    The Real World New York's Andre Comeau (On The Real World, Real Housewives, Bravo, MTV & Being a Reality TV OG)

    This is the true story…of seven strangers…picked to live in a house…(work together) and have their lives taped…to find out what happens…when people stop being polite…and start getting real… On that note, Andre Comeau from the original grandaddy of them all, The Real World: New York, steps Behind The Rope. THE show that changed, introduced, formed and revolutionized Reality TV. With no predecessor to look to, we discuss how this makes the Real World, New York, Season One possibly the most authentic reality TV show ever. With so many new Bravo shows being announced, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat about the show that started it all. On that note, we talk about how life suddenly changed once the show aired and became a multigenerational blockbuster of supreme magnitude. We discuss his house mates Eric, Julie, Norman, Heather, Kevin, and Becky and the groundbreaking issues they dealt with way ahead of “their time” such as racism, sexuality, The AIDS crisis and more. Finally, we talk about the current state of Reality TV - Real Housewives, Bravo, The Bachelor and oh, so very much more. @andrecomeaumusic @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: CARAWAY HOME - Carawayhome.com/VELVET (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) ONESKIN- oneskin.co (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off The Skin Care Which Targets The Root Causes Of Aging)  QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

    Bravo Sued Again, Kyle's Sad Message About & To Mauricio & RHOP Cast's New Message For Karen Huger

    From Karen Huger’s last words to Ray in the courtroom as she was escorted to jail to her cast mates - Gizelle, Wendy, Ashley and more - speaking out on the sentencing, Karen Huger has had quite a past two weeks. RHOP has a slot open and seems to be wasting no time in discussing the necessary cast changes to move forward with this franchise. Is anyone shocked the show is moving forward and not waiting for The Grand Dame the way they did Ms. Giudice across the river over there in the dirty jerz? Bravo get sued again by former “employees”, Kyle and Mauricio prepare for their looming unavoidable divorce and Dorit causes more drama with RHOBH cast members this week than even before.

    Karen Huger’s New Normal in Jail, Sutton Stracke The Savage, RHONY OG’s Return & RHOP's New Cast

    Karen Huger has been sentenced to two years, one of which she will serve in jail, in her DUI case. After the sentence and calling out to Ray in the courtroom, she was immediately taken to Montgomery County Jail. But what now? We discuss how Karen got here, what she has or has not learned, so far, from this conviction and sentencing, what she will learn in jail and whether Bravo will welcome her with open arms or turn their back on her once she is done with her sentence two long years from now. Sutton Stracke doubles down on her fat wallet comment to Dorit. Erika Jayne continues to doll out sage advice. Mia Thornton continues her half truths even post reunion. Last, but not least, Summer House and Southern Hospitality continue to dominate Bravo ratings as Housewife fatigue for the audience does not seem to be ending anytime soon. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) CARAWAY HOME - Carawayhome.com/VELVET (10% Off Non-Toxic Cookware Made Modern) STRAWBERRY - Strawberry.me/VELVET (Get 20% Off Your First Month & Take Charge Of Your Future With The Help Of a Certified Coach) MEANINGFUL BEAUTY - meaningfulbeauty.com/velvet (Get 25% Off Cindy Crawford’s Beauty Line & The Targeted Treatment Duo GIFT SET for FREE) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

    Summer House and Southern Hospitality are bringing it for Bravo with huge ratings over one million per episode, season highs and drama that has us all glued to out TVs.

Denise Richards has a new reality show, The Baldwins have a new reality show and the future of RHONY remains as uncertain as RHONJ but no one seems to care.
