RHOC: A Producers Advice for Katie Ginella Feat. James Lee

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.Make sure to pre-order your "Housewives in the Stars" Tarot Deck to get FREE SHIPPING before September 15th!Visit:georgiotakounakis.com/shop Hosted on Acast.

Naked & Wasted Revisited: Orange County’s History of Alcohol Setups

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:Season 4Season 11 (Ireland Trip)Season 16My 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 👕 Hosted on Acast.
