Bethenny Frankel Sues TikTok, Inside Ashley & Michael Darby's Divorce & How Different Watching RHOSLC Would Be If Jen Shah Didn't Plead Guilty Oct 21, 2022

Show notes

Bethenny Frankel has sued TikTok. We break down the lawsuit, the claims, her disdain for The Kardashians, Meghan Markle, her 1 million followers and whether she really misses her time on television more than she lets on. With RHOP back in our lives, we break down whether Ashley and Michael Darby should be and are really headed for divorce or, as they make plans to purchase a house, are really BFFs destined to be together forever, Gizelle’s reaction to Wendy this season and whether Chris Bassett is this seasons’ scapegoat. Welcome to Bravo. Finally, we analyze what a different season of RHOSLC this would be if Jen Shah stood trial and we did not already know of her guilty plea! So much to discuss, so little time.

RHOBH Reunion Broken Down - A Family Divided, A Cast Divided, Rinna, & Where Do We Go From Here? Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

As the RHOBH reunion continues on, we break down many of this season’s still unanswered questions such who really leaked Kathy’s alleged “meltdown” to the press, is Lisa Rinna the smartest housewife to ever play the game, slowly losing her mind or just plain grieving, will Rinna return, will alliances shift next season with Kyle’s recent statement that she left the reunion feeling closer to Garcelle and Sutton and last, but certainly not least, can yet another divided family recover and find peace as this reality juggernaut continues. Finally, we address the public’s disdain for Lisa Rinna, what exactly is causing that dislike, will the show be boring if she does not return and will they really really not watch next season if Miss Melrose Place returns.

COLTON HAYNES (on American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy, Coming Out, Misperceptions, Teen Wolf & Lifetime Movies!) Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

Colton Haynes steps Behind The Rope. Colton is here to mention it all. Colton takes us on his journey from his early days in a small Kansas town to modeling at just sixteen for Abercrombie and Fitch to starring roles on two “teen dream” projects, Teen Wolf and Arrow, all while hiding his secret from the world that he was gay. Colton opens up about the industry’s involvement in keeping him closeted, coming out, and all the anxiety, depression, addiction, self doubt, insecurity and family loss that went along, in his case, with that. Colton chats about coming out the other side, the effect that had on his career and where he stands with it all today. Colton also chats about his stellar recent project in Swinder Seduction, in which he plays crooked twin brothers who are romantic cons living off the women they fool and steal from. Dirty John and The Tinder Swindler ain’t got nothing on Swindler Seduction. Finally, Colton chats about working with Ryan Murphy in AHS: Cult, the current state of being gay and out in Hollywood and his brilliant courageous memoir which captures this all, Miss Memory Lane.

JERRY O'CONNELL (on BravoCon, Current RHOBH Season - EJ/Rinna/Hilton, Rebecca Romijn, Andy Cohen, & The Real Love Boat!!) Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

Jerry O’Connell steps Behind The Rope. Royalty is in the house people. One of Bravo’s most famous celeb experts is here to chat about all things current Bravo - this epic season of RHOBH, whether it is truly time for Rinna to be put on pause, the attempted takedown of Kathy Hilton, the public’s current opinion of Erika Jayne, two sisters divided and oh, so much more! Jerry is also here to chat about his new role as co-host, along with wife Rebecca Romijn, of The Real Love Boat, CBS’s latest entry into the reality game in which he and Rebecca help a bunch of singles find love. Jerry chats growing up with the original Love Boat, his epic career which has spanned four decades in theater, film and TV - did someone say Stand By Me, reboots - did someone say Stand By Me again and his day job in which he made history replacing Sharon Osbourne as the first male host of The Talk. All this and of course more Bravo, including the second annual BravoCon as we sit down with living legend Mr. Jerry O’Connell!!

KIM D. (on RHOBH Reunion, Andy's Anger, RHOSLC Girls Gone Wild, ShahSentencing & Giudice vs. Gorga) Oct 15, 2022

Show notes

The RHOBH Reunion has finally arrived. Kim D. is here to help us make sense of it all. Andy and Kyle’s confusion with Crystal’s “story”, Erika Jayne’s acknowledgement that she is okay, the awkwardness that you could cut with a knife when Diana appeared, Garcelle’s son, Bots, and last but certainly not least, the outfits, fashion, and appearance of Khloe Kardashian, oh we mean Lisa Rinna. On RHOSLC, Kim D. breaks down the whirlwind that is Whitney, Meredith, Lisa, Heather and Jen Shah - accusations of infidelity, tears, lingerie, blowies for box seats and denial that there is a sentencing looming. Finally, Kim weighs in on Joe Gorga’s recent interview that he loves his sister, the fact that Tre is coming for the Gorgas, A BravoCon RHONJ Panel divided and much much more!

Erika Jayne / Jen Shah - Different Standards of Accountability(?), Meredith / Lisa BreakUp, Mary Cosby's Absence & Teresa's New Claims Against Gorgas Oct 14, 2022

Show notes

Now that RHOSLC is back in our lives, we thought it time to ponder some of life’s most serious questions such as why does the public, fans, viewers - as in y’all - despise, hate and chastise Erika Jayne and yet seem to be much softer on and, dare we say, like Jen Shah. In other RHOSLC news, we deep dive the break up of Meredith and Lisa, the riff between Whitney and Heather, missing Mary Cosby, the comedic timing of one Miss Heather Gay, and whether Jen Shah understands what “sentencing” really means. Heading east, Teresa Giudice says that it is finally over with Joe and Mel, that she never gave Bravo an ultimatum and how we will all finally see the “evil ways” - her words not ours - of Mel and Joe by watching the new upcoming season of RHONJ. Finally, we deep dive Ashley Darby’s recent comments that maybe she won’t divorce Michael after all, the return of RHOP and just what we can expect the rest of this already brilliant season of Potomac!

RHOBH Reunion Drama, Rinna's "Check Mate", Vicki Gunvalson Films RHOC, Taylor Armstrong Upgraded (?) & Stassi Schroeder Returns Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

It is all these weeks later, the RHOBH reunion has come and has almost gone, and we are still a BravoVerse divided over whether Lisa Rinna is telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth when it comes to Aspen and one Miss Kathy Hilton. We break that down, Rinna’s constant social media posts that she knows EXACTLY what she is doing and whether we are as confident as her that she is the LeBron James of Real Housewives and will definitely be back next season. In other West Coast Housewives news, Vicki was seen filming the other week with the other two Tres Amigas - Shannon and Tamra. Is Vicki’s filming a last ditch effort to hold onto her Housewives’ fame of yesteryear or a brilliant play at getting the franchise and Bravo to realize they need the OG of the OC more than we ever knew. We also break down the rumors that the franchise has got off to a slow start, the rumors that Heather Dubrow has not filmed in weeks and the rumors that Taylor Armstrong has come in hot ready to exchange her once diamond for an orange in an attempt to officially be upgraded to full time status. Finally, Jim Edmonds marries, David Beador plans to divorce, TomKat divorces and Straight Up With Stassi returns! All this and more in another jam packed episode!
