BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

Our much beloved "Annual Year End Best Housewives” has returned to count down the Top Ten Best Housewives of 2025. We explain why each of our choices made the list and count down from ten to one with some current hot tea thrown in. Are you going to be as shocked as we were that some of these unpopular opinion ladies made the list while many fan favs were left off? Of course there is double the trouble as our reg weekly co-host joins us to share her Top Ten List also as we fight it out to see who will take the top coveted spot from Housewives past and present. Dolores Catania, Teresa Giudice, Nene Leakes, Melissa Gorga, Meredith Marks, Gizelle Bryant, Lisa Barlow, Bethenny Frankel… Which of these ladies have made it to our “Best Of” list? Only one way to find out.

Nikki Blonsky steps Behind The Rope.  Nikki chats with us about what it was like to land the breakout role of Tracy Turnblad in the film version of the iconic Hairspray.  We chat about all the details from the audition process, to the mind of John Waters to how life changed after the film came out and made her a household name. Of course, we chat about some of Nikki’s Hairspray co-stars such as Amanda Bynes, Zac Efron, Michelle Pfeiffer, John Travolta and Queen Latifah. We also chat about some of the original film’s stars such as Debbie Harry, Ricki Lake & Divine. On a more serious note, we discuss the pressures of being type cast in Hollywood, how Nikki found it hard to find work after Hairspray, the pitfalls of fame and the best and worst parts about “the business”. Nikki was also on two of our fav shows, Ugly Betty and Smash. Finally, Nikki talks dating and just how Zac Efron seems to work his way into every date she has. @nikkiblonsky @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MICROPERFUMES - microperfumes.com/velvet (Up To 60% Your Favorite Perfumes In Pocket Sized Vials) HOMESERVE - homeserve.com (Home Owners Insurance That Start At Just $4.99 a Month) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.

After watching this week’s RHOP, one thing has become very clear. RHOP footage is expected to be center stage as evidence used against Miss Wendy Osefo in her fraud case. We break down this week’s episode with one very angry Mama Osefo, Ashley and Charrisse’s son Jackson get physical, Angel is outed and evicted and, as usual, Stacey keeps it light, bright and classy. In other news, Vicki warns her RHOC cast mates, calls RHOC stupid, shades Heather Dubrow and Slade and last, but not least, defends Katie Ginella. Tommy & MJ reach a custody agreement. Dorit shocks everyone with her cluelessness, especially Amanda Frances. Bronwyn starts over. Finally, Kyle explains exactly why she broke up with Morgan Wade. Way to bury the lead. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Katie Ginella’s plan to return to the OC is in full effect. RHOBH is having a season but fans still seem to have a lot of issues with Kyle as her and Dorit are heading towards blows. Erika tries to start over again. Joey Gorga refuses to do one major thing with Teresa and Luis. Last, but not least, we uncover the real reasons RHONJ is still on pause.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: MICROPERFUMES - microperfumes.com/velvet (Up To 60% Your Favorite Perfumes In Pocket Sized Vials) QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns To As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) MOMENTOUS - livemomentous.com (Use Code VELVET For 35% Off Your First Order on Creatine, Protein, Omega-3 Or Any Momentous Products) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) 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.
