Transcript

[Andy Cohen]

Welcome to the Bravo Clubhouse for the podcast edition of Watch what Happens live with me, Andy Cohen. She sang the world's most awkward ballad, and she just wants Earl to eat a salad. It's Watch It Happens live with Drew Sidora and Shannon Storms Beador. Now welcome to what's it novidslive, everybody. I'm Andy Cohen in the Bravo Clubhouse on a Sunday night. Please welcome my first guest, Real Housewife of Atlanta, Drew Sedora. And give it up for my next guest from Bravo's Love Hotel, Shannon Storms Mador. Okay, want to get right into tonight? Well, we just came out of Love Hotel, so let's start there. Well, actually, before we start, I got to introduce Sophie Beador. And Mark is here from Love Hotel. Now, should I be reading something that you brought Mark tonight?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Okay, first of all, I am such close friends with so many of the men, and I think I see Mark and Phil and Adam all the time. I see you, like, once every couple months.

[Andy Cohen]

Ok. I was going for you, Shannon, if it wasn't for Earl stepping on my car.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

After last night's episode, I'm not number three.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay. Wow. So there's hope. There you go, Shannon, after the ladies said there might be something else behind Earl confronting you for not canceling dinner and going out with the ladies, do you. What do you think it was?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

I think. You see, I'm shocked at how I physically was shaking because it was crazy to me. Not only did I ask Earl if his house was gonna be safe, but I asked my mother and CFO Steve to check the weather as well. And how am I supposed to know a tornado can move and go to your other house? Like, honestly, do you regret inviting him.

[Andy Cohen]

Into the hotel room that night? That seemed like such a big move for you. It was. So that's why it was.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

But, you know, when you're there and you're there for a confined amount of time, I wanted to get to know him. Ye going away with the guy for a weekend, that's when you know it's not gonna work.

[Andy Cohen]

This is a good one. Dustin Cohen said, why was it such an issue that Earl was dancing with his shirt unbuttoned? We've seen you dancing dressed as a drag queen, drag king, circus performer, and even as Gina Kirschenheiter without an issue.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Well, I had clothes on.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

But, you know, all the power to Earl that he feels comfortable that way. I mean, you see, in this episode, Luann says, put your shirt on, James. Like some people. Just, you know, I thought it was. But good for him that he has the confidence to do that.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay, let's talk about Atlanta. First of all, I loved two things about this episode that I loved were I loved how you all rallied around Shamia at the end of the episode, even with everything you two had going on. I mean, it was just nice to see. Yes, yes.

[Drew Sidora]

That's the sisterhood at play, right? You know, we fight hard, but with that happening, you know, we know the story and what she's been dealing with with Shiloh, it's like all the drama stops at that moment. You know, we're still. And we have to still love on each other. You know, life is hard for everybody.

[Andy Cohen]

I also loved seeing you and Portia come together on tonight's episode.

[Drew Sidora]

Yeah, we kind of did, right?

[Andy Cohen]

Kind of did.

[Drew Sidora]

We made some movements here.

[Andy Cohen]

I mean, it. Actually, by the way, you and I were talking about this before the show. It winds up being one of the most fun Atlanta housewives trips that I've seen in years.

[Drew Sidora]

Absolutely. Definitely. For me. I mean, we were, like, dancing in Grenada nonstop.

[Andy Cohen]

Yes.

[Drew Sidora]

Food was amazing. And Portia and I were talking, like, what else is there left?

[Andy Cohen]

Right. Exactly. You did kind of figure that out.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

We did.

[Andy Cohen]

Dare I ask where you stand today?

[Drew Sidora]

Well, we don't talk.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay.

[Drew Sidora]

Okay.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay. All right. Okay. There you go. Was the group too hard on Britt at dinner tonight about her paper towel rules for Grenada aid?

[Drew Sidora]

I mean, it was just a lot. Britt is an interesting character, I will say that. You know, you just kind of deal with Britt. You just kind of, like, ignore her and let her be her.

[Andy Cohen]

What was your reaction to Angela? Kind of trying to get Charles to say he missed you.

[Drew Sidora]

I know. Charles is hilarious, right? I mean, Charles is just. He's gonna keep it 100. He's just who he is, and he's very consistent.

[Andy Cohen]

Right.

[Drew Sidora]

So I feel like she knows her husband. She's not trippin' so why should we?

[Andy Cohen]

Okay, that's good. That's good. Over at the bar, not only does she delight us with disco in the Kiki Lounge on Radio Andy on Sunday night. She's playing right now, actually. She's also one of the Grand Marshals of NYC Pride March on June 29th. Say hi to our friend Lena Bradford. Hey, Lena. Great to see you. I. Your Sunday night show in the Kiki Lounge. It is.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Thank you for renewing my contract.

[Andy Cohen]

Makes me. Yes, of course. Makes me so happy to listen to you spit. Just really? Since Shannon's maiden name is Storms, it is fitting that her most disastrous fight with Earl was about a hurricane. So I want to find out more about their whirlwind romance. Okay. Shannon, what would you consider to be the number one reason why you were attracted to Earl in the first place?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

I'm going to say number one. Kind eyes.

[Andy Cohen]

Kind eyes. Yes. He also seemed like he wore his heart on his sleeve with you.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Yes.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay. Oh.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

I mean, he was very vulnerable right when I first met him, so I'm not used to that.

[Andy Cohen]

Yes. What's one quality or trait that Earl has that other men that you've dated in the past, like David or Johnny J, haven't had?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Perceived support?

[Andy Cohen]

Perceived support?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

No. I mean, like, I. When I, you know, would talk to him, it was like he was being very.

[Andy Cohen]

You perceived that?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Yes.

[Andy Cohen]

But was it not?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

No. I mean, you know, I don't like what happened on this episode.

[Andy Cohen]

Right. Yes.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

So sorry.

[Andy Cohen]

Tonight, you shared that your daughters don't think you're compatible with Earl, but they seem to get along with him when visiting the Love Hotel.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

So I want to be clear. Earl said multiple times at the Love Hotel, I'm a simple man. And my response always was, because we had a banter. I'm a not so simple girl, Earl.

[Andy Cohen]

Right.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

So that's why I say he's simple. And that was what they questioned. You know, we're in a bub, and you were in a bubble.

[Andy Cohen]

With all due. If you're a simple man, you go to Bravo's Love Hotel. You got four Real Housewives. I mean, that's a lot. That seems like.

[Drew Sidora]

No.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Simplicity.

[Andy Cohen]

Yes. Yes. Do you regret not being there for Earl amid the hurricane?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Had I known that a hurricane was gonna move from Florida to Georgia, I mean, who.

[Andy Cohen]

If he had said to you that night, listen, I'm actually really scared about how this is gonna go. Would you just hang with me?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Absolutely.

[Andy Cohen]

Yeah.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

It's communication, right?

[Andy Cohen]

All right. Thank you, Shannon. I am dying to know what happened with the two of you, but we're gonna have to wait until.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Okay. Can I just say one thing, though, about Earl?

[Andy Cohen]

Yes.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

When we were getting along, like, it was really good.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

That's why tonight, when you see me in the show, I'm so sad. It's because to me, it was even more devastating. It's like, wow, things are good with them. They're so great.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay. Drew signed a record deal with the help of her bro, Dennis. By the way, the record's great. Congratulations.

[Drew Sidora]

Thank you.

[Andy Cohen]

It's called Tell the People what it's called.

[Drew Sidora]

The album is called I Did it to Me and it's about taking accountability.

[Andy Cohen]

You know, and it's good.

[Drew Sidora]

Yeah, it is.

[Andy Cohen]

And, like, we were wonderful. We had a lot of albums come and go, but this is a good one.

[Drew Sidora]

This is my first album.

[Andy Cohen]

No, I know. I'm just saying, on these shows, yes. We've had, like, songs come and go.

[Drew Sidora]

Thank you for saying that. You did.

[Andy Cohen]

No, I see.

[Drew Sidora]

This is a legit one, right?

[Andy Cohen]

Yes, it is.

[Drew Sidora]

And we're almost gone, so I feel like we worked. Dennis and I worked extremely hard, so I'm just happy that the, you know, reception has been so positive. Overwhelming, actually.

[Andy Cohen]

You and Dennis worked hard.

[Drew Sidora]

We worked in the studio.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay. Very good.

[Drew Sidora]

So hard.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay. When it comes to sisterhood in Atlanta, things aren't quite as harmonious, so she's gonna serenade them with Shade. Oh, okay. It's time for Rhythm and Drews. Drew, for each Atlanta girl that pops up, we want you to sing one thing that she needs to work on.

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, my gosh.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay, so let's sing this up. First. It is Portia. What does she need to work?

[Drew Sidora]

Portia needs to start telling the truth.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay, okay, okay. About any topic in particular.

[Drew Sidora]

All topics of her life.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay.

[Drew Sidora]

At the current moment.

[Andy Cohen]

Next up is Shamia.

[Drew Sidora]

Okay, Shamia. Wait a minute. Let me finish. The bargain's getting out of control.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay. Okay, next up is. Oh, little Kelly.

[Drew Sidora]

Kelly, stop talking and keep cooking your waffles.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay, next up is Angela.

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, Angie's my kind of girl from the shy. We don't lie. Yay.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay. Okay. Your friend is Britt.

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, Brit. The world wants to know are you a O and did you sell it? I mean.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay, next up is Phaedra.

[Drew Sidora]

Phaedra, Phaedra, Phaedra. To this day, you're still fake.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Yeah.

[Drew Sidora]

Yeah.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay, next stop, Cynthia.

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, Cynthia's mother. Don't change nothing. That's my girl. I love her.

[Andy Cohen]

All right. Thank you very much.

[Drew Sidora]

That was messy.

[Andy Cohen]

You had a really different season this season.

[Drew Sidora]

I did. You know, I feel like I was just chilling. You know, I was really looking forward to getting to know the new girls, but it was a lot on me. There was a lot coming at me that was just not true.

[Andy Cohen]

Yes.

[Drew Sidora]

So we have a lot to talk about at reunion. They're gonna have to see me at reunion for sure.

[Andy Cohen]

Shannon, Jenna B. Wants to know if you think Mark was actually into Gisele or was he trying to pivot because Lou wasn't into him?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Okay. Well, we did have a conversation in. And, yeah, I think that if you had an interest. Mark, you should have gone in a little bit earlier, Drew.

[Andy Cohen]

Cecilia K. Said. Cecilia Kay said. Now that you've seen the scene of Portia and Shamia getting dinner with Ralph, did that change how you felt about them doing it? Oh, and do you still feel like Portia was trying to get back at you?

[Drew Sidora]

Yes, absolutely. Like, when I heard that they filmed, of course I was upset. Um, and I was like, okay, so why are you keeping this energy with me when you actually did the same thing? But watching it back, it was really hurtful because, as you see, Dennis and I don't get together and talk about Portia at all. But they literally got together and were just dragging me, you know, so it felt like a tit for tat. It definitely felt nasty. Um, and I don't know the point she was trying to make, like, so I don't know why we can't get to the other side. Since you kind of got your lick back, we should be good, right?

[Andy Cohen]

All right. Okay, let's take questions from our fans. In our studio audience, we have Keeley from New Jersey. What's your question for Shannon?

[Drew Sidora]

Hi, Shannon.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Hi, Hill. Love you. You look beautiful tonight. Thank you. How is Gretchen doing acclimating with the group compared to Alexis last season? Oh, well, it's like it's night and day.

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, good.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

But I think she's great. She's been nothing but kind to me. And I think. I mean, I don't know if you've seen anything, but I think she's been a great addition to the show, so I'm excited to have her there.

[Andy Cohen]

You. And so the Johnny J. Lawsuit and everything is over.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Yeah, I paid him, you know, and I paid him, so there's no reason to talk about me anymore. So we're done.

[Andy Cohen]

And is he still talking about you?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

No, I don't think so.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

I don't think so.

[Andy Cohen]

Good.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Grateful for that.

[Andy Cohen]

Good. How much did you wind up having to pay?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

$60,000. And you know what I did? I took the. You know, I went to the bank and got the wire, and I redacted all the account information, and it said payment in full. And I circled it and I put it on Instagram and I tagged them, and I wrote enj.

[Drew Sidora]

That's the way you do it, period.

[Andy Cohen]

All right, here's Sahira from Santa Clarita with a virtual question for Drew. Hi there.

[Drew Sidora]

Hi, everybody. Drew, my question is, what is the status of you and Ralph's relationship since he was cooking for you on Memorial Day? Oh, and is he still in the Basement. So, like, we were just talking about this because that day, what you guys saw him cooking. Steak was for the kids on Memorial Day. So I allowed him to come upstairs to feed the children, and he fed me a piece of steak. I'm not gonna lie, the steak was good. But we are still, you know, where we are. And he's back in the basement.

[Andy Cohen]

Wow.

[Drew Sidora]

But we kept the steak upstairs.

[Andy Cohen]

By the way, that basement looks really nice.

[Drew Sidora]

Yeah, well, we had a flood first season, actually, when we had the baby blessing, and it's been completely renovated, so he's got a brand new. Like, that's why he loves it so much.

[Andy Cohen]

Right.

[Drew Sidora]

It's like, this is the perfect life for him.

[Andy Cohen]

Does he love the basem?

[Drew Sidora]

He does. Meanwhile, I am miserable.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Luann does not like the basement.

[Andy Cohen]

No, she does not. Lou does not love a basement.

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, my God.

[Andy Cohen]

What was your reaction to Phaedra saying that you give off an interesting vibe.

[Drew Sidora]

It was interesting, right? Because, I mean, let's face it, I met Phaedra really at the end of the season, right?

[Andy Cohen]

Yes.

[Drew Sidora]

So we haven't had any issue. No falling out. But she did say she's friends with Ralph. Did you catch it? Did you clock it?

[Andy Cohen]

Right.

[Drew Sidora]

Okay, so now we have an issue.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay. I mean, have you talked to Ralph about the nature of their friendship?

[Drew Sidora]

Well, I do know their mutual friend. You know, Ralph has a manager now. Cause he's like a celebrity, so they are. So I do know the mutual friends.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

See, when I met John Jansen.

[Andy Cohen]

Sorry, there must be some manager that represents husbands.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

All of them, right?

[Andy Cohen]

Yeah.

[Drew Sidora]

We had a cross reference because I'm like, listen, what is going on?

[Andy Cohen]

Did Ralph's book ever come out? Did it? Oh.

[Drew Sidora]

Along with the podcast that him and Shamia were meeting about Kings. Have you guys seen. I haven't seen it on Spotify.

[Andy Cohen]

Oh, right.

[Drew Sidora]

So, I mean, it's just doing a lot of nothing.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay. We all remember when Shamia called Angela's nose retro. But her latest nose related read was labeling Drew as Drew Nokio. So we're gonna see if we can sniff out any other shady commentary in a game of. Everybody nose. Ladies, I'm gonna ask you some nosy questions. For each one you answer, your nose will grow. The longest nose at the end of the game wins. Drew, you're up. First, name three reasons why you're a better singer than Shamia.

[Drew Sidora]

Well, I think my music is really from the heart. You know what I mean? It's like I poured my heart out on this album, and I really do Stylistic things. You know, I do backgrounds and ad libs.

[Andy Cohen]

Music from the heart. Stylistic things.

[Drew Sidora]

And, and, and, and, you know, I have an album that's almost gold. There's no computer.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay. And near gold album. Okay, next up, Shannon. Who gives off the most small dick energy? Terry, Shane, Eddie, Travis, Ryan or slade? Men of O.C.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Oh, this is God. Can I plead the fifth? Oh, no, that's Sensei Eddie.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Okay, Bring it on.

[Andy Cohen]

I have a feeling we're gonna be hearing about this. Okay, Drew, which of the new Peaches do you find to be the biggest liar? Shamia, Kelly, Britt, or Angela?

[Drew Sidora]

Definitely Brit.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay, who is she? Shannon, what is your honest opinion of whether or not Ashley will ever resolve her self diagnosed daddy issues?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

You know what? I don't know. I am a huge Wale fan and I love Ralph. We're very close, but I really, I thought that she and Wale had something special. So I don't know when the daddy issues are gonna go away.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay, Drew, whose marriage has more red flags? Brits or Angela's?

[Drew Sidora]

We can all agree Brits.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay, see all the things coming out. Shannon, what do you consider to be your most cringe worthy moment of all time on rhoc?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Okay, really? There's like a thousand. Okay, I will tell you. And it has to do with drinking. Two times. I was very drunk. You called me once at Bronwyn's Bauer, new girl, and you go, oh, my God, Shannon. The scene that's coming up, it's crazy. But the other one was when we were in Mexico with the Trace Amigas and we had a bunch of shots and they said the tacos were good last night. I go, I didn't have tacos. And they showed the scene and I called it Chihuahua Archie.

[Andy Cohen]

Right, right. All right. Okay. Drew, whose side are you on in their friendship fallout? Portia or Shamia?

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, that's tough. Regardless of our differences, I mean, we know their friendship is like long standing, so it's been hard to watch it crumble before our eyes, I will have to say, because Shamia and I did talk in depth and I really felt like I understood where she was coming from. I would have to ride with Shamil.

[Andy Cohen]

All right, wow. Okay, we're gonna leave it there. So are you dating?

[Drew Sidora]

I'm going on dates, you know, but I feel like not a boyfriend yet. Okay, Trust me. I will let you know if I have a boyfriend, y' all. I'll be so happy to let y' all in on that. Cause I will be. You know, that's a new chapter.

[Andy Cohen]

Could it be a girlfriend that you're.

[Drew Sidora]

Wait a minute.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

What?

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, you're so messy. No, that was never okay. I mean, you know, like I said, I have friends.

[Andy Cohen]

You know, the streets talk.

[Drew Sidora]

The streets talk a lot of stuff, Right? Is it true or is it not?

[Andy Cohen]

I don't know.

[Drew Sidora]

Cause maybe Ralph and Portia got something going on. Oh, they went to dinner. I mean, see how it happens? You never know in Atlanta. It's Ralph, single. Ralph is dating. He, like, posted his new girlfriend on his story.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay.

[Drew Sidora]

Check it out. Yeah.

[Andy Cohen]

And how does that make you feel when you see that?

[Drew Sidora]

You know, like, I'm like, how does it work, you know, when your ex gets a new wife or a girlfriend? I have not met her.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

They got a lot of Instagram followers. And you need to remember. And you need to remember, Drew. It's because of you. Oh, well.

[Andy Cohen]

She knows. You're welcome. She knows. She knows.

[Drew Sidora]

I mean, you know, it's an adjustment, obviously, but, I mean, that was the thing in the marriage. I've dealt with it pretty much. Our whole marriage is just him always having women. There was always women involved, so I'm kind of used to that part.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay, it's time for Watch what Happens 5. On Love Hotel, Shannon was accused of cock blocking one of Ashley's suitors. But tonight, she's going to do the opposite by helping a few people try to get some action, like Gisele, Lou and Ashley before her. Shannon is counting down her top five Bravo liberties that she wants to see in the Love Hotel. Next. Who's number five?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Number five, Adriana from Miami.

[Andy Cohen]

Oh, I love that.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

When she was dating that guy, that really was divorced, like, I felt for her. So I want Adriana there.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Number four, Kate Chastain.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Yeah, she's got a bit of an attitude. Super fun. Number three. Number three, Lala Kent. Number two, Paige DeSorvo. And number one, my good friend Heather Gay.

[Andy Cohen]

Wow, that's a good list.

[Drew Sidora]

Yeah.

[Andy Cohen]

Did Sophie Bedor help you with that list?

[Shannon Storms Beador]

No. Okay, wait, no. You know what she did. She fangirls with Paige.

[Andy Cohen]

Paige, Yes. I was like, I wondered if Paige, if she helped you with that one. She loves it. That is great. Oh, I love it. That's a good list.

[Drew Sidora]

That's a great list.

[Andy Cohen]

I mean, it's major. Let's go back to the fans. In studio, we have Laura from Connecticut. What's your question for Drew?

[Drew Sidora]

Oh, so, Drew, I love the new music. Thank you. So I just have a question. Atlanta, obviously, is like a big music town. What two parts? What made you choose Dennis to work with A and B? Given that, you know, Portia, like, for several years being on the show, did you think ahead of time that she might be as upset as she was? Okay, yeah, let's talk about it. Let's clear it up.

[Andy Cohen]

Yeah.

[Drew Sidora]

So, yes, I have been signed to Def Jam. Vince Herbert signed me. I've been assigned to Babyface, Slip N Slide. However, I was doing a show with Tamar Braxton. Dennis reached out to my team to host the after party. After that, he sent music to my team. And let me tell you this. If you guys are lovers of music, it's about the music. I was like, wait a minute, Dennis in music. But when I heard the songs, it resonated with what I was dealing with in my personal life. So this music isn't just like, oh, I wanted to do an album. It's like, I needed to do this album. It is therapy. It is like my diary to everything I've been going through. So that's why Dennis, right? And I feel like. Like he did a great job. Like, he curated an amazing. An amazing project. And to answer your second question, I reached out to Portia, called her, text her. Called her. She was living her African princess life in Dubai and Nigeria. She never called me back. So I sent her a text, which I have the receipt for, which I'll show you at Reunion. And she never responded. You know, it was that kind of thing. And then once she was going through her divorce, it was all eyes on Dennis. Well, what's Dennis doing? You know? But I will say this. Portia is a fan of the music. She was a part of the process. When we were recording, Portia and I had a conversation before we started filming. Portia was so excited about the music. She's like, it's all good. Let's go hang out. Which is why at Shamia's birthday party. I was so taken aback. Like, we just talked last week. We were talking two weeks ago, and it was all love, so it was giving. Like, well, I can't talk about this, so we're gonna talk about you. That's what it's giving. So did that answer your question? I hope it brought some clarity to the situation. Absolutely. Because Portia and I were best friends, and I just feel like, you know, she said she was okay with it, and if she wasn't, I wish she would have told me as a friend, you know? And so that was disappointing.

[Andy Cohen]

But let's go to Eric from Chicago with a question for Shannon and Eric. Eric.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Hi. Hey, guys. You guys all look amazing tonight.

[Drew Sidora]

Thank you.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Thank you. Now, where do you currently stand with Tamara since your reconciliation, both at and after the reunion last year? And do you think the three amigos can get back together? Oh, okay. So I. You know, you'll have to tune in. We've finished filming Real Housewives of Orange county. And I will tell you, there was so much drama in this season, but it's stuff that you wouldn't even script. It's like, where did that come from? So there is a lot. So you'll be able to see where Tim Wright and I stand. Do I think there will be ever a reunion of the Tracy Wigans? Never say never. But I'm going to say no.

[Andy Cohen]

Okay.

[Drew Sidora]

That's like, no, period. That was like, no exclamation point.

[Andy Cohen]

Never say never. But no, never.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Today I say no, right?

[Andy Cohen]

Today I say no.

[Shannon Storms Beador]

Today I say no.
