Show notes

Melissa Rivers is back with her very first of many monthly Bravo Reality Round-Up appearances of 2024! Sit back because there is a lot to cover! First we talk about Monica Garcia’s epic, one season only arc on RHOSLC as Reality Von Tea(se). Then, we move on to The Traitors breaking down all of our fav Housewives’ moves, deep dive who has a good chance of winning this game and discuss whether, why and how The Traitors has successfully captured and accomplished what Girls Trip set out to. Speaking of Girls Trip, we discuss whether it is a failed experiment or headed back to our Peacock screens anytime soon and share updates on the Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville drama. Finally, we're wrapping up with the season finale of "Below Deck Med," where crew drama and romances are as intense as ever! Ahh, Melissa’s favorite.

America's Next Top Model's LISA D'AMATO (on Tyra, The Judges & "Reality Reckoning") - I Jan 28, 2024

Show notes

Lisa D’Amato, from America’s Next Top Model, steps Behind The Rope. Holding nothing back, Lisa is here to tell it all. Did someone say Bethenny Frankel and Reality Reckoning? Looking back at this blast from the past chat, Lisa recalls every single thing Bethenny is now talking about loudly. Lisa chats about what living in the model house was really like, the competitiveness of her fellow model contestants and the pressure she felt from producers while filming. She chats about ANTM judges Miss J, Nigel Barker, Twiggy and last, but certainly not least, Janice Dickinson as well as about Creative Director Jay Manuel. Lisa confirms and debunks many of the vicious rumors heard over the years about the tension on the set and the “my way or the highway” rumored attitude of Tyra Banks. Leaving no detailed spared, Lisa explains how she felt she was treated by Tyra and Producers, the good, the bad, the other. There was a lot of bad and a lot of other. We discuss! Of course there was also her product pitch on Shark Tank, where she got a deal with the one and only Miss Barbara Corcoran. She takes us behind the scenes of Shark Tank and all the shenanigans taking place behind the scenes off camera.
