The ladies of Real Housewives of New York were a tad obsessed with Luann de Lesseps‘ wedding plans when they filmed this season together, for good reason, obviously. Luann is trying to let it all roll right off her back and is thankful for friends like Sonja Morgan who are showing a little support of her decision to move forward with the wedding to Tom D’Agostino, despite Tom’s cheating.
She shared in her blog this week, “Who has time for negativity when I’m planning a fabulous wedding weekend? So many details! As you can see, I was working on the wedding when I met Sonja at Il Postino for lunch. Sonja is happy for us and although she’ll be out of town for our wedding, she wishes us all the best. At least someone is happy for us!”
Luann ponders whether Ramona Singer might be a wee bit jealous that Lu landed a true love and is getting her happily ever after while Ramona is still searching. She writes, “Ramona giving dating advice to Tinsley is hysterical! From steakhouses to eye contact, Ramona believes she knows the secret to meeting good men so why she continues to disparage my relationship by gossiping, I don’t understand. She’s dating to find someone special and now that I’ve done just that, she might be a bit jealous?”
She doesn’t give too many effs about her ‘friend’ Barbara’s snide comments. “Another “friend” of mine, Barbara K. was caught on tape spreading rumors that I was having second thoughts about marrying Tom…after she RSVP’d “yes” to my wedding! I never would have invited her had I known how she really felt about Tom and me. #GirlCode? You can tell by the smile on my face that I’ve got nothing to prove and everything to look forward to.”
The former countess ends her blog with, “Until next week, with friends like these, who needs enemies?”
Tonight is an all new episode of The Real Housewives of New York City and we’re once again focused on Luann’s pending nuptials. The ladies head back to the Berkshires! (Wasn’t last season’s trip enough?!) Dorinda Medley asks Luann if she’s absolutely certain that she wants to marry Tom. Sonja Morgan loses it when Tinsley Mortimer asks a simple favor and says she feels like Tinsley is taking advantage of her kindness and her assistant. And all because Tinsley just needed someone to answer the door and receive a package! Seriously. Tune in at 9/8 CST!

That’s pretty much the question isn’t it? Tonight, the 34th (!!!) season of Survivor – the world’s greatest Reality Competition TV Show – will come to a close, where one of the six remaining “game changers” will be crowned the Sole Survivor and win a million dollars. Like we have grown accustomed to, tonight we will be treated with a two-hour finale episode, followed by the one-hour live reunion show, where hopefully Sia doesn’t show up this year.
And boy oh boy is there a lot of game still to be played. Not only are we down to six people, but there are still three Immunity Idols and the “Legacy Advantage” still in play heading into tonight. Get strapped in and ready, because we’re about to break down the chances of the remaining players left in the game and get you set for tonight’s big finish.

I URGE you, if you haven’t been listening to the FilmSurvivor Podcast, now is the time to get caught up. You can listen to my recaps of each episode this season, sure, but the main draw is that you can listen to my exclusive exit interviews with each and every person (except Zeke…insert frown face emoji) from this season’s cast. To get caught up before heading into tonight’s episode – you can access last week’s podcast here.
So we’ve come down to our Final Six: Brad, Troyzan, Tai, Aubry, Cirie, and Sarah. One of these players will win the million and become the 33rd person in history to win Survivor. But who will win? Of course, predicting these sorts of things is nearly impossible, especially when you consider all of the Idols still remaining in the game, and that two of them are currently held by Tai, one of the greatest masters of indecision the game has ever seen. Last week’s finale preview would have you believe that he gives or shares one or both of his Idols with current alliance members Brad and Troyzan, but I’m not convinced that even Tai is that stupid. He’s not, right?
To figure out who might have the best chance of winning, I think first you have to break down the players who simply have NO chance of winning. I think only two players really fall into this category at the moment, and that’s Tai and Troyzan, ironically, the two that have the Idols in their possession.
Troyzan and Tai simply have not played strong games (although Tai could have made a case for his early game-play). Barring something miraculous during the finale, I don’t see how either of these guys could muster up the necessary votes needed to win the game. Now, both have strong chances of getting to the end, and in fact, it would take a minor miracle (or a humongous eff-up) for Tai to NOT be one of the Final Three. If the dude just played his two Idols on himself, he would just need to win one challenge over the course of the final three Immunity Challenges and his spot would be guaranteed…there has never been a more clear path to Final Three from Final Six. And even if Tai were to lose all of these challenges along the way, you would think that if he plays both of his Idols along the way, that he is still in great shape to make the Final Three, since most other players probably wouldn’t mind sitting next to Tai at the end. So you can put Tai in the finals, unless of course he does something stupid like share or give his Idols away. Ugh I can’t bear to think about such a blunder.
Not to go too far off on a tangent, there is also an interesting – theoretical – situation that could arise during tonight’s first Tribal Council that has never happened before. If Tai IS stupid enough to share his Idols, and let’s say he plays one and Brad plays the other, then Troyzan could also play his. All three in that alliance would be guaranteed safety to Final Five, and if they had complete trust in one another, there alliance of three would automatically have the majority at Five. Interesting and not stupid, right? Now, add to this that Sarah is 100% safe and guaranteed a spot in Final Five, because she is able to finally play the “Legacy Advantage” that she hustled away from Sierra. That would leave EVERYONE left in the game safe except for Aubry and Cirie. If one of these two were to happen to win Immunity, that means there is a potential for five of the six players left in the game to be immune during Tribal Council! There would be no vote and by default, one person would end up leaving the game without a single vote cast against them.
Cool! But highly unlikely me thinks. That being said, the alliance of Brad-Tai-Troyzan does seem to suddenly make the most sense, especially considering Cirie‘s gi-normous blunder last week, when she tried to play Sarah‘s hidden advantage. It ended up really screwing up not only Cirie’s game, but also Sarah’s…because Sarah had to end up using her extra vote advantage (when otherwise she would not have), Sarah could have been in a great position this week. Now it appears that Cirie has burnt her bridges, and that Sarah may be all alone in this game.
Sarah of course, would be a strong winner…she has played a masterful, hard-fought, and well-thought-out game, and has really taken some big chances and some big swings. I don’t see a scenario where anybody else in the game would want to sit next to Sarah at the end, so unless Sarah can win her final two Immunity Challenges, I don’t see her winning. Now if she can make the Final Three, I actually think there is no other combination of Final Three in which Sarah would not win. But having to win your way to Final Three rarely happens, and so because of that, I think Sarah winning is a long-shot.
Also a long-shot is Brad Culpepper. He could definitely win if he’s sitting at the end, but because of his physicality I do not see the rest of the group, even his close allies, letting him get to the end. He, too, is in a situation like Sarah, where he may have to win his way to the end in order to make it. A Brad versus Sarah in the Finals would be a compelling match-up, but I still think these “Game Changers” would vote for Sarah over Brad. So Brad can definitely win, but he’d have to win challenges and get Sarah out along the way to make that happen.
That leaves us really with Aubry or Cirie. Cirie could absolutely still win the game, despite her actions last week, although that was definitely a strike against her. I have said it every week, but allowing Cirie to last in this game is a move I think everyone will eventually regret. Because Sarah will be seeking revenge, and because the opposing alliance has three Idols, and because Cirie sucks at challenges, I think Cirie’s toughest challenge will be getting through tonight’s very first vote. If she can somehow manage that, she has a great chance to not only get to the end, but to win it all.
Now Aubry? Her edit this season would lead you to believe she has no chance, and surely her story is being set-up as history repeating itself…she made it to the end of her first season as well, but was not given any respect from her peers. And while I definitely believe Aubry too, is a long-shot to win the game, I can see her in the end. If she’s sitting next to say, Troyzan and Tai, she can win the game. Her biggest challenge is that I don’t see her winning over Brad, Cirie, and/or Sarah, so unless all three of these players get voted out in a row, I think Aubry will have once again lasted 39 days without anything to show for it.
If I had to go out on a limb, I’d predict that Cirie will end up winning the game. She has been too big a threat for too long, and the simple fact that she’s even in the game still is a testament to her social and strategic prowess. I think I’m rooting for Sarah however, who has played the game I think deserves to be rewarded the most. For the first time in several seasons, I think I’d be happy with any of these players…yes, even you, Troyzan. What can I say, I like the dude, although he has not done much at all this season (that we’ve been shown at least). So good luck to you Final Six, and thanks for an enjoyable season.
Before I go let me share with you what CBS has to say about tonight’s Finale Episode:
“No Good Deed Goes Unpunished” – A historic tribal council takes a shocking turn on one unsuspecting castaway. Then, after a game changing season, one castaway will be crowned sole Survivor and awarded the $1 million dollar prize, on the two-hour season finale, followed by the one-hour live reunion show hosted by Emmy Award winner Jeff Probst, on SURVIVOR, Wednesday, May 24 (8:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
A “historical tribal council”? Sweet! Also, Jeff Probst teased that the biggest game-changing move of the season happens tonight, which is saying a lot. I can’t wait! See you on the other side!
Speaking of “on the other side,” please take note as to what we have planned after tonight! You will not want to miss Thursday, as I will be speaking with all six of the remaining contestants on the FilmSurvivor Podcast, including the winner and Sole Survivor of Survivor: Game Changers.
Following this Finale Podcast, I’ll also be posting my updated “season-end” lists, of the “Most Memorable Survivor Seasons” and my list of all-time “Survivor Winners.” And while these will mark the end of my Survivor coverage for the season, the FilmSurvivor Podcast will be going strong with new weekly episodes all Summer long, leading into next Fall’s new season of Survivor. If you love movies like I do, the Podcast is something I urge you to listen to, share, and follow. I’ll be joined all Summer long with celebrity interviews, filmmakers, inside movie people and movie critics, and will also break any new Survivor news that comes along. Thanks for your support and please remember to follow on iTunes and/or on Podbean so you don’t miss a thing!
The best way to get all of my Survivor coverage and movie reviews is to follow me on Twitter – @tomsantilli – or on Facebook.

At this point, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will be perpetually confused by Lala Kent and her status on Vanderpump Rules. One second she’s storming away from the show and avoiding everyone, then she’s coming back to play the anxiety card.
Lala is besties with Scheana Marie and Ariana Madix now, so I figured that she would be back for some girl drama next season, but apparently I was wrong. Just like everything Lala says, I take this with a grain of salt and know that her status on the show can change at any moment, but apparently she’s not going to be a part of the next Pump Rules season.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
In an interview with ET Online, Lala confirmed, “They started [filming] today. And I’m here, so that tells you what you need to know, I guess.”
Yeah, but that doesn’t really mean anything. Just because Lala missed the first day, it doesn’t mean that she is definitely gone. You can’t count her out. I guess it depends what else they have to talk about. If they need to resort to talking shit about Lala for a story line (again), I’m sure she will return.
Lala makes it seem like it was her decision to not be on this show. Obviously I find that hard to believe, but anyway, Lala maintains, “I flip flop back and forth.” Personally, I want her back on the show, but then again, I love the drama. I’m just so done with the secret boyfriend thing though, so maybe her absence is for the best.
Once again, I find it difficult to believe Lala since she claimed, “I’m definitely not going to be off of TV, so whether it’s Vanderpump Rules or something else for me, I’m a hustler.” I don’t know about that. She can’t even pull her weight on a show with 2,934 cast members to pick up the slack in her absence, so I doubt she has a ton of opportunities coming her way.

Just go back on Vanderpump Rules, Lala.
It really makes the most sense. Lala should not go on some other inferior reality show just to make a point that she can succeed on her own. Pump Rules is truly the best option at this point, especially since she can join Scheana and Ariana in their war against (most of) the other female cast members.
Lala confirmed,“I have made amends with a lot of different people, so that’s amazing for me. Scheana and Ariana are, like, life goals for me right now. I’m obsessed … We’re homies, so it’s like, I’m a little bit sad, and now they’re going to be filming all summer and we’re finally friends!”
Lala joked that she has her sights set on another Lisa Vanderpump reality show when she said, “When I’m on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you guys will know. Good lord, can you imagine me and [Lisa Vanderpump] as homies instead of her worker? Life goals!” That would be like the second coming of Brandi Glanville… which I’m sure Lisa would welcome with open arms. Not.

I don’t understand why anyone would ever defy Dorinda Medley. Whoever has the nerve to do so – God bless you. I can’t think of anyone who can handle her wrath. That’s why it kills me watching my girl Sonja Morgan this season on Real Housewives of New York. She has no idea who she’s up against.
It seems like they are cool at this point, but I doubt Dorinda enjoys watching these episodes when Sonja is shit talking her charitable efforts and her boyfriend John Mahdessian. Sonja better watch out. Dorinda will not put up with that nonsense.

Before addressing issues with Sonja, Dorinda discussed the tension between Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer in her Bravo blog.
She wrote, “I still do not understand how heated it got between Ramona and Bethenny in the Berkshires, but one thing is for sure: Bethenny is having none of it. When Bethenny is done, she’s done, and she does not look back.” Seriously though. I would not mess with Bethenny. Ever.
Dorinda declared, “I did not appreciate Sonja‘s rude comments about the event and John. Sonja finds it impossible to ever be supportive of me.” Yeah, I don’t know what’s going on with Sonja this season, but she’s definitely a lot more negative than we have ever seen in the past.
RELATED: Dorinda Medley Thinks Sonja Morgan Is Torturing Tinsley Mortimer
Dorinda didn’t stop there though. She really went in on Sonja: “Maybe if it were about picking up random men at Beautique and not about the sex trafficking of children, she would be kinder and more supportive.”
Dorinda also did her due diligence as a bridesmaid in Luann de Lesseps and Tom D’Agostino’s wedding. Even though the wedding went down months ago, she is here to defend the controversial couple. She said what I was thinking: “Everyone has to stop with Luann and Tom.” I say this, not as a fan of Tom’s, but solely because I’m tired of them dragging out the same story over and over again.
Dorinda said, “They’re happy, they’re in love, and the biggie: THEY’RE GETTING MARRIED in a few weeks! We all need to focus on our lives and relationships and leave them be! Enough Already!” I really don’t care about their relationship at this point, but I am just so done with everyone talking about it. Unless Tom does something new, I don’t want to hear about it.

"The great war is here" in the first Game of Thrones season seven trailer. And what a war it looks like. They're not throwing the word "great" around...It’s never unusual to hear about Vicki Gunvalson partying in Cabo. It’s basically her second home. The part of this story that is pretty alarming to the Real Housewives of Orange County fans is that there are whispers about her being there with her most notorious ex boyfriend Brooks Ayers. Vicki has adamantly denied the hang out claims. Multiple times.
Obviously, it’s annoying me that Brooks is the topic of conversation (again) and I feel like I’m adding to the annoyance by typing out his name, but at least it seems like Vicki is actually one hundred percent done with this scumbag. Or at least I hope so.

Even though Vicki and Brooks have been officially broken up for years, I’m sure her mentions are still full of his name. For the most part, Vicki ignores this, but this time she adamantly stood up for herself against the Brooks rumors.
Vicki tweeted, “Nice try!! No way!!” She continued, “People will say anything to get attention! I was with my girlfriends all weekend.” Plus, I bet this was filmed for the show, unless my perception of the timing is off. Vicki maintained, “Not true! Was there with my girlfriends!” in response to the accusations.
In response to a fan who tweeted, “Girl say it ain’t so! Not in Cabo w/CROOKS! They lying on ur name sis! #AddressThis #SOON,” Vicki replied, “OMG no!!”
RELATED: Vicki Gunvalson And Meghan Edmonds Do Shots In Mexico
Aside from adamantly denying any sort of reconciliation with Brooks, Vicki called out a Twitter user who asked about it: “Attention seeker! I was at Cabo Wabo one night with my girlfriends and their friends.”
After a “fan” tweeted, “Thanks for finally setting record straight! I knew you wouldn’t do it,” Vicki replied, “Why would I? He’s moved on and so have I! We broke up 2 years ago.” Another person told Vicki, “You definitely were with that scum trying to hide,” but the OG of the OC just wasn’t having it. She asserted, “Excuse me?? I was with my girlfriends and he was NOT there! Get ur facts straight.”
OK. We get it. Vicki was there with friends. Vicki made that abundantly clear. Am I the only one who read her tweets in the same tone of voice (and volume) Vicki had when she screamed “I have not had multiple partners in my life” while she was on the top of that mountain?
