Kiki and Kibbitz

Move over, Shahs. Family Karma has stolen our hearts. We go deep into Bravo's newest show about Miami's Indian community. The setting, the cast, the moms and aunties. Are Vishal and Richa meant to marry? Are Brian and Monica oblivious to their love? Is Lopa the new Vida? It all goes down at the Diwali Gala!  #FamilyKarma --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

The reunion starts with a bang, as Jennifer comes in hot for Melissa. While Jennifer says what we're all thinking about Melissa's fake storylines, Jordan and Brianna agree that she's clearly interested in getting punched in the face...and it could easily happen. It would be kind of a shame to ruin all of Bill's hard work, though, right? Jackie surprises J&B by saying that no, Dolores was not being antisemitic when she said she was "cut from a different cloth" and then they make nicey-nice. Dolores says she's good without a ring from David. No one believes you, Dolores. But we're glad you're moving in the right direction. Tune in next week for part 2! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Can a wedding last an entire year? It definitely feels like Jax and Brittany's has lasted at least that long; maybe longer. Meanwhile, James is serving up a hearty helping of abuse to Raquel, who *says* she's done with it and that this is his last chance. Anyone's guess if she's just saying that once again (what does she see in him anyway?). Sandoval issues an inauthentic apology to Jax, who inauthentically accepts it. Back to having two "best" men (does Jax know what "best" means?), Jax still explains that one Tom Best Man is not equivalent to the other Tom Best Man, logic that only Jax can manufacture or comprehend.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Drop your buffs, because it's time to join Jen and Brianna as we take a deeper look at Survivor Winners at War, Episode 3.  Once again, it's an epic battle of the dumbasses, with Adam sharing his plan to get Parvati out with Rob. What are you THINKING, bro? Meanwhile, Natalie easily foils Danni and Amber, neither of whom seem like they're playing with a full deck. Sandra continues to prove she's got more tricks up her sleeve, catching a baby shark (which Tony picks up by the tail and almost gets bitten). Rob manages to avoid getting a single vote, despite being responsible for another tribe loss. And it all ends in tragedy, but with hope for the future.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

We are SHOOKETH as LVP mourns the loss of another family member, the Queen Mother. Sandoval is lucky to be fired as Jax’s groomsman- the Cartwright/Taylor wedding is a nightmare, not a fairy tale. Lala's managing the Bel Air house reno because BJs for PJs aren’t paying the bills, and we’re 99% sure that Charli and Brett are actually siblings. Vanderpump with your Standerpumps, Jordan & Brianna! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

WTF was she thinking? WTF was she wearing?? Hair pulls are the new table flips and Tre looked like Shirley Temple meets Atlantic City at the Jersey Shore. In Italy, Teresa and Joe are DEAD inside--almost as dead as their marriage. Does the family that Gucci sweatshirts together stay together? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

After years of having his back, Brianna finally relents and admits that Andy Cohen acted like a sexist pig on the Below Deck reunion. Disillusioned, she and Jordan turn their attention back to what is *actually* important, namely, does Raquel have Stockholm syndrome? Do Jax and Brittany share one brain (or less than one)? Is Kristen *really* as athletic as she thinks? On Vanderpump Rules, we find out that yes, Gigi really is that big of a stoner and Mike's brothers have lost their fool minds and are entrusting him with a multimillion-dollar construction job. We round out the week with highlights from Real Housewives of New Jersey and Real Housewives of Atlanta.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Drop your buffs and join Brianna and Jen's tribe as they breakdown the second episode of Survivor Winners at War. Does Ben even understand the concept of the game? Is it possible for Denise to make worse choices in alliance partners? Was Tony punking all of us with that ladder, and do he and Sarah really think Cops R Us will work? Have some of the contestants suffered traumatic brain injuries since their wins or are they just that stupid? All this and more, including awarding their fire-token-worthy and torch-snuffing moments of the week! Join them on Tuesdays for a memory refresher and some laughs before each new episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

The Bravo gods have smiled upon us once again with an embarrassment of riches! On the #BelowDeck reunion, Andy manages to piss off the Bravoverse by appearing overly sympathetic to Ashton, Captain Lee is wearing white alligator boots, and Abbi's had a "glow up." Then, the #Shahs are back in town and J&B are STOOOOOKKKKKKEEEED! We jump right in with a housewarming party, Persian style, but with Kevin Lee "shi shi shi" flair! Mike, once again, has found his soulmate. GG, without taking a breath, jumps right into the histrionics. And (gasp!) Adam is sending dick pics to new buddies he's playing Naked Jenga with. On #PumpRules, we're playing arts and crafts and Scheana IS NOT JEALOUS. Meanwhile, the racist new duo, Max and Brett, are conspicuously missing after the controversy over their tweets.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

New! SURVIVOR WINNERS AT WAR breaks down the triumphs, tragedies, schemes, and surprises from Survivor Season 40, the series' piece de resistance! In this inaugural episode, Brianna and Jen analyze the cast, reminisce about their original seasons, and debate the worthiness of some of the series' most notorious heroes and villains. Is Sandra the queen, or merely a cocky wannabe? Did Danni get too much botox? Is Tony a weasel, a cop, or both? Most of all, these cohosts squeal like little girls as they share their over-the-top excitement about this epic, 20-years-in-the-making event. Tune in Tuesdays for new episodes! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Yeah, yeah. We said we wouldn't have a new episode this week. But when Brianna was almost killed by a non-killer bee last Friday, we knew we couldn't keep it from you, our beloved listener/s (we're hoping there are at least 3 of you). So here is the bee-side, plus our reactions to the premiere episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

So. Many. Lies. In this dramatic episode, J&B lament the emotional roller-coaster and web of deceit woven by Mr. Andy Cohen. Is she or isn't she? Will she or won't she? We cover the rumored and confirmed departures of original housewives NeNe Leakes, Tamra Judge, and Vicki Gunvalson. By listener demand, we also share our professional opinions on the Jim and Megan Edmonds divorce drama. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

On #RHONJ, Jennifer and Jackie mirror Jordan and Brianna, as far as our feelings about $$$$ go. We discuss whether it's adorable or deplorable to count other people's money (and ask detailed questions about it). On #PumpRules, Season 1 Stassi makes a cameo and on #BelowDeck, Kate sinks to a brand-new low. Brianna (and her son Dylan) podcast live from Hawaii, where they share the unbelievable stories of Brianna's father, Dr. Jay, and his poor, poor helpers. Aloha!   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

This season of Vanderpump Rules opened with the news that the only OG cast members who still worked at SUR were Scheana, Jax, and Peter. In episode 2, we get the ol' bait and switch, when Tom Sandoval tells us he went back to SUR because he just missed it and because he likes to end the night with a wad of cash. Next, we have Ariana in a $$$ outfit, talking about she's bored and wants to come back to SUR.  J&B&J discuss the pretense here, with some of these cast members making close to $500k/season. Or maybeeeee they just want to make sure they stay relevant? You decide! At least Lala has the decency to constantly flaunt her wealth (wait, did we say Lala has decency?). On Real Housewives of NJ, we debate Jennifer Aydin's motivation for researching Jackie's wealth and whether it makes her a horrible person. Lastly, on Below Deck, we cover Rhylee's firing/not firing and whether Captain Lee really would work with Ashton again. And. So. Much. More.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message
