Heather Rae Young Says She Hasn’t Been Called Back For Season 7 Of Selling Sunset

Selling Sunset might be down a cast member for Season 7. Production began for the show’s next installment, but apparently, not everyone has been asked to return. According to Page Six, Heather Rae Young has been sitting by the phone waiting to get the call to film for the show, but the phone isn’t ringing.

Heather opened up about her possible dismissal from the show during an E! News interview with her husband, Tarek El Moussa. The two welcomed a son in January, and Heather admitted she’s now ready to return to work. However, it’s not as simple as her just showing up at the Oppenheim Group office and clocking in.

“I’ve been off maternity leave and I’ve been excited to get back to work and so far I have not been called back,” Heather explained. Filming for season 7 has begun, so the fact that she has yet to get a call is probably not a good sign. You’ve heard of quiet quitting. This sounds like quiet firing.

Although it sounds like Heather won’t be a part of Selling Sunset Season 7, she confirmed that she would be featured in Season 6. Filming has already wrapped, but Netflix hasn’t confirmed a premiere date. Heather teased, “I don’t think they’ve announced the air date, but soon you guys will find out.”

When Season 6 does hit Netflix, we expect to see a bit of a shakeup at the Oppenheim Group. Of course, Christine Quinn left the brokerage at the end of Season 5 in a controversial departure from the series. She later teased that she would be a part of Season 6 in some capacity before officially leaving the show for good. Longtime cast member Maya Vander also left the series to focus on her real estate business in Florida.

In light of some old faces leaving Selling Sunset, Netflix announced two new cast members joining the fun. Nicole Young and Bre Tiesi have signed on to join the cast for Season 6 and Season 7. They’re both longtime realtors at the Oppenheim Group, and it sounds like they’ve just been waiting in the wings, anticipating the call to join the cast.

Heather might have been dropped from Selling Sunset to clear space for the newbies. But that doesn’t mean she’s off television for good. She and her husband are starring in their own reality show, The Flipping El Moussas, on HGTV. Arguably, that sounds like a better gig than Selling Sunset. At least on HGTV, there’s much less drama, and Heather won’t have to compete for screen time with five other blondes.

Ariana Madix’s Vanderpump Rules Reunion Revenge Dress Is Revealed

It’s safe to say that virtually every Vanderpump Rules fan is firmly on Team Ariana Madix after the #Scandoval of it all. Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’s sneaky affair has made Season 10 even more chaotic than any of us, even Lisa Vanderpump, could have ever imagined. Thankfully, we’re watching the chaos all go down in real time on TV. The episodes just further prove that Sandoval and Rachel are so evil that they deserve each other. And somehow, Ariana is becoming even cooler than she was when she was born.

Ariana is obviously in a state of healing since the Pump Rules scandal exploded. She made it through filming the reunion, which we know was nothing close to peaceful. I have total faith that the universe is going to bless Ariana accordingly for having to deal with the disaster that is Tom Sandoval. But the reality TV addict in me can’t help but be over-the-moon excited for the dramatic VPR reunion. I mean, there’s been tea spilled left and right since #Scandoval broke. Half of it coming from Raquel’s own mouth. The reunion was even more heated — like, there were lawyers involved. You best believe I’m going to treat the reunion episodes like my own personal Super Bowl.

According to Page Six, Ariana’s VPR reunion revenge dress has been revealed. She held nothing back in her reunion fashion statement. She was by far the best dressed of the group. Ariana sported a body-hugging red dress that showed off her body-ody-ody in all of the right places. The red dress has cut-outs to show off her killer abs and her bob was sharp enough to say “whatever doesn’t kill me better run.” Literally, I couldn’t have dreamt of a better dress for her to wear while facing Rachel and Sandoval to duke it all out. Let them eat up every inch of this look.

Ariana and Andy Cohen teased ahead of time that her Vanderpump Rules reunion dress would make all of our jaws drop. Andy wouldn’t give any sneak peeks, but told us that it was the ultimate “revenge dress.” Ariana teased her boss that her ex-boyfriend’s eyes were “gonna bleed” after getting a look at her. And I can’t disagree. It’s not even worth it to make jokes at Sandoval’s expense. He’s the one that has to live with hurting such a knockout like Ariana for the rest of his life.

The Bachelor’s Kaity Biggar Says She and Gabi Elnicki Will Remain Friends Following Zach Shallcross Drama

Even though Kaity Biggar is wearing the “one ring to rule them all” following Bachelor Zach Shallcross’s proposal, she still believes that she and runner-up Gabi Elnicki will remain friends. Really? Would you be comfortable being friends with your future husband’s ex-girlfriend, the one with whom he had sex while he was also dating you? And why does that Friends song “I’ll be there for you . . .” keep playing in my head?

“We’ve already had trips together,” Kaity said. “We’ve been to Florida. A lot of the girls came to Austin for the premiere and, me, GabiAriel [Frenkel]Jess [Girod], and Mercedes [Northup] [are going to] Miami at the end of April.”

“We’re all very tight,” Kaity told Us Weekly’s Here for the Right Reasons podcast. Us Weekly has the story.

Despite repeatedly (and cruelly) saying his heart was torn between the two women, it was pretty obvious to fans — and especially to Gabi — that Zach had already made his choice long before the Final Rose Ceremony. Following the previous week’s rose ceremony, the Vermont native noticed that Zach seemed to only make eye contact with Kaity. Even though he’d been intimate with Gabi that week — or maybe because of it — he couldn’t look her in the eye.

Then when Gabi arrived for the Final Rose Ceremony in Thailand, she stepped into a mud puddle as she exited the car. Her nerves were showing, as she got a little cranky with production. “When it actually matters,” she scolded, “when Kaity arrives, don’t do that to her.”

Gabi has a heart of gold,” Kaity said. “She actually told me [about the mud puddle comment] after we finished filming. She’s like, ‘Oh my God, Kaity, I don’t know if they’re gonna air this, but this is what I did.’ And we were just howling about it.”

“We both [had] each other’s back throughout the whole season,” the travel nurse continued. “We confided in each other. I even told Zach, I was like, ‘She’s an incredible woman. You have a tough decision to make.’ Honestly [I got] such amazing friendships out of the season. I’m so grateful.”

Sadly, we all watched as Zach broke Gabi’s heart and proposed to Kaity. Right after America watched the breakup on national TV, the two former lovers sat down with host Jesse Palmer. Gabi confronted her ex about telling Kaity — and “the whole nation” — that they had sex during their overnight date.

“In that moment,” Zach told Us, “I told her . . . ‘this can be [our] secret.’ And the guilt ate at me. That’s not [the man] I want to be — to hold secrets and not give the full truth.”

“Obviously,” Zach continued, “it caused a lot of pain though, and I don’t take away from that. I hope Gabi knows that like, the intentions were as pure as they could be, and I did not wanna hurt her.”

Meanwhile, Kaity admitted it was tough watching the episode, but knows her fiancé was just doing his best when he made the notorious “no sex” rule. “I wasn’t in his shoes,” Kaity told Us. “I think he has such an amazing heart and he just didn’t wanna muddy the waters, but obviously…it did.”

“Going in [to] Fantasy Suite week,” she continued, “I just wanted to use that time–that intimate time–to just get to know each other more on a more emotional level [without the cameras]. I was just looking forward to that.” The registered nurse also said she had been looking forward to their kayaking date, but sadly, that went “sour pretty quick.”

“But, in Bachelor world,” she admitted, “things don’t always go as planned, so I don’t think I really went in with a whole lot of expectations. I was just hoping it would go smoothly. We hit a hurdle for sure. But in the end, we came out stronger.”
