Show notes

Melissa’s Old Nose steps back Behind The Rope. Gabriela, that is and yes, she is back. Teresa, Melissa, Jennifer Aydin and the rest of the cast of RHONJ continue to be asked about the RHONJ bloggers which have taken over and effected this season to reveal secret DMs, leaked screeners and spoilers that were allegedly obtained directly from Teresa, her attorney, Jennifer Aydin and more. John Fuda’s alleged criminal past has just emerged on line. Gabriela has info on that which proves that nothing has been learned and that all parties involved are still working with external bloggers despite Andy’s annoyance, disdain and promise that an entire RHONJ rebrand is coming. Gabriela reveals never before heard details on Tre and Louie, the few remaining episodes of this season, the alternate RHONJ reunion, why Teresa angered producers at the alternate reunion and much more. Finally, we discuss the upcoming RHONJ pause, Andy Cohen’s four possible ways to fix this toxic, broken franchise and denial of most cast members whose lives are about to drastically change in a few short weeks when this season of RHONJ quickly comes to an end.

Show notes

Ahead of tonight’s RHONJ episode, Melissa’s Old Nose jumps on here to discuss what we can expect from this evening’s second to last, possibly ever, RHONJ episode. Teresa’s shady lawyer, Margaret’s plan, bold moves by Jen Fessler. Melissa’s Old Nose breaks it all down with shocking reveals, scenes we may never see and more. We then discuss all the strange social media behavior from the RHONJ cast, the horror Bravo must be going through as a result and the very uncertain future of this once top rated franchise. We discuss it all!

Show notes

The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Peggy Tanous steps Behind The Rope. The original Peggy from the OC. RHOC Season 18, Episode 3. With a stellar return to form season of RHOC, we are so here for it. We discuss Peggy’s friends and past Orange Holders Gretchen Rossi, Heather Dubrow, Lydia McLaughlin, Lynn Curtin, Lauri Peterson and Lizzie Rovsek. What a trip down memory lane and yes Peggy knows them all. Peggy also recounts her friendship with Alexis (“Jesus Jugs”) Bellino before they were on RHOC together, how Alexis and Jim Bellino were involved in her being cast, the issues she had filming with her during their season, how the show changed their friendship and the status of their relationship today. We reminisce on how RHOC has changed throughout the years and discuss the evolution of Vicki (Don, Brooks, Steve) and Tamra (Simon, Eddie), these once BFFS. With the OC back in our lives, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with Peggy Tanous.

Beverly Hills Shi Shi Shi’s KEVIN LEE (on Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Katie Maloney Apology, RHOBH & VPR) II Jul 24, 2024

Show notes

Kevin Lee steps back Behind The Rope. Beverly Hills Shi Shi Shi!!!! The Man, the Myth, the Legend, the Icon. Never has a guest star on Housewives made such a splash with one sentence which became the tag line of his life with countless fans stopping him daily around the world to utter those three words, “shi, shi, shi”. Kevin talks about how, although life changed as a result of his RHOBH appearance, he has had a successful wedding and event planning biz for a long time prior. Kevin talks celeb clients - Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Tom Cruise, Drew Barrymore, Oprah!, The Kardashians, working with billionaires who have no budget, wedding do’s and don’ts, his special Kevin Lee flair and having the character Franck Eggelhoffer from Father of the Bride based on him. Of course, Kevin talks lifelong client and friend Lisa Vanderpump, throwing Pandora’s wedding, planning Kyle Richards SoFi stadium “White Party" featured last season on RHOBH, the fall out between Kyle and LVP, Kyle and Mauricio, what Lisa Vanderpump told him about returning to RHOBH and much more. Of course, we also address that time he “fat shamed” Katie Maloney on Vanderpump Rules and the world came for him. Kevin mentions it all in this epic, iconic chat which had us smiling from ear to ear! Part II starts now.

MONICA GARCIA (on Reality Von Tease, Cast Mates, Jen Shah & Life After RHOSLC) II Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

Monica Garcia steps back Behind The Rope. Reality Von Tease is in the house! The woman behind THE most exciting moment, season, scene, development in Housewives History since, well, Teresa’s table flip over a decade ago. Receipts, Proof, Timeline, Screenshots. We cover fu$king everything. Monica takes us through it all clarifying what were various still confusing timelines of how she went from fan to an actual bona fide breakout superstar Real Housewife on RHOSLC Season 4. We talk about the true facts behind her current “cooling off” period, personal life, tumultuous relationship with her mom, upcoming RHOSLC Season 5, Dita Von Teese, rumors of a Lisa vs Whitney feud - again and where the once great, then not so great, then best season ever of Salt Lake goes next now that she is no longer part of the journey. Finally, bringing it back to where it all started, we break down the Jen Shah of it all, what she would say to Jen - and RHOSLC cast - today, what she would like to have happen in five years when Ms. Shah is expected to be a free woman and much, much more! Part II starts now.
