Love Is Blind’s Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee Thinks Former Fiance Deepti Vempati And Kyle Abrams Are Just Hanging Out For Clout

Love is Blind is long over but the drama between the cast and former fiancé’s continues. The emerging villain from all this is Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee. His social media and interviews about former fiancé Deepti Vempati are giving me whiplash to be honest. After the show ended, Shake continued his quest of being a jerk by refusing to apologize for his actions. Then he did just that, apologizing publicly to Deepti. He went on to call cohost Nick Lachey a “twat” because of how he treated Shake at the reunion. As if that wasn’t enough, Shake then debuted a new girlfriend, which no one really seemed to care about. So what’s his problem now? The budding relationship between Deepti and Kyle Abrams, their former castmate.

Deepti and Kyle have been spotted together, sparking rumors of a relationship. In fact, Kyle even admitted at the reunion that he messed up when it came to Deepti. He revealed, “Biggest regret is I should have asked Deepti to marry me. That’s what I learned the most. I f—ked up. I should have tried harder for you. I love her so much, she’s the best. And I wish I saw what was right in front of me and that’s my biggest regret. I’m sorry.” Deepti has since admitted that they are “figuring it out.”

Now here comes Shake with his negative attitude. As reported by Us Weekly, Shake is not buying the relationship between his former castmates. A source explained, “Shake would give Kyle and Deepti his blessing and would genuinely be happy for them if it were true that they were dating. But, he thinks it’s a fake relationship.” And why would Deepti and Kyle need Shake’s blessing? They continued, “He’s known them as being friends and not having a sexual relationship. He feels like they’re both using each other to get more clout and are milking the whole ‘are we dating, are we not dating?’ He finds it distasteful and sad.”

So it’s not shocking that Deepti and Shake continue to be on bad terms. The insider went on, “Shake hasn’t spoken to Deepti since the reunion, apart from some texts back and forth following the reunion. He questions why she stayed with him until the end if everyone kept telling her all these horrible things about him.” They added that Shake believes Deepti is playing “the victim card.”

The source also disclosed about Shake, “He feels like he doesn’t owe [Deepti] anything including an explanation and that she should move on because it’s been a year since they were together. She’s not relevant in his life anymore. Because he’s already apologized for hurting her, he feels like he doesn’t owe her anything anymore and she should stop talking about him to the public.”

In addition, the insider said that Shake isn’t in contact with any of his former Love is Blind castmates. All because they “chose to align with Deepti.” The source concluded, “He was friends with them when it was being filmed but once the show came out, everything changed. He feels like the cast chose what was best for their image.”

Traci Johnson Says That Teresa Giudice’s “Bark Is A Lot Worse Than Her Bite”

Real Housewives of New Jersey newbie Traci Johnson hasn’t been shy about sharing her opinion of Teresa Giudice. During the Season 12 premiere, Traci and her husband, Tiki Barber, had dinner with Melissa Gorga and her husband, Joe Gorga. Traci immediately questioned Teresa’s relationship with her fiancé, Luis “Louie” Ruelas and that strange video that he was in.

The RHONJ cast was confused by the video. Margaret Josephs led the charge to get answers, which annoyed Teresa.

At the Jersey Shore, a long-simmering feud between Melissa and Jennifer Aydin exploded. Jennifer called Joe “a little bitch,” and Melissa charged at Jennifer. Teresa seemed unfazed.

Joe was upset that his sister, Teresa, didn’t have his back. In fact, Teresa sided with Jennifer and claimed that the argument was Melissa’s fault because Melissa’s started the social media squabble.

Traci was shocked by Teresa’s actions and called Teresa “hypocritical” for the way that she treated her brother. Get used to it, girl.

At boys’ night, Tiki asked Louie about rumors that he was abusive to a woman in his past. Louie said there was no violence and told some crazy story about his ex-fiancée being really thirsty.
Naturally, Teresa was table-flipping furious when she found out that Tiki was quizzing Louie. “Usually, guys don’t do their woman’s dirty work,” Teresa remarked.

Traci told Entertainment Tonight that dealing with Teresa is tricky. “It’s like a Teresa tornado blows in; you never know, just as in a tornado, what kind of weather you’re going to really get,” Traci explained. “She can definitely shock you with things she says.”

The freshman cast member continued, “There’s some moments that leave me scratching my head going, ‘did she really just say that to me?’ But you just have to be ready for all of it and realize her bark is a lot worse than her bite most of the time.” Traci added, “She can come off as very loud, but it’s usually not that harmful.” Oh, Teresa will love that. Traci truly isn’t afraid of the Jersey “OG.”

At the treescape ropes course, Teresa came in hot. She refused to partner with Traci for the activity, and instead Teresa slammed Traci for having Tiki ask Louie questions. “You cannot be mad at me for something my husband said,” Traci stated. “I am not Tiki’s keeper. I never tell him what to do — nor would he tell me what to do.”

Traci remarked, “I’m sure, 100 percent, he’s heard me talking with all the other girls about these Louie videos and allegations that have arisen in the past. I think he just was like, well, I really wonder what’s going on?” One of the Jersey husbands needed to step up and ask the awkward questions. “So, the fact that she’s annoyed at me for something my husband did is ridiculous, but pretty typical of Teresa,” Traci commented.

When Tiki mentioned Louie’s concerning history at boys’ night, he said that “my wife” was in his ear about the allegations. “I was asking him. I was asking Joe Gorga. I was asking everyone like, what is with these videos? They’re bizarre,” Traci explained. “What’s with these allegations that keep being popped up on Instagram all the time from these various outlets? I think Tiki finally was like, well, stop asking me, stop asking Joe. Ask the source.”

Traci added, “I think she should honestly be happy that Louie had a chance to tell his side of the story.” Unfortunately, none of Louie’s explanations make sense.

Survivor 42 Episode 4 Recap: What Goes Around

After that zany, chaotic Tribal Council last week, things seemed to calm back down this week on Survivor. We were treated to a fairly straight-forward episode, one that was perhaps this season’s weakest to date. That’s OK, given the strength of the previous three! But there were no huge developments and no fireworks to speak of at Tribal Council, ending in an elimination that was eyebrow-raising if you consider where the tribe was at to begin the episode, but not all that surprising considering where things went during the course of the hour.

The episode began with the fallout and aftermath from that crazy Tribal that had sent Jenny home after her tribe had nearly gone to rocks. Daniel all but imploded, and when returning to camp it was clear that his head was still spinning. Chanelle tried to salvage the little bit of her game that remained after Daniel threw most of it under the bus, but it was Hai that really seemed to make the most of the situation. Still close with Lydia, Hai ceased this moment back at camp to bring Mike into the fold…Mike was left shell-shocked after Jenny was sent packing, but does he really want to align himself with the sinking ship that is Daniel/Chanelle? Teaming with Hai and Lydia – who mutually need Mike – the three will have the majority and can now decide who is the bigger threat: Daniel or Chanelle, should they go back to Tribal Council.

A Reward Challenge gave Jonathan another chance to show his dominance as a competitor, but a slip of the tongue ended up rubbing his tribemates the wrong way. When asked after the challenge about how they performed, Jonathan mentioned something about how amazingly tight their four are, referring to himself, Maryanne, Omar and Lindsay. He didn’t necessarily want to paint a target on them as a foursome, but he did just that. But let’s be real: Jonathan has already proven himself to be a major threat, and a massive target. So this might all be more of a big deal for Omar and Maryanne than for Jonathan, but we shall see if this has any long-term effects as the season progresses.

Beyond that, all of the drama this week occurred at the Blue Tribe, where Tori was solidly on the bottom. But just like she did to avoid getting her torch snuffed in the premiere episode, she is proving to be a real survivor, with a strong enough social game that continues to save her skin when her back is against the wall. Swati and Tori seemed close, and Swati was beginning to see Drea as a major threat…heck, Drea has an extra vote and seems to be in a comfy spot on the tribe. Swati calculates that if they can bring in Rocksroy, they can blindside Drea. But they underestimate Rocksroy’s loyalty, and even though they divulge to him that Drea is packing an extra vote advantage (something he did not yet know), things end up going sideways when they all start to compare notes. As it turns out, Romeo, Rocksroy, Tori and Drea had all been told by Swati that they are her “number one.”  Uh oh. So even though Tori had clearly been the most untrustworthy player of the bunch, all eyes were on Swati. Romeo said it the clearest when he pointed out that although Swati is very young, she is playing very hard socially.

Once they had a reason to vote Swati out, Swati could do very little to save herself…although she tried. Although Rocksroy ended up voting for Tori and not Swati, the others all cast their vote on Swati. Swati must have known that she was in big trouble, because she sacrificed her vote to play her “shot in the dark” which could have saved her. However, there has yet to be a successful “shot” taken in Survivor history, and when Jeff Probst revealed that Swati’s shot had indeed failed, her fate was sealed.

I think we’re just one episode removed from a tribe swap of some kind, or at least it feels overdue? It seems like forever ago when tribes would so evenly be divided…even though Jonathan‘s tribe has dominated, the fact that there have been three tribes thus far have yielded a good mix of tribes at Tribal Council from week to week. The tribes now stand at 5-4-4, so the question also stands: Will there even be a tribe swap? Or are we going to just go straight into the merge? The merge often happens at 12, and next week’s preview did not indicate any sort of “drop your buffs” situation. As I think about it, it’s unlikely they would swap the following week for just one week. So maybe because the tribe’s have been so evenly divided thus far, this allows them to just keep three tribes until merge?  I guess we shall see!

One other quick Survivor note: It was announced today that the THREE-HOUR Finale of Survivor 42 is set for Wednesday, May 25th, so mark your calendars!

Episode Take-Away: A bit of a ho-hum episode, where we weren’t given anything too shocking or, frankly, memorable. Poor Maryanne keeps looking a fool at the Immunity Challenge, having to say her silly phrase but without the other tribes jumping in on the fun. I am really liking Jonathan and his impressive competitiveness, but I’m getting vibes that he’s way too nice of a guy to make it to the end…although I would be all about watching him win every single Individual Immunity Challenge on his way to the million dollar prize. Wouldn’t that be fun? He floated the idea this episode that he’s the perfect shield, but does anybody want to risk going up against him down the stretch? A final word on Swati: She was likable enough and was clearly a strong player, but proves once again that this game is even more challenging for younger players…life experience becomes a major asset in the game of Survivor, and that’s just something that a 20-year-old just can’t bring enough of. It’s possible her tribe votes out Rocksroy next should they return to Tribal, as I wouldn’t put it past Tori to sneak by yet again. And although she’s been playing from the bottom, look out for her come merge: She is a savvy social player that will not be first on many people’s radars, and she has no real alliance or loyalty, making her an attractive extra vote for all of the other alliances post-merge. She is definitely one to watch.

  • Maryanne – 1 Extra Vote, Beware Advantage (currently cannot vote until three-way Idol is activated)
  • Mike – Beware Advantage (currently cannot vote until three-way Idol is activated)

Next Week’s Episode: Rocksroy feels alone and starts to question the strength of his social game. Is there a rift forming between Jonathan and Maryanne? And Daniel seems to still have a big target on his back.

Below Deck Down Under Producers Sued For 9 Million Dollars In Damage To The Yacht

Below deck viewers have always wondered what happens if, and when, a vessel crashes. For season’s we’ve been teased, with crew and editing working together to making you feel that with every ‘pull in’ and ‘out’ of a marina, an accident could happen; it was almost just a matter of when. Now thanks to its newest spin off, Below Deck Down Under we are getting some insight as to who could foot the bill when one of these superyachts sustains significant damage, and, it’s messy to say the least.

Starcasm reports, the Bravo reality show producers, Mountain View Productions LLC, are being sued by the owners of the Thalassa yacht for over $9 million in damages. I suppose, it was foolish to think it was as easy as yacht insurance?

The 55 foot yacht’s actual name is M/Y Kery Lee III and owned by Australian couple Trevor Lee, a Australian beef entrepreneur and Kery Craig- Lee, a fashion designer. Via their company Keri Lee Charters Pty Ltd (KLC), they are suing MVP, alleging that the vessel was damaged during a Below Deck charter.

Unfortunately for us, the lawsuit is being managed in April by an independent arbitrator and will not be made public. There is however the initial legal dispute as to whether the production company could subpoena the companies that inspected the yacht before and after the damage. Those documents are public and revealed some clues about what could be going on in the lawsuit.

The documents detail that Keri Lee Charters Pty Ltd (KLC) alleges 12.85 million in damages occurred during a May charter. The timing supports their case, as filming happened during the months of May to June in 2021. As for what was damaged, it appears the keel may have been affected as it is noted in the documents, the “keel of the vessel was laid in November 1998 and it was launched in 2002”.

The documents also discuss the paint job on the hull noting, “The vessel was most recently refurbished in 2020. Although the points of claim say that the refurbishment was ‘in or about late 2020 and early 2021’, the on hire survey report records that various areas of the hull paint (exterior) were newly applied in September 2020. I infer that that is likely to have occurred near the end of the refurbishment rather than at the commencement. In order to cover the refurbishment and the lead up to it, I consider that it is justified to require production of the categories of documents sought by items 4 and 5 of the schedule from 1 January 2020.” The judge ruled in the favor of MVP, giving them the ability to subpoena the companies involved in the inspections.

As for the crew, it is not clear who was manning the vessel during the time the damage occurred. For Captain Jason Chambers‘ part, this would not be the first time he’s had to batten down the hatches while sailing. As the captain explained on the show, he once crashed into a marina with a similar sized superyacht, though thankfully no one was hurt. Video footage of the crash shows the harrowing moment where vessel Moatize malfunctioned and was strategically steered by Captain Sinbad Jason to avoid a restaurant trawler with people on it. We have a crush, can you tell?

It’s evident this captain is experienced, as he needs to be. Already on the new spin off, viewers have seen the crew navigating some tricky waters. It’s interesting how the different Below Deck spin offs explain the nuances of their environment and Down Under, is no different, treating viewers to the thrill of a more piratey sailing experience. Captain and crew are often referencing the challenges of maneuvering the difficult Australian waters. One of the marinas they frequent, Airle Beach’s Coral Sea Marina, has such extreme tides that at times, it is inaccessible by the superyacht. The waters are also filled with reefs, posing their own unique risks to the team.

If, as their mention in the court documents implies, the Hull and Keel of Thalassa were damaged, from recent knowledge gained from Below deck Sailing Yacht, it sounds like they potentially ran aground. According to Captain Glenn Shephard, this can be even worse than crashing into a dock.

Interestingly enough however, no footage of such a disaster has been teased in any way on the show. It is possible they could surprise us but Bravo editors run a tight ship, pardon the pun. If something of this magnitude happened is there really a chance it wasn’t filmed or that they wouldn’t tease about it in the season trailer to ensure momentum for the season’s start?

This, along with no noted mention of footage in the court documents, has me worried we may never see the 12-million-dollar drama unfold. Guess we will have to wait and sea.

TELL US- DO YOU THINK WE WILL SEE A CRASH OF SOME SORT? ARE YOU ENJOYING BELOW DECK DOWN UNDER SO FAR?
