HEATHER & TERRY DUBROW (on RHOC, Tamra, Shannon, Vicki, Botched, The Swan & Kelly Dodd!) Oct 13, 2024

Show notes

Heather and Terry Dubrow step Behind The Rope. Heather and Terry chat all things RHOC - the highs and lows, many cast changes over the years and cast mates such as Tamra, Vicki, Shannon & Kelly Dodd. We also chat other franchises such as RHONY & RHOBH, Garcelle, Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna. The conversation then turns to Botched, many of Terry’s extra challenging cases and Botched colleague and friend Paul Nassif. Before Botched there was The Swan, one of the best reality shows of all time (google it people), which Terry was a Doctor on. He informed us it is ranked as one of the worst reality shows of all time (we now love it just a little more). With all the talk this season about the takedown of Tamra Judge, the redemption of Shannon and the coupling of Alexis & Johnny J, we figured today the perfect day to remind everyone about this blast from the past chat with the one and only Fancy Pants and Mr. Fancy Pants Dubrow.

Show notes

What have we done to be so blessed to have three Housewives shows on at the same time. RHOP Returns with a bang, literally, a la The Grand Dame’s car crash and DUI. Gizelle comes to the rescue, seemingly, Mia reveals a lot, Wendy quits her Professorship, Ashley starts to date and much, much more. RHONY episode two drops with shocks, surprises and Scientology a la Rebecca Minkoff. RHOSLC plugs along with more bath balms, Mary-isms and surprise ups and downs. The Villains premieres with Teresa Giudice front and center. Teresa tells a few new lies, slams Anna Delvey and explains how and why Villains is different than RHONJ. Margaret doubles down on her threats, or promises depending how you look at it, to quit RHONJ. Speaking of RHONJ… we have got a few more things to say…

Show notes

Stassi Schroeder reveals she was asked back to Vanderpump Rules and then basically “fired” all over again. We break down Stassi’s strange set of circumstances with VPR, Producers and Bravo and discuss her, and other Reality Stars’ comebacks over the years. With RHONY back in our lives, we figured it time to give a true accurate break down of this season, why Rebecca Minkoff is a great hire and why they should quadruple down on Scientology and the Leah, Tom, John, David no last names needed of it all. Speaking of RHONY, we discuss the very, and we mean very, good news for Teresa, Melissa and a few others across the river in RHONJ land, break down the shocking attempted take down of Tamra Judge, share updates with Kelly Dodd and last, but certainly not least, review Jeff Lewis’ shocking, unbelievable, insane comments about BFF Shannon Beador and offer our unsolicited advice to Miss Beador as only we know how.

ELIZABETH VARGAS (on Tamra’s Season Long Bit$h Reign, New Run Ins w/ Alexis & Johnny J and The Return of Kelly Dodd) Oct 07, 2024

Show notes

Elizabeth Vargas steps back Behind The Rope. Many years ago we had Elizabeth on right after her one season wonder ended on RHOC. With so much going on this current season, we figured it the best time to sit down and chat with Elizabeth again. We break down all that has been happening this season - the return of Jesus Jugs, her engagement to Johnny J and the videotape of what really went down with Shannon that fateful night she crashed her car into a house. Elizabeth discusses the importance of Emily and Gina, the return to form of the Tamra we all know, Shannon’s edit and redemption and much, much more. Seeing as the OC is a small place where everyone seems to know everyone, Elizabeth brought friends with her who know more about what happened the night Shannon received her DUI, who have had past histories and run ins with Johnny J, who know our good friend - cue the sarcasm - ole Kelly Dodd and much, much more off screen drama, secrets and true boots on the RHOC in their backyard ground with the one and only Miss Elizabeth Vargas. For everyone who wants to check out Elizabeth’s Podcast, it can be found under “Elizabeth Lyn Vargas TV” wherever you get your podcasts! Part II Starts Now.

Margaret Josephs Defends Tamra Judge, RHOC Becomes The New RHONJ & Alexis Bellino Loses Her Sh$T Oct 06, 2024

Show notes

Margaret Josephs has come out swinging in support of her friend Tamra Judge. As the mounting calls for Tamra’s takedown, termination and legal action against her continue by viewers, the Housewife Community - Teresa, Jill Zarin, Vicki, Shannon, Gretchen, Kelly Dodd and RHOC colleagues, Margaret details why she will not turn her back on her friend. Margaret explains why she thinks RHOC is bordering on RHONJ territory as we discuss whether the OC is the next franchise to go on pause, whether it has risen to the toxic level of RHONJ, what to expect at the upcoming RHOC soon to be filmed reunion and offer words of advice, along with both Marge and Melissa Gorga’s word of advice, to the RHOC cast on what to avoid moving forward. Speaking of the RHONJ pause, we share some real reasons of how we got here and why it won't be ending anytime soon, discuss Johnny J’s first, most unexpected RHOC confessional, break down the real reasons why Alexis wont be attending the cast trip and what to expect as this return to form season of the Grandaddy of them all, RHOC, continues on.
