One Below Deck crew member's voyage is getting cut short. After multiple warnings about her work ethic and an explosive fight with fellow stew Alissa Humber, season 10 stew Camille Lamb was fired...If you’re like me, you’re still very excited about the reality of Lisa Rinna being out over at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But you’re also VERY curious about the future of the show.
Let’s be honest, Rinna stirred the pot. She was the show’s villain. And she really kept certain storylines going (cough, Denise Richards and Brandi Glanville .) And of course her intense beef with Kathy Hilton. For many years, fans called for her firing, and the network ignored their pleas. So that’s why when she dropped the news that she wouldn’t be returning for the next season, my mouth hit the floor.
In a statement to People, Rinna said, “This is the longest job I have held in my 35 year career and I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series.” She finished with, “It has been a fun eight-year run and I am excited for what is to come!”
In an interview with People two weeks before her announcement, Lisa’s better half, Harry Hamlin, shared some of his thoughts about his wife’s tactics on the show.
“She does her job. Her job is to show up on time, interact with the people on the show in an honest and authentic way,” Harry said. “Her hot button issue, I suppose, is injustice or when somebody else is not behaving honestly, she’ll call it out.”
He continued, “And that gets into a lot of trouble. But it also helps the show.”
Lisa is known for begging her cast members to “own it.” Whether that be a comment they said behind someone’s back or possibly doing coke in the bathroom. If she thinks you’re “bs’ing” the group, she’ll make sure you know it.

Harry added, “I’ve known her for 30 years… She has never once, in all of that time, uttered an untruth. And yet she’s being accused of being a liar on the show.”
Her last season was a rough one. From the loss of her mother to her drama with Kathy, I could see the producers setting up her exit from a mile away. I just never thought it would actually happen. At some point, Lisa stopped being the Housewife that brought fun drama and the Housewife that brought a dark cloud over their franchise.
“There’s always going to be 50 percent of the people who like you, 50 percent of the people who hate you. I think the like-hate factor is much more — like 80 percent [of] people like Lisa, 20 percent don’t,” Harry said.
We’ll have to see what the next season of RHOBH gives us fans before we decide if Rinna is needed on this show. Her exit clears up space and makes room for potential returns such as Brandi, Camille Grammer, or even some friends of Garcelle Beauvais or Sutton Stracke. Either way, I’ll be tuned in next season and ready for a fresh start.

The drama in Potomac can’t stop and won’t stop! And the word on the street is that Gizelle Bryant is TIRED of the beef between her and her former bestie, Candiace Dillard-Bassett.
Fans recall the moment the drama started between the two friends during Season 7 of Real Housewives of Potomac. Gizelle told the rest of the cast that Chris Bassett made her uncomfortable during the RHOP Season 6 reunion taping.
Once Candiace found out, whew! She let Gizelle have it. But now, it almost feels like it’s gone on too far. The fans feel it, I know most of the cast feel it, and Gizelle DEFINITELY feels it.
During Gizelle’s recent interview with Today, she revealed that when she told Candiace the info about Chris, she was “very careful” with her words. Gizelle knows that “Candiace is very sensitive and can be a bit dramatic.” Because of that, Gizelle said she “wasn’t going to say anything that was going to be super inflammatory and hurt her.” But since then, Candiace has “took it to a whole other level of nonsense.”
Gizelle said, “Candiace wants to always be a victim. We’re no longer friends, so I don’t feel like I need to hold back anything anymore. What happened happened, and it was unfortunate, and no one’s going to tell me how to feel in a situation like that.”
Gizelle revealed that she believed Chris would take accountability, apologize, and the three would be back to normal. However, she was mistaken.

“Of course, you know, she wants to create a story. This could have died because it was a simple conversation, but she wants to create a story,” Gizelle stated. “She wanted to carry this out throughout the season. She wanted to take all this to ‘Girls Trip,’ which she did. It’s just exhausting to me a little bit.”
After mentioning to Gizelle that Robyn Dixon, her long-time bestie, didn’t believe Chris was trying to be salacious, Gizelle shot back. “Robyn is entitled to her opinion. I never want anyone to just side with me because we’re friends. I do that for people, but it’s just not necessary,” she said. “I am grown, and I am confident and secure enough and can speak for myself enough that I don’t need that.”

Don’t call it a comeback. Call it a takeover!
Before the second season of the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip aired, it had been some time since fans last saw Brandi Glanville appear on anything Bravo-related. Unless you count her brief pop-up during Season 10 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. That is when she dropped the huge bombshell that she and Denise Richards allegedly slept together. Brandi, who first appeared as a friend of the ‘wives during Season 2 of RHOBH, eventually snatched her own diamond and caused waves in the 90210 for several seasons before she was given the boot. After that, we may have seen her pop up here and there on shows like the Celebrity Apprentice. Other than that, most of her time was spent fighting with current Bravo stars on Twitter.
But Peacock has been providing fans with non-stop, action-packed drama that we just can’t get enough of. And now, with the second installment of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club, fans will see the return of Brandi alongside another familiar RHOBH ex-wife, Camille Grammer.
And apparently, the two have some major beef to squash while they’re away filming Season 4 of RHUGT in Morocco. On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Brandi revealed that she and Camille have much more to work out than we knew.
“Well, I think that we have a lot of Twitter beefs to squash, and that’s where that’s going, so hopefully, she’ll come and not cry over dumb stuff,” she said, as reported by Bravo’s The Daily Dish.

Camille is kinda known to throw some major shots in her confessionals but never to the ladies’ faces. Now that she’ll be out of the country with Housewives sharks such as Eva Marcille and Phaedra Parks, I’m curious to see how she holds up.
And I will say I am a major Camille fan and would love to see her return to RHOBH next season along with Brandi. But I’ll take what we’re being given (for now).
When Andy Cohen asked Brandi if she was worried about seeing any of the ladies during her next trip with the ex-wives club, she replied, “They should be worried about me.”
Although a Season 4 premiere is likely closer to the end of 2023, fans can rest assured knowing Brandi will be back to serve up some good tea.

Am I the only one feeling majorly disillusioned with the state of every Real Housewives franchise lately? Will I continue to watch? Yes. Am I going to continue to complain until someone out there somewhere (looking at you, Andy Cohen) does something about it? Probably also yes. Enough with the cliffhangers and scripted family scenes. Let’s pull a Teen Mom if we must, and break the fourth wall completely. Anything to spare me from having to watch another sit-down conversation we all know was planned out well in advance via text or maybe even script writing.
So one bit of drama we can be sure no writer at Bravo cooked up is the arrest and conviction of Jen Shah from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. I’m just as over her haphazard theatrics as you are, but now we’re being subjected to a reunion without Bravo’s top-ranking felon of 2022? So then why was she filmed for Season 3 at all? And what does that mean for the potential of Season 4? Join me in watching the reunion episode sure to cover Lisa Barlow’s explosive comments from a full season prior and Heather Gay dismissing questions about her “mysterious” black eye. Again. Maybe I’ll even be able to keep the Angies straight by the end of this one.
Watch on Bravo at 8 PM ET.

Lisa Hochstein and Lenny Hochstein have a grip on Real Housewives of Miami fans at the moment. It’s almost like we’ve been waiting over a decade for this marriage to implode. So far, nine episodes of this show have been released on Peacock, with a spicy mid-season trailer that just dropped. Lisa is grappling with the “sudden” loss of her husband while Alexia Echevarria seems poised to go after Guerdy Abraira any second now. I think Marysol Patton would join the drama if she could manage to take the straw out of her mouth. The thirst is real.

Another lackluster season, another “to be continued” cliffhanger just as things appear to be getting interesting. When we last left the ladies of Real Housewives of Potomac the Grand Dame in question, Karen Huger was rising in her seat at the dinner table. Queen Karen and Charrisse Jackson Jordan have been taking their time in going for the other this season. That should mean Charisse came fully planned and prepared to take her title as HBIC back from Karen. Yet I don’t see this being the boss-bitch come-up either woman has been waiting for. Imagine fighting over being the most influential woman in Potomac (on-camera) for a show with viewers who more than likely had to Google its location prior to Season 1.
Watch on Bravo at 8 PM ET.
Okay so onto some Netflix content. If you love Top Chef and Big Brother, this may be the show for you. This is a cooking competition series where chefs live together in a house and compete to win $100,000. There’s some secret romance, alliances, and of course, a ton of delicious food to drool over. On this show, the chefs judge each other, either after they have been eliminated, via blind taste tests, or sometimes knowing who they are rating. If you haven’t seen a bunch of crabby chefs try to play nice for compliments, this might be the show for you!
Stream Season 1 on Netflix now.
Of course I’m going to be watching Below Deck this week. We have to follow up on Camille Lamb’s work ethic and Captain Sandy Yawn’s tenure as she fills in for Captain Lee Rosbach. Will there be a ticket home for the deck/stew turned full-time laundry maiden? Let’s find out! I’ll be doing a recap of this one so be sure to check back!
Watch on Bravo at 8 PM ET.

Maybe the only thing that the ladies of Real Housewives of Miami can all agree on is that Lenny Hochstein is the absolute worst. The way he dumped Lisa Hochstein and moved on to a new woman (who seems to be a Lisa fan) without batting an eyelash is horrifying.
Lenny’s delusional antics just continue to make everyone and their mother (no literally, even his own mother is #TeamLisa) question the sanctity of marriage. But apparently, one person who still has an open mind about heading to the altar again seems to be LENNY. You really can’t make this stuff up.
Lenny can’t help but speak to every press outlet to trash his ex-wife by utilizing his RHOM notoriety as a jumping platform. Pathetic doesn’t even begin to describe it. It’s amazing he finds the time for so many interviews when he’s not parading his new girlfriend around town and rubbing it in Lisa’s face. Anyway, Lenny spoke to US Weekly and had the audacity to say he isn’t opposed to being someone’s husband again. The absolute nerve.
Despite all of his sinister digs at Lisa, Lenny apparently isn’t “soured at all” about the sanctity of marriage. He chalked up the divorce to a classic case of things not working out. Yeah, if you can call his midlife crisis that. “I have an open mind with everything,” Lenny said about the idea of him getting married again. However, he added that he’s neither open to it nor against it, whatever that means. No wonder Lisa had a tough time communicating with this nonsense.
It’s extra gross because you know that Lenny absolutely loves how much this is torturing Lisa. In fact, his sidekick Katharina Mazepa is probably living for it, too. It’s textbook lame. Let’s pray that most women in the future check the receipts before committing to Lenny after all of this nonsense. It’s hard to imagine who in their right mind would want to jump into planning a wedding with a flake like Lenny after his track record.
