Cocktails and Gossip

Two Cocktailer announcements first. The public podcast posts on the site have new sharing features — quote cards you can send straight to any platform, and buttons that jump you right to the moment in the episode where we're talking about it. And the merch store is back for the holidays: shop.cocktailsandgossip.com, or hit SHOP at bravoandcocktails.com. It's only up until around the first week of December so everything can arrive in time, so get your orders in.
Then: Georgia from Next Gen NYC invited us to a poetry reading at Jonathan Adler's store in New York, and B and Tracy went. B has thoughts about who from the cast did and didn't show up to support her. And once again, Cocktailers knew first: we have the full Next Gen NYC cast, including the newbie nobody else has named yet and the one addition we broke on October 24 that Page Six confirmed days later. We'll tell you who moved to Atlanta and who isn't on the cast at all.
Big EXCLUSIVE news from The Valley. A Cocktailer caught the cast at the Vegas airport with a camera crew, and we can tell you exactly who was there and three names who weren't. Then two DMs came in, and the second one is a podcast exclusive: we're hearing Luke quit filming about three weeks ago. One source insists he and Kristen are very much still together. Amanda is not so sure...this pattern feels familiar, all the way back to Camille Grammar. ,
We've also got exclusive Southern Hospitality intel from our Charleston crew, who have never missed: when filming finally starts, who is out, and who is getting demoted to group-events-only. Plus, Margaret Josephs went on Jeff Lewis Live and said a West Coast Golden Life is in development with RHOBH and RHOC OGs combined — and then we got an email telling us something very different about the whole franchise. We get into whether we believe either one, and how we're both feeling about Golden Life generally. Oh, and congratulations are in order for an RHORI cast member who's getting married in Positano.
Then New York, which gave us one of its best episodes in years (in our opinions, of course). We've got intel from a Cocktailer who took the viewers choice survey and can tell you exactly which cast members and which husbands Bravo is asking about, plus who they appear to be eyeing for next season... and yes, Amanda called it last week. Then we break the whole episode down: the comedy event, what went down in the courtyard afterward, Daisy and the party invitation, Daisy and Sai going at it again, Carole's very sharp observation about which of them actually defends the other, and the Pavit and Jessel conversation that we are genuinely worried about. One word: contempt.

We start with Halloween...B misses trick-or-treating, Amanda got teary watching the little kids, and she may have talked a friend into a whole couples trip to Charleston. Then the Bravoverse lost it this week. The In the City cast trip went to Tulum, Page Six confirmed the newbies we told you about a week and a half ago, and a rumor came out of the weekend that Kyle and Lindsay kissed. What we know and why this might be happening... Then the part that actually went viral: Kyle left a comment on one of West's posts, deleted it, and the internet did the rest. A thread went up, Amanda Batula weighed in on it, and then a Cocktailer noticed she and Kyle were no longer following each other. Amanda Batula went after B in the comments section... A former producer has gone on a podcast with a story about being almost run over by a housewife in a G wagon. We did a little investigating and name who it could have been. Also: Sutton posted a picture with a new guy she met on Bumble, and the internet did its homework fast. Doesn't look like a great choice, and  a Cocktailer who knows him personally had nothing good to say. RHOBH is shaping up to be a great season - big cast, and looks like there will be a big divide.

Surprise! B, Tracy and Amanda went to Fan Fest in Charleston! We tell you all about the hotspots we went to, the amazing food we ate, who we met, and of course, the tea. But first, our screenshot of Kyle Cooke's comment on West Wilson's post went viral. We have updates on what we're hearing about West and Amanda on In the City plus other casting updates. Talk about surreal moments, we interviewed Craig in the back room of Sewing Down South, and Tracy, of course, asked Craig if she could use his hot tub. We had so much fun at the actual Fan Fest event...the panels, the interactive exhibits, and chatting with the other fans made it such a fun day. We have a hot off the presses exclusive for you all about RHORI and why a certain castmate didn't go to Fan Fest. B has a very interesting theory about Daisy and Sai's friendship, and once you hear it, you won't be able to unhear it. There's been so much back and forth about what's next for RHOC. We have the latest and we think the "make us miss you" strategy will be enacted...but it really does make sense from all aspects for Bravo. Last but not least, the Next Gen tea: Emira's party, NextGen LA, and what's happening with NextGenATL.

Last BravoCon you gave us Shep talking smack and Lindsay Hubbard keeping the peace between Tom Sandoval and his ex, and we'll be ready. We start with the email we got about Kristen Doute and Luke, who the streets say have split. Nothing is confirmed and we're rootin gfor them. Next Gen NYC is updating their cast. Who's in and who's out?  Gia Giudice's restaurant is getting slammed online for being adults only. We both come down on Gia's side on this, even as moms. But there's one key piece of info that puts us on the same side. Could RHOC go on pause? And is Bravo soft launching Lindsay Hubbard for a move to RHONY? We're skeptical about this rumor, and share a few reasons why. And we're hearing more and more about a possible new franchise show at Bravo and possible new cities. Last, Bronwyn from RHOSLC is spotted on a flight, the model showing up in Kyle Cooke's videos, and our feelings about Tia from RHOP.

We talk exclusives for the first half of the pod! Including a new show that's been greenlit, what's been happening with Jesse McBee and his wife, Alli, plus we're going rogue from what everyone else is saying about Amanda, West and filmig iIn the City. Plus, we heard why CT wasn't in the Bahamas, and the "love child" Southern Charm rumor got a little louder this week. Whitner, we have a proposition for you. 
B educates Amanda on the phenomenon of "Will Diggers" or "Senior Chasers" who try to manipulate senior citizens to gain an inheritance. Here's the link to the country song B talked about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKpQRjj_WbU
The Real Housewives of Potomac premiere was a banger. Robyn is back and won't give Shmaren a moment of peace. Wendy tries to throw Eddie under the bus from her $200k G Wagon. And we are so sad about Tia...did she know? We have some theories about what might have been happening behind the scenes. Then the premieres. Potomac came back loud: Karen is out of jail and nobody in our DMs is happy she's back, Wendy Osefo is talking about the indictments while pulling up in a G Wagon, Robyn is not giving Karen a minute of peace, and Stacey and Ashley and the rest of the women drop something about Tia's husband at a picnic table that we are still thinking about. Did Tia already know? We disagree on that one. And on RHONY, the old Sai is back and Amanda thinks she's a hypocrite. We get pretty heated about this topic...
