A review of The Partner’s premiere, ‘Ten candidates, one partner’

In its first episode, Marcus Lemonis' new CNBC series The Partner definitely reminded me of another show—but it was not The Apprentice, the show that this competition was immediately compared to when it was first announced last January. Read this story »

Dorit Kemsley On Peace Between Lisa Rinna And Kim Richards: “I Hope It Lasts!”

Dorit Kemsley On Peace Between Lisa Rinna And Kim Richards: "I Hope It Lasts!"

UNIVERSAL CITY, CA - JANUARY 17: Dorit Kemsley visits

Dorit Kemsley may be one of the newest additions on The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, but she seems to have learned the housewives diplomacy game quickly (Eden Sassoon, take note!). As evidence, her blog this week praises her allies and subtly shades her frenemies, yet doesn’t quite come out and accuse anyone of anything. Is Dorit playing fake politics? Or just playing it safe – and smart?

Dorit begins by praising good friend, Lisa Vanderpump, for her charitable work with animals . She begins, “I’m so happy to see that all the hard work Lisa V and Ken have been doing is making a difference for the puppies. She spoke at Congress, and now they’re about to open their first dog rescue. You can see the unstoppable drive, passion and determination in both of them. A fabulous place for tons of adorable puppies. I can’t wait to visit!”

CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR MORE!

Although she didn’t insert herself into the messy middle of Lisa Rinna and Kim Richards’ drama at Kyle Richards’ house, Dorit did bear witness to the throwdown. And lived to tell the story! She also ate a bite of cheesecake. Allegedly.

“I thought it was excellent to meet Carnie [Wilson] and hear about the concept of Love Bites. I love it, and the cheesecakes taste delicious! I was looking forward to hanging out with the girls again. I didn’t want to leave my darling Phoenix when she was crawling and going after my shoes. It was just too cute. She is definitely her mother’s daughter!” blogs Dorit.

Next, Dorit claims that she did suspect Rinna of saying pretty much all of the statements behind Kim’s back Eden had accused her of – thus, she wasn’t very surprised when Rinna finally fessed up.

“I knew that this could be quite an evening with everything that has been going on and was hoping for the best since we were merely there to support Kim and her soon to be born first grandchild. I honestly had a feeling that Lisa R did in fact say those things. All of us didn’t want any of it to be true, but it did happen.”

RELATED: Lisa Vanderpump Thinks Lisa Rinna Saying She Has Compassion For Kim Richards Is “Laughable” And “Ridiculous”

“I’m not aware of the full history between Lisa R and Kim,” continues Dorit who has obviously been fully briefed by LVP on EVERYTHING so I’m calling BS on that!, “but there are definitely some deep scars, and I’m very happy to see that they have started the healing and forgiveness process—let’s hope it lasts! Healing is the best way to move on, and I think this is the right step for everyone involved.” Now, about Kim’s twitter feed…

Dorit closes on a chipper note about Kim – who she barely knows, but expects to live happily ever after now that she has a grand baby. Mmkay. She writes, “Hopefully we can grow and move forward in a positive way, and I can’t wait to meet Kim’s first grandchild! She will no doubt be such a great grandmother.”

Tonight is an all new episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Kyle hosts a party at her store where Lisa Vanderpump’s invitations to Hong Kong get out of hand. The ladies gather at Villa Rosa for lunch, where Dorit tries to chip away Erika’s icy personality. After lunch, Erika flies back home to Georgia to see her mother and reconnect with her roots.

TELL US: IS DORIT PLAYING IT TOO SAFE WITH HER BLAND OPINIONS? OR JUST BEING SMART?

Joanna Krupa Defends Her Right To Post Nude Photos On Social Media & Refuses To Discuss The Brandi Glanville Lawsuit

Joanna Krupa 4th of July

joanna-krupa

Words cannot convey how done I am with this Joanna Krupa vs. Brandi Glanville lawsuit. I. Do. Not Care. Well it’s either that “smelly” vagina lawsuit or people being surprised that a lingerie/swimwear model posts nude/nearly nude photos. I don’t get the fascination with either.

Don’t get me wrong, Joanna is hot, but it just isn’t “news” to me. She has always been hot and she always will be hot. I don’t see why it’s at all controversial that she’s posting photos that show off her body. It is what she does. We should all be used to it by now, but apparently that’s not the case and Joanna is adamantly defending herself.

CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE

In a radio interview with Domenick Nati, Joanna discussed being proud of her body. Again. She preached, “If you’re proud of your body and somebody has a problem looking at your Instagram posts, they shouldn’t be following you. I think people love to shame bodies. I think that we as women should be proud of what we’ve accomplished. I go to the gym and work hard to keep in shape. Why can’t I post a photo to show that I’m very proud of my body?” There’s nothing wrong with being proud of her body, it’s just annoying that she constantly has to defend it. Why are people asking her the same question over and over again. She is hot. She works hard to be hot. We all know this.

Joanna continued, “And it’s my job. I have my own lingerie line here and I do bathing suits.” Not new information. She added,  “I think it’s easy to cyber bully people on social media because they hide behind their computers and people don’t see who it really is. There’s always going to be that one person who’s going to like hate. I don’t let it affect me at all. I just focus on my work and my happiness.” As she should. She should be able to post whatever she wants on social media.

Domenick baited Joanna to say something offensive when he asked if she thought it was “people who are unhappy with how they look so they attack [her] because [she’s] confident.” Thankfully Joanna, she didn’t fall for that one. She said, “It could be multiple things. It could be somebody who’s not very happy in their own skin” And then she said something pretty cringe-worthy, “Or somebody who’s not in the entertainment business and they don’t have the balls to post a sexy picture of themselves.” Ugh. She was doing so well with her answer up until that part.

The interview got kind of awkward when Joanna was asked about her husband’s opinion when it comes to the photos she posts and her portrayal in the media. Joanna said, “Seriously you never know what your other half is thinking. He always says to me that he’s proud of my hard work and my dedication to the gym, but at the end of the day you don’t know what they’re really thinking. I think they want to keep you happy and build your self-esteem and make you confident. It is something that he would have to be asked.”

Am I the only one who finds it odd that Joanna basically had no answer to this question? I figured it was something she would have a more definitive response to. I assumed that a couple would discuss something like this especially since Joanna is a model.

Domenick continued to instigate Joanna when he asked, “Do you still watch Real Housewives and which Housewife is your favorite?” Obviously, Joanna said, “I don’t really watch the franchise anymore so I wouldn’t be able to give an answer.” And she also made it a point to say, “That’s in the past.”

Clearly he was trying to get her to shade Brandi Glanville and since that didn’t work he asked a few questions about the lawsuit and Joanna said over and over again, “I can’t discuss it.” and “You would have to ask my attorney.” Shocking.

TELL US- DO YOU CARE THAT JOANNA KRUPA POSTS NUDE PHOTOS ON SOCIAL MEDIA? DO YOU THINK JOANNA IS BITTER ABOUT NOT BEING A HOUSEWIFE? WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON: BRANDI’S OR JOANNA’S?

‘Survivor: Game Changers’ Preview: Everything You Need to Know

SURVIVOR

SURVIVOR

Boom! And we’re back!  As the world seems to be crumbling down around us, with uncertainty and disparity filling the hearts of many, there’s one steady, reliable rock you can always count on:  Survivor!  On Wednesday, March 8, Survivor is back for its 34th season with an extra-long, 120-minute Premiere Episode, beginning at 8 pm (EST) on CBS. Yes, the one thing that I hear people ask me all the time from people who don’t watch the show is:  Survivor?!? That show is still on?!? Well not only is it on, but it’s going strong. Wednesday’s premiere marks the 500th episode of the show, the longest-running Reality Competition Show on TV, with no signs of stopping anytime soon.

For those counting, CBS released some unbelievable stats to celebrate the occasion:  Survivor has now been on for 17 (!!!) years, with 498 contestants competing over 18 countries, 110 tribes and 1290 days, and the show has earned 56 Emmy nominations. There have been 46 states represented (can you guess which four have not?) and they’ve recorded over 99,000 hours of footage. There have been 14 medical evacuations, 511 torches snuffed and 48 hidden Immunity Idols used. The oldest player (Rudy Boesch) was 76 and the youngest (Will Wahl) was 18. Counting Sandra‘s double-win, there have been 19 male and 14 female winners crowned as Sole Survivor.

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

Not that anyone’s counting of course.

All of this culminates in Season 34, “Survivor: Game Changers,” a so-called “all-star” season that will see 20 returning players come back to compete for the ultimate prize of one million dollars and that elusive title. I’m here to get you set and ready for this season, so buckle in and let’s talk some Survivor!

So first off, I welcome back those that followed me last season, my first covering the show at RealityTea, and offer you up a bit of an introduction. Heck, if you like Survivor, we’ll be spending a good deal of time together the next few months, so you might as well get to know who’s voice your reading/listening to (more on the “listening” angle later). For my long-time fans, you know that I’ve covered Survivor professionally for the now defunct Examiner.com as the “Survivor Examiner” since Season 20, “Heroes vs. Villains.” I’ve interviewed all of the big names in the Survivor Universe, and I’m the only web-based member of the Survivor Press Corp to be a part of the Executive Voting Committee for the Survivor Hall of Fame (even though my continuous support to induct Survivor: Thailand” winner, Brian Heidik, still seems to be falling on deaf ears).

The Stakes Have Been Raised

I sure do appreciate your support, and I may be biased but I do think that the Survivor community is one of the absolute best, most loyal and fervent, TV-show communities out there…it’s been an honor and a dream to be a part of it in this capacity for so long. With my coverage here at RealityTea, you can expect the following all season long:

  • Weekly Episode Preview Article – Every Wednesday morning, get caught up and back up-t0-speed as I preview the night’s new episode, often with exclusive clips or content.
  • Weekly Episode Recap/Analysis – Join back late every Wednesday night following the episode for my full reaction and recap…I’m on the East Coast so sometimes my Recap does post before the West Coast airing, but I try to keep all spoilers out of my headlines and before the article break.
  • NEW This Season:  Exclusive weekly Exit Interviews –  Last season I did not do Exit Interviews, but this season, you can expect Exit Interviews each and every Thursday – usually by late afternoon/evening – with each contestant voted-out of the show. I get 15-minutes, one-on-one, with every cast-away, so if you do have questions you would like me to ask, please leave them in the comment section on the Recap article.
  • NEW – FilmSurvivor Podcast – Best of all, this season I will be podcasting the FULL Exit Interviews each and every week! That means you can hear the actual interviews that I do, and they’ll be posted right here on RealityTea. I’ll be podcasting more than just the Exit Interviews, with occasional “Bonus” podcasts mixed in as well, like next week’s “Premiere Episode Recap” podcast with special guest, Gordon Holmes from XfinityTV.com.
  • Movie Reviews:  And lastly, for those that like or want to support my writing or voice, you may be happy to know that I’m also the National Film Critic for AXS.com, where I write weekly movie reviews on all of the latest movies hitting theaters, and I also appear on two TV shows in the Mid-West:  The syndicated “Movie Show Plus” (check local listings) and also on “Critic LEE Speaking” on FOX-2 in Detroit.

The Stakes Have Been Raised

Now didn’t I promise we’d chat about the upcoming season? Let’s get at it:  Survivor: Game Changers. The title itself can be taken with a grain of salt, as some of the returning players not only didn’t “change the game,” but you’ll be hard-pressed to remember them. Others though, well, it was only a matter of time until they’d be back.

Here’s the run-down of who is on the show, separated by their starting tribes this season:

SURVIVOR

The “Mana” Tribe:

Michaela Bradshaw – Previously Played On: Season 33: Millennials vs Gen X – Finished 14th. You may remember, she was an absolute beast at challenges but sort of played the game a bit too hard, revealing her hand strategically and leading to her demise…you may also remember that death glance she shot Jay once blindsided.

Aubry Bracco – Season 32: Brains vs Brawn vs Beauty – Runner Up. Everybody seemed to love Aubry and many thought she should have been crowned winner over Michele Fitzgerald.

Sandra Diaz-Twine – Season 7: Pearl Islands – Winner, Season 20: Heroes vs. Villains – Winner. It’s hard to argue that the game’s ONLY two-time winner isn’t the game’s best player…but it’s a debate that has raged on for years. Sandra puts her reputation on the line playing the game for a third time.

Ciera Eastin – Season 31: 2nd Chances – Finished 10th, Season 27: Blood vs. Water – Finished 5th & Jury Member. Ciera is probably most remembered for having voted out her own mother, and forcing a rock draw. She’s a tough and memorable player, getting her third chance at the game in the past four years.

Malcolm Freberg – Season 25: Philippines – Finished 4th & Jury Member, Season 26: Caramoan – Finished 9th & Jury Member. Everybody loves Malcolm and remembers him, so what can I add?

Hali Ford – Season 30: White, Blue, No Collar – Finished 11th & Jury Member. Of all of this year’s cast, the inclusion of Hali seemed to be the real head-scratcher. A “game-changer”?  Many don’t even remember who she was. Hali was a no-collar player who did make the jury, and recently Jeff Probst called her the hottest girl ever to play the game…will her relative anonymity be a virtue for her this season?

Caleb Reynolds – Season 32: Brain vs. Brawn vs. Beauty – Medically Evacuated.  Another head-scratcher, as Caleb – as likable and loyal as they come – never even attended a single Tribal Council during his medical-evacuated season. But those that remember him as “Beast-Mode Cowboy” from Big Brother know that there is a lot more to Caleb than meets the eye.

Troyzan Robertson – Season 24: One World – Finished 8th & Jury Member. Good ole Troyzan was passed over during the “Second Chance” fan pick-em season, but this guy was a beast during his original run, in a season that was dominated by strong women.

Jeff Varner – Season 2: Australia – Finished 10th out of 16 & Non-Jury, Season 31: 2nd Chances – Finished 17th. Everybody was happy to see “old-schooler” Varner return for “Second Chance,” and he instantly made us all feel proud of the decision. Varner was pure joy to watch on TV, and a real character…he’s sure to be a fan-favorite once again this year.

Tony Vlachos – Season 28: Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty – Winner. A recent “Survivor Hall of Fame” inductee, Tony is known as one of the best winners in the “new-school” era of the game. Sure, he created the spy-shack and sure, he does a mean llama impression, but Tony’s aggressive game-play and style will likely make him a humongous target this time around. We’ll see how good this guy really is now that the word is out that he’s a cop who isn’t afraid to outwit or outplay.

SURVIVOR

The “Nuku” Tribe:

Andrea Boehlke – Season 22: Redemption Island – Finished 5th & Jury Member, Season 26: Caramoan – Finished 7th & Jury Member. Andrea’s a great player who was once the only serious threat to Boston Rob’s game…it’s now been four years since her last time out though, so we’ll see how that changes her approach.

Brad Culpepper – Season 27: Blood vs. Water – Finished 15th out of 20. In exit press, Brad was always very frustrated that he was a part of a “loved one” season…not because he didn’t like playing with his lovely wife, Monica, but because he felt like that distracted him from playing his own game…and rightly so. Now is the former NFL player’s chance.

Sierra Dawn-Thomas – Season 30: White, Blue, No Collar – Finished 5th & Jury Member. Another that can go in the “head-scratcher” category, Sierra played a relatively safe game and didn’t do anything all that memorable…oh well.

Cirie Fields – Season 12: Panama – Finished 4th & Jury member, Season 16: Micronesia – Finished 3rd & Jury member, Season 20: Heroes vs. Villains – Finished 17th. One of the game’s all-time greats, and another Survivor Hall of Famer, Cirie is now getting her fourth chance to take home a win. She was the original example Probst always used to display how people can just “get off the couch” and go play Survivor. Well Cirie is always a threat to win, and one of the most socially-aware players the game has maybe ever seen…when she played the game the last time however, every other returning player around her knew that they couldn’t let Cirie slide. Will this group be as unforgiving?

Sarah Lacina – Season 28: Brains vs Brawn vs Beauty – Finished 11th & Jury Member. Sarah may not have been on the top of everyone’s list of players they’d like to see play again, but I for one am happy with this pick. Sarah was a tough customer and as a cop herself, was one of the only players that was able to sniff out Tony’s lies during her season. She didn’t quite have the social game to overcome Tony’s though, so we’ll have to see if she can up her game this time around.

Oscar “Ozzy” Lusth – Season 13: Cook Islands – Runner-up, Season 16: Micronesia – Finished 9th & Jury Member, Season 23: South Pacific – Finished 4th & Jury Member. Another “iconic” old-schooler, Ozzy is simply one of the most dominant physical threats the game has ever seen…but he’s now 35 and has been out of the game for over five years. He’s always fell short socially, and I’m not sure you can change stripes so easily, but Ozzy will be given a fourth chance to do just that.

Zeke Smith – Season 33: Millennials vs Gen X – Finished 9th & Jury Member. Zeke was clearly one of the stand-outs last season, and phenomenally, he went from fan-favorite to villain over the span of just a few episodes. Is Zeke likable? Is he someone you’re rooting against? He’ll have the advantage in that none of these other players – save Michaela – know anything about him (his season aired after this season taped last Summer).

James “JT” Thomas – Season 18: Tocantins – Winner, Season 20: Heroes vs. Villains – Finished 10th. Now here’s a solid game-changer…JT won the game, being pulled through some would say by the more strategic Stephen Fishbach back in Tocantins, but JT that season put up the first Survivor “Perfect Game,” meaning that he won by unanimous vote, while at the same time having never had received any votes against him throughout the course of the season. His second-time out, he hysterically miscalculated Russell Hantz and slipped him a hidden Immunity Idol during a challenge…only to be voted out post-merge. But even though that move blew up in his face, nobody can ever say he wasn’t trying to change up the game.

Tai Trang – Season 32: Brain vs. Brawn vs. Beauty – 2nd Runner-up. Tai was one of the clear all-stars to emerge out of Season 32, who controversially sided with the two bullies that season (Jason and Scot). As frustrating as some of his in-game decisions were, he also brought us Mark the Chicken, and seemed to be the purest, nicest of guys. Has Tai grown in the game?  Will he adopt any island pets? Will he stay true to any of his alliances? Tai is definitely a game-changer, just his mere presence gives the game an air of unpredictability.

Debbie Wanner – Season 32: Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty – Finished 9th. Some called her “female Coach,” the tribe “crazy lady” who had more stories than she did days in the game.  Debbie though, proved to be a savvy player, who was able to use her eccentricities to go deep in the game. In a game full of huge personalities, Deb will either be right at home this season, or will try to go even bigger and make herself an early target.

The Stakes Have Been Raised

What else do we know about this season? Well, don’t think it’s called “Game Changers” just because of its players. Jeff Probst also promises several twists and turns that will be sure to keep this attentive cast on their toes. First and foremost, Probst has announced that there is a big change to the way that tie-breakers will be handled at Tribal Council, in that there won’t be any. Yes, there will no longer be a re-vote after a tie vote, and if in that moment the tribe can’t unanimously decide which person to send home, then those two will be safe and the remaining players will immediately draw rocks. They are also going to changing up how hidden Immunity Idols are introduced into the game, getting away from any “patterns” that the players could pick up on…like looking in reward baskets, or knowing like last season that they would be found in painted coconuts.

If you scrolled down to the end, I’ll make this simple: Follow me on Twitter @tomsantilli or by going to TomSantilli.com, and then tune in to CBS this Wednesday, March 8, for the two-hour Premiere Episode of “Survivor: Game Changers.” It’s going to be epic, and I’ll be here all season bringing you episode previews, full recaps and reaction, and exclusive exit interviews every week, including podcasts where you can hear the entire interview.

I’m so excited to be back, and I look forward to what will surely be another awesome season!

And here’s a bonus: Enjoy the first seven minutes of the Premiere Episode here!

Jax Taylor Discusses Scheana Marie Shay Blocking Him On Social Media; Kyle Cooke & Carl Radke Dish On The Summer House Drama

jax-wwhl

jax-wwhl

It was only a matter of time until Andy Cohen had Jax Taylor on Watch What Happens Live with Carl Radke and Kyle Cooke.  I love all of these Vanderpump Rules and Summer House crossovers. It was inevitable that the night was going to get inappropriate and sexual with the questions from Andy and the viewers.

The three of them had a lot to say about all of the drama we have seen on TV and what is currently going on in real life.

CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE

Interestingly enough, Lauren Wirkus was sitting in the WWHL audience, so Andy asked her directly about her summer hookup with Carl. He said, “Watching the show, it kind of seems like Carl was dicking you around a little bit, no?” Considering that Lauren was there, I assumed she was there as Carl’s personal guest and I assumed she would blindly defend him, but she actually said, “I mean, you think you could say so,” so Carl had no choice but to admit, “I was dicking around.” The audience definitely agrees with this sentiment. Sorry, girl.

Andy asked Jax to give his take on all of the Pump Rules couples. I’m sure Jax will receive some angry texts from Kristen Doute and/or Brian Carter in response to this WWHL episode. When he was asked if they would go the distance, Jax had zero hesitation when he replied, “No. I love them both. I think it’s great, but if you’re asking me a yes or no question: no, I don’t think so.”

Even though he shit on Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz’s relationship throughout the season, Jax said, “They have a lot to work through. I think they still have a lot to work through, but I think they’ll make it.” Ariana Madix has said several times that she does not want to get married to Tom Sandoval, so it’s not at all surprising that Jax said, “As far as getting married, probably not. I think they will make it, yes.”

When Jax was asked about James Kennedy and his lady Raquel Leviss, he said, “Who?” Shade thrown.

Andy instigated Jax by asking about “LaLa [Kent] and her taste in men.” Obviously she’s not going to be pleased by him saying, “I mean which one in the moment, right? I mean, which NFL team? I’m sorry. I didn’t say that out loud did I?”  Eh, not your funniest quip, Jax.

Andy also made it a point to ask Jax about single Stassi Schroeder and if he had any advice for her. Jax actually had nothing but nice things to say about his most famous ex: “You’ve got to give her an A for effort. She’s trying. I think she’s on every dating website there is. She’s doing awesome and you’ve got to give it to her. She makes fun of herself and she’s humble this year. She’s awesome so we wish her luck.” They have come a long way in their relationship.

A viewer asked Jax if he is jealous about Lisa Vanderpump’s interest in opening up a new restaurant for Tom Sandoval to run. Jax said, “No, not at all. We’ve all talked about it. We all think it’s a great idea. The bar thing is Tom’s schtick. He loves all that. I think he’s going to go for something like that down the line.”  He also added, “As far as Schwartz being a part of it, I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

The focus moved to Summer House when Kyle and Carl were asked, “Cristina [Gibson] got a lot of flack for causing drama in the house, but don’t you think Stephen [McGee] was a bigger instigator?” Kyle answered, “I think that when you spend that much time together and you’re not necessarily involved in the actual drama, you might get involved somehow some way.” He said it in such a nice tone, but was he shading Cristina?

Andy pushed them to address the Stephen part of the question by saying, “Do you guys regret sharing and being so open with him?” Stephen’s bromance partner Carl said, “No, I mean boys club. Stephen’s great.” Kyle said what I’ve been thinking this whole season: “He’s comic relief. We need that. I can’t provide all of it.” Instigator or not, Stephen provides some much-needed laughs on this show.

A caller asked the Summer House guys who was more annoying when they argued: Everett [Weston] and Lindsay [Hubbard] or Lindsay and Cristina?

Talk about Sophie’s Choice with that one. As a viewer, I would say it’s a tie, and Kyle echoed that sentiment with “They really pass the torch back and forth.” He did eventually answer the question though: “I would say just because they broke my number one rule of no couples in the summer house: Lindsay and Everett.” Which was kind of awkward since Everett was in the audience, but both answers make sense. On the other hand, Carl didn’t have to come up with some sort of bull shit reasoning to answer this question. He said, “Cristina. All day,” with absolute certainty.

I totally understood the caller who asked Carl, “Do you think you’re the Jax of Summer House?” Weirdly enough, Carl admitted, “If I could be Jax, I would totally be honored.”

Kyle, Jax, and Carl all sipped their drinks to confirm that they’ve all had threesomes, dated a friend’s ex girlfriend, had sex in public, done cocaine, have been arrested, and messed around in an Uber. As a faithful viewer of Summer House and Vanderpump Rules, I expected all of those answers. I have to admit that I was shocked when Carl sipped in confirmation for having a foursome and a fivesome. Even Andy asked, “Really, Jax?”in response to Jax saying he’s never had a foursome.

Obviously Andy was baiting Jax when he asked the group if they’ve ever ‘taken a dip in the man pond,’ but they all said no to that one. Jax also said that he’s never “used his celebrity status to get laid,” which I did not believe for one second and neither did Andy since he implored, “Jax, come on.” Weirdly enough, Carl and Kyle both said that they’ve never hooked up with “fans,” but their show is still in the first season, so I guess it’s not too crazy that they haven’t. And then Andy pointed out that Kyle’s ex Amanda Batula was in the audience which explained the lack of fan hookups for Kyle.

Kyle gave a super vague answer about his status with Amanda: “You know, August was the month of soul searching and it was an eventful summer. I’m slowly figuring myself out.”

Jax was asked about his friendship with Scheana Marie Shay since she recently revealed that she blocked him on all of her social media accounts. Jax revealed, “We made up. That was last week, so talk to me next week.” Ain’t that the truth.

Jax vaguely continued, “We kind of went through a little tiff. I was hungover and when I’m drunk I kind of go and text everybody the next morning and go on a tangent, so I kind of did that and went off on her. So yeah, we’re fine now. We made up.” I guess Jax is giving Katie a run for her money with the rage texting.

A viewer asked Jax about his biggest regret from Vanderpump Rules and his proudest moment. Jax admitted, “I would have to say is a toss up between the glasses and the Tom Sandoval situation.” Well, that was not at all specific. Andy interjected and started to say something about him sleeping with Kristen and Jax just owned it and said, “Sleeping with my best friend’s girlfriend probably is up there.” Yep. And immediately after revisiting that awful era in Jax behavior he said his proudest moment was “dating Brittany [Cartwright].” Aaaww. I just hope he doesn’t mess this one up.

The episode basically ended with Jax passing the torch to the Summer House cast when Kyle was asked about how many nights he actually went to bed solo and he said, “Probably one or two.” Jax immediately replied, “I miss the first season of my show.” So do I, Jax. So do I.

Vanderpump Rules Recap: Have I Told You That I Love You?

Tom & Ariana do the Annual SUR photoshoot

Tom & Ariana do the Annual SUR photoshoot

On last night’s Vanderpump Rules tormented lovebirds Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz fixed everything and now their relationship is perfect. All it took was a little tough love from Lisa Vanderpump.

In the land of SUR and SURvival, all amounts to one’s role in the annual photoshoot where themes range from nearly naked, naked, to naked with accompanying awkward sexual encounters. This year Lisa is trying to take that up a notch by adding a last supper of hedonism complete with a fake roasted pigs and grapes on Ariana Madix‘s butt. BUT more on that later – Lisa’s first order of business is to ask Katie why on earth she and Tom 2 went on a vacation and spent the entire time in an extended “flare up”?

Seriously why does Katie call their arguments flare-ups? It makes it sound like a herpes outbreak.

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

Anyway, Lisa is not feeling too positively about the future of this marriage even as Katie insists she and Tom 2 will “bottle up” all their issues until after the tie the knot. Which is less than two weeks away, so… more flare-ups coming soon!

Tom & Katie ask Lisa to officiate their wedding

However Lisa is made of magical swan poop and honeyed words that when spoken, like a cat’s tongue bath, wash all the grime away. Tom and Katie visit her at Villa Rosa with the distinct honor of requesting she officiate their wedding. To ask they hired a ‘cryer’ (like something from a freaking renaissance faire) to knock on Lisa’s door, bellow in her face, and put all the swans to shame with his honking.

RELATED – Stassi Talks Online Dating & Psycho Exes!

I mean, who would react positively to that? Who would honestly not question the mental health and wellness of the people asking them to officiate their wedding? Add to that their constant ‘flare-ups’ and everything else about Katie and Tom’s general lack of love, kindness, or happiness towards one and another – the only right response was to give pause (Or paws in Lisa’s case.) And paws she does!

Tom & Katie get a reality lesson from Lisa

Lisa point-blank informs them that they’re a hot mess who frankly she doesn’t even think should be getting married at this point, and since Lisa obviously takes marriage very seriously is not gonna be part of this shitshow charade if they can’t pull it together. Then everyone had a good cry, and Tom and Katie left with some homework to try and actually love each other. They promised to work very, very hard so they could raise their grade from a D to a C.

And just like that: POOF! They’re happy as pastas in sauce. Literally. After years of fighting non-stop; threatening to cancel the wedding, screaming that d–ks don’t work, etc, Tom and Katie are now wrapped in a cocoon of Pauly Shore movies and PastaFresh – and who needs summer bodies when you’re smothered in all that downy love?

They even had sex! Real sex without the aroma of burning taquitos or uhhh… other burning. And it was good sex! For like the first time ever. In fact, Katie decides she’s gonna actively achieve a “fat sex” body just for sharing her love with Tom. Well, I mean, it’s good to have goals!

Later Tom 2 and Katie Too go to the beach with the group and gushed about the total eclipse of their hate which lead to the total epiphany of the heart they experienced after talking to Lisa.

Tom 1 is dubious, but he’s also glad Lisa told them what everyone else had been thinking, but was too afraid to utter for fear that Katie would scalp off their extensions to turn into a whip to further destroy Tom 2 with. So while the winds blew on the shore, and Scheana Marie Snapchatted her life away in the background, Tom and Katie vowed to love each other more than they love tequila. Let’s hope it sticks!

Stassi Schroeder also has goals: to meet a man who’s not a “psychopathic bartender that steals sandwiches from a gas station.” Man, does Jax Taylor have an affinity for sandwiches! The dude has 3 braincells and 2.5 of them think only about sandwiches.

Stassi tries online dating

To accomplish said goal, Stassi is getting on allllll the online dating apps. It works – Kristen Doute met Carter online so that’s proof! If KRISTEN can find someone, anyone can right? As Kristen implores us, “Be a little more open minded. Bitch.” Thank you – I will. (eye roll). Kristen helps Stassi writer her profile, in which they decide to list all her flaws right away, and at the end add that she loves “Ranch Dressing” – just to prove that she’s not all evil.

RELATED – Life & Love Advice From Kristen?

Stassi had one date that resulted in a Steve Jobs comparison an all-night make-out, the second one is a blind date with a very nice man who was so totally afraid of either the cameras or Stassi that he was rendered shell-shocked. Stassi dismisses him as “not murder-y enough.” See, Stassi doesn’t want a man who steals sandwiches, sex tapes, or one’s soul, but she does want a man that’s a little devastating. Like maybe, perhaps, “man-slaught-ery,” which is actually a good qualifier for Stassi – she is seeking her equal. She likes to socially man-slaughtery (or girlslaughtery) her friends and co-horts, so naturally she deserves an accomplice befitting of her affections.

Among the highlights of the date, Stassi informs him that she can’t possibly find time to go outdoors or exercise because she needs to sleep a lot – since that’s what makes her so pretty.

Lisa and Ariana go horseback riding which was quite glamorous and lovely to look at. Lisa decorates her horse like it belongs to Barbie, and while astride they discuss the evolution of Tom and Katie. Ariana observes that for the first time, like, ever Katie is acting like a human being and not a rage-filled hyena. Lisa is impressed with this progress. Then Lisa wonders when Ariana is gonna consummate things with Tom 1 and bring little Tom 0.5’s into the world. Ariana’s answer? Not ever.

Peter gets spray tanned

Meanwhile the boys are having a spray tan summit led by none other than Tom 1, of course. Jax refuses to partake and then gets the nervies about spray tan juice getting all over his pristine apartment – cleaned by Brittany Cartwright I presume. The highlight was seeing Peter Madrigal in a speedo. The lowlight was seeing Tom 2 in saggy-bottomed, stretched out boxer briefs.

The SUR photoshoot

Then everyone meets back at SUR for the annual photoshoot. Which strangely, oddly, in no sensical way Tom 2 is a part of. Even though he doesn’t work there, never has, once had a panic attack at the thought, and I am positive there are some hot 20-something boys employed there who would be swooningly lovely in the photos. This year’s theme theme includes a fake pig roast and lots and LOTS of Tom 1 wardrobe changes. He is giddy with glee, hopping up and down and clapping his hands at the all the rows and rows of glorious clothes! I actually think he and Ariana looked super hot in their photo.

Scheana cries to Katie

Nu-Tom and Nu-Katie canoodle in the corner and self-congratulate themselves on all the amazing changes they’ve made in just two-days or less. In fact, Katie is so transformed, she even allows a tearful Scheana Marie to grovel and beg to be allowed to assist in helping with final wedding details. Now that is progress!

So after stringing them along for the looooong, agonizing, excruciating two days, Lisa agrees to officiate their wedding once she learns that they finally figured out how to kiss each other and say “I love you.” I mean they were almost forced to rely on Jax to get ordained and preside over things! Tom 2 seems shocked that it was even possible to crack the rage-encased veneer of Katie’s heart. BabySteps… BabySteps… BabySteps… just put your fishy in a baggy and BabyStep to the divorce court altar, Tom 2!

Lisa says yes to Katie & Tom

I think it’s wonderful that Tom and Katie are finally – two weeks before they tie the knot – working on their relationship, but it’s pretty ridiculous for them to behave as if they’ve fixed all the problems following a few magical words from Lisa and one day at the beach which included booze but didn’t end in fighting. Thereinlies their problem over and over again – Tom and Katie have unrealistic expectations, and they don’t actually fix anything! They just put an $18 monogrammed tea towel over their eyes until the spinning stops, then go on to repeat the same pattern.

Katie finally secured an apology from Tom for cheating. She smugly accepted before promising to truly, actually like for-realz this time, swearing on a stack of Jax’s bro-bras and beer bottles, that she has forgiven him. But I’m predicting the next ‘flare-up’ is just around the corner, and Tom’s possible cheating will continue to be Katie’s convenient excuse. Am I just a cynic?

Well at least we received some well-honed advice from Tom 1 on how to conceal a boner during a photoshoot. #Perks.

TELL US – DO YOU BELIEVE KATIE AND TOM ARE TRULY MAKING A CHANGE? SHOULD LISA HAVE AGREED TO OFFICIATE THE WEDDING?
