Luann D’Agostino And Bethenny Frankel Are Disgusted By Ramona Singer; Tired Of Her Shenanigans
If there’s one thing Ramona Singer excels at it’s bringing unlikely frienemies together to marvel at her crazy. It even worked on Bethenny Frankel and Luann D’Agostino, who both agree that the Singer Stinger has no place at Luann’s wedding. Or in their lives for that matter.
Good lord – Ramona was SO clueless in the latest episode of Real Housewives Of New York that even I’m shocked. Ramona begged Luann for invite to the wedding, just so she could turn her down? She actually told people this! Yet she’s still upset that Luann decided “no way” on inviting her?
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
“If you were me, would you invite Ramona to your wedding?” Luann quips. “What if your friend said to you that she wanted to be invited yet had no intention of actually attending your wedding? Confused? Me too. When Ramona blurted out that mutual friends were placing bets on if we would make it down the aisle, I’d had enough of her shenanigans and explained to her that this is exactly why she wasn’t on the guest list.”
RELATED – It’s That Singer Stinger!
Ramona’s instability is exactly why Luann doesn’t trust one of the appropriate multiple-pinot-personlaities to appear anyway. “I don’t want any drama at my wedding, and including Ramona would be risky,” she writes in her Bravo blog. “She might be calm and happy or she could decide to let her freak flag fly. You just never know.” And you just never want to!
Even Bethenny couldn’t agree more. “What Ramona said to Luann, who I have no love lost with, was hard to believe, yet so typical of her that it was easy to believe after all,” she scoffs. “To so insensitively talk about wagering over someone’s marriage was staggering.” Well, I mean, didn’t Bethenny do the same thing last season? But I digress as the hypocrisy of Housewives is such a given.
After Ramona’s poor communication skills sloshed onto everything, Bethenny decided the best way to deal is to avoid her completely. “I simply don’t want to be around Ramona.”
“You can see where lines have been drawn and some possible irreparable damage being done,” Bethenny adds. “I didn’t go to Ramona’s party. I would make that decision again were it tomorrow.” And miss Tru-Renewal 35,000?! But there may be gift bags!?
“From my perspective and based on my personal values, her behavior has always spoken for itself,” blogs Bethenny. “This trajectory is simply reprehensible. Typically, if I don’t want anything to do with someone, I don’t show up at their party. As direct as I am about that, I am equally as direct about my wishing her health and happiness, love and light.”
Bethenny is equally disgusted by Ramona’s “bizarre attempt at communicating with me” which “was masked by the deranged faces she was making while talking at me.” After that Bethenny had enough and walked out.
“It is time to let this one go for now,” Bethenny concludes. “Maybe I will get to a different place.”
RELATED – Does Ramona Want Luann To Embarrass Herself?
On tonight’s episode of Real Housewives of New York, Bethenny and Dorinda go furniture shopping and Bethenny opens up about her apartment dramas. Meanwhile, Ramona turns to a more mature source for advice – her daughter Avery, and Tinsley, Ramona, and Sonja go out on the town where Tinsley is warned by Sonja to avoid cougar-ing! Finally, Dorinda hosts a charity event where Bethenny and Tom come face-to-face for the first time, and Carole receives intel from one of Luann’s ‘friends’ that things aren’t so perfect between the couple. Will no one let Luann and Tom alone?! Seriously – girls, get a life!

Survivor: Game Changers Episode 13 Preview: Two More Tribal Councils
We have reached the penultimate episode of Survivor: Game Changers and it looks to be a doozy. Heading into tonight, there are still eight contestants, three hidden Immunity Idols, a Legacy Advantage, and a “Steal-A-Vote” Advantage in play, so all signs point to a strong and dramatic finish.
That will be evident tonight, when not one but TWO players will be sent to the jury during the show’s two Tribal Councils. It is not a two-hour “double” episode, but will instead feature two Tribal Councils in the show’s normal one-hour time-slot. That means that you can expect a fast-pace tonight as we dwindle the numbers down to the final six players that will have made it to next week’s Survivor: Game Changers finale.
To get caught up before heading into tonight’s new episode – you can access last week’s podcast here. You can also read last week’s recap here.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Last week, Cirie and Andrea inched another step closer to winning it all, taking out Sierra Dawn Thomas who, along with Brad Culpepper, represented the other power-duo remaining in the game. Cirie and Andrea are firmly aligned with Aubry, with Sarah, Michaela and Tai somewhere in the middle. In the cross-hairs, you have Culpepper and his silent partner-in-crime, Troyzan, who still clings to an Immunity Idol that he found way earlier in the game.
Just to set the deck straight, Tai still has two Idols in his possession, and Sarah now has the “Legacy Advantage” – willed to her by Sierra last week, despite the fact that Sarah was the one responsible for Sierra going home – and she also has her “Steal-A-Vote” advantage, which allows her to steal and then use a Tribal Council vote from another player. The Legacy Advantage, you may recall, is basically an Immunity Idol that can only be played when there are six people left in the game, so we won’t see it in use tonight, although if Sarah is voted out tonight we will see her passing it along to yet another player who will use it next week.
CBS sets us up for tonight’s episode with the following synopsis:
“Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow” – Only six castaways will remain after two shocking tribal councils, and castaways pour their hearts into a challenge that could be the key to their safety, on the penultimate episode of SURVIVOR, Wednesday, May 17 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on CBS.
What must happen at some point is that either Sarah will realize that the power couple of Cirie and Andrea need to get broken up, or Sarah will be gotten to first…there is simply no way that Cirie and Andrea will allow her to reach Final Three. Last week’s preview hinted that Cirie may have to turn on someone, and that someone might be Michaela, who she has befriended (one of the few people that Michaela feels any loyalty to in the game). Unless Culpepper wins Immunity, I could see him being the target, as the others will not want to sit next to him at the end either, and being strong in challenges, nobody is going to want him to go much deeper. So the obvious picks tonight might Culpepper and Michaela, but with all of the other factors and Idols and whatnot, it’s really anybody’s guess.
It’s going to be a big week on the Podcast this week when I will have interviews with BOTH people voted out tonight…but it’s going to be even bigger next week with my super-sized “Finale Edition” of the FilmSurvivor Podcast, where I will have interviews with all six of the final contestants, including the winner of Survivor: Game Changers. In the weeks ahead, we will peek towards Season 35, beginning in the Fall on CBS, and we’ll break-down this past season from all angles…we’ll also pivot to discuss tons of Summer movies that you won’t want to miss, and I have several interviews lined up throughout the Summer to keep us all pacified until we see Jeff Probst again next September.
As is custom at the end of every season, sometime after the Finale you can also look for my updated “Most Memorable Seasons of Survivor” and “Best Survivor Winners” lists.
As I say every week down the stretch, be sure that you’re watching the Ponderosa Videos on CBS.com for additional insight on those voted out of the game thus far (who have made the jury). Please don’t miss the newest edition of the FilmSurvivor Podcast right here at RealityTea on Thursday, where I will be speaking with the two voted-out contestants (and sixth and seventh members of the jury) voted out of Survivor: Game Changers. The best way to get all of my Survivor coverage and movie reviews is to follow me on Twitter – @tomsantilli – or on Facebook.
TELL US – WHO DO YOU THINK WILL BE VOTED OUT TONIGHT? WILL TAI AND/OR TROYZAN USE THEIR IDOLS? WHO DO YOU PREDICT WILL WIN SURVIVOR: GAME CHANGERS?

Cheryl Burke Thinks The Dance Moms Girls Are Traumatized From Working With Abby Lee Miller
As much as I love the girls on Dance Moms, I really watched the show for Abby Lee Miller’s ridiculous antics. Sure the moms argued a lot about who was raising the biggest star, but Abby really made the show. However, if I were a dancer or dance mom I would actually be relieved that Abby was replaced by Cheryl Burke.
Cheryl seems to be a lot more rational and kind than Abby ever has been, but then again aren’t we all? I have no idea how entertaining the show will be in Abby’s absence, but apparently Cheryl has a lot to overcome as the new coach of ALDC- or whatever moniker the team is going by during this post-Abby era.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
According to an article from E! Online, Cheryl has a lot of work to do. Aside from coaching the girls and (hopefully) winning some dance competitions, she has to handle the moms. Cheryl explained, “I’m coaching these girls. I come from the original dance mom, so I kind of know how to handle these moms. But it is a lot. I want the girls to have a positive experience coming out of this show.”
RELATED: Abby Plans To Pretend She’s Just Filming A Movie
The dancers have a ton of followers on Instagram and Twitter, plus they are making a lot of money – or at least I assume that they are. So it is a somewhat positive experience, minus getting berated by Abby for years.
And that’s really the biggest issue Cheryl seems to have right now: cleaning up Abby’s mess. She shared, “A lot of the girls I feel have been traumatized by the past and I just want them to know it’s all about positive reinforcement, but I am still strict.”
That sounds like a definite improvement for the girls. For the show? I guess we will see. But yeah, I imagine that being yelled at and then ranked based on an inexplicable combination of dance ability, their mothers’ behavior, and Abby‘s blatant favoritism has to be pretty scarring.
RELATED: Cheryl Burke Dishes On Replacing Abby Lee Miller
I don’t know how Cheryl’s version of discipline will play out on TV, but the competitive moms still have what it takes to make a dramatic show, or at least I hope so. Cheryl insisted, “I’m not going to let anything swing by, but it’s been a roller coaster ride in such a short amount of time to be honest.”

Little Women: LA Recap: Fractured Friendships
This week we find out a few critical pieces of news on Little Women: LA. Like the results of Terra Jole’s biopsy (she’s fine), and that Tonya Banks actually has an activewear line! But tempers flare when Tonya leaves Jasmine Sorge and Briana Renee off of the guest list of her fashion show. Because Briana is a MODEL in her own mind high demand, don’t ya know?!? Elena Gant and Terra also face off after Terra was last seen storming out of Elena’s baptism party. In short: Everyone screams at everyone. Welcome to another season of Little Women Who Loathe One Another!
We begin on the pier, where last week we saw Terra telling Tonya and Jasmine about her abnormal mammogram. Tonya tears up, then flies into anger about Terra not telling her earlier. Jasmine says nothing. Although Terra wanted to share the news with Elena as well, things between them are fractured since the godparent debacle. Jasmine’s advice: Talk to Elena. Soon.
CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR MORE!
Tonya and her family visit the factory that’s turning out her Little Boss Body active wear line, which is about to launch! For reals! And to prove it, Tonya’s throwing a fashion show – starring not quite all of her friends. Kerwin and Angelique listen as Tonya waxes poetic about her long journey, which was possibly destined for another row of garage bins. They’ll believe the dream when they see it move out of their garage.
At dinner, Terra and Elena get together to rehash the baptism debacle. Terra didn’t want to disrespect Elena’s kids, but Elena balks, “You ruined the party!” Terra just doesn’t understand how they’ve gotten here and why Jasmine is “so much better?” She defends her choice to go on Dancing With The Stars, even though it temporarily took her away from family and friends. Then, frustrated, she goes below the belt to deliver her assessment of Elena’s life: “I’m not sitting home putting makeup on. What are you doing? You’re doing nothing!”
Terra just wanted Elena to give her a heads up about not being chosen as godparent, but Elena argues that she shouldn’t have known she was being considered in the first place. Tonya’s big mouth got this whole thing started! But to Terra, that doesn’t matter. She thought they were good enough friends to be transparent with one another. After she shouts that she wanted to apologize to Elena tonight, Elena shouts back “F**k your apologies!” Sometimes “I’m sorry” isn’t enough. Uh – this is apparently one of those times. These chicks are dunzo. (For now.) To prove it, Elena storms off, leaving Terra to wonder when – if ever – she’ll tell her about the cancer scare news.
Ah, cleansing breaths. And ice cream! Tonya and Elena get together days later to chat about Tonya’s show. Elena also fills her in on the huge blowout with Terra, who she is at an impasse with indefinitely. Tonya agrees that Elena should have given Terra a heads up, but Elena’s like, oops! Sorry, not sorry. When Tonya tells her about Terra’s medical scare though, a glimmer of concern shows in her eyes. Maybe the stupid godparent crap feels a bit more trivial now, thinks Elena.
At Christy McGinity Gibel’s house, her parents are moving out, and Autumn’s sketchy online dude is out of the picture. It’s all coming up roses in Christy’s world! Plus, Autumn will be walking in Tonya’s fashion show, which makes Christy a proud mama. Even though she promises not to be a “stage mama.”
Terra’s at home with Joe folding clothes and waiting on her biopsy results. As she imagines the worst, Terra vows to fight – even if it means losing her breasts. When she makes the call to her doctor’s office though, there’s no need to worry – she’s all clear! Her biopsy results are negative for cancer. “Yahoo!” shouts Terra, whose relief is matched by Joe’s. “You are the rock of this family and we are blessed with these results,” says Joe, which is possibly the sweetest thing that’s ever come out of this man’s mouth. Seriously.
At lunch, Tonya and Briana discuss who will be modeling in Tonya’s show. She says the show is providing all of the models, plus she’s including Terra, Autumn, and Brittney (as in Guzman, aka Freakabrit? aka one-season wonder on LWLA?). Insulted, Briana brags that she’s already walking in another show anyway so, hmmmmph! A show that EXISTS and EVERYTHING! Tonya deadpans, “Good for you.” Cause what else is there to say to this thirsty woman?
To celebrate Terra’s good medical news, she meets up with Tonya and Jasmine to go on bumper boats – which is like bubble soccer on water and looks just as freaking fun! The ladies water blast each other and have a ball, chatting over lunch afterward about how happy they are about Terra’s good news. Terra fills the ladies in on her argument with Elena, which was the worst they’ve ever had. But when Tonya confesses she told Elena about Terra’s cancer scare afterward, Terra is pissed. She doesn’t want Elena feeling pity for her. And she wants Tonya to follow her own advice and stay in her lane!
Terra’s also surprised that Tonya didn’t ask Briana, or more importantly, Jasmine, to walk in her show. Especially because she’d floated the idea Jasmine’s way before this. And because inviting Freakabrit over Jasmine is cray-cray! Suddenly bursting into tears, Jasmine admits her feelings are hurt over not being included. She questions Tonya’s motivations in this whole mess of a fashion show, which is already becoming less popular than the lotus-embroidered fashions themselves.
Alas, the show must go on! So Terra comes over to Tonya’s house for a fitting. The clothes look good and Terra cheers her support, despite her initial criticisms. They chat about the Jasmine issue, which Terra thinks is all Tonya’s fault. Tonya, to her credit, does feel horrible about leaving Jasmine out. But she doesn’t give a flying f**k about banning Briana! The reasons? Well: 1) Briana is unreliable, and 2) Briana HAS BODY ODOR that would stink up the entire collection. Whaaaaaaaaat? Okay, there’s just no coming back from that shade. Briana, you’ve been served! Ouch.
Despite their tense relationship of late, Briana and Jasmine meet up for some dessert and dishing. Briana fills Jasmine in on baby Maverick’s health, which is still in flux. Jasmine feels badly for Briana’s family troubles, but she’s still reserved about being tight with her again. When Jasmine asks about Briana’s imaginary fashion show, she’s surprised to learn that Briana isn’t going to do it. Reasons? Because they dressed her badly, wanted her to dye her hair to look “taller,” and didn’t treat her like the “fierce mama” she is. Allegedly.
The two ladies do bond over their joint hurt feelings about being Little Boss Body Rejects, though! They’ve been invited to a party to celebrate afterward, but don’t want to go. Jasmine, because she’s genuinely hurt. And Briana, because her ego is bruised (and will be stomped to a pulp when she hears about the B.O. accusations later on!).
It’s the day of Tonya’s fashion show, and apparently, Christy had to step in last minute to fill in. So, that’s gonna go over super well with Jasmine and Briana! Speaking of tension, Terra freezes up when Elena arrives to Tonya’s post-show party – but there’s no need, because Elena comes in peace. She was worried about Terra, and the news of her health scare put things into perspective. She wants to be by her side and doesn’t want petty bullsh*t to get in the way.
Terra wonders if this is just pity talking, but wants to move forward with Elena anyway because of the friendship they once had. They agree to start fresh. Yay! (Now, can we please have the old Elena back? I want to send this new version back to the distributor. It malfunctioned dramatically.)
When Briana and Jasmine arrive, tension escalates to a new level though. (It should be noted that Christy is the only semi-happy camper here, which is a refreshing change of pace.) Jasmine confronts Tonya first: She was there for her video and photo shoots and “The way you repay me is by stomping on me!” she accuses. But Tonya didn’t intend to slight her, claiming it was a simple oversight. Oversight or not, Jasmine is fit to be tied – and rightly so.
But instead of apologizing, Tonya goes into defense mode, claiming Jasmine never returned her calls. Plus, she just forgot! And Jasmine is, apparently, supposed to just get over it? No, no, no. Because now Jasmine is fueled on her rage AND rage on behalf of her on-again-friend, Briana. Cue Briana joining in the fray! She’s hurt too, but can barely get an “I’m a model too!” word in edgewise over Jasmine’s tirade.
Fired up, Jasmine gets in Tonya’s face to reiterate how royally pissed off she is and how Tonya obviously doesn’t give a sh*t about her! Tonya barks repeatedly that Jasmine needs to accept her apology! – but this delivery leaves a lot to be desired. Jasmine doesn’t have ears to hear it right now, feeling like Tonya not only forgot to ask her to model. She forgot she existed.
Following Jasmine downstairs after she storms out, Terra explains that Tonya did truly feel guilty about not asking Jasmine to model. But, Terra admits, she never planned to ask Briana! Screw that chick! Briana is, of course, stunned that Tonya wouldn’t want her Maxim-wannabe-a$$ strutting down her runway. I mean Matt thinks she and the rest of the internet is hot, right? In tears, Jasmine just can’t understand why she’s “always forgotten.” It seems like an apology – a real one – is in order here, Little Boss.
TELL US: DID TONYA’S OVERSIGHT WARRANT JASMINE’S RESPONSE? WILL ELENA AND TERRA BE COOL NOW?
