James Kennedy’s New Normal, What LVP & VPR Cast Knew About James & VPR Reboot’s Plan Jan 28, 2025

Show notes

Now that the VPR Reboot is said to be moving forward, it is time to check in on casting, filming, Sur and an expected release date of the so called rebooted Vanderpump Rules. The Valley Season Two prepares to drop an explosive trailer which production, Bravo, Jax and Brittany all claim is bound to the one of the most insane seasons of Reality TV, well, ever. James Kennedy and Ally Lewber may be broken and all of the charges against James may be dropped, but how much did Bravo, Production, Andy Cohen, the VPR cast and Lisa Vanderpump really know and / or see throughout the years of his alleged behavior. Jax and Brittany are still not speaking, Stassi’s new show is in heavy production and much more as we cover it all in the VanderVerse here today with the one and only Rob Schulte.

Brynn Whitfield’s Final Act, LVP’s RHOBH Return, RHONY’s Cast Changes & Danielle Cabral’s Big Moves Jan 26, 2025

Show notes

The RHONY Season 15 finale has come and gone with a bang. After what many call a difficult second season, Brynn Whitfield may have finally taken it too far by claiming Ubah Hassan knew about her past SA while Ubah screamed that she did not. Of course the whole cast Erin, Sai, Jenna, Jessel, Racquel, even Rebecca Minkoff - yea, we forgot she was there too - weighted in, shed tears and unilaterally decided they are done with Brynn. Brynn broke her silence in an interview exclusive, Jenna claimed Brynn was dangerous on WWHL, the fans demanded she be terminated or the show cancelled and much more h$ll hath broken loose over the past few days in our one third home and fav city of them all. In other news, Andy Cohen weighs in on Lisa Vanderpump returning to RHOBH, The Traitors continues to reign supreme and Danielle Cabral makes major moves across the river in good ole’ RHONJ land. All this and more.

Shawn Trujillo (w/ special Guest Appearance by wife Angie Katsanevas) steps Behind The Rope. Shawn (& Angie) is here to chat about all things RHOSLC! Shawn opens up about what it was like to be one of RHOSLC’s central storylines having his marriage, fidelity to Angie and sexuality questioned.

Kyle Walks Away From RHOBH, Erika Fears Kyle & Teresa Reveals RHONJ Season 15 Is Casting New Women Jan 25, 2025

Show notes

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Season 14, Episode 8. Kyle doth protest too much. The subject of Kyle’s texts to PK remains center stage as the ladies, minus EJ, rally around Dorit holding Kyle’s feet to the fire regarding these, some would say scandalous, texts to PK. Is Kyle as innocent as she claims blaming her bold statements on Production and the show or was she promising to keep PK’s private thoughts from Dorit? Erika remains torn between her two friends even though Dorit claims she is afraid of Kyle, Kyle walks out, Garcelle has an unlikely and unexpected moment and bond with Dorit, Jennifer Tilly learns about memes - welcome to 2025, Sutton refuses to bow down to the house of Kyle Richards, Kathy vacations and Boz tries to employ corporate practices to this dysfunctional group to no avail, hot chefs, massages and all. In other news, Teresa and Jackie reveal RHONJ producers are looking for new women for next season of RHONJ. We break down what this really means and why it does not mean the show is definitely coming back. Jackie talks her RHONJ future, Tre reveals hers and both spill tea about their fellow, for the time ex, cast members.

RHOBH Cast's Plan To Take Down Kyle, Andy's Plan For LVP's Return & Kelly Dodd Decimates Heather Dubrow Jan 22, 2025

Show notes

RHOBH is on fire both on and off air this epic season. Kyle Richards reveals secret scenes she filmed with Sutton Stracke, explains how she really feels about Sutton’s claim of infidelity in her marriage, shares a not so nice message for Garcelle and links up with Morgan Wade post fire right here in our very own LA. The cast is rumored to be furious and done with Kyle and her special Producer treatment - diamond necklaces for Christmas - as they secretly plan a Richards overthrow. Andy Cohen targets Lisa Vanderpump for an RHOBH return to coincide with the reboot of VPR. Kelly Dodd returns to her latest, and probably original target Heather Dubrow going on several rants over the past week targeted at Ms. Durbow and her children, or at least one child in particular. Justin Baldoni sues Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively for $400 Million Dollars, mentions Taylor Swift, Blake claps back and Justin releases receipts. Finally, Wendy Williams speaks out against her conservatorship in a series of heart wrenching interviews, Spencer and Heidi plan their next move as they rebuild their lives post fire and we reveal in the RHOSLC finale in an epic show us your worst text game that has already gone down as one of the most legendary moves in Housewives history.

Show notes

Patrik and Pol, everyone’s favorite chumps, stop by to help us make sense of so very much which has been happening in the BravoVerse and beyond over the past few weeks.

The OG cast of Vanderpump Rules is trying to rebuild now that the show has been recast, Countess Luann prepares for a busy year ahead, RHOP plugs along, RHOSLC basks in a great season and Jeff Lewis prepares to return to Bravo and, possibly, maybe, mend a few fences or two.

Craig and Paige have broken up. This much we know.

Jennifer Aydin is still going through the five stages of grief now that RHONJ is probably over forever and her star is fading, Bill grows distant and secrets from the most popular pool house in Paramus are uncovered. Finally, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Justin Baldoni’s joint drama gets messier by the week but all is definitely not as the eye sees.
