- Her "Housewives" impressions - are never duds,
And when her pals get arrested,
she hits the suds.
- It's "Watch What - Happens Live"

and Amy Phillips now.

- Hey, everybody, welcome - to "Watch What Happens Live."
- I'm your host Andy Cohen - in the Bravo Clubhouse
- With a "Real Housewives" - cookbook author
And a Housewife who braised
herself in bubbles.
My first guest alternated
between roasting s'mores
- and roasting - Jen Shah tonight.
- Please welcome Meredith Marks! - Hey, Meredith!
- Hi! - Great to see you!
- You, too.
- And my next guest
- spends her days - impersonating Housewives,
But her newest project
- has her channeling - her inner professional chef.
- Get yourself a copy of - "Cook It, Spill It, Throw It:
The Not-So-Real Housewives
Parody Cookbook."
It's so fun.
- Uh, it features - a forward from me.
Give it up for our friend
Amy Phillips.
Hey, Amy!
Great to see you!
- Great to see you, too! - So excited about the book!
And over at the bar,
- he and Amy put - their heads together
- Like "Whitney and Heather... - Bad Weather."
- It's Amy's coauthor for - "Cook It, Spill It, Throw It,"
- Stuart O'Keefe! - Hey, Chef Stu!
- Hi! Hey, guys.
- What's your favorite - recipe in the book?
- Um, the Hamsterdam
Grilled Cheese.
- Yes! We love Hamsterdam.
- I love that.
- Yes, uh, drinking game alert... - My guests won't know it,
- But any time you hear anyone - say this word,
If you're 21 or over,
- in honor of - "Cook It, Spill It, Throw It,"
Drink until you scream it,
regret it, and then bite it.
- Okay, I want to dive into - tonight's Salt Lake.
We have a lot to discuss.
Uh, moments ago
at the end of the episode,
Lisa, uh, said that
Cameron mortgaged his house
and gave Mary and her church
300 grand.
Reaction to that?
- Um, was it coerced?
- Because if it wasn't, - that's a charitable donation.
We all, uh, cheered
when, uh,
the gentlemen at, uh,
Angie Harringon's Encircle event
made a million
dollar donation.
Why would it be wrong
for somebody else
to make a $300,000 donation,
unless it was coerced?
- Interesting.
Now something we didn't talk
about from last week
which I, uh, want
your opinion on.
Uh, somehow we overlooked it
in the madness...
That Mary has her husband
in her phone as "Dad."
- What was your reaction to that? - Oh, right.
- That, uh, speaks volumes... - Yes!
- Uh, that she is married - to her father, clearly.
- Right. - Mm-hmm.
- Right, or her
step-grandfather.
- Yes. - Right. Yes.
- Um, Meredith, reaction to
Jen's meeting
with her lawyer tonight.
- Um, I mean, she needs
legal council.
- Well, yes. - She should be.
- She does. - Did she... how...
What did you think of her
energy with her lawyer?
She-she is vehement
that she is not guilty.
- I think, uh,
- in the United States of America - court of law,
- You are innocent - until proven guilty.
- That is correct. - Okay, now talk to me
About the private eye,
because that was
a revelation, right, Amy,
that Meredith had hired
a private eye?
How long ago
had you done this?
- Uh, it was quite a while ago - at this point.
- Was it during - season one?
- No, it was after - we wrapped.
Um, I had gotten...
Er, not me.
- One of my children - had received
Some very ugly threatening
text messages,
- and I had a conversation - with Heather,
And she had told me
that she received similar types
of messages personally, and, um,
there was an interesting
vernacular to the messages,
- so I didn't hire - an investigator
To investigate any person
in particular.
- I hired someone to investigate - the messages.
- And-and this P.I. found
that they came from her?
- A burner phone? - They did not...
- Yeah, it was from - a burner phone.
They said that
they thought the...
- That it was very, very likely - that they came from Jennifer,
- But they were - not conclusive in it,
And that's why I dropped it.
- Was the investigator
Megan King?
[laughter]
- Perhaps?
- Well, good question.
Good question.
Um, you know,
everyone was astonished
when the news broke
about Jen.
Uh, everyone
except Meredith
who calmly reacted by reaching
for the nearest bath bomb.
And since Meredith's
understated reaction
has landed her
in some hot water,
- it's time to get into - your state of mind.
I have a stack of questions
about last week's episode.
What was your reaction
when you saw Lisa
whisper in the van
that you may have had
something to do with things
or that you may know more
than everyone else?
- Um, I was pretty
disappointed.
- To, you know, potentially - implicate your friend
In a federal investigation
is a pretty big deal.
- Lots of speculation about
why you went in the tub,
how long you were
in the tub
and what-what was that about?
- Okay, so I'm a bather.
I love to bathe.
- I really don't shower. - I bathe.
- I wash my hair in the tub. - Yes.
- Like it's...
It's my place of peace.
- So with everything - that was going on,
- I needed to, like, - take it down for a minute.
I just needed to relax,
and it was probably about
an hour-long bath.
- I don't think that's - anything so crazy.
- Okay, when Mary left
to go get situated,
you stayed in the tub,
and then the others arrived,
and you remained
in the tub.
- Well, you know, - they got there very quickly.
I was motivating
to get out.
- I like that you
added more bubbles.
- Of course. - Yes.
How did you have no info
about Jen's arrest
until the Facetime?
- Yeah, I mean, I had - gotten to the house,
And as you... as you saw,
you know, the, uh, managers
- were kind of taking me around, - showing me everything...
- [indistinct]
- Yes.
- And it was beautiful.
- They did such an incredible job, - and so I just...
- I wasn't really paying - all that much attention.
- Reaction to Jen
telling the others
that Sharrieff had
internal bleeding.
- Not something
I would have done.
- Who do you think
called her?
- I mean, you know,
it-it appears that it was...
I-I don't know,
because she says it was,
you know, Sharrieff's number,
- but it was someone else - on the other end,
But I don't think the FBI
- tries to impersonate - other phone numbers.
- But I don't really - know that.
I'm not part of the FBI.
- Thoughts on the footage - of the, uh,
Search warrant and raid
on Shah Chalet?
- It was upsetting to me - to see the kids.
- It was very upsetting - to watch the kids.
I was really
very heartbroken.
- It made me sad. - Very sad.
- Why does Lisa Barlow
have six attorneys?
- Um, I don't know.
I think a lot of people
in business
have a lot of attorneys.
- What I thought was - a little unusual
Was to have six
in-house attorneys,
- 'cause she said they're - on her payroll.
Um, so that, to me,
was a little unusual.
- But six attorneys? - No, that's not so strange.
- Were you shocked at how
knowledgeable Whitney was
- at breaking - everything down?
Were you, Amy?
I was. I was amazed.
- Totally shocked. - Totally impressed.
- And I could watch - that all day.
- Yeah, were you, or...
- Totally.
- I had no idea she knew - that much about it.
I thought it was
very interesting.
- What did you think - of Heather's revelation
That Jen ditched her Uber
on the side of the road?
- I mean, I just thought - it was strange.
- Why did you wait so long
to tell the women
what went down with Jen
and the employee at your store?
- You know, it's like,
you try to give someone
- the benefit of the doubt - on things,
- You try to give - some leeway,
- And I think - we all kinda know,
I'm not really
a real big gossip.
That's just not my thing.
So the reason I went
into that stuff now
- is because - there are allegations
Of fraud,
which to me,
fraud means we're dealing
with, um, stealing and lies.
- Those are, like, - the elements to me
- That, you know, - you're looking at.
- And so we're all, you know, - at this point
Trying to understand
what's going on.
- And so I felt like it was - actually important information.
- Thank you very much,
Meredith, wow.
Um, well, Amy breaks down
all the Real House tea
on her Radio Andy program
"Reality Checks"...
- "Reality Checked," - and when it comes to hot takes
Nobody can check her, boo.
- Uh, let's get - into those right now
- With Brav-Oh No - They Didn't!
- Before the first question, - I forgot to ask you
- What you thought of seeing - Nicki Minaj
Take the chair at the end
of the "Potomac" reunion.
- Oh, I thought - it was invigorating.
- I mean, she just - jumped right in.
- And right down
Ashley's throat, right?
- Unbelievable. - I was taken aback
- And delighted at the same time. - I can't wait for more.
It's so exciting.
- Um, after the explosive 4-part
"Beverly Hills" reunion,
- where do you stand - on all things Erika?
Did she convince you, um,
of-of anything?
- Well, she convinced me
that she's not going
- for the Miss Congeniality - award for sure.
- Right.
- I think that - Tom is the monster,
And Erika is just a character
that is unbelievable to watch.
And now that I know
that she's so "approachable,"
- I'm excited for the next season - when the ladies
- Can ask her some questions, - and she'll answer, right?
- Right. "Potomac,"
why do you believe
- Gizelle still feels the need - to put on such a tough front
- When it comes - to being vulnerable
In her relationships?
- Oh, I love Gizelle - so much,
- And I think-I think they - really hit it on the head.
It's all about her kids.
- Now, listen, I read her book, - "Word on the Street."
- Really? - Yes, and I know
It's "fictional."
- Yes.
- But it had shades
of what she went through.
And it honestly
is really intense.
- It's very emotional, - and it's sad.
- So she built up - those walls
- Just like she's building on - the entryway to her house
- And putting on - all these things.
- And I think that's... - [laughter]
- Um, "Jersey," reaction to
Teresa and Louis's engagement.
- I think she found
all the "ingredientses" of love.
And if he screws up,
I'm coming after him,
- because we gotta - protect that lady.
- Thought's on Marlo
snatching a peach.
- I'm so happy.
I'm so, so happy.
- Yes. - Bravo.
- Um, now had you been
in the sprinter van
in Salt Lake City,
- how would you have handled - the feds swarming around you?
- Oh, wow, I probably
would've done
a little bit of everything.
- I probably would've called - six therapists,
Not six lawyers.
- Right.
- I would have definitely
gone for the snacks.
- And I would've maybe gone out - and checked out
The SWAT team a little,
maybe did some fist bumps.
- Which Kathy Hilton
colloq... colloquialism
do you find yourself
quoting the most?
- Oh, so many. Probably,
"It's just Tahoe."
- Um, thoughts on Jenny
and the reaction to her husband
going against her wishes
and asking for a sister-wife
to expand her family?
- I really like Jenny.
Um, that is incredibly
disturbing.
However, if she does go
down that route,
the sister-wife thing,
I'm gonna say let's pick Walla.
- Wow, interesting.
- Bring her in. - She's from Salt Lake.
Just putting it out there.
- What was your reaction to - the sister-wife conversation?
- I mean, I think that's
a massive decision
that I could not even
get my head around.
- Yes. - It's huge.
- Well, the good news is - your husband Seth is here.
And so, um...
[cheers and applause]
He, um, wanted to talk to you
about this sister-wife idea.
- We're gonna talk about it - during the break.
When we come back
- we'll have a whole lot more - with these guys.
- Here's who's coming up - this week.
Don't go anywhere.
♪ Watch what happens live
watch what happens live ♪
- Welcome back to - "Watch What Happens Live."
It's Sunday night.
- I'm Andy Cohen - in the Bravo Clubhouse
With one guest who specializes
in Housewife cuisine
- and another who wants Jen Shah's - head on a platter.
Say hi to Salt Lake City
Housewife Meredith Marks
and Amy Phillips.
- Amy's Housewife-inspired - cookbook
- "Cook It, Spill It, Throw It" - is out now.
[cheers and applause]
I mean, you gotta stand.
We gotta see this jumpsuit.
- Oh, my gosh, thank you, Andy. - We love it so much.
[cheers and applause]
- A little something.
- I mean, wow.
- Over at the bar - it's Amy's cookbook co-author.
- Does that make him - her side dish?
Say hi to Stuart O'Keefe.
Yes.
Stuart, you're a main course.
- I'm a main course.
- Thanks, Andy. - You're welcome.
- Drinking game reminder: - anytime you hear this word,
In honor of Mary calling Whitney
a little girl,
drink until you do
a little hurl.
What did you think of how
Mary was treating Whitney
this episode?
- Not very nice.
And Whitney keeps trying.
She's trying so hard.
- And I... but then - she turns around,
- And she kind of starts - talking about Mary, so you know.
- Right. - Perfect Housewives moment.
- What did you think?
- I think that Whitney and Mary
really need to sit down
- and have a, like, conversation - one on one
Without the women there.
They really were
genuinely friends,
and it took such
a dark turn so quickly.
- Hey, y'all, do you see
that QR code right there?
How could you miss it?
- If you're starting - your holiday shopping early,
Scan it now to check out
the interactive
virtual Bravo Bazaar,
where you can shop all your
favorite Bravolebrity brands
in one place.
- You can also - check out Meredith
- On "Impulse Try - with Remi Bader"
This Black Friday
on Bravo's Instagram.
Let's go to the virtual fans.
Tricia and Sarah from
my hometown of St. Louis
have a question for Meredith.
- Hey, ladies, I'm gonna be - in St. Louis, uh,
Doing a Q&A and a signing
for my new book
- on Tuesday night. - I hope to see you there.
- What's your question? - We will be there.
- Great!
- Hi, ladies. We love you, Andy.
All right, Meredith,
what do you think
- about Jen Shah and her employee - accusing you
- Of lying about the incident - in your store
And saying it was actually
your store manager's fault
- that the purse - went missing?
- Uh, in the words
of Lisa Barlow, "roll tape."
- Like, hello, it's right there. - [laughter]
- Right, you have the footage.
- Um, yeah, it's there.
And I never used words
like "theft" and "stealing."
That's what Jen and her,
I guess, volunteer
are using to describe
the situation.
I just described what tran...
What the facts
that unfolded
between the footage
and, you know,
the conversation.
And so I never used
those terms.
- They're the ones - throwing those out there,
- Which I find to be - quite interesting.
- All right, here's Johnny
from Chicago
with a question for Amy.
Hi, Johnny.
- Hey, Andy, love your book. - Thank you!
- Congratulations on it. - Thanks.
- And Amy Phillips, - I just ordered yours.
- I'm so excited about it. - Thank you!
- Here's to that.
So on a scale of 1 to 10,
how excited are you about
the return of Heather Dubrow
and what do you think of the
upcoming season's trailer?
- I love... I'm so excited
about Heather coming back.
I love the trailer.
The beginning of her
walking through that...
- What looks like - an infinity hallway
Where, like, she just
walks off,
and then I don't know
where it goes,
- um, and I'm looking forward - to seeing more of that.
- Give me a little - Heather Dubrow.
- Well, of course - I will, Andy.
Where's my champs?
Stuart?
- Um, do you... - Who's the...
- Who's been the hardest Housewife - for you to nail?
Your impersonations
are so good.
- Margaret Josephs
was the hardest one.
- Wow. - Yeah.
She was very difficult to get.
- I had so many East Coast accents - already inside of me,
- I didn't know where - to go with it,
But once I figured out
that her melody is...
- It's up here, - and then it's down here.
- And then it's over here. - It's over here.
You know, I kind of had
to just find it. Yeah.
- Uh, well, "Salt Lake City"
gave us the most traumatizing
bus ride since "Speed,"
but since Amy can imitate
a clown car of Housewives,
I thought we could see
how well that vibed...
They vibe with Meredith
with a round
of "To Engage or Disengage,
That Is the Question."
Meredith, Amy is gonna channel
a variety of Real Housewives
right before your eyes.
After each impression,
you say if you would engage
with that Housewife.
Okay, first up
is Margaret Josephs.
- My husband and I
do the Pot Puss.
- It's the spray that you - put on your puss,
And you're supposed to have
the most unbelievable orgasm.
- Would you engage - with Margaret Josephs?
- Engage. Why not? - Okay. Very good.
- Wonderful orgasms? - I'll engage.
- Lisa Rinna.
- Okay.
I'm just an a-hole with
an iconic hair and big lips.
- You do engage
with Lisa Rinna, right?
- 100 percent, and we sell - her lip kits in my store,
So we are engaging.
- Wow, very good.
- Okay, let's go to "Orange
County"... Vicki Gunvalson.
- Okay, okay. I have never
been with multiple partners
in my life!
You are disgusting!
- Do you engage, Meredith?
- I might have to - disengage from that.
- Okay. I had a feeling.
Okay, let's go to "New York
City"... Ramona Singer.
- Okay, you know what?
Let's toast to
your marriage, okay?
- I hope you don't fall - on your face with him.
All right? I only want
the best for you.
- [laughing] - Do you engage?
- I might have - to disengage on that one.
- Okay. - You know what? Fine.
- Let's go to "Jersey."
- I wanna get
breast implants,
but my husband,
he's more of an ass guy.
A-a-and he loves
my boobies.
- We engage.
- You do. You engage.
- Okay, back to
"Orange County."
- Nothing you say will hurt me,
because you are trash.
- Do you engage - with Heather Dubrow?
- Gotta disengage - on name calling.
- Whoa, you disengage
on name calling.
Okay, Erika Jayne.
- All right, "Miss Small Town
I'm So Worried
- "About My Mother Having - a Reputation,"
You shut up!
- Yeah, we definitely
disengage on that.
Those are not words I like.
- Okay, last up.
- I'm just being approachable.
[laughing]
- Sutton Stracke.
- Jealous of what?
Your ugly leather pants?
[laughing]
- While I do think - it's hysterical,
We have to disengage there.
- Thank you very much!
By the way,
you both win
a "Good Time Girl"
uh, holiday sweater
- available at - shopbybravo.com...
- Oh, my gosh! - Under "Virtual Bravo Bazaar."
You can order yours today.
- By the way, - the book is really funny,
And it's quite shady.
You have One-Time
Teddi Turkey Tacos.
- What's one... is that - because she was...
- No, on time, - because Ricky had to wait.
- Oh, on time. - I thought it said "One time."
Oh, my God.

All right, welcome back
to "Watch What Happens Live."
I'm Andy here with Meredith,
Amy, and Stuart O'Keefe
at the bar.
- Um, Meredith, Matthew J. - Wants to know
- How your opinion - of Mary changed
- After hearing what Whitney and - Lisa had to say her about her...
Had to say about her
to you tonight.
- You know, I have
a-a problem
- with all that's - going on,
Because I'm being told all
of these, like, cryptic things,
- and no one's giving me - a lot of fact,
- And the only thing - that's coming from fact
- Is really coming from, - you know,
Cameron, who I met once,
who I don't know well,
- or did not know well, - you know.
Unfortunately, we know
he passed away,
and, um, and he was ill,
- and he did have - a condition
- That could impair - his perception of reality.
I'm not saying it was.
I don't know,
and I don't know him,
and so I can't give
too much to it.
- Okay, uh, Amy,
Erin S. wants to know
- if you would have gone - through Jen's snack bag
If you were on the bus
after she left.
- Absolutely.
- Um, Meredith, - Sheila H. wants to know
If you anticipated what was
gonna happen on the bus.
Is that why you went
ahead of everyone
to the vacation house?
- I mean, I wish - I could say yes,
- Because then I would have, like, - incredible foresight, but no.
I had no idea.
- Or it would mean - you called the feds.
- Or it would mean I called - the feds, I suppose. Yes.
- You-you did not call the feds? - I did not.
- Okay. Um, Damien V.
Wants to know
if it scares you seeing how fast
Mary turned on Whitney.
Do you think Mary
could do that to you?
- Mary is very much
in the moment, so yes.
She... if she's upset,
she's going to tell you.
- And sometimes - her word choices
Are not exactly
what I would choose.
So you have to know Mary
and be able to...
To have thick skin
in those moments,
and-and you move forward.
She moves forward.
- All right, it is time
for tonight's
"Watch What Happens 5."
As we all know, Meredith Marks
is the queen of disengaging.
But since Amy Phillips
does the best Meredith
- out of any of us here, - including Meredith herself,
- I'm having her count down - the top five things
We are disengaging from
in 2021 as Meredith.
Uh, Amy... I mean, Meredith,
the floor is yours.
- Number 5...
Unhealthy marriages
and toxic relationships
that traumatize
and terrorize.
- That's so good.
- Number 4... Masks that
are not inspired.
- Yes!
- Number 3... Everything
that isn't a blazer
- or doesn't look like a blazer. - Yes!
You love a blazer.
You do love a blazer.
- There we go. - I'm dressed perfectly.
- There you go. - Okay, number 2.
Number 2... Fraud.
- Okay. Number 1.
Deflecting, projecting
and lying!
- Thank you, Amy Phillips!
I'm seeing double!
- I want to thank Meredith, - Amy, and Stuart for being here.
The word of the night
