Below Deck Season 5 Premieres In September With New Crew Members

BELOW DECK -- Season:5 -- Pictured: Captain Lee Rosbach -- (Photo by: Virginia Sherwood/Bravo)

Happy news, Below Deck fans! The show is back for a fifth season – with an almost all-new crew!

Captain Lee Rosbach is back on board and cruising the Caribbean, along with fan favorites Kate Chastain and Nico Scholly. Joining them is a new gang of deckhands and stews and a new chef, too! The newbies includ: Matthew Burns (chef), Brianna Adekeye (stew), Jennifer Howell (stew), Chris Brown (deckhand), Bruno Duarte (deckhand) and Baker Manning (deckhand).

From Bravo’s press release: “On the new season of “Below Deck,” Captain Lee has his hands full with a greener-than-usual crew, but fortunately he can rely on trusted veterans Kate and Nico to help him manage the rough seas ahead. For Kate, the frustrating task of getting two new stews quickly up to speed puts her stress at an all-time high, which results in her engaging in some off-boat escapades with a handsome sailor. Nico’s first challenge of being senior deckhand is balancing his new leadership role onboard while facing difficult circumstances with his family back home. When he realizes he has a history with new stew Brianna, crew dynamics become even more complicated as Chef Matt and deckhand Chris also begin vying for Brianna’s affection. First-time deckhand Bruno and single mom-turned-stew Jen are living their dreams by working on a yacht, but the heavy workload from their bosses may turn it into a nightmare. When the extreme pressure on deck collides with a sudden emergency, Captain Lee is forced to “reconfigure” the team. With the crew reeling from his decision, the group struggles to navigate through the high-stakes drama. Will they be able to attend to all of the guests every want and need and get through another charter season, or will they crumble under the pressure?”

Meet the crew below!

The new season will premiere on Tuesday, September 5th. The sneak peek video can be watched on Bravo here. Are you going to tune in?

Speaking of Below Deck! Tonight is an all new episode of Below Deck Mediterranean!

“When bad weather keeps Sirocco at port, the crew scrambles to keep a VIP charter broker and her friends happy. Wes announces his choice for lead deckhand, causing tension to erupt. Despite their differences, Hannah and Bugsy attempt to work peacefully alongside each other. Meanwhile, word gets out that Wes and Malia exchanged a kiss during anchor watch leaving their crew mates outraged about crossing professional boundaries. And frustrated by watching the romance grow between Malia and Wes, a heartbroken Adam reveals to Bugs that he and Malia have a secret past.  Finally, on the crew’s day off in the historical city of Dubrovnik, Adam pulls a prank on Wes that goes a little too far for Wes’ liking.”

Join us here in the comments to dish through the episode! It starts at 9/8 CST and is followed by Bravo’s newest trainwreck-in-the-making, A Night With My Ex.

Big Brother 19: Week 3 Alliance Updates-Alex and Paul Control the Board

Week three inside the Big Brother 19 house has seen only a few subtle changes to the alliances and deals between the houseguests.  Aside from these small shifts, the Big Brother 19 house is still predominately split down the middle between the “Outsiders,” with Alex Ow as the leader of that team, and the “Team” with Paul Abrahamian running this side.

Big Brother 19 Paul Abrahamian and Alex Ow

The most interesting development over the last Big Brother 2017 week  has been the secret deal/alliance between Paul and Alex.  They are controlling the Big Brother house. None of the other houseguests seem to have a clue.

Last week Paul had complete control over the Big Brother house; he dominated the competitions thanks to his minions helping him. Paul solicited Alex to become a pawn, so that he could backdoor Cody Nickson.  The plan played out perfectly.  An unexpected perk of this plan was the relationship Alex and Paul established, and it seems to be quite beneficial to both of their games.  This is particularly true since Alex won this week’s Head of Household competition. This gave the pair control over the Big Brother house for the second week in a row.

Big Brother 19 Jessica Graf annd Cody Nickson

Now that Cody has been evicted from the Big Brother house, his showmance partner, Jessica Graf, has not been able to connect with either side of the house.  Jason Dent encouraged Alex to befriend Jessica to add another houseguest to their side of the house.  The secret relationship Alex has with Paul prohibited Alex from making that move.  Instead, she did quite the opposite and showed some loyalty to the other side of the house by nominating Jessica this week.

Once Paul spilled the beans that Dominique Cooper and Mark Jansen were fully aware of Cody’s  plan to backdoor Paul, Dominique was quick to fall out of grace with Paul’s side.  Alex and Paul both agreed that Mark and Dominique are shady players who could not be trusted in the Big Brother house.

In the end, they agreed Dominique was more of a competitive threat to their games than Mark.  Consequently, they decided Dominique should be the target this week: she was nominated and went on the block.  If she is able to win the Power of Veto  competition, and takes herself off the block, Alex will simply replace her  with Mark.

Paul still has a solid relationship with Kevin Schlehuber, and the two are much closer than anyone in the house is aware.  Dominique and Jessica are mostly unattached to either side of the Big Brother house.

Big Brother 19 Dominique Cooper and Jessica Graf

Alex is doing a good job of keeping peace within the Big Brother 19 house.  However, this is Big Brother, and past experience tells us that peace typically doesn’t last very long.  Now we just have to wait for the next disruption in the house to occur.  We will stay glued to the Big Brother Live Feeds in anticipation. If you miss any of the Big Brother 19 action, you can find all the updates on Big Brother Access.

Big Brother 19 Spoilers: Live Feeds Day 17 Highlights: Josh Finds Himself in a Pickle

Mark Jansen and Josh Martinez are arguably the most dramatic people in the Big Brother 19 house. That says a lot considering all the drama we have witnessed in the last three weeks on Big Brother 19. The two men started the season as friendly-ish. However, Mark, Jason Dent, Josh, and Ramses Soto all became Have-Nots this week. This is where the Big Brother 19 conflict began.

big Brother 19 Mark Jansen and Josh Martinez

Since then, there has been some hostility between the two men. Tension boiled over the first night, when Paul Abrahamian pulled a prank on Josh, but Mark got criticized for it. Yesterday in the Big Brother 19 house, things escalated even further between Josh and Mark.

Power of Veto: Before and After

Big Brother 19 Paul Abrahamian, Christmas Abbott, Dominique Cooper

The Big Brother 2017 day started with Head of Household Alex Ow and Power of Veto holder Jason discussing their Power of Veto plans. Jason stuck with his decision not to use the Power of Veto.

Alex wanted to make sure they kept Paul in the loop about it, but Jason dismissed that suggestion. He doesn’t like the control Paul has over Alex and the game.

During the Power of Veto ceremony, Dominique Cooper apparently gave a speech where she called out Paul’s minions. Elena Davies was one of the main people Dominique threw under the bus during this speech.

Post-Power of Veto, this lead to an argument between Dominique and Elena, and later Christmas Abbott and Dominique.

Josh Versus Mark and the Entire House

Big Brother 19 Cast

Mark and Josh played a game of pool. The game turned into a conflict when Mark claimed Josh lost, but Josh denied it. Mark then makes a scene by insisting Josh lost, and he wasn’t being a man of his word. Mark throws pickle juice and hot sauce right in Josh’s face.

Josh retaliates with condiments, specifically ketchup and ranch. After this, Mark tried to hug Josh and move on from the whole situation. Josh was not having it. It lead to Josh going off on Mark.

He went to the pool to calm down but the arguing continued. Eventually, everyone gathered around the backyard. Jessica Graf and Eugina Elena chimed in, and Josh started arguing with them.

When it all concluded, a few players discussed how Josh made himself a target going into next week’s Big Brother 19 game.

Jessica Plays Nice

Jessica Graf and Dominique Cooper

Since Cody Nickson’s departure, Jessica has been doing a great job of incorporating herself within the Big Brother 19 group. She’s done a good job of making Dominique feel like she can trust her. Jessica even told Christmas that she doesn’t want Dominique to feel alone because that’s what happened to her and Cody last week.

Jessica also has been telling players the truth about players like Raven Walton’s behavior. Yesterday, she told Josh how some of the women, specifically Raven, said he peaked on them in the shower.

Jessica has been doing a good job to set herself up as less of a target. However, this may change depending on who wins the Battle Back competition.

Other Highlights

Big Brother 19 Alex Ow, Ramses Soto, Jason Dent

Josh told the outsiders that if he wins HOH, he plans to put up Matt Cline and Mark.

Raven still wants Jessica out next, but everyone else seems to have moved on from targetting her.

Dominique gave a long goodbye-esque speech to the Live Feed watchers.

Vicki Gunvalson Wants To Be Friends With Tamra Judge Again; Thinks They Would Have Made Up If Shannon Beador Wasn’t In The Picture

WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE WITH ANDY COHEN -- Episode 14119 -- Pictured: (l-r) Vicki Gunvalson, Lydia McLaughlin -- (Photo by: Charles Sykes/Bravo)

 

It really seems like Lydia McLaughlin is in over head with this whole “Friendship Whisperer” shtick. She does not have the ability or the knowledge to reunite Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador with Vicki Gunvalson. She wasn’t in touch with anyone when she initially left the show and she didn’t even watch Real Housewives of Orange County when she wasn’t a part of the cast, so she just doesn’t know what she’s talking about- even if her heart really is in the right place.

Lydia is a bench player on the Real Housewives JV team while (most of) the other women in this cast are varsity starters. When Lydia and Vicki appeared on Watch What Happens Live, Lydia stuck to her guns as the self-proclaimed “Friendship Whisperer” and did what she could to be sassy, but it just fell flat. In more surprising news, Vicki actually admitted that she wants to be friends with Tamra again.

My boy Andy Cohen tried to bait Vicki and Lydia by asking about Tamra’s recent face lift. They didn’t fall for it though. Vicki said, “I think it looks great” and Lydia chimed in with, “She’s a babe.” So true though. The best face lift in Real Housewives history.

Andy continued to stir shit up by telling Lydia, “By the way Tamra and Shannon tweeted tonight that they asked you to stop talking about Vicki many times many times.” Lydia asked back, “Did they show that?” And Andy confirmed that they didn’t. Lydia insisted, “I mean I can say a lot of things too, but that’s why it’s video and we can all watch what happens.” Sure, video evidence is pretty concrete, but just because something wasn’t shown in an episode, it doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen in real life.

A viewer called in and asked Vicki if she and Tamra would have made up by now if Shannon wasn’t in the picture. Vicki asked back, “What do you think?” And then declared, “I think yes” before she posed the question to Andy who said, “I think without Shannon in the picture, we don’t know what would have happened with the two of you.” And of course Vicki declared, “I believe yes.”

Of course Lydia shared her two cents: “I think Tamra has been hurt. I think that hurt would be there if Shannon was there or not, but sometimes it’s nice to have an alliance with somebody.” Later Vicki admitted, “I totally miss Tamra. I’ve told her that. I want to bury the hatchet and I want to be friends again.” I’m not sure how accusing someone’s husband of secretly being gay can foster friendship, but stranger things have happened with Real Housewives friendships, so you never know.

Another viewer asked Lydia to “clarify exactly how Shannon is just like Vicki,” which is something I’m already tired of hearing about even though I can just tell it’s going to get dragged out all season. Lydia insisted, “I wasn’t allowed to finish my train of thought because someone was yelling at me. What I was trying to say that they both are alike because they both have been hurt. My intention was to try and bring them together.”

And it wouldn’t be a Vicki Gunvalson interview if Brooks Ayers wasn’t mentioned- even though she’s been dating Steve Lodge for a while at this point. A viewer asked about her relationship status with Brooks and the last time they talked which caused Vicki to freak out and hilariously wonder, “Why doesn’t anyone talk about Donn [Gunvalson]? I was married to Donn for twenty years. I dated Brooks for four and a half. It’s like come on. We weren’t engaged. We weren’t married. It was a boyfriend for a little bit of my time. There is no status with Brooks. He’s moved on. He’s in Indiana.” Oh, Vicki. Unfortunately the Brooks association is something that she will probably never be able to shake.

Southern Charm Reunion Recap: The Perils Of Barbecue Throat

SOUTHERN CHARM -- "Reunion" -- Pictured: Shepard Rose -- (Photo by Heidi Gutman/Bravo)

SOUTHERN CHARM --

I’m not going to lie…I’m still kicking myself for not going to the Southern Charm Reunion viewing party hosted by Gentry bourbon last night, but alas my day job got in the way. At Gentry’s finale party, Shep and Craig were there to watch with fans, and there was even a guest appearance by Dale Earnhardt, Jr. What? I am a closet NASCAR fan. Only in the south, y’all! Of course, it may have been harder to watch with the cast before snarking on their ridiculous behavior, so perhaps it was for the best!

As last night’s conclusion begins, Kathryn Dennis is still on the rampage regarding perceived indiscretions between Thomas Ravenel and Jennifer Snowden, and T-Rav is at the point of exploding. Kathryn then defends herself against the negative viewer reactions to her lunch with Jennifer while she sat like an ice queen glaring as Jennifer cried over her son’s health issues. Kathryn flips the switch and blames her assumption that Jennifer was using her tears to manipulate future editing of the scene. Jennifer is appalled that anyone would think she’d use her son for personal gain with plans, and it’s Kathryn’s turn to switch on the waterworks. Craig Conover reminds her that in rehab she probably learned she pushes people away as a defense mechanism. Yes, that’s right. Kathryn was in rehab. She’s on a journey. It’s about forgiveness talking about learning to do difficult things and realizing what battles are worth fighting. In case you’re wondering, grudges about handkerchiefs fall in the latter category.

After his forehead veins calm down a bit, Thomas lightens up as he addresses criticism for keeping his kids in the guesthouse. Um, you guys,he lives back there with them and makes them breakfast every morning on his nanny’s one day off a year.  Fatherhood has changed his life, and T-Rav is looking to leave his downtown compound and find a more family friendly neighborhood, where his yard is comprised of grass, not marble. Give the man a sandbox! Kathryn seems a tad ruffled by this revelation, but I don’t understand why. I also don’t think he’ll ever leave that house. He’ll just buy another in the ‘burbs. Whitney Sudler-Smith appears out of nowhere. I’m not quite sure where he came from or why he’s there, unless it’s to arch his eyebrows at comments like a cartoon villain. Don’t mind him. He’s just here for the tea.

SOUTHERN CHARM --

Andy Cohen turns the conversation to Landon Clements’ trip to New England to meet with Shep Rose’s business partners, and she maintains her innocence regarding the whole, “I don’t hang with millionaires, I hang with billionaires” fiasco. Landon claims to have been lured to the meeting with promises of a nice comped hotel, but she arrived to no room, just an invitation to bunk on their yacht. Before you go judging Landon for not being able to slum it on a boat, remember, she lived on that itty-bitty sailboat her entire first season. She stands firm that she never said the billionaires comment, but Shep counters that even her friend and business partner was embarrassed Landon’s behavior with the yacht entrepreneurs. Landon lashes back that as a woman in the work force, she felt it was highly inappropriate for these strange men to assume she’d be fine bunking with them upon their first introduction. Girlfriend makes a valid point, but Shep keeps interjecting that her business partner (I’m going to bet “former” business partner after the reunion) was not on board (yacht puns, y’all!) with how Landon acted.

Andy asks Austen Kroll if Landon ever says anything that sounds a bit ridiculous. Austen starts to hedge around the question, but Landon interrupts to say she stands by her comment that she wants a man who has expensive luggage with which to travel the world. Austen basically throws up his hands in defeat, and Landon is confused. What else would a girl look for in a romantic partner? Andy reminds her of the gold digger label she earned this season, but she accuses fans of just hating on her out of jealousy. Cameran Eubanks is all, well, yeah, but…and brings up the luggage statement again. Her husband is a wonderful man with cheap, crappy suitcases. He cares about other things. Landon is confused. Cheap luggage? With nary a shred of self-awareness, Landon keeps espousing all the pretentious and snobby remarks that originally caused a national eye roll.

After recapping T-Rav and Landon’s dinner date, Andy swears up and down that the interrupting drunk lady who claimed the two were soulmates was not a production plant. I don’t know about y’all, but I’m not buying it. The duo’s embellished romance reminds Kathryn of why she has so much disdain for dolphins. Kathryn and Landon argue over the Valentine’s weekend trip (it wasn’t Valentine’s Day! No, but it was!), and Kathryn still believes something happened between the pair. Kathryn has never known Thomas to spend the weekend with someone of the opposite sex and not test his boundaries, and even T-Rav can’t argue with her logic. She doesn’t necessarily care anymore, but she feels justified in her jealousy. Landon, who can’t quite decide which personality she wants to showcase, now understands why her actions may have seemed shady to Kathryn. She’s got perspective now, and she wants the fans to like her, by God. She’s empathetic, y’all!. This mini-revelation is good enough for Kathryn, and the two exchange tepid apologies. This segues quite nicely into the fallout between Landon and T-Rav in Key West.

SOUTHERN CHARM --

Landon had quite the about face while in Florida, going from bashing Kathryn’s recovery and mothering skills to backing her against T-Rav’s bad attitude. She knows what she says was hurtful and tells Kathryn she’s very sorry. Both girls acknowledge that their make-up wasn’t the most genuine, but they appreciate the other’s efforts. Well I’ll be damned!T-Rav takes to quoting Pride and Prejudice again when responding his unraveling friendship with Landon. He’s no Mr. Darcy though…he’s not virtuous enough. He admits that he and Landon are still close friends, and she follows that up by saying she just took him to a wedding in Santa Barbara. Thomas is no fool, and he tries to gloss over the admission. They were at the same wedding in California. Yes, Landon concurs, because she invited him to be her date. Kathryn’s side eye cuts through those magenta bangs sharper than Chelsea’s stylist shears. Their truce is short lived.

Speaking of, Chelsea Meissner joins the group, and she jokes that it was much harder watch this season of Southern Charm then it was to watch herself on Survivor. When Andy wonders about Cameran’s match-making attempts between Shep and Chelsea, Chelsea admits that she’s known Shep for longer than any of the other folks on the show–almost a decade. When Cameran is pressed about her own chemistry with Shep, she responds he’s like her brother. Maybe the brother from Flowers in the Attic? Cameran tries to maintain that she only pushed Shep towards Chelsea because she didn’t know that Austen was pursuing Chelsea. When both Austen and Shep call her out on this claim, Cameran cops to maybe, perhaps, just a little bit, she was simply sticking with her original plan. She didn’t know how serious Austen was for Chelsea. Chelsea doesn’t deny a connection with Shep, but she wanted less party boy, more lunch date. She shares that she and Cameran chatted about the fact that Cameran always hung out with lunchtime Shep or coffee Shep or first drink at happy hour Shep. As the only married cast mate, she was home with her husband long before nighttime Shep emerged…and nighttime Shep was the Shep Chelsea saw the majority of the time.

Shep apologizes for going after Chelsea and jeopardizing his friendship with Austen, and Andy wonders if he feels guilty trying to create a whole lot of nothing regarding Austen’s facetiming friendship with Landon. Austen admits that he did spend more of his day gabbing with Landon, but it was purely platonic. Everyone seems to think Austen didn’t cross any lines with her banter with Landon, but she may have turned up the giggling to a slightly inappropriate level. If I’ve learned two things about Landon, it’s that she’s not a gold digger, and she’s not going to apologize for her personality. I know these truths because she just repeats them over and over again until I conceded she must mean it. She has a flirty personality, and she is coy with everyone (well, maybe not the yacht guys or poor people). Landon doesn’t apologize for flirting with Austen regardless of his relationship status with Chelsea. When Chelsea challenges her, Landon blames Kathryn and Chelsea’s insecurities, not her behavior. Oh HELL NAH! Before Kathryn can even think of a comeback, Chelsea is telling Landon like it is, and Austen secretly smiles. He sees through Landon. Austen is precious.

The explosive boys’ night out is revisited, and Shep is all jokes until the topic turns to the night that Shep allegedly tried to force a kiss on Chelsea against her will. Austen knew he had to stand up for his lady friend, but he admits the thought of losing Shep’s friendship was a hard pill to swallow. Chelsea stands firm on her version of events, telling Shep he was way out of line. Like he did in Key West, Shep apologizes to both of them. Andy brings up that Whitney got a lot of criticism for defending Shep, but Whitney’s all, “Hey, he’s Shep!” Everyone is confused as to why Shep gets a pass just for being Shep. If another guy acted that way, he wouldn’t get the same support. Chelsea doesn’t think Shep’s behavior that night is being blown out of proportion. She concedes (and Cameran agrees) that nine times out of ten, Shep’s somewhat aggressive make-out attempt would make the young girls putty in his hands. I’ve seen this first hand any time I’ve spotted nighttime Shep at a bar–and to clarify, I’ve not seen any kind of boorish behavior when spying on him from my old-folks booth, but girls do tend to throw themselves at all of these yahoos. There is a lot of discussion on the double standard. Shep and T-Rav are aging playboys who close on site with much younger ladies, and everyone is amused. Chelsea hooks up with Shep and Austen and she deserves a scarlet letter. Kathryn can certainly relate.

Andy asks the burning question, and not, Austen and Chelsea are no longer together. They are both still so googly-eyed with each other, it’s hard to figure out who put an end to things. Shep looks excited, but both Austen and Chelsea are quick to say they aren’t opposed to a future reconciliation. I really want those crazy kids to make it! Shep’s drunken behavior (in Key West specifically) is revisited, and Shep downplays choking on a chicken wing at the airport claiming he was just suffering from barbecue throat. Cameran recalls that a stranger came up to her and said, “Your friend came and ate a fry off of my plate.” Shep feigns shock when his friends insinuate he probably should have been arrested in the airport for public drunkenness. Austen seconds that he’s surprised Shep got through security. The banter gets awkward when Shep seems to warn Austen to keep his mouth shut. Andy jumps on the perceived tension which confuses Shep. He clarifies that he got through security because Austen told him to keep his mouth shut.

SOUTHERN CHARM --

Craig realizes he’s not getting enough air time and piggybacks on Shep’s slight vulnerability. Shep wants to be married with children, and Shep says he’s fine how he is. It earned him a spin-off, didn’t it? Shep accuses Craig of needing kid glove treatment from those in his inner circle. He’s got thin skin, just like Trump. Andy agrees. Craig argues semantics when Shep states he (Craig) thinks he can do no wrong. Craig is just killing it. If that’s being perfect, so be it. At least he’s not a drunk, wasted alcoholic asshole like Shep. Shep takes offense. Craig is a bit a drunk himself. As their whining escalates, Andy reminds them they are both, in fact, drunk assholes.

There is still a bit of a spark between T-Rav and Kathryn, although Smokey the Bear would hope they never act on it as it would destroy everything in its path. They tease a bit about the off screen kiss that was the topic of the finale. T-Rav jokes it was a kiss on the cheek. When Kathryn corrects him that is was on the lips, he teases, “on the butt cheek.” His devilish ways still clearly work on Kathryn. As the reunion wraps, Craig is adamant he would have finished law school despite the pressure from Shep and Naomi, and Landon shares she’s still “working” on that lifestyle website while also “working” for her father. Cameran promises she’ll make time to baby-sit her friends even after her little one arrives. I’m going to miss these guys…but wait! They’ll be making cameos on RelationShep, which looks exactly like my kind of train wreck.

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE FINAL PORTION OF THE REUNOIN? WILL SHEP TURN OVER A NEW LEAF? DID YOU BELIEVE LANDON’S APOLOGY TO KATHRYN?
