How did a woman with a Bluetooth pacemaker vanish without a trace for 24 days in 2026?

Heather McDonald welcomes Zack Peter to Juicy Scoop, recorded on a Tuesday afternoon. They open with the case of Nancy Guthrie, missing for 24 days, noting Savannah Guthrie's $1 million reward offer and the lack of evidence despite modern surveillance. Heather previews an upcoming interview with Matt Murphy, who theorizes Nancy is deceased and her body was hidden. The discussion critiques the family's delayed reward and public behavior. The hosts then pivot to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, detailing Whitney Rose's intoxicated drag brunch where she called Meredith Marks a 'fucking bitch' and a liar. Heather shares an anecdote from Kyle Richards' white party where Whitney and others warned Giselle Bryant about Lisa Barlow's untrustworthiness. They debate Bravo's fines and restrictions on housewives, with Zack arguing Bravo's gatekeeping of interviews stifles organic drama, contrasting it with Hulu's approach. The Traitors finale is analyzed, with predictions that traitors Rob and Eric will win, and speculation Rob might turn on Eric. They discuss Lisa Rinna's appearance on The Traitors and a TMZ story alleging she was roofied at the premiere party, suggesting it's a PR leak from Colton's team ahead of the reunion. Rinna's book is mentioned, including her criticism of Bravo and Andy Cohen, and addressing rumors about Harry Hamlin's sexuality. The episode covers Tyra Banks' hot ice cream business and legal disputes, a documentary about America's Next Top Model's toxic culture, and Ghislaine Maxwell's past relationship with billionaire Ted Waitt. Other topics include a BAFTA incident where a man with Tourette's shouted a racial slur, current Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season dynamics, and Blake Lively's legal settlement negotiations with Justin Baldoni. The episode concludes with promotional details for Zack's podcast and Heather's live shows.
