Mauricio Claps Back at Paris Hilton, Talks Kyle w/ Morgan & The Plan For RHOBH Season 14 Mar 19, 2024

Show notes

With the premiere of Buying Beverly Hills arriving later this week, Mauricio is doing a lot of talking about how we will see more of the dissolution of his marriage to Kyle on BBH than we saw this entire past season of RHOBH. Yes, Kyle it is our fu$king business but is this actually true or just another ploy to get the masses to tune in? Mo also claps back at Paris Hilton, discusses Kyle and Morgan and a whole lot more which we break down here today. Next we share our predictions and advice for next season of RHOBH and urge Producers to listen to us in terms of casting and storyline for what we believe will make a killer Season 14. Do not worry. This one is free of charge. All you have to do is tune in now.

Having tons of experience with labor unions as the CEO of Evergreen Construction, Barbara breaks down Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning”, weighs it’s pros and cons, discusses where we are now, her own experience on RHONY with many of the claims Bethenny has alleged exist and whether this is a noble attempt by B to help the “underprivileged” BravoLebs of today and yesteryear or housed in ulterior motives.

Show notes

Now that we have had a moment to sit back and reflect, hey its been four whole days, on the RHOBH reunion, we would like to reiterate what a nothing burgher it was. We break down Kyle’s, “It’s none of your fu$king business” statement regarding the end of her marriage to Mo, explain the real reasons Kathy was there, weighs in on the public’s outrage with Kyle, Erika and Kathy and look ahead to what we can expect when filing begins next month for Season 14. Next we address the rumors that Schwartz & Sandy’s is on its last leg while Sur is thriving - having just been to both in the past week, deep dive just what is going on this season on VPR and break down Scheana’s recent fall from grace. Finally, we discuss the ever changing tides regarding the breakup of Carl and Lindsay, this season of Summer House and why everyone will be filming with everyone on Summer House and every other Bravo show ever.

Jo De La Rosa (on RHOC, Cast Mates & Housewife Breakups & Makeups) Mar 17, 2024

Show notes

Jo De La Rosa, one of the OGs of the OC, steps Behind The Rope. Let us start at the beginning of it all, Season One, Episode One of The Real Housewives of Orange Country. Jo explains how she got cast in the freshman installment of the juggernaut franchise. The answer is not at all what you would expect. We talk about what filming was like for Jo, considering she had nothing to compare it to with The Hills, The Real World and The Simple Life being some of her only predecessors to turn to. We discuss some of Jo’s highlights from her time on RHOC, wanting to not be a “kept woman”, those dramatic always happening fights with then fiancé Slade Smiley, and that infamous French Maid's costume. Speaking of Slade, Jo discusses the end of her relationship with him and how she felt when he went on to date Fellow RHOC Housewives Lauri Peterson and Gretchen Rossi, who he is still with to this day. Jo discusses some of her past co-stars such as Vicki Gunvalson and Jeana Keough and how and why she decided to leave the show for life in Los Angeles. She also discusses her short lived follow up classic Bravo Show “Date My Ex: Jo & Slade”. We also discuss how she is not only the youngest housewife to ever be a part of the franchise (she was 24 when she joined, yes 24) but also how she was the first Housewife to ever have a hit song (fun fact: she worked with Erika Jayne's Creative Director, Mikey Minden, on the Video / Tour Choreography). We discuss her fellow Housewives Songstresses Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, Erica Jayne, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Kandi Burruss and Melissa Gorga. We figured today was the day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Joe De La Rosa.

Rachel Leviss lawsuit against Tom and Ariana moves on as rumors surface that she is getting ready to sue Bravo and many parent companies soon. We break down those rumors, discuss her possible legal claims and likelihood of success in any of these suits. Moving on, Bethenny’s ReWives has closed shop with her claiming she is the problem, too toxic for her own self but, alas, we offer another theory as to the real reasons ReWives has decided to join the many other failed podcasts over the past several months. RHOBH has concluded it’s season as our fav Diamond holders prepare to hear who is in and who is out for next season. We break all that down plus more.
