Show notes

Barry Williams, Christopher Knight and Mike Lookinland step Behind The Rope. The Brady Boys are in the house people! Three of the most Iconic names in TV history are here to chat about what it is like to grow up Brady. The boys reminisce about their time on the show, co-stars, the Brady Girls Maureen, Eve & Susan, life after, the multitude of specials, spin offs and Brady movies and how, in addition to all that they have done since in their careers, to many of us they will always be known as Greg, Peter and Bobby. Fresh off their Masked Singer elimination, the boys chat about that experience, the Mummies’ costume, the judges and what being part of one of Fox’s top rated shows was like. Finally, we chat reboots - yes we want a Brady Bunch reboot, the sale of the iconic Brady Bunch house, current pop culture guilty pleasures and of course, last but not least, Reality TV!!

Show notes

Pol’ Atteu and Patrik Simpson step Behind The Rope. The boys are back!! First off, the boys chat about their BFF Jeff Lewis, the extended Jeff “family/ex family” - Megan Weaver, Jenni Pulos, Gage Edward, Chaz Dean, many of whom have been guests here Behind The Rope, and Jeff’s dating life, type and up and down dating history with Chef Stuart O’Keeffe. Next we cover Scheana’s gorgeous wedding dress which the boys designed and wedding which the boys attended. We break down what working with Scheana on the dress was like plus address all of the rumors that have surfaced clarifying what is true and what is fiction - Raquel and Tom Schwartz hook up, Katie Maloney blaming Scheana, Katie being disinvited, Jax, Brittany and Kristen Doute attending but not filming for the new season of Vanderpump Rules and oh, so much more. Speaking of gowns, the boys also designed the reunion looks for two of The Real Housewives of Dubai - Nina Ali and Sara Al Madani - which we discuss as well as the just past Dubai season and reunion. Being Bev Hills locals, Season Three of their fabulous Gown and Out in Beverly Hills is out now, we share hot takes on the current RHOBH season both on and off air - Bots, lawsuits, victims, donations, cover ups, casting rumors, social media drama, one F of a reunion thus far and just who we can expect to see back next season out of Kyle, Rinna, Kathy, Garcelle, Sutton, Diana, Crystal, Dorit, Sheree and last, but certainly not least, Erika Jayne. Finally, they share news on their Anna Nicole Biopic, casting choices you wont believe and why they are still estranged from Larry Birkhead and Dannielynn.

KIM D. (on RHOBH Explosive Finale, Separate BravoCon Panels for Tre/Mel, Her Message to The Gorgas & Watching RHOSLC Knowing Jen Shah's Fate!) Oct 08, 2022

Show notes

The RHOBH Season has finally come to a close. As we prepare for reunion, Kim D. stops by to chat the RHOBH finale, the absence of Kathy Hilton, the refusal of Rinna to let it go, the involvement of EJ, Garcelle trying to make sense of it all, Birkins, Bubbles, a deer in headlights Kyle and everything and anything in between. On RHOSLC, Kim talks about how “interesting”, we can think of a few other words, it is to watch this season knowing that Jen Shah has pled guilty and will be sentenced later this year, the not ending anytime soon feud between Meredith and Lisa and could Whitney and Heather be the next in a long line of Bravo families to go to the point of no recovery. Be careful ladies. Finally, Kim weighs in on Teresa’s claims that we will see the “evil” - her words not ours - of Joe and Melissa by RHONJ season’s end, the fact that Mel and Tre cannot even come together for a BravoCon panel and finally, last but not least, that Teresa and Melissa will be taking separate cast photos for the RHONJ opening credits when the show returns early 2023. All this and the fact that Kim plans to now reach out to Melissa and Joe! Say what? Happy Saturday

RHONY Reboot & Legacy Update & Casting, Bethenny's Recent IG Rants, RHOSLC Returns, RHOP Drama & Kathryn Dennis' Black Eyes Oct 07, 2022

Show notes

Headlines and Rumors have begun to resurface about the Tale of Two RHONYs which have included everything from the Reboot being in a total state of chaos due to lack of chemistry from the chosen cast to the Reboot is going great and the cast will be unveiled in two weeks at BravoCon. Lizzy Savetsky is the one constant in all those rumors. We break down what we know about her, how true or false any or all of the rumors are and what the fate of the Reboot means for the RHONY Legacy show, including whether Ramona Singer will, in fact, be absent from that installment. Speaking of RHONY, we address many of Bethenny Frankel’s recent Instagram and Podcast rants, what she is really trying to say and if she secretly really does want to return to RHONY, or at least our TV screens, much sooner than later. Salt Lake is back so we break down this current season, the Jen Shah of it all, newbies and what Season Four will look like Shahless. Finally, we address Kathryn Dennis’ recent black eyes, her unwillingness to talk about it, her absence from much of Southern Charm this season and if those two things have anything to do with each other.

RHOBH Kathy vs. Kyle, Rinna vs. Kathy, Erika & Diana vs. The World - Where Do We Go From Here? Oct 06, 2022

Show notes

RHOBH. Does anyone wanna talk about anything else in the BravoVerse these days? It does not seem like it. The Rinna vs. Kathy Hilton feud which started a few weeks back seems to have more twists and turns than we could have ever predicted. Was there a coverup? If so, of what? Did Rinna embellish the facts? Did Erika Jayne add fuel to the fire in an effort to take all the heat off herself?Has Kyle finally abandoned the sisterhood for good? Will this cost any of them their highly coveted positions in the franchise next season and, if so, was it all worth it? The more questions we answer, the more we think of to ask. Tune in now as we help make sense of it all!

CHRIS KIRKPATRICK (on NSYNC, Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Britney Spears, Celebrity Big Brother & The Masked Singer!) Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

Chris Kirkpatrick steps Behind The Rope. NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick that is. Having just been eliminated from The Masked Singer, Chris is here to chat about what it was like to don The Hummingbird costume and perform in front of millions on the hit Fox show. Of course, the convo quickly turns to all things NSYNC and all things Justin, Lance, Joey and JC. Chris chats about which of his fellow NSYNCers knew it was him as The Hummingbird, who he thinks could get the farthest in the competition and what advice he would give to his bandmates who wanted to participate. We also chat about whether we will ever see an NSYNC reunion with all five members - yes Justin Timberlake included and when and what that would look like. In the absence of JT, we chat who, if anyone, would be a great fifth member for this still Iconic band. Chris opens up about performing at The Super Bowl with Britney, what he thinks about Britney’s recent statements that she will never perform again and deep dives her most recent foray into music with Sir Elton John. In other Reality TV news, Chris chats about his stint as a houseguest on Celebrity Big Brother and whether perhaps we will see him and Joey Fatone one day on The Amazing Race. As we often like to do, we mention it all!

** Following this chat, we share a chat with Nick Lachey and 98 Degrees!

Finally, Tichina talks the current state of Hollywood for Black Actresses thanks to trailblazers like Shonda Rhimes, guilty pleasures, reality tv, reboots - did someone say Martin / Everybody Hates Chris and current day Chris Rock.

BRIELLE BIERMANN (On RHOA, Don't Be Tardy, Mom Kim Zolciak, Her Love Life & What's Next!) - I Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

Brielle Biermann steps Behind The Rope. In true Brielle form, nothing is off limits or held back! Brielle starts at the beginning discussing what it was like to grow up on Bravo having first appeared on The Real Housewives of Atlanta at age ten. Brielle reminisces about her time on RHOA - best/worst/viral moments, and all that drama that she witnessed between all our fav peach holders, including Mom Kim Zolciak-Biermann. Brielle discusses her much talked about relationship with Mom Kim Zolciak-Biermann - the public’s obsession with it, judgment of it, and truth behind what having a Mom like Kim is really like. Of course, we learned more about that relationship during the first ever RHOA spinoff “Don’t Be Tardy”. Brielle chats about that eight year journey working with her whole fam including “Dad” NFL Superstar Kroy Biermann. Brielle explains how she handles her online “trolls” who judge her every move and chats about the constant scrutiny she receives regarding what plastic surgery she has and has not had, a topic which recently came up during her WWHL “Bravo Kids” appearance. Brielle breaks down which Bravo children she is friends with, what Bravolebs have slid into her DM’s throughout the years (the answer has left our mouths agape!), and who she would still love to meet in the BravoVerse. Brielle opens up about her love life, type, and current status. We chat the end of Don’t Be Tardy, whether Kim should or would return to RHOA, and what is next for her.

KIM D. (on Kathy/Kyle/Rinna, EJ's Therapy, The Return of RHOSLC & Teresa's DWTS Exit!) Oct 01, 2022

Show notes

The RHOBH episode we have waited for all season has finally arrived. Kyle and Kathy face off and then, oh yea, there is Rinna. Kim D. is here to break it all down - sisters gone awry, the involvement of Rinna, rumored deleted scenes, Erika Jayne in therapy and bonding with Sutton, Garcelle MIA busy at work and Crystal explaining the “shame”, according to her, behind MJ’s “Billie Jean”. Kim is also here to chat about the return of RHOSLC - a clueless Jen Shah, the breakup of Meredith and Lisa, the alliance of Whitney and Lisa and ever present comedic timing of one Miss Heather Gay. Finally, as Kim has predicted, she chats about the early exit of Tre from DWTS - her dancing, Aydin and Cabral and of course, the comment that Len Goodman just does not like our New Jersey Housewife. All this and more!
