Kylie Kelce knows there’s a dark-haired woman on Vanderpump Rules, but that’s pretty much where her knowledge of the Bravo hit ends.
Kelce, 32, brought pop culture expert Amanda Hirsch on to the Thursday, January 23, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. There, the two participated in a segment Kelce calls “Coach Me Up,” where her guest gives her a quick lesson on whatever subject they’re an expert in.
When it comes to reality TV, the soon-to-be mother of four needed all the coaching she could get.
“I’m not gonna lie, I am so bad at keeping up with [pop culture] I can’t even put it into words,” she admitted. “I do not watch, really, reality TV. I don’t keep up with celebrity happenings.”
While her first question was understandable for someone without much reality TV knowledge — she asked which Real Housewives franchise she should watch) — her second highlighted exactly how behind the times she really is.
“What is Vanderpump Rules?” she asked.
Hirsch turned away from the camera as she responded, “Oh my God, we have work to do.”
Kelce clarified, adding she does know something about the show.
“I know that there is, like, a pretty matriarch, dark-haired woman who is the head,” she said, describing Bravo icon Lisa Vanderpump. “That’s all I know. That’s all I got. I couldn’t tell you who else is involved in the show, I couldn’t tell you the woman’s name.”
Hirsch then gave Kelce a quick history lesson on how the show evolved out of Vanderpump’s origin on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, focusing on the drama between the staff at her restaurant, SUR.
“But they’re, like, 45 now so they haven’t been working at the restaurant,” Hirsch added. “But I’m so glad that now you know. I’m going to take this honor with me that now you know what it is.”
Kelce did not commit to catching up on all 11 seasons of the Bravo hit, but she did ask for advice on which dating show to start watching. She clarified that she has heard of Love Island but has not seen “a single episode.”
Hirsch recommended she start with Love Is Blind instead — a smaller commitment than Love Island, which has seasons that can run up to 49 episodes.
Like VPR, Kelce had the most basic knowledge of the show.
“Is Love Is Blind when they are speaking through a wall?” she asked. “And they meet up at the end in a weird little hallway? I’ve seen the hallway in TikTok clips.”
She assured Hirsch that she would try Love Is Blind, “If I get there.”
