<p>Vanderpump Rules OG Peter Madrigal steps Behind The Rope. Back in a simpler time when everyone had their Bravo contracts in place, a mere week ago, Peter sat down with The Rope to tell it all.&nbsp;What does HE think about it ALL? Peter explains exactly how the show was cast way back when and it is not what was expected.&nbsp;Peter is kind enough to entertain the Rope's desires to talk about all of his cast mates. Who changed the most since the beginning of the show?&nbsp;What does he personally think of Jax's marriage?&nbsp;What did he think of this past season and the newbies?&nbsp;Does he think the future of VR should be broken into two shows? How does he feel to be one of the only OGs to actually still work at Sur? What role does he play in helping cast the show as the real manager of Sur? Whose wedding was his favorite? House?&nbsp;Of course we also address the season finale's breaking of the 4th wall and how it felt like a series finale with everyone going their separate ways.&nbsp;The future of Vanderpump Rules?&nbsp;All these and more questions answered in this no holds bar sit down with the OG himself, Mr. Peter Madrigal.&nbsp;</p><br><p>@Peter_madrigal</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>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.

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)?

<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.

<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.

<blockquote>Real Housewives of Miami’s Ana Quincoces decided to donate her Emerald Green Season 2 Reunion Dress to raise money in assistance for front line heath care workers fighting Covid-19.&nbsp;That one decision quickly led to Real Housewives of Miami cast members Joanna Krupa, Karent Sierra and Adriana de Moura jumping on board. Denise Richards soon followed. Daily Mail picked up the story and voila, calling all Housewives, a donate your reunion dress or suit (Andy Cohen, thank you) was started. Ana talks to The Rope about what the process of wrangling and coordinating all of the involved housewives has been like, who donated what, who said they were going to donate but the dress seems to never have arrived, and last but not least, who just didn’t return Ana’s call. Also, we find out what her current relationship is with the other RHOM ladies.

Shortly thereafter, he met LVP, who was interested in personal training and Brett quickly found himself training our Queen.&nbsp;This training soon lead to a job at SUR which then led to a much coveted role on the juggernaut Vanderpump Rules. David &amp; Brett deep dive into all things LVP from meeting Lisa for the first time, to Hanky &amp; Panky to ending with a tour of the infamous Villa Rosa.

<p>Take a break from the Real Housewives of DC Marathon (no really, its airing today on Bravo) to catch up with one of the five RHODC&nbsp;cast members, Mary Amons. Calling from her sprawling family farm in Southern Maryland, Mary takes time out of her busy quarantine to chat with The Rope about her time on the show. After discussing the current political atmosphere in DC, Mary explains that RHODC was originally supposed to be titled, “Inside Washington” and not part of the Housewives Franchise. Mary explains the difficulties in casting a show with wives in the political sector, the added layer of NDAs and confidential information and how the show ultimately morphed into a part of the Housewives franchise. Of course, the conversation turns to the infamous Salahi&nbsp;White House crash and the implications, not only for them, but the entire Real Housewives Of DC cast, franchise and Bravo as a network from this one event. Did&nbsp;you know RHODC production was shut down for several weeks while Congress and The White House launched a thorough investigation into this&nbsp;breach of US&nbsp;security. Luckily the show went on, bringing us 5 amazing women who have earned their place in Housewives history as one of the only Bravo shows ever involved in a nationwide&nbsp;political, for lack of a better word, scandal.&nbsp;This is an&nbsp;episode you&nbsp;don’t want to miss!!</p><br><p> @maryamons</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>

Tune in to hear these stories and other #RHOD, #RHONY and #RHOC stories, in full, Behind The Rope.</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>@blairlate @behindvelvetrope @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>In preparation for tomorrow's season finale of Families of the Mafia, David sits down for an exclusive one on one with the Series Co-Creator, Executive Producer &amp; Star, Karen Gravano.&nbsp;Wasting no time, David &amp; Karen delve right in to her childhood and the moment she realized her life was “different" than that of others based, in part, on a murder outside one of her father's, Sammy The Bull’s, nightclubs. Other than a few other factors which tipped Karen off to the fact that this wasn’t how many families lived, Karen discusses her “normal” (for lack of a better word) childhood - dating, friends, having a “cousin" whose family the Donnie Brasco movie was based on.&nbsp;After&nbsp;discussing the definition of important words&nbsp;such as “Mafia”,&nbsp;“Loyalty" and&nbsp;“Rat”,&nbsp;Karen and David talk about&nbsp;“The Gotti Tapes”,&nbsp;the domino effect fall out that thereafter followed, and the subsequent&nbsp;end of the relationship between Gotti and Sammy The Bull.&nbsp;David and Karen analyze the Mob lifestyle and all that comes along with it - the made guys, competing families and, at the end of the day,&nbsp;family&nbsp;togetherness and love.&nbsp;Tune in to Part 1 of Behind The Velvet Rope’s very special sit down with Karen Gravano.</blockquote><blockquote><br></blockquote><blockquote>@karengravano @behindvelvetrope @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>
