Below Deck Sailing Yacht is back tonight for an all-new episode. Parsifal crashes into a dock, which means that Paget Berry has to pick up the slack and get the deck crew into gear.
Tonight’s episode also brings some new charter guests. The crew will be subjected to a group of bros from Long Island. This means will be subject to a lot of overindulgences, chest-bumping, fist-pumping, and just some all-around “bro” behavior. Oh, an, of course, some incessant demands for the Parsifal crew.
Chef Adam Glick kicks it into high gear to cook some meals up to the bros’ standards. And aside from cooking up some food, he also has that situation with the chief stew Jenna MacGillivray. She seems super into him, but is he feeling her on that level? Or will this attempt at romance only last for a charter season?
A charter guest crosses the line with Madison Stalker.

Nowadays, there are 13,000 cast members on Vanderpump Rules, but the OG drama will always hold a special place in my heart. Remember the simple days when Stassi Schroeder had it out for Scheana Marie for putting sunscreen on Jax Taylor? Truly iconic.
Now, Vanderpump Rules and reality TV at large has evolved into such a major platform. Are you even a reality TV star if you aren’t hawking subscription boxes and teeth whitener on Instgram? Are you even an influencer if you don’t have a podcast? Not these days. Both Stassi and Scheana have podcasts. Stassi did it first, but at this point, pretty much everyone on reality TV has one.
Scheana was very candid about her career goals during a recent episode of Summer House star Hannah Berner’s podcast Berning In Hell. Hannah asked Scheana, “Who are you envious of?”
Scheana initially used this as an opportunity to plug her own podcast when she remarked, “We talked about this a little bit on my podcast, but Stassi.”
Then, she elaborated, “And I love her and I’m so proud of her. I just texted her the other day congrats on buying her house. I had a diet Dr. Pepper in my hand was like ‘cheers to you.’ But, it’s like, it’s not a jealousy thing. I’m envious of, she has the career that I always wanted and I’m still working to get. She’s just a couple steps ahead of me.”
Hannah asked, “Did you think she was capable of this?” Scheana answered, “”I think we’re all capable of it. I really do. I think she just did it quicker.”
Then, Scheana threw herself under the bus. Scheana explained, “I think her priorities were more work and mine, honestly, were more dating for a while. That was kind of my focus. And I was doing so well with the show financially that I’m like ‘Well, I’m good. Now, I just need to find my forever.’ Now, that more seasons have passed, [I realized] this isn’t gonna go on forever. Now, seeing how she’s built her career, as much as I’m envious of it, it’s so motivating for me. If you can do it, I can do it.”
And then, Scheana took a dig at Stassi because, well, it can’t all be positive, right? Scheana said, “If Stassi can find love, I can find love. She’s the only girl on the show who’s dated guys worse than me.” That’s a contest no one wants to be a part of.
Scheana remarked, “So, it’s like I genuinely look up to her. She’s just set the mood, we’re seeing that this works. People want to read books from the Vanderpump girls. People want to go to a live show. It makes me happy to see that she’s doing so well.”
The former Mrs. Shay concluded, “I don’t want to say that I’m envious and jealous in a negative way. It’s pushing me to do what I want to do.”
TELL US- WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT SCHEANA ADMITTING HER JEALOUSY OVER STASSI’S CAREER? WHO HAS DATED WORSE GUYS- STASSI OR SCHEANA? WOULD YOU WANT TO ATTEND IF SCHEANA DID A PODCAST TOUR?

90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days is off and running for another season of global love seeking. From an Angela Deem and Michaal Ilesanmi-like romance between Lisa and much younger Nigerian rapper Usman to the ubiquitous return of Darcey Silva, TLC is delivering train wreck relationship realness once again. And we love it.
On the surface, Geoffrey Paschel would seem to be an exception to the so outrageous, you can’t look away 90 Day Fiance storylines. Geoffrey has come across initially as a likeable single father who tragically lost one of his children. Varya, his love interest, is a beautiful Russian with a successful career in radio. Sounds great so far, huh? Of course, this being TLC, there is apparently more to Geoffrey’s story than appears on the surface. Way more.
As reported by People, a Change.org petition has been initiated that is asking that Geoffrey “be removed from the show and have him appear on no further shows due to current allegations and criminal charges made against him.”
According to the Change.org petition, Geoffrey has allegedly “been accused of kidnapping, abuse, rape, child endangerment, dealing drugs, felony larceny, theft and battery. He is barred from ever entering Canada.” The petition currently has over 3,000 signatures.
Wow–that is a lot to digest. At this point, it is impossible to discern what is what amongst the allegations. That is one long laundry list of alleged criminal activity, however. Geoffrey has admitted to drug dealing in his past on the show.
Shortly after the appearance of the petition a week ago, Geoffrey made an Instagram post addressing why he is on the show despite having what he himself refers to as a “checkered past.”
Geoffrey began his post by stating, “I have been repeatedly asked why I would EVER want to be on a show (the best show FYI) where my life would be put in front of everyone to pick apart—especially with my checkered past. Well, guys, it is MY past. It is MY life. It is MY choice. If we were all the same: thought the same, looked the same, or acted the same, how lame would that be?”
Yes, it is reasonable people would ask why someone would do the show, even if a fraction of the allegations against Geoffrey are true. Of course, we all know that the lure of fame and possible opportunities can be intoxicating incentives to lay yourself bare, resulting in some of show’s stars willing to go to any length to continue their notoriety. See Ashley Martson, Paul Staehle and Colt Johnson for further reference.
“My closed-up life was the only way I knew to live,” Geoffrey went on to say. “I hid so much about myself—whether it be my age, my history, or even my relationships. What crazier, whacked up way could I have done it any better than blasting out there?”
Certainly, putting yourself on a reality show seen by millions of people could be seen as “crazy and whacked up.” Why anyone would choose to do so is a whole other matter.
Geoffrey then became a bit philosophical, adding, “With the path I chose, it cannot EVER be reversed. Everything about me is out there for the world to see, whether it is true or fantasy. I can never go back, and honestly, I would not have it any different.”
Many people would probably LOVE to go back and change some of their life decisions, but apparently not Geoffrey. It is not like the alleged charges against him are disorderly conduct or a speeding ticket. But hey, I guess you have to have some approach to reconciling your past.
“I have realized who my ‘people’ are and, opposingly, who only want to hold me down and set me back,” Geoffrey went on to explain. “Luckily, I NOW have a strong support system via mostly complete strangers who have lifted me up SO high and have shared their love.” Complete strangers can be so supportive in troubled times.
Geoffrey continued, “Here is to finding MY light and new beginning at the other end of the tunnel! When things no longer work, find YOUR tunnel! See you tonight as I start my new quest to the other side of the world…I love you guys-always do YOU!”
“Finding your light, coming out of the tunnel and always doing you” are platitudes one would expect to find on kitschy plaques in the clearance aisle at your local Home Goods store, but if they work for Geoffrey, more power to him. I have a feeling we will be finding out a lot more about Mr. Paschel as the season progresses. Maybe even things you won’t find on a Home Goods plaque.
You have to wonder what TLC knew about Geoffrey’s background at the time of casting and filming. It will be interesting to see if and how his past is addressed on the show. And will Varya, who seems quite sensible, stay with him?

The latest season of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days has begun. And one participant, in particular, has stood out more than others.
Ed Brown, who gave himself the moniker “Big Ed”, has bravely decided to share his story of finding true love on this season. And has already had to deal with the fallout of being a little different.
While anyone choosing to go on reality tv must know they are about to enter the juggernaut of online trolls it doesn’t make the experience any easier. Especially when there might be something different about them.
Ed is a 54-year-old photographer who has decided to take a chance on love with 23 year- old Rosemarie from the Philippines. At just 4’11, Ed is a big personality in a smaller package. And has been open on the show about his concerns Rosemarie wouldn’t find him attractive.
Sitting down with Entertainment Tonight, Ed talked about his condition called Klippel-Feil syndrome. Which is a rare congenital condition that causes the fusion of bones in the neck.
“I have limited range of movement,” Ed explained, “I have a bigger than normal chest cavity, so I’ve been made fun of my whole life.” And even when he was getting married to his now ex-wife he shared his concerns over his appearance. “I even asked my ex-wife one time, who at the time we got married was beautiful, and I said, ‘Why do you love me? Don’t I look differently to you? I have a shorter neck and I’m not very tall,” he shared, “And she’s like ‘What are you talking about?”
Ed’s decision to appear on tv also caused him anxiety over his appearance. And how people would respond. “..when the show first came out, I was literally in a panic because I was reading stuff online – which they told me not to,” he said. And while the things he saw were “unkind” he claims he’s not mad at those who said it. “I think if people really knew how it affects people when you make fun of somebody, they wouldn’t do that,” Ed explained.
However, there is a silver lining. Ed discovered his brave decision to go on tv has helped a viewer who suffers from the same condition he does. In an emotional moment, Ed explained how he was contacted by a viewer named Abe. “Two weeks ago, I got this letter from Abe in New York that has my same condition,” he shared. “I was able to reach out to him and he was like, ‘Look, I don’t know how you do it, you’re on national TV rubbing mayonnaise on your hair. I have the same problem, everyone is making fun of me.”
Ed shared that Abe wanted to “give up” on life. “I just said, “Abe do not. Do not let this syndrome define who you are,” he explained, “And that’s how I’ve always kind of lived my life.” Ed maintains he has to have a “sense of humor” about it.
“If we can learn more to laugh at ourselves and people are going to look at us differently,” Ed stated. “But the most important thing I’ve learned from that is that I’m different and it’s OK to be different.”
If nothing else from this season, Ed can at least say he may have inspired some people to embrace their differences.
TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF BIG ED? DO YOU THINK IT WAS BRAVE OF HIM TO DECIDE TO GO ON TV? DO YOU THINK HE SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED THE THINGS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SAY ABOUT HIM?

Last night’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta was tough to watch. Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey went out of their way to protect Kenya Moore from the group following the news of her separation from Marc Daly.
Obviously, many RHOA viewers can’t stand Marc, but Kenya has made it very difficult to have sympathy for her. Last night, NeNe Leakes showed Kenya some phony sympathy at dinner. In response, Kenya thanked each cast member individually, except for NeNe, which was super rude. Then, Kenya made a half ass attempt at peace when she decided to bring out a plate of dessert to NeNe- the same dessert that was available in mass quantities for the entire cast. How special. And, of course, the shade continued onto Twitter.
NeNe tweeted, “I don’t want to hear NOTHING from NOBODY concerning Ken. She sits, talks and thanks some who has done wayyyyy more worst to her than i ever have! I don’t owe this monster NOTHING! I personally think her friends need to keep it 100 wit her.”
Then, NeNe brought up some specifics: “The fact that her friends ask others to be sensitive to her situation but she was NEVER sensitive towards porsha & Kordell (remember her sayin porsha was his beard) Phaedra & Apollo, Paul & Tanya. LETS NOT FORGET.”
And by “her friends,” NeNe is obviously referring to Cynthia and Kandi.
Kandi tweeted a screenshot of her name trending on Twitter and wrote, “Thanks for the love!” In response, a fan pointed out, “It’s not all love.” And Kandi told this person, “Even if you love to hate, its still love….”

Ever since Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice separated from her husband, Joe Giudice, it seems like everyone has a lot to say. Joe left the ICE detention center for Italy, while he waits for the final decision on his deportation case.
Teresa brought their four daughters to Italy to reunite with their father, and it was really emotional. But it was beyond awkward to see Teresa and Joe’s interaction.
It was obvious that Teresa was done with their marriage.
Teresa recently admitted on RHONJ that she believed that Joe Giudice had cheated on her when their daughter, Gia Giudice, was young. At the time, she chose to believe her husband’s denials.
Teresa’s sister-in-law Melissa Gorga hasn’t been shy about talking about Joe Giudice. According to HollywoodLife, she called into Jonathan Cheban’s Foodgod podcast on February 6, and shared her feelings. “I’m really not close to him. I never was and I’m not gonna deny it,” Melissa said. “We were never besties… I never thought he was the greatest.”
Joe Gorga spoke with US Weekly on February 18, and he put all the blame for Teresa’s situation directly on Joe Giudice. Joe Gorga said, “It’s over. He didn’t know how to act. If he acted right, maybe. I believe if he came out and was so apologetic and showed her so much love and just was different– and he wasn’t that man that he was before.”
Joe Gorga said that Joe Giudice blew any chance that he had with Teresa. “Like that rough man, ‘I don’t care, I didn’t want to marry you anyway.’ I think she probably would have given him a second chance,” Joe stated. “I think they should have been separated sooner. She should have moved on much sooner.” Joe Gorga added, “They’re done. That ship has sailed.”
Now Teresa has a warning for her family–zip it about her ex. Teresa spoke with AllAboutTRH about her family bad-mouthing Joe Giudice. “I don’t like it and I told them no more. I mean, listen, my brother is upset. And my brother has kept his mouth shut for a long time but now I told both of them [Melissa & Joe Gorga] to quit it,” Teresa said.
Teresa continued, “I do not want them to say one more thing about Joe Giudice. Going into the next season – if they say boo about him – I am going to explode. They know not to talk about him anymore. And my kids don’t want to hear it.” If Melissa and Joe Gorga don’t knock it off, they might be dodging some flipped tables.
And how is Teresa’s relationship with Melissa these days? Are there any sprinkle cookies in in Melissa’s future? Teresa said, “Yeah…you know – we’re sister-in-laws. We’re family. I don’t want to go back to that toxic place. To me what happened with my family was toxic. My husband was not toxic to me because if he was toxic –I would have never stayed with him,” Teresa explained. My husband did say stupid sh*t which he admits now.”
TELL US- SHOULD MELISSA AND JOE STOP TALKING ABOUT JOE GIUDICE? IS THIS GOING TO BE A BIG STORYLINE NEXT SEASON ON RHONJ?

When Vicki Gunvalson was demoted for Season 14 of Real Housewives of Orange County, it shook both viewers, and other Housewives. Vicki was the “OG of the OC.” Obviously, Vicki was not happy about losing her orange and had a spectacular melt-down at the reunion.
Both Vicki and her bestie, Tamra Judge, rejected the part-time roles they were offered. But then, in early March, Vicki and Tamra posted the same photo to Instagram of them with a camera crew.
In an interview with People, Vicki confirmed that she is filming a new reality show with Tamra, but can’t reveal many details. “We have great chemistry and we’re having fun. We’ve got a really special journey happening. It’s something that will really inspire people,” she shared.
Vicki, who was recently desperate to keep her full-time Housewives gig, slammed RHOC. “Those last few years doing the show, for me, were really toxic, and when anything becomes toxic in my age at life– be it your career, relationships, friendships –you have to cut it out,” Vicki explained.
Vicki stated that filming RHOC took a toll on her. “Personally, I can’t be around that anymore. I can’t do the mean girls s—. I’m over it. And about halfway through last year, when my castmate was criticizing my appearance and calling me ugly, I really had a revelation. ‘What, am I going to cry every day because you think I’m less than? No, I’m not less than. We all do the very best we can with what God gave us. And I’m beautiful the way I am.’ I just had to get away from it and say, ‘You can’t hurt me anymore,’” Vicki shared.
Remember when Vicki accused co-star Kelly Dodd of using cocaine during the Season 13 reunion? And then helped spread that sex train rumor (with Tamra) about Kelly? I am sure that Vicki wasn’t being mean at all.
Now Vicki has her own podcast with Westwood One, Whoop It Up with Vicki. She also said that her podcast will be more authentic than RHOC.
“In the beginning, it was about showing your real lives; your family, your friendships, your work. But it stopped being that and it started being about fighting. And they never showed my real life anymore,” the former Housewife told People. “It just became fake. Why do you want to go on an internationally famous show and be mean?” When Vicki got so drunk that she peed on Tamra’s bed, that seemed real. (And really gross.)
“I don’t create a storylines, like so many of these women do. I read somewhere that someone said ‘My storyline was over.’ Hold on. Last time I checked, this is a reality show,” Vicki remarked. “Some of the other girls create fake storylines. I never have, I never will. Maybe one day I’ll come back to the show, but only when the show wants to create real TV. In the meantime, we’ll see if any of these women last 14 years. I’m good with my tenure.”
Vicki added, “I want to show my real life. My real life is incredible, exhausting and exciting. I’m helping people every day in my business [Coto Insurance]. I’m a loving mother and grandma. I have this great relationship with [fiancé Steve Lodge]. That’s the reality of my life, not that fake stuff.”

Joao Franco’s first season on Below Deck Mediterranean did not inspire a lot of confidence in his ability for a respectful romantic relationship. His constant flirtations with Kasey Cohen while wooing a smitten Brooke Laughton was cringe-worthy at best. Their relationship chugged along for a bit after the season ended. Brooke went to visit Joao’s family in Zimbabwe, which seemed promising, but she ultimately broke up with him shortly thereafter.
Of course that all played out in the Bravolebrity spotlight. Since then, Joao has been keeping his relationship with girlfriend Michelle Dicu relatively private, except for a few Instagram posts. But on Friday, Joao did share some very exciting news with his followers.
It turns out that congratulations are in order for Joao and Michelle. Bravo’s The Daily Dish broke the news that on Friday March 6, Joao posted to IG that Michelle had accepted his proposal. The two were pictured at Zimbabwe’s legendary Victoria Falls. That’s quite a backdrop!
Joao captioned the sweet picture with the following sentiments, “the most incredible feeling I have ever felt was when she said yes. I’ve never felt a happiness so true and I fall in love with her over and over again, every day. Here is to the rest of our lives by each other’s side.”
Fellow Below Deck cast members posted well-wishes for the newly engaged couple, including Captain Sandy Yawn who wrote, “Congratulations.” She also “loved” the suggestion of officiating the wedding for her former Bosun.
Ross Inia posted, “congrats to you and [Michelle],” while Bobby Giancola invited himself to the wedding. He wrote, “congrats brotha! Do me a favor and have the wedding in America so I can go lol.” Another Bravolebrity to send congratulations was Shah’s of Sunset star Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi.
Colin Macy-O’Toole may be vying for position of best man. He and Joao became very close friends both onscreen and off. Colin posted, “congrats buddy! I wish nothing but love and happiness to you both,” as well as sharing an homage of the couple on his IG story.
Will Joao and Michelle’s wedding become a Bravo affair?
