Things sure are heating up in Bachelor land. Tonight's episode began with six final ladies and ended with four, all of whom must introduce their pilot boyfriend to their families in...The editing and filming of Food Network’s latest baking championship is incredibly clunky and atypically amateurish.
Last week we met the cast of Bravo’s newest show Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Of course, Below Deck Mediterranean fans remembered Adam Glick from his two seasons as the chef. Other than that, we met a whole new crew.
Captain Glenn Shephard, Ciara Duggan, and Paget Berry lived on the boat during the off-season. And, let’s just say they didn’t stay on top of the maintenance. The new crew had a lot to do before their first charter. Not only that, but they realized mid-charter that there were zero steak knives on the boat. How did Glenn, Ciara, and Paget eat without knives for months? So much for a luxury experience for the guests. Hopefully, they’ll be too drunk to notice the lack of cutlery.

After a drama-filled charter season, the Below Deck Season 7 cast gathered in New York City to hash out their problems during an Andy Cohen-hosted reunion, which airs tonight.
As expected, it’s gonna be a battle of the sexes, for the most part. But, there’s also some lingering tension between Chief Stew Kate Chastain and Simone Mashile, who is still questioning Kate’s management style even though she can’t open a bottle of wine.
The drama gets so intense that Captain Lee Rosbach actually walks off the set to get a moment to himself.
In other news, Rhylee Gerber ends up calling Tanner Sterback’s mother an “idiot,” which is not gonna go over well. But, that’s Rhylee for you, just when you are on her side, she takes two steps backaward.
Also, in case anyone was wondering short-lived deckhand Abbi Murphy is at the reunion. And in case you are scratching your head since the beginning of Season 7 feels like it was eighty-four years ago, Abbi is the deckhand who got engaged via text message and left the charter season.
I’m sure that Captain Lee, Kate, and Rhylee will come out swinging to put that boys club of Tanner, Ashton Pienaar, Brian de Saint Pern, and Kevin Dobson in their place. There is no love lost among these crew members. A lot of these people genuinely cannot stand each other and I’m excited to watch them come face to face after watching all the episodes from this season.

This is one way to get attention for your new show. E! News has your exclusive first look at the new key art for Netflix's I Am Not Okay With This and it's bloody good. The new...
Last night’s Real Housewives Of Atlanta should’ve won an award for worst relationships in a reality TV format. From Kenya Moore berating Tanya Sam and calling her the “C word” (over a wig!), to Mama Joyce deciding she’d rather trust an infant with her affairs than her son-in-law if Kandi Burruss dies, to Cynthia Bailey‘s finance admitting in front of his teenaged daughter that he never loved her mother… It just went on and on. The only person who escaped unscathed was Eva Marcille. But, she’s pregnant so that’s more than enough to deal with!
It’s been so long since Real Housewives Of Atlanta has aired that I legitimately forgot about Kenya fighting with Tanya over a wig reveal. This started when Kenya intimated that Tanya’s fiancé was cheating with some woman who owns a cookie shop in the same building as Cynthia’s new wine cellar.
To refresh: in Toronto, Kenya spent an entire dinner beating around the bush that somebody’s man was cheating, and even pointblank asked Tanya if she’d want to know if her fiance cheated. Of course, Kenya never gave any details about who she was referring to, but Cynthia and Kandi knew it was in reference to cookie lady claiming Paul Judge hit on her at a bar one night.
Frankly, the entire cookie lady nonsense seemed like just that – nonsense, to give Kenya a storyline other than her own allegedly cheating husband, and an opportunity for cookie lady to promote her business on TV.
Fast forward to Atlanta, Kenya asked Tanya to bring her something she left at the hotel. Given the whole potential problem of being detained by customs, Tanya opened the box and found a wig! BUT… Kenya’s hair is ALL. REAL. In retaliation for the accusations about Paul, Tanya told all the other women about the wig.
Being that she is friends with both Kenya and Tanya, Cynthia decided she had to fix the situation. She told Tanya that Kenya was implying Paul cheated. Then Cynthia went to Kenya to inform her that Tanya revealed her wiggy ways.
Now, Kenya is furious that Tanya is trying to discredit her business by accusing her of lying about her hair. So Cynthia brings them both together, in a restaurant for lunch, where she blithely assumes Tanya will apologize for her wig “joke” and let Kenya get away with trying to destroy her relationship.
Then Kenya waltzed into this lunch acting like Nene Leakes: refusing to look at Tanya or even speak to her, and declaring that she’s going to read her for Tanya daring to insult there wig collection and ruin the very thing that puts food in Brooklyn’s mouth.
This is utterly ridiculous! Kenya started all this mess, for no reason whatsoever. Now, she wants to pretend like she’s the victim of a woman whose blaming her for her fiancé’s actions.
Over lunch, Kenya threw a big old tantrum. She looked like a giant asshole spitting venomous insults and resorting to crude name-calling. It was obvious Kenya was defensive because Tanya exposed her. Tanya even mentions that for someone so sensitive about her business endeavors, she sure didn’t feel so compassionate when she showed up to Marlo Hampton‘s wig launch with a marching band and her own products!
Kenya had no response to that, or any of Tanya’s legitimate questions and logic, so she just tries to blame the whole cookie lady thing on Cynthia. Kenya claims Cynthia tried to befriend cookie lady and invited her to the wine cellar launch to could confront Tanya. Cynthia denied it, of course.
I don’t know why Tanya didn’t stand up and walk out on this trashy behavior. Instead, she calmly indicated to Cynthia to look at what a shitty friend Kenya is to her, and let Kenya hang herself out to dry.
Of course, Kenya proved there’s no low she won’t sink to because in waltzed cookie lady, aka Shaina, holding a box of hot and ready chocolate chip. Shaina says Paul followed her into a bar bathroom. Then he told her he was single and worked in real estate. Shaina gave him her card, then he lost interest.
Also, Shaina keeps calling Tanya “honey” and “darling” in that way that insecure women do to try and make themselves appear above others. When she’s not getting the reaction she expects, Shaina insults Tanya’s looks. So, it turns out Shaina and Kenya deserve to be friends!
Cynthia runs out of the restaurant, hiding behind a to-go box of tacos, so she can fly to LA to visit Mike Hill; leaving Tanya and Eva alone with the leftover cookies. Tanya feels Paul was vindicated. Kenya feels she was vindicated. Eva is feeling like Shaina is full of shit, but her cookies are delicious. Seriously Shaina needs some milk to go with those cookies because girl is trying to milk her 15 minutes of thirst.
That was a mess.
Speaking of messes, Marc Daly is in Atlanta to throw some charity event about raising strong black men. Are we sure Marc is really the right example? Mike Hill is going to be his co-host for this event, which will consist of 100 people crammed inside the Bailey Wine Cellar where no food is allowed to be served near the bathrooms, even though the room is way too small to accommodate that many without putting tables near the bathroom entrance.
Any time Kenya tries to offer any insight, Marc cuts her off as if she isn’t even speaking. Marc essentially treats Kenya like the paid assistant he sexually harasses, and she appears fine with this. There is a reason Kenya is coming for Tanya’s relationship: she knows Paul respects Tanya, and treats her like his equal partner.
Also a mess: Porsha Williams and Dennis McKinley. Porsha and Dennis are much over-due for a therapy session since she said re-yes. I want to believe in these two, but Dennis just does not seem sincere. For instance he tells the therapist he’s tired of being the one expected to do all the work and put up with all Porsha’s nagging about his wherabouts and behaviors. Um, he’s the one who cheated!
Porsha also doesn’t seem to be feeling Dennis‘ remorse, because she admits that she cannot be intimate with Dennis. During the day, they act like everything is fine, but at night in, alone in their room, her feelings of suspicions return and she questions their relationship and him.
Even though it seemed as if Mama Joyce had finally accepted Todd Tucker as her son-in-law, that was just a farce. As soon as the Real Housewives Of Atlanta cameras turned off last season she resumed her hatred of him. This time Mama Joyce has decided to make Riley the beneficiary of her will because she doesn’t trust Todd to take care of Riley and support her, or her siblings, if Kandi dies. Well, considering how Todd treats Kayla, Mama Joyce may not be wrong!
Mama Joyce also took Kandi off the deed of her house. Her reason is that if something happens to Kandi, Mama Joyce doesn’t want to be forced to deal with Todd to fight for her possessions. Kandi is upset, but Todd seems resigned. He doesn’t want to have to deal with her either… but he does want to continue using Mama Joyce’s name and image to make money at OLG Gang!
However I’ve also given up on Kandi putting her foot down on Mama Joyce‘s outrageous messiness. Also how pleasant planning for her daughter’s death!
In LA Cynthia’s vision of a one big happy blended family with Mike is starting to fall apart. Mike’s youngest daughter Kayla is 17, and still lives with him while she attends UCLA (or prepares to go there, I can’t remember).
The unfortunate thing about a long-distance relationship is that Cynthia has little exposure to Mike’s day-to-day. And, it turns out she knows a lot less about him than she thought! Like all of Mike’s friends are women! Almost every. single. one.
And in the course of Mike hosting a room full of beautiful women for dinner, and regaling them all with stories about his life pre-Cynthia, he reveals that he cheated on both his ex-wives, and has never been in love before he met Fifty-One Cyn. That includes his two ex-wives, and the mothers of his daughter. Mike shares this revelation right in front of Kayla. She runs out of the room in tears because she’s so upset.
I think Mike just loves being the center of attention. Apparently he’s found Jesus (and Cynthia) and is a reformed man, who just wrote a tell-all book about his life, but his daughters do not need to hear the gory details about how their mothers meant so little to him.
TELL US – DID KENYA OVER-REACT TO TANYA’S WIG STUNT? DO YOU THINK PORSHA SHOULD TRUST DENNIS AGAIN?

The stars walking the 2020 red carpet got an extra dose of excitement from none other than Jerry Harris from Cheer. The breakout star of the Netflix docu-series about the Navarro College cheer...
No, it’s not 2005 again, but these early reality TV shows are all premiering this week, from Survivor’s 40th season, Winners at War, to the return of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Last night’s episode of 90 Day Fiance wrapped up some loose ends and then unraveled a few others. I still have so many more questions. I can’t wait until the Tell All to fill in some of the missing pieces. Only time will tell if some of these couples have made the biggest mistakes of their lives. I told many of them to RUN, did anyone take my advice?
Several of the couples are out of time and must decide if they want to bite the bullet and get married. Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi have another setback. Mike‘s call to Natalie leaves some unanswered questions. Michael Jessen talks to his ex-wife, Sarah, about his prenup decision. Let’s get straight into the 90 Day Fiance recap!
Anna Campisi is racing against the clock to pick up Mursel Mistanoglu from the airport and make it to their wedding in a few hours. If anything doesn’t go as planned they risk not making their midnight deadline to get married. You may remember, Mursel was given a second chance to meet the stipulations of his K-1 Visa after deciding to return home to Turkey.
Anna is freaking out now that she only has two hours until her ceremony. Nothing has been done to set up before her guests arrive. Luckily, a few friends and family help, while she attempts to get ready for her special day. Clearly she picked the wrong friend to help her with her hair. The entire back of her head was a frizzy mess before she even walked outside.
Mursel requests to see Anna before the ceremony to follow the Turkish tradition to tie a red ribbon around her waist. In a sweet moment, her youngest son asks if he can walk her down the aisle. This small gesture made Anna happy, given her oldest son, Gino, refused to even attend the wedding. Talk about awkward. So Gino is just going to sit across the dinner table and ignore his new step-dad?
Hopefully, Anna and Mursel attempt to learn the same language at some point now that they are married. I could barely deal with all the crying and Google translation conversations all season.
With only two weeks until the wedding, Syngin Colchester is still devastated that Tania Maduro doesn’t consider him a “soul mate.” When he speaks to her about his concerns, he is nearly in tears as he describes how her comments hurt him. Tania claims she isn’t really sure what “soul mates” mean but she believes in their love. Chile, please! Tania, don’t back track now, she knew exactly what she was saying. Despite his apprehension, Syngin still wants to get married, for some reason.
It’s Tania and Syngin’s wedding day and they are literally setting up everything themselves. If this is a backyard wedding, why the heck didn’t they do most of the work in advance? Guests are arriving as the bride and groom are still trying to unload tables and chairs. SMH… They finally finish in the nick of time, at the expense of actually taking a shower after all that manual labor.
I’m sorry, but if that was me, the wedding would have to start late. There is no way I wouldn’t have at least taken a quick shower. Surprisingly, despite its start, everything came together nicely for this evening wedding.
Syngin’s parents stayed up late in South Africa to attend via Skype. Instead of rings, they chose to get matching tattoos on their wedding finger. I really hope Syngin didn’t make a bad decision and mess up his family’s streak of no divorces in 500 years.
Jasmin and Blake’s wedding day has finally arrived. She looks more like she is going to the club rather than her wedding. I’m still not sure why Blake decided to get married against the advice of his family and friends.
Nonetheless, I thought it was nice that people came to support their decision. Blake cries as he says his vows and Jasmin, per usual, has no real emotion. I know it was killing Jasmin to be in the company of other people outside of her family for that length of time.
Anny is excited for her wedding to Robert. After all the disrespect she has experienced from him and others in his life, I’m surprised she still wants to get married. Robert is so nervous that he contemplates turning around on his way to the ceremony. If anyone should be running, it’s Anny.
Anny looks beautiful in her dress and is escorted to the chapel by her handsome step-son to be, Bryson. In a shocking moment, when asked if someone objects, Robert says “I can’t do this right now.”
As I sit on the edge of my seat, Robert drops to one knee and places a ring on her finger and says “without doing this first”. Whew, Anny looked like she was scared that she was about to be left at the altar.
Mike calls Natalie to discuss their relationship after his disastrous trip. Natalie doesn’t seem to want to be bothered with him. She completely defends her weird behavior. She doesn’t seem to comprehend why Mike would be upset that she told 90 Day Fiance producers she didn’t love him.
To add insult to injury, she also tells him he “needs to be more strong and responsible.” She even alludes to trust issues between them. Did I miss something? Mike gets so upset he ends the call early and storms off camera. I have a feeling there is a lot that we aren’t aware of that has happened behind the scenes.
Angela and Michael go see a registrant to discuss the marital process and its requirements in Nigeria. She is shocked to find out that their marriage requires a witness from the U.S in order for it to be deemed valid. She doesn’t know anyone who can afford to take a trip to Africa. Meanwhile, I’m still wondering how she can afford it.
Angela’s trip is coming to an end and she is returning to the U.S. with a heavy heart. At the airport, Michael presents his fiancé with matching gold chains that have each other’s name on them. I can see the glee in Angela’s eyes knowing that her man will now wear her name around his neck. She gets on the plane reinvigorated to continue to fight for Michael to live in America.
When Michael drops off his kids, he and his ex-wife Sarah talk about his wedding to Juliana Custodio. Very quickly the conversation takes a turn when she inquires about a prenuptial agreement. Michael reveals he decided not to get one because it was putting a “dark cloud” over their relationship. Insert eye roll emoji. This woman is way too involved in her ex-husband’s business. I understand protecting her children, but I feel she often oversteps her boundaries.
Who else can’t wait until the Tell All? The preview is explosive, to say the least. I will be tuning in with all my snacks for the tea! Tune in next Sunday for updates and revelations on all of the couples.
TELL US- WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT MURSEL AND ANNA’S RUSHED WEDDING? ARE MIKE AND NATALIE HIDING SOMETHING? DO YOU THINK BLAKE MADE A MISTAKE MARRYING JASMIN? DID SYNGIN POTENTIALLY RUIN HIS FAMILY’S NO DIVORCE STREAK?

The post 90 Day Fiance Recap: Can I Get A Witness appeared first on Reality Tea.
I was SOOOOO sick last week. FULL DYING. My sincerest apologies for not giving you a Life After Lockup recap. However, this week we are back, and the show is just as good as ever. The drama! Michael Simmons is talking to so many women, I don’t know how he can keep it straight. Sarah Simmons and Megan J are far from the only women in his revolving door of trysts. In addition to them, for SOME reason Angela keeps taking back Tony. Ugh. Just stop.
Brittany Santiago has been through the ringer with her mother, and the stress is high. She and Marcelino Santiago are having a baby, but her past might be a bump in the road. The biggest WTF out of this group right now is Andrea Edwards and Lamar Jackson’s marriage. They aren’t happy at all. They have nothing in common. Why are they still a thing? I have a feeling her trying to convert him isn’t going to go well at all.
Andrea and Lamar are the two most awkward people ever in a sex shop. I’m just as surprised as Lamar that Utah has stores like that. I never realized Andrea got so freaky, but I’m here for it. Anything that makes these two a little more interesting is a win.
She wants him to win her back, so now we get a whole game between them this season. Either they’re going to work or they aren’t. I don’t know why these two are always dragging this out.
Lamar is making somewhat of an effort because he’s been in Utah for a week. That’s a week longer than I would ever give Andrea or Utah. It sounds like pure torture.
Andrea wants him to be full Mormon, so she arranges a church meeting while he’s visiting. Here we go. He’s never going to convert. He doesn’t want to live that life. Forcing him to do so is never going to work.
Andrea goes on a long rant about how she was healed by the Book of Mormon, but that’s HER. It’s great that it worked for her. That doesn’t mean it’s something that speaks to Lamar. Nobody is understanding that or respecting his feelings. Everyone wants to shove this lifestyle down his throat. There’s nothing wrong with what they do and how they live. However, you shouldn’t have to force someone.
The woman doing the scripture study ends up in tears thinking she offended Lamar. Someone needs a little thicker skin. Seriously though! Why is she so upset?
I’m disappointed in Angela that Tony is still around. I wish she’d cut him loose and find someone who actually cares about her. Tony has been a user and a con artist from the beginning, and she won’t see it.
Tony questioning Angela about her plans and when she’ll be home from a gathering is hilarious. She doesn’t owe you anything buddy. You’ve done her so dirty for so long. She deserves time to enjoy herself and do whatever damn well pleases.
All of her friends think she’s foolish for staying with him. It’s crazy that Angela has to have a tracker on Tony’s phone. That speaks volumes about the status of their relationship. There’s no trust.
Angela’s sister comes up with a plan to upset Tony, but Angela is heading home instead. That’s a shame. Giving Tony a taste of his own medicine would be the sweetest revenge.
Angela calls Tony saying she’s going to stay with her sister, but she’s really spying on him. She’s so devious and extra, and I love it. I would not want to f**k with her EVER. Period. She is THAT bitch.
I can’t believe Josh’s mom put her hands on Cheryl. Well, that’s what Cheryl’s claiming at least. The situation between these two is so toxic. Josh has no idea who to believe, and I don’t blame him. These two are constantly at each other’s throats, so anything is possible.
How do none of these people recognize that this is a negative environment for children? I’m not surprised at all that this is going down. What I don’t like though is Cheryl very clearly trying to ruin his relationship with his mother. That’s not okay at all. She’s just a little too unstable and unpredictable for my liking.
Clint Brady’s feeling lost without Tracie Wagaman, but none of this should surprise him. There was a pattern of behavior like this in his relationship. He will never give up on her which may lead to a life of disappointment.
Clint is going to bond Tracie out of jail, and his mother is totally against it. She was already against this marriage, so this is the icing on top. His mom tries to reason with him, but he’s determined to get her out of jail. I just want to hear from Tracie and learn what her next move is. Will she get help? Can she stay clean? I sure hope so.
Clint is willing to throw away his relationship with his parent’s for Tracie. I’m not sure that’s the best call here. Tracie is excited to be home, but there is a long road ahead of her. This situation is far from over. I understand that he loves his goddess, but enough is enough.
It cost Clint $5,000 to get her out of jail. I pray she shows up to court and doesn’t screw this man over. Tracie is looking at major hard time from these charges. Their marriage will never stable. Tracie wants to get help. That’s what she claims at least. Only time will tell if this wake up call is legitimate or not.
Brittany wants to locate the children she gave up when she was a teenager. She has a lot going on right now, so I’m not sure this is the best idea. Between the new baby, her mom’s issues, and their money problems, the added stress could be bad.
Her parental rights were terminated by the state, so this will be a difficult journey. I really like these two, so I’m hoping for the best. This process could take years, but Brittany seems determined. Marcelino is making this all about money, but you can’t put a price on this kind of thing. She wants to reconnect with the kids she was forced to give up. This is a really big deal.
Megan links up with her friend, and she’s MAD. She hasn’t heard from Michael in weeks since he admitted he talked to other women. It’s good that he’s finally being honest with her. However, this man will NEVER change, and she should take this opportunity to exit.
Michael is basically ghosting her, and this is a blessing in disguise. She could do so much better. Sarah can do better as well. Nobody deserves to spend their time pining after someone like him.
Michael is coming to visit his daughters, and he’s bringing his girlfriend Maria. Who? This man is a complete and total joke. How does Maria feel about being third place? Michael likes her because she’s down for a threesome so he doesn’t have to cheat.
Maria doesn’t want to lose communication with Michael at all. She wants the details of his every move. She’s really strange to be honest. She even sees that she and Michael are emotionally married. Okay then.
Who brings there random girlfriend to visit their children they barely see? Michael is just THE WORST. Michael’s oldest daughter has THE WORST reaction ever to seeing him. Absolutely heartbreaking. She’s worried he’s going to take her away from Sarah.
This is so raw and so real, and Michael is to blame for this. He’s never around. He cares more about screwing random women than his own kids. She says she’s “getting used to him”. How horrible is it that she has to say that about her own father? Just wow. No words can express sad that is.
She asks to have her grandmother pick her up, so now Sarah and Michael can have a serious conversation face to face. He wants to have the girls which is such a ballsy move. Sarah explodes after finding out Michael has another woman staying in the hotel. The drama between these two is far from over.
TELL US – SHOULD SARAH LET MICHAEL TAKE THE GIRLS? WILL ANGELA EVER LEARN AND CUT TONY LOOSE? ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS SEASON OF LIE AFTER LOCKUP?

It's the wedding time on 90 Day Fiancé. The final proper episode of season seven aired on Sunday, Feb. 9 with SO many weddings. But not every couple made it down the aisle this...
