HEATHER DUBROW (on RHOC, The Many Moods of Tamra, Shannon, Terry, Kelly Dodd & Reunions) Oct 20, 2024

Show notes

Heather Dubrow steps Behind The Rope. Fancy Pants is back Behind The Rope to mention it all. Heather chats about how Housewives has changed during her run on the show from the early days of Bravo and cast mates past and present answering some of life’s most important questions as to who she wants back, who she would like to see gone and her very own future as we head into the RHOC reunion ready to close yet another epic season. We talk about Heather’s real life “run ins” and comments made throughout the years by Margaret Josephs, Tamra Judge, Teddi Mellencamp and “that other ex RHOC castmate” who we have a thing or two to say about also. With the many ups and downs between Shannon and Tamra this season, appearances by Vicki and many come to life moments by Emily and Gina, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Miss Heather Dubrow.

Kyle Richards’ Huge Win, Karen Huger / Shannon Beador Double Standard & Mary Cosby’s Major Setback Oct 17, 2024

Show notes

Kyle Richards has just received the Reality Star of The Year in US Weekly’s annual poll. We break down all that Kyle has had to endure and achieve this year both on air and off to receive this award - breakup from Mauricio, sister who has relapsed, fallout and reconciliation with her other sister, same sex relationship with a county superstar and so very much more. Speaking of the country superstar and sisters, we share updates on Kyle’s relationships with Morgan Wade, Kathy, Kim and the rest of the RHOBH cast as we prepare to head into Season 14 premiering later this year. These stellar seasons of RHOP, RHOSLC and RHOC continue on as Karen Huger’s DUI seems to be addressed and dealt with much differently than Shannon Beador's, newbie Stacey Rusch continues to make her mark, Gizelle remains conflicted between good friend and reasonably shady, Mia Thornton moves into a reality tv position of power and last, but certainly not least, Mary Cosby addresses her son’s status as he remains in rehab fighting for sobriety. Oh yea, for all of those wondering, RHONY is still on the air and the rumors of Dubai’s cancellation grow stronger.

Jennifer Aydin, Teresa Giudice & Dolores Catania Return To RHONJ Season 15 (Separating Fact From Fiction) Oct 15, 2024

Show notes

Jennifer Aydin stated that she will be returning to The Real Housewives of New Jersey next season. After Jennifer’s claims made the rounds, a so called RHONJ insider claims that Teresa and Dolores will return alongside Jennifer next season. We address these “insider” claims, Miss Aydin’s claims, break down just who this / these RHONJ insiders are and, most importantly, the likelihood any of this is true. We discuss the importance of RHONY and The Villains in determining the future cast of RHONJ, when we can realistically expect Bravo to focus on RHONJ’s future, Marge and Melissa’s claims about their future and why Jen Aydin could learn a thing of two from Marge The Sarge.

GRETCHEN ROSSI (on Tamra's Reign Of Terror, Kelly Dodd, Possible RHOC Return & Slade Smiley) Oct 14, 2024

Show notes

Gretchen Rossi steps Behind The Rope. It is hard to imagine it’s been seven seasons since Gretchen was last a full time cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange County. Gretchen reflects back on her several season run on the granddaddy of The Real Housewives Franchise. We discuss the good (meeting fiancé Slade Smiley, performing with the Pussycat Dolls), the bad (there seems to be no love loss between her and former co-star Tamra Judge, the 80s Bunco Party, a reference to a certain muppet who goes by the name Miss Piggy), and the other (how RHOC has forever changed her life). Gretchen chats about many of her former colleagues - Vicki Gunvalson, Heather Dubrow, Alexis “Jesus Juggs” Bellino and more. With all the talk in the past few weeks about Tamra’s Takedown, potential lawsuits and former RHOC cast members and Housewives across all franchises, including Gretchen, weighing in on the current and decade long past actions of Tamra, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Gretchen Rossi.

Louie Ruelas’ Warrior Camp Owner Sued, Teresa Loses The Villains & Shannon Beador’s Fake Apology Oct 13, 2024

Show notes

Louie Ruelas’ friend and owner of “Warrior Camp”, Garrett White, has been sued by several women for sexual harassment among other things. We break down those claims, discuss the camp, talk about Garrett’s other friend Ryan Boyajian from RHOC, the bond between Ryan, Jen Pedantri, Louie and Teresa against Tamra Judge and much more. Speaking of Teresa, we discuss the first episode of The Villains, Tiffany “New York” Pollard vs. Tre, the rumors that Teresa told Bloggers, here we go again, that she did not win and what to expect the rest of this season knowing RHONJ does not take the crown. Joel Kim Booster issues an apology to Shannon Beador after slamming her regarding her on set “Love Hotel” behavior, we analyze the authenticity of that apology and discuss why people are slowing starting to turn on this season’s RHOC darling, Miss Beador.
