RHOP Season 10 Premiere | Stacey Rusch Caught in LIES!?

Georgio Says ·

2025/10/06

I’m back from a “this incline is illegal” Shenandoah hike and straight into my villain era, because whew—there’s a lot to say. We dive into the RHOP Season 10 premiere: Karen’s early release tease, Stacey’s TJ truth (or not), Ashley’s “Second Bloom,” the new girls Tia & Angel, and why that Kay vs. Wendy gripe ain’t gripping. Then we hit Miami’s reunion—Julia’s bombshell, Adriana’s edit, and the Marisol/Larsa machine—plus OC’s spring fling chaos: Tamra’s boiling point, Emily’s honesty, Heather’s

RHOSLC - Dismiss! Dismiss! Dismiss! Lisa Barlows...

Georgio Says ·

2025/10/01

It’s a new month and a fresh episode of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City dropped. I kick things off by clarifying yesterday’s Bronwyn post (relax!!) and why the sealed-case vs. “drag Lisa over civil suits” energy feels hypocritical to ME.Then we dive into episode 3 titled "Dismissed". Angie’s sweet moment with her dad, Heather’s empty-nester paint swatches, Bronwyn’s house-of-chaos with Todd giving major ick, and Lisa rolling into lunch with full-on poster boards to “dismiss, dismiss, dismiss.”

2025/09/30

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

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

Georgio Says ·

2025/09/18

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
