Kiki and Kibbitz

In the New York equivalent of Atlanta-level shade, Leah invites the OLG downtown to join her for a “spa day” at a sketchy-looking Russian bathhouse. Of course, they’re terrified (and we’re here for it). Tinsley won’t hand over her jewelry to the clerk with the flimsy-looking safety deposit box and who can blame her? Jordan breaks it down for us…would you leave $200k at that front desk? Next, Dorinda gets an intervention, but turns it right back around on Ramona (who deserves it, but hello—defensive much?), instead of trying to pick up what they’re putting down. This iconic episode ends with Dorinda in full meltdown mode at a “networking party” at Ramona’s apartment and Sonja’s revelation that Ramona was fat-shaming her. Rate! Review! Subscribe! Share!

What is going on with Dorinda? No, really. What IS going on with Dorinda? This alcohol-soaked episode was 100% hilarious (as Brianna notes like 5 times—100% overkill). After a tour of her neighborhood of yesteryear (Grey Gardens says what?), Mrs. Medley spends the rest of the episode being drunk and disorderly, doing her best to replace Bethenny, but missing the mark completely. Her attempts to belittle “Tinsdale” are more pathetic than meme-worthy and we are HERE for it. Stay safe! Rate! Review! Subscribe!

All good things must come to an end and as much as we wish it didn’t apply to Survivor, Season 40 has come to a close. Fitting that they saved the best episode until last. Twenty Survivor greats took us on an epic journey and gave us their all. Join us as we break down the moves that led us to the Final Three and to our first EVER $2M prize winner! Thank you all so much for sticking with us to discuss, laugh, yell, and even sometimes cry over what is in our minds—the BEST show ever. Until Season 41...the tribe has spoken. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

JACQUES IS BACK and Luann's old paramour looks like he's back from the grave, as well. The Frenchman is also engaged and Luann "couldn't be happier for him." (Why did that sound so insincere?) She tries to help him kick off a comedy career, but no one is laughing. It was so un-funny, in fact, that we completely forgot to mention this on the podcast. In other news, Luann is drinking again and we're evilly delighting in her fall from grace. What is it about someone like Luann that makes you just want to knock her off her throne? (Maybe because she thinks is on a throne?) Her friends also seem happy, probably because they think it makes them look less like alcoholics, by comparison. And speaking of drinking, Sonja's not doing it--except for tea and soup (WTF?). Dorinda is a "full-figured size 6" and Brianna wants to rage text her about it. We look forward to next week, although neither of us can remember what happened in the preview (#WeedIsLegalInCA). Stay safe! Rate! Review! Subscribe!

It's coming down to the wire on this penultimate episode of this unprecedented season. Normally, the end would be in sight for one or two dominant players. Not this time. WAW is a competition beyond all its predecessors. So many strong, fast, SMART players. Players who have proven themselves to be the very best in the game. To win against these legends is no small feat. Net-net: Baby, it's ON. Who do you want to win? What's more important--social game or physical game? Overt manipulators, or puppetmaster from behind? Which EOE player will get back in the game? So. Many. Questions. We need answers like Jeff needs a blue button down and khakis! Stay safe, everyone. Rate! Review! Subscribe!

New York Fashion Week is here and we‘re front row for the sh*t show! Sonja’s clothing  line is coming together almost as well as her toaster ovens did. Tinsley relives her (faded) It Girl glory days on the runway, while Luann hijacks a hairdresser from the actual models. Leah receives the most passive aggressive cashmere sweatsuit ever, and love is NOT in the air for Dorinda and John.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Spoiler alert (ok, not really): In this episode, we stay consistent with our deep contempt for Adam, Ben, and Denise. (If you’re seeking fairness, you’ve got the wrong podcast, people.) On the other hand, Jeremy’s attitude during tribal council may have finally tarnished our blatant adoration. At this point in the game, the wheat is separating from the chaff. Some players are descending into madness (hello, Sarah!), while others seem to be developing strange, hypnotic powers (hello, Tony!). It’s coming down to the wire—looks like next week’s two-hour episode might be the epic last-chance battle for the exiled players to get back into the game. Listen! Rate! Review! Subscribe! Share!

Join us as we say farewell to Family Karma--we hope it’s only temporary! Relive the auspiciously rainy Roka and find out whether our feelings about a certain “mother-in-law to be” have improved or gotten rockier. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

We challenge you to name another show in the history of television that started with a drunk naked woman throwing a flaming tiki torch. Go on--prove us wrong. The party in the Hamptons was every frat party ever rolled into one, but substituting crazy drunk middle-aged women for frat bros. It's reallllly easy to see why Miss Leah "doesn't drink." Also "not drinking" is Countess Luann, who is spotted by astute Twitter users sneaking a sip of red wine. Sonja's "I'm in the Blue Book" meltdown is epic. We're amazed that she was able to up her game on the Crazy-Drunk-Bitch-ometer. Ultimately, we think it's arguably the best #RHONY season ever. Let us know what you think! Leave us a voice message!

Spastic, extorted, victorious. Whatever adjective you choose they all fit one guy this week. Tony may be nuts, but he makes for good TV. Join Brianna and Jen as they run through all of the emotions the resident jungle nut put them through. Please rate, review, subscribe, and share.

Join Jordan and Jen as they break down the sit-down between Monica and Anisha (with a little Bali tag-team action!). Next, they dive into the Aunty face-off between Reshma and Lopa. Winds of affection might be changing! Plus, is there a lamer dating move than feeding a hottie a cupcake airplane-style? (Spoiler alert: NO.) Rate/review/subscribe/share! Stay safe!

The sweet, sweet satisfaction of Adam FINALLY getting voted off--now there’s something Jen and Brianna can get behind! How did he even stay on so long, whiny little punk that he is? Does anyone actually like that guy? While this episode description *seems* like it should describe somebody and something other than Adam and his dumb antics, you’re just not getting that lucky today. Because after having a total psychotic break at Tribal Council, followed by the “is-that-an-immunity-idol-nailed-to-that-podium” fiasco, there’s just nothing more to say, except SMH.

Another artful episode of #RHONY, kicking off and closing with Luann grousing about her rooming situation at Ramona’s house. Oh, the poetic irony. Whether it was a subtle dig from Ramona or not, it’s still somehow soothing to see the Countess up to her old tricks. And although sober Luann is a novelty (and let’s face it, half of us can’t wait until she falls off the wagon again), at least we have sweet, drunk Sonja in full alcoholic swing. Like Jordan, talking about old money just makes her want to get shitfaced. (Is she looking for a new boy toy? He’s single.) And speaking of boy toys, Ramona is always on a stealth date and the girls are getting pissed. Is she searching for a new partner or getting lots of quickies? You decide. Either way, she’s a full-blown status-seeking bi-atch and Sonja’s had enough of it. She’s triggered, treating us to a full-scale drunk meltdown. Ahhhh, it’s good to be back. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

It’s family visit time and everyone is crying. Except Brianna. Because she’s dead inside. In this episode, we analyze one of the toughest challenges the game has ever seen and marvel that we were actually cheering Tony on (because Ben was our alternative!). On the other hand, Sophie is a hag. Jen says so, so it’s obviously true. Alliances are built and toppled in minutes. Tyson feels the pain and flips ‘em all the bird. At least he got his first Survivor family visit. Rate/review/subscribe/share! Tweet us at @KikiandKibbitz! Stay safe! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Join Jordan and Jen as they analyze the Key West trip. Is Shaan pretentious? Are we finally seeing the real Richa? And how in the world did it go from pole dancing to sucking a big bag of Ds in the Keys? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message
