Our family members are not always who we think. When Eleonore Richland exposed her father’s dark legacy, she vowed to clean up the family business – and hired her half-brother, Santino Reyes, to help her do it. But old habits die hard. In the shocking new third season, Eleonore reckons with what her father always taught her growing up: medicine is a bloody business. From Wondery, the makers of “The Shrink Next Door” and “Dr. Death,” Blood Ties stars Gillian Jacobs (Community, Love), Christian Navarro (13 Reasons Why), and Peter Stormare. Listen to all six episodes ad free on Wondery+ on May 9. Listen to Blood Ties - Strange Days: https://wondery.app.link/wplus/crim_bts3

Melissa is coming in HOT - Hotlanta, that is. It’s her debut Housewives episode, and it is just peachy. From Phaedra's impressive career to her “murky” pregnancy timeline, Melissa explores Phaedra’s success on and off the set of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. But today’s story centers on her previous husband and the father of a real-life angel, Apollo Nida.

While happily married and raising young kids, Apollo relied on Phaedra’s legal expertise when he asked her to bail him out of jail. But as he went on to scam and defraud people in shady business practices (a la Jen Shah - allegedly), Phaedra refused to continue helping him out, leaving Apollo in a pickle that was not nearly as fun as the one in her pregnancy photoshoot.

Rebekah shared three clues for the next episode: Music, Models, + Malibu!

Thirty episodes and one year later - it was the perfect time for Melissa and Rebekah to host a “Where are they now?” episode? Until it wasn’t. (insert Dateline narration here)

The ladies went episode by episode and updated one another on the latest news for each story. They revealed everything from show cancellations nobody saw coming (Farewell, Flip or Flop) to Hollywood connections, with an emphasis on the CON. (Looking at you, Rand!) Some episodes didn’t have anything new to discuss, but Rebekah and Melissa still managed to talk for nearly two hours.

The next day Melissa and Rebekah woke up to FIVE, count them FIVE updates, but it was too late. The recording was done. You will just have to take their word for it — and watch their social media where they will undoubtedly lament their bad timing publicly.

Melissa shared three clues for the next episode: Pregnancy, Peach, + Pickles!

Call your butler and ask them for a drink, because Rebekah is taking us down south today — right into Patricia Altschult’s stately home, where Whitney can be heard jamming on his gee-tar in the other wing. Try as she may, Rebekah was unable to find one charming thing about this show, but she did uncover a lesser-known legal feud between the show’s matriarch and her once friend, now nemesis, Cooper Ray. Rebekah vows not to discuss the more toxic storylines of the show, but don’t worry, Thomas and Kathryn’s mess seep right into this one because it’s practically unavoidable. Listen now, shower later!

There are no clues for the next episode, because Melissa and Rbeekha are working on a special “Where Are They Now” episode! Let’s look back at all the stories they’ve covered and see who has made the news (spoiler alert: most of them) and what’s changed - for better or for worse- since they covered the story.

Vanderpump Rules gave us LALA, but Melissa is giving us RAND. Randell Emmet, that is. Rand went from a young, ambitious film student to rolling with a star-studded entourage in Hollywood. He eventually had enough clout to win over Lala, but was less lucky in business than he was in love. He was known to use investors' money to pay off debts which got him in more than one lawsuit, and one very public feud with a man who refused to be short-changed. We are forever indebted to Fifty Cent for all that came after. Whatever you do, listen to this episode now, because on Monday it might be too late…

Rebekah shared three clues for the next episode: Palmetto, Friends, + Michael!

Rebekah leads us into new territory today; a real estate territory! But first, Melissa and Rebekah have to talk all things LOVE IS BLIND Season 2 - and they do. If you want to avoid spoilers, skip ahead to around 22:30.

Back to real estate. Tarek and Christina are stars of the hit HGTV show, Flip or Flop, which Rebekah feels is about as fun as watching paint dry, which is also sometimes the show’s storyline. However, she’s telling their story because some of the more compelling plot points in their lives happened when the cameras weren’t rolling. From a “gun incident” that perplexed everyone, to a capital S “Scam” that the Feds had to shut down, these two haven't always enjoyed such great curb appeal. Rebekah and Melissa pause to connect the dots between Tarek and Christina's past and present romantic partners which might leave you seeing double.

Melissa is watching “Adults Adopting Adults” on A & E, but don’t try to find it as it was recently pulled off the air due the creepiness of the very guy Melissa talked about!

Rebekah is watching Tinder Swindler on Netflix which reminded her of good catfishing podcasts:Sweet Bobby and Do You Know Mordechai?

Forget meeting the Barkers, it’s time to meet. Ms. Shanna Moekler, an accomplished performer and professional in her own right. From her early success in state and national pageants, to her time on TV + Film sets with the likes of Billy Idol, Mario Lopez, and Drew Barrymore, Shanna captivated those around her with her high energy, likable personality and of course, her undeniable beauty. She’s been romantically linked to Dennis Quaid, Oscar De La Hoya and Travis Barker, and while she has mostly stayed out of trouble, there was of course, some star-studded legal drama along the way. (Looking at you, Paris Hilton!) And because all our stories eventually lead back to a Kardashian, there’s some Travis Barker involvement to round out this rock star love story that went south.

Rebekah shared three clues for the next episode: Vanilla, Real Estate + Mountain Lions!

Catherine Oxenberg, daughter of the Princess of Yugoslavia, sort of made Princesses her brand. She twice played Princess Diana on TV movies, then was billed as a princess in the 2005 Lifetime reality show, “I Married a Princess.” But when she and her daughter, India unwittingly joined the NXIVM cult, she had to tap into her warrior side to rescue her daughter and shut the cult down. Listen in as Rebekah shares Catherine’s story and some bizarre details about how NXIVM operated at its peak.

Welcome to the 25th episode of CRIMINALITY - because loving reality (TV) isn’t a crime! Melissa shares the “stori” of a woman who has TV in her blood. Tori Spelling grew up in a life of luxury due to the successful shows her Dad, Aaron Spelling, created. But she went on to have a “Rags to Riches in Reverse” kind of story. From a measly inheritance to back taxes, and a couple pricey lawsuits, Tori Spelling was “inn” over her head financially. Today’s episode has a lot of nostalgic tv memories and a video clip you will never unsee!

For the next episode, Rebekah shared 3 clues:

TV ROYALTY, CULT, YUGOSLAVIA!
