Bill Alverson Unplugged: Coach Charming, Insatiable, and A Sorority Mom's Guide To Rush

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.

Slade’s “Production Company” EXPOSED | RHOM S8 Cast Rumors

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 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Scheana Shay is EXHAUSTING | Why RHOC is Going OFF the Rails

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.

RHOSLC Season 6 Premiere Night | RHOC Reunion Seating-Chart Prediction

Happy Tuesday! It’s RHOSLC Season 6 premiere night and yes—we’re watching!

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.

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.
