With each passing day, we get closer and closer to the announcement we're all waiting for: Who will be the next Bachelor? Sure, there are more important issues in the world right...

By now we’ve all seen Below Deck‘s Men Eater commercials starring Kate Chastain enough times to expect a season of some serious resting bitch face! So without further ado here is a brief lifesaving recap of last season’s drama – just because it’s good to be prepared on the high seas! Or maybe it doesn’t matter since this season the crew is almost completely new.
The most saddy-sad news of all is that Ben Robinson is not returning. I. Know. Oh boy do I know. So sad. He and his on-boat/off-boat girlfriend Emily Warburton-Adam are instead launching their own cooking show. Needless to say Emily, who started out so promising, and ended up so Anti-Kate, is not returning either!
In fact the only returning crew members to Captain Lee‘s yacht besides Kate, our intrepid chief stew, is Nico Scholly, now promoted to chief deckhand. Considering their mutual dislike of each other that should be, um, right up Bravo’s alley for drama! Luckily we’ll have Captain Lee to hold down the fort!

Traveling aboard the Valor to St. Martin, this season’s crew will include Matthew Burns as the new chef, stews Brianna Adekeye and Jennifer Howell, and deckhands Chris Brown, Bruno Duarte and Baker Manning.
I’m hoping that this season Kate will be more focused and less, well, bitchy after ending her toxic relationship, but she’ll also have to be up to the task of training a completely “green” crew. Not only are they new to the show, but they’re completely new yachties.
Last season started off rocky and things only continued to get worse. Kate and Ben constantly faced-off over matters of hospitality, and Kelley Johnson was, as always, pursuing an ill-fated on-deck romance. Poor Sierra Storm literally couldn’t get along with anyone – or anything on board – in her perpetual state of confusing about all matters, everywhere. Thankfully Kyle Dixon, the little grifter that could, is also all-aboard a different boat. Or possibly in court.

It should be interesting having Kate and Nico back considering how little they liked and respected each other last season. Kate blamed Nico for Lauren Burchnell‘s dislike of her. She also blamed Ben for Amy disliking her.
On tonight’s premiere the crew is aboard yacht Valor and traveling to St. Martin. Kate and Nico are distracted from their mutual dislike of each other in order to focus on training a completely new crew – most of them on their first ever charter season. Captain Lee is thrilled that he gets to – hopefully – mold these newbies completely in his likeness. Meanwhile Nico reveals that his brother has died in between seasons and he’s having a hard time coping with the loss. Nico also realizes he knows Brianna from his past, which could get complicated!
After last season’s constant whining, bickering, f–king and f–king around, I’m excited about what the new season will bring! (Am I the only one who still misses Rocky’s Mermaid Tail?)

After weeks of tireless voting, Girl on Top 2017 has a winner! And it's definitely not a surprise, because this girl was at the top of every round throughout the competition. Her...Just like the other Real Housewives, Porsha Williams knows how to work social media to her advantage. This time she is teasing a mysterious “big announcement.” She has posted photos with different pictures of Porsha counting down to the big reveal and a video hinting at the new venture.
As of now, whatever her new business is remains unclear, but she has dropped plenty of hints and it appears to be travel-related.
In her initial Instagram post (five days before her big news), Porsha wrote, “TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS! Happy Friday! The countdown has officially started. I have a BIG SURPRISE for all of my followers. Stay posted as I reveal the GREAT news in just 5 days
#TeamPorsha #IssaSurprise #TravelwithP.” The “Travel with P” is definitely the part of that post that sticks out the most there.
Porsha also posted a video on Instagram where she teased, “Hey y’all I have a special announcement to share with you, but I can’t share it with you just yet. Just know me and all of my girls are super excited about it. And yes, fellas I have something for y’all too. ” Very vague up until that point, but she did add, “Here’s a hint though: if you don’t already have your passport, Imma need you to go get that because you’re gonna need to have it for what we’re gonna do. See you soon!”
So what is she selling? A line of Porsha Williams luggage? A Porsha Williams travel app? A Caribbean Cruise with Porsha? I guess we will have to wait until Wednesday September 6 to find out what Porsha has planned for her followers to “travel with P.”

The current Real Housewives of Orange County season feels like several different shows rolled into one. There’s a major divide in the cast with a lot of the women refusing to film with each other and when they do they don’t even acknowledge each other if they’re in the same room. Even so, the ladies from the cast all came together to support the victims of Hurricane Harvey.
Yes, that’s right. All seven women in the cast actually collaborated on a project together. There’s no word on whose idea it was or how it all came to fruition, but Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Kelly Dodd, Meghan Edmonds, Lydia McLaughlin, and Peggy Sulahian all filmed a video asking their fans and followers to donate to the American Red Cross.
All of the women posted the same video with the same captions on their social media accounts. The video starts with Kelly admitting, “Let’s be real we may not always agree on everything.” Meghan chimes in with, “but we can all agree on one thing” and they all had a part encouraging people to visit the link in their Instagram bios and donate to help the people who are suffering after the hurricane.
It’s nice to see that these women put their differences aside and used their platform as Bravolebrities to actually help people who need it.

It’s been two days after the Hollman Halloween Party on The Real Housewives of Dallas and the stage is fully set with old feuds, new feuds and a new house with an old neighboring nemesis. This was another great episode. Let the games begin.
Stephanie Hollman and Travis Hollman are inspecting their new house of horrors. If the pool in the living room wasn’t bad enough that wallpaper would make anyone run. The new homeowners couldn’t be on more opposite sides of the page. Travis wants koi fish, Stephanie fears fish, Steph wants to cover the impractical pool, Travis tells her she’s “really good at mopping”. Ass. He also reminds her that he’s the one making the money in the family…Stephanie needs to remind HIM that he’s on TV and cashing a Bravo check because of HER.
There are a few perks to this new house; it’s near the kid’s schools, good restaurants and The Queen of Dallas Charity World, Heidi Dillon. (Flashback to Heidi ‘innocently’ asking Cary Deuber to demonstrate deep throating a corn dog!) Still not over it, Stephanie feels that Heidi humiliated Cary with the request. The interior designer pops up with a swan float and is all smiles when she learns Travis has zero budget for the redesign.
Brandi Redmond and hubby Bryan Redmond are off at the OBGYN’s office. They both have baby fever and are hoping for a boy. The concern is that Brandi had a full “mommy makeover” that could limit the baby’s growth. Brandi found out she was pregnant and they went for an ultrasound and were unable to find a heartbeat, resulting in the miscarriage she told Stephanie about last week. The two are encouraged to seek fertility potential. And another housewife having a baby story line begins…
Longtime friends, LeeAnne Locken and D’Andra Simmons meet up for lunch. D’Andra isn’t too happy that LeeAnne lied to her saying she was going as an “angel and devil” to the Halloween party – but instead 2 Faced Stephanie. D’Andra is pretty direct, warning LeeAnne about her reputation. We all know a LeeAnne type, someone who can pull a stunt one minute and post an inspirational quote online the next.
LeeAnne maintains that Stephanie is nothing but a social climber by moving into Dallas and that she wants to become BFF’s with Kameron Westcott – taking the elevator to the top. We’re reminded how big the Westcott name is in the Dallas social scene. These are high society folks. In a flashback from the Halloween party, Stephanie awards Kameron the winner of the costume contest, telling her, “You’re everything I wish I was tonight”. Side Note: Kameron’s Pink Princess costume was nice, but odd that she won out of everyone else. Anyways, D’Andra channels her mother instructing LeeAnne to reconcile her behavior with who she wants to be. Say goodbye to “Little LeeAnne”. Having none of this, LeeAnne has on a Cheshire cat smile, telling her friend that she’s still going to be her. She explains she DID however take responsibility at the party by telling Stephanie the truth about her costume inspiration.
The LeeAnne Locken Reputation Redemption Tour continues at The Annual PositiviTea Luncheon starring LeeAnne Locken, Event Chair. We saw this event last year where LeeAnne famously told her story to a group of HIV positive women, fighting the stigma of living with the infection. Charity Queen, Heidi Dillon introduces LeeAnne at the podium. LeeAnne tells a story where a woman messaged her privately saying she wished she had the courage to attend the conference.
Friends D’Andra, Kameron and Brandi came to show their support and congratulate LeeAnne. Heidi makes her way over to the group while Kameron brags about dressing her dog in Cavilli. (Kameron still living in her own world). Brandi couldn’t be any less impressed with the materialistic chatter. The vibe is still off between Kameron and Brandi. It seems that Kameron is looking to start her first fight. She has a lot to say in interviews, but needs to bring it in her scenes with the ex-cheerleader.
Heidi spills the tea that Stephanie and Travis bought the house across the street from her. No one knew this except LeeAnne, who questions Brandi if Stephanie mentioned it. When Brandi says no, LeeAnne makes a little jab, “that’s so weird”. Next, both LeeAnne and Heidi are all too happy to tell the ladies that the house is built into a marsh, it’s a money pit, and built on a sinkhole. In her interview, Brandi isn’t happy that LeeAnne is talking trash about Steph’s home minutes after a motivational speech. Fair. LeeAnne goes on to tell the group that Stephanie wants to be a part of Dallas society badly and that to do so you have to live in the ZIP CODES. In a quick edit, they cut to Kameron saying, “Right”, as if to agree with the shi* talk. Even Brandi, in her interview agrees that Stephanie does want to be a part of Dallas society, resulting in her guard going up. Is it really about Dallas society or about her and Travis’s new found fame?
It’s a new day at Ultimate Living, and D’Andra comes in with a positive attitude, excited to see a new, more modern work space. Mama Dee Simmons rolls her eyes. – Not Interested -. D’Andra points out her mom’s office is straight out of 1996, complete with white shelving, a projection TV, CD’s and a boom box. D’Andra says they need to upgrade and it’s time to bite the bullet, she’s 76 and – WAIT.
Hold up…
Stop the recap.
Dee Simmons is 76 years old?? God, she looks good.
Mama Dee tells her that SHE will tell D’Andra when it’s time to upgrade. Period. D’Andra prepares to go through a list of new business, starting with eye cream packaging. Dee interrupts immediately, disagreeing with the need for a change. Dee is a creature of HABIT people! Well, since that’s not happen, D’Andra moves to the next item on her list – trouble ordering a new computer. Showing 0.00 sympathy, Dee tells her to take charge and that she’s allowing herself to be disrespected. D’Andra makes a good point; her mother signs the checks, not D’Andra so the dynamic is a little different. Maybe if D’Andra spoke with her employees with the same conviction she did with LeeAnne she’d get that new computer.
Across town, Cary and Kameron meet for dinner and bond over wearing all black. Both are giddy watching Kameron cover her Birkin with a little raincoat. (Somewhere Court is rolling his eyes) Kameron opens up about “mom guilt” if she’s at the mall or Cabo too long… while working mom Cary just feels guilty for going to work. Later, Kameron is back on her new recurring topic, Brandi. She complains of making an effort with the redhead but that she isn’t opening up – slamming Brandi for having “no social grace”. (Does that mean her charity world is over??) Kameron simply writes her off for being insecure and living on the outskirts of Dallas. Again, zip codes people…
Speaking of Brandi, she and Stephanie go on a “first date”. They chat about Steph’s new money pit house that Brandi wasn’t aware of. Steph claps back, “well that’s what happens when you don’t talk to someone for four months”. Brandi explains LeeAnne’s take on Steph wanting to move to Dallas to become a socialite. Steph clarifies it’s for the kid’s school and Travis’s ego. Brandi feels caught in the middle once again. We’re reminded that Brandi is an impressionist (little mimicker) and already has a pretty good Kameron down. We’re sure Kameron wouldn’t approve and Brandi would lose MORE social grace points.
A new day begins, and D’Andra gets a pep talk from her husband before going in front of The Big Boss again. She’s ready to have “the talk” about her future. She admits to feeling scared by her mother. Who can blame her? D’Andra just about sits down in front of her mother and is put on the spot immediately. “I love your dress”, said Dee. “Is it new? What a dumb question. Everything’s new”. Ouch. Dee goes onto say that she can tell D’Andra has a lot on her “little mind”. Double ouch. Maintaining her composure, D’Andra explains her irritation with her mother vetoing business decisions, asking what it would take for her to trust her. Dee explains she needs to believe in her heart that she can manage money. When D’Andra asks for her mother’s trust the mogul starts to crack. Dee sheds a tear or two and explains how she was not college educated and still managed to build two multi million dollar companies. She fears D’Andra may lose the company and wants to protect her daughter. D’Andra isn’t buying the tears. In her interview she says she’s a grown woman and it ticks her off. Once again, no decisions are made.
Brandi visits Stephanie’s new house (which looks like it has the heaviest front door). Stephanie says that hearing the girls gossiped about her house put her in a bad place. She’s glad to have Brandi back in her life, joking that she snatched her back from LeeAnne. Brandi reveals that she has a house rule; LeeAnne isn’t allowed inside her home because of her unpredictable potty mouth – look who’s talking. Didn’t ya’ll spend 12 episodes talking about poop last season? The ladies prank call the LeeAnne Supporter across the street: Heidi Dillon, who just hangs up on them.
It’s Zuri’s birthday party, featuring ponies, lemurs and housewives dragging in their kids. Zuri asked her grandmother if they could buy a pony and apparently, it was the funniest thing Cary has ever heard. Kameron, Brandi and Stephanie all come to celebrate. Stephanie thanks Cary for being the only one who denied the two faced comments at the Halloween party. Kameron asks why Brandi is so close with LeeAnne now. Stephanie says it’s up to Brandi and tells the ladies about the house rule. Cary questions if LeeAnne is hard up for friends? Shade.
Brandi proudly presents gifts to Cary and Stephanie, apologizing to Kameron standing nearby. The (two) ladies unwrap Jack Daniels Tennessee Fire Whisky. She then invites them to Tennessee where she’ll visit her grandfather. No, LeeAnne is not invited. Kameron is on the outside looking in on this exchange of hugging and jumping up and down. She breaks in to tell Brandi not to worry that she gave her friends gifts in front of her. She recommends not exchanging gifts and exclusive invitations in front of others and says the word “awkward” about four times. She gets an A in passive aggressive behavior.
Kameron is officially under Brandi’s skin on this point, prompting her to recommend a lesson in etiquette in her interview. Back at the party, Brandi jokes that she only did it to be a “mean girl” and laughs it off. Kameron takes it 100% literally and asks if they want to talk about it. Pump your breaks girl! – This situation went from awkward to a mess real fast. – Kameron won’t let it go, throwing her hands up in the air saying, “I don’t know, I mean I don’t know”. Stephanie walks Brandi out and they share a good laugh. Kameron continues the etiquette lesson with Court (and Cary in the middle once again agreeing with every word) that it was rude and inappropriate. ”. Kameron isn’t going to let this one go for a LONG time.
NEXT:
Are the ladies taking sides already? It looks like Steph, Cary and Brandi are bonding in Memphis, while LeeAnne, D’Andra and Kameron bond over dinner, all talking about their favorite topic: each other.

Last year one of Scheana Marie’s neighbors complained about her and sued her because there was supposedly marijuana smoke and a lot of noise coming from her apartment. She also supposedly left food outside for a cat which attracted ants.
The neighbor decided to sue Scheana and the building management for a rent discount and damages. Now it seems like the door has closed on this situation. No word on whether this will make it as a part of a Vanderpump Rules story line, but the fans will see whenever the season returns.
Scheana tweeted a screen shot from a Perez Hilton post with a headline that read “Vanderpump Rules Star Scheana Shay Is Getting Sued For Smoking Too Much Weed.” Along with the screen shot Scheana wrote, “Remember when Stoner Scheana was getting sued? Lol. Thanks to @GIRARDBENGALI that lawsuit went bye bye…. ” with a “hand” emoji at the end slapping away the lawsuit.
There’s no word on whether the case was dismissed by the court or if the neighbor decided not to go through with it, but apparently the whole mess is behind Scheana.

Another day, another story about who will be the next Bachelor. As Bachelor in Paradise comes to a dramatic end, fans are still asking one question: Will Daniel Maguire and Lacey Mark get...Even though Below Deck is approaching its fifth season, it feels like a different show every season because the cast is constantly changing. Captain Lee Rosbach has been around since the very beginning, but the only returning cast members from last year are Kate Chastain and Nico Scholly.
Not only are the remaining six cast members new to the show, but apparently a lot of them are new to the yachting industry, which is bound to make for some interesting television and (unfortunately) some frustrating times for Captain Lee.
Captain Lee discussed the upcoming season in an interview with Sun Sentinel. It’s very clear that the Captain has not let the reality TV success and notoriety get to his head. He explained, “I run my boat in the private sector the same way I run the boat for TV.” He added, “The same things that piss me off on TV are the same things that get under my skin when I am working for a private owner.”
Even though the Captain doesn’t let the Below Deck success go to his head, he does enjoy it since he admitted, “I am really excited to have been on that long. I just love it. I am just having a ball with this thing.” Me too, Captain.
Of course there’s some issues helping the new crew members acclimate to the yacht life. The captain revealed, “Trying to keep the charter guests happy and the crew motivated and teach them all on the fly presented a totally unique set of problems that we had to deal with. And some of it was really funny and really hilarious, and some [of it] not so much.” Poor Captain.
He didn’t share many specific details, but he did tease, “It’s going to be a roller coaster ride this year. Not that it hasn’t been in years past.”

Are you afraid of bees? Clowns straight out of Hot Topic? White people in sombreros? Wasted bottles of rose? Beautiful but creepy middle upper class homes? Reliving the night of the 2016...When Porsha Williams first joined Real Housewives of Atlanta she was all about being the perfect wife. After that divorce, she has really been hustling hard with her Dish Nation gig, her hair line, and her other business ventures- with varying success.
Now Porsha is set to be a theater actress in a production that might be coming to a city near you.
Porsha shared the big news on her Instagram account, writing, “I am extremely excited to announce I’ll be performing nationwide in the theater remake of Two Can Play That Game!”
She also revealed, “My character will be “Conny” previously portrayed by @gabunion ! I’ll be joining the beautiful and talented @msvfox , who I am beyond honored to work with along with Columbus Short and an amazing cast.”
In another post with a graphic about the show dates and locations, Porsha wrote, “Come see ya girl in the HIT STAGE PLAY ‘Two can play that game’ as ‘Conny’ !” She also pointed out a charitable aspect: “Alongside @msvfox , @officialshort and an amazing cast! 50% of proceeds from ticket sales sold between now and September 15th will go to hurricane Harvey victims. Get tickets at Jecaryous.com!”
Hopefully some clips from the play make their way onto social media- or better yet on an episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta. It will be interesting to see Porsha “acting,” that’s for sure.

We have our second Big Brother 19 double eviction. This live eviction turns the final seven houseguests into the final five. Before the hour ends, dreams will be shattered, friendships questioned, and jury votes gone. It should be an exciting Big Brother 19 night.
Unless Kevin Schlehuber succeeds in his plan to walk out of the Big Brother 19 house, the first person to leave the Big Brother 19 house seems fairly obvious. However, who follows him out those Big Brother doors could be anyone. So let us rank the person most likely to the person least likely to leave in this week’s Big Brother 19 double eviction.
Jason Dent is almost certainly leaving the house. The only way he stays is if Josh Martinez‘s guilt overpowers his desire to win the game. Josh would also need to keep his change of heart to himself. We just don’t quite see Josh changing his mind, and doing it without telling his closest allies, Christmas Abbott and Paul Abrahamian. Once they know about his plan to flip his vote, they’ll flip it right back. Therefore Jason ranks as the number one person likely to leave in the double eviction. Here is where the rest of the players fall:
Alex Ow- Unless Alex wins Head of Household or Power of Veto, she is 100 percent leaving the house this week. Everyone left, after Jason leaves, wants Alex out of the house. She will hit the block if any of the remaining players but her have their way. She also created too many enemies to have enough votes to stay.
Kevin Schlehuber- The only one who would really take out Kevin is Alex. Considering Alex’s competition wins, this really increases Kevin’s chances of leaving this week. Most likely Alex would put up Kevin and Josh or Christmas. If she names Josh and then Christmas wins veto, Ravn Walton goes up and out, but we have doubts about many scenarios where Christmas or Josh win a veto. The nominations will most likely stay the same and the rest of the house votes out Kevin.
Raven Walton- Raven’s target lessens by the day. However, people still find her very annoying. That’s a deadly factor in an emotion driven game like Big Brother, especially this season. If Alex and Kevin are both safe, Raven would most likely go. In most scenarios Raven goes before Kevin, but we only really see Raven hitting the block if Alex or one of the Josh/Christmas combo wins the Power of Veto.
Josh Martinez- Alex will want Josh’s blood for voting out her ride or die. If Alex wins HOH, he’s going on the block. Luckily for Josh, Paul is really part of his team. Therefore, he should have Paul and Christmas’ votes locked in to save him almost against anyone.
Christmas Abbott-Christmas’s foot makes her highly unlikely to leave. Alex will want her blood as well, but Christmas may be able to talk her way out of hitting the block. Additionally, anyone sitting next to her looks like a bigger competition threat, and would then likely go home before her.
Paul Abrahamian- It is nice to have dreams, but let’s be realistic: no one is going to try to take Paul out of the Big Brother 19 house until final 3. By then, it will probably be too late.
Let us know who you think will leave in this week’s Big Brother 19 Double Eviction by voting in our poll below.
