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

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.

Jax Taylor steps 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.

GRETCHEN ROSSI (on Tamra's Reign Of Terror, Kelly Dodd, Possible RHOC Return & Slade Smiley) II Oct 27, 2024

Gretchen Rossi steps back 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 “Spectrum” Diagnosis, 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. Part II starts now.

Teresa & Louie's New "Scam", Jennifer Aydin's Delusion, Melissa's Message To Tre & The Grand Dame's Bad Week Oct 26, 2024

RHONJ may be off the air but many of our favs, who may or may not be returning, have been making quite the headlines this past week. Teresa is urging, or begging based on how you read it, everyone to sign up for some website where we can all make free money to the tune of 50K a year. We break down this very strange biz venture, share updates on Louie’s other biz ventures and answer just what is going on across the river in the Giudice / Ruelas household. Jennifer Aydin cannot seem to accept her fate that she is probably not returning to RHONJ, claims she has spoken to Andy Cohen, slams Tamra as thirsty and backtracks on many of her current statements regarding her cast mates and future of the show. Finally, Melissa Gorga shades Teresa and explains why she follows all the rules unlike her beloved sister in law. In other news, RHOP Season 9, Episode 3. The Grand Dame is in the hot seat as everyone has questions about her DUI, Gizelle remains mad over the GNA event and public headlines arise that her attorney’s motion to dismiss the case against her due to a lack of Miranda Rights has been denied. In other words, the Grand Dame in headed to face a jury for her fateful actions the night she got behind the wheel of the car, allegedly, intoxicated. Mia is messy AF, Stacey becomes enraged with Ashley, Gizelle and Wendy are actually getting along and, even though we are only in episode three, the ladies prepare to head on a cast trip to the far away and exotic state of North Carolina. How exciting.

Yes, Ashley, we know you are an OG too. Jennifer Aydin continues in her five stages of grief and still seems to be clueless about the fact that she will not be returning to RHONJ. RHOSLC continues on with Mary’s participation, Whitney and Meredith growing farther apart, Bronwyn making the rounds and much more. Katie Maloney is in love, Jen Shah’s release date is moved up again and RHONY continues on with highs, lows and everything in between.

Vanderpump Rules Season 12. The rumored final season. We break down what to expect, who will and will not be back and whether Rachel Leviss, now that she has ended her Podcast, will return for one last hurrah. BravoCon 2025 is set to return, sorta. Teresa Giudice may be angered at Jacqueline Laurita based on some of Jacqueline’s recent comments, Tamra Judge’s “bad”, or “bad edit” depending how you look at it, season of RHOC continues, Teresa Giudice’s current stint on The Villains may be helping her RHONJ future and last, but certainly not least, Rihanna has made some crazy, confusing observations reading the Housewives and RHOSLC, RHOP and RHONY.

Tamra Judge rocked the BravoVerse last week when she declared she was “on the spectrum”. We break down Tamra’s statement, analyze the validity of it, weigh in on the public outrage and discuss the claims that it was for sympathy, to excuse over a decade of RHOC bad behavior and / or for a story line next season, RHOC 19. Finally, we discuss the comments thereafter from Vicki, Gretchen, Kelly Dodd and Heather McDonald. In other RHOC news, Jim Bellino and Elizabeth Vargas are dating, then not dating a la #fake news, Gretchen discusses what really went down in the Morocco bathroom between Brandi and Caroline and Jennifer Pedranti gets angrier than F at Tamra earning her place for RHOC 19. Finally, Andy Cohen weighs in again on Jennifer Aydin’s claims, on the future of RHONJ and when we can realistically expect casting announcement for Season 15. Part II starts now!!

Drew Sidora steps Behind The Rope. Now that RHOA Season 16 has wrapped, mostly, we chat with Drew about what to expect and, as important, when we can expect RHOA to return to our Bravo TVs. 2024? 2025?

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

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

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 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 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

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

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.

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

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.

Teresa Giudice Tells New Lies & Slams Anna Delvey, RHOP Returns, RHONY’s Scientology Shines & Margaret “Quits” RHONJ (Again) Oct 12, 2024

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…

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

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

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.

The OG of the OC herself, Jeana Keough, steps Behind The Rope. Stepping out from behind the gates of Coto de Caza, Jeana is here to talk about what Real Housewives was like back in the day, how far Bravo has come and just how much the franchises have changed over the years. Season One, Episode One Of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Jeana was there along with with Vicki, Jo, Lauri, and Kimberly. We discuss some of her other co-stars during her five year tenure as an RHOC cast member: Tamra Judge, Lynne Curtin, Gretchen Rossi and Tammy Knickerbocker as well as some of the other RHOC cast she knows well: Kelly Dodd, Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson. We discuss Slade Smiley, Jeana’s family - Kara, Shane and Colton, BravoCon and Adrienne Maloof. With this stellar return to form season of RHOC more than half way over, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Jeana Keough.

The Downfall of Tamra Judge, Why RHONY’s Season Will Determine RHONJ’s Future & Shannon Slammed as “Terror” Oct 05, 2024

The RHOC Cast past and present, Housewives from other franchises and Housewives community as a whole seem to be coming for Tamra Judge in full force threatening lawsuits, exposure of private information and urging Bravo to terminate this orange holder that seems to have ruffled almost everyone’s feathers this season. Kelly Dodd, Teresa, Vicki, Gretchen, Jim Bellino and many others have weighed in but we wonder, where is her new BFF Alexis Bellino’s support? RHONY returns for Season 15 and we break down the premiere discussing newbies, Scientology, good news and some now so good news. We discuss how and why this RHONY season is crucial for the future of Teresa, Melissa and RHONJ, recap this past week’s RHOSLC and explain why RHONJ is the last thing anyone at Bravo is thinking about. Finally, Joel Kim Booster slams Shannon as a horrific human he hopes suffers with a nod of sympathy for John Janssen as things over at Love Hotel seem to be heating up. We cover his shocking statement in full and share updates.

Our Recent Night Out w/ Paul (PK) Kemsley, Upcoming RHOBH Season Tea & Erika Jayne’s New Loss Oct 03, 2024

Recently we attended what we thought was a Boy George concert. The night turned into a Boy George concert plus a whole lot more which involved full back stage access and a night out with the one and only PK. We chat about our evening with PK and George, dispel many long standing mistruths about Paul Kemsley and, probably most important to y’all, discuss the tea spilled about Dorit and the upcoming season of RHOBH!! Some nights just turn out great. In other RHOBH news, David Foster and Katharine McPhee seem to be having marital issues, Erika Jayne looses her now infamous earnings forever and still faces legal troubles ahead from Marco Marco and last, but certainly not least, Kyle Richards is seen around town, once again, with no wedding ring. Finally, this season of RHOSLC is plugging along with some good news and some not good news, but, fear not, we are here to break it all down.

Kelly Dodd Threatens To Sue Tamra w/ Vicki & Gretchen As Teresa Giudice, Jill Zarin & Jim Bellino Show Support Oct 01, 2024

Tamra Judge has just apologized for a second time regarding potential slanderous remarks which Jennifer Pedranti’s man Ryan Boyajian has threatened to sue her for. We revisit Tamra’s claims and both apologies as we separate fact from fiction on what constitutes slander and defamation, how to serve someone a lawsuit and whether, in fact, Tamra has actually been sued. As a shock to no one, everyone from the OC and Housewives across franchises have weighed in in what seems like support against Tamra. Kelly Dodd has threatened a class action lawsuit urging OC legends Vicki and Gretchen to join in. Kelly details why she wants to sue Tamra, claims she has received advice from Jim Bellino himself and explains why it is time to “take down that Bit$h”. Vicki takes this opportunity to slam Tamra, offer her and RHOC Producers some advice for the future and says she has heard from Teresa and Jill Zarin in support of taking Tamra down. We deep dive why Teresa and Jill each have their own set of issues with Tamra and discuss other Housewives and House Husbands who are eagerly anticipating what happens next in this most interesting turn of events for Miss Tammy Sue Waddle.

Jennifer Aydin’s New Message For Margaret, Obsession w/ The Gorgas & Mary Cosby’s Ramona Singer Era (RHOSLC Recap) Sep 28, 2024

RHOSLC Season 5, Episode 2. Craziness, all stars, over the top fashion and more. Mary Cosby, like Ramona Singer, has no problem looking someone in the face - in this case newbie Britani - and telling them she just does not care at all whatsoever about them. Ahh Mary Ramona Singer Stinger Cosby is in the house. Angie K., still emotional over getting the center snowflake, shows up and shows out but Miss Barlow reminds us that it is way too late to change in your late 40s. Amen to that, no pun intended. Meredith gives us McSweeney, Leah vibes announcing her upcoming Bat Mitzvah, Seth is excited and the bath balm biz is off to the races. We smell a few fake storylines, have heard some off air rumors - and nastiness - and much more. In other news, Jennifer Aydin is still talking about her Gorga run in at BravoCon years ago as we wonder if anyone cares. Finally, Jennifer shares a new message for Margaret Josephs as, surprise, surprise, the RHONJ pause remains in full effect with nothing expected to be discussed til early 2025, if that.
