have told someone? When? How? And is he smarter than he plays on tv? There's a new lawsuit that alleges more cheating involving people we've seen on VPR and RHOBH. And we're hearing there's a new reality show brewing involving people from lots of different reality tv shows. We dissect a couple of the most memorable moments from this week's Real Housewives of New Jersey. And does Bravo use social media as a focus group? We think so - and we talk about this week's Bravo article about Lindsay Hubbard wanting to be a Housewife as the perfect example.

| 47. Juan's Shady Mani; Our thoughts on RHUGT Thailand so far; Who almost fought at the VPR reunion? | 05 Apr 2023 | 00:59:16 | |
First it was laundry, now it's nails; we broke a picture of Juan out with the same woman again. Another RHOA divorce - this time from Eva Marcille, and with an interesting twist. We have opinions on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Thailand. PMDD is no excuse for being an a-hole. Whitney is growing on B but Heather is losing both of our respect. Porsha is reminding us why we loved her to start with. In RHOBH news, Brandi is messy as usual, and lots of housewives are making cameos on the show. What we're hearing about the drama (or lack of it) this season. A fight almost got physical at the Vanderpump Rules reunion and we have the tea on who it was… And we wrap with a little tidbit about who Tom Schwartz fell for on Winter House.

| 46. Scary Island, Rachelle/Raquel's PR angle, Why Jen and Bill's therapy session is so relatable | 29 Mar 2023 | 01:06:57 | |
Rumor has it the RHON legacy ladies returning to Scary Island? Why this makes sense to us, and who we're hearing is coming. Who's going to Vegas in November? We're not sick of Scandoval yet - and here's why. Inside info about how Rachelle's working a PR angle; and is any amount of mean girl behavior permissible now that we know what we know, or is there a line? We see through the "Katie won't sell back her hotel room" storyline. And on to Real Housewives of New Jersey - props to Jen Aydin and Bill for putting themselves out there with their therapy sessions. Why we think their conflict is relatable… And, we've got a "glass houses" situation with Jackie and Danielle - it's just not making sense to us.

| 45. Southern Charm ice out? Scandoval: What no one else is talking about; | 22 Mar 2023 | 00:58:46 | |
Is Taylor from Southern Charm getting iced out? The Scandoval restraining order - no way Bravo is going to let that stop us Bravo fans from getting the reckoning we all deserve. We have a theory about production that no one is talking about…Bravo is putting the fruit in the refrigerator until summer. We've got the OC tea. Summer House - where does Lindsay go from here?

| 44. Guest Kate Casey's got a completely different perspective - and we agree with her | 15 Mar 2023 | 01:04:23 | |
We loved doing this episode with Kate Casey, host of the podcast, Reality Life with Kate Casey. We got her unique takes and perspectives on #Scandoval, Real Housewives of New Jersey, and Summer House. We dig deep - is there a redemption arc for Tom and/or Raquel? Where does Kate think the real drama may be happening on Real Housewives of New Jersey? We predict next steps for some of our favorite Summer House reality stars, Lindsay and Kyle. | |||
| 43. Surprise Love Triangle; We're On Display; A Pile of Embarrassing Househusbands | 08 Mar 2023 | 01:02:04 | |
NOTE: This podcast was recorded before the Scandoval happened. If you want to hear our take on Scandoval, we recorded two emergency podcasts on that Friday night. They're available to Cocktail Party members, and you can join by going to bravoandcocktails.com/join * We're coming in hot - off joining Melissa Gorga on her On Display podcast. She was a class act and we clear up the mystery about whether or not we are on Melissa's payroll. Danielle and Lindsay's feud is heating up - is the door going to close forever on their friendship? Cocktailers knew ages ago about the love triangle between Danielle, Gabby and the mystery man … We go on a bit of a tangent on what New York metrosexual really means. We've got a pile of embarrassing househusbands to roast this week. We've got the Winter House cast - and theories about who's going to hit it off…and who won't. Adriana vs Alexia - do we feel sorry for Adriana? And where did this Raquelle who tells Katie that she wanted to make out with her ex-husband even come from? | |||
| 42. What's a B*tch Eating Crackers? Teresa's Kids have Entered the Chat; Perspectives on the Summer House Kyle and Carl feud; Beckham Wedding Scandal | 01 Mar 2023 | 01:07:19 | |
B*tch Eating Crackers - an Urban Dictionary term that we learned and we're running with it this week. Summer House - we have different (but not opposite) takes on the Kyle and Carl situation. Details from the Brooklyn Beckham and Nicole Peltz wedding are coming out – and the tea we got on the site last year is making a lot more sense. Real Housewives of New Jersey is keeping our interest. The Teresa/Louie/Melissa/Joe battle is brewing - and Teresa's kids have now entered the chat. And, the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion had some very interesting moments. We have some insight on what Mia was trying to explain - as well as some tea on what Gizelle was trying to hint at during the reunion.

The Summer House premiere is here, and we ask an important question: How are people going to bone and bring home randos with this bunking arrangement?
