This episode of 90 Day Fiancé The Other Way was filled with tears and scary parents. Case in point: Sumit’s mom. She could kill a man with those laser-beam eyes and that terrifying, chubby index finger. The histrionics! We’ve never seen a grown man on his knees in front of his mother crying like that before. And hopefully, we never will again, because it requires way too much valium. She’s scary, but not as menacing as Yazan’s father, who is literally plotting his death. So endearing (yikes). Brittany finally has an "aha" moment and breaks down in tears that rival Jenny’s hysteria. Ari’s mom is pretty adamant that she doesn’t want her grandson growing up in Ethiopia (but she’s not as scary as the others). The moral of this episode: if your parents aren’t trying to kill you, you should remember how lucky you are. See why we’re waiting for 90 Day classic to come back? We need some damn laughs! Stay safe out there, people — wear your masks and remember…those little chlorine gas cards on lanyards will not prevent you from catching the ‘Rona! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

PCP is diving into the Real Housewives of Old Hollywood! Long before Bravo, these movie legends brought Oscar-worthy drama to Beverly Hills, both on and off the screen. They popped pills, drank like fish, and smoked like chimneys. They married, divorced, and feuded with each other and their own families-  always clad in diamonds and furs. This group was ruthless and wild, living by one rule only- NO. WIRE. HANGERS. EVER!!! This week’s cast includes: Mary Pickford, Clara Bow, Joan Crawford, Judy Garland, Olivia de Havilland, and Joan Fontaine.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

From the 30-thousand-foot view, you could sum up this week’s episode of 90 Day Fiancé as “Mama Culture ain’t having your privilege.” All of the Americans are running up against major obstacles in their host countries…and losing. Brittany can’t understand that she can’t be with Yazan AND be a porn star/cam girl/rapper/whatever she is. Kenny is, sadly, facing the fact that gay rights in Mexico are a good five years behind the United States. Jenny is about to get a dose of reality after she realizes that there’s no way Sumit’s dad is going to say yes to their marriage…the list goes on. Sadly, we’re back to circumcision-gate this week, and it’s just as painful as last week. Jihoon’s got porn on his phone, and his friends have his back. Cheese Dick and Melyza are…well, who cares. Shout out to @Stellaspills! Thanks for the voice message! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

We're so excited for the new season of the original Below Deck, and to get you as hyped as we are we're bringing you a bonus episode with last season's third stew Courtney Skippon. Don't let the RBF fool you, she's as sweet as she is funny and she's got loads of behind the scenes information that any true fan would want to hear. Check it out, and don't forget to tune in for our weekly podcasts throughout the season! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

PCP is reimagining RHOBH with the femme fatales of Aaron Spelling’s dramas! Long before Andy Cohen, this legendary producer‘s shows defined scandal, glamour, wealth and cat fights on TV. From Joan Collins to Heather Locklear, Spelling gave us divas that Real Housewives still aspire to be. This fantasy cast includes Alexis Carrington and Dominique Devereaux (Dynasty), Amanda Woodward (Melrose Place), Donna Martin (90210), Julie McCoy (Love Boat), Jennifer Hart (Hart to Hart), and Phoebe Halliwell (Charmed)- culminating in a season trip from hell to Fantasy Island. BONUS- We announce the winners of this week’s Twitter contest for Kathy Hilton’s RHOBH tag line!  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Ahoy there, maties! All aboard for the final episode of Below Deck Med Season 5! This week, we’re excited to welcome back the legendary OG of the Sea — our favorite guest Yo-Ho-Ho, Adrienne Gang! Adrienne was the first Chief Stew of the Below Deck franchise and was instrumental in the show’s conception. She’s full of behind-the-scenes scoop on the cast, Maritime Law, the very real need for Valium on board, and a host of strong (hilarious) opinions. We discuss how Captain Sandy and Malia sleep on a bed of lies, applaud Jess for telling those beasts to shut up and let someone else talk, and confirm that Rob is a roach and an affront to the human race. Let’s be real —  we’re seasick as hell from this season and are happy it’s over. Join us this weekend for an exclusive interview with Below Deck Third Stew, Courtney Skippon…and get ready to kick off a new season of Below Deck classic, returning next week. See you then! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

It’s Brad’s birthday and we’re gonna party like it’s a newborn’s first day home from the hospital (minus the sheep slaughter)! Whereas the fun of 90 Day Fiancé OG is watching bewildered foreigners be like fish out of water in the USA, The Other Way showcases the true obnoxiousness of the American people (your humble podcast hosts included). We will come to your country, flout your customs, reject your guacamole, and vomit at your sidewalk animal sacrifices. And that was just this episode! It’s hard to choose which American was most embarrassing on this episode — Ari, forcing Biny to walk home with the baby in the thousand-degree heat? Jenny, trying to give Sumit a ring before he’s divorced? Kenny, for jumping all over Armando for buying his kid a few bows and a snow cone? Deavan with her immature wedding fantasies? Brittany with her…well, just her everything? So. Many. Choices. We’ll let you decide. Tweet us at @KikiandKibbitz and let us know what you think. Feliz cumpleaños, Brad! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

PCP is heading to The Grammys with the Real Housewives of David Foster! This music legend and RHOBH vet is also the step-father of ALL reality TV.  Married 5 times and divorced 4 (so far), his wives include BJ Cook, Rebecca Dyer, Linda Thompson, Yolanda Hadid, and currently, Katherine McPhee. His famous family (whether he acknowledges them or not) stretches from Gigi and Bella to the Kardashian-Jenners... even Elvis Presley is somewhere in the mix! This is the RHOBH x The Hills x KUWTK crossover you could only dream about... until now.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

We’re in the final stretch, kids! Part 1 of the Below Deck Med Reunion is in the bag (and so are Jen and Brianna). This episode was *mostly* amusing, with the exception of the compulsive liar, Capt. Sandy, who continues to PISS US OFF. (We know we’re not alone in this!) Jen even provides hard evidence to contradict Sandy’s statement that she didn’t judge Hannah for not working in yachting outside of filming…Um, hay-lo, you said that in a recent article in Vanity Fair, lady! Andy does ask some of the tough questions (and Hannah does a great job of not answering them, too). Lots of areas remain to discuss—so tune in next week for our hard-hitting analysis. In the meantime, wear your life jackets and feel free to leave us a voice message at https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message. We look forward to hearing from you. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

It’s so hard to decide who’s the most irritating cast member on this episode: Ariela? Deavan? Cheese Dick? So. Many. Options. It’s definitely not Jihoon, who brings up the most important issue of all—Americans’ dirty anals. We agree that if we all had bidets, the world would be a cleaner, less-offensive place. This episode also begged the question—without botox, why don’t some of these women’s faces move (we’re looking at you, Deavan, Melyza, and Melyza’s mom!)? Even more important, do we have to move out of the country to save money on botox? Inquiring minds want to know. In other news, Ari and Bini have their baby, Armando and Kenny are the most beautiful couple in the history of the show, Devan and Jihoon don’t know how to wash a rug, Brittany and Yazan make no sense (duh), and Melyza gaslights Tim.

PCP is reimagining RHOBH behind Hollywood’s most closely guarded door and worst kept secret- The Real Housewives of Scientology. These power players feud in real life, but we’re bringing them together for cast trips to Clearwater and dinner parties from hell.  Current members include Kirstie Alley, Juliet Lewis, Jenna Elfman and Marisa Ribisi, while the formers (Suppressive People, “SPs”) are led by Leah Remini, Lisa Marie Presley, and TWO of Tom Cruise’s ex wives- Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman. Tom truly is the David Foster of Scientology. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Welcome to episode 1 of Kiki and Kibbitz’ new 90 Day Fiancé The Other Way podcast, featuring Brianna and our newest co-host, Brad! It’s been six weeks, but we pick right up where we left off—with Brittany in Chicago. We knew she was a dummy, but we thought she might be smart enough to realize that you have to file for divorce to have one granted. Her mom has a lot more sense than she does, explaining that there’s something wrong when your man wants you to delete your social media profile. Granted, Mama’s taste in wine is questionable, but she’s still the smartest person on this episode. While fashion has never been a strong suit of this show, Ariela’s makeup makes us question whether she might hold stock in Wet n Wild. In India, Sumit is trying to prove he grew a pair since episode 14. While it’s hard to understand what they see in each other, we agree that he and Jenny do actually seem to be in love. In Mexico, Armando finally introduces Kenny to his family and unexpectedly blurts out the fact that they’re engaged. The reception is muted, at best. (Turns out that crickets sound the same in Spanish.) Like everyone else, we’re cheering hard for these two. During these crazy times, it’s nice to remember that real romance still exists in the world. If you love 90 Day TOW as much as we do, tweet us at @KikiandKibbitz and let us know what you thought about the episode! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

It’s been a long, rocky, seasickness-inducing ride, but the boat is finally in dry dock, people. It’s the season finale! This episode felt a lot like dejá vu. The same charter guests that have been on the yacht for the last three episodes are still on board and still bitching about how long the food is taking to come out. But Z must be punking us, because she leaves a huge tip—bringing the total for the season to a whopping $171,500! Not bad for six weeks of scrubbing latrines and kissing arse. The crew is overjoyed, even pretending to be happy when Capt. Sandy whips out the fake award certificates she made for them with the 1998 version of Microsoft Publisher. You *know* she’s full of crap when she compliments Malia for her sense of humor. Jess and Rob drag us through the cringey dying embers of their ill-fated relationship.  At the bar, Rob is doing his best to make sure Jess sees him flirting with the guests who have “accidentally” found them there, sending her into an epic tailspin (again). Girl, move ON already. Despite lots of schmalzy music and insincere reflection, the crew finally leaves the boat and leaves us to move on to the reunion…and it looks like a juicy one! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

PCP is taking you back to the mid-2000s with this week’s #RHOBH fantasy cast: “It Girls of the Aughts”. Stacy, Nate, and Jordan dive deep into the pre-TMZ era, when Perez Hilton was like Andy Cohen, and Paris Hilton’s crew was his Real Housewives. The lineup includes Nicky Hilton, Nicole Richie, Tara Reid, Lindsay Lohan, and the early days of Kim Kardashian- plus friends-of and cameos. See you at Les Deux- or Promises Malibu!

It’s the penultimate episode of the show and Brianna and Jen are taking sides on Butt-Touch Gate and whether or not Rob is even worth the effort. Bafflement abounds when it comes to figuring out why Tom can’t understand what “No Pork or Beef” means...twice. We finally give in and admit that in the landscape of Below Deck, Bugsy is a pretty great chief stew. There are moments of analyzing Captain Sandy’s persistent hypocrisy, as well as some straight-up fan girling over Captain Lee and Kiko’s Watch What Happens Live episode. Don’t miss out! Only one more episode left before we get some real-time dish at the reunion. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message
