The competition is heating up on Season 2 of House of Villains. After Larsa came crashing into the game as a surprise contestant last week, the game has officially begun. Let’s just consider those first two episodes a test run, shall we? This week, the competition got real as they cut the lineup of villains from ten to nine. Here’s what went down on House of Villains Season 2, Episode 4, “High-Voltage Villains.”

What happened in House of Villains Season 2, Episode 4?

After getting put on the Hit List, Jessie, Safaree, and Richard competed in an electrifying Redemption Challenge to try to keep themselves in the game. Meanwhile, the rest of the villains tried to sort out their shaky alliances. It turns out it’s not so easy to make friends with a bunch of other reality TV villains, and by the end of Episode 4, they voted to send another player packing. He got flipped through the Stronghold walls, never to be seen again. Let’s get into the dirty details.

Camilla did damage control

Last week, Camilla took a huge shot by nominating Wes, Safaree, and Richard for the Hit List. Not only had she already formed an alliance with Wes, but Richard was practically begging her to nominate New York. Camilla threw them both under the bus by taking her own route.

Unfortunately for her, Victoria found the super-secret Knock Blocker and used that to save Wes from the Hit List. That meant Camilla did all of that strategizing and posturing for nothing. This week, she had to try to make things right with Wes.

When the two of them sat down to talk about her betrayal, she had a hard time justifying it. They didn’t have these types of conversations on Bad Girls Club, so we got a bunch of word salad. She admitted to him, “I may have made a wrong move,” before claiming she had just put him up as a decoy.

Although Wes told Camilla that he would be willing to move on from it, he said in a confessional that he’d be seeking vengeance as soon as he could. Watch your back, Camilla!

Victoria vs. the World

Once again, Victoria found herself fighting with the other villains. Per usual, it had nothing to do with the game and everything to do with her behavior.

It all started when Kandy overheard her saying how she would use the $200,000 prize money if she won. She admitted that she would use it to pay off some parking tickets and various other expenses that are pretty ordinary.

When Kandy went and told the rest of the house what Victoria said, that triggered something in The Bachelor alum. She felt like the villains were judging her, and then she got upset again over a seat. It’s a good thing they didn’t eliminate this girl in Episode 2 because she brings the drama.

At one point, in between fighting with other villains, she lamented to Larsa about her financial issues. She floated the idea of restarting her OnlyFans account, and Larsa being the sweet soul that she is, offered to help. That’s an offer Victoria should definitely take because we know the Real Housewives of Miami star rakes in the big bucks with her feet pics.

A shocking Redemption Challenge

After Kandy and Victoria got done bickering over where they’d sit in the SUV, the villains arrived at their Redemption Challenge, where Season 1 villain Bobby Lytes introduced an insane maze that seemed straight out of Fear Factor. The game was called Body Snatchers.

There were three blow-up dolls at the center of the maze representing each of the at-risk villains. One at a time, they had to navigate their way through the maze with blindfolds on to reduce their blow-up doll. The fastest person to get through the maze would get removed from the Hit List.

It sounded easy before Bobby shared the news that the walls of the maze were electrified, and the villains would have to choose another player to guide them through it. Lord help these people.

Richard chose Kandy, Safaree picked Wes, and then for some reason, Jessie chose Larsa. If you’ve seen Larsa’s behavior on RHOM, you would definitely question that decision. However, she managed to help Jessie navigate the maze with the quickest time, and he won safety from elimination! Miracles do happen.

Mr. Pecs reawakened his inner gamer

Unless you’re a Big Brother fan, it’s easy to forget that Jessie comes from a competitive reality show. So far, his main focus has just been showing off his pecs. We’re not complaining, but after Victoria put him on the Hit List, he realized that he needed to get into gamer mode. He won safety this week, but what about next week? He decided to start making moves to keep a firm position in the game.

First, he went to Richard to try to get an idea of where his head was. Then, he snuck over to Kandy to have an interesting conversation. He admitted that he felt like he needed to weaken Wes’ chokehold on the competition, and said that he’d be willing to turn against the alliance and vote with the women in the house. That conversation made it sound like Safaree had just scored two votes for banishment.

Meanwhile, Safaree was trying to make the best of his time in the house, just in case the vote didn’t go in his favor. The camera cut to him and Larsa in the kitchen, where he tried to get a little flirtatious with the mother of three. It’s no wonder she got over her ex-boyfriend while filming this show.

Who was the second villain banished on House of Villains Season 2?

Although it seemed like the villains were swaying towards eliminating Safaree, Joel announced at the end of Episode 4 that Richard had been voted out of the competition. Unfortunately for the Survivor OG, the vote was unanimous.

In a flashback, we saw each of the villains make their decisions. Kandy said she decided to vote out Richard because she knew there weren’t enough votes to save him. She thought going with the flow of the house would help keep her safe for another week.

Before Camilla pressed the big red button to send Richard out of the competition, he gave a few colorful words to his fellow villains.

“You nasty bastards and bitches,” Richard shouted before getting flipped through the walls of the Stronghold.

Sorry Richard, you can’t win them all! Meanwhile, Camilla sat there in her thigh-high black boots feeling on top of the world. She just took down a Survivor champion, but can she keep the winning streak going?

New episodes of House of Villains air on E! at 10/9c on Thursday nights.

RHONY’s Jessel Taank and Husband Pavit Randhawa Play The Newlywed Game

Photo Credit: John Nacion/Getty Images

The Real Housewives of New York couple have a specific type of banter. Pavit Randhawa and Jessel Taank interact in a very endearing and comical manner. Some fans find Pavit’s comments off-putting. But the duo recently played The Newlywed Game, and the results proved that the fundamentals are present in the marriage.

Pavit and Jessel have been married for ten years and have twin boys, Kai and Rio. The RHONY star shared her fertility struggles, including conceiving her boys through IVF and being on the fence about having a third child.

The beginning of the game had Jessel Taank feeling like a “dysfunctional” couple

RHONY producers had Jessel and Pavit play The Newlywed Game. Their answers didn’t always match. And the fashion entrepreneur joked how “dysfunctional” they are.

They had differing answers about which New York landmark represents them as a couple. Jessel chose “the Empire State Building.” Pavit chose “Rikers Island,” which caused his wife to react in shock.

“Next question,” Pavit declared.

“A first-class trip to Greece,” Jessel said of her spouse’s most romantic gesture. He corrected Jessel by saying “Everything I do is romantic.”

“Oh my god, you are so full of BS it’s not even funny,” she replied. “The trip to Greece was very good. He flew me first class to Greece and we weren’t even married. So, like, he was trying to get it, you know.”

Pavit couldn’t come up with any answer in return. Though Jessel suggested, “I carried your freaking children.”

“OK, I got my thing … I let you do whatever you want — that’s pretty romantic,” the RHONY star countered.

Pavit kept joking that perhaps Jessel’s romantic gesture was to get him a bottle of water.

“Stop it! Come on! I let you go halfway across the world to do whatever you want to do,” she said referring to his quick trip to Vietnam last season.

Pavit admitted, “True, I’ll give you that one.”

The next question was to name their craziest New York City adventure. The Central Park Zoo was Pavit’s answer.

“We met random strangers at dinner and we partied with them all night,“ Jessel responded.

Jessel and Pavit finally got some points

The duo finally had the same answer for their most romantic spot in Manhattan. This finally got them their first point.

“It’s where dreams are made of. Bergdorf Goodman [department store],” Jessel said. Pavit wrote, “Any handbag store.”

Pavit’s favorite place in the city is “the Halal chicken cart,” according to Jessel. Her husband also wrote, “street food cart.”

“By the way, he will go there by himself, without me, and that’s where the romance is: him, a plastic fork, some hot sauce, and chicken and rice,” Jessel shared.

The couple scored on the next four questions. They chose Bali as the place they wanted to travel to most. Falling down the stairs was the most embarrassing thing that happened to them.

When they were asked, “What’s a secret talent you wish the other would showcase more often,” Pavit revealed that his wife spoke Japanese.

“You should showcase it more,” he added.

Pavit said that Jessel’s favorite thing about him was his credit cards, though his wife is hoping he will up his limit. For the same question, the Bravolebrity said she loves Pavit’s dimples.

Why Shannon Beador Should Have Sent Heather Dubrow and Tamra Judge Home From London Trip

Photo Credit: D Dipasupil/Getty Images

All Shannon Beador of Real Housewives of Orange County was trying to do was have a stress-free birthday trip. But Heather Dubrow and Tamra Judge know Shannon is always stressed. The drama seems to follow Shannon wherever she goes. Since her DUI, Shannon has been forced to hear everyone’s opinion of her since Season 18 began, which is normal because she’s on a reality show. But I don’t think asking for her friends to support her was too much, especially when she splashed out for the trip to London.

The entire point of the cast trip to England was to celebrate Shannon’s milestone birthday. However, the first night did not go as intended. Shannon stormed away from the dinner table only to yell at the women from behind bars which is the waiting room for the elevator. Just after the drinks had been served, a Belvedere and soda, Heather and Tamra decided they would call their friend out on her white lies. Both women were confused by Shannon’s recent appearance on the Jeff Lewis podcast and wanted Shannon to clarify her statements.

Heather noted that she felt Shannon had used her to garner sympathy, but that wasn’t the case. Shannon confided in Fancy Pants that she questioned how John Janssen couldn’t have heard the accident the night of her DUI since it happened right outside his front door. However, on the podcast, Shannon noted that she had never really thought of the reason why John slept soundly in his bed. The math didn’t math for the women. After their accusations, they left Shannon in tears. She didn’t even get to eat her cake. 

Tamra Judge is working on her recruitment

A post shared by Bravo (@bravotv)

My big question to Tamra is, why go on a European trip if you don’t like the host (because it’s her job)? More than once, Tamra has called Shannon out in public for her choice to continue to drink. The realtor has also tried her best to get the other women to question Shannon’s motives. Tamra’s friendship with Alexis Bellino also feels fishy to some people, especially since we now know Tam knows about the 2018 text messages, which prove Shannon wasn’t lying. 

But I don’t fully understand why Heather is jumping on the bandwagon. At this rate, she has come for Shannon just as much as Tamra, and the move is surprising. But let’s keep in mind both Heather and Tamra have been dealing with Shannon for the longest and they could simply be frustrated. It is well documented that Heather enjoys a private conversation with no witnesses. So why now? Why this fight?  

Shannon Beador’s birthday has all but been ruined

It’s Shannon’s birthday, and she should have sent Heather and Tamra packing. I mean, why even go on a birthday trip for someone when all you do is talk badly about them? The idea is asinine, to be honest. It’s not like Heather or Tamra needed a free trip. If we were calling a spade a spade, both women would have stayed home and hung out with Alexis. So Shannon should have done what was best for her and her mental state: sent them back to the OC.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5, Episode 6 Recap: Keep Your Frenemies Close and Your Housewives Closer

Photo Credit: Joshua Applegate/Bravo via Getty Images

Welcome to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5, Episode 6 recap. Last week, Bronwyn dropped the truth about her daughter’s father. Whitney uncovered the alleged culprit behind the rumors surrounding her jewelry business, and Britani and Jared broke up for good — but she still wants to be friends. Finally, Mary accused Heather of “leaving a trail of lies” wherever she goes. Keep reading to see exactly what went down in the RHOSLC Season 5, Episode 6: “Mafia Wives and Bad Vibes.”

What happened in Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5, Episode 6?

In this week’s episode, Angie’s 25th Anniversary party turns into the Red Wedding, as everybody’s fighting about something. Lisa’s hurt that Angie criticized her parenting. Mary’s still talking about Heather’s “trail of lies.” Heather confronts Bronwyn about “meddling” in the relationship between her and Angie. Lisa’s talk with Whitney escalates, as she threatens to sue everybody accusing her of spreading rumors about Whitney’s jewelry business. And just when Britani tries to move on and brings a date to Angie’s party, Justin invites Jared to “stop by.”

Here are some of the highlights from RHOSLC Season 5, Episode 6.

Angie’s Greek Mafia Anniversary Party

The episode opens in black and white. In voiceover, Angie narrates, “This thing I have with my friends is not always copacetic. I’ve had my eye on them for a while. And let me tell you, no one is innocent … So I’m gonna make them an offer they can’t refuse.” Actually, it’s just an invitation to Angie’s 25th anniversary party. Cute! I love a theme.

All the guests are arriving at Angie’s house. Things are awkward between Lisa and Angie right now. “But as friends of 15 years, it would have been wrong not to include her in my anniversary celebration,” Angie says.

When Britani arrives, she brings a date, Aaron, who Heather has actually dated in the past. Now that’s awkward.

Mary shoves through the crowd, saying, “Excuse me. Hi, Jared!” Britani quickly corrects her and says that this is Aaron, not Jared. That’s embarrassing.

Everybody’s getting along and enjoying the party until Bronwyn decides to stir up some sh*t. She tells Angie, “Lisa’s very hurt that Heather told her something that you said about … Lisa’s parenting.” Heather passed on that Angie said something about Lisa’s son playing video games till 2:00 in the morning. Hey, I raised a teenage boy. Don’t they all do that these days? What’s the problem?

As if their Twitter fighting isn’t already bad enough, Bronwyn adds, “Heather starts little fires and then backs away and watches them burn.” Isn’t that exactly what you’re doing now, Bronwyn?

Bronwyn justifies her behavior by saying, “I don’t like that Heather’s been talking behind Angie’s back, especially when Heather has hung me out to dry for everything that’s come out of my mouth … So, I think everybody should pay for what they’ve said.” Fair enough!

Mary’s still obsessed with Heather’s “trail of lies”

While Mary’s still arguing with Lisa about Heather’s “trail of lies,” Heather walks over and asks, “What are you talking about?” And they’re off.

Mary keeps saying that Heather lies about everything, but she can’t seem to get specific. When Heather says she’s been a good friend to her and to name a time that she’s been bad to Mary, Mary shoots back, “Name a time that you’ve been good to me!”

“Arguing with Mary is like arguing with the Mormon Church,” Heather interviews. “You’re gonna get gaslit, they’re gonna tell you that what you’re saying is not true, and they’re gonna tell you they never hurt you … But [Mary’s] been horrible to me, and I didn’t forget.”

After refusing to hug it out with Heather and Lisa, Mary goes and sits on a couch next to Angie’s daughter, Elektra, and another little girl. “Whew! That was a big argument,” she tells them. “It made my feet start hurting. I think I’m okay with Heather now. I could keep going, but I’m not. I’m gonna let it go.”

The poor little girls just look at Mary like she’s a crazy person. Venting to the kids wasn’t Mary’s best idea.

Bronwyn doesn’t think she’s meddling in Heather’s relationship with Angie

Meanwhile, Angie confronts Heather about getting in the middle of her and Lisa’s relationship. But Heather accuses Angie of mom-shaming Lisa over electronics.

When the fight escalates, as they always do, Heather says, “Let’s go talk to Bronwyn right now.”

Heather confronts Bronwyn about getting in the middle of her relationship with Angie. Bronwyn defends herself by saying that Heather repeated something to Lisa that Angie was “probably just venting about.”

Can I just say that these women talk about each other constantly? Why are they upset when what they say comes back to bite them in the butt?

“It’s so messy of Heather to be meddling in [Angie and Lisa’s] relationship,” Bronwyn interviews. “If you believe Heather was not meddling, bitch, neither am I.” Bronwyn knows what she’s doing, but she’s using the other Housewives’ logic – and Heather’s in particular – against them.

As Heather’s recovering from her fight with Angie and Bronwyn, guess who walks in the front door? It’s Jared Osmond. See, Mary? He and Aaron are two different people. Heather greets him with a big hug, but Britani is obviously rattled that he’s there.

Apparently, Whitney’s husband Justin invited Jared. “Jared’s a friend of mine,” Justin says. “I thought I should text him and see if he wants to stop by.” He also told him that Britani was at the party with a date, so he should come.

As Justin greets everyone, Britani bursts into tears. Jared’s the last person she expected to see here.

Lisa thinks Britani should just ask him to leave. “I think it’s time for this relationship to end,” she interviews. “Just put a fork in it. It’s done.”

Lisa drags a reluctant Britani over to Jared, meaning for her to throw him out. But Britani just asks him to go outside and talk. Nice way to treat your date, Britani. Poor Aaron.

They sit down next to the outdoor firepit, and she asks, “Why are you here? This just makes me more confused.”

He admits he came because he missed her. She wants him to make big gestures, “Like my prince on a big white horse, but this isn’t that.” To some, this may feel like manipulation by Jared. But all accounts are conflicting … we might have to wait until the reunion to hear exactly what went on here.

Lisa and Whitney get into it once again!

Whitney asks Lisa if they can talk. When they sit down, Whitney drops a bomb that her source says that Lisa is spreading the rumors about her jewelry collection.

“It’s not me, Whitney! It’s not f*cking me!” Lisa shouts. Across the room, everyone notices her yelling. She wants Whitney to tell her who said it. “I’m gonna sue ‘em.”

“I didn’t do it to you!” Lisa screams. “Shut the f*ck up about that. I didn’t do it!” Lisa picks up her phone and calls her private investigator. She wants an investigation opened on whoever’s spreading these lies.

“I want you to get the police involved and go the distance on this,” she says. She wants the LA police involved, as well as Salt Lake City, and she’s going to send Whitney the bill. “And you owe me a big f*cking apology,” she adds.

Whitney thinks Lisa’s reaction just proves she’s guilty. Or she’s just mad you accused her of something she didn’t do. To drive home her point, Lisa runs to Justin and asks, “How do you deal with this? [Your wife’s] a liar!”

Of course, Justin defends Whitney and tells Lisa not to call his wife a “f*cking liar.” This provokes Lisa’s husband, John, to tell Justin, “Don’t use the F-word to my wife.”

Now everybody’s fighting. Happy 25th anniversary, Angie! And we’re hit with the much-loved…

Jennifer Pedranti’s RHOC Salary Exposed in Divorce War

Photo Credit: Rich Polk/Bravo via Getty Images

Have you ever wondered how much money you’d make on Real Housewives of Orange County? Well, thanks to Jennifer Pedranti’s neverending divorce battle, we’ve got a bit of an idea.

Although Jennifer and her ex-husband, William Pedranti, settled their divorce earlier this year, the peace didn’t last for very long. According to Jennifer, she hasn’t been getting her payments, and she’s looking to have a court enforce it. That process, however, has opened a whole new can of worms.

As part of the court proceedings, Jennifer filed an income and expense declaration outlining her entire financial situation. In Touch obtained the documents where she presented details about her yoga studio, and more importantly, her Bravo salary.

In Jennifer’s declaration, she listed her average monthly income as $10,740. She makes $7,500 per episode of Real Housewives of Orange County. Most seasons have around 20 episodes, so if you do the math, that comes out to around $150,000. It’s not bad, but it’s not life-changing either.

Fortunately for Jen, her yoga business is turning a profit. In August, her studio earned a $10,000 profit. Regardless, she admitted in a recent interview that the RHOC salary has been her saving grace.

“Everything when it comes to the lot of the expenses is on me and if I didn’t have the Housewives job, you know, I really don’t know where I would be, so I’m just grateful that I do have that,” the RHOC star confessed last month.

Although Bravo doesn’t comment on salaries, Andy Cohen has said the Bravo paychecks get better with time. The longer you’re on a show, the more money you make.

Jen is only in her second season, but she’s made a huge splash so far. Judging by how Season 18 is going, she’s probably not leaving RHOC any time soon. If anything, she’ll probably get a pay raise ahead of Season 19.

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs new episodes on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
