    MONICA GARCIA (on Reality Von Tease, Cast Mates, Jen Shah & Life After RHOSLC) II

    MONICA GARCIA (on Reality Von Tease, Cast Mates, Jen Shah & Life After RHOSLC) II

    Monica Garcia steps back 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! Part II starts now.

    Tom Sandoval Withdraws Ariana Lawsuit, Mauricio's New Girlfriend Revealed, Kyle Removes "Wife" & Melissa Disses Kathy Wakile

    Tom Sandoval Withdraws Ariana Lawsuit, Mauricio's New Girlfriend Revealed, Kyle Removes "Wife" & Melissa Disses Kathy Wakile

    Tom Sandoval sued Ariana Madix. The public, cast and everyone else destroyed Sandoval for his move. Sandoval withdrew the lawsuit. We break all of this down, sharing our thoughts on each move and where this mess stands now. Melissa Gorga is upset that Kathy Wakile shaded her on WWHL and explains her new thoughts and feelings on The Wakiles, RHONJ and this very toxic of seasons. New rumors about Ramona Singer have surfaced, Shannon Beador shades Nene Leakes and opens up about her DUI. Mauricio kissed a new woman who we know now is a model and influencer, Kyle removed “wife” from her IG bio and attended Morgan Wade’s most recent concert. Finally, Aurora Culpo slams Bethenny Frankel and shares a message for her, Paul and the world.

    Jennifer Aydin Slams Teresa, Margaret & Dolores’ Fake Friendship, Teresa’s Denial & RHOC Recap

    Jennifer Aydin Slams Teresa, Margaret & Dolores’ Fake Friendship, Teresa’s Denial & RHOC Recap

    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.

    Ariana’s VPR Future, Brandi Glanville Slams Jax, Rachel Leviss’ Court Win & Bethenny’s Erratic Hamptons Summer

    Ariana’s VPR Future, Brandi Glanville Slams Jax, Rachel Leviss’ Court Win & Bethenny’s Erratic Hamptons Summer

    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.

Good Reality TV updates

I found this podcast when trying to find another place to get recaps and updates on Real Housewives shows. I like the humor and how they title their shows so I can download specific topics discussed. They get one less star in how David incorporates ads and commercials. The ads/endorsements where David is reading the script runs into the actual content. There is no warning or anything that the next statement is about an ad. It feels disjointed and is distracting from the content.

Such fun podcast

I love this podcast. I think because David Yontef is such a straight shooter and so am I. Of course I love when he has Sarah on. Also Melissa Rivers is gold. If you love Bravo this is the podcast for you. His Patreon is so worth it.

RHOC!

So glad you will be covering as this season looks amazing and your pod is the only one I trust to get it right. Thank you. Excited. Cannot wait.
