Criminality

Rebekah is not so reluctantly delving into the TLC waters today. When Melissa mentioned a possible cult connection for one of the couples on the current season of Seeking Sister Wife, it became clear Rebekah would need to dive in and report back. Even she was shocked by what she uncovered about a cult called The Alamo Christian Foundation.   Justin and Becky Ryan seem like a pretty average couple, at least on the TLC spectrum of rankings. But once Rebekah reveals just how central the Alamo Christian Foundation was in their upbringing, it becomes impossible to view their creepy behavior the same way. She explores the serious crimes of Becky Ryan’s step-dad, Tony Alamo, which include body smuggling and kidnapping, and examine the Ryan’s dating tactics - are they simply peculiar or actually predatory? And you don’t want to miss Melissa and Rebekah’s newest “segment” at the top of the show where they share what they’ve learned from Tori Spelling’s new podcast, MisSpelling. Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode: Melissa: Unlocked: A Jail Experiment, Netflix Rebekah: The Tourist, Netflix Melissa gave the following clues for the next episode!

“Extreme” really is the only way to describe the ABC show that sometimes blew up old homes to create new ones for deserving families. And sure, carousels and fountains in your home SOUNDS amazing, but when that bus moves on, sometimes families were left with astronomical electric bills and unfinished work in its wake.  Melissa is rolling up her sleeves for today’s story about Extreme Home Makeover, and she cautions you to put on your safety glasses  because the show’s host, Ty Pennington’s frosted tips are blinding. Between a few show reboots due to pending lawsuits and the need to tweak the show’s premise (families going bankrupt after the show wasn’t great for ratings), and Ty’s own brush with the law, this episode is full of nostalgic moments, a heated debate over Ty’s attractiveness, and a very necessary processing of feelings after listening to Tori Spelling’s new podcast. Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode: Melissa: The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys, Peacock Rebekah: Quiet on Set, MAX Rebekah gave the following clues for the next episode!

Love may or may not be blind, but six seasons in, Love is Blind contestants should be able to see the writing on the pod wall; this show is a mixed bag of questionable motivation and irresistible mess, served up in a gold goblet. 15 men and 15 women falling in love sight unseen and then committing to marriage in the span of 3 weeks — what could go wrong? A lot if you’re the network, production, or casting company. There are three active lawsuits against Netflix and their partner production companies ranging from “inhumane working conditions,” to “sexual assault” and “false imprisonment.” Is this just a case of bruised egos who didn’t get enough screen time, or part of the larger reality reckoning happening in unscripted television? Listen as Rebekah walks us through some of the more memorable Love is Blind moments, and the accusations against the show and its producers, and then you decide if love — and justice — are blind.

In honor of the final episodes of Love Is Blind, Season 6, please enjoy this rRE-PLAY episode about Nick Lachey, “of course. We will be back with a new episode and special guest next week! Nick Lachey hoped for a red hot career but as Melissa reveals in today's episode, it was only ever lukewarm at best. As the frontman of the boy-band, 98 degrees, Nick longed for a solo career that would take him to the next level. Meanwhile his future wife, Jessica Simpson, was desperate to step out of Britney and Christna’s shadows. This would be a marriage made in heaven — or at least on MTV’s reality show, “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.” Though Nick’s body temperature was normal, it seems there was a white hot rage that boiled beneath his frosted tip surface, and he directed it at unsuspecting people which got him into some legal and criminal trouble. Tune in for some iconic reality show moments and to hear Melissa and Rebekah’s rating of boy bands from the 90’s and early 00’s.

Fasten your shoe laces (and bolt your table to the floor if you’re prone to flipping them), because Rebekah is taking us around the world, but mostly to Missouri for this “rule breaking” and triumphant story. Ryan Ferguson is not merely an author, podcast host, and former Amazing Race 3rd Place winner; he is also an exoneree whose remarkable story captured national attention. While his appearances on two reality shows garnered recognition, it was the events of 2003 that truly thrust him into the spotlight. Oh, and the Holderness Family makes an appearance in the story.

A CRIMINALITY episode about the Amish? What could be criminal about this peaceful, private population who live off the land and eschew modern technology? Nothing. But no community is immune to the lure of making it on reality tv, and TLC’s Breaking Amish is living proof. Melissa is going to break down the difference between mennonite and Amish, illuminate the origin of the title “Amish” itself, but mostly she is going to introduce to a handful of formerly Amish young adults with dreams that led them off the farm and into some trouble. From addictions to adoptions, illegal acts to the illuminati, we’ll learn once again that the lines between reality and entertainment are blurred and that when it comes to these amish, there might be less breaking and more faking.  Melissa gave the following clues for next episode: Race Missouri MTV Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode: Melissa: American Nightmare, Netflix Rebekah:True Detective, MAX Follow us on social media!

Are you ready for some double trouble? Melissa has finally delivered what we - or at least Rebekah - didn’t know we needed! The twins, the icons, the sisters, Stacey and Darcey Silva - but mostly Darcey. Darcey loves love, is that a crime? Not all, but she fights as hard as she loves and that has caused her some run ins with the law.

Put down your shopping bags and pick up some boxes because Rebekah is opening up the storage locker and revealing all the Storage Wars secrets you didn’t know you needed to hear. Notorious bidder, Dave Hester, puts the WARS in Storage Wars. From his legal battle with cable network A&E, to a copyright litigation with a rapper, and by actually FIGHTING his castmates. Dave does not like taking NO for an answer, perhaps that’s why he is always and forever saying YUP?

Please enjoy this REPLAY of our Mary Cosby episode. We will be back in one week, November 23, with an all new episode AND a little holiday surprise! There is not just one thing about Mary Cosby, there’s many things. Alleged cult leader, wife and step-granddaughter, and total enigma. From her iconic burn: “You smell like hospital,” to the demeaning way she treated her castmates: “little GIRL,” Mary consistently had us scratching our heads.  But in today’s episode Rebekah will attempt to provide some much needed context as to how she ended up accused of running a cult and the answers, including an alleged suspicious death, might surprise you.

In today’s episode, Melissa takes us on a 90 Day Fiance journey and Rebekah has a lightbulb moment regarding the show’s title. J Lo’s love might not cost a thing, but newly engaged Anfisa needs a 10k Chanel bag at a minimum. Jorge Nova, medical marijuana curator, was smitten with his new fiancé, Anfisa, from Russia. When he finally convinces her to join him in California, things go from bad to worse when Jorge doesn’t deliver on his promises and gets into major legal trouble landing him in jail. Is love enough to keep this couple together? Can Anfisa get what she wants from Jorge and can Jorge provide the life he promised? You’ll have to listen to find out. The hosts also surprise each other with halloween costumes inspired by things they watched and loved.  Rebekah shared three clues for the next episode: California, Boxes, YUP.

Life has handed Orange County housewife, Shannon Storms Beador, more than a few lemons. But time again she has chosen to put nine of them in a bowl, and instead of lemonade, she prefers a GreyGoose with sparkling water and lemon. Perhaps that’s why many of us weren’t surprised by her recent DUI arrest. Even more surprising than the current headline is the fact Shannon has had courtroom drama dating back to 2003. From assault charges against her ex husband, David Beador, to multiple more recent lawsuits incusing one against a mega giant tech company she sued for using her face on diet pill ads.  Love her or hate her, Shannon has always put the good, bad, and ugly out there during her 9 year tenure as a real housewife. And while it may not have been *HER* plate (you b!) that night at Javier’s, you can be sure Shannon’s proverbial plate is always full with parenting her girls, running her healthy lifestyle business - Real for Real - and acting as one third of the RHOC friendship trio, “Tres Amigas.”  Melissa shared three clues for the next episode: Drugs, Visa, + Red Bag.

Cue the JAWS music, because Melissa is offering us 100% of an entertaining episode as she leads us right into the shark tank.  Fashion mogul Daymond John was an entrepreneur from day one; from selling handmade hats in his Queens neighborhood, to creating FUBU—one of the most recognizable brands in fashion. He was a great catch for ABC’s the Shark Tank where he helped hopeful entrepreneurs build their dreams. But not every business tail has a happy ending, and while Damon may not bite, he proves he will attack legally if you get in the way of a deal. Ex-NFL player Al Baker learns this the hard way and has to get a backbone to protect his patented boneless BBQ ribs. You don’t want to miss this groundbreaking opportunity — I mean, episode.

Try as she may, Rebekah was unable to find one charming thing about this show, but she did uncover a lesser known legal feud between the show’s matriarch and her once friend, now nemesis, Cooper Ray. Rebekah vows not to discuss the more toxic storylines of the show, but don’t worry, Thomas and Kathryn’s mess seep right into this one because it’s practically unavoidable. Listen now, shower later!

Kim Richards, the middle sister sandwiched between Kathy Hilton and Kyle Richards Umanski, went from a child star to a real housewife, and that transition was anything but smooth. Her life played out on and off the camera in ways that no one could have predicted. Burdened with the weight of growing up too soon, Kim struggled with alcohol which her sister Kyle made sure the world knew on the first season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Their fractured relationship would play out for seasons and included house stealing accusations and family fall outs. But Kim’s problems were more than personal — they were legal and criminal and played out everywhere from the Beverly Hills Hotel to a Target in the Valley. Rebekah delves into all of it starting with a tragedy in her young adulthood that would shape so many of her future decisions — for better or for worse. But no Kim Richards episode would be complete without a few moments dedicated to the RHOBH moments that still have us talking. We’re looking at you, blue bunny slut pig.

We hope you’re hungry because Melissa is serving up a whole meal this episode! She introduces us to a Big Brother duo (Mike Boogie Malin and Will Kirby) who take their strategic partnership out of the house and into a collection of Los Angeles restaurants…restaurants you surely remember from the early 00’s when stars like Linsday Lohan, Audrina Partridge and Britney Spears showed up to see and be seen. But the restaurant life wasn't all paparazzi and publicity. From Belly to Ketchup, Le Deux and The Lemon Basket, The Dolce Group’s restaurants faced multiple lawsuits with increasingly higher stakes, and Mike and Will’s conflict only escalated when The Amazing Race came calling. Despite their sweet name, The Dolce Group’s legacy will forever be soured by Mike’s incessant appetite for more money and his inability to take no for an answer.
