Georgio Says is BACK. It’s Christmas season, the mics are on again, and we are diving straight into the mess: Jen Shah’s release, Wendy & Eddie’s legal drama, Angel eviction rumors, and the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast touching down in Greece.In this episode, I explain where I’ve been, why there’s been a gap in the podcast feed, and what I’ve been quietly building with my partner Jeff - our new frozen ravioli brand, Pasta Rituals. I walk you through how launching a food business has pulled focus, and how that inspired me to expand the podcast beyond just Bravo while still keeping all the Housewives chaos you love.If you’re watching on YouTube, please Like, Comment, Subscribe, and hit that Bell so you don’t miss new episodes.

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 loyalty math, and Gretchen dusting off Jeff Timmons like it’s 2010.

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.” Whitney’s napkin toss, Meredith’s non-defense defense, and a table of people screaming about five different topics at once—peak RHOSLC!

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. Watching on YouTube? Like/subscribe. Listening on audio?

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!

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.

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!Shop My Merch!georgiotakounakis.com/shop
