Show notes

Craig Ramsay, from the hit Bravo TV shows Thintervention with Jackie Warner and Newlyweds: The First Year, steps Behind The Rope to talk Bravo, Pop Culture and More. Craig talks the highs and lows of Shahs of Sunset, Jackie Warner’s post Bravo struggles, past Bravo classics, the early days of Housewives, early days Andy Cohen, falling out with Orange County Housewives and more. Speaking of more, Craig talks the joys of working with Rosie O’Donnell, dishes the less than joyous experience of working with Lea Michele, chats Tom and Ariana and hanging with other pop culture icons. With the holiday time amongst us, literally today Merry Xmas Eve, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Craig Ramsay. Of course, we also talk Craig’s past ties with the one and only Danielle Staub. Way to bury the lead.

Dorit’s Good & Bad News, Teddi Mellencamp’s Karma, Tom Sandoval’s Bad Year & Bethenny Frankel’s New Love Dec 18, 2024

Show notes

Tom Sandoval is ending his already not so great year in a not so great way - let go from Vanderpump Rules along with all other OGs, the closing of Schwartz and Sandy’s after a rocky run and more. We chat about the year of Sandoval, share updates on his relationship with model Victoria Lee Robinson and what we can expect from The Most Extras “most extra” front man as he prepares for a 2025 which will ultimately see him facing off, sans attorney, in court against Rachel Leviss. Despite many claims that she could be faking it for a storyline, Dorit rises to the RHOBH occasion, finds her voice, carries the season - so far and makes moves to prepare for the rest of the season and an upcoming year in which she is bound to experience many “firsts”. Teddi, who has been very judgmental of others’ affairs, relationships and mess ups, seems to be the target of a lot of on line trolling, is being mentioned on RHOBH more than when she was on the show and has been sending mixed messages about Kyle, Edwin and the horse trainer which leaves many wondering wtf is really going on. Finally, Bethenny Frankel has a new message for Kelly Bensimon, flaunts her new man Tom even more than before and tries to balance the holidays, work, motherhood and romance as she closes out the year with a bang. All this and more as we are joined by the one and only Psychic Leota from The Psychic Source.

James Kennedy’s Arrest, Ally’s Conflicting Statements, Doute & Leviss’ Thoughts & Remaining VPR Cast “Reacts" Dec 17, 2024

Show notes

James Kennedy was arrested last week after Kathy Hilton’s Xmas party. So much has happened leading up to this arrest, during this arrest and since this arrest. Today we break it all down - Kathy’s Christmas party, what really happened at home between Ally and James after, the neighbor who called the police, the police report claiming Mr. Kennedy “threw” Ms. Lewber to the ground and the charges filed against James. Next we discuss Kristen Doute and Rachel Leviss’ past romantic relationships with James, their statements after James’ arrest and last, but certainly not least, Rachel Leviss’ attorneys’ claim that Evolution and Bravo not only knew, but also tried to cover up James’ known, erratic, explosive behavior throughout the years he was a cast member on Vanderpump Rules. Finally, we discuss what would a VPR OG show be like if it were currently filming now in real time, whether this would have cost James his VPR job if he were not already fired and the rest of the cast and LVP's opinions, statements and thoughts about James’ arrest.

RHOBH Recap (Dorit’s Anger, Erika’s Side Conversaitons, Kyle’s Double Standards & Teddi Mellencamp's Pure Joy) Dec 14, 2024

Show notes

RHOBH Season 14, Episode 4. The season of Dorit continues. Real? Fake? Who cares? An activated Dorit is here to stay and we are living for it. Dorit and Kyle pick up right where they left off last week. Claims of double standards, demanded blind loyalty, friendship punishments and more, Dorit holds nothing back in telling Kyle, Garcelle, Sutton and anyone else who gets in her way exactly what she thinks about them. Kathy Hilton, Boz and Jennifer Tilly are the greek chorus and watch every move in awe of what they are witnessing. We get it. Teddi Mellencamp’s name is mentioned for the second time this season which, as Garcelle said best, makes Teddi very, and we mean, very happy. Finally, Sutton and Dorit explode on each other, Erika becomes the queen of side convos, Sutton wants sisterhood and oh, so much more, as we break all down in RHOBH-land from the past week.
