KATHRYN EDWARDS (on RHOBH Hilton/Richards Sisters Divided, What Really Happened & Whether It Even Matters) Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

You asked for it, you got it. Yes, we are referring to the number one most requested return guest in the history of BTVR, Kathryn Edwards. Kathryn is back to close out the RHOBH reunion and talk about the ever lasting effects this season of Bev Hills has, had and may continue to have on a sister relationship and family dynamic that has been off and on for decades. Kathryn breaks down the likelihood that Kathy Hilton said any of the things she has been accused to have said by Lisa Rinna and Erika Jayne, why Rinna and / or Erika would make up this story and / or embellish the facts, the truth behind it all, the cast’s reaction, the public’s reaction, Andy Cohen’s reaction and just who has come out looking better and worse - Kathy, Kyle, Erika, Rinna - after an epic conclusion to the most toxic, for lack of a better word, season of RHOBH in Real Housewives’ history.

KATHRYN EDWARDS (on The Effects of Going Against Kathy Hilton in Hollywood, RHOBH Reunion, & Rinna's Future) Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

We conclude our deep dive into the RHOBH Reunion with the one and only Kathryn Edwards. Who better than to help us make sense of it all than someone who was actually a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills. Kathryn is also the most requested return guest in the history of the BTVR. From Rinna asking to be put on pause, to Garcelle feeling disrespected, to the Hilton-Richards sisterly drama to a BravoVerse in which we now live where Rinna seems to be more disliked than current, past, or future Erika Jayne, we mention it all. Of course, having been on RHOBH Season Six with all of the aforementioned - Season Six being the first for Rinna and EJ also - Kathryn chats working with each, discusses how much Rinna has changed, offers sage advice to future Rinna and breaks down just who is likely to hold a diamond when the new cast of RHOBH is announced for Season Thirteen in what is expected to be the very near future!

KIM D. (on RHOBH Reunion Finale, Gorga/Aydin/Giudice Update & The Innocence of Coach Shah!) Oct 29, 2022

Show notes

The RHOBH Reunion and Record Breaking Season has finally come to an end and Kim D. is here to close it down the same way she started it, by holding nothing back. Kim deep dives the reunion, the season and how to move forward with a cast divided. Kim discusses all the names that have been kicked around to make a possible return - Brandi Glanville, Camille Grammer and last but certainly not least, Kim Richards - and the likelihood that each would actually happen. In RHONJ land, Kim has been bombarded with DMs, texts, emails and phone calls about The Gorgas with the public seemingly ready to turn on this power couple thanks, in part, to one little PR boy and Miss Jennifer Aydin. Kim shares her hot takes on what is true, untrue and everything in between. Kim discusses The Gorga’s future on RHONJ, their apology tour and which past RHONJ she can foresee being involved. Finally, Kim weighs in on this weeks RHOSLC, our three newbie “friends of” and one Coach Shah who seems to have been completely in the dark a mere few months before Jen’s guilty plea. Oh the tangled webs we weave.

Jennifer Aydin vs. The Gorgas - BravoCon Effects & Upcoming RHONJ Season, RHONY Reboot & Jen Shah Crashes BravoCon/Uncertain Reunion Future Oct 28, 2022

Show notes

Almost as shocking as the day we found out about Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi’s divorce, Monique and Chris Samuels seem to be headed there with rumors of separate current living arrangements, magazine reports and one Miss Ashley Darby throwing in her two cents. Teresa and Melissa and Joe are at it again and BravoCon certainly did not help. Neither did Jennifer Aydin as we break down Jennifer and Joe’s literal BravoCon brawl. Speaking of BravoCon, we break down Andy’s recent comments that Jen Shah was not in attendance because her situation had expired and chat about what was really meant behind that comment. Finally, we discuss the RHONY reboot, who we personally know on the new cast, the public’s reactions, Jenna Lyons’ involvement, the OGs’ reaction and whether y’all intend to watch.

Kathy Hilton & Lisa Rinna's RHOBH Future Together (?), New RHONY Cast & The RHONJ Lingering Effects of BravoCon! Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

The RHOBH Reunion and BravoCon have both come and gone which has left some, many, most of our loyal listeners, that means you, asking, “what next?”. Well, in typical BTVR fashion we are here to wrap it all up with a neat bow and help y’all answer that question. Garcelle and Diana are not speaking and will probably, it is safe to assume, never speak again. Andy Cohen fumbles though an answer of why we did not have a RHONY Season Thirteen Reunion even though we know and break down the real reason. Lisa Rinna got booed, ended the season on an unknown note and still does not care, middle finger and all. Kathy Hilton dominated BravoCon, came out swinging at the RHOBH reunion and doubles down on the fact that she will not return if the cast is the same - are those fighting words or a whole bunch of nothing considering at least one current Diamond Holder is definitely not returning. She does mention EJ and Rinna by name, after all. All this and more as we help answer some of life’s still unanswered most important questions.

MARIO CANTONE (on Sex And The City, And Just Like That, The View, Kim Cattrall, Andy Cohen, & The Masked Singer!) Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

Mario Cantone steps Behind The Rope. Mario wastes no time in deep diving the role he is beloved to many for in both Sex And The City and And Just Like That. Mario chats on screen and off screen friendships with Sarah Jessica Parker (SJP), Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon. Mario talks how the show, and cast, has changed since the beginning, the public’s reaction to And Just Like That, the controversy of Sara Ramirez’ “Che”, the original plans for Stanford & Anthony’s storyline, who his character should now date newly single and the huge mega influence this juggernaut of a show has had on fashion, NYC and women worldwide. Focusing on what everyone wants to talk about, Mario shares hot takes on the upcoming And Just Like That Season Two, addresses filming rumors and clarifies when we can really realistically expect to see the Sophomore season aired. Moving on, Mario talks about Andy Cohen’s desire for him to do a Kathy Griffin “Life on the D List” show, the fact that he could have been “Jack” in Will & Grace and whether we can ever expect to see Kim Cattrall back on screen in the Sex universe. Finally, hot off his elimination on The Masked Singer, Mario shares what that experience was like, who from SATC / AJLT he thinks would go farthest, advice he has for his celeb friends who wanna participate, the Maize and much, much more! Thank you Mr. Cantone!

GLORIA GAYNOR (on "I Will Survive", Disco, Kylie Minogue, Demi Lovato & The Masked Singer) Oct 25, 2022

Show notes

Gloria Gaynor steps Behind The Rope. The Godmother of Disco is here to chat about how she is still surviving, no pun intended, almost five decades, two Grammys and many many accolades later in a business that is not for the faint of heart. Gloria chats how a little song originally slated as a B side, “I Will Survive”, became THE go anthem of empowerment for men and women worldwide, an anthem that is still one of the most sung, downloaded and beloved songs of all times. Gloria chats about the highs and lows of the music business, working with Kylie Minogue last year on her album “Disco” and who of the current day reigning Divas she thinks is most well equipped to keep the legend of Disco going. Did someone say Beyonce, Rihanna and Gaga? Finally, fresh off her Masked Singer elimination, Gloria discusses what the experience was like to don the Mermaid costume each week on Fox’s top rated guilty pleasure.

Show notes

Kathryn Edwards is back! The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Kathryn Edwards, that is. The most requested return guest in the history of the BTVR Podcast is back to break down the RHOBH Reunion thus far, our beloved Diamond Holders’ behavior at BravoCon and everything and anything Bev Hills in-between.

KIM D. (on The Gorgas' BravoCon Behavior, Jen Aydin's Drink, Queen Kathy Hilton, Rinna Booed & RHOBH Reunion Recap) Oct 22, 2022

Show notes

BravoCon has come and gone and the RHONJ, RHOBH and RHOSLC have certainly kept us on our toes with a lot to break down. Kim D. is here to finally break her silence on The Gorga’s BravoCon behavior, who is really behind a divided RHONJ panel and, of course, the Jennifer Aydin / Melissa Gorga / Joe Gorga “loser” drink throwing incident which involved assistants, public relation kids and one very pissed off security guard. Kathy Hilton was treated like the Queen of BravoCon - we are still hearing “Kathy Kathy” in our sleep, Rinna was booed, Erika revealed shocking info about PK and Dorit, Garcelle refused to acknowledge anything regarding Diana and, oh, so much more. The RHOSLC cast mistook the event for their end of season reunion while Jen Shah crashed chanting “Free Jen Shah”. No really, we could not make this stuff up if we tried. Finally, we deep dive RHOBH reunion Part Two and break down next weeks’ finale as Miss Hilton finally takes the stage.
