208. Met Gala Tea; What is "duper's delight"? Thoughts on next season of Summer House

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...   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors: -Hulu: Whatever it is you're into, Hulu has it all. No filler. No fluff.

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's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors:  -Hulu: Whatever it is you're into, Hulu has it all.

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.    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsor, Rocket Money.

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.

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?   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors:    Rocket Money: Let Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster.
