This also could be the first week that he doesn’t win it as well. Taylor Hale may also be exempted from this week’s Power of Veto Competition, but both could end up in Veto depending on the Veto draw.
Because Head of Household Monte Taylor wants to do what’s best for The Leftovers, it’s in Monte’s best interest if Michael and Brittany Hoopes play in this week’s Veto Competition. If not them, he needs three players from The Leftovers or three players who would help the Leftovers in the Veto Competition.
On Thursday’s Big Brother 24 episode, Terrance Higgins joined Joseph Adbin and Monte’s Festie Bestie group. This automatically meant that Joseph, Terrance, Joseph, and potentially three other players could play in the Veto competition. Last week’s Power of Veto Competition involved pairs, so this week’s competition should have the same. However, with Terrance being added to the Joseph and Monte group, we weren’t sure if they’ll be a pick for one set of pairs or just one individual players, or one pair. The pair option would make it seven Veto players, which isn’t common.
Today, we found out after the players were picked for this week’s Veto Competition. The players are Joseph, Terrance, Monte, nominees Alyssa Snider and Indy Santos, and picked pair Kyle Capener, and Daniel Durston.
This is an interesting draw because the current plan is to backdoor Nicole Layog. Nicole senses this and Daniel believes this too, so it will be interesting if Kyle and him win it. Kyle will likely want to use it but Daniel may not because of Nicole. However, Kyle could try to convince him that Taylor Hale would be evicted before Nicole.
So who won this week’s Big Brother 24 Power of Veto Competition? Read below to find out!

“I know they did that in Australia,” Becca said in a recent Us Magazine article. “I think they had a Bachelorette who was bisexual, and I just saw a few clips on TikTok. I didn’t watch the season or anything, but it looked like it was pretty well done and done in a very respectful way.”
Becca added, “The one thing that I have learned in my life so far is that you really can’t make everyone happy.”
Bachelor Nation did showcase a same-sex relationship (and brief engagement) between Bachelor alum Demi Burnett and Kristian Haggerty on Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise.
“With Demi and Kristian from Bachelor in Paradise, there was that story line, they opened up that conversation. And I think if they do it in a way that’s respectful and just normalizes same-sex relationships, I think there’s a way that it can be done,” Becca continued. “I just worry that, you know, it turns into something — I just never want it to be done in a way that we go backwards. I hope that one day that’s an option and that they consider that. But I also wonder, like, what would that look like for everyone in the house? . . . It would be great TV [if the contestants fell for each other], because you’re all living in a house together. It’s like, ‘How could it not happen?’ If people were having connections.”
Becca continued that she “appreciate[d] the effort of them having that story line on the show,” even though some fans weren’t happy that Kristian wasn’t part of the Bachelor Nation franchise before she showed up in Mexico after connecting with Demi off-screen.
“I think it’s mostly important to show the age old saying, ‘Love is love,'” Becca said. “Just show it–people having the chance to date and fall in love with each other, as opposed to making it a spectacle thing.”
The Bachelor alum (she competed for Chris Soules‘s heart in Season 19) went public with girlfriend Hayley Kiyoko in May after four years of quietly dating. She has since said that the singer is a fan of Bachelor Nation and initially lied to Becca about seeing her on the series.
“Later on, I found out she had in fact watched both of the seasons I was on,” Becca admitted. “I never was like a huge [fan]. I watched it after I was on it, but I wasn’t consistent every Monday. [Now] every Monday that show’s on, we are sitting there and analyzing it. I’m watching it from a different perspective because of, like, being on the show. I can kind of go, ‘Oh, that sounds like maybe a producer asked that question or phrased that question’ and she’ll get so upset.”
No spoilers please, Becca! We all know most of the drama is production driven, but portraying the growth of a same-sex relationship would reflect the world outside of the show.
Bachelor Nation has tiptoed up to the line with a bromance or a close female relationship a time or two, but we’ve never seen a real same-sex romance develop on the show. I agree with Becca that if it’s done in a tasteful and respectful way (I know that’s asking a lot for a show that loves to put people in embarrassing situations and call it “good TV”), it may be time to show a same-sex relationship on The Bachelor franchise.

A major division has happened this week in the Big Brother 24 house. It’s The Leftovers versus the Girls Girls/Old Skool alliance. Last week, The Leftovers got their way by taking out Ameerah Jones. This left quite a few players pretty confused about the house dynamics and their position in the game. The Girls Girls alliance really needs to win this week’s Head of Household Competition, or it leaves room for The Leftovers to steamroll the game.
The players in most danger of eviction this week are Monte Taylor, Alyssa Snider, Indy Santos, Daniel Durston, and Nicole Layog. Monte may be the Leftovers member most in danger because he’s in a–now faux–alliance with many of the players on the other side. They have started to question his trustworthiness.
Joseph Abdin may also be in jeopardy as Monte’s Festie Bestie, but if Joseph can completely deny his involvement in this week’s blindside, he may be the safer of the pair. Alyssa and Indy could become targets from both sides of the house. The Girls Girls weren’t sure if they could trust Indy, and the day of chaos caused more people to wonder if Alyssa could be trusted.
Her nomance showmance with Kyle Capener has also made people wonder if she’s sharing too much info with him. Kyle also worries about how Alyssa may affect his long-term game. He may want her out before the jury part of the game to eliminate any discussion about them becoming a true showmance.
For many of the houseguests, Daniel and Nicole have become public enemies number one and two. Many houseguests want one or both of them out as soon as possible. Each one of these players really needs this week’s Head of Household power and safety.
On Thursday’s Live Eviction episode, the Head of Household Competition started, but we would have to wait for the results. The HOH Competition was based on the new movie The Invitation. It would happen in multiple parts. The first involved finding a red invitation in a series of envelopes. The first eight players to find them advanced to the next round. The four that didn’t find it, would be out of the HOH race.
So who won this week’s Big Brother 24 Head of Household Competition? Read below to find out.

Monte is the new Head of Household!
This means that Joseph as his Festie Bestie is now safe. Terrance is also safe because he chose to join him and Joseph. Likely, Monte will nominate Taylor and Nicole, with Nicole being the target. He’ll probably nominate Taylor to keep The Leftovers undercover and keep up the narrative that they’re targeting each other. If he doesn’t nominate Taylor, Daniel and Kyle may see the block.

The honeymoons really set up our expectations for the rest of the season. Now that the weddings are over and the couples get a chance to learn more about their spouse. Things are always exciting when the families and friends come into play. Some give a little too much information, while others make their overbearing nature known. There were so many important tidbits that we learned during this episode. I am excited to see how all of these relationships progress. I already have some theories of my own.
Four stranger spouses, who have never met, spend their first night together. They share stories, secrets, and more in bed. Each has a turn on the hot seat to be bombarded with personal questions from their spouse’s friends and family. Things get a little tense for one couple. Let’s get straight to the recap.
On their first evening together, Mitch is nervous about things being awkward as he struggles to force feelings with Krysten. But as she takes her makeup off and becomes less camera-ready, his mind is put at ease. I don’t understand his obsession with her looks. It was her wedding day for goodness sake. Of course, she is going to be more glammed up because of it. The way he is acting you would think she had Farrah Abraham’s makeup artist. The next morning, the couples chat over breakfast where Krysten learns Mitch is a picky eater. Honestly what isn’t this man picky over? There are so many things that annoy him that he can’t even relax and go with the flow. How dreadful to be matched with a partner who is so in his head about everything.
Mitch then meets with Krysten’s mother and friends, telling them that he’s hoping to be the best version of himself for the marriage. Insert side eye here. Is someone going to tell him he has a lot more to do to reach that goal? Krysten’s people advise him to never lie to her because she has experienced that in past relationships. Meanwhile, Mitch’s family warns her that he can be prideful and too honest. But they don’t want that to deter her from sticking by his side when things get tough.
Miguel meets with Lindy’s family who tell him she can take things personally, but don’t want him to dwell on that. When the topic of sex comes up, things get a bit tense. Lindy’s brother and mother don’t believe they should consummate their relationship until they truly know each other for religious reasons. Lindy doesn’t get a reprieve from the drama because Miguel’s sister and friends have questions of their own. They are particularly concerned about their incompatible astrological signs and Lindy’s student debt. Sigh! If you ask me, both families get a little too involved in topics that should be discussed with the newlyweds first. When Lindy speaks with Miguel later, she tries to ease his mind about her debt. He has been used in his past and doesn’t want to repeat those mistakes. I don’t think Lindy is expecting him to take care of her debt.
Nate raises a bit of a red flag when he calls a side of the bed for himself before even settling into the newlywed suite with Stacia, who is already anxious. Later, they have an in-depth conversation about the importance of communication. He notes that he has a tendency to shut down when things get hard.
Stacia sits down with Nate’s father and friend. She admits that her workaholic lifestyle could become an issue down the line. Stacia’s mom and friends ask Nate about where he stands on consummating the marriage. He says he’s willing to wait until the time is right for both him and his new bride. Things take an emotional turn when they ask about his past. He tears up over his family dynamic, which didn’t really include his mom. I love that when he and Stacia discuss their afternoon, Nate readily admits that he got emotional. Stacia also appreciates that he was comfortable to be open.
It obvious Stacia and Nate are attracted to one another. Their chemistry is undeniable. Nate admits he hopes to consummate their marriage on the honeymoon. This leads to a steamy shower moment with his bride. Be careful Stacia, don’t move too fast. I hope they truly get to know one another before going to the next phase of their relationship. We have seen how rushing into a sex can cause issues later.
Justin’s family and friends tell Alexis to treat him kindly because he can be a very sensitive person. He admits to Alexis’ family that he cries when he gets angry. He isn’t the type to totally lose his cool like others, but he does become emotional. As much as this couple gets along, I think this could become a problem in the future. Alexis is strong and independent and having to manage someone else’s emotions may become draining. Arguments and disagreements are inevitable, but I guess we are going to have to see exactly how this plays out.
When the couples meet up during their honeymoon, Alexis and Justin admit they matched on Hinge prior to getting married. They joke that they could have been happily married independent of the show earlier. Honestly, I don’t think Alexis would have given Justin a chance without this experiment. He doesn’t seem to be her usual type, but his personality and the way treats her is what has sold her on him.
Binh is finally Covid free, so he and Morgan can finally proceed with their wedding. He feels so guilty, he’s willing to treat his bride to a second honeymoon of her choosing for being the reason their wedding is delayed. A nervous Morgan prepares to walk down the aisle alone, since she is not on good terms with her father. While waiting on the ceremony to begin, Morgan receives a book by Pastor Calvin Roberson and her engagement ring. There is a note with his promise to take her on a second honeymoon, which she finds sweet. Binh talks to his mother and hopes she’ll like his bride because her approval is important. When the wedding finally commences, Binh and Morgan greet each other with a hug and smiles as they exchange vows and rings, ending with a kiss. Following their walk down the aisle together, Morgan and Binh get to know each other a little better. Is this a match made in heaven? We will continue to watch to see how this relationship progresses.

Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia probably expected that being co-stars of this season’s The Bachelorette would have its challenges, but it’s turning out to be no bed of roses.
On the July 25th episode, the announcement was made that the men would be divided into two groups (those here for Rachel and those here for Gabby), so that each Bachelorette could focus on developing relationships with those men who are interested in persuing her, as detailed by E! Online.
I think the plan was to avoid more embarrassing revelations like Gabby had experienced on the group date the night before, when at least two men told her they actually preferred Rachel. Hayden Markowitz actually told Gabby that he thought Rachel’s “morals” alligned more closely with his own and that he thought Gabby was a “little rough around the edges.” What?! Who says that? It was no wonder poor Gabby ended the evening in tears.
Meanwhile back at the Rose Ceremony, Gabby and Rachel took turns offering roses to the men, who had the choice of either accepting the rose or admitting they were actually here for the other Bachelorette. What seemed like a sensible plan quickly took a turn, when no less than three of Rachel’s choices admitted they were more attracted to Gabby. And once her rose had been declined, show host Jesse Palmer swooped in and confiscated the refused rose, denying Rachel the opportunity to offer it to another suitor.
Now it was Rachel‘s turn for tears. As she told Gabby, “This was supposed to be us taking the power back. We literally handed it right back to all of them by doing this.”
“I just feel so bad. And so rejected,” Rachel told Gabby.
“This is how I felt last night,” said Gabby referring to her horrible group date experience.
“But [that] was, like, private. This was so embarrassing and public,” Rachel tearfully said. Um, hello? National television, Rachel. Nothing on this show is “private.”
Former Bachelorette Katie Thurston is not having any of it, tweeting, “THIS IS SO F–KING RUDE I HATE THIS.” (My thoughts exactly.)
Katie added in a separate tweet that Gabby shouldn’t let any of these men make her feel bad about herself. “Gabby—you don’t need to be someone’s cup of tea when you’re a shot of whiskey!” Katie encouraged. “Rough around the edges? Find yourself a man who LOVES your boldness.”
Another former Bachelorette contestant Clay Harbor tweeted, “My favorite relationship so far is Gabby and Rachel. They are both pulling for each other regardless of the fact they are forced to compete in a way. Loving this friendship. #TheBachelorette”
And the rest of Bachelor Nation isn’t much happier with situation. As one Twitter user wrote, “It’s okay for the men to prefer one bachelorette over the other, but no need to degrade them and put them down.”
Another fan added, “The stupid thing is that Rachel and Gabby each should’ve had their own group of guys to begin with.”
As disappointing as the episode was, Gabby has previously said that she and Rachel “have no regrets” about the way this season unfolded. “We just both respect each other and love each other so much that we would never, ever want to make the other one feel compromised or like we were competing against each other,” she said. “To me, there was no other way. There was no other option.”
I’m already looking forward to After the Final Rose. I have a feeling Hayden has some heat coming his way for his insensitive treatment of Gabby.
TELL US- WERE YOU SHOCKED BY SOME OF THE MEN’S COMMENTS ABOUT THE WOMEN? DO YOU THINK GABBY IS “ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES?” DO YOU THINK RACHEL’S “PUBLIC” REJECTIONS WERE WORSE THAN GABBY’S “PRIVATE” ONES?

Oh baby! Congratulations are in order for Below Deck Mediterranean alum Jessica More, who recently announced her pregnancy on social media. The Season 5 star was part of Hannah Ferrier’s interior team before the OG chief stew was fired by Captain Sandy Yawn.
Jessica brought a lot of positive energy, and was a team player, both under Hannah and Bugsy Drake, and picked up table-scaping from the latter quite quickly. She caught the eye of deck hand Robert Westergaard and the two started a brooding, passionate love affair onboard. It started unraveling just as quickly as it began, and Robert had a heck of a time deciding whether to follow Jessica to Bali or take part in a transatlantic crossing. Though he decided on Bali, the pair didn’t last on land.
Free-spirited Jessica moved on to live her best life since filming wrapped. She shared some of her journey on social media, from completing a yoga teacher training course in Costa Rica to partying in Tulum, Mexico with Below Deck alums.
Now, to add to her unique journey, Jessica revealed her pregnancy with a set of stunning photos. She is posing poolside in a yellow and orange crochet bikini, her hair up in a messy bun. Baby bump takes center stage. In addition to announcing the pregnancy, the brunette beauty also shared the sex of her baby. Jessica captioned the photo, “I’ve been waiting a long time to be your mommy, Charli. So blessed and excited for this next chapter with my little princess.”
Jessica revealed in the comment section that she has about 9 weeks left in her pregnancy, putting her at the very start of her eighth month and well into the third trimester. It seems the mom-to-be was incredulous at the beginning of her pregnancy, and “took 4 tests” to confirm the news. She chose to keep the identity of Charli’s father private.
Below Deck alum flooded Jessica’s post with words of congratulations and support. Colin Macy-O’Toole wrote, “Congrats girlie!!” Alex Radcliffe, who was on the same season with Jessica, posted, “Secret is out. Funcle.” Chef Kiko Lorran added, “So happy for you my friend.”
Congratulations to Jessica and her family! For those wishing to donate a gift, Jessica shared a baby registry to her Instagram page.

Because we have all the answers to your...In the last episode of The Challenge USA, Big Brother showed up and took control of the game. Kyland Young of Big Brother 23 and Angela Rummons of Big Brother 20 won last week’s challenge, which put them in the driver’s seat. With so many players left in the game, there was no need to target any Big Brother players at this point.
James Wallington from the Amazing Race and Tasha Fox from Survivor lost in the arena, and both were eliminated from the competition. Tonight, another challenge will give a new couple power in the game to choose who will fight to save their game in the arena combat. Big Brother has the best numbers in the game, and let’s hope it stays that way.
This week’s main challenge is called Falling Off the Knowledge. Each couple has been paired together randomly for this challenge. All the couples will stand on a ledge 250 feet above the ground. They will be asked a trivia question. If the couple answers the question incorrectly, they will be plummeting 150 feet straight down.
This game will be played in 3 rounds. The first round will create a winner’s round and a loser’s round. The winning couple will gain power while the losing couple will compete in the arena fighting for their lives in the game.
Unfortunately, David Alexander from Big Brother 21 and Justine Ndiba from Love Island were the losers and are automatically headed to the arena to fight for their lives.
Once again this week, Kyland Young of Big Brother 23 won again this week. His partner was another Big Brother alumni, Alyssa Lopez from Big Brother 23 as well. They will decide who David and Justine will face off against in the arena.
Kyland and Alyssa chose to put David and Justine in the arena with Xavier Prather from Big Brother 23 and Shantel Smith from Survivor 41. It’s official; Big Brother alumni have finally turned on one another, which happened very early in the game. This is most likely revenge for X winning Big Brother 23 against Kyland and Alyssa in the same alliance, the Cookout.
This competition is called Smash In and Puzzle Out. The teams must race to complete a puzzle, but the puzzle pieces are at the end of a tunnel with panes of glass blocking their route. They must bring each puzzle piece out through the tunnel one at a time.
The first team to complete their puzzle stays in the game while the losing team goes home. The stakes are high.
When it was all said and done, Big Brother took out one of their own as X and Shan lost and were eliminated from The Challenge: USA. X gave a searing goodbye message to his fellow Big Brother alum.
Xavier said, “I played Big Brother Season 23, and I backstabbed everyone, and they’re all petty little bit*hes about it. I’m still rich, y’all broke, and y’all are stupid”.
Well said, Xavier, although he seems to be somewhat of a sore loser this time. Now the Big Brother squad on The Challenge: USA is down a member.

Pack your bags for a vacation like you've never had before. Peacock's new comedic thriller The Resort is about to take fans on an unexpected ride that defies genre. Or, as star...There are three words that no Real Housewife ever wants to hear: Get a job. But, that’s the exact advice that Crystal Kung Minkoff is giving to Camille Grammer. Throughout season 12 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the former “Most Hated Housewife” has continued her tried and true tradition of criticizing everything about the show where she once starred. Whether it’s about the storylines, the non-waterproof mascara, or the fake friendships, you can bet that Camille will share her opinion. Usually, the shade goes unchecked, but this time, Crystal decided to hit back against the Beverly Hills OG.
In case you missed it, Camille tweeted some not-so-nice things about Crystal’s sophomore year earlier in the season. “Boring Crystal storyline. Ugh. Reaching for a storyline,” Camille shared to her followers as we all navigated the convoluted story about Crystal’s 14 friends that dumped her and Sutton Stracke’s alleged “dark” comment.
Although Crystal has become known for her low-key presence on the show, she had a clapback stored up and ready to go for Camille. When asked about Camille’s criticism, Crystal suggested that she “get a job.” Queens of Bravo captured the hilarious moment on Instagram, and you can spot Rob Minkoff grinning from ear to ear, watching his wife expertly deliver this shade.
“It’s not my style. I’m a very busy person,” Crystal told the interviewer in response to Camille’s “boring” comment. “So, maybe she should get busier. Get a job. I don’t know.”
On Instagram, where the comments seemed to be overwhelmingly on Crystal’s side, Camille dialed back on her criticism of the RHOBH newbie. “I didn’t say she was boring but the so called ‘dark’ storyline was. Stop stirring,” Camille clarified. “She’s very pretty,” she wrote in a separate comment.
Of course, since the “dark” storyline aired, Crystal’s role on the show has taken on a much more serious tone. In the most recent episode, she bravely revealed how she’s actively struggling with an eating disorder, which is more depth and storyline than most veteran Housewives bring to the show. So, give her a break, Camille!

The Real Housewives of Potomac stars go way back, long before they joined the franchise. But joining Housewives has its pitfalls when it comes to friendships and that has played out masterfully between them on the show.
But the reason I really love their relationship is because they understand the assignment. The two give the show the drama it needs, but continue to hold respect for each other. And I think they have genuine affection for each other too. It would be hard to picture the franchise with one and not the other. While Robyn Dixon is Gizelle’s ride or die, Karen is often Gizelle’s storyline. Notice that her many seasons on the show rarely revolve around anything more interesting than her fighting with the Grande Dame? And that goes for Karen too. I love her, but let’s not pretend that going back to Surry County to ride on the back of a convertible is must-see reality tv.
Now that season 7 of RHOP is upon us, Gizelle is opening up about her longtime frenemy’s vibe this year. As reported by E! News, Gizelle and Robyn talked about it on an episode of their Reasonably Shady podcast. Guest Carlos King, former Real Housewives of Atlanta producer and “King of Reality TV” asked Gizelle who “always brings it.” Gizelle responded, “It changes year after year.” She added, “I can say this—this is a little bit of a spoiler alert for season seven; Andy [Cohen] don’t fire me—Karen brings it this season. Yes, she does.”
Gizelle explained that Karen normally likes to “straddle the fence, not give her opinion [and] kind of play it safe.” But this season? “The Grand Dame does not do that,” said Gizelle. She continued, “She was spilling the tea this season. When does she ever spill tea? She hasn’t spilled tea in seven seasons. I think it’s a different side to her.”
Regardless of the tea she spills, Karen will always be The Grand Dame. And that means she will remain shady until the end. She said last year of her RHOP castmates, “I’m so proud of each and every one of my friends on this show and it also takes the drama from people like Gizz to do what she does without any conscience.” She added, “Well, I hope for Gizz. We gotta hope.”

Or, at least, we’re getting some answers that merely open a pandora’s box of more questions. And it all hinges on the bizarre dynamic happening between Natasha Webb and Chef Dave White. Whom we have now established were in a weird sort of secret relationship before coming aboard M/Y Home. One that seems to be largely controlled by what the chief stew wants. Dave explains via confessional that it was Natasha who said she wanted “time” before admitting everything to the crew and Bravo’s cameras. And came up with the inane parameters to wait a week before spilling the beans.
But the thing is, Dave forced the issue. And now they’re both talking about it in their confessionals. So I don’t know what Natasha‘s actually trying to do here other than keep Dave on a leash. She put him in her cabin to keep him close. She flashes a smile to get what she wants from him. And clearly feels like she has the power to ignore him when she’d rather flirt with, say, Jason Gaskell. Which leads us to…
The crew’s first night out is fraught with underlying tension. Again because of whatever’s going on between Dave and Natasha. She gets upset when she finds out he told the table he wants more from their relationship. And starts worrying that he’s a ticking time bomb. So her solution is to punish him by completely avoiding and ignoring him all night. This happens on her terms, chef, not yours, remember? Dave obviously notices the mutual interest brewing between his secret girlfriend and Jason. And by the time they get back to the boat, she won’t even look his way. So he decides to poke the bear by drunkenly antagonizing the junior deckhand.
The pestering is really over nothing. But it just about leads to a blow-up in the crew mess until Jason retreats to his cabin to avoid throwing hands with Dave. And the strategy doesn’t get the desired response out of Natasha either. Once Dave tells her about his altercation with “[her] boyfriend,” she once again presses the abort button and sneaks off to sleep in the guest cabin for the night while he’s in the shower. The chef ends the night alone in his bunk, sobbing quietly with his back to the camera. This is already a mess.
The next morning, the tension between Dave and Natasha is palpable. He tries to apologize for acting like a fool. But she feeds him the line that she needs to focus on herself. And he comes thisclose to breaking their agreement by pointing out on camera that they can’t even talk about the “real reason” for the awkwardness. Oops. His attempt at apologizing to Jason doesn’t go much better, either. But at least for now, the two are able to shake hands and move on. After all, the second charter is just hours away from beginning.
But that doesn’t stop Dave from attempting to clear the air with Natasha just one more time. He asks if they can talk. She suggests meeting in their cabin. But when he arrives, she’s already in the shower. And what was supposed to be a five minute chat turns into a half hour tryst in the shower. Is this strategic on Natasha’s part so the cameras can’t capture their conversation? Is she just placating Dave with an early morning hookup? Either way, by the time she leaves the bathroom, she’s fully clothed and Dave’s the one in the shower. That’s certainly one way to get around production eavesdropping on secrets you’re trying to keep off-camera.
Raygan Tyler‘s leadership, or lack thereof, also remains a huge problem this week. First, she spends all morning in bed with a hangover. Leaving Jason, Storm Smith, and Mzi Dempers without any clear direction on what needs to get done. By the time she drags herself to the preference sheet meeting, Captain Sandy Yawn is visibly displeased. And even more so when the beleaguered bosun tries to blame her absence on food poisoning. No, sweetie. That’s called a hangover. You were dancing like one of those inflatable men in front of a car dealership last night. And you couldn’t possibly look more unprofessional right now.
The drama continues when it comes time to get all the water toys out for the guests. Which, by the way, was one of the top priorities on their preference sheet. But Raygan‘s “do whatever you want” approach only creates chaos on the swim platform. To the point where Captain Sandy has to come down and help get things organized and in the water. The batteries in the sea bobs are dead. The inflatables take forever to be blown up. The passerelle sits idly on the swim platform when it should be the very first thing in the water. Of course, all this is happening as the guests sit. And wait. And wait. To start enjoying their chartered yacht vacation.
Later that night while Dave is serving the guests twice-cooked octopus, Captain Sandy pulls Mzi aside to get his take on how the deck is operating. And to paraphrase a certain Bravolebrity, “Not well, Captain.” The returning deckhand gives his honest assessment that the problems are his fault. Nor are they Jason‘s or Storm‘s. It’s all Raygan.
The next morning, Captain Sandy calls the bosun to the wheelhouse for what initially sounds like a pep talk. But Raygan doesn’t seem to grasp what dire straits she’s already in. Honey, this isn’t just yachting, it’s reality TV. It’s sink or swim. And you don’t even seem to be able to float. Captain Sandy wants to support her, but the more Raygan digs a hole for herself, the less likely it’ll be that she gets out of it.
TELL US – DO YOU THINK NATASHA IS MANIPULATING DAVE? DID HE HAVE A RIGHT TO BE ANGRY WITH HER ON THEIR NIGHT OUT? WAS THE SHOWER SCENE STRATEGIC ON NATASHA’S PART? HOW MUCH LONGER WILL RAYGAN LAST?

The post Below Deck Mediterranean Recap: An Illicit Boatmance appeared first on Reality Tea.
Southern Charm is firing on all cylinders this season, and the garden party is highlighting that. These are real people with genuine issues, and it’s all boiling over. There’s no escaping anymore. After a long hiatus from filming, people have scores to settle.
The episode kicked off with drama from last week’s episode carrying over into this one. Madison LeCroy knew exactly what she was doing by inviting Kathryn Dennis and Olivia Flowers. Leva Bonaparte was doing a decent job at meditating between Venita Aspen and everyone else. It’s really the only thing she’s done every season.
Venita went too far by bringing up Kathryn’s kids. When will everyone learn not to drag kids into a feud between adults? It doesn’t matter what the context was. You don’t do that. Period.
Kathryn doesn’t understand why she’s being targeted. Leva assured her that she was normal, but it was because of her emotions. So basically, everyone knows they can get a rise out of Kathryn, so she’s an easy target. Call it what it is.
When it doesn’t work out with Kathryn, Venita turns her attention to Oliva. Nobody engaged at the party with Venita. Olivia hasn’t done anything wrong, so it’s a bit confusing as to what Venita’s motives are.
Olivia doesn’t like the word racism thrown out in a conversation involving her. What I didn’t like was Olivia telling Venita she’s not going to “cancel culture” her out of here. If you have done nothing wrong, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Olivia doesn’t know the struggles Venita might’ve gone through or other Black women.
Venita’s desperately trying to have a moment with everyone in this group. I might chalk this up to a newbie trying to find their footing. It still wreaks of desperation though. At the same time, this is Madison’s fault. If Madison didn’t secretly invite Kathryn and Olivia, Venita wouldn’t have been blindsided.
It’s been a fun treat seeing Paige DeSorbo on Southern Charm this season. She and Craig Conover feel like they could be the real deal. Honestly? They might be the only genuine relationship currently in the cast, romantically speaking.
Paige understands group settings as being a place Craig might hang out with Naomie Olindo. However, she is putting the kibosh on Craig having a one-on-one lunch with her. The door is closed on Craig hanging out with Naomie, at least according to Paige.
Craig doesn’t see anything wrong with reconnecting with his ex on that sort of personal level. He must tread lightly if he wants his relationship with Paige. Is being buddies with Naomie that important to him?
On the boys’ trip with Shep Rose and Austen Kroll, Craig phones Paige, and you can tell how much he misses her. He wants to tell her that he loves her, but he didn’t say it.
Olivia is out of her mind if she is serious about pursuing a relationship with Austen. Has she never seen the show she’s on? He has a horrendous history with women, and history says this won’t end any differently.
Austen spent the entire “date” with Olivia talking about Madison. She wants to connect with this man, and all he’s doing is rambling about Madison’s current happenings. If he’s still hung-up on Madison, he needs to let Olivia find someone else. If he’s not over Madison, it’s not fair to Olivia.
Olivia had to sit through an awkward conversation about their status as a couple as well. These two are just getting to know one another. There isn’t a need to throw a label on something that’s still in its infancy stage.
Olivia played the thing really cool in comparison to how many would. Most people wouldn’t sit through while someone pines over their ex and fumbles through a conversation about status. Hopefully, he gets over himself soon and doesn’t string her along for too long.
Shep, Craig, and Austen have unmatched chemistry. Whether you find them likable or not is irrelevant because scenes with all three guys DELIVER. Their banter is hilarious.
The writing is on the wall for the end of Shep and Taylor Ann Green’s relationship. We all know by now that they’ve split, but this episode has to play a pivotal role in them calling it quits.
The meeting is more about helping Austen’s parents with the sale of his childhood home. This is also a mega business opportunity for Austen and his brand.
Shoutout to Austen for ignoring everyone who consistently doubts him. He’s managed to throw all of that to the wayside and build a brand for himself.
Shep is so fucking awful. During the trip, he calls Taylor, and a wild moment happens. When Shep tells Taylor that he’s going to bars in Charlotte, her paranoia peaks. He leaves the room off camera and tells her he’s not going to stop going places.
To make things worse, Shep tries gaslighting Taylor by accusing her of drinking. Way to project! Taylor has reason to be worried. If Shep didn’t on her in the first place, she wouldn’t be worried about his actions out of town.
Even Austen and Craig understand that Taylor has good reason to be concerned. Despite what Shep might want everyone to think, Taylor’s not insane. She doesn’t want her heart broken.
Craig says Shep’s not cut out to be a relationship guy. The whole thing is really sad to watch because everyone knows how this is going to end. He’s going back to his old ways. That’s if he ever changed in the first place.
A drunk Craig says Shep’s worried about Taylor finding out more. There’s more than that one kiss apparently. I can’t say I’m surprised to learn any of that.
The episode ends with Shep being a sleazeball and buying another woman a drink. Here we go. This likely explains so much about the downfall of their relationship.
TELL US – DID SHEP’S ACTIONS SURPRISE YOU? TEAM VENITA OR TEAM OLIVIA? DO YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF THE NEWBIES?
