#157 Real Housewives of New Jersey, Season 11, Ep. 2: Licked Up and Down!
All the ladies accept Jackie head to Lake George...and Teresa couldnât be happier about it. While everyone acknowledges that Jackieâs comment about Gia was an analogy, they know that you donât. Mention. Teresaâs. Kids. In the van on the way, Teresa admits that Evan in her type (so was the rumor about jealousy?). Jackie stays behind to buzz her sonsâ hair and teach her kids that you donât have to be friends with people who donât treat you. (If only weâd all learned this earlier in life, right?) Frank and David go on a date. Melissa and Jennifer make up (weâll see how long that lasts!). Teresa blames the tequila. DM us at @kikiandkibitz on Instagram and let us know what you thought about the episode!
Trailer: Below Deck Saling Yacht Season 2!
#156 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 17: Reunion
Itâs over, people! My Seanna has dropped anchor for the final time in Season 8. It was no Real Housewives reunion, no matter how badly Andy wanted it to be. Chess wonât take the bait and acts like she and Rachel had put their problems to rest after the first two charters (gurrl, we saw the video). Ashling is just as boring and conflict averse. Elizabeth is dressed like a skater and calls Chess a bully (deflect, much?). Eddie wonât call Shane stupid, but somehow lets us know how he feels anyway. Rachel looks amazing, but it canât hide her crazy. Izzy looks radiant. Sheâs not sad that Rob didnât show, and neither were we. Jamesâ eyebrows look better than ours do, dammit! Somehow, they completely neglected any mention of the most poignant moments of the season, but we noticed (as did the entire Internet). In the end, nothing was lost, nothing was gained, but it was a fun ride. Stay tuned until the end for a big announcement. Suffice it to say, itâs the end of an era. Bon voyage!
#155 90 Day Fiancé, Season 8, Ep. 11: Three's a Party
Mary K. (@AngelasBraPurse) guest hosts on this episode. We talk sh*t about absolutely EVERYONE and weigh in on whoâs a good couple, whoâs likely to stay together (pretty much no one), and whoâs a major asswipe (almost everyone). We love Julia, hate Brandon (who blames Julia for the pregnancy scare), celebrate Yaraâs sarcastic humor, and agree that Natalie is probably a serial killer, even though *maybe* Mikeâs behavior was more suspicious than we previously thought. Even though we vowed never to cover Stephanie and Ryan again, we HAD TO, becauseâŠOMG, did you SEE this episode? We agree that Rebecca and Zied truly love each other, but point out that love is not enough to make a marriage successful. Throuples donât work â prove us wrong. Let Mary know how much you love her! DM her on IG or Twitter and/or Brianna at @NotThatBrianna (Twitter) or @KikiandKibbitz (Instagram). Feel better, Brad! See you next week!
#154 Real Housewives of New Jersey, Season 11, Ep. 1: C U Next Tuesday?
Where. Are. The. RECEIPTS? Tre's running around telling anyone who'll listen that Jackie's husband is cheating on her at gym. Will this be story of the season? Please tell me it is not, or I'll have to quit podcasting two episodes in. Either that, I or want to see the naked pics so I can verify for myself and count every freckle on his tight little butt (did I say that out loud?). Well, I can say anything I want, because it's my first solo podcast and there is no other co-host here to smack me on the nose and tell me to stop. Salient points: 1) Margaret and Jennifer suck, 2) I have fear-based alcoholism 3) I need Jackie's cute little ruffly pink dress 4) Is it time for bed yet? Lemme know what you think! DM me at @NotThatBrianna on Twitter or @KikiandKibbitz on IG.Â
#153 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 16: Premature Evacuation
Below Deckers, we hope youâre ready for all this. Itâs the last episode of the season and weâre in our pajamas, drinking, and just being who we are. How else can we cope with the aborted season, the COVID flashbacks, and the intersection of reality TV and actual reality? This is some heavy shit. After Elizabethâs departure, the crew goes to dinner and the poor girlâs cake arrives anyway. Rachel is irate that everyone seems to be dancing on her friendâs grave. Meanwhile â cake, people. Cake. The next day, after a failed throw-her-under-the-bus session with the Captain, Rachel decides to walk it off and try to work with Chess anyway. Ironic, becauseâŠthere ainât gonna be no more working this season. Itâs over. So what else can you do, besides start drinking? No one knows whatâs going to happen. Borders are closed. People are self-isolating. Itâs sheer chaos. In the end, some fences are mended, other relationships remain unresolved (despite some inauthentic efforts), and someone gets a well-deserved promotion. Itâs a wild rideâŠand the real-life ride still isnât over. In the end, thereâs not much more to say except, hopefully the reunion is a little more upbeat. Real life is hard enough. Right? If you want to see us in our silly pajamas, head over to the @KikiandKibbitz Instagram and have a drink with us. Cheers!
#152 90 Day Fiancé, Season 8, Ep. 10: The Devil's Work
If there are themes to these episodes of 90 Day FiancĂ©, this one would be either âStranger in a Strange Landâ or âThe Bloom is Off the Rose,â at least where it comes to the two Ukrainian women and their men. Mike clearly HATES Natalie. And it sure seems like Yara hates Jovi, too. Or maybe weâre just projecting our own opinions here. Another theme is âcute kids on FaceTime.â We loved seeing Harrey and Auri connecting across the airwaves. Zied looked so happy to see his niece, too. Too bad Rebecca wasn't as happy after the young blond bombshell (who came from where? we still can't figure that out!) started talking to her man. We don't even address Stephanie, Ryan, the psychic, or the hula hoops, for reasons we explain. Girl, BYE.Â
#151 Below Deck, Jessica More Interview (yay!), plus Season 8, Ep. 15: Don't Cry for Me Antigua
Thereâs More to love on this episode! Below Deck Med 3rd stew Jessica More stops by to hang out, spill just a little bit of tea, and tell us about her real life off camera. And yeahâsheâs just as beautiful and charming in person as she is on screen. Find out about whatâs sheâs up to now (hintâsheâs a chief stew!), who sheâs dating, and whatâs sheâll be up to next. But donât stop here! Go to the @kikiandkibbitz IG account and see the video interview. After that, we even get to a bit of this weekâs Below Deck episode. Oh, but, who really cares when youâve got Jess on the show? ENJOY!
#150 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1 Ep. 13: Season Finale
The season finale of RHOSLC is here! While Stacy and Jordan are sad to see it end, our Salt Lake City snow queens really bring it for their farewell week. Mary finally leaves her closet, and itâs pretty clear that sheâs never led a choir before. The Beauty Lab opening is a triumph and a spectacle- blush and bashful clouds, Meredithâs (pre-Covid) face mask, Lisaâs scheming and Jenâs questionable apologies. America finally learned what a stanchion is (thanks Heather and Whitney!), but itâs obvious that Jen didnât learn anything from the fights in Las Vegas.Â
#149 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 14: Hide the Salami
#148 90 Day Fiancé, Season 8, Ep. 9: The No Bang Theory
Brandon *kind of* confronts his parents, who practically self-destruct when they hear the news that he and Julia want to move out. His mom cries crocodile tears while his dad throws a fit because he doesnât want to be strong-armed by his sonâs fiancĂ©. Finally, mom concedes that âmaybeâ she can compromise on the engaged couple sleeping in one room (how benevolent). Jovi thinks Yara is lying about being pregnantâŠbut not so fast, party boy. Heâs mystified how she got knocked up so fast (one hint, dude: you had sex without protection). Stephanie comes clean to Ryan about her tryst with cousin Harris, but it turns out heâd known for ages. Andrew is living it up in Mexico and thinks nothing of asking Amira to go quarantine inâŠSERBIA? Rebeccaâs friend and former boss, Mel, grills Zied and makes Rebecca cry. Hazel and Tarik look for a brown girl who doesnât have bad breath.Â
#147 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1 Ep. 12: Sinners in the City
What happens in Jen Shahâs imagination, stays in Jen Shahâs imagination. RHOSLC x Vegas continues with an endless meltdown of circular logic. After HITTING Heather, threatening to drown Whitney, and trashing Meredithâs marriage (OK, actually, Meredith did have a boyfriend), Jen still feels like she is owed an apology. She is a victim.. of her own delusions? Stacy and Jordan are obsessed with celeb hypnotist, Kimberly Friedmutterâs, psychic energy- which is zero patience for Jen's psycho energy.
#146 90 Day Fiancé Season 8, Ep. 8: Unsure and Insecure
#144 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 13: James' Big Cannoli
This weekâs Below Deck was light on content but still managed to piss us off. Weâre sick of James and Elizabeth and their whole vapid âlove affair.â But these two idiots deserve each other. We start with James trying to make Liz jealous by ogling all the âfit birdsâ on Robâs IG. Eye roll emoji. Everyone gets antibiotics on this episode. Too bad they donât cure stupid. Lilâ Gigi the dog poops on the poop deck (ok, itâs not actually the poop deck, but you knew that pun was coming) but weâre not mad, because she is SO DAMN CUTE. Izzy gets a well-deserved promotion, prompting the guys to give her lots of sh*t ⊠but what did you expect? The crew spends a half day picking up trash on the beautiful island of Antigua and James is bummed because he canât drink while doing it. Francesca and Eddie are pissed off when James and Elizabeth spend the night in the guest cabin without permission. You donât want to see disappointed dad, kids. And when did Eddie become âdadâ? Next weekâQueen of Versailles!
#143 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1 Ep. 11: All Bets Are Off
Itâs Viva Las Vegas for the ladies of RHOSLC! Stacy and Jordan dive into this trip to The Strip thatâs filled with feuds and passive aggression. Itâs Whitneyâs vacation, but Mary wonât go, Meredith will think about it, and Lisa might find the time. Jen plays matchmaker with Heather and Big Daddy, then flips on Heather (again), questioning her loyalty in a shop full of $1k shoes. Whitney, Meredith, and Lisa hash it out at race track, where we learn Lisaâs driving skills are all Porsche and no bite.
#141 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 12: Blue Skies & UTIs
Some people may love her intelligence and wit, but weâre with Eddie on this â Rachel is a f*cking demon and an embarrassing one at that. Everyone has one of those friends, but itâs easier to ditch a friend than a fellow crew member. The crazy train keeps right on chugging through dinner as the foul-mouthed chef decides to talk shit about James RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. Elizabeth doesnât even really defend the shallow British douche canoe. Maybe James is willing to let go of his relationship with Elizabeth because of his bromance with Rob. They complete each other. In other news, the crew is dropping like flies, with UTIs and gastric distress all over the boat. Someone, quick â toss an antibiotic-filled life ring to this germ-infested group. The new guests arrive, bringing a less-offensive-than-anticipated little Yorkie with them. One of them is high-key flirting with Ashling, who somehow takes the bait. We. Donât. Get. It. The episode ends sadly with Captain Lee talking about the son he lost to an overdose. So very sorry for your loss, Cap. And no, it wasnât your fault.
#140 90 Day Fiancé, Season 8, Ep.7: You So Bad Boy
Glad to finally have a night alone, Brandon and Julia enjoy a naked romp in the hot tub, but apparently, they didnât cover their tracks well enough, because Detective Mom is on to them. Papa Ron is pissed off, too. If Brandon doesnât start working harder around the farm, his relationship with Julia just might not work out (wait, what?). Ziedâs cooking coffee in Rebeccaâs apartment while sheâs at work. He is so boring and so excited he see her again now. Natalieâs on the warpath because she canât find her ring, so she lets Mike know that heâs an obese, classless drunk with a low IQ. Let's see if she gets that ring now. Amira makes it to Amsterdam and we could not be happier for her (run, girl, run!). Tarik and Hazel only have eyes forâŠother women. Yara was engaged when she met Jovi, making us wonder what she did with the ring. Whatever it was, she should do it again and head back to Ukraine without looking back. Rate! Review! Subscribe! Share! See you next week! Fuck hold up a pepper
#139 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1, Ep. 10: In Hot Water
Itâs all about breakups and makeups on this episode of RHOSLC. Meredith and Seth are back together (and disgustingly affectionate)! Jen is still spiraling from the wine glass smash at Sharreiffâs party- her marriage is on the rocks and she blames EVERYBODY but herself. Heather is upgrading Beauty Lab, Lisa is âupliftingâ women, and Mary is still broadcasting live from her chaotically couture closet. Lesson of the week? A trip to the Manson family hippie spa can solve anything.Â
#137 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 11: Blood in the Water
Whose side are you on â James/Elizabeth or Francesca? Team Rachel or Team Eddie? What you answer says EVERYTHING about you (although what it says, exactly, we have no idea). One thing we can all agree on, however, is that Rachelâs seafood extravaganza puts all other vaganzas to shame. In other news, Delores jumps off a perfectly good boatâŠagain. Captain Lee is forced to endure dinner with the Karens for a second time. Izzy definitely has the âRona. And Rob clearly wants to get down with James. And no, weâre not drunk. We just want to lead the band.
#136 90 Day Fiancé: Season 8, Ep. 6: The Real You
#135 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1, Ep. 9: Hip Hop & Heartbreak
The latest RHOSLC is âshahbulousâ and âshahmazingâ! Mary is back just long enough to show off her 20K sq. ft. Â hoarderâs den and stir the pot against Jen. Has Mary been demoted to a friend-of? We learn that Heatherâs ex withheld sex as punishment, but Meredith and Seth are ready to get it on. Sharrieffâs 90âs Hip Hop party is a hit- until it hits the fan! Drunk Whitney slurs out that Lisa and Meredith fear Jen, and that Meredith has a secret boyfriend. Wine glasses get smashed and Heather runs for cover as Jen has her 90th meltdown this season.Â
#133 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 10: Steamy Vibes
Weâre back from our holiday vacation and wow â what an episode to come back to! Weâre lulled into a false sense of security with the vapid James and Elizabeth making out in the hot tub (yawnâŠthey deserve each other). Izzyâs complaining of a head cold (or is it the âRona?). Then here comes yet another gaggle of drunken charter guests, who consume the boatâs entire store of Moet et Chandon in the first few hours. You know, par for the Below Deck course. But just when you think it is (literally) safe to get back in the water, things take a turn to the port side in a way no one sees coming. Instead of passing out like a normal drunk person, charter guest Delores is suddenly swaying at the rail, asking for fish food, while the tux-bedecked Captain admonishes her not to jump into the water. Undeterred, she abandons ship in her party dress, prompting Lee to erupt in a series of curses. Once sheâs safely back aboard, the furious captain announces their charter is over. Is it? Weâll just have to tune in next week to find out.
#132 90 Day FiancĂ©, Season 8, Ep. 5: Whoâs the Boss?
Julia and Mike might be the only somewhat-normal people on this season. Julia is definitely TRYING, which is more than most rational people would do when faced with Brandon and his psycho parents. Although sheâs (rightfully) terrified of the giant pigs (theyâll eat your babies), she negotiates with the hens and stays calm, even when Brandonâs mom humiliates them both for the hickey on her neck. Mike somehow retains his composure, too, even while Natalie tries to control his eating habits, his drinking habits, and anything else she decides she doesnât like about him. So what if he thinks Godâs an alien? Let the man eat his damn tomahawk steak. Yara and Jovi clearly deserve each other, although we felt bad for Yara after hearing about her miscarriage in Croatia. Stephanieâs cousins are reacting the way the rest of us are, re. Ryan â shaking their heads in disbelief. Rebecca moves into some kind of crazy warehouse, while poor Zied and his family tearfully say goodbye at the airport. Tarik tries to convince Hazel that French toast is breakfast food (Natalie didnât buy it and neither does she) and wants them to get married in the spiritual center where Edward Cayceâs couch languishes behind velvet ropes. So. Much. Crazy. (Said in Ziedâs accent.) Big thanks to Jen for filling in. See you next week!
#131-Bonus Episode with Camp Getaway alum Dr Monica O'Neal
Harvard trained psychologist and Camp Getaway cast member Dr. Monica O'Neal joins Jordan and Jen to discuss the hilarity and heinousness of Hilaria Baldwin's trans-nationality grift. (We see you, Hillary!) We also reflect on the RHOP reunion and Monica's experience of being turned into a negative archetype she couldn't even recognize.Â
#130 90 Day Fiancé BONUS episode, featuring Usman "Sojaboy" Umar!
#129 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1, Ep. 7 Fashion Faux Pas
The Brooks Marks fashion show is here! One tracksuit- ten models? The ladies dive into their personal issues with a level of honesty that's rare among  Real Housewives. Jen nearly lost Coach Shah because of her anger issues (thank you anti-depressants), and Lisa won't slow down her career to focus on family (8-year old Henry is ready to have triplets). While Whitney struggles to keep her dad sober, Heather has a heart-to-heart with her daughters about divorce, love, and her self-worth in the Mormon church. Meredith is still vague about the status of her marriage, so Jen drops the bomb that M has a boyfriend in NYC. There's nothing that Prozac and a Hitachi Magic Wand can't fix here!
#127 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 8: No Way, Rosé
Itâs our last podcast of 2020, so, bottoms up, kids! On this charter, the guests are a cross between the Lucky Charms leprechaun and Rainbow Brite, once again proving that money canât buy you class. That said, they might not be as entitled as Elizabeth, who finds âworkâ an imposition on her aspirations towards enlightenment or James, who thinks âtaking work seriouslyâ is a sign of poor character. That is why they call it âwork,â children. But who caresâhere comes Rob, whoâs not only hot, but a brainiac, to boot. He comes from a long line of pirates and hookersâŠwho could ask for more than that? Maybe in 30 years heâll attain Captain Lee status (as IF thatâs possible). Happy New Year, everyoneâmay 2021 be a year where no one ever comes armed with only one bottle of rosĂ©, where we can once again travel freely, and where pandemics are just a thing you read about in the history books. Cheers!
#126 90 Day Fiancé, Season 8, Ep. 3: Bless This Mess
The hilarity level stays high in this episode (weâre still so grateful The Other Way is over â so depressing!) with three beautiful Eastern European girls suffering intense culture shock. Julia is stunned that Brandonâs mommy wants to spend every waking minute with them and interrupt what could be a promising bang trip. Yara does not want to stay in the bayou with her swamp boyfriend and thinks his momâs fricassĂ©e (which looks delicious) doesnât have tasty flavors. Jovi demands to stay at momâs overnightâŠprobably because he wants to get drunk and not drive home. Natalie is terrified of how dark it is on the way to Squim and finds his house cold and dirty (and appears frightened of his cat). Hazel is also overwhelmed by Tariqâs big house, which he thinks is clean, but has half-eaten food in the kitchen and clutter everywhere she looks. This week we meet a new coupleâAndrew and Amira. Amira is chic and French. Andrew wears funny hats and runs a daycare in Roseville, CA. This should be fun. We wonât be live next week, but will be airing an exclusive interview with Usman Sojaboy Umar! Happy holidaze!
#124 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1, Ep. 6: Sundance City
Itâs Sundance season in SLC and these ladies are busy! Lisa Barlow is in mogul mode coordinating a jillion events (self-appointed #QueenOfSundance), and Meredith is prepping for Park City Fashion Week (Park City has a fashion week?). Jenâs film premiere at the Shah Chalet brings us a Pump Rules crossover with Katie and Lauren from Utah- but the main event here is watching Heather get her groove back!Â
Mary NEVER fails to sketch us out- how do you not know your cousin/housekeeper of 20 years?? Also, how are Brooksâ generic tracksuits considered fashion?  How did we not see  that Brooks is like nails on a chalkboard before this? Â
#123 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 7: Runaway Chef
Oh, yeah. Sheâs a bunny boiler. Chef Rachel has gone full psycho. We knew it was coming, but we had no idea how far it would go. We recap the episode, and then we spill all the inside tea (more to come later in the season, so stay tuned!). On this episode, Sunshine sinks down below the horizon and he finally gets that plane ticket home. Somehow, Elizabeth â who turns out to be an incessant complainer â survives. There are no participation medals in yachting, LIZ. A cautionary tale about alcohol, kids: some people (like us) just get silly when they drink. Others (like Elizabeth and James) get horny. Still others (like the bunny boiler) go full Mrs. Hyde and get straight up SCARY. Who said this season was boring? Side notes: 1) Briannaâs sound is a bit wonky, since her power went down and she had to record on her phone. 2) If you hear ice cubes clinking during the episode, thatâs Jen, whoâs on her second glass of rum (ask her how big a âglassâ isâdare you). 3) And when you hear the ADORABLE accent and sexy voice, thatâs our number-one fan, King Willie, who finally left us a voice message! Virtual hugs (with masks on), our friends. Stay safe, stay home, and please take care of each other.
#122 90 Day Fiancé, Season 8, Ep. 2: Shame on You
#120 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1, Ep. 5: Ladies Who Lunch
Meredithâs marriage reaches a breaking point (Is she having an affair?? Will she make it work with Seth?), and Whitney is taking her dad to rehab.. again. Heather struggles with being the cool, modern mom and Mormon outcast, and Lisa FINALLY admits that she isnât perfect. LB may throw Rolexes out the car window, but she still deserves gifts âjust for breathingâ.
#119 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 6: Just Another Day In Paradise
Ahoy there, maties! Below Deck might be a little slow this week, but weâre as buzzed and enthusiastic as ever! That said, if we were charter guests, thereâd be no spilling red wine all over the gorgeous teak deck. Sit your puppy ass on the porch, peeps, because itâs just bad form. Rachel has lost her fool mind, but not quite enough for Jen. Weâd like to see a little more drama, but maybe weâre a bit desensitized after the shit show that was last seasonâs Below Deck Med. Captain Lee is as salty as ever, but can you blame him? UC Berkeley or no, Shane canât even count to four to properly drop the fenders. Thrust this, baby (visualize Brianna flipping Shane off). The Americans on the show are just making us look bad, but we promise you, rest of the world, lots of us work plenty hard without complaining. (Look, weâre podcasting on a work night!) Stay safe, everyone. Wear your masks and stay home or youâll leave Captain Lee standing on deck with his dick in his hands. Rate! Review! Subscribe! Share!
#118 90 Day Fiancé, Season 8, Ep.1 : I Think You're My Future Wife
Ahhhh, another season of 90 Day FiancĂ© OG! Weâre stokedânew season, new couples, new mess. And after the bummer that was 90 Day FiancĂ© The Other Way, itâs a welcome relief. First, weâve got a demon man baby whose mom is so involved with him that sheâs calling the OB-GYN to get birth control for her soon-to-be-imported Russian daughter-in-law. Next up, a cute Cajun boy who has the good sense to be nervous about his Ukranian fiancĂ©e (sheâs not sure she loves him, soooo). Rebecca and Zied are back (so mach beautiful!), as are the ill-fated Mike and Natalie. The common thread? None of these fools should be together (and weâre here for it). Anyone want to take bets on who will break up first? Seems like an excellent drinking game. Stay well, stay happy, and stay home, everyone! Leave us a voice message here: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message. See you back here next week!
#117 BONUS EPISODE: Jerry O'Connell!
#116 90 Day Fiancé the Other Way, Season 2: Season Finalé
Itâs a wrap for Season 2 of 90 Day FiancĂ© The Other Way! Unlike pretty much every other episode of the season, the finalĂ© was almost upbeat â and not just because weâre so relieved itâs finally over. Ari and Bini get engaged, Brittany gets smart and leaves Jordan, Jenny is happy with a promise ring (geez), Deavan looks beautiful in her wedding dress (try to forget how that story ends), and Kenny and Armando *literally* ride off into the sunset. Thanks to our intrepid guest co-host, Stacy Noelle Conner, and stay tuned for the return of 90 Day FiancĂ© OG next week!
#115 Below Deck: Season 8, Ep. 5: Champagne Wishes and Caviar Screams
#114 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1, Ep. 3
Itâs Thanksgiving week and RHOSLC is giving us a feast of drama to be grateful for! Heather copes with Mormon guilt as she plans a 5-mom baby shower, and Mary opens up to Meredith about her, umm, unusual marriage and wedding night. Brooks starts Vag-Gate against Jen Shah, and tensions boil over a canceled sleepover (Are they in junior high?). We get to see Preacher Mary in action at her church (that gold mic!), and Whitneyâs Roaring 20âs party that isnât very 20âs.Â
#113 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 4: Do Not Disturb
This week on Below Deck, we continue with Jax and Dax and Max (or whatever their names are â does it really matter?). Thanks to the slow pace of the interior staff, theyâre so wasted that theyâre basically two jello shots away from a jet ski accident. Lest you forget, those girls were LITERALLY starving. Someone, quick, tell them what literally means. And while youâre at it, explain what tipping is and why one should do it. The crew goes out for yet another ho-hum night, returning to the boat faster than any Below Deck crew ever. Maybe they bore each other as much as this episode is boring us. We close out the episode with Shane sleeping in his bunk while everyone else is working, sporting a âDo Not Disturbâ eye mask. Eddie sees him and stalks off, hopefully to tell Captain Lee and end the collective torture. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Stay safe, wear your mask, and consider spending a quiet holiday at home. Cheers!
#112 90 Day Fiance The Other Way, Season 2, Ep. 21: The Cost of Love
#110 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1, Ep. 2
Meltdowns on the snowy mountain tops of Utah! Jenâs party ends with a half-apology from Mary (Hospital Smell-Gate?) while Lisa and Whitney are just getting started on their tequila feud. Meredith (aka Brooksâ Mom) reveals that her marriage is on the rocks, and the ladies head for a staycation ski day at Snowbird. Weak skills on the slopes, but plenty of conflict at dinner over swingers and text etiquette. Does Lisa really radiate love and kindness? Is the thumbs up emoji a big F U? đđ
#109 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 3: Max and Dax's Excellent Adventure
Just in case budgie smuggling wasnât enough for you, this week on Below Deck gives us the gift of a naked woman covered with sushi (to which Jen objects violently, on the grounds that the human body sheds 40,000 skin cells a day. Whyâd you have to ruin it for the rest of us, JEN?). This episode is full of all the stuff Bravo is made of â muscle-bound guys with one-track minds, ditzy blonds, and entitled rich kids. Captain Lee has had it with crying stews, broken ribs, and Sunshine. Vodkaâs the answer, but an elusive one at that. The new guests are either self-made geniuses or *those* kids in your high school you always wanted to beat up. Weâve got a new stew and sheâs charming, but already exhausted. So yeah, weâve got even more crying in yachting on this episode. Grab your DramamineâŠitâs gonna be a bumpy ride.
#108 90 Day Fiancé The Other Way, Season 2, Ep. 20: Not on My Watch
On this episode, Jenny and Sumit find out that theyâre finally cleared to get married. Somehow, Sumit doesnât look thrilled. Is homeboy having second thoughts? Arielaâs parents visit Ethiopia and Father Ari seems shocked that itâs a third-world country. We wonder if he knows how to use Google. Theyâre ready to start chipping in on the bills, but not before they tell Biny that he shouldnât do what he loves, because he canât support his daughter in the style to which she is accustomed. Again, DadâGoogle is your friend. Itâs not like thereâs a booming tech market in Ethiopia and you knew he wasnât a damn lawyer. Weâre shocked that Yazan wasnât more pissed off when he shows up to pick up Brittany and Angela and theyâre effing WASTED. Heâs so eager to win her back that he doesnât even get pissed when she cuts off a lock of his hair. But the next day, he takes back what he said about being willing to wait a year to get married. Cheesedick and Melyza are a waste of screen timeâprove us wrong. Kenny and Armando are still our faves, but not as much as Daughter Hannah, who understands better than anyone that love is love. In South Korea, Elicia is on her way for the wedding, and itâs making Jihoon incontinent. Weâd feel the same way. Sheâs terrifying. Rate! Review! Subscribe! Share!
#106, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Season 1, Ep. 1: Welcome to Salt Lake City!
Welcome to RHOSLC with Stacy and Jordan! The Mormon capital brings us the most diverse Housewives cast ever, with Tongan, African-American, Jewish and Muslim cast members lighting up the screen. We have all the Botox, narcissism, garish designer clothes, and male strippers that we expect and need, PLUS Utah's Favorite Son, Brooks, and Bravo's first ever... Grandma-Wife? Granddaughter-Wife? What do we call Mary? Salt Lake does not disappoint!
#105 90 Day Fiancé The Other Way, Season 2, Ep. 19: Listen To Your Mother!
This season of 90 Day FiancĂ© the Other Way makes the Americans look even more embarrassing than usual, which is saying a lot. Brittany thinks that Jordan is the perfect place for a girlsâ trip, so she and her bestie Angela head to the marketplace, flashing lots of boob and toe cleavage. Girl, Yazan is already getting death threats...give that poor fool a break. Ariela and Binyam just refuse to lighten the mood. Ariela has reached full-tilt paranoia and is looking through Biny's phone for recipients of his ass-bongo treatment. Unclear whether she finds anything, but it seems apparent that this relationship is headed for dramatic self-destruction (and weâre here for it). Neither Deavan nor Melyza can move their faces, which is suspicious, since theyâre both too young for botox. (That said, we are sincerely sorry about Deavan's miscarriage.) Mother Cheesedick arrives in Colombia and the passive aggression is palpable. Meanwhile, Jenny and Sumit are spending their time playing some kind of undefined paddle sport in their apartment, trying to get through lockdown. They think itâs going to be extended for two weeks. If you only knew, kids. Warning: this episode is more offensive than usual, so donât let your toddlers listen. Stay safe, people, and weâll see you back here next week!
#104 Below Deck Med, Season 8, Ep. 2: There's No Crying in Yachting
Jen is literally drinking SKITTLES-INFUSED straight rumâŠthat should tell you a lot about whatâs in store for you on this episode! (And you thought that Brianna was the degenerate.) But now that we mention it, Jenâs liquor goes pretty well with the neon-themed dinner party on Below Deck this week. Poor Captain Lee is recovering from broken ribs, and now he has to deal with bears trying to f*ck a football and a sobbing chief stew. (Donât worry, we didnât understand that metaphor, either.) At least heâs not on service with Charley and his evil friends, who are never getting an invite to a Kiki and Kibbitz party. Weâre glad that this was a light episode, because the world is too serious right now. So lift your glass, you yo-ho-hos, sit back, and take a minute! Once youâre good and lit, leave us a voice message at https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message. Maybe weâll play it on next weekâs episode!
#103 Below Deck, Season 8, Ep. 1: There's No Place Like Home
O Captain, our Captain! Heâs baaackkkk and he needs his pants creased a certain way and his goddamn Cheerios properly prepared â got it? We kick off the episode with Captain in the hospital after falling in the shower. Eddie channeled our own anxiety ⊠we canât lose him, too! Izzy doesnât know how to make an espresso martini, which should warrant immediate dismissal. At least she gets punished with a face full of bidet water. Rachel the chef â whose Louis Vuitton bag, phone, and keys were stolen in the supermarket â promises to be an amusing watch. We can smell the shenanigans brewing in the galley. Weâre already one deckhand down, so the drama has begun. The Bravoverse is having a bit of a tough time adjusting to the absence of our gorgeous, snarky Kate Chastain. Chief Stew Francesca is giving us major Hannah Ferrier vibes, which is triggering even more mourning. Change is hard. However, no matter WHAT, weâre so glad to have a break from Captain Lurk from Below Deck Med, right? Leave us a voicemail and let us know what you think! https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

#100 Below Deck Med, Season 5, Reunion Part 2, featuring Chief Stew Adrienne Gang!
Ahoy there, maties! All aboard for the final episode of Below Deck Med Season 5! This week, weâre excited to welcome back the legendary OG of the Sea â our favorite guest Yo-Ho-Ho, Adrienne Gang! Adrienne was the first Chief Stew of the Below Deck franchise and was instrumental in the showâs conception. Sheâs full of behind-the-scenes scoop on the cast, Maritime Law, the very real need for Valium on board, and a host of strong (hilarious) opinions. We discuss how Captain Sandy and Malia sleep on a bed of lies, applaud Jess for telling those beasts to shut up and let someone else talk, and confirm that Rob is a roach and an affront to the human race. Letâs be real â  weâre seasick as hell from this season and are happy itâs over. Join us this weekend for an exclusive interview with Below Deck Third Stew, Courtney SkipponâŠand get ready to kick off a new season of Below Deck classic, returning next week. See you then!
