Not Skinny But Not Fat

Since binging Vanderpump Rules from Ep 1, Season 1, I didn’t understand what the hell everyone wants from Scheana. Why does she get hate? Why is she edited poorly? Why the constant montages of her in a negative light? (from saying Rob 5,000 times, being called boy crazy, crying all the time, calling everyone her “best friend…”) But this season was EXTREME – from choppy manipulative editing, to mak...

I’m joined this week by new VPR castmate, Danica Dow – and no that's not a stage name! This badass bish tells us all about what it was like joining the VPR cast, her relationship with the OG’s, who was most accepting of the new peeps, and who was not having it. What went down with her co-worker/boyfriend at SUR that got her suspended, and the many scenes she filmed that weren’t aired. I wish we sa...

I hope this doesn’t count as cheating, but I have the hottest Bravolebrity, Luke Gulbranson, on the podcast today. He joins me from the middle of the Minnesotan woods where he is – working on his lake house – true fucking story guys. This hot mountain man tells me all about how he joined Summer House, what the deal with Hannah really is, where they stand now, who he’s closest to in the house, and...

My VPR OG BB, KT (Katie Maloney Schwartz, that is) is back on the pod! A year later, a freaking season later, we discuss everything season 8 – the Kristen Drama, the second wedding and wtf is really up with that marriage certificate, Witches of WeHo, Stassi’s engagement, the new people (RANKED), the future of VPR, and future little Schwartzies. Not many people know this but KT loves celeb gossip t...

Summer House is all the escapism we need right now. Fire ball, hookups, fights, and fun in a Hamptons house. ugh . Jeal. OG cast member, Lindsay, is here to tell us all about her friendship turned relationship (for a hot fingerbang sec) with Carl, her new boyf, her feelings on Jules & Jordan, and why she thinks Luke and Hannah haven’t had sex. With only 2 episodes left, we get a proper Quarant...

Today I am joined by the breakout star of season 8 of VPR – Dayna Kathan. After resolving our misunderstandings – we might have almost had a *Mandy Moore* situation on our hands – Dayna forgives me for my bitchy story about her (can we blame my pregnancy savageness?) and tells me all about Max, Brett, how the OG’s welcomed her, who she is closest with, what she was doing before getting cast, and h...

This cocktail of pregnancy and quarantine is bringing out the worst (best) in me! I am prob as savage as I’ll ever be but tbh, I enjoy it. Arielle comes over to recap KUWTK aka E!’s new scripted show, VPR (my fave that is disappointing me rn) and RHONY. I also share which celebs I’ve unfollowed since #quarantine, and who I hate the most right now. Could be you. The Not Skinny But Not Fat Podcast i...

In the midst of this insane, apocalyptic time in our lives, we all need relief from anxiety. Some more than others, some with pre-existing anxiety, and those that have been suffering for years. Some of us are feeling an immense sense of doom, and some have been preparing for the worst of all forever! I have been very open about my own anxiety, and was very happy to have Alison Seponara, the therap...

Arielle joins me in hating on all the poor quarantined celebs we are crying for! How are they doing it in their giant mansions with huge backyards and olympic sized pools? We obvi have to discuss the quarantine crew hashtag Tyler C and Hannah Brown, who are spending it together in his FL house and ruining my life with more Tik Toks. We recap VPR, the wedding episode WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR (t...

The closest person to Bravo’s Andy Cohen, aside from his adorbs son Ben, is his assistant for the past 10 years, Daryn Carp, and she's here! She is also the host of several podcasts, and PeopleTV’s Reality Check. Daryn is obvi a Bravo aficionado as well, and even has time for the Bachelor franchise (thank god). After checking that she hasn’t traveled outside the country and forcing her to wash her...

Can anyone else not stand to hear that sentence from Vanessa Lachey’s mouth again? Thank god we don’t have to and the trending Netflix show “Love is Blind” has wrapped up (it’s first season of many probably) and Arielle is here to help me dissect it all, including the reunion! We recap the Bachelor, talk VPR season 8, RHONJ reunion part I of 3, and we have a surprise visit by celeb gossip pioneer,...

I had to bring on my male counterpart of Bachelor recaps, comedian Jared Freid! Jared joins me in discussing this entire shitshow of a season, how we think it’ll end, how we both hate spoilers, what we think about the new bachelorette and what we absolutely can’t wait to see on the Bachelor Finale. Also, I peed my pants. Bring a change of undies and enjoy. This episode was brought to you by: Ritua...

Hannah Berner makes an NSBNF encore and sits down to talk to me about the sizzling hot new season of Summer House and her sizzling hot new cast mate and potential lover on the show, Luke. I try to get Hannah to talk some shit about everyone on the show, and we also discuss our mutual love, VPR, and how she’s currently hustling as a stand up comic.  This episode was brought to you by: Ritual Essent...

Arielle is on the pod and won’t STFU about how all the girls on The Bachelor already have a gazillion followers and WE DON’T GET IT. Also, peter is a whiny and needy bachelor and we discuss his spotting on a very famous celeb’s story. Does that mean he’s single? We talk about our predictions for the finale, and recap last week’s episode. I discuss VPR and how newbie Dayna is weirdly the main event...

This is undoubtedly one of the worst seasons of the Bachelor but you know I’m watching and commenting like it’s my damn job. Someone needs to call out these thirst monsters! However, Peter did make some shocking cuts this week, all while looking so worried and just sad, like can you be happy all these girls want to bone you or nah? The Vandy cast is still celebrating Jax and Brittany’s Bachelor/et...

Wow, Justin Beiber’s 'Seasons' and Taylor Swift’s 'Miss Americana' out at the same time [insert mind blown emoji], so you can’t help but compare – and of course, we do. Sistager, Arielle, makes a comeback to discuss the most boring season in the history of The Bachelor, VPR and how it’s changed since the first seasons, Tyler C’s new (and odd) endeavor, Stormi World, and other important stuff.  Thi...

Celebrity hairstylist (slash British model) Chris Appleton comes on the pod to tell us all about how he became the go-to-guy for celeb hair; J.Lo, Kim K, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, Katy Perry and many other A listers trust his hands. Why does he think being British and hot has nothing to do with it? What did he think about J.Lo’s Golden Globes dress? Does he think pink hair is passé? Was Kim’s blond...

This season of RHONJ is freaking iconic. From hair pulling to crying at the dinner table with Nono, I’m living for the ladies outside of the city. Newest Jersey housewife, Jackie Goldschneider gets real on the pod and tells us what she thinks about Danielle leaving the show, what she would have done if she had pulled her hair, the beef between them we don’t even know about, and so much more.  This...

I can’t believe the day has come, that I am watching Vanderpump Rules with the rest of the world. Ever since I wrapped up my 7 season binge a few months ago, I have been waiting for season 8 like crazy!  Bravo’s official podcast, The Daily Dish , asked me to come on and recap the first episode and I couldn’t have been more excited to come on as a HASHTAG VPR AMBASSADOR / EXPERT. I freaking loved t...

Finally, there’s p(r)oo(f)sh (lol – I tried) that Younes and Kourt are back together, and perhaps Kendall and Ben Simmons as well. Wilmer Valderrama broke our hearts by getting engaged, and not to Demi Lovato. Tyler C and Matt James thirst update, JB & Selena come out with new music almost at the same time, and Cameron Diaz had a baby but no one knows where it came from. This episode was broug...

Instagram is where it all goes down my friends: Justin Timberlake posted an apology to his “beautiful wife” and admitted to being a drunken mess, but said nothing happened with his co star – but….go see the movie! Lolz. Cardi B storied actual porn on her Instagram, and MY EYES!!!!!! Sistager and I chat about our sisters, the Kardashians, and our fave Bachelor Nation couple.  This episode was broug...
