Show notes

Family Karma’s Vishal Parvani and Richa Sadana step Behind The Rope. Vishal and Richa are here to mention it all. The newlyweds spill the chai tea on Family Karma Season Three breaking down all the drama we have seen thus far and teasing spoilers of what is to come the rest of this epic season. They talk cast mates, high and lows and what the experience has been like over the past three years for themselves and their families. Being newlyweds, they talk marriage, what we didn’t see of their epic several day wedding, Amrit & Nicholas’ wedding, who in the group will be next to tie the knot and how life has changed now that they have said, “I Do”. Finally, they both deep dive their BravoCon experience, fan girl Bravo moments, The Real Housewives’ DMs who Brian Benni has slipped into - say what?, who was nice and not so nice and what is next for Family Karma, its cast mates and much more as this stellar Season Three continues.

JESSICA CLARK (on First Ever Queer Female Dating Competition Show, True Blood, Rob Lowe & Viola Davis) Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

Jessica Clark steps Behind The Rope. Jessica is here to chat about her new gig as host of “Coming Out For Love”, the first ever, all inclusive Queer Women Dating Competition Show which follows influencer and activist Amber Whittington as she searches for love among a diverse group of women all picked to live together under one roof. Jessica talks about her hosting duties, the recent comparisons to both Padma Lakshmi and Cat Deeley, and many sensitive racial conversations, volatile scenes, racy sexual encounters and not so “PC” moments producers decided to keep in this epic Freshman Season of Coming Out. On a larger note, Jessica talks queer representation in the media today, where she thinks the world is and what we can still do better. Finally, as an actress by trade, Jessica breaks down her many past roles and co-stars - Morgan Fairchild, True Blood and Rob Lowe to name a few.

TODD & JULIE CHRISLEY - An Interview (Were There Signs??) Feb 04, 2023

Show notes

Today we share this chat with Julie and Todd Chrisley recorded just a few short months before their sentencing. It is shocking to now listen to this - Todd explaining that he can only survive in a five star setting, Todd claiming that when he passes his children will say there lies a good man and Julie and Todd talking about what good kind Christians they are. This does not hold up well in such a shocking way. Were there signs? Should we have known? As they say, hindsight is 2020. Take a listen and let us know what you think.

Todd and Julie Chrisley step Behind The Rope. Todd and Julie reminisce about the epic journey over the past eight years from day one to present that we have all watched play out week after week on Chrisley Knows Best. We chat highs & lows both on and off camera, Chase, Savannah, Grayson, Chloe, Nanny Faye, just who wears the pants in this family, that “other” reality TV fam known as The Kardashians, whether Todd is really as “particular” in real life about everything as he seems on the small screen, and which Real Housewives would Julie and Todd like to join. We discuss all the spin offs - According To Chrisley, Growing Up Chrisley, What’s Cooking with Julie, biggest misconceptions, and just what is next for this family that refuses to slow down any time soon. Ok now that we have come to the end, we want to know if you saw the signs!

Teresa's Non Existent LA Move, Celeb/Actress RHOSLC Season 4 Casting & Demystifying Kathryn Dennis' SC Departure Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

With the rumors of RHOSLC going on pause growing even stronger, we break down THE perfect celebrity who happens to be a Utah resident to join the cast. No really, it is the perfect celeb to cast to fix an otherwise off RHOSLC season. In other news, we address the absurdity of Teresa saying she is moving to LA in four years, the real reasons behind Kathryn Dennis’ sudden Southern Charm departure and the facts and motivations behind Jen Shah’s decision to not sit down with Andy Cohen or Bravo to tell her story despite her media canned “statement” that is circulating the web. Finally on a lighter note, as Tori Spelling deep dives Denise Richards’ Only Fans, we decide to do the same as well as the Only Fans of Danielle Staub and Kathryn Dennis.

JEN SHAH's VICTIM PENNY PUCKET - In HER Words!! Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

So much has been written about, discussed in relation to and analyzed regarding Jen Shah. Jen’s story was even part of a national sensationalized ABC Special entitled, “The Housewife and The Shah Shocker”. Jen Shah herself has spoken to various news outlets and shared her story at various reunions over the three years that she was a cast member on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Now Jen plans to tell her "truth", for much lack of a better word, on her own website if you subscribe and pay a fee. What you may not know is that the actual amount of time spent speaking to Jen’s victims who were defrauded of multi millions of dollars amounts to less than two percent of all the “news” out there surrounding the Federal case against Jen. Today, we hope to change that. Penny Pucket, one of Jen Shah’s victims, is here to chat about HER story - how she was first contacted, the inner workings of Jen’s scam, the moment she realized all was not as it seemed, being contacted by ABC to participate in the "Shah Shocker”, her thoughts on Jen’s plea and the 6.5 year sentence, the aftermath, life now and finally what she hopes Jen learns in jail and what she would like to say to Jen today. Listen closely. This is Penny’s story. Penny Pucket. In Her Words.
