There are so many reasons for the Real Housewives of Orange County cast members to be mad at Vicki Gunvalson, but using her as a scapegoat for weight gain is pretty ridiculous- cough, cough Shannon Beador. If that’s not projection, then I don’t know what it is. It’s pretty off base that Shannon actually said, “I’ve gained forty pounds. This is stress and that is Vicki Gunvalson.”
Even so, Vicki actually apologized to Shannon for this which is a nice thing to do, but it did come along with a bit of shade- of course.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Vicki actually said, “I’m sorry”- words her costars have been wanting her to say for a long time for many offenses. Still, it’s absurd that Shannon is actually blaming Vicki for gaining forty pounds after she told Kelly Dodd that Shannon’s husband David Beador “beat the shit out of her.”
Vicki continued, “You know, I’m sorry that you feel that way and I don’t want to cause her any stress … If I’m responsible for it, I’m really, really sorry. I don’t want anything bad for Shannon and David. I actually want them to have a happy, healthy marriage. I told her that from the very beginning when she confided in me on their situation.” That seems like an apology to most people who read it, but the Real Housewives of Orange County fanatics can read between the lines on that one. Sure, Vicki said she’s sorry made it a point to mention that Shannon confided in her about some alleged abuse from her husband. She just had to make sure she got that dig in there in such a subtle way.
Vicki recalled, “I said, ‘Make your marriage work.’ So I’m sorry. If I’m to blame for it, I’m sorry.” Obviously Vicki telling Kelly that was very wrong, but Shannon using that as an excuse for her own weight gain is really pushing it. Vicki can be blamed for a lot, but Shannon’s weight gain is not one of those things.

Lydia is busy launching her brand new magazine which features Peggy, an Armenian firecracker, whose life may look perfect but not everything that glitters is gold. Kelly struggles to make her marriage work while Meghan settles into life as a new mom.

Happy Monday! Teen Mom 2 returns for its eighth season tonight and almost EVERYONE is pregnant!
We catch up with Jenelle Evans, Kailyn Lowry, Chelsea Houska and Leah Messer tonight and we have a fifth mom in the mix this time around! Teen Mom 3 star Briana DeJesus is joining the show this season! When the season starts off, Briana is pregnant with her second child and we’ll get a glimpse of her journey as she raises daughter Nova – who has grown SO much since we saw her last!
Also pregnant when we pick up with the film crew this season are Jenelle and Kailyn, both expecting baby #3 and Chelsea expecting her second.
We’re not sure how much Barbara we’ll get to see this season since Jenelle tried to lay down the law last season, not wanting MTV to give her mom any screen time. We’ll have to wait and see how successful she was in that demand. We can’t imagine telling Jenelle’s story without including the woman who is raising her first born, Jace, but we’ll see what MTV decided.
The drama starts at 9/8 CST, so join us here in the comments to analyze the episode!

If you thought the dragons were big on Game of Thrones just wait until you hear about its ratings. The HBO drama returned on Sunday, July 16 to a massive record-making audience for the...At this point, Tom D’Agostino needs to be holding up an apple in the opening credits on Real Housewives of New York. When Luann de Lesseps said, “Please don’t let it be about Tom” it was more than just a great quote for gifs and merchandise, it was a prolific statement. RHONY has turned into the Tom show so it really isn’t surprising that there are reports their marriage may be in trouble.
They got engaged after WEEKS of dating after he already “dated” two of her Real Housewives costars. That’s not exactly a solid start to a relationship.
According to a report from Page Six, the marriage is “struggling after just seven months.” It can also be argued that the relationship has been “struggling” all along thanks to the constant scrutiny and scandal, but the two of them never seemed to care. The article also says that “the pair even got into a physical confrontation last week” where Luann supposed slapped Tom “in a fancy Manhattan restaurant.” If Luann slapped Tom in public, I feel like that would have made the rounds with photo/video documentation on social media.
But anyway, the same article says that the duo “have broken up and gotten back together a number of times,” which is the exact opposite of what they’re trying to project in front of the RHONY cameras. A “source” also says, “There has been friction from the start. They got married so fast, they didn’t really know each other.” No kidding. Anyone with eyes could verify that they barely knew each other when they got married.
Some “source” also claims, “He hates the whole reality [TV] thing, he doesn’t want the attention or the scrutiny.” Really? A man who has “dated” three reality TV stars on the same show wants nothing to do with reality TV? Sure… That’s the main issue here…
In contrast, Luann told People, “Tom and I are in love, and marriage takes work. We are working on this together.” Well, yeah. It’s clear that Luann will do anything she can to prove the haters wrong about this marriage. A source “close to Housewives” told People, “This was going on before the wedding, and she was too embarrassed to call it off, so she tuned out what a lot of people were saying.” Again, this is not new information for anyone remotely familiar with this couple. Still, the same source continued, “She had confided in friends that she knew something was up and that it didn’t gel — but she had to put on a good face to avoid embarrassment. Everyone gave it six months.” It’s only a matter of minutes before Lu posts a lovey dovey photo with her and Tom to prove that they’re #RelationshipGoals and squash these “rumors.”

It’s only the third official week in the Big Brother 19 house. However, all Big Brother 19 Live Feed watchers have probably aged 20 years by the week. We only had one relatively predictable and calm week so far. At least that week was calm until Cody Nickson created chaos that has damaged Dominique Cooper and Mark Jansen’s game.
The two had stayed relatively under the radar in the Big Brother 2017 house. However, last week Cody felt most betrayed by them and decided to get a little revenge by altering the truth, and creating seeds of doubt. This worked perfectly for Paul, who already kind of wanted to target Dominique.
With Alex Ow in power, Paul helped put the nails in Dominique’s coffin. As yesterday’s Big Brother 19 episode showed, Alex nominated Jessica Graf and Dominique for eviction.
Later in the day, the Power of Veto competition took place. Jason Dent won it, and then began debating to use it or not. The original plan was to use it, take Jessica off and Raven Walton goes up as a replacement. However, Paul was against that plan. He wanted Mark as a pawn to stop him from campaigning to keep Dominique in the house.
Jason did not feel comfortable nominating Mark, especially if he didn’t want to go on the block. All weekend, Jason debated whether to use the veto and force Alex to nominate Mark. When today began, Jason had decided not to use the veto. However, we knew Paul wouldn’t accept that decision.
So what was Jason’s final Big Brother 19 Power of Veto ceremony decision?
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Jason decided not to use the veto. Either Jessica Graf or Dominique Cooper will leave the Big Brother 19 house, unless one of them receives the Halting Hex.
If Dominique or Jessica are evicted, they will face Cody in a Battle Back competition.

What's a yacht captain to do when his crew proves to be less than capable of doing most things expected of them? We'll soon find out. When Below Deck returns to Bravo for its...In all honesty, Tinsley Mortimer isn’t bringing much to Real Housewives of New York. Then again, pretty much no one is, which I’m sure is tough to do after they had the best season ever last year. Hopefully they turn things around with this Mexico trip (and Luann de Lesseps drunkenly falling into the bushes), but the episodes up to this point have been a total snooze fest. The only thing going on is Bethenny Frankel’s feud with Ramona Singer, which has dragged out way too long and just isn’t entertaining anymore.
Still, it did get kind of weird when Bethenny and Ramona attempted to have a “private” conversation in front of the cameras for a cast dinner. Then Bethenny got weirdly offended when other people eavesdropped even though no one could help listening in to a conversation that was happening a few inches away from them.
Poor Tinsley. She just doesn’t seem to be cut out for this Housewife life. She’s a nice little minnow swimming in a tank full of sharks. She is way too normal to handle this circus, let alone thrive.
Tinsley wrote about the last episode in her Bravo blog. “Bethenny really surprised me when she called me out for noticing her conversation with Ramona. I understand that these two are having a battle, but we’ve all been affected by what’s been going on and are all hoping for a peaceful resolution to relieve some of the tension. If she wanted the conversation to be private, she should have taken Ramona aside, away from a small round table of nosey girls. AND…I wasn’t the only one who happened to glance over or who was paying attention during the conversation. Everyone was eavesdropping, but I was the only one to get busted for it. Ridic!”
Agreed. That whole thing just made no sense, but we were subjected to watching this since there’s absolutely nothing else happening this season.
Aside from getting the side eye from Bethenny, Tinsley let Carole Radziwill set her up with a friend named Scott for a double date. It was pretty awkward watching the date and their impromptu make out session. Still, Tinsley wrote, “Does anyone out there believe in love at first sight?! I certainly didn’t until locking eyes with cute Scott from Chicago. His shy demeanor, his smile, and his quiet confidence intrigued me immediately. Wow! We’re almost soul mates.”
Wait. What? Soul mates? Is that her way of saying that they’re still dating? What is going on?
Tinsley continued, “Between the Tito’s and Leo’s and loving lounging by a pool instead of a beach, this guy is right up my alley…not to mention he is also a modest self-made man who claims to be a computer nerd…just what I was looking for! Having said this, there is absolutely NOTHING nerdy about this guy. He’s darling and brilliant. I was feeling a great vibe from him, so I just had to go in for a smooch. Shoot me! Guys go in for the kiss all the time. Why can’t I?”
Other evidence that Tinsley might still be dating this guy is that she gave a shout out to his website and referred to the two of them as a match made in heaven: “I’m so excited! It all sounds perfect. Scott’s company, CouponCabin.com, has endless promo codes for all the major brands I love, so how could this possibly be wrong? I love to shop! Seems like a match made in Heaven.”

Why is Asa Soltan Rahmati on reality television? Until Asa got pregnant she had no real story line on Shahs of Sunset other than promoting caftans and diamond water. She shares nothing from her personal life and the “Persian Pop Priestess” act is really wearing thin.
Mercedes “MJ” Javid and Mike Shouhed are tired of putting themselves out there on Shahs of Sunset while Asa shares absolutely nothing and they made that very clear during their appearance on Watch What Happens Live.
Andy Cohen stirred the pot unleashed a can of worms when he asked MJ and Mike if they have seen Asa‘s baby yet. Mike said, “I’ve never even met him.” MJ took it a step further and added, “No. We are not invited. Our relationship ended last Mother’s Day when we were here together [on Watch What Happens Live] when my mom said ‘stop using the show as an infomercial.'”
Seriously though – why is Asa even on Shahs of Sunset? What entertainment does she bring to the table?
The Asa trash talk was put on hold when Andy asked MJ some questions about her mother. Innocently enough, he wondered, “Did she help you unpack or decorate your new apartment?” MJ didn’t hold back: “No sooner would she bludgeon herself than help us with anything.” And she really put the nail in the coffin when she added, “I mean she’s barely a mothering mother.”
Andy polled the audience about whether or not MJ is jealous that Asa got pregnant first and (a not so sober) MJ interjected, “Can I speak on this?” She said, “I understand that because Asa hid the fact that she was planning a pregnancy. She never told me that she wanted the number for my doctor and that she was planning everything.”
Mike came to MJ’s defense and explained, “They’re saying ‘Are you jealous?,’ but you are not jealous. They were both going in for the same treatment and kept it a secret instead of being a real friend and saying ‘Let’s do this together. I know what you’re going through,’ and all of a sudden she talks about how she had this ‘miracle’ baby. Bull shit.”
MJ jumped in with, “For me it’s a really big deal because I always wanted a sisterhood with Asa and I feel like we got bamboozled by her. I feel like it will unfold as you watch the episodes. At this moment, when I got the eggs frozen and I went through the process, she asked me a million questions and didn’t share anything. It was very hurtful and shocking. My dad was hanging on for his life and really my dad is my rock. Nobody knows that he’s my man.”
Andy replied, “Right because we don’t see him on the show.” MJ continued, “That’s my everything and Asa’s apathy toward that and her going like this [makes hand gesture to mimic Asa showing off baby bump] and I’m like ‘What is it? A new caftan? What are you doing? What is it?'” I could not help laughing at that. It would be a #TotalAsaMove to reveal a new caftan design at someone else’s special event.
Andy imposed a break on the Asa bash session and asked Mike about his status with Jessica Parido. He confirmed that they are divorced and said, “There is no me and Jessica. Done. Done. Done.”
Then Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi called in (from an area with poor phone reception) and made some muffled comments about how she was upset that Mike said she had “raccoon eyes” and then she accused Mike of getting some work done on his own eyes. She should have just tweeted her anger like the rest of the disgruntled Bravolebrities because no one understood what she was saying during the call.
Mike was perturbed that GG took issue with one negative comment he made instead of focusing on the nice things he said. He complained, “I said she’s healthy, she looks good, she’s in a good place, but this evil woman calls me and talks about one bad thing I said about the dark circles under [her] eyes.”
Andy asked Mike about his dating life and Mike declared, “Dating in L.A. is really hard. I’m just trying to find my groove because I’ve been out of the game for a while.” MJ called him out: “There’s a girl wearing your necklace,” which is something GG mentioned in her recent interview with Reality Tea.
Mike didn’t really address the topic at hand. He just said, “Yeah, of course. Her initials are the same as mine so that’s why.” As if it’s no big deal to give out jewelry to a girl he’s “not dating.” Alright then…
The Asa shit talking picked up steam (again) when Andy had Mike and MJ play a game where they guessed if objects weighed more or less than MJ’s boobs. One of the “objects” was Asa’s baby and MJ was so not here for that. She dismissed it by saying, “Nobody knows ’cause nobody cares. Nobody has an idea.” Mike interjected, “I care.”
Of course, Andy revealed, “Asa has been tweeting up a storm” and MJ said, “Oh has she? Because of her insecure ass.”
Mike explained, “Last year when I was going through my divorce, she was the number one person, advocate [of] ‘Tell the truth. Tell the truth. Tell the truth.’ All I wanted for her was to tell the truth, regardless of what we’re gonna think. If you’re going to tell me to tell the truth and you’re going to grill me to do it, be a truth teller as well when it’s your turn.”
MJ added, “Asa just need to be with the realness.” And then she seemed pretty far from sober when she explained, “What I want from Asa is stay with us. You know it’s not all about glitter and gold.” I get what she’s trying to say though. The rest of the cast lays their lives out there while Asa brings nothing remotely personal to this show. I don’t blame Mike and MJ for calling her out.

Ed Sheeran made his Game of Thrones debut in the season seven premiere. The people of the internet had a lot of thoughts. The singer, who isn't the first musician to make a cameo on...The tension between Paul Abrahamian and Dominique Cooper has created a weird and intense vibe within the Big Brother 19 house. Daily, Dominique’s position in the Big Brother 19 game continues to drop, and Paul’s loyal minions continue to grow more obedient.
Amongst the Paul and Dominique conflict, Jessica Graf has begun to rebuild her social status within the Big Brother 2017 game. She’s incorporating herself right back in with Matt Clines, Raven Walton, Elena Davies, and Mark Jansen. However, the outsiders still questioned whose side had Jessica’s loyalty.
Despite it only being Sunday, the Big Brother 19 players have already written this week off. We heard a lot of houseguests discussing who to go after once Dominique leaves the house.
Jason Dent and Alex Ow talked about going after Ramses Soto and Jessica next. Alex still wants Jessica out. However, Jason thinks Ramses should be next on their list. They also discussed the possibility of taking out Kevin because he continues to betray and play them.
Paul’s side also discussed putting up Jessica and Ramses. Dominique mentioned that her targets would be Paul and Elena, and Raven if either of them came down.
Dominique continued to distance herself from the rest of the house. She had a few private conversations with various players. Dominique talked about the game with Jessica, Josh Martinez, and Mark. Most of Dominique’s conversations were with herself, talking to the live feed watchers about being betrayed. She also felt really defensive about Paul dismissing God, which is understandable considering her faith.
Dominique did briefly reveal to Matt that she works in Washington. She told the houseguests that she still wants to have her show on Wednesday. She asked Kevin to interview Jessica and her. Kevin mentioned to the other Big Brother 19 houseguests that he would decline it because it made people uncomfortable.
The Big Brother 19 houseguests also chatted about not attending Dominique’s talk show on Wednesday. They believe she’d use it to try to manipulate things.
Alex, Paul, Jason, and Mark went back and forth the entire day about the veto. Mark and Raven both still refuse to be pawns. It seemed like Jason and Alex were fine with not using it, but after different discussions, and the fear of Mark flipping the vote, they have once again decided to take Jessica off the block and putt Mark up as a replacement.
Paul wants to make a scene during the Power of Veto ceremony by dressing like a snake. He even discussed possibly painting his face black with a facial mask, to create the full snake effect.
By the end of the night, Jason had once again decided not to use the veto. We’ll have to wait until this afternoon to see Jason’s final decision.

With part two of the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion, we are finally drawing to a close on the season. A messy, messy season. Case in point, we left last week’s reunion with Robyn Dixon trash talking cast mate Ashley Darby for all of her pot stirring and not minding her own business when it comes to Robyn’s marriage/not marriage. We rejoin part two in the exact same spot, with the ladies checking their phones, being touched up by makeup, and Robyn telling Charrisse Jackson-Jordan that she would beat Ashley’s ass if it wasn’t for the cameras.
This doesn’t seem like a great place to pick up and thankfully, it’s not, so instead, the husbands (Big Drawers and the BBG), ex-husbands (Juan), and soon to be ex-husbands (Michael) join the stage. Andy is not about to waste any precious time and goes right in on Juan, asking why he was so reluctant to join them. Clearly, someone from Bravo had to get on the phone and beg.
Juan cites a new head coaching job that he got and while he wants to do what’s best for his family, he also wants to support Robyn. So he’s saying that and it sounds nice and all but man, is anyone else feeling the frost between these two? Even for emotional robots this is chilly! I guess it’s understandable, given that Juan is facing questions that you know he isn’t even talking about in his marriage/not marriage at home, despite his claims that he does. I call BS on that – these two couldn’t be further from the same page. They aren’t even in the same book. But Robyn and her giant dream catcher earrings are going to hang on to those dreams while living in a state of complete denial.
Anyway, Juan is visibly uncomfortable after questions about his statement off camera to a producer that he is only with Robyn because of their kids, but smoothly explains it away, saying what Robyn said in part one: it’s something they talked about. What does that even mean? They talked about only being together for the kids or they talked about what he said and worked it out? No one knows and Andy doesn’t press because he’s got more fish to fry like, does Juan see himself with Robyn romantically. The preprogrammed robotic response is that it’s not a conversation they have had but he loves Robyn and his family unconditionally. Sounds a bit different from Robyn’s claims all season that Juan wants to be back together but she isn’t ready because of trust issues.
Speaking of trust issues, Andy questions Juan about carrying guilt for cheating on Robyn and this was no robot response here – Juan is adamant that he’s not going to let Andy paint the picture that he was the only one who did wrong in his relationship. There were two cyborgs people present and they both played a role. Juan dodges a few more questions like, if he wants to date other people and what is his primary malfunction. OK, I made the last one up but you get the idea. Enough of these two yawn-inducers!
Andy turns his attention to the BBG, who clearly took his Metamucil and came to play today. He is completely unbothered and has no problem fielding Andy’s questions about their middle of the night move from Potomac. According to Ray, there was nothing quick about it – they had their house on the market for a year and a half. Ummm excuse me? Did they not make it seem like they had just listed their house when the Grand Dame, Karen Huger, swanned into her real estate agent’s office, talking about how there would be no open houses? And I would have traded my next paycheck to see the look on Karen’s face the moment that the BBG exposed the idea that her precious home was on the market for that long. No wonder someone from China bought it – no one in the U.S. wanted it!
Andy tries to get the BBG to explain how they ended up in a larger house and he isn’t able to corroborate Karen’s ridiculous story about moving into a bigger RENTAL house because she is going to move her sick parents in. You know the BBG is sleeping on the rental couch tonight after all this. Andy thinks they need some communication lessons, which is shade for “get your lies straight before you come out to the couch!”
Moving onto Big Drawers and his mom calling wife Monique FIVE HOUSES Samuels a heifer on camera. To his credit, Big Drawers immediately says that his wife comes first and he spoke with his mother about the incident because he wasn’t happy. She gave him an apology, but she hasn’t apologized to Monique. No, she has not visited the new Potomac house yet and that suits Monique just fine.
But why talk about a happy marriage when we can talk to Ashley and Michael? The awkwardness between them is worse than Robyn and Juan and for good reason –Ashley drops the bomb that they have been living separately for three months now. Everyone looks genuinely surprised and it’s obvious the majority of these women aren’t friends or even running in the same social circles outside of the show. I at least thought Ashley and Monique would keep in touch but I guess not.
Michael claims that the restaurant wasn’t the real issue and that it’s more that they don’t communicate how they should be. Yeah yeah yeah but…..really? I think that is a really nice way of saying your marriage just sucks. Ashley admits that she didn’t feel valued and she took out a lot of her insecurities of running a restaurant at the age of 28 out on her husband. I mean, yeah, when you’re running a place that has emu on the menu, I would imagine you’re feeling insecure about its future success.
Michael takes a sharp turn in the blame game and points the finger at Gizelle Bryant, Robyn, and Charrisse for their role in their issues. I guess because Robyn and Gizelle showed up at Oz that one time? I don’t know what he’s talking about with Charrisse but they all immediately scoff at him, which is well deserved. Blame the show, Michael, not the cast itself. They didn’t have anything to do with the state of your marriage or your failing business.
We then find out Ashley is the one who moved out and everyone thinks it sounds like Michael wants to set her free. He doesn’t really know how to respond to that so he gives some long winded answer about her maturing but not being quite there yet and I don’t know if he’s talking about Ashley or a Judy Blume book anymore. Ashley says she wants to get back together but they aren’t on the same page and she is only 50% there, whatever that means. I do think it was big of the women to not throw it in Ashley’s face that her marriage is on the rocks considering how much she had to say about everyone else’s relationships. I was waiting for that and thankful they didn’t stoop to that level.
When we move on to talk about some of the lavish ways the ladies have spent money this season, Andy just can’t get over Karen’s boobs from the past clips and the ones he sees before him today. As if she hadn’t just spent a full segment in part one saying she had the same boobs and they only looked different due to weight loss and the dress she is wearing, Karen says she took her implants out. Everyone is baffled, asking why she didn’t just say that from the get go and this pretty much sums up the person that is Karen Huger: you never know if the boobs are going to match the story. Or if the story will match the boobs.
Onto talking about Bermuda, which I really wish would get lost in its own Bermuda Triangle. I still can’t understand why it matters so much as to who was deemed host of the trip and not surprisingly, neither can Andy. He wants to know why Karen was so hell bent on excluding Charrisse from the planning and we have to listen to Karen yammer on about the state of their relationship and more nonsensical excuses as to why she does the things she does. Why do we even ask anymore? We know we aren’t going to get a truthful response. But Ashley didn’t get the memo and wants to know why Karen went so hard for Charrisse, claiming she had pictures of her with a fireman boyfriend. Cha Cha dares her to show the receipts and claims this all stemmed from someone setting up a fake Instagram account dedicated to Charrisse’s alleged infidelity. Karen claims she called Charrisse to give her the head’s up about it because she didn’t want her kids to see it. But since that didn’t work out, hey, she will just bring all of those rumors to light on national television, as if Charrisse’s kids wouldn’t see that.
Charrisse has filed for divorce and her marriage is over so she doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about. Especially since she tells us that there are rumors that Karen has a boyfriend of her own. Blue Eyes the Security Guy has been seen with the Mrs. BBG out and about and it’s not her safety he’s watching. Both Ashley and Gizelle have heard the rumor as Karen quickly tries to explain why she would even need security in the first place.
The argument somehow turns into who pays for their own parties and how Karen did actually pay for that hot mess of an Indian/African party, which shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, given how low budget it looked. But Karen can’t help herself and throws out there that Charrisse has sports money, not smart money, as she likes to call it. I’m not really sure why it matters and of course, Monique doesn’t want to let it go because she’s not about to let anyone tell her all that sports money she flaunts isn’t good enough.
We finally wrap up by Andy asking if anyone feels like there was a resolution at the reunion. Karen, Charrisse, Monique, and Gizelle claim to be good. Robyn and Ashley don’t think anything was resolved for them. Obviously, as they are living their marital relationships in a permanent state of unresolved. Either way, I think I’ve had enough resolution for this reunion!
