We're so excited to welcome Melissa from @YourBishTherapist to the pod this week. Before we get into it, Amanda has an apology and clarification regarding a statement she made on the podcast last week. We ask Melissa about her thoughts on Kenny and Lindsay from In the City and learn about parental wounds and how they can contribute to the way people act everyday. Melissa has a surprising opinion on West and his lack of empathy. Parental wounds come up again as we discuss The Valley and break down the cast's motivations and behaviors, including what might be causing Nia to seemingly blindly support Danny at every turn. Kristen Doute may be struggling with postpartum depression, and Luke's not handling it in an ideal manner. Melissa can be found on Instagram, Youtube and Patreon at YourBishTherapist. For people who may be struggling with postpartum depression, call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA.

Happy 4th of July! What we're hearing about the big wedding. Part 2 of the Real Housewives of Rhode Island Reunion - we have some takes on Liz's announcement that she's not returning for season 2 and the Brian and Rulla of it All. Amanda looked up the court documents on Brian's divorce and all the dates Joellen shared on the reunion check out - plus some more details you might want to hear. What are Brian and Rulla hiding and why? Billy clears the air about Alicia's financial situation, which we appreciated. We're manifesting financial literacy for Alicia in 2026. Is Ashley hanging out with Rulla's family a strategic move? Next Gen NYC premiered and we're wondering if there will be any Next Gen NYC and Summer House crossovers because of some Cocktailer tea we have recently shared. Do nepo babies have ranks within the nepo baby word? We think so... And last but not least, we have some great tea about a possible cast for Next Gen London. Lots of boldface names included. We hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!

Congratulations to Danielle and Eoin from In the City on the birth of their son, Aidan. Sending them well wishes! B has a very funny story about how some juicy tea came together that didn't fully make sense...at first. But a public acknowledgement from a Summer House cast member put all the pieces together and made us laugh out loud. The Real Housewives of Rhode Island reunion part 1 aired this week - we have lots and lots of thoughts. We have a theory about what Rosie and Kelsey might really be fighting about. And while we didn't recognize her in the reunion, we have thoughts on where we'd like to see Rulla go next. Miami is still on pause but there's a lot happening down there. And unfortunately, our sad tea about Ladies of London was confirmed today. This was one we were really hoping wasn't true. And maybe the Southern Charm stars should try to watch what they say on planes? Or should we make Airplane Tea a regular feature? We have some for you. And B knows who owns Walmart, LOL......

This week we have so much Southern Charm gossip! West Wilson has officially been fired from Southern Charm. And the Real Housewives of Rhode Island finale ended with a bang, but Cocktailers knew about it. Why does Joellen keep letting Liz treat her badly? B has an interesting theory. A Cocktailer saw "THE VIDEO" of Brian and the mistress and described what was allegedly in the video - we share details. What's next for Rulla and Brian? Is Alicia's fiance trying to control her? Or was the "re-proposal" maybe just a bit last minute? On to Southern Charm. The gossip gods have been smiling down on us - we have a lot of tea to unpack with you this week. Was a Bravo and Cocktails post used as evidence in Taylor's breakup with Gaston? And could Scheana be mounting a new strategy to get back on reality TV? Or could there really be trouble in her relationship?

Tracy is here and making us laugh from the jump. Go Knicks, and go Bravo and Cocktails - because we're both having big weeks. Cocktailers knew that Jennifer Lawrence was the one who helped Andy figure out who recorded the audio leak from the Summer House reunion. Lots of people laughed about this and didn't believe us. But we were right. It was confirmed by Zaddy Andy himself - and have details about how it all went down. Tracy is Adding Kyle Cooke to her cart. Jesse Solomon has worked his way (back) into our hearts. Are we all buying into Amanda's damsel in distress act? Nope...co-host Amanda has some strongly worded thoughts on this. We've got intel on the new Summer House cast...and a theory that you're not hearing anywhere else. Tracy's thoughts on In the City...and what we're seeing for the first time on Bravo. And egg freezing ... why it can be life changing.

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.

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.

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.

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???

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...
