Harry Dubin, The Regency & Run Ins w/ Our Fav Vintage RHONY Housewives Feb 26, 2023

Show notes

With all the talk about RHONY Legacy not happening, we figured y’all were feeling as nostalgic as us for the days of yesteryear of classic RHONY. As a result, we share this hidden gem of our epic friendship with Harry Dubin, run in with Bethenny, Sonja, Ramona and the gang throughout the years and many martini filled nights at The Regency. Yes, it is also about Tom because he was a permanent fixture during our days as a regular there and in typical BTVR fashion, we mention it all. As the Countess says, Chic C’est La Vie.

Show notes

With RHONJ back on our screens, the drama is heating up both on and off air. We break down and share our hot takes on all that has been happening - an epic Tre / Jacqueline lunch, Tre’s rumored RHONJ spinoff, rumors of affairs, social media espionage and shutdowns, newbies and the claims that Teresa will never film with Melissa again and deep dive what happens next. In other news, while the ever changing saga of Kim Zolciak’s mansion lingers on as foreclosure day nears, we break down how this could have happened, why and which Housewives live above their means and where do Kim and Kroy go next. Finally, with the current season of Summer House in full effect, Kyle and Lindsey now in a social media feud which started with one WWHL appearance by Amanda and Carl’s recent resignation from Loverboy, we beak down how the once non touchable Bromance of Carl and Kyle seems to be in a state of non repair!

Brandi Glanville Update, Lala Kent As The Next RHOSLC, Lisa Rinna's New Gig & Caroline Manzo Potential Lawsuit Feb 23, 2023

Show notes

When all is said and done and the dust has settled, while we wait for the edited version of RHUGT 4 to premiere and/or for Bravo/NBC Universal Legal to make an official statement - which may never happen, we break down what we really believe happened between Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville in Morocco earlier this month which set the BravoVerse into a tailspin. Next, we put our legal hats on and break down Caroline Manzo’s potential legal claims, likelihood she will actually sue, and likelihood if she does plan to sue anyone will ever hear about it before money is secretly and quietly exchanged behind the scenes. We also discuss the larger ramifications this alleged interaction between Manzo and Glanville will have on the rest of Bravo programming, Bravolebrities and the industry of Reality TV as a whole. On a lighter note, we deep dive the one Reality TV star we think could save RHOSLC from itself, chit chat whether Lisa Rinna is trying too hard to after her RHOBH exit and share our hot takes on whether Bravo ever planned to really give us a RHONY Legacy show. Ok, maybe we used the word lightly too soon.

Brandi Glanville steps 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.

SUMMER HOUSE'S STEPHEN MCGEE (on Fallout with Carl Radke, Vintage Summer House & Drama w/ Cast) Feb 19, 2023

Show notes

Today we share our first ever Summer House interview. Stephen McGree, back when Summer House was the little Bravo show that could. We talk all about those early seasons and how we never could have predicted the mega hit that it has become. Of course, this is BTVR so we all bring the drama. Duh, we would not have it any other way.

David sits down with Stephen McGee from Bravo’s Summer House. Stephen explains what filming Summer House was like, answering questions such as what is real versus not real and how “involved" the producers are in the editing of the show. Stephen doesn’t hold back in discussing which of his cast mates had legitimate drama during filming and who he considers to have created fake storylines. Stephen is brutally honest when telling us who he thinks made the show interesting and who he considers boring AF. We discuss his tumultuous relationship with Carl Radke, their fall out and his claims of Carl’s “sexual activity” with members of the same sex. You mean the real drama was off camera? How shocking said in a sarcastic voice. Finally, Stephen chats about his friendship with fellow Bravolebrities Kristen Doute, LeeAnne Locken, Jill Zarin, Vicki Gunvalson, Juliet Angus, Stassi no last name needed, Lauren Wirkus, and last, but certainly not least, Jax & Brittany.
