Kiki and Kibbitz

Relationships are front and center on this week’s episode of Real Housewives of Potomac. First, we see Gizelle trying to understand and consider her daughters’ opinions on her reuniting with Pastor/Cheater Jamal. (Spoiler alert: they’re probably right to be concerned.) Monique and Chris have some essential misunderstandings (she wants to feel loved and supported; he wants more booty). Candiace and Gizelle get into it (but you ARE a Gizelle monster, G!), while Candiace and Ashley try to mend fences. Although Karen *says* she’s working on winning Ray back, the Huger housewarming party looks much more like Fiesta De La Karen, with “Ks” everywhere and no “Hs” in sight. And absolutely NO ONE understands what Karen is doing in that hideous Pepto-Bismol colored suit. Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

RHONY has a lot of issues with pantalones in Mexico! Ramona is pooping hers (WTF), and Dorinda is rocking a pair from Roseanne’s sofa afghan (ICONIC). Dr. Singer sends a group text diagnosis for Dorinda’s anger issues, but Mrs. Medley’s prescription is the RadarOnline archives of Ramona’s bad behavior. Leah and Bunny remind us again that therapists don’t always make great mothers, and Sonja finally gets her big day in business (sans the toaster oven)! Maybe Ramona can design a line of Depends to sell at Century 21. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

It’s Below Deck Med time again! We know we’re not alone in our continuing rage towards Captain Sandy and Malia, but we have to soldier on, friends. (Kiko and Hannah would want that for us!) In other news—holy crap, these guests are straight-up disgusting. Seeing that fat old naked man running around with a baby-arm-sized dildo gave us PTSD and we will never be the same again. We debate whether Bugsy was scared or smug when she found out she’d be chief stew. But the biggest and best news was Chef Tom’s self-destruction, which is the best karma for the evil twins.

Mani from @MixingWithMani joins us this week to talk about Real Housewives of Potomac! This bubbly DC girl spills the tea and shares her special brand of insight with us. But insight aside, we *all* agree that Candiace is insufferable, Gizelle is shady AF (and we’re here for it), and Michael Darby is a POS. And no one is arguing with Gizelle’s daughters’ intuition about their father. If they are concerned about Mr. Chocolate’s character, well, Gizelle should be, too. Dr. Wendy comes out swinging this week and we find out that she’s as shady as she is intelligent and accomplished. In other news, Charrisse is still annoying, Monique is still a goddess, we’re sick of hearing about Ashley’s anal tear, and we love when Bravo breaks the fourth wall!

This week, podcasting demigod David Yontef joins us to share the inside scoop on #RHONY! After all, he doesn’t just *talk about* the Real Housewives of New York, he hangs out with them, honey! Find out who he thinks is as difficult as they appear, as well as who’s nicer and more interesting than they seem on TV. David also shares his predictions about the future of the franchise in light of Bravo’s attempts to be more woke and conspires with Jordan to gaslight Brianna about the scene with the shamanic ritual and the birds. (It HAPPENED, guys! It happened!)

What can we say? It’s another rage-cast! We *try* to keep it light by upping our rum consumption (you decide if it worked or not!), but it is what it is. And here’s what it is: MALIA AND SANDY SUCK. Malia has gone from prissy and annoying to scheming and vindictive. C’mon, girl, you don’t go looking for “evidence” in someone’s purse. And the way you told the Captain? Oh, hell no. You’ve lost us for good. Meanwhile, Brianna shares her girl crush (that arse, though!), we evaluate Tom, and talk about cabin-gate. Make no mistake, though: We’re #TeamHannah all the way. Let us know what YOU think—should Malia have reported this? Tweet or IG message us at @kikiandkibbitz! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Season 5 of Real Housewives of Potomac is building momentum, honey! Karen and Ray look like they’re headed for high-intensity drama. Hell froze over and Monique and Gizelle are attempting to be friends (let’s take bets on how long that lasts). Ashley has lost her fool mind and won’t leave the house, so the ladies throw her a party. Candiace (who peed on a stick for no apparent reason and is not pregnant--thanks for wasting our time) is there. Monique is PISSED because she had to dodge a warthog or a walrus (she’s not sure which). Ashley has a tear in her anus (thanks for the info) and Wendy might enter the shade contest. We’re here for all of it! We also discuss Bravo’s Race in America special, which we found outstanding. We hope you did, too. Let us know what you think! Tweet us at @kikiandkibbitz or tag us on IG with the same handle. See you next week! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Bienvenido al la sh*tshow! Dr. Ramona has a diagnosis for everyone, and sadly, she's not all wrong. Dorinda and her 3(00) wine spritzers, Sonja and her "water pills." Luann hops back on the camel and Leah is keeping the peace! How did she keep a straight face with Ramona's maternal *delusional* lecture? How did that waiter balance four margaritas on his head? How are we all not in AA just from watching this? We'll see you at a meeting soon! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

There just isn’t a nice spin to put on it, we are mad as hell and tired of the micromanaging.  Captain Sandy destroyed one of the sweetest spirits ever to grace the deck and it doesn’t look like firing Kiko is going to satisfy her power trip. Brianna and Jen break down the saddest goodbye in Below Deck Med history and talk about the conspiracy theories that are flying around about next week’s episode. Jen (infused with some liquid courage) fulfills a listener request, too, causing pigs to fly out of Brianna’s arse! Don’t miss it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

The Potomac ladies are back and it’s off to a shady start. Good thing nothing has changed, despite all the damn babies. Gizelle is back with her ex-husband, cheater/pastor Jamal, and we’re dubious. Once a cheater, right? Certainly once a hypocrite… In other marital news, Karen admits that her marriage is on the skids, Robyn and Juan are back--no, never mind. SSDD. Ashley and Michael are still gross, Candiace’s husband is still acceptable (for a Real Househusband), and she’s still ghetto fabulous. And, of course, Monique and Chris are still rich as hell and charming, to boot. (#relationshipgoals) What’s more, Monique can potty train a bird AND a four-month-old at the same time, while taking care of two bigger kids and somehow managing to look ah-maze-ing (nothing new there!). It’s off to a roaring start and looks like it will be an explosive season! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

We’re taking you on a tour of the *really rich* Real Housewives! Special guest, Chris, of IG’s @madisonhabersham, joins Jordan to discuss the Bravolebs who have the cash to match their flash. From fabric stores and family trusts to rose-filled villas in Beverly Hills, these HWs won’t end up on TMZ in foreclosure anytime soon. Cheers to champagne wishes and Botox dreams! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Let’s call this one #CancelRamona! Singer’s tackiness turns to cruelty as she attacks Leah’s mental health, then hides from her in NY AND Cancun like the coward that she is. Ramona greets the villa staff as her “servants galore," and we all hope that they spit in her ceviche. Luann shows a soft spot at her spa day for ex-felons and Katharine McPhee bangs. Dorinda has Leah’s back--but has anyone checked on Sonja?? There was A LOT more going on than rosé in her Coca-Cola. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

There’s no other way to say it: This week’s episode of #BelowDeckMed pissed us off royally. Sure, go after Hannah, Sandy. She can handle it. But leave our Kiko alone! (We’re changing our name to “Kiko & Kibbitz," ok?) This episode ruined any remaining tolerance or fond feelings left over from previous seasons. We’re done, Captain. Done, I say! Most everything else is up for spirited debate. Was Malia’s “rescue” overdramatized? Did Hannah sabotage Kiko? Is Jess getting scapegoated? So. Many Questions. See if you agree with Brianna or Jen (there’s only one right answer here…you decide which one it is!). Rate! Review! Subscribe! Share! Stay safe everyone! Air kisses!

Luann is now the Countess de Prison Reform after her one night in Palm Beach. Sonja’s a quadruple threat- townhouse renovations, Ivy League lectures (WTF?), 86’d from a gay bar, AND trashing Ramona’s Not-So-Sweet Sixtyteen! Singer came through with her 50 closest acquaintances, but Leah and Lady Morgan provided the entertainment. Let’s hope stomping on a mirror brings seven more seasons of good luck. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

It feels like Captain Sandy is playing a Below Deck version of Where’s Waldo, because she’s turning up in every scene. Kiko deals with the brunt of her hovering, on top of having to deal with Bugsy’s eye rolls over his sushi rolls. But It isn’t only Kiko’s skin that Bugsy is getting under. Even peaceful Jess goes at it with her, because she had the AUDACITY to ask her to try to enunciate more clearly over the radio. (We’re pretty sure you can guess who Sandy sided with in that bout!) Tensions also manifest between Malia and Rob, Sandy and Hannah, and even between the vegan demon and the poor innocent gluten-free pasta. Someone sage this boat, STAT! The negative energy has taken over. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message
