Want to know the secret to success around the holidays? Two words. Duracell batteries. Because giving someone a gift that needs batteries without giving them the batteries, too, that's not a gift anymore.

[Dolores]

Plus, Duracell batteries are the only battery brand with power boost ingredients, which are a unique blend of nickel and lithium that can only be found in Duracell batteries.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

So make sure those gifts have the power they need on Christmas morning and stock up on the only battery brand with PowerBoost ingredients. Choose DuraCel.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Two teas in a Pod with Teddy.

[Tamara Judge]

Mellencamp and Tamara Judge.

[Dolores]

Hi, guys.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Welcome to a special episode of Two.

[Dolores]

Teas and a Pod with myself and Dolores.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Today we're going to be talking about New Year's Eve. Going to play a little game. Okay, let's do it.

[Tamara Judge]

I love games.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

You want to play a game? Okay. Bravo 2026. Predictions.

[Tamara Judge]

You know people are going to get mad at us for this.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I know, but we're going to do it. We're going to do it. So let's just go through these most shocking exit. Who and why do you think somebody's going to exit Bravo Universe? Who is it and why would they exit?

[Tamara Judge]

Tamara Judge? Because she's pissed off at everywhere. I'm like, why are you saying that?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Are you firing me before.

[Tamara Judge]

No, I get fired. No, they're gonna exit. It's their. Their choice. You. You. The way you said it was, who do you think's gonna exit and why?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I just said shocking exit. It doesn't mean it's their choice or somebody, you know, like Bravo's choice.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay, we'll have to come back to that one. That's. We need some thought on that.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Okay. I'm gonna say Julia from Miami.

[Tamara Judge]

Do you think that's shocking?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I think she's been on for a while. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I can't speak on my cast, but I don't know. I feel like Julia didn't have the greatest season. I feel like maybe her.

[Tamara Judge]

I don't think it's good for her family life after what's gone on. I think she needs to. How are things at home with her? I wonder.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I don't know. I think they're probably filming right now, so we'll. I. I don't know.

[Tamara Judge]

I haven't heard that. No, they're not.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

They're not filming yet. It seems like they should be. They're being held for a little while then, huh?

[Tamara Judge]

Well, the number two is easy. Surprise. Return no one saw coming. Vicky.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Well, yeah, yeah, but this is 2026, so who in 2026? Do you think that would be a surprise? Well, I guess she's going to be filming in 2026, so I guess that's fair.

[Tamara Judge]

We could throw that in because that was a big shock.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I agree with that. I agree with that.

[Tamara Judge]

She even know?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No, no, she didn't know. She didn't know.

[Tamara Judge]

A little orange.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yes. So I'm gonna say Lisa, Rena.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, I would love that. You know, we're a big. Lisa. Wanna come back?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Well, I'm just manifesting it because I feel like Lisa Rinna needs to go back to Beverly Hills. I feel like it's been lacking ever since she's been gone. And we need that girl that's in there that just owns it. She just owns it.

[Tamara Judge]

I can imagine with a lot of the things that haven't been said how she would have handled it. What do you think? Would she have like put people's feet to the fire and shit like that?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I don't know. I don't really know the real reason why she left. I mean, I heard that she quit, then I heard that she wanted to come back. I don't know. I'm just excited that she is going to be. I think that she'll be a breakout star in Traders. I think that she's going to be. Everybody's going to be tuning in to see her, that's for sure.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

So I would love them see.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Okay. Franchise that improves the most, I'm going to say as of right now, Potomac, I think they're having a great season. I think that it has not been great. I also think that Atlanta is back on track.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, I'll agree with that.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And I'm really hoping that Beverly Hills is going to be back on track. We do have the new girl, Amanda. She's pissing people off. Kyle's being a little bit more open. So I'm hoping that they, all of them get really back on track. I mean, you know, it's up and down. Not every season is going to be explosive or something.

[Tamara Judge]

No, I meant it can't always have every season. Although Salt Lake City's had a few good ones in a row.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

They.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I know they always have something going on or they make something going on.

[Tamara Judge]

They were on my chopping block, weren't they? I don't know.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I don't think so. I think they've always been good.

[Tamara Judge]

No, back when, right before Jen Shaw, they were not getting. They were Getting ratings. Absolute shit ratings.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

It's so hard to tell with ratings nowadays, because if you look at the cable ratings, which don't really, I think, count anymore, it's more streaming, but they don't air the streaming ones very often. Salt Lake City is way behind any of the other franchises. Like Miami's way. Yes, yes. But then they do great in streaming, so it's.

[Dolores]

It's difficult.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Franchise in danger of being paused or rebooted.

[Tamara Judge]

I don't know. You know, I'm. Now that I'm watching all of them.

[Dolores]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

The ones that I mean, that are not. How about if we just. Can we talk about what we hope comes back, which is my show at.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

This point, that's the franchise that we hope doesn't get paused any longer.

[Dolores]

That's for sure.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I think as far as being paused, rebooted, I'm going to go with New York because it has been paused for a while.

[Tamara Judge]

They're already on pause.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

They're on pause. But I'm worried because Andy has made it quite clear that he will not bring any of the OGs back. I think that we need the OGs back for people to really tune in. I think we need Dorinda. I think that we need 100%. Luann.

[Tamara Judge]

Luanna rocked the house last night. Her show. Oh, my God. Have you seen videos? I was supposed to go, but I was. No, I was.

[Dolores]

Oh, you didn't go.

[Tamara Judge]

Frankie Funicelli went with her mother, Lisa Funicel.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Oh, Frankie and Lisa Funicelli. That's good.

[Tamara Judge]

She's like. It's so good. She called out my name because I told the way and I'd be there, but I just. My head was pounding last night, so I couldn't go. But Teresa was there with Melania, I think Jen Aiden, and the house was like. People were up dancing. It was crazy. Packed house. Sold out. Sold out. So good.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah. Who will get the most heat during the Beverly Hills reunion? I'm gonna say the money.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

The money queen, Amanda, who I always call Michelle. I don't know why I do that to people. She doesn't look like a Michelle. Maybe she looks like a Michelle to me. She does not look like an Amanda, so I always want to call her Michelle. And then when somebody goes, what do you think about Amanda?

[Tamara Judge]

You know what I think?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I think of Summer House. Amanda and Summer House.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay, so you. That's why. All right, fair enough.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Will Jen Shaw return to Salt Lake City in some capacity?

[Tamara Judge]

No. Andy has made it clear. Absolutely not. And I believe that it's one thing. Listen, you lied about your house getting robbed. You don't pay your taxes. You do this, you can't hurt kids and you can't rip off old people. No, these are the two things. You just can't. No, we have to draw something like DUIs. We gotta draw the line somewhere.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Do you think that Bravo will do some kind of episode or Andy does a sit down with her, anything like that?

[Tamara Judge]

I think they will because it's gonna make money.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's what I think too. And they're all about the money.

[Tamara Judge]

He said no. No, really.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Okay. Because I had heard and you know, there's always rumors going around that they were in talks to do a, like a three episode special with her. But it, you know, that's what the streets are saying. Doesn't make it true.

[Tamara Judge]

Word on the street.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

It could be another network maybe. She'll probably be back on TV somehow. There's going to be another network that's going to come out and maybe do a special with her.

[Tamara Judge]

What's a special going to get you? Nothing.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No, I know that.

[Tamara Judge]

Three episodes.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, but she'll do it. I mean, at best, she'll get paid for it.

[Tamara Judge]

She didn't. She didn't want to call off that show. She left kicking and screaming, that's for sure.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Will Karen Hoover return to Potomac as a flute holder? I think there's no doubt, I think that we even get to see her this season, right?

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, yeah, she's definitely coming back.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

This one's for you. Do you think Teresa Melissa will stay on good terms?

[Tamara Judge]

Yes, I really hope so.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I think time will tell, but, you know, you just get the cameras up.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

Bravo.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Let's find out.

[Tamara Judge]

I think that they will. What's left to fight about? I mean, it's not like they fight like, like they're married. What could you hate each other so much for? It's done. It's over. And you know, I think their time apart was very healing to both of them. And I can't. I can't imagine one more thing to fight about.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, let's see. Besides Liz McGraw, who do you think will be the breakout star on Rhode Island? Well, I'm gonna say you.

[Tamara Judge]

Thank you. Everyone's gonna relate to each girl there. So I'm gonna tell you, there won't be one singular breakout star, but each one has their own really good character. There's a villain that you know, not a villain, but she's a shit star. There's a one who's really funny. There's one who goes through a lot with her husband. Then there's Ashley, who cries all the time. Ashley cries all the time.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Was she the one that was on Bachelor?

[Tamara Judge]

Yes.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Didn't she cry in Bachelor? Did I hear yeah, she's a crier.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah, she's a crier. You know how I feel about that. But she's the nicest person. She cries a lot. So I think all the girls have their own little niche on the show, which I loved.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

Here's the thing about being a great gift giver. When you find something truly perfect for everyone on your list, you almost don't want to give it away.

[Dolores]

That's what happened with my Quint's order. Everything so soft and well made. I'm seriously tempted to keep all of it for myself.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

Quint's pretty much has your whole list covered. Mongolian cashmere sweaters for $50 when you'd normally pay $200 or more, the kind you'll wear on repeat.

[Dolores]

Then there's the denim that goes with everything. Silk tops and skirts for when you need to look put together. Cashmere beanies and scarves and down jackets.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That actually keep you warm.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

The Italian wool coats absolute top of my list. They look designer and are made with premium materials. But like everything at Quint, the price won't make you panic. We're talking way less than other brands charge.

[Dolores]

By working directly with trusted factories that maintain high standards for both craftsmanship and ethical practices, and by cutting out the middleman and markups, Quince is able to.

[Sponsor Voice]

Pass those savings straight to you.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

I can't tell you how much I'm loving my new cashmere sweater. I will be wearing it a lot this holiday season and getting one for my daughter. Slate Find gifts so good you'll want to keep them with Quince.

[Ebay Advertiser]

Before all the algorithm fed blah and the endless sea of dupes, shopping used to feel more fun. But here's a confession. Are you a Charlotte listeners? You can find that fun feeling again on ebay. Because on ebay it's not just shopping, it's a full on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing that adrenaline hit is real. I went on to ebay to look for a super special vintage jacket for Charlotte to wear to the gallery and I found the most amazing Mugler jacket and the costume department loved it and it felt so good. And I still have it at home. Like when you score that rare Adidas collab that's lived on your mood board or the Dior saddle bag that you ripped right out of a magazine in 2007 and never got. Yeah, those. It's about the thrill and the pursuit of finding those pieces that feel like you. There's always more to discover. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay. Authenticity guarantee. EBay. Things people love.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Do you think having the OG's, Lala and Tom Schwartz on Vanderpump is from Vanderpump will make the Valley better? Yeah, I do too.

[Tamara Judge]

I do too. Lala's gonna be on.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, lala's gonna be on the Valley and so shorts, I think.

[Tamara Judge]

What about Sheena?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No, she's not on it.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Not quite sure what happened there. I heard negotiations or. I don't know. Do you think will Kyla Marie still finalize their divorce?

[Tamara Judge]

I do.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

20, 26.

[Dolores]

You think so?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I keep holding on with like, oh, maybe they'll get back together. Maybe they'll get back together, but it's not looking like it. I didn't realize. It's been like years now.

[Tamara Judge]

So they may not finalize the divorce, you know, formally. Like Paul didn't, though they could probably. They'll probably just stay separated. But did I hear her say something like, you know, I thought because he didn't buy another house that there was a chance we'd get back. That's a really big thing to say. Nobody talked about it. Nobody. Do you think that was a huge thing?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Which made me believe that Kyle would like that.

[Tamara Judge]

Why else would you say that?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, why?

[Tamara Judge]

How could that even come? Would you say that about your ex?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No, never.

[Tamara Judge]

Okay. Where does that come from? Does that come from? Oh, maybe I'm just going through something right now when I'm done and when he's done going through something, we'll meet back up. No, that's really not how it works.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

No, no, I agree. So here's a shady question. Bravo couple that might break up in 2026.

[Tamara Judge]

Well, there's been some. Like there was merit. Lisa Barlow and John were not getting along this season. Let's just. Let's just say the people that weren't getting along, I'm not going to say they're going to break up. I don't want to see anyone break up.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

I hate.

[Tamara Judge]

Right, right, right.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I don't want to see anybody Break up. This is just.

[Tamara Judge]

But Lisa and John were having a really hard time this season.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Oh, I hope not. What about Wendy and Eddie? With everything they're going through, sometimes stuff like, so good.

[Tamara Judge]

Her. We stick through it with him. That man was wiping your tears. He's so good. He's wild for her and he's so good and kind.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

She.

[Tamara Judge]

I don't know.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

I don't. I don't think she.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

There's been a lot of talk about Kyle and Amanda.

[Tamara Judge]

Based in. They. Yeah, she's got her own place. She even shown. Showed her own place. And I think they.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

I think that was a joke.

[Tamara Judge]

Oh, yeah. It was a little house.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah, it was a joke. It was like a. A kid's house.

[Tamara Judge]

Her little kid's house. Okay.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

So, I mean, I don't want to see anybody break up, but this is just a shady question.

[Tamara Judge]

Maybe they've grown apart a little bit. Sometimes people grow apart. It just happens.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

When do you think the real house together?

[Tamara Judge]

But yeah, who knows?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Who knows? When do you think Jersey we'll start filming.

[Tamara Judge]

We have not heard a thing.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

How long has it been now since you've been off the air?

[Dolores]

Two years.

[Tamara Judge]

Two seasons. That's a lot.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's a lot.

[Tamara Judge]

Everybody's getting ahead of us. Like when I watch Salt Lake City and they're getting all these awards and they're doing all this stuff, I'll call the girls and I'll text them. Told you. Told you. Stop fighting.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

Figure it out.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Well, you were the one that was trying to stop everybody from fighting.

[Tamara Judge]

I knew at that dinner that there was no resolution and it wasn't coming back. I knew it. And every time I tried to tell each side to pull in their horns, they thought I was sticking up for the other side. It was never that.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Well, it's a lesson to be learned across the board. Like, this is a job.

[Dolores]

This.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

You can't take it personal.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

You.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

If you're not going to film with somebody. And I've said this a million times. I met with Margaret prior to you guys filming your last season. And she said, yeah. They said, I don't have to film with her if I don't want to. And I'm like, don't do that. Don't do that. Because I think when you ice people out, refuse to film with them, you're making a statement. I can't work together. I'm not a team player who.

[Tamara Judge]

I understand fighting. I understand not liking each other, but there's something called co. Cohabitating.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

You really don't say you want to film with that person. If you don't like her, look for a reason to jump down her throat, make her look like an asshole if you don't like her. That's the best person you want to film with.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah. It's the easiest person to film.

[Tamara Judge]

That's the easiest person to film with. You don't want to fight with your friend. You don't have a falling out with your husband on the show. You want to have. You want to fight with someone that you don't like. That is a Christmas present. That is a gift. Right. I agree with them dumbs. But you know what? I don't think anybody respected my opinion.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

They didn't. But you know what? I feel like you're probably one of the safest ones on that show when it does come back. And if it doesn't come back, you're gonna have to move to Rhode Island, Orange County.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

You.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

You have to go like, remember.

[Tamara Judge]

Right.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Remember Cynthia how she would be like the traveling housewife? She'd be showing up on all these different shows?

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

Maybe you're right.

[Tamara Judge]

Quite frankly, I wish that I had more time on. On Rhode Island. I. I did. I did fit in really well with the girls. I enjoyed them very much. I miss New Jersey so much. I miss filming with the girls.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Yeah.

[Tamara Judge]

Yeah. But, yeah. So we'll see. We'll see what the Future holds for 2026. Yep. I would love to do another season of Rhode island, and I would hope that they'd put me on more. I don't know, because they didn't really. They said, you know, you do belong to New Jersey. Yeah. Because there is no Jersey.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

There is no Jersey. But this is what I'm saying. If Jersey does not come back for whatever reason, they could easily transfer you over to Long Island.

[Tamara Judge]

I would spend every summer in Rhode Island. It is so beautiful. Paul fell in love and we're looking for a house there.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Oh, my God. I've never been there.

[Tamara Judge]

It's so beautiful. You would love it. But you're from California. Most places look like that.

[Podcast Advertiser/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

Well, thank you guys so much for tuning in to our. Pretty much our season.

[Dolores]

That's a while, right?

[Teddi Mellencamp]

That's a 2025 for us on two T's. I thanked you the other day and I'm going to thank you again for, you know, stepping up and being there for. For me and Teddy during this difficult year. And you've come in and you've done an amazing job and the fans love you.

[Tamara Judge]

Thank you.

[Teddi Mellencamp]

And you crushed it.

[Tamara Judge]

It means a lot. It means a lot that I was able to do this and that you let me do it. I'm honored and I appreciate it so much. I love it and I've come to get so close to you and so close to Teddi and everybody at iHeart. So it means a lot. I'm an honorary twat now.

You are an honorary twat.

But thank you so much. I love you so much.

[Tamara Judge]

Love you. Happy New Year. To a better year next year for all.
