Jen Shah's Sentence, Kelly Dodd vs. Tamra Judge & Future of RHOSLC Jan 13, 2023

Show notes

The more things change, the more the stay the same. One thing that will never change is a basic life principle we choose to live by here Behind The Rope. Do Not Mess With Kelly Dodd. Several months after Tamra dissed Kelly Dodd at BravoCon, Kelly and Rick come out swinging with accusations about The Judge’s CBD “Business”, receipts and all. Let us not forget that Rick was an investigative reporter for much of his career and we are down a rabbit whole with all the Dodd-Leventhal’s have laid out for us to dissect. As Jen Shah’s sentence has now been handed down, we cannot help but wonder once again, what did Coach Shah know and do Jen’s recently surfaced texts to her co-conspirator Stuart prove Sharif had knowledge of his wife’s crimes? Speaking of RHOSLC, we provide solutions with how to fix RHOSLC after an “off” season and break down whether Mary Cosby’s return would help and just how likely is that to really ever happen. Finally, we provide all our hot takes of this epic season of RHOM - the feuds, make ups, rumors, drama and, of course, one divorce in the form of Lisa and Lenny Hochstein which is unfolding week after week before our very eyes.

Juicy Joe & Teresa's Jail Advice, Erika Jayne vs. Ronald Richards' Wife & Jennifer Aydin as the New Ramona Singer! Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

After purchasing Erika Jayne’s famed earnings, we have to wonder, is Ronald Richards’ wife angling for a bigger diamond, perhaps one of the new cast members when the RHOBH pause ends and the new Bev Hills women are announced? Let’s discuss. In other strange Housewives’ thoughts, we break down why Jennifer Aydin is the new Ramona Singer - except she still has a job employed by Bravo, analyze her clap backs over the years, reveal the advice Denise Richards could have taken from her and chat the new upcoming season of RHONJ. Speaking of RHONJ, we discuss the recent advice both Juicy Joe Giudice and ex-wife Tre have given to several Reality TV stars headed to the big house, check in with Joe down in the Bahamas and offer career advice to this forever Bravoleb who is just trying to rebuild his life. Go Juicy. All this and more!

OLIVIA, AURORA & SOPHIA CULPO (on The Culpo Sisters, Famous Exes, Kathy/Kyle & The Kardashians) Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

The Culpo Sisters step Behind The Rope. Olivia, Aurora, and Sophia that is. The sisters are here to chat about their TLC Reality Show, The Culpo Sisters, which chronicles the ups and downs in their ever changing lives. We talk about putting it all out there for the world to see and judge and how they never expected so much change and drama in their personal lives when they signed up for this freshman season. The dissolution of Aurora’s marriage, the “hall pass”, Sophia’s recent move to NYC to be with her NFL man and Olivia’s very public past relationships with various athletes and, of course, Nick Jonas. We cannot help but make the comparison to that “other” Reality TV fam who have changed the game, The Kardashians, what the sisters think of the Ks, the comparison, Real Housewives and oh, so much more as we break down misperceptions, how life has changed since the show’s premiere and what is next for these three who do not seem to be slowing down any time soon.

Show notes

Alexia & Todd Nepola step Behind The Rope. With the new Season of The Real Housewives of Miami well underway, Alexia and Todd stop by, on location in sunny Miami, to mention it all. Alexia breaks down how we got here from RHOM Season One more than a decade ago to everyone’s fav franchise here in Season Five. We chat cast mates Larsa, Marysol, Adriana, Guerdy, Kiki, Julia, Nicole and last, but certainly not least, Lisa. Speaking of Lisa, Alexia and Todd open up about Lisa’s much publicized divorce, the last time they ran into Lenny and where they all stand today.

Wow. For all things RHOM, tune in now!
