Real Housewives of Miami Season 6, Episode 5 Recap: The Ladies Say “F*ck Cancer”

Real Housewives of Miami Season 6, Episode 5 has arrived, and the confrontations are beginning to pile up in “A Night at the Opera.” Tensions continued rising between Alexia, Marysol, and Adriana after the sprinter van incident last week. Meanwhile, Guerdy has found out that Larsa spilled her cancer diagnosis to the rest of the Housewives. It seems all good intentions are done away with on RHOM Season 6, Episode 5.

The “real” injuries of Miami

Speaking of good intentions being met with unfortunate fates, Marysol and Kiki both ended up with some tough injuries after playing in Larsa’s charity basketball game. Of course, one of those injuries looked a bit more legitimate than the other.

While Marysol said she was “self-diagnosing” with a sling over her arm, Kiki’s ankle was noticeably swollen. At least Marysol showed some self-awareness when saying, “The brain is always broken.” The two recapped the previous week for a moment, Marysol griping about Adriana’s flatulence once again. (Apparently, Marysol can excuse “f*ck,” but “fart” is where she draws the line).

Regarding the other Housewives, Kiki said Nicole was the first to call her and ask if she was all right. On the other hand, Kiki expected some communication from Larsa but received none. Kiki admitted that she felt she was losing her best friend to Marcus Jordan.

Elsewhere, Alexia and Todd hosted a little double date for themselves, Nicole, and Anthony. The four partook in a cooking lesson, making pizza together. They discussed Todd’s apology that he left to Anthony – a nine-minute-long apology, combined with a delivery of flowers, chocolates, and a card.

Anthony admitted that he thought the apology was initially fake, his secretary laughing as she delivered it to him. Of course, they all took it in stride, and Anthony said there were “no hard feelings.” The conversation then moved to Julia’s upcoming “F*ck Cancer” party. Alexia admitted that she didn’t like the fact that the party would be at Adriana’s house.

Adriana offended Alexia when she suggested Alexia wanted Todd for his money. Nicole admitted confusion to the cameras since Alexia, Todd, and Adriana had different narratives surrounding the “Nuevos Horizontes” party, and Todd’s absence. “The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle,” Nicole said.

Familial anguish for Larsa and Adriana

Larsa and Marcus started their podcast, much to the annoyance of their audio engineer. On the podcast and with the cameras, they discussed how each of their families had warmed up to the relationship. Granted, when a producer asked Larsa if she had seen Michael Jordan at Thanksgiving, Larsa replied flatly, “I just don’t wanna talk about him.”

On the other side of Miami, Adriana prepared herself to undergo her first ketamine treatment, and Julia graciously agreed to drive her there. While on the way, Julia gave Marysol a ring to invite her to the “F*ck Cancer” party. Marysol initially seemed on board, but when Julia mentioned it was at Adriana’s house, Marysol said she’d have a medical procedure she’d be recuperating from. Adriana said it was “bullsh*t,” and called Julia “gullible.”

Eventually, they arrived at Adriana’s treatment. Things started a bit silly, and Julia was convinced she’d never try ketamine. But as the minutes went on, Adriana began seeing her brother and father, who passed away. “I love you. I should’ve gone first,” she said. She and Julia sobbed as Julia took her hand. Adriana spoke again. “I never got to say goodbye.” The treatment guide said Julia could seek peace now that she’d tapped into her loss.

Larsa questions the truth of Guerdy’s diagnosis

Later that night, Lisa and Jody attended an F1 Racing party with Larsa, Marcus, and Kiki. However, Kiki quickly noted that she was the fifth wheel. “I miss hanging out with my friend, Marcus,” she said. Larsa, on the other hand, told cameras she was past wanting to just hang out with her friends. Kiki said she struggled to find men she wanted to date.

As the night progressed, Lisa told her friends how she tried to speak with Guerdy about her breast cancer diagnosis. When Lisa and Guerdy spoke, Guerdy initially pretended not to know what Lisa was talking about. As Lisa pushed it, Guerdy knew immediately who told Lisa about the diagnosis, saying, “I tested someone because I knew they couldn’t keep their mouth shut.”

When Lisa reported on this, Larsa said, “I don’t have time for tests. She needs to grow up.” At that point, Larsa began to question the validity of Guerdy’s diagnosis, specifically because Guerdy was drinking, which Larsa supposed Guerdy ought not to do if she did have cancer.

As everyone prepared for the “F*ck Cancer” party, Guerdy spoke with her husband about how overwhelming it was for everyone to know, revealing she turned her phone off. Guerdy voiced her frustrations with Larsa as Russell tried to calm her. Guerdy promised she’d be classy while at the party.

Julia showed her stress on her face as she readied her performance space. She’d practiced so long, and the night had finally arrived. She practiced once more, acknowledging the challenge considering she’d never sung in her life. From there, guests began arriving.

Guerdy was happy to arrive at the party, saying it gave her a great deal of hope that Martina had beaten two cancers. Alexia arrived shortly thereafter, having called and texted earlier that day. Once together at the party, Alexia admitted that she’d already known previously about the diagnosis.

Larsa has arrived, and Guerdy’s not happy

Guerdy wasn’t surprised, but still didn’t take it well, saying Larsa needed to “be corrected.” She told Alexia that Guerdy’s confession to Larsa was given in confidence. Things got worse when Nicole arrived. Nicole revealed that Larsa called her, asking if Guerdy’s troubles were “real.” Guerdy remarked on the hypocrisy in saying Guerdy had cancer only to backpedal and question if she did, in fact, have cancer.

Martina soon arrived with her dog, greeted by nearly all the Housewives. The cast remarked that Lisa was notably absent. They noted that an article had come out recently, where Lenny accused Lisa and Jody of planting a recording device in his car. At the very least, Alexia and Adriana managed to behave around each other.

Larsa soon arrived, and the tone immediately shifted. They continued on the topic of Lisa, but Guerdy interrupted and said, “Not now with the gossip, guys.” When Larsa asked, “What?” Guerdy responded, “I’m not talking to you.” As the girls all raised a glass, Guerdy also pointed out how her doctor approved drinking.

From there, Larsa called Lisa, only to find out that the police were at her house.

Real Housewives of Miami continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Tamra Judge Reveals Wild Story on Being Cast for Real Housewives of Orange County

Every Real Housewives star has an origin story. They don’t just appear fully formed on Bravo. And while some were more popular than others before stepping into the Housewives world, hearing how they got started is always interesting. 

The latest to share her “origin story” was Tamra Judge, who told Alex Baskin how she got cast for Real Housewives of Orange County on Bravo’s Hot Mic Podcast. The timing is perfect as the housewife returned to the show this year. 

How Tamra Judge was cast on RHOC: From open house to open life

Tamra joined RHOC in Season 3 when she was “on the verge of turning 40,” as host Alex pointed out. “And you were reconciling aging in Orange County,” he added as he asked how she ended up on the show.

“I was in a bad marriage and just a bad place in my life,” Tamra added. “It wasn’t the life I saw for myself.”

Then, one day, she and a girlfriend were sending each other instant messages, and her friend mentioned there were going to be auditions for the Real Housewives and asked if she wanted to go. Tamra immediately responded, “No, I have an open house that day. I can’t make it.”

Either way, Tamra decided to fill out the online application form anyway.

“I know there was a line around the door at the Balboa Bay Club,” she said about the auditions. “Of people with pictures of their Rolls Royces and bank statements.” She felt she was too normal and there was nothing exciting about her.

A little bit obnoxious

But she was wrong. The producers saw something they liked in her application and called and came over to meet her. “They came over. And I think, just in general, I’m a little bit obnoxious,” she shared. “Especially when I get nervous. And I think I said something about Jeana Keough. They asked if I knew her, and I was like, ‘Yeah, I know her. I run circles around her.'” 

But that wasn’t true. Tamra recalled she was just starting in real estate at the time. “I was just saying sh*t.” Either way, she made an impression, and they asked her to fill out another thick application form and said they’d be in touch.

They returned to meet her then-husband, Simon Barney, and the kids. Then, she eventually found out it was down to her and another real estate agent in her neighborhood, which brought out her claws.

“I was like, ‘Aw, hell no,'” she laughed. After that, she waited and waited. And when she didn’t hear from them, she decided to call the producer herself. “I’m like, ‘Hey Pete, it’s Tamra. Did I get the f*cking job or not?’ And then I hung up.”

He called her back, laughing, and confirmed she got the job. And that’s how Tamra ended up on RHOC. Looks like sometimes being obnoxious pays off.

Dancing with the Stars Season 32, Episode 10 Recap: Who Is Waltzing Into the Finals?

(Disney/Eric McCandless)

Hi again! It’s time for the Dancing with the Stars Season 32, Episode 10 recap! It’s the semi-finals, and all five couples will dance twice. Each couple will perform a ballroom dance and a Latin dance to try and win their way into the December 5 DWTS finale. The Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy is nearly in reach for one dancing duo. Last week, Harry and his partner Rylee were booted from the ballroom during Taylor Swift Night. Here’s everything that happened in DWTS Season 32, Episode 10: The Semi-Finals!

Ariana and Pasha

(ABC/Andrew Eccles)

First dance: Jive to Runaway Baby by Bruno Mars. 

Vanderpump Rules star Ariana and her partner Pasha danced a fast-paced jive. She danced the fringe off her dress.

Judge Derek called it “fantastic.” Bruno proclaimed it a “runaway hit.” Carrie Ann called it “fabulous.”

Ariana scored 28 out of 30 points.

Second dance: Foxtrot to Trampoline by SHAED & ZAYN.

This foxtrot from Ariana and Pasha was fluid and entertaining. Derek called it “sensational.” He added that it was “captivating” and “wonderful.” Bruno complimented it as “brilliant.”

Carrie Ann exclaimed, “She’s baacckkk!” I didn’t know that Ariana was ever missing.

Ariana received 30 out of 30 points. Ariana’s first perfect score! Her total for the night was 58 out of 60 points.

Jason and Daniella  

(ABC/Andrew Eccles)

First dance: Viennese Waltz to I Won’t Give Up by Jason Mraz.

Singer Jason and Daniella performed a graceful and romantic Viennese Waltz to one of my favorite songs. Bruno noted that he danced like “a gentleman.”

Carrie Ann felt that she wanted more “emotional freedom” in his dancing. Derek said Jason’s routine was “a proper Viennese Waltz.”

Jason earned 27 out of 30 points. He became emotional when reflecting on everything that he had learned from Daniella.

Second dance: Paso Doble to Diablo Rojo by Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Daniella and Jason danced a strong and dramatic Paso Doble. Jason even did the knee walks!

Carrie Ann hugged Jason. She called their routine “magic.” Derek said this routine could carry them to the finals. Bruno called the performance “diabolical.”

Jason scored 30 out of 30 points. Their total for the night was 57 out of 60 points.

Xochitl and Val

(ABC/Andrew Eccles)

First dance: Samba to the aptly-named Samba by Gloria Estefan. 

Xochitl and Val performed a fun and fast-paced samba. Carrie Ann called it “spectacular” and called Xochitl “a star.” Derek “loved it.” And Bruno named her “the samba diva.” I feel some 10s coming on for these “bros.” And how cute is it that Val calls his partner “bro?”

Xochitl scored 30 out of 30 points.

Second dance: Waltz to La Vie en Rose by Lady Gaga.

Xochitl and Val’s waltz was emotion-driven and celebrated her journey on DWTS. Derek teared up while telling the duo “Len would have loved that dance. That was absolutely perfect.”

Bruno stated that Xochitl “is an artist.” Carrie Ann also broke down in tears. She “never wanted it to end.”

Xochitl earned 30 out of 30 points. Their total for the night was 60 out of 60 points. Perfection!

DWTS pros perform

The dancers who will be hitting the road for the DWTS Live 2024 Tour danced to Janelle Monáe’s song, Make Me Feel. This sexy routine was choreographed by Mandy Moore. Emma danced on a table and chair with four male pros. It must be Emma’s dream come true.

Charity and Artem

(ABC/Andrew Eccles)

First dance: Rumba to Love The Way You Lie Part III by Skylar Grey. 

The Bachelorette star Charity and her partner, Artem, danced a sensual rumba. It looks like Charity tapped into her feelings during this performance. Derek raved that she “made that look effortless.” But then he noted that there was a lack of connection.

Bruno objected and climbed onto Derek to demonstrate how Charity was all over Artem. Bruno felt that she was “emoting.” Carrie Ann commended her for having her “breakthrough.” She called it “artistry in motion.”

Charity scored 29 out of 30 points.

Second dance: Quickstep to BO$$ by Fifth Harmony.

This dancing duo’s quickstep was fresh and fun. Bruno complimented Charity’s “sass.” Derek gave his famous slow clap and noted her “energy and excitement.”

Charity received 30 out of 30 points. Her first perfect score! She has a total of 59 out of 60 points for the night.

Alyson and Sasha 

(ABC/Andrew Eccles)

First dance: Jive to Footloose by Kenny Loggins. 

Alyson and Sasha danced a cute jive. That neon monstrosity of a display on the stage was distracting. Bruno loved the country-western flavor of the dance. He called out a couple of errors.

Carrie Ann praised her journey from a non-dancer to a dancer. Derek “can’t help but root for her.”

Alyson received 25 out of 30 points.

Second dance: Waltz to Come Away With Me by Norah Jones.

This waltz from Alyson and Sasha was elegant. Carrie Ann shared how proud she was of Alyson. Unfortunately, there was some unfancy footwork.

Derek said it was Alyson’s best dance yet. Bruno called it “so pretty” and “dreamlike.”

Alyson earned 26 out of 30 points. Their total was 51 out of 60 points.

The leaderboard

  • Xochitl and Val – 60 points
  • Charity and Artem – 59 points
  • Ariana and Artem – 58 points
  • Jason and Daniella – 57 points
  • Alyson and Sasha – 51 points

Who went home on the Dancing with the Stars Season 32 semi-finals?

No one! All five couples will compete in the Season 32 finale. That is a first for DWTS. All the judges’ and viewers’ votes will carry over into next week.

And Ariana wasn’t the only person who felt like they were going to vomit for the last two hours. Please pass the ginger ale.

We will see you next week for the Dancing with the Stars finale on Tuesday, airing on ABC and streaming on Disney+ (when I lose three more pounds from nerves…)

TELL US – WHO HAD THE BEST ROUTINE? WERE YOU SHOCKED ALL FIVE COUPLES ARE IN THE FINALE? WHO DO YOU THINK WILL TAKE HOME THE LEN GOODMAN MIRRORBALL TROPHY?
