Show notes

Mary Fitzgerald steps Behind The Rope. Selling Sunset Season Five. How did we get here? Mary chats about how Selling Sunset went from the Season One little show that could to the international blockbuster premiering at Number One in almost every country that is Season Five today! Mary chats real estate a la The Oppenheim Group, her new promo to boss of the O Group office and all the Season Five drama. Speaking of Season Five drama, we chat Christine - has she finally gone too far, Chrishell - we still have not accepted her breakup with Jason, Chelsea - newbie alert, Heather - wedding alert, Emma - top producer alert and much much more! Finally, we deep dive into the O Group's first ever Reunion - what needs to be resolved, what will probably remain unresolved, who needs to be let go, and of course, the absence of one Christine Quinn and all the social media controversy surrounding that. Whew, and we are only getting started!

Matt James (on The Bachelor, Kenya Moore, Tyler Cameron /Kristin Cavallari & Rachael Kirkconnell) May 03, 2022

Show notes

Matt James steps Behind The Rope. The bachelor is in the house. Forget all you have read, heard or think you know about Matt James because he is here to set the record straight. On the heels of his new book, “First Impressions”, Matt is here to mention it all. Matt talks about the highs and low of his Bachelor experience, the pressure the world placed on him as “the first Black Bachelor”, and how he dealt with that pressure while staying true to himself, and his heart, in his much publicized journey for love. Of course, we all know how that worked out. Matt chats the full trajectory of his relationship with Rachael, what she thought of him writing this book and where they are today. Of course, we also chat Matt’s BFF, or as we like to call him, his boyfriend, Tyler Cameron, his DWTS appearance which led to a friendship with the one and only Miss Kenya Moore - RHOA Shout Out - and everything in between.

MARGARET JOSEPHS (on epic RHONJ Season, Tomorrow's Reunion & How To Move Forward With a Cast Divided) - I May 02, 2022

Show notes

Margaret Josephs steps back Behind The Rope. What a #RHONJ season! Marge is here to break down all that we have seen over the past epic season - Jackie’s brave struggles with eating, Jennifer’s aftermath of Bill’s affair, throw in some Dolo and Mel and of course, the central falling out between her and Tre regarding one Mr. Luis Ruelas. Of course, on the heels of tomorrow night's premiere of the three part RHONJ reunion, Margaret talks about what we really can expect, Andy Cohen’s frustration, House Husband walk offs, and how all of the cast's relationships will never ever be the same again. Raw and unfiltered, Margaret Josephs like you have never heard her before. Hey, it pays to be a friend of a Housewife and not some blogger looking for clout (thanks for the WWHL shout out Marge!) Finally, looking ahead to next season, we discuss where does this fractured cast, specifically her relationship with Tre, go from here and how can filming begin a “rumored” few weeks from now.

Show notes

What a #RHONJ season! We have a finale people and a reunion trailer like no other. No fear, your new fav Miss Kim D. is here to break it all down. F bombs and all, Kim don’t hold back when it comes to how she really feels about Luis referencing his 50,000 square foot love bubble nest he shares with Tre - it is 17,000 square feet to be exact, his private jet and the fact that Tre can apparently quit the show and never work again. Kim shares her recent texts from Dolo, what we can expect from next week’s reunion with house husband walk outs, b*tch boy references, Bill Aydin’s chance to speak, speak, speak, no love loss between The Marge - thank you for The WWHL Shout Out - and Tre and one seemingly epic breakdown from Daddy Cohen himself. All this and we are only getting started. You know you wanna listen!!

Nene Leakes' Lawsuit, Ashley & Michael Darby's Divorce, Candiace & Gizelle Feud, & More Trouble Casting RHONY 2.0! Apr 29, 2022

Show notes

Another day, another divorce in the BravoSphere. This time, the big D has struck the one and onlys Ashley and Michael Darby. Did we see this coming? Are we shocked? Will this get messy and what will each of their dating lives look like in the near future? These and many other questions answered as we take a deep dive. Fear not, all of it will be covered on the upcoming RHOP season. Speaking of RHOP, seems Gizelle and Candiace unfollowed each other and Chris Bassett is, of course, heavily in the mix on all that. Feel free to check his Twitter account to see what we all mean up in here. Of course, the week could not end without a little chat about NeNe Leakes’ lawsuit against NBCUniversal, Bravo, Andy Cohen and many others, but not Kim Zolciak Biermann, Ramona Singer or Stassi Schroeder who are named in the court documents. Yup, we break it all down and make sense of it all!

Show notes

On the heels of the return of one of the most popular, and highly rated franchises of Housewives, RHOBH, Erika Jayne threw Garcelle Beauvais' book in the garbage. That set off a whole series of events which, as we discuss in full, is gonna make for one non-stop ride of a season for our favorite diamond holders. Speaking of the return of cities, Atlanta is back and one Miss Marlo Hampton finally has her peach and word on the street is, she sure earns it this upcoming RHOA season. In other news, we break down the likelihood that MJ, GG and Reza will get a “Shahs” spin off, share an update on RHONY Season Fourteen casting and chat the future of Vanderpump Rules now that the majority of the core cast is once again single.

SUZANNE SOMERS (on Three's Company, Chrissy Snow, Sex at 74, The Kardashians, RHOBH, Famous Friends & Being an Icon! Apr 26, 2022

Show notes

Suzanne Sommers steps Behind The Rope. No, your eyes are not deceiving you. One of THE MOST LEGENDARY names in TV history, an author of almost thirty books, an entrepreneur in every sense of the word, an Informercial Superstar before we understood the word Informercial, a Gay Icon and so many more monikers, we could go on all day. Suzanne Sommers!!!! Hard to imagine it has been almost forty five years since Suzanne first played Chrissy Snow on Three’s Company, a show which is still as beloved today by the current gen as when it first premiered. A man pretending to be gay to live with two women in order to share the rent, Jack Tripper, Three’s Company was ahead of its time in even mentioning “gay” on a Prime Time ABC show and showing a straight man comfortable enough in his sexuality to show his “nontraditional” sensitive side making “gay” ok. Suzanne, a trailblazer, left her iconic Chrissy Snow role after five seasons demanding the equal pay of her male colleagues, a topic at the forefront of discussion in Hollywood over the past few years. Switching gears, there is no mention of Suzanne Sommers without thinking of the Iconic Thighmaster and vice versa. Back on ABC many years later as part of the Iconic TGIF lineup, Suzanne found herself opposite Dallas’ Patrick Duffy in the brilliant “Step by Step”. We had to pick Suzanne’s brain on her last book, “A New Way to Age” considering she is Seventy Four years young and is aging backward before our very eyes - no really check out our IG for pics. Although she is busy running her lifestyle empire, we had to ask if she would ever act again and who she would love to star alongside. We chat famous friends, Kardashians, RHOBH, DWTS & more. Finally, we discuss her recent statements of her “three times a day” sex life with husband and life partner, Alan Hamel. No question is off limits in this no holds bar chat with one of the most well known Icons to have ever stepped Behind The Rope.

RHOC OG Jo De La Rosa (on RHOC Current Season, Future RHUGT with Gretchen Rossi & Upcoming Wedding!) Apr 25, 2022

Show notes

Jo De La Rosa steps back Behind The Rope. One of the OG’s of the OC, who was there from Season One, Second One, Scene One. We catch up with Jo about all that she has going on in life since she was here last - newly engaged, wedding planning, living the dream in LA. Of course, the convo quickly turns to this current season of RHOC and Jo is happy to help us make sense of it all. The return of Fancy Pants Dubrow, Newbies Noella and Dr. Jen, Team Heather / Shannon, Botched’s Dr. Terry Dubrow as an honorary housewife, Shane passing the bar, Noella’s real life drama divorce which played out in real time in the media, the much needed comic relief of one miss Gina Kirschenheiter, how we have learned to never, and we mean ever, come for Heather Durbow’s fam and much more. Here we are again with ratings, the public’s cry that this season was not their favorite and what happens now. Finally we chat about her potential involvement in future installments of RHUGT and just what that would look like assuming she would be cast alongside one Miss Gretchen Christine Rossi! Yes, we mention it all with the help of one of the OG’s herself, Miss Jo De La Rosa!!!

Kim D. Responds to The Gorgas' WWHL Love, We Respond to Teddi Mellencamp's Diss, & RHONJ Recap! Apr 23, 2022

Show notes

Where were you this past Tuesday night during Watch What Happens Live? Did you almost pass out and roll over when Melissa and Joe Gorga both said they “like” Kim D.? Since when? We break down these recent statements and the newfound love between The Gorga’s and our weekly #RHONJ - and hopefully more - recruit Ms. Kim D. In other news, word on the street is that woman Teddi Mellencamp has something to say about our weekly chats with Kim D. Does Miss ex-RHOBH really think she can play with the big girls over here Behind The Rope on the East Coast. Finally, let us not forget, there was an actual episode this past week. Tre is on the move, outta the house and away the girls sing, the boys drink and if you haven’t heard, Tre is mad mad mad. This and so much more as Kim D. reveals all she has learned IRL this past week in Jerzy land.
