JAX TAYLOR (on Brittany, “The Valley”, Stassi, LVP, Sandoval, VPR & a "New" Jax) - II Nov 04, 2024

Show notes

Jax Taylor steps back Behind The Rope. Jax is here for a nothing is off limits chat breaking down the full anthology of his time in the VanderVerse - the highs and lows of VPR, cast mates, and ultimate end. Jax clarifies the circumstances surrounding his and wife Brittany Cartwright’s exit, the many misconceptions about it, and the truth as to what actually happened. Jax also talks about the end of his friendship with Stassi, ups and downs of his relationship with Lisa Vanderpump and ins and outs of his bro Tom Sandoval. Recorded in a simpler, and some could argue more peaceful time, before “The Valley”, before his separation from Brittany, Jax talks about a new show he was trying to get off the ground about “Daddy Jax” set in the valley, discusses married life to Brittany and much more. They say hindsight is 20/20. Today we put that theory to the test by sharing this never before aired chat, uncovering easter eggs, foreshadowing and so much more. A nothing is off limits trip down all things Vanderpump lane with the #1 guy in the group, Mr. Jax Taylor. Part II starts now.

Teddi Mellencamp’s Divorce, Tamra’s “Vicki” Photo Backing Manzo’s Lawsuit Against Bravo & RHOC Finale Shocker Nov 03, 2024

Show notes

Teddi Mellencamp announced her Divorce from Edwin Arroyave, her husband of thirteen years. Today, we break down Teddi’s announcement, official “I” not “We” statement, reasons for the divorce, the BravoVerse’s reaction and what happens next for Teddi and her family. Tamra Judge has thrust herself in the middle of Caroline Manzo’s lawsuit against Bravo, Warner Brothers, NBC, Shed Media and Peacock TV claiming she has a picture from Vicki Gunvalson which supports Caroline’s claims against her very own employer, and Caroline’s former employer, Bravo. We break down Tamra’s claims, Vicki’s expected response and the fact that Tamra just cannot seem to avoid lawsuits one way or another. Miss Judge should expect to be deposed when and if the suit moves forward without settlement. Finally, RHOC has concluded with a bang exposing the good ole’ Shannon we have not seen all season, an Emily and Gina move that has primed them for power spots at the reunion, an all over the place Dubrow, newbies Pedranti and Katie who have secured long futures as Orange Holders, a cameo by Johnny J and one, in the best way possible, unhinged Fun “Jesus Jugs” Lexi.

VICKI GUNVALSON (on Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Brooks & Cancer, Alexis Bellino & RHOC) I Nov 03, 2024

Show notes

The OG of the OC Miss Vicki Gunvalson steps Behind The Rope. Vicki is here to chat about the full ride of her RHOC career - the ups and downs, good and bad and everything in between from her time on the show to life after being a full time RHOC Orange Holder. Vicki opens up about many of her much publicized relationships that we have seen and heard so much about on air and behind the scenes - Don, Brooks and Steve. Vicki discusses her many tumultuous relationships with RHOC co-stars Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Kelly Dodd, Alexis “Jesus Jugs” Bellino, Meghan King Edmonds (Did Brooks lie about cancer?), Jeana Keough and Heather Dubrow. Finally, no sit down with The OG of the OC would be complete without a trip down memory lane regarding some of Vicki’s most iconic moments - the State of Oklahoma, Slade Smiley’s infamous “pig” comment, her plastic surgeries throughout the years, Lauri Peterson’s Ski Slope “multiple partners” and of course, last but certainly not least, just how many people can you fit into a family van?

RHOBH Trailer (Kyle vs. Dorit), Vanderpump Rules’ Demise & Our Run In Last Week w/ Lisa Rinna Oct 31, 2024

Show notes

There are so many rumors swirling in the VanderVerse about the future of VPR. Contract disputes, demands for money, the fact that Ariana has moved on both figuratively and literally - as her and Tom’s house goes up for sale and last, but certainly not least, a cast that is much divided with Lala not speaking to Ariana at all. We break down all these facts, discuss the likelihood VPR will return for a final season and address the rumors that the next gen of VanderKids is about to emerge in VPR 2.0. The Real Housewives of Dubai is green lit for Season 3, Caroline Brooks tells fans to F off and we, the BravoVerse, gasp in shock that this low rated franchise is returning. Of course, we have a few theories on that. Finally, we break down our recent run in with Lisa Rinna and discuss the return of RHOBH - trailer released and whether Rinna would, should and could return as a diamond holder one day.
