In The Profit season 7’s premiere, “Dante’s”, Marcus Lemonis visited a restaurant and did something new.
Uh-oh… Is Tamra Judge finally about to get her comeuppance on Real Housewives Of Orange County?! Let’s hope!
All it’s taken to get the other women questioning is a thirsty famewhore mom of 7 who really wants to people to see her as something other than a compulsive baby breeder. But Braunwyn Windham-Burke also wants to make-out with Tamra and date her, so… I’m confused!
The last time Tamra was legitamately called out was by Lizzie Rovsek during a cast trip to Bali. I was SO SO SO SO ready for it, but none of the other women backed Lizzie, who got booted from the show where Tamra has remained diabolical head witch in charge.
Tonight the tides are finally starting to turn. Vicki Gunvalson being demoted and Tamra being held to the fire, has me wondering if a sea change is on the horizon for Real Housewives Of Orange County, one of Bravo’s stalest franchises in recent years!
This drama comes about over Kelly Dodd. After a conversation with Tamra and Shannon Beador, Kelly initially blames Braunwyn for her becoming the topic of gossip at Vicki’s birthday party. When confronted by Kelly, Braunwyn defends herself armed with the truth about who was really talking shit! That would be Tamra!
Shannon finds herself in the middle of two friends, then gets an additional shock when she learns someone has always been harboring negative feelings against her.
Gina Kirschenheiter heads to therapy to fess up about sleeping with her ex-husband Matt. Under the harsh spotlight of a sane person Gina suddenly doesn’t feel so victorious about Matt wanting her again!
Emily Simpson sits down with horrid husband Shane and explains to him, in no uncertain terms, that something has to change about their relationship – specifically the example they’re setting for their kids by constantly fighting. Emily suggests they get couples counseling but Shane is hesitant… Of course he is because any counselor would immediately put his awful behavior under a microscope!

Well, you gotta know when to hold ‘em and know when to fold ‘em. Unfortunately, Vicki Gunvalson needs practice in the game of life. The demoted Real Housewives of Orange County star is desperate still not clear on when to leave things alone. Even Vicki’s part time status might be too much for fans at this juncture. Viewers have been patiently waiting for Vicki to provide some sort of substance to the show, which is lacking amid stupid rumors and ungodly inappropriate displays of affection.
Vicki is trying, you guys. Trying to remain relevant. But her efforts may be futile. What Vicki does succeed in is being a complete and total hypocrite. Last week, Vicki threw a lawsuit at co-star Kelly Dodd AND producers at Bravo and NBCUniversal. She alleged Kelly made comments that could negatively impact her insurance business. Someone must have told Vicki she just dug her own grave suing Big Brother won’t get her orange back. Now it looks like Jane Roe the Vickster is backing off.
Oh, Vicki. Is her lawyer Shane Simpson or something? I’m not sure who advised Vicki to bring a case against Kelly and the bigwigs, but it was not an educated decision. On November 1st, Vicki and the chip on her shoulder filed a lawsuit regarding some remarks Kelly made on a cast trip. Kelly was being Kelly and trash-talked Vicki’s insurance empire. But hey, at least Kelly didn’t call her a pig face again. Vicki was making attempts at getting these filmed scenes edited out of the show. Bless her heart.
The backlash was exquisite swift and brutal. Social media had its way with Vicki and viewers made sure the OG was introduced to both the pot and the kettle. It must have eventually occurred to Vicki that the way to get her orange back isn’t to sue the people who write the checks. According to Us Weekly, Vicki withdrew the defamation lawsuit.
A source close to production shared, “No scenes were edited out. Their confrontation will still be seen in an upcoming episode. And Vicki is planning to attend the reunion.” Yes, the streets were saying an active lawsuit would effectively end her chances of attending the RHOC reunion. The exact opposite of what Vicki wants.
Vicki was seeking an injunction on the airing of the episode and damages. It was then requested she pull her complaint against Bravo and NBCUniversal, but the charges against Kelly still stood. Maybe close friend Tamra Judge shared some words of wisdom about suing co-stars over shit-talking, because the case against Kelly has vanished into thin air. Cue Kelly doing a happy dance while pushing her mom down the stairs with a coke straw up her nose and simultaneously engaging in a sex train. That Kelly can multitask!
Hopefully, this has been a lesson for Vicki. Maybe she will finally see the error of her ways and stop taking people to task for things she is guilty of. Perhaps Vicki will resolve to be a better human being and concentrate on not spreading rumors. That’s about as likely as Tamra accepting Jesus as her homeboy or Shannon STORMS Beador speaking at a normal volume.
We don’t know what’s next for the person who had a storyline revolving around cancer scamming, but Vicki herself has said she isn’t going away until Bravo fires her. Now that Bravo knows Vicki’s legal trigger finger is itchy, we have to wonder if she will get that elusive orange back after all.

Not a lot of people are loosing sleep over the legal drama surrounding Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice and husband Joe Giudice. But there is one man in particular who is definitely not letting it bother him.
Bravo housewife wrangler, Andy Cohen, is absolving himself of any wrongdoing in the financial downfall, and subsequent incarceration, of Joe and Teresa. And I’d have to agree with him.
I think by now we know the entire backstory to Teresa and Joe’s legal issues. They pleaded guilty to fraud. They were sentenced to jail. Teresa was able to go home after her time was served. Joe was detained by ICE because he was not a citizen of the United States.
An immigration judge ruled Joe should be deported. His attorney filed an appeal which is still pending. After having his bail denied pending the appeal, Joe decided it was better to await the final decision of the appeals judge in Italy than in a cell.
Now, one has to wonder if Joe and Teresa’s nefarious acts would have ever been discovered if they hadn’t appeared on a reality show. And would the host of that show feel any guilt about it? According to People, Andy set the record straight. I dont have any guilt,” he announced on his radio show Andy Cohen Live. “This is a voluntary process,” he continued, “Putting your life and putting yourself of reality television, the risks are obvious, they are well-known, especially if you have something to hide.”
Interestingly, Andy revealed that during the development of RHONJ Joe asked if the IRS had “ever come looking for anyone doing these shows?” Which showed Joe had a concern from the very beginning. And also showed what idiots they were for wanting to continue filming.
Andy did discuss his regret for not sticking up for former housewife Caroline Manzo during a recent interview with Joe and Teresa on Watch What Happens Live. Teresa tried to cast the blame on Caroline by claiming it was Caroline who had ratted her out. I guess Teresa wants us to forget about the fact she ADMITTED to committing the crime. And that it didn’t take a genius to see Teresa and Joe were headed for disaster.
TELL US – DO YOU THINK ANDY HAS ANY REASON TO FEEL GUILTY? DO YOU THINK BRAVO HOLDS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PEOPLE THEY CAST?

When you think back to the beginnings of the Real Housewives of Orange County, many things about the show were very different than they are now. Who imagined during season 1 we would be treated in the future to intoxicated middle-aged women, bitter divorces, drug use allegations and a married mother of seven boasting about threesomes? When RHOC premiered, things seemed much more real and the cast relationships more genuine. One aspect of the show that appeared more natural in the early days were the interactions between family members.
Who can forget Briana Culberson trying–and often failing–to set boundaries with her overbearing mother Vicki Gunvalson? Or Lauri Peterson’s sad real-life struggles with her son Josh Waring? One of my favorite OC families was Jeana Keough’s brood. Her three children often back-talked, fought with each other and were sarcastic as hell. You know, like real families! Jeana’s daughter Kara Keough always seemed to have a good head on her shoulders, however. She eventually graduated from college, moved out of the OC and got married. Kara recently gave an exciting update about her family.
People reports that Kara shared some special news on her blog, The Pushover Project. Kara announced, “THE VERDICT IS IN: My new gut is not a rosé FUPA from France; it’s not a Swiss cheese fart from Switzerland, or a pasta clot from Italy. As it turns out, our little Eurotrip left our hearts, our bellies, AND my uterus quite full.”
OK–that announcment is the Kara I remember–graphic, descriptive and not afraid to call it like she sees it. And it makes me not ever want to drink wine, have Swiss cheese or eat pasta again. But, it is still great news!
Kara became engaged to former NFL linebacker Kyle Bosworth in 2012 and they married in 2014. The couple announced they were expecting their first child in August of 2015 and their daughter Decker Kate was born in early 2016.
“I intentionally waited for the right time to bring you into our family for a reason, I just had no idea my reason would be this freaking excited,” Kara went on to say. “It’s really damn cool. We love you like crazy already, baby. April 2nd, 2020 can’t come soon enough.”
Adding a new baby to a family brings big changes, of course. Kara said Decker is “so excited” to meet her new sibling and wants to “fiercely protect you, and lead you.”
Kara shared, “She [Decker] has your crib made up with a soft blanket and her favorite bunny ‘Bun-Bun.’ She’s personally tested every single one of her old pacifiers to make sure they’ve met all quality control standards for your arrival.” Kara added, “She’s pushing the stroller around the house in preparation for her role as your best friend in the entire universe.” Awe–that is very sweet. And I am not even the sentimental type.
Apparently Decker is more than ready to help out with the new baby. Kara explained, “She has graciously offered to change your diapers and give you baths and she’s very excited to find out if ‘Jesus picked a baby brother or a baby sister for us.’”
Congratulations to the Bosworth family on their exciting news. I bet grandma Jeana is thrilled to know she will have a new grandchild arriving in the spring.

While we wait for an official announcement about Southern Charm’s return, viewers are still recovering from Shep Rose the multitude of drama the stars gave us in Season 6. Not only were we tortured by the reappearance of Ashley Jacobs, fans were also introduced to recent college graduate, Eliza Limehouse. We can blame Eliza for bringing Ashley back, but it’s safe to say Thomas Ravenel’s ex wasn’t the one who brought class and sophistication to the show.
We can save that honor for Madison LeCroy. As Patricia Altschul’s hair stylist, Madison could also call herself Austen Kroll’s girlfriend. Because unemployed men with zero ambition and friends like Shep are a hot commodity in Charleston! Austen tested Madison’s boundaries when he was busted having a threesome. Madison tested Austen’s nerves when she wouldn’t take any of Shep’s misogynist garbage. By the time the cast reunited for the reunion, Austen and Madison were sadly no more. Well, now that filming is about to start the holidays are approaching, we might have been given an early gift. Love is in the air! Sorry single gals and guys, it looks like Austen might be off the market again.
How do you recover from catching your significant other in his undies with two ladies of the evening? Duh, Madison got her friend to message someone else’s man on the down low to see if he would take the bait. The funny thing is, apparently these are grown people problems. Throw in a best friend trashing the relationship and talking smack about your ex-girlfriend and you can see Austen is clearly worth fighting for. Madison is definitely a fighter, but don’t tell her any secrets because she has no qualms about taking you there when she’s in a corner.
Looks like all of that fighting must have paid off for Mads. According to some Instagram posts, they are hooking up again the relationship is back on. While celebrating Halloween, Madison and Austen went all out on a couple’s costume. The beer maker transformed into, wait for it, President John F. Kennedy. But if you thought Madison donned a brunette wig and Chanel suit to strut beside JFK as Jacqueline Kennedy, you would be sadly mistaken.
Madison went a different route and sauced it up as Marilyn Monroe. I have to say, she looked pretty good. Interesting choice for Austen and Madison, at least we weren’t exposed to a boring slutty pirate or Austen in anything revealing. Madison captioned her post with, “Happy Birthday Mr. President”. Awww, isn’t it nice to celebrate wholesome scenarios from history’s past? Austen shared his own snaps with the words, “If not us, who? If not now, when? -JFK” Wow, Austen must be so grateful for Google!
Now we can all rest easy knowing one of the more stable, non-toxic relationships on reality television appears to be back on. Hallelujah! Let’s just hope no one is lurking in the corner waiting to sabotage this gentle union. Congrats to Austen and Madison for hopping on the love train once again. Just in time for the new season.
TELL US- DO MADISON AND AUSTEN MAKE A GOOD COUPLE? SHOULD THEY STAY BROKEN UP? DO YOU WANT SOUTHERN CHARM TO COME BACK?

In beautiful sunny Thailand there is no paradise aboard Valor as the crew of Below Deck fractures at the seams under the misguidance of Ashton Pienaar.
To be fair I don’t know if it’s Ashton being in over his head from a leadership perspective, or like many a bosun before him, culled by the crazy of a green deckhand. Or a redhead. In this case the double-whammy!
Abbi Murphy has essentially decided that leadership and pecking order be damned – she does what she wants! Like getting so wasted she spends the morning vomiting and misses her clock-in time on deck. Abbi thinks working on Valor, for Captain Lee Rosbach, is like being the tortilla chip flipper at Chipotle. You know – it’s totes fine to text your boss half an hour before your shift starts to let them know that you were like partying soooo hard the night before that your mascara is still smeared all over your morning after dress and mixing with tears from vomiting for 2 hours straight. Hotttt!
I wonder what Captain Lee would say if he saw Abbi’s text? I mean, just ask Kevin Dobson what it’s like to be under the laser beam glare of a man whose actual face is the vibranium Iron Man mask.
It really doesn’t matter because Ashton lets Abbi get away with it. He doesn’t even bang on the door of her cabin. He just lets her sleep while making passive-aggressive comments. Kate Chastain knows this will end badly, but for now she’s relishing having a wonderful, charming crew of stews under her tutelage, which leaves her the ability to put all her hate and rage in a basked labeled “Kevin,” which doubles as a laundry basket filled with sweaty briefs.
Simone Mashile has thus far been spared from Kevin’s continued rages by being literally tethered to the laundry. Hopefully, she doesn’t accidentally wash herself when she becomes fused to the piles of dress whites in an iron mishap. Simone has been trapped in the laundry cave so long she’s Vitamin D deficient and despondent so Kate finally sends her above ground to learn some service. Simone is so sweet, but girl has a waaaaaaays to go! This episode’s struggle included how to pour beer into a glass. Didn’t she go to college?!
After the preference sheet meeting, Kevin has a quick heart-to-heart with Captain Lee, who has no intention of putting the past behind them. Instead, he has every intention of making Kevin queef in his shorts at the mere thought of forgetting his dinner portion. Captain Lee probably had a job as a CIA operative in a past life because he deploys the type of psychological warfare any seasoned Real Housewife would envy when he tells Kevin that his food has been only so-so, and his plating could really use work.
Oh, also Captain Lee will be joining the guests for dinner the second night, and he expects food befitting of a super yacht chef otherwise Kevin will be walking the plank and hoping some other boat fishes him out of the sea to serve him for supper.
Kevin decides to start his WOW Campaign with a 10 course tasting meal to be served as the guests’ first dinner. These guests don’t take much to be impressed, but Captain Lee is not a 40-something single woman who hasn’t been laid in months (their words, not mine!). Charter 3 is helmed by Dr. McCall who is “obsessed” with chartering boats and drinking enough on them to create her own [wo]man-made water source.
Basically this all-female charter will be about booze. And once they get enough booze in them they will be sexually harassing the male deckhands. Ashton and Brian de Saint Per, gird your loins! Literally. Even Captain Lee seems a little unnerved by this group and he just survived Handsy-Hellen.
Kate, meanwhile, is excited. An all-girl charter group means they party all day, go to sleep early, and it’s like a big drunk sleepover. She is not wrong.
These guests are all right, but everything else is falling down around them. Tanner Sterback takes ill with some strange inexplicable Thai illness. Out of the blue he’s puking everywhere and feverish. Is it the vodka? Or a tropical flu? Or exposure to breathing in Abbi’s body bronzer? Meanwhile Abbi is just in a constant state of sluggish malaise. She resents authority and having to listen to Ashton, but more than that she resents the amount of work required on Valor. Especially all the blowing up and deflating. In her distraction she still can’t remember to turn on the radio or answer the calls.
Of course the other big distraction is that Abbi is now engaged. Over text. Congratulations? Patrick, her former sailboat captain turned “fuck-buddy boyfriend,” was like ‘I love you because distance makes the heart grow fonder. Wanna get married?’ And Abbi responded all ‘OMFG OF COURSE. Now I have a reason to leave this boat. And if we get divorced that’s OK too! Cause we only got tattoos of each others faces on our private parts not like anything serious!’
Courtney Skippon does not understand how any woman could possibly accept a ring-less proposal? What will you hock once this engagement imminently goes south? How else will you know your worth in his eyes if not represented in number of karats? Also the ring is basically the whole point of being engaged. But Abbi has rings, you guys, they’re the black eyeliner suffocating her eyeballs. Seriously – she was on death’s door and revived to apply eyeliner and body-bronzer. Girl…I can see that you do not struggle with commitment. Work, though, that’s another story!
The next morning, Abbi waltzes into the deck crew meeting with her big announcement. No one seems to care except Ashton who’s confused about why she was cuddling him on the bunny pad last week. Instead of crossing Abbi off his list of potential conquests, Ashton moves her up a notch, above Courtney, to Number 1 priority.
All the dramz with Abbi has me completely ignoring Kevin as he runs ragged in the kitchen preparing 32,000 things for the women, who in his mind, are all wearing a mask of Captain Lee‘s face. To add to the pressure, actual Captain Lee keeps wandering down to the kitchen to check on Kevin’s progress. Kevin declares to his sister in a phone call that if he doesn’t start getting some appreciation around here for being the hardest worker on Valor he’s going to be quitting, but alas, Captain Lee has decided if Kevin doesn’t start working harder he’s going to be fired. We’re at an impasse and the only way to fix it is with gelatinized bloody mary balls and a strip tease from your bosun!
After ten magical courses of food, the women are ready for a serious dessert so course number 11 is a shirtless Ashton giving a lap dance lesson on one especially horny guest. Courtney is traumatized. She is so thankful that Brian restricts exposing himself to his instagram feed while in real life is a nice boy who helps with dishes when she commands him too. And Brian is so whipped he might as well be course number 12 on Kevin’s tasting menu!
While Brian is ‘helping’ Courtney he neglects his deck duties and gets a furious radio call from Ashton demanding to know why the aft hasn’t been mopped. Brian and Ashton erupt into an argument about his work ethic and priorities. Brian rightly thinks Ashton is just pissed about Abbi getting engaged, and every hour since her textposal she’s grown lazier and more disconnected from the job.
The next morning Ashton has the decency to apologize to Brian for losing his temper and explains that he’s just noticed details not getting done. Ashton also recognizes what a hard worker Brian is. In a truly adult exchange Brian also apologizes for not communicating better with Ashton. Ashton also admits he’s feeling frazzled with Tanner being ill and with Abbi being well, a few hair ties short of a ponytail.
Pretty much all Abbi is doing is loafing about eating, laughing with the guests, and staring at her phone. She blames her non-stop eating on depression over hating her job and apparently the stress of not knowing what to do about this. While she’s standing there complaining like a petulant child about having to like do stuff she doesn’t like, Tanner is trying not to ralph. He’s glazed over and sweaty; and looking pale and clammy. Yet Tanner can still figure out the order of outfit changes and how to pull on a polo shirt. And he can STILL get his job done without complaining. It’s because he’s not engaged. That’s the only reason.
I think a Thai doctor might make things worse for Tanner not better, or else I’d recommend Captain Lee call one. And clearly Captain Lee is looking for my recommendations on things! In fact Tanner even manages to pull himself together to take the guests out on jet skis with Ashton. Abbi and Brian are left to deal with the slide, but Abbi is staring off into space and not taking direction when Brian tells her to pull down on some cording thing, until he finally snaps at her for not focusing on her job.
Abbi pretends she needs to get her shoes and runs inside where Simone is chained to the laundry, folding things. Abbi bursts into tears and admits she’s ready to quit because she hates the job so much.
Look I get it – this job with its constant physical demands and long hours is not for everyone. Furthermore Abbi can’t work a radio even with several tutorials, so she’s probably making the right decision to sail off into the sunset of delusion.
TELL US – IS ABBI PULLING HER WEIGHT? IS ASHTON JEALOUS OF HER ENGAGEMENT? DO YOU THINK KEVIN’S MEAL WAS IMPRESSIVE?
