The Real Housewives taglines are a huge deal. Anything short of iconic just isn’t good enough. With so many cities, Housewives, and seasons, it is tough to be original these days. Even so, the pressure increases each season.
Season 8 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premieres tonight, but the taglines have already been released. Some of the ladies really hit the mark and others not so much…
People shared the RHOBH Season 8 taglines. Kyle Richards has been a part of this show since Season 1 and this point we already know what to expect from her: something about real Kyle is even though she’s super rich with a mention of friends and family thrown in. This year her tagline is “In this town, fame and money come and go, but friends should not.”
That sounds an awful lot like some of her previous taglines : “In a town full of phonies, I’m not afraid to be me” “I’m from this town. I know what’s real and I know what’s fake,” “In Beverly Hills you can be anything, but it’s most important to be yourself,” and “I’m an expert on luxury, and I can always spot a fake.” I didn’t list out every tagline she’s ever had, but I’m sure you get the point since nothing has changed: Kyle is rich and Kyle is real. She will always try to radiate those “I’m still Jenny from the block” vibes, but that block is somewhere in Beverly Hills instead of a neighborhood in the Bronx.
OG cast member Lisa Vanderpump made it clear that she thinks she is the queen of this show with “The queen of diamonds always has an ace up her sleeve.” Last year her tagline was, “The crown is heavy, darlings. So just leave it where it belongs.” Once gain, nothing has really changed.
As expected, Lisa Rinna played up her infamous “own it” catchphrase: “I don’t have to buy it, ‘cause I already own it.” As polarizing as Rinna is, you have to admit that is a very good tagline: it’s relevant, succinct, and clever.
Dorit Kemsley’s tagline is “I believe in an excess of everything… except moderation.” That makes sense and it does apply to Dorit, it’s just not telling us much about her story lines this season. Pretty much everyone on this show spends lavishly, so any of the women could have used this one.
After a whole season of Dorit and Vanderpump telling Erika Girardi that she’s “cold” and describing her as an “ice queen,” Erika used their insults to her advantage with “Some people call me cold, but that’s not ice. It’s diamonds.” Now we just need to know if that’s Erika Girardi talking or her pop star alter ego Erika Jayne. Either way, I’m sure they both have enough jewelry to validate that statement.
And then there’s the new girl Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave with “Having the best isn’t important to me, but being my best is.” That’s a great quote and I’m sure a lot of Pinterest users have saved some version of it on a “motivational quotes” board, but it’s not giving us a real sense of who this woman is or what she will bring to the show. She had some music metaphors to work with as John Mellencamp’s daughter, but the tagline she ended up with was pretty generic. The fandom needs more than that.

Tonight is the premiere of Season 8, so be sure to join us in the comments at 8/7 C!
Bravo’s summary peek of tonight: “In the eighth season opener, Kyle and Lisa Vanderpump charter a private jet to take the ladies to Las Vegas for a group birthday celebration, but the question of whether Lisa Rinna will join lingers. Dorit’s new friend Teddi hits it off with Lisa Vanderpump over drinks and they invite her along for the ride. Lisa Vanderpump assesses her friendship with Erika and begins to see their relationship in a different light. The ladies let loose in Sin City, with familiar faces Adrienne Maloof and Camille Grammar joining the festivities.”

Jax and Brittany have weathered the SUR storm. Though Jax Taylor admitted to cheating on Brittany Cartwright on Vanderpump Rules this season, and the two had quite the fight in last...Even though they’ve been through a lot throughout on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards have had a pretty steady (and loyal) relationship for the past couple seasons. As the only original cast members left on the show, it make sense that they would stick together.
Unfortunately, that is not what we will see when RHOBH returns for Season 8. Both OG’s discuss the strain on their friendship and where they stand today.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Lisa described the upcoming episodes as “tumultuous,” which sounds interesting for the viewers even though it’s obviously negative for LVP.
The news of friendship woes between Lisa and Kyle isn’t too shocking ever since the Season 8 trailer was released. At one point, Kyle tells Lisa “You didn’t like that it wasn’t about you for a minute.” Erika Girardi remarks, “This whole thing boils down to three bitches that are competitive over friendship,” right before a clip with Lisa’s car pulling away from Dorit Kemsley and Kyle as she tells them, “I’m going home to my husband who would rather spend time with me tonight than you would.”
Lisa did admit “Normally I have my cool, and I kind of lost it that day. ” Kyle shared,” It was so out of character for her to let her guard down like that, that’s why my mouth was literally hanging open.”
The Entertainment Weekly article says “things take a turn about halfway through the season.” Considering that this article comes across as a joint interview, I’m not too worried about the state of their friendship.
Lisa explained, “You know, we have a great relationship, but like any relationship, it has its problems. Like any marriage, or you know, partnership in life or business, you have your struggles, but then you come through it. I think what we have supersedes, you know, the negativity.” Kyle said, “I love Lisa.” She also pointed out, “I mean, Lisa and I, obviously, we’re very close. We’re the closest of the bunch and I could never do the show without her. You know, we keep it fun.” So it’s all good these days, but there are some bumps along the way- but what was the issue? Are Kyle and Lisa in a love triangle with Dorit over friendship?

Once again, Scheana Marie is on the outs with Kristen Doute, Stassi Schroeder, and Katie Maloney on Vanderpump Rules. The cycle really never ends: Scheana wants to be friends with the trio and when she’s friends with them, she can’t take it, and then they start feuding- but will they become friends again? Only time will tell, but based on past history, it is likely. No matter how ugly things get within this cast, they all manage to find forgiveness somehow.
Aside from power tripping and uninviting Katie and Stassi from events, Scheana’s other focus this season is her relationship with Robert Valletta. So of course she made some decor changes to her apartment that she shared with her ex husband Mike Shay. Yes, that includes those notoriously large wedding photos that were plastered on the walls.
Scheana dished on the new season and shared some life updates during an appearance on The Morning Breath. When asked if Shay will be on this season, Scheana said, “Not with me, possibly with other cast members.” That sounds like a “yes” to me.
Pretty much no one is surprised to learn that Scheana kept the solo shots from her wedding. Scheana said, “You see the one of me still hanging in my bedroom because at this point it’s like a joke.” Even so, she did defend herself, asking, “Lisa Vanderpump has pictures of herself all over her house and that’s not weird? And hers are like ten times the size of mine. But that’s OK?”
What about the wedding photos that included Shay? Scheana revealed, “There was one donated to the Museum of Broken Relationships.”
And it wouldn’t be an interview with Scheana if she didn’t talk shit about Katie, Kristen, and Stassi. Scheana said, “No one speaks to me the way you do and you say I was when your best friend I was one of your bridesmaids yet, you’re constantly insulting me judging me and critiquing everything I do. Even if I try to explain myself, it’s like I was always in the wrong.” She continued, “No one coaches me. I’m being a friend other than you three girls. I am very good friend. I am the most selfless person ever, but they think I’m selfish.”
Scheana said, “We don’t talk a lot but when I see them we’re fine we’re cordial were cool. We have Brittany [Cartwright] who kind of keeps us all together, but I just felt like there were three people I didn’t need to be close and best friends with anymore. It just wasn’t bringing any positivity into my life. It was just frustrating more than anything and Rob was sick of me being like ‘Stassi this’ and ‘Kristin that.’ It was just like annoying.”
When discussing her move to Las Vegas to star in the play Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man, Scheana said, “I got this opportunity and it’s the first time going to be doing something for myself in years. I’m really excited.” The first time in years? I don’t know about that one, but it definitely sounds like a good idea for Scheana to get away from Los Angeles if she’s at odds with people in the cast.

Most former Housewives do not admit that they still keep up with the Real Housewives show. I don’t know if it’s because they have bruised egos and don’t want to admit that they watch or because they really don’t watch the franchise anymore, but Brandi Glanville is not one of those alums. She is a very avid Housewives viewer and she has a lot of opinions about everything and everyone on every show. One person that she took major issue with was the New Jersey new girl Margaret Josephs.
For the most part, the audience is really warming up to Margaret (minus the initial shock from the pigtails), and I just figured that Brandi would be one of those fans who loves her since they both take pride in their unfiltered humor. Unfortunately, part of Margaret’s story line struck a very personal cord with Brandi. Nope, Brandi does not have a desire to run a lifestyle brand or rehash childhood nicknames or claim a friendship with Joan Rivers. This is actually a LeAnn Rimes-related issue.
When Brandi invited Margaret to be a guest on her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast, Margaret probably had no idea that Brandi had a major bone to pick with her. Before getting into Brandi’s grievance, they made some small talk about the reunion taping. Margaret told her, “We just wrapped the reunion. It was very epic need I say more.” I feel like every Real Housewives reunion is described as “epic” by a cast member before it airs, so I will have to take that one with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, Jersey is coming through this year, so it is definitely possible.
Margaret admitted, “It wasn’t as intense as I thought it would be. People asked me about it on Twitter and I said “piece of cake” because I think I was so revved up to go to it and then I said to Teresa [Giudice], ‘That was not so bad.’” I guess we shall see soon enough.
And then Brandi shared her feelings with Margaret. She said, “There’s something that you say that really hits close to home and really hurts me.” She explained, “When you’re on national television you talking about missing your kids it’s almost like you’re taking ownership of another woman’s children. I feel like it really pissed me off because all you would have to say is, ‘I miss my step kids.’”
Clearly, Margaret wasn’t expecting that to be the main topic of conversation. She told Brandi, “Brandi, I raise them. Do you know that the mother never had custody of the kids?” Brandi insisted, “But, they’re still biologically her children.”
Margaret admitted, “I understand why you feel that way.” And of course Brandi responded with, “Because it happened to me.” The Marge insisted, “It was a whole different situation altogether. She really didn’t want to see them. She was not like you as a devoted mother.”
Margaret continued, “I didn’t want to call them my step kids because they were so ingrained in my soul. I wasn’t trying to take anything away from her. I was the one at their college and high school graduations. I did everything with them and we never banned her from seeing them.”
Margaret revealed, “I was the only one in the picture. Their mom wasn’t in the picture with them growing up.” Brandi wondered, “She’s in the picture now though?” Margaret said, “No, not really.” After that back and forth, Brandi concluded, “Well, OK then I guess I can give you a pass.”
After the talk with Margaret, Brandi discussed the interview with her producer. She admitted how much the step kids vs. kids verbiage was getting to her: “I was driving over here fuming because I was like ‘Am I going to be able to talk to this lady?'”
She shared, “She did it a lot. She was like ‘I really miss my kids,’ and she was crying. For me as a mother who has given birth, all you have to do is say ‘step.’ Even if you love them as your own kids, as you should and hopefully you do, you can’t take that ownership away from their mother- on TV, especially. It just hit me too close to home.”
Overall, the interview was a good move for Margaret since she did end up winning Brandi over by the end of it- well, for the most part. Brandi said, “I wanted to like her and then this thing came around and I was torn, but now I like her. But I still think she should say ‘step kids,’ even if she feels that they are her kids.” So I guess they will just agree to disagree on this one.
TELL US- WAS BRANDI RIGHTFULLY OFFENDED BY MARGARET’S TENDENCY TO REFER TO HER STEP KIDS WITHOUT THE WORD “STEP”? OR IS IT OK GIVEN MARGARET’S SPECIFIC SITUATION?

Jeff Lewis is one of the few Bravolebrities that can appear on Watch What Happens Live while their show is in between seasons. He is so ingrained in everything Bravo, has close friendships with fellow Bravolebrities, and has opinions on almost every year. If Andy Cohen ever wanted to go on vacation, Jeff would be a great fill-in host for a few nights.
Jeff shared his love for Vanderpump Rules, his Real Housewives of Orange County insight as a close friend of Shannon Beador, a status update on his relationship with Zoila Chavez, and plans to have more children with Gage Edward.
When Andy mentioned Vanderpump Rules, Jeff told him, “First of all, I love that show. I told you it should be on twenty four seven. It’s the only show that I watch live which says a lot.” I completely understand, Jeff.
A caller asked Jeff if he saw Shannon and David Beador’s divorce coming. Jeff admitted, “Yes, I did.” Andy chimed in saying, “With all due, it wouldn’t have taken a rocket scientist.” Jeff shared, “Yeah. I just have to be careful. I know a lot. I’ve known it for a long time, but I’m a loyal friend.”
One thing that Jeff had no issue sharing was his reaction to Shannon and Tamra Judge’s reconciliation with Vicki Gunvalson during t the RHOC reunion. Jeff revealed, “I think I cried. I was so, so happy. It’s what what the franchise needed.”
Andy wondered, “And they’re still talking and hanging out?” Jeff confirmed, “They’re getting along. They’re actually really excited. They’re already starting to talk about the trips next season and the tequila. That’s what I love about that show: when they go drink, party, and jump in the pool. I’m in.” Now, that’s what I’m talking about. Let’s restore Real Housewives of Orange County to its former glory!
On a less cheerful note, Andy asked Jeff, “How is your relationship with Zoila these days? Do you see her at all?” Jeff admitted, “No, not much. She’s in Nicaragua. She’s seeing family. It’s all changed.”
And then moving back to the good news, Jeff is all for giving baby Monroe a sibling. He explained, “We’re starting to discuss it. I think Monroe is so terribly spoiled that we need to have another child. I’m afraid of ruining her more. Yes, we are starting to discuss it, but I think it’s a couple years out.”
Andy asked Jeff, “Did you get more eggs from Monroe’s mother so it would be a sibling?” He revealed, “We have five frozen embryos all from the same donor. I spent a fortune on this super model to donate these eggs and that kid looks just like me. It could have been any of you and I could have saved myself a lot of money.”

Jax Taylor is the least surprising person on Vanderpump Rules? Possibly in the whole species universe. His life cycle is drink, cheat, lie, repeat. Dude, even freaking amoebas evolve. You know what else doesn’t evolve: Lala Kent‘s makeup. Yep, she reappears this episode with the same crazy over-lined lips but also a promise not to ‘Jax’ Lisa Vanderpump over ever again. Maybe change does happen on Vanderpump Rules?
So Jax cheated on Brittany Cartwright with her friend Faith Stowers, possibly impregnating her, and after posturing like she might actually leave reality TV him, they’re having more sex than EVER! Brittany just wants to feel something with Jax; she wants to know he loves her more than all the other girls. That logic is, well, that’s the reason she’s in a relationship with Jax! But doesn’t Brittany’s relationship with Jesus remind her that she should have some moral standing, or standards? I don’t understand reality TV religion.
Brittany confesses all this during a spa day with Stassi Schroeder. A spa day that was supposed to be for Jax and Brittany’s 2 year anniversary. (true story: I accidentally typed “spay day” both times I wrote spa, which must’ve been a Freudian slip because Brittany and Jax should never be allowed to reproduce).
Stassi is well-aware of how Brittany is feeling. She was duped by Jax’s mesmerizing promises to change and his hyno-dick for years. Can we briefly pause this recap to discuss how much better Jax’s OLD nose was? Every time there is a flashback scene I think this.
Has it really ONLY been two years since Brittany and Jax got together? Anyway, has Brittany in her Kentucky Fried Education System ever heard of Pavlov’s Dogs (which really should be the name of Jax’s harem)? She is REWARDING his bad behavior! What does Jax want more than anything: to have women ignore his bad deeds and then f–k him. SO there ya’ go Britt – cheat and reward him with non-stop freaky hate sex!
Over drinks with Tom 1 and James Kennedy (!), Jax reveals that he’s actually had more sex in the last 3 days than the last 6 months. On the other side of the table, nursing a fancy beer is Tom 1 – who is living a bad country song. Not only does he have friends in low places, but he’s got an achy-breaky heart. Poor Tom 1 is suffering the curse of the ‘nice guy’ – Ariana Madix won’t touch him with a ten-foot pole. Or even the whip they bought. Tom feels like a lecher when he even compliments her. He’s so desperate that one lonely sex-starved night he downloaded an audiobook about intimacy. Is that proof Tom can’t read unless it’s the ingredients on a hair care label? Eh – he probably watches the reviews on YouTube.
Ariana is just really devoted to riding her horse. And this horse is gonna ride right out on Tom. Which is a shame because Tom wishes Ariana would save the horse and ride a cowboy, or a “bartender” (which was clever). Tom even volunteers to put on a saddle. Unfortunately Ariana is having trouble staying IN any saddle! She takes Brittany to the stables to watch her ride, then Ariana falls right off the horse into the dirt. Is that a metaphor for what’s to come with Tom 1?
Ariana is supposed to be riding this horse in a competition over the weekend, and she likes to WIN. Win everything except Tom’s heart, that is. Maybe that’s the problem? Now that Ariana has won Tom from Kristen Doute, she’s no longer that interested in him? Or Tom is just boring, needy, immature, and won’t stop hanging out with Jax? Or maybe she’s annoyed that Tom 1 has screwed up the Tom Tom opportunity with Lisa and will for all eternity be just a bartender. Maybe Ariana would ride a bar owner?! Things one ponders when watching Vanderpump Rules…
Tom is so desperate for lovin’ even seeks relationship advice from Ariana’s brother Jeremy, who doesn’t seem to notice how gross and inappropriate this conversation is and instead suggests Tom get to the bottom of why Ariana is blocking his c–k. Solid advice, brah.
Tom 2 is also feeling the frustrations with Tom 1. Katie Maloney is annoyed that T2 spends all day sitting on the sofa wearing Adidas track pants, and she was counting on him actually following through with Tom Tom. Luckily for Tom 2, Tom 1 may have shot that opportunity in the shower-slide clad foot. Usually this would be welcome news but enraged wife = rage texts for life! So Tom 2 grabs some cheap ass supermarket flowers and an “I’m Sorry” balloon to grovel at Lisa’s Louboutins for another chance.
So clueless… Dude, if you want to show you’re serious, why not go to an actual florist. Like, really? You stopped by Trader Joe’s and snatched any old hideous wilty bouquet with pink flowers in it? Cause nothing says I’m a wannabe business person like a schlubby t-shirt and some cheap flowers. Lisa is not wooed, but she does hear Tom’s plight, and after lecturing him about how Tom 1 doesn’t appreciate this opportunity and Tom 2 needs to grow the F up, Lisa agrees to at least another meeting with the Toms. Then she throws the offending balloon right into the garbage, where it should be. Thanks for your contribution to pollution Tom 2!
Lisa was alllllll about giving chances this episode because here comes Lala back from the reality TV deads. Strolling through the door in her best stripper heels, Lala explains that like well, maybe she did lie last year when she swore to she bought her own Range Rover, and even through she is still allegedly with Randall (whose name still can’t be uttered on TV), she did make her life miserable trying to cover for his married ass. With this admission, Lala begs Lisa for another shot at fame and promises this time she’ll be a reliable hostess. Apparently we’re supposed to believe that Lala needs to work because Randall only buys fancy purses, but won’t pay rent. Apparently we’re also supposed to believe that Lisa is letting Lala come back because she was really a super-good hostess. Um, is hostessing something that requires skill?
It’s not like being, say, a DJ! That’s right in the other other second chance category James is headed back to SUR for James Kennedy’s Tuesday Night Turn-up. This time, though, he’s not coming back as an actual employee, but as a freelance DJ who will get a percentage of the bar take. Lisa thinks this will help James stay in line – and off the sauce. James is thrilled. This time… THIS TIME…. he’s gonna make it after all! And to prove it, James is beginning this auspicious opportunity with a lie that he’s not really drinking anymore. Cut to a scene of him taking shots and having wine dumped in his mouth by Lala.
Lisa also allows Raquel to donate her time cleaning up puppy poop at Vanderpump Dogs. This is how she treats her anxiety or something. Anxiety over dating James? Lisa quite possibly believes that Raquel or “Bambi on speed,” is a Fembot. I agree that Raquel is not made of human stuff because who else would arrive to clean up dog waste wearing a skintight cleavage baring bodysuit and designer jeans? Maybe that’s an ‘Only in LA’ thing? Privately I think Lisa put her on poop duty intentionally.
And, last but not least, in the second chances category: Stassi is back through the vestiges of SUR to help host parties. It appears that Lisa and Natalie have already done all the work and Stassi is in charge only of choosing napkin colors? Lisa sees Stassi’s role as like event assistant. Which is not at all the same as being a legit event planner out in the wilds – she’s simply costumizing events at SUR, like helping people choose from the menu, then ordering flowers from their florist. In Stassism, however, this is the first step in her elevation to LVP Boss Status. Also Stassi privately likes that she’s one notch higher on the totem pole than lowly waitress Scheana Marie, who decries that she will NOT be bossed around by Stassi while working any SUR parties. These people need some serious perspective.
Since Stassi is feeling benevolent in her newly exalted role of SUR assistant napkin supervisor, she’s practicing event planning by throwing Brittany a “Dump Jax” slumber party. And all the girls are invited: even Scheana and Ariana. I don’t really get the point of this – Brittany, for all intents and purposes, doesn’t seem too broken-hearted over Jax’s dalliance, but apparently she needs her friends’ support against hate sex. The party is filled with all of Brittany’s favorite things: MawMaw’s beer cheese, tequila, chocolate milk (spiked with booze), and plenty of Jax bashing in piñata form.
Everything was going swell, but then the witches of WeHo appeared, casting their dark hearts through the bliss with a spell intent to destroy Jax, and with hopes it would be the messenger (Ariana) who was also killed. Casualty of Stassi’s War! Brittany believes that Jesus will forgive her spell casting in these extenuating circumstances, based on what happens next #DOUBTIT!
As the ladies are bashing Jax literally and figuratively (in donkey (ass)-shaped piñata form), the guys are drinking beers, relieved that it’s all gonna be OK. Just in case they gift Jax with a chastity c-ck ring, a plastic box that looks like a banana keeper. EW. The poor boys believe the girls will get all their anger out of their system, then quietly return to simmering discontent with an undercurrent of gentle rage. The balance, despite the CIA level cheating operatives of Stassi, Katie, and Kristen, will not be disturbed. Enter: Ariana. It is she who spills the spiked chocolate milk that Jax didn’t just do it with Faith once; it wasn’t just a momentary lapse in judgement like he claims – it was multiple times.
Ariana even predicts that when Brittany confronts him, he’ll argue “two, five, ten times – it doesn’t matter.” So the girls put Jax to the test. Brittany calls him on speaker and grills him. As soon as the guys see Brittany’s number flash on the screen a hush descends, except from James, who gleefully claps his hand and whoops “I love it!” I love James!
While Brittany is listening to Jax try to lie his way out of this latest lie, Stassi starts having PTSD flashbacks to the many times Jax lied and lied to her. Of course Jax denies his multiple hook ups with Faith, then he blames the girls for meddling, then, as predicted, tells Brittany it doesn’t matter how many times, finally he screams at her to “shut-up!” After she hangs up to sob, Ariana calmly calls Tom 1 and informs him that Jax is not allowed to come home tonight and they will be babysitting Brittany to stop the bastard at the door.
So, if Jax wants Brittany’s friends to stay out of their love life, maybe he shouldn’t cheat with Brittany’s friends? And Jax … dude… just keep it in your pants. Although, like James, I love the drama!
TELL US – WILL BRITTANY GIVE JAX YET ANOTHER CHANCE? WILL ARIANA AND STASSI EVER BE FRIENDS? ARE YOU GLAD LALA’S BACK?

The post Vanderpump Rules Recap: On And Off The Saddle appeared first on Reality Tea.
Not gonna lie, I shed a wee tear last night after the madness of 90 Day Fiance season five drew to a close. What are we going to do with our lives until the next crop of morons is rustled up for season six?!? My husband asked me last night during the three-hour marathon if I “sometimes felt like a bad person?” for watching this train wreck. Um….NO. No I do not, sir! TLC has accomplished the impossible, has it not? It has literally made me feel better about every life choice I have ever made, and for that I am forever indebted.
As mentioned in the previous recap, I’ll only be covering the one-hour finale in short order, but oh boy – is there lots o’ drama in last night’s Tell All to snark on too! Feel free to do so in the comments section, where all snark is embraced and cherished equally. Now, on to the show. In the interest of getting to the good stuff, let’s run down the highlights of each couples’ final moments with us. We laughed, we cried, we cringed with embarrassment at the bras hanging out of people’s backless shirts. It was a journey, people.
Okay, so. Molly and Luis. Where to start? Besides slowly morphing into Danielle and Mohamed Jbali, Molly and Luis aren’t doing a whole lot during the finale except, in Molly’s case, apologizing to everyone she knows for being a lying idiot, and in Luis’s case, being invisible. Because Luis has disappeared, guys. Like Witness Protection Program/Mohamed Uber Escape Vehicle disappeared. He initially doesn’t even show up at the reunion. Which surprises everyone except Andrei, who thought he was “a punk” from the beginning. Hmm. Takes one to know one? Luis does pop up halfway through the reunion to show off his new brand of hair grease, laugh in Molly’s face, and express zero remorse about his dirtbag ways. Because he’s a prince, that one.
Short of screaming “YOU FRAUDED ME!” into the heavens from her front lawn, Molly is handling Luis’s disappearance as best she can. By that, I mean explaining herself to the producers like a kid called into detention and reluctantly confessing the truth to her family. All conversations go a little something like this: “Luis and I got legally married – but it didn’t really count so don’t hate me, kaaaaaaay?” This woman is exhausting.
Olivia and Molly’s father both basically tell her she is full of sh*t, and it’s especially heartbreaking seeing the betrayal register on poor Olivia’s face. She can’t believe her mother not only brought a stranger into their lives, but married him without telling her daughters! The garbage person Molly has turned into is virtually unrecognizable to Olivia, who has always been close to her mom. Molly’s redemption tour either starts now, or she humiliates herself by begging Luis to come back. At the reunion, we find out she does the latter, which elicits a collective groan from all womankind.
But I have a third alternative to propose: Molly – kick Luis to the curb, immediately file papers for an annulment, grab you a white binder, call Walmart Tom, and commence stalking Luis on SHOSHAL media with grammatically f**ked up threats from this day forward. Danielle can be your life coach, girl. (Last seen, she can be found on Instagram selling autographed photos of herself on a rocking chair. #Genius)
Andrei and Elizabeth get married in the woods, where Libby’s father sweats profusely through his suit and tosses empty threats her way about Andrei “not deserving her.” Alas, he must stop his grown man hissy fit before cardiac arrest sets in by the punch bowl, and the wedding ends up being pretty drama-free. Libby’s sisters dress up in their best club wear, celebrating their baby sister’s big day (and much improved lip shade). Elizabeth does look pretty in her dress, and will probably stay married to her caveman for a long, long time – if she can toss that sh*t stirring spoon of hers in the garbage. And also if she agrees to wear a tracking device on her ankle every time she leaves the apartment. Andrei is thrilled to be wifed up. Back in his country, women push a plow for forty years, then die. He hopes life with Libby will provide more amusement.
Annie and David’s big day, sponsored by Fantasy Thailand (TM), is everything Annie dreamed of since her birth in 1997. David’s daughter Ashley – who, as a reminder, is FOUR YEARS OLDER than Annie – barely shows up to the event after finding out that this very special disaster 1) is taking place on her birthday, and 2) is a giant scam on everyone in attendance. “Her a$$ can go back to Thailand,” snarks Ashley to her brother through gritted teeth as she watches Annie the alleged prostitution wh*re pose in her discount dress. David waddles through his first dance with Annie, barely able to remain vertical after drinking for 18 hours prior to his vows. Annie cheers that she’s just “so happy to wake up to this man!” for the rest of her life. <dry heave> Better her than me, dude. She’s a big fan of cinderblock rooms and man hips, apparently.
David and Evelyn are excited about joining their hearts and souls together in holy apple picking matrimony in Claremont, NH. Evelyn’s dad has gone all out with his man bun, looking hipster culty in his full beard and pink bowtie. As he walks his teenage daughter down the aisle to give her away to a foreign virgin, tears come to his eyes. Unless someone puts a tambourine in Yoko David’s hand soon, the family band is on notice. Somebody needs to alert that producer/local neighborhood creepster that his steady income of four glazed doughnuts per week will be drying up soon.
The young couple dances the night away at their reception, Evelyn making sure not to soil her Corpse Bride gown. Then she dresses up in grandma’s quilt later (WTF was that thing?!) to wave goodbye to everyone, her black thong likely on backwards underneath. Special shout out to Mikayla the bridesmaid for her deadpan delivery of good tidings! “If Evelyn is happy, we are happy,” she robotically tells producers. This line is delivered in the same tone one might say, “Your dog didn’t survive the hit and run.” #MiykaylaIsMySpiritAnimal
Okay, last but not least: Nicole and Azan. Except, Azan is in the same catfisher’s vanishing program that Mo and Luis have joined! Yes, it’s Nicole and only Nicole who will rock herself to sleep at night from now on. She will have to sniff her own shoulder and body slam herself into doorways to remember the good times – because Azan isn’t coming to the U.S after all! His visa was denied according to internet sleuthing, but Nicole doesn’t know this yet in the finale. So she grins about her true love’s visa interview coming up and, true to form, threatens to take May to Morocco when her mother, Robbalee, questions what she’ll do if Azan is denied. Robbalee can barely stomach Nicole’s threats because, as she knows, they are not empty.
As May is forced to hide under a table for amusement (because the iPad has died?), Nicole just smiles her evil, manipulative smile, goading her mother into tears of frustration. She will never stop torturing them – Azan, her mom, her baby girl. Everyone will cower before Nicole Of The Dirty Tank Top OR ELSE SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!!! One question for Robbalee: How exactly did you let this Nicole beast happen? And what advice do you have for parents to NEVER let this sh*t happen again? Asking for a friend.
Well guys, it’s the end of an era. But when one fire station door closes, another one opens. My secret sources tell me that TLC is working on a new season of 90DF right now – and it just may include some fan favorites from Before The 90 Days. Oh yeah, you heard that right. I can’t reveal exactly who has leaked news about cameras filming him, but let’s just say he likes to burn houses down, is scared of the poop water, and carries around hairballs for fun. 
Until we meet again to bravely climb the ultimately garbage heap of all reality shows together…happy holidays, everyone!

John Legend is NBC's Jesus Christ. The Grammy, Oscar and Tony winner will star in Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert!, airing Easter Sunday, April 1. The live musical production will air...Only a few minutes into the first episode of Vanderpump Rules Season 6, the fandom was hit with a major scandal: Jax Taylor allegedly cheated on Brittany Cartwright, the saint of SUR, with Faith Stowers, a glorified extra who used to hook up with Max Todd. Now, we know that he actually did do that and the polite use of “allegedly” was far too generous.
OG cast members Kristen Doute and Katie Maloney have a lot to say about Jax’s infidelity, Faith’s thirst to stay on the show, and just for good measure, they talked about Scheana Marie and her post-divorce love life.
Kristen and Katie did not hold back during their interview for the Pump Rules Podcast. Katie had no issue calling out the only plausible motive for Faith sleeping with Jax: “She probably only did that to guarantee a place on the show.” She even said, “If we’re going to talk about the friend group here, it’s like second cousin removed.” That was one hundred percent on point.
Kristen theorized, “Faith was like ‘If I can f-ck my way into this group, then maybe I can be a cast member.'” It worked for James Kennedy, but I doubt Faith will ever get full-time status. Most likely she will just get some unflattering screen time and a shit ton of social media hate. There are no Instagram ads for detox tea or tinted sunglasses in her future.
For a while, Kristen was optimistic about Jax’s relationship with Brittany. She shared, “I’ve known Jax for ten years. He was my first friend in LA.” She continued, “It was like he could do three weeks and it was done and if it lasted longer, there was a little bit of hope. Then with Brittany, I’m like ‘I don’t see the tell tale signs.'” I guess Kristen didn’t hear about those fake eyelashes that Brittany found on their kitchen counter.
As naive as it sounds, a lot of people were really rooting for Jax and Brittany to make it work (or at least I was). It was clearly just wishful thinking to hope for a new Jax, but cheating on Brittany really was a disappointment to us all. Katie admitted, “We’re like dude, you f-cking bummed all of us out. We were rooting for Brittany, but we were also like maybe two percent rooting for you that you were maybe, finally shaping up a little bit.” Yeah, not so much.
Katie said, “Honestly, this is not in the defense of Jax, we cannot blame the dudes anymore. This is a point where the women need to wake up. Take cues anywhere that you can find them. Take the cues, please.” Kristen said, “She makes women look f-cking stupid.” Damn. That is harsh and untrue. Kristen did make a very valid point a few seconds later: “If you want marriage, you want kids, and that’s all you’ve ever wanted, then why be with Jax?” That’s a good question.
Kristen thinks, “He’s bullying her into breaking up with him. He’s too big of a p-ssy. If Brittany breaks up with him, he gets to use it as an excuse.” She later said, “He doesn’t want to be with her. That’s my opinion. Watching this f-cking episode: you cheat on her, you don’t want to be with her – especially if you cheat and lie.”
At another point in the podcast, Kristen and Katie discussed Scheana dragging her ex Mike Shay on the show. Kristen declared, “It’s f-cking rude. You guys have been through enough.” She also said, “They’re divorced, you have a new boyfriend, so move the f-ck on. Why are you still dragging his name?” Katie added, “If you’re happy, then you’re just f-cking happy,” but that’s not Scheana’s style. This is the same person who has an “It’s All Happening” tattoo on her arm. She is anything but subtle.
Kristen said, “She has nothing else to f-cking talk about.” She also told Katie, “The only thing Scheana has to talk about is how you suck, Rob [Valletta] is the best thing ever, and Shay sucks. Scheana does not have a hobby and she has no friends.” Katie said, “She is and will always be the victim, no matter f-cking what.” Pretty much.
TELL US – DID FAITH HAVE SEX WITH JAX JUST TO GET ON THE SHOW? WILL JAX AND BRITTANY STAY TOGETHER? DOES SCHEANA PLAY THE VICTIM?
