Be on the lookout for suspicious red balloons. HBO Max is developing a series based on It, which would feature the origin story of Pennywise the Clown, according to Variety....If I’m being perfectly honest, the drama on Real Housewives of Orange County this season has been lukewarm at best. Noella Bergener and Heather Durbow fighting over pride cards? Dr. Jen Armstrong hosting a brain scanning event while her marriage to Ryan/Ryne Holliday falls apart? Gina Kirschenheiter trying to throw Shannon Beador under the bus for identifying Nicole James as someone who sued Terry Dubrow? YAWN. Is it wrong that I wanted to hear more about the botched boob job?
But speaking of Gina, her grudge with Shannon didn’t seem to end there. The two have spent the last few episodes going after each other. The reason? Gina believes that Shannon is jealous of her. And more specifically, her new skincare line, CaraGala. Side note – if you were wondering where the odd name of her skincare line came from, feel free to follow this link and scroll down. It’s a doozy! But I digress. On the latest episode of RHOC, things between Gina and Shannon came to a head. The two fought and Shannon walked away with her usual stunned expression. She then went to complain to her boyfriend, John Janssen. John’s reaction was….strong, to say the least. And Gina wasn’t here for it.
As reported by Reality Blurb, Gina called John “inappropriate” and “very aggressive” on a recent Watch What Happens Live appearance. Gina stated, “It’s inappropriate. I understand you’re there to support someone but I feel like he didn’t even know the other side of that conversation. And your partner’s role as a supportive person is to get you out of the situation and maybe have a private conversion at home. It was very aggressive and I didn’t like it.” She added, “It should be the goal to try to make it better and I feel like he was making it worse.”
Dr. Jen, who appeared on WWHL next to Gina, agreed. Said Jen, “I didn’t like that he attacked you. That’s not his place. The conversation was between you and Shannon. [You] shouldn’t have your partner to come in and attack the other person.”
As for whether or not Shannon is jealous of Gina, she has no doubt. Gina asserted, “I didn’t assume it. I saw it on her face. Everyone was excited for me and she wasn’t. I think she needs to work on her expressions. Because what you put out is what we receive and that’s the problem.”
TELL US – DO YOU THINK JOHN WAS TOO AGGRESSIVE? SHOULD JOHN HAVE STAYED OUT OF IT? IS SHANNON JEALOUS OF GINA? AM I BEING TOO CRITICAL OF THIS SEASON OF RHOC?

Warning: The below features spoilers for season two of Bridgerton. There's no denying that Simone Ashley is the diamond of Bridgerton season two. But, as Regé-Jean Page...Real Housewives of New Jersey started off with a real bang this season. Margaret Josephs opened up the vault and exposed Jennifer Aydin’s secret. Her husband, Bill Aydin, cheated on her 10 years earlier while she was pregnant. Margaret put her on blast because she was tired of Jennifer being a hypocrite. Of course, RHONJ viewers know that Jennifer repeatedly slut-shamed Margaret. Still, Jennifer never told anyone about Bill’s affair.
During the most recent episode of RHONJ, Teresa Giudice went to the treescape activity ready to throw down. She was angry that Margaret revealed Jennifer’s secret. Teresa was also angry that her co-stars still had questions about her fiancé, Luis “Louie” Ruelas. There was that strange video. And allegations in Louie’s past of “controlling and abusive behavior” by an ex-fiancée.
Of course, Jackie Goldschneider felt that karma was coming back to bite Teresa. “Teresa clearly spread a rumor [about me and my family] and now there’s a barrage of rumors about the person that she loves.” During Season 11 of RHONJ, Teresa repeated a rumor that Jackie’s husband, Evan Goldschneider, was cheating on her. Jackie fired back with an analogy that Gia Giudice, Teresa’s daughter, was doing drugs in the bathroom at parties.
Teresa was pissed about Jackie’s analogy. The bride-to-be also claimed that she heard about the infidelity whispers from a cast member. At the reunion, Jennifer alleged that Margaret was the source of the Evan cheating rumor.
Teresa considers herself “the Tom Brady of Housewives,” and she refused to accept responsibility for the damage that she caused by spreading the affair rumor. The gossip strained Jackie and Evan’s relationship. Teresa claimed that she told Jackie the information because she wanted to help her stop the gossip. Please, girl.
Jennifer admitted that she tried to find out information about Evan’s supposed affair by asking Frank Catania, Dolores Catania’s ex-husband. Teresa finally copped to asking Jennifer to work the phones to dig up dirt on Evan. Frank made it abundantly clear that he doesn’t believe that Evan strayed.
According to RealityBlurb!, Jackie dissected Teresa’s twisted logic on the RHONJ: After Show. When Jackie was asked if Teresa’s criticism of Margaret for revealing Bill’s indiscretion made sense in light of all the drama that Teresa and Jennifer had stirred up, Jackie replied, “The answer is no.” Okay then.
“Teresa’s logic is totally… it makes absolutely no sense. She’s just trying to make what she did last year, which was so vile, seem okay,” Jackie explained. “And anything she can say to make Margaret the bad guy and make her and Jennifer in the clear Teresa will say it, whether it makes sense or not.” Jackie added, “She thinks if she yells it enough, or she says it forcefully enough, that it’s going to make it true.”
Margaret also weighed in on Teresa’s inability to differentiate between truth and fiction. “The whole point was one happens to be a rumor and one happens to be a fact,” she commented. “Some people in this friend group don’t know how to do comparisons and or analogies because they compare things that aren’t even in the same realm, and that’s the difference.”
TELL US- IS TERESA’S LOGIC SKEWED? SHOULD JACKIE FORGIVE TERESA? WILL TERESA EVER ADMIT THAT SHE IS WRONG?

Last week’s episode of Summer House was so chaotic, that I couldn’t even cover it properly. My apologies, Good Vibe Tribe. But I’m back again to recap the fallout of Austen Kroll‘s dramatic trip to the Hamptons and all the residual drama that came with it. Though at the top of this week’s episode, the Charleston frat boy has yet to leave the building. Not that he’s in bed with Lindsay Hubbard. No, no. Because she happened to take home a random guy from the club as a birthday gift to herself. A fact which basically the entire house is baffled to discover upon waking up the next morning. Besides Danielle Olivera and Robert Sieber. It’s all very twisted and scandalous.
Ciara Miller wakes up still angry and hurt by both Austen and Lindsay. And was all the drama worth it for Hurricane Hubbard just to end up having loud morning sex with someone who’s definitely not Austen? However, Lindsay really couldn’t care less about hurting Ciara’s feelings. And neither, it seems, could Austen, who approaches his Winter House flame like nothing even happened the night before. Ok, bro…This weekend just needs to be over. But Ciara can’t help letting a few tears fall as she packs. The Charm-er turned out to be nothing but a manipulative disappointment.
Meanwhile, there is one other topic that needs to be discussed before the roomies can head back to New York City. And that’s a pre-nup between Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula. Kyle’s been putting the topic off for a couple of episodes now. But with the wedding less than six weeks away, it’s time to rip the band-aid off. He blames even bringing up the subject on Loverboy’s investors. Apparently, these off-camera moneymen just want to know if he’s open to signing a pre-nup. But it’s something that Amanda’s never considered before. And hasn’t Kyle had, I don’t know, three years to put this on the table? Wisely, she states via confessional that she’s not signing a thing if it’s not in her best interest. And they table the discussion for, presumably, yet another date even closer to their walk down the aisle.
This week, we’re also treated to a few scenes of life in the city. Most importantly, Mya Allen‘s mid-week date with Oliver, the guy Danielle set her up with at Lindsay‘s birthday party. Coming off a five-year engagement, Mya hasn’t been on a first date in more than half a decade. So she’s nervous on the most relatable level. But, as all the fans surely recognize by now, the newbie is undoubtedly one of the good ones. And she easily charms the handsome non-profit founder. Even if she’s left questioning whether they can possibly eat together after he expresses a distaste for all white condiments — sour cream included!
Meanwhile, Paige DeSorbo invites Ciara and Amanda over to her apartment for some rooftop smoothies, pastries, and good old-fashioned gossip with Empire State Building views. It turns out, Austen‘s still partying it up in the city. But has gone radio silent when it comes to Ciara. Which is honestly just gross and rude f–kboy behavior that she should not have to put up with for a single second. At the very least, he owes her a massive and sincere apology. But she’s definitely not going to get one.
Paige points out that the onus for the past weekend’s drama obviously lies on Austen‘s shoulders. But Lindsay‘s very nearly just as much to blame. I mean, didn’t she tell Ciara “woman to woman” a few weeks ago that there was absolutely nothing going on with her and the Southern Charm-er? It’s shady behavior at best, downright cruel at worst. And there’s definitely going to be a confrontation about it once the weekend rolls around.
The weekend arrives and, thankfully, we get to trade Austen for a visit from Craig Conover. On the drive out, he asks Paige to consider coming to Delaware to meet his parents. Which is definitely something he should only be doing with, you know, an exclusive, serious girlfriend. But maybe it’s one step closer to the two making it official? (They have to by the end of the season, right?) Though considering what happened last time he brought another Bravolebrity to his hometown — think way back to Southern Charm Season 2 — things did not go well. But in Paige’s words, he’s obsessed with her, he loves her, he wants to marry her…
For the first night of the weekend, Andrea Denver is in charge of festivities. And he’s planned an entire Italian dinner to celebrate the holiday of Ferragosto. It’s actually so sweet seeing him lovingly and diligently prep in the kitchen with a chef’s hat on to bring his roommates a piece of his home country. Poor Andrea also happens to be quite homesick and lonely, which he confesses to Carl Radke and Luke Gulbranson. So the feast will hopefully also help him feel connected to his family. Whom he hasn’t been able to see because of COVID’s effect on international travel. Oh, and in case you missed it, Hurricane Henry also happens to be bearing down on the Hamptons this weekend.
The first thing Danielle does upon arriving at the house is pull Mya outside for a debrief about her date. The latter has kept up communication with Oliver since Wednesday. And there’s definitely potential. But the chat gets interrupted by Lindsay, and Mya seizes the chance to question her about the Ciara and Austen of it all. Surprise! Lindsay doesn’t feel one bit guilty for how she acted on her birthday. And even has the audacity to claim Ciara should’ve come and talked to her about how she was feeling. (Cut to footage of Ciara doing just that and Lindsay refusing to talk.) Inside, Craig can’t help but get a dig in at Lindsay’s expense as she tries to feed him the birthday fairytale that was her and Austen. And I quote, “Sounds a little bit different than Vermont…when he, like, didn’t give you any attention.” [pops champagne] Craigy, you’re my hero.
Soon enough, dinner is served and Andrea gathers all the roommates (and Craig) for a night of red wine and talk about love. (Speaking of love, I didn’t think it was possible to be more in love with Carl than I already was. And then he walked into the kitchen wearing that adorable pasta shirt. Marry me, ‘Lito.) The Italian model asks all his friends to go around the table and talk about their idea of love.
Naturally, Lindsay‘s has four pillars. And probably a timeline secretly written down somewhere. But when it’s Andrea’s own turn, he starts getting teary-eyed. Not only does he miss his family back in Italy, he’s also nursing heartbreak over a girl he dated after Paige, but before the summer began. Apparently the prospect of getting back together with Paige made him break things off with the other girl. And now that she’s effectively chosen Craig, he’s left alone. Poor, sweet Andrea.
By the time it’s Ciara‘s turn, she’s ready to unleash her inner Italian on Lindsay. Since she has the floor, she lays into HubbHouse over how she was treated the weekend before, listing out all the ways people give Lindsay a pass for her terrible behavior by claiming it’s just who she is. And honestly? Ciara’s not wrong. I’ve long considered Lindsay the most selfish and chaotic person in the house, and it’s validating to hear someone call that something other than “queen behavior” on social media.
Naturally, Lindsay takes no accountability for hurting Ciara. She even goes as far as to claim she didn’t even know Ciara was excited for Austen to come to the house. And dismisses their fling in Vermont as so, totally, like, five months ago. The conversation escalates as Danielle jumps in to defend Lindsay. And over at the other end of the table, poor Andrea is breaking down in tears. To the point that Luke has to take him outside and let him cry it out. But back to the conflict at hand. Ciara feels completely dismissed and disregarded. And it’s all coming to the surface now. She even goes as far as accusing Lindsay of “isolating her victims in order to be affectionate with them.”
Lindsay fires back through a smug smile that she wasn’t even thinking about Ciara during her birthday weekend with Austen. Which on one hand, I sort of believe. On the other, I think she knew exactly what she was doing and wanted to rub it in Ciara’s face. At this point, Craig jumps in to defend Ciara, revealing that even he’s mad at his bestie for his behavior in the house. And then, somehow, the conflict takes a sharp left turn and Ciara and Danielle are now screaming at each other. Ciara stands up. Danielle follows suit. And next thing you know, wine is being thrown across the table and the dinner has exploded into pandemonium…
TELL US – SHOULD KYLE AND AMANDA SIGN A PRE-NUP? HOW DID MYA DO ON HER FIRST DATE? DO YOU FEEL FOR ANDREA? WAS LINDSAY TRYING TO RUB HER RELATIONSHIP WITH AUSTEN IN CIARA’S FACE? ARE YOU TEAM LINDSAY/DANIELLE OR TEAM CIARA?
