Season seven of American Horror Story is officially American Horror Story: Cult. Series co-creator Ryan Murphy made the reveal at SDCC on Thursday after weeks of teasing the upcoming...Since Friday, Big Brother 19’s Dominique Cooper has been looking for a miracle to save her game and expose her enemies. She sees that Paul Abrahamian is a snake within the Big Brother 2017 game, but no one else believes her. Dominique even lost her closest ally, Mark Jansen, while trying to prove that Paul couldn’t be trusted.
Josh Martinez and Jessica Graf were the only Big Brother 2017 players who made some effort to interact with Dominique and not demonize her. Dominique chose to stay away from most of the Big Brother 19 houseguests. She read her bible most of the week.
Dominique’s lack of campaigning made it nearly impossible for her to stay in the Big Brother 19 house. However, nothing is impossible if you believe hard enough. If Dominique did get a Big Brother 2017 miracle, it would come in the form of the Halting Hex, which stops one live eviction within the next four weeks.
So did Dominique get the Big Brother 19 Halting Hex? And did she use it to save herself from eviction this week? Or did she become the fourth person evicted from the Big Brother 2017 house, will she face off against either Cody Nickson, Jillian Parker, or Cameron Heard on Friday’s episode?
MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION

A few hours ago, CBS concluded voting for the last Big Brother 19 Den of Temptation reward. This week’s reward, the Halting Hex, provides one player with the power to stop a Big Brother 19 eviction. The winner of this prize can use it within the next four Big Brother 2017 live evictions. 
There was a lot of speculation about whether it counts for this week’s Big Brother 19 eviction, or starts next week. Since it seems like Big Brother held the Den of Temptation reveal today, we suspected that it would work for this week’s eviction and the next three. For the last two weeks, Big Brother 19 fans have been campaigning for their favorite to win this final vote.
Originally, Alex Ow was projected to be the winner, because she had the majority on most major Big Brother 19 Halting Hex polls. This made sense considering Alex’s former popularity. Her popularity has decreased among the Big Brother social media fans, but she still seems fairly popular with the only CBS Big Brother episode viewers.
For drama, many Big Brother 19 fans rallied behind giving Jessica Graf the Halting Hex. This was a strong contingent for awhile. Then Dominique Cooper became the Big Brother 2017 week 3 target, and her fans have been pushing very hard to get Dominique the win. The media has even gotten involved with an earlier incident, which has given Dominique a little more name recognition.
So going into today’s Big Brother 19 Den of Temptation Halting Hex reveal, we had no clue who would get it. However now we know the name of the Halting Hex winner. Read below to find out who won the last Den of Temptation: Halting Hex on Big Brother?
Major Spoiler Ahead. Proceed with Caution.

Right from the jump, Erika Girardi and her alter ego Erika Jayne were beyond intriguing to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills viewers. From the much older husband to the fact that she has an alter ego and everything in between, Erika is always entertaining. Erika will share her life stories in a new memoir- published under stage name of course, so we know it’s going to be outrageous.
Even though the book is done, the Erika fans will have to wait until January 2018 to get their hands on it. In the mean time, Erika shares what we can expect from the memoir.
According to an article from People, Erika’s book takes its title from her Instagram handle: Pretty Mess. The book’s press release states, “Without Erika Jayne, Erika Girardi would just be another rich bitch with a plane.” Being a rich bitch with a plane sounds just fine to me, but adding a catsuit-wearing alter ego to that already fascinating situation sounds even more appealing.
People reports, “the book will recount her beginnings as dancer and singer. From there, it will trace her life leading up to the decision to join the other Housewives on RHOBH, life on set and her romance with her 32-years-older husband, Tom Girardi.” That’s what I really want to know about: the beginning of her relationship with Tom and how she went from being his waitress to his wife to getting him to fund her singing career.
Erika’s publisher Jennifer Bergstrom shares, “This book proves why Erika Jayne is a fan favorite: she’s fun and she’s fearless; and for the first time, she’s here to tell all.” Erika’s RHOBH costars (cough cough Dorit Kemsley and Lisa Vanderpump) have given her a lot of flack for being “cold,” so I can’t wait to see how open she is in her book. I just want to know “what she deals with every night.”

The last Real Housewives of Orange County episode was very Lydia-focused. With that said, it wasn’t the most exciting episode, even with Lydia McLaughlin’s conflict with Shannon Beador at Tamra Judge’s granddaughter’s birthday party. Lydia inserted herself in Shannon’s business within minutes of meeting her and Shannon truly went off the rails. It wasn’t a good look for either of them.
During the season premiere, Lydia said that she is the “Friendship Whisperer” and it really does seem like her heart is in the right place when it comes to uniting Vicki Gunvalson with Tamra and Shannon, but she just really overstepped her boundaries. She just returned to the show, she obviously didn’t keep in touch with Tamra and Vicki, and on top of that she just met Shannon. Talking to Shannon about her known enemy isn’t the most effective strategy to befriend her. Now Lydia is explaining herself and where she was coming from during that birthday party debacle.
As expected, Lydia has a ton to say in her Bravo blog and none of it was at all humorous. She admitted, “I was really excited to meet Shannon. Tamra is a good friend of mine and she said great things about Shannon. Believe it or not, but I brought up Vicki to Tamra and Shannon because I was trying to help!” I get that, but maybe she could have waiting until the second time she saw Shannon instead of mentioning Vicki immediately- plus it really was a little much for a child’s second birthday party, but at least Tamra’s lavish unicorn-themed party got a lot screen time.
Lydia insisted, “I didn’t want to be shady and not tell them about getting drinks with Vicki. I was trying to tell them: ‘Hey I got drinks with Vicki. She is hurt. You guys are hurt… let’s all move on.’ But I didn’t get to finish my train of thought.” I get that, but she really shouldn’t have lead with that and it’s expected for her to get drinks with Vicki since these people are contractually obligated to go out to lunch and discuss each other’s personal lives.
Lydia went on an on to explain this situation. She wrote, “Shannon just heard me say, ‘She is just like Vicki.’ And obviously took great offense to that. However, I feel I didn’t say that. She is seeing my words as hurtful but that wasn’t what I was even trying to say! I was trying to explain that they are alike because they both are hurt.” That makes total sense, but Lydia is just being overly enthusiastic with this Friendship Whisperer thing. Take your time, Lydia. It would go much better than just jumping right into this. Then again, that probably wouldn’t make for as interesting television.
On a sad note, Lydia shared, “Vicki shared with me how Shannon’s kids use to call her Aunt Vicki and how she feels a sense of loss and got hurt as well.” Still, Lydia adamantly declared, “I wasn’t trying to take sides but was trying to let them see that everyone is hurt. Shannon can disagree with that, but there is a way to communicate with people, and the way Shannon was talking to me was combative and erratic.”
Lydia made my point that she has no business getting into this drama right away when she admitted, “I wasn’t around the last few years, I didn’t watch RHOC and I really haven’t kept up with drama. I didn’t know all that had transpired besides what my friends told me.” Then why don’t you just get to know Shannon before trying to mend her relationship with Vicki? It really does seem like Lydia’s desire to help is genuine, but the execution is just all wrong.
She admitted, “I like them getting along. In my mind I was trying to go on the road of forgiveness by bringing her up, but the opposite happened.” That’s for sure.
Lydia wasn’t done though unfortunately. She wrote, “Please remember that I had never met Shannon. I had no clue how ‘expressive’ she is. I felt like she was attacking me, and for something I felt didn’t even say. However, Shannon wouldn’t let me explain myself. She was fixated on me saying she’s just like Vicki but I didn’t say that. She didn’t let me finish my thought. They are alike in that they both have been hurt by each other. Hurt is hurt. I am not condoning what either party has done, nor will I understand the pain the families have endured. I was really trying to help the whole situation but felt like I was misunderstood and was never given the opportunity to explain myself. I was trying to remain calm but was quite frustrated. Shannon just stormed off and I went home really upset that day.” Totally get where you’re coming from Lydia- it was just too much too soon.
Lydia continued, “I felt like Shannon flipped out about me bringing up Vicki but you can see on my face how blown away I was at her reaction towards me. I don’t understand her and have never had anyone I just met talk to me in the tone or intensity she did that day. I wanted to explain myself, but when I realized a resolution wasn’t happening, I just didn’t want to be fake and meet up again for dinner a few days later.” Oh, Lydia- that’s what the Housewife life is all about: having drama and then meeting up at a nice restaurant to hash it out in public.

We live in the Golden Age of TV...revivals that is. Well, also the original TV is also pretty good, but there's no denying it that reviving a TV show is the hottest trend in development right...
The Mikaelsons are ready to say goodbye. The Originals is set to end after season five, creator and showrunner Julie Plec announced on Twitter on Thursday, just ahead of the CW hit's...
Another season of Little Women: LA over, another random woman on the reunion couch reliving the details of hooking up with resident sleezeball, Matt Ericson [Grundhoffer]. At this point, it’s almost like the rancid cherry on top of each season’s finale – and the grotesque segue into Briana Renee and Matt’s subsequent Lifetime spinoff. As Matt’s Alaska hookup, Stephania, joins Kevin Frazier and the cast to tell “her side of the story,” Briana fights back – and Matt pathetically cries. And – ugh!!! It’s just too much! Haven’t we suffered enough? No more of this totally depressing marriage, please.
Part two picks up with Stephania joining the group. She explains meeting “sad, lonely” Matt after getting off of her shift, then listening to his tale of woe at the bar. Her assessment: His wife was to blame for his troubles, and also for the kiss that happened afterward! Briana apparently came down to the bar to yell at them, which fueled Matt’s fire and justified his reasons for being a sh*tty tortured husband. Stephania insipidly excuses her own actions, claiming she just wanted to understand this troubled man better! So she pulled him into a no-camera zone (employee workspace), let him kiss her after he walked her home (which he claims to have apologized for), then bid him goodnight. Yeah, right.
Matt defends that NOTHING beyond kissing happened, although Kevin (along with the rest of America) side eyes him about that statement. Also disgusting is how Stephania attacks Briana about being “crazy” and a bad wife. This woman, who knew Matt for a total of three hours, sure has a lot of opinions.
She doesn’t feel she owes Briana an apology either. “You’re the reason any of that happened,” snarks Stephania, turning the women’s movement back about 100 years. What a piece of crap this woman is. Hey – Maybe Matt and Steph should get together after all, thereby taking each other off the market permanently? Like containing a virus?
Even more pathetic is how vehemently Briana feels she has to defend herself (for Matt’s actions). Kevin agrees. In the end, Elena Gant has the only pertinent question on the table: “Did you use a condom?” Matt repeats his I-Did-Not-Have-Sexual-Relations-With-That-Woman speech, which, frankly, no one really cares to hear again. Then he pretends to cry.
Tonya Banks is also not having this trifling Stephania sh*t either – she needs this random chick to apologize to Briana. (Also, can we have Matt ejected straight up off of the couch, cartoon-style, right about now? I need to be done with this dirtbag.) Stephania will not be apologizing to Briana, Matt, her own husband (SHE’S MARRIED TOO!?!?) – or her “boyfriend.” Oh. My. God. Time to go home, random lady who wants TV time! Buh-bye.
Terra and Tonya then turn their attention to Briana, reiterating that she’ll just never leave her gross husband, even if he cheated on her right in front of her delusional eyes. “I wish the best for them in their open marriage!” snarks Terra.
After that hot mess ends, Kevin turns his attention to the cast’s babies, who all burst on to the scene at once, it seemed! The conversation about whose children have dwarfism and whose do not – and the impact it has on each family – is a hot button issue. Elena’s gotten used to having children who have varied needs, but Terra is still holding out on having her son tested. Penny is doing well though, and they’re just “taking it day by day.” As for Maverick (Briana’s son), he’s crawling and making progress, despite his struggles. Kevin compliments all of the mothers on their strength, which is shown in the love they have for their children.
Hope you enjoyed that sweet little segment – because back to the drama we go! It’s time to dive back in to the rift between Terra and Elena, who epically butted heads over Terra’s enormous ego. In a momentary sidetrack, Kevin first asks Jasmine how transitioning to stay at home mom life is working out. It’s a huge adjustment for her being a solo-parent, as Chris‘ schedule leaves her alone much of the time, but she’s proud of the independence she’s gained as well.
As for Elena supposedly dogging “working moms,” she counters that she’s not. She wants mothers to achieve their professional dreams. But in Terra’s case – especially when it came to Dancing With The Stars – it seemed like her priorities were skewed. Terra defends that she always puts her family first, and everything she does is, in the end, to better their situation. “I strike when the iron is hot!” says Terra.
Terra’s drive in business may have cost her some friendships, though, and definitely cost her the role of godparent to Elena’s twin boys. When Terra found out that Jasmine and Chris were selected instead of Joe and her, she went ballistic (of course), but she says it was the way in which she found out rather than the news itself that rattled her. Terra does regret her juvenile behavior at the baptism, and Elena even admits she ambushed Terra with the information there to hurt her. Their friendship went deeper than that, says Terra, who wonders how Elena could turn on her so quickly? Elena stands by her godparent decision, however, reiterating that Jasmine is the best choice. She trusts her more to “be there” in good times and bad, period.
This statement brings out the beast in Terra – which is not hard to awaken! – causing her to stand up and scream about being treated like “dog sh*t!” Elena again apologizes for keeping her out of the godparent loop, admitting her part in hurting her. But Terra is still upset about their current relationship, which has deteriorated further since the baptism (for a million different reasons).
After Kevin plays peacemaker, he quickly pivots to Tonya’s storyline next. Will she and Kerwin actually get married? Tonya’s daughter, Angelique, joins the cast to discuss her reservations about her parents getting hitched. It comes down to this: Angelique thinks her parents are rushing things. They’ve been on and off again for years, still have petty arguments and some deeper issues that need to be resolved. Also, Angelique hasn’t seen her mom commit to anyone, ever – so this all feels new and awkward for her.
Kerwin thinks it is the right time to get married, although Tonya is still scared. She needs Kerwin to “bring something to the table,” and feels like he isn’t driven like she is. Also, she thinks Kerwin still doesn’t trust her. And his comments about not wanting to “be the b*tch of the relationship” for doing minor tasks like cooking aren’t winning him any awards in the potential life partner department. As Tonya and Kerwin bicker about their issues, Angelique reiterates that THIS is what she’s talking about. Kerwin then snipes that maybe he’ll just take the ring back! So, these two are obviously doomed. Mazel!
Next, we see the return of Mary, who’s traveled all the way from London to fight with these women. And she kind of deserves a moment to do just that, given the awful treatment she was subjected to, especially from Elena. In general, Mary claims that little people are “quite b*tchy” toward one another, and these women are no exception. But is Elena feeling contrite for her behavior now that she’s had time to reflect? Nope! She still thinks Mary is a fraud with a huge ego, and doesn’t have any interest in being friends with this chick.
To prove Mary’s b*tchiness point, she and Elena get into a full-on shouting match over Elena’s bad intentions at her fashion show prep meeting. Mary thinks Elena should have come in with better intentions, but Elena bottom lines it for her: “No, Mary, you don’t get to tell me what the f–k to do!” Um, okaaaay. So, these two obviously need to be separated by an ocean. Forever.
But wait! After Mary tears up, explaining how she can’t stand the way these women rip each other apart, Elena says she actually is sorry for the messy way she acted. In the end, she really doesn’t want to have any long term beef with Mary. Mary seems to hear Elena’s words (which do seem heartfelt), until Terra jumps in to comment that she wouldn’t believe anything coming from Elena’s mouth at this point! “Go f–k yourself, Terra,” flatly responds Elena, who is simply not mincing words at this reunion. Bam.
Ah, it’s the topic we’ve all been waiting for: Briana’s B.O. And I have to say once more, I simply cannot BELIEVE this issue was put on blast. It’s just gutter level stuff (which I guess we should expect that this point), and truly embarrassing for Briana, who’s even had strangers on the street come up to offer her a bar of soap since these issued aired. (Ouch!) Terra yells that Briana shouldn’t be embarrassed about her stink; she should be embarrassed about her husband! Maybe so, but this topic seems below the belt – even for this epic sh*tshow. Kevin agrees, reminding Terra that cutting people down at this level is just plain wrong.
After Mary is dismissed, Kevin wraps the reunion by asking the ladies what’s next for each of them. Christy is working on getting her voice back, Briana is working on her horrific marriage, and Tonya is expanding her activewear line (and venturing into therapy – which she and Kerwin definitely need). Jasmine is simply navigating her new home life, while Terra and Joe work on home renovations. Elena would love to have another child – if she can get Preston on board, that is!
On a final note, Elena says she and Terra will never get their friendship back to where it was. (Although, recent pics of them celebrating Elena’s birthday in Vegas prove otherwise!) In the end, there’s “show drama” and real drama. Something tells me that Terra and Elena will be just fine in real life – although they’ll probably heat their cold war up again by the time season seven rolls around.

The post Little Women: LA Reunion, Part Two Recap appeared first on Reality Tea.
The most shocking part of the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion was when Ashley Darby announced that she is living separately from her husband Michael Darby. It got even crazier when Michael actually blamed Gizelle Bryant, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, and Robyn Dixon for their marital issues.
Sure, the gossiping didn’t help, but there’s no way that three outsiders were actually responsible for the demise of Ashley and Michael’s relationship. So of course Gizelle is standing up for herself and throwing some serious shade- as per usual.
Gizelle discussed Part 2 of the RHOP reunion in her Bravo blog. Of course, she had to talk about Robyn and her ex/current/future man Juan Dixon. Gizelle stood by her fellow green eyed costar and said, “They are a great couple and I believe the romance is there just waiting to blossom. In the meantime, I will cross my fingers and mind my business.”
Then it got to the really interesting stuff: Gizelle was asked about Michael accusing her, Charrisse, and Robyn of being “a factor in their in their split.” Gizelle did not hold back. At. All. She said, “Just when I was starting to like Crocodile Dundee he goes and says something foolish to remind me that yep, he can go right back to Australia. I refuse to be his scape goat. Instead of blaming he might want to realize that he married a teenager and he’s a card carrying member of AARP.” Well, damn.
After throwing that shade, Gizelle said, “I had no idea that Ashley and Michael were separated and to be honest I was shocked. They seem to be extremely connected and happy. I know that no matter what happens with her marriage Ashley will land on her feet. I felt sad for her in that moment.”
After Gizelle brought up those rumors about Charrisse and that firefighter last year and Charrisse was so hurt by the ordeal, I figured Charrisse would never do the same thing to another woman. Clearly I was wrong since Charrisse put Karen Huger on blast for having an affair with her driver/body guard without providing any receipts. Gizelle wasn’t surprised though since she said, “Of course Charrisse brought up the driver. She couldn’t WAIT to bring him up. Is anybody talking about the fireman anymore?!?! I mean that was Trump style deflection.” My real question here isn’t even about the affair. I just want to know who Karen thinks she is that she needs a driver and/or bodyguard.

At least she didn't bork herself! Known as one of the few Real Housewives who can hold her liquor pretty well, viewers got to see Luann D'Agostino drunker than she's ever been...
UPDATE: We can now add the season seven premiere date to the list of things we know about the Once Upon a Time revamp! As captured by a fan in the below tweet, the show's 2017 Comic-Con...On Sunday, we saw Alex Ow nominate Jessica Graf and Dominique Cooper. All week in the Big Brother 19 house, Dominique has been the target. The Big Brother 2017 houseguests wavered a bit about whether to strike at Jessica this Big Brother 19 week, or stay on the path to evict Dominique.
Alex and Raven Walton wanted Jessica out because they personally didn’t like or trust her. However, Paul Abrahamian, the leader of the Big Brother 19 cast, had a big vendetta against Dominique for (rightfully) calling him a snake in the game. Last night, there was some last minute late discussion about evicting Jessica. However, we expected Paul to switch the target back to Dominique, because she’s a bigger threat to his game.
The majority of the players in the Big Brother 19 house completely trust and respect Paul. They do whatever he says without much questioning and doubt. So things weren’t looking good for Dominique.
Nevertheless, as host Julie Chen would say, ‘expect the unexpected.’ This week’s Den of Temptation power, the Halting Hex, played a lot into what could happen on tonight’s eviction. If it was given out on Wednesday, that meant the Halting Hex applied to this week’s eviction, and could save Jessica and Dominique from eviction.
If the Halting Hex didn’t start until next week, Dominique or Jessica would leave the Big Brother 19 house on Thursday and face off against the round 2 Battle Back winner.
In the end, the Halting Hex came into play this week. So what could that mean for this week’s Big Brother 19 live eviction?
Yesterday Big Brother 19 Live Feeds concluded with no one revealing that they won the Halting Hex. However, Jessica and Dominique seemed the most likely winners, and demonstrated the most suspicious behavior of all the houseguests.
We believe that there will be no eviction this week. Dominique or Jessica will use the Halting Hex and halt the eviction in its entirety. What this means for the Battle Back winner? We will have to see on Friday.
Tune into Big Brother 19 at 9/8 CST to see if anyone gets evicted. Then join us tomorrow morning for a recap, and later that night the winner of Battle Back competition reveal.

Once again, Luann D’Agostino made TV history by drunkenly falling into a bush during the Real Housewives of New York cast’s Mexican vacation. Although I loved that scene more than anything and even rewound it a couple of times, it wasn’t enough to make me forget about those reports that her marriage with Tom D’Agostino is “hanging by a thread” and that she slapped him in a restaurant.
This is especially true since Luann was Andy Cohen’s guest on Watch What Happens Live– so of course she had to discuss the latest Tom rumors.
Andy couldn’t help telling the former countess, “I’ve never, ever seen you so drunk.” Luann countered with, “I don’t drink margaritas. We were traveling all day. it was a really long trip and we drank as soon as we walked into the house.” Whatever. Nothing to apologize for Lu. I was loving every second of drunk Luann and she has nothing to be sorry about. Party on, girl.
Then, Andy got to the juicy stuff: the “alleged” slap. Luann said, “I did not slap him,” but she should have just stopped there because after that sentence her rebuttal got a little bit questionable. Luann added, “We have a very passionate love affair going. We never go to bed angry, but when we do, we wake up and make up.” After Andy called her out for the inconsistency of that statement, he asked about the slap yet again and she said, “No, no of course not.”
And once again, she should have just stopped there because her explanation of events isn’t the most flattering. Luann shared, “It’s ‘gossip,’ come on. I touched his face in a very loving way and people took it as a slap.” No idea why she would say that, but it’s definitely not going to clear up any rumors. Then again, there are always rumors about Luann and Tom so maybe she’s just used to it by now.
Andy asked if she had a fight with Tom in a restaurant and she admitted, “Absolutely, lovers’ quarrel.” So apparently there was at least some small granule of truth to that report about the restaurant slap. If only the Bravo cameras were present to capture this incident.
On a lighter note, a viewer asked Luann about getting upset in Vermont because she “deserved” the best room in the house because she “just got married.” Surprisingly enough, Luann took ownership of her behavior in that situation. Well, as much as Luann can anyway. She admitted, “Looking back, you always feel bad. You look like you’re spoiled. I had just gotten married and my room had no electricity. I was very happy because the house was beautiful. Looking back I go ‘Damn. I look like I was spoiled.'” If only Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan reached that level of clarity while watching these vacations episodes- the world would definitely be a better place- or at least the staff members at these resorts would have a much easier time.
On the After Show, a caller asks Luann who she thinks gave Page Six the story about Tinsley. She says undoubtedly that she thinks it was Sonja. “That had Sonja written all over it.” Luann reiterates that she loves Sonja, but “Sonja loves to gossip.”

Who says you can't go home again? Ryan Seacrest will return to American Idol, once again hosting the reality singing competition. American Idol will return to life after just a year off the...The friendships on Real Housewives of Orange County are constantly shifting, so it’s a little bit surprising that Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador are still so against rekindling with Vicki Gunvalson. Then again, she did spread rumors that Tamra’s man Eddie Judge is secretly gay and David Beador beats Shannon, so it makes sense that they would want to keep their distance.
Then again, they are all contractually obligated to the same reality TV show and they have to be in the same room at some point so it’s an unrealistic notion and here we are: watching this mudslinging, shade throwing, and secret revealing drama.
Vicki had a lot to say about the second episode of the season in her Bravo blog. Of course she had to address her own daughter going to her frienemy’s granddaughter’s birthday party. She revealed, “I was proud of Briana [Culberson] for attending the party with the boys despite myself not being invited. I encouraged her to go and celebrate with the kids and just to keep it light hearted. Briana and I are at the point in our lives where we are DONE talking about my past relationship and the drama that terrible man caused in my life. Briana did the right thing by going to the party, which set an example by showing that she doesn’t want to have issues with Tamra or Sara, and this party was about Ava.” Briana definitely handled the situation well- like she does with everything else on this show, so it isn’t at all surprising. It’s kind of strange that she and Tamra didn’t even say “hello” though. Nevertheless, that’s a two-way street.
Thankfully Briana breezed in and out of that birthday party because the hot topic of conversation was her mother (yet again). This time it was Lydia McLaughlin who brought up Vicki which was just way out of bounds given the setting and the fact that she just met Shannon. Vicki said, “I was proud of Lydia for staying calm when it came to Shannon voicing her negative ‘opinion’ about me. First, let me set the record straight. I’m not obsessed with Shannon (or Tamra for that matter) and the problem is they think it’s ok to talk negatively about me, but no one can say anything negatively about them.” The only person that Vicki is obsessed with is Vicki and in all honesty it’s the other women who bring up Vicki whenever they can.
Vicki continued, “The reason why I told Lydia about the issues between Tamra and Shannon was because she asked me what happened, and I had to tell her. She was coming from a place of trying to resolve our issues, and in order to do that, she needed to know what the issues were.” This makes sense since Lydia obviously dropped all of the cast members as friends when she quit the show and she admitted that she never watched it so she need the facts if she was going to shit stir return this season.
Vicki took it upon herself to lay down the law. I have no idea who’s actually going to comply with this but after Vicki declared, “Here are some things I think you should know,” she asserted, “I don’t want to continue bringing up my past relationship anymore.” That is never going to happen. Brooks Ayers faking cancer documents was arguably the biggest scandal in Real Housewives history and it’s going to take a lot for Vicki to break away from the stigma.
Vicki refused to refer to Brooks by name: “It’s been over for two years since we broke up and the other girls will ever know what I went through by being with ‘him.’ I have a lot of questions myself, but unfortunately, I will never know why he did what he did what he did to ME. It’s done, and it’s in the past and it makes me sick to my stomach to continue to rehash it. Looking back, I can see more clearly all the red flags that I didn’t see because I was too close to it. Lesson learned.” Yeah that’s the beauty of watching your life back on reality TV- then again it’s really double edged sword because so many people hold Vicki accountable for this whole mess.
Vicki addressed the allegations she made about David and Eddie. She said, “Regarding David and Eddie, I had no intentions of having this information revealed or I would have said it publicly or when cameras were up.” Or maybe you just shouldn’t have said those things AT ALL….
Still, Vicki defended herself : What I did say to Kelly [Dodd] PRIVATELY over a year ago (when neither one of them were speaking to me) is, ‘there are rumors out there about Eddie and why doesn’t Tamra ever address them… and why is it okay for her to talk badly about me but she doesn’t want anyone talking about her marriage or her relationship with her daughter?’ That’s some questionable reasoning there….
Vicki insists, “My conversation with Kelly was at a time when I was continually being attacked by Tamra and Shannon, and their constant mission to tell LIES about me to get attention for themselves.” How mature of her… She alleged, “Kelly had already heard the ‘rumors’ about Eddie so it wasn’t something that was new to her.” Surprisingly enough, Vicki said, “Hindsight, I shouldn’t have said anything to Kelly and for that I’m sorry. I never meant to hurt Eddie or Tamra.” What was she expecting to happen after she said all those things?
Vicki wrote, “I should have not talked to Kelly about their marriage and let her see for herself the issues there. I apologized to Shannon last year, and the reason why it keeps being brought up is because SHE won’t let go of it. I expected her to let it die down, so the attention was off of that subject but unfortunately, Shannon cannot move past it and therefore it’s not going away.” Shannon is the queen of holding grudges, but I feel like most people wouldn’t be able to simply “let go” when it comes to stories about domestic violence.

These actors and actresses know how to kill it! And by it we mean they know how to totally transform themselves for their true crime TV roles. From Sarah Paulson's wigged out...
Seacrest in! It's official: Ryan Seacrest will be back as the host of American Idol when it returns on ABC. It was announced that Seacrest, who hosted all 15 seasons of...Oh. My. God. Mexico had no idea what was coming! Because when The Real Housewives Of New York decide to invade your country in the name of booze research, you need to erect a wall around them. Last night, Bethenny Frankel’s tequila-inspired adventure sailed right into crazyville, where Ramona Singer (whose face suddenly resembles a grated radish) took room-grabbing to new levels, Luann D’Agostino [de Lesseps] tumbled drunkenly into bushes and concrete patios, and Tinsley Mortimer accused her benefactress of being a traitor.
We begin with the group arriving in Mexico, where Bethenny already has the sh*ts – or the flu – or spontaneous diarrhea in response to staring at what little skin remains on Ramona’s face (courtesy of a chemical peel). Carole Radziwill is looking forward to Taco Bell and to congratulating herself on her matchmaking skills with Tinsley and Scott. They are an official item! The ladies play “marry, f–k, kill” in the car on the way to their rental, then take a gander at a stray d*ck pic Sonja Morgan received on her phone from a wrong number. If anything, this is an omen of things to come.
The Mexico house is gorgeous and, more importantly, up to Ramona’s standards. Not up to her standards? Her assigned room, of course. So Ramona immediately ropes Sonja into finding the best room available. They’re perpetually living in a 1980s L’oreal commercial, endlessly repeating to one another BECAUSE YOU’RE WORTH IT! to justify their increasingly insane demands. Bethenny scolds Ramona on playing “the room game,” noting she’s sick of her being a “miserable, nasty tw*t” on every trip. To shut this fiasco down, she finally forces the women to choose numbers from a hat to determine rooms.
Tinsley wins the best digs, leaving Ramona to sleep in the shed out back with the barn animals where she belongs. But then Tinsley graciously hands her #1 room over to Bethenny, kowtowing to the very woman who screamed “GROW UP!” at her last week. Oh, Tins. Go drink a few Tito’s and rethink your priorities, girl!
But #RoomGate has just begun. Ramona and Sonja think Tinsley is a turncoat for giving her room up to Bethenny – not to THEM! I mean, Tinsley has benefited from everything that Sonja’s dusty stuffed animals and un-flushed toilets have had to offer these past many months. And now she dares not to repay her in kind? Harrumph! When the stink is raised, Carole reminds these two broads that every room in this house is gorgeous – so just STFU already! But STFU they will never do – not until they have won the prize, even if Sonja has to pull out stories of her mother cracking her hip on staircases to justify her need for a first floor room (WHAT the actual HELL, Sonja?!?!).
Dorinda Medley finally resurrects Bethenny from her pre-vomit nap to call off the dogs. Wandering in to Dorinda’s (possibly temporary) room, Bethenny reminds these grown women of what six-year olds already know: “You get what you get, and you don’t get upset!” Even though Sonja admits that her own daughter would never act like half the obnoxious a$$ she does, she doesn’t give a rip! Ramona, Ramona’s partial face, and Sonja are not leaving without a fight. Ready to give up her room (again) to these maniacs, Dorinda nearly makes a break for it – but Bethenny is not having it. She’s about to go all Braveheart on these b*tches, practically shouting FREEEEEDOM! as she demands they calm the eff down and march their backsides to their assigned quarters.
But Ramona, now a$$ firmly planted on Dorinda’s bed, refuses to leave – even when Dorinda threatens to take her sh*t and throw it in the pool! Finally, tweedle-dumb and tweedle-facial-tics wander up to their assigned room. They’ll just have to take out their residual anger on the hapless house staff, who Ramona immediately starts ordering to plug in her electronics, unpack her curling irons, and make Earl Grey tea on the Queen’s schedule, por favor! The staff comply, silently communicating to one another about who shall be the first one to spit in Ramona’s pinot tonight.
Downstairs, Bethenny takes to her bed while Dorinda forces Carole to learn the balloon game. Then the group gathers by the pool (sans Ramona, Sonja, and Bethenny) to regroup after having to take up arms against the gale-force windbags that obnoxiously blew threw the house. Dorinda hasn’t had her nap, so she’s thinking about skipping dinner. And I have to say, I feel ya, Do! Luann is not about to leave any marines behind, though, attempting to force Dorinda into action.
For her part, Tinsley is just scared poop-less about Sonja being mad at her. Bethenny joins the group to remind Tins that Sonja is not the boss of her – SHE is! Juuuuust kidding. But she does think Sonja is better off when she’s not with Ramona. It’s like a$$hole squared when the two of them get together. None the wiser, Ramona and Sonja laze by the beach in their chairs, kissing and complimenting each other on their awesomeness.
At dinner later, Bethenny is an hour and a half late for dinner…and is still the first to arrive. Upstairs, Tinsley shares an upcoming Page Six story (that she gets a tip on from a friend) with Carole, which is not too complimentary of Tinsley’s lackluster houseguest manners. Why this is a story is worth printing is beside the point; Tinsley thinks Ramona planted it. She can’t imagine that Sonja, who is her “friend,” would ever do such a thing. Carole thinks she might be right, but when Bethenny gets wind of it, she immediately points the finger at Sonja.
Proving all of their points, Sonja and Ramona are currently in their bathroom b*tching endlessly about Tinsley whilst they affix nipple covers to one another’s racks. Dorinda doesn’t show at dinner, and but super-drunk Luann has arrived to take Gangsta Do’s place! YESSSSS! When the group hears that Ramona is STILL upstairs doing her makeup, they wonder how, exactly, one applies foundation to raw hamburger? It’s troubling.
After Ramona and Sonja finally join the dinner party, Luann offers a toast of thanks to Bethenny for organizing the trip. Ramona butts in that “it’s a GROUP trip!” to which Bethenny retorts, “Why are you an a$$hole?!?!” Alas, Ramona doesn’t consider herself an a$$hole. She’s more of a truth-teller, in her mind, and just says “what everyone else is thinking.” Except when everyone else is thinking, “Ramona is an a$$hole,” I guess.
No longer able to stay silent, Tinsley puts Ramona and Sonja on blast about the Page Six article. Ramona claims she avoids the press, and Sonja also defends that she’s innocent. But who cares? thinks Sonja. Tinsley’s been trying to get back into the press for ages, and now she is! Sonja would rather watch Luann’s eyes try to drunkenly track the conversation anyway, because, well – it’s delightful! It’s not every day she gets to see her Snatch Guard tie one on.
It’s also not every day that Tinsley gets to tell someone “Shut the f–k up!” – but she does just that to Ramona, who seems flustered for half a second by the fact that she’s just been yelled at by the Housewife equivalent of Bambi. “I’M A LOVELY HOUSEGUEST!” screams Tinsley, hopping up and down, hands flailing. Bethenny still thinks Sonja is Deep Throat. She loves the press, and loves to look good in it, so she probably leaked the story. But Sonja won’t confess, even if it is true – and even if Tinsley cries the very last of her tears into her cocktail over it, then storms off.
Bethenny also thinks Sonja needs to get a Ramona-ectomy STAT, cutting that spastic tumor out once and for all. But Sonja will always stand by Ramona, which is sad considering how readily Ramona throws Sonja under the bus (remember last year?). Nothing she says will tear Sonja away from her co-conspirator – not even calling the pair of them “mean old ladies!”
After wandering outside with drunk Lu (who I am quickly falling in deep, abiding love with – #DrunkLu4Eva!!!), Ramona tries to string words together about friendship and loyalty and blah blah blah. Luann drawls that she “loooooooves” Sonja! Just like she loves Tom! And Palm Beach! And dancing, mid-conversation! Which she does, promptly falling into the bushes as a result. LOL! Please, Wasted Luann, I beg you: Never, ever leave us. <red heart emoji>
But wait – Wasted Luann is NOT leaving us yet! Since Ramona has the emotional intelligence of a rubber boot, she decides to keep talking about her life’s woes while walking around the patio with Luann (or rather, propping her up). Until Luann loses her grip and her footing – but never her dignity! – falling a$$ over teakettle down to the sunken patio below. Not skipping a beat to register normal human empathy (Such as: Are you okay? Can I help you?), Ramona just obnoxiously chides, “You should have gone THIS way!” before slowly walking around to lift Luann off of the literal curb. Ramona = beyond comprehension. She’s either taken a master’s class on how to act like a bizarre lunatic at ALL times, or it comes naturally.
And that brings us to the end of this wild ride. Can we just pause here a moment to reflect on how deliciously marvelous this episode is – and just how damn good RHONY has gotten these past few weeks? Is it just me out here clapping and cheering? I feel like the gang is back! Not to say we approve of all of these ladies’ behavior – no, no, no. But they came to PLAY. And I can’t help but love them for it.
*Writer’s Note: We had a tornado touch down in the middle of this episode and I lost my TV signal more than once. If a little (or a lot) is left out of this recap – my sincere apologies! I trust you’ll fill in the blanks in the comments section.
*Editor’s Note: Erin wins the recapper dedication award. She not only lost her signal, but part of her roof, gutters, and deck! And still carried on and recapped this hot mess of a show. We’re so glad you’re safe and sound, Erin!
TELL US: DID SONJA PLANT THE PAGE SIX STORY? CAN YOU BELIEVE RAMONA AND SONJA’S ROOM ANTICS? IS DRUNK LU THE BEST THING YOU’VE EVER SEEN (SINCE DRUNK DORINDA)?
