Michelle Dempsey-Multack is back on the pod to talk about all of the chaotic Bravo divorce situations, starting with Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave. Dubai is on pause - good reminder for all of us Bravo fans to be careful what we call boring. Michelle, a Miami resident, shares a story about meeting Nicole from RHOM and bumping in to Alexia frequently. And we talk about the Martha Stewart documentary. Martha's a baddie. We go on a bit of a tangent about the word "narcissist" - what it actually...

This week, we have our fabulous team member and fellow Bravo lover, Tracy on the pod! Teddi Mellencamp announced that she and her husband, Edwin Arroyave are getting divorced. There's a lot to unpack, including a lot of exclusive tea about what has been going on behind closed doors, plus some theories on the odd timing of the filing coming a week after their PDA-filled appearance at an event. Why is Teddi getting so much hate during such a terrible time? And why, if they are such great...

Spoiler alert: stand down everyone, we're not coming for Jeff Lewis. We got called out on his radio show this week - but we stand by what we said... Here's why we think RHONY is great this season. And we are noticing some interesting changes in Jenna Lyons this season. And we've got theories about Ubah and Sai's beef with Brynn.

This week, we have Melissa from @yourbishtherapist talking all things housewives, including how she found herself at the center of big drama with Tamra Judge from Real Housewives of Orange County. What does it mean to be emotionally stunted, and is it caused by nature or nurture? What is financial infidelity? How does trauma affect the real housewives, and how do we see it manifest on our screens?

First, our thoughts and love go to those affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The tea on the Valley keeps coming, and we seemingly have an unpopular opinion about it. Is Vanderpump Rules filming being held up by egos? Speaking of VPR, there's a tie to Momtok and Scheana's talking to anyone and everyone about it. Potomac is back. Mia comes in hot with the daddy drama. Karen takes no accountability for her DUI - despite the fact that she is charged with 8 different counts and will be...

RHONY is back and we are loving it. The women have seemingly all evolved their friendships/alliances. Is Brynn stirring the pot for fun or to make good tv? Erin's got a lot on her shoulders this season. We're intrigued by Raquel. Did Tamra go too far speaking about Ryan from OC on Watch What Happens Live?

So much going on in the Bravoverse this week. And we have some news that we share at the beginning of the pod. In Momtok news, we have some exclusive tea about one of the Mormon Wives allegedly cheating (publicly) on her husband. And that's not all, sounds like she's had quite a bit of drama in her personal life for years - we get into it. Salt Lake City is off to a fantastic start. Battles are already being had, one liners are being served. Michelle from the Valley just committed one of...

Sean Combs, aka P. Diddy was arrested this week. Lots of shocking details in the 13 page indictment, plus we have some insight from someone who knows how the Southern District of New York operates. Real Housewives of Orange County newbie Katie - what do we think about her? Stassi is on the comeup and is throwing some shade (which we love) along the way.

We have missed Larry @BravobyGays and we are so happy to have him join our chaos. We have a lot to say about Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. It involves all of our favorite things to talk about - sex, religion, cheating, backstabbing, drama. We need season 2! In Bravo news, Dr. Nicole and the "will she/won't she" return conversation has us all on the edge of our seats. B has some great insight on what might be motivating her hesitance to return. And will we be seeing Nene on our...

Amanda's dog is a jerk. The Mistress in Miami seems to find herself single again. Shocking. We have some exclusive Real Housewives of Miami tea about who may or may not be continuing on the show and who may or may not have been demoted. And where is Alexia's head in her on again, off again relationship with Todd? We can't stop watching Tamra's face peel off on social - it's must see viewing each day. And Vicki really went in after Tamra - we think they're both going way too low and they both...

So much happening in the Bravoverse this week, we barely knew where to start. First, well wishes to Vicki from RHOC who is recovering from a near death illness. Alexis Bellino is engaged to Jimmy J, and we wish them well. But will Alexis' divorce settlement prevent her from actually marrying Johnny Aioli? Tamra is getting a lot of heat for her treatment of Shannon. Vanderpump Rules' future is being questioned - will there be another season? We have some exclusive info on this from a source....

Jenn Fessler joins us this week - she is authentic, real, and answers the hard questions. We got a preview of her new song. She reveals something surprising - there is a surprising piece of information that all of the RHONJ housewives knew going into filming and throughout filming the season. Jenn's favorite and least favorite parts of being a housewife, plus where she stands with each of the women. And, best of all, she shares a little preview of her new song.

We kick off with a back to school tangent. And of course, we talk Real Housewives of New Jersey and the non-reunion as we're calling it. Is it the end of the show as we know it? Another tangent - the meanness of some of the fan accounts is just a line too far. Is Teresa spiraling after seeing bad fan reactions to her saying that she didn't care about what Louie said about Marge and her son suffering? We have a theory about why Johhnie Aioli might actually be suing Shannon. And the RHONY...

Is RHONJ coming back? We share the latest tea. We go deep on the season (or is it series?) finale of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Who's lying? Dolores or Marge? B has a theory about a scene being filmed later than portrayed. Our unpopular opinion on Jen Fessler peacing out on lunch. There were some great one-liners this episode. And, B's tangent - We need plumbers!

Amanda shares a little about her week getting married and about her "oops" that may force cosmetic surgery a little sooner than she thought. Real Housewives of New Jersey has everyone up in arms, and even Andy's commenting about the show's future on his radio show. Get out your tiny violins, Cocktailers, we discuss "Teresa's Big Announcement" and we have thoughts about what Teresa might actually be stressed and upset about. Could it be that maybe everyone is right? Maybe both the ex and Luis...

First, a tribute to Shannen Doherty - we will miss her. She was unapologetically herself and we feel like we lost a friend this week. Tom Sandoval continues to villainize himself - he just filed a lawsuit against Ariana for "invading his right to privacy" through her "unauthorized and unpermitted access to, use of, and copying of the data on his cell phone and the distribution to Rachel Leviss". We have thoughts on that and his very strange 4am Instagram live with his girlfriend. We have...

Amanda just had an evening out doing an activity that B does NOT approve of. And we go on a bit of a tangent about boating. Our merch store is almost ready - we can't wait to share it with you! And while things were slow on Bravo this week during the holiday, there was a lot going on offscreen. True to B's prediction, Lindsay Hubbard announced her pregnancy. And we share a little about why we haven't and won't share specifics or pictures of the new man in her life. Summer House is filming,...

We both had late nights...so it's only fitting we start with a tangent about rosé. And as expected, New Jersey is top of the list to discuss this week, and we untangle the hairdresser drama and talk about how charity events work. Amanda finds some interesting data about Jen Aydin's charitable history. LVP is going to be back on our Bravo screens. With Kenya out on Real Housewives of Atlanta, who is going to take her place? Could the timing of Peter Thomas's tax announcement be a coincidence?...

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...
