212. Love Island; Amanda Batula's bun; Amanda and West talking KIDS? Why is RHORI Liz so ragey? 06.06.2026 1ч 5мин

We're watching Love Island, as promised. We're not so sure about it yet, but giving it a fair shake. Everyone's talking about Amanda Batula's bun; we have theories about it. Plus two exclusives about West and Amanda, including what they were overheard saying about having kids?!?!?! Our theory about why West has been so quiet during the reunion. Cocktailers knew about West's "secret girlfriend", Meija, who apparently West was also in love with. Liz from RHORI is actually scary. But why the rage? B has a very interesting theory.

211. KJ and Dara ? Timeline Lies; Bailey Laid Ben Out; Summer House Casting Tea 30.05.2026 1ч 1мин

Breaking news: Did KJ and Dara break up last night? Here's what we know. The Summer House Reunion came in hot and never stopped. B has a theory about who actually leaked that Amanda and West were hooking up. Why was Amanda's reaction to West's nude so strangely gleeful? We've got a theory about that too. As expected the timeline is a main point of conversation (and contention). We have to ask, why would anyone put out a joint statement about their romance when they haven't been past third base? We're not buying it. Bailey completely laid Ben out and it's hard to argue with her points, especially after production shows the clips right after. We have casting updates for Season 11 of Summer House ... but things are always a little fluid up until the last minute with this show, so we'll see. And RHORI: Now we know why people say Liz is "scary". And we are still team Kelsey even though she's kind of stepping in it lately.

210. We're In the City; Did West secretly hate Ciara? More evidence that the timeline doesn't add up; Darkside Danny 23.05.2026 59мин

This week, we finally get what we have been asking for. The Summer House folks In the City. And what a wild transition from the Hamptons to NYC it's been. And, Bravo addresses the West/Amanda romance and Amanda and Kyle's breakup all at once. Back to the Hamptons, we see some evidence that Amanda and West were up to no good last summer. Did West do what he did to Ciara because he secretly hates her after fan reactions to their breakup? Back to In the City, Bravo and Cocktails was featured twice on the show. Once at the beginning regarding Amanda and Kyle's breakup and then again showing our post about Danielle dating a married man. But Cocktailers knew first, of course, all the way back in August of last year. The Valley is heating up again. Darkside Danny makes an appearance...but is it really just when he drinks that he acts like this? We are starting to question that. And why Lala and Janet's situations are NOT the same.

209. TWO exclusives only on the pod; What did West whisper to Amanda? The Valley of Man-Babies 16.05.2026 1ч 5мин

B went to the Vulture Reality TV Masterminds Awards event and has a lot to share with us, including what Kyle's reaction was to her, who she vibed with, and who she met. The next day the Jenn Fessler/West Wilson scandal exploded. We have thoughts both on whether it happened, and how Jenn and West handled it. And on this week's episode of Summer House: What did West whisper to Amanda, and why did production choose for us not to hear it? Real Housewives of Rhode Island: The offscreen drama continues to be as good as the on-screen. We told you a few weeks ago that Rulla's husband the cheating podiatrist is suing his ex-mistress for breaking the confidentiality clause from a previous lawsuit. Well, now, the mistress is suing Brian back. We also got some BIG tea (a Cocktails and Gossip exclusive) about the mistress that truly made Amanda's jaw drop. And on the Valley, we've got nothing but love for Nia, but maybe a little concern, too, as her husband Danny is acting like a man-baby. Plus another podcast exclusive: Which The Valley star just got more cosmetic surgery???

208. Met Gala Tea; What is "duper's delight"? Thoughts on next season of Summer House 09.05.2026 58мин

We start with some Met Gala tea to cap off Met Gala week. We were a little nervous for Ciara, but she seemingly avoided a wardrobe malfunction. Now that we know what we know about West and Amanda, was this latest episode of Summer House the worst yet? What is "duper's delight" and why is everyone talking about it this week? What was Amanda's motivation in going so hard for Ciara in her conversation with Mia? We have slightly differing opinions. Why we think Kyle truly was surprised when Ciara brought up a trial separation. Bailey and Carl: will they or won't they? We think they won't and explain why. Will we see Ben and Sabrina next season? We think not... This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors: -Hulu: Whatever it is you're into, Hulu has it all. No filler. No fluff.

207. We've all been bamboozled; Jennifer Lawrence, Academy Award winning sleuth; Dr. Dre on the Valley? 02.05.2026 1ч 1мин

We have been bamboozled, hoodwinked, swindled by Steven McBee. Will we even watch the show now that we know different? B got intel that the person who helped Bravo crack the case on who recorded the leaked Summer House audio was no other than Jennifer Lawrence, Academy Award winner and Bravo fan. West Wilson is enduring a family tragedy. We recap the other audio leaks and it just raises more questions. B reads a post that has been circulating called Amanda Batula and the Carrie Bradshaw Accountability Crisis. It gives us a lot to think about. Michelle from the Valley is dating Dr. Dre. What??? We have more info on how they met... and do we think he'd ever be on The Valley?

Exclusive tea about Jesse Lally's girlfriend and what happened off-camera that may have caused Michelle and her ex-boyfriend Aaron to break up. What we knew about Danielle Olivera and her married boyfriend...and did the producers of In the City know about Amanda and West's affair?

201. No más Miami? Secret Lives/Bachelorette CHAOS; New Girls Trip show? 21.03.2026 54мин

It's true, we're hearing that Real Housewives of Miami is cancelled. We will share everything we're hearing about why. And chaos in ensuing from Salt Lake City to LA due to the rumored domestic violence investigations against both Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortenson of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Trigger warning: Shortly before recording today, a disturbing video was released that showed domestic abuse. We have not been able to verify whether the video is real. And, then, literally as we recorded, the news came out that ABC has decided not to air this season of the Bachelorette. And earlier this week, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stopped production. Who made that decision? We've got the details. There's a new Housewives Girls Trip -esque show coming - who will be on it? And we're loving what we're hearing about the Traitors casting.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has started filming after taking a pause after the devasting news about Mary Cosby's son, Robert Jr.'s death. How will this affect the season? Will Mary film this season? Did we just watch the best episode of Summer House ever? Is Kyle being a bad friend by not investing in Carl's Soft Bar? Jesse and Ciara talk...and he apologizes, kinda. Dara and KJ - adding more context to what we already know about them. We're jealous of the 90s. RHONY started filming TODAY! And as you heard here first, Carole Radziwill is back! Wendy and Eddie Osefo were back in court yesterday...and tying this back to the reunion, Wendy's whisper voice is back. Karen's advice, while probably good, should not have been on camera.

198. Sending our love to Mary Cosby; Is Vicky hiding something? Is RHOM cancelled? B has the ick 28.02.2026 48мин

Our hearts are heavy regarding the news of the death of Mary Cosby's son, Robert Jr. We send Mary all the love. B is back in the country and ready to gossip. Will Shannon and Tamra's "brawl" from the Roaring 20s Girls trip carry into storylines for the 20th season of RHOC? Why is Vickiy filming with her son instead of her boyfriend? What's going on with Real Housewives of Miami? IS IT CANCELLED???? We're hearing about other new shows that may be in development for Bravo.

B is on vacation, so this week we have Tracy on the podcast joining Amanda. Charleston's lost boys continue to be messy. A slightly different angle on why we don't want to see Salley's "pick me" energy. Why is Whitner still single? Real Housewives of Potomac's reunion Part 1. Wendy is whispering - is this performative or is she a shell of her former self? And why didn't their conversation give us any confidence about their innocence? Amanda catches Stacey in a lie - did anyone else catch that? Angel can't seem to get out of her own way, plus what we think makes her a less than ideal housewife. We have some exclusive Summer House tea that will make you want to go back and rewatch the first three episodes of the season. It makes a lot of things make more sense, that's for sure.

Jill Zarin has been fired from her job on The Golden Life before she even started filming. The production company behind the new show let her go and issued a public statement about it, citing her recent video about the Bad Bunny performance at the Super Bowl Halftime show. And, later in the week, her stepgrandson came out and told some stories about her that continued to shed her in a bad light. When the Olympics start to sound like an episode of Real Housewives, we are seated..and we are seated for the story of the cheating Norwegian Biathlete. On Summer House, we're watching the demise of Kyle and Amanda's relationship. And we can feel the tension through our screens. We're so happy to see Lindsay back on our screens.
