Selling Sunset’s Amanda Lynn (on Season 8, Castmates, Cancelled Reunion, Chrishell’s Ultimatum & RHOBH)

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.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.

Selling Sunset’s Amanda Lynn that is.  The woman at the center of much of the drama of Selling Sunset Season 8 is here to break it all down.  Amanda discusses the truth about how she got involved with this season, the lunch with Bre where she reveals the information about Chelsea’s husband that set in motion much of the season’s events and her current relationship with Bre after the many ups and downs of the past several months. Amanda chats real estate porn, her new 70M listing, other cast mates Mary, Chrishell, Chelsea and Emma, the other season long drama created by Nicole Young, her past tweets and those other real estate shows Owning Manhattan and MDLLA.  Ending on a cliffhanger, Amanda talks about her potential future on Selling Sunset, whether Chrishell will return despite her claims she will never work with Nicole again and whether the cancelled reunion will have bigger implications for the future cast of the show the way it did for RHONY and RHONJ.  Speaking of Real Housewives, we chat RHOBH, Erika Jayne, Heather Dubrow and last, but certainly not least, Dolores Catania. @amandalynnestates @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  JLO BEAUTY - jlobeauty.com/VELVET (Get 4 Free Masks and Free Shipping on Jennifer Lopez Beauty Products!!)

Psychic Robbin steps Behind The Rope. Psychic Robbin is here to help us make sense of all that is happening in the BravoSphere. Psychic Robbin delves into this current season of RHOC, the fallout of Tamra’s friendship with Shannon, the fallout of Vicki’s friendship with Tamra, Alexis’ new friendship with Tamra, Fun Lexi & Johnny J’s engagement and much more. Robbin tells us all that she sees regarding the rest of the season and for each of their friendships explaining which friendships can be mended, which will be mended and which are just gone and broken forever. Next Psychic Robbin heads east to The Garden State to help us make sense of the RHONJ pause. Robbin discusses Teresa - what she sees in terms of her future on the show, whether she will be back next season, whether Melissa will be back next season, whether Teresa will ever reconcile with Melissa and Joe and so on and so forth. Robbin also breaks down the marriage between Tre and Louie - whether they will last forever as soul mates or are ultimately headed for divorce, whether Louie is as shady as many of the fans think or whether all the on line tabloid fodder is totally overhyped and whether this is true love with pure intentions or if Louie has ulterior motives. Psychic Robbin holds nothing back revealing harsh truths, tough love and what she sees for the future for Teresa, Louie, Tamra, Shannon, Melissa, Alexis and many more of our favorite housewives coast to coast.

Elizabeth Vargas steps 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! @elizabethlynvargas @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY:  JLO BEAUTY - jlobeauty.com/VELVET (Get 4 Free Masks and Free Shipping on Jennifer Lopez Beauty Products!!)

Kelly Dodd has come out this past week and claimed that Tamra Judge is the biggest bully and that although she can dish it out, she cannot take it? Say whaaat? We clap back on behalf of TamRat reminding Kelly that she herself is the biggest bully and that she definitely cannot take it after dishing it out.   Oh, Miss Dodd. You are so silly. Speaking of Miss Judge, Tamra has a warning about the upcoming reunion for her castmates, fans and viewers and doubles down on the claim that she did nothing wrong this epic RHOC season.  Heather Dubrow speaks out on John and Alexis, Alexis issues a shocking statement to and for viewers and we break it all down, make sense of it all and look ahead to the rest of this RHOC season as Andy Cohen gets ready to tape the reunion bringing to light all the unanswered questions of this RHOC season. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices.

Braunwyn Windham Burke steps back Behind The Rope. Braunwyn is here to chat about her experience before, during and after her two season run on the OG of them all, The Real Housewives of Orange County. Braunwyn breaks down the highs and lows of her time on RHOC and all that she faced during this time in the public eye - coming out as gay, revealing she is an alcoholic and showing what society still considers an “unconventional” marriage. Braunwyn holds nothing back in sharing the status of her sobriety, her relationships and everything else she has going on since leaving the show. Of course, we also break down just why the public did not believe her truth, the masses that cried “fake” storylines, what really went on behind the scenes with Production and filming and how and why she thinks Bravo could have handled it all much differently. Finally we chat cast mates such as Vicki, Tamra, Shannon & Heather Dubrow and much more. All this and we are only getting started as today we deemed the perfect day to share this blast from the past Part II chat with the one and only Braunwyn.  @braunwynwindhamburke @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TASKRABBIT - taskrabbit.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off Any Tasker For Any Task) ROSETTA STONE - rosettastone.com/today (50% Off Unlimited Access to 25 Language Courses For The Rest of Your Life) GOBBLE gobble.com/velvet (Use Code Velvet For $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies on Gobble’s Lean and Clean Dinner Subscription) WOOGA (Download June’s Journey Now on your iOS or Android Device) INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Jobs More Visibility)  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.
