Say #What? Survivor‘s post-Halloween episode tonight was fittingly part trick and part treat, ending on what may just be the most shocking and intense blindside yet this season. Jeff Probst promised the game-play was going to ramp up as this season progressed, and he has uncharacteristically not over-hyped things thus far.
We’re going to get into everything that went down tonight, and analyze the shocking end of the episode that surely will create ripple effects through the rest of the season. Here’s your second-to-last spoiler warning, so stop reading if you have yet to watch Episode 7 of Survivor.

So holy hell, just like that, the spit-fire, free-spirit, absolute bad-ass Michaela Bradshaw is out of the game, and right before the merge. It was not only an epic blindside of a power player, but it was one of the more confrontational exits that I can even remember. We’ll talk more about Michaela’s exit, but how did we get to that point? The episode began, and ended, with promises of “revenge” from scorned contestants licking their wounds, with Taylor reeling from Figgy‘s ousting last week, and Hannah promising to exact revenge next week on those responsible for taking out her ally, Michaela.
Yes, poor Taylor. He was not anticipating his girlfriend Figgy leaving the game. Upon returning to camp, Adam seemed super-motivated to smooth things over with Taylor, and he tried manning up and taking full responsibility for the demise of #FigTails. It was he, after all, that cast the deciding vote to get rid of her. Interestingly, in the era of the temporary “voting bloc,” Jessica and Ken were shown later in the episode as not having much loyalty whatsoever towards Adam, who basically saved their lives in the game last week…or at the very least, you can argue that Jessica and Ken at least seemed to want to keep their options open and not glue themselves to Adam. Taylor’s aloofness may have worked to his advantage tonight, because Jessica started to see him as perhaps a more straight-forward potential ally, as opposed to the more intellectual, strategic-minded Adam moving forward.
The #RewardChallenge tonight yielded two pretty decent feasts for the two winning tribes, but this was when there were a few more “Michaela Moments” that looking back, seem now to have been a bit of foreshadowing of what was to come. Michaela has been blunt and no nonsense, and she didn’t hold back in telling Probst that she was not surprised Figgy was voted out. We know her to be awesome in physical challenges, and after she once again performed well, she compared herself to Steve Jobs and Michael Jordan in a confessional interview. She did show some awareness, when she also admitted that she was starting to get worried about how good she was doing at challenges, knowing that this would put a target on her back.
We didn’t get too many other tribe dynamics at play tonight, but another interesting alliance might have been formed when David and Zeke bonded. David – love his game or hate his game – is playing an aggressive, confident game, and deciding to tell Zeke about his Idol may be a great game move…or another boneheaded one. Time will tell. The only other development that bubbled up on their tribe was a bad case of gas from all the boys following their feast, making Michelle quite grossed out, and rightfully so. At the other tribe, Hannah was on to Bret‘s bogus story about how he claimed he was a funeral director. Hannah had a hunch he might be a cop (he is).
By the time Michaela‘s tribe lost the #ImmunityChallenge, it seemed pretty cut-and-dry: One of the two Gen-Xers – Bret or Sunday – were going to go home. Michaela, Hannah, Jay and Will had the majority, but as it was pointed out at #TribalCouncil, each of the last two weeks ended with the majority of each tribe voting out one of its own. We the viewer know Michaela to be a strong-minded player, but we see her tribe mates witness her intellect when she maps out the rest of the game with rocks and seashells, working out every scenario to get them to the end of the game. This may or may not have factored into his decision, but Jay suddenly had the epiphany to vote out Michaela, whom he saw as too strong a player to allow to make the merge. Not only did Jay pull in Will, and had sitting ducks Bret and Sunday vote for Michaela, he decided to keep Hannah in the dark about it. It was a major move, a big move, and it culminated in Michaela verbally confronting Jay after the votes were read. Jay – give the man credit – looked directly into Michaela’s eyes and admitted he was the one that betrayed her. It led not just to the usual “blindside” hashtag, but to one that is a level above that: #What. That about said it all.
Episode Take-Away: If there was any question before, there is no longer: These people are here to play.
Strategic Move of the Week: Well of course, Jay‘s decision to take out Michaela. I’m not sure this was a good move…but as I mentioned, it was a big one. On one hand, Michaela was a very strong player…but keeping her in the game would have made her a bigger target, which would have been great for Jay and Will to hide behind. But it was a tricky situation, because Michaela was so strong-willed and independent, that she would not have hesitated to turn on her alliance if she thought it would further her game. Yes she planned to stick with them at this point, but she could have changed her mind at any point. Even still, Jay and Will might have been better off sticking with Michaela…once again, only time will tell.
Voted out this week: Michaela
Vote: 4 – Michaela (Will, Jay, Bret, Sunday) – 2 – Bret (Michaela, Hannah)
Next Week’s Episode: It’s the merge! If you don’t already, be sure to check out my Episode Preview article next Wednesday, as I will give a complete break-down of the tribe dynamics heading into the merge, and try to predict who might be in the best (and worst) spots. The merge ep is almost always one of the best, most important episodes of the season, so you will not want to miss it!

Tonight, Scott Dennis left the Big Brother Over the Top house. This left the BBOTT Ball Smashers officially down a member. Unofficially, they may have lost two members this week. This makes it, more or less, a 4-3 showdown going into this week’s Big Brother Over the Top Head of Household competition.
The Ball Smashers really needed to win it to stay alive. Not only did the Ball Smashers need a win to, hopefully, take another Late Night Jamboree member out the game, but also to make deals on the other side.
They were in desperate need of at least one more person on their Big Brother Over the Top side.
This week’s Big Brother Over the Top HOH competition was the usual face morphing competition. Players had to individually look at pictures and name three of the Big Brother Over the Top houseguest faces that were used to make up the current picture.
The player to guess all their faces correctly in the shortest amount of time won this week’s HOH competition.

If you've got a thing about sounds, like we do, then tonight's American Horror Story was particularly horrific. We're specifically talking about all scenes involving Lee...Last week, Scott Dennis escaped near eviction on Big Brother Over the Top. Everyone expected America to vote out Scott instead of Neeley Jackson. However, the Big Brother Over the Top viewers had different plans.
Scott failed to really clean up his image after Neeley’s eviction. He just created more of an enemy of the BBOTT Late Night Jamboree. The week proved especially troublesome for Scott when he declared that he would antagonize Danielle Lickey, and then she won the head of household competition.
Danielle tried to spare Scott from BBOTT eviction. She saw him as not a real threat to her game. However, America nominated Scott for eviction, which made Danielle change her plans.
After Danielle won the haunted power of veto competition, she became completely on team evict Scott. It’s what America wants, right?
The end of the power of veto ceremony left Morgan Willett, Shelby Stockton, and Scott on the block. Of course, the Ball Smashers wanted to stay together (despite Whitney Hogg’s drifting allegiance). This meant they would vote out Scott over Morgan.
The Late Night Jamboree would also decide to vote out Scott, but they knew that they probably wouldn’t get a vote, considering Shelby’s care package nullified three votes.
Tonight, Shelby stuck to her plan and eliminated Kryssie Ridolfi, Jason Roy, and Justin Duncan‘s votes. This left Whitney and Alex as the only two votes this week, plus America’s vote.
Scott was voted out by a 3-0-0 vote. Scott is the fifth (and final Four Horsemen) BBOTT player to leave the game.

Is this the start of a Ryan war? Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds have been charming the pants off of human beings all over the world for many years now, in a constant unspoken battle to...This season of Big Brother: Over the Top is flying by as we are already wrapping up week five this evening. The live eviction tonight shouldn’t come as a huge surprise considering the spoils granted to the winner of America’s Care Package this week. The lucky winner of the ACP this week has the power to void three of the six votes casted tonight by the HGs.
Tonight’s episode will feature the HGs spooky Halloween costumes, so stay tuned for all the “spooktactular” fun.
This weeks looks like to be the first week in a while that America’s Eviction vote is not making the deciding vote for eviction by casting the tiebreaker vote. If plans go as I have predicted considering the ACP this week and the block nominees, the HG that will be leaving this evening should have a vote of 3-0 for eviction once the ACP powers are used.

Erin Lindsay (Sophia Bush) and Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) are stronger than ever on Chicago P.D.--but that doesn't mean they won't face more obstacles this season. What's...
When American Horror Story: Roanoke delivered its big twist two weeks ago, revealing that both the real-life My Roanoke Nightmare players and those playing them on the faux show-within-the-show...
At this point it isn’t too shocking for fans (and haters) to question the parenting decisions of the Teen Mom stars. There is always some sort of controversy going on with these people. So what’s the latest? Instagram users are freaking out about pics that Farrah Abraham and Jeremy Calvert posted of their daughters on their Instagram accounts.
Since this is par for the course with the Teen Mom cast it is almost getting too easy to hate on them. That’s why it’s hard to tell if people are just picking on them because it’s easy to do so or because it’s justified.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
Let’s get started with Farrah because people just love talking about (and hating on) Farrah and her mothering skills. She posted a pic on Instagram with her daughter Sophia holding a tumbler cup and Farrah holding a package of detox tea, adding, “Teatime @flattummytea @sophialabraham and I after all that candy.”
As expected, her followers were up in arms over the post and the insinuation that Farrah gave the tea to Sophia. People were relentless in the comments which is really nothing new for Farrah.
Farrah denied that she gave her daughter tea for a post-Halloween detox with a comment to Us Weekly, clarifying, “She has strawberry milk and I have my tea. She wanted to take a pic like that, so no, my daughter does not have tea in her cup.”
That’s good to know, but since this is far from the first time people have taken issue with Farrah’s social media posts, she should have put a more clear caption to avoid controversy..unless the controversy is what she was going for.
Then there’s Jeremy, the father to 3-year-old Adalynn with Teen Mom star Leah Messer, who put up a pic of their daughter holding up a rifle. As if that wasn’t questionable enough, Jeremy added, “She said Daddy, lets go hunting and shoot a coyote. LOL. Better watch out boys she wont miss. LOL. HaHa.”
Obviously people went in when they saw that one and thankfully he deleted the post. Nevertheless, we are in an era where people screen shot everything possible, so of course that gem will be floating around on the internet forever. And if you want to add a visual to this story, you can check out the photo at the Daily Mail.
I figured that people who are constantly criticized about their parenting would be more careful about what they post on social media, but then again their less than conventional parenting situation is what keeps them all on TV, so it’s hard to figure out what they were thinking?

Below Deck stars Kate Chastain, Captain Lee and his wife were hanging in the clubhouse with Andy Cohen last night. Kate and Lee answered questions about crew members – past and present – and so much more!
Captain Lee’s wife of 42 years, Maryann, was the bartender last night. She says that his ego hasn’t gotten big since appearing on the show.
Andy plays an old clip from season 3 of Real Housewives of New York when Ramona Singer was on a yacht with Luann and Jill Zarin, bragging about how her haircut made her look like an older Cameron Diaz. Kate was working on that boat. She says that Ramona did brag to her about the haircut, too. “She was super excited, it was very new.”
Andy then plays a montage of all the things that the psychic was wrong about with Captain Lee. He asks if Lee is open to being read by a psychic? “Absolutely. I’m open. I consider myself very open-minded. The last thing I would ever want to do is embarrass a charter guest. I am one of those individuals that wear my feelings on my sleeve, I’m pretty easy to read.”
Was Kate surprised when she saw Ben‘s commentary, assuming HE was who the medium was referring to in Kate’s reading. “Completely. I thought he was just in the kitchen working.”
Andy asks Captain Lee a series of questions about his crew – past and present.
Were Kate and Lee surprised by Kyle’s revelation on the episode? Kate said, “I was just surprised that he had another person he was dating. He was so into Sierra and then he was so mad at Sierra and then he had a baby mama and it was just like ‘oh there’s someone else’!”
Why doesn’t Captain Lee ever go out with the crew? He laughs, “that would be a total recipe for disaster.”
A caller asks Kate if she is still dating women or if she’s gone back to dating men? “I’m a little traumatized from my last relationship but I’m not really attracted to girls that much. My last one wasn’t exactly feminine. But somebody cute just moved in next door to me but he has a pet cat, so I don’t know.”
Does Lee think he’s too hard on Kelley? “No, not at all. I see something in Kelley that I want to get out and I think that’s the way to go about it.”
Andy asks what Lee and Maryann’s kids think of the show (they have five). She says, “Like my one son said, it’s like watching home movies and he’s not in them, because we’ve all worked with dad.” Lee says that two of their kids are seamen.
Why don’t we ever see the captain’s quarters? “I think we did in an online tour this year.”
When’s the last time Kate spoke with Kat Held? “About two weeks ago. She’s doing good, she’s in Charleston, back in school. She’s great.”
Who is better: Eddie or Kelley? Lee says, “not going there.”
Who are Kate’s favorite and least favorite charter guests ever? “Dean Slover. He’s my charter soulmate. I just really know his preferences, he loves theme parties, he’s fun. My least favorite would probably be the woman who ordered all the mojitos: all of them, a lot of them, so many of them. And had us iron her Forever 21 polyester skirt.”
A caller asks who they’d each save if the ship was sinking. Lee says, “you can’t make choices like that. You save everyone.” Kate turns to Lee and says she would save him. Lee says “you and I would definitely be the last ones off.” Kate laughs and sort of half shakes her head no. She jokes, “A good captain goes down with his ship, but I’m not the captain!”
When a caller asks the secret to his long marriage, “to put your partner’s wants and needs above your own.” Maryann says “be married to your best friend. You have to have respect.” They laugh and agree when Andy says they also have “space” because Lee is gone on his charters.
Captain Lee says that he and Kelley really are gym buddies. “As often as I can get his ass out of bed in the morning.”
Captain Lee reveals that he was the captain on a charter for Beyonce and Jay-Z a few years ago in New York.
On handling Ben’s mood swings, Kate says “I’m used to them.” Lee admits that he is bothered by Ben’s behavior when he sees it watching the episodes.
Would Lee ever work with Trevor again? “no”
Which Housewife and their family would they want on charter? Kate says “I love Lisa Vanderpump. I think she’s elegant and cute and funny.” Lee says he votes for Lisa V, too.
When asked if he lets Ben get away with bad behavior, Lee says “Oh we’ve had our come to Jesus meetings.”
Poll: Do Ben and Emily have a future? 64% said YES.

The upcoming season of The Bachelor has been super controversial and highly talked about even though filming hasn’t even wrapped up yet. Ever since Nick Viall was chosen for the leading role, Bachelor Nation was super surprised by the decision and curious about what his season will have to offer. You don’t have to wait too much longer, Nick’s Bachelor season has an official premiere date- thank God.
Everyone wants to know what Nick’s season will be like. Even though Nick and host Chris Harrison are both waiting to see how it all ends up for the eternal runner-up, we at least have one thing set in stone and that is the start date for the upcoming season.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
The good news is that the Bachelor premiere date is two months away. We will get to watch Nick meet his ladies on January 2 on ABC. The bad news is that the fans have to wait two whole months. Considering how lightning quick the relationships move in this franchise, it’s tough having to let time pass to make anything happen, but I’m sure there will be plenty of clips, spoilers, and social media content on the way to tide the fans over until then.
Now we just have to hope that Nick finally found the one because if Nick ends up losing on his own season the fandom is going to have a total field day with it. As devoted as the Bachelor Nation is, Nick has been a pretty polarizing character over the years so I can’t wait to see how everything plays out with the editing and ultimately the fan perception.
No matter how things end up for Nick in the love department, I have a feeling that his season will be the most interesting one in a long time.
TELL US- DO YOU PLAN ON TUNING INTO THE BACHELOR PREMIERE IN JANUARY??

You're going to have to wait an extra week for new episodes of some of your favorite shows because they've been bumped from the schedule thanks to Game 7 of the Chicago Cubs-Cleveland...
Thank you, Lifetime! My prayers have been answered. Last night’s Dance Moms episode was only an hour long. Finally! I never thought this day would come! We are back to some semblance of structure. Abby Lee Miller is actually present for the pyramid! If that’s not enough, Jill Vertes gets to throw out her favorite word–favoritism–regarding the minis. It’s status quo once again!
In case you missed the first fifteen hours of this season, Jill is sick and tired of the mini team taking Abby’s attention away from Kendall and the elite team. However, she’s the loudest to cheer when Abby announces yet again that the minis’ latest group routine garnered the most points. In fact, it’s Holly Frazier who is first to challenge Abby regarding the drama surrounding last week’s competition. Kira happily joins in and Jill quickly stops cheering and starts chastising. Stacey, the only mini mom whose name I’ve chosen to learn, is very vocal about how horrible the veteran moms are. Lather, rinse, repeat, week after week, season after season.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
My recap of the mini’s pyramid is going to be quick because I’m really trying not to learn their names. On the bottom is Peyton and Alexia, followed on the middle rung by Elliana and Ariana. Lilliana takes the top spot for winning her solo. It’s a solid showing for the -Ianas for sure! Stacey laughs a lot like Shannon Beador, doesn’t she? Abby announces that this week’s routines will be a tribute to Muhammad Ali. Minis Lilliana and Peyton will be performing an acro duet entitled Sting Like a Bee. The minis are also granted a group routine. Unfortunately, Peyton won’t be participating because she continues to prove that she cannot dance in sync with her teammates. Abby hopes this will allow her to concentrate on the duet. Taking her cues from the veteran mothers–and then doing the exact opposite of what they would do–Peyton’s mom remains silent about the snub.
The elite team’s pyramid goes quickly, but not because I don’t know there names–it’s because Abby doesn’t want to give them the time of day. Rushing through, Abby announces that Kalani is on the bottom, Kendall and Nia are in the middle, and Brynn is on the top for winning her solo. Abby gives no critiques and is finished before she even starts. She hopes the elite team will be pacified by the fact they are granted a hip-hop routine for this competition, with two of her LA students joining the group to make up for a still absent JoJo Siwa. Do I need to learn these girls’ names as well? No? Great, thank you! Abby also announces that the elite team will be learning another hip hop dance and will be featured in an upcoming commercial. Kendall is excited about participating in the commercial because the male dancers they’ve brought in are incredibly cute. Abby is confident enough in her choreographers that she can joke about taking a spa day while someone else works with her students. Jill is equally perplexed, pissed, and relieved that Abby won’t be a part of this commercial.
Some poor assistant is tasked with bringing in the product that will be featured in the commercial, LED lit dance shoes called Electro Kicks. Clever! However, not as clever as Electro Lites which I plan to trademark immediately. The choreographer lectures the girls that they will be dancing with boys who are represented by the top agents in Los Angeles. Isn’t that what the girls want as well? They had better be up to the challenge! He’s already channeling his inner Abby Lee. With the elite team spoken for, Abby is able to focus on the mini duet. Even in its first rehearsal, it is absolutely adorable and Abby is thrilled. The mini mom is make sure to point out Abby’s excitement to the elite moms. Have they ever seen her so excited about a dance? Well played, mini moms. Well played.
As the older girls practice with their counterparts for the commercial, the mothers complain about how difficult the choreography is. These women are never satisfied! Holly cites it as a great opportunity, but she complains that Abby has given them only a day to learn this routine as well as their competition number. Likewise, the commercial’s choreographer is upset that the girls are not dancing up to their potential and to the talent of the guys. Jill is once again peeved that her gaggle is tasked with rebuilding the girls’ confidence while protecting their brands. MY BRAND! The following day, Abby keeps her focus on the mini team’s group routine. The mini moms take note of all the attention and are feeling the pressure. Meanwhile, the elite team is getting no love from their teacher, and the moms are frustrated. When it’s time for Abby to work with her veteran girls, she introduces their new teammates for the week. The girls are smiling halfheartedly, but they are clearly defeated at this point. I don’t just blame Abby though, their moms are the ones who have kept them in the situation!
Abby is very passionate about the Muhammad Ali tribute, but when the girls begin practicing their mothers realize that this dance is a hot mess. I’ll be honest, the boxing gloves make it a bit difficult to have sharp moves and stellar technique. The mothers are concerned with how slow the music is as well as how easy the choreography is. Jill doesn’t believe a tribute dance should be this cheesy, and that’s just what this is. As Abby admonishes the routine for being boring, she blames her dancers for being lazy instead of trying to improve the choreography. As rehearsals continue, the mini moms notice that their daughters’ routine is much harder than the elite teams dance. They are excited about the prospect of having their daughters do such a difficult number, and they are appreciative of Abby’s extra efforts. On the flip side, Jill is reminding the elite team just how horrible their group number is. Kalani questions why they are doing a dance in the first place, and Jill takes a poll. Who is in agreement that the group number should be shelved for the competition? Everyone raises their hands. Ashlee isn’t willing to diminish her daughter’s reputation in favor of Abby’s favoritism for the minis.
At the commercial shoot, the moms beg the choreographer to allow them to use his number for the competition. He’s no idiot, and he advises them to check with Abby first. Of course, with her permission, he’s happy to showcase his dance at the competition. When Abby arrives at the shoot, the moms exchange fake pleasantries with their daughters’ instructor. Despite the producer praising the girls for their skills and talent, Abby is full of criticism. It’s almost to the point where the producer doesn’t want her giving her input. The veteran moms decide this is a good time to pull Abby aside and propose a new group routine, the one from the commercial. Not surprisingly, Abby is insulted and appalled. How dare they?
On the day of competition, the mothers decide to channel their inner Muhammad Ali and stand up for what they believe in, which is not having their girls do the cheesy group number. The producer thankfully interrupts to preview a video of the previous day’s shoot. It’s a very cool spot with Kalani being front and center. She deserves it. The producer compliments the girls on their confidence, and Jill counters that the girls have been lacking self esteem in the recent weeks due to things that have been going on with in the studio. Abby basically stares lasers into Jill’s skull before storming out of the building. The mini duet goes first, and the girls are absolutely adorable. Such talent! Granted they are still six so there are some technique issues, but I’m forty and would break my neck attempting a forward roll. Basically, I’m not one to talk.
Before the elite team is set to perform, the two LA teammates and their mothers arrive. Awkward! The moms had already decided to use their commercial routine, and Abby’s LA students don’t know that choreography. Alas, Abby invited them anyway to let the veteran moms break the news that the new girls aren’t included. Jill and her coven are beyond pissed (and I don’t really blame them). There was no need for Abby to include these innocent dancers in the power play. A screaming match breaks out between Abby and Kira who tries to assure the LA moms that the exchange has nothing to do with their girls. The team bands together to bring to include the LA students into the number. Who doesn’t love these girls!?!
The mini group routine proves how deserving of this opportunity (is it an opportunity?) these girls are. They did an amazing job. Of course, the warm and fuzzies are short lived. Drama ensues when the director of the competition approaches the veteran moms to tell them they never registered the boys from the commercial for the competition. Therefore, the guys will not be able to dance with the elite team. Jill interrupts to say that Abby said she would register the boys, but he responds that she never did. Jill accuses Abby of being a liar, but at the end of the exchange both Abby and the director allow the boys to participate. Holly knows the team is capable of rocking out this group routine without any contribution from Abby, and they do, despite the last minute stage fright of one of their LA counterparts. Kira is sympathetic to the poor girl. She learned her dance in mere minutes. It’s not surprising that she wasn’t able to take the stage due to nerves.
Abby reveals that this competition only considers the highest scores. If Peyton’s duet doesn’t place, Abby believes she has sealed her fate on the mini team. Thankfully Peyton is safe with an overall win in the mini duet category. The minis also score the top spot for the group number. Unfortunately, the ALDC elite team doesn’t follow suit with a first place win. Ashlee and the other moms are disappointed given that the girls are in need of a morale boost. One of the mini moms is quick to point out that the veteran moms did not have enough faith and Abby and went rogue on their routine. As Abby walks away, the elite team and their mothers decide it might be the end of their working relationship. Kira suggest renting out their own studio in hiring another choreographer. Could this be the end of the AL DC?

Ever wondered what your favorite Bravolebrities get up to after dark, once the cameras have stopped rolling and it's time to really let loose? Well, wonder no more. With the launch of...
Teresa Giudice is recapturing the love and light – which means cutting out the Jacqueline Laurita. So desperate is Teresa to go back in time and re-write history, she reconnected with former enemy Danielle Staub for a little yoga.
Danielle and Teresa have a many storied history on Real Housewives Of New Jersey. Stories indeed – from accusations that Danielle conspired with Melissa to get her cast on the show by outing her feud with Teresa, to the infamous table flip and country club chase… well, namast’ay away from the gory details and do a lil downward dog instead!
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
“I never had any harsh feelings towards [Danielle],” Teresa insists. “I’m the type that if I have something to say, I’ll just say it – and that’s it, I forget about it and I move on. I don’t try to haunt your past or try to reach out to anyone – that’s not who I am.”
The Posche Fashion Show and Cop Without A Badge beg to differ… I trust Danielle as far as I can throw her, and she’s been desperate for a RHONJ for quite a while. I guess Teresa is just the girl to cajole her back!
Tereas claims it was never herrrrrr who wanted Danielle fired, actually. A point she made abundantly clear in between warrior poses and shoving Andy Cohen onto a reunion sofa!
“I wanted [Danielle] to also know I never wanted her off the show,” Teresa informed OMJFeed. “I know there was other women on the show who didn’t wanna work with her any longer – that never came from me. I would never take someone’s livelihood away from them.”
Along with burying hatchets and the past, Teresa will earn her yoga certification in January. So it’s “Miss Teacher” from now on! Teresa also does yoga with Audriana. “I’m trying to get Milania into it,” Teresa laughs, “because I feel like she needs to be a little bit more zen.”
Milania would rather focus on acting – she met with an talent agent who is interested. “She keeps telling me, out of all my daughters, that she wants to be in movies. And I’m not doing it with her, because I’m busy! I mean, I did it with Gia, and then Gia ended up not wanting to do that,” explains Teresa, “but Milania’s actually asking – like she wants to do it, so we’ll see where it goes from here.”
I think it’s great that Gia knows her own mind. She’s a smart girl. And Milania, well, she certainly amuses me more than anyone else on RHONJ.
OMJ also chatted with Dolores Catania about plastic surgery and the reunion.
“It was good,” Dolores says of the reunion. “It’s all been very natural and organic for me… because I know these girls. They’ve been a part of my life for so long that the cameras, for me, were never there.” ‘I think that’s code for never had any drama because I never had any storyline… ‘
Dolores had a Brazilian Butt Lift pre-reunion and was back for a little boob lift as a post-reunion reward. She’s not shy about her plastic surgery. “I think everyone should be honest, ” she shrugs. “I have done everything I’ve wanted to do – from my face, to my butt – all lipo – and now my boobs.”
Well looking good, and feeling good is the best revenge, on Real Housewives Of New Jersey and everywhere else I suppose.

The feud between Tamra Judge and Kelly Dodd has gone very real and very rogue and very off Real Housewives Of Orange County.
Being that it’s Tamra and Kelly, they can’t control their itchy social media fingers anymore than they can control their mouths. Kelly was the WWHL guest after the finale. Several callers lied to get through moderators, then live and on-air accused Kelly of having an affair with “Frank.” Andy was not happy. Following the show, Kelly posted incriminating screenshots showing Tamra communicating with the callers and supporting their efforts.
You can view our recap with original screenshots here.
Tamra, is of course in spin mode, back-pedaling and blaming a rogue Facebook group and insisting she was just as much an innocent victim of their actions. Because she’s a good Christian, it’s never her fault!

Here’s the backstory – so far: A FB group began hassling Kelly based on some text messages they somehow received (or intercepted) which feature Kelly allegedly admitting to Michael that she’s having an affair with this Frank.

The texts reportedly came from a woman Michael used to work with. Kelly admits she sent those texts, but insists they’re two years old and she was only making a Kelly-esque outlandish statement (Well, that I can believe) to piss off Michael out of jealousy because she believed he was flirting with the co-worker.
Kelly is now taking action against the “hater trolls.” WHO in their right mind devotes their personal life to stalking and harassing a reality television person they do not know?!
“Got my phone hacked with the fraud Dept. Going to get a private investigator and I’m going to sue & press charges!! Good luck Thunderdome,” Kelly tweeted.
Kelly explained that the leaked texts came from when she and Michael were still separated, but in the process of getting back together.
“2 yeas ago when I was getting bk/w Michael I saw text messages … I got jealous and said I was banging Frank 2 make him jelly.” Kelly described Frank as a family friend, who Michael is also close with. Kelly even tried to set Frank up with Vicki before she started dating Steve Lodge! “Frank was [Vicki’s] date to one of Meghan’s events,” wrote Kelly.
So that brings us to Tamra’s involvement. It all started with some direct messages sent from the “private Housewives underground page” to Tamra, Shannon Beador and others. “Shannon got hers first,” Tamra explains, smirking through a Facebook Live chat. “They were private messages between Kelly, her husband, and another girl named Katie.”

“I know all about Frank,” Tamra continued, “I even talked to Kelly about Frank…”
“Kelly’s phone number was on the text messages,” Tamra adds for veracity. “It’s not cool that she’s trying to blame me and Shannon. What I’m guilty of is that I responded back to one of them.”
Eddie is mad that Tamra engaged. “He said, ‘That’s gonna hurt your credibility…'” she shrugged, “But listen – don’t shoot the messenger!”
It doesn’t seem like Tamra was conspiring with the Facebook trolls, per se, but she was colluding to collect information and encouraging them to embarrass and taunt Kelly.
Tamra posted her conversation with the troll(s). She believes that person, or someone else, then screenshotted them and forwarded them to Kelly. (Cause KARMA!).
“Complete Bullshit,” whines Tamra. “I’m trying to keep quiet and not drop to her level. But enough is enough. I refuse to get blamed for her bad behavior, This is all very disgusting. As she continues to trash me on twitter I thought I would speak up and let you know what REALLY happened. #KEEPINGITREAL I really feel like I am lowering myself by posting this but I’m sick of being trashed by this girl.” Wait – what bad behavior did Kelly illustrate?
“I HONESTLY FEEL SORRY FOR HER!” Tamra continued, “but I will not be bashed on social media because people are contacting the cast about her bad choice”
Tamra continued trying to exonerate herself in a second post, where she apologizes for responding to the DMs. “There’s more to it,” she added in the comments. Arguing that she only engaged “in response” to Kelly’s actions, “Please this girl ripped us all up, you didn’t see the half of it. they had to soften her so the audience didn’t hate her guts even more.”
I really can’t even with Tamra anymore. I believe they call this ‘Lady Doth Protest Too Much’ syndrome, so good luck washing the ‘out damn spot’ off, Lady McHousewife.
RELATED – Some Housewives Started Tweeting…
Tamra just got done screaming in Vicki’s face to “STOP F–KING talking about people” in a rage that Vicki spread so-called lies to Kelly. So what exactly is Tamra doing?
I also find it hilariously suspicious that Shannon accused Kelly of having an affair earlier this season, and now, hmmm… just happens to be involved in ‘proof’ (I use that word loosely) surfacing of Kelly cheating. And who was the original source sending out the messages, I wonder?
Here are the rest of Tamra’s self-recriminations.
Seriously – Tamra’s pasture needs to ask for a refund on that baptism. Her dipping didn’t wash away the horns and pitchfork. Or maybe Heather needs to diagnose Tamra with a “psychotic break” or something? Next time lets dunk Tamra in a vat of Prozac to see if that improves things.

Also, Andy Cohen is adamant he had no knowledge about what was planned for WWHL. “If I knew there was something to ask I would’ve. I ask every other rude question,” he tweeted. Kelly added that no one should blame Andy for “Tamra’s wrongdoing.” Of course, Tamra blamed WWHL because they need to “screen the callers better.” Except she was encouraging said callers to try and get through and offering to help.
TELL US – IS TAMRA BEING UNFAIRLY BLAMED? OR WAS SHE INVOLVED IN TRYING TO SET KELLY UP?
Editor’s note: Let’s hope these rogue callers don’t ruin it for everyone else and Andy starts not allowing live caller questions…
