Why We’re Stoked to See Tom Schwartz on Winter House Season 3

Brr, it’s cold in here; there must be some Winter House in the atmosphere! And with that, Bravo viewers are getting ready to acclimate from the Montauk beaches to the slopes of Vermont for a third season of the hit spin-off. Packing away our bikinis and unboxing our cozy blankets is just what we need for these long winter months.

Now, along with some fan favorites from Summer House, there will also be cast members from Below Deck, Vanderpump Rules, and Family Karma. But one reality TV veteran fans are intrigued to see is Tom Schwartz

Tom has been the easygoing surfer dude who gives off California vibes. Maybe it’s the 70s wardrobe or the fact that he likes to relax with the help of shrooms. Whatever the reason, Tom has been an enigma for some time.

Even though some viewers may feel that he rarely has a good storyline, this could be his year to really branch out and make a name for himself, forever refusing to ride in the sidecar of life. Here’s why we’re actually looking forward to seeing Tom Schwartz on Winter House Season 3.

I’m Just Ken; I mean Tom

The TomTom co-owner has embraced his Ken phase of life thanks to his platinum blonde locks that actually look horrible. Anywhere else, and Tom would still not be a 10 with his new look. However, it shows his metamorphosis has begun as like any ordinary girl (guy) going through a breakup. Everyone knows, the first thing you change is your hair. As a cast member on the new season of Winter House, it will be nice to see Tom as a single dude not attached to Katie Maloney

Will he charm the pants of some of his roomies, or is he just an awkward former model? This burning question will finally be able to be answered thanks to his place in the house. Even though his ex had a few choice words for him, Tom doesn’t seem like a bad catch if you’re into a Beta who, at times, seems spineless. Tom could slowly start to come out of his shell and reveal that he has multiple layers to himself.

For years, Schwartz has been the sidekick to the leading man, Tom Sandoval. Both got their start in Florida as models. However, it was apparent that Sandoval was often the mouthpiece for both of them, as he came across as more aggressive regarding decision-making issues. Schwartz’s inner light has been snuffed out thanks to his friendship with Sandoval, and honestly, it’s a bit sad. A true friendship shouldn’t highlight one over the other or be a dictatorship. After Scandoval broke, it was clear that Schwartz was backed into a corner as he tried to support his cheating bro, but even Schwartz had his limits. 

It will be very interesting to see what Schwartz says about the entire cheating ordeal. Until now, he has kept his opinions to himself mainly due to a friendship gag order Sandoval placed on him when the fallout began. Schwartz undoubtedly has his own ideas and a different point of view that he hasn’t shared. The fact that Schwartz will no longer have a safety blanket is going to be a significant game changer. 

Who Is Tom?

Tom being cast on Winter House is a blessing in disguise since, finally, viewers will be able to get to know the Vanderpump Rules star on his own, uninhibited by his former wife or friends. Honestly, Tom is funny, like really funny. The Winter House trailer showed Tom joking about his roommate, Katie Flood, saying, “Katie’s so hot, but I could never hook up with someone named Katie. This is the universe fu*king with me. It’s a good joke.”

The chance to appear solo will most likely be a great move for the bar owner, especially if VPR ends after Season 11. If Tom does well at replacing Austen Kroll and Craig Conover, it could solidify him another spot on a popular reality TV show, meaning he will still get a paycheck or two from Bravo. Everyone loves an underdog story, and maybe, just maybe, Tom can redeem himself after years of throwing drinks, siding with Sandoval, and just being a typical douche canoe.

Teddi Mellencamp’s Tearful Video After New Melanoma Diagnosis

Facing the next step. Teddi Mellencamp has been fighting skin cancer since March 2022, when she found the first of 12 melanomas. Over the next eight months, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star had each one of them removed. She was declared cancer free in December 2022.

Unfortunately, the former reality TV star and podcast host had another set back recently. Teddi posted a video to her Instagram page revealing that she was diagnosed with a further melanoma.

Teddi exercises to fix her “mindset”


Vlogging her run, Teddi spoke to her followers, and her emotion was palpable. Most striking was her admission that she was recently turned down for a life insurance policy.

“Even on your toughest days, movement will help get you through it. I’ve been running the gamut of emotions since my latest melanoma diagnosis — and yes, there are moments I just want to stay in bed and ignore the world,” Teddi tearfully said. “But the world still turns no matter what, so getting out there and moving my body, releasing my emotions, fixing my mindset— that’s the key.”

Known for her dedication to her workouts, Teddi said that running helped her “let things go.” The most recent diagnosis has forced the former RHOBH star to consider such matters as creating a will.

“I’m all for positive manifestation, what you believe you can achieve, all that. But I’m also about having the hard conversations with ourselves,” Teddi explained. “And I’m just thinking about all the things I can’t control — that I was turned down for life insurance or I haven’t written a last will and testament.”

But Teddi is trying to remain optimistic. She continued, “I truly do believe it’ll be a long time before I ever need those things, but I have to do it. I have to take action and not talking about the hard things doesn’t make them go away, it just makes them fester. But we can all do this together. We can fight the good fight.”

Hoping to raise awareness

When Teddi posted an image of the latest melanoma, she only did it in the spirit of educating the public. It’s all becoming very taxing for the Two T’s In A Pod podcast co-host.

“I found out late yesterday afternoon that the most recent spot biopsied is another melanoma. I can’t even remember if this is the 12th or 13th one,” she explained. “At this point, I am starting to black-out these memories like a portion of my childhood. I slept maybe two hours last night because my mind was racing.”

Teddi confided, “I am so grateful for my three-month checkup because we caught this one early. This means another surgery next week and additional biopsies. As I lay here with tears in my eyes and worry, I know my kids will be up soon. I have a podcast at 10. Life goes on. I am also reminded of my faith and the reminder I keep telling myself, ‘We can do hard things.’ We have so many beautiful things to look forward to.”

In the spirit of accountability that Teddi is known for, she encouraged her followers to list what they are grateful for if “feeling lost or scared.” She said she would do the same.

Ubah Hassan Thinks Brynn Whitfield Should Get Back With Her Ex

Brynn Whitfield and her vivacious nature is helping to shape the rebooted Real Housewives of New York. She’s got just the right amount of charm and wit about her, and she’s gorgeous to boot.

Her dating life has piqued fans’ interest, especially after showing up at Erin Lichy’s 10-year anniversary party and flirting with not only Erin’s dad, but her husband Abe the Babe. Some fans even suggested that Brynn works as an escort. She ended three engagements. It’s a bit turbulent to say the least.

But despite all the drama, there is one steady constant in her life. And that is Gideon. He’s one of Brynn’s ex-fiancés. In no particular order, apparently. The British native filmed a RHONY scene where the former couple were checking out a classic car. Their rapport was adorable, to say the least. And Gideon is clearly still smitten with his ex. So, the question of a potential reconciliation came up.

If Brynn is “smart,” she’ll go for it

Brynn’s co-star Ubah Hassan was asked her opinion on the matter during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live.

When asked about the chances that Brynn and Gideon would get back together, the model was all for it. Ubah said, “if she’s smart. she should get with him.”

“Lock it up?” host Andy Cohen suggested.

Ubah elaborated, “He’s great. He might be a little bit boring. But boring is good. She’s a fun one. Like, you can’t be the same people.”

There’s certainly something to that assessment. Brynn thrives in attention. And Gideon seems happy enough to take a backseat to her, especially if it’s the back seat of a classic car. Could those two crazy kids make it work?

Well, there is no news on whether Brynn has taken Ubah’s advice. Perhaps that’s something that’s something to look forward to in another RHONY season. In the meantime, Brynn is being fantastically entertaining as her single self.

Madison LeCroy’s Favorite Memory From Her Wedding to Brett Randle

Madison LeCroy is living in a whole new aura on the latest season of Southern Charm. Side-stepping all the drama and living in wedded bliss, the mother of one is revealing a whole new side of herself.

When Madison and Brett Randle met in October 2021, the reality TV star kept his identity under wraps. When the time was right, the couple went public. Since then, they’ve shared relationship details, their wedding photos, and now Brett is a cast member on Southern Charm.

So, with all this domesticated and wedded bliss to watch on our screens, People thought it would be a good time to go down memory lane with Madison regarding her nuptials to Brett. And the Southern Charm star shared a favorite memory from her big day.

Madison has “never seen” Brett cry

“I went against the rule of having a first look,” Madison told People in an exclusive interview. “I wanted him to have that initial reaction of seeing me walk down the aisle. And that was probably my favorite moment. Just seeing his face and how happy he was meant everything to me.”

The couple performed a courthouse ceremony in November 2022 in Charleston, South Carolina. Later that month, the couple hosted family in Mexico for a beachside ceremony. Madison wore a Reem Acra gown.

During her walk down the aisle, Madison recalled the California based firefighter getting emotional.

“His eyes were a little watery, but thank goodness he wasn’t crying, because I would’ve lost it. I’ve never seen him cry,” Madison revealed.

The couple have planned a modest getaway for their first anniversary. It’s a stark contrast to the lengthy honeymoon they took in Bali and Singapore.

“We [will] schedule that between work — it’s been kind of wild,” Madison teased. “It may not be as lavish as the world tour we went on for our honeymoon, but we’ll do something.
