Even though Meghan Edmonds had zero interaction with any other cast members for the first three episodes this season, she sure has a lot to say about the ladies now. Obviously she has some strong opinions about the new girl Peggy Sulahian ever since she physically shut her lips to stop her from talking.
She is still mad at Kelly Dodd for accusing her husband Jim Edmonds of having affair in response to Meghan asking Kelly if she was having an affair herself. In my eyes, those were pretty much the same offense, but Meghan feels like Kelly really crossed the line just because Meghan was pregnant when they had the conversation. If someone wants a stress-free pregnancy, I don’t feel like instigating Kelly Dodd is the way to go.
In an interview with Bravo’s The Daily Dish, Meghan continued to talk about the text message conversation that she started with Kelly and how offended she is. I would also like to point out that this happened off camera before the season even started filming so it’s not like this would have been on the show at all if Meghan herself didn’t bring it up.
How is what Meghan did not just as offensive as what Kelly did? Meghan really thinks that’s the case though since she said,”She likes to use idioms and I don’t think she always gets what they mean.”I’m like I don’t need the stress of dealing with her meanness when I’m pregnant, so I shut it down. So I guess in Kelly’s mind she thought we resolved it, but i just think it’s f***ed up — you don’t do that to somebody. So I just cant get over that.” She “shut it down,” yet she is the one who brought the rumor to the show. Then again, if she didn’t Kelly might have brought it up eventually. After all, she is Kelly Dodd.
Not only is she (still offended) by this exchange of texts, but she is also offended by Kelly accusing Tamra Judge of being the new puppet master and giving Shannon Beador Stockholm Syndrome. Meghan said, “Sometimes I think Kelly doesn’t understand the word that she uses — like how is Tamra trying to make Shannon do what she wants? I don’t get that. To me I’m just like, really, do you even know what that word means?” No, she probably doesn’t. Kelly is the Jax Taylor of RHOC when it comes to the mixed metaphors and poorly-applied idioms.
Another person who never seems to say the right words (or at the very least pull any joke that isn’t super offensive) is Peggy. From saying her husband “beats her every Friday” to physically shutting Meghan’s lips, this woman is really batting a thousand when it comes to upsetting people. But Meghan doesn’t really seem to care about Peggy at all since she told People, “I really don’t have a relationship with Peggy, I mean, she’s weird. I totally do not connect with her at all.” No one does. Literally no one in this cast had any relationship with Peggy before she joined this show and adding her into the mix is just so random and truthfully not working so far. Maybe she will gel with the cast as the season goes on, but she’s definitely not a hit right out the gate.
Just when I thought that Meghan would have no story line this season, her issues with Peggy are (ironically) provide her with her main story line on the show. She told People that the two of them would “butt heads” again this season and the article also points out Meghan’s “disinterest in [Peggy’s] antics] and quoted Meghan saying, “Everybody feels this way.” If by “everybody” she means the viewers, then yes, I have no interest in Peggy so far…. Nevertheless, I’m giving her a chance.
Aside from talking about current cast members, Meghan had another interview with Bravo’s The Daily Dish and discussed her former costar Heather Dubrow who she keeps in touch with “here and there, but it’s like she’s doing her own thing.” And just like everyone else, Meghan hasn’t visited Chateau Dubrow and declared, “No, nobody will.” Unless she gets back on the show.

Tonight is an all new episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. “Vicki tries to balance her crazy life alongside her growing relationship with Steve. Lydia plans a launch party for her new magazine, but is hesitant to invite everyone. Tamra organizes a sit down for Kelly and Shannon that she hopes won’t end in a screaming match. Meghan hosts a Sip-N-See for baby Aspen where all of the ladies will finally be in the same place for the first time in months, finally bringing Tamra and Vicki face-to-face.”

It seems like this will be another predictable Big Brother 19 week. Paul Abrahamian deserves a lot of credit for managing to have everyone so tightly under his thumb that they wouldn’t dare go against his wishes. For the majority of the Big Brother 19 game, Paul has had two goals: get out Jessica Graf, and get out Cody Nickson.
He succeeded in getting Cody out week 2. However, the Battle Back brought him back into the game, and he’s managed to ride out four additional weeks. Cody’s game longevity meant the end for his girlfriend, Jessica.
Paul completed another one of his goals last week by removing Jessica from the game entirely. He won’t be able to get rid of Cody completely because he will play a part in crowning this year’s winner.
However, Paul is one step closer to sending Cody into the jury home, for good. Paul will then have completed his main two goals, and he can move on to other targets. And focus on his main goal of the season: win Big Brother 19.
So did Paul get his way once again, and get Cody on the Big Brother 19 block?
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Of course, this is Paul’s show and we’re just all watching it. Matt (I’m nominated too) Clines removed Jason Dent from the Big Brother 19 block, and Alex Ow named Cody Nickson as his replacement. Either Matt, Elena Davies or Cody will walk out the Big Brother house on Thursday. Someone else will immediately follow him or her to the jury house by the end of the night.

Shondaland officially has a new address. Shonda Rhimes has the TV world buzzing with news that she and her mega-successful production company would be decamping from their long-time home...
Let the voting begin! Girl on Top 2017 has officially launched, meaning it's now time to start voting for your favorite TV actresses. Round one is always stacked, but this year it was...The dueling cliques definitely dominated the story lines last season on Vanderpump Rules – well, that drama and the wedding events with Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz. If you follow the cast on social media, you must have noticed some super random new friendships.
If you don’t follow the cast, then you’ll probably be shocked whenever these new episodes air. Why? Get ready for it: Katie and Lala Kent are actually friends. Yes, hell has frozen over and pigs are flying. They are getting along, taking pics together, and putting a halt to the trash talking.
Katie appeared on The Morning Breath to share some updates about the upcoming Pump Rules season. And spoiler alert (in case you didn’t believe me the first time): she’s actually friends with Lala. I have no idea if this happened at the start of the season or toward the end, but it’s obviously going to be a major plot point next season.
Katie confirmed, “Yeah. At the reunion in February we squashed it. I kind of had a moment of clarity, especially after the wedding. I kind of just felt this release of everything and I was like ‘I’m not this person. I don’t want beef with her. I don’t know her.’ And so it’s felt really good. Getting to know her has been really nice and eye-opening. We actually get along a lot more than I thought we would.”
Not only that, but she also said “yes” when she was asked if her fellow Witches of WeHo (Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute) have accepted Lala as well. Wow.
After a season of hating on Lala for dating a married man, Katie said, “She has a boyfriend. He’s not married.” And she even shared, “I vowed to not talk about her life.”
The clique harmony isn’t the only shake up the fans can expect next season. Ariana Madix’s brother Jeremy Madix will be a around a lot more. No word yet if he’s officially a full-time cast member, but Katie said, “He works at SUR and I think he’s living with Tom [Sandoval] and Ariana right now.” Still, she emphasized, “I don’t know much he filmed” and “I don’t know him that well.”
As far as Jeremy’s sister Ariana and her pal Scheana Marie go, Katie explained, “We actually don’t have issues with Scheana or Ariana. They just have a chip on their shoulder about us.” So it’s clear that not every person in the cast is getting along these days.
Katie admitted that she has not seen any sneak peeks at Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s spin-off series, but she heard that “there was a lot of drama.”
The possibility of the Tom & Tom restaurant partnership with Lisa Vanderpump also came up. Katie did not confirm whether or not it is happening, but she did tease, “You will find out.” So is that a yes?

Sonequa Martin-Green is the new lead character in the Star Trek TV universe. Get used to it. When Martin-Green, a veteran of The Walking Dead, was announced as the lead of Star Trek: Discovery,...At this point there’s no doubt that Shannon Beador is having the toughest time out of all the Real Housewives of Orange County cast members this season. From her marriage, to her weight, to her fights with Kelly Dodd and Lydia McLaughlin, she has really been struggling.
Not only that but she lost her previous alliance member Heather Dubrow and she still refuses to speak to Vicki Gunvalson even though they’re cast members on the same reality TV show.
Shannon talked discussed (her completely unrealistic) refusal to interact with Vicki in an interview with Bravo’s The Daily Dish podcast. She was asked, “When you found out Vicki was coming back this season, was there part of you that was like ‘I don’t know if I could do it again’?” First off that is an absurd question. Like her or not, Vicki is Real Housewives of Orange County. If Vicki hasn’t been fired at this point, she never will be.
But Shannon doesn’t care at all about seniority and she’s doing whatever she can to avoid Vicki– minus stepping away from the show, which is clearly the easiest way to avoid the OG of the OC. Shannon insisted, “I made statement last season and I meant it and that was ‘I’m done with you’ and while I wish her well, I hope she’s happy, and I forgive her, I do not and will not have her in my life anymore. That’s how it has to be if I want to maintain my authenticity.” Again, I have to point out that this is impossible. They are staring in the same show. They have to interact.
Shannon added, “I don’t think anyone would continue on with a friendship with someone who made criminal and false allegations about a family member.” That is completely understandable in real life, but in reality TV it just isn’t going to work.
Someone that Shannon probably won’t see ever again is her former costar Heather– who seems to want absolutely nothing to do with the RHOC ladies at this point since Shannon (and every other cast member) has not been invited to Chateau Dubrow. Still, Shannon confessed, “I was very surprised that Heather Dubrow didn’t come back. It’s been an adjustment. We have two new cast members and let me just say that I wish Heather was back.” You don’t know what you have until it’s gone and I think we could all do without Lydia and Peggy.

The Pearson withdrawals are real, y'all. Thankfully Sylvester Stallone of all people is here to help ease the pain of no new This Is Us episodes until the end of September. Stallone...After a tumultuous minute and a half on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Eden Sassoon is done with the Housewife life. It’s probably for the best since it seemed like a brutal experience for her. Plus, now she can keep it real and shit talk everyone who she thinks has wronged her from the cast. And Eden has a lot to say about everyone.
Eden talked with fellow RHOBH alum Brandi Glanville on her Brandi Glanville: Unfiltered podcast about all things Housewives and her very public interactions with The Bachelorette alum Josh Murray.
“It’s so nice to just talk openly with a woman who sees life and keeps it real! I want Brandi Glanville back on #RHOBH Season 8,” Eden captioned the pic above on Instagram. “Please bring back REAL.”
Eden has been posting photos with Josh and other shirtless Bachelorette cast members and she even made a separate Instagram account solely to document their vacation. At the end of the interview, Brandi straight up asked Eden, “Did you have sex with Josh?” Eden admitted, “No, but I want to.” At the beginning of their talk, Eden said, “If he didn’t want children, I would go after it in a heartbeat.”
Aside from that Bachelorette crossover, most of the discussion was about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, of course. So obviously they had to discuss last season’s ultimate shit stirrer: Lisa Rinna.
Eden said, “Let’s be honest Lisa Rinna needs her paycheck.” Those dusters aren’t going to sell themselves. Still, even Brandi admitted, “Without her this past season, it would have been really boring.” With her, it was still really boring, but Rinna asking Dorit Kemsley if people were doing coke in the bathroom really gave me life.
The ladies continued throwing accolades at Rinna. Eden said, “She’s f-cking insane.” Brandi added, “She’s absolutely bat shit crazy.” How sweet.
They moved on from shit talking Rinna to throwing the two remaining original cast members under the bus. Brandi said, “I joke that Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle [Richards] took last season off.” True, but why stir shit up when you can just coast and let the new girls do all the work? It sounds like an ideal job to me. As a viewer, I obviously want more, but if I were in their (super expensive Louboutin) shoes, I would also take the opportunity to just sit back and relax.
Brandi continued, “They didn’t do a damn thing.” And Eden agreed by saying, “Nope.” She also explained their rationale by assuming they said, “Let’s bring in Dorit and pawned her off to the rest of them.” Aside from Rinna’a pot stirring, Dorit’s pot stirring was the only story line we could count on. Even Eden admitted, “She’s great for what she’s doing.”
And of course they had to discuss the cast moving on without them. Brandi said, “If I went back right now, I would be telling everyone to ‘F-ck off.'” I feel like she’s already done that though? And Eden talked about how she felt when she saw a photo of the cast on a Vegas trip: “I saw a picture of all of them on a balcony and I just wanted to vomit in my mouth.”
Weirdly enough, the only person who reached out to Eden when she got the boot was Kyle. Eden said, “It’s interesting because on camera we didn’t really get along. She gave me the hardest time. Off camera and how forgiving I am, I get it.”
The only person who Eden seemed to end up liking was Eileen Davidson (who is not returning next season as well).
Eden shared, “Eileen and I had moments. She saw me for me.” Brandi agreed, “She’s normal.” And that is exactly why Eileen wasn’t meant to be a Housewife. She’s normal, busy on her own, doesn’t need the money, and is actually a nice person. The only strange thing there, was her loyalty to Rinna (who has done a lot of questionable things). Eden remarked, “It’s very interesting between the two of them. They must have had a past life together.”
And then Brandi said what a lot of the longtime viewers have been thinking: “You want to see what happens like in Atlanta Housewives. That’s real shit. People are going to jail. New Jersey: real shit. It’s going down and everyone’s being themselves. It’s almost to the point where how many diamonds and rose can we have and fights over Kim‘s sobriety?”
Exactly. Kim Richards hasn’t even been a cast member for years and she is still the focal point of this show. They better bring it next season and keep Kim’s name out of their mouths.

The Stark sisters are being played. Perhaps too easily, but this is the first time Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) and Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) have been together in a long while. In the fifth...Last week on Shahs of Sunset, the Israeli experience was all about getting drunk and partying. This week? It’s time for the Shahs to get spiritual. And by spiritual, I mean fight nonstop with each other about religion. How enlightening!
It’s 9 AM – do you know where your MJ is? It’s no surprise that after a night of heavy drinking and trashing her hotel room, Mercedes “MJ” Javid and her dirty feet still aren’t up for the morning. The rest of the gang is getting ready and eating breakfast but no MJ to be found. Worried that maybe she has suffocated under her own boobs, Reza Farahan FaceTimes her and immediately wishes he hadn’t. MJ likes to claim she’s always fresh as a daisy after a night of drinking but time (and alcohol) has not been kind to her. She’s looking more weed wacked than freshly bloomed.
Mike Shouhed has arranged for everyone on the trip to get to pick out what they would like to do on a certain day and today is all about the spiritual quest of Asa Soltan Rahmati and her unborn baby. That’s right, her baby is on this trip too and don’t you forget it for a second.
Asa is taking this gang of morally devoid hooligans to a city called Akko, which is known for people of Christian, Islamic, and Jewish faith all living together peacefully. Asa doesn’t just want to go there, oh no, she wants to do an art project about it FOR HER BABY. Sigh, can’t she just stick to some Elmer’s glue and macaroni for her art projects? No, she cannot because one day, she wants to show her 100% organic cotton-clad baby that people can coexist peacefully in this world. OK, fine but I hope she doesn’t plan on ever showing her baby old episodes of Shahs of Sunset.
Once they arrive in Akko, Asa heads off to meet with three spiritual leaders who are being paid to put up with her saying things lie “come on, are we all so different!?” as she gazes around the city during their tour. She begins to interview them to discuss how they get along with each other and they have some pretty profound things to say about religion, humanity, and love. But Shahs aren’t that profound so elsewhere in the city, we join Reza throwing pieces of food at stray cats hanging out in dumpsters.
The rest of the Shahs were also given cameras for Asa’s project and asked to take to the streets of Akko to interview the townspeople about…..ummmm we don’t know. Because all the Shahs do is blurt out “Muslim or Jewish?” anytime they see someone, playing the most culturally insensitive guessing game possible. Not to mention the fact that they are also in an exclusively Muslim sector of the city. So as you can imagine, it’s going great and by great, I mean awful. No one wants to be filmed and they are getting dirty looks left and right. I would imagine the Shahs are used to this back home in L.A. but apparently, Mike is freaking out. According to Mike, all it takes is one guy to call another guy, who calls another guy and then there is a sniper on the roof taking them out. Well, that escalated quickly in his brain. I thought it was just a few days ago when he was busy convincing everyone to come on the trip because Israel is such a safe and loving place?
Ominous music plays and Mike says they need to move on before the sun goes down. Reza is disappointed because he was expecting to see all kinds of people living together in harmony, sitting in circles, strumming the guitar together, and singing about love. But I guess that only happens in Asa’s world because that’s exactly what she’s doing with the spiritual leaders while the rest of the gang dodges feral street cats and imaginary roof snipers.
As Asa twirls around in her kaftan to the music and singing, she reminds us that she is an artist, who is having a biracial baby and this is what she is all about. I’m not sure what “this” is but when she reunites with the group, she wastes no time telling them how earth moving and life changing her jam session was. No time to hear your arty-fartsy shit, Asa – Reza is on a downward spiral and sweating profusely. He loves the street cats more than he loves people and Asa tries to talk him off his ledge of Muslim disconnect. “Just open your mind”, she urges, as if she has just solved world peace single handedly. Well, with her baby, of course.
Back on the bus, Mike is also freaking out about the fact that no one else was paying attention to what was going on around them. Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi thinks he’s being a tad overdramatic, saying anything outside of his nice little Jewish bubble scares him. Mike maintains that he loves everyone, except for all the people he hates.
Later that night, the gang heads over to Mike’s family dinner, hoping to wash off the nerves of the day at Shabbat. Mike hasn’t seen his family in over ten years, but you would never know since they all greet him so warmly and lovingly. They hug and kiss and tell him his beard makes him look like a hipster. Shabbat starts and Reza feels like he is finally being accepted into the Jewish part of his family but through Mike’s family accepting the Jewish part of him. He even gives an impassioned toast about how he is getting the true Israeli experience with them. GG can’t help but guzzle her wine and roll her eyes, annoyed that Reza just threw a peace party but is now shunning his Muslim side.
The next morning, a pregnant Asa is feeling sick. She read somewhere that a pregnant woman lying down is doing more work than someone who is running a marathon. OK, I have to interject because I have done both and I can assure you, running a marathon is way harder than lying down while pregnant. But I can say with certainty that a pregnant Asa is way more annoying than a regular Asa. Also speaking from experience here.
GG is still annoyed about Reza’s new love for his Jewish side and complains to Destiney Rose and Shervin Roohparvar. When Reza walks in mid-bitchfest, GG tells him her feelings. Reza fires back that she can’t even begin to understand his experience as a gay Persian man. GG is all, “yeah, yeah but it is what it is and you have to enjoy the good parts,” whatever that means.
Honestly, can the Shahs make up their mind? Are they going to be open-minded or not? We have Mike talking about how loving Israel is, then running for cover in the streets out of fear, then we have Reza holding peace parties, only to talk about how much he hates the Muslims who shun him for being gay. Now GG is about to hit the Wall after scolding everyone to take the good parts but immediately talk about tearing it down because it’s like a barrier to her own religion. Sigh, I can’t even keep up. Either way, Reza promises to make an effort to not slam Islam while they are in Israel so that settles that. And as if on cue, MJ struts in, dressed in skin tight denim on denim, which is just the outfit for a spiritual pilgrimage to the Wall.
Before they head out, Mike brought them all journals so they could write down their wish and leave it at the wall for it to come true. MJ writes a rambling book and when asked to share with the group, we realize that if she’s going to leave that at the Wall, she’s doomed. She blabbers on about starting a passion project, leaving behind a legacy and then some more unintelligible musings….the musings of a crazy woman. It was like going on a tour inside of her head and let me tell you, I got lost at the first turn. So did everyone else because Reza emotionally tells her to maybe hone it in on something more specific and that her legacy could be getting married and having kids.
They arrive at the Wall in Jerusalem and it’s breathtaking. Reza enlightens everyone as the drive through the streets that “Jesus walked these streets, chilling with his friends” and I can feel the magic of the moment already slipping away. Once at the Wall, the women cleanse their hands and are told to cover up their cleavage. GG is already annoyed that there is a men’s section of the Wall and a women’s section and refuses to pray, saying it’s “just a Wall.” Mike prays to the Wall with clarity, hoping to find the next Mrs. Shouhed, hopefully one he won’t cheat on this time.
Let’s see if next week remains as spiritually enlightened as this one.

Did you miss Game of Thrones' casual revelation? In the fifth episode of season seven (yes, this season is going too fast, we agree with you), Gilly (Hannah Murray) and Samwell (John...Cody Nickson is playing Big Brother 19 a lot different than he has in previous weeks. He didn’t try to stay when he originally got evicted, but Cody finally started to play on his last Big Brother 19 night. However, it was for Jessica Graf and not himself. Upon his return to the Big Brother game, he tried to play Jessica’s game. That got neither one of them anything.
Then after that, Cody chose to isolate himself with Jessica for her final week. Now, Cody has been socializing, being nice to everyone, helpful, open, and friendly. It has the Big Brother 19 houseguests shook.
Alex Ow wanted to rub it in Elena Davies’ face, once again, that she keeps her word. She told Elena that she would not make her a Have-Not this week because it was her birthday. Elena thanked her, but Alex had no say in this week’s Have-Nots.
The Have-Nots selected were the first four players to be eliminated in this week’s Head of Household competition. They were: Mark Jansen, Paul Abrahamian, Jason Dent, and Kevin Schlehuber.
Elena and Mark realized that their only chance of game survival is to get Raven Walton and Matt Clines on their side. Mark and Matt had a discussion about teaming up, but Matt wasn’t that open to it. Mark even made valid points about Josh Martinez, Christmas Abbott, Kevin, Jason, and Paul spending a lot of time together without them.
Later Matt and Raven talked about how they were most worried about Kevin, and needed to figure out where he was in the game. They discussed possibly backdooring Alex down the line.
Mark and Cody also discussed how no one in the house is making any big moves, which probably means this season isn’t playing well with the viewers.
Paul and his minions discussed making Elena think that she was going out this week. They still planned to backdoor and evict Cody, but they wanted Elena to believe she would go out. This meant that Mark and her would be a little rattled during the double eviction Head of Household competition, and lose it.
Then they could get Elena out next.
Throughout the day, Cody tried very hard to convince Alex and Jason to keep him in the game. He told them that he could protect them from the rest of the house, and Cody mentioned how he could help them get rid of Paul. They just needed to not vote him out this week.
Jason and Alex listened. They also played along for a bit, but eventually told their group about Cody’s campaign. They said there was no way they would keep him this week.
Everyone but Raven, Paul, Josh, Kevin, and Cody attended an Outback dinner. When the houseguests returned, they were full and happy.

You know what? I think we could all be excellent marriage counselors (at least to this wayward lot) after watching 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After for this long. Simple truths emerge in every couple’s twisted mess. Like, for instance, don’t marry someone you trolled on the internet for six months, outright lied to, then expect them to love you for your pathetic self (looking at you, Danielle and Jorge!). Or, maybe get to know each other’s families just a wee bit better before signing on the dotted line (cough, cough: Chantel and Pedro). And lastly, find out if your future wife has delusions of becoming a model at age 30 before your house goes into foreclosure and your career circles the toilet. Russ could have deduced these facts from a simple 2-question quiz, no?
Anyway, their loss is our ridiculous television gain! Because this week, we continue to watch three out of our five couples unravel in the most spectacular and depressing ways. In the endless case of Danielle and Mohamed, a courtroom is finally entered. And Walmart Tom is not invited. Paola lays down on a dirty bed in used lingerie for a music video, pondering whether Russ will be cool with it. Chantel and Pedro’s families continue to vie for most atrocious in-laws EVER, and Loren makes her debut as Tourette’s ambassador in D.C. (Hmm. One of these storylines is not like the others.)
In the Dominican Republic, Chantel has just called Pedro’s mom and sister every name in the book. They think she’s delusional and insane; she thinks they’re a pack of selfish b*tches. So, they get each other. But when Chantel goes back for more – with Pedro – they decide to additional more insults at each other. No matter what the original miscommunication was, Chantel thinks Pedro just doesn’t stand up for her, plain and simple. But he does manage to get his sister and Chantel to sit down for a hot minute, only to get schooled by mama and sister again. They think they deserve Pedro’s money, it’s their culture, and she needs to get with the program or divorce him. Sick of this hamster wheel, Chantel huffs off again. This is going nowhere, so what’s her next move? Well, she has none. She’s already married to this guy, so it’s his way or the highway.
Outside, Chantel wonders if they’re still going to go through the charade of this second wedding? Breaking down in sad/mad tears, she repeats that Pedro just never takes her side. He still wants to walk down the aisle again though, so he’ll be waiting for her. Along with the rest of the haters.
It’s four hours until Danielle and Mohamed’s pre-trial court appointment, and Danielle is suddenly making this whole issue about her kids – who have been systematically ignored, tossed aside, and tormented by Danielle’s self-inflicted disaster from the beginning. Interesting timing, Dani! Even the family cat is like, WTF, lady?
Mohamed is also ready for battle, telling himself that Danielle is the bad person, while he is an innocent victim. This is also laughable on every level. Then Beth visits Danielle before court, egging her on and listening to her ramblings like only the mutually deluded can do.
In New Jersey, Paola arrives to prep for her “big” Reggaeton music video, which can be described as follows: Girl lays on creepy bed in sexy outfit and smiles while holding old iPhone. It’s got #1 hit written all over it. Paola must carefully prepare for this layered, nuanced role overnight. She’s hoping to wear a Russ-approved sexy dress for the shoot, but the producer is like, um, no. Full stop. She’ll be wearing the consignment shop thong they give her, then she’ll take the cashier’s check for her work and like it! Paola looks nervous.
It’s the return of Loren and Alexei! And it’s not that exciting, but hey, let’s toss them one measly exclamation point. Loren is in D.C. to speak as a youth ambassador for the Tourette’s Association of America. She’s nervous, especially because Alexei isn’t with her. She’s also concerned that she might “tic” on stage, but given the varied cases (some much more severe) of Tourette’s all around her, one would think she’d experience nothing but compassion for them and gratitude for her own mild case. Of course, she makes it a big deal that Alexei “freaked out” when she found out the disorder is hereditary. To the credit of one parent she talks to, he doesn’t roll his eyes straight at her when she complains about this. And Loren does make an effort to reach out to hear other kids’ stories afterward, so good for her.
Back in the DR, Pedro and Chantel continue their endless drama – this time, without the cameras. But TLC’s crew will not be daunted in their task of recording this sh*tshow! Audio from inside their room reveals Pedro asking Chantel to go forward with the wedding, despite their families’ attitudes. Maybe everyone can just apologize? he thinks. As if that changes the enormous cultural and familial chasm between them – for life.
Back up north, Paola is on set for her shoot. She meets again with Chris Rondon, the producer, who hopes Paola’s husband isn’t going to be a problem for his video. He needs his paid model to wear what she’s given, but Paola knows that Russ won’t be on board with the lingerie they give her – nor the a$$-up position she’s required to wear it in. Quick question: Are we really supposed to believe Paola is shocked by this wardrobe request? I guess so, because before the shoot, she throws up – twice! Oy.
Finally acquiescing to the director’s demands, Paola drags her post-puking self over to the ratty bed and makes the magic happen. By magic, imagine Paola pretending to text on a phone, then cheese-smiling to the camera every three seconds. Another question: Couldn’t this crew have tossed homegirl a quick deep condition on that hair? It’s a bit…crispy.
Despite her “major concerns” <side eye> Paola gets right into the vibe, aided by the director’s super helpful comments about “going to get a Latino – no more white boys!” This is also something Russ will love seeing transpire. It’s all worth it, mi amore! Even the lice Paola has definitely contracted from this gig.
In D.C., Loren prepares for her speech. Before taking the stage, she gets a call from Alexei, who – SURPRISE! – has flown to be by her side. Aww. It’s actually very sweet (if not a bit enabling), and given the rest of these couples’ horrific marital trajectories, I’ll take it! These kids do seem very much in love.
Loren is of course thrilled to have Alexei’s support, and once she takes the stage, gives an honest, touching speech. Alexei beams with pride, then meets a mother and daughter who Loren connected with earlier. Alexei admits his worries about having children with Tourette’s, which the mother confesses isn’t always easy. But she says it can also strengthen a marriage, and no matter what challenges your children face, you will love them completely. Alexei appreciates these words, kissing Loren afterward and telling her how proud he is of her. She used to not talk about Tourette’s to her closest friends, and now she’s giving speeches. Go, her!
But, enough of that wholesome love fest. For now, we must travel back to Ohio, where Mohamed is video-recording his drive to the court house. LOL!!! He plans to record everything that transpires IN the court house as well (uh, is that even legal?). It’s basically Mo’s last ditch effort to prove he’s the honest Eddie of this zoo-crew. Just stopping short of wearing a “SHE’S THE BAD PERSON!” t-shirt to court, Mohamed’s tactics seem single-mindedly focused on deflecting all blame. We’ll see if the judge buys it.
Danielle and Beth, who are watching Mohamed Snapchat himself silly all the way down the sidewalk, don’t seem to think he’s got a chance. But his batsh*t recording schtick is doing just what it intended – i.e., making Danielle CRAZY before she even walks through the court house doors. Now she just has to keep that crazy tucked safely away in her duffel bag for the next hour or so. Which, for her, is next to impossible.
TELL US: IS PAOLA REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT RUSS’S REACTION TO HER VIDEO SHOOT? SHOULD PEDRO STICK UP FOR CHANTEL MORE? WILL DANIELLE LOSE HER MIND IN COURT, OR WILL MOHAMED BE THE ONE TO CRACK?
