You Season 4 Is Arriving Earlier Than Planned

Has Bachelor Nation’s Victoria Fuller Found Actual Paradise With Greg Grippo?
If Bachelor in Paradise is almost Paradise — like the theme song says — then human Bratz doll Victoria Fuller wants us to believe she’s found actual Paradise with Bachelorette alum Greg Grippo.
Victoria, who first appeared on Peter Weber‘s season of The Bachelor, before high-pressuring Johnny DePhillipo into proposing to her on BIP, is looking forward to a future with her new beau, Greg.
Some Bachelor Nation fans might remember Greg as the guy who self-eliminated in week 7 of Katie Thurston‘s Bachelorette season, saying he left the show because, “It felt, like, a little too scripted and felt like, ‘Alright, we need to play by [the rules].'”
What?! This show is scripted??? I’ve never heard of such a thing!
During the Nov. 22 Bachelor in Paradise finale, fans saw the medical sales representative get engaged to Johnny on the beach of Sayalita, Mexico. They seemed to be a happy couple, but when the lights and cameras went dark, so did their relationship.
During the show’s televised reunion, Johnny revealed that the couple were only engaged for “a month” before breaking up, accusing his ex-fiancée of cheating on him with Greg, which she denied, even while admitting that she’d flown to Rome, Italy, to meet Greg for “a drink.”
The timeline on the trip to Rome was unclear, but what was crystal clear was Victoria claiming that Johnny had called her a “f–king c–t” during an argument, which her ex didn’t deny.
Whoa. That’s pretty harsh. The Brits might take that word lightly, but not so much here in the colonies. That’s crossing a line, no matter whose “side” you’re on.
Victoria spoke to E! News following the studio taping of the finale, and gushed, “Greg and I are very, very happy right now . . . We are just enjoying being able to finally be together. We don’t know what the future holds, but maybe it’s a bunch of Grippo babies. We’ll see!”
As Victoria looks back on their relationship now, she admits that Johnny wasn’t ready for an engagement — something she says she expressed on Bachelor in Paradise.
Really? I don’t remember that at all. I just remember that she seemed to be expecting an engagement at the end of the show. I think Johnny was just trying to live up to her expectations, whether he was ready or not.
“That was something I struggled with with Johnny,” the Virginia Beach native explained. “I think he’s an amazing guy, but at the end of the day, there was that question: ‘OK, what is the end game here?’ Especially when comments were made on his end. At this point in my life, I need someone who can match my energy and that’s why I’m [now] with Greg. We compliment each other.”
“Johnny is an amazing man who is going to make some girl very, very happy,” Victoria continued. “Reflecting back, I see it, but it’s not really me. I felt myself compromising for things I wouldn’t normally compromise for. I wasn’t in a conducive environment for growing — you’re kind of stunted. You don’t really have outside sources giving their input. Looking back, I compromised a lot of what I normally wouldn’t to make that relationship work. Ultimately, it didn’t.”
The truth is that there are always three versions of every story. In this case, there’s Johnny‘s version and there’s Victoria‘s version, with the truth falling somewhere in between. Actually, in this case, there’s probably a fourth version of the story, which is Executive Producer Mike Fleiss’s version. Paraphrasing Greg Grippo‘s own words when he exited The Bachelorette, this show is extremely scripted and production can edit every story to look however they want it tot appear. It’s entertainment, not a documentary.
As for Victoria, we can honestly say that Johnny just isn’t “her person.” Only time will tell if Greg is either. I’m not gonna hold my breath waiting for those Grippo babies.
TELL US – WERE YOU SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT JOHNNY AND VICTORIA WERE NO LONGER A COUPLE? DO YOU THINK VICTORIA WILL GET HER GRIPPO BABIES? OR DO YOU THINK SHE’LL REMAIN TRUE TO HER TRACK RECORD AND MOVE ON TO SOMEONE ELSE BEFORE TOO LONG?

Cheryl Burke Says Leaving Dancing With The Stars Is Like “Another Divorce But An Amicable One”
Dancing with the Stars pro Cheryl Burke has been navigating some major life changes. The Dance Moms alum celebrated four years of sobriety in 2022.
Cheryl filed for divorce from her husband, Matthew Lawrence, on February 18, 2022. She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the couple’s breakup.
They met on DWTS when Matthew’s brother, Joey Lawrence, competed on the show. Matthew and Cheryl dated for a year before calling it quits. In 2017, they rekindled their romance. The couple got married on May 23, 2019, in San Diego.
Their divorce was finalized in September 2022. Cheryl hinted that infidelity may have played a role in the break down of her marriage. The dancer posted a TikTok set to Adele’s “When We Were Young.” In the video, Cheryl stared directly at the camera and shook her head. She wrote over the video, “When he said he would never talk to her again, yet I found text messages, Viagra, and a necklace hidden in a pair of his shoes.” Yikes!
Cheryl added in the caption, “The last time is absolutely right! Goodbye forever…#exessuck #goodbyeforever #hopeitwasworthit.” Cheryl didn’t name which ex allegedly cheated.
During Season 31 of DWTS, Cheryl was paired with weatherman Sam Champion. The couple never really hit their groove, and they were sent home during Disney+ night. Then Cheryl announced that she was exiting the show after 26 seasons. The two-time mirrorball champ, who joined the cast during Season 2, shared the news via Instagram.
“This show has been my 2nd family since I was 21 years old,” she wrote. “The cast, crew & fans have seen me through my highest highs & some of my lowest lows, & I honestly don’t know who I would be today without them.” During the DWTS finale, Cheryl danced with two of her favorite partners, Louis Van Amstel and Pasha Pashkov, to Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana.” It was fire!
Cheryl spoke to Page Six following the finale about her decision to retire from the show. “I am overwhelmed. I’ve been trying to hold back the tears, I would say, because I wanted to really perform the best I could,” she stated. “Now with all of that behind me, it’s bittersweet … but I have to just trust my intuition.”
The dance pro added, “[It’s been] so hard. This is like another type of divorce, but an amicable one.” Oh, the shade!
“I do know though that I love to evolve as a human being. I think for me, I’ve done 26 seasons as a professional dancer and I know I’m more than capable to do other things as well,” Cheryl remarked.

Cheryl is interested in using her platform to increase mental health awareness. But now that judge Len Goodman has retired from DWTS, would Cheryl consider taking a seat at the judges’ table? “I never thought in a million years I would retire the same season as Len Goodman. Honestly, I would love to evolve within the [ DWTS] family, but if that doesn’t happen? All good,” Cheryl said. “I had to do this for me.”
Cheryl also weighed in on TikTok star Charli D’Amelio and pro Mark Ballas winning the glittering mirrorball trophy. The Bachelorette star Gabby Windey and Val Chmerkovskiy took second place. Comedian Wayne Brady and Witney Carson came in third, while RuPaul’s Drag Race star Shangela and partner Gleb Savchenko came in fourth place.
“It’s deserved! I called it from the beginning. I mean, Mark is such a creative genius,” she commented. “I am so proud of him. It’s not easy taking a break and coming back.” Kudos to Mark for winning after a five-year hiatus!
Cheryl remarked, “I just love that Mark came back with a vengeance, and with someone who’s so sweet like Charli. Very well deserved. I’m so happy for both of them,” she added.

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi Reveals Why She Would Never Let Her Kids Watch Jersey Shore
Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi opens up about whether she’d want her children watching her on Jersey Shore. The reality star, known for her over-the-top personality on the MTV series, seems to want to shield her children from her past before she was a mother.
In an interview with People, the 34-year-old shared her thoughts and noted that “even if they’re 30,” she doesn’t plan on letting her kids see the show.
“Even if they’re 30, I’m like, I don’t want you watching that. It’s weird,” she shared. “I mean, even now my kids are 10 and 8 and they’re on TikTok and see old clips and stuff.”
I would pay top dollar to see one of Snooki’s kids scrolling across an old clip of her writing the note to Sammi Giancola about Ronnie Ortiz-Margo cheating on her in the club. What a legendary moment. In fact, most MTV reality shows like The Real World and The Challenge have given fans of the genre tons of amazing moments.
“So they’re like, ‘Mommy, what are you doing here?’ And I’m just like, ‘Mommy’s a paid actress. They made me do that,'” she said.
The Jersey native stated that she planned to tell her kids when they’re older that she was “crazy” when she originally filmed the series.
Jersey Shore originally aired from 2009 to 2012. The show followed eight different housemates at a vacation home in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The show instantly took off and became one of the most popular shows on MTV and in the reality tv genre.
Snooki received her own spin-off show with her co-star, Jennifer ‘JWoww’ Farley. Their spin-off was the most successful of all the Jersey Shore cast members’ shows. Fans loved the original run of Jersey Shore that MTV brought the cast back, except for Sammi, for a new reunion titled Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
The show has been filming since 2018 and has aired 5 seasons. Some of the fans of the Real Housewives of New Jersey have begged Andy Cohen to give her a spot on the show; however, Andy quickly shot down those requests.
