Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick get engaged on The Valley. We love their love. Cocktailers knew Aaron and Jesse would be on the same trip and eventually get along...and it made it a lot more fun to watch this episode knowing that. Of course Janet's pissed that the trip is actually all about Luke and Kristen, and of course Jason is worried about his camera time. We've got tea on the possible new cast members of Summer House. And the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion aired this week. It was definitely worth the watch, full of juicy tidbits that we didn't hear on the show, including Jen and...

Our website, got a facelift! We're excited to get your feedback. Miami was explosive. One of the reasons we love it is that we see the show actually go deeper into these women's lives, their childhood, all of it. B had a mini heart attack about Steve and Marysol on a motorcycle with no helmet. Do we think Guerdy is doing too much? Is Julia? Larsa continues the fight without Lisa there, and tells the women why she thinks Jody is controlling. Julia and Guerdy have a blow out fight and Julie throws water on Guerdy - something we told Cocktailers about last year, but it was still shocking to see....

Cocktailers, we have a special episode this week. B and Amanda talk all things RHOM with a little about the Karen Read trial, and then Tracy and Amanda got the chance to interview Justin Anderson about his new show with Kristen Cavallari, , which is on E and Peacock. We love the show - like we said, it's like candy - we want more. And Justin spills the tea on his life, his career, and some crazy celebrity encounters he's had over the years. If you're not following Justin, follow him on Instagram at @justinanderson. This week's podcast is brought to you by our sponsor, Nutrafol....

B has a story about meeting (and having a blast with) a Cocktailer. What's next for Nene Leakes? Are we being pranked? Amanda shares more info about the Britt Eady lawsuit. RHONY casting seems to be coming together; which Peloton instructor may be joining the cast? Which reminds B of that time when she had a crush on Cody Rigsby...and the time where Amanda and Tracy had a question for B. Monique Samuels is coming back to Real Housewives of Potomac. Speaking of Monique, we have some tea. And Rachel Zoe is joining Beverly Hills! The vintage Bravo vibes are vibing!

Paige announced her exit from Summer House this morning, coming off the final reunion episode of Summer House season 9. We have thoughts on why she's leaving and what might be next for her. Amanda and Kyle shared that they have had struggles in their marriage over the last year - and we have some tea on how Kyle's behavior isn't exactly matching up with his words. Is it ever appropriate for a married person to give another person (of the sex they are attracted to) their phone number? How do we handle this situation in our real lives? Next Gen NYC is here and we are pleasantly surprised that we...

The Summer House season 9 reunion aired this week, along with it a few details about Paige and Craig's breakup. Do we believe that Craig had bought Paige a ring? Ciara shares about her family dynamic, and it makes a lot click into place for us. Would the girls have been more supportive of Lexi if she had taken the time to get to know them? We break down the Lexi (Dina Manzo's daugher) and Lauren Manzo drama. We have some exclusive Valley tea you won't hear anywhere else. Brittany finds out that Jax hasn't been paying the mortgage: We have two different reactions to this situation. The Valley...

Cocktails and Gossip is THREE years old! Thank you, Cocktailers! We start out with a tangent on what we need in our lives...from home organization to personal assistants who push us to get massages, lol. We have a RHONY casting update plus B has a prediction about Summer House. Amanda's been creeping on Lindsday Hubbard's stories to see whether there is evidence of a gentleman's things in her new apartment. Secret Lives of Mormon Wives dropped ten episodes, and of course, we need to make it about ourselves and the tea we dropped about Jessi Ngatikaura, allegedly, of course. Are these women...

Tracy is here and making us laugh, as usual. The RHONY whiplash continues into this week. We're hearing different things from different sources - listen to hear the tea. Love Hotel... and would we date a man who doesn't eat vegetables? Or only eats turkey sandwiches, lol. We have some WILD Real Housewives of Rhode Island Tea. And we mean wild. The Valley continues in its unhinged-ness. Do we see what Kristen sees in Luke now? Does Michelle still have feelings for Jesse? Should we be worried about Danny's darkside? B has a strong, possibly unpopular opinion about Brittany. And on Summer House,...

Bravo announced four new shows this week. You heard it here first, in some cases as many as three years ago, lol. But for real, it's a great time to be a Cocktailer and say, I told you so to any of the naysayers who didn't believe that there would be a Real Housewives in Rhode Island...Speaking of, we have more tea on another possible Housewives city that's currently filming plus theories on why we're still not hearing anything about RHONJ. And there's a big rumor going around about a Housewife moving cities...we'll share what we know. And we share why we find the picture of the RHONY cast...

The "send us tea" inbox has been overflowing, so we've got a lot of exclusive tea for you. Starting with the rumors about a housewives-style show filming in Chicago. And then we've got the Valley - where we both agree the show doesn't need Jax. And some tea about a certain scandalous ex bar star doing all the things to get onto The Valley. Angela is proving to be worthy of her peach on RHOA. Carl confesses he has a crush on Ciara on Summer House and it's not as cringe as we were expecting. Will the real Jesse Solomon please stand up? There are rumors about a big shakeup on Real Housewives of...
info_outlineThe Valley is back and there's so much to discuss. Cocktailers will see the Jax and Brittany tea we've been talking about play out right in front of us. Same with the Michelle and Jesse post-separation/divorce situation. Janet tries to make peace with Kristen, and we're right there with Kristen that we could see right through her "apology". We go on a tangent about couples - is it possible to have one spouse be awful and the other to be a legitimately nice person? The Atlanta aftermath is heavy. And did Porsha really, truly, believe that Simon was 100% legit? Last but not least, our post went viral and Bethenny Frankel had something to say about it.
