Speaker 2 (0:02) you Speaker 1 (0:15) Welcome back to Two Judgy Girls. This Speaker 2 (0:17) is Mary from the Bay. And it's Courtney from LA. You guys, we did it again. We made it to Friday, and that is just Speaker 1 (0:24) an exciting time right now. Weekend plans, anything? Oh, I have family in town and hardly strictly bluegrass is here, and I can walk into the park and enjoy. It's going to be a pretty nice weekend up here, so I'm excited. Speaker 2 (0:40) What about you? Nope. Big plans this weekend. It's nice. The weekends where you really don't have plans are some of the best Speaker 1 (0:47) weekends. Oh, I love a weekend that I don't have any commitments. Speaker 2 (0:52) Originally, I was supposed to be out of town this weekend. I was supposed to go to see family in Tampa. And then we had to postpone the trip. But I was thinking, you mentioned the other day about the Valley filming. And all the girls plus Zach are in Tampa. Speaker 1 (1:05) Feels super random. Was Speaker 2 (1:08) that where Jack's... Speaker 1 (1:10) Had a pretend job. Speaker 2 (1:11) Pretend. It was definitely real. Yes, though. Speaker 1 (1:15) Oh! What if Brittany planned this trip? Because Jax has been so crazy with his AI and going out with his publicist. Speaker 2 (1:25) That's his girlfriend. Girlfriend first, publicist second. Speaker 1 (1:33) But yeah, why do you think they're in Tampa? I Speaker 2 (1:36) have no idea. They're actually in St. Pete, which is a little bit outside of Tampa. It's just such a random location. It'd be pretty funny if they ended up at a hockey Speaker 1 (1:45) game there and she did social media for them for the night. Speaker 2 (1:51) I don't want her to give air to him at all. But then there's just something so like cheeky about doing that, though it'll send him into a rage. If the air is making fun of him, that's fine. Segway into the VPR world. We got to talk about Ariana, mostly because I got to cross something off my Speaker 1 (2:10) predictions list for 2026. Hell, us all about it. Speaker 2 (2:14) Ariana has been cast in a new show called Future Housewives that's going to be on Peacock. My prediction was that Ariana would get a series regular role. Now, I know she's on St. Dennis and she has a guest star role, but that's not series regular. Speaker 1 (2:28) This one is. Now, where is it going to be filmed out of? I don't know those details. I would just be curious because I feel like she's been in New York Speaker 2 (2:37) on Broadway. Yeah, yeah. I Speaker 1 (2:40) feel like L.A. I agree with you. I also heard some rumblings that maybe she was engaged. Speaker 2 (2:46) They've been saying that for a little bit. Remember that video that Daniel had posted that she had a ring on her finger? He kind of focused in on that. Speaker 1 (2:54) They're probably already engaged and just keeping it between themselves. They are so cute and private. When Daniel made March Madness, he asked to be taken out. And we were like, well, sorry, you actually have to be in it because the numbers and that's going to screw everything up. So we did make him be a part of it. Speaker 2 (3:11) We did tag him, though. Make sure it stayed away from him. He had to go search for it. Right, right, right. We're respectful. Yeah. Speaker 1 (3:20) But I do. I think they're engaged. She feels like just like so calm and confident and booked and busy. And what if they're already married? Maybe. I really am happy Speaker 2 (3:32) for her. Speaker 1 (3:33) Agreed. Agreed. Okay. Speaker 2 (3:35) The reunion seating chart came out and we got it. somewhat completely wrong, but a little bit right. Mary, please give it to us and surprise Speaker 1 (3:45) the center. Every single time. He's in the middle. Andy. Okay. Then to his left, first chair, Vicki Gumbelson. Next to Vicki is Shannon. Then it is Gina and Emily on the end. On the other side, next to Andy, Tamara, Heather, Jen. Carmella on the end. We have talked about Carmella the most this season. How is she on the end? Jen has no fucking storyline. This is crazy to me. I'm getting upset. I am. I'm getting upset. Are Speaker 2 (4:21) you okay? Speaker 1 (4:22) No, I think this is bullshit. If they're going to get rid of Carmella and leave some of these other people, I'll be upset. Speaker 2 (4:30) Yeah, be Riot. Jen and Carmella should for sure be switched. To be honest, though, it makes sense to me because now I think that Vicky should have been sat way lower because we need to punish her for being terrible. But I also am like, of course, they're going to give on the 20th season the OG of the OC. And, you know, he's going to welcome her either first. or last, but definitely first, how could we not start off with the one who started it all? The OG of the OC, Victoria Gumbelson. I love that. That sounds great. But you know, that's like what's going to be. We have to like recognize her. And I don't think we do anymore. I'm gonna be honest. We don't. Yeah. Speaker 1 (5:09) It's like we get it. We get it. Speaker 2 (5:12) Yeah, exactly. Emily deserves the end. Gina deserves that. What's always funny about this is Gina and Emily will never be a first chair. Never. In all these years, never. Maybe a second chair they got at some point. I think Emily was second chair when we got that flashback of this episode. But other than that, no. Right. Speaker 1 (5:32) Carmella Speaker 2 (5:32) deserves more. Speaker 1 (5:33) Did you see that Katie Janela video of her like cleaning her house and sweeping and trying to pretend that, oh, they're cleaning house like of Orange County after this season. She's like, Karma's a bitch, basically. Like she has an inside scoop or something? Or Speaker 2 (5:51) is just like general, everybody's saying, put the show on pause. They're all wearing black in the intro because they're going for the funeral of the show. Speaker 2 (6:02) I hope Vicki comes in and says exactly what you said last week, which is quit. I quit. I quit. And maybe in a few hours, we'll get an announcement about that. Speaker 1 (6:12) Maybe. Speaker 2 (6:14) Okay, Mary, I think it's time for our weekly segment of pleading your case. I'm going to let you go first again this week because unfortunately you did get the L again last week and I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It was Speaker 1 (6:29) close. That one was the closest by far. I think it was 51-49. And to be honest. Yeah, tell me. I didn't put a lot of time into this because I had a really busy day yesterday. So I just kind of whipped this up this morning. Are you accepting an L already? I've only won one Speaker 2 (6:50) time. I also did mine this morning. Speaker 1 (6:53) Well, you made it really competitive. Out the gate. Oh, I did. It's my fault. The first week I won and you were upset about it. And so now Speaker 2 (7:04) you're upset. So now you're giving yourself a Speaker 1 (7:06) piece of paper. Speaker 2 (7:06) I am. Like, Speaker 1 (7:07) I just whipped this up this morning. I am taking it personally. Speaker 2 (7:10) I think it's going to be your week then. Let's Speaker 1 (7:12) just get into it. Mary, are you ready? Yes. Okay. Mary, please plead your case. Alexis Bellino. You were a full-time cast member 12 years ago. Twelve. You got Shannon's man, you got married, and somehow you are still auditioning for relevance. Did you rent John's tux for him or did Tamara send the costume over with your invitation? Because let's be honest, did you come because you genuinely wanted to be there or because Tamara dangled a little camera time and you came running? Then? When you stormed out after five minutes? Girl, why did you even come? At this point, you are a puppet with a wedding ring and a five-minute contract. Bye, Alexis. Speaker 2 (8:03) Wow. Speaker 1 (8:04) Scathing. Speaker 2 (8:06) That was scathing, Mary. Wow. I don't know how I'm going to follow that one up. Courtney, please plead your case. Your Honor, this week I'm judging Portia Williams for the absolute disrespect she showed the Countess on Rehugget. First of all, Portia was two hours late. And Speaker 1 (8:25) not just to Speaker 2 (8:25) anything. To Luann's party. Speaker 1 (8:27) Two hours late. To Luann. Speaker 2 (8:29) At Luann's party. In her Speaker 1 (8:32) own town. Now, Portia. Credit where credit is due. I did see you with Law Roach at the Schiaparelli show this week. Speaker 2 (8:38) Perhaps that's why you were two hours late. Were you in law discussing future plans? Because that I could almost understand. Almost. Because according to Luann, you aren't even an OG. So you are a non-OG strolling in two hours late, disrespecting an OG at her party in her town. And because Portia was, again, two hours late, she missed Luann levitating. Levitating, Portia, for God's sake. The woman defied gravity and you couldn't get there on time. Now, Portia, you said we've enabled this beautiful monster. You call Luann obnoxious and everyone is annoyed because Luann wants to stand in the center of every group. photo in every city. Uh, yeah. Where would you like Luanne to Speaker 1 (9:17) stand? Speaker 2 (9:18) On the edge? Speaker 1 (9:19) That's not a Speaker 2 (9:20) beautiful monster. That's the Countess. And if she's being obnoxious, perhaps it's because someone was two hours late to her party. Put Luanne in the center of the photo and move on. Case closed. All right. So with Plead Your Case this week, guys, you can either choose Alexis Bellino from RHOC or you can choose Portia from Rogue It. You Speaker 1 (9:40) guys, please vote for me. Speaker 1 (9:44) I need a win. Speaker 2 (9:45) Need a win. All right. Begging for votes. Okay, let's take a break and we'll come back with Orange County. Speaker 1 (9:53) Okay, this episode was called Don't Look Now. Speaker 2 (9:58) I kind of like the episode name. Is that in reference to Heather and Alexis? What's it even Speaker 1 (10:02) in reference to? Yeah, it's in reference to John and Alexis Valeno showing up to the party. Don't look now. Speaker 2 (10:10) I was moosh mooshing. Speaker 1 (10:13) Okay, do you think she was ignoring Heather? Do you think she didn't see Heather? Speaker 2 (10:20) I feel like she didn't see Heather, but then she said she was blowing kisses. So unclear. When they walked into the party, it looked like there was a step and repeat there. That's where I saw Friend of the Pod Farai with Teddy. I did see Speaker 1 (10:32) that. It was nice to see a little sneak of him. But it looked like they were waiting in line for the step and repeat. Speaker 2 (10:38) Because the way that the camera had it focused, though, was that they were, like, staying away from the group. Okay, we're going to stand over here. But I do think that that was editing and that they were just waiting in line. And John waved. Speaker 1 (10:49) I think Alexis didn't see her. And John waves. And Alexis doesn't do anything because she didn't acknowledge her because she didn't know she was acknowledging her. And then Heather thought that was a diss. Speaker 2 (11:04) And Speaker 1 (11:04) then... Five minutes later, Alexis did do that ma-ma-ma-ma kisses. And she's like, I literally gave you kisses. So it's just like a major miscommunication, which is a perfect housewife fight, in my opinion. Yeah, go watch this week of Salt Lake City. Speaker 2 (11:21) Diablo? Speaker 1 (11:23) Or diabolical. Exactly. Speaker 2 (11:26) I Speaker 1 (11:26) also think Speaker
