Gizelle Bryant’s Best Looks Over The Years

During her time on Real Housewives of Potomac, veteran Gizelle Bryant has proven her reality TV credentials. So much so that she was asked to appear on the third season of Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip. Not only giving us great television moments, she has delivered some memorable fashion styling. Here we take a look back at some of her best looks from over the years.

New Franchise, New Fashion

When RHOP was first introduced to Real Housewives fans, many were excited to see what the new ladies on the block had to offer. Gizelle came out of the gates swinging with this stunning look. If she wanted to give the impression that she was all class, then that is exactly what this outfit offers up. The gorgeous deep pink looks fantastic, and while Gizelle is happy to show a little bit of skin, it allows her to maintain a sense of dignity. In the earlier seasons of Potomac when Karen Huger was judging every small detail, Gizelle passed here with flying colors!

If flirting up a storm with just an outfit was possible, then that’s exactly what Gizelle would be doing here. The dress she has opted for is sultry, without doing too much. The red lace and netted pattern is combined with a red lip for the ultimate red carpet look. The heels with feathers on the front are a bold choice. But when you see the necklace which does some work evening out the shades of silver, then it all comes together with expertise.

A Sapphire Slit

Another color that looks absolutely fantastic on Gizelle is this sapphire blue. The gown she has chosen to wear on this red carpet hangs almost all the way down to the floor. There is a slit on the left side to show a bit of leg, giving this reality star what many would call an Angelina Jolie moment. The jewelry chosen is subtle yet effective in adding those finishing touches to an ensemble that should be in a Real Housewives Hall of Fame for high fashion.

An Eye For Art

Gizelle is in attendance at former Real Housewives of New York City star Jill Zarin’s 5th annual luxury luncheon here and looks like a million dollars. If somebody told you that she was wearing a fine piece of art that usually hangs on the walls of the Louvre in Paris, you’d probably believe them. This is a unique outfit and one that challenges Gizelle’s looks of the past. She has gone for something completely different from her usual style, and for that, she should be celebrated. It’s a major win.

Gearing up for her third season of RHOP, Gizelle looked beautiful from head to toe. While she is wearing white and appears angelic in this stunning dress, fans know that she isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty and dig in deep with the drama. Fortunately, she always looks good doing it. She teased a season full of high-fashion moments, as well as the usual hijinks, and that is exactly what audiences got. This looks radiates elegance; it’s no wonder she looks so happy to be wearing it.

Keeping Warm While Looking Good

This is a more laidback style choice for Gizelle, who has chosen to keep warm in a woolen garment. If you look closely, you will notice that the fabric around her neck and the sleeves includes a different pattern from the rest of the dress. It’s a subtle but effective change and one that works very well. The woolly design clings to Gizelle’s body in all the right places. She completes the look with golden heels, and blue toenail polish to match the step-and-repeat. Don’t ever accuse Gizelle of not having her finger on the pulse of what works in fashion.

At the 2018 BET Awards, Gizelle went for a sleeveless top and long pants combination. She looks as if she has just stepped off of the set of a music video, which is fitting when you consider the event she is in attendance for. This outfit is badass, and wouldn’t look out of place on the likes of Rihanna. It’s not her standard fashion offering, but sometimes you have to shock the fans to leave their jaws on the floor. Job well done, and 10s across the board!

Bridal Reunion Vibes

The Real Housewives of Potomac reunions are always full of high-intensity drama. So when Gizelle rocked up in an all-white gown that is reminiscent of a wedding dress, she certainly caught the attention not only of her fellow castmates and host Andy Cohen but the entire nation. There’s an intricate design woven through the piece, and Gizelle doesn’t hold back when it comes to picking her pieces of jewelry. She has been through every jewelry box in the house to create this glamorous moment.

The Green Goddess

When it comes to showing off their fashion in the summer, many people want an easy wardrobe. Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t rock a power suit, which is exactly what Gizelle has done in this neon green ensemble. Stepping out to attend the 2022 NBCUniversal Upfront in New York City, the Real Housewife looks ready to stomp on anybody who gets in her way. A regular green would have worked just fine, but this highlighter-esque tone really sets the mood. Don’t mess with her.

Looking Good In Leather

Wearing her hair up isn’t something Gizelle does often, but when she does, she looks ready to take on the world. Combining that with this choice of outfit, you have someone who you know isn’t afraid to step into the spotlight and stand out. Gearing up for an episode of Watch What Happens Live, guests know they have to go in with a playful nature or could face being roasted not only by Andy Cohen, but callers and fans who phone in to get their questions answered. Gizelle is thankfully a master of rebutting shade.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s Gary King Admits Jealousy Of Daisy Kelliher And Colin MacRae’s Romance

Some of the crew will be navigating a surprising love triangle this season on Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

After working side-by-side for three charter seasons and maintaining a strictly mostly platonic relationship — who doesn’t remember that drunken hot tub makeout session? — Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher always insisted that she and First Mate Gary King were just good friends. In fact, they filmed their Season 3 reunion appearances via Zoom from the same apartment. Gary surprised everyone when he ran into the other room during filming to reveal Daisy in the same location. Even though they still claimed to only be “just friends,” viewers were intrigued.

For the first time in the show’s history, Chief Engineer Colin MacRae returned for the charter season a single man, following a breakup with his long-term girlfriend. Colin was ready and willing to mingle. And Daisy was caught in the middle between the two men. Entertainment Tonight is dishing all the triangle deets.

Though there’s always been a light-hearted flirtation between them, Gary never seriously pursued Daisy. But as soon as Colin became interested, the First Mate started having second thoughts.

“I’m shooting myself in the foot,” Gary admitted about his missed opportunity. “Daisy and I have had a connection and I think there’s chemistry there. I’ve had my chance to get with Daisy, [but] I didn’t take my chance. Now she’s hooking up with Colin, and I’m jealous.”

“Going back to previous seasons, seasons 2 and 3, you can kinda see there was maybe a connection between Daisy and Colin,” Gary added. “I certainly noticed it.”

For her part, Daisy felt that if Gary had been interested, he should’ve made his move long before Colin stepped up. But Gary blamed his missed opportunity on the age-old excuse of geographic undesirability. He lives in New Zealand, while Daisy’s home base is in the UK.

“I guess I didn’t shoot my shot just knowing we live two different lives,” he confessed. “I’ve never believed in long distance. I’ve tried that, it didn’t work out and I’d said I’d never do that again . . . Daisy and I see each other for maybe two months a year, and I don’t think that’s a feasible relationship.”

Even though they were ensnared in a romantic triangle, Gary’s still close to both Daisy and Colin. He and Colin are still buddies and talk all the time.

“I’m not gonna let someone get in the way of a friendship. Yes, it was a love triangle and yes, Colin and I do argue a little bit . . . I guess that’s all I’m gonna say, but I think we’ve brushed it under the rug. Our friendship is strong enough not to let anything get in the way of it,” Gary added.

Even though the rivalry caused some tension among the crew, Captain Glenn Shephard said it never reflected in their work. The guests never had an inkling of the staff romance, which was a feat in itself.

“They kind of police themselves,” Glenn explained. “Our crew in general are pretty good at being discrete.” This is a good thing, since most of the time when the crew is having drunken hot tub parties and hooking up with each other, the Captain is in his cabin quietly reading or catching up on his sleep. He admitted he didn’t even know about half the things that go on until he watched it on TV months later with the rest of us.

“I didn’t know about Daisy and Colin right at the beginning,” Glenn confessed. “I knew a little bit later on . . . [but] that’s a testament to them just keeping it [separate from their work].”

Since Glenn had had no clue about the love triangle’s existence until now, Entertainment Tonight surprised him with a video message from Daisy asking him to weigh in. “Team Colin or Team Gary?”

“Don’t tell [Gary],” Glenn whispered, “[But] I’m probably Team Colin!” Wow! “Jesus,” Gary exclaimed. “[Even] I’m team Colin!”

Gary’s a mess,” Glenn joked, admitting that both guys are like family and he loves them both. “Choosing teams is kinda like choosing your favorite kid, but Colin’s a little more settled down.” Also a lot more mature and responsible. Even though he’s got a good heart, Gary’s still pretty much a kid.

“So if Daisy’s asking me,” Glenn continued, “if I had to choose one, I would probably say, go with Team Colin, ’cause [Gary’s] got more women chasing him.”

5 Of The Worst Below Deck Chefs

When someone charters a yacht, they’re about to spend a boatload of money. Hahaha, see what I did there? Anyway, part of the allure of chartering a big white boat is the all-inclusive amenities a luxury vacation affords the client. You’re in an exotic location, seeing exotic things. Of course, your menu should reflect a lavish environment.

We have seen a wide array of chefs since Below Deck premiered on Bravo. For some, the most beloved remains the first one we got. Chef Ben Robinson captured many hearts and stomachs in the first season, and he set the bar high. But what about the chefs who weren’t so positively received? Maybe their lettuce was wilted or their personality was too spicy. And lying on a resume was never out of the question. Let’s review a few of our not-so-favorite Below Deck chefs.

Below Deck Mediterranean / Chef Tom Checketts

Season 5 of Below Deck Mediterranean was a mess for many reasons. Instead of girl power, it was girls gone wild. Tom Checketts’ appearance as chef may or may not have been a carefully hatched plan by Bosun Malia White. The season began with Chef Kiko Lorran failing to impress Captain Sandy Yawn with his curious cuisine. But Kiko isn’t even on this list. We’re talking about his replacement, Malia’s boyfriend.

After Kiko’s dismissal, Malia managed to convince Sandy her British beau Tom could come in and save the day. Tom did come in but he spent most of his time in the galley having temper tantrums like a toddler. Chef Tommy had a rough first day when his food was sent back by the charter guests. He also had a meltdown about baking a cake. A menacing cucumber also angered Tom, but we never found out if he actively fears vegetables. Malia had to babysit and calm him down without a paci or teething ring. Tom was okay until the yacht provisions also made him question his career choices and write threatening letters to Gordon Ramsey. After Tom’s less-than-stellar performance during the season, Malia dumped him in 2020. #justiceforkiko

Below Deck Down Under / Chef Ryan McKeown

Below Deck Down Under was a great new addition to the Below Deck franchise. Captain Jason Chambers slid in as the most gorgeous man ever a brand new HBIC and BDM fan favorite Aesha Scott returned with what we hoped was a great crew. Chef Ryan McKeown hailed from Philadelphia and not getting along with Aesha might have been his first mistake.

Cheffy Ryan had an attitude; unfortunately, his food wasn’t stunning enough to make it bearable. He whined and moaned about taking requests from the charter guests, which was exactly what he was hired to do. At the beginning of the series, Ryan served what amounted to gourmet McDonald’s. He also had a lot of issues with what time food was being sent to the guests. But Ryan’s pathetic English high tea was the final nail in his coffin. After he failed and left the high-paying guests disgusted by his lame effort, Captain Jason sent him back to Philly.

Below Deck Mediterranean / Chef Adam Glick

Man, this guy really gets on my nerves. The audacity of his situation and the fact he wasn’t fired on the spot continues to grind my gears. Chef Adam Glick was introduced to viewers on Below Deck Med Season 2. Only the powers of Captain Sandy kept this man’s career afloat because if Captain Lee Rosbach had to deal with him, Adam would have had a very short tenure on Bravo

It’s not that Adam’s culinary skills are poor. He just seemed to cook based on his current attitude. During his first time on the show, Adam had a secret tryst with Malia who was a deckhand at the time. When she became involved with Bosun Wesley Walton, Adam got petty and took it out on the charter guests. One client had specifically requested no onions. We don’t know if he didn’t like the taste of onions or if he was frightened of onions. The point is, this man paying thousands of dollars didn’t want any damn onions in his food. Adam took it upon himself to repeatedly add onions to the food and had the nerve to act affronted when he was questioned about it. I was never able to warm up to Adam after his disagreement about root vegetables. 

Below Deck / Chef Leon Walker

You know we couldn’t leave out Rocky Dakota’s best friend! Chef Leon Walker was a one-trick pony who tried with Captain Lee and was eventually gifted a plane ticket home. Leon had a big ego and it seemed like he had a big chip on his shoulder to match. Not only was Leon nasty with Chief Stew Kate Chastain, he almost turned the yacht into a pile of toothpicks when he left filthy pans in the oven and it caught fire.

Aside from Leon’s lack of cleaning issues, he would only serve one dish. His famous beef cheeks. All of this might have slid under Captain Sandy’s radar, but Lee wasn’t having it. Especially after he witnessed Leon speaking to Kate in an unsavory manner. After Lee spoke with the chef and ultimately fired him, Leon left mid-charter and threw the crew in a bad spot. Kate eventually revealed prior to Leon’s departure, this grown-ass man poured honey all over her bed. We never saw or heard from Leon again and no one complained.

Below Deck Mediterranean / Chef (?) Mila Kolomeitseva

Mila Kolomeitseva appeared on Below Deck Med Season 4. She gets a question mark by her name because her chef title is questionable and she lied on her CV. Mila’s cooking was better suited for a gang of 7-year-olds, not superyacht guests. She mutilated tacos and some incredibly slimy canned fish. Actually, I take it back. Mila’s food was not suitable for 7-year-olds or basic human consumption.

Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier refused to serve Mila’s food under the suspicion it was breaking the laws of nature. Unfortunately, Mila’s personality matched her nachos. She was a homophobic mess working under Captain Sandy. She couldn’t handle ordering provisions and the crew wasn’t too pleased once they learned about her feelings about the gay community. Mila’s inability to prepare a decent meal got her kicked off the yacht in the middle of the second charter. Sandy did this with no replacement chef, so it had to be a bad situation that was headed straight downhill. A third stew was briefly promoted to the galley until another chef could come on board.
