LARSA PIPPEN (on RHOM, The Reunion, Kim Kardashian, Only Fans, Scottie, & Dating)!! Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

Larsa Pippen steps Behind The Rope. One of the most talked about Housewives, well, ever, steps Behind The Rope to chat about it all. Larsa breaks down being an OG RHOM as part of Season One of the Miami Franchise, leaving the show, and ultimately returning for the much talked about reboot which we all watched week after week. Now that the reunion is here, we could think of no better RHOM than to break it all down with. We talk cast mates Marysol, Alexia, Julia, Adriana, Guerdy, and Lisa, the drama, season highs and lows. Of course, we break down Larsa’s infamous Only Fans and just how does one achieve Larsa Only Fans status of $10,000 a day. Now that Larsa's divorce from Scottie is final, we chat dating, joining The Bachelorette, whose DMs she just slid into and what exactly is Larsa looking for in her next mate. Finally, we break down that other reality show, and friendship she was a part of, Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Kim and discuss how now that Larsa is done with ex-friends and exes - it is truly her time to shine!

Kim D. (on This Weeks #RHONJ & Real Life Updates on Tre/Luis/Dolo & More!) Mar 05, 2022

Show notes

Kim D. is back for her weekly #RHONJ recap and she is, as usual, holding nothing back. Double standard much? Tre doesn’t want anyone to talk about Luis, anytime, anywhere, ever. Whops. Guilty as charged. Not that Tre needs to worry about it because even on her best day, Luis isn’t intimidated by Marge. Mel ain’t none too happy 'bout the fact that Tre stayed with Jennifer after it got physical - we always knew that JAydin had it in her - and Frank Catania reminds us that none of us want Patterson Dolo to come out. Seems we are still trying to make sense of the viral vid that shook the Garden State while Jackie tries to deal with real life issues that are actually important. Of course, as usual, Kim spent the week digging up some real life behind the scenes dirt for y’all - who says Jennifer Aydin is the only one good at that - which she shares here today. Obviously, it involves Luis and Tre because, you wouldn’t want Kim D. any other way.

Lisa Barlow (on RHOSLC Past, Present, Future!) Mar 04, 2022

Show notes

What an epic Sophomore Season of RHOSLC this has been and an even more epic RHOSLC Reunion. With everyone buzzing about Lisa Barlow, we figured it was a great time to share this chat we had with Lisa just one year ago. Have things changed? The more things change, the more they stay the same? Thoughts?

Lisa Barlow, hot off the RHOSL finale, steps Behind The Rope (with special guest appearance by John Barlow). The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Lisa Barlow and we could not be more excited to chat with her about this new stellar addition to the franchise. After a brief background on Lisa, where she grew up, how she ended up in Salt Lake, where she met husband John Barlow, and all things Vida Tequila (yes kids, we have a new Housewives’ product!), we get right into all the current drama on the freshman season of RHOSL. Lisa explains which franchises she watched prior to being cast on the show, how she originally got involved in the show, why Salt Lake is the perfect location for a Real Housewives show and what other Bravolebrities and Housewives she heard from now that the show has aired. Lisa dives deep on her many year friendship with fellow cast mate Meredith Marks and is happy to discuss all of her new “friends” Jen Shah, Mary Cosby, Heather Gay, and Whitney Rose. Lisa chats about who she thinks was authentically themselves during filming and was portrayed accurately now that the show has aired. She also chats about who loved the camera a little too much and brought the drama even when there was no drama needed to be brought. On that note, Lisa opens up about what what she thinks is the biggest misconception of herself, reflects back on some of the seasons already iconic moments and chats about what she plans, if anything, to do differently for Season Two. With our prodding, she addresses Vanderpump Rules Katie Maloney’s recent comments about her “Queen of Sundance” title that Jen Shah bestowed upon her. Thank you Lisa. Finally, we discuss the Vida Tequila event Bethenny Frankel attended back in the day and what she has to now say to the Skinnygirl Mogul. A true RHOSL extravaganza not to be missed.

Adrienne Bailon (on RHOBH, Co-Host Garcelle Beauvais/Dorit Kemsley, BFFs Kim K/Kourtney's New Men & "I Can See Your Voice"!) Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

Adrienne Bailon steps Behind The Rope. She’s back! Adrienne chats about the new season of the wildly popular “I Can See Your Voice”. Adrienne chats fellow judges, guest stars and the time she was star struck by Paula Abdul when she stopped by! We take a trip down memory lane a la The Cheetah Girls and chat possible reunions and new music. Turning to her day job, Adrienne chats about “The Real” - recent guest co-host Kathy Hilton, permanent co-host Garcelle Beauvais and all that is going on in the world of RHOBH. Yes, of course we chat spoilers and drama that Garcelle may have spilled from this upcoming season which is currently now filming! As part of her day job, Adrienne deep dives on current Hollywood topics and we could not help but to ask her opinion on many of these such as Britney & Jamie Lynn, Bennifer and last, but certainly not least, what she thinks about BFF Kim Kardashian’s new relationship with BF Pete Davidson and if she will be attending the upcoming nuptials of one Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker. Finally, we chat about whether she would ever join RHOBH with co-star and friend Garcelle Beauvais.

Summer House (Lindsay/Carl, Kyle/Amanda, Paige/Craig), RHOP (Candiace Dillard's Future), RHOSLC (Filming) Updates! Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

Summer House! How did this show go from the “little show that could” to the blockbuster “fan fav” that it is today. Season Six. We break it all down - love triangles, looming weddings, on agains, off agains, new cast members, Andrea’s abs, Carl & Lindsey and much much more. In other news, we chat about the real life Potomac updates we have to share from our time in the DMV and the conflicting posts, texts, and rumors about whether Candiace Dillard Bassett will be returning next season to RHOP and who should actually go. Speaking of Potomac, we break the fourth wall to analyze how things have changed from the good ole days where filming starts right after a prior season’s end, such as current RHOBH and RHOSLC, and every other franchise which seems to be taking its sweet time to find the right mix of drama. Finally we chat about RHOSLC Jennie Nguyen’s exit and what actual metrics and standards Bravo seems to be using to determine who ends up “cancelled”. Whew, all that and we are just getting started.

Todd Bridges (on Big Brother, Todrick Hall, Lamar Odom, Khloé Kardashian, Rock Bottom & Diff'rent Strokes)!! Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Todd Bridges steps Behind The Rope. Fresh off his epic turn on this just completed season of Celebrity Big Brother, Todd is here to mention it all. Todd holds nothing back, his now infamous eye rolls and all, to break down his own game play, Todrick Hall’s game play which seems to have all of Pop Culture in a flutter, where he thinks it all went wrong for him, alliances, deception, Julie Chen, whether Todrick will now be “cancelled” in the real world, and what being in the house with two Real Housewives Cynthia Bailey and Teddi Mellencamp was like. Of course, we also deep dive into Todd’s breakout role as Willis Jackson in Diff'rent Strokes - what working on that show was like, highs/lows, famous guest stars like Janet Jackson and, of course, one of the most iconic sayings in TV sitcom history, “Watcha talkin’ bout Willis”. Todd opens up about life after Diff’rent Strokes ended - addiction, arrests, rock bottom and his road to recovery and sobriety which, as a result of Big Brother, has led to his new role of “Sobriety Coach” for Lamar Odom, late night Khloé Kardashian talks and all! Finally, we chat about what is next and his epic, iconic idea for a Diff’rent Strokes reboot!

Of course we address this seasons highs - Gina, Emily, oh hey there Max & Kat Dubrow! and lows - Shannon, Noella, ruined Nobu. We discuss Heather’s brand new show with husband Terry, “Seven Year Stitch” trying to save struggling marriages, her relationship advice for Vicki Gunvalson, Meghan King Edmonds and more. Finally, we talk about Heather’s real life “run ins” and recent comments which have been made with and by Margaret Josephs, Tamra Judge, Teddi Mellencamp and “that other ex RHOC castmate” which she does not mention by name as life inside Chateau Dubrow and one of the best Porte Cocheres we have ever seen seems to be ever-changing by the day. As we said, we mention it all!!

Kim. D (On Why Dolores Wasn't At Tre's Engagement Party, Caroline Manzo's Involvement & RHONJ Recap!) Feb 26, 2022

Show notes

Kim D. is back to help us break this week’s #RHONJ down. Tre tells a Producer to F Off and Luis don’t wanna be part of the gang no more. Anything for her man, right? We cover it all - Jen, Dolo, Marge of oh yea, Mel and Jackie have got something goin’ on too. Spiked Water anyone? Of course, the convo quickly turns to the NJ real world, specifically the REAL reason why Dolores wasn’t invited to Tre’s engagement party. How shocked on a scale from 1 to 10 would you be if we told you it involved Caroline Manzo? Do all NJ roads lead back to Ms. Manzo. In true Kim D. fashion, she does not hold back!
