The Real Housewives of Orange County Season Eighteen Trailer has dropped. From the moment Teddi Mellencamp threw her epic shade reminding Miss Victoria Gunvalson that she is no longer a full time housewife, we were hooked. Newbie Katie comes for Queen Dubrow, Shannon’s drinking exposed by her ex friend Tamra, her car crash explained to her children and ex John Janssen front and center, if not in name only, thanks to the brilliant return of Alexis Bellino. We are extremely hopeful for a great season of RHOC and pure return to form of the entire multi city franchise after RHONJ has proven what not to do after five long weeks. Throw in some Sutton Stracke, Shannon Beador being shown the door and Gina Kirschenheiter reminding all of us that yes, this is exactly the type of women our fav Orange Holders are and we are here for it. In other news, last night in the Hamptons we had a sighting of the - do you hear that buzzing sound - one and only Singer Stinger. We break down exactly what we observed from Miss Ramona and boyfriend Bill. We could not make this up if we tried.

Simon and Porsha continue to fight over their mansion, sling the shade on social and involve RHOA producers and Bravo as Porsha tries to film the new season of the Atl now that she has regained her peach. Heading west, apparently everyone in town - Jeff Lewis, Lisa Vanderpump and the rest of the RHOBH cast - knew about PK and Dorit’s separation. We break down their separation, discuss the likelihood of them reconciling and check in with the current season of RHOBH filming. Kyle and Morgan step out amidst fan fare and paparazzi, continue to dodge direct questions about their status and smile knowing we all have something to say. RHONJ moves along with the lowest ratings in RHONJ history, Kathryn Dennis tries to bounce back after her shocking DUI arrest, Ariana and Katie move on and much, much more.

Countess Luann de Lesseps returns and steps back Behind The Rope. In between Cabaret gigs on her current Countess Cabaret tour, Luann stops by to chat about the busy Bravo year she is having. Luann talks being in Crappie Lake with Sonja and shares updates on Season Two. She discusses the upcoming RHONY Legacy Girls Trip - what we will be most shocked about, the premiere date, what we will learn about cast mates Dorinda, Ramona, Kelly, Kristen, Sonja that we do not already know and the presence of Scary Island and other past RHONY “scandals”. Lu breaks down RHONY Season Fourteen and chats about her run in the other night with Brynn Whitfield. She deep dives next weeks BravoCon and reveals what gentleman from another Bravo show she is hoping for a meet up with. Next, Luann shares updates on her love life and shares her hot takes on all the RHONY love that has occurred in 2023 - Ramona, Kelly B., Tinsley. Of course, we discuss the “Reality Reckoning”, Vanity Fair and her ex-RHONY mate who shall not be named and much, much more. Finally, since The Countess is on tour the rest of the year (link to tickets and dates below), we talk Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Erika Jayne and last, but certainly not least, the fact that life is, in fact, a cabaret.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season Four. The return of Mary Cosby. The introduction of Jen Shah’s ex assistant, turned FBI Informant, turned Snow Flake Holder. Does Monica really know where all the bodies are buried and is Jen Shah justified for being outraged, from prison, that her name was mentioned so many times? The answers to these and many more burning questions as we break down the return of this once stellar, then not so stellar, franchise and share all our thoughts for the rest of the season. Heading east, we share what we know from RHONJ Season 14 filming, discuss the fact that Tre and Mel are still not speaking and explain why this once explosive franchise will seem tame and non toxic when it returns to our Bravo screens in Q1 next year. All this, plus a RHONJ FBI update. Whew, its gonna be one of those episodes!

BravoCon RHONJ Edition!! You guys have asked for it all week and today we share all our thoughts and break down all that happened Behind The Scenes and Backstage at BravoCon - RHONJ Style. We address all the rumors that the Melissa/Joey/Margaret Panel was empty, that spies and saboteurs were planted at Tre’s Panel to disrupt the peace and that “Gabby From Philly” was paid by Bravo to ask Jen Aydin a series of questions that she did not seem to enjoy to say the least. We break down the fall out from Jen’s comments, her doubling down on social, Luis Ruelas’ BravoCon experience, the many statements Marge and Jackie made about the fall out of their friendship, John Fuda’s statements that Teresa is a has been (TreHugger’s cover your ears), Dolores Catania’s explosive comments about Season Fourteen, the Season Fourteen RHONJ Trailer, run ins, shade, new beef started within the RHONJ franchise and across franchises and much, much more in this supersized RHONJ BravoCon extravaganza!!

Jules Wainstein steps Behind The Rope. So much has been written about Jules over the past few years since her time on RHONY’s Season Eight. Today Jules is here to set the record straight on what is true, not true and kinda true. Of course, we also deep dive into the epic RHONY Season 8 in all its glory - “Please Don’t Let It Be About Tom”, Cheater Brands, “Everyone Hates John”and much more. Jules breaks down what her time on RHONY was like, her friend Dorinda who introduced her to this group of Apple holders, working with Bethenny - who she shared the same divorce attorney as, yes we discuss in detail, highs/lows, misconceptions, and much more. We chat about the current state of RHONY, diversity on Housewives, which OG’s should and would be back and what the future of RHONY looks like. Finally, living in Boca, we chat about Jules’ “friends” down the street - the RHOM, the drama and what joining this booming franchise would look like for her.

Tamra Judge rocked the BravoVerse last week when she declared she was “on the spectrum”. We break down Tamra’s statement, analyze the validity of it, weigh in on the public outrage and discuss the claims that it was for sympathy, to excuse over a decade of RHOC bad behavior and / or for a story line next season, RHOC 19. Finally, we discuss the comments thereafter from Vicki, Gretchen, Kelly Dodd and Heather McDonald. In other RHOC news, Jim Bellino and Elizabeth Vargas are dating, then not dating a la #fake news, Gretchen discusses what really went down in the Morocco bathroom between Brandi and Caroline and Jennifer Pedranti gets angrier than F at Tamra earning her place for RHOC 19. Finally, Andy Cohen weighs in again on Jennifer Aydin’s claims, on the future of RHONJ and when we can realistically expect casting announcement for Season 15. Part II starts now!!
