Real Housewives of Miami Season 6, Episode 3 Recap: Larsa’s Loose Lips Sink Guerdy’s Ships

Another week, another preventable disaster caused by Larsa Pippen. The ladies are back in Real Housewives of Miami Season 6, Episode 3. Last week, fans were left on a cliffhanger as Larsa joined Guerdy Abraira for lunch and Guerdy struggled with whether to tell Larsa about the breast cancer diagnosis. Guerdy cried as she recommended Larsa offer “a safer space.”

Larsa Pippen cannot keep a secret (duh)

As Guerdy wept, Larsa demanded to know what the tears were for. Guerdy leaned in and finally said what all viewers knew: “I have breast cancer.” Larsa was (finally) left speechless, but only for a moment. When she did respond, she bafflingly said, “How am I supposed to know that?” Guerdy looked understandably frustrated.

Larsa then began asking how Guerdy knew she had breast cancer. “Are you seriously asking me how I know I have breast cancer?” Guerdy rightfully responded. After breaking it down, Larsa apologized, but in the most stand-offish way possible. Guerdy again asked for a safe space and told Larsa she told her “in confidence.”

To no one’s surprise (especially the editors’), six hours later, Larsa was already spilling the beans. At Marcus Jordan’s welcome home party, she told her friends as well as the rest of the Housewives cast. When Larsa’s friends told her to be a friend to Guerdy, she seemed to struggle to understand the concept.

Drama at Marcus’ welcome home party

Lisa Hochstein and Jody Glidden arrived at Larsa’s party in matching denim, comparing themselves to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake (unfortunate timing with the memoir). Marysol Patton and Steve McNamara arrived in matching black, followed by Kiki Barth. The women questioned the need for a welcome-home party after just five days of traveling.

When Larsa revealed Guerdy’s cancer diagnosis, Lisa, Kiki, and Marysol were understandably distraught. Alexia showed up with Todd Nepola, and she was equally distressed by the news of Guerdy. The ladies were surprised to see Todd at the party, especially since he skipped out on Alexia’s party. Once Marcus walked in, he expressed his surprise to see Todd as well.

Todd explained that he didn’t want to join the party because “people” on the guest list would have allegedly bad-mouthed his family and stepson. Though, Kiki believed Adriana de Moura was being used as a scapegoat. But Todd was ready to move on (a little too quickly). Marcus needed a drink.

Lisa’s stuck on Lenny at Jody’s expense

The group briefly discussed Larsa’s charity basketball game for the next day and celebrated Marcus’ homecoming over drinks. Lisa announced her attempts to become financially independent. Larsa told the camera about her experience of being “trapped” with Scottie Pippen. The men then stepped outside.

With Jody outside, Lisa started going off on Lenny Hochstein. “He doesn’t give a damn about me,” she began. The longer she went, the more her friends tried to get her to calm down. “He has tortured me my entire life,” Lisa said. As Jody went to use the bathroom, the other girls tried to warn Lisa, but she didn’t care.

Jody walked right past the conversation just as Lisa said, “Even though I have Jody in my life, I cry almost every night.” Mayrsol called Jody “a damn saint” for listening to the Lenny stories so often. Lisa would not drop the topic.

Rare wholesomeness on Real Housewives of Miami

Separately, Nicole Martin and Anthony Lopez went shopping for a replacement boat (there was nothing wrong with the current boat, they just wanted a bigger one). The two also discussed their intentions to have a second child.

Julia Lemigova, meanwhile, went to her secret opera lessons. Julia revealed she’d been learning opera in secret because her wife, Martina Navratilova, loved opera more than anything in the world, and she wanted to surprise her wife. While Julia’s technical skill perhaps wasn’t quite there yet, the sentiment was beyond sweet.

Elsewhere, Guerdy and her husband, Russell Abraira, were taking a walk and having a candid conversation (after discussing Guerdy’s “scared of bird phobia”). Russell told the kids about the diagnosis. Liam asked if it was contagious, and Guerdy smiled. Guerdy made sure Russell wasn’t too taxed with her “sh*t,” but he said, “Your sh*t is my sh*t,” and the two had a moment.

The drama’s only just begun

At Lisa’s house, Lisa spoke with Jody on the phone about Lenny, acknowledging that Jody was acting as her therapist. As her kids shouted for her, Lisa just stayed on the phone for a while. Lisa further acknowledged that she was being pulled away from motherhood, blaming Lenny, who allegedly once said, “One day, the kids will see who you really are, then they won’t even choose you.”

Nicole met up with her mom to discuss the new house and other life developments. “We’re trying,” she said in response to baby number two. She further explained that marriage was not a rush for her or Anthony, and she wasn’t worried about how her life would be if Anthony broke up with her.

Julia and Martina met up for lunch where Julia was met with a rude awakening. Due to her opera practices, she forgot the end of Martina’s treatment three days prior. “I genuinely feel horrible,” Julia said, but she couldn’t explain herself since she wanted the opera to be a surprise. Understandably, Julia became emotional due to the remorse.

Guerdy soon joined the pair to get some insight into the cancer treatment process. She admitted her fears regarding chemo and radiation, especially with the void of black breast cancer survivors out there. With many of Guerdy’s fears assuaged, the episode ended with Larsa and Marcus discussing the upcoming charity event, which a teaser showed to be a nightmare between Adriana and Marysol.

Real Housewives of Miami continues Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Ariana Madix Promises ‘Easter Eggs’ in Her Cruel Summer Rumba on DWTS

Swifties, brace yourself! Next week’s Dancing with the Stars episode is about to be everything and more. The upcoming theme is a Taylor Swift celebration, and all of the teams are going to be strutting their stuff to some of Tay Tay’s biggest songs.

Of course, Taylor won’t be there. She’s too busy running around with her new boo and performing to sold-out crowds. But, Mandy Moore will be guest judging! She did the choreography for Taylor’s Eras Tour, so it’s kind of like the next best thing, right?

PEOPLE chatted with Ariana Madix and her professional dance partner Pasha Pashkov about their upcoming performance for Taylor Swift Night. In the true spirit of T-Swift, Ariana teased that she and Pasha have some exciting Easter Eggs planned for their performance!

The Eras Tour meets DWTS

For Taylor Swift night, Ariana and Pasha lucked out and managed to snag Taylor’s current hit, “Cruel Summer.” She teased to the outlet, “I think there’s going to be some Easter Eggs, in classic Taylor style.”

Meanwhile, Pasha gushed about the technical aspects of the dance, revealing that they’re doing a rumba. He explained. “In general, as a dancer, when you listen to Taylor Swift’s music, a lot of the songs are perfect for beautiful rumbas, foxtrots, and Viennese waltzes.”

Taylor’s songs might be perfectly matched for a rumba, but Ariana’s life is perfectly matched for a Taylor song. No one navigates a breakup like Taylor, so after Ariana’s cruel summer, this will probably be a cathartic performance.

Of course, Pasha and Ariana couldn’t reveal all of the Easter Eggs they had planned for the performance. But, they did say that their costumes will be a direct nod to an outfit Taylor has worn.

Ariana has been dominating the competition so far in DWTS Season 32. In the past two weeks, she’s delivered killer performances celebrating Britney Spears and Whitney Houston. However, the Vanderpump Rules star hasn’t managed to pull off a perfect score just yet. Perhaps the Taylor Swift celebration will be the night she gets the big 40.

Dancing with the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ on Tuesdays at 8/7c.

Captain Lee Jokes Kyle Cooke Avoiding Him at BravoCon Was a ‘Highlight’

Kyle Cooke has made a rather unfavorable impression on Captain Lee Rosbach by proxy of his friendship with Carl Radke. The Loverboy founder was vocal about his concerns for Carl when he was in a relationship with Lindsay Hubbard. When Carl broke off the engagement with his Summer House co-star, Kyle made interview rounds sharing his opinion and what he had seen when they were filming together last.

As a result, Captain Lee puts some of the blame of the failed relationship on Kyle’s shoulders. So when the two Bravolebrities attended BravoCon 2023, they made sure to stay out of one another’s way to avoid feeling uncomfortable.

Captain Lee called it an “unusual moment”

Kyle admitted to The Messenger that he “kind of walked by” the Stud of the Sea at the event in Las Vegas.

“I was surprised to hear that Kyle Cooke said he avoided me at BravoCon,” Captain Lee responded during the November 15 episode of the Salty With Captain Lee podcast.

His co-host Sam DeCavalcanti asked if the resulting behavior was a “highlight.” The reality TV star replied, “I don’t know [if it was a highlight]. The fact that I didn’t have to talk to him probably might have been.”

“It was funny just to find out he was actually avoiding me. He flatters me. I think, I am not sure. That was an unusual moment at BravoCon,” he added. It seems Captain Lee’s ego enjoyed the lack of interaction.

Captain Lee had blamed Kyle for contributing to Carl and Lindsay’s split

In a previous podcast episode from November 1, the former Below Deck captain explained why he blames Kyle for adding stress to Carl and Lindsay’s relationship.

“You know know the guy who really kind of ticks me off in that whole situation? Kyle,” he stated. “I think he contributed to a certain degree.”

Referring to the infamous Season 7 argument between Carl and Kyle, Lee added, “Like that one night he got totally sh*t-faced drunk and called Lindsay everything under the book that you could think of in front of Carl. And Carl sat there and took it and didn’t get all bent out of shape and aggressive on him. Which he had every right to do.”

He also took offense to Kyle’s post-split interview comments and found them very tone-deaf.

“Kyle comes out and says he could see the cracks in the relationship. Wake up, you were part of the cracks. You are supposed to be Carl’s best friend, and all you do every waking moment that you’re talking to Carl is badmouthing Lindsay,” he opined.

“Is that what friends do? I feel bad for both of them. I think people that don’t know should realize that they don’t know, and they shouldn’t speculate because their words have impact.” He added: “I don’t know how Kyle and Carl stayed friends.”

Indeed, it’s interesting that Kyle and Carl’s friendship emerged unscathed from the break up mess. But perhaps speaks volumes as to the true underlying issues. As for Lee and Kyle, it seems there is little reason or motivation to mend fences.

Summer House is due to premiere in early 2024.

The Kardashians Season 4, Episode 8 Recap: Tristan Thompson Gets His Day in Kourt-ney

The Kardashians Season 4 is really trying to be Tristan Thompson’s redemption season. Khloe Kardashian’s messy ex/baby daddy has been doing overtime to weasel his way back into the family. Thankfully, Kourtney Kardashian and Kylie Jenner swooped in to remind everyone exactly why we were #TeamNoTristan in the first place. 

Kourtney and Kylie actually showed up to film several scenes in the latest episode, which is atypical for the sisters. Don’t get it twisted — Kim Kardashian still carries this family and the show that made them famous. However, it’s nice to see some supporting help. Here are five main takeaways from The Kardashians Season 4, Episode 8: “Not Forgotten, Not Forgiven.” 

Kim goes Hollywood, for real

Kim embarked on her acting journey this week. She was preparing to join American Horror Story and turned to none other than the theatrical Scott Disick to help her run lines. Scott was ready to support Kim all the way in New York City and split the rent for a place with her — 90 percent to Kim, 10 percent to Scott, of course. Kim took the role seriously by taking acting classes to memorize several pages of lines. She recognized that her goal for 2023 was to slow down. 

“That clearly hasn’t worked out,” Kim said. “I’m not going to show up unprepared.” 

Khloe cleans her hands of Tristan

Tristan may have finally moved out of Khloe’s house, but he’s still always lingering around in a tracksuit ready to break out a misused metaphor. Khloe partially felt obligated to stay close to her ex as she’s involved in making medical decisions for Tristan’s brother Amari. She promised Tristan’s mom that she would continue to help with Amari before she died. 

However, Khloe didn’t get involved when Tristan expressed his desire to apologize to her individual family members for his past cheating. He had apparently spoken to Kris Jenner, Kim, and Rob Kardashian at that point, but not the others. Khloe encouraged the idea but left it up to him to clean up his mess.

“This is between him and each individual family member,” Khloe said. “I think it’s important for him to have these conversations for his own growing journey.” When speaking to her sisters about the idea, Khloe doesn’t lose sight of the immense pain Tristan has caused her in their relationship.

“That’s the biggest mind f*ck of all of this,” Khloe said to Kylie. “You’re all of great fucking things but you couldn’t f*cking be great to me.” And that’s exactly why Khloe should never go back to him. 

King Kylie’s starring episode

One person that Tristan had a lot of explaining to do to was King Kylie. Kylie’s best friend Jordyn Woods was in the middle of a Tristan cheating scandal years ago that ruined her best friendship. Tristan took responsibility for ruining that, and Khloe admitted that she had forgiven Jordyn for her part and they were good. Now, Tristan geared up for a one-on-one chat with Kylie. 

Tristan came over to Kylie’s for the first time in years for the “long overdue” conversation. He acknowledged that his actions caused her to lose a person who was a major part of her life. Kylie reflected that if the Jordyn situation hadn’t happened, she would still be living with her and, in retrospect, it was probably best for them to grow individually apart. Kylie and Jordyn are apparently on good terms these days, and Tristan asked for Kylie to pass along his apology. Sir, that is probably another conversation you should probably have yourself. It doesn’t make Jordyn’s feelings less important just because her last name isn’t Kardashian/Jenner. 

Kim craves the lazy life

Kim was booked and busy in NYC preparing for her TV debut, trying on her dress for the Met Gala, and supporting Kourtney during Blink-182’s stop in the city. She was exhausted and, for the first time in her life, overslept through her alarm. She also was so delirious in the morning during a SKIMS promo that she was spilling secrets to fans without thinking about the future of the brand.

“This whole morning has been a complete foggy dream,” Kim said, half-asleep. 

Kim admitted that American Horror Story put her over the edge, but she can’t say no or shy away from a challenge because she feared the opportunity would never return in the future. 

“I work hard to make sure it doesn’t go away,” Kim said. “I said ‘no’ to someone and they stopped speaking to me.” Kris remained worried that Kim was going to burn out, but Kimmy clearly wanted to prove to us always that she could do the unthinkable. 

Kourtney’s epic comeback

Tristan had a bit tougher time in his one-on-one talk with Kourtney than Kylie. Kourtney showed up with a notebook of grievances and ready to get the hard truth out of Tristan, not flowery language that fits what the family wanted to hear. Tristan admitted it was like being in the principal’s office. 

“Tristan and I really have not connected and I just can’t fake it,” Kourtney said. 

Kourtney got Tristan to reveal how he feels the day after cheating and realize that he never learned how to love as a child. Tristan claimed that his mom sheltered him from a lot of pain inflicted on her by his dad, so he’s never had to deal with hard emotions. Rather, he masks them.

Kourtney reminded Tristan that he’s made multiple mistakes, including blindsiding Khloe, repeatedly. Then, she hit him with the hardest truth before the show gave us an ominous “to be continued.” 

“I don’t think you deserve Khloe or the actions that you’ve done have been something that she deserves,” Kourtney proclaimed. And now, we finally said it.

The Kardashians airs on Thursdays on Hulu.
