Kicking off with Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, I call out the double standard of dragging Lisa Barlow over civil suits while a cast mate’s sealed alleged criminal case can’t be discussed—what we know, what we don’t, and why the pile-on feels lazy. Then I stitch in my conversation with James to break down Orange County’s split trips: Tamra’s Temecula olive branches (strategy or sincerity?), Shannon’s stop-start trust, Heather’s Beverly Hills night complete with a pop-up paparazzo, Gretchen’s dusty studio allegations, and Gina’s growing confidence. It’s where both seasons actually are right now—messy, revealing, and setting the stage for Amsterdam and a spicy reunion.

I have a conversation with Bill Alverson, a pageant and rush coach, criminal/divorce attorney, and the inspiration behind Netflix’s Insatiable - to talk about Lifetime’s A Sorority Mom’s Guide to Rush and everything that makes it tick. Bill shares how TikTok led producers to his 30+ years of coaching, why he insists moms are present for safety and transparency, and how his legal work shaped his stance on believing women while guarding against weaponized accusations—no matter the gender or relationship. We get real about being openly gay in small-town Alabama, “passive activism,” family dynamics around coming out, and why visibility at home matters. He breaks down the show’s authenticity (no contrived drama), the ethics of coaching, body image pitfalls (and how to dress for your body), reading the room, basic etiquette (say thank you!), and real progress in Greek life for women of color and LGBTQ+ students. We also dive into the wild ride from Coach Charming to Insatiable, how his life split into two characters on screen, and what he wants next.

I’m recapping RHOSLC, “Law and Out of Order,” and yes—there is a lot to unpack but we are back!! We into the RV fallout (Heather’s empty-nest joy vs. Bronwyn’s honest mom guilt), a raw, compassionate check-in between Mary and Robert Jr., and the socialite party where Baby Gorgeous finally arrives and the lawsuit chatter explodes—who actually stirred it, who cosigned, and why the constant pile-on is tired when most of those suits didn’t stick.
We talk “being late” vs. call times, confidence being misread as villainy, and, of course, THAT “gout d*ck sucker” moment! We Need To Talk About This!

RHOSLC Ep 2 is on tonight and Lisa “Baby Gorgeous” Barlow finally returns. I react to the viral Rapture TikTok craze, and give a tight follow-up on my Grayson Entertainment/Slade deep dive after Slade Smiley popped into my comments. Plus: recording today with RHOC producer James Lee—that convo drops tomorrow alongside my SLC recap. If you’re here for the goods, watch live, then meet me back here.

I’m back and caffeinated, and today I’m unpacking three big buckets: the viral Kanye West–Kris Jenner documentary clip that’s lighting up timelines, the messy swirl of Real Housewives of Miami Season 8 casting rumors (hi, Bravo and Cocktails), and my full receipts-driven deep dive into Slade Smiley’s Grayson Entertainment LLC -yes, the “production company” Slade Smiley allegedly has.
In this episode, I break down what’s real vs. rage-bait on the RHOM rumor mill, why timing around reunion edits and early negotiations matters, and how “testing the waters” leaks - can shape casting conversations. Then I pivot to that Kanye doc moment with Kris - de-escalation, mental health, and why the clip changes how I view what the Kardashians didn’t show us for years.
Finally, we go forensic on Grayson Entertainment: the website tells one story, public records and credits tell another. I walk you through templates, placeholders, revenue claims, addresses, SOS status, and what it all could mean ahead of the RHOC Season 19 reunion (which frankly needs to be four parts at this point). Buckle up—this one’s packed, fast, and spicy. We Need To Talk About This!

I’m packing this episode with all the Bravo recaps you need going into the weekend. First, we head back to Orange County where Heather Dubrow uses Tamra as a stand-in for her father’s anger issues?! While Gretchen and Slade push an old story about Tamra from 10 years ago. I break down the shady “secret studio tape” rumors and why this whole storyline is giving desperate.
Then we jump to Miami, where Adriana’s “ratchet vs. wretched” slip spirals into chaos, Kiki’s cake stunt stirs the pot, and Julia and Martina’s family drama adds new layers.
Plus, I share my unfiltered thoughts on why Adriana deserves full-time status over some of the others.

Alright guys, It seems that RHOC has officially gone off the rails. Everyone’s dragging Tamra, but the real story here is Katie being scapegoated while production sits back and lets chaos take over.
Scheana inserting herself into this Gretchen mess? Please. And don’t even get me started on Gretchen’s rumored return. I break down why Season 19 feels like a witch hunt, why Season 20 needs to be handled with serious care, and how Bravo is losing credibility with fans who see through the overproduced nonsense.

Happy Wednesday! Season 6 of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City just dropped a supersized premiere and I watched it TWICE! I'm recapping the horror-film opening, the Lisa Barlow chatter, RV chaos, and why this season already feels unhinged (in the best way).
Also: I address the RHOC S19 reunion seating chart prediction backlash - why I put Katie and Shannon in first chairs, where Tamra fits, and why Gretchen stays at the end. We Need To Talk About This!

Happy Tuesday! It’s RHOSLC Season 6 premiere night and yes—we’re watching! I break down why Salt Lake keeps the bar high (editors, cast, production = clocked in) and react to the witch-hunt vibes teased in the previews. Then I share the RHOC S19 reunion seating chart predictions James Lee and I workshopped (I tweaked two seats), plus real talk on the Katie optics, Shannon’s follow, and why Heather’s paparazzi obsession + Beverly Hills zip code aren’t giving Orange County. I revisit the Natalie (ex-assistant) angle and why casting should tap her as a friend-of. We also hit the Wife Swap: Real Housewives Edition trailer, Jersey/BH timing tea, and more Bravo buzz.

Producer James Lee reunites with me to unpack the mess in Orange County, from the New Orleans trip blow-ups to that controversial Persian New Year lie-detector scene. We dig into why the group seems set on isolating Katie, where self-advocacy could change her game, and how an off-camera “blogger” cameo scrambled alliances. Plus - Gretchen vs. Tamra hospital-gate, Slade’s texts, Shannon re-follows Katie??, and how this all positions the cast heading into reunion (yes, we debate the seating chart). We also talk creator integrity in Bravo-land, why selective memory is suddenly epidemic, and what to expect as mid-season storylines pivot with Katie off most group scenes.

In today’s episode of Georgio Says, we’re diving into the freshly dropped Real Housewives of Potomac Season 10 trailer—yes, the women have clocked in, and the new cast members promise plenty of messy moments.
But first, I get something off my chest about a viral fashion-world job posting that offered just $55K with no benefits—sparking a debate on labor, privilege, and what it really means to value people’s work.
From there, we unpack Denise Richards’ messy divorce drama with Aaron Phypers, why Us Weekly’s latest RHOC “exclusive” fell flat, and what this means for the Bravo news cycle. Plus, I share my thoughts on the premiere date for Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 3, and update you on my brand-new Housewives-inspired tarot deck and merch drop.

In today’s episode of Georgio Says, we dive back into Orange County where rumors swirl that blogger Kiki could appear on RHOC—and what that might mean for Katie’s already rocky season. Is she being iced out by the cast? And why does Shannon keep getting a pass for behavior others get dragged for? I break it all down.
We also tackle Bravo’s scheduling chaos (seriously, what is happening?!), influencer entitlement (yes, asking for free biscuits is not a flex), and the latest Beverly Hills tea courtesy of Bravo and Cocktails!

In today’s episode of Georgio Says, I dig deeper into the current Orange County drama surrounding Katie, Gretchen, and Tamra—and why the infamous Naked and Wasted storyline from Season 4 isn’t the only example of shady drinking setups in Housewives history.
We revisit:
My take: context matters. These situations may look different, but the intention is the same—cast members trying to manipulate alcohol to get “good TV.” If we’re going to hold Tamra accountable, let’s also acknowledge Shannon and Heather’s roles in similar moments.
Plus, I give a quick update on the upcoming Salt Lake City-inspired merch drop 👕

In this jam-packed episode of Georgio Says, we start in Miami where Todd Nepola is clapping back at Alexia’s RHOM storyline, denying key scenes and even threatening to sue Bravo. Then we hop over to Beverly Hills where the ladies have been spotted filming in Florence, plus rumors swirl about Dorit & PK’s relationship.
I also break down the explosive RHOSLC Season 6 trailer (yes, Lisa Barlow’s new sound bite is already iconic 👏), touch on Tamra vs. Gretchen in OC, and give you my full first impressions of the Real Housewives of London premiere—camp, cash, and instant drama.
Finally, we dive into speculation about Katie Ginella, Gretchen, and Tamra on RHOC—is Katie the fall guy, or is there a bigger puppeteer at play?
