Welcome to Reality with the King. It's me Carlos King, the King of Reality TV and one of the most sought after executive producers in reality television with over ten years a production experience. Once a week from Reality with the King, we'll sit down with my friends across the entertainment industry, recap our favorite reality shows and revisit unforgettable moments that we are still talking and tweeting about. Hey,
rain drops. So today on Reality with the King, we are going to dive into two things, honey, and I wanted to do this episode by myself because I have a lot of thoughts on this and I want y'all to hear us straight from who, Yes? Is that a horse? I hear yes, honey, straight from the horse's mouth. First things first, we are going to get into what y'all call not me. I didn't call it this, but y'all did,
the disastrous Love Is Blind Live reunion, Okay. And then we're also going to get into my girls, Tamer Judge versus Teresa Judais Templand and Swiss Beasts versus has nothing on what's going down, honey, between Tamer Judge and Teresa Judais. But first, let's get into this Love is Blind reunion. All Right. I feel like I'm at a Catholic church because for the past couple of episodes, your boy's been making a lot of confessions. Sierra, insert my fellow libra
ushers song. I love that song. All right, here's my confession. I don't watch Love is Blind. I know. Look, I think y'all need to remember I run a full service production company. Okay, I host this award nominated podcast. Yes, I also have a hit YouTube channel, and I got a lot going on. Okay, so I can't watch everything. But Love is Blind is the talk of the town due to how the live reunion did not happen live. Okay, So for those who don't know, let me explain what
Love is Blind. The Netflix reality show is Love Is Blind is a ten part reality series hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lascha. Okay, So, Nick Lasha used to be married to Jessica Simpson and he was a part of ninety eight Degrees. Okay, Vanessa la Shay used to be Vanessa Manilo and she was a host of TRL Tata
Request Live ra Carson d So. Love is Blind follows various single people as they go through a series of dates without actually seeing the other person's only until they find a quote unquote meaningful connection okay with someone and propose that they actually get to meet them in person. But this is the challenge, y'all, where their love last when they spend time together in the real world. I know what the show is about. I've seen a few stuff and it's actually a really good show. So they've
had for seasons thus far. So this fourth season they decided to do a live reunion. And the reason why I, Carlos King the first Hey Now wanted to talk about Love Is Blind reunion is because I want y'all to know behind the scenes what it takes to pull off a reunion. There is no way on God's Green Earth or on Mother's natured that I would ever do a live reunion. It ain't happening, and I'm gonna tell you why.
But first let me say this. It's very ambitious to do a live reunion because there's so much that happens behind the scenes in order for the show to start. Now. Netflix is the grand Dome of streamers. Okay, I love all my streamers. Hey, Hulu, Hey Peacock, Okay, Hey Amazon and Hey, to be Netflix is what we call that girl. So Netflix knows how to do a lot of things
that are ambitious. I mean, they used to go from selling DVDs like Phaedra DVD booty videos, yes, Phaedra, okay, and the they went from that to actually having one of the most successful streaming apps in the world. So Netflix understands the assignment, but they also set the standard of the assignment. I'm not surprised that Netflix said, let's not do what our peers are doing right in terms
of a standard reunion. Let's try to do a live reunion because it's good for marketing, right, it's good for the press, and if we're able to pull it off, then we would submit ourselves as what hit it? Beyonce. I'm that girl, however, dot org because I have been doing reunions since two thousand and eight, at least producing reunions since two thousand and eight, and the first reunion I produced was The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Now, mind you, I was an associate producer, okay, which is a step
above the water boy, So that's who I was. Udie. Hey, we all got to start from someplace, child, So I just know how reunions work because when I started at that low level, I was even stressed out about handling the talent. I wasn't even the executive producer, so I couldn't imagine what they had to go through or the
host at the time, which was Andy Cohen. Duh. So fast forward to me hosting my first reunion on this wonderful show called Hollywood Divas that I created for TV one back in two thousand and like thirteen I think, right or fourteen. Well, I have come to realize based on my research of Love Is Blind Live reunion, I am the only reunion host who not only executive produces
the reunion, but whose production company actually produces it. I'm the owner of the production company that produces the reunion, I'm the executive producer that produces the reunion, and I'm also the host. So I wear three hats when I have to do a reunion. So for my show Love and Marriage Huntsville Love and Marriage DC Bell Collective, my company produces the reunion, I have to executive produce the reunion, and I have to wear the hat as a host. I have three jobs to do and it's not easy.
It's very hard. What y'all don't know about reunions is it never starts on time, never ever. Ever. There's always a wardrobe malfunction. There's always someone or multiple people who are running behind schedule. There's always something happening in glam Because I'm the host and the producer, I'm good. They're
never on time. That's number one. Number two, there's so much research you have to do in order to make sure that you have the right questions to ask, because when you are the host of the reunion, that's a privileged job because you are the voice of the audience. And if you don't ask the questions that the audience wants to know, you have failed at your job. Now, yes, you have a producing team who come up with the questions. However,
I take being the host very seriously. Before I host a reunion, I spend time going on Twitter, going on social media, and scrolling through the comments to try to understand what the audience is saying about the show. So I have to do all of that to prepare myself as the host. I'm not going to rely on my producing team to just write the questions and expect me to answer it. As the host, I also have to do my job. Because what I've been seeing on social media,
y'all been dragging miss Vanessa Leche. Y'all been tagging me saying, Carlos meets the host the Love is Blind reunion. Now, look, that would be a privilege to host the reunion, but I want to make something very clear. I will never take pleasure and someone else being dissed in order for my life to shine. I don't do that now, Honey. I know other people who take pride in that, but they should remain nameless. Okay. I don't take pleasure in that.
I just think that's that's not who I am. I don't think you have to tear someone down in order to build someone up. That's just how I was raised. Okay. So I've been seeing these series of messages about people saying that allegedly Vanessa Lasha did a horrible job hosting
the reunion. And because of that, and because I do what my research before I take this particular episode, I decided to watch some of the Love is Blind reunion and some of the things that you guys were saying was that Vanessa did not ask a lot of follow up questions, that there were things handed to her from the cast. They were dropping these gems, and she failed to ask follow up question to dig deeper into what they were giving her or handing her in this case.
And then I read that some people defended her by saying, well, you know, there's producers in Vanessa's ear who tells her what to ask, and she has a script. Now let me dig into that first. Yes, when you are hosting a reunion, you are wearing an earpiece, and in their earpiece there's a producer in the control room who sort of guides you. They may say, Carlos, move on to this question. Carlos, so and so looks like they're about to cry. Can you ask that? So that does happen.
Rather you're hosting a reunion show or a talk show, you always have a producer in your ear to sort of direct you. And that's their job is to produce you. That is true, however, dot Org. When you are the host, and I'm saying this from my experience being the host, the most important job as a host is to listen, and you have to listen to your cast, and if they're dropping gems, it is your job to ask follow up questions. I don't care who's in your ear, out,
your ear up, your nose, up your butt. I don't care what's happening. You have to make sure that when you're on that stage, you're listening. Because when I host reunions, the best moments that go viral or my reunion shows are the questions that I ask as a follow up to what someone said, because this person may have dropped a jewel and you just have to know when to pick it up and to go further. And Baby, when you do that, child, you are welcomed with so many surprises.
So again, I know Vanessa, let's see child, I was about to call her her maiden name. I know her from and I used to like cur on TRL. So I don't know what's been happening thus far. But what I will say is reunion shows are a pressure cooker. It's a lot of there's a lot of mechanics going into it. So the idea to do a live reunion scares me. And this is the other reason why I
think it went late. So the other thing is they said this woman named Jackie, who they said was the start of the season and low key the villain, allegedly Child, they didn't show up. That's equivalent to child Teresa not showing up for a Jersey reunion. That's also why it may have been delayed because at the end of the day, like I said, people run late. Not only that, it's
hard to control the environment of a reunion child. You'd be having people who are long winded that be talking about everything under the sun, and you'd be like, girl, can you wrap this up? Because we're bored. So what y'all don't see is we edit all of that out in order to give y'all the best moments. That's also something that y'all don't see, which is very, very very big in terms of how to make a reunion scene.
So to do something live, you can't control the emotions of the reality star because they need to get things off their chest. You have to pivot into another direction when they do that. Girl is a lot. A live reunion terrifies me. It actually scares me to think of even doing one, because this is exactly why I haven't done one, and y'all, I ain't gonna do one. It's
just not going to work. So I got a chance to look at the reunion and here on my thoughts and the thoughts of the people child, Hey, rain drops. A lot of you guys have said that the way the reunion hosts in this case, Nick Vanessa reacted to the internet commentary was really half hearted. Y'all felt that they responded to the rumors that Barbara wasn't Kwame's sister, but did not address the text from Jackie that were homophobic.
So a lot of y'all felt that was a miss mark in terms of something that could have really been a follow up question or they could have really dug deep into. Y'all also said that Vanessa did not push back against Irena, but she's definitely biased. Allegedly, y'all are Ooh, y'all are Bessie, So y'all said that she's biased. Y'all said Vanessa did not grill Micah about her being a bitch and a bully. Who Lord, there's more to come, y'all. Y'all were reading the girls. So this is why you
do not do a live reunion. And every reunion there's always one reality star or in this case, a couple who are the force multipliers of this season. They're the most anticipated person or persons that you want to see at the reunion. Jackie and Josh did not come to the reunion. Yes you hear that sound effect, that's all of us gagging, darling. Now look, I already said to y'all, I don't watch Love is Blind like that. But y'all, even Carlos King the first knows that Jackie and Josh
are the Melody and Martel of Love is Blind. It's like me doing love and marriage Huntsville without Melody and Martel. Throw it away, put it in the trash can on SESSI Mystery, and roll it down the highway on two eighty five in Atlanta. Honey, throw it away. It's trash day. Pick it up either in the recycled bind or the trash bend. Y'all don't have Jackie and Josh, Jay and Jay Child. And then the gag is. Let me tell y'all something I wish somebody would not show up to
my reunion. First of all, that is termination at its finest. Let's talk about a pink slip. Let's talk about thank you for your services, Hey Shawnie O'Neil. Let's talk about by Felicia. Let's talk about by girl, Hey Lee and Portia, let's talk. Let's talk about the sun is setting honey, I wish somebody would not show up at my reunion. The fact that Josh and Jackie did not show up
at the reunion. They should have just said, you know what, we are going to do a podcast episode up this reunion and y'all can stream it on Netflix dot com Black Slash Love is Blind Underscore, Vanessa underscore Lache Child, That's what I would have done. So everybody kept asking me, like Carlos, like why are they allowed not to show up?
And me and y'all were also pissed because Vanessa supposedly she didn't question them about the text that came in Child, because Jackie posted something that said put the text on
the screen and the internet went crazy. So at the end of the day, I will say this, although the Netflix Love is Blind live reunion did not happen, and although y'all dragged it, I'm gonna say something to y'all that I strongly believe all press is good press, because listen, if this live reunion did not have all of these issues to the point where it wasn't even live, I would not be talking about it on my podcast. So
in the end, guess what Netflix won. They won because as of today, more than seven million people watched the reunion. I think within like a twenty four hour span or this is maybe five days cumulative. But they won in the end because guess what we're talking about it. I'm talking about it, child. I don't talk about love is blind this podcast, child, But I am so Netflix once again. Hey, Beyonce, you are what that girl, and this is your renaissance
coming off. You're going to get my thoughts on Tamra Judge versus Teresa Judies. This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into the show, Girlala, two housewives are beef and beefing. No, not beef like the new Netflix series starring Ali Wongvan. I love, yes, not that beef. I'm talking about a versus Beat, not Swiss Beat Tonny and Timbaland. I'm talking about Teresa Judais
versus Tamara Judge. Now y'all know, Teresa is my girl who I have known for oh my gosh, fifteen years. And baby, I'm gonna stick beside Teresa because I ain't trying to get dragged off Jezy. I love my baby Teresa, but y'all also know I love me some Tamara Judge. I consider Tamra a friend. I love her. I love Teddy Mellencamp. I've been on their post. They've been on this podcast Reality with the King, and so has Teresa. So the podcast world, I will say this, we all
are very supportive of each other. It's like this beautiful subculture of people who just like to have fun, having the privilege of just sitting at your home in your clothice a hey cal office, and just hopping on the microphone to talk some smack, you know what I'm saying. So we all support each other and love each other. But baby, that love is lost between Tamar and Teresa. Okay,
so here it goes. Long story short. As you all know, there's been this big to do about what happened on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season four that hasn't even aired yet between Brandy Glamville and Caroline manzo An investigation was long launch. There was some alleged you know, touching that was going on a lot has happened. If you want the full story, listen to my episode about it. Yes, shameless plug. Okay, So Caroline Manzell, who's a friend of mine,
high Caroline, she has a cooking show that she's been promoting. So, Caroline, you gotta come on Reality with the King Babies and we can just talk about our history together. Y'all tag Caroline and tell her to hop on Reality with the King that I'm requesting her. Thanks. Caroline appeared on to teas in a pod, which is Teddy and Tammer's podcast. So in her appearance on the show, she was promoting her cooking show. Obviously, Teddy Walters. I did not Barbara Walters,
but Teddy Walters. Because so when I think about Teddy, Teddy go asked the questions that the people want to know. I love to Teddy is a journalist, hoodie, hey Portia. So Teddy was talking to Caroline about what happened in Morocco, and listen, Caroline pretty much said she can't say too
much on it. An investigation was launch. You know, she felt traumatized by the experience, and she said that she will never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever ever go back to Housewives, whether it's a Housewives show which is Jersey, or a Housewives Ultimate Girls trip. Caroline says she's done with the Housewives brand period point end of blank. So then Brandy Glamville went on Teresa's podcast called No Mistake Bitches,
This is the t of the TTTTTTT. While Brandy was on the podcast, Teresa told Brandy, I feel bad for you, Brandy, just because I feel like no one should go through this. If you sign up to be on a TV show together, then you're in it together. Nobody should take anybody's job away, especially a single mom. I would never want to do that. She continues. It's sad because Brandy's a single mom. She's raising two sons, and it's like sad. I would never want to take someone's job away. I'm not into that.
I'm so not into that. I was a single mom at one point. You shouldn't try to hurt someone. I just don't like anybody's job taking away. Okay, So Teresa said that because allegedly they're saying that Brandy may forever be banned from the network due to what happened on this trip, and that's just the case. But here goes
the mess brain drops. Teresa called Teddy and Tamera shit starters and said that they were bad friend for having Caroline on their podcast to talk about Brandy because Brandy and Tamra and Teddy are friends too, and Teresa felt that Teddy and Tamara batriands okay, honey, miss Tamra, Lord Jesus, like I know, Tamarra loves the shit, okay. So she got into it with Teresa by hopping on her podcast two Teeth and a Pop and said, sit down, shut up like you're doing right now at the reunion, Oh, Tamra,
Lord Jesus. Okay. So then Tamra said that Brandy is her dear friend and that they did give Brandy a hiss up that Caroline was hopping on their podcast, and she said that she had no problem with her interviewing. Manz oh, and this is me telling you Teresa to shut the fuck up. But Honey, it gets it gets worse, It gets worse. And when I say worse, it gets worse. Child, Tamar said, not today, jailbird, not today, forehead. One thing
about Teresa. Teresa does not back down to a fight, asked Danielle, ask ask Caroline, ask Margaret, asked, Jackie, asked, Kathy, asked Rosie, Child, asked Andy who she pushed at the reunion. Honey, Teresa does not back down for a fight, baby, But Tamar doesn't either. This beef to be is so hilarious because this is let me tell you how I feel. I feel like at the end of the day, everybody's allowed to stay how they feel, and I don't want any b to happen on podcasts. It's sort of like
Biggie versus Tupac. Okay, the East Coast chall Tamar and Teresa are Biggie and Tupac. Teresa's on the East Coast like Biggie. So we gonna call Teresa the Notorious t r E. Yes, honey, okay, so the Notorious t r E. That's Teresa, okay. And Tupac is from the West Coast like Tamra. So instead of Tupac, we're gonna call her to Tam. So we got the Notorious tr E and to Tam Okay, that's the tea honey, all right. We don't need this beach escalate because Teresa is from Patterson
and Teresa is a thug. Baby, Teresa is a thug and a Lepard dress, and I don't I'm from Patterson, Honey, did you forget it? Yes? Teresa at Tamra aka to Tam honey, to Tam through a drink on Gina's face, honey, and said, bitch, get the fuck out my face. Bitch. Let me tell y'all something. I don't want the Notorious tr E and to Tam to get into it. We need this East Coast best. We need this East Coast versus West Coast beef to stop. Like the rappers say,
to leave it on wax, which means the record. I need for Notorious tr and to Tam to leave it on the pod. Honey. I don't want this beef to escalate, but we all know what's going to happen. I could tell y'all was going to happen. Y'all heard it here first. This is a reality with the King exclusive honey. Yes, at Bravo Khan in Vegas. I promise you Andy is going to have He's going to have Notorious tr E in to tam address their beef on the stage. I can tell you what it's going to happen. That's how
it's going to get resolved. So well. I need for this East Coast versus West Coast beef. I need this to simmer down. I don't want the tree huggers or what's Tammar's fan club called Tamar text me your fan club name because I want to be able to say it on the upcoming episode. Honey. So, because I don't about the tree huggers to tack Tamraff's fan club hoddy, because we don't need that. So, Carlos King, the King of Reality TV, call me don King, honey. Because I
don't want this beep. I am the promoter. I need you all to stop. I don't want this to get out of hand. We're all having fun on our various podcasts.
