Bling Empire's Andrew Gray (on What Really Goes on Behind The Scenes of a Hit Reality TV Show) II Mar 31, 2024

Show notes

Bling Empire’s Andrew Gray steps back Behind The Rope. Bling Empire, one of the best reality shows, well, ever. Andrew chats about how he got involved with Netflix’s break out 2021 hit show about a group of very wealthy, and we mean very very wealthy, “friends” living in Los Angeles and what filming was like. Andrew is very forthcoming about his “role” as the shows “villain” (his words, not ours), when he knew he was going to be portrayed this way and how he feels about this edit. Andrew blows the door wide open on what was real vs fake (imagine a reality show not being 100% real), the toxicity of Reality TV, cast mates, his own struggles with mental health and more about Blind Empire. We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Andrew Gray. Part II starts now.

RACHEL UCHITEL (Spoke to Mike Shouhed Last Night Amidst Assault Charges, Dated David Foster & We Chat Teresa Giudice’s Rumored RHONJ Spin Off) Mar 30, 2024

Show notes

RHONJ is not back on the air yet but the drama is running hot, hawt, h-o-t. Rumors swirl this week as Bloggers reveal Teresa Giudice was allegedly offered a spin off, turned it down for various reasons which we discuss and has all sorts of other plans, along with Louie, to destroy Messy G, John Fuda and, well, anyone else who apparently gets in her way. In other RHONJ news, Messy G opens - finally - her LI, ENVY store, Marge and Jackie take a pic together which means a lot more than meets the eye and Marge The Sarge rides hard for her new BFF. Moving on, we break down The Valley and Buying Beverly Hills and share the good and bad news as Kyle Richards’ rides a Cowgirl, Mauricio fears and avoids the truth about Morgan and Kristen Doute proves she was, is and will always be the real star of the VanderVerse. Annemarie has issues with the RHOBH cast, Candiace exits RHOP and the number of Housewives cities on pause continues to rise despite Bravo and Producer claims that all is just hunky dory. Pun intended.
