Another solid episode of Survivor this week leaves us with just five players left in the game heading into next week’s Finale. Yes, we have almost arrived at the end of Season 35, and things have finally ramped up on our way towards the finish line. But before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s digest what went down this week and get set for next week’s (hopefully) fantastic finish.
Please remember that this recap assumes that you have already seen this week’s Episode 13 of Survivor: HHH, so if you have not and don’t want to be spoiled, please come back later! It’s important to add too that while we WILL hit on all of the important developments of the episode, this is not a linear “blow-by-blow” recap, and is more of a discussion and reaction of what we just witnessed together.

So how about Ben, huh? We’ve loved him, we’ve hated him, but now in any scenario he has reached the Final Five and the Finale Episode. He hasn’t so much burned bridges, it’s been more a case of other players realizing that the longer Ben makes it in the game, the less chance everyone but Ben has of winning. Ben had all six votes cast against him last week but was able to save himself by using his hidden Idol, and his lone vote sent Lauren to jury. He never told anybody that he had it. That all pretty much defines the textbook definition of how to use an Idol in the game. Ben even mentioned that he purposely tried to make himself a bigger target to ensure votes would be cast his way, and it worked out like a charm. The fallout though was that this move just made Ben seem even more dangerous then before, which is why everyone else left in the game was gunning for him again this week.
But lo and behold, Ben has a few more tricks up his sleeve, and is not going to go quietly. Usually when we get a segment where we see a player searching for an Idol, it’s because they end up finding it. Tonight, they showed Ben searching for an Idol out of desperation, knowing that he was a dead man walking without one, and we got like three Idol search sequences from Ben. Survivor did something I don’t believe they’ve ever done before too: To crank up the drama, they didn’t show if Ben did or didn’t find the Idol…they instead saved that to make it a bigger moment when he finally did reveal it at Tribal Council. It seems against all odds that Ben would play an Idol to save himself from a unanimous vote-out, only to then find a clue and another Idol just moments before going to another Tribal Council where he was most definitely going to get voted out. The dude has nine lives apparently, and for every minute he spends in the game, he solidifies the idea that he is the game’s biggest threat.
While Ben may be the biggest threat, as Ryan mentioned at Tribal, that doesn’t mean he’s the only threat left in the game. Chrissy seemed ready to keep Ben this week and wanted to get Ashley out, and the end result at Tribal was that everybody (except Ashley) ended up voting for Ashley. Was this Chrissy’s plan all along for this Tribal? Were they really going to vote out Ben, or try to split votes to flush his Idol prior to knowing he had one? Even Ben ended up voting for Ashley, which tells me that it must have been pretty obvious that Ashley was going home once Ben played the Idol.
Getting rid of Ashley, of course, is the right move and a great move from Chrissy‘s perspective. The other big development this week was the Final Three alliance formed between Ryan, Chrissy and Devon. We know Ryan and Chrissy are super-tight, after Ryan chose Chrissy as the recipient of his Super Idol advantage back on Day Three. Ryan and Devon had been incredibly close as well, until Devon caught Ryan playing too many sides. But if Chrissy and Ryan are to go to the Final Three together, they will need to pull in one more, and this episode laid out all of the arguments as to who they should pick: Everyone fears that Ben is a shoe-in to win the game should he get to Final Three. Dr. Mike too would be tough to sit against, as he has not made any enemies. And Chrissy never did trust Ashley. That left only Devon, and if Chrissy could get Ashley out of the game – who was Devon’s only other true ally – Devon would really need to rely on Chrissy and Ryan here on out. In fact, I think it’s safe to say that Devon has now put all of his chips in with Chrissy and Ryan, and now that we’re down to five, this threesome alliance looks to be all but golden.
Like Lauren before her, Ashley was on the receiving end of some bad luck, if you consider Ben finding Idols to be luck. She was clearly swindled by Devon, who ended up not having her back. Devon made the bold move to even try to give Ashley a good-bye hug on the way out, but Ashley gave him the cold shoulder. Of course she did, you doofus! You just voted her out of the game and cost her a chance at a million bucks! Get out of here with that good sportsmanship hug! I’m not sure Ashley could have won the game anyways…with all of the talk of needing a strong “Survivor resume,” Ashley just never seemed to be the one pulling any strings, and didn’t have a lot that she could have taken credit for. It’ll be interesting to see just how bitter she really was, and if this move ended up costing Devon a jury vote should he be sitting in at Final Three.
Episode Take-Away: It was another strong episode, and it left me with a sense that the Finale is going to be a good one. Everyone left in the game at this point have been strong…I don’t think there is anybody remaining who the fan base might deem “unworthy” of winning Survivor. Ben definitely proved a lot tonight…even after pulling out all the stops last week, he managed to continue fighting and clawing his way to one more day in the game, which often times makes all the difference. His story is also proving that there are just way too many Idols and advantages this season. I thought for sure that they wouldn’t introduce an Idol back in the game at just six players, but I was proven wrong. I’d like to say I’m confident that there won’t be any more secret advantages, but as we saw in the Finale preview, there is indeed one more advantage left this season.
As I look over the remaining five players, I think that Ryan and Chrissy are all but guaranteed to make it to Final Three. With Devon, they now control the majority and I don’t think Devon will look to split them up by teaming up with Mike and Ben (although that scenario would be very cool). That means that Ben is a goner if he doesn’t win Immunity and if he does, Mike will hit the road. At four is where it gets interesting, because Ben must win Immunity again in order for Ryan, Chrissy and Devon to not reach the end together. If he does win, look for Ryan and Chrissy to stick together to finally flip on Devon. Ben would have no real reason not to vote out Devon too, but he could force a tie just to shake things up…and it’s in this, the unlikeliest of scenarios, where Ryan and/or Chrissy would fall short of Final Three. In other words, Ben is a long-shot, but Dr. Mike is even more of a long-shot…but if either of them make it somehow, someway, they win the game (I don’t see any sort of scenario where BOTH Mike and Ben make finals). A Ryan, Chrissy, Devon Final Three is interesting because each would have pros and cons as to why they deserve the million, which could lead to a very spirited jury and Final Tribal.
Voted out this week: Ashley
Won Immunity: Chrissy
Vote: Ben plays Idol on himself. 5 – Ashley (Ryan, Chrissy, Devon, Ben, Mike), 1 – Mike (Ashley)
Next Week’s Episode: Mark it down people! Next week is the Survivor: HHH two-hour Season Finale Episode, followed by the one-hour Live Reunion Show. We enter the Finale with five remaining contestants, and as shown in the preview, there will still be one more game advantage that will be revealed. You aren’t going to want to miss any of it!

It’s Wednesday and that means an all new episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. As the dust settles from last week’s drama at Kim D.’s fashion show, the ladies head off to Milan together. Because what better way to work out your differences than embarrassing yourselves in a foreign country?
Melissa Gorga and Margaret Josephs have some fun shopping and the ladies take in the sights (and hot men) of Italy. But things don’t go so well when they attempt to hash out their issues at dinner. When does a group dinner ever go smoothly with this cast?
Melissa and Teresa air their grievances about Siggy and Dolores‘ loyalty to Kim D. And, from the preview clip, Dolores does give Melissa a half-apology for getting in her face at the event.
Back in Jersey, Joe Gorga enjoys being on his own and puts together a little “guys night” fun!
Tune in tonight and see if they patch things up or make things worse! Join us in the comments as we live snark our way through Milan with the RHONJ cast.

Another day, another Teen Mom 2 saga. This time, it’s exes Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin bashing each other in the press and on social media.
Javi recently learned that he’s being deployed by the Air Force again. While the news came as a complete shock to him, he credits girlfriend and Teen Mom 2 co-star Briana DeJesus (and throws some shade at Kail) for keeping him calm.
Javi admitted to Us Weekly that he was not expecting to be deployed right now.
About Briana, he added, “She’s what’s keeping me together right now.”
The Teen Mom 2 dad tweeted, “Feels like I just came back, but I know this time will be different,” to which Briana responded, “Sure will.” Optimistic thinking? There’s no doubt in my mind that Kail will turn Javi’s second deployment into yet another episode of Woe Is Kail.
Kail is already dishing out spoilers in the press. “Javi and I got to a really good place by early Fall and it’s unfortunate that things have changed so much to the degree that it’s affecting our ability to co-parent,” she recently told Us Weekly.

“However, I’m not going to let this stop me. I will continue to be respectful to the father of my child and keep working at my career, and that includes my writing,” she deluded continued. “Writing has been keeping me busy and focused and I’m anxious to get these upcoming books out.”
I must have missed the episode where Kail was respectful. To anyone. But, in Kail’s defense, this statement came just days after Javi bashed her on Twitter.
“Someone’s bitter and can’t move on from sh-t that happened almost two years ago. #yesterdayspaper #MarriageBootCamp #moveon,” he tweeted. “Have more important things to worry about right now than a past relationship that’s dead to me. Lincoln is the only thing keeping it alive. Which I’m blessed for don’t get me wrong. But him, that’s it.”
Kail responded, “Wow, disappointed in yourself that you let OTHERS influence how you treat the mother of your child, yet here we are again.”
Stay tuned for the next episode of Woe Is Kail, where Kail lacks empathy, takes responsibility for nothing, and blames everyone else for anything and everything that is wrong in her life. Isn’t that a repeat episode, you say?! Nope. Just… Here. We. Are. Again. <sigh> Truer words were never Tweeted.

She may be trying to leave her tarnished reputation behind on The Real Housewives Of New Jersey, but Danielle Staub still has plenty of baggage from the old days weighing her down. Danielle recently described this tough period in her life on Amy Phillips’ SiriusXM show, claiming that Caroline Manzo and her family systematically harassed her so relentlessly after the infamous Teresa Giudice table flip, she had to move out of town.
“There was everything from bullying my children behind the scenes – remember, there were eleven of the Lauritas and all of them had children as well,” says Danielle, whose girls were “terrified” of the backlash they received at school. Caroline, who was originally a Laurita (along with sister Dina Manzo and brother Chris Laurita), was likely the ringleader of the harassment, according to Danielle.
Danielle goes to to describe the bus tours that would take RHONJ fans around town to all of the places the cast shot scenes at, but the bus only stopped at Danielle’s house as part of their tour. “I didn’t know who was running the tours, but I found out later that the Manzos were involved with that,” says Danielle, who told Amy that entire tour groups would unload into her lawn and jeer at her family.
After a group of thirty people visited her property one day, Danielle’s house was vandalized. “That night, my house got busted into,” she explains, “Massive front doors ruined – plowed through! $140,000 worth of security cameras ripped off the walls, ‘Prostitution Wh*re’ written all over the walls. My kids were terrified.” HOLY SMOKES!
Danielle says nothing was stolen from her home that night, which leads her to believe is was simply an act of hate – and a threat to leave. “So we did [leave],” admits Danielle, “My daughters and I left and never looked back at the house, the house that they grew up in and the only home they ever knew.”
Despite basically being bullied right out of town, Danielle says she and her family are feeling secure and happy these days. “You know what, don’t be sad. Because I started over and I pulled myself up,” Danielle told Amy. She went on to say that her daughters are doing just fine now, as is she.
Whether the Manzos or Lauritas or just a pack of totally unhinged fans were behind this mess is still a question mark, but damn! It’s just reality television, people. Drastic backlash like this against any Bravolebrity is ridiculous and uncalled for, no matter how you slice it. Yuck.

Cynthia Bailey’s relevance on The Real Housewives Of Atlanta has always been somewhat questionable, but this season it appears that she’s taking on the role of Kenya Moore’s #1 defender. She explains in her blog why she thinks her cast mates are being unfair to Kenya about her “secret” marriage to Marc Daly, and why she also empathizes with Porsha Williams.
Cynthia reflects on why she felt compelled to comfort Porsha on the trolley in San Fran, even if she didn’t quite understand what her tears were all about. She explains, “It was on my heart to have a one on one with Porsha on the trolley in San Francisco because I felt compelled to try to help her get to a place of being open to listening and receiving some of the issues that some of the ladies were having with her, and not be defensive or feel attacked.”
Since she has her own history of sparring with NeNe Leakes (um, who doesn’t?!), Cynthia feels like she can act as peacemaker between NeNe and Porsha. She offers, “I also had a similar conversation with NeNe. After the confrontation between her and NeNe, I attempted to get both of the ladies in an open minded and peaceful frame of mind to talk, be cordial, and move on. My goal was to assist in resolving the situation without getting too involved or over stepping, because only NeNe and Porsha truly know what broke down their friendship and how deep the wounds are.”
Well, maybe only NeNe and Porsha know what their real issues are – but Marlo Hampton is the one who knows when to grab a runaway bun! She also knows how to stir the pot when it comes to the strange secrecy surrounding Kenya’s marriage.
Cynthia was glad that Kenya had enough of a sense of humor to go along with the fake wedding the ladies threw for her in the hotel, but admits, “I would have not wanted to be involved and would have definitely told Kenya, because I wouldn’t want her to be blindsided. So yes, the ladies were 100 percent right to leave me out of it. Thank goodness Kenya has a great sense of humor and just laughed and went with it. I was excited to finally be her bridesmaid! The wedding was hilarious and everyone had a great time.”
But when Marlo asked the group whether they thought Kenya’s marriage to the actual 3-dimensional Marc was indeed legit, Cynthia became immediately uncomfortable. She describes her feelings in her blog: “I decided to walk out of the dinner when the ladies were talking about Kenya’s wedding, because I felt like it was going in a negative direction and being made a mockery of – all behind her back. Even after Kenya was a good sport about the fake wedding they threw her!”
“I was being asked a lot questions about Kenya’s wedding and new husband that I didn’t have answers to,” continues Cynthia, “Questions that only Kenya could answer. I got upset and emotional. Not to mention that Kenya had just literally left us to go bury her grandmother, the only mother that she has ever known. I felt like it was just too much, and in poor taste.”
Whether in poor taste or not, the RHOA ladies are nowhere near done with this Kenya storyline. Let’s not forget Kim Zolciak, who wasn’t even on the trip, is likely already planning her next attack!

Last night was the rather lackluster Below Deck reunion. It turns out, that despite the ENTIRE SEASON FOCUSING ON THIS, nobody really hates Jen Howell (except Kyle Dixon, but that just seemed silly). At least we got the satisfaction of Captain Lee Rosbach telling Nico Scholly how much he sucks. Cause he did (and does).
Nico brought the full package of his douche-holery to the WWHL reunion stage, where he feathered his bangs like a late 90’s Tom Cruise, and acted just as smarmy. Nico regrets that he was caught acting like a self-absorbed, immature, jerk on camera, which he claims was a reaction to his grief. Perhaps, but Lee isn’t buying it. He straight up calls Nico “childish” and tells him he never would have promoted him had he known what was going on behind the scenes. But then later Lee says he’d include Nico in his Fantasy Below Deck All Star A$$holes Draft picks. So which is it – do you Nico, or do you not Nico, Lee?
Lee is most furious by Nico’s behavior towards of EJ Jansen and his inability to take responsibility, but the rest of us are riled up over Nico’s treatment of the poor unsuspecting landlocked Melissa. I feel less bad for Brianna Adekeye, who knew Nico had a dockside lady, even if she claimed to have no idea how serious it was when she started playing her ukulele in Nico’s erogenous zones.
Karma though, because Nico basically admitted that he used Bri for “support” during his difficult time. She was his lifeboat and lifesaver, and then when he caught his breath, he swam back home to Melissa.
The funniest thing was watching Nico try to squirm out of admitting that Melissa dumped him once the season started airing and she witnessed all his lying and sneaking around with Bri.
Bri is so strange. I don’t buy her ‘free spirit act,’ because no self-respecting free spirit rocks that much contour on a WWHL stool like a wannabe Kardashian. Bri was also strangely pissy to nearly everyone last night. She is still not over Jen’s Yachterella tantrums, she was miffed that Kate Chastain ‘promoted’ her to second stew, because Bri believed she was always second stew, and, although she claims to be unbothered by Nico openly admitting to using her, she kept checking and balancing everything with qualifiers. We all heard her say that Nico’s relationship was not her problem, so why is she now backtracking by insinuating he led her on? Girl you played the hoochie on TV, now own it! Whatever – at least her dress was pretty. And no matter now because she’s in love with someone she’s not dating who is an Irish musician.
Also in love was EJ. His biggest regret of the seasons is not kissing Baker Manning. Baker, as it turns out, is the step-niece of Thomas Ravenel, which is the perfect amount of familial connection one wants to have with Thomas. (Basically none). EJ explains that he did push-ups next to Baker, instead of on top of her, because A) he was her boss; and B) he was scared she might eat him alive and he is but a poor, timid, sweet Ned Flanders adrift in the ocean of his own awkwardness. Now though – now that she is sitting next to him, looking so hot and feline, yet still charming, he pines for a second chance. Well, take it, dude! Everyone is basically forcing them off the stage and out into a NYC date night.
After all the drama with Nico was ironed out (so unsatisfactory you’d think Jen did the ironing), Andy focuses on what a horrible, no good, very bad season it was for Kate. Poor Kate: so sad; so bad! Kate, although she doesn’t think she’ll ever work with Jen in yachting again, reveals that they’re actually “good friends” in real life! HUH? This makes no sense to an extremely invested Kyle, who is sort of scarily enraged by everything Jen does! He is Kate’s ardent defender whether she wants him or not. He needs to go back to the Arctic fishing boat with his man tribe. Cause dude, really, no one cares what you think. Least of all Kate!
Did anyone else think Kate’s dress looked like a low-budget Little Mermaid costume?
Jen actually did a 180 from Jen of the high seas, when she did this thing called accountablity. I’d like to know who’s accountable for the metallic skunk stripes she had drawn around her inner-eyes, cause that was Bratz Doll territory. Should I assume her daughter did her makeup?
Jen admits that her banter with Kate walked – and often crossed – a very thin line of unprofessionalism, and she apologizes for that whole whore comment. Kate, likewise, apologizes for making jokes at Jen’s expense in front of guests. No surprise Lee backs Kate all the way to end of the earth. Whatever Kate does is golden. Kate is the wind in the sails of all motor yachts (Yes, I know yachts don’t have sails, but go with me here). Blah, blah, blah.
What is Kyle’s deal, though? Like, all his yelling and griping about how Jen isn’t a real friend to Kate, his fake outrage over her behavior for charter season, and all his fury over her using the word “bitch.” Dude – SHUT UP. Like Kate said, you were there for all of 16 seconds and for 15.5 of those seconds, you were pointless. Kyle seems to blame Jen for his being trapped in the arctic. Then he complains that she plays victim, except who’s playing victim now with their whining that no one believes him that Jen is a liar.
Well, Bri believes him, but her credibility got shot by fraternizing with Nico! Bri describes working with Jen as challenging and she’s still irritated. Strangely, Captain Lee said he’d consider working with Jen again, and Kate actually praises Jen for keeping the humor alive while they were trapped in close quarters. Oh, is that what you call her inability to work a washing machine? Kate denies that Jen was her worst stew because that honor is bestowed upon Rocky Dakota. And that unsurprisingly was also Kate’s worst season of Below Deck. Am I the only one who kinda loved Rocky?! (Hides head in shame).
Bruno Duarte couldn’t be there in person because of “Visa issues” – whatever that means – but he joins from Skype where he now looks as buff as an MMA Fighter and is engaged to a man. He’s still not confirmed gay though because labels are so last year.
Interestingly, EJ admits that he would’ve fired Bruno over Chris Brown, because Bruno was so entitled but Chris had potential. Lee does not agree with this assessment, but Kate does. She did not want Bruno’s input on how she does anything. Kate doesn’t want anyone’s input on anything period. Which is probably why she never told Captain Lee about how unprofessional Jen was. If Lee had known there would’ve been disciplinary action for Jen. With a witness! Like what? Boat marshaled and forced to do jail time in the life jacket locker? Yacht politics are so strange!
Back to Bruno, Kate thinks he’d be a better stew than a deckhand, although she would never work with his disrespectful trifling, yet artfully sculpted and toned, ass. Yes, people, Kate would rather work with Jen again than Bruno. Kate and Jen have a bond, and they were so much fun together and laughing so hard, and Bri felt so left-out of their intimate connection that she had to console herself with Nico. OK, seriously, what show was this bonding and hilarious Jen/Kate banter happening on, cause I must’ve missed it? I only saw unprofessional messiness, whining, and Kate being her usual bitchy self.
Kyle wasn’t on that show either, and the dude is still pissy that he’s left out. He’s also still enraged that Jen used a clean fork to taste his gravy. He should be lucky anyone wants to get near his gravy bits! Kyle (Kyle!) even has the audacity to lecture Jen on manners, before interrupting her constantly and being completely snarky. (Although, yes, Jen, you do need some manners, madame!)
The final few minutes were devoted to Matt Burns and his trouble with cooking. Oh, Matt – so sweet, so tender, so unable to keep it spicy enough! Matt admits to letting personal problems get in the way of doing his job. Which let’s be honest was like the theme of this season. Matt also credits Kate’s mentoring for getting him out of his funk for the last charter. And although Kate missed her banter with Ben, it was nice to be away from his food that didn’t come from the Applebees menu intensity. Kate and this banter she’s suddenly developed with everyone! That’s her word of the night. Is that how she defines verbal annihilation?
Lee rationalizes that he was hard on Matt because he knew all that culinary genius was in there, locked away and trapped, like Matt has Foodie Autism, but Bruno was smothering it. Gosh – all these people believing in Matt, and he still couldn’t get his vanilla ice cream together.
The reunion concluded with an undramatic note. Nico is still immature. EJ still wants to kiss Baker. Bruno is still unsure of his own identity, but that’s Ok – labels are restrictive! Jen is still doing ridiculous things with her hair (but the ridiculous has spread to include her makeup now). Kyle is still a self-righteous, indignant jerk. Kate is well, Kate, Bitch Queen of the High Seas (we love it – never change). Captain Lee is permanently unimpressed (as he should be – especially with Nico). Baker is still chill, and Bri still thinks she is. Nico is now a plumber. Matt is searing up some self-recriminations but hopefully making it right?
Who’d I miss? Oh yeah, Chris Brown! He declined Andy’s invitation to attend the reunion. It probably seemed like too much work for him. So, does that mean Chris and Jen will be back next season?!
TELL US – FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE SEASON? DID NICO DESERVE TO BE PUT THROUGH THE WRINGER? DO YOU BELIEVE KATE & JEN ARE “GOOD FRIENDS”?
