Kiki and Kibbitz

Season 12 of the Real Housewives of New York may be over for Bravo, but not for Kiki and Kibbitz! Today, we feature Reunion part 4, starring none other than Elyse Slaine, cryptocurrency mogul and friend to the NY Housewives. In this candid interview, Elyse tells the story of the rise and fall of her relationship with the Singer Stinger (spoiler alert: she got stung). Hear what really happened behind the scenes with their relationship. Find out who else she has known for years, who she just met recently, and how she feels about them all. Far from a hate-fest, Elyse takes responsibility for her own actions and reflects on how it all skidded off the rails. It’s a don’t-miss episode! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Kiki and Kibbitz presents: The Pretty Corrupt Podcast! Jordan, Nate Saifer, and Stacy Noelle Conner go down the rabbit hole of fantasy casting for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Each week will star a different cast that captures a niche time and place in pop culture history.  This week takes us back to the Pre-OJ Simpson era. The Grande Dames of 1992. We have Candy Spelling, Kathy Hilton, Brenda Richie, Kris Jenner, Nicole Brown Simpson, and everybody's favorite friend of- Faye Resnick! Long before their daughters invented reality TV, these ladies were THE Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

On this week’s episode of Below Deck Med, we jump right in where last week’s left off—with the demon baby chef man throwing a big tantrum. While at one point, this might have made us mad, we’re so jaded at this point (is this the 100th episode of the season?), that we just see it as amusing karma for Malia, who’s scrambling to save his juvenile arse from himself. After Tom yells at Bugsy, Captain Sandy tells her off, too, for enabling the crazed Englishman. We felt so sorry for Bugs that we almost forgot why we didn’t like her before this season. But we were gleeful once again when the Captain put him on blast in front of the crew. She loses her composure and gets a little emotional. But serves her right—she’s lost control and they’re all going down with the ship. As befits almost every episode, the guests are horrific monsters who behave in ways that rabid dogs would find shockingly aggressive. Most monstrous of all might be Rob, however. The dude with the way-too-aggressive face is gaslighting Jessica by making her appear irrationally jealous. But is it irrational? Spoiler alert: NO. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

That’s a wrap for Season 12 of RHONY! Reunion Part 3 was Sonja’s time to shine. Though we know now that Century 21 folded, her digs at Ramona for fat-shaming her were epic. Andy is not above crawling on the ground for HW text receipts, but Dorinda and Ramona are at a stalemate in their friendship, and it’s hard to decide who’s worse. Luann gets a half-apology from Mrs. Medley (progress!), while freshman Leah is still *sniffing* out her loyalties with these ladies. Is this the final farewell for Dorinda, or a C U Next Season? Season 12 isn't quite over for Kiki & Kibbitz, though! Join us next week for a very special RHONY guest--you'll never guess who, but it will be JUICY. See you then! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Brianna and Jen cover all of Tom’s antics, Rob and Jess’s moans and groans, and the overall disgust factor of underwear hanging over your dinner table — but not before they do a deep dive into the hot topic du jour: Sandy’s Cameo video. Brianna thinks it’s a fireable offense, but Jen (no stranger to tin-foil hat theories) thinks there’s something much more nefarious going on. Join them and see if Tom is the only one in need of a 5150 or if Jen should get an adjoining padded cell. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Part 2 of the Real Housewives of New York reunion picks right up where part 1 left off, without losing an iota of momentum. Too bad Tinsley’s boxing coach wasn’t there to defend her against the blond pit bull. Even sober, Dorinda deflects, deflects, deflects, and then goes for the jugular. Luann is the voice of reason, which makes us wonder if she’s been kidnapped and replaced by aliens. We relive the hilarious drunken cast trips, as well as the middle-aged cougars pouncing on every man they suspect has “jeans full of magic.” Ramona once again demonstrates that she does not understand how viruses are transmitted. She also denies having had a full facelift (but Jordan shares the behind-the-scenes story, as always!). We laughed, we cried, we got wasted. See you next week! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Be it yutz, putz, dick, prick, or git...when it comes to Tom they all seem to fit. Brianna and Jen treat you to another ragecast. But this time, there’s yet another crew member pissing us off. As Captain Lee would say, the whole thing has us madder than pissed on chickens. Rob and Jessica are back on their love boat, but it only lasts as long as he’s not cozying up to Aesha. The brooding gaslighter runs so hot and cold that Jessica doesn’t know whether to pack a bikini or a fur coat for Bali. Malia’s decided she doesn’t have time to supervise Rob, but considering she only manages three employees that doesn’t say much for her leadership abilities. Maybe if she spent a little less time in the galley she’d have a few minutes to spare. Tom is the most deserving of our venom, considering that he won’t stop swearing after being forced to get up and do his job instead of enjoying afternoon delight with Malia. We thought we missed Kiko before, but now we want him back more than ever. (Note: Brianna had a bit of a sound issue with her mic--hope you'll forgive us this time as we fix the problem!) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Part 1 of the RHONY Reunion is here and the ladies are gorgeous and glowing (some a perfect bronze, others a jaundice yellow!). Ramona’s tone-deaf COVID antics strike a nerve with everyone, while Leah survives her freshman season as the future of the show. The stars of Part 1 are Dorinda’s rage and everyone’s drinking. We finally learn all about John’s shady business with Tinsley and Scott, and witness Dorinda’s jealousy-induced amnesia. What they can’t decide on is who is this season’s worst drunk, but our bets are on Mrs. Medley. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

The Potomac ladies are…fishing? Yes! And it’s hilarious. It’s like these women have never been outside before. That said, we completely agree with Candiace that bugs are unacceptable. (It will probably be the only time we agree with her, so let’s all relish the moment.) After the ridiculous finger-pointing fight with Ashley, Wendy finally sort of/kind of/maybe apologizes. She explains her perspective, which is legitimately complicated (because of her premature baby). Of course, none of it was Ashley’s fault. Ashley was gaslighted into bringing baby Dean after Michael made her feel like she’d be a bad mom for leaving him for a weekend. DUDE. But then we find out that maybe there was a reason he delivered this guilt trip—like the STRIP CLUB. Once again, the rumor mill is buzzing with allegations that this scumbag (we dare anyone to say they like him) has his iron in other fires, besides Ashley’s traumatized naughty bits. Can’t wait until next week! Hope you’ll join us then. Let us know how you feel about #RHOP this season so far! Tweet us or tag us on IG (@kikiandkibbitz both places). We look forward to hearing from you! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

This week's episode may not have been as offensive as the past several, but Brianna and Jen find plenty to complain about, starting with Rob. The brooding, faux-cerebral model's airs seem like an excuse to be lazy and toy with Jess's heart. Johnny Damon proves that money and World Series rings can't buy you class. And Sandy is more concerned about her breakfast than her 3rd stew's heart palpitations. What hasn't changed? Malia still sucks.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Viva La Diva! It’s the #RHONY finale and Jordan’s farewell is a moving rendition of Luann’s new single. Let it not be said that there is nothing we won’t do for you, dear listeners. This was kind of a sweet episode, as far as most of the relationships were concerned. Legitimate exception: DORINDA. Girl, we just can’t with you and it seems like the Bravo editors feel the same way. We also get treated to Sonja’s drag party (where she’s pissed at Ramona for bringing a straight guy—her sloppy seconds, as usual—and she takes the mic to let everyone know), Lu-man doing her thing as often as she can co-opt the mic, and Leah just…fitting in?! That took a turn! But in the end, it was an iconic season—one of the best ever. One big, drunk slumber party. And we’re here for it. Onto the reunion and then goodbye till next time. Sniff. Wild ride. Have a great week and tune in for #RHOP and #BelowDeckMed! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

AHOY THERE, MATIES! Double play this week—Johnny Damon and Aesha are baaccckkk. The American baseball player and his (er, ahem, cough, cough) charming wife are back on charter, ready to keep it classy, as always. After all, nothing says “class” more than your drunk guest staggering and falling in the first 10 minutes into charter, right? And speaking of class, well, Aesha might not have any, but she’s beyond welcome back to this shitshow of a season where almost no one is likable at all (Jess not included…who could dislike her?). That said, Captain Sandy and Malia are always there to bring the bitch factor. Once again, Captain Sandy, who has zero self-awareness, baits the guests to complain about the food. Next at bat, everyone’s got a problem with Rob, even us. He’s sulky and inappropriate and says all the wrong things to everyone on this episode. Malia, of course, seems gleeful to have yet another person to talk shit about. We wrap up the episode worried about Jess—hope she’s ok! What did you think about this week’s episode?

Brianna and Jen have finally chosen who they stan most in Potomac and it’s T’Challa! (And for two gals who are petrified of birds, that’s saying something.) They’re living for the shade from the African Grey and Karen’s stepping up her shade to keep up. But does Karen have a perch to stand on after that pink monstrosity she wore last week? Wendy comes in hot and no one is here for it. Plus trying to figure out who is the worst husband/partner proves to be a challenge because there are so many to choose from. Michael seems to be in the lead at the moment with more epic lows on the horizon. Give it a listen and be sure to share your thoughts! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

KK welcomes back real-estate legend, #RHONY icon, and our pick for the next Real Housewife, Laurie Cooper (a.k.a. Dorinda’s realtor)! Brianna and Jordan get the inside scoop on Dorinda’s surprise departure AND Laurie’s possible future on Bravo—maybe Housewives? Million Dollar Listing? Her own show? One never knows! We break down this week’s episode with all the highlights (Ramona and Elyse. Hannah’s Roseanne jacket. Luann’s hostage cabaret!) and forecast the future of RHONY as the season draws to a close. We definitely haven’t seen the last of Laurie... but hopefully this is the last of Ramona! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Some of you remember her as the first Chief Stew ever on the first season of Below Deck, while others know her from her recent Reddit threads clarifying some of the technicalities of “Maritime Law.” Adrienne Gang joins Brianna and Jen to walk them through everything from how Below Deck came to be (did you know she helped develop the show years before the first season?) all of the way to what’s happening during this fecal fest of a season. Was Malia out of bounds to go into Hannah’s bag and pull out her medication and take a picture? Was Captain Sandy obligated to fire Hannah? How real is Below Deck, anyway? Most importantly: would she do it all again? Get ready for some v-e-r-y candid opinions and surprising (and hilarious) answers in this super-sized episode.
