Ultimate Tag, Fox’s new competition, has some surprises in its arena
Fox’s Ultimate Tag, hosted by JJ, TJ, and Derek Watt, is significantly better than similar reality shows that came before it. But it’s also not the next American Ninja Warrior or American Gladiators.

Kristen Doute Says Writing About Sleeping With Jax Taylor Was ‘The Hardest” Part Of Authoring A Book
For Vanderpump Rules fans it was the slap heard round the world. Let’s turn back the clock to the Season 2 finale of Pump Rules when Kristen Doute finally admitted to Stassi Schroeder that she slept with Jax Taylor. Jax at this time was trying desperately to win Stassi back after cheating on her in Vegas. Kristen was trying desperately to prove that her then-boyfriend Tom Sandoval was cheating with Ariana Madix. But in the midst of all the messiness, another cheating scandal was bubbling under the radar. In the finale, viewers witnessed Kristen finally take accountability for sleeping with Jax. In return, she got slapped – hard – by the self-proclaimed Queen Stassi.
I don’t condone the physical violence – but that season of Pump Rules was epic. This Kristen/Jax/Stassi/Tom “storyline” came out of nowhere – that you have to believe it’s actually real. The secret built the whole season and we got to watch the mess unfold to this slapping crescendo. No matter whose side you were on, everyone could at least agree that this cast was living their messiest lives on camera – and we loved them for it. As they’ve grown in subsequent seasons the series has lost this messy magic. One thing however has remained messy, and that is Stassi and Kristen’s rollercoaster friendship. Today, these women are seemingly on the outs, and Kristen is taking this moment to spill the tea about the infamous cheating scandal.
In an interview with Us Weekly, Kristen talks about the release of her upcoming book, He’s Making You Crazy. The new author is especially candid here, saying, “I think the ‘I Lied’ chapter was probably the hardest one for me to write.” The chapter is about her and sociopath Jason Cauchi Jax having sex – with Tom 1 in the next room – and lying to all their friends about it. Kristen shares that writing this chapter, “was difficult because I felt so much guilt about my mistake that I didn’t feel that I really deserved any sort of platform to speak my mind about it or say my peace.” I am impressed by this sense of remorse – but also – very happy she’s going to spill!
Kristen said, “I just want to explain where my brain was at because I think a lot of women have gone through this and, you know, they have had affairs or they’ve messed up or they’ve lied about something. But there’s a reason for it. And it’s not to take the blame off of myself, but it’s just to explain where my brain was at in that moment.” She also clarified that she is, “not blaming [Jax] for this, I’m actually taking the heat for it.” This is the right thing to do – but Jax is hardly blameless and he’s shown that he has zero remorse, ever, for his actions.

Kristen also shared that she is not naming names, even though we already know who she’s talking about. “I thought truly that it would be so much grander for the reader to read if it was just left as a simple key or like a pseudonym as we use often because I want women to be reading the story and not about the who.” Okay, sure.
Importantly, Kristen noted that she reached out, “to both Brittany [Cartwright] and Ariana and just kind of gave them a heads up that there were going to be some things about, you know, Brittany’s husband and Ariana, her long-term boyfriend… They were both like, you know, ‘Do you girl.’” It’s good to hear she has support from at least two friends on the show.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Star Jenna MacGillivray Says People Get Mad At Her When She Apologizes
The word “frustrating” doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel watching Jenna MacGillivray on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. I can’t imagine how the cast members felt being stuck on a boat with her. She and Adam Glick have the worst attitudes possible. She is condescending to her stews Madison Stalker and Georgia Grobbler, going the extra mile to make Madison’s life hell.
Jenna made fun of Parker McCown all season. She even clapped back at her boss Captain Glenn Shephard because he asked her to tone down the PDA AT WORK. Adam and Jenna just became increasingly smug as the season went on. Their whole relationship was just so strange since it’s not even like they were getting along amazingly well. They were at odds just as much as they were all over each other. And not only that, but we pretty much only saw Jenna polishing that one glass. Sure, there’s editing and we can’t see it all, but sure seemed like Madison and Georgia were doing a majority of the work this season.
Jenna reflected on the season with an Instagram post. She admitted, “I got lost this season. Lost in a love I believed in. Lost in a person I believed in. I’m a hopeless romantic that grew up on Disney and foolishly believed I too could find an everlasting love. And for years, when I met someone I felt was worth it, I gave it everything I had. And that is my fault, because in that process I forget no one is going to catch me when I fall.” Meanwhile, these two seemed absolutely miserable in between making out, but love comes in many forms, I guess.
Jenna maintained, “I tried my hardest this season to be a boss. I tried my hardest to be open and vulnerable, and to many of you, that simply wasn’t good enough. But I tried and I will try again. I made mistakes. And you’ll see at the reunion how that transpires.” Oh, great, more Jenna.

Jenna claimed, “It saddens me mostly because I’m a person that takes joy in making others happy.” That’s not something we saw on the show when she was talking down to everyone, but let’s hope it’s somewhat true considering her job and all.
The Chief Stew said, “There were a lot of complexities at play.”
RELATED: Below Deck Sailing Yacht Star Jenna MacGillivray Says Romance With Adam Glick Didn’t Interfere With Work; Addresses Backlash From Fans
She claimed, “I’ve apologized to Madison, Georgia, and Parker. I most recently apologized to Glenn for my tone and behaviour in last nights episode. I feel when I apologize people get mad at me, and if I say nothing, I also get chastised. Im trying my best. We are all human and make mistakes. So Im just going to chug this beer in my hand and eat some humble pie.” She needs a BIG piece of that humble pie. I also want to know if she apologized to those people on her own or if it was something she was encouraged to do during the reunion taping.
Below Deck Med Stew Hannah Ferrier (who has had her fair share of criticism) commented, “That’s because you can’t win honey! It’s really that simple. So stop trying and concentrate on your family and friends who know you x.”

Meeting the Michael Jordan We Didn’t Know

Kenya Moore Says NeNe Leakes Is A Childish Coward Who Lights Fires & Runs Away When It Gets Hot
The current Real Housewives of Atlanta season started out with NeNe Leakes‘ absence, from multiple episodes. People, i.e. Kenya Moore, wondered if this meant NeNe was getting phased out of the show. NeNe and Kenya have been shading each other and downright insulting each other all season long.
They went toe to toe during the first two episodes of the reunion. However, NeNe just disappeared during the second episode. And since it’s a virtual reunion, she’s at her home without production. She’s not even in the preview for the final episode. Does that mean she doesn’t come back? It’s unclear at this point, but Kenya has a lot to say about it, as expected.
In an interview with Daily Mail, Kenya dished on NeNe’s reunion exit. The wig-wearing mom said, “Well, listen, the truth of the matter is it’s childish, it’s cowardice and it’s just who she is as a person.”
Kenya went to describe her shade-throwing nemesis a some who “lights all these fires” only to be “the first person to run away when it gets hot.”

And, as expected, Kenya has zero sympathy for NeNe’s frustration during the reunion taping. She remarked, “There have been seasons where there’s a girl in the hot seat and you have to be able to deal with it. So with that said, I don’t think it’s fair that (whether you are uncomfortable or not) you think it’s okay to just walk off and walk off your job.”
Kenya added, “Any other time you’re going to walk off a job, you’re gonna get fired.” Ain’t the truth? Just not on Real Housewives of Atlanta though. Well, at least not yet, anyway.

Kristin Cavallari Announces End Of Reality TV Show Very Cavallari Following Divorce Drama With Jay Cutler
Season 4 of Very Cavallari was shaping up to be the most interesting yet. Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler initially seemed like they would have an amicable split. They claimed that they simply “grew apart.” However, in less than 24 hours that proved to be far from true. These two couldn’t agree on anything (no wonder they’re getting divorced). They each claimed to be the more involved parent. They wanted different custody arrangements. On top of that, they couldn’t even agree on when they actually ended their relationship.
Kristin’s lawyer claimed that Jay and his lawyer blocked her from buying a home with her portion of shared money. Then Kristin’s dehydrated ex-friend Kelly Henderson posted a photo of a man with a bracelet that looked just like Jay’s just to exploit this situation for as much attention as possible. This would have been a lot more interesting than the previous Very Cavallari when employees sent out empty boxes to customers. However, Very Cavallari has come to close.
For the most part, it’s usually a crock of sh*t when a reality star claims that they have decided to move on from a show on their own. Most likely, that person actually got fired and is just trying to save face. However, there’s no way the E! Network would drop Kristin in the midst of all this drama. Well, unless she refused to talk about the divorce. Then again, Jay brought a lot of comic relief to this show. As nice as it is to see Kristin succeeding with her jewelry business, Jay’s commentary absolutely made the show.
RELATED: Kristin Cavallari Thinks Jay Cutler Is Hiding Money From His NFL Pension
Kristin announced the end of her show in an Instagram post yesterday. She wrote, “As I start this new chapter in my life, I have decided not to continue with ‘Very Cavallari.’ I’ve absolutely loved my time filming and am so grateful to E! Entertainment for making this journey possible. To the fans: I can’t thank you enough for all your support and for keeping up with me all of these years. I love you guys.”
RELATED: Kristin Cavallari Accuses Jay Cutler Of “Marital Misconduct” In Divorce Papers
Damn. And that’s it. At least Kristin is slated to make an appearance on Season 2 of The Hills: New Beginnings. And, now I’m just hoping that the end of Very Cavallari means that Kristin will make more than just a one-time appearance on The Hills.
TELL US- ARE YOU SURPRISED VERY CAVALLARI IS OVER? DO YOU THINK KRISTIN QUIT? OR DID THE SHOW GET CANCELED? WOULD THE SHOW HAVE BEEN FUNNY WITHOUT JAY?

Vanderpump Rules Season Finale Recap: A Last Goodbye?
Last night’s Vanderpump Rules finale truly felt like it was the end of an era. And I’m ready to send Jax Taylor off into the abyss, where surely he will go after yelling in Lisa Vanderpump‘s face that this is ‘his show’. Lisa has already endured that type of malarky with Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills so she’ll certainly not put up with it from underling upstarts living in Valley Village (ahem.. Brandi!)
Tom 1 and Tom 2, by compression, are now well on their way to being restaurant moguls after signing onto the expansion of Tom Tom. They are moving into adulthood (finally!), while Jax, don’t bother blessing his cold dead heart, isn’t moving at all. He’s trapped in a fishbowl of his own drool, constantly regurgitating his own nonsense.
Jax can pretend all he wants that he’s tired of Tom 1, but what Jax is really tired of is Tom 1 being successful. Tom and Jax came up together as bartenders at SUR. For most of Vanderpump Rules Jax’s drama has driven things; yet it is Tom who was given the nudge by Lisa.
It’s easier to dismiss clumsy Tom 2, with his haphazard life. Tom 2 was never Jax’s rival and co-worker, he was always the ‘awww shucks Coors Light can’ to Tom 1 and Jax’s bottled Heineken. Tom 2 was coaxed along by Tom 1, wooed into joining Lisa’s empire. Plus any success has always been offset by his toxic marriage to Katie Maloney where Tom is victim of a rage text control cult. Then there is Tom 1: doing his own thing, making his own decisions, partnered with an intelligent woman who’s disinterested in playing along with bromance dramas or the messy incestuous friend group.
RELATED – Jax Taylor Slams Vanderpump Rules Co-Stars Tom Sandoval & Tom Schwartz; Says They “Have Not Prospered” & TomTom “Is A Money Pit”
I actually was really impressed by both Katie and Ariana Madix last night. I was impressed by Dayna Kathan and Raquel Leviss. I was really impressed by almost all the girls! Well, not Scheana Marie or her weirdo doppelganger with the even worse makeup who looked like a Monster High version of Scheana, or Kristen Doute, but otherwise I felt the girls held their own. Also more Danica Dow, please.
So, Jax is having his 650839068q09w8509 fake existential crisis where he pretends everything that’s wrong with his life is the result of some strange thing lurking in the back of his mind, taking over his epicenter of positivity, and forcing him to do bad things. It’s like a 1960’s episode of the Twilight Zone. Except tit’s probably Roid-Rage. Following the duel over pools, Lala Kent has Katie, Brittany Cartwright, and Stassi Schroeder to show-off her Bel Air mansion and remind them that their BJ skills will never measure up.
Brittany is wearing a shirt from the Farmer On the Dell in Hell collection; half plaid, half denim. Also, it’s muumuu sized. Katie is her best self here. Meaning full stank face and rude beyond measure, but finally directing it at the right person: Jax, (via his equally-deserving messenger, Brittany).
RELATED – Vanderpump Rules Recap: All’s Fair In Love & Pool Parties
I’m so over Brittany’s ‘stand by my man’ bullshit, while whining that she’s not responsible for Jax, yet everyone should put up with him because of her and accept him cause he’s promising to get help. Katie has no time for her drunken rage texts compared to Jax’s sober roid-texts. There was a method to her madness, a cruel mistress called Tequila, whereas Jax is just an asshole, and Katie has had her fill of assholes on an ego trip. She’s married to a bonafide restaurateur now and does not have to take the insubordination of a down on his luck, attention-addicted asshole bartender. Katie tells Brittany she’s had her fill of Jax and is blocking him. Lala and Stassi, look-on, shocked, while Brittany whined in this increasingly warbling whinny that I’m pretty sure only horses can understand. Yes, Katie! YES. Don’t worry — in the after-show on Bravo Katie is back to disappointing me, but for that one shining moment I cheered.
Over in a teeny apartment ,good things are also happening! James Kennedy is 45 days sober and his mom, his problematic mom, has also gotten sober and stayed that way for 6 moths. It’s all been a blessing in disguise. James’ mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and wound up with a double-mastectomy. Had it not been for being sober she never would’ve gotten employed with health insurance to get a mammogram. James cries his sweet little lost boy tears and I am so happy for him! I believe this is a new start for this family and I am really excited
How is James getting sober so endearing while Lala makes me stabby? Oh, it’s cause Lala gave up booze but booze was never her problem – ego was, and she sure as hell is still addicted to that! Hoopty hoebag Lauren from Mormon country needs to sit down, and stuff a fat wad of pasta or dick into her mouth and stop telling everyone how to live. I have choice words for her after she lied on Danica, getting her kicked out of Tom Tom while allowing that Karrah Klone to live another day by sucking the blood from famewhores. Ugh. That comes later.

First comes Lisa piling everyone into Tom Tom for a feature in Hollywood Reporter focusing on her meteoric successes merging restaurant domination with reality TV. Servers from all her restaurants – as far as Vegas! – are there, and low and behold, who is joining but Max Boyens‘ one-time hookup Karrah from Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, and Scheana’s erstwhile klone. It is a major fete to find a tackier version of Scheana out there, but Lisa has managed it. Thanks … said no one, literally, ever.

Max is embarrassed to see her, which seems fake. He’s also fake having issues with Dayna fake dating Brett Caprioni. After Brett annihilated Dayna’s self-esteem by announcing to a table-full of her friends that he didn’t like her, Dayna is still interested in him(!?!) According to douchebag poet who is flexing his brain muscles with frosé prose, there’s a difference between having feelings and having an interest. Dayna goes along with this. Then they both try to gang up on Scheana who clicks her nails together 3 times, laughs like a dolphin, and is transported to the set of Solid Gold. Scheana is self-delusions are so fortified she’s unbothered. I don’t think Scheana’s 3 feet long eyelashes permit thoughts to permeate her brain so she really has no idea what Brett or Dayna’s issue is. Although Scheana pretending she doesn’t want to sleep with Brett is laughable.
This recap seems to be skipping around a lot, and for that I’m sorry. Lotta people to catch up with, at a million different locations – so many ailments, lifestyle concerns, generational gaps, income disparities, job positions… I really can’t keep up.
So anyway, now we’re back at the photoshoot where Jax is being a dick and getting it handed to him by Ariana and Lisa. First Ariana comes over to him, calmly sits down, and informs him that he really needs to stop talking about her and Tom, because he’s an idiot with no leg to stand on. It’s amazing to watch Jax flounder when a well-spoken, unthreatened, intelligent woman confronts him. He was basically speechless. Next Jax tried to throw a tantrum during the photoshoot by refusing to wear the SUR shirt. Jax was openly seething that Tom and Tom were front and center, bookending Lisa, while he was stuffed in a corner next to Ariana’s brother.
RELATED – Lala Kent Says She & Randall Emmett Have Almost Broken Up A Dozen Times In Quarantine
Lisa publicly chastised him and insisted Jax put on a black shirt. Afterwards, Lisa called Jax out for trying to be the center of attention by self-sabotaging and faking depression. Jax actually claims he has a handicap! Too bad his excuses no longer work on Lisa (or Tom 1).
After pretending he wasn’t gonna show up at the Tom Tom party, Jax and Brittany of course appeared.
This party is a mess of issues: Ariana is still irritated with Stassi for allegedly talking shit about her house. Ariana recognizes that she probably overreacted (like calling out Stassi for having bad credit and renting), and wants to try to hash it out as adults. When Stassi learns that the situation started with Scheana they immediately call her over to warble some nonsense. I couldn’t get past whatever Scheana was wearing. There are Stassi and Ariana, her peers, dressed hot yet age-appropriately while Scheana was wearing workout clothes from a 2000 Brittany Spears music video set? I mean Scheana… UGH.
Stassi is already in a bad mood because Ariana also warned her that Kristen would be attending, and that she’s back together with Carter. Officially. Then while Stassi’s trying to figure out the Scheana bullshit, Scheana’s hanger-on comes barging over to wipe her fake tanner on the shoulder of Stassi’s white blazer. Was this girl trying to translate dolphin?
RELATED – Vanderpump Rules Editor Who Made Scheana Marie Look Like She Was Hitting On A Teen Got Fired & STILL Hasn’t Apologized
Stassi and Ariana dismissed Karrah as a nothing, but Danica cannot leave unwell enough alone. Maybe Danica believes her job as assistant manager doubles as security? Or she didn’t get the memo to ignore the upstarts? But she stomps over to tell Karrah to mind her own business. Karrah, though, wants a piece of the Bravo pie, and drunk as she is, she’s apparently not an idiot and instigates a huge fight with Danica, with Kristen actually trying to break things up! Then Lala gets involved, and in the melee of Danica screaming at Karrah to go away, someone gets pushed and a drink is spilled on Lala’s poodle in an invisibility cloak costume. When Lisa intervene Lala blames the entire thing on Danica who is thrown out. WHAT THE FUCK! No, hoodie-hoedown, do not fuck with Danica. NEWP.
Also, I love Charli Burnett — why does she not get enough attention? Why is she punished for having the standards to not sleep with Brett or Max? Why is Dayna rewarded? I really don’t care about Brett and Max mending their bromance by deciding Dayna’s the bad guy. Or Max telling Dayna she doesn’t mean anything. I did love that Dayna informed him that he’s a scumbag of his own making. Dayna also needs to give Brett this same lecture.

Finally, the penultimate moment occurs where we are treated to dueling friendship explosions. Stassi and Katie vs. Kristen; Tom 1 vs. Jax. Poor Brittany – she will forever be an afterthought in Jax’s life. She will eventually lose all her friends to his assholery. Well, you lay down with douchebags, you wake up with hemorrhoids. I mean, right?
Tom is such a sweet man. We’re peers so I guess I should stop thinking of him as a boy, and last night he really grew up before my eyes. After watching Jax obfuscate and continue to take no accountability (or even give Tom any grace or credit), Tom realized this friendship was worthless. Literally. You could see it happening. This moment where he had the ephipany that for 20 years he’s given and given to Jax, who has done nothing but belittle and take in return. Tom has no more energy to give.
RELATED – Jax Taylor Explains Why He Exposed Kristen Doute’s Sex Tape; Jax Claims Kristen Made Sure Carter “Accidentally” Saw The Video
Tom tells Jax he’s drawing some boundaries on their relationship and basically bowing out. Jax thinks they’re ‘taking a break,’ aka giving him more time to go around spewing about how horrible Tom and Ariana are for not blindly accepting his BS and parroting the narrative that this time he’s changing. Ariana pointblank told him he won’t change. This is who he is: a pathological liar and a diabolically selfish narcissitic asshole.
Jax will do all of these things again. Everyone can continue pretending he’s working on himself and that this time he’s truly becoming “Jason,” but he’s just Jax. A straight up Jaxass. Jax can also pretend that he’s made the decision to press pause on his friendship with Tom, but that’s not true. Tom walked away, literally and figurative. Tom walked away to tend HIS bar. The bar he made a success with his real best friend, Tom 2.
Jax tells Lisa that the Toms are his forever friends and his family, that this isn’t just a TV show plot, so Lisa tells him to go fix things then. – to apologize and be humble. Jax bristles that he made this show – his show – and he doesn’t have to bow down to anyone. That’s it for Lisa. She snaps that this is HER SHOW. Her name is on the masthead and the executive producer credits. Her name is on the restaurant walls. Well, hers and Tom. Jax is nothing but a hired hand and that hand can turn right around to push him out the door.
Meanwhile, Stassi tells Kristen that the Witches of WeHo, both in libation and in life, are “dunzo.” This friendship, whatever it’s been pretending to be, is no more. Katie and Stassi have no more patience for Kristen Jaxing them. She’s been saying they’re bad friends for not supporting her through the breakup from Carter, but the problem is and has always been that there is no breakup. More than that, there’s no honesty in their friendship. Katie and Stassi walk away together, leaving Kristen standing there, alone and deflated.

When James is making progress and growth, while Kristen and Jax are the same old, same old – that should tell you something! James is on top of the world. He DJ’s the party with no incidents, and even manages to pull Randall aside to apologize for calling him a fat old man bankrolling Lala’s life.
That scene really amplified that Randall is a fat old man. He looked 25 years older than James, doughy and awkward, but he was very nice about Jame’s obsequious apology. Sober James is lovely and no one knows this more than Raquel. She leans over the DJ booth to tell him she’s never found him more sexy than he is in this moment: together, lucid, confident, relaxed, and unlike Brittany, Raquel knows she made the right choice to stand by her man. Who were they calling dumb again?
Oh, I liked Beau Clark again! Is he finally growing on me? I think of him as the new Tom 2. I do love an underdog, and now that James has got his shit together so I need a new one!

The Reality Tea Merch Store Has Officially Opened
Once again, we would love to thank everyone for supporting our website, always, but especially right now. Everyone’s lives have changed so much in recent months and it means so much to all of us at Reality Tea that you make the time to read our site, share articles, and provide insightful commentary. We are so happy that we can maintain some sense of normalcy for the readers and provide some entertainment when it might be needed.
We are always looking for new ways to expand our Reality Tea community.
With that said, we understand that this is not the best time to announce that we have just launched our Reality Tea online store. We are trying to be as sensitive as we can be with our news coverage and social media activity given everything that’s going on in the world. We completely understand that this timing isn’t ideal. However, our team has been working on this merchandise for a while, we’ve been holding off on the launch, and it’s just unclear when life will resume as “normal.” We acknowledge all of that. We know that not everyone is in a place to shop at this time and we completely understand that.
Working on the store items has been such an enjoyable collaboration for us. We have been eager to share this with all of you for a long time. Regardless of whether or not you purchase anything, we want to thank all of you for your support that you’ve shown in so many ways!
Since we love serving up the Reality Tea, we have some mugs for your tea (or coffee) at home. We have covers for your cell phones (iPhone and Samsung), so you can type up the best shade when you live-tweet your favorite shows. There are leggings and sports bras if you want to rep the site while you work out.
We have some cozy sweatshirts for anyone who wants to be comfortable at home. We have some short sleeve tops and tanks, which would be perfect as the weather warms up. There are gift cards if you want to let your favorite reality TV viewer pick out their own merchandise.
We are so excited about this store launch and we’re so happy to finally share the items with all of you! Click here to check out all of the items. Thank you all for your support!
