Margaret Josephs/ Dorinda Medley Feud Heats Up, Jen Shah's Husband/ Monica Garcia Affair Exposed & Melissa Gorga Hits Back Dec 04, 2024

Show notes

A few weeks ago we discussed Margaret Josephs and Dorinda Medley’s new rumored feud which started on Jeff Lewis Live. Today we share updates on this feud, separate fact from fiction, address the rumors that poor ticket sales led to the cancellation of their live show, reference our previous discussion on this matter, discuss Teresa’s narrative that it is all Marge’s fault and analyze just how severe this feud is and what happens next for these once friends. Jennifer Aydin keeps acting out trying to avoid the inevitable alleged end of her RHONJ future. Melissa Gorga claps back at Kiki Barth explaining, with the help of Joey G, all the many reasons she has a gazillion followers. Heather Gay claims Monica Garcia told her she tried to kiss Sharrieff Shah in a parking lot gas station - only in Utah, was pinning after him for years, had an affair and so much more as Monica, Sharrieff and Jen Shah - from prison - strongly deny any and all of Ms. Gay’s allegations. Finally, we share updates on the pause and return, if ever, of RHONJ and next potential seasons of RHONY and Vanderpump Rules.

Show notes

Psychic Robbin steps back Behind The Rope. She’s baaack. Psychic Robbin is here to help us make sense of all that is happening this week in the BravoSphere. Psychic Robbin delves into this current season of RHOBH, the fallout of Kyle’s friendship with Dorit, the separation of Dorit and PK, Kyle’s separation and looming divorce from Mauricio, Kyle’s refusal to mention Morgan, Kyle and Kathy’s current “tough love” phase with sister Kim Richards and so much more. Robbin tells us all that she sees regarding the rest of the RHOBH season for each of their friendships, relationships and marriages explaining which can be mended, which will be mended and which are just gone and broken forever. Next Psychic Robbin heads east to The Garden State to help us revisit the current RHONJ pause. Robbin discusses Teresa - what she sees in terms of her future on the show, whether she will be back next season, whether Melissa will be back next season, whether Teresa is nervous considering the pause is lingering on and money is being spent like water. Robbin also breaks down the marriage between Tre and Louie - sharing updates on whether they will last forever as soul mates or are ultimately headed for divorce and what months will be great and not so great for the TreHuggers’ Queen in 2025. Finally, Psychic Robbin visits Love Hotel explaining if Shannon Beador will finally find her guy in 2025 and addresses Alexis & John Janssen’s rumored exit from RHOC holding nothing back revealing harsh truths, tough love and what she sees for the future for Kyle, Dorit, Kathy, Kim Richards, Teresa, Louie, PK, Shannon, Melissa, Alexis and many more of our favorite housewives coast to coast.

MELISSA RIVERS (on Dorit’s Masterplan, Andy Cohen’s Comments on Housewives’ Future & Diddy’s Bad News) Dec 02, 2024

Show notes

It’s that time of the month again. Melissa Rivers is back to help us break down and make sense of all that is happening on our Bravo screens and in our Pop Culture world. With another highly rated season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills well underway, Melissa talks this past week's RHOBH episode and helps summarize all that is going on off air. Dorit and Kyle still not in a good place, Erika in the middle, PK and Dorit’s marriage unravelling before our very eyes, newbies Boz and Tilly stealing many scenes they are in, Kathy Hilton holding court and so much more, Melissa helps us recap it all. In other news, Melissa shares personal knowledge about the Equestrian culture of the west coast that Teddi Mellencamp has found herself smack dab in the middle of. We break down Teddi’s vague, world salad of a statement on her divorce from Edwin and analyze whether as a Real Housewives Podcast Host, she, he or us have the duty to talk about drama as it unfolds in our personal lives the way we talk about all the other Housewives’ dirt. Finally, we discuss more setbacks for Diddy - new claims against the once revered rapper, incriminating jail cell notes and bail denied once again, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce - the gift that keeps on giving to all in their inner camp many times over and last, but certainly not least, Cher’s scorching hot new memoir which leaves no stone unturned and holds nothing back in taking everyone to task who has done this epic icon wrong throughout her multi-decade long reign at the top. As we said, everyone’s fav time of the month.

VPR’s Reboot Foreshadows RHONJ’s Future, Kristin Chenoweth Slams Teresa Giudice & Kyle Wants Eileen Davidson Back Dec 01, 2024

Show notes

Kristin Chenoweth slams Teresa Giudice as “Scary” and a “Dangerous Person”. We break down these claims, explain where they originate from, discuss the validity of them and analyze why she is “Team Gorga”. Speaking of Melissa Gorga, Kiki Barth shades her claiming she buys fake followers and Mel prepares to hit back. Vanderpump Rules has ended and, money aside, a cast divided where two main cast members are no longer speaking is a huge reason for its demise. Sound familiar? We address the rumors that Teresa is freaking out about the end of VPR as a foreshadow to her potential RHONJ termination when the announcement of RHONJ Season 15 drops, probably, possibly, early 2025. Lala reveals her big Vanderpump regret, Scheana weighs in and LVP prepares for Season 12. Finally, Kyle Richards wants Eileen Davidson back on RHOBH, Eileen responds and other past Diamond Holders emerge ripe for a return in the future.

Lisa Rinna, Eileen Davidson, General Hospital & How Reality TV Has Become The Modern Day Soap (w/ Sean Kanan) Dec 01, 2024

Show notes

Sean Kanan steps Behind The Rope. Let us start at the beginning. The Karate Kid Part III, The Outsiders, and of course his long run as A.J. Quartermaine on General Hospital, is here to mention it all. Sean talks GH Co-Stars Ricky Martin, Vanessa Marcil, and Antonio Sabato Jr. He also discusses some of his other “Soap Opera” friends such as Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson. Sean discusses the differences between being on General Hospital, The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless. We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with Sean and a perfect end to the holiday weekend as we dissect how Reality TV has become the modern day soap opera with much better returns on investment.
