Cocktails and Gossip

This week, we finally get what we have been asking for. The Summer House folks In the City. And what a wild transition from the Hamptons to NYC it's been. And, Bravo addresses the West/Amanda romance and Amanda and Kyle's breakup all at once. Back to the Hamptons, we see some evidence that Amanda and West were up to no good last summer. Did West do what he did to Ciara because he secretly hates her after fan reactions to their breakup? Back to In the City, Bravo and Cocktails was featured twice on the show. Once at the beginning regarding Amanda and Kyle's breakup and then again showing our post about Danielle dating a married man. But Cocktailers knew first, of course, all the way back in August of last year. The Valley is heating up again. Darkside Danny makes an appearance...but is it really just when he drinks that he acts like this? We are starting to question that. And why Lala and Janet's situations are NOT the same.

B went to the Vulture Reality TV Masterminds Awards event and has a lot to share with us, including what Kyle's reaction was to her, who she vibed with, and who she met. The next day the Jenn Fessler/West Wilson scandal exploded. We have thoughts both on whether it happened, and how Jenn and West handled it. And on this week's episode of Summer House: What did West whisper to Amanda, and why did production choose for us not to hear it? Real Housewives of Rhode Island: The offscreen drama continues to be as good as the on-screen. We told you a few weeks ago that Rulla's husband the cheating podiatrist is suing his ex-mistress for breaking the confidentiality clause from a previous lawsuit. Well, now, the mistress is suing Brian back. We also got some BIG tea (a Cocktails and Gossip exclusive) about the mistress that truly made Amanda's jaw drop. And on the Valley, we've got nothing but love for Nia, but maybe a little concern, too, as her husband Danny is acting like a man-baby. Plus another podcast exclusive: Which The Valley star just got more cosmetic surgery???

We start with some Met Gala tea to cap off Met Gala week. We were a little nervous for Ciara, but she seemingly avoided a wardrobe malfunction. Now that we know what we know about West and Amanda, was this latest episode of Summer House the worst yet? What is "duper's delight" and why is everyone talking about it this week? What was Amanda's motivation in going so hard for Ciara in her conversation with Mia? We have slightly differing opinions. Why we think Kyle truly was surprised when Ciara brought up a trial separation. Bailey and Carl: will they or won't they? We think they won't and explain why. Will we see Ben and Sabrina next season? We think not...

We have been bamboozled, hoodwinked, swindled by Steven McBee. Will we even watch the show now that we know different? B got intel that the person who helped Bravo crack the case on who recorded the leaked Summer House audio was no other than Jennifer Lawrence, Academy Award winner and Bravo fan. West Wilson is enduring a family tragedy. We recap the other audio leaks and it just raises more questions. B reads a post that has been circulating called Amanda Batula and the Carrie Bradshaw Accountability Crisis. It gives us a lot to think about. Michelle from the Valley is dating Dr. Dre. What??? We have more info on how they met... and do we think he'd ever be on The Valley?

This week, we have the always insightful Kate Casey joining us and filling in for Amanda. Summer House continues to be in the news. The "timeline" is still being discussed, with context added both by Mia from Southern Hospitality and Jesse from Summer House. We get Kate's thoughts on the new RHORI show and the cast. RHONJ cameras are UP and they are filming at the most iconic spot, Rails Steakhouse. What is next for Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?
