MARY BONNET FITZGERALD (on Selling Sunset, Chrishell & G, Nick Cannon & Life Without Christine Quinn) Jul 05, 2023

Show notes

Mary Bonnet Fitzgerald steps back Behind The Rope. Selling Sunset Season Six. What did we all do to deserve this epic season of, as I often say, the best reality show to basically ever exist. Put a period on that. Mary chats about all the season long drama - Chrishell / Nicole, Chelsea / Bre all while often being caught in the middle as Managing Director of The Oppenheim Group while boss Jason is away. Sorry Chelsea, the job is taken. Mary talks all the ever changing relationships in the office - newlyweds Chrishell & G, newly single - again - Jason and ex Marie Lou and a topic which seemed to come up often this season, Bre and Baby Daddy Nick Cannon. Mary chats the absence of Christine, the always epic real estate porn, the better than ever fashion and, of course, what we can expect as we look ahead to the already filmed Season Seven. Tune in now!

RHONY Tom D'Agostino's BFF & Ex-"Fiancé" (on Luann, Ramona, Dorinda, RHONY Nostalgia & Tom) Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

Anna Rothschild Steps Behind The Rope. On the heels of the return of the, shall we call it new, RHONY, or RHONY reboot, if you will, we take a trip down memory lane with the one and only Anna Rothschild. Who is Anna Rothschild, you ask? Anna Rothschild is the woman pictured all over London sporting a 22 Carat Yellow Canary Diamond Ring with Tom D’Agostino mere days after Tom’s divorce from Luann sent shock waves throughout the BravoVerse. Yes, it really was all about Tom. Anna has known Tom D’Agostino for twenty years. She has known Harry Dubin for around thirty. A true insider, Anna chats Tom, Harry, The Regency, RHONY and that 22 Carat Yellow Diamond Ring. Anna has also known Sonja, Dorinda, Luann, Ramona and all our favorite Legacy babes forever. We discuss who she likes, doesn’t like, what the women are like off camera and the status of these relationships today. Anna doesn’t just know everyone, she knows everything about everyone and is here to dish it all. A true nostalgic trip down the RHONY memory lane. Ahh, the good ole’ days.

THOM FILICIA (on Early Days of Bravo, RHONY, RHOBH, Andy Cohen & Queer Eye) Jul 02, 2023

Show notes

Thom Filicia steps Behind The Rope. Having just had Jai Rodriquez on the Pod, we figured it was a great time to continue our trip down memory lane from the early days of Bravo and share this epic chat we had with Thom. Queer Eye For the Straight Guy. Bravo Royalty. Thom takes us back to the beginning of how he got cast for Queer Eye by getting stuck in an elevator. Thom talks about the behind the scenes filming, producer involvement, and what he thought about the finished product once the show aired. He talks about how life changed once Queer Eye came out and catapulted him into the public eye. Of course we discuss cast mates Carson Kressley, Jai Rodriguez, Ted Allen and Kyan Douglas. We discuss what Bravo was like in those early days, the evolution of the network, and Andy Cohen. Thom tells us stories from the vault about designing projects for celebrity clients such as JLO. Thom also chats RHOBH, RHONY and more Housewives! Of course, no discussion of Queer Eye would be complete without a nod to the current Netflix series and Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown, Tan France and Bobby Berk.

KIM D. (on Bo Dietl's Message To RHONJ Cast, Frank's Praise of Luis, Tre's Prayers, Mel's Lies & Margaret's Games) Jul 01, 2023

Show notes

Kim D. is in rare form as she breaks down our chat earlier this week with Bo Dietl sharing new info on his many messages to The Gorgas, Margaret, Luis, Tre and Andy. In other RHONJ news, Kim shares updates on Frank Catania’s recent “backpedalling”, deep dives John Fuda’s shady past, reveals the truth about The Gorga’s home make over and much more. Looking ahead to next season, Kim explains why there could be more to Marge allegedly going to HR to complain about Luis, why Marge is smarter than we have given her credit for, the conundrum that is Luis Ruelas, what the cast is likely to look like when the show returns - hint: not at all what you expect and how, based on the heated on-line toxicity of Tre vs Mel that is reigning as strong as ever, we should not expect the RHONJ pause to end any time soon.

Bo Dietl (BTS From Our Interview/Unshared Info), Andy Cohen's Bethenny Frankel Diss & Why RHOBH Exit Helped Rinna's Career Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

With all the hoopla over our interview earlier this week with Bo Dietl, we go behind the scenes on what he really thinks about the cast of RHONJ, the truth behind the rumors he investigated them all at the hands of Luis Ruelas, reveal new never before heard info about what each cast member’s “file” could contain and who should potentially be the most scared - Marge, Joey Gorga, and so on. Whew! Once we let all that sink in and recover, we break down Andy Cohen’s supposed recent diss to Bethenny Frankel, Bethenny’s response, and the real likelihood that we will see Jill Zarin and Bethenny on RHONY RHUGT Legacy amidst all the rumors that these two OG’s represent the “extra apples” in the original show announcement earlier this year. Finally, we share updates on Kim and Kroy’s nasty divorce, chat Kim’s RHOA return and why being terminated from RHOBH was and is the best thing to ever happen to Lisa Rinna.

Ariana & Raquel's Future Reconciliation, Faith Stowers "Sues" Stassi, Jax's VPR Return & Kim vs Kroy Gets Ugly Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

While we contemplate whether the drama between Teresa and Melissa and future cast of RHONJ has replaced Scandoval as Bravo’s most talked about topic these days, we recap this insane season and put a bow on it now that it has ended. Speaking of Scandoval, we discuss how the VPR cast seems to be hedging and softening on their stance toward Raquel, what next season of the show will most likely look like and whether there is any world in which we exist where Ariana can one day forgive Raquel and unite against Tom Sandoval - at least for TV if nothing else - moving forward. In other VPR news, Faith Stowers starts a “Go Fund Me” to sue Stassi Schroeder and have her book removed from shelves, Jax Taylor makes moves to return and more. Next we break down just how ugly Kim and Kroy’s divorce is getting and just how broke they are. Finally, we chat RHUGT RHONY Legacy, Sonja and Luann’s Welcome To Crappie Lake and the RHONY Reboot, two of which are hitting our Bravo screens in the next week or two!

MELISSA RIVERS (on Uncertain RHONJ Future, Bethenny Frankel Diss, Andy Cohen's WWHL Regret & Kathy/Kyle Reconciliation) Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

Melissa Rivers is back for our monthly kiki about all things Housewives and Bravo. Starting at the top, literally, with Mr. Boss Man himself, we deep dive the recent Bethenny Frankel diss on "And Just Like That”, whether that had anything to do with Andy Cohen and his BFF Sarah Jessica Parker and Bethenny’s epic clap back. In other B news, we chat her engagement, how many karats that ring is, fiancé Paul, new biz ventures and the claims she and Jill Zarin will appear on RHONY Legacy Girl’s Trip. Speaking of Andy, we break down his recent defense of Meghan Markle, his regrets about never having her on WWHL and who he also seems to not want to have on his late night talk show. Hint, she is a huge Below Deck fan and on this episode with us here today. Finally, we talk about the truth behind Kathy and Kyle’s rumored reconciliation in Aspen, whether Kathy and Kyle are headed for Teresa and Melissa territory and if it is possible for RHONJ to return with both Melissa and Teresa. Hint: It’s Complicated.
