Vicki Gunvalson Is Tired Of Talking About Brooks Ayers; Talks Friendships, New Boyfriend And More

After tonight’s premiere of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Vicki Gunvalson headed over to the clubhouse to dish with Andy Cohen about all things OC, including the Brooks Ayers mess, on Watch What Happens Live.

Andy wants to know all about Vicki’s new beau Steve in a speed round of questions.  Did Steve watch the show before dating her? “No.” Does he know all about Brooks? “Yes, I told him everything.” Has he met Brooks? “God no.” Have the other ladies met him? “Yes.” She then shares a story of Tamra “frisking” him for a “pistol” and winds up grabbing him in the crotch.  Vicki reveals that Briana does like Steve and that she has not taken him to Andeles yet. Which Househusband does he get along with the best? “Michael.” How does he feel about the show? Vicki says he just knows it’s her career and her work and he supports whatever she does. They’ve been dating for two months.

When Andy reveals the poll question (have you forgiven Vicki), she says “How did everybody make it about them? It affected ME, it happened to ME.” Andy says, “they think you were a part of it.”  Vicki says, “I wasn’t. I couldn’t see through the forest or the trees or whatever that’s called. I didn’t see anything. He wasn’t telling me anything.”

Andy says that viewers just want Vicki to admit she knew Brooks was lying, enough with the pity party, “No, there was no pity party. If you’re in love with someone and they tell you something, aren’t you going to believe them?” Andy says to a point he would.

A caller asks Vicki if, in hindsight, she wishes she had believed Briana. “Of course, yes. But when you are in a relationship, you try to believe the person you are with. Listen, he’s in my past, we dated five years. I’m on to a new relationship, I just really don’t want to talk about Brooks anymore.”  She says the last time she talked to Brooks was a long time ago. Andy asks her if she blocked his number like he suggested. Vicki says she did but then unblocked it because he can just call her office number, email her, etc. She says they had to talk because of some unfinished business and then says she talks to all of her exes.

Andy says there was a moment that he thought Vicki and Donn would get back together. “Donn will always be family to me. We didn’t have a bad relationship, we just fell out of love. Donn is happy being single.”

A fan asked Vicki which former Housewife was the most awkward running into at the premiere party? She says that it wasn’t awkward and that they all had a great time. She then reveals that she reconnected with Gretchen Rossi and they even had lunch together (and drunk dialed Andy). He thought they were punking him because Vicki said that they should bring Gretchen back. 

Vicki says about falling in love with Steve, “we’re getting there. I’m very cautious, I’m very slow. There’s no rush. I’ve been alone and single and I’ve been dating a lot of men and I’m going on dates. But I like to be in a monogamous partnership, that’s who I am. I don’t like dating around.”  She says she’s had her love tank full and empty and she prefers it full.

Vicki reveals that Steve is older than her and he’s currently running for city councilman in Anaheim.

On the After Show she shared, “I’m tired of talking about Brooks. When he told me he was sick of course I believed him. I saw the fevers, the throwing up, losing 38 pounds in 2 months. Of course I believed he was sick. Beyond that, I don’t know anything else.”

On getting her friendship with Shannon Beador back some day: “I hope so, I don’t like being enemies with anybody. She’s bugged at me, I’m bugged at her. I’m a lot more forgiving than some of these other ladies. I want to move on, I’ve always been there for Shannon. I took her under my wing when nobody else would and I hope she remembers that. Yeah, I’m hopeful. I don’t like conflict, I hate it.  What are we fighting about anyway? I don’t even remember, the whole thing is ridiculous.”

Andy reminds her: “Brooks”

Vicki replies, “It’s not their business. I”m over it. I’m not gonna fight with her about David. I don’t give a shit. I don’t care if David’s sick or not sick, had an affair or didn’t have an affair. I don’t care.

Poll Question: Have You Forgiven Vicki? 38% yes, 62% no.  She said she didn’t care about the results because we don’t know everything that went on and what she went through.

Big Brother 18 Veterans: Who Is Coming Back?

Big Brother 18 rumor season has been on fire for the past few weeks. We’ve heard so many names of future vets supposed to be returning, and when CBS showed the cast there were only 12 houseguests. No way they can only have 12 right?

A record season of 99 days with only twelve people makes no sense, and now we have confirmation from CBS that four ‘mystery’ guests will be appearing on Big Brother 18. While there is no official word yet on who those four other houseguests will be, there are very strong rumors out there that they will be returning veterans, and even which ones are supposed to be coming back.

A lot of different names have been thrown around about which returning players are going to be joining the 2016 cast. Some of those rumors have turned out to be totally disproven. However, most Big Brother spoilers sources at this point seem to be very confident that the four vets coming back are: Da’vonne Rogers (Season 17), James Huling (Season 17), Nicole Franzel (Season 16) and Frank Eudy (Season 14).

If it is true, it’s interesting that CBS would choose these four houseguests, who are all fan favorites and loved by America. Frank and James won fan favorite, Nicole finished top three in fan favorite and Da’vonne was very popular from her season. Of course, until the two-night premiere is over this week, we won’t know absolutely for sure who the four mystery guests are going to be.

#BB18 commercial with “mystery guests” pic.twitter.com/rk7qG7D6nF

If it is the veterans returning, I have a feeling that each vet will end up with 3 people to be on their team, but my mind is puzzled about what type of teams. I think it’s possible the season could be like the Big Brother 11 version of the cliques.

For those that do not know, the cliques competed as four groups named athletes, brains, off-beat, and the popular clique. I think CBS would just let the four leaders of each team pick 3 players and call it a day.

Then the new competition replacing the Battle of the Block on Sunday night episodes will give the veterans a chance to win each week and save either their whole team or one of their members from being nominated. Either way, I am excited that the Battle of the Block is gone and this new competition, can’t be any worse right? We hope not.

Sister Wives Recap: Poi, Oh Poi!

Aloha Browns! Last night’s Sister Wives marked the conclusion of the Browns Hawaiian vacation. If the older children keep finding themselves in serious relationships, there will be enough wedding story lines to keep this show afloat for many more seasons to come! The crew is headed to a local coffee house for breakfast, but Christine has taken to calling it a bistro since the LDS Church frowns upon coffee. Kody is frustrated with the driving and parking. He’s having a difficult time hanging loose, and Caleb seems to be getting a healthy dose of his future father-in-law.

Over breakfast, Kody lectures his family about how he’s the boss, but his kids are rolling their eyes and hoping he’ll chill so they can enjoy breakfast. After their meal, the Browns head to the beach, and Kody sets up the umbrellas in the hot sand. Christine notes that he’s making their area in sad too hot to play on, so Meri plays the messenger and gets Kody to move them. Of course, he’s peeved that his idea was once again thwarted. Hopefully once everyone is allowed to finally have some fun, he’ll relax.

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!  

Kody and his wives opine about the parade of graduations and weddings in their future. It’s normal family stuff when your family contains a bazillion people. As the wives prepare dinner that evening, Kody requests a chat with Meri. Their relationship has been so distant lately (hence the catfishing), and both are worried the discussion will be forced and awkward. He expresses his gratitude for the slew of tree paintings she painted for his birthday. Meri hopes that paintings signify that she wants to work on their non-marriage. Kody believes it will be a slow process. At this point, they are just being courteous to one another. 

Next on the list for Meri’s mea culpa is Mariah. She notices her only daughter is still being stand-offish. Remembering back to her trip with Robyn’s daughter Breanna to Utah, Meri shares with Janelle that Mariah takes offense at her mother’s skinny eyebrows. Meri and Breanna decide to tease Mariah by drawing on big eyebrows. Janelle gets in on the fun, and before they know it, Meri and Janelle are having a moment of silliness. Meri gives Janelle some major eyebrows, but Meri freaks out when Janelle wants to do hers. Meri doesn’t want her eyebrows drawn on as thick and ugly as she did Janelle’s (really, Meri? Talk about dishing it but not taking it!), but she finally acquiesces. Janelle double dog dares Meri to keep the eyebrows in place until they get in the ocean and Breanna is in agreement. Meri is embarrassed, but she agrees if Kody is okay with their tomfoolery. Mariah is less than impressed with the practical joke, wondering if they drew on the eyebrows with poop. I don’t think she’s going to forgive her mom any time soon! 

TLC tends to gloss over the Browns‘ Hawaiian activities and is focusing solely on meal time. Janelle and her future so-in-law head to a fish market where they buy a huge mahi to cook for dinner. The younger Brown children watch in awe as Caleb preps and slices the giant fix, and thankfully, Robyn doesn’t make a scene about needing to vomit like the time this happened in Alaska. Madison lays down the law and the schedule for the week of her wedding. Christine is impressed with Maddie’s ability to micro-manage. With Solomon perched on Kody’s knee, Maddie requests her father to officiate the ceremony. His response is a lackluster, “Okay.” Madison calls out her dad’s reaction and he gets a bit more excited. Meri chides that Kody has been a groom in four weddings…he should be familiar with the drill! Robyn questions why Caleb’s father, a former pastor, is not performing the ceremony. Caleb’s mother has recently passed away and he gets teary talking about her battle with cancer. As Madison takes over for him, it’s clear to see how much they love each other. Caleb explains that his father would prefer Kody to officiate as he’ll be extremely emotional remembering his wife while celebrating his youngest son’s wedding. 

The family is taking a giant surfing lesson, and Aspyn and Gabriel really take to it. Christine is proud of herself for being able to “shred the gnar.” She defines the phrase: “You know, shred, like shredded, and gnar as in gnarly.” Thank you for that encompassing explanation! If any of you were holding on to hope that Mariah would eventually break down and forgive her mother, that notion got gnar shredded when Meri collided with her daughter while surfing a rogue wave. On the couches, Kody inquires whether Mariah was injured. If she had been (she wasn’t), wouldn’t he have been aware of it before then? Maybe not. After all, we are referring to Kody. 

The final night in Hawaii, the Browns will be attending a luau. Kody is in a foul mood, and he’s not looking forward to it because he doesn’t eat pork. Jesus would have been a practicing Jew and would not have eaten pork. NOt eating pork brings Kody closer to God. Logan, for one is thrilled. He hasn’t eaten pork in ages, and he can’t wait. Kody is being a bitter Betty. Nobody asked him if he wanted a luau, and had they, he would have said HELL NO because, you know, pork. And poi. Oh the poi! When Logan ribs his dad (pun definitely intended!) about his tantrum, Kody tells him to piss off. Janelle finds this phrase hilarious as she’s never heard it come from Kody’s mouth. Christine is shocked? He says it to her all the time!

Kody’s mood has improved by the time the family is ready for their pig roast. Robyn believes Kody feels torn between following these practices and allowing his family to practice free will. The Brown kids devour the pork, but I think between the mahi and pig on the spit. Solomon may be scarred for life. Kody declines the pork, but he recognizes that he’s a guest and this is a native custom. Plus, he needs to relish in the fact that his family is all together, and that’s an occurrence that happens less frequently as his children grow.

Speaking of, Mykelti has some big girl news for Christine. She’s in lurve with the guy she’s been dating for five months since moving to Utah. She may only be nineteen, but she’s ready to make the next step, and her beau will be asking Kody for her hand in marriage. Christine is floored to learn her daughter is in such a serious relationship. Mykelti wonders why her mom seems dumbfounded at her admission when Christine was so excited for Maddie’s engagement. She’s hurt that Christine didn’t give her a similar reaction. But hey! Another wedding, another season, right? Christine doesn’t want to crush her daughter’s hope, but she thinks Mykelti needs a dose of reality. Mykelti promises they won’t rush into anything. They won’t get married for at least a couple months. Am I the only one thinking a Brown grandchild may be in the mix?

Real Housewives Of Orange County Season 10 Recap – Catch Up On All Last Season’s Drama!

LeeAnne Locken Still Doesn’t Understand That It Was Wrong To Gossip About Cary Deuber’s Marriage

I have no idea why LeeAnne Locken thinks anything she does on Real Housewives of Dallas is okay. She is a blatant shit stirrer and she uses her past as a convenient excuse to justify her ridiculous behavior. I also don’t get why she felt the need to bring up rumors about Cary Deuber’s marriage all the time when it was never relevant to any issue at hand. I don’t see a connection between someone saying LeeAnne pooped in a bag and LeeAnne spreading gossip about Cary being a homewrecker. None of it really adds up.

 

Even after watching the episodes, LeeAnne seemed kind of clueless at the reunion. It’s hard to tell if LeeAnne is genuinely sorry for spreading rumors about Cary and Mark Deuber having an affair before they got married, or if she is just trying to save face. LeeAnne (sort) of speaks out about the reunion, but she is still back pedaling and skirting the issue.

 

CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!

Does LeeAnne not hear the words that come out of her own mouth? She attempted to defend herself in her Bravo blog, but she just did not make sense.

LeeAnne wrote, ” As you saw, Cary and I got into it about the rumors that I DID NOT start. These rumors have been going around Dallas for the last 10 years. To elude that I started them is WRONG. When I am asked what I know of someone, I’m going to answer with the information that I have been given. That is what I knew of them. I never claimed it to be fact, ONLY what I have heard!”

LeeAnne is diverting from the actual issue at hand – as per usual. No one ever said that LeeAnne was the first person to say things like this about Cary and Mark, but the issue is that she brought them up out of nowhere in a blatant attempt to discredit Cary. She is the one who put this on reality TV and continued to bring it up when it was never relevant AT ALL. She had zero regard for the Deubers‘ children when she put this out there and it was ridiculously insensitive. 

RELATED: Stephanie Reflects On Real Housewives of Dallas Friendships

When it comes to LeeAnne, I feel like she is the kind of person who takes one step forward and two steps back. Sure, she technically apologized to Mark and Cary, but she immediately back pedaled, insulted them further, and minimized the issue: “I think that when Cary walked off set she was being more dramatic than I have EVER seen Cary be. I’ve never seen Cary be that dramatic in my whole time of knowing her. I was really kind of confused by all her drama. It was a little big for the situation, I thought; however, in the end, when she told me that it had hurt her, then YES I felt compassion. I don’t ever want to see someone in pain.”

I take so much issue with that paragraph. How did LeeAnne not know that she hurt Cary when Cary confronted her about it in the finale episode and wrote about it a lot on social media. There is no chance in hell that all just suddenly clicked at the reunion taping. And how is Cary overreacting given the situation? LeeAnne telling everyone that shes’ a homewrecker is obviously hurtful and is something that can impact her family and business. LeeAnne is showing that she really didn’t learn any sort of lesson when she wrote this blog.

And once again, I have to say that it is so obvious that the only reason LeeAnne comes for Cary is because Cary didn’t want to be her friend and refused to be subservient to her. LeeAnne wrote, “When I apologized to Cary and Mark, I meant it. I NEVER wanted to hurt Cary. I wanted for Cary to be open about her story, and yet to this day, we still haven’t heard all of their story, have we? If you are going to dissect and demean my “story” shouldn’t I at the very least be told yours? Also, if you have heard certain rumors being spread about you, why wouldn’t you go straight to the source yourself? Why wouldn’t you just come to me? I mean, this door swings both ways, honey.” She did just go to Cary. Maybe LeeAnne needs to rewatch the finale episode. LeeAnne needs to accept that she has been beyond abrasive to these women and no one wants to be her friend because of her own actions, not because of their own personal life stories.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK LEEANNE IS ACTUALLY SORRY FOR TALKING ABOUT CARY’S MARRIAGE ON TV?

Big Brother 18 Premiere Week Is Here! Are You Ready?

When is the Big Brother 18 premiere? Well, if you are like us, you’ll be terribly excited to know that our favorite guilty summer pleasure starts this week! The Big Brother 2016 premiere kicks off on Wednesday with a two-hour episode, followed by a one-hour show on Thursday.

Big Brother 18 is right around the corner. In fact, less than a week to go! In previous seasons, we have watched many twists and turns unfold. As BB18 prepares to make its debut to our tv screens, should viewers expect the unexpected even more than usual?

Rumors had it that we might have another All-Stars season, but those were laid to rest when the new season 12 Houseguests were revealed. although there were only twelve cast members released. With promises of four “mystery” guests coming during the premiere, we are still pretty sure there will be some veterans this season to fill out the rest of the houseguests.

This, of course, leaves viewers speculating on who will return. Could we have some kind of sibling twist with the veterans, since there are two relatives of former players among the newbies this season? Who exactly will these returning players be, and what will be their role on Big Brother 18?

Big Brother is known for their well-played surprised each season. Four seasons have featured returning players: Big Brother All Stars, Big Brother 11, Big Brother 13 and Big Brother 14. Two seasons have included a twin twist: Big Brother 5 and Big Brother 17. Otherwise, we haven’t encountered siblings on the show before.

Although, many seasons have featured double evictions, battle of the block and many more twists, we already know there are going to be several new things happening this year. In addition to the probable returning vets, the Battle of the Block has been killed off and replaced with some kind of new, so far unknown competition airing on Sunday nights.

Big Brother 18 will return June 22, 2016. Looking for more info about the upcoming season? Check out the links below:

Vicki Gunvalson Says That She Almost Didn’t Return To Real Housewives & Trashes Her Cast Mates For Holding On To Last Year’s Drama

I have no idea why this is a news story because I feel like I hear this Vicki starts this “rumor” every year, but Vicki Gunvalson has revealed that she almost did not come back to Real Housewives of Orange County. I never believe it because we all know how much pride she takes in being the “OG of the OC,” but she likes to spread this possibility around in between every season it seems.

Aside from this “revelation,” Vicki also shares her thoughts on her break up with Brooks Ayers, trashes the rest of the cast for not getting over the craziness that happened last year, and comes for her frienemy Tamra Judge– hard.

Vicki is just the dream Housewife. Her story lines never dry up. Whether you’re a fan or not, you have to admit that she really has what it takes to be a reality TV star. And eleven seasons in to the show, it still revolves around Vicki no matter how much the other ladies try to steal her shine. So of course, Vicki is coming back. Real Housewives of Orange County would be nothing without her. 

So why was she supposedly considering skipping out on the show’s eleventh season? In an interview for E! News, Vicki says, “I didn’t think I had the strength, but you know what I wasn’t finished. My story wasn’t finished. I didn’t want to end as a victim. I wasn’t a victim. I just loved my man. I’m not gonna let these women have the last so in what they believe the truth was. I know my truth. I know my truth.” Well yeah, even if she actually did want to quit this time around, most of the season was still going to be focused around the ladies talking about Vicki, so she might as well be present to defend herself and (hopefully) do something else endearing and/or distracting to win back the viewers.

One thing that will get the viewers back on her side is the news that she is finally done with Brooks. For real. Vicki reveals, “I haven’t seen him since the day he pulled out of the driveway. I was just in shock.I was like ‘Why don’t you tell me the truth about anything?'” Who knows if the two have sexted or texted since then, but thankfully he is out of her life now since Vicki has a new man.

Vicki says that Brooks told her, “You’re never going to know. You don’t deserve to know. You’re just going to share it with the cast.” It’s so unclear to me what Vicki knew about Brooks’s “cancer diagnosis” and when and I don’t think we will ever know the truth about that. He is right about one thing though, Vicki would one hundred percent use whatever he tells her as an excuse to talk tot her cast members. As much as Vicki tries to act like she’s above the other ladies and doesn’t want to be friends with them, it’s just so blatantly obvious that she just feels scorned and excluded. So yes, she would absolutely use any new information he could give her to have an in with the ladies.

So how does Vicki feel about her cast mates? It was very clear that everyone in the cast was tired of her bullshit and questioned everything about her in the wake of the season ten scandal, so I cannot help wondering what Vicki thinks of them. Even though she won’t admit it, Vicki loves playing the victim card and in accordance with that, she says, “It was just so sad. I felt betrayed by my cast members. I felt betrayed by him.” She is the one who brought this whole mess to the rest of the cast members, so it’s a shame that she is not taking any responsibility for that. I get that she is sad to publicly lose her “friends” and that must hurt, but the girl needs to pull as Lisa Rinna and just “own it.”

Just based on the fact that Vicki is talking shit to promote the new season, makes me think that things did not get resolved with her and the other cast members while they were filming. And that is obviously why she is shown getting along with the new girl Kelly Dodd in the RHOC trailer- she needed one friend on the show.

Plus, it’s always so difficult to tell where Vicki stands with her on-again-off-again BFF Tamra. Now that Tamra has found religion and super zen with the diet and exercise, I would like to think that she is more accepting of Vicki and that they are getting along, but this is a reality show and zen doesn’t make for good TV- just ask Dina Manzo.

So it seems like Tamra is still the same old Tamra and Vicki is still talking shit about her to deflect against her own questionable life decisions. Vicki explains their tumultuous relationship by saying, “It hurts so bad, but I expect it from her. When you’re expecting it, it doesn’t hurt anymore.” 

Then Vicki says what we have all been thinking for years: “I think that’s how she wants to be portrayed, as a lasher-outer or a s–t-stirrer or whatever people want to call it. She did it to Alexis [Bellino], she did it to Gretchen [Rossi], she did it to Jeana [Keough]. She’s done it to every single cast member.” Well yeah, that’s why Tamra is a reality TV gem. She has this keen sense of knowing which Housewife to turn on and when. It’s actually pretty amazing.

Vicki also muses about why Tamra is so against her: “Who does she have left? She goes after me because I’m the OG of the OC, so she’s going to try to go after me when she can.” No, Vicki. Tamra and the rest of the cast come for you because of all the bullshit you involved them in. It’s not like you’re not giving them plenty of ammunition to fire right back at you.

Vicki tries to show us all what a great person she is and explains how much she still cares for Tamra: “I think my emotional tie is with Tamra, obviously because we’ve been through so much together and I sincerely want the best for her. And I don’t know if she sincerely wants the best for me.” I have no idea what Tamra wants for Vicki, but it’s just ridiculous how Vicki takes no responsibility for involving the entire RHOC cast in that Brooks nonsense from last year. I get that it wasn’t one hundred percent her fault and I’m sure he was playing her to an extent, but she played along and seems unapologetic about it. All she talks about is how she was affected and she does not seem to care that she dragged down the whole cast with her.

TELL US- DO YOU THINK VICKI IS A VICTIM OR DOES SHE NEED TO TAKE MORE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR?

What You Should Watch This Week: ‘Greenleaf’ and ‘Thirteen’

Dorinda Medley Speaks Out For The First Time Since Jules Wainstein’s Divorce Announcement

This Jules Wainstein divorce saga is getting more dramatic by the day and I feel like it just barely got started. And it was all “coincidentally” timed to line up with the one episode that shows Michael Wainstein’s obvious flaws as a husband and the cracks in their marriage.

It was super awkward to watch in general- let alone in light of the divorce announcement and the subsequent drama. Jules said that they split because Michael was cheating on her. Jules called the cops on Michael after an altercation in their home. Michael denied cheating on her and blamed the show for their split. So naturally, the Real Housewives of New York fans want to know what the other Housewives have to say- especially Dorinda Medley since she’s been friends with Jules the longest. 

CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE

I was cringing while I watched that awkward double date during the last episode with Dorinda, her boyfriend John Mahdessian, and the Wainsteins. Not only were they late, but Michael was apparently hitting up the “hot coat check girl” and suspiciously attached to his phone. Even if the divorce news did not come out that day, I still would have been suspicious watching the episode.

It really makes me wonder what Dorinda was thinking since she got to witness the weirdness first hand. Dorinda took to her Bravo blog to address the elephant in the room.

Dorinda started out where that scene took off and jumped right back into to giving marriage advice: “Let me fill you in on some facts… They were over an hour late. So what else is there to do? #MartiniTime! And when they showed up, you could cut the tension better than the steaks we were served. And you know me…Dorinda likes to make it NICE, so I proceeded to try and give some advice — some Martini-fueled advice, but it was all from a good place. I’ve been married twice, and I can tell you this: The best of marriages have those moments where you love him so much, you can’t breathe. And then there are times where you can’t stand him to save your life. Clearly this was one of those moments.” I’m not really sure how she could say that now given the nastiness that has played out since the divorce announcement. Personally, I find it tough to just chalk this up to a typical marital hiccup.

RELATED: CATCH UP ON LAST WEEK’S EPISODE

She also acknowledged that she had no idea what was going on with Jules and Michael during that time period: “But also, we now know there was much more going on behind the scenes that even I didn’t see. I realize there were deeper problems now, with Michael always being late, always on the phone, taking selfies, joking about hot nannies or hot girls… Much deeper problems, sadly.” She’s not really sharing any unique insight here, but it’s definitely what all the viewers have been thinking.

Dorinda didn’t share any new information, but she said that she would be there for Jules: “It’s always sad when a family has to go through that and a marriage breaks apart. Had I known it was the beginning of the end, I would have just asked for the check instead of another glass. But I’m here for you, Jules. We all are.”

I was hoping to get a little more inside information, but I get that as Jules’s good friend, it really wouldn’t be a good idea to unleash some major scoop in a Bravo blog entry.

TELL US- WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT THE WAY JULES AND MICHAEL’S MARRIAGE WAS DEPICTED DURING THAT EPISODE?

Shahs Of Sunset Recap: Rumble In The Jungle

It’s time to join the Shahs of Sunset for some drama outside of the Sunset Strip – that’s right, it’s cast trip time! But before we take this mess international, let’s see how we got a passport to all this nonsense.

After Asa Soltan Rahmati’s kaftan show that the crew was forced to attend (and only a few ended up watching), the gang heads over to Shervin Roohparvar’s house to drink from red solo cups. Well, almost everyone – Mike Shouhed and estranged wife Jessica Parido are absent after their big blow out at the show. Everyone is talking about what happened and Reza Farahan goes on an incredibly long-winded, misogynistic list of all the horrible names he can think of for women that are involved in the whole Mike and Jessica mess and it doesn’t take long to see where this is going – he’s trying to justify this cast trip to Belize as a way to “help” Mike and Jessica.

CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR MORE!

OK, can we put Reza’s whole soliloquy on pause for a second? I think us viewers all understand that the reason behind these cast trips are manufactured, but the idea of Reza even suggesting OUT LOUD that he’s planning this trip to try and save or help Mike and Jessica’s marriage is downright stupid. Like this bunch of drunken, self-absorbed hooligans could help themselves find a way out of a wet paper bag, let alone help a failing marriage! Just say you need to get away and move on. Now that I got that off my chest, back to the show. 

Shervin pulls Mercedes “MJ” Javid aside to talk about her breakup with nagged-to-death boyfriend, Tommy Feight. She admits that while he might be a Neanderthal version of Archie Bunker (perfect description – mad I didn’t think of it), she also might have gone a little too far in busting his chops and sabotaging a good thing.

The next night, while waiting for dinner alone, Reza calls Mike to invite him to Belize and also tell him that he’s not only having dinner with Jessica, but he’s going to invite her on the trip to. Mike balks but Reza says he’s not interested in getting involved in their relationship, he just wants to invite Jessica to Belize to get involved in their relationship.

Jessica arrives, looking on guard and Reza invites her. She decides to tell him what we all knew was coming – Jessica isn’t going back to Mike because he cheated on her. Reza isn’t surprised (along with everyone else out there) at all and Jessica reveals just how hurt she is for trusting Mike. In between Reza dishing out sound advice about how Jessica needs to do what is best for her, he stops to order buffalo chicken tenders (what is with the Shahs and buffalo chicken tenders?) and doesn’t miss a beat jumping back into the conversation with some shady remarks about what a bag of crap her soon-to-be ex-husband is. Jessica leaves, buffalo chicken tender-less and Reza calls Mike to report what happened, conveniently leave out what he said about him.

MJ is driving to meet Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi to get their lashes done and calls Reza to talk in the meantime. Reza says he has been googling rheumatoid arthritis and something isn’t adding up. We flash back to MJ, GG, and GG’s entire family at the RA doctor, not getting chemo or anything close to it – GG got a blood draw and will be put on medication to manage her RA. MJ wonders why GG is exaggerating her treatment and well, because GG is GG. Is there any other answer that makes sense?

Reza, Shervin, and Asa meet at Mike’s house to leave for Belize. Adam Neely can’t go because he can’t stand dealing with these animals on an international level has to work. Asa wonders if they can get cornrows when they arrive in Belize, I guess because they would go perfectly with her and Reza’s bedazzled backpacks. They call GG to see if she is meeting them at the airport and she tells them she won’t be on their flight and hangs up. Shervin fills everyone in on his recent conversations with her and they all express doubts about the severity of her RA. Looks like outside of buying throw-back Puma leisure suits fit for a the 1970s Olympic track team, Shervin has also been busy learning about what it would really mean for GG to get radiation, so he’s not buying what she has to say.

They arrive in Belize, minus GG, and take a puddle jumper to their resort. Reza sweats his mustache off and complains about the plane being low class, while spraying everyone with his water bottle, which is definitely an indicator of high class. Of course, their villa style resort is gorgeous and MJ immediately calls Tommy’s voicemail to complain about the humidity and everything else.

GG arrives on a separate flight with Nima, the only guy left willing to put up with her nonsense.  He did suggest the trip but I’m not completely sure why he’s here, given that he’s not a real cast member, but I guess GG needs an ally. Like anyone else suffering from a severe autoimmune disease that they have been crying about for years, GG immediately fires up a ciggy by the pool and demands less ice and more vodka in her drink.

Day turns into night and GG decides to confront Reza about the sh*t he’s been talking behind her back. She is hurt that he would even insinuate that she isn’t as sick as she is claiming to be, all while smoking a cigg and slugging back another glass of vodka. Reza listens patiently but instead of taking any responsibility for what he said, deflects to the fact that he has heard things about her RA from MJ and Shervin. GG goes on to say that her test results are in, she does have to do chemo, she has an “invisible disease”, blah, blah, blah – this is all sounding way too Yolanda Hadid/Brooks Ayers for me. Reza still isn’t 100% sold, even when she asks him to go to treatment with her.

Before dinner, Shervin has finally woken up to the fact that GG is a drama queen, MJ is drunkenly calling supposed ex-boyfriend Tommy who isn’t answering (Do I sense a surprise visit coming?), and Mike is whining about how much he misses his wife. They arrive at dinner and GG’s eyes are already at half-mast so we all know how this is going to turn out (again). MJ wants to play the fun game of going around the table, confessing something, so that it can be burned into the universe and let go. Didn’t we already play this game when they went camping? The guys admit to how much they masturbate on the daily (deep stuff, guys). Nima decides to go in on GG, all while she shoves a piece of food in her mouth, and say that he’s been enabling her. GG swallows as fast as possible to release a barrage of curse words and tell everyone to stop talking about her RA, even though SHE can’t stop talking about her RA.

GG says she’s going to put everyone on blast because they need to worry about their own stuff and decides to turn on Shervin, as she dramatically flips her humidity-destroyed hair extensions. Shervin is having none of this and gets up, in full bro stance, and morphs into some reject from long lost footage of a Jersey Shore fight caught on camera. GG is upset that she thought he had her back and will never trust a man who shaves his arms and chest again. Dinner is over and I am just now seeing that Mike spent the entire dinner in his hotel bathrobe. I guess in Belize, you let it all hang out, both literally and figuratively.

Meghan King Edmonds Pregnant With Her First Child

Real Housewives Of Dallas Reunion Recap: Shattered

Last night Real Housewives Of Dallas had their first (and I dunno – something in me is saying ‘only’ reunion) – and it was pretty bizarre. 

The major story was Cary Deuber, who all season seemed rational, together, and way too smart for all the drama, but wound up having a straight nervous breakdown on stage over the rumors LeeAnne Locken spread about her marriage beginning with an affair. LeeAnne may not do “hurt,” but Cary does and she openly sobbed a ton. 

Also randomly, throughout the entire reunion LeeAnne would morph into ‘My Carny Story’ mode and just start fake tearing up about her haunted past and all the other BS she routinely uses to try and get away with her crap. Andy was rolling his eyes and was visibly exhausted by her (as was everyone else – here, there, and everywhere!). I guess she needed Rich, The Carny Whisperer, to tone her down and stop her “story” about the hurt little girl who farts glitter from going into auto-repeat. The record is skipping, RICH!

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

I feel like editing left a lot out of the story, but we all know Real Housewives loves a good reunion walk-out! Anyway, despite it being on-tape over and over again, LeeAnne refuses to cop to saying that Cary and Mark had an affair, and then denies that she’s responsible for spreading the story all about Dallas. LeeAnne insists it was already out there – and she simply helped scoot it along? Andy asks LeeAnne why she cares so much and his vibe was like get over it, bitch! He openly dislikes her in a way I’ve only previously seen with Danielle Staub! #DeadToBravo

Andy continually rebuked LeeAnne for her actions and called her out on her nonsense. Cause yeah LeeAnne, you CrazyLiarOnFirePants – ya’did spread rumors about Cary!

Everyone is honestly wondering why LeeAnne even hates Cary so much that she’s sitting there laughing and mocking her for sobbing over everyone in Dallas now accusing her of being a home wrecking whore who not only stole Mark from his first wife, but was so desperate for Mark to leave his wife to marry her, that she married another man to make him jealous – and that marriage only lasted 3 months because Mark realized he couldn’t live without Cary and filed for divorce. Oh, and somewhere in there Mark also lost 80lbs and developed a passionate love for Roberto Cavalli. 

Both Mark and Cary maintain none of this is remotely true and that their children are suffering as a result of LeeAnne’s vicious rumor-mongering, rumors which LeeAnne vehemently denies spreading. Mark points out that she is ON CAMERA calling Cary a homewrercker, so she asks him if he wants a tampon. Apparently when you become a metrosexual you also grow a uterus! 

So back to why LeeAnne hates Cary so much. Y’all ready?! BEEEECAUSE Cary told LeeAnne to stop swanning around Dallas acting like the rebirth of Brooke Astor, because socialites have to have a family name, and they also have to be this little thing called “money” – so going to a bunch of charity events as the grunt laborer doesn’t make LeeAnne part of the inner circle of Dallas’ upper-echelons. Leanne is livid over this. She also feels her actions of ruining Cary’s reputation is justified because Cary said mean things about her – like she does;’t get the inequality between what she did vs. what Cary said (to her face) – and that is scary. That LeeAnne equates her delusions of grandeur being questioned as being on-par with her treatment of Cary. 

LeeAnne was MOH at some rich broad’s latest wedding which that means she is IN the inner circle of the charity world. Stephanie Hollman calls her egotistical. When Andy asks Stephanie if her charity world has gone down the toilet since mucking with LeeAnne, she laughs and scoffs, no. Something probably about Hollman Inc. designing the Cowboys Stadium locker room probably supersedes LeeAnne’s little highfalutin’ act. 

Also LeeAnne didn’t like Cary calling her a “carny,” even though LeeAnne talks about being a carny every 15 seconds, and literally is the freak show at the circus. 

LeeAnne decided since Cary doesn’t understand her, she therefore must be gutted “carny-style,” which is not to be confused with carne-asada style deliciousness. In fact Stephanie said LeeAnne was spreading fake gossip about all the ladies and it was her agenda all season, which I guess we didn’t really see enough of in between all of LeeAnne’s other crazy – but I guess it’s been happening since filming wrapped, as well. 

After all LeeAnne’s excuses becomes too much, Cary storms off stage and sobs into a tissue – probably a Cavalli tissue – about how she can’t stand anymore of LeeAnne’s BS. She collects herself by doing a few scorpion poses and returns to inform us that Heidi Dillon‘s gothic carnival was a set-up orchestrated by LeeAnne, and she knew because Heidi’s son goes to school with Mark’s son – so they were even gossiping about it there! Also, Heidi doesn’t even know Mark’s ex-wife, like she claimed, and admitted this is a recent interview. So yeah, basically LeeAnne’s hands are dirty – she got caught with them in the funnel cake batter!

Things ended with an awkward, insincere hug between LeeAnne and Cary, after LeeAnne admitted that maaaaaybe she was reading too much into Cary’s comments and should have addressed her personally about the rumors. Also, mid-hug LeeAnne turned her blame-eyes on Stephanie and accused her of mocking her. WHATEVER. 

Speaking of schools, Brandi Redmond‘s kids got kicked out of their christian school because Brandi referred to wine as “Jesus Juice” – and probably also all of her other antics (holy strip club, Batman!). Eh – it’s probably better they were forced out because then you know they may actually learn some stuff, like LeeAnne does not deserve to be nailed to any crosses because her imperfections are saintly and misunderstood.  

That’s not the only drama Brandi has suffered as a result of RHOD – Bryan was so upset by some of her behavior, (like when time she confronted him on camera and he stormed out), that he threatened divorce. Everyone gasps and fans themselves at the mention of “The D Word.” Why do these Housewives – of all franchises – act like saying the word “divorce” means their husbands have gotten the prenup invalidated, cast them into a low-rent condo, and yanked away all their jewels? I mean, I tell my husband he can divorce ME any old time he wants – and maybe I’ll nab one of these rich cast-off ex-Househusbands. (Dr. Paul – Call me!). 

Anyway Brandi and Bryan didn’t get divorced, instead they did a vow renewal after they practiced this thingy called com-muni-cationings. Luckily through it all Brandi had Stephanie – they both agree they’d rather be married to each other. Might be time to leave Texas, girls! (I do think these two are so cute – and I love their friendship.) 

Stephanie and Travis were in therapy throughout filming, and she is relieved to say there are no more lists because he realizes she’s a real-live grownup now! I also applaud Stephanie’s new ballsiness – which I think we can attribute to her taking on the Goliath that is LeeAnne’s ego!

There’s really not much to say about Tiffany Hendra – she’s still LeeAnne’s mouth and she’s still in love with Aaron’s hair. Also LeeAnne tells some story that I SWEAR is also the plot of a Lifetime Movie I saw in the late 90’s about her former fiance trying to kill her, and she was saved by some benevolent neighbor. 

Finally Marie Reyes comes out and then it got alllllll kindsa weird – like Tiffany started hopping scared and tried to sit on the other sofa, but neither Brandi, Stephanie, nor Cary would move, so Tiffany ended up sort of crouched uber-close to LeeAnne, almost sitting in her lap like LeeAnne was her mommy. Which if you think about it…  Since Tiffany’s face is, at this point, almost totally immobile and her expressions are on ‘sloth time,’ I was surprised she was able to become that animated. 

Dismantling twenty years of co-dependent friendship is not a safe experiment to conduct on a stage manned by Andy Cohen, is all I have to say.  Tiffany is still shrieky over Marie texting her about LeeAnne, and there is this strange sort of vibe that both Marie and Tiffany are still fighting over LeeAnne liking one of them best. Tiffany gets uber defensive over the texts, probably because, yes, she was also talking shit about LeeAnne – because honestly who wouldn’t?!

Marie refuses to cop to repeating the ‘LeeAnne pooped her pants’ story – even though it’s pretty obvious that she did, and not that Taylor just randomly made it up, as Marie tries to claim. Andy is flabbergasted that he’s even discussing this and dubs it the strangest Housewives storyline ever encountered. It turns out LeeAnne did not poop in a bag, but in a gift basket  from a charity event, (after she took all her gifts out, of course!). So do we think LeeAnne’s charity world is gonna go down the toilet after this?! Bah-dum-bing (I’ll be here all week, folks!)

Even the “We Hate LeeAnne Club” president (that would be Cary, in case you’re wondering), doesn’t believe Marie’s tale, and she also thinks it’s ridiculous that their friendship is ending over this. Tiffany rants that it’s about Marie breaking “girl code” – and that is a cardinal sin worthy of stoning in the lawless land of Housewives – because both LeeAnne and Tiffany are keeping a lot in the vault about Marie’s past. Do tell… 

When Tiffany confronts Marie about all the things she hasn’t repeated to protect her, Marie refuses to even address the comment. Like she actually shorted out – robot style – and she just stares blankly in Andy’s direction. He even repeats the question, and gets no response. What was that?!

Addressing “That Night In Austin”, it turns out LeeAnne’s behavior was even scarier than what was reported  – she actually threw a crystal bowl at Marie and it shattered everywhere (LeeAnne insists she merely flipped it over). Post-Austin LeeAnne sent Marie a ‘threatening’ text that said “Stop talking about me – or else.” so Marie filed a police report and now has a restraining order against LeeAnne (are they legally allowed to be on the same reunion sofa!?).

LeeAnne denies this is a threat, and Andy corrects her that yeah, it is. Yet Marie still wants to be friends – maybe, kinda. Stephanie is just rolling her eyes sooo hard on Good Sofa. 

This Marie does learn quick the ways of the Housewives – she paid thousands of dollars for a social media team to rip LeeAnne and Tiffany apart. Marie’s defense being, “We’re not friends anymore.” Marie even wrote a nursery rhyme about LeeAnne pooping her pants, which she read in a YouTube video to mock LeeAnne. I see why Marie and LeeAnne were ever friends: Like attracts like, and this is never more true than when it comes to crazies. Crazies are like flies to their own flytrap in the Texas sun. 

Cary even told Marie her social media onslaught was too much to knock it off. Strangely Marie denies that she’s responsible for the mean tweets, because she doesn’t really tweet being over 40 and all – someone else does it for her! Marie, Marie… you will not get cast this way. 

In the end Andy marvels that all the ladies have learned nothing something from the show so they have to go around, summer camp-style, and share how they’ve grown as a person in the year since filming wrapped. Stephanie found her voice and now uses it to keep Travis in check. Cary rambles about something, but the subtext was I REGRET EVER BEING ON THIS SHOW AND MY LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENTS DON’T NEED THIS ADDED.

Brandi is still Brandi. LeeAnne is in anger management – maybe – and then goes into another tangent about that hurt little girl and blah, blah, blah… it’s not her fault she’s a bitch! Does LeeAnne have multiple personalities now? I dunno what’s up with Tiffany, but Aaron is hot and she’s not a porn star. 

TELL US- DO YOU WANT TO SEE DALLAS RETURN FOR ANOTHER SEASON – IF SO, WHICH LADIES SHOULD STAY? WAS LEEANNE JUSTIFIED IN SPREADING RUMORS ABOUT CARY?
