Off The Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe

#977. Top Chef Season 23 winner Rhoda Magbitang is fresh off the win and she’s taking KB behind the scenes of what it actually takes to get there. Rhoda opens up about moving to the U.S. at 17, working two jobs while putting herself through culinary school, and navigating male-dominated kitchens. Plus, why she finally said yes to the competition she spent years avoiding.
Rhoda also reveals what Top Chef viewers don’t see, why she hated everything she cooked on the show, and how reality TV messed with her confidence. Then things get a little less serious when KB puts her chef opinions to the test: ketchup on eggs, ranch on pizza, truffle oil, jarred garlic, and one VERY unexpected death row meal.
Come for the Top Chef BTS, stay to find out which food trend Rhoda is sending straight to jail.

#976. Theresa Caputo sits down with Kaitlyn for a conversation that somehow makes death feel a little less scary and life feel a little more meaningful.
They go beyond the usual question of whether or not you believe and get into what Theresa says really happens when we die, how loved ones may try to get our attention, why grief can show up years later, and what more than two decades of talking to people on the other side has taught her about the people still here.
Theresa also opens up about the stranger side of her gift, the messages that catch even her off guard, the things people misunderstand about mediumship, and the moments that still give her goosebumps after all these years.
Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this is the kind of conversation that might have you paying a little closer attention to the signs around you.

#975. Kelsey Cook just had a very chill week: she dropped her first Netflix special AND married fellow comedian Chad Daniels within days of each other. Casual!
Kelsey and Kaitlyn get into the very chic experience of getting married for a second time, how a foosball web series somehow led Kelsey to her now-husband, and what happens when two comedians fall in love and suddenly anything you do could become someone’s stand-up material. When the conversation gets deeper, Kelsey opens up about finding her place in an already-established family and how comedy has helped her navigate one of the hardest chapters of her life with her mom’s dementia.
And then, naturally, things take a turn. We’re talking the very real phenomenon of needing to poop in a Blockbuster, an airplane bathroom experience so horrifying it earned a spot in her Netflix special, and why interrupting a comedian’s set probably isn’t your best shot at going viral.
Listen to the episode, then go watch Kelsey do what she does best: turn the things that should probably traumatize her into comedy!

#974. Whitney Fransway is back on reality TV... and this time, Bachelor Nation was just the warm-up.
Whitney joins Kaitlyn to talk about going from The Bachelor to Bravo’s In The City—and why putting her real relationship on TV was a whole different experience. She opens up about moving across the country for Kenny, going from long-distance to living together, having their relationship picked apart by the cast and viewers, and the unexpected tension that could impact whether they return for Season 2.
Plus, Whitney gets into making friends in your 30s, where she stands with the cast today, and the moments with Kenny—and the rest of the cast—that cameras caught but viewers never got to see.
Was reality TV round two worth it? And would she do it all over again? Tune in to find out!

#973. It's amazing how two people can answer NSYNC questions for over 25 years... and still tell stories you've never heard before.
Lance Bass and Joey Fatone are on the pod, and somehow we go from *NSYNC reunion rumors... to Broadway... to Britney Spears... to hot dogs... to Christmas cats... and it all makes perfect sense.
We get into what it was actually like getting back into the studio together after all those years, why the band never really "broke up," and what fans still get completely wrong about where everyone stands today. They share behind-the-scenes stories from the height of boy band mania, open up about growing up in the spotlight before social media, and explain why watching fame from the inside looked very different than it did from the outside.
But honestly? Our favorite part of this episode is just listening to these two together. They roast each other nonstop, finish each other's stories, completely derail the conversation (more than once), and had us laughing so hard we almost forgot we were recording a podcast.
We also talk about their new E! series Cocktail Wars and play a couple of games that reveal who you'd actually want to be stuck at a bar with.
Whether you grew up in the TRL era or you're just here for the laughs... this one's for you.
