Kiki and Kibbitz

All the ladies except Jackie head to Lake George...and Teresa couldn’t be happier about it. While everyone acknowledges that Jackie’s comment about Gia was an analogy, they also know that you don’t. Mention. Teresa’s. Kids. In the van on the way, Teresa admits that Evan is her type (so was the rumor about jealousy?). Jackie stays behind to buzz her sons’ hair and teach her kids that you don’t have to be friends with people who don’t treat you right. (If only we’d all learned this earlier in life, right?) Frank and David go on a date. Melissa and Jennifer make up (we’ll see how long that lasts!). Teresa blames the tequila.

It’s over, people! My Seanna has dropped anchor for the final time in Season 8. It was no Real Housewives reunion, no matter how badly Andy wanted it to be. Chess won’t take the bait and acts like she and Rachel had put their problems to rest after the first two charters (gurrl, we saw the video). Ashling is just as boring and conflict averse. Elizabeth is dressed like a skater and calls Chess a bully (deflect, much?). Eddie won’t call Shane stupid, but somehow lets us know how he feels anyway. Rachel looks amazing, but it can’t hide her crazy. Izzy looks radiant. She’s not sad that Rob didn’t show, and neither were we. James’ eyebrows look better than ours do, dammit! Somehow, they completely neglected any mention of the most poignant moments of the season, but we noticed (as did the entire Internet). In the end, nothing was lost, nothing was gained, but it was a fun ride. Stay tuned until the end for a big announcement. Suffice it to say, it’s the end of an era. Bon voyage! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Mary K. (@AngelasBraPurse) guest hosts on this episode. We talk sh*t about absolutely EVERYONE and weigh in on who’s a good couple, who’s likely to stay together (pretty much no one), and who’s a major asswipe (almost everyone). We love Julia, hate Brandon (who blames Julia for the pregnancy scare), celebrate Yara’s sarcastic humor, and agree that Natalie is probably a serial killer, even though *maybe* Mike’s behavior was more suspicious than we previously thought. Even though we vowed never to cover Stephanie and Ryan again, we HAD TO, because…OMG, did you SEE this episode? We agree that Rebecca and Zied truly love each other, but point out that love is not enough to make a marriage successful. Throuples don’t work — prove us wrong. Let Mary know how much you love her! DM her on IG or Twitter and/or Brianna at @NotThatBrianna (Twitter) or @KikiandKibbitz (Instagram). Feel better, Brad! See you next week! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Where. Are. The. RECEIPTS? Tre's running around telling anyone who'll listen that Jackie's husband is cheating on her at gym. Will this be story of the season? Please tell me it is not, or I'll have to quit podcasting two episodes in. Either that, I or want to see the naked pics so I can verify for myself and count every freckle on his tight little butt (did I say that out loud?). Well, I can say anything I want, because it's my first solo podcast and there is no other co-host here to smack me on the nose and tell me to stop. Salient points: 1) Margaret and Jennifer suck, 2) I have fear-based alcoholism 3) I need Jackie's cute little ruffly pink dress 4) Is it time for bed yet? Lemme know what you think! DM me at @NotThatBrianna on Twitter or @KikiandKibbitz on IG.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Below Deckers, we hope you’re ready for all this. It’s the last episode of the season and we’re in our pajamas, drinking, and just being who we are. How else can we cope with the aborted season, the COVID flashbacks, and the intersection of reality TV and actual reality? This is some heavy shit. After Elizabeth’s departure, the crew goes to dinner and the poor girl’s cake arrives anyway. Rachel is irate that everyone seems to be dancing on her friend’s grave. Meanwhile — cake, people. Cake. The next day, after a failed throw-her-under-the-bus session with the Captain, Rachel decides to walk it off and try to work with Chess anyway. Ironic, because…there ain’t gonna be no more working this season. It’s over. So what else can you do, besides start drinking? No one knows what’s going to happen. Borders are closed. People are self-isolating. It’s sheer chaos. In the end, some fences are mended, other relationships remain unresolved (despite some inauthentic efforts), and someone gets a well-deserved promotion. It’s a wild ride…and the real-life ride still isn’t over. In the end, there’s not much more to say except, hopefully the reunion is a little more upbeat. Real life is hard enough. Right? If you want to see us in our silly pajamas, head over to the @KikiandKibbitz Instagram and have a drink with us. Cheers! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

If there are themes to these episodes of 90 Day Fiancé, this one would be either “Stranger in a Strange Land” or “The Bloom is Off the Rose,” at least where it comes to the two Ukrainian women and their men. Mike clearly HATES Natalie. And it sure seems like Yara hates Jovi, too. Or maybe we’re just projecting our own opinions here. Another theme is “cute kids on FaceTime.” We loved seeing Harrey and Auri connecting across the airwaves. Zied looked so happy to see his niece, too. Too bad Rebecca wasn't as happy after the young blond bombshell (who came from where? we still can't figure that out!) started talking to her man. We don't even address Stephanie, Ryan, the psychic, or the hula hoops, for reasons we explain. Girl, BYE.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

There’s More to love on this episode! Below Deck Med 3rd stew Jessica More stops by to hang out, spill just a little bit of tea, and tell us about her real life off camera. And yeah—she’s just as beautiful and charming in person as she is on screen. Find out about what’s she’s up to now (hint—she’s a chief stew!), who she’s dating, and what’s she’ll be up to next. But don’t stop here! Go to the @kikiandkibbitz IG account and see the video interview. After that, we even get to a bit of this week’s Below Deck episode. Oh, but, who really cares when you’ve got Jess on the show? ENJOY! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

The season finale of RHOSLC is here! While Stacy and Jordan are sad to see it end, our Salt Lake City snow queens really bring it for their farewell week. Mary finally leaves her closet, and it’s pretty clear that she’s never led a choir before. The Beauty Lab opening is a triumph and a spectacle- blush and bashful clouds, Meredith’s (pre-Covid) face mask, Lisa’s scheming and Jen’s questionable apologies. America finally learned what a stanchion is (thanks Heather and Whitney!), but it’s obvious that Jen didn’t learn anything from the fights in Las Vegas.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

It’s Elizabeth’s 30th birthday and everyone (wait, make that no one) is celebrating. Her day starts with another lecture from Francesca, who’s so frustrated with her that she’s crying. The Queen of Versailles comes aboard, demanding pickled jalapeño quail eggs, while her low-maintenance husband eschews champagne to drink sweet tea out of a styrofoam cup. Later, the couple sympathizes with Captain Lee, since they, too, lost a child to a drug overdose (crushing!). Meanwhile, their kids — too young to drink in the U.S. — get trash fish (to use Jen’s word), making Ashling nervous. She lies about the hot tub being out of order to get them to bed as soon as possible. Will Liz get fired? Find out next week! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Brandon *kind of* confronts his parents, who practically self-destruct when they hear the news that he and Julia want to move out. His mom cries crocodile tears while his dad throws a fit because he doesn’t want to be strong-armed by his son’s fiancé. Finally, mom concedes that “maybe” she can compromise on the engaged couple sleeping in one room (how benevolent). Jovi thinks Yara is lying about being pregnant…but not so fast, party boy. He’s mystified how she got knocked up so fast (one hint, dude: you had sex without protection). Stephanie comes clean to Ryan about her tryst with cousin Harris, but it turns out he’d known for ages. Andrew is living it up in Mexico and thinks nothing of asking Amira to go quarantine in…SERBIA? Rebecca’s friend and former boss, Mel, grills Zied and makes Rebecca cry. Hazel and Tarik look for a brown girl who doesn’t have bad breath.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

What happens in Jen Shah’s imagination, stays in Jen Shah’s imagination. RHOSLC x Vegas continues with an endless meltdown of circular logic. After HITTING Heather, threatening to drown Whitney, and trashing Meredith’s marriage (OK, actually, Meredith did have a boyfriend), Jen still feels like she is owed an apology. She is a victim.. of her own delusions? Stacy and Jordan are obsessed with celeb hypnotist, Kimberly Friedmutter’s, psychic energy- which is zero patience for Jen's psycho energy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

It’s Groundhog Day on the farm and Julia is shoveling sh*t. We get it, girl. No, he not man. Yes, we hate him, too. We want you move now and no more sneaky room! The cashier at the drugstore wishes Yara good luck. Not sure if she had good luck or not getting pregnant with Jovi’s baby. But Mazel tov from K&K. Amira’s back in France, which is definitely the best news on this episode. Hopefully, she’ll get a clue and STAY THERE. He’s not worth it, Amira! Mike’s mom comes to visit and he and Natalie set a wedding date. Sigh. Let’s be real, none of these people should be together. Our advice to all of them: WEAR CONDOMS. Stay safe everyone…see you back here next time! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

The music. The myths. The LEGENDS. The Real Housewives of Motown! Stacy, Nate, and Jordan dive into this world of singers who set the bar for how glamorous true divas could be. Their songs are still stuck are in our heads, and their feuds proved to be timeless. Life in Detroit was a game, and Berry Gordy made the rules.  This week's lineup includes: Diana Ross and The Supremes, Gladys Knight and The Pips, Martha and the Vandellas, Kim Weston, Tammi Terrell, Mary Wells, and Thelma Houston. Special appearances by Marvin Gaye and The Jackson 5.  As a listening companion, DJ Stacy also created a Motown playlist that captures the melody, intrigue, and drama of Hitsville USA!

This week’s Below Deck was light on content but still managed to piss us off. We’re sick of James and Elizabeth and their whole vapid “love affair.” But these two idiots deserve each other. We start with James trying to make Liz jealous by ogling all the “fit birds” on Rob’s IG. Eye roll emoji. Everyone gets antibiotics on this episode. Too bad they don’t cure stupid. Lil’ Gigi the dog poops on the poop deck (ok, it’s not actually the poop deck, but you knew that pun was coming) but we’re not mad, because she is SO DAMN CUTE. Izzy gets a well-deserved promotion, prompting the guys to give her lots of sh*t … but what did you expect? The crew spends a half day picking up trash on the beautiful island of Antigua and James is bummed because he can’t drink while doing it. Francesca and Eddie are pissed off when James and Elizabeth spend the night in the guest cabin without permission. You don’t want to see disappointed dad, kids. And when did Eddie become “dad”? Next week—Queen of Versailles! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

It’s Viva Las Vegas for the ladies of RHOSLC! Stacy and Jordan dive into this trip to The Strip that’s filled with feuds and passive aggression. It’s Whitney’s vacation, but Mary won’t go, Meredith will think about it, and Lisa might find the time. Jen plays matchmaker with Heather and Big Daddy, then flips on Heather (again), questioning her loyalty in a shop full of $1k shoes. Whitney, Meredith, and Lisa hash it out at race track, where we learn Lisa’s driving skills are all Porsche and no bite. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message
