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!

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 episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by StitchFix.

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.

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.... This episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by HelloFresh. Go to HelloFresh.com/50cocktailers23 to get 50% off your order plus free shipping!
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...

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. This episode of Cocktails and Gossip (and our new wardrobe updates) are brought to you by Stitch Fix. They just get us - and they'll get you, too. Try it today at stitchfix.com/COCKTAILERS and you'll get 25% off when you keep everything in your Fix.
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. PSA: Drinking and driving is the #1 cause of death on our roadways. It is NEVER OK to drink and drive. For more statistics and information on how this tragedy can be stopped, go to madd.org
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.

We share alllll the details, all the tea, all the DMs that we have on Lindsay and Carl’s breakup. We have the timeline, plus what’s happened since the breakup was filmed. Salt Lake City’s divine premiere: Mary returns, New housewife Monica brings the mess, and are we really fighting over bathtub DNA?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Don't miss Meghan's upcoming Daytreat on August 24 - get your tickets here: https://www.gaiahavenexperience.com/
The anxiously awaited RHONY Reboot is finally here, and we're here for it. We've got a little tea on the cast ready for you. And of course, Bethenny and Jill can't let them have the spotlight to themselves - but we do love the reunion. More celebrity divorces, but Cocktailers have known about them for a while. Vanderpump Rules is filming in Tahoe - we have some scoop on what's going on behind the scenes, plus something else is brewing with some of the OG Sur-vers. And what's in the water in Jersey? Lots happening there with casting - we've got tea. Feeling a little FOMO about Cocktail Party? Well, if you're not a member yet, you're definitely missing out on our best tea. Summer is the perfect time to join - you can sit outside, enjoy the weather, and catch up on all the gossip you missed. Join us at bravoandcocktails.com/join
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. Love the tea? Join us at Cocktail Party where you can get OUR BEST tea, a bonus podcast every week plus access to our monthly Zooms all for $7.50/month - that's less than the cost of a sandwich.

Sorry guys but hate the idea of a full reboot. Miami style would be better. Marlo absolutely needs to go back to friend of. Marlo will never be able to do fun shade, because of her childhood she will always go hard when she feels threatened. I may be in minority but beyond tired of infertility journeys and miscarriage stories.
RHONJ has been about families from the very first episode.
Amanda and B are awesome! best part of My week ladies!! love this podcastt
