THE DOLCE GROUP: It Takes Le Deux to Tango

We hope you’re hungry because Melissa is serving up a whole meal this episode! She introduces us to a Big Brother duo (Mike Boogie Malin and Will Kirby) who take their strategic partnership out of the house and into a collection of Los Angeles restaurants…restaurants you surely remember from the early 00’s when stars like Linsday Lohan, Audrina Partridge and Britney Spears showed up to see and be seen.

But the restaurant life wasn't all paparazzi and publicity. From Belly to Ketchup, Le Deux and The Lemon Basket, The Dolce Group’s restaurants faced multiple lawsuits with increasingly higher stakes, and Mike and Will’s conflict only escalated when The Amazing Race came calling.

Despite their sweet name, The Dolce Group’s legacy will forever be soured by Mike’s incessant appetite for more money and his inability to take no for an answer.

Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:

Melissa: Down with Love Netflix

Rebekah: The Deepest Breath, Netflix

Melissa and Rebekah Put Themselves ON PAUSE

It’s Not Goodbye, It’s Just a “Pause” (Housewife Style)Like any iconic Housewife worth her tagline, Melissa and Rebekah are officially putting themselves on pause. (Let’s be honest, the pause already started, but this is the formal announcement.)In this final (for now!) episode of CRIMINALITY, the hosts reflect on how it all began, why they’re stepping back, and what’s next.Melissa is still going strong with Moms and Mysteries, now dropping episodes twice a week!Rebekah is stepping behind the mic (for now) and into a full-time PR role for podcasts, but she’ll continue yapping about something on Instagram.And don’t worry: should a new Tori Spelling docuseries drop, a Housewife get handcuffed (inevitable), or the Sister Wives saga take another chaotic turn… the mics will be ON before you can say #ThisIsaCrisis.@momsandmyteries @hi_itsrebekah ________________________________Thank you thank you for four amazing years of loving reality TV with us because it’s NOT A CRIME!Gratefully, Melissa & RebekahSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

TLC's PolyFamily Recap, Episode 4: SHUT UP SEAN!

TLC's PolyFamily Recap, Episode 4: SHUT UP SEAN!

It’s episode four of TLC’s PolyFamily and Melissa and Rebekah are back with their fourth recap—because nothing says “closed quad” like four co-parents and two co-hosts.This week, the paternity drama takes a backseat as the quad looks ahead to a much bigger challenge: securing legal parental rights for all four adults over their five shared children. Spoiler: it’s going to be a long, winding, and legally murky road.Meanwhile, the group attempts something equally complex—planning a date night. After a surprising amount of negotiation, Taya and Tyler come out on top, but is Tyler’s idea of romance a reward or a punishment?Family ties tighten and fray in equal measure as Taya receives unwavering support from her dad, sister, and brother, while Alesia expresses a desire to reconnect with her own father—despite his disapproval of their lifestyle.Melissa and Rebekah may be split on Taya vs. Alesia, and they agree Tyler’s ego took a long-overdue hit, but on one point they remain united: Sean is still the worst.Let Melissa and Rebekah know if you’re enjoying the show and want them to continue the recaps!

TLC's PolyFamily Recap, Episode 3: Father Face-off

Rebekah and Melissa are back with their third PolyFamily recap…this week, the setting and city have changed, but the conversations remain remarkably similar.This week, Alicia is still hoping to share the breastfeeding journey with Taya, but despite her best efforts she can’t lactate, so while they women are great friends, they will never be bosom buddies.Meanwhile, things heat up as the Tyler vs. Sean turf war continues to bubble just beneath the surface…until the final scene, where the baby-daddy showdown finally begins. This fight is less punches and more patronizing — thanks, Sean. Taya also shares she’s missing one thing in her life: a romantic relationship with a woman. Is this family of 9 going to become a party of 10? Only time—and TLC producers—will tell.Let Melissa and Rebekah know if you’re enjoying the show and want them to continue the recaps!

TLC's PolyFamily Recap, Episode 2: Baby Q But Will There Be A(nswers?)

TLC's PolyFamily Recap, Episode 2: Baby Q But Will There Be A(nswers?)

For a polycule that claims not to care about paternity, they sure can't stop talking about it.Welcome to our second recap of TLC’s PolyFamily—a show Melissa and Rebekah hate to love (but here we are). This week, Taya gives birth, Alicia volunteers as tribute to help breastfeed, and Sean and Tyler mark their territory… with a baby?The show lurches awkwardly from scene to scene, but what it lacks in grace it makes up for in tension, oversharing, and top-tier baby daddy drama. In the wild world of TLC, that’s basically prestige television.Let Melissa and Rebekah know if you’re enjoying the show and want them to continue the recaps!
