The RHOC cast has, collectively, won this stellar return to form Season 18 of the OG city of all the franchises. Shannon put Alexis in her place, Pedranti showed no fear, Katie brought the humor, not her cat, and clapped back any Durbow, Johnny J was present even though he wasn’t, Emily represented as the greek chorus and we, the audience, got a glimpse into the future of the show.  We break down the future of each Orange Holder - some good news, some bad, and when we can expect to hear about Season 19 casting. In other news, RHONY has hit an all time new low with cast members begging the audience to “stick with them” after a prank gone awfully wrong. We break down just where the RHONY Reboot went awry, the original casts’ reaction and whether this franchise can come back from the life support that it is on.  Finally, we chat some RHOP - this past week’s episode, how this franchise is better than it has been in years, the much different treatment of Miss Huger’s DUI from Shannon’s and much more. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Listen Now: https://www.patreon.com/c/behindthevelvetrope Learn more about your ad choices.
