Tonight we get just one reunion episode to rehash things and let the cast give extended explanations regarding their behavior, their charter guests and the charter season overall.
Malia White, Wes Walton, and Adam Glick are given a chance to hash out their love triangle. Malia will cop to leading on both Wes and Adam, but tries to justify the why. She does reveal that she and Adam never had sex, although nobody is giving Andy a straight answer on exactly what they consider “sex”.
Captain Sandy admits that had she known Adam was blatantly ignore charter guest requests (Oniongate returns!), that she would’ve fired him on the spot. Adam does some apologizing for his behavior toward Sandy, Lauren, Hannah and others, but blames it all on his heartbroken state.

I’m sure we’ll get to hear them dish on charter guest flirtations (hello, Hannah and Bobby!), crew tensions and so much more!
Join us here in the comments to snark through the reunion at 9/8 C!
What do you hope to hear tonight? What do you wish we had seen more of this season? Do you hope the show will get another season with this crew?

To be honest, I wasn’t feeling Real Housewives of Dallas when it first debuted. There weren’t any strong story lines and the one-liners were pretty sub-par. Nevertheless, it did pick up and I did get invested in RHOD just like I have with every single Real Housewives show that has come before it- so obviously that’s not super surprising.
Even so, I wasn’t exactly pumped for Season 2, but true to form, I watched anyway. Was I blown away or immediately drawn in? No. I paused my TV to wash my face and brush my teeth mid-episode. Still, it does seem like the show is moving in the right direction when it comes to casting. Thankfully they didn’t add random people to the show and D’Andra Simmons actually has a longstanding history with most of the cast members. This makes so much sense and it gives me hope for Season 2.
In her first Bravo blog post, D’Andra shared, “Before joining the show, the only person I didn’t know in our group of friends well was Brandi [Redmond].” Again, I have to emphasize that this is a great thing because it adds to the authenticity of the show and it gets rid of that awkwardness of adding a totally random woman like we’ve seen on other Real Housewives shows.
One episode in, D’Andra has not been a part of any drama, but she definitely has some opinions- especially about the surprising feud between former besties Brandi and Stephanie Hollman. She admitted, “Seeing the drama and heart break play out between Brandi and Stephanie is very sad to watch. I didn’t know the full story before we met, or the details that led to their split, so I’m watching it play out with the rest of you!” No one saw this drama coming. They were attached at the hip during Season 1.
D’Andra continued, “I can see why Cary [Deuber] and LeeAnne [Locken] would want to help reunite these two former besties because I know what caring people they both are. I know LeeAnne better than most, and I can tell you that with Brandi, she is coming from a place of protecting. She will always stand up for someone she sees as the underdog and feels other’s hurt as her own. However, I try to stay out of other people’s business…except for my mother’s. Besides, the ‘do good’ messenger always gets shot, right?” To be honest, I actually agree with most of that. It really does seem like Cary and LeeAnne both genuinely care about the discord between Brandi and Stephanie, but I do not think that Cary is involving herself. She’s more about them working out their differences on their own.
D’Andra declared, “I don’t really have time for this anyway, I’m in the middle of taking over an EMPIRE, and there is going to be a coup d’état very soon! I’m focused on my next military move. Good thing I’m married to a veteran!” Well, you very much do have time for this since that’s what being a Real Housewife is all about, but I do get her point and I’m a fan of hers so far.

Even though we are only a few episodes into this Real Housewives of Orange County season, it is still hard to figure out Peggy Sulahian. None of her metaphors or jokes make any sense. Is she trying to be funny or does she just actually not know what’s going on?
As of now, it’s hard to tell, but one person who does not seem to be a fan of Peggy’s is Kelly Dodd. Sure, that hasn’t really come across in the episodes we’ve seen so far, but Kelly definitely makes it clear that she is not too fond of the new girl these days.
In her Bravo blog, Kelly shared, “I find that watching Peggy continually struggle with social norms and colloquialisms baffling. I know she was born in Kuwait and is proud of her Armenian heritage, but didn’t she grow up in the US? Didn’t she go to school here? Didn’t she live here all but one year of her life?”So much for being politically correct…
Kelly continued, “I guess Diko [Sulahian] shelters her, or maybe she is used to primarily associating with other Armenians? Regardless, while her naivety at times comes across as cute, it’s starting to wear thin. Keep watching, you’ll see.” It’s already worn thin and it has nothing to do with cultural differences. Peggy has zero relationships with anyone in the cast and she inserts herself into situations she knows nothing about. Still it’s pretty interesting to see that Kelly has such a strong opinion of Peggy based on the episodes that have aired so far. Clearly some shit goes down between these two at some point during the season and it’s apparent that Kelly hasn’t learned her lesson when it comes to talking about other people’s husbands.
Weirdly enough, Kelly was really killing it during the last episode. She wasn’t arguing with anyone. She was actually getting along with Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador. It was definitely a different Kelly than we’ve seen in the past. Kelly wrote, “The path to reconciliation starts with baby steps. I appreciate Tamra facilitating the meeting with Shannon and me.” She continued, “This time, we were able to talk about the debacle at the Quiet Woman, like adults, in a constructive manner. I was glad we found some common ground and were able to laugh together and leave feeling friendly towards each other. We should be friends. Shannon has a good heart and loves to have a good time. I like that about her.” Considering that Kelly said that Shannon’s husband “beat the shit out of her” in front of reality TV cameras, it is very unlikely that the two of them will ever be friends, but then again, stranger things have definitely happened.
Still, it was a pretty good episode for Kelly since most of the drama revolved around Shannon and Tamra’s refusal to talk to Vicki Gunvalson at the party Meghan Edmonds hosted for her newborn baby. Kelly said, “I am glad that Vicki decided to attend. I know the perceived grievances between Tamra and Vicki, and Shannon and Vicki, run deep, but I still believe their friendships can be rekindled, even if they don’t think so.”
Kelly wrote, “While the tension at the party between them was palpable, I am glad for all of our sakes that everyone was on their best behavior.” I guess that we can credit baby Aspen’s presence for everyone being calm at that party, but Kelly actually had a pretty hilarious observation: “It was funny how Tamra and Shannon practiced saying hello to Vicki whilst shopping, but, when the time came to offer a cordial greeting at the party, they never had the nerve to do so. Another lost opportunity.” After all that hype, there was no hello or any other interaction at this party. How long are they going to ignore her even though they are contractually obligated to hang out for this show? It cannot last the whole season- right?

Patrick Dempsey is ready for his TV comeback. Two years after the actor walked away from Grey's Anatomy, killing off his beloved character Derek Shepherd in the process, Dempsey has...
We return to The Real Housewives of Dallas for what is rumored to be an amazing season. Unlike last, this is the first season fully intended to be part of the “Real Housewives” franchise. The tone has already changed from a ‘poop centric, charity loving, cartoon,’ to a southern fried drama with a side of pink dog food; ridiculous!
Cary Deuber is awarded with the first scene, hosting a doggy play-date for her and Stephanie Hollman. Cary reveals she considers Steph one of her best friends now. These women pair up quickly. We meet Biscuit, the newest Hollman dog. Much like her husband Travis Hollman, Biscuit enjoys running around the house with her panties in his mouth.
New Housewife and dog lover (watch out Lisa Vanderpump) Kameron Westcott walks in and Biscuit runs right out. Is this an omen? After Cary fills us in on how wealthy the Westcotts are, we’re told the women have been friends of 6 years. Kameron dives in feet first, unapologetically bragging about how she’s not afraid to play the dumb blonde card, and the benefits of having a “Blonde” vanity license plate.
It doesn’t take too long for Dallas’s top charity resident LeeAnne Locken‘s name to be dropped. Cary’s planning a birthday party for her husband Mark Deuber and warns Stephanie. Cary reminds us that despite LeeAnne calling her a home wrecker, she’s welcome at the party. Meanwhile, perpetually scared Marie Reyes is still out for blood. She tweeted a police report about her former friend, LeeAnne, swinging a knife and attacking an ex-boyfriend with sandpaper (!). Tell us more! LeeAnne never disappoints.
Flash to Brandi Redmond and LeeAnne who are currently friends. Gone are the days of LeeAnne calling her the “little mimicker.” These two are tight.
Back at Cary’s, Stephanie learns that Brandi will be invited to Mark’s birthday as well. Stephanie is admittedly nervous and we learn she and Brandi had a falling out; no communication, no poop talk, nothing. Stephanie admits she’s reached out to her ex-bestie but to no response. Brandi tells LeeAnne she’s been hurt by what Stephanie said in the press about her marriage, calling it a “recipe for disaster” and even “a slow car crash.” Ouch.
Brandi looks really stressed; she seems to have had the fun sucked out of her. This feud is really grating on her, despite her claims of moving on.
Elsewhere in Dallas, Kameron (and her maid) is making roasted pumpkin pasta. In between her washing full pumpkins in the kitchen sink, we meet her husband Court Westcott. Fun Facts include: the two met at 22 years old in college, she’s 6ft, he’s referred to as a “hobbit,” and they’re both nerds. Court’s a venture capitalist and clearly does really well. They live in a 7,500 sq. foot home in Highland Park, Kameron’s pink bubble away from the real world. This woman is on her own planet. God bless her, y’all.
LeeAnne and her boyfriend Rich meet up with D’Andra Simmons and her husband Jeremy over some pinot and dinner. LeeAnne turns serious giving full eye contact, full hand motions in her interview stating, “D’Andra Simmons comes from a legacy family of Dallas.” We can only assume she’s in good standing in the charity world. Impressed yet? Oh, and she and LeeAnne are best friends (Side Note: What happened to her other best friend and former housewife Tiffany Hendra?). Rich discusses his detached retina tear and plans for retirement. When asked what’s next for him, LeeAnne (not so subtly) hints at a proposal. Second hand embarrassment is felt by all.
Later we’re treated to a whole day in the life of the newest housewife, D’Andra. She and her maid, Fannie, fuss over a big upcoming breakfast. D’Andra’s mother Dee Simmons is coming to breakfast. D’Andra explains her father and uncle are both self-made millionaires. We’re treated to a fabulous 1980’s family portrait. Big hair and large old man frame glasses! The Simmons’ name is a big deal – it’s even showcased on many buildings around Dallas. D’Andra admits she grew up spoiled with 275 dresses and 75 pairs of shoes by 5 years old. Her mother has 35 pageant crowns and is ALWAYS done up with full hair and makeup.
Channeling Downton Abbey, the fine china is dusted off and silver napkin rings hold cloth linen. It looks like D’Andra‘s mom Dee has high standards, and I’m here for it. Jeremy walks in, an ex-military man, a worldly photo journalist with two children from a previous marriage. Their home is quite cultural, with furniture and artifacts from around the globe: including a picture of a man in a half bunny costume, because, why not?
There’s a lot of build up to the entrance of Mrs. Dee Simmons. She created a successful nutrition product line and paid cash for her Rolls Royce after one year. Dee enters and COMMANDS THE ROOM with a full fur vest and professionally done makeup, naturally. So Dallas.
D’Andra has been long awaiting her mother to hand over the family business. Returning to Dallas in 2004 to be handed the reins, she’s still waiting. Dee is headed out of town and has given her adult daughter a credit card, asking her to be responsible with it. She lays down the law, telling D’Andra, “Until you take responsibility of this company, no – I’m not going to walk away!” There seems to be more to the story here…
For what seems like the first time, The Newly Reformed LeeAnne Locken sits down with her Therapist, Elizabeth. She’s working on how she reacts to her anger. Apparently her image in Dallas society took a hit as a result of the show her actions. She denounces the police report involving her ex-boyfriend, admitting that the old LeeAnne would retaliate and verbally destroy someone out to hurt her. Her Therapist, in a very calming voice, suggests coping skills before she jumps to telling people she’s going to kill them. Well yes, that would be the place to start.
Stephanie and Travis seem to be in a better place this season. The whole “Stephanie finds her voice” story arch is over, Thank God. Stephanie puts the blame on Brandi, feeling she was married to her last year. Brandi and Bryan Redmond get in bed for the night and appear closer and stronger as well. Both Bryan and Travis got together earlier that night and the wives’ separation is putting a strain on their 15 years of friendship. Brandi believes that Stephanie was sucked in by the Dallas social scene (and no doubt the attention that came with it last season). She went on to say the final straw was on Father’s Day Weekend when Stephanie sat alone reading magazines and told her husband that he’s hanging out with “his friends.” Rightfully so, this strikes an emotional cord with Brandi.
Later, Kameron and D’Andra meet up for some dog food sampling and testing. These two are natural fits – each more rich and fabulous than the next. D’Andra thinks Kameron may have more time on her hands though. Apparently so, as she’s got this idea to create a pink dog food line.
We’re introduced to Louis Vuitton Westcott, a Yorkshire Terrier with an AMAZING haircut. Louis is so over the top, he rejects all the dog food in the store, resulting in Kameron eating a few samples, for “research.”
In a first for the women, Cary and LeeAnne have a one-on-one chat. Cary carefully lays out to LeeAnne that her comments hurt their family. LeeAnne apologizes and they embrace. Who knew season one could be wrapped up so quickly? Cary is very proud with herself for not going behind LeeAnne’s back about the old police report. Both share concern of Brandi and Stephanie facing one another for the first time in 5 months at Mark’s birthday party. Cary insists the situation is none of LeeAnne’s business, yet she admits to being there for Stephanie and serving as a sounding board. What’s the difference if LeeAnne does the same too? Neither are “staying out of it.”
Mark’s birthday is finally here. In case anyone was wondering, yes, he picked out Cary’s shoes. Kameron enters and appears to begin a serious conversation, only resulting in her future plans for the ladies to all wear pink camo and become detectives. This woman lives on her own pink planet and it’s amazing.
On the way over, Brandi makes it clear she is not ready to talk to her ex-bestie. She warns LeeAnne to be careful with Cary. She got a text explaining that Cary said LeeAnne was up to her old tricks. It took no time at all for LeeAnne to get it out of Brandi that the text came from Stephanie. Not missing a beat, LeeAnne announced she and Stephanie now have a real problem. Don’t cross LeeAnne Locken! Hopefully the one anger management session keeps her head on straight…
Upon entering the party, LeeAnne protects Brandi, telling her where to stand. Stephanie approaches Brandi rubbing her arm, but Brandi remains distant and closed off, looking away. There is a real disconnect here.
Kameron takes a break from daydreaming about dog food to introduce herself to Brandi, bringing Cary and Stephanie with her. Stephanie uses this as her opportunity talk to Brandi. LeeAnne keeps her new friend close and shuts it down immediately, suggesting Stephanie just text Brandi. Brandi exits, and like a body guard, LeeAnne follows her out and coaches her through an emotional breakdown. With some unfinished business left, LeeAnne takes off for Cary, confronting her about the text. Cary denies it and The Reformed One takes her word for it. LeeAnne, you get a gold star for the day.
Next Week: Mrs. Dee Simmons returns to shoot her daughter’s business ideas down. Kameron and Court have a serious discussion about dog food. Cary sees the text Stephanie sent convicting her of speaking badly about LeeAnne. LeeAnne plays mediator in a hot dog costume. Only in Dallas!

In all honesty Peggy Sulahian is no contender for Rookie of the Year in the Real Housewives franchise. None of her jokes land. She has no relationships with anyone on Real Housewives of Orange County and she doesn’t really have a story line so far. Nevertheless, the most redeeming thing Peggy brought to the show was her solid relationship with husband Diko Sulahian.
Sure, their first episode was super obnoxious with the gift giving and then there was that ostentatious Lamborghini party, but they really had some sweet moments when he accompanied her for her breast reconstruction consultation. My point is that even though she really isn’t wowing me at the moment, most of us can agree that her marriage seems pretty solid…. except for the fact that Peggy and Diko might not actually be married.
According to a report from RadarOnline, Peggy and Diko got divorced married on April 29, 1995 and divorced on March 29, 1996 after he filed based on “irreconcilable differences.”
It’s not uncommon for Real Housewives couples to break up and get back together. NeNe Leakes and Gregg Leakes got divorced and remarried in their own spin-off special. So maybe it’s a similar situation for Peggy and Diko? Apparently not since Radar was unable to find any documents that verify that the couple got remarried.
So are they just together and not actually married? Radar reached out to Peggy’s rep for a comment and there was no response. Hopefully this is addressed on Watch What Happens Live and/or the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion episodes. Or perhaps Peggy will speak out in an upcoming blog or on social media to clear up the report.

Controversy? What controversy? While the production of Bachelor in Paradise season four was hit with an early shutdown following an incident involving Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson...
The first, and probably not only, Big Brother 19 double eviction happens on Thursday. Unless a Big Brother miracle happens, Cody Nickson should be the first player out the door. This then leads to someone else going out soon after him. They become the first two members of the Big Brother 19 jury.
Big Brother double evictions are hard to predict. It depends on a lot of variables, such as who wins Head of Household, the veto holder, and who gets into the ear of the right person at the right time. Paul Abrahamian has been putting targets on a lot of different players.
He put one on Matt Clines, Mark Jansen, Elena Davies, and now even Kevin Schlehuber, who for awhile seemed like Paul’s closest ally. These players seem the most in danger going into Thursday’s live double eviction. However, Mark has been on a little bit of a winning streak. He is the only Big Brother 19 player that we know for sure won’t go with Paul’s agenda.
If Mark wins Head of Household, Josh Martinez, Paul, Christmas Abbott, or Alex Ow might be in danger. The most interesting outcome would be if Kevin won Head of Household. He’s likely to target someone for Paul, but might not completely follow Paul’s rules. We can see him going for Matt and Raven Walton, instead of sticking to trying to evict Mark or Elena.
The most predictable outcome would be a Paul win. He would go for Mark and claim the other player was a pawn. However, it would be very bad for Paul’s game to try to win this Head of Household competition. The only time he should try to win it is if he is in the finals with Mark. Everyone else in the house (if Cody leaves) wouldn’t even put Paul on their radar.
So which two players do you think will leave this Big Brother 19 week? Vote and comment below.

Come September 26, This Is Us will make its triumphant return to NBC. We say triumphant because a) it's true no matter what after a first season like that and b) we're just assuming the...Whether you loved her or hated her, Jacqueline Laurita was the main source of drama on Real Housewives of New Jersey last year. Without her antics, there would have been nothing to tweet about and nothing for the ladies to argue about at the reunion. Sure, it was tough to watch most of the time, but she at least gave the fans something to have an opinion about… even if your opinion wasn’t positive.
Nevertheless, even the most die hard fans of the show have to admit that it was in a real rut last season so it will be interesting to see how things play out now that Jacqueline is out of the picture.
The OG cast member opened up about her departure from RHONJ in an interview with Page Six. She confirmed that she wasn’t exactly fired. Instead, they gave her the option to be a part-time cast member with the potential to upgrade if she brought enough drama to the show.
She explained, “They had given me a start date. A couple days later they expressed concern that I wasn’t getting along with a few of the girls and they were like, ‘How’s this going to look authentic if you don’t want to be hanging out with each other?’” But apparently it’s alright when the cast members on RHOC refuse to hang out with Vicki Gunvalson even though they’re all on the same show? Interesting difference there.
Jacqueline continued, “They wanted me to come on and start filming part-time to see how the story line unfolded and then [said they] maybe would make me full-time.” Considering how much controversy Jacqueline caused last year, I don’t understand why they wouldn’t offer a full-time role upfront. Obviously she was not getting along with Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga at all, but even they can (probably) see the value she has as an antagonist on the show… or at least that’s what I assume.
Jacqueline said, “They weren’t guaranteeing full-time, so for me to film all season long under all that stress and drama to not have a guaranteed full-time [spot] was not worth it for me, so I said no.” Fair enough. That’s such a slap in the face to downgrade an original cast member- especially one who is guaranteed to bring drama.
Even though RHONJ is and will always be the Teresa Giudice show, it still would have made sense for Jacqueline to be a part of the cast since she admitted, “I still talk to Siggy [Flicker] and Dolores [Catania] all the time, that friendship will never change.” Nevertheless, she does seem somewhat relieved to “be on the outside” of all the drama… For now. It wouldn’t be at all surprising if Jacqueline was asked back for another season in the future, so I guess we shall see how the next season plays out and what happens after that.

All eyes were on Bachelor in Paradise when the ABC reality series finally premiered after a summer of huge headlines amidst investigations and allegations of sexual misconduct. The show...Tonight’s episode of Teen Mom 2 brings a lot less drama than the last few episodes, but the moms with big decisions looming are starting to run out of time.
Our first case is Briana DeJesus, who is now 24 weeks pregnant and trying to decide if she wants to give her baby up for adoption. Baby Daddy Luis still isn’t on the same page and is firmly against it but Briana pushes forward with meeting an adoption case worker anyway. Briana hopes getting more information to bring back to him will help to slowly change his perspective but it sounds like a lost cause – Luis wants none of it and Briana needs to make a decision soon, one way or another.
When Briana meets with the adoption case worker, she explains all the different types of adoption Briana could decide on and that things would be a lot easier for the process if the father is on board. Briana wonders out loud what would happen if he’s not and the case worker tells her that she would try to counsel him but if all else fails, he would be served a letter and have thirty days to take action and keep his parental rights. She does point out a crucial part of all this – the father would have to be involved for emotional and financial support during this whole process. Briana doesn’t look so sure since Luis talks a big game but can’t even take off work to attend the meeting.
When she meets up with him to tell him what the case worker said, he can’t stop rolling his eyes and looking annoyed in general. He just can’t understand why things can’t work out between them. Yeah, he did a bad thing, he argues, but it wasn’t so bad that Briana has to go taking drastic measures. All of this just makes Briana realize more and more that Luis doesn’t see how she doesn’t want to go down this road again and he’s being selfish with what he wants. No surprise that the guy who couldn’t keep it in his pants for a few short months might be selfish.
Chelsea DeBoer is still dealing with the fall out of ex Adam Lind’s failed drug test and what that means for visitation with Aubree. For now, Aubree is going to go with Adam’s parents for visitation and Chelsea worries about how long Adam’s drug use has been going on and how it has affected Aubree. It makes her sad because the last thing she would want for her child is to have a drug addicted father.
Taylor comes over to talk about what happened and how it all played out. They both are thankful Taylor went to court to get the mandatory drug testing because if not, who knows what would have happened. Despite Adam’s current girlfriend claiming the failed drug test was a fluke, Taylor and Chelsea had a feeling for a long time and their suspicions proved right. Always follow your intuition, Mamas!
Jenelle Evans finally has her house ready and is moving in. She just couldn’t wait one more second to get away from the traffic and the people and have some privacy (with TV cameras still following her everywhere). Fiancé David Eason wanders the house, marveling about how the next ten generations of their family could live in this house. Jenelle just wants to unpack.
It’s fair to say it’s a stressful time having a newborn and moving into a new house and it’s starting to show – Jenelle loses it in the car when Kaiser has a tantrum and keeps calling David to make it better. When David doesn’t stay on the phone, Jenelle resorts to yelling “stop crying” over and over, only causing Kaiser to cry harder.
Apparently, Jenelle is feeling pent up from her lack of gym time. She’s not happy with her body and complains to a producer that Ensley is too young to take to the gym’s daycare. Plus, David wants to go to and I guess they have to go together? On top of that, David is getting overwhelmed with all the clutter so despite Jenelle having no time to herself, she is going to spend the morning trying to clean up so David is less grumpy.
It doesn’t work because later in the car, when Jenelle complains again about lack of gym time, David snaps that she should make a plan and not lay around the house on her phone all day. I guess he’s forgetting she’s also caring for a newborn but never mind that, David can’t finish his sentence and resorts to yelling. Maryssa picks her nails in the back, trying to disappear as the fight escalates and Jenelle and David scream at each other.
Kailyn Lowry seems to be back on track with her baby daddy, Chris. To clarify – her current baby that she is pregnant with in this episode. Kail is all giddy because Chris is not a people person and he actually said hi to her friends in the car when he called. How nice of him. She takes this as a positive sign of him being involved and praises how great it is that he’s not all about the spotlight but still willing to be in her life.
Things with Chris might be on track but between the new pregnancy and divorce drama, Kail has fallen behind in school and is struggling to keep up. She has lots of extra work to turn in and goes to her Academic Advisor for help. The Advisor tells her about all the extra work that needs to be done and praises Kail for being so dedicated to making everything happen. She also reminds her how many people are pulling for her and want to see her do well. It’s a nice pep talk and clearly something Kail needed to hear. She has a big project due and kicks it into high gear, making sure it’s her best work.
When she goes to present it to her teachers, she’s so nervous, she thinks she’s going to throw up, but it goes off without a hitch. The topic was personal branding and she gives a highlight reel of how she has progressed from Teen Mom, complete with a video montage and all. When she’s done, the teachers tell her how well researched and edited it was and she leaves happy, believing she will graduate in two short months.
The outlook on school is decidedly less positive for Leah Messer, who is already having an issue with the almost 3 hour per day commute just to get to classes. She plans on talking to her Advisor and maybe doing some online classes.
Before making any moves though, Leah decides to call Kail and get some advice. Leah already feels like she is neglecting her kids with her workload and Kail reminds her that she has to do things for herself that will better her position in the long run. Kail then suggests she just try online classes before giving up completely and tells her they can both defy the statistics of Teen Moms by completing college. Leah doesn’t seem so sure, even after this pep talk.
When she meets with her Advisor, he tells her it’s no problem to withdraw for the semester and start online next semester. He does want her to know that online classes are no cake walk – they come with their own set of challenges and you have to be very dedicated with your time. The he hits Leah with the reality of her decision to go online: it will take her about six to six and a half years to graduate. Leah’s eyes glaze over, then she quickly dissolves to tears, overwhelmed with the road ahead, but determined to be the first person in her family to go to college and not make excuses for herself. Her Advisor tells her how she is smart enough and determined enough to make it work. Let’s hope Leah believes him.

Hey, remember when Jon Snow touched Daenerys Targaryen's dragon, Drogon, on Game of Thrones? It was a huge moment that might be tied to a bigger reveal about the King in the...This Big Brother 19 day had constant moving parts as Cody Nickson got his foot even closer out the door. The Big Brother Power of Veto was used, and it most likely means the end of his game. The house was quick to switch their mob mentality tactics onto Mark Jansen.
Meanwhile, the Big Brother 19 house was also starting to circle a new target. The road just got a lot bumpier for Kevin Schlehuber.
Apparently, Mark took a few Big Brother 19 houseguests’ pillows. He used them to make his Have-Not bed more comfy. Earlier in the day, Mark chanced it by going for the Have-Not temptation: he won a week free of being a Have-Not. He started to move back into his usual bed, next to Elena Davies, but it was a rough transition.
In the Head of Household room, Paul Abrahamian, Christmas Abbott, Josh Martinez, Alex Ow, and a few others started discussing Mark taking pillows without their permission. They eventually decide to confront him about it. Christmas and Alex start yelling at him about their pillows and him being selfish.
Josh inserts himself and starts claiming he wants Mark’s bed. He already asked Elena for permission to sleep in that room. Josh and Mark go back and forth for awhile. Eventually, Paul and his minions migrate back to the Head of Household room to laugh about getting under Mark’s skin.
Mark calms down with Elena and goes to sleep. Josh continues to complain about the issues. He claims to be afraid to sleep next to Cody, which would be the only available bed.
The Big Brother 19 houseguests continue their plan to make Elena thinks she might leave this week, and get Cody to think that he might stay. Josh told Elena that Cody was making some good points about why she needs to leave. Elena did become a little more paranoid, but the plan hasn’t really taken form too much.
Cody tried to campaign before the Power of Veto ceremony, but got nowhere with Alex and Jason Dent. Later in the evening, he had a friendly conversation with them where he tried to subtly plant some seeds against Elena, Mark, and Matt Clines.
Jason and Alex felt a lot better about him as a person after the conversation, but still didn’t plan to save him.
The houseguests have been talking for days about Kevin’s sketchy behavior. They really question him for having any social interaction with Cody, while the other players (minus Mark, Alex, and Jason) continue to try to shun him. Kevin kept making sure everyone knew he only spoke to Cody a little.
He had no alliance with Cody. The houseguests didn’t believe it. They said that Kevin needed to go before the final six. Paul discussed with Alex taking out Kevin even before Matt. Paul later had a discussion with Kevin where he shared that everyone was growing suspicious of him. He needed to cool it a bit with talking to Cody and others on the house’s list.
Christmas and Paul’s punishment ended. They were detached from each other.
