182. Our love to Jamaica; Mean not Shady; RHOSLC and Below Deck Crossover; An ICON joining Next Gen NYC

We send our love to Jamaica and other islands in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. We shared links in the newsletter with some resources on how we can all help. Some tea we shared back in August in our Cocktail Party subscription content has come back to light. We're hearing that Danielle from Summer House has been seen filming a reality show...and we have a feeling we know why. You'll hear the exclusive post on the pod. We are very disappointed in Giselle's behavior on RHOP. Making everyone else personalized robes and bags and handwritten cards, but not Stacy? That's not shady. That's just plain mean. And don't get us started on the gang up on Angel about editing her pictures when every single one of those women have edited photos as well. Once again, mean, not shady. We break down the RHOSLC/Below Deck crossover episode ... and there are a few things that went unsaid that we're still talking about. And last but not least, an ICON is slated to film with the Next Gen NYC cast and we are pumped.    This week's episode is brought to you in part by our sponsor, Caraway.

This week, we have Kate Casey from Reality Life with Kate Casey on the show. Her takes are always sharp and insightful and she's got the goods when it comes to the "what should I watch next?" question. Why does Wendy Osefo want to be tried separately from Eddie? Kate convinces us both to watch the latest season of The Chrisleys and we think you'll be convinced, too. Want to know who's teaming up against whom on the next season of RHOBH? Kate's got another show for us. And last, we now know why none of us can be in the CIA.    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors. -Quince: Find your fall essentials at Quince.

Goodbye to Diane Keaton, and why we will miss her. Sometimes, we say things that have a very short shelf life. Last week was a record. Not even 12 hours after we recorded last week's podcast talking about what standup people we thought Wendy and Eddie Osefo from RHOP are, we heard the news that they were both arrested for insurance fraud. For those of you who were laughing when you listened to the pod last week, we were too. NextGen NYC exclusive gossip. Kim Zolciak has herself in the middle of another divorce drama, and one of our Cocktailers had a front row seat to some of it, and of course reported back to the rest of the Cocktailers. RHONJ exclusive tea plus our thoughts on how the sit-down between Teresa, Joe and Melissa is going to go down.    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors.  -Quince: Find your fall staples at Quince.

Breaking OC News! Cocktailers knew about the Miami bombshell first. Our opinion about Julia continues to decline. Guerdy could be in trouble regarding her future role on the show since she couldn't accept apologies and move on. We have some Next Gen tea...filming has started for Next Gen NYC...and when can we expect the next Next Gen city? We've also got details on the upcoming fight between Heather Dubrow and Gretchen. And Real Housewives of Rhode Island is in the news, not for a good reason. One of the housewives husbands was charged with domestic violence. RHOP and Stacey's breath are back. Cocktailers knew she was getting back with her husband, of course. The newbies Angel and Tia are introduced..what is everyone thinking of them so far? On RHOSLCBronwyn's mom Muzzy needs a muzzle. That woman is just plain mean.   This week's podcast is brought to you by our sponsor, Caraway. Non-Toxic cookware made modern.

Heather Gay makes a bold (and we think brave) statement about her motherhood journey. Did Bronwyn's response sound like a dig to us? And Lisa Barlow is back on RHOSLC but only seems to care about what people are saying about her...while she's in delulu land about her lawsuits. Let's just say we see a pattern there. Bronwyn brings the heat against Lisa and all Lisa can do is hurl insults about Bronwyn's husband, her sex life and the fact that she didn't go to college. We love Real Housewives of Salt Lake City! We've got some tea on a possible cross-Bravo-show romance. Actually, maybe on two cross-show romances. And we're hearing some good tea on some other shows casting. And will Carl Radke be on the new Summer House spinoff?   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors. -CBDX: If you're ready to feel better every day, visit CBDX.com and use code GOSSIP for 20% off your first order.  -Nutrafol: Find out why Nutrafol is the best-selling hair growth supplement brand at Nutrafol.com.

Who's going to be on the Summer House spinoff? And when are they shooting? You've heard it here first the whole time, so of course we have the tea. Salt Lake City is back, and while it wasn't glamorous, it gave us so much - laughs, looks, lawsuits, and memorable lines. It feels as if nothing was resolved at the reunion and we're picking right back up where we left off. Lisa wasn't on the trip - and we have some thoughts as to why. And because we figured you would be wondering, we did a little research on where all of the FIVE lawsuits that the Barlows have been involved in stand today. The Housewives Swap trailer came out this week, yet another show we told you about first. And the RHONY casting updates continue - we have breaking updates for you, including a RHONY OG we may be seeing on the next season. Last but not least, another recognizable name has been filming for The Valley. And why we're hearing that Scheana ISN'T filming for the Valley, at least not yet.   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsor, Caraway.

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.
