Trista Sutter, THE Original Bachelorette, Steps Behind The Rope.  Trista recalls what it was like when she applied to a not yet known TV show that promised the possibility of meeting the love of your life.  How likely is it for someone to find love on TV? With little known Reality TV to compare it to (The Real World and Survivor were two of the only successful Reality Shows around at the time), Trista had no idea what to expect when she was cast and filmed Season One of The Bachelor. Trista explained what it felt like to be the Runner Up and subsequently, very soon thereafter, be given her own show, the uber successful Bachelorette. Trista chats about what it was, and is, like to find real love on National TV and the whirlwind that came after the Bachelorette finale - Oprah, Ellen, runs in with the likes of Elton John and Debra Messing. Oh yea, there was also that other first, being on the first ever season of Dancing With the Stars.  We discuss just how much the show has changed since its more innocent days to involve tons more over the top drama and sex.  With the recent announcement of Jenn Tran as the new Bachelorette, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat. @tristasutter @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: PROLON - prolonlife.com/VELVET (Get 10% Off Their Five Day Nutrition Program) HOMECHEF -  HomeChef.com/VelvetRope (18 Free Meals, Pus Free Shipping On Your First Box) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off On The Best Shapewear & Bras On The Market) CHIME - chime.com/VELVET (Take more control of your finances and say goodbye to monthly fees. Open a Chime Checking Account)  INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  LÉGAL HOT SAUCE - legalhotsauce (20% Off w/ Code Velvet on The Best Hot Sauce There Is) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact [email protected] MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

Bravocon 2024 has been cancelled.  Why would one of Bravo’s most successful components be cancelled? We answer this question in light of decreased Housewife ratings, multiple lawsuits, Housewife city delays a la RHONJ, Dubai and RHONY, an RHOM several month - at best, for now - pause, lack of an RHOA cast even with Porsha returning, Teresa and Melissa unsustainably - to use Andy’s word - not speaking to each other at all, an RHOP season which has concluded with a beyond fractured cast and much, much more. Denial is the ultimate comfort zone but today is the day we invite you all to Step Behind The Rope and face many uncomfortable and difficult possible truths and outcomes that we all have been trying to avoid. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Full Episode: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.
