<p>With Below Deck Mediterranean back on the air, it is definitely time to check in with the one and only Anastasia Surmava.&nbsp;Connecting all the way from Sri Lanka, Anastasia took time off from running her Yoga Studio &amp; Cafe to chat with the Rope.&nbsp;We last saw Anastasia on the high seas, doing double duty as Third Stew and Chef. For all of those wondering, she has been putting her chef skills to good use during quarantine with her fabulous IG videos.&nbsp;That and spending time with her boyfriend. Anastasia opens up about the on line bullying she received after her time on Below Deck Med and the double standard of being a strong female presence as a Below Deck&nbsp;“Chef“.&nbsp;Of course, no below deck convo would be complete without a full on discussion of Kate Chastain, The Captains Lee and Sandy and the newest franchise, Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Ships Ahoy!!</p><br><p>@nastiasurmava</p><br><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><br><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<blockquote>After the week we have had in the BravoVerse, thank you Vanderpump Rules, isn’t it time for a little light hearted fun?&nbsp;Perhaps some light hearted fun with a martini?&nbsp;Or two? Hells F’ing Yes!!! We welcome The One. The Only.&nbsp;Martini Mike (Michael Byrne) Behind The Rope. Hello People. Martini Mike from #RHONY. He has a freakin' Meme.&nbsp;Extending his 15 minutes, he is here to clarify and answer a&nbsp;few key questions for The Rope. Who are his favorite housewives? Who does he think are the best styled housewives?&nbsp;What day of the week did the infamous #RHONY episode film?&nbsp;What time did he get to the Cooke House that fateful evening?&nbsp;Who was he with?&nbsp;What was the name of the bartender serving him his drinks?&nbsp;Did he eat anything and, if so, what?&nbsp;What is Tinsley’ fav seat in the restaurant (hint it isn’t where the group was sitting that night), what is his drink of choice - ok we KNOW it's a martini - but gin or vodka, what kind and what garnish?&nbsp;Are his friends jealous of his&nbsp;“moment”?&nbsp;Did he get pics with the #RHONY cast?&nbsp;Was Luann drinking? How did he know who Leah and&nbsp;Elyse were?&nbsp;What are his plans in life now?&nbsp;Which #RHONY cast&nbsp;members DM’d&nbsp;him after the&nbsp;episode&nbsp;aired and which blew him off (the answers are NOT at all what you would expect)? And most&nbsp;important, just how many Martinis did he have that night?</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>@michaelbyrne</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>@behindvelvetrope</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>@davidyontef</blockquote><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<blockquote>Vanderpump Rule’s newcomer, Charli Burnett, steps Behind The Rope.&nbsp;And what a week it has already been for the Vanderpump Rules cast.&nbsp;Starting out lightly, Charli explains&nbsp;which came first, her real life job as a server at SUR or a much coveted role as one of the “newbies” this season on Vanderpump Rules.&nbsp;&nbsp;She explains which was more difficult - getting used to working at SUR or the presence of cameras while doing so.&nbsp;When she had difficult times during her freshman year of filming, because of a variety of factors (don’t worry you will find out), she turned to the one person all of us would love to turn to for advice, Lisa Vanderpump.&nbsp;Lucky Girl.&nbsp;Ok, enough of that.&nbsp;In yet another case of Vander foreshadowing, prior to yesterday’s terminations of Stassi and Kristen Doute, we discuss Charli’s relations with the OG cast, or lack thereof.&nbsp;Charli then wastes no time in explaining&nbsp;how the OG cast treated her, both on and off&nbsp;camera, and just how&nbsp;“welcoming” (Not) they were. If you&nbsp;didn’t think there was a division between the OG cast and the Newbies before this - well, hmm, you may want to take a listen to this episode.&nbsp;</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote> @charliburnett</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote> @behindvelvetrope</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote> @davidyontef</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</a></blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<p>Artist and Musician Nicky Bondz Steps Behind The Rope. Having worked on 12 songs, almost a full album during quarantine, Nicky takes time out of his busy day to chat with The Rope.&nbsp;Getting his PhD in Mental Health, Nicky has uniquely blended his doctorate schooling into his hit music by encouraging people to stay strong during this unprecedented tough time the world is facing.&nbsp;One of Nicky’s new singles called “HOME” is a feel-good song that’s a cross of pop with a little bit of EDM and hip hop. Of course, all roads Behind The&nbsp;Velvet Rope lead to Bravo.&nbsp;In this&nbsp;case, that&nbsp;would&nbsp;be Nicky’s recent appearance on Bravo's Hit Show, Blind Date. Find out what went on when the Blind Date cameras&nbsp;weren’t rolling and what Nicky really thought of his experience filming with Bravo, during this special chat with Nicky Behind The Velvet Rope.</p><br><p>@nicky_bondz</p><br><p>@behindvelvetrope</p><br><p>@davidyontef</p><br><p>Bonus Episodes Available at<strong> - </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</strong></a></p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Merch Available at <strong>- </strong><a href="https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

<p>Randall Klein from the freshman Bravo show Camp Getaway joins us Behind The Rope. Randall is Miss Camp. No really, she grew up going to camp, loving camp, did camp teen tours, and now works at Camp Getaway. She is also a huge Bravo fan and avid listener of Behind the Velvet Rope Podcast. The woman has good tastes. Randall takes us Behind the Ropes of the new hit Bravo show discussing how she got hired, her fellow social coordinators, the romances and love triangles, and some of what we can expect as the rest of the Camp&nbsp;Getaway&nbsp;season plays out. Part Below Deck, part Summer House, Randall and David break down the appeal of this fun summer indulgence and what really goes on behind the&nbsp;scenes at a weekend&nbsp;playground for adults. Of course Randal and David bond over Randall's favorite Bravo shows besides Camp Getaway - RHONY and discuss all the ins and outs of&nbsp;their favorites and not so favorites. Finally, they debate who is the hottest guy on&nbsp;Bravo. Hint - they actually agree!!</p><br><p> @randalljklein</p><br><p> @behindvelvetrope</p><br><p> @davidyontef</p><br><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
