Cocktails and Gossip

Guys! Things have been wild this week! We recorded this podcast on Wednesday, a day earlier than usual. And then all h*ll broke loose on Thursday about Amanda and West, so B recorded an emergency podcast on Thursday evening for our Cocktail Party members. Because this is such big tea, we decided to go ahead and add the emergency podcast to the end of this episode so all of you can get the most up-to-date tea. So, you'll hear Amanda do an intro, then the regular podcast, and then we added the emergency podcast with the most updated info to the end. So, keep in mind when you listen to the pod that there is more updated content at the end. Thanks to all the Cocktailers who joined our Zoom this week - so much fun! RHONJ is officially officially back. Our thoughts on Marge not coming back and what we think the vibe for the show will be... The latest on the Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortenson situation. And Alex Cooper had Jessie Draper on Call Her Daddy - so many bombshells in the interview. But Cocktailers already knew about the alleged prostitutes. B is putting these Dadtok man on a boat...listen to the pod to hear where, lol. Digging deeper into this week's Summer House episode, we have thoughts on Kyle Cook's tantrum and what's really going on. Are Ciara and Amanda fighting in real time? Our thoughts on Dara, so far.

It's true, we're hearing that Real Housewives of Miami is cancelled. We will share everything we're hearing about why. And chaos in ensuing from Salt Lake City to LA due to the rumored domestic violence investigations against both Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortenson of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Trigger warning: Shortly before recording today, a disturbing video was released that showed domestic abuse. We have not been able to verify whether the video is real. And, then, literally as we recorded, the news came out that ABC has decided not to air this season of the Bachelorette. And earlier this week, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stopped production. Who made that decision? We've got the details. There's a new Housewives Girls Trip -esque show coming - who will be on it? And we're loving what we're hearing about the Traitors casting.

Cheers! It's our 200th episode! We couldn't have done it without you, Cocktailers! Thank you for listening and being supportive of Cocktails and Gossip. Ladies of London has us seated. Promote the casting director and send her to Miami to save the show, please. We have a theory about what the actual reason for Dara quitting the show...and hint, it has to do with her ties to royalty. Margot's movie, 9 Songs, was and is controversial - we'll share more about why, and check out the site for the link to the spicy trailer. So much tea about Real Housewives of Jersey - it seems the cast is finally being firmed up. Summer House continues to give us a great season. We aren't so hot on Ben and the way he spoke to Bailey - some thoughts about what might have been behind it. The rumors about Amanda and West are not true - we've got more behind the scenes info for you on that.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has started filming after taking a pause after the devasting news about Mary Cosby's son, Robert Jr.'s death. How will this affect the season? Will Mary film this season? Did we just watch the best episode of Summer House ever? Is Kyle being a bad friend by not investing in Carl's Soft Bar? Jesse and Ciara talk...and he apologizes, kinda. Dara and KJ - adding more context to what we already know about them. We're jealous of the 90s. RHONY started filming TODAY! And as you heard here first, Carole Radziwill is back! Wendy and Eddie Osefo were back in court yesterday...and tying this back to the reunion, Wendy's whisper voice is back. Karen's advice, while probably good, should not have been on camera. And what we know about RHOC newbie Jen Curley. Does Heather Dubrow have poor friends?

Our hearts are heavy regarding the news of the death of Mary Cosby's son, Robert Jr. We send Mary all the love. B is back in the country and ready to gossip. Will Shannon and Tamra's "brawl" from the Roaring 20s Girls trip carry into storylines for the 20th season of RHOC? Why is Vickiy filming with her son instead of her boyfriend? What's going on with Real Housewives of Miami? IS IT CANCELLED???? We're hearing about other new shows that may be in development for Bravo. Watch The Valley: Persian Style with us - we are loving it. Tell Me Lies is over. Tears. We have opinions on the finale. Summer House - Lindsay is back. Why we both feel like our opinions on Lindsay have evolved. Jesse is giving B the ick.
