The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Elizabeth Vargas steps Behind The Rope. With all this talk about Kelly Dodd and Braunwyn Windham-Burke being “out” of RHOC, has anyone stopped to think, or ask, “hey Elizabeth Vargas, how you doin’?” First things first, we chat with Elizabeth about how she is doing since receiving the news that she is no longer part of RHOC and will not be coming back for Season Sixteen. Then, we chat with Elizabeth about her RHOC experience - the good, the bad, the other - and what she will take away now joining the likes of Former Orange holder Peggy Sulahian and many others from various cities as part of the “One Season Wonder” Club. We address many fans’ criticism of ill fated Season 15 as “the worst in Housewives History” and break down exactly where and why it all went off the rails. We chat about how Elizabeth found out she was not continuing with Bravo, her shock level on a scale from one to ten about the decision, why she thinks the decision was made and her prior social media posts that she will definitely be back. Elizabeth also discusses her reaction to the fact that Kelly Dodd and Braunwyn Windham-Burke will also not be back - how surprised was she to learn of her co-stars’ fate and why she thinks they too will no longer be holding an Orange. Of course, we break down the remaining current cast of Emily, Gina, and Shannon analyzing whether each was a good decision as well as the return of Heather Dubrow and just how much Heather’s return played a role in any of these many decisions. With the old saying “misery loves company”, we need to know just who Elizabeth has heard from from casts past - Megan King Edmonds, Gretchen Rossi, Jesus Juggs, Gina Keough, Lynne Curtin and so on and whether, somewhere, Miss Victoria Gunvalson is whooping it up with an extra Tequila, preferably at Andales, now that Braunwyn is “off her show” (hey, don’t shoot the messenger just doing our job). Yes, we address Tamara Judge rumors that she will be back as a “friend of” and break down just how true we feel those are. Finally, Elizabeth addresses the many misconceptions she feels viewers have about her, how she would like to be remembered from her one season, whether she will be the next “Jill Zarin” who talks about Housewives for decades to come or be able to adequately move on with her life and, for anyone who loves vodka as much as we do, explains why Vargas Vodka is some of the best out there. @elizabethlynvargas @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS EPISODES Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by NUTRAFOL - https://www.nutrafol.com ($15 Off 1st Month’s Subscription + Free Shipping on Every Order - Use Code “VELVET”) Brought to you by APPLE LEISURE GROUP - https://www.applevacations.com/BTVR ($75 Off Your Stay at Live Aqua in Cancun or Punta Cana - Enter Promo Code “SAND75”) Brought to you by NOOM - http://www.noom.com/VELVET (Sign Up for Your Trial Today) Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
