Claire Foy as a British noble making headlines in the 1960s? No, we aren't talking about The Crown. But we can understand why you'd go there--and so does Foy. "There are some...Season 5 of Selling Sunset is right around the corner, and this season is about to be bigger than ever. Everything is elevated this season — the houses, the egos, and the drama. In fact, there’s so much happening this time around that for the first time ever, they’re filming a reunion special.
E! News revealed all the details about the upcoming Selling Sunset reunion, which is set to film on April 24, just two days after the season 5 premiere. Although this reunion seems like the perfect gig for Andy Cohen, he must have been busy that day because Tan France, the fashion expert from Queer Eye, will host Selling Sunset’s first-ever reunion. Of course, we’re used to seeing Tan do the feel-good makeovers on Queer Eye. So we’ll have to see if he has what it takes to ask all of the burning, juicy questions that we expect from a reality TV reunion.
Either way, there should be plenty to discuss at the season 5 reunion. This season, we have Mary Fitzgerald stepping up into her new position as a manager in the office, and surprise, surprise, she’s workplace beefing with Christine Quinn. In the season 5 trailer, Mary warns Christine that she needs to stop “disrespecting the other agents” if she wants a future in the Oppenheim office. Meanwhile, Christine buddies up with the newest cast member, Chelsea Lazkani, and the pair seem keen on becoming the untried queen bees of the office.
Perhaps the most significant thing to chat about at the reunion is the love affair between Chrishell Stause and Jason Oppenheim. The two had a whirlwind romance last year splitting up at the end of 2021. Although it didn’t work out in the long run, having a showmance with the boss caused some friction with the other agents, and they’re going to have to talk about it at this reunion.
With Selling Sunset greenlit for at least two more seasons and its two spinoffs underway, it will be interesting to see if the end of the season reunion becomes a franchise staple or just a one-off for when there’s a lot of drama to discuss. Let’s see how it goes!

Even Jessica Simpson can admit that "Is this chicken that I have, or is this fish?" was TV gold. Asked about her and then-husband Nick Lachey's two-year stint on Newlyweds:...
Natasha Lyonne has been around long enough to know a liar when she sees one. When the star and co-creator of Netflix's Russian Doll needed somebody to play a significant role in the...Love and (cold) coffee. Ashley Darby has been a staple of Real Housewives of Potomac since the beginning. Smart, cunning and as shady as they come, Ashley quickly polarized fans. But one thing everyone seemed to agree on was that her husband, Michael Darby, was the worst. Already married, they came as a packaged deal going into the show. But by the end of the first season, Ashley already had to defend him against talks of inappropriate behavior.
Throughout their marriage, Ashley would continue to stand by Michael many times. They stuck together through his multiple cheating scandals. She even stuck by him when he was charged with allegedly assaulting an RHOP cameraman during filming. The charges were ultimately dropped, but the damage was done. The cast didn’t want anything to do with him. Still, Ashley persisted and they had two kids together.
Now it looks like Ashley is finally ready to move on. She confirmed her split with Michael in a statement to Bravo’s The Daily Dish. Ashley began, “Almost eight years ago, when Michael and I said ‘I do,’ we anticipated sharing every single day together from that moment forward. Unfortunately, that is not our current reality. We have decided to separate.”
She continued, “We are aware that there will be many speculative views as to why we have made this decision. People will be quick to assume that the causes were too much intrusion by reality TV into the most personal parts of our lives, age gap issues, cultural problems, or child-rearing differences. Pieces of all these may have affected our pure love for each other, but no one reason is the root cause of our mutual decision to go our separate ways.”
Ashley explained, “We are now both at very different stages in our lives and have different goals for our futures. We both want the other to achieve true happiness and fulfillment and feel that we cannot do this together.” She went on to discuss their children. Said Ashley, “While our romantic bond is broken, we will always love and respect each other. We also know that true happiness can only be achieved by continuing to work together and putting our hearts and souls into raising our two beautiful boys, Dean and Dylan. They will always feel loved and supported, for they were truly created out of love.”
Ashley then concluded, “As this is a personal matter for us, we appreciate everyone who has been a part of our journey and ask for your continued support by respecting us as we go through this emotional situation.”
So was our girl playing the long game this whole time? Ashley’s staunch support of Michael against cast and fan criticism seemed limitless at times. But she openly discussed the possibility of things not working out a few times on the show. Ashley even previously stated of their marriage, “I am optimistic that we can overcome these hurdles and be stronger in the end, but even if we can’t recover and decide to part ways, I will always cherish him.”

Teresa Giudice and Margaret Josephs’ feud has received new levels of chaos. Tre went from 0 to 100 when she threw the entire table (basically) at Marge’s face. I understand she doesn’t want Marge in her business, but there need to be lines when it comes to physical contact.
Frank Catania doesn’t think anything Marge has done is bad. He doesn’t think it’s unusual to want answers to questions. I can see where he’s coming from because she’s not creating these topics out of thin air. She’s only discussing things that are already circulating in the press about Louie Ruelas.
Marge thinks Teresa owes her an apology, but good luck getting one. Tre’s coming in hot. That’s what she always does. She’s going to be at the next dinner which is crazy after how the other one ended.
Jennifer Aydin wants to know what Marge can’t just acknowledge that it bothers Tre that she’s asking questions. There’s a double standard though. Tre can say whatever she wants and dig up dirt, but nobody else can? That’s crazy talk.
Joe Gorga says everything’s frustrating for Teresa, so they should give her a break. I enjoy Teresa, BUT she’s not some innocent victim here. She plays just as dirty as anyone else in this group. Everyone’s forever making excuses for her inexcusable behavior.
Dolores Catania wants to diffuse the situation with Teresa because she’s her puppet. That’s not the real reason, but that’s how it feels most of the time. She frequently turns her back on everyone else to protect precious Tre.
Dolores’ goal is to talk some sense into Teresa on a Nashville shopping trip. Good luck Dolo. When Teresa sets her sights on someone, she can be relentless. She should know that given the amount of time they’ve been friends.
Once again, Jersey is hellbent on making the husbands happen. Why do they get their scenes? This is HouseWIVES. Plain and simple.
The ladies are recording a song. How fun! You know Melissa Gorga is ready to put her talents on display. It’s an opportunity to showcase herself as the WISH version of Jennifer Lopez.
I guess I can’t comprehend why Dolores always has to kiss Teresa’s ass? I’m not necessarily against Teresa here, but everyone is always so scared to go against her.
The women are officially recording their song, and it’s so awkward. Let me flee. Let me fun to another room. IT IS SO BAD. Dolores and Teresa are having a far less uncomfortable conversation than whatever pitchy mess this is.
At the same time as these other encounters, all of the men are getting trashed on a boat and drinking out of dildos. What a wild time. Three very different vibes.
Teresa says Marge needs to watch the way she talks because eventually she’ll get attacked. Dolores tells her it’s probably best to walk away. No matter what Dolores is saying, Tre thinks Marge needs to be ashamed of herself. Everything she’s telling Teresa is going in one ear and out the other.
Margaret can’t be serious if she genuinely thinks Teresa would ever show up and apologize. It’s never going to happen. She’s been friends with her long enough to know that’s never going to happen. It’s bordering on delusional to even think that.
The men return to the house, and they are LOADED. The combination of 15 drinks and the sun was a combo that hit each of them so damn hard. It’s hilarious though.
Joe makes a good point about not every man being willing to accept Teresa’s rage. However, Louie is the exception to the rule. He has a genuine love for Teresa, and he’s willing to put up with it.
Marge doesn’t want to speak to Tre at dinner. The less communication between the two of them, the better. Their interaction is the most combustible element of the dinner. If they decide to hash things out, the night’s going to be ruined for everyone. Let’s get through one meal without an explosion of drama.
Melissa warns that everyone should brace themselves because Teresa’s not even close to being over this. Hold onto your seats because the queen of Jersey is out for blood.
Before dinner, everyone does a line dance that I’d need an absorbent amount of cocktails to ensure. I could only hear “heel-toe” so many times before I imploded.
The girls play their song for everyone, and Teresa’s not amused. She thinks it’s trash, and she doesn’t care about the underlying message of friendship. It’s blatantly clear she’s looking for Round 2 with Margaret, so let’s get it over with.
At dinner, Teresa apologizes to the group for her actions the night prior. She says she loves Louie very much and when someone hurts him, they’re hurting her. She claims she was provoked as well. Technically she was, but that apology was trash.
It’s not the best apology, but do we have to drag this out even more? This is the best Marge is ever going to get from Teresa. Jennifer plays bone carrier and tells Teresa that Marge hates the apology.
Joe says there was progress for Teresa. A few years ago, Tre would never utter an apology in any way, shape, or form. Teresa comments on Margaret always eating dinner. Why body shame her? That’s just gross.
Why is everyone sitting there and condoning the way she body shames Margaret at every turn? Of course, Teresa wants to drag Melissa into this and force her into an awkward position. She even told Melissa that if she doesn’t straighten Margaret out, they won’t have a relationship.
Teresa’s being so gross at this down. Melissa’s in the worst position ever. Teresa wants to say this is disgusting, but SHE is the one dragging this shit out. I’ve never seen someone so stubborn and delusional in my life.

On some shows within the Bravoverse, the term “finger-banged” comes with a certain connotation. But in the world of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, it should be taken at face value. Like when Gary King‘s finger got slammed in the sliding glass doors at the end of last week’s episode. So at the top of this week, the first mate’s finger has quite literally been banged. And he’s in excruciating pain. We’re talking swearing, shouting, screaming into your pillow kind of pain. Daisy Kelliher claims stubbing your toes, fingers and various other body parts just comes with the life of a yachtie. All the same, you can’t help but feel bad for the guy as he writhes around his cabin in agony. But at least the sliding glass doors didn’t shatter?
The residual pain of his injury, however, makes Gary‘s patience run thin. To the point that, once they’re out of the rolling waves that caused the chaos in the first place, he starts snapping at Kelsie Goglia over menial tasks, like detangling whatever a captive winch is. Careful there, Gare Bear, Kelsie’s the only deckhand you have around these days. You’re both working 12-hour shifts on deck with no one else to shoulder any of the burden. So maybe treat her with a little more kindness…
Meanwhile, Gabriela Barragan‘s off day just continues to get worse. A stilted attempt at conversation with Chef Marcos Spaziani goes absolutely nowhere. Mostly because neither is willing to put aside their pride and apologize for sniping at the other during their last crew night out. But either way, the second stew is starting to feel not only like she’s failing at her job, but that she’s completely isolated from her co-workers. But maybe that’s for the best when they’re all crowded around the table in the crew mess stabbing a red-hot needle into Gary‘s nail to drain it of blood…
During dinner, Chef Marcos once again shows off by transforming a butternut squash into a beef tenderloin for the vegan primary. And as the night shift begins, Gary and his freshly blood-letted nail apologize to Kelsie for being short with her. Blame it on the finger bang, right? One thing that can’t be blamed on Gary’s injury, though, is the tension among interior department, which is palpable basically every time Gabriela so much as walks into the room. No matter what she does, Ashley Marti will always resent Gabriela for being one rung above her in the stew hierarchy. Even a simple task like thanking the third stew for washing the dishes without being asked gets attitude. At this point, the relationship between Daisy‘s underlings seems to be a bit of a lost cause.
The next morning, pretty much everyone on board is hoping for a clean slate of a day. Gary‘s finger may be oozing pus, but things are looking up, OK? Re-anchoring in Port Mahon, the crew tries to make up for the previous day’s choppy water by offering the guests an afternoon of swimming and water sports on the beach. But left to organize service for the excursion, Gabriela is forced to coordinate with Chef Marcos, resulting in nothing but passive-aggressive awkwardness between the two.
With Gabriela off the boat tending to the guests, Ashley decides it’s the perfect time to throw her nemesis under the bus to Daisy. Toying with a Reese’s, the third stew breaks Gabriela’s confidence. And promptly snitches to Daisy that she was thinking of quitting just a few days ago. To her credit, the chief stew refuses to simply take Ashley’s word for it, and promises she’ll get Gabriela’s side of the story as well. Via confessional, Daisy even has the foresight to blame Ashley for much of the cold war happening between the two. Even though most of it’s happening behind her back. Of course, the moment Gabriela’s back on board, Ashley reverts to giving her the bratty cold shoulder.
Dinner is yet another vegan magic trick, with Chef Marcos somehow turning tofu, vegetable broth and cornflakes into the equivalent of friend chicken. But even while she’s on service, Ashley can’t resist badmouthing Gabriela to Chef Marcos and Colin Macrae. After everyone’s gone to bed, Gabriela pulls Kelsie aside for a heart-to-heart. And lays out all the reasons she’s feeling uncomfortable around Ashley, Chef Marcos and even Daisy to a certain extent. Ever sensible, the female deckhand acts as an impartial third party, both validating Gabriela’s emotions and giving her some sound advice about how to co-exist peacefully on a boat with people who don’t really like you all that much.
The next morning is departure day. And much to Daisy‘s annoyance, Captain Glenn Shephard is bound and determined to get a sail in for the guests. Even if it means rushing breakfast service to just 15 minutes. Leaving Daisy virtually no time to clear the table. Or put things away before the boat starts heeling. But there’s no talking Captain Glenn out of it. So the chief stew just has to make do, the risk of broken flatware be damned. The captain even pitches the idea in front of the guests as Daisy’s trying to hurriedly take breakfast orders.
Captain Glenn‘s already telling Colin to raise the genoa as the guests are wolfing down breakfast. And the entire boat quickly becomes a jumbled mess with things flying everywhere below deck. But hey, the guests get what they were promised. And even with a steep heel! By the time they’re ready to depart, they’re most satisfied than ever. They don’t even mind having to repack some of their luggage that was probably tossed around their cabins!
As far as charters go, this one was pretty low-key. Plus, with charter number five under their belts, the crew have officially bypassed the halfway point of the season. And their good work is reflected in the tip of $20,000. I’ve lost count, but that may be a high water mark for this season? It also equals out to a not-terrible $2,500 per person thanks to the crew being short-handed. And in that department, Captain Glenn also breaks the news that the replacement deckhand should be arriving before they pick up the next charter. Oh, and one more thing? He or she will also be arriving after the crew gets their much-deserved day off. Hallelujah!
Following through what she told Ashley, Daisy finally sits down with Gabriela for a check-in. The second stew admits she’s feeling defeated. And Daisy is quick to lift her spirits, validating that she really is great at every aspect of her job. But she also puts the onus on her second to have a desire to be part of the team. She has to want to show up every day with her best foot forward. It’s not exactly a cheerleader pep talk, but it does seem to help Gabriela pull out of her downward spiral. Even just a bit. The episode ends with Daisy and Gabriela hugging it out. But the second stew is still on the verge of tears. So let’s just wait and see how the next charter goes…
