Did America’s nominee void our nomination by winning veto on BBOTT? We have all the details on this week’s Power of Veto competition. Find out if the POV could change the outcome of this Big Brother Over the Top week.
The BBOTT houseguests were asked to gather in the living room. Then it was revealed that America choose to make Monte Massongill the third nominee. Monte, Alex Willett, Danielle Lickey, and Shane Chapman picked Power of Veto players.
Shelby Stockton and Scott Dennis were chosen to play in the competition.
This week’s BBOTT Power of Veto competition started with Jeff Schroeder entering the Big Brother Over the Top house to host the competition. He made a little small talk with the houseguests, as CBS finished setting up the competition.
It was basically a giant mini-golf setting. The players then set the order of the Veto competition, but players rotated each round. It took quite a few rounds to crown a winner.
In order to win the Power of Veto, a player needed to score 60 points to use it to buy the POV. Whoever didn’t win the POV had to use their points to buy a punishment.
Shane Chapman won the Power of Veto competition. He will likely take himself off the block, which means Alex needs to name a replacement nominee.
A few of the punishments included wearing a caddy costume and carrying around golf clubs all day, sand trap for 24-hours, and restriction from playing in the next Power of Veto competition.

At the end of Supergirl's first season, Kara (Melissa Benoist), a.k.a. our titular superhero, finally worked up the courage to kiss her hottie coworker James (Mehcad Brooks)--just before Non...Kelly Dodd‘s world is riddled with fights – at candle stores, at book launches, before Costco, after Costco…even all the way in Ireland – and she breaks them all down in her Real Housewives of Orange County blog.
Kelly gushes over Jim and Meghan Edmonds‘ new candle store, shares that there was an open bar (priorities!) at the launch party, and reminds us that she knows the secret Vicki Gunvalson claims to know about Shannon Beador.

As with most Real Housewives parties, drama ensued. “It seems Vicki was not too happy about getting an obligatory voicemail from Shannon in response to being life-flighted as a result of the dune buggy accident. Vicki was still upset and was not letting Shannon off the hook. Things deteriorated to each of them calling the other a liar. Vicki escalated the situation when she threatened to reveal the secret Shannon had confided in her. Although, by now, it isn’t much of a secret because Vicki had already told me. You’ll have to stay tuned to see how bringing up Shannon’s secret makes things spiral out of control.”
Kelly says equally nice things about Terry and Heather Dubrow‘s book party, then loses all credibility when she chimes in on the Brooks Ayers drama from last season. “It was brave of Vicki to introduce her new boyfriend, Steve, to this crazy group of ladies – especially considering how they undermined her relationship with Brooks (based upon what Vicki has told me). Steve is a great guy. Quiet, confident, solid. Michael and Steve get along great. We have gotten to know him quite well since then and he seems to make Vicki very happy.”

Speaking of her husband, Kelly goes on to explain why she and Michael were not getting along at the book launch. (As if this was a shocking turn of events?)
The short version – Kelly and Michael, already at odds because of an earlier fight, went to Costco. Once there, they realized they forgot their membership cards. While Michael went to get a temporary pass, Kelly went to get drinks and hot dogs. “I told Michael to stay put by the entrance until I got back,” says Kelly.
Spoiler Alert: Michael didn’t listen!
“Since I was already upset with him, my patience wore thin. I called him and texted him, but he didn’t answer. By this time, I am fuming. When I texted him I was leaving, he finally called me back. I had had enough. I blew off the shopping and took off in the car and headed home. I left his ass at the store.”
Michael called an Uber to get home, where he refused to speak to Kelly and insisted he was not going to Heather‘s party. “He went of course, but he wasn’t happy about it. It showed all over his face. I shouldn’t have criticized him to my friends while at the party, but by now you know I am impulsive and have no filter. It’s a good thing Michael gets me and is patient with me. I know I’m not the easiest person to live with.”
Kelly concludes, “In any long-term marriage, like ours, sometimes you argue, you drink too much because you argue, you embarrass each other, and if you work at it, you make up and move on. Our arguments just happen to be seen by everyone.”

Kelly adds that last week’s episode was just the “wind up” of the drama.
Tonight, the Real Housewives of Orange County head to Ireland, where an “over indulgence of spirits” leads to an explosive confrontation between Kelly and Tamra. The argument pushes Tamra “over the edge” and leaves Kelly “on the outs,” reveals Bravo.
Kelly shares, “As you saw from the preview of our trip to Ireland, while it was at times fun, things get nasty. Nasty! I hope you stay tuned for maximum drama.”

Nobody ever accused Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez of having a good relationship, but their breakup is even worse. In the latest, Stevie J is suing his pregnant ex for defamation of character.
Oh boy…Or should I say girl, because Joseline just revealed she’s having a daughter!
The former Love & Hip Hop Atlanta stars have been in an all-out war. Joseline is currently 6 months pregnant and it’s unclear if Stevie is the father of her unborn child (she says yes; he says no). With Stevie turning his back on her, Joseline’s hormonal rage has channeled into tweets and deletes accusing Stevie of being a devil-worshiping, gay porn addict, who has molested Eva, the daughter he shares with Mimi Faust. And we thought a non-hormonal Joseline was vitriolic.

A couple months ago Joseline posted an incredibly incendiary instagram post with all of the following accusations. You can read the original here.
Stevie is tired of Joseline running her mouth, and is suing her for defamation of character. Claiming she can’t prove her accusations (she’s already posted proof of a polygraph test which claims she caught him watching gay porn).
Stevie’s suit attests that Joseline has been on a rampage of a smear campaign, and she has even gotten his daughter’s former nanny (who happens to be Mimi’s niece) in cahoots with her to post the outrageous and untrue accusations about him on social media. Now, I may believe he worships the devil… JUST KIDDING!
TMZ obtained copies of the lawsuit which says Joseline even called Georgia Department of CPS on Stevie to formally accuse him of molesting Eva! Both Mimi and Stevie publicly denied Joseline’s claims.
Stevie believes Joseline’s comments have “damaged his reputation and exposed him to public hatred and ridicule.” Oh, really? [side eye] Stevie is requesting a judge issue a gag order against Joseline, and he wants compensation for damages. Maybe he can use that to pay his back child support!
Joseline and Mimi have had a contentious relationship. Stevie, a father of 7 (and possibly soon to be 8!), is currently battling a million dollar child support case, and has been sentenced to serve mandatory time in rehab for failing multiple court ordered drug tests.
Stevie has been mostly quiet online since the couple split and Joseline announced her pregnancy. He’s rumored to be dating Faith Evans.
Oh, and here’s some recent photos of Joseline at 6 months pregnant.

Who’s more important in her own mind than the President of the United States? Kim Kardashian, that’s who! The reality and social media star is taking major steps to beef up her security after a robbery in Paris left her bound, gagged, and minus some serious jewelry – but ultimately unharmed (at least physically).
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, along with her entire Kardashian family, is taking the Paris incident seriously, which is to be expected. But her latest move to hire former Secret Service agents is leading some to wonder: Is this, perhaps, going a bit too far?
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
TMZ reports that Kim’s new security team “includes former members of the Secret Service, who will be armed to the teeth.”
Kim’s agents will be comprised of “at least one team of two hired muscles (minimum) everywhere she goes.” So, thieves everywhere: You’ve officially been put on notice!
The Paris robbery included five masked, armed men breaking into Kim’s apartment, holding her at gunpoint, then tying her up and locking her in a bathroom while they stole a $4.5 million dollar ring and a jewelry box worth over $5 million dollars, along with two personal cell phones.
RELATED: Kim Kardashian And Family Hit Paris Fashion Week
Since the robbery, husband Kanye West and momager Kris Jenner have naturally been deeply focused on setting up new, improved security measures around their empire. Kim, herself, even met with “some ex-special force members from the Israeli army, ex-CIA agents as well as former Secret Service members” to discuss heightened personal security.
Kim, whose infamy is largely based on her overwhelming (and sometimes downright exhausting) presence on social media, may want to take a look at how exposure of her private life in deference to the almighty dollar has played a role in making her vulnerable. But until this deeper thought commences, one assumes she’ll just have to depend upon the armed guards glued to her side!

Lisa Vanderpump is one of a handful of Bravo Housewives who has staying power in this sometimes precarious industry. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Vanderpump Rules star recently shared her feelings on what it means to be a reality ‘star,’ including how she initially got into the world of warring Housewives, and how she has navigated its rocky waters since.
Part of Lisa’s appeal is her depth. Lisa is not merely a “housewife” who cameras follow around for dramatic purposes; she’s also a long time business woman, brand builder, and activist for animal rights and the LGBT community. The restaurateur and humanitarian seems to understand something that many of the other Bravo Housewives (96 in total since the franchise’s inception ten years ago) often do not: Audiences stick with the person, not the persona.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
In a recent interview with Ad Week Magazine, Lisa talked in depth about her feelings on being in the limelight, and her hopes for the future.
Lisa admits that she initially turned down the opportunity to become a Housewife but, “the third time [she was asked] I thought, ‘OK, I will go in [for an audition].’ I didn’t think I gave a great interview, but then they came to interview me at my house again after that. [Bravo personality] Andy Cohen now says that I was the reason he green-lit Beverly Hills because he says he saw something different, something quirky in me.”
Her family wasn’t always supportive of Lisa’s choice to put her (and their) life on display, however. At first, “They weren’t thrilled. Initially I felt a little sense of security in the fact that the show [didn’t air in England], but it’s becoming quite big over there. And now it’s even more in their face because I have a show called Vanderpump Rules and that’s my family’s name.”
But having a platform to raise awareness about issues close to her heart has become an important part of Lisa’s “celebrity” status. “I’m very cognizant that the show has given me such a platform. I feel that when you’re a celebrity – and I do use that word loosely – and when you’re in the public eye, you have a responsibility to stand up and draw attention to things that you believe in,” she says.
In fact, Lisa negotiated with Bravo to include her charity work as a main focus of her storyline this coming season, a move Lisa said she needed after enduring the previous Season From Hell. “I was so beaten up last year. The audience has always stayed with me, so that indomitable support has really seen me through. But from the other women, that kind of haranguing and – I don’t like to use the word bullying because everybody uses that word and it’s so cliché – but just feeling totally persecuted by them, screaming at me, I just felt I couldn’t do it anymore, and I said that to Bravo.”

And even if drama does find her again, Lisa jokes, “I’m never going to be the Housewife that’s rolling around on the floor trying to pull somebody’s weave out. That’s not who I am. I do say wildly inappropriate things I think are funny – it’s my British sense of humor – but I’m not somebody that’s going to lose their shit.”
As for her den mother role on RHOBH spinoff, Vanderpump Rules, Lisa says she’s mostly relieved to fly above that particular drama. (The cast takes care of that well enough, themselves!) “It’s just taken on a life of its own. When you get a group of people that have known each other for 10, 12 years and they work together and they live together and they date each other and all that, the stakes become much higher than when you’re orchestrating a group of people that don’t even know each other.”
Being at the helm of a successful spinoff has created feelings of jealousy among her castmates, confesses Lisa. When asked if she feels like she’s gotten the “villain edit” in the past, she explains, “Well, I think the other women have tried to do it. With the producers, they normally think that unless you’ve got something really bad – unless they catch me boiling a baby – it really isn’t going to stick. But I think that [my having another show] has probably created certain feelings over the years. I mean, a lot of opportunities have come my way, and I’ve taken them.”
Despite these opportunities, Lisa admits that it’s been tough at times to rise above the Housewives drama. “I think when the women have attacked me. That’s devastated me. I’m not a victim, but it’s been very hurtful. When they accuse you of stuff, I mean, that’s been hard. Sometimes I haven’t been able to watch it. Or when they’re lying about you, and it’s out there. But we’re lucky enough to have a production company that has integrity – I know it’s a rarity in this world—and tries to show the accurate story. And if they think somebody is bat-shit crazy and they’re accusing you of something, they’re going to show it. And luckily, the audience sees the truth.”
“After the first year, I said I wasn’t coming back. After four years, I said I wasn’t coming back. I think I’ve always said that. This year it was a really, really difficult decision. It was just not about money. It was about whether I could go through what I went through again. I didn’t think I could. And I still don’t know if I made the right decision,” Lisa continues, adding that she hopes highlighting her charity work makes it all worth it in the end.
As for the future, Lisa hopes to get into more of a production role. She shares, “I would like to actually go into producing more. We’re looking at a couple of scripted ideas. And I would like to, basically, design everything. I would like Vanderpump to be a lifestyle brand. I would like the name Vanderpump to be about every beautiful thing in life!”

The luck of the Irish doesn't seem to be on Tamra Judge and Kelly Dodd's side. The Real Housewives of Orange County hits Ireland and brings the drama--you can take the ladies out of the...Siggy Flicker may be Real Housewives Of New Jersey‘s resident (self-appointed) relationship expert, but I’m questioning her sanity and her advice. I mean for all this tawk about soldiers, she’s sure turned into one of Jacqueline Laurita‘s right quick! Jacqueline’s bite is just as scary as her bark, so I get it.
As Dolores Catania warns, Siggy better stop throwing salami and provolone into the pen because when she runs out the Jacqocerous is going to get very angry and chomp her hand.
Honestly, Dolores is far more capable as a relationship expert when it comes to the chaos of Jersey than Siggy.

The ladies slowly trickled home from Vermont, licking their wounds, which amounted to some wrinkles around the eye and a scuffed Louboutin, and realized that unlike their shoes or their faces their ‘group’ – the Fantastic Five – couldn’t be Botoxed or buffed into prettiness again. They were officially kaput. And whose fault was that? Why Jacqueline’s of course! Depending on who you ask. Siggy is having a very difficult time accepting this reality.
Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice are considerably less fazed by Jacqueline’s nonsense – because A) they’ve been there before, and B) Teresa has Joe’s very, very impending prison departure happening in a few days.
After crying in bed for four days, Siggy visits Dolores, who has some new developments of her own – her kitchen is almost completed (and looks just like the best of a Home Depot showroom), and her gym is making money. In her future, Dolores sees financial freedom from Frank – finally – and it feels so good. After decades being shackled to his bank account as the indentured ex-wife, she has taken the leg lifts towards independence.
Of course Dolores‘ progress is all over-shadowed by Siggy having a huge meltdown about Jacqueline being mad at them for not having her back enough in Vermont. Dolores notes that Siggy has no idea how these girls roll, being that she’s “stuck in the petting zoo” when everyone else was throwing food in the “Do Not Feed section.” I mean, do we need to insult majestic animals like this?
Siggy “feels” Jacqueline is mad at them because she didn’t respond to a text when they usually talk on the phone for an hour per day (!?!?!?!). This breaks Siggy’s heart, but also infuriates her. Dolores is impassive – her heart is as hard as granite and she’s been around this block time and time again. She accepts that Jacqueline and Teresa’s friendship ended that night on the deck because neither one of them will ever admit that they’re wrong.
Over at ENVY, Melissa is trying to figure out why her mannequin is a stripper at Lookers whore, why their online sales are 0, and whether or not Derek, her manager, was scheming to expose Teresa as a tax-evading thief while paying his rent selling stories about her! Melissa half-heartedly confronts him but he insists he’s only ever said nice things. That’s good enough for Melissa – she has the ENVY fashion show to worry about so she she can run Kim D out of town once and for all. Posche this, bitch!
Meanwhile at Jacqueline’s house, she’s wearing jeans so tight she can barely sit down and sulking over Teresa and Melissa. Dolores and Siggy are expected so Siggy can grovel for forgiveness over some non-existent reason. While waiting eons for Jacqueline to quit watching the geese in her backyard and open the door, they do butt squats on her stoop.
They all meet on the deck with Chris and Ashlee standing guard – I’m not sure if it was to restrain Jac if need be, or to protect her. Siggy literally bursts into tears and sobs harder when Jacqueline insists she will never, ever, like ever, be friends with Teresa and Melissa again. YEAH RIGHT. Perhaps Siggy was so distraught because this meeting took place on THE infamous back deck – where lifelong friendships go to die and Jacqueline’s maturity stunts and withers like a potted plant left out in the winter. At least this time Caroline didn’t show up glaring over a Starbuck’s!
To prove her loyalties, Siggy decides she won’t attend Melissa or Kim D‘s fashion shows, but she will go to the launch of Jacqueline’s popcorn. The whole time I’m pretty sure Dolores played Candy Crush on her phone.
Of all the things that happened in Vermont, Jacqueline is most livid and affronted that Teresa and Melissa would accuse her of having any role in Stripper-gate when she was Melissa’s humble and earnest protector. Jacqueline has always had Melissa’s back, but then Melissa turned on her. It does the beg the question, the age-old, eternal, never-ending question: how did Jacqueline know so much if she had no inkling of what would go down?
I’m confused – Jacqueline screamed, name-called, and insulted everyone in Vermont, yet Melissa is to blame for refusing to take another long and winding trip down memory lane with Jacqueline’s finger pointed in her face? Is Siggy smoking Jacqueline’s twitter and popcorn-flavored crack?
Another legit question – does Chris ever go to work? Ashlee? Or do they all just sit at home placating Jacqueline’s tantrums while eating salami and popcorn?
After deciding where her loyalties lie, Siggy goes to meet Melissa for coffee and let her know that Jacqueline is her more bestest friend. Jacqueline’s immaturity is obviously catching.
Meanwhile, Jacqueline and Dolores trot over to the Posche Fashion Show. Without Teresa, Melissa, or Danielle Staub there, there was only Kim D to squeeze the drama from the sequins and lace she calls ‘fashion’. And try her damnedest she does by heavily insinuating that Juicy cheated on Teresa in prison, with some blonde, and then “a lotta brunettes.”
Dolores does not take the bait and kinda shrugs and rolls her eyes. If she wouldn’t have been there, Jacqueline would have been ALL OVER exposing that mess, lapping up the details like they were made of solid gold, but instead she pretends to be above it as she sips her champagne and claps for the Russian Mail Order Bride costumes scampering down the old sheet thrown in the middle of the floor. Jacqueline did make sure to have Kim D exonerate her from any involvement in stripper-gate, though!
Siggy buys a cup of coffee with a $100 bill – cause that’s how she rolls; keeping it 100! – and then confesses to Melissa that she’s skipping the ENVY fashion show. Melissa is rightly pissed and reminds Siggy that it was JACQUELINE screaming at her in Vermont, and JACQUELINE who was screaming criminal and nose job across a restaurant. At least Melissa finally admitted that the “worst-kept secret” in Jersey is true: Yes, she had a nose job (or 4)!
In a strange moment, Siggy admits she initially thought Melissa was fake and phony. Little antenna poke out of Melissa’s hair as she wonders just where that opinion formed. As Siggy flustered through explaining that Melissa was ‘distant’ when they first met, it dawns on Melissa that Jacqueline has probably been talking shit about her for many moons above her back deck.
It is a shocking and stupefying day when Melissa makes salient points, but here she did. Perhaps getting a j-o-b and using that brain muscle for something other than scheming to become more famous has done her body good? Melissa informs Siggy how ridiculous it is that she’s skipping the ENVY show out of loyalty to Jacqueline because even if Jacqueline has no interest in a friendship with Melissa she was the one hurtling unprovoked low-blows! “Just watch your back,” Melissa warns Siggy, “because nobody gets a free pass with Jacqueline.”
Since Jacqueline is still living in the past, the reason she’s cutting her ME-lissa Tumors out is because Melissa hesitated to answer over strippergate. Defending herself to Siggy, Melissa wonders how she would react to Jacqueline’s fingers in her face? And insists Jacqueline warning consisted of letting Melissa know some conversation happened in a salon and Teresa was there. Basically just Jacqueline looking for more credit than she deserves.
Melissa doesn’t want to talk about strippergate anymore. She doesn’t care – she’s so over it she’ll climb the umbrella pole on their picnic table for a few dollars. Why is Jacqueline dredging up something that has been buried for years – like that bondage dress Kim D should have thrown on the funeral pyre. It’s OVER! DONE! Jacqueline can take it to confession or counseling if she’s still so distraught!
Siggy, realizing that blaming Melissa for Jacqueline’s insanity is stupid, reconsiders her position and decides to attend the ENVY fashion show.
While all this was going on, Poison brings Teresa lunch and they discuss how she’s gonna take out the garbage – the literal garbage – while Juicy is locked up. It’s lovely to see them getting along. Even though they may have taken the very, very long way home, under the tunnel of Bravo cameras, I’m glad they made it. I don’t care if Teresa and Melissa are ‘faking it’ til they make it, I like them getting along. I like Teresa humanized, and Melissa too. And I do think Teresa and Poison are definitely genuine. They bring out the best and the worst in each other, as family does, and at this point I want to see the best in all of them.
Teresa needs it and, more importantly, so do her girls. If Jacqueline were ever a real friend, instead of a fake and phony bitch, she would have recognized this is the time to truly put their differences behind them and be supportive of Teresa – not necessarily for Teresa, but for her kids.
Then Siggy, Dolores, Melissa, and Teresa meet for lunch. Given that Bravo is paying, Teresa orders everything off the menu, then leans over to shriek that Jacqueline is a crazy bitch who should be avoided at all costs. Adding that she is also the person who initially brought Kim D around and continues dragging her into things – alluding that Jacqueline and Kim are close and Jacqueline had to have known about strippergate beforehand.
Dolores decides if they’re going to remain friends, Teresa and Melissa aren’t allowed to talk about Jacqueline to them, and vice versa. Siggy shares that she’s gonna attend the ENVY fashion show after all, and Teresa scoffs that she knew Siggy would see the light in the end. Well, at least she’s starting to.
Then Siggy and Dolores go eat mini-popcorn and learn Jacqueline is gonna be a grandmother. Are we seriously expected to believe Ashlee wasn’t pregnant before Pete proposed? Really? Equally ludicrous is Ashlee insisting her baby is gonna be raised “organic” while her face is full of more plastic and fillers than Milania’s Barbie dolls. Mmmmmkay, honey.
The other revelation is that Juicy invited Chris to his going away party, and said Jacqueline and the kids are also welcome. Chris is planning to go but Jacqueline has – wisely (shockingly!) – decided to stay home. Later, Dolores warns Chris that he can’t go and has to skip for Jacqueline’s sake. I think Chris has stood by Jacqueline enough! He’s patronized all her outbursts and nonsense. I think the message he NEEDS to send is that he will no longer tolerate Jacqueline’s insanity ostracizing them.
Finally, Dolores escorts Teresa to church, which was just so freaking hilarious! They both wore black fur like good mafia brides widowed to prison, and no, the church didn’t go up in flames when Teresa stepped through the doors.
In the pew, they discussed how their lives as Italians Wives is so different from that of their mothers, and why Teresa is standing by Juicy for eternity. Teresa does note that if Juicy cheated, like Frank did, Teresa would never put up with that. Dolores wisely just smiles, nods, and suggests they pray.
Dolores is smarter than she looks – and really quite savvy at negotiating the trenches of a RHONJ friendship. Girl definitely has her tranquilizer gun loaded in the ‘Do Not Feed’ section. I’m glad we’re FINALLY getting to see some of her personality. I see why she’s a good fit now.
