Show notes

Alexa Bliss steps Behind The Rope. WWE Champion Alexa Bliss, that is. Fresh off her Masked Singer elimination, Alexa is here to mention it all. Alexa talks about that experience, life in the WWE, her much recently publicized misunderstood “hiatus” and the biggest misconceptions of what day to day life as one of the worlds most successful and famous female wrestlers is really like. Speaking of The Masked Singer and signing, Alexa chats about what married life is like to musician husband Ryan Cabrera, having just celebrated their one year anniversary, and what is next for this powerhouse that does not seem to be slowing down any time soon.

Brandi Glanville steps Back Behind The Rope. Where do we begin with a woman who has seen, done and said it all? In true Brandi fashion, nothing is off limits. Brandi chats about the full anthology of her Housewives career from RHOBH Season Two through her termination at the end of Season Five to her recent return in RHUGT to all the never ending press and headlines she seems to make week after week wherever she goes. Thank You! We chat Lisa LVP Vanderpump, Kim Richards and Taylor Armstrong. We chat Dorinda Medley, Phaedra Parks and Vicki Gunvalson. We chat sex, alcohol and being completely unfiltered. Of course, we discuss one Denise F*cking Richards. Finally, Brandi weighs in on the current state of RHOBH, Lisa Rinna, who from the past, including herself, she thinks will return and what the future of this top rated franchise looks like moving forward.

MARY AMONS (on RHODC, Salahi White House Crash & Early Days of Bravo) Mar 26, 2023

Show notes

With all this Scandoval talk, we cannot help but reminisce about the early days of Vanderpump Rules. Reminiscing about the early days of VPR makes us reminisce about the early days of Bravo which makes us reminisce about many of the early gone, but not forgotten, Bravo shows. One of those shows is Real Housewives of DC. Today we share this gem from our back catalogue with one of the five RHODC cast members, Mary Amons. Mary chats about her time on the show, cast mates and the difficulties of casting a show with wives in the political sector. Of course, the conversation turns to the infamous Salahi White House crash and the implications, not only for them, but the entire Real Housewives of DC cast, franchise and Bravo as a network from this one event. Did you know RHODC production was shut down for several weeks while Congress and The White House launched a thorough investigation into this breach of US security. Luckily the show went on, bringing us 5 amazing women who have earned their place in Housewives history as one of the only Bravo shows ever involved in a nationwide political scandal. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!!

The Scandoval- Why It Is Great For All Parties Involved Including Ariana Madix Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

As emotions continue to run high amidst the Scandoval, we share new updates involving all cast members, how filming is progressing now that cameras have been picked back up for several weeks, what we can expect as we head into the reunion, will we actually get the answers we need considering restraining orders are involved and will security really be there as Scheana has suggested. After Schwartz’ airport TMZ run in, we analyze his recent conflicting statements on the matter, the position he is in being a lone Sandy supporter and why he still refuses to answer the question of whether he knew. Read between the lines. Next we break down why the Scandoval is great for all parties involved, including Ariana, and where this divided cast goes next. Finally, we reveal a major housewife has blocked us this week. As they say, welcome to the club. To find out who, press play.

Show notes

As The Scandoval continues to send shockwaves throughout the BravoVerse, we take a moment out to chat about the latest updates on Tom, Ariana, Raquel and how all of our fav ex Sur employees are handling the drama. We share our hot takes as to how and why this unlikely pair found their way to each other, is it love, the deeper probable reasons as to why Sandoval blew up his life, Raquel’s future on Vanderpump Rules and oh so much more.

Attorney EMILY D. BAKER (Recaps and Chats The Long Legal Road to Prison For Jen Shah) Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

Jen Shah is serving 6.5 years in Federal Prison. She recently claimed that she still does not think she belongs in prison despite her guilty plea. Now that RHOSLC is filing its new season with Mary Cosby in tow, we are sure Jen must miss her fake lavish life on the outside. We share a chat today that we had with famed attorney Emily D. Baker right after Jen’s guilty plea late last year and right before her sentencing earlier this year. As two attorneys, one experienced in these matters and one not so much, did we get it right and how is Jen really doing now in jail? Let’s take a listen.

Melissa Gorga's Rumored Last Season, Real Life Run ins w/ the RHOP, Our Drama w/ Tamra Judge & Advice For Kyle, Crystal & Dorit Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

So much going on in the BravoVerse, so little time to make sense of it all. Luckily we are joined back by the one and only Kempire to help chip away on all that has been keeping us up at night. After contemplating which Real Housewives Franchises are past their prime and should be put out to pasture alongside Dallas, we share our hot takes on the just finished season of RHOP, the current season of RHONJ and what we can expect when RHOA returns to our screens in the next month or so. Yes Bravo, we are waiting for the RHOA and RHOC trailers to drop! We chat real life run ins with The Grand Dame and Gizelle Bryant, our past drama with Tamra Judge and why some people still have sympathy for Jen Shah, recent prison statements and all. Finally, we discuss Andy’s most protected Housewives, rumors from RHOBH filming, the absence of Kathy Hilton and what we can expect from our fav Diamond Holders as this season’s filming chugs along.

GUERDY ABRAIRA (on RHOM Season Drama, Cast Mates, The Reunion & What Next) Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Guerdy Abraira steps Behind The Rope. Now that we are in the thick of the RHOM reunion, we figured it time to reflect upon this stellar season breaking down all the season drama, break ups, make ups, more break ups and how we move forward with a cast divided as the reunion moves on and we prepare to head into Season Six. Guerdy talks about the highs and lows of her season, the most shocking events of the season and why she thinks Miami is holding strong as a fan fav after this stellar Season Five. Guerdy breaks down reunion drama, chats BravoCon run ins with other Housewives and what is next for this Miami power house party planner who does not seem to be slowing down any time soon.

JEREMY MADIX (on Sister Ariana, Tom Sandoval, Vanderpump Rules, LVP & More!) Mar 19, 2023

Show notes

Tom and Ariana broke up. The BravoVerse, mainstream media and world seem to want to talk about nothing else but this breakup twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. When we had Jeremy Madix on the show, we talked sister Ariana, Tom, and constant bed hopping of all of our fav then Sur employees. What did Jeremy think of Tom way back when? Were there signs of a doomed relationship between sister Ariana and Tom? Was is clear back then to Jeremy this would not last? Did this age well from our original chat (July 10, 2020) or is this chat so cringe to listen to today knowing the outcome of this, at that time, so in love couple whose biggest concern was their Fancy AF cocktail book. Only one way to find out. Press Play.
