Sonja Morgan on Being Iced Out By Her Co-Stars, Her Past With Luann’s Fiance, And More On WWHL
Sonja Morgan (wearing a cute dress from her Sonja Morgan New York Collection) was in the clubhouse on Watch What Happens Live tonight, along with Housewives superfan Jerry O’Connell. Sonja shared her feelings on her co-stars, defended her ‘drinking’, and much more.
On her relationship with Luann’s fiance Tom, she says that they’ve known each other for a long time – more than ten years. She doesn’t exactly say how long they’d been hooking up, but she says it was a recurring thing. Sonja says that Tom did not get to test out her rejuvenated lady bits – but she reveals that she was with him right before Thanksgiving and Lu got with him right after Thanksgiving.
Sonja says she was very surprised about Jules and her husband getting a divorce. “I did speak with Jules. It’s devastating. There’s two young children involved. I know they’re pretty discrete people, generally, before they were on a television show. It’s hard. It’s a lot to take in.”
Andy reads Dorinda’s Tweet where she stood by her decision not to invite Sonja to the Berkshires. Sonja disagrees and calls Dorinda a liar and says she’s been doing this longer. Andy asked if she was relieved that she wasn’t there after seeing what went down. Sonja says “no, this is my job and that’s where I was supposed to be. I need to be there, to see Bethenny and to talk to her. I could’ve hidden in the closet with the broomsticks. I could’ve been there with Carole and Lu. I could’ve played Twister with Jules.”
Andy reads a Tweet from Luann to Sonja that said she and Tom love Sonja dearly but Tom said it (their hookup) was before Ramona stopped drinking and that Tom claims it was a one night stand. “Okay. Well, men do usually say that. Why would I lie? I wish it had never happened because I want him and Lu to be happy. I love them both. What motive would I have?”
Sonja reveals that she hasn’t given her new rejuvenated hoohah for a spin yet and that she’s even given up dating young guys.
When a caller asks Sonja why Carole and Bethenny are being mean and childish by excluding her, she says “I think Bethenny is getting a lot of information from Ramona, the original pot-stirrer of all pot-stirrers. And I haven’t had a chance to spend any time with Bethenny. I didn’t see her over the summer and so she didn’t have me at her first party and then I had my birthday party and she wasn’t there and then the girls got in her ear about the Tipsy Girl. I think that’s why. We had a very emotional moment and then Ramona comes on Watch What Happens Live and says “wasn’t that a fake cry?” So you can see she’s stirring the pot.”
Andy asks Jerry his take on the Tipsy Girl issue. “I would’ve liked to see Bethenny take a higher road. While Bethenny is not wrong – there are some similarities (Sonja agrees) – Bethenny’s got her thing and has been very successful. I’m not a Bravo executive but I’d like Sonja to pull a little Jill Zarin and show up at the Mexico trip uninvited. Boom.” Andy says “stay tuned.”
Is Ramonja dead or alive? Does Jerry have any advice for them to repair the friendship? Sonja says, “That’s what Jerry was just asking me. He doesn’t want to see it go down in history as dead. No one wants to see that go away.” Jerry adds, “I think true love always prospers.” Sonja says, “Time will tell. I’m a little tired of The Apologizer myself.”
Which Housewife would Jerry want as a mistress? “I don’t want to get in trouble here but rumor has it that one of the NY Housewives has hit the reset button downstairs, if you know what I mean. I’m old and married, but everyone loves that new car smell.” Andy has dubbed it the Vagonja.
Has Luann been a mentor to Sonja? “The thing is, Bethenny has always been an inspiration and mentor to me. And that’s why I was so upset when we had our fight.”
Sonja says that the Tipsy Girl is going – there are 10,000 cases in the warehouse of the pink prosecco. It’ll be at the restaurant and in liquor stores.
On the After Show, Sonja reveals that she tries to watch Southern Charm, but she finds it emotionally draining.
Sonja and Jerry share their thoughts on the blowout in the Berkshires: Jerry says that he didn’t like it because it’s not cool when two people (Bethenny and Carole) gang up on one person. Sonja says that she knows Bethenny has a lot on her plate, but it was unfair to Luann.
Sonja explains again that SHE can’t change the Tipsy Girl name since her two partners are the ones who trademarked the name.
A caller asks Sonja why she allows the women to bash her character season after season? “I think you see tonight, I’m starting to speak out. When you see the reunion, you’re gonna see me rip a few. I’ve had it. My mom raised me to turn the other cheek, but it gets to the point that you can’t just keep rising above it. Like Jill Zarin said ‘If you’re gonna tell lies about me, I’m going to start telling the truth about you.’ These girls are talking about me and my drinking. Yeah I have one drink I’m tipsy, I have two drinks I’m drunk, at three I’m yours. These girls are drinking day and night! Every day, all night. They shouldn’t be talking about me at all. So I just quit because I don’t HAVE to drink at lunch, you’ve never seen me drink here at work. I don’t drink at the reunion. I don’t have to, and I’m having a great time.”
TELL US – ARE THE LADIES PICKING ON SONJA MORE THAN EVER THIS SEASON? WHO DO YOU BELIEVE ABOUT THEIR HOOKUPS – TOM OR SONJA?
Poll question: Should Luann care that Tom gave his ex a gold bracelet? 71% voted YES.
Note: Hopefully Bravo will release the clip of Jerry reenacting Dorinda’s rant in the Berkshires. It was great!

Jules Wainstein’s Rep Confirms The Michael Wainstein Cheating Rumors
It looks like Jules Wainstein and her husband Michael Wainsten are never going to finish that indoor pool at their Hamptons home. Not only did Michael file for divorce from his wife, but now the story is getting even more scandalous. There were rumors that the show put a large strain her their marriage and that it played a factor in their separation.
Now rumors have emerged about Michael allegedly cheating on the newest Real Housewives of New York cast member. As of now, we don’t really know a lot about Jules based on watching the show, but now we are all going to pay some extra attention when we watch the show to see if there are any signs. Jules’s rep issued a statement in response to the divorce announcement.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
First off, I have to say that I find it very suspicious that this news emerges on a Wednesday- the day that Real Housewives of New York airs. I hope that is just some sort of weird coincidence, but then again Jules is going to want to stick around the show for a paycheck after the divorce. So I really find the timing of this to be rather questionable.
Nevertheless, I feel very sad for Jules since she really comes across as a genuinely nice lady. Us Weekly shared a statement issued by her rep in response to the rumors that the show was somehow responsible for the divorce: “It has nothing to do with the show. They had issues for awhile but Jules was blindsided by this.” And this statement makes sense if the cheating rumors are true since it would be logical to put together that she found out about the adultery after their marriage had been on the rocks for some time.
Not only is that logical for me to put together, but a story on the Bravo website says that Jules’s rep confirms that “the cause for the split was cheating and she was blindsided by the cheating.” Like I said before, Jules seems to be a very genuine person, so I don’t think she would put that out there if it wasn’t true so I am inclined to believe the statement.
Although Jules is a rookie, she is understanding what it means to be a housewife since the statement also included a shameless plug for some product she is endorsing: “Her main concern right now is taking care of her kids and focusing on her Modern Alkeme drink.” Wow, she has learned so much so soon. But at the same time, I don’t blame her for promoting the drink since she will want more income to support her kids, so good for her. I just feel like she could have at least mentioned that in a separate article.

Real Housewives of New York City Recap: How a Kitten Taught Carole Radziwill a Ton About Herself

The episode picks up three weeks after the...from E! Online (US) - TV News http://www.eonline.com/news/773018/real-housewives-of-new-york-city-recap-how-a-kitten-taught-carole-radziwill-a-ton-about-herself?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-tvnews&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_tvnews
Carole Radziwill Believes Luann de Lesseps “No Longer Knows The Difference Between Truth And Dishonesty”
At this point, it does not seem like Carole Radziwill and Luann de Lesseps will ever be friends. There has just been way too much drama and really goes beyond Real Housewives of New York. These two really cannot stand each other and they will jump at every possible chance to put the other’s shit on blast.
So I’m not at all surprised that Carole is capitalizing on the Luann-centered arguments from the most recent episodes. Carole has decided to speak out against Luann and call her out for hypocrisy- yet again.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
Whether you are a Carole fan or not, you have to admit that the woman has a way with words. And this does make sense since she is a professional writer. That’s probably why all of her zingers really burn when she goes after the other ladies. Carole took to her Bravo blog to write about her least favorite topic of conversation: Luann.
Carole took it upon herself to do a psychoanalysis of Luann: “I feel a bit sad for Luann in this episode, because I can see in reality what I couldn’t see in real life. She’s a decent woman trapped in an idea of who she should be. A lady who does this. A woman who likes that….She is well practiced at ignoring and or denying information that conflicts with her existing belief about herself. I am a girls-girl, I live by a girls-code. I don’t date younger men. It’s how she can believe that she will teach Sonja [Morgan] to drink in moderation and be more selective with men while holding a gin and tonic in her right hand and parading men through the townhouse with her left.” Usually I feel like Carole is just look for an excuse to hate on Luann, but she makes a lot of sense here. As a longtime viewer of the show, I have been both fascinated and confused by Luann transforming from the prim and proper countess to this single lady on the prowl. In some respects she has evolved and in others she is really holding onto the past and it is all a little tough to make sense of as a viewer- so I can’t even imagine how the people who are actually in her life feel about the contradiction.
Carole got even more specific when she brought up Luann’s vacation behavior (again): “When confronted about her own aggressive behavior with men she instead talks about Ramona [Singer’s] behavior in Turks without mentioning her own -– she did bring home a married man. She did the same thing in St. Barts. When confronted with her own hypocrisy, she calls others hypocrites.” This is odd to me too. A lot of the time I don’t feel like Luann is doing anything wrong, but I don’t get why she is constantly denying her own actions that have been documented by reality show cameras. We have all seen those episodes so there really is no point in pretending these things didn’t happen.
Carole continued her analysis when she wrote, “Maybe years of covering up behavior that contradicts “the idea of her” she no longer knows the difference between truth and dishonesty? She lies about things that don’t need lying about. If you believe your thoughts are the truth does that make them the truth? Maybe it does. The truth about Lu is that she believes the stories she creates in her head, some of which are simply not true, which is why her stories never track.” Once again, Carole isn’t wrong. As much as I love Luann, a lot of her stories just don’t seem to add up…
Then Carole just went all in on some more recent incidents: “Most recently her dating history with that crazy drunk Reeeeyyyyy. Or whether or not she knew Ramona (and Sonja) had dated her new boyfriend (she did). She even lied about saying she never implied she had a hand in Skinnygirl brand even though she had implied that just an hour earlier. And remember last year she couldn’t quite tell a coherent story of why she was so upset with me after we returned from Turks? Was it because I stormed into her room? Or was she suddenly furious I was dating Adam [Kenworthy] six months after I told her? Nothing made sense.” I really just don’t get how someone can constantly rewrite history- especially when it’s been documented by reality TV cameras and the episodes are constantly repeated on Bravo.
Tonight is an all new episode of The Real Housewives of New York. Join us here for the over analyzing and snarking!

Lynne Curtin’s Daughter Alexa Curtin Gets In Serious Trouble (Again)
I have no idea why Lynne Curtin is not on Real Housewives of Orange County anymore, but I will say that it is a major oversight. Not only did Lynne have a peculiar personality that was constantly entertaining, but her family life was chock full of drama- constantly. She always had an actual story line and it was just reality TV gold.
I always felt so bad watching her deal with her rebellious daughters and from what I hear the drama got even crazier after she left the show. Among other things, her daughter Alexa Curtin decided to become a porn star. She also recently accused a sheriff deputy of rape. And it seems like things are getting even more dramatic for Lynne’s youngest daughter.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
Poor Lynne. It has to be so tough to have a daughter who is in such constant turmoil. Things just really aren’t going well for Alexa these days.
According to People, Alexa is currently facing drug charges after a traffic stop last month. When she was pulled over, police allegedly found drugs in the car. Alexa is being hit with two misdemeanor charges: possession of a controlled substance and possession of controlled substance paraphernalia.
And on top of that she could provide evidence of registration for her car so she has an infraction for that. Now, Alexa is facing one year in jail. Hopefully this is the wake up call Alexa needs to get her life together once and for all.
I really feel so bad for Lynne. This has to be breaking her heart.
TELL US- DO YOU THINK THIS LATEST INCIDENT WILL BE ENOUGH TO TEACH ALEXA A LESSON? OR DO YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE A LOT MORE TO TURN HER LIFE AROUND?

REPORT: Yolanda Hadid’s Ego Behind Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Departure!?
I’m sure it will come as no surprise to learn that Yolanda Foster Hadid‘s ego might be the real reason she left Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills!
After much speculation that Bravo was desperate to repair Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills after last seasons’ toxicity and Yolanda was fired, today she confirmed her departure. Yolanda implied she made the decision not to return, however a production source claims Yolanda actually quit because Bravo only offered her a ‘Friend’ contract instead of being a full-time cast member.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Bravo reportedly felt they were doing Yolanda a favor because a part-time role would allow her “more free time to address her health issues,” but the former Mrs. Foster was insulted by the consolation prize!
A source tells TMZ that Yolanda considered Bravo’s offer a snub. Apparently Madame de Munchausen did not approve of Bravo demoting her, because her JOURNEY is not boring – it is inspirational, necessary, eye-opening, educational, awareness-raising, and connected to a higher purpose. So how DARE Bravo request that Yolanda settle for being a ‘Friend Of The Housewives’.
Yolanda reportedly attempted to negotiate by offering Lyme-Free storylines – like finding love again – in exchange for returning as a Housewife, but obviously that didn’t work out and it seems Yolanda opted to leave the show instead.
Let’s be serious – Yolanda mostly wanted to return for a platform to promote her Lyme memoir, “Believe Me” – and ain’t nobody – producers, cast, or viewers – excited about feigning interest in that crap. Can we say YAWN-landa?!
Bravo is reportedly relieved fine with Yolanda’s decision to part ways with Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills (production was allegedly more than sick of her divatude), and told Yolanda she was welcome to appear in future episodes as a ‘Friend,’ if she was so inclined.
Who exactly would Yolanda appear as a ‘Friend’ of? She isolated most of her cast members with last season’s antics like lying about her marriage, incessantly bailing on filming,’ constant lecturing and hypocrisy, and, of course, the Munchausengate!
I for one am THRILLED to no longer have to endure Yolanda – or her ‘side-kick’ Brandi Glanville, who now has no remaining tethers to RHOBH. Let’s hope Bravo improves their casting and brings in uber-wealthy fabulous ladies who know how to have fun!

Brandi Redmond Says Her BFF Stephanie Hollman Is “Priceless”
To keep it real, I didn’t know if I was going to like Brandi Redmond when I first started watching Real Housewives of Dallas. I had no interest in that poop hat story line so I really didn’t know what to think. Over time I realized that Brandi had a lot to offer for this new show and she actually ended up bringing a great deal of dimension.
Another aspect that Brandi brought was friendship. And I just loved watching her and Stephanie Hollman laughing together and living it up on screen. Sure, it got a little inside jokey at times, but it’s just nice to see that these two have a genuine bond. I hate watching reality shows that consistent of a cast that was just randomly thrown together without real prior history. I am so shocked to admit it, but these two really brought a lot to the show’s first season.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
In all honesty the finale was a bit of a snooze fest, so I’m not shocked that Brandi didn’t have a lot to say in her Bravo blog, but she did have some sweet things to say about her BFF Stephanie and she shed some light on their history.
Brandi explained why she and Stephanie sign on for the show: “Stephanie and I chose to do this together to give us something fun to do outside of being a busy mom.” Well that and the possible fame and fortune that comes with being a part of one of the most successful reality TV franchises ever.
I’m happy that Brandi shared a little bit more about her past. They really played up her past as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and it’s nice that she revealed some more personal information about her work history: “I left my career being in business development for the DOD in Aerospace Defense, NASA, and Telemetry to become a full time mom after Brinkley was born. Being a mom is the hardest and best job ever but at the same time one becomes so selfless.” I wish that this is something Brandi talked about more on the show since she got constantly pigeonholed as an ex cheerleader.
Brandi explained why she enjoyed filming the show with her closest friend: “The best part of this experience was getting to do it with Stephanie. We have laughed, cried and complained a few times too. Having a friend that you can be yourself with and just let your hair down is a treasure. So if you have you a Stephanie, never let her go. I also want to thank Stephanie for her friendship, love, support, and the best times of my life have been lived with her. You are precious and priceless Steph, love you!” Sure, that wasn’t the juiciest blog entry of the season, but sometimes there just isn’t an opportunity to talk shit. Plus, that finale was honestly lame. And at least Brandi is being genuine with her feelings about their friendship instead of just orchestrating some dramatic take on a boring episode.

Andy Cohen Has Watched The Real Housewives Of New Jersey Premiere Multiple Times & It Made Him Cry
It has been way too long since the last season of Real Housewives of New Jersey. I am way too excited to see Teresa Giudice back on TV. The queen is back- well, she will be soon. I have watched the RHONJ a million times and July 10 just seems like forever to wait for the premiere date.
Andy Cohen has the best job ever (for many reasons) and my latest reason to be jealous of his existence is that he got to watch the RHONJ premiere already. In fact, he has seen it more than once and he had a very emotional response to it.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
I am dying to see Teresa return home after a year away in prison and Andy makes it clear that the moment doesn’t disappoint. He talked about it during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, “I’ve seen it three or four times, and I wept every time. It’s the realest, most raw moment that I’ve seen. When you see these four girls jump in her arms, it’s like nothing that I’ve seen.” I. cannot. wait. RHONJ has always been the realest in the franchise and I feel like the next season is going to be one of its best.
I just want to see what Teresa is really like now that she is back home. Andy teases that there is a definite change in her: “You do see a different Teresa, and you do see how this year away really changed her.” I hope that she is the best Teresa possible, but I am also (selfishly) hoping that she’s not too zen. I still need to see that sass that I’ve grown accustomed to.
And I am so curious about how Teresa got to such a peaceful point with Melissa Gorga. I’m very happy that they are on good terms, but I want to see how that happened. I couldn’t even handle my excitement when I saw her jump in to defend Melissa when Jacqueline Laurita was screaming at her and called her out for “four nose jobs” in the trailer for the next season.
Andy didn’t reveal too much about that (obviously), but he did let us know that we are going to see how Teresa’s longtime relationships have really evolved when he said, “It’s interesting to see how the terrain lays out between her and her sister-in-law, who have never gotten along. And she and her ex-best friend of 12 years, Jacqueline, those are the two relationships to watch, and you’ll be surprised by how they turn out.” I am beyond pumped.
Seriously though- Is it July 10 yet?

Big Brother 18: Cast Assessment
It’s that time again! Time to make ridiculously-too-early predictions about how this group of new houseguests might fare. And while we may not know the whole picture in terms of all of the houseguests we’ll be watching this summer, we might as well get started on breaking down our new friends and take a look at their chances and what we can expect from each of them this summer.
At first glance, I actually think this cast is well-balanced and could have many potential winners in the end, something we can’t say for many seasons. And best of all, the houseguests seem to be hungry for that money. I believe all but two said they’d rather win and be hated than lose and be loved, which is something I look for in a serious player.
It’s nearly impossible to really determine who will win Big Brother 18, particularly if we’re not getting the full picture right now. But I’ll give my two cents on what we’ve got to work with and will provide an update when the picture becomes clearer. Without further ado, let’s dive into the twelve new houseguests for Big Brother 18!
Michelle Meyer
If this game was played on paper, she’d be an excellent pick to go deep into the game. She’s clearly the biggest fan of the bunch, citing herself as a live feeder on her CBS profile. To me though, her strategy seems a little disjointed. She wants to win competitions but also appear weak, which is it? As much as she claims she doesn’t want to be a superfan that appears to be so invested in the game, I’m not sure she’ll be able to help herself. Additionally, I’m not sure how self aware she is as she states she’s not awkward, but her interview with Jeff felt awkward to me. She reminds me of Nicole from Big Brother 16 quite a bit for a number of reasons, which could be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it. The whole Dietitian thing could get annoying if other houseguests get tired of hearing what they should and shouldn’t be eating. I’m glad she is ready to play the game and do whatever it takes, but the execution is really what matters. She seems very excited to be there, and whether or not she can contain her excitement is going to say a lot in terms of how the other houseguests will react to her. It could go either way, it really depends on how she clicks with the other new houseguests and any returning veterans.
Glenn Garcia
He feels like a fish out of water to me. Certainly that New York City edge may help him in dealing with different personalities, but I have to wonder how prepared he is for what this is going to entail. I expected him to dive into being a former police detective in his interview, but there was none of that. I don’t think he’s quite the Derrick that he thinks he might be. I’m interested to see how he copes, but I expect that younger kids are going to grate on him. The age gap is very significant for him, by 18 years. I just don’t know that I can see him overcoming that, but it’s happened before. It’s good to know he’s willing to be flexible once he sees the vibe of the house, but I do see that he could be too aggressive in his gameplay early on if he isn’t willing to take a step back and let others be more prominent. As the older person, it’s best for him to find his role, blend in, and not give anyone a reason to go after the “easy target.” I’m ready willing to be surprised, but I don’t really expect we’ll be seeing him lasting for more than a few weeks.
Tiffany Rousso
Is she not the spitting image of her sister, Vanessa? I do find it interesting that she’s a high school math teacher, very different than her sister Vanessa who plays poker for a living. I wonder if the houseguests are going to actually believe that. It was also fascinating that she doesn’t give up her relationship to Vanessa right away when Jeff probed her during their interview, which reminded me of Vanessa skirting around her real agenda. I do find her to be much more down to earth and relatable than Vanessa. Although perhaps before Big Brother 17 actually aired I might have felt similarly. She mentions being very competitive like her sister, but hopefully she doesn’t get too obsessed with winning every competition and playing things perfectly. I liked what she had to say on her CBS profile, mentioning wanting to form real relationships with people and her dedication to remaining focused. I think if we didn’t just see her sister crush it last year, her chances would be fantastic. But with Vanessa being fresh in everyone’s mind and potentially throwing former houseguests (that may have played with her) into the equation, I do get a little concerned. I really would like to see her overcome that however, so she can play her own game and be remembered for being Tiffany, not Vanessa’s little sister. I very much look forward to seeing what she brings.
Victor Arroyo
At first, I didn’t feel like I could get a good idea of who he is and where he fits in this cast, but as the picture has come together more I’m not sure that I like what I see. He certainly isn’t incapable, but I am just not sure he is skillful enough to do well, especially with limited knowledge of the show. When he said he wanted America to love him more than he wanted to win, I was pretty much determined thinking that he’s not in it to win it. He intends to woo the women and be a part of multiple alliances, both of which could spell some trouble if he’s not sly enough. Because he’s an obvious physical target, I do think him not standing out is probably something he should focus on. His life motto and description of himself were not at all impressive, and make me think he’s a bit egotistical, which will be sniffed out quickly by those that are perceptive. I think he will be his own worst enemy in this game and it will not be difficult for others to manipulate him if they don’t kick him out early for being a threat to win competitions. I really don’t have a great outlook in terms of his potential here, and wouldn’t be surprised at all if he was out in the first four weeks.
Bridgette Dunning
She seems perfectly nice, but I have to wonder if she’s cut out for this. I hope we don’t turn on the feeds to seeing her in a corner wondering what she got herself into. I found her to be very agreeable in her interview with Jeff, though her nursing experience might make her more worldly than she appears. Although the gesture she kept making with her hand on her chin was very much irritating and not as cute as she thinks it might be. Her hesitation to be hated says a lot, I’m not confident she’ll get far enough to be there if she doesn’t make the right connections. That’s really what I think it will come down to for Bridgette, whether or not she is able to form lasting connections, because she seems a little disconnected from the whole thing. She says in her profile that she can be oblivious and gullible, two things that are not good for the Big Brother house depending on the caliber of player you are playing with. On top of that she tells Jeff she’s not a good liar. I’m hoping it goes better than I expect, but of all the women (who I think are impressive) she was the one I couldn’t get a good read on and didn’t see a lot of potential in terms of gameplay.
Paul Abrahamian
He had a good, fun, generally self-aware energy but was almost working too hard to be mellow. But he seemed relaxed and approachable enough, where he can enact what he said where he’d essentially be the bartender listening to people’s problems. In his profile, he said he was confident that he was sneaky, though if others see him as sneaky, that is certainly not going to be a good thing. I have a sneaking suspicion that he might be our villain this year, or at least intends to be. If he comes off mellow and disinterested and unleashes only in the Diary Room, he will do just fine. Fortunately, he’s ready and willing to be malleable and I like that he wants to just let things unfold and react accordingly instead of speculating too much ahead of the game. He wants to have fun, which is something I personally like to hear. I’m not sure if he’s just going to be content floating along or if he’s going to be incredibly invested in the game, it’s really about where he finds himself socially in the first week. My biggest concern with Paul was the “ruffling feathers” comment he made when being interviewed by Jeff. Do a lot of things get under his skin? If he can’t keep up his cool demeanor, that’s really what everything hinges on. Can he keep up that front or no? That’s the real question here. He vows to be wild and I think we’re all hoping he delivers on that promise.
Natalie Negrotti
There are a few red flags on her profile, such as her wanting to start an all-girl alliance and being a strong competitor, that could wind up putting a big target on her, but I really enjoyed her vibe and how charismatic and engaging she was with Jeff. She’s like the opposite of Michelle for me where I feel like on paper it doesn’t look promising for Natalie, but if she’s got the charm and the game savvy that she appeared to have during the interview she could go deep. But she needs to not come in so strong and let the dust settle for a while before she really starts to play the aggressive game that she speaks of. Natalie’s self-described impatience is also not a great sign for her chances in the game, where you need to be patient and sit back sometimes. It could go really well or really poorly for Natalie: if she can make it past week three, I think she’ll be around for a while. Her clicking with the girls is really a key factor I think, because they might not like her if she’s too over the top. But she cites working with lots of other women as a cheerleader and her wanting to work with the girls is a good sign. Of course, she could be an easy target for the men if she is too aggressive in wanting to work with the girls. Regardless, she’s going to be fun on the feeds and in the Diary Room and I hope we’re afforded more than a few weeks to watch her because she’s incredibly fun and could bring a lot to this season.
Jozea Flores
He’s one of the biggest question marks for me, he certainly seems like he wants to play hard, but I am not sure if it’s all there. He makes the game seem super simple in both his CBS profile and in his interview, and I think he’s in for a shock. On his profile, he says that there will be nothing hard about living in the Big Brother house and seems confident that he’ll be able to use “love and caring” to manipulate houseguests. I’m not so sure he’s ready for this. But, I do expect that he’ll bond well with people for the most part if he’s not standoffish and guarded, as he sometimes came off with during his interview with Jeff. His body language was incredibly closed off, and while it very well may be nerves, he needs to at least appear to let people in if he wants to make the right bonds to go deep in the game. To add insult to injury, Jozea sees no weaknesses in his game, but again, it’s not as easy of a game as he thinks. Maybe he’s keeping things close to the vest, but I just think he feels he’s got Big Brother figured out and he doesn’t. This could go either way for him, but things are trending downward for him unfortunately.
Bronte D’Acquisto
I know some people find her voice annoying, but I find her personality and energy to be so engaging and adorable, so forgive me if I’m somewhat biased. I expect the other houseguests will find her to be non-threatening when in actuality she’s really laid out a strategy and cites how she’ll put it into motion. I hope she’s willing to be flexible in terms of her strategy though, otherwise things could get tricky, but I have high hopes for her. Bronte is going to bring it in terms of entertainment and gameplay, the voice alone is hilarious. She had absolutely no hesitation when she said she’d rather be hated and win, and exclaimed that she was motivated by the money (so she can get her degree) more than anything else. I really loved how in her CBS profile, she said she would think through the worst case scenario instead of how things will work out perfectly, because it’s something I really find to be true. So many houseguests expect their alliance will run the tables in the competitions and it never works out that way. Her intention to use behavior science and statistics intrigues me, and I really want to see how well she can put her plans into action. As long as she can relate to her fellow houseguests and isn’t seen as an overly strategic player, things could go really well for her. Perhaps she’ll have her dream of being the “female Derrick” fulfilled.
Paulie Califiore
Similar to Tiffany, I feel like Paulie was maybe a more subdued Cody. He’s older and wiser, but really I didn’t see a ton of differences between how Cody played the game and how Paulie wants to play it. I’m not sure if he’ll have that lingering desire to outplay Cody, but I want to hope that he won’t just carbon copy his brother, but I’m not entirely sure what he’ll bring and what ideas he has. Right away, everyone is going to know who he is, he looks just like his younger brother. A few of the new houseguests listed Cody as their favorite former houseguest (which is shocking) and might want to work with him because of this. I’m sure his social game will be up to par, I have to give credit to Cody where it is due, for Paulie however it’s more about if he’s cutthroat enough to make the decisions that Cody was never able to make. He’s going in willing to see what the rest of the house is like before making any plans, which is great, but he has to be willing to have the killer instinct that Cody could never follow through on. I really could see it going either way, but I’d be surprised if his brother made him a target, certainly the verterans and Tiffany would have bigger targets on them. The set-up is decent for him if he can navigate the group of houseguests well enough, we shall see.
Zakiyah Everette
I think her chances are decent, even though she speaks of showmances and having a big mouth, she came across very calm and even-tempered. And best of all, she wants to win badly. I think there certainly could be problems for her if she’s not approachable enough or not as aggressive in the game as she should be, but it’s really hard to point out too many red flags, especially since her CBS bio was pretty brief. But there’s a lot of upside with Zakiyah, if she plays her cards right. There’s always things that could go wrong, but if I had to place my bets on someone, I think she could be one to watch. She should be sitting back and letting things happen for a while as I imagine she’ll do, but I hope that she knows when it’s time to make moves. She says she wants to “actually play the game” so I have faith that she can do what it takes when the time comes. I imagine she’ll do just fine socially, and that’s really key for her. If she makes the right connections and doesn’t become expendable to others, I doubt she’ll be going anywhere anytime soon even if she gets nominated as a pawn early on.
Corey Brooks
His concerns about missing home and his reputation are things that don’t really look good to me. I think he’s not offensive and will be well-liked in there, but he doesn’t have the killer instinct that I look for personally. Sure, you could see him as similar to winners like Hayden or Drew, but I’m just not seeing his heart in it as much as some of the others, so I’m not seeing it so much. That said, he’ll certainly be sticking around and quite possibly could be roped into a showmance with some of the women. On top of that, the specifics of his CBS profile wasn’t bad and he did speak a lot about plans to make strong social bonds and if he puts that into action, he really could be someone in the endgame. He does seem well balanced and has a good read on what is and isn’t necessary in terms of his strategy. I’m unsure of exactly how well he’ll end up doing, but I don’t expect that he’ll be one of the guys that are targeted first, since he seems to be someone who might be more mixed in socially than some of the other big, athletic guys in this cast.
Overall, I think this cast has a lot of potential in terms of entertainment value and gameplay. I don’t see a ton of personalities that are going to get into fights and stir up the craziness, but I’ve been wrong before. I think the strategic aspect of the game is more what’s going to be focused on this season, which can always lead to drama itself. It’s going to be a great summer of Big Brother, make sure you get your live feeds before the fun kicks off next week!

Jules Wainstein Divorce Shocker! Husband Michael Files For Divorce
Jules Waintstein divorce shocker: her husband Michael filed for divorce!
I still feel like I don’t really “know” Jules Wainstein, but I do like her. I wish we got to see more of her life on Real Housewives of New York though. I feel like the other ladies are just screaming for attention so she gets lost in the shuffle.
And now I’m just totally in shock by the news that her husband Michael Wainstein has filed for divorce. Again, I have to emphasize that we still haven’t really seen a lot about Jules, but she seems like a very devoted wife and mother, so this is very sad news. And it’s such bad timing since she is newly in the spotlight. Now I’m going to be watching these RHONY episodes looking for signs of strain in the marriage.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
According to a report from E!, “They were having issues before the show but I think pressure from filming clearly put a strain the marriage. It brought things to a head.” Yeah, putting your life on display for millions of viewers probably isn’t the best thing to do if there are existing problems. But then again, it could have actually been a very smart move for Jules to set herself up to be able to provide more for her children in case the couple split.
Could this by why Jules seems so sad and stressed without explanation on the show? Or is she just not getting enough screen time for us to know what was really going on?
I imagine that we will hear a lot more about this and if we do not see much on the show- I am pretty positive that Andy Cohen will bring it up at the reunion show. Hopefully, the Wainstein family is doing alright these days.

Below Deck’s Kate Chastain Arrested For Biting And Choking Her Girlfriend
Well, this is just too strange, dark, and totally shocking to snark about. Apparently, fan favorite Chief Stew Kate Chastain has been busted on a domestic dispute with her girlfriend, whose name has yet to be revealed.
The Below Deck star is out on a $5,000 bond after being arrested for biting and choking her girlfriend, who she was allegedly trying to kick out of the house. She bit her on her arm and leg, then choked her. Her official arrest reads as a “felony domestic violence charge of battery by strangulation.”
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
According to the police report, after Kate attempted to kick her drunk girlfriend out of the house and she refused, the situation escalated. “Kate bit her in the forearm, bicep and leg. Cops say Kate also put a knee on her head, choked her, and tried to stop her breathing,” reports TMZ.
Kate was arrested Monday night in Melbourne Beach, FL, after her girlfriend went to work with bruising on her arm. She posted bond Tuesday. The new season of Below Deck was not shooting at the time.
Kate broadcast her relationship with her girlfriend online, even posting photos of the two smooching on Instagram with captions like, “I’m not gay…but my girlfriend might be.”
Recently Kate told Bravo she never thought she’d date a woman, but it just felt right.
Of her new relationship Kate said, “I think every single human that knows me is going to be surprised by the news because this is out of character for me. If I break up with this girl, I don’t think I would really be interested in dating girls after this. I don’t really think about labeling it too much. I just feel like I met somebody whose company I enjoy, and that’s just all I’m calling it.”
In the wake of Kate’s domestic violence arrest, it seems there might be trouble in paradise though. To those who were shocked by Kate switching teams in the dating arena, her arrest comes as an even bigger shock.
TELL US: ARE YOU SHOCKED BY KATE’S ARREST? WILL THIS HURT HER CHANCES OF APPEARING ON NEXT SEASON’S BELOW DECK? SHOULD IT?
