The RHOBH Dinner Party From Hell.  Part Two. LOL.

We break it all down for you plus chat the return of RHONJ for Season Fourteen, Jen Fessler’s hospitalization, Alexis Bellino and John Janssen’s newfound “love” as Vicki Gunvalson slams them, RHOM recap and more.

RHOC. So many casting changes and news, so little time. As Andy Cohen pretends that Taylor Armstrong resigned from Orange County Housewives all on her own, rumors continue to swirl that Gina, Emily, Jennifer, Shannon, Heather and Tamra are all back as Vicki and Alexis are likely in when this OG franchise resumes filming early 2024 for its unprecedented eighteenth season. Wow. We feel old. Now that Alexis has been seen out with John Janssen multiple times, Emily weighs in on what Alexis joining the cast would mean for Shannon and whether Vicki will hold firm at her prior claims that she will only return for her rumored $1 million dollar salary and nothing less. Moving on, there is so much wrong with this season of RHOP, RHOA is in desperate need of fixing and we have a few suggestions for the powers that be, Bethenny Frankel hired Rachel Leviss as she continues to confuse us about Nene Leakes and last, but certainly not least, we extend our sincere thanks to Kim Zolciak for our very own viral moment thanks to her newfound low. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AURAFRAMES - auraframes.com ($30 Off Their Best Selling Frames With Code VELVET) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off Sitewide Entire Order This Month Only on The Best Shapewear & Bras) VESSI FOOTWEAR - vessi.com/VELVET (Get 15% Off the Most Comfortable, Most Stylist Waterproof Footwear Ever) G ADVENTURES - gadventures.com/geluxe ($15 Off w/ Code Velvet on The Best Product To Enhance Your Wellness Journey) RELIEFBAND - reliefband.com (Reliefband’s “Twelve Days of Relief” Sale Is Happening Now.

Kathy Hilton had an epic Holiday Party which has got everyone in town talking thanks to one Miss Teddi Mellencamp. Heather Gay will never film again with Monica Garcia who Mary Cosby says we all need to pray for. Kim and Kathy both have new messages for sister Kyle who seems madly in love these days - but with whom? Annmarie Wiley may have already lost her RHOBH gig before passing go. Finally, we have a new shade assassin in town otherwise known as Shady Sutton “The Savage” Stracke.

Vicky Vox steps back Behind The Rope. She barely made it, just in from Kelly Osborne’s Birthday Party and all. A little hungover, it is ok we do not judge, Vicky is here to Spill The Tea on just what went down at Miss O’s big shin dig. Well, what she can remember of it, that is, after all of those whiskeys. One guest she does remember well? Dorothy Wang of famed E Reality Show, Rich Kids of Beverly Hills. Vicky even read Dorothy’s cards. Do tell. Vicky does. Vicky also tells us about how she became friends with Kelly Osbourne way back when while working in Drag at a Los Angeles club and what it is like to hang out with Kelly and the rest of the Osbourne family Ozzy, Sharon and Jack. It was at this same LA Club that Vicky has stories about Miley Cyrus, Leo DiCaprio, and Eddie Murphy, all of whom were in regular attendance. Eventually Vicky got fired from this famed club thanks to Evan Ross. Oh Evan! Of course, we also had to ask about that one time she appeared on the short lived “My Kitchen Rules” show with Kelly Osbourne and Brandi Glanville and, let us just say, things did not exactly go smoothly. Would you expect anything less from Miss Brandi Glanville? Wait, weren’t we supposed to talk to Vicky about Drag and her stellar "Doing Great" Podcast? Ok that will have to wait for another time. We figured this holiday weekend was the perfect time to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Vicky Vox.

As Teresa is named one of the forty most powerful women in Reality TV, we break down all that has happen this week in RHONJ land - the fact that we will see more of Gia next season, Danielle Cabral’s latest revelation, whether Gia will ever be a full time housewife and when we can expect RHONJ back on our TVs. Moving on, we discuss the fall out of Bethenny Frankel and Nene Leakes, Andy’s involvement in this fallout, Nene and Bravo re-following each other on social and the true, real likelihood that Nene could return to RHOA as a peach holder next season as rumors of a reboot, Sanya and Drew terminations and other cast shakeup tabloid fodder surface and resurface all week. Next, we share some newly surfaced tea from BravoCon and it is scolding hawt. Finally, we recap RHOP, RHOM and discuss all that is RHOBH - “name ‘em”, a humbled EJ, make ups and break ups, Dorit’s PTSD and the return of the one and only Denise F’ing Richards. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

Ryan Cabrera steps Behind The Rope. Ryan was discovered by Jessica and Ashlee Simpson’s Dad, Joe Simpson, while playing an acoustic show in Dallas. Two days later he was living in Los Angeles in the Simpson Household. With a room next to Ashlee’s, the two became fast and good friends, a friendship that later blossomed into a romance after Ashlee appeared in his video. That romance was documented, in part, on the hit MTV Reality show, "The Ashlee Simpson Show". Ryan discusses what it was like to film that show with Ashlee, how it helped catapult him into the public eye, and the effect that had on his music sales. Speaking of hit MTV Reality Shows, we discuss friend Jessica Simpson’s Reality Show with then husband Nick Lachey, “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica” - the fact that at the time it was one of THE biggest reality shows ever to date, how “real” the show was, Jessica’s Viral “Chicken of The Sea Moment”, and Nick and Jessica’s relationship. Ryan also opens up about Jessica’s Billion Dollar Empire, the misperception of her as a “Dumb Blond”, and some of the many revelations in her earlier this year released Autobiography “Open Book”. Ryan also chats with us about then Girlfriend Ashlee Simpson’s viral SNL appearance, how that almost side railed the trajectory of her career, and what Ashlee really thought about the fallout from that fateful night. Having moved on to Audrina Patridge, we talk about that on-again, off-again relationship and what it was like to be back on Reality TV as the result of a relationship, this time on the super hit “The Hills” and many years later during an on-again phase, “The Hills: New Beginnings”. Then, of course, there was Avril Lavigne. All’s well that ends well, Ryan chats now wife WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss. We figured today to be the perfect day to share this chat with the one and only Ryan Cabrera. @ryancabrera @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AURAFRAMES - auraframes.com ($40 Off Their Best Selling Carver Mat With Code VELVET Now Through Black Friday and Cyber Monday) VESSI FOOTWEAR - vessi.com/VELVET (Get 15% Off the Most Comfortable, Most Stylist Waterproof Footwear Ever) AIRDOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VELVET23 To Save Up To $350 Off Purifiers, 20% Off Filters and Get A Free 3 Year Extended Warranty on Any Purifier In Your Cart) AQUATRU- aquatrue.com (Use Code VELVET25 For a Massive 25% Off During This Limited Time Black Friday Sale Plus a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee on The Best Water Purifier Around) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (50% Off Entire Order This Month Only on The Best Shapewear & Bras) UNCOMMON GOODS - uncommon goods.com/VELVET (15% Off This Holiday Season The Most Remarkable & Unique Gifts For Everyone On Your List) WATERBOY- waterboy.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off For the Best Hangover Cure That Is Scientifically Formulated To Cut Your Hangover Time In Half) BUBLY - bubly.com (Crack a Smile with The Best Sparkling Water - No Calories, No Sweeteners.

Christi Lukasiak steps Behind The Rope. We figured this blast from the past was a perfect chat for Thanksgiving Day (you didn’t think we would take a day off, did you?). First off, Christi fills us in on all that she has been up to see we last saw her on our TV screens on Dance Moms. Christi talks daughter Chloe, working with Abby Lee Miller and spills the tea on what the Dance Mons Reality TV experience was really like both on and off air. We talk about why the term "stage mom" has such negative connotations and the perceived notions of that phrase versus the reality of the term. Christi opens up about the difficulties of balancing being an actual mom versus running your child's career, and how those goals often do not meet. Christi explains how her and Chloe were originally cast, how competitive it was to get cast, how she “knew” her and Chloe were gonna get the job and how she kinda just felt this show may be a huge hit. We discuss how she felt when she first saw the show and the differences between how she was edited and what she remembered during filming. We also talk about those famous Dance Mom’s fans that Christi and Chloe have met throughout the years - Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid, Jennifer Lawrence, Kristin Chenoweth and Millie Bobby Brown. On a more serious note, we talk about her decision to leave the show, how and why, how the show "changed" the entire cast - for better or worse, the positives and negatives of fame, and her decision to return. @christilukasiak @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AIRDOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VELVET23 To Save Up To $350 Off Purifiers, 20% Off Filters and Get A Free 3 Year Extended Warranty on Any Purifier In Your Cart) AQUATRU- aquatrue.com (Use Code VELVET25 For a Massive 25% Off During This Limited Time Black Friday Sale Plus a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee on The Best Water Purifier Around) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (50% Off Entire Order This Month Only on The Best Shapewear & Bras) UNCOMMON GOODS - uncommon goods.com/VELVET (15% Off This Holiday Season The Most Remarkable & Unique Gifts For Everyone On Your List) VESSI FOOTWEAR - vessi.com/VELVET (Get 15% Off the Most Comfortable, Most Stylist Waterproof Footwear Ever) WATERBOY- waterboy.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off For the Best Hangover Cure That Is Scientifically Formulated To Cut Your Hangover Time In Half) BUBLY - bubly.com (Crack a Smile with The Best Sparkling Water - No Calories, No Sweeteners.

Brooks Marks steps back Behind The Rope. With RHOSLC back in our lives for a stellar Season, we thought it time to share this never before aired blast from the past chat with Brooks Marks. Brooks is here to chat about his experience as one of the Real Housewives’ Kids from his break out Season One status to the past few years on RHOSLC. We talk mom Meredith, Jen Shah’s guilt and much more as this epic return to stellar form of RHOSLC Season Four continues on. Finally, we talk about why the world is so obsessed with labeling one’s sexuality, Meredith’s allyship to the community and, of course, tracksuits. @brooksmarks @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WATERBOY- waterboy.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off For the Best Hangover Cure That Is Scientifically Formulated To Cut Your Hangover Time In Half) VESSI FOOTWEAR - vessi.com/VELVET (Get 15% Off the Most Comfortable, Most Stylist Waterproof Footwear Ever) AIRDOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VELVET23 To Save Up To $350 Off Purifiers, 20% Off Filters and Get A Free 3 Year Extended Warranty on Any Purifier In Your Cart) AQUATRU- aquatrue.com (Use Code VELVET25 For a Massive 25% Off During This Limited Time Black Friday Sale Plus a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee on The Best Water Purifier Around) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (50% Off Entire Order This Month Only on The Best Shapewear & Bras) UNCOMMON GOODS - uncommon goods.com/VELVET (15% Off This Holiday Season The Most Remarkable & Unique Gifts For Everyone On Your List) BUBLY - bubly.com (Crack a Smile with The Best Sparkling Water - No Calories, No Sweeteners.

Christopher Atkins steps Behind The Rope. Christopher is here to chat about the full anthology of his career none the least of which was his breakout role in the classic 1980 film Blue Lagoon. Christopher talks about how he got this iconic role with no acting experience or no desire to act, what working on a desolate island in Fiji was like, meeting Brooke Shields for the first time, pressure from Producers to “fall in love” with Brooke and the media’s and public’s reaction - good and bad - once the film came out. We break down life immediately after when he went from a relative unknown to world wide super stardom, the “slow years” thereafter in the business trying to secure work, an unprecedented move to “do TV” in the juggernaut Dallas and his eventual decision to stop chasing the work and become a full time Dad. We talk addiction, recovery, the fleeting highs and lows of fame, pitfalls of the business and where it is today. Finally, Christopher talks current projects, the concept of a Blue Lagoon remake, actors he would love to work with and one epic plan to star opposite Brooke Shields in a brilliant concept he has developed. As we like to say, Christopher mentions it all! @christopheratkins1 @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: BUBLY - bubly.com (Crack a Smile with The Best Sparkling Water - No Calories, No Sweeteners.
