Several reality TV stars whooped it up in Connecticut over the weekend to help casino/resort Mohegan Sun celebrate its 20th anniversary. Obviously, no whoop it up is the real deal without Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson.
Vicki was joined by Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice, Real Housewives of Potomac star Karen Huger, The Bachelorette stars JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rogers, Real Housewives of New York star Ramona Singer, and more. Look below for pictures of the reality TV stars on the red carpet, and with other attendees, including Bravo superfan Chrissy Teigen.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita are never--ever--getting back together, according to Teresa at least. "You know what? When you really...We can always count on Brandi Glanville to say outrageous things. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has no filter and she just went on a Twitter rant all about her exes and her insensitively worded desire to be a lesbian.
Whether you love her or hate her, you have to admit that Brandi never fails to be interesting and she was really letting her thoughts flow with her latest spree of tweets. I’m not even positive if all of the tweets are connected to each other or if they are just random thoughts, but it is clear that Brandi has had a lot on her mind these days.

Brandi is definitely an entertaining Twitter follow, that’s for sure. On October 14, Brandi tweeted, “All guys suck. Back to being a lesbian again,” and I can’t help assuming that this was directed one guy in particular. I don’t think it was great wording in all honesty, at least the “lesbian” part, I am sure a lot of people found that to be insensitive, but I guess the point she was trying to make is that her romantic life is not going well these days.
The next day, Brandi tweeted, “I dislike most people today.” She added a broken heart emoji which makes me think that she just went through a break up or that she’s at a minimum done dealing with some dude’s drama.
Cat Cora & Brandi Glanville Had An Affair While Filming My Kitchen Rules?!
After that, Brandi alluded to some love triangle type drama when she tweeted, “Please all crazy ex gfs LEAVE ME ALONE – I’m crazy enough as it is – thanks.” So it is safe to infer that someone’s ex was hitting her up and making her love life a little bit complicated.
And then finally, Brandi struck a cord with a lot of people who have lingering exes when she tweeted this gem: “Just cuz u have crazy sexual chemistry with an ex-boyfriend doesn’t mean you’re supposed to be together. Remember exes are exes for a reason!” It seems to me like she’s trying not to return to an ex, someone was messing with their relationship, and that she is just so over dating at the moment – completely and totally relatable.

The countdown is on, The Walking Dead fans. In just a few short days, we'll finally learn who was on the receiving end of Negan's devastating death blow from his trusty Lucille...
Once upon a time television was filled with multi-camera sitcoms populated with wise-cracking youths, asking, "Did I do that?" and declaring, "Eat my shorts!" That time was the...Below Deck viewers just saw Kate Chastain get a surprise visit from her now ex-girlfriend Rocio Hernandez aka Ro on the most recent episode. They were lovey dovey and all over each other, which is such a stark contrast from where they are in “real time” these days.
Kate was charged with battery after she allegedly attacked Ro in June and the case is set to go to trial. The trial is scheduled for November 7th after the state formally charged Kate with battery domestic violence and domestic battery by strangulation.

It’s hard to know what actually happened between the former girlfriends, but the allegations are pretty damn brutal. Florida Today reported that Kate “went into a fit of rage” after a night out at the bar on June 11, 2016.
Supposedly, Kate physically attacked Ro. It’s being alleged in the police report that she “bit her girlfriend on the forearm, inner bicep, and leg; held her down and strangled her; put her knee on her head and pulled her hair; and covered her mouth and pinched her nose so she couldn’t breathe.”
Kate Chastain’s Lawyer Speaks Out – Maintains That Kate Is Innocent
Wow. That sounds like a very intense situation. And it is such a far cry from the super affectionate couple we saw on the show that was all over each other and constantly texting each other while Kate was on charter season.
It will definitely be interesting to see how this all plays out and it will most likely come up if there’s a Below Deck reunion episode this season.

Just think – all it took for the Gorgadices to mend their family feud was for Juicy to get incarcerated!
The episode begins counting down the days before Joe goes “away” for 41 months. No one feels it as deeply as Teresa Giudice, who tries to make each moment count with special activities for the girls to bond with their dad. First is a little Magnolia Bakery plug to decorate cupcakes for the birthdays Joe will miss while locked up. Also, there was glitter and we know Teresa has never been able to turn her back on an errant piece of glitter.

Teresa says Milania will miss Juicy them most – she has “a special bond” with the old troll. And that she does. Milania shoves a cupcake in Juicy’s face to show her love. Poor Gia, on the other hand, seems wise beyond her years as yet again she assumes the responsibility to help care for both Teresa and her sisters.
While the Giudices are dealing with that milestone, Jacqueline Laurita‘s family is dealing with another. Ashlee is pregnant, but Jacqueline is somehow making Ashlee’s pregnancy all about how sad it is she can’t share this momentous news with her sister, her BFF, the woman she hates above all others: Teresa!
While looking at baby stuff, Ashlee reveals that Melissa Gorga texted congratulations and Jacqueline bursts into tears. She wishes she hadn’t over-reacted in Vermont, screaming “fake, phony bitch!” like a banshee in heat, thus losing all her friends. Ashlee helpfully reminds us that Teresa has a lot going on her in life presently, but “all bad stuff.”
Ashlee reveals she’s planning on having a natural birth. Jacqueline decides to help Ashlee prepare by buying some plastic babies and smears some pudding in their diapers. You know, a baby shower game. Except Ashlee is like 3 minutes pregnant and this ain’t now baby shower, just Jacqueline sitting around with Dolores Catania and Siggy Flicker filling diapers with fake shit while Jacqueline spews fake bullshit over losing Teresa – again – and now she’s lost Juicy too! Oh, also, Mommy Ashlee was nowhere in sight.
Poor Jacqueline – everything is about her! She is the emotional tornado that engulfs everything in her unstable path, demanding more, more, more, more!
So, Siggy is crying again! This time she may have a legit reason. Maybe. The experiences in Vermont have inspired Siggy to focus on what’s actually important: no, not Jacqueline and Teresa screaming at each other; no, not Kim D‘s drama; no, not how toxic people wreak havoc on a facelift, but connecting with her family and history.
Siggy invites her parents, sister, and children over for an intervention about how they don’t spend enough time together when Siggy’s mother reveals Siggy and Iris don’t spend enough with her either – so ha! Siggy bursts into tears, as Josh calls her a “hypocrite.”
For many years Siggy had no relationship with her family and it has made her self-obsessed. As a junior in college Siggy fled Israel to avoid serving time in the army and returned to the states where she lived with family friends. Her mom took to the Tel Aviv airport, but she never said good-bye to her father and then didn’t see them for 8 years?!
Siggy confides to Dolores that her mother’s admission made her realize where her own neediness stems from. Even worse – Siggy’s been so busy crying over Jacqueline and micro-analyzing everyone else’s relationships she’s neglected the most important ones. She has a daughter who thinks she’s gonna marry a Backstreet Boy, and a son who confuses Google with his parents. Dolores, RHONJ’s real relationship expert, explains that “everyone is very nice in small doses” but dealing with the emotional mayhem of Housewives should be no one’s full-time investment.
Siggy takes her children and parents to the Holocaust Memorial in Brooklyn to hear their grandfather’s story of how his family escaped Nazi persecution in WWII by fleeing the native Belgium for France, then going into hiding for years until a Catholic priest finally helped them escape to Switzerland. There he was separated from his parents as a very young boy for 2-years.
Even Josh is shocked. How had he never heard that story before?! He’s 17!
Siggy is not the only survivor – Teresa and Joe will also survive his incarceration.
As they prepare for Juicy’s going-away party Melissa realizes what a difference a year makes – last year when Teresa left, she and Poison weren’t even speaking, so they never said good-bye. This year, Teresa is leaning on Poison and Melissa for support and their relationship is strong.
She has no energy for Jacqueline’s drama. Melissa isn’t sure if Jacqueline is attending the ENVY fashion show and doesn’t care – Melissa is over caring because what really matters is her family being there for Teresa, Joe, and the girls. Well, this is a refreshingly NON-Housewives attitude! Melissa better mind her Ps & Qs – Bravo won’t like this non-drama.
There are no Bravo cameras at Juicy’s party, just home videos (aka one lone Bravo camera man to free-hand film). Teresa didn’t want to have a party initially, but being there, surrounded by friends and family – people who truly care about them – seeing Joe interact with everyone, riding a mechanical bull with her honey, seeing Juicy hug his nephews, changed her mind. Everyone is there – all the Housewives, plus plenty of ‘non-Bravo people’ except Jacqueline and Chris. Instead, Chris has skipped the party to go bowling with the ostracized cancerous people, Kathy, Rosie, and Richie.
Rosie no longer cares about Juicy. She dismisses loving him, ’cause she has a new girlfriend and that’s what matters now! So putting the family back together no longer matters? Chris explains that he didn’t go to Juicy’s party because inevitably someone would say something about Jacqueline. Cause OF COURSE all things are about Jacqueline, including a going away party for a man who was headed to prison for 3-years!
Then Richie makes gross jokes about having a four-way with Kathy, Rosie, and Rosie’s hot girlfriend. Bravo enough with these people! Can’t Poison fire up his truck and take out the trash?
The day before Joe leaves, he and Teresa canoodle by the firepit, watching kids zoom around on 4-wheelers.
Joe is ready to pay his debt to society and emerge from prison a better man, just like Teresa before him. And Teresa is prepared to be without Juicy for the first time in her life. They share strawberries and kisses – it was a sweet and earnest moment between two people who realize they must put the past behind them, moving away from it one foot in front of the other, one step at a time, and decide they will get through this, together, but apart.
The next morning Teresa sobs as she hugs Joe goodbye. He acknowledges no one is prepared for going “in,” but this is the situation he’s faced with so he’s making the best of it. Teresa encourages him to attend all the religious ceremonies – even Ramadan-dan until he’s Ramadan-done!
Juicy gets into the SUV to self-surrender to prison, while Joe and Melissa look on. The kids remain in the house but the paparazzi line up and down the street. Later Teresa holds it together when Siggy calls to check in, but later, once her mother has come and gone, she falls apart when Joe and Melissa call. They make plans with her even though she seems hesitant because she’s too distraught, but they are not going to let her flounder, they will prop her until she can once again balance unassisted in 5″ heels.
Teresa texted Melissa “I love you” and this has warmed Melissa’s heart. It has turned a grasping, On Display desperate J. Faux wannabe, “fake, phony bitch” with enough skeletons in her famewhoring closet social media investigators consider her a serial killer of her own past phoniness, into a real, live girl. Finally being accepted by Teresa has thawed all that.
Instead Melissa is icing Jacqueline out, and she’s floated down to the ground, looked around and discovered ME-lissa isn’t the most important thing in the world. Although she still hasn’t gotten a handle on Poison’s inappropriate mouth. Yuck!
Of course Jacqueline is still living in the Plastic People Palace. Holding a plastic baby with fake poop in it’s pants, the nu-fake, phony bitch cries – YES, CRIES – that she can’t be there for her favorite criminal in need. Last week Teresa was a liar, sic’ing her soldiers on Jacqueline intent to destroy her, and Jacqueline was shrieking “criminal!” in her face then vowing to never speak to her again cause their friendship was officially “DEAD,” but this week, sitting on the infamous back deck where friendships are tortured and bound and gagged, Jacqueline is crying over photos of Teresa hugging Juicy good-bye and wondering if she should reach out.
I don’t think Jacqueline has PMS. I think she caught Famewhore-itis from Melissa – a raging case of it! Or maybe not – I think she’s crazy with or without cameras, but they certainly exacerbate her cry-on-command; crazy-on-command behavior! Sadly, instead of calling her out on her BS, Dolores and Siggy just watch-on, confused, bouncing fake babies on their laps while Jacqueline tries to squeeze fake tears from her fake face.
If Jacqueline really wanted to be there for Teresa she wouldn’t have invited her over for diner, then turned the conversation all about Teresa’s crimes. She wouldn’t have started crap in Vermont because she wasn’t getting enough attention from Teresa, then played victim and lashed-out. If Jacqueline claims she cares, but her non-caring words and non-caring actions are speaking VERY, VERY loudly. If Jacqueline truly cared, she would realize that, right now, at this moment in Teresa’s life, Jacqueline cannot come first – except Jacqueline doesn’t care about Teresa, she cares about using Teresa to get camera-time. Unfortunately Teresa is in remission from cancerous people.
Jacqueline is the girl who cried ‘I care’ – and we no longer believe her, and neither does Teresa!
Teresa’s daughters must come first As 4 of the 5 Giudice girls huddle in bed on their first night without Joe, they say a prayer for daddy in prison and cry for the gulf of missing that washes over them. Then Gabriella walks to the massive doorway to switch off the light, and Teresa is left in the dark wondering just how and why she was so stupid to get caught up in the wrong things.
Oh, man as unpopular as it is, I love Juicy! He’s a hot mess but a squishable one!
TELL US – WILL YOU MISS JOE? WILL HE CHANGE FOR THE BETTER IN PRISON? WERE JACQUELINE’S TEARS FOR TERESA REAL?

Fashion from the '90s is so iconic that it's always immediately clear when you're watching something from the decade. But considering that television has evolved so much in the past 20...Now that Sheree Whitfield is officially back as a cast member on Real Housewives of Atlanta, you bet that she’s going to make just like the other Housewives and put her name on every kind of product possible. So many of them have “written” books so why not Sheree?
I have a lot of love for the OG RHOA cast member so I’m hoping Sheree’s book ends up doing well. I hate to throw shade here, but we all know that she could use the money, so I really do want this venture to go well.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
Sheree shared an image of its cover on her Instagram page, so we now know that its title is Wives, Fiancees, and Side-Chicks of Hotlanta. That sounds like some pretty soapy stuff to me, so I would probably read it, but then again I’m a little too Housewives-obsessed, so I’m the last person to ask.
Nevertheless, I am upset this is novel instead of an autobiography because I feel like Sheree’s real life would have a lot more to offer than any work of fiction, but I’ll take what I can get.
Sheree Says There’s “A Lot Of Shade Being Thrown” In Her Upcoming Book
Along with the image of the book cover, Sheree wrote, “Luvs, it’s finally here! You’re the first to see the cover of my first novel. It’s juicy – can you tell if it’s real or rumor? Coming soon to bookshelves near you! #RHOA #WontHeDoIt #SoExcited”
I’m hoping this book is being pushed as a “novel,” but somehow very obviously resembles Sheree’s own life with easy to decode pseudonyms so I can get a little inside scoop about Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Last season Bravo introduced Real Housewives Of Dallas, and now the network has just announced Married To Medicine Houston.
We all know Bravo seems to LOVE a medical drama and raising suspicions about whether or not someone has health issues, so why not?!
Married To Medicine Houston premieres Nov 11th, and follows five doctors and doctors’ wives through the high stakes world in the society of saving lives. Let’s just hope the catchprase isn’t “charity“!
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Per the press release, these wives and doctors appear to “have it all” but “major obstacles that threaten their upward momentum.” I predict a cheating scandal…
RELATED – Married To Medicine Returns For Season 4 On Nov 6th!
Meet the cast and see the preview below.
Ashandra “Shan” Batsiste: The “feisty” dental surgeon doesn’t go anyway without her 6″ heels (yes, that includes the operating room). Shan is divorced, but recently remarried to Richard, a medical device sales rep, and they are parents to Logan, 3, and Avery, 10. She enjoys working out, reading, and partying. “Nothing Shan does is average; she knows how to enjoy life’s luxuries and look fabulous while doing it,” teases Bravo.
Elly Pourasef: An audiologist with a private practice, Elly loves that her job changes lives daily, and is a self-described “workaholic.” She’s also marked to Ryan, who works in the automotive industry, and a refugee. Elly and her family fled Iran when she was 5-years-old. She’s deeply connected to her Persian roots and very close to her family. She also runs an event-planning side business that caters to Texas’ “elite Persian community.” Please tell me we won’t be getting any visits from Shahs of Sunset cast members… although I do wonder if she’s friends with Lilly Ghalichi!
Erika Sato: A plastic surgeon who specializes in breast reduction, Erika has worked very hard to become competitive in the male-dominated field of cosmetic surgery. She’s newly married to Derek, who is completing his surgery residency. With their extremely busy lives they struggle to make time their personal life and also question whether it’s a good time to begin expanding their family.
Monica Patel: A “quadruple board certified cardiologist,” Monica comes from a very close-knit traditional Indian family and is dedicated to doing charitable work providing free health care to underdeveloped countries. Monica vacillates between balancing her serious doctor side by day and her fun-loving social side by night. She’s currently single!
Rachel Suliburk – The only non-doctor of the cast, Rachel is married to trauma surgeon Dr. James Suliburk. To fulfill her role as the ultimate doctor’s wife, Rachel is currently earning her Bachelor’s in Nursing, and the couple struggles to spend quality time together. However, when they do make time for socializing they truly let loose and are known for their lavish parties and unique home. Rachel is also active in volunteer work.
I gotta say – this is one really accomplished group of women. Let’s hope Bravo doesn’t send the entire season making them look foolish. The preview looks really interesting as we watch these extremely professional and successful women still face personal life challenges that are realistic.
I’d love to see these women getting along while getting glimpses into their lives without petty nonsense and puerile fights dominating. Of course, I fully expect to be diagnosed with disappointment in a few months!
A preview is below.
Married To Medicine Houston premieres November 11 at 9/8 CST.

Chantel and Pedro finally came clean on last night’s 90 Day Fiance. And it went as well as expected…which is to say, not well at all. Meanwhile, Nicole is still playing out her Arabian Nights fantasy with Azan in the deserts of Morocco, but the physical exertion of a single outing on foot is enough to make her pine for the days when she could merely sit on her couch and Skype with Azan from afar.
As for Anfisa and Jorge, they’re still in deep negotiations about the terms and conditions of Anfisa’s stay in the U.S. By the way, Anfisa thinks she can be a model! Jorge of course perpetuates this delusion, hoping that she’ll rake in her own dough so he can stop pretending he has any. Although he draws the line at “distasteful” photos (read: topless). As for the other couples: They are still a depressing mess. (TLC, where do you FIND these people?!?!?)
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
As Anfisa Googles “How To Become a Celebrity When You Have No Skills” on Wikipedia, Jorge wonders if he’ll ever be able to make her happy. Then he has a totally unrehearsed idea right out of the blue! <side eye> Maybe he can hook her up with his photographer friend to get some modeling shots taken? Anfisa huffs and puffs about how all of the models on most photographer’s sites “are ugly,” but she’s willing to be passively booked for a session anyway. She asks Jorge if he’s okay with her going topless? Jorge is all, “Over my dead body!” At the sound of this threat, Anfisa’s eyes light up for the first time this season. Cue a future episode of Snapped.
In PA, Narkyia is taking her cousin, friend, and mom out shopping for a bridal gown – even though her groom is still in Nigeria. Now that Lowo’s gotten his K1 visa approved, he can come over to the U.S., but Narkyia wants to get a jump start on this 90-day process. Narkyia’s mother looks lucid and sane enough, but strangely doesn’t talk her daughter out of this absurd quest to marry a man who quite literally CATFISHED her.
Neither do Narkyia’s friends, instead taking out their frustration on Narkyia’s unfortunate choice in wedding gowns. They don’t like the first one. They don’t trust it. It’s fishy. It’s a liar. This wedding gown will ruin Narkyia’s life!!! Narkyia catches their drift, but wishes she had their support, foolishly demanding that everyone in her life just go along with this deranged plan whether they think it’s a scam or not. (Um, isn’t that what they’re basically doing?) Mom cries a little at seeing her daughter don the third, winning bridal gown, but these may not be tears of joy. These are the tears a mother sheds as she ponders, Where did I go so very wrong?!?
In Morocco, Azan has prepared a “special surprise” for Nicole: A proposal! Right on the heels of a huge fight about Azan’s culture, Azan wants to asks Nicole to marry him. Because that makes total sense. He’s got a diamond ring and single tent set up to do the deed. But first, they must dance around a fire and pretend to be in love. This charade must end! Alas, it does not, as Azan stops the band from playing to do the deed. He tells Nicole he’s sure that he wants her to be his wife. “I cannot live without you,” he says, seemingly in earnest, as he kneels down to pop the question. Nicole cries, then of course says yes.
“Finally, you’re my fiance,” Azan croons once they’re back in the tent. Then it’s time to close the tent curtain so Nicole can molest make love to the man of her dreams. “The question of us getting much sleep tonight is unknown!” Nicole giggles. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Why, Azan? WHYYYYYYY?
Back in KY, Matt, Alla, and Max eat dinner together. Alla’s first few weeks in the U.S. have been tough. She’s seeing what a jealous person Matt is; plus, she’s homesick. Alla Skypes with her sister Iryna back in Ukraine. She wants her to come over for the wedding, but it’s doubtful she’ll obtain a visa. Because they don’t have parents, Alla and Iryna are the only family each other have. Max misses his auntie and cousin too. Alla tears up as she tells her sister how much she wants her here for the wedding. She feels totally isolated.
Back in Narkyia’s world, she’s planning her wedding guest invitation list, confirming a venue, and checking over the bridesmaids gowns. Not to mention, getting waxed. No matter that her groom is MIA! He’ll be here soon enough, since he’s a man of his word and all. As Narkyia DIY’s glitter votives for the reception, Lowo calls to deliver some bad news: His visa has been delayed due to paperwork (specifically, a police report) not being in order yet. Hmm. Still no red flags yet, Narkyia? Really? Okay, girl. We’re just going to hang out in this alternate universe with you a while and chill.
Lowo says he needs paperwork from Vietnam, where he was “studying,” before his Nigerian paperwork can be completed. “What are we gonna do about the wedding?” whines Narkyia. Lowo says they’ll have to move the wedding date if things take too long. All of Narkyia’s planning might have been for naught. But hey – at least she has those sweet spray-painted votives to throw at things when the white hot rage of her broken dreams finally settles over her like a plague of locusts. #BrightSide
It’s the day of Anfisa’s soft core porn photo shoot! She brings her best stank face along for the gig, along with her stank attitude. A winning combo. As Anfisa discusses her modeling aspirations, the photographer mildly questions if Anfisa has ever researched anything about the modeling industry in her entire lifetime? Because, uh, she’s too short and too plain to even think about breaking into the biz. But he’s not here to school her on her delusions; he’s here to collect a paycheck. Plus, he doesn’t want to “make her mad.” Seems like photographer dude picked up rather quickly on Anfisa’s murdery vibe, no?
The makeup artist jovially asks Anfisa about her modeling goals too. Print? Television? Commercial? Runway? (Snort!) Anfisa is like, “Yeah.” She has no idea what is happening right now…except that the makeup artist is actually making her look worse than better. If that’s possible?
Jorge is nervous about Anfisa’s modeling aspirations, noting that it might get her more attention from men. If she starts stepping out on him, “then she’s getting sent back to Russia,” he claims, which is ironic coming from the man who picked Anfisa up based on her online semi-nudes. And who’s willing to pay her any amount of money for the, erm, “services” she provides. Jorge gets more nervous seeing Anfisa strut around in a$$-less lingerie during the shoot, but Anfisa just thinks it’s cute when Jorge gets jealous. “It shows he cares about me,” she deadpans.
Plus, Jorge does have to admit that this is the happiest he’s seen Anfisa since she’s been here. He just ridiculously hopes that Anfisa is in the U.S. for him, not for fame and fortune. I also hope that our presidential election suddenly morphs into a civil, kind-hearted process in which we can all maturely exchange ideas and remain friends. Alas, neither of these dreams seems likely! (At least not in the next 90 days.)
Okay, time to get real in Atlanta! Chantel and Pedro have been lying to Chantel’s parents for long enough. With only SIX DAYS to wed, they’ve got to confess their plans. Pedro will no doubt be thrown squarely under the bus for Chantel’s botched plan, even though she is the one who masterminded this insane fiasco. Chantel also immaturely wants Pedro – of the broken English – to do all of the explaining when the time comes. My lord, this chick needs to grow the F up.
As they gather with Chantel’s parents and brother after basketball later, Pedro tries his best to explain, but can’t. Chantel finally steps up to admit the truth: Pedro is here on a K1 “fiance” visa, and they have to get married on Thursday. Chantel’s parents are all, “This Thursday?!” Pedro explains that he needs to change his status from immigrant to married (citizen? what is the term here?) or he’ll have to return to the Dominican Republic.
Chantel’s dad wonders why they didn’t mention this 90-day plan, say, 90 days ago? Or 50 days ago? Chantel’s brother is upset about being lied to. “Why the secrecy?” asks Dad. Chantel didn’t think her family would support her decision, but now she’s given them no chance to even process the decision. In a happy twist, Chantel’s parents are not mad at Pedro. And her mom, though she can’t believe Chantel is dropping this bomb on them, admits she has no choice but to support their decision even if she disagrees with the way it was handled.
Reality slowly dawns on Chantel that lying to her parents for nearly three months might not have been her best move at adulting. She pouts that this moment of revelation is not a celebratory one! As if it could be, given the circumstances that she, alone, created.
Regretfully, we are thrust back into Nicole and Azan’s desert tent of shame before the episode wraps so we can hear Nicole sigh again about how “this doesn’t feel real!” As they lie on their sides looking into each other’s eyes, Nicole says she can’t wait to show off her ring to everyone. Also, they can start the K1 visa process now, which seems to be Azan’s main goal here. Nothing else computes.
The glittery haze of their post-coital bliss wears off quickly though as Azan takes Nicole on a desert hike, which nearly kills her. Like, for real. “I can’t! I can’t!” cries a breathless Nicole, wilting to the ground in near cardiac arrest. Azan scolds her to “stop being lazy and go do some workouts honey!” But Nicole is not about that workout life. She’d rather sit in the sand and look at her ring. Azan knows that Nicole is “not a healthy person,” but he seems to hope that she will somehow change in the next 90 days or so…?
Nicole has no plans of changing, crying, “I’m not a workout person!” as Azan hefts her up from the sand dune. She claims her parents have tried that healthy sh*t on her for years, and it hasn’t worked so far. Azan, Azan, Azan. Ever hear the old adage of believing a person when they show you who they really are? This is the real Nicole. And now, she’s allllllll yours, bro.
TELL US: WILL ANFISA’S MODELING GOALS TRIGGER JORGE TO FINALLY QUESTION HER MOTIVES? CAN CHANTEL AND PEDRO BOUNCE BACK FROM THEIR LIES? IS AZAN CAPABLE OF CHANGING NICOLE? SHOULD NARKYIA JUST CUT BAIT AND RUN?
