Now that last season of RHONJ is a thing of the past and most, if not all, of the cast has stopped doing interviews, we have had a chance to reflect on the future of RHONJ.  Taking everything into account - Andy’s comments, the cast’s comments, everything that is rumored to be going on off air with the cast and bloggers, the rumored salaries of each of the cast members and last, but certainly not least, what each of you has posted on line expressing extreme love or intensive dislike for certain cast members, we slow it down, relax, and lay out what we think is going to happen for the future of this show. From reboot rumors, to cast changes, spinoffs and the possibility that the show will never be back, we cover it all. Who will stay? Who will go? Will the decade long feud between Melissa, Joe and Teresa finally come to an end on RHONJ forever? Tune in to hear all of our thoughts, predictions and analyses about the future of our beloved RHONJ.

With gag orders finally lifted now that this season of RHONJ is over, everyone is talking, talking and talking. With interviews galore, we break down all of the claims and statements over the past week from our friends who we may never see on our beloved RHONJ again. Dolores reveals how and why she is very upset at her cast mates. Margaret doubles down that Louie and Teresa will not be together forever, that Teresa has lost all sense of rationale and no longer cares about her job, let alone anything, other than Louie. In other words, she is fully prepared to go down with the ship that is Mr. Ruelas. Cabral and Aydin are still talking about each other, Jackie is laying low, Melissa and Joe put on a live show and Fessler is making music. In other news, Gia claims she will one day be a Real Housewife. Finally, in more positive, happier news, we discuss the latest episode of RHOC - Shannon opens up even more, Alexis alienates a few of her cast mates further, tears are shed, low blows are exchanged and Tamra Judge proves her mean girl streak towards Shannon is just getting started. All this and more.

The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Elizabeth Vargas steps Behind The Rope.  First things first, we chat with Elizabeth about her RHOC experience - the good, the bad, the other and what it is like to join the likes of Former Orange holder Peggy Sulahian and many others from various cities as part of the “One Season Wonder” Club. We address many fans’ criticism of her ill fated Season 15 as “the worst in Housewives History” and break down exactly where and why it all went off the rails. Elizabeth discusses her RHOC cast mates Emily, Gina, Shannon and last but certainly not least, Kelly Dodd. Elizabeth also chats Orange Holders - Megan King, Gretchen Rossi, Jesus Juggs Bellino, Gina Keough, Lynne Curtin, Heather Dubrow, Miss Victoria Gunvalson and Tamra.  Finally, Elizabeth addresses the many misconceptions she feels viewers have about her, how she would like to be remembered from her one season, and much more as we share this blast from the past chat to celebrate this return to form great season of RHOC!

For everyone who did not attend our live show, which lasted over three long hours, no question was off limits. Having just watched one of the most toxic seasons of RHONJ a lot of questions were about RHONJ past, current and, most important, future. Who will return - Teresa or Melissa or Neither? We break all of that down in this Part One of our live show which sold out earlier this month where no question was off limits and where we could not plead the fifth.  From questions about the future of RHONJ, to our own personal break ups and make ups with Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin and other RHONJ staples, we spilled the tea leaving no stone unturned no matter what or who it exposed. If there is one thing we learned from this season of RHONJ, as they say, the truth shall set you free. Of course, we also chatted about this current season of RHOC, shared inside info regarding the future of Vanderpump Rules and discussed what we know about Erika Jayne’s role in RHOBH’s upcoming Season 14. All this and more as we share this Part One today with you, our loyal Patreons. Hey, you may not be able to ask a live question, but at least now you can hear them all and, even more importantly, hear all of the answers. #enjoy

Andy Cohen slams Bethenny Frankel and defends Carole Radziwill in a strange turn of events we never thought we would see.  Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler part ways for good, Jennifer Aydin slams Bravo for their double standard - her words, not ours and Gia takes a larger role in the potential future of RHONJ. Lala and Scheana film The Valley, LVP heads to Vegas, Something About Her spin off rumors emerge and we ask, what about the Toms? All this and more as we settle in for a sunny day of shade.

RHOBH Season 14 filming comes to an end with a bang as Garcelle and Sutton reveal one of the cast was thrown out of a party. What? When? Where? Why? We break it all down and look ahead to what to expect next season of the 90210. RHONY has dropped their trailer to much fan hoopla, the cast trashing each other on social and Andy’s comments of what to expect when the show returns in October. Next we cross the river to the tragic state of affairs in New Jersey, spill the tea on our real life run in with Louie Ruelas, gasp as Marlo shades the F outta Kenya and explain all the reasons why Kelly Dodd was fired all those years ago. Such a pleasant topic to start the day.

Billie Lee steps back Behind The Rope.  Vanderpump Rules’ Billie Lee, that is.  Tom Sandoval’s ex BFF Billie Lee, that is.  Back before Scandoval rocked the BravoVerse and made national headlines worldwide, back before Jax, Kristen and Brittany were back on Bravo a la The Valley, back before it was announced just the other week that Stassi would be returning to the VanderWorld a la Vanderpump Villa and her own show Stassi Says as part of a Hulu development deal, we sat down with Billie Lee. Billie chats about her time on Vanderpump Rules before Scandoval in simpler times when the shows biggest drama was Jax and Stassi and Kristen and, well you know the deal.  Billie talks highs and lows, misconceptions, micro aggressions, “mean girls”, Lisa Vanderpump, her own exit from the show, the much publicized exits of Stassi, Kristen, Jax and Brittany and much more.  They say hindsight is 20/20, but we find this chat even the more interesting, looking for clues and foreshadowing of what was to come back when Ariana and Tom were still together, when Billie was BFFs with Tom and Ariana, both of which seem to no longer be true and much, much more.  Yup, it’s a VPR extravaganza. Of course, there is more to Billie than her time on VPR. She is killing it on the comedy scene as well so sip that cocktail, kick back and enjoy! Part II starts now.

Now that this season of RHONJ has ended and the cast is no longer under contract, they are all doing interviews 24/7 and spilling the good, the bad and the other. We break down all of this week’s RHONJ rumors and interviews thus far, separating fact from fiction and making sense of it all. Frank Catania claims Teresa was asked to step down from RHONJ as if being a cast member is a corporate job, an inside source -  Teresa’s hired bloggers (?) - claims this is untrue and we share our thoughts and what we know. Next, Frank claims the men are not paid, we discuss the rumored Men’s Construction Spin off with Gorga, Catania and Benigno and why the future of RHONJ may be much stranger than we think. Marge explains her rumored Police Report against Louie, shares details about the alleged phone call to her son and wishes everyone a great, happy life. Yea right. She did just trash Jackie in the press so that was short lived Margie. Finally, Dolores talks about her RHONJ position in the past tense as if she is fired, explains her meeting with her Accountant about her financial future and explains why she will always remain Switzerland. All this and so much more as we break down the claims as to whether Louie Ruelas single handedly ruined RHONJ and deep dive all of the hot goss over the past few days in RHONJ land.

Chris Kattan steps Behind The Rope. Mr. Saturday Night Live himself is here to talk about it all from early days at The Groundlings with Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri. Chris chats going from the master class, The Groundlings, to the big league, SNL. Chris breaks down many of his iconic SNL characters - Mr. Peepers, Mango, and one half of the Butabi Brothers, which ultimately led to the iconic film, “A Night at the Roxbury”. Chris chats sequels and reboots with Will and Jim Carey, working with guest stars such as Jennifer Lopez and Ariana Grande and his many impressions throughout the years. Of course, we deep dive into Chris’ time in the Celebrity Big Brother House - roommates in the form of Cynthia Bailey, Carson Kressley and Lamar Odom as well as his decision to leave the game early. Finally, Chris discusses cancel culture, Roseanne Barr and his new podcast “Idiotically Speaking” which you can check out wherever podcasts are found. Warning: this episode will make you laugh!

With RHONJ over and done for, at best, a very, very long time, the RHONJ sure seem to be causing waves off air. After comments about Margaret’s son, an apology, comments about thongs that were said but many think taken out of context, we figured it would be a quiet week for Louie and Tre. Little did we know. Even though they are on vacation, Louie is in the comments answering fans, arguing and last, but certainly not least, calling Marge “pathetic”. We break down all of this, why he is still talking and offer our unsolicited advice on what Louie and Tre should do for the future with or without RHONJ. Jennifer Aydin, on vacation with Tre and Louie, seems to also be living in the comments, clapping back at Margaret, viewers and everyone in between while she deals with fans convinced she is terminated. In other news, casting directors call for Italian American women with big personalities in North End Boston or Chicago as we wonder if the entire RHONJ franchise is headed to another city we all know and love. Finally, tea emerges from the annual RHONJ softball game and we are here to spill it all. Here we were thinking we would have no RHONJ to report on.

Fernanda Rocha steps Behind The Rope. You know, official RHOC “Friend Of”, that is. Fernanda chats about her time on RHOC, cast mates Vicki and Tamra and some of our other fav, and not so fav, Orange Holders - Heather Dubrow, Kelly Dodd and Shannon Beador.  Of course, she also dated former The Real Housewives of Orange County star Braunwyn Windham-Burke which, at the time, went viral. Fernanda chats about meeting Braunwyn, how their relationship went from friendship to dating, the timeline of that relationship in regards to Fernanda’s divorce from her ex-wife, the public scrutiny their relationship received and more. With this stellar season 18 of RHOC underway, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Fernanda Rocha.

The much hyped RHONJ alternate reunion has come and gone. We discuss what it was we actually watched, what was even accomplished and address Andy Cohen’s comments that nothing needed to be resolved after the Rails finale. False.  Dolores gets slammed by Teresa, tries harder to play both sides of the fence and makes sure Teresa knows she is still a loyal soldier. Jennifer Aydin amuses herself, Rachel gets pregnant, Danielle doubles down on what she should have done to Aydin, Melissa Gorga is sadden but loving her new life amused by it all, Fessler sings, Margaret does not think she did anything wrong ever, cast mates unfollow each other, Louie acts stranger by the day in statements, comments and on vacation, Gia and Juicy weigh in and we wonder, when, if ever, the toxicity of Season 14 will ever die down. In other news, Tamara gets meaner, Alexis becomes Lexi, Heather clashes with the newbie, Emily and Gina take their flowers and Shannon continues to remind us she is a woman not afraid to let in all hang out in the very best way possible.

With Real Housewife Franchises on the decline, Bravo turns to past housewives and similar concepts with new shows green lit or in development to be pitched. From The Housewife Dating show with Luann, Giselle, Ashley and Shannon to Dorinda’s Blue Stone Manor Vanderpump Villa concept, Snowbirds which might as well be called Palm Beach Housewives and more, we break down all the new shows and concepts that are in the mix at Bravo.  Next, we address the rumors that Reality Von Tease will be back on RHOSLC, share new tea about the future of Vanderpump Rules and give updates on Ariana and Lala’s fall out.  Finally, we chat this season of RHOC - Tamra’s biggest lie, Vicki’s awkward return. Newbie Katie’s attempt to make her mark, Alexis Bellino’s transformation to “fun Lexi”, Archie Beador’s role, Shannon’s ability to face her problems head on without facing them at all and much, much more.

With RHONJ Season 13 a distant memory, or at least a thing of the past, Louie Ruelas continues to make statements, claims and everything and anything in between as we try to forget the epic fail that was RHONJ Season 14.  In other news, RHOBH is on fire. Garcelle reveals we may be preparing for the Bit$h season of Dorit Kemsley, Kyle’s cast mates are over her, Jennifer Tilley compares the RHOBH master class to working with Scorsese, Sutton brings the heat, Kathy is in rare form and so much more as we wind down filming and prepare for our fav diamond holders to return to our screens later this year.  Finally, Vicki Gunvalson seems to be having an identity crisis, Tamra Judge gets meaner by the week and Shannon Beador continues to reign supreme on this return to form season of RHOC.

This toxic season of RHONJ may have ended with a bang thanks to Louie Ruelas’ claims against Margaret and her family, but the toxicity off line is boiling over in excess. Thanks to Louie's on line apology, deleted scenes, fake scenes, Andy Cohen’s warnings to Louie, Teresa and Louie’s love fest podcast and last, but certainly not least, Louie’s comments about thongs, skin, short skirts and Tre’s daughters, there is more happening off air since last night’s watch party than the whole entire season.  Jennifer Aydin refusing to accept her fate, Danielle Cabral making it clear she loves her husband, the fans giving it to Jackie as they urge for a Margaret redemption tour, a calm cool Melissa and more more. Spilling more tea that we have never heard before, Melissa’s Old Nose addresses rumors she is paid by Marge, explains how she still knows so much about Tre and which other franchise she expects to work for now that RHONJ is over for a very long, if not indefinite, time.

RHONJ Season 14, Episode 13. Season Finale or Series Finale? As we break down this final, or final as we know it or possibly final ever episode of RHONJ, we address those questions and scenarios as we look forward to the future of the cast and show.  Dolores is activated, Margaret is caught in a few lies, Jackie is exposed, Jennifer Aydin hits low, Danielle Cabral hits back, Rachel discusses hot dog lips, Teresa and Louie wish Marge and her family harm, Melissa seems to be amused by it all and last, but certainly not least, the smartest of them all, Jennifer Fessler peaces out letting the Garden State ladies know that this type of drama is not for the faint of heart. Where has Fessler been the past 14 years of our lives? We discuss it all, play by play, from this explosive finale, explain new updates of what has been happening off line and prepare for the alternate reunion tomorrow night. As Dolores taught us, family is everything and this fractured, toxic group is no longer a family. #obvi Oh, what a season it has been.

It is 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. First, we talk about what everyone is talking about, The Olympics. The fashion, faux pas and celebs. We cover it all. Next we discuss the ever changing saga of Kyle and Mauricio, break down just how bothered Kyle really is or is not over Mo’s new woman and chat the likelihood we will see any of this next season when RHOBH returns later this year. Speaking of break ups, JLO is still in the Hamptons living her best life as Ben is rumored to have purchased a new home.  Paris and Nicole move forward with their still untitled, undeveloped, green lit new reality show, North West and Step Mom Bianca Censori grow closer and we have a real life Drew Barrymore run in. Last, but certainly not least, we break down Andy Cohen’s comments about the future of RHONJ, discuss the upcoming alternate reunion and chat about whether Teresa Giudice is really on the chopping block or will live to see another day.

RHONJ Season 14, Episode 12. The End Is Near. But First… Teresa calls her, for lack of a better word, lawyer to her house to take Marge to task.  Teresa is so excited for her big reveal that Marge has been talking to Louie’s ex, Dolores reveals that we already know this and that the vacay house burnt to the ground, Teresa invents new words, Danielle Cabral is amused, Aydin is acting clueless despite her recently exposed off line behavior with bloggers and last, but certainly not least, in her most epic move to date, Margaret sends Teresa funeral flowers for the loss of her dignity.  In other news, Andy Cohen has made very clear statements about the future of RHONJ. We break down those statements, clarify what he really meant and discuss who is going to have the hardest time adjusting to life after RHONJ a mere two weeks from now. All this and more with the one and only Andrea Lopez, as Teresa Giudice.

Love Hotel or whatever they ultimately plan to call it, Peacock has announced a new show with 4 of our favorite housewives looking for love - Luann, Gizelle, Shannon Beador and Ashley Darby.  As we dive deep into the premise and likelihood of success, we offer advice to Shannon, Gizelle and Ashley as they compete for the attention of a variety of gentleman suitors against the one and only Luann de Lesseps.  Larsa Pippen claims that RHOM is 100% definitely coming back. We break down that claim separating fact from fiction.  Drew Sidora claims Kenya Moore may return to RHOA, slams Shamea and prepares to go on the RHOA cast trip.  Scheana says Vanderpump Rules cannot go on with the current cast, calls for changes and we discuss what we think to be the inevitable return of Stassi.  Finally, Brandi Glanville blames Bravo for basically everything that has and is currently going wrong in her life.

Teresa Giudice seems to be coming to the realization, finally, that RHONJ as we know it is coming to an end. Bethenny Frankel is spotted oversees with a new man. With Kyle, Erika, Sutton and Garcelle all single, we discuss their availabilities and potential suitors to mingle as Dorit and PK grow farther apart and Mauricio grows closer to new love interest. Mary Cosby is rumored to be divorcing her grandfather, cameras are supposedly back up and Mary seems to be denying the whole thing.  Finally, Joe Giudice is set to fight Antonio Sabato, Jr. later this year as we seriously contemplate going. Road Trip anyone? All this and more.

Melissa’s Old Nose steps back Behind The Rope.  Gabriela, that is and yes, she is back. Teresa, Melissa, Jennifer Aydin and the rest of the cast of RHONJ continue to be asked about the RHONJ bloggers which have taken over and effected this season to reveal secret DMs, leaked screeners and spoilers that were allegedly obtained directly from Teresa, her attorney, Jennifer Aydin and more.

Gabriela reveals never before heard details on Tre and Louie, the few remaining episodes of this season, the alternate RHONJ reunion, why Teresa angered producers at the alternate reunion and much more. Finally, we discuss the upcoming RHONJ pause, Andy Cohen’s four possible ways to fix this toxic, broken franchise and denial of most cast members whose lives are about to drastically change in a few short weeks when this season of RHONJ quickly comes to an end.

The Real World Boston’s Syrus Yarbrough steps Behind The Rope.  Syrus tells us how he got cast on The Real World Boston as a result of a job interview gone horribly wrong. Being no stranger to the cameras, he was a semi-regular on Baywatch, yes we discuss Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff, Syrus said yes to the opportunity and soon found himself living in a converted firehouse in Boston with 7 strangers to find out what happens when they stopped being polite and started getting real. Real is exactly what Syrus got with roommates Genesis, Kameelah, Montana, Elka, Jason and Sean, which we discuss, as well as the status of those “friendships” today. Syrus discusses what filming was like with MTV back in the day when there were basically no other reality shows to compare it with and just how “real” The Real World MTV was.  When the show ended, Syrus ended up playing a huge part in the success of MTV’s “The Challenge” which he discusses, as well as what life was like, in general, after the show ended. We dive deep in to what it is like being in The Real World/The Challenge “family”, the good, the bad, the other. Being a fan of reality TV himself, Syrus enlightens us on what some of his favorite current shows are as well as his surprise ties to Bravo with several fellow Real World alumni. Last, but certainly not least, Syrus tells us about a run in at the MTV Video awards with not only JLO, but backstage with Queen Madonna.  Tune in for this blast from the past nostalgic trip down memory lane as we pay homage to the granddaddy of all reality shows, The Real World!

Teresa Giudice released a statement towards the end of last week urging the toxicity, attacks and hate of and from the on line RHONJ community to stop.  First, we analyze and break down Teresa’s statement line by line. Next, we discuss who really wrote this statement, the motivation behind the statement, the parts we deemed authentic - if any and the parts we deemed inauthentic - if any.  Then we discuss the public’s reaction to the statement, the effect, if any, the statement has had, Melissa Gorga’s response to the statement and Rachel Fuda’s response to the statement. Finally, we discuss the upcoming alternate reunion, how we really got to this toxic place on RHONJ, the very long, if not indefinite, upcoming pause and whose jobs we expect to be eliminated when this season quickly comes to a close in two weeks.

Ahead of tonight’s RHONJ episode, Melissa’s Old Nose jumps on here to discuss what we can expect from this evening’s second to last, possibly ever, RHONJ episode. Teresa’s shady lawyer, Margaret’s plan, bold moves by Jen Fessler. Melissa’s Old Nose breaks it all down with shocking reveals, scenes we may never see and more. We then discuss all the strange social media behavior from the RHONJ cast, the horror Bravo must be going through as a result and the very uncertain future of this once top rated franchise. We discuss it all!

With a stellar return to form season of RHOC, we are so here for it.  We discuss Peggy’s friends and past Orange Holders Gretchen Rossi, Heather Dubrow, Lydia McLaughlin, Lynn Curtin, Lauri Peterson and Lizzie Rovsek.

The woman behind THE most exciting moment, season, scene, development in Housewives History since, well, Teresa’s table flip over a decade ago.  Receipts, Proof, Timeline, Screenshots. We cover fu$king everything. Monica takes us through it all clarifying what were various still confusing timelines of how she went from fan to an actual bona fide breakout superstar Real Housewife on RHOSLC Season 4.  We talk about the true facts behind her current “cooling off” period, personal life, tumultuous relationship with her mom, upcoming RHOSLC Season 5, Dita Von Teese, rumors of a Lisa vs Whitney feud - again and where the once great, then not so great, then best season ever of Salt Lake goes next now that she is no longer part of the journey.  Finally, bringing it back to where it all started, we break down the Jen Shah of it all, what she would say to Jen - and RHOSLC cast - today, what she would like to have happen in five years when Ms. Shah is expected to be a free woman and much, much more!

RHONJ Episode 10, Season 14. Is everyone awake or have you fallen asleep with the rest of us? We break down this episode, Jennifer Aydin’s erratic WWHL appearance, the alternate reunion which was filmed this week and Andy’ Cohen’s comments that in 4 short weeks when the toxic season ends, big changes n the form of a reboot, recast and / or termination of the franchise are coming. We discuss the involvement of the RHONJ bloggers, Dolores and Margaret’s fake friendship and the cracks between Jennifer and Teresa. Over in Orange County, a brilliant second episode has dropped, Alexis and Shannon jockey for position at The Quiet Woman and remind us how great vintage style Housewife feuds can be, Heather Dubrow reminds us how rich Housewives can be and the TamRat continues to do what she does best… scurry in the corner looking for a piece of cheese. All this and more as Andrea Lopez chimes in as what some call the Queen of NJ, Teresa.

Love Island has just had its highest rated season ever. The Ariana effect is in full effect, no pun intended, as it is looking less and less likely that she will return to Vanderpump Rules. Lala shows a baby shower, Jax claims to have slept with both Ramona and Brandi Glanville, Rachel Leviss scores wins in court and the VPR pause remains in full effect as there is no discussion amongst Producers, Bravo or the fans about when and if this show will return. Bethenny Frankel continues her confusing summer in The Hamptons, reconnects again with Jill Zarin and finds herself in hot water, again, over recent comments, videos and social media posts which many call erratic. Finally, we spill the tea from the upcoming RHONJ alternate reunion and discuss who is likely to lose their job in a few short weeks when this season ends.

Kyle and Mauricio make moves, Dorit and PK remain apart and we share the news that, yes, RHOBH is expected to return to our Bravo TV’s later this year as opposed to the originally reported 2025. Hot off her disasterorus WWHL appearance this past week, Jennifer Aydin doubles down on her claims against Bloggers, triples down on her claims against Danielle Cabral and seems to be totally unaware that her job is most likely being taken away in a few short weeks when this season of RHONJ comes to a close. RHONJ prepares for a long pause, RHOC returns with a bang - of sorts - and Shannon Beador continues to face her DUI, Alexis and Johnny J head on, Is it too early to grant MVP RHOC status for the season? Press play.

Best known for his “To Catch a Predator” series, Chris stops by to chat about his newest endeavor, “Predator In Plain Sight: Exposing Tom Girardi”. “Predator In Plain Sight: Exposing Tom Girardi” is a new Podcast in which Chris, along with victim’s advocate and former Girardi Keese employee Kimberly Archie, breaks down the rise and fall of Tom Girardi as Tom prepares to face a jury in a few short weeks on August 6th. Chris discusses the predatory nature of Tom, upcoming trial, Erika Jayne, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the likelihood of a guilty verdict, likelihood Tom would ever see the inside of a jail, whether Erika would ever be charged and, if so, with what and the media frenzy a la RHOBH of it all.  We talk predators, Chris’ illustrious career and much, much more.  For those who want to check out the Pod, which BTVR was a part of, it can be found on Apple, Spotify or wherever Podcasts are found.

Monica Garcia steps Behind The Rope. Reality Von Tease is in the house! The woman behind THE most exciting moment, season, scene, development in Housewives History since, well, Teresa’s table flip over a decade ago.  Receipts, Proof, Timeline, Screenshots. We cover fu$king everything. Monica takes us through it all clarifying what were various still confusing timelines of how she went from fan to an actual bona fide breakout superstar Real Housewife on RHOSLC Season 4.  We talk about the true facts behind her current “cooling off” period, personal life, tumultuous relationship with her mom, upcoming RHOSLC Season 5, Dita Von Teese, rumors of a Lisa vs Whitney feud - again and where the once great, then not so great, then best season ever of Salt Lake goes next now that she is no longer part of the journey.  Finally, bringing it back to where it all started, we break down the Jen Shah of it all, what she would say to Jen - and RHOSLC cast - today, what she would like to have happen in five years when Ms. Shah is expected to be a free woman and much, much more!

RHOC has returned with a stellar episode, an Alexis vs Shannon smackdown months in the making and ratings that, unfortunately, are not great causing us to ask, “if the beginning of the end of Housewives” is really finally here. Finally, details are spilled on the alternate RHONJ reunion set to film tomorrow, the new RHONJ episode that drops in a few hours and Andy Cohen's four different plans for how RHONJ can proceed after a low rated, toxic AF season which we break down and discuss.

Alexis “Jesus Jugs” Bellino steps Behind The Rope. RHOC is back in our lives after a stellar return to form Season Premiere for Season 18.  The Season Premiere brought us many things, none the least of which was the long awaited return of Alexis Bellino.  We could think of no better blast from the RHOC past chat to share today than this gem chat with Alexis.  Back before Johnny J, before her return.  As you listen, ask yourself, does this seem like the same Alexis we see before us back on RHOC today?  Of course, we also chat current cast mates Tamra, Heather, Emily, Gina and Shannon as well as cast mates from the past, Gretchen, Vicki and more. We talk Jim Bellino, the infamous lawsuit which Shannon claims is the root of all of their current day problems and last, but certainly not least, the epic moniker thanks to Tamra of “Jesus Juggs”.

Siggy Flicker steps back Behind The Rope. Siggy is here to chat all about her time on RHONJ - the highs and lows, filming with a Teresa and Melissa that did not get along then, after she left or now and her once friend Dolores who she came on the show with.  Of course in typical Siggy fashion she does not hold back when discussing her epic fall out with Margaret Josephs, clarifies prior recent statements she has made about Marge and discusses all of the producer involvement, manipulation and favoritism she witnessed and experienced during her RHONJ run.  Speaking of Producers, we discuss the toxic nature of RHONJ, explain why people are so passionate and furious about Team Tre vs. Team Mel, how RHONJ has filmed an entire season with two main cast members who refuse to utter a word to each other and what the future could realistically look like. Buckle Up! Part II starts now.

We talk RHONJ pause, the effect of the blogger drama, the alternate to the cancelled RHONJ reunion and more. We discuss Bethenny Frankel’s, yes another, brand new Podcast, "Just B Dating”, her seemingly abandoned desire to take down Daddy Cohen and discuss the new face of the Reality Reckoning, Brandi Glanville. Finally, it is official. We announce our second ever Live Podcast on our “We Don’t Wanna Leave Our House Pajama Tour” for 7:30pm Thursday August 15th. Get your tickets while they last.

Dorit and PK spark reconciliation rumors based on social media deleted posts, a sober PK and a Kyle and Dorit feud that seems to only be getting worse by the day. RHOBH continues to film as Erika Jayne prepares for Tom’s trial which is set to begin August 6th. Finally, Vicki Gunvalson has decided to enter the Podcast game and, well, the news is mixed. We break down her latest endeavor and offer our unsolicited advice to the OG of the OC which we are sure she will greatly appreciate. Not.

It is that time of the month again. Melissa Rivers stops by for our regular monthly cross over to mention it all. First, we break down this season of RHONJ and, looking ahead, discuss who will most likely lose their jobs and not return for Season 15. Pay attention pah-lease. Next, Bravo stands by Andy, we all celebrate the fifteen anniversary of WWHL and Bravo lawsuits continue to move alone and arise as rumors of Kenya Moore suing surface.  The new season of Below Deck Med has arrived, Justin Timberlake continues to make headlines over a now weeks old Hamptons DUI, Jennifer and Ben continue to send mixed messages while getting stalked by the paparazzi, nepo babies are slammed yet again due to Kim Kardashian and Kevin Costner, Kylie Jenner is very hurt, Bethenny continues to rebrand and Mellisa’s family has an unexpected run in with Taylor Swift.

Kenya Moore has been fired. Miss Moore is done with the twirl and has left the building. We break down how this happened, dive deep beneath the rumored “investigation” Production and Bravo conducted and discuss the finding that Kenya has violated the code of conduct leading to her termination. We discuss the likelihood Kenya will ever be back on Bravo, Peacock, E! or any other NBC affiliates. We chat about the double standard world in which Jennifer Aydin has a job after committing assault - the definition of putting your hands on another - and Kenya does not.  We break down the claim that Kenya is going to file a lawsuit and the claims that lawsuit is likely to include. We discuss the upcoming season of RHOA, what Production plans to do with Kenya’s already filmed scenes and if we, the viewer, are likely to ever see this play out on TV. Finally, we discuss Kenya’s support from Kandi, Brandi Glanville and you, the fans, many of whom have been picketing outside NBC at 30 Rock to “Free Kenya Moore”.

One of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey's Executive Producers from the early days, Dorothy Toran, steps Behind The Rope. Dorothy was there when Teresa got out of jail. Dorothy was there when Juicy was deported.  The more things change, the more they stay the same. , We talk Teresa, Melissa, Jacqueline, Caroline Manzo and much more.   You know how there were rumors that Margaret was close to certain Producers, allegedly, well…. So much of this chat foreshadows where we are today with a mess of a season, the toxicity worse than ever and an RHONJ Season 14 cast that is about to be disassembled in a few short weeks. On that note, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Dorothy Toran

RHONJ Season 14, Episode 8. The physical altercation between Danielle Cabral and Jennifer Aydin has finally arrived. We break down the hair drama and other facts that led up to the altercation, break down a play by play and discuss who we think is to blame for this mess of a Troubled Tulum party.  We discuss Tre’s claims that she is using Jackie to take down Marge, Rachel Fuda’s claims that Jackie is the laughing stock of Bravo, Dolores’ savage breakup with Jackie and Margaret enjoying it all just a little too much. We discuss the seemingly double standard as Jen and Danielle returned to work after suspension but Kenya Moore is not allowed to return to RHOA.  Finally, we discuss an RHONJ without Melissa and Joe, Melissa’s claims of wanting to make up with Kathy Wakile, real life fall outs with Jennifer Aydin and Margaret Josephs and much much more as we are joined by the one and only Andrea Lopez as Teresa Giudice!

“Making It In Manhattan” is currently filming featuring the off spring of many of our fav Real Housewives - Brooks Marks, Riley Burruss, Gia Giudice, Ariana Biermann and more. We break down the full cast, what to expect, and likelihood this show will be a hit when it premieres later this year.  In other news, Kenya Moore is not coming back to RHOA and, after this past week’s RHONJ where Danielle Cabral and Jennifer Aydin still have jobs, for the moment, we start to question the seemingly double standard at Bravo.  Bethenny Frankel has “Danger In The Dorm”, Kyle Richards claps back at trolls, Potomac continues to film and we all prepare for a, hopefully, great season of RHOC.

Kevin Lee steps Behind The Rope. Beverly Hills Shi Shi Shi!!!! The Man, the Myth, the Legend, the Icon. Never has a guest star on Housewives made such a splash with one sentence which became the tag line of his life with countless fans stopping him daily around the world to utter those three words, “shi, shi, shi”.  Kevin talks about how, although life changed as a result of his RHOBH appearance, he has had a successful wedding and event planning biz for a long time prior. Kevin talks celeb clients - Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Tom Cruise, Drew Barrymore, Oprah!, The Kardashians, working with billionaires who have no budget, wedding do’s and don’ts, his special Kevin Lee flair and having the character Franck Eggelhoffer from Father of the Bride based on him.  Of course, Kevin talks lifelong client and friend Lisa Vanderpump, throwing Pandora’s wedding, planning Kyle Richards SoFi stadium “White Party" featured last season on RHOBH, the fall out between Kyle and LVP, Kyle and Mauricio, what Lisa Vanderpump told him about returning to RHOBH and much more.  Of course, we also address that time he “fat shamed” Katie Maloney on Vanderpump Rules and the world came for him.  Kevin mentions it all in this epic, iconic chat which had us smiling from ear to ear!
