So much to discuss about Real Housewives of New Jersey this week - on and off screen. First, a tangent about Dolores' boyfriend Paulie's 14 year separation in which he still isn't divorced. This week's episode was classic Housewives and we loved it. Rumors are swirling that Carl and Danielle from Summer House are dating - we'll share what we know. We do have an exclusive on an upcoming RHONJ scene - and more bad news on Teresa, her husband Luis, and Vinivia, a company they are associated...

Lots of smoke around Kyle and Amanda and their marriage this week. Is there fire? Why didn't Amanda go to Italy with Kyle for Andrea's wedding? We'll tell you what we're hearing plus more on the history of their relationship and how that could weigh into today's situation. Thoughts on the Summer House reunion, and where things could be headed for this summer's filming of Summer House. We've got an exclusive about the cast and filming of Bravo's new show, Making it Manhattan. Luis Ruelas,...

We start out with a tangent about college hookups, going right into why Amanda is mad at Bravo. We need a reunion on the Valley! Here's why. We have an exclusive about Britney and Jax's house. B is vindicated now that Andy Cohen and People Magazine confirmed that there will be no RHONJ reunion. We've got some tea about where Jersey could possibly go next. And we are loving Real Housewives of Dubai. It's giving fashion, fun and the light housewife shade we all are craving. Our thoughts on the...

Who's surprised that Jax is out there dating Only Fans models? Not us. B has some exclusive Vanderpump Rules tea. Who do we think the VPR couple who temporarily rekindled was? We think there are some clues in the Peacock extended version. And our thoughts on the final installment of the VPR reunion. We feel like we got some clarity. Summer House: B has a theory on why Amanda is seemingly on Carl's side. And we have another theory about why Kyle called Craig a liar on WWHL. We have some...

The Atlanta cast is finally set. Why is Sheree out? And yet again, all roads lead to Bravo as we tie a Housewife to the Drake/Kendrick Lamar battle. Kim Z is clickbaiting again. We’ve got some insider tea on the new “Making it in Manhattan” show. Carl and Lindsay - luggagegate and whose side we’re on. Kyle’s fight with Ciara and Paige - we have slightly differing opinions on the situation but both agree he’s acting like a man baby about it. We have an update on the Naomie Olindo (formerly of...

First, a genuine apology to Jen Armstrong, formerly of RHOC and to Jen Pedranti, currently on RHOC. We mixed up last names, and when we meant to refer to Jen Pedranti, we accidentally called her Jen Armstrong. No shade was meant. But just because we messed up Jen P's name, doesn't mean we're not going to share the latest on her fiance's involvement in the Ohtani theft/gambling scandal. @bravoandcocktails_ Instagram has been in the news - thanks to a pic we got from a Cocktailer that was then...

We've got two different sets of breaking news this week. We start out with the story about Ryan Boyajian, fiance to Jen Armstrong of the Real Housewives of Orange County. He has been named as an associate to the bookie in the gambling and theft case of Shohei Ohtani, the LA Dodger, and his interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, who has been accused of stealing more than $16 million from Ohtani and wiring the money for his gambling to Ryan Boyajian. What did Tamra Judge say about this? You'll hear it...

What happened to episode 103? And today, we had a whole different WTF... Michelle and Jesse from the Valley have both gone public with new love interests. We've got a lot of info on Jesse's new gf – and she has a fascinating back story that we get into. We disagree about Jax's real motivations for telling Brittany he doesn't want a child, but we agree that everyone's scapegoating on Kristen and she's getting all the blame for something most of the folks on The Valley are doing too. Did you...

NOTE: We had technical difficulties when recording this episode. Once we were able to recover the backup file, we found that the sound quality wasn't as good as usual - but our editor was able to polish it to the point that we could use the podcast. Thanks for your patience and support for the episode that almost never was :)   After a Ryan Gosling tangent and another about photoshopping pictures, we get into the VPR tea - it's not just about Scandoval anymore. Can't help but think of the...

Monday was one of the wildest days in the Bravoverse that we can remember. Firings, divorce news, pregnancy announcements. Is Nneka actually not coming back to Potomac? B has an Atlanta casting update. The Valley is sending us. We love it. Kristen is an empath? Lol. We have the tea on who the rumored director that Michelle Lally was hanging out with. We have a lot more info on Raquel Chevremont, the new RHONY Reboot cast member. And of course, Cocktailers knew there was trouble in paradise...

Larry from @Bravobygays on Instagram and the Bravo by Gays podcast is here! We get INTO it about Vanderpump Rules - starting with Jo. We read the transcript of her interview on Rachel's Gone Rogue - is she a victim of Tom Shwartz's gaslighting? Were they actually dating last summer? Larry's thoughts on the Katie/Tori/Schwartz love triangle. What is actually going on with this Lala/Ariana feud? We have theories. What show does Larry think is Must-See-TV? Thoughts on Jax and Brittany - are...

We're getting tips and seeing video that Jax already has one foot out of his marriage. A complete 180 from where he was a year ago? On the Valley, Kristen drops a bomb about another castmate, but then seems shocked at the backlash. We have some thoughts and observations about VPR that we're not seeing anywhere else. What is B's beef with Tom Schwartz about? And, in honor of our 100th episode, we answer Cocktailer questions. We answer Cocktailer questions, such as: What's the craziest DM you...

Another wild week in March. How much more can we take? Monday's news about P Diddy's homes being raided by Homeland Security and his sons being cuffed, while he was allegedly flying around the islands on a private jet. Real Housewives of Potomac has us talking - the finale was definitely worth watching. There's a physical fight at the GNA party. And Mia and Gordon are getting divorced: Mia's been having an affair, and she and Gordon aren't sure whether their son is Gordon's or Mia's...

Cocktailers won't be surprised to hear Marcus and Larsa are broken up (AGAIN). We've got some exclusive tea from a source on why. And – why can't Larsa just show some vulnerability for once? Watching Summer House, we're seeing the precursors to Carl and Lindsay's breakup. Cocktailers are seeing it play out much like the tea we shared - but we can't help but wonder, did Lindsay ever see the writing on the wall? Or was she so focused on winning each argument and on the wedding that she couldn't...

Trishelle Cannatella from Traitors is here! We could have talked to her all day. She fills us in on her trip to NYC: WWHL and watching/meeting Ariana at Chicago on Broadway. Of course we have all the questions about Traitors - behind the scenes, her real thoughts on the cast, and her game strategy. We discuss five different theories on what's really happening with Princess Kate, and Trishelle weights in. Porsha and Simon's divorce keeps getting weirder - we share some exclusive tea.   This...

Brittany and Jax are separated. Here's why we don't think it's just a PR ploy to support their upcoming VPR spin-off, The Valley. Jax blames "communication issues", but of course we have some tea on what we're hearing could actually be the cause of the split. Did Luann bag herself a french billionaire? Erin Lichy's Hamptons home is renting for how much per month this summer? Summer House: We're watching the demise of Lindsay and Carl's relationship, and we've gotta say, Carl is being...

Have things ever been this chaotic in the Bravoverse? Lawsuits. Multiple Breakups. Mortal enemies joining forces. There's so much to talk about. Rachel Leviss files a revenge porn lawsuit against Tom and Ariana. Then Jax and Brittany announce their separation - we have exclusive tea. Porsha files for divorce against her husband of one year, Simon Guobadia. B did a deep dive on his history of brushes with the law - let's just say there's a lot there. House of Villains theory. Teresa and Kim D...

Larsa from RHOM interrupted our Super Bowl watch parties to let the world know she and Marcus had broken up. In her own thinly veiled way, of course. BUT, before any of the dust settled, they're seen together four days later on Valentine's Day. We have been getting lots of tea on this relationship since last year - so, since the subject came up, we share the exclusive Cocktail Party posts. We share our thoughts on couples who go through each other's phones. Porsha is back on ATL and it's got...

Hot tea incoming on a Real Housewives of New Jersey and her husband fighting with someone in their inner circle IN PUBLIC - and some Instagram unfollowing. B's got a prediction about Teresa. Vanderpump Rules and Beverly Hills both gave us great reminders that partners need to have the sometimes hard financial discussions. Rachel Leviss was seen in NYC - what was she up to? B has an epiphany about Kyle and Dorit's friendship - Cocktailers, do you guys agree? And this week, we saw a public spat...

This week's Grammy's award show was arguably the best ever. We felt like we had to go off our usual Housewives beat to unpack a few of the big moments with you. And we have some exclusive Cocktail Party tea to share with you about one of the night's biggest winners. Kandi is leaving RHOA, and we're hoping it's just a pause. We'll share what we're hearing about the rest of the cast. Miami is still extra spicy in Mexico - we've got thoughts on the Kiki/Lisa fight...and the ladies really bring...

Last week, we broke the story about Luann from RHONY and Joe from Southern Hospitality and their hookup literally as B was getting information from sources. We have updates for you on that story, including one from a Cocktailer who spoke to Joe after the incident. And, now that we've seen their episode of WWHL, the pieces of the puzzle fall in place. This week, we got the VPR premiere plus an almost two-hour long episode of the Viall Files podcast with both of the Toms. Spoiler alert: Tom...

The love triangle we didn't realize we all needed - Joey Bottles, Luann and Danielle. LOL. B's got the tea, and Amanda is out of town, so she's hearing it for the first time. Get the exclusive details here. Alexis posted a hilariously cringey slide show. Kyle and Mauricio continue to be the ringleaders in this crazy media circus. Why are Dorit and Kyle on such bad terms, anyway? And we have a little love note for why we love Miami - plus some tea on casting for next season.    This episode...

B tells us about going to see Craig and Austen at Pillows and Beer - and meeting Austen and Craig. We have some exclusive tea about Monica from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Seems like there are a lot more skeletons in her closet than she led us to think. Is Real Housewives of New Orleans (RONO, as Amanda coins it) going to be coming to our screens? And who are we hearing might be cast in it? Andy, please say it ain't so that some of our favorite shows are going on pause for – THE ENTIRE...

Tasha from @thepopastrologist is here to talk all things Bravolebs and astrology. We cover a whole lot in this week's pod, including:   What is she seeing in Lindsay Hubbard's chart, and what could be contributing to her breakup with Carl?   What the heck is going on with Monica from Salt Lake City?   What astrology might be telling us about the real reasons Tamra, Vicki and Shannon are going through a very public friendship breakup.   Where are Kyle and Mauricio headed?   This...
