Patti Stanger knows a prosperous wallet pairing when she sees one. For years, she matched couples together over on Bravo’s hit series The Millionaire Matchmaker. Now, she’s making a return to her roots via The Matchmaker, which premieres soon on the CW. Clearly, she’s all about spotting a great love match, and on this, she’s predicting a forever kind of pairing for Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick.
Currently starring on The Valley, these two are already making plans for their futures. They want a baby, a marriage, and a farmhouse that’s not on Jax Taylor’s street. Wherever they land though, they’re in it to win it, so Patti’s words are likely thrilling them to no end.
While appearing on Watch What Happens Live, Bravo’s daddy Andy Cohen noted that “Patti’s very involved with the folks on The Valley,” which he “thinks is interesting.” He then notes that Patti had told him “before the show” that she thinks that “Kristen and Luke are end.” On this, Patti agrees, further explaining her backstage predictions.
“He’s the calm in her storm. She’s been through crazy. They’re really serious. They’ll get married soon,” she replies. As Andy’s heard saying “Wow,” Patti adds that she’s “really proud of” Kristen.
However, she’s not predicting the same endgame for their costars, Jax and Brittany Cartwright. When Andy asks if they should “get back together,” Patti simply quips “no.”
On children, Luke has stated that “we both want [marriage] someday … we want it when we feel like things have stabilized. But with Kristen’s timeline, her body clock, the baby’s more the priority.”
As for marriage, Luke’s got thoughts that might oppose Patti’s. In his own words, he says “Everyone seemed to have the opinion that [marriage] was the right way to go, yet we see all these people getting divorced. I’m like, ‘O.K., why involve the government in our choice to start a family?’ is kind of how I’m looking at marriage.”
Hopefully, these two will make it nice. However that might look.
Keep up with these messing pairings on The Valley every Tuesday at 9/8c on Bravo.

Jeff Probst is one of the most beloved reality competition hosts. He’s kind, level-headed, and does his best to make the castaways feel comfortable. He handles conflict on the show well but like anyone, he has his moments of losing his cool.
Fans first witnessed Jeff’s disdain for quitters in Season 7 when Osten Taylor became the first contestant to leave the show. The host was not happy with Osten’s decision and questioned his motives for coming on the show in the first place.
“Let me ask you something Osten, have you wondered what the h*ll you’re doing out here?” he asked the discouraged contestant. After he snuffed Osten’s torch, he expressed how he felt about quitters.
“With all due respect to Osten, people work too damn hard to get in this game and fight to stay alive. If he wants to lay his torch down, so it shall be.”
When Ben got aggressive (Samoa)
In Season 19, Jeff drew a line in the sand after castaway Ben Browning got aggressive in a challenge. Jeff eliminated Ben after he saw him hitting and tripping his fellow castaways.
“You’re done,” he told Ben in a stern voice.
When Boston Rob got eliminated (Heroes vs. Villains)
Jeff doesn’t usually show bias, except when fan-favorite Rob Mariano “Boston Rob” is playing the game. Rob was voted out early in the season and Jeff couldn’t help but question the tribe’s decision.
“If given the choice of Tyson [Apostol] or Boston Rob over say Courtney [Yates], I think 99 out of 100 people would probably pick Tyson or Boston Rob. Courtney, you’ve [sat] out a majority of the challenges…Boston Rob was dominating.”
The direct Courtney call-out was crazy. I love it when he gets sassy.
When the castaways tried to make a trade (Blood vs. Water)
In Survivor: Blood vs. Water, the Hunahpus tribe tried to make a deal with Jeff but he was not having it. The tribe lost their flint, so they proposed trading a bag of beans in exchange for new flint. Jeff pretty much laughed in their faces and mocked the proposal. That is my Scorpio king!
When Colton quit (Blood vs. Water)
Colton Cumbie threw a fit and quit in Blood vs. Water and Jeff was not feeling the crocodile tears.
“So, Colton, you came back for a second time because you said, ‘I’ve changed, I’ve grown, and I want to show everybody.’ You are now doing the exact opposite,” he told the castaway. “You’re punishing them by costing them a tribe member in a game about numbers.”
“A very selfish move,” he added.
After lecturing Colton about his selfishness, Jeff put the final nail in the coffin when he told him he should’ve “never gotten off the couch,” implying he was better off watching at home. Shots fired. Feisty Jeff is the best Jeff.
When Abi-Maria kept sitting out of challenges (Philippines)
In Survivor: Philippines, Jeff let castaway Abi-Maria Gomes know how he felt about her continuously sitting out of challenges. The host made numerous comments about her lack of participation during a challenge. When her tribe ended up winning and she was handed the Immunity Idol, he suggested she give it to someone who actually participated in the challenge. Yikes.
When Dan got kicked out of the game (Island of the Idols)
Dan Spilo became the first player to be ejected from the game after displaying inappropriate behavior.
Jeff confronted Dan about his behavior at Tribal Council and things got heated. After Dan complained about Jeff not letting the issue go, he replied, “You’re right. I will never let it go. We’ll be here until day 39.” Jeff was clearly frustrated with the player and let him know the issue was series business.
When NaOnka & Kelly quit (Nicaragua)
You know by now that Jeff really hates quitters. He’s never reacted kindly to people self-eliminating but perhaps no one got it worse than NaOnka Mixon and Kelly Shinn in Nicaragua. From laughing at NaOnka for thinking she once had a shot at winning to calling them “quitters,” it was clear he was pissed about their decision. Note to self, don’t go on Survivor if you can’t take the heat.

Welcome to the Summer House Season 8, Episode 14 recap! In this week’s episode, titled “From Dusk Till Donne,” the group will rally around Danielle as she finally launches her fashion app. Last week West opened up a bit more to Ciara about his true intentions but stepped in some sh*t while taking her on the horseback riding date. Jesse was given some unsettling news on his five-year cancer check-up, but luckily, the gang rallied around him.

Finally, after years of hearing about Danielle being an app creator, fans are seeing Danielle create her own vision! As Danielle explains, Donne will serve as both a digital catalog of your closet and a tool for clients and stylists to connect. This week’s episode showed fans the exclusive launch party complete with digital effects.
Danielle joked that the app “has been a long time coming.” She wants those who use her product to feel comfortable and “donne” their best look. Danielle notes that for those 90s viewers, it’s a “better version of the Cher from Clueless closet.” And even Paige approved it, so I’m in!

Mixed within the 125 guests are the rest of the Summer House cast who came to show Danielle some love. Perhaps the number one guest has to be Jesse, who had everyone worried about him and his diagnosis.
Jesse noted that the doctors didn’t even call him in the morning, saying he had to call them! The nurse said, “Oh yeah, everything is fine. You just had calcium build up.” The rookie made light of his health situation, saying, “I’ve been drinking my milk. Eating my Wheaties. Strong ass nut, let’s go!”
And as if perfectly timed, his best friend, West, ran up to him, offering a giant hug. I love these two and their bromance. Last week showed just how close the two have become, as West comforted Jesse while he worried about the unknown.
Lindsay and Carl are at it again…

Just when I thought we could get a bit of a break from the Lindsay/Carl saga, they are back in the center of my screen. Lindsay clearly is trying to hide her squeamish demeanor by wearing a Big Bird-esque silk suit. The influencer tells the cameras she has been “walking on eggshells with Carl since last Sunday.” Let me remind you: last Sunday, Carl was mad about having to drive home alone and sped off, ditching Lindsay’s luggage.
A lot of truth-telling occurred at the Donne event, with Paige admitting, “I like living wherever I want until I have children. And then when I have children they have to go to school and stuff. So you have to live in one place. And I think that place should be New York City, Connecticut, Long Island, New Jersey.” Fans don’t need a psychic to know Paige has no intention of moving to Charleston.
However, coming in under the radar is Gabby’s ability to put West on the spot. As the Missouri man shared details of his date with Ciara, Gabby asked, “But are you afraid to take the next step and commit?” When West notes that this is his usual pace, Gabby balks. She asks, “So you’re not afraid to commit that?” But when West takes way too long to answer, Gabby pulls back and raises an eyebrow.
Am I in the Twilight Zone?

Yet again, as the episode came to a close, fans watched Lindsay and Carl have the same fight. After discussing his future with Kyle at Loverboy, Lindsay jumped in headfirst with the questions, asking, “Did you guys negotiate in that conversation?” Carl replied no, noting, “He was sharing things that were kind of in line with what I was thinking. I still have not gotten anything in writing and I need something in writing to actually move forward.” Carl shared the intricacies of Kyle’s verbal offer, which included receiving 10% of profits, $2,000 for each appearance, and a $3,000 monthly stipend.
As Carl shared his excitement about the offer, Lindsay seemed less than impressed. The PR guru clapped back, saying, “What on earth am I supposed to be like ‘yay’ about? Nothing has been done,” the former publicist said. Carl then left in a huff, telling the blonde, “You decide what I’m going to do with my career. That’d be great. I’m done.” So touchy, Carl.
Summer House continues Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
