I have no idea why Faith Stowers would go out of her way to be a villain on Vanderpump Rules, but that’s what she’s done and she’s not even a bad girl with laugh-worthy shade and cutting one-liners. She slept with Jax Taylor while he was still dating the saint of SUR (and the most likable person in the cast) Brittany Cartwright.
Not only was Brittany devastated to learn that her boyfriend cheated on her (in a very public manner), but she couldn’t believe that the woman Jax slept with was one of her friends. Now Faith is denying that she was ever friends with Brittany and she’s made it clear that she has zero sympathy for Brittany.
Faith went from being a glorified extra to enemy number two (Jax is still on many people’s shit list for hurting Brittany) on Vanderpump Rules. She slept with Jax and waited until Season 6 started shooting to reveal the hookup and the news that she allegedly missed her period. The thirst was too real. Faith was straight up dehydrated in her search for screen time and now she’s doing interviews about the scandal.
Faith told Us Weekly, “I don’t owe Brittany anything, I’m not Brittany’s friend.” Really? Then why did every single person on the cast get a completely different impression?
She continued, “Brittany doesn’t even text me back. I mean, I’m confused.” Why would Brittany ever text her back? Faith slept with Brittany’s boyfriend while a senior citizen was asleep in the same room. The whole situation was beyond grimy.
Faith wasn’t done looking for the limelight sharing her story. She also says that Jax and Brittany previously wanted to have a threesome with her. She told Us Weekly, “The only reason why you text me in the beginning was cause you wanted a threesome.”
Faith said, “I was like laughing, ‘LOL, you guys are hilarious. Brittany’s pretty cute though.’ I’m kind of flirting with the idea, but I’m not serious,” She added. “I think that’s what pushed the envelope for him. OK now I’m bringing up threesomes, here we go.”
Get ready to vomit. It gets even more ridiculous. Faith claims that she “actually liked” Jax and she described their relationship as “very intimate.”
She explains that she got offended when Jax denied hooking up with her during the season premiere episode: “I actually liked Jax, like I actually appreciated his time, and so it was the fact that he lied to my face.” How can she be surprised that someone who lied to his actual girlfriend was lying to the girl he cheated on her with? Seriously, Faith?
Faith alleged, “This kid was almost in tears laying in my bed, talking about this girl, saying he was done with her and he felt trapped. But lie to my face at a party?” No one cares that Jax lied to your face, Faith. The only person anyone cares about in this scenario is Brittany.
She claimed, “It was almost like he really, really needed this.It was … you could just tell, ’cause even when during the intercourse, it was very intimate, it was like … he just, I don’t know. He was in a whole other world, he was just so excited. I don’t know. I was into it, cause I liked him, I could tell he was more into it than I was. If that makes any sense.” This is just too much.
Faith didn’t limit the shit talking to that interview though. She tweeted, “Ok so Britney can threaten to stab me if she saw me “which we all know that would end badly for her if she ever touched me but can go have sex with a cheating man the following day he cheats …. this is twisted !”
Faith does have at least one person in her corner. Someone tweeted, “Brittany is one of those dumb bitches who will always take him back….and it will ALWAYS be the other woman’s fault.” Faith retweeted the post and even responded with, “Amen.”
She even made it a point to tell Us Weekly, “I’m assuming the man is STD free, because I don’t have anything.” That’s correct. She really doesn’t have anything: dignity, loyalty, honesty…. a Vanderpump Rules paycheck. But hey, that’s all well and good since she is STD free.

Survivor debuted over 17 years ago (!!!) and has just put the wraps on its 35th season. The Finale Episode of Survivor: HHH was one for the ages, but wasn’t without controversy. Heading into the episode we had Chrissy, Ryan, Devon, Ben and Dr. Mike all in the running to be this season’s Sole Survivor…so who ended up winning the million and the title?
Caution, as spoilers from this week’s episode are to follow! Turn back now! If you want to get caught up, be sure to check out the Finale Episode Recap here.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE, AND THIS IS YOUR LAST *SPOILER* WARNING!
Of course it was Ben Driebergen, the 36-year-old Marine from Boise, Idaho, who, against all odds, became the latest winner of Survivor. It wasn’t pretty: Ben never won Individual Immunity and the 11 votes he received this season breaks a record for most votes against a Sole Survivor (Aras Baskauskas of Survivor: Panama was the previous record-holder with nine votes against). Still, he managed to find three straight hidden Immunity Idols and played them all perfectly down the stretch to reach Final Four. There, with his hopes all but crushed, he was given one more chance when the game introduced a fire-making twist…Ben was able to make fire quicker than Devon and he put himself in the Final Three. The rest is history.
People might forget though, that Ben didn’t just “get lucky” down the stretch. Ben was calling the shots for a great majority of the game, leading others to even refer to him as the “King” and the leader of the “Knights of the Round Table.” He was able to survive after the tribe swap despite being the only Hero on his new tribe, and his “double agent” episodes showed that he was one of the more cunning players in the game, willing to do whatever he could to win the game for his family and children. His season’s story was that of a true hero, one that was battling real demons after his time in combat, and he ended up being a vocal spokesperson for PTSD, showing that there is life and happiness for soldiers returning home from war. Despite an abrasive social game, Ben won the final vote 5-2-1 over Chrissy and Ryan.
Speaking of Chrissy and Ryan, they ultimately stayed true to their alliance that formed across tribal lines on just Day Three in the game. It was then that Ryan chose Chrissy to receive his “Super Idol,” and even though Chrissy ended up not needing to use it, the gesture made the two fast allies. Talk about abrasive game-play, Chrissy rubbed many people (mostly fans!) the wrong way, but she was in total control of the game throughout much of it. She won four Individual Immunity Challenges, which is tied for the most ever in one season by a female. Her heated rivalry with Ben was one of the strongest elements of this season, and neither player relented. Ryan on the other hand, became a fan-favorite with his funny one-liners and due to the fact that he is a “super-fan” of the show, but even though he appeared to know the game in-and-out from the beginning, he made some bad moves along the way and wasn’t perceived as having much of a chance to win the game in the end…but that being said, Ryan did manage to earn one final vote from his original ally, Devon, who gave it to him after he felt Ryan gave a strong Final Tribal performance.
Before we had reached Final Three, the game lost two other fan-favorites as well. Dr. Mike had been slipping by for most of the game and was rarely involved in the majority vote, but he showed a true resilience and eagerness to play the game. When Ben played his record third-straight Idol, Devon should have gone home, but Devon – in what ended up being a great move – cast his vote for Mike to ensure I tie vote should Ben actually play his Idol. Well he did, and the gut-decision kept Devon in the game and sent Mike out after the re-vote. Devon’s fate was then placed in his own hands – literally – when in a Survivor first, he had to beat Ben at a fire-making challenge in order to make Final Three. He practiced, then he tried relaxing and focusing, but he was unable to stop the immovable force that Ben became late in the game. With no votes against him – and Ben’s single vote being the only vote he received the entire game – Devon was the final player sent to the jury.
I had a chance to speak with FOUR of the five Final Survivor contestants on this week’s mega-sized edition of the FilmSurvivor Podcast (the full audio of which you can find and download below). I spoke to Ben one-on-one, and then was on a shared call with Devon and Mike…I then was set to have a shared interview with both Chrissy and Ryan, but due to a last minute cancellation (a flight issue), Chrissy was unfortunately not available…but I was able to still have a one-on-one with Ryan. As for Chrissy, I’m being told that they are trying to re-schedule her with me, but as this sometimes goes, I’ll have to wait and see. If I do end up getting a chance to chat with Chrissy, I will post that interview in a future Podcast.

Congratulations are in order for Real Housewives of Orange County cast member Meghan Edmonds, her husband Jim Edmonds, and their daughter Aspen!
Meghan recently announced the news that she is pregnant with her second baby, but that’s actually not the case. It turns out that she is pregnant with baby number two and baby number three!
Both parents shared the news in two separate Instagram posts with the same photo of the two of them, baby Aspen, and their beloved dog Girly Girl. Meghan posted it saying, “Surprise, surprise! We’re having TWINS! Oh boy oh boy! #doubletrouble #threeundertwo.”
Jim wrote, “Edmonds twins coming soon. we are excited to announce our new news. #lookoutworld.”.
After Jim got a vasectomy, Meghan and Jim shared their journey to get pregnant with baby Aspen via IVF on Real Housewives of Orange County.
They publicly announced the news of the second pregnancy via Instagram, but Meghan mentioned it when she taped the RHOC Season 12 reunion when she was just one month into the pregnancy. Now I’m just wondering if Meghan, baby Aspen, and the Edmonds twins will be present for the Real Housewives of Orange County cast trips next season. Aspen was the first kid to ever go on a Housewives cast trip since Meghan was breast feeding and she was the inadvertent catalyst to some major drama when Peggy Sulahian called her out for crying. It will be interesting to see if she and her brothers join Meghan and the ladies next year… if Meghan is still a cast member on the show.
Her tag line last season was “I can handle a baby, and women who act like one!” So it would make a lot of sense if she wanted to ditch the drama and just focus on her kids.

Not much happened during the Season 8 premiere episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but it was glorious to see the ladies from the 90210 back in their element, living lavishly and throwing shade.
Lisa Vanderpump made sure to remind us all that she is an OG cast member and the queen of the show. Her tag line alluded to this (yet again): “The queen of diamonds always has an ace up her sleeve.” She also had some shady comments up her sleeve, but she was very subtle with her delivery. She really is a pro at this.
Lisa continued to be the queen of subtle shade in her (extremely verbose) Bravo blog post. After reminding us all (for the millionth time) that she has been on this show from the beginning, she wrote, “What has withstood the test of time would be the intricate friendship between Kyle [Richards] and myself. It blossomed and flourished as we bonded over many hilarious situations, clung to each other, supportively chastised our differences, and at times floundered as third parties often intervened.” The first person who comes to mind is Lisa’s best-friend-turned-enemy Brandi Glanville. More recently, I’m thinking of that clip from the trailer with Lisa speeding away from Kyle and Dorit Kemsley to hang out with her husband because they didn’t want to hang out with her.
On a nicer note, Lisa added, “Both of our lives have matured as we have cultivated our passions, raised our children, and immersed ourselves in projects we could only have dreamt of.”
Lisa continued the niceties with a shout out for Erika Girardi followed by compliments for Lisa Rinna’s daughters and Dorit’s son: “One of the joys of riding this train has been to observe the growth of our friends, to see Erika fulfilling her ambitions, to witness the children mature with Jagger talking and Lisa’s beautiful girls developing their modeling careers. It’s all documented and a wonderful story to cherish.”
Then Lisa got to the new girl Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave: “So as we venture forward, all is well, and we are introduced to Miss Teddi, whom I believe to be a genuine, down-to-earth young woman who is refreshingly honest and that holds steadfast in her resolve as she encounters various situations. But, as often happens when a new cog is entered into the complex machinations of a group of women, things can rapidly change…” Well yes, that’s what happens whenever a new lady joins the show.

After dating around Charleston on Southern Charm, Shep Rose landed his own dating show aptly titled Relationshep. Considering that Shep revealed a recent hookup with a fellow Bravolebrity while he was a guest on Watch What Happens Live, it’s pretty doubtful that he’s with someone from the show – unless, she is just very laid back.
I guess we will have to wait and see how that all plays out, but it turns out that someone from the show will be moving to Charleston, even though it’s unclear if she’s “dating” Shep. Shep also shared some updates on his Southern Charm costars Kathryn Dennis, Thomas Ravenel, Naomie Olindo, and Craig Conover.
Shep discussed Relationshep and Southern Charm during an appearance on The Morning Breath. When asked if he was in a relationship from the show, he gave the expected answer: “I can’t reveal that.” Well, of course. That would be a big no-no in the reality TV dating world. Shep also said, “I can’t post any pictures.” Again – a major no-no.
When asked about the conclusion of the show and if there’s a “winner,” Shep confirmed with “Yeah.” There isn’t a proposal at the end of the season though. Shep said, “No, absolutely not and that was a stipulation in the beginning. I only got to know these girls over a two month period. Let’s be realistic about life. I’ve certainly tried to be as much as possible.”
Later in the interview, Shep shared, “It’s funny because a girl on Relationshep actually moved to Charleston and she’s a little bit on this season too. She gets involved in – I don’t want to reveal it, but you’ll be like ‘Oh I remember her’ and you’ll put two and two together.” So did she move to Charleston as Shep’s love interest or a clingy “ex” or something else entirely? Once again, I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Even though Shep couldn’t dish too much on his own love life, he did talk about the former relationships on Southern Charm. Naomie and Craig broke up and Shep teased, “It’s so funny to see them separate now. You’re going to love it. Naomie is so sarcastic now about Craig. Before she kind of had to defend him and now the gloves are off and Craig is embroidering pillows on the side.”
That sounds like good TV to me. Plus, they have nothing to worry about since Thomas and Kathryn will always be the most infamous exes on this show. Shep shared, “I’ve never seen them happier or in a better place in their own personal relationship. Thomas has a new girlfriend and goddamn if that doesn’t throw a wrench in…” I would love to know what he finished that sentence with, but when asked if the audience will like Thomas’ new lady, Shep said, “I will reserve judgment,” which is a pretty interesting response.
One person on Southern Charm who is super happy in love – not that we ever get to see it – is Cameran Eubanks whose husband has never appeared on the show. They just welcomed the arrival of their first child, but Shep hasn’t met her yet. He revealed, “I have to get inoculated. She’s married to a doctor.” Fair enough.

The glitz, the glamour, the gowns – it’s all back on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! Lisa Rinna is also back, but this time around she’s trying to replace her role of resident villain with a new title: Momager. Lisa’s daughters, Delilah Belle Hamlin and Amelia Gray Hamlin, are forging ahead in the fashion world next to the likes of Yolanda Hadid’s assorted offspring. And Lisa hopes to use her trademark hustling skills to milk every dime out of them help them succeed.
Lisa cheers, “2017 has been quite an exciting time around the Hamlin household since both of our girls, Delilah Belle and Amelia Gray, have been signed by IMG Models Worldwide. Time certainly flies, because not so long ago the girls were making toast at our local deli!”
In another Yolanda parallel, Lisa decided to make IV-drips the first riveting storyline in her “journey” this season. (Although, we demand white bathrobes be worn next time!)
She quips, “Needless to say, staying busy can take a physical toll, and the girls have found themselves under the weather. Amelia was sick, and I didn’t have time to get sick myself, so I was more than happy to have the Beverly Hills Concierge come over, pump us all full of vitamins, and call it a day. They perked right up and off we went to New York!”

Perhaps in homage to her trademark sh*t stirring ways, Lisa explains her attempt to turn over a new leaf. “I have also realized how important it is to be a role model for my girls. They need to see their mom happy, positive, and empowering of other women. It’s so easy to be offended and reactive of others behavior, and that’s not the route I want to take anymore. Especially since my girls have embarked on their new career where it’s so important to remain grounded and self-confident.”
In other words, Lisa can’t be asking people about coke dens at dinner parties if she wants to make a buck in the modeling world. Right? Theoretically. Allegedly. Probably.
“I’m excited to embark on this new journey of kindness, understanding, and empowerment of women,” Lisa continues in her blog, “and what better time to get started on my new mantra than in scorching hot Las Vegas while celebrating all of my fellow Cancer Crabs.”
As if setting up her new positive image for the season ahead, Lisa closes with by stating, “That was then and this is now.”

It’s an enormous bummer that this season of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey has been derailed into bitter accusations of anti-Semitism, especially after we hearty souls weathered the petty nonsense of cake-gate for so damn long! Can’t we just watch these broads make pasta in Milan, get confused about cathedrals, mispronounce some sh*t, and call it a day? Unfortunately, there’s unfinished business between the ladies to belabor…for ages.
Siggy Flicker continues her anti-Margaret Josephs campaign this week, initially refusing to accept Marge’s apology. But at least she and Teresa Giuidice share a tender moment while bonding over the loss of Tre’s mom, Antonia. Dolores Catania and Danielle Staub also try to walk the line of frenemy-ship so as to avoid lockup in Italy. While the women try not to get kicked out of eating establishments abroad, Joe Gorga has a heart to heart with his nieces back in Jersey. His message to them: Stop being Satan!
Teresa is excited that a chef will be teaching them how to make homemade pasta. She can’t say ingretientses, but she likes to see people use them in her cookbooks! Alberto, the amiable chef for hire, takes Tre, Marge, and Dolores shopping, where Marge is baffled by the process of throwing raw eggs in a paper sack. She’s disturbed on a strangely deep level about it, actually. Like, It puts the eggs in the bag or it gets the hose again! disturbed.
Meanwhile Melissa Gorga, Siggy, and Danielle go biking. Melissa is tipsy, Danielle has a sore hoo-ha, and Siggy is happy that she’s having a drama-free five minutes. “Today I’m an honorary Italian!”
At Alberto’s home, the ladies are taught to break eggs in flour, knead dough, and roll out handmade pasta without the help of any fancy machine! Tre is given the honor of chopping raw steak into tartare, and the sight of Teresa Giuidice whacking that raw meat with these massive cleavers is giving me Goodfellas vibes ALL DAY LONG. She goes to town so hardcore that wood chips are mixed throughout the tartare in the end. Oh well. More fiber for all!
At a pit stop in the park, Danielle, Melissa sip champagne and – I regret to inform you – watch Siggy cry some more. Although Danielle and Siggy are in a better place after their public meltdown, Siggy just cannot get past her issues with Margaret. Melissa defends Marge, who she doesn’t think is anti-Semitic. “To me it’s insensitive!” cries Siggy, who expects her friends to rally around her – not to defend Margaret! No one wants to dismiss Siggy’s feelings, but DAY-UM! She needs to calm down about how “deeply hurt!!!!” she is by every single perceived slight or insult.
At dinner later, everyone tries to play it cool – especially after they’re sprayed by champagne when they walk in! Tre thinks it’s funny, so everyone else plays along. Margaret is scared to say anything, lest it be twisted into a horrific statement in Siggy’s mind. Siggy does her best to ignore Marge too, but after toasts are given and sex talk is bandied about, the tension gets too unbearable. Melissa pulls Margaret aside to give her some Housewives Playbook Guidelines: Don’t hold it all inside. Perk up and pipe up! Marge would rather fake her own death or leave the country than finish dinner with Siggy. But she’s a team player, so she heads back inside with new resolve.
And hey – whaddya know? Perfect timing, because Siggy is inside talking about Hitler. Yup. She claims Hitler is a “trigger word” for her, which is a fair enough statement. Margaret really seems to take this information in, especially after Teresa admits she has her own trigger word: jail. After a beat, Marge apologizes, “I never knew that would hurt you to the core. If I’d known, I never would have said it. I’m sorry.”
Instead of responding – AT ALL – Siggy just looks down and, as if in a slow motion dramatic reenactment of the one-act play “A Siggy Scorned” just picks up her wine glass, takes a swig, and sets it back down again. The table assemblage is like….um? Are we just gonna act like that apology didn’t happen?!?! Danielle awkwardly says that she appreciates Margaret’s apology, which Tre agrees with. But Siggy still has no comment. Thus, the tension just hangs in the air like a bad fart on a hot day. The drama has officially gone from sour to full on rancid.
Back in Jersey, Joe Gorga visits his nieces, who are giving their Nonno a tough time while mom’s away. When Milania back talks him, Joe has had enough. He gathers the girls up for a Come-to-Joseph meeting. “Your mother’s going through a lot and you guys are not easy. Some days, you’re like the devil!” He wants the girls to help plan a surprise party for Tre’s upcoming birthday, and they agree. After his tough love speech, he doles out the hugs, showing what a great uncle he is yet again. I can’t help it – I have a soft spot for this guy. Help!
It’s trench coat day back in Milan! All the women are breaking into new teams of two to gallivant around the city for the day, with Teresa and Siggy finally getting a moment to bond while Dolores and Melissa get gelato and Margaret takes Danielle to a shoe factory to check out the wares for her new line. As they get ready for their outing, Danielle, Siggy, and Dolores talk about the night before. Siggy has had time to think about Margaret’s apology, and admits that it was a nice gesture. Danielle reminds Siggy that she didn’t acknowledge the apology though! Which was mega-weird. Danielle also reminds her that calling someone an anti-Semite is KIND OF A HUGE DEAL. “I’m entitled to my opinion!” defends Siggy, clearly not ready to let the accusation go.
As Margaret and Danielle travel to see shoes, Danielle talks about phone sex with her fiance, Marty, then recounts the conversation with Siggy. “She aligned me with a hate group,” Margaret reflects in her confessional. She wants an apology from Siggy, sure, but moreover she wants her to retract the defamatory statement. Something tells me she’ll get neither. At least she gets a killer tour of an Italian shoe warehouse to dull the pain! #Shoegasm (Sadly, the shoes are gorgeous, but too expensive for Macbeth’s price point.)
On the streets of Milan, Teresa takes Siggy to a special memorial to commemorate her mom. She knows Siggy felt hurt by not taking part in the memorial in Boca, and wants to share a moment with her here instead. Siggy appreciates the gesture and, in a moment that makes me remember what I loved about Siggy last season, reciprocates the kindness by comforting Tre. She says that despite having missed time with her mother while in prison, Tre might look at that year as a blessing because her girls got to bond with her mother so much. Teresa seems genuinely touched, and is also reminded of what a big heart Siggy can have – when she chooses to stop being a crazed maniac.
Teresa thinks Siggy has to get over the Margaret issue though. Enough already! She says, “You were called Soggy Flicker, but I was called an ADULTERY by Kim D!” And again, I offer a standing slow clap to the RHONJ gods who consistently serve up new Tre-isms for our snarky amusement. Teresa doesn’t understand why Siggy is so triggered by Margaret, and why she can’t accept her apology. “Can you just see that a little bit?” she prods Siggy. She says she can. But we’ll see.
Elsewhere, Dolores is telling Melissa about her new phantom boyfriend, David, who is fine with her living with Frank – and with her not contacting him for days on end! So, he’s perfect. As they sit down for gelato, they wonder how Siggy will react to Marge today? Her non-reaction from the night before was strange, although Dolores excuses it as Siggy “processing.” Melissa defends Margaret for always being the bigger person, which she is in this situation for sure. Though Dolores may not agree, it’s to her credit that she at least accepts Mel’s point of view. Wow – Good job, grown women! You agreed to disagree! (Is there a glitch in the Matrix? WTF just happened there?!?!?)
It’s the night of the Last Supper. We’re in the final ten minutes of the show now – i.e., the red zone – so I’m officially prepared for anything. After Melissa and Margaret bond over gifts and their easy friendship, they discuss Siggy. What will they walk into at dinner tonight? Let’s find out together, shall we! Ladies, grab your tire irons.
In a private room in the hotel restaurant, the ladies assemble. Siggy immediately interrupts the first toast by telling Margaret she appreciates her apology, then begins crying about the Hitler reference again. “I understand,” says Margaret calmly, “But do you genuinely feel I’m anti-Semitic?” This is the heart of the issue. Siggy says she “doesn’t want to feel” she’s anti-Semitic and says “if I hurt your feelings by saying that, I apologize.”
Margaret isn’t okay with this Housewives-pology. The double-speak of “sorry if you’re hurt!” doesn’t fly with her – not in an instance of character assassination, anyway. In the quietest, most reflective state I’ve seen her in yet, Margaret sits back a moment to process what’s happening. Then she slowly explains to Siggy that being aligned with a hate group is destructive in every sense of the word, especially considering how many Jewish people are in her life – both family and business relationships. “That’s relationship-ending, career-ending, everything that I value in my life,” says Margaret.
Suddenly pulling back on her weeks-long anti-Semitism tirade, Siggy finally admits she spoke those words in “the heat of the moment,” but she truly doesn’t believe Margaret is anti-Semitic. She does, however, believe that Margaret is “anti-Siggy.” Um, YEAH. And why wouldn’t she be at this point!? But Margaret thinks Siggy needs to swallow some of her own bullsh*t self-help/empowerment/compassion medicine and leave the rest of them the hell alone! She also thinks Siggy’s apology was more than slightly forced, probably due to the fact that Marge is coming out on top with the group. And she’d be right about that.
Well, maybe Marge’s big birthday bash will bring the ladies together back in New Jersey? Disco parties make everything better. Just ask Shannon Beador! <cringe>
