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...
Consider this our official plea to Freeform: The Bold Type must absolutely be renewed. The series just ended its stellar first season, and while yes, there were some endings, it was a...
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.

With 25 years in the luxury yachting industry under his belt, Captain Lee Rosbach--star of Bravo's Below Deck--has seen a lot. But certain charter guest demands stand out as more outrageous...
Teen Mom 2 is trucking along and it’s a lot of the same old same old. Kailyn Lowry and ex Javi Marroquin were on good terms as of last episode, but we all knew that wouldn’t last long and low and behold, it hasn’t thanks to Javi requesting child support. Briana DeJesus is still feeling stressed and overwhelmed that baby daddy Luis isn’t stepping up to the plate and having an upcoming baby shower doesn’t change that. Leah Messer is seeing Ali’s specialist to get some answers on her recent breathing issues and Chelsea DeBoer is guiding Aubree through her last day of first grade. Finally, we have Jenelle Evans and the never ending drama between her and mother Barb about seeing Jace. It’s not quite as bad as last week’s blow up but clearly, there are plenty of leftover feelings in play.
Starting with Kail and Javi, Kail decides that since they are cool (for now), Javi can come over and spend some time with the boys. How nice of her! She is also relieved he’s coming over because she has a lot to do. While she starts to paint the baby’s room, Javi takes Isaac and Lincoln outside and helps Isaac learn to ride his bike. It’s going great and Javi has to ask Kail to come outside to see. She agrees but tells him to make it quick. Once she sees Isaac riding, she is super excited for him and Javi dutifully runs beside him in the street, making sure he’s safe from falling.
Unfortunately, the day is short lived because Javi just filed for child support, unbeknownst to Kail. He tells his friend that he’s not trying to make Kail go broke, but he wants to make sure Lincoln is taken care of now and in the future.
A few days later, Kail is served the paperwork and she’s upset like Javi knew she would be. She doesn’t understand why he is even asking for financial and medical support when he has free child care with his parents plus health insurance through his job. Javi tries to tell her that he’s doing this as a savings for Lincoln’s future but the only conclusion that Kail can come to is that he’s doing it out of spite.
Briana is planning on having a small baby shower for close family and friends and it’s all dawning on Roxanne that adoption is off the table. Briana explains that she just doesn’t have it in her to go through a whole legal process fighting Luis when he will object to the adoption anyway. Roxanne still isn’t convinced Luis will be stepping up since he still hasn’t contributed financially. As much as she wants to give him credit for showing up to a few doctor’s appointments, that’s really not enough at this stage of the game. Briana agrees that he’s not mentally, financially or physically prepared.
Later, Briana shops for last minute decorations for the party and tells her friend Shirley how none of her family knows about Luis cheating on her and them not being together. She doesn’t want to deal with it at the shower, so she texts Luis, telling him that he needs to keep up the appearance that they are still together. He agrees, but it doesn’t sit well with Briana that she even has to do this to begin with.
At the house the rented for the shower, Briana’s grandmother goes on and on about how nice she thinks Luis is and how well he treated her and Briana in the brief interaction she had with him. Grandma finishes by saying that she thinks it would be a beautiful thing to have both father and mother in the picture for this baby and you can see Briana starting to crack a little with these words. The shower hasn’t even started and she’s already stressed out about Luis coming. She tells Roxanne how annoyed she is and Roxanne gets pissed, saying she should be grateful for everyone coming together to support her at her shower. Briana cries alone in the kitchen, overwhelmed by the whole thing.
Leah is in Columbus with Ali to see her specialist about her breathing issues. As the walk into the hospital from the parking garage, Ali stumbles a few times, but insists she can walk on her own without Leah carrying her. Once inside, Dr. Tsao orders heart and lung tests since Muscular Dystrophy is associated with those issues. Leah sits with Ali during all of her testing, anxiously waiting for answers.
Once everything is completed, Dr. Tsao comes in with good news – no heart or lung issues came up during testing and he believes that Ali’s breathing is likely due to allergies and can be managed with an inhaler and some medication. Leah is relieved and as they leave, she immediately calls Corey Simms to tell him they got cleared.
At Chelsea’s house, Aubree is about to have her last day of first grade and she looks adorable in her camo jacket and hair braided. When Chelsea picks her up at the end of the day, she has a little party kazoo to blow for her in celebration and takes her home to bake a cake for the occasion.
Chelsea’s sister is in town from Florida so she brings the kids to her mom’s house to visit. Out on the back porch, the talk turns to the wedding reception and Chelsea says they will likely find a local place where they can throw up a tent and enjoy. Chelsea’s sister thinks this is an awful idea since it will be October in South Dakota but Chelsea insists they can put up heating lamps. This obviously isn’t the response Chelsea needed to hear, given the reception is only four months away and I don’t blame her for being annoyed at the unsolicited advice.
Jenelle is all about Mother’s Day this year and everyone has to know about it. She wanted to have Jace for the day but given the blow out from last week, Barb isn’t returning her calls or texts about it. Jenelle complains to fiancé David Eason that all of the kids get to be with their moms on Mother’s Day except for Jace and David eggs her on by saying how awful Barb is. David assumes that Barb is doing this to spend as much time as possible with Jace because she knows she will lose custody of him in their upcoming court case.
But Jenelle’s visitation woes aren’t over because later, she finds out that Nathan Griffith’s parents are going to be away for the next two weekends and since Nathan has to have supervised custody with Kaiser, now he won’t see him for three weeks. Jenelle wants to offer a visitation meeting in Wilmington so that doesn’t happen, but David, controlling as ever, snaps at her that she doesn’t need to do Nathan any favors. Jenelle backs down and then they argue over the fact that she has to sit outside watching him put down grass when she wants to be doing something for Mother’s Day, which is tomorrow by the way. David curses at her and she stomps inside. The Producer runs in to check on her and Jenelle decides pouting in bed is more worthwhile than going out and doing something without David.
The next day, they have made up and David has Kaiser help him make a chalk board message for Jenelle, which she loves. Barb finally calls to see if she wants to see Jace today but on one condition: David can’t be there. According to Barb, Jace said he doesn’t want to see them if David is there. Can you blame him after the last incident? Jenelle doesn’t believe it’s Jace saying this but Jace refuses to come to the phone and talk anyway, so Jenelle snaps that Jace better get used to David being around since he’s not going anywhere. Barb hangs up on Jenelle, then calls the Producer, who is unwilling to be the go-between in this battle and hands the phone off to Jenelle. They argue some more, with Barb calling David an a**hole and saying she doesn’t want him to be there either since he’s always filming her, trying to catch her doing something wrong. Coincidentally, David is filming their phone conversation as Jenelle berates Barb by saying she’s the grandmother and she needs to know her place.
I’m not sure what place that is but I think we can all agree it’s not a good one.

The post Teen Mom 2 Season 8 Episode 9 : Unhappy Mother’s Day appeared first on Reality Tea.
After 70 plus days, the Big Brother 19 houseguests were finally rewarded with a party. They got alcohol, food, and some games. It was a much needed departure from the usual intensity of the Big Brother game. Prior to the party, people were plotting as usual on Big Brother 19.
Most of yesterday’s Live Feeds revolved around the aftermath of this week’s Power of Veto ceremony. Kevin Schlehuber quietly sulked, Paul Abrahamian kept plotting, Josh Martinez went back into the dark, and Jason Dent wondered if the plan to evict Kevin was really true.
Once again, the Big Brother 19 houseguests found themselves speculating about Raven Walton’s lies. They once again questioned everything she said and did in the Big Brother house. Yesterday, Paul seemed especially frustrated with Raven.
Meanwhile, Raven took some time out of her day to explain her game and intentions to the camera, aka us. Raven mentioned really needing the money to get a new pacemaker, to live. She also expressed frustration about not being asked by Jason for his vote.
Raven said it was disrespectful that he didn’t even attempt to campaign to her, but this made it easier to vote him out on Thursday. Raven also talked about taking Paul to the final two and her great social game. She took credit for the throwing the Head of Household to Christmas Abbott plan.
Immediately following the Power of Veto ceremony, Josh went to the Head of Household room to speak to Christmas. He said the plan benefits Paul the most, but now he sees how it can benefit Christmas and himself as well.
In Josh’s mind, the Big Brother 19 jury must believe that Christmas and Josh have done nothing in the game. This plan shows the former houseguests a major move from them. By getting the blood on their hands, they can claim evicting Jason as their move, and win some points with the jury.
After going on the block, Kevin expressed a lot of frustration with the way the houseguests have been treating him. Additionally, he just seems to miss his family. He told the camera that he’s glad he gets to leave on Thursday.
Later, Kevin told Jason that if the houseguests vote Jason out over him, he would walk out instead. This saves Jason and lets him be free of the houseguests. We’re not sure if Kevin is telling the truth or putting on a show for Jason. It could go either way, but we’re sure production will stop him before he leaves.
