173. B was in a jungle; Karen Huger's out of prison on Tuesday – will she be filming? Who's lying on RHOC?

Taylor Frankie Paul is the new Bachelorette - will we be watching? And we have gotten so much Jersey tea over the last few weeks, we share it ALL and break it all down for you. Will the cold war between Teresa and Joe and Melissa end? Also, what's this about Danielle Cabral being back in the mix? And while the RHOC Katie vs. Everyone Else fight never seems to end, we have gotten some pretty entertaining DMs and emails regarding the Orange County housewives...including one we weren't supposed to talk about or post.

The podcast gods were smiling on us - we got a hot little email about Real Housewives of Atlanta. They're three weeks in to filming - who is filming? Who's jabbing at each other? And we both watched the Netflix Documentary, Unknown Number: The High School Catfish. Watch it if you haven't yet! Also, some of the Cocktailers have been telling us to watch Love Thy Nader, the show about Brooks Nader and her sisters - we're going to watch it this weekend and talk about it, so join us! Amanda has a new conspiracy theory. And we know people have been talking about the pictures, but has anyone actually read the Miami Vibes magazine article that Teresa and Louie were in? Did Teresa and Louie, lol? The McBee Dynasty finale ended with a crash. And Galyna was apparently arrested again just a few weeks later, but not for DUI this time. We've got updates on Lindsay Hubbard's new spinoff, and will Brittany Cartwright's new boyfriend be on the Valley Season 3?

B was in the jungle, lol. Taylor and Travis are engaged and we're happy for them. Karen Huger is getting out of prison on Tuesday! We have tea about her possibly filming, and of course we've got thoughts on that. The Gretchen and Tamra naked wasted night continues to be a big issue on Real Housewives of Orange County. @FaceReality16 did a great job going back to the original episode and we've got to say, it looks a whole lot worse looking at the details of that night through a 2025 lens. We have theories on who's lying. What do you all think? RHOC Season 20 tea keeps coming into our inbox, although we might pretend we didn't get the email about Alexis. Brittany from The Valley has a new man, and drama seems to follow. We're hearing he's a good guy but seems to have chaos of his own. Should Britt just take a little time off from dating? We chat about the Miami Seville trip drama and on where the Miami cast goes from here.    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is sponsored by Caraway.

Lots happening in our little gossipy neck of the woods this week! First and most important, B is getting Glamour Shots done while on vacation, lol. We have confirmation on next season's cast of the Valley. B got an email with some pretty explosive tea about a Summer House cheating scandal. And we have some clarification on the OG roles on season 20 of RHOC as well as what we're hearing about a potential newbie to the cast. Jesse McBee has serious second thoughts about getting married...you'll hear our thoughts on what we would do in that situation. B got more RHONJ tea and which OGs are reportedly test filming. Plus. a source gave us some very interesting intel on a possible new travel show featuring some of the men of Southern Charm.    This week's podcast is brought to you by Nutrafol.

We're hearing that Lindsay Hubbard is filming *something* starting on September 1. Here's what we know. And we promised we'd talk about the hilarious email we got from Janet, oops we meant from an anonymous source. Is she THE MOMENT, lol? And some juicy behind the scenes tea on what really happened when Jesse Lally's girlfriend showed up at Michelle Saniei's Zen party. RHOC popped off this week, both on our screens and in our inboxes. We got a very detailed and interesting email about what's really going on with the OC wives and what producers are considering regarding the next season. Including some OC OG flavor. Also, we have a podcast exclusive about what is going on real-time with Tamra Judge and Katie Ginella that. you won't want to miss. And last but definitely not least, B has a Real Housewives of New Jersey filming update, including which OGs we're hearing will be filming.   This week's podcast is brought to you by Quince.

So much to talk about this week! What other shows are we watching? B is in a can't stop looking relationship with Hunting Wives. Amanda is following her assigned TV watching from B by watching The Gilded Age plus some other shows with her kids. Big news, we have some RHONJ scoop for you. When they are test filming, when they are full-force filming, and which OGs are being considered for the show. And speaking of OGs, we have tea on Carole Radziwill and RHONY. The Valley reunion part 2 just makes us wonder even more, why are Janet and Jason Caperna seemingly excusing Jax's behavior but continuing to go after Danny Booko? And how were Kristen Doute and Janet Caperna ever friends? Michelle Saniei and Jesse Lally share more about their life post-separation. Does it matter if inappropriate behavior counts as an emotional affair if it's inappropriate? Teddi Mellencamp from RHOBH shares more heartbreaking details about the demise of her marriage, including that she feels her cancer is her fault due to her affair. And how are the RHOBH Season 15 castmates feeling about Denise Richards' divorce and her filming with Sutton Stracke and Erika Girardi? Last but definitely not least, we have some Next Gen LA scoop for you.    This week's podcast is brought to you by our sponsor, Caraway.

Tracy is here! Did Jax feel forced to announce he is no longer associated with his bar...because of us? Scheana has one big regret about how she handled Brock's affair. Our thoughts on part one of the Valley season 2 reunion. Who's buying Jax's sob story? What tea does McBee Dynasty's Calah have on the family? We're thinking it must be good in order to get her apartment and car paid for. RHOC: Whose side are we on – Shannon or Katie? Amanda admits she was wrong about something. And more about Porsha and Shamea's friend rift...who do we think is right?   Thank you to our sponsor, Nutrafol. Find out why Nutrafol is the best-selling hair growth supplement at Nutrafol.com.

Our Send Us Tea inbox has been overflowing and we have so much of it to share that we're calling this an All Tea episode. Starting with RHONY...we have an update on casting and will we see Carole Radziwell again? Who is coming back for Season 3 of The Valley? And who is not...we're hearing there has been a breakup of one of The Valley couples. Next Gen NYC will start filming soon, we've got casting updates for that show and also have the tea on why Emira wanted all of us to google Georgia's boyfriend, Omar. And what's happening with Summer House this summer? And where is it headed?   

Steven McBee from The McBee Dynasty is here! If you haven't started watching, you're going to want to get caught up because this show is so good and unlike anything you've seen on Bravo. Very much a real life Yellowstone. Steven's not afraid to answer any of the questions we throw his way, so get ready for the real tea. And, we don't film while we record, but this would have been a good one to film...yes, he really is that handsome and charming. After our interview, we go into this week's top news. Scheana Shay wrote a book and in it, she tells all about how Brock cheated on her. Cocktailers have known about this since June 2024, of course. The timing of releasing this story is pretty interesting, and we've heard a couple of versions of the story about how she found out...we'll discuss. And, Jax Taylor announces that he is not going to be a part of The Valley Season 3.
