House of Villains Season 2, Episode 8 Recap: Which Villain Got the Last Laugh?

Time flies when you’re being bad, and somehow, we’re already over halfway through Season 2 of House of Villains! One of these reality TV legends is going to walk out of the lair with $200,000, but the closer we get to the finish line, the more unpredictable the game becomes.

Last week, Kandy won the Supervillain of the Week after dominating a blood bath of a Battle Royale Challenge. Before Kandy could bask in her victory, Wes tried to disrupt the game with a fake immunity note. It was a cute attempt, but Kandy still wound up nominating three members of his cult for elimination. In House of Villains Season 2, Episode 8 “Un-Funny Business,” one of them got banished.

Victoria, Safaree, and Larsa competed in a Redemption Challenge that went completely off the rails. Pressed with a difficult decision, Teresa stopped playing checkers and finally started playing chess. Meanwhile, Kandy soaked up all of the fun of being the Supervillain of the Week before flipping someone out of the competition. We’ve got all of the details on how Episode 8 played out.

Larsa and Victoria’s beef spilled over from the Stronghold, and Victoria said she was fed up with the nonstop fighting. She’s fought with Larissa. She’s fought with Kandy, and at this point, she’s at her breaking point with Larsa’s nonstop attacks.

“She insulted my home, my clothing, and she’s just like a tacky old lady,” Victoria expressed in a tearful confessional.

Out of all of the villains in the house, it was Tiffany who tried to be the voice of reason. She asked the other villains to lay off Victoria—at least for a little bit. Just give her some grace!

Despite New York’s pleas, the truce lasted a total of two seconds before Larsa immediately went back into dragging Victoria. This is either some sort of twisted strategy from Larsa or she just really hates this girl.

Cap That gets cringe

One of the best Redemption Challenges of Season 1 was called, “Cap That,” which had the villains on the Hit List write funny captions underneath random stills from the season. It went so well the first time that the producers tried to recreate it. Unfortunately, it went horribly wrong.

When Victoria, Larsa, and Safaree were challenged to write the funny captions, they just were terrible. The reactions from the villains on the sidelines wound up being more entertaining than the challenge itself.

The producers decided to spare us from the cringe, and they “fast-forwarded” through the challenge so we wouldn’t have to endure as much of it. They did the viewers a favor, but they also saved the villains from some brutal humiliation. Some of the captions they wrote were just flat-out strange.

For example, Larsa captioned a picture of Safaree: “I used too much coconut oil. I’m slippin’ and slidin’ through this bitch. My skin feels dry.”

Obviously, none of these villains have a future in comedy, and it ended up being neck and neck by the end of the game. It all came down to the final image, which was hilariously a picture of Teresa in an orange jumpsuit from the season’s first challenge.

Safaree wound up taking all of the points for the final round. He won the challenge and got himself removed from the Hit List, leaving Larsa and Victoria at risk. Now, let’s all forget this horrible challenge ever happened.

RIP Mother Teresa

With Victoria and Larsa up for elimination, Teresa found herself caught in the middle. She’s roommates with Victoria, and they’ve established a friendship in the game. On the other hand, Larsa is a Real Housewife, and the Housewives stick together. What’s a Jersey girl to do?

In a confessional, Teresa acknowledged that she was finally being pushed into the nitty-gritty of the game. She said it was finally time to lean into strategy. After all, her previous strategy of cooking Italian food didn’t work.

With this realization, Teresa proclaimed that there’d be no more “Mother Teresa” and she’d be unleashing her inner villain. Then, we got a hilarious montage of Teresa dressed up as Mother Teresa running around doing good deeds for her fellow villains. This show deserves an Emmy for that alone.

In the house, Victoria tried her hardest to convince Teresa to side with her in the Banishment. Meanwhile, Larsa was doing the same thing. Somehow, Larsa expected Teresa to forget that she just put her up for banishment in the previous round.

Teresa rightfully questioned Larsa’s loyalty, and the Real Housewives of Miami star hit back with the most unconvincing statement ever told on reality TV.

“I mean, yeah. I’m as loyal as they get,” Larsa claimed.

You could see Larsa questioning herself as those words left her mouth. But, what is it enough to convince Teresa? Maybe.

Who got banished this week on House of Villains?

In a vote of 4-1, Victoria became the fourth contestant eliminated from House of Villains Season 2. She’s not winning $200,000, so she’s going to need to find another way to pay off all of her parking tickets.

In a flashback, the votes are revealed, and we see that Teresa ended up voting to eliminate Victoria. She explained that she simply couldn’t “cross the Bravo family.” Somewhere, Andy Cohen has a huge grin on his face.

Before Victoria got flipped through the wall, Tiffany interjected and revealed that she was the lone vote to save Victoria. She was trying to make her feel better, but it actually just made Victoria angry at Teresa for not keeping her word. Thus, she got into one final argument before leaving the game for good.

“Keep being stupid,” Victoria told Tre.

The bickering continued, and Kandy had to retake control of the room. As the Supervillain of the Week, she channeled her inner RuPaul and gave Victoria a send-off worthy of Drag Race.

“Victoria, you walked into this competition as a queen,” Kandy began. “Unfortunately for you, tonight, the only queen you’re serving is Queen Elizabeth. That is dead.”

She continued, “I only have one thing to say to you. Sashay away!”

Joel drops a plot twist

Just when you thought the episode was over, good old Joel jumped in with a twist. The villains hardly had any time to process Victoria’s banishment, and it turns out, he’s the one getting the last laugh this week.

He instructed the villains to line themselves up from most villainous to least villainous. That was easier said than done because no one wanted it because Tiffany and Kandy clashed over the number one spot. In a classic case of drag delusion, Kandy tried to say she was a bigger villain than New York.

Meanwhile, Wes realized that there was probably a catch. He’s competed in like five thousand episodes of The Challenge, so you really can’t fool him with something like this. He’s seen it all, and he decided to find a spot in the middle of the lineup to try to stay safe from whatever twist Joel had coming.

On the other hand, Teresa happily plopped herself down at the end as the “least villainous.” Her sister-in-law would probably disagree.

Once the villains all got settled into their placements, Joel dropped the big bombshell. There’s a surprise double banishment, and somehow, the way they lined up will play a factor in how it shakes out. To be continued.

House of Villains continues on E! every Thursday at 10/9c.

Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, Episode 20 Recap: The Reunion Concludes

Welcome to the recap for Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, Episode 20. This week, the entire season is wrapped up in a pretty orange bow, after Alexis’ arrival on the couches in last week’s installment. Was there any resolution, or will the ladies continue to go after one another now cameras are down? Here’s everything of note from RHOC Season 18, Episode 20: “Reunion Part 3.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 reunion Part 3 teased a shocking bombshell that took place AFTER the reunion was filmed. But back on the reunion stage, Alexis and Shannon got no closer to fixing their broken relationship. It’s clear they will never be friends. Meanwhile, Tamra and Shannon shared a hug, and the other ladies all tried to hash out their differences.

Part 3 of the RHOC Season 18 reunion opened with the ladies discussing some information that came to light at the reunion. Have we ever seen a reunion episode open this way before, with filming of the ladies AFTER the season was supposed to have put cameras down? It’s a lot – and I was immediately left on the edge of my seat wondering what we were going to find out.

36 hours earlier, we’re back with Shannon and Alexis at one another’s throats. Shannon gloats that she took Alexis’ full-time job on the show, and has held it for a decade. “You know what Shannon? You’re so bitter,” Alexis swipes. “I don’t want to talk about you anymore. Get married. Congratulations, you guys are perfect for each other,” Shannon responds.

Alexis thinks Shannon is obsessed with John Janssen, despite their split. But Andy points out that Shannon can’t help but discuss John when she’s being sued by him – a lawsuit that has now been settled.

Alexis is mad, because when she first met John, she found bad press about him. Shannon reminds Alexis that the reason for her conflict in Season 17 was because she was defending John “to the death.” Then Emily tries to get involved in the chat, and Alexis tells her to “butt out.” Emily and Alexis cannot stand one another, and I’m not entirely sure why.

Shannon continues to say she paid for the entire relationship with John at the start. Meanwhile, Alexis claims he put over $350,000 into the love affair before the alleged $75,000 loan. There are a lot of numbers, and frankly, I’m tired. Alexis took too much sh*t for this, and it stinks.

How long was John single for before Alexis?

John claimed to be single “for a year” before getting with Alexis. Then, a text shows John was texting Shannon claiming he loved her just months before their relationship started. Alexis’ response is that being “friends with benefits” does not a relationship make. And then, both Gina and Emily try to join Shannon in bashing Alexis. “The bullies, Tweedledee and Tweedledum,” Alexis calls Gina and Emily, before activated Emily jumps down her throat.

“Don’t you ever f*cking call me dumb … you are an idiot! Don’t f*cking call me dumb, you are the dumbest f*cking girl I’ve ever met!” Emily shouts across the sofa, before Alexis asks if she wants to hit her. The aggression does seem high, but that feels like a lot.

“We were together every single day from [April 2023] until 10 days after my DUI,” Shannon clarifies. “Did he ever ask you to be his girlfriend again?” Alexis asks, before Shannon reveals they were still being “intimate” at the time.

It’s not exactly a shady timeline, but it’s one I’m no longer interested in. John is now with Alexis. Let’s move on. I want Alexis back for Season 19, but we need new storylines. This one has ran its course, and even Andy is tired. “She has [moved on],” he says of Shannon. “Trust me, she has.”

As for the lawsuit and rejected initial settlement offer? John wanted to see the season first, so could react to any “lies” Shannon said about him. Now that the show’s over, the pair have settled. So, his reasoning seems to make sense.

Were the Ring doorbell videos being used for “extortion?”

“It is my intent for nobody to ever see them,” John said of the videos in a pre-recorded confessional. “It was an extremely traumatic night for me and my two adult children, and it’s unfortunate that Shannon has not taken accountability for the people that she harmed that night. And, I would say that, if Shannon would like to, I would – the one person I would show the video footage to – would be Shannon Beador if she wants to see what she actually was like that night, and what kind of behavior she exhibited. She has characterized me as a monster on the show. If she wants to see what a monster looks like, she can view those videos.”

Back on the reunion stage, Tamra asks Shannon if she can recall what the videos may contain. But Shannon is getting emotional, and simply shakes her head. “We were in a fight, he said, ‘you’re a drunken idiot,’ and I got in my car.” The ladies then wonder why the videos came up at all, as they felt very much like a “threat.”

Alexis admits regretting bringing the videos up, and claims she didn’t know they were being filmed when she initially mentioned them. “I had a breaking point,” Alexis says of their Big Bear trip. “I was very upset. Every time I filmed, it was about John or Shannon. Here’s the thing, Andy. This was not any easier for me to film with the ex, than it is for her.” But she’s not gonna apologize “for defending my man.”

“Time for the ‘friend’ to exit the room,” Shannon says, as Andy wraps up the segment. What’s Alexis’ goal now she can’t be “amicable” with Shannon? She still holds some hope. But don’t hold your breath.

Emily has an issue with Jennifer’s friendship with Alexis, while Tamra defends Shannon

After hearing Jenn saying she doesn’t “subscribe to mean girl behavior,” Emily is confused by her friendship with Alexis. Tamra also catches a stray, as Emily says she’d rather take her than Alexis.

“Say ‘shut the f*ck up, I don’t wanna be friends with you,'” Emily asks Jenn of her Alexis bond. Jenn says she’s asked Alexis to let the mouse go, but Emily thinks Alexis is trying to “humiliate this woman on a global scale.” I think that’s a little dramatic, and Emily just has huge hate for Alexis. I’ll say again, it doesn’t make all that much sense to me. In fact, if anyone is coming across as a “mean girl” in this situation, it might actually be Emily.

Andy then gets to Tamra’s repeated defense of Shannon during the reunion. Shannon appreciates it, and can see just in Tamra’s eyes how she “acknowledged” Shannon’s hurt. The pair then hug, “because it’s easier to,” and Tamra admits she has “really missed” Shannon. There is a path forward for this pair, but it’s going to be one long and bump road.

As they’re making up, however, Jenn isn’t convinced. “This is such bullsh*t,” she whispers. Fortunately, Tamra doesn’t hear it. That wouldn’t have gone well.

“It feels real, and it feels like there’s a bed of love there,” Andy concludes, before final thoughts. “I’m actually pretty gratified by the place we’re ending things on.” Let’s keep the exact cast for Season 19. The connections are real, which makes for great TV.

Time for the juice! What’s the big RHOC Season 18 reunion bombshell?

36 hours later…

“Seven months she’s known that piece of information,” says Emily, “and she drops it after we film the reunion and they turn all the cameras off.”

“I’m happy that it’s coming out,” Gina responds, before Heather arrives. “It’s the never-ending season,” Heather says. “Yeah, thanks to you!” Heather has some new information; and she forgot to drop it at reunion!

After the finale party, Heather and Terry went to dinner with Tamra and Eddie, as well as Alexis and John. “I don’t remember why it came up. You were not the topic of conversation all night,” Heather assures Shannon. “Something comes up about the night of the accident, and John said, ‘Oh I heard the crash.'”

So, there we have it. If Heather is to be believed, John heard Shannon’s crash. But there’s more.

Did Shannon punch John on the night of her DUI?

Tamra then arrives and adds more juice. “He said that when you took off and he heard the crash, he went to go run for you, but his daughters stopped him and said, ‘no dad, this isn’t good, you guys are fighting, I’m gonna go look.’ And she went around the corner and said you were pulling off. Our mouths dropped.”

“He said that there was an altercation between you and him,” Tamra shares, before whispering to Shannon that John claims she hit him. “I don’t remember everything,” Shannon says. She doesn’t know what she did that night. But let’s be clear. Physical violence is never excusable.

“If you did something bad on the videos, you’re gonna take responsibility for what you did, just like you took responsibility for what you did that night. It doesn’t make you a terrible person,” Gina assures her new bestie.

Shannon’s “lowest moment of my life” was her DUI. And now, discussing it with her friends, Shannon finally feels “so much love” around her. Cut to the group hug, and another season in the can. Will Shannon be back? She hopes so…

Survivor 47, Episode 10 Recap: Loyal to the Soil

Survivor 47
Photo Credit: Robert Voets/CBS via Getty Images

Survivor fans love a player who makes big moves, but often, those players are not so beloved by their fellow castaways. In Survivor 47, Episode 10 titled, “Loyal to the Soil,” Genevieve’s scheming finally catches up to her and she is no longer able to blame her master plans on other players. The fallout from Sol’s blindside is rough, and her threat level is exposed. Fortunately for her, she isn’t the only player in the hot seat tonight. The Tuku Four are on everyone’s radar, which causes the tribe to flip on each other to save themselves.

So, who went home? We’ll get to that…

Here is everything that happened on Survivor 47, Episode 10.

What happened on Survivor 47, Episode 10?

Genevieve learns that big moves have big consequences in tonight’s episode. Her ally, Teeny, no longer trusts her, and the rest of the castaways are also wary of her motives in the game. The group is torn between taking out the savvy, social player or breaking up the intimidating Tuku Four by taking out one of their numbers. Kyle wins another Individual Immunity Challenge, protecting him from being the Tuku sacrifice. In the end, the group decides Gabe is a bigger threat than Genevieve; he becomes the 10th person voted out of Survivor 47.

Keep reading for a more detailed recap of tonight’s episode.

Genevieve is in trouble after Survivor 47, Episode 9 blindside

Episode 10 begins with Genevieve scrambling to repair her relationship with Teeny, who felt blindsided by her ally’s master plan to take out Sol last week. Genevieve knows she made the right choice, but she’s worried about it affecting her relationship with Teeny, who had a close bond with the fallen Lavo member.

She explains to Teeny that the decision to leave her out of the vote was not personal, nor did she want to humiliate her ally with a blindside. Genevieve is a great talker, so she does a good job with damage control at this moment, but her relationship with Teeny is still fractured.

I’m concerned about Genevieve’s trajectory going forward. Her game was pretty flawless until Sol’s elimination, which didn’t go as smoothly as she hoped. In prior episodes, she’s recovered quite well from big moves, but last week, her fellow castaways began to notice she’s the voice behind many blindsides this season.

In a separate conversation, Sam tells Andy he doesn’t trust Genevieve, suggesting they keep an eye on the “secret assassin” of Survivor 47.

Genevieve may be able to divert attention this week by focusing on Tuku—the largest tribe left in the game. If she can convince them that Kyle and Gabe are bigger threats, she may be able to buy herself more time.

Is Andy getting a winner’s edit on Survivor 47?

Underdog Andy has been slowly rising in the ranks since the merge. His game was a disaster in the beginning, but my guy has been making moves in the last couple of weeks, and tonight may be his best work yet. The former Gata member is making alliances with everyone, telling Kyle, Teeny, and Rachel that he is ride-or-die for them. Of course, this might come back to bite him, but for now, he’s in a good position. I always thought Genevieve would be the one to flip on him, but Andy might actually be the secret assassin of Survivor 47.

A Reward Challenge sends three castaways to the Survivor Sanctuary

Tonight, the castaways competed in teams of three in the hopes of gaining access to the Survivor Sanctuary, where they will feast on fruit, veggies, chicken, and more. Jeff mentions there will be Cookies n’ Cream cake for dessert and the castaways freak out (these poor, hungry people). They all look pretty emaciated by this point, so the stakes of this Reward Challenge are high.

To win, each team member must successfully move a ball with their head across the sand to the finish line. Then, they must roll the ball down an elevated platform and try to land it in a hole. The challenge looks awful. I can’t imagine how much sand is getting in their eyes. I do not envy them.

The Blue team, consisting of Sam, Kyle, and Rachel, wins the challenge. Ah, I worry for Kyle. Another victory will increase his already high threat level, but access to the Sanctuary will give him a chance to get closer to Sam and Rachel. Kyle needs more allies if he wants a shot at the end, so I hope he uses his time wisely and develops an alliance with Sam and Rachel.

Tuku Divided: Kyle turns on Gabe

Kyle knows all eyes are on Tuku this week, so he offers his pal Gabe up to Sam and Rachel as a sacrifice. I think targeting Gabe is in Kyle’s best interest. The group will want to target Tuku this week because of the numbers and comp beast Kyle is the obvious choice. If he can convince them that Gabe is the better option, he’ll buy himself another week on the island.

Sam is down for this plan, but Rachel has another target in mind. She sees Genevieve as a bigger threat to her game, which is understandable given that Genevieve has been targeting her for weeks. I’m biased when it comes to Genevieve, but I really think it is in Rachel’s best interest to keep her around for a bit. If Genevieve goes, the target will shift to Rachel because she is the other smart, strategic player in the game. Just a thought…

Kyle isn’t the only Tuku member throwing an ally under the bus. Back at camp, Caroline and Gabe are plotting Kyle’s elimination. They, like him, know it’s likely a Tuku member headed to Ponderosa tonight, and they want to make sure it’s not them. Sue is also gunning for Kyle, who she hates so much (haha). There is an amazing compilation of her trashing him and saying she hates him. Their feud is so funny!

Teeny struggles with Genevieve’s blindside

While the other castaways are talking about potential targets, Teeny is still fixated on last week’s blindside. She’s grieving her relationship with Genevieve, who she once trusted completely but now, feels unsure of her motives. In a confessional, she talks about how the betrayal brought other issues to the surface, mainly her struggles with gender identity and feeling out of place in the world. At the time of filming, Teeny used she/her pronouns but has since come out as nonbinary. Their pronouns on Instagram are listed as, “She/they/he.”

Who won Individual Immunity on Survivor 47, Episode 10?

Tonight’s Immunity Challenge features the famous rice negotiation where castaways can volunteer players to sit out of the challenge in order to receive a big bag of rice. Jeff started the negotiation by saying four players needed to sit out for them to receive the rice. None of the castaways want to forfeit their shot at immunity, so Kyle comes up with a counteroffer. He offers up everyone’s Shot In the Dark for the rice. Jeff says he will make that deal, which prompts the players to question if it’s a deal worth making. In the end, only Sam hesitates to take the offer. Gabe convinces him it’s a good deal and he caves. Wow! Shot In the Dark is no more on Survivor 47.

Kyle wins his fourth Individual Immunity Challenge in tonight’s episode. Damn, this guy is unbelievable. He’s safe at Tribal tonight, which means the group will have to set their sights on a new Tuku sacrifice. It’s great for Kyle in the short term, but if he ever loses an Immunity Challenge, there is no way they won’t vote him out. They would be idiots not to at this point.

Who went home on Survivor 47, Episode 10?

Back at camp, it’s time for the castaways to come up with a name for Tribal Council. The group wants to take out a big threat, putting Genevieve and Gabe in a tricky position. In a shocking twist, Caroline talks to Teeny about voting out Gabe. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, is Caroline going to flip on him? In a confessional, she says that voting out Gabe will open up her game (I AGREE), but she’s worried about pissing off her number one, Sue, who is obsessed with Gabe for some reason. I love to see this from Caroline! Her trio with Sue and Gabe is hurting her more than helping her. She needs to cut him loose and work with the women.

Jeff reads the votes at Tribal, and it’s revealed that Gabe is the castaway headed for Ponderosa tonight. As he exits, he calls Caroline a snake, letting her know he’s aware she flipped. She may have lost a jury vote, but I still think voting Gabe out was in her best interest.

That’s what you missed on tonight’s episode of Survivor 47.

Survivor airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Welcome to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5, Episode 10 recap. Last week, more arguing made lunch very uncomfortable, until Seth broke the ice with an asparagus joke. Things got heated at Todd and Bronwyn’s anniversary party, but the night ended well. Angie asked about Bronwyn’s daughter Gwen “reconnecting with her grandparents” and got shot down immediately. The group enjoyed a day at the Thermal IndyCar Race Track before flying commercial back to Salt Lake City, and Lisa had a tantrum about having to fly coach. Keep reading to see exactly what went down in RHOSLC Season 5, Episode 10: “Kiss Kiss, Bangs Bangs.”

What happened on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5, Episode 10?

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5, Episode 10

In this week’s episode, Lisa fills Heather in on (her version of) the couples’ trip. Todd tells Bronwyn he was “disappointed” by her behavior with the women in Palm Springs. Mary hosts a “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” brunch so the women can work out their issues, resulting in varying degrees of success. Here are some of the highlights from RHOSLC Season 5, Episode 10.

It’s Lisa’s world and we all just live in it

Lisa and Heather meet up at a shop in Park City. “I missed you on the trip,” Lisa tells her. “I didn’t like being there without you. So, I felt super bad for me.”

Oh, of course, it’s always all about Lisa. Never mind Heather, stuck at home while everyone else was out in Palm Springs fighting with each other. You were better off, Heather.

Lisa says that Bronwyn told a “totally different story” about why Heather wasn’t there. But then Lisa totally rewrites the history of the trip, saying that Todd told John that unless she could work things out with Bronwyn, they would have to go home. That’s not what happened, Lisa. He just wanted you to stop screaming at everyone.

I hope somewhere down the line, Heather watches the episode and sees what really happened.

Todd’s disapproval is a bitter pill for Bronwyn to swallow

Over at Bronwyn’s, Todd is sitting on their back porch with his arms crossed defensively. It’s obvious that he’s only doing this for his wife, and he hates everything about being in front of the cameras.

Bronwyn tells him that she returned from their trip to California feeling “some kind of way about Lisa.” You’re not alone there, B.

“The 10 years we’ve been together,” Todd says, “I’ve never seen you act the way you acted this weekend. I’ve known John and Lisa for a long time, but for you to sit in the hot tub and scream back and forth with her is ridiculous … What did you accomplish?”

He thinks Bronwyn “ruined a perfectly nice afternoon.” He’s never seen her act that way and doesn’t find it “becoming.”

In her defense, Bronwyn says they started yelling, and she just didn’t know how to deal with “that scenario.” He thinks she should have just left “with your dignity.”

“Todd’s approval means a lot to me,” she says in a confessional. “This is incredibly hard for me to hear.”

Poor Bronwyn fights back tears. Todd feels like a parent scolding a child for coming in after curfew. His body language and entire demeanor is patronizing, at best.

So now, not only are Bronwyn’s feelings hurt by Lisa and the other women, but she’s “even more disappointed in myself that [Todd’s] embarrassed by my behavior.”

“They’re sucking you into this sewer that they live in of bullsh*t,” he continues. “And you’ve just got to step out of it … Friends should not bring out the worst in you.”

Wow, that was rough. Hopefully things get better for the couple down the line.

Mary’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s Brunch

Mary is having an Audrey Hepburn-themed party at her home. She wants everything to be very elegant and sophisticated. She’s micro-managing the party planners, rearranging the table décor to her taste.

Bronwyn says she’s normally “fashionably late,” because she likes to make an entrance. But she’s “scared” of Mary, so she’s on time, making her the first to arrive. It’s just her and the bartender. Awkward!

Meredith arrives with her hair pinned up and swept forward to create faux bangs, ala Audrey Hepburn.

“I thought I was really tricky coming with these little clip-in Audrey Hepburn bangs,” Bronwyn interviews. “But then Meredith one-upped me with whatever ‘octopus’ she put on her head.”

When Heather arrives, she goes down the line, hugging everyone but obviously skipping Bronwyn. So tacky, Heather. At least you can say hello!

When Mary makes a welcoming toast, Heather pipes up. “Thank you for including everyone, since we know that didn’t happen for the Palm Desert trip.” Ouch. Bitter much?

Britani’s also feeling some kind of way, since she mentions that not only was she not included in the Palm Springs trip, but no one even bothered to check in with her this week except Mary. She also brings up that she thought it was odd that Angie brought a bottle of wine to her Mormon family night.

“You’re doing three guys, and you drink,” Angie responds. “And you’re claiming to be some total Mormon?” Even Mary gasps at that one. I’m beginning to see how Angie got that center snowflake.

Heather just can’t get over being excluded on the Palm Springs trip

Bronwyn doesn’t like Britani because she called her a gold-digger for marrying such an older successful man.

Heather jumps in and asks, “Then why didn’t you have a prenup?”

Bronwyn says Heather should stop “knocking on that door, cause you’re not gonna like when I open it.”

Bronwyn says, “The fact that you don’t know my husband and you have opined multiple times…,” but Heather cuts her off.

“I know three things about your husband,” Heather claps back. “I know that he doesn’t have a prenup with you, I know that he collects Starbucks mugs, and I know he is an asshole on couples’ trips when he wants someone to leave … That’s enough for me to know that maybe I shouldn’t get to know him further.” Whoa! When did Heather get so aggro?

Bronwyn immediately knows it was Lisa who gave that information to Heather, though Lisa tries to play innocent.

“Can I just say this really quick?” Mary interjects. “Bronwyn does care if you guys get along … It matters to her.”

Heather’s bitter that Bronwyn didn’t invite her on the group trip, but Bronwyn says that she wanted Heather to come. “I even bought you a first class return ticket,” she adds. Don’t let Lisa hear that.

Heather says, “You can’t book a ticket for me because you don’t know my birthday!” She says no one in the group knows her real birthday because she’s lied about it to everyone.

Cue Whitney Googling Heather’s birthday. “Her birthday’s June 29, but I have no idea what year.”

So of course, I immediately Google “Heather Gay DOB.” It’s June 29, 1974, mother truckers! That was easy. But of course, even Google gets it wrong sometimes…

Heather and Bronwyn finally reach an understanding

Sadly, the discussion of Heather’s unused first class ticket opens up Lisa’s whining once again about the horrors of having to fly coach. “Just FYI,” Bronwyn says, “your husbands got gifts. You got gifts from me. I had the house, I took you to Indy. And anyone gives a flying f*ck where they sat for 67 minutes on the way home?”

Heather asks, “If it doesn’t matter where you sit for 67 minutes, why did you book yourself and your husband in first class and them all in coach?”

“Cause it was my goddamn credit card,” Bronwyn snaps back. Good point. She also paid for the house and everything else. Shut up, Heather.

Heather is just determined to be mad at Bronwyn and to never be friends with her. What happened to Heather? She used to give people a chance.

“I am fiercely defensive of my friendships,” Heather finally admits. “They are the family that has replaced the family that I have lost … So, I’m very cautious of new people coming into this group.”

The root of the problem is that Heather is hurt that she was left out of the trip. But Bronwyn tried to fix it with her before the trip, and Heather wasn’t having it. She basically attacked Bronwyn and left her in tears.

But at last, Heather admits that it was all a misunderstanding. She’s open to creating a clean slate and moving forward.

“Bronwyn and I clearly got off to a terrible start,” Heather interviews. “But so did me and Lisa … and look at us now … I’m hopeful that we can put this behind us and start fresh.”

Meredith Marks gets a taste of her own medicine

But the détente is short-lived, as Britani jumps up and demands, “You guys! What about me?”

“Oh my god,” Bronwyn says to Whitney. “Get this woman a puppy. She needs unconditional love.”

“Bronwyn,” Britani finally says, “I officially apologize for those mean things that I said about your husband.”

“Maybe we can all grow together,” Pastor Mary says. “That is the sole reason you’re here.” Mary says they all need to just listen to each other, work it out, and move on. Surprisingly, she’s the voice of reason.

Kumbaya lasts about 30 seconds before Angie and Meredith are screaming at each other again. This group is like playing Whack-a-Mole: when one problem gets settled, someone brings up something else to fight about.

When the screaming escalates and Mary can’t get them to stop, she says that if they won’t listen to her they can get out of her home. Oh! A taste of your own medicine, Meredith: “YOU. CAN. LEAVE!”

But Meredith decides to play the victim. Even though Mary begs her to stay and talk, Meredith sniffles through tears and says, “I have to go.”

Well, wasn’t that fun? Mary sums it up in a confessional: “She took them bangs with her. This is Audrey Hepburn, not The Flintstones.”

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Sutton Stracke Says Kyle Richards ‘Tried to Hook up With Kevin Costner’

Kyle Richards tried to hook up with Kevin Costner, allegedly. At least, that’s what Sutton Stracke said shortly after the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 premiere.

Viewers, fans, and Kyle alike have all made a big deal of Kyle’s relationship status. In a way, that’s understandable, given her abrupt separation from Mauricio Umansky. Kyle only prompted further discussion due to her friendship with Morgan Wade.

But things quickly got out of hand for Kyle, to the point that she said she wouldn’t address Morgan on the show anymore. However, during the Season 14 premiere, Kyle broke her rule just to assure everyone that nothing was going on. And Sutton thinks there might be cause to believe her.

Sutton Stracke says Morgan Wade isn’t Kyle Richards’ “end-all-be-all”

On November 19, during the RHOBH After Show, Sutton, Garcelle Beauvais, and Jennifer Tilly discussed Kyle’s odd relationship with Morgan. Garcelle put forth a theory that Kyle just needed a friend. So, she confided in Morgan and soon fell for her, even though that wasn’t her intention at the start.

To that point, Sutton had some information of her own about Kyle’s relationship status. Sutton revealed, “Kyle and I had this conversation. She was in Aspen and Kevin Costner was there. She was like, trying to hook up with Kevin Costner.” Garcelle pointed out that Kyle was not the only one in the cast who wanted Kevin Costner. “I know!” Sutton said.

But Sutton’s greater point was, “I don’t think Morgan’s the end-all-be-all, because [Kyle] really was” trying to hook up with someone else. “I was like, ‘Wait a minute, hang on. It’s not all about Morgan. There’s some Kevin Costner mixed in there.’” Garcelle said, “Listen, we’ll get it with the way we can get it.” And Jennifer added, “It’s fun to be single. It’s a never-ending smorgasbord.”

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Tamra Judge Reacts to Teddi Mellencamp’s Divorce Bombshell: ‘Both Amazing People’

Real Housewives of Orange County star and Two Ts In A Pod host Tamra Judge isn’t taking sides. Her podcast co-host, Teddi Mellencamp, was recently put into the spotlight for having an affair. And one would think Tamra would have a strong opinion. She is very vocal on the show and her podcast about drama in the Bravoverse. However, Tamra isn’t team Teddi or team Edwin Arroyave. She is Switzerland on the matter; straight up neutral. 

Tamra Judge hopes Teddi Mellencamp and Edwin Arroyave “get to work it out,” and she wants “the best for both of them”

It was a shocking turn of events when the news broke of Teddi’s affair. And the plot got thicker when it was revealed to be with her married horse trainer. Then more tea spilled. His wife was giving birth in another state while he was with Teddi. Talk about a tangled web. 

Soon after, Teddi filed for divorce from her husband, Edwin. She also remained mum on the situation for a while. But eventually, she had to speak her peace. During her November 14 podcast, Teddi wasn’t going to “confirm or deny anything.” But she made it clear their kids were the top priority. As they should be.

Surprisingly, Tamra has been quiet on the matter as well. That is, until now. US Weekly reported what she had to say about her best friend and podcast partner. Tamra said, “I cannot really share too much. This is Teddi and Edwin’s life and they’ve been married for a long time and they have four kids and I just wish her and Edwin well.” 

She added, “I hope that they get to work it out — however and whatever that looks like to them. I know that they’re both amazing people.” Tamra kept the feedback positive and continued to say nice things about Edwin. She shared, “Edwin and Eddie [Judge] have a podcast together. Eddie really loves Edwin and enjoys the [“The Eds”] podcast. I just want the best for both of them.”

When Teddi is ready to talk about the situation, she’s got the perfect podcast host in Tamra to spill the tea to.

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