Shannon Beador may be on a health food kick as she tries to lose weight, but she doesn't exactly have the full support of her entire family. In this sneak peek of tonight's...Tonight The Real Housewives of Dallas are back with the second episode of the new season and things are tense.
First, Stephanie and her husband go mansion hunting together (hello pool in the living room for 8 million!), but things go awry later on when she finds out that Travis purchased a house without consulting her.
Stephanie‘s plan to put a wedge between new besties LeeAnne and Brandi backfires on her and instead puts her own friendships with Cary and LeeAnne on the outs.
D’Andra attempts to make moves towards taking over her mother’s cosmetics business, but it won’t be easy since her mother is resistant to D’Andra’s new ideas and need for a marketing budget.
Things don’t go well when Brandi and Stephanie come face to face again at the Howl-O-Ween dog costume contest.

We may be in for another predictable Big Brother 19 week. The house has united against evicting Mark Jansen, but he doesn’t appear to be as juicy of a target to evict this Big Brother 19 week as he once was in the game. He has no allies left, is a genuine nice guy, and he seems resigned to his Big Brother fate. Like many before her, Head of Household Christmas Abbott seems to be going the safe route this week.
A bolder move would have been to try to take out Alex Ow or Jason Dent because they are a very strong duo–based on their bonds and competition success. By striking at Jason or Alex, Christmas would lose them as allies. However, their allegiance is temporary anyway, so it would be smarter just to strike now when she has the opportunity to weaken a strong duo, instead of just taking out a player already on the bottom.
Christmas considered targeting Jason this week, but that was only if Mark won the Power of Veto. We already know that Mark didn’t get backdoored, but he lost the Veto competition. Jason won it and plans to take himself off the block.
So did Mark go up as this week’s Big Brother 19 replacement nominee?
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Jason removed himself from the block. Mark Jansen went up as a replacement nominee. On Thursday, either Matt Clines or Mark will be evicted from the Big Brother 19 house.

As the Shahs of Sunset continue their politically incorrect spiritual tour of Israel, tonight’s episode is all about opening up and being honest within their friendships and lives. That’s a pretty tall order, especially for Asa “Did You Know I’m Having a Baby” Soltan Rahmati, who has been dodging questions about her personal life faster than you can say miracle baby. None of this is sitting well with Mercedes “MJ” Javid, who desperately wants to make a baby of her own and thinks the more she tells people, the more likely it is to happen. Everyone click yourselves into your overpriced strollers and hang on, because tonight is going to be a bumpy ride.
We rejoin the Shahs at the Western Wall, where they are all praying for what they want, except Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi, who sits there fuming about being out of her element. Dressed in camo pants and an angry look on her face, she minds her own business but claims that an Israeli man harassed her by saying “jihad” to her. I guess the multiple camera pointed at her didn’t catch that part but of course, GG wouldn’t make something up now would she? *Pausing as I list in my head all the things GG has made up over the course of the show*
Shervin Roohparvar is also feeling disconnected from the Wall, but Asa and her baby certainly aren’t. Once they are done, she wastes no time telling everyone that her baby was kicking through her to the Wall as she leaned up against it. In this moment, I wish I was at the Western Wall so I could make a wish that Asa would STFU about her baby. Thankfully, and I never thought I would say this, but Destiney Rose is there to change the subject, talking about how she can’t believe she is feeling so free as a Muslim woman in “Jewish-land.”. Sigh, it’s called Israel, Destiney. We thought you figured that out by now.
They finally leave the Wall to go to a marketplace and we have to hear more Deep Thoughts by Reza Farahan, like “We are shopping where Jesus shopped”. GG is finally excited over finding some knives for sale but even more so, she is feeling the presence of her boyfriend, Shalom everywhere since she hears his name so many times a day in Israel. This prompts her to seek guidance from Reza about her plans for the future with Shalom. Mainly, the fact that she wants to have kids with him but she’s worried about her kids coming from two different cultures and religions that don’t get along. Reza, despite being a train wreck of a person overall, is the perfect person for GG to ask because he’s both Jewish and Muslim. You would think after all the seasons of him talking openly about how painful and hard it was, GG would know his thoughts on the matter but she asks anyway. He’s happy to reiterate how awful it was and wonders how GG is even talking about having kids with a Jewish guy when she wasn’t even comfortable coming to Israel in the first place.
If you’re just as confused as Reza, you’re about to get a whole lot more confused because despite all of GG’s concerns, she has arranged for a tattoo artist to tattoo Shalom’s name in Hebrew on her side. Somehow, Asa and Destiney are on board with this and don’t try and talk her out of it. Reza, MJ, Shervin and Mike Shouhed don’t even bother to pay GG any mind and choose to instead go out, get drunk and talk about how dumb she is.
Reza still can’t understand what GG is thinking but I don’t even think GG knows what she is thinking so it’s probably best to just leave the thinking to someone else……not MJ but ugh, we have to hear MJ’s musings about her future pregnancy nonetheless. Even Reza’s patience is starting to wear thin as MJ constantly toasts to her last hurrah, holding firm in the belief that when she gets home, fiancé Tommy Feight will immediately knock her up. Reza tries to burst her bubble, saying at her age, it might not be as easy to get pregnant as she thinks and wonders why MJ thinks it’s ok to have a child without being married after dragging Asa so hard about it. Does MJ have an answer for him? No. Do I think MJ just likes saying “bastard child” at this point to get a rise out of everyone? Yes. Does she have any idea of what she’s talking about? No. MJ goes on to say she won’t marry Tommy unless she’s pregnant because of his “character issues”, which include smoking in front of her dogs and eating hard candy at midnight. The guys can’t even pretend to look like they understand what the hell she is talking about and thankfully, it’s time to go and get drunk, one last time for MJ, because you know, she’s gonna be pregnant soon.
They stumble back to the hotel at 3 AM, with MJ drunk enough to think changing in her pink sweatpants and bra then wandering around with her boob hanging out is a good idea. She finds GG’s room key and they storm her room, demanding to see her dumb tattoo, then urging her to call Shalom to show him. His reaction is exactly what I would expect from a guy who is newly dating someone that gets his name tattooed on her body: “What is wrong with you guys?” Oh Shalom, we are six seasons in and I still ask myself that very question every time I watch an episode.
The next morning, the gang heads to the Dead Sea and Deep Thoughts with Reza continues as he reminds us the Dead Sea is not Santa Monica Beach, in case anyone was confused. While everyone settles in for lunch, Asa asks Mike and Reza how their night out was. Instead of telling her the details of their drinking, they immediately spill how MJ was up to her usual tricks of claiming she will have a miracle bun in her own delusional oven and using the term “bastard child” to refer to any child born out of wedlock, a/k/a Asa’s baby. Now Asa can claim spiritual peace and enlightenment all she wants, she is not able to let this little tidbit go.
As soon as they sit down for lunch, she confronts MJ about how she keeps jabbing at her. When MJ pretends to not hear her, Asa has no choice but to address her by name and tell her how hurtful it is that she is referring to Asa’s child as a bastard. MJ deflects by asking who else thought it was strange Asa was having a baby without being married and Mike steps up to admit it. MJ maintains that she has never met a pregnant person so secretive and who feels like every question is an attack. Asa tries to make a case on shaky ground that she might not be open with everything but she is more open than MJ about other things, like her age and weight. The rest of the Shahs jump in, claiming MJ not being open about her weight crosses some kind of imaginary moral line. Reza tries to throw Asa a lifeline and says how she tells him things that she doesn’t tell everyone else, but it backfires and Mike and GG gripe about why they should be friends with someone who isn’t sharing their whole life with them too.
Shervin pipes up to say something and instead of centering the conversation or actually saying something useful, he wants to know if Asa used any hormonal therapy to get pregnant. This kicks off a convoluted, confusing train of thought by Asa about her fertility journey to a miracle child. She claims that she did not do hormone therapy, but she did freeze her eggs years ago, but it actually wasn’t just her eggs, they froze seven male embryos that they didn’t even use because she got pregnant naturally. Mike is no doctor, but has a really hard time believing that Asa could get pregnant so quickly and naturally, at the ripe old age of 40. I’m guessing that aside from not being a doctor, Mike doesn’t spend much time around women over the age of 25, so I’m not sure how he would know but I do have a newsflash for him and the rest of the Shahs: despite your constant desire to throw money away with freezing any fluid that comes out of your nether regions for the fun of the show, the rest of the world is well aware of the fact that it’s entirely possible to get pregnant naturally at the age of forty. Women do it all the time. But back to the issue, which is Asa not being honest with them and from my point of view, I’m not sure why Asa even brought up the embryo freeze if she didn’t even end up using them to get pregnant, like she claims. This all seems like a pointless part of the conversation but not to MJ, who is pissed because years ago, when she froze her eggs, Asa was asking her all about it, the whole time knowing that she already went through a similar process herself. MJ knows she won’t get the honest answers she is looking for and has no choice but to suggest that they all go float in the Dead Sea since they came all this way to see it. Everyone jumps right in and slathers themselves with mud while Asa sits on the beach, saying how emotionally poisoned she feels by their treatment of her.
Once they are back at the hotel, MJ FaceTimes Tommy, who is at the hospital visiting her dad. Mike comes in and gets to partake in the conversation, where Tommy dutifully follows MJ’s instructions to squeeze her dad’s hand and tell her how he’s making out. As she breaks down into tears, Tommy assures her that her dad is OK and not to cry. As ridiculous as I find Tommy and his nicknames for MJ’s boobs, he really has grown on me and seems like a good guy. When MJ hangs up, she breaks down into tears and Mike comforts her, but gives some tough love by telling her that she can’t let her father’s illness stop her from living her life and that he would want to see her married and happy.
The last stop on the list of things to do in Israel is House Number 3, a world renowned restaurant that is owned by two people who are running it out of their gorgeous house. Reza can’t help but comment on how poppin the Israeli real estate market is as they walk up to the house. The food comes and it looks delicious, until the Chef serves a pregnant fish. Naturally, all roads pregnant lead back to Asa, who refuses to eat it because it reminds her too much of her.
MJ makes a toast to Tommy and Mike uses it as another opportunity to sing Tommy’s praises and remind her that Tommy is a good guy and won’t wait around for her if she doesn’t marry him. MJ starts to cry, saying she is dealing with a lot and Asa, convinced that MJ is manipulating everyone, takes pictures of the food she won’t eat. Mike tries to bring it back, saying that they went on this vacation to fight to be more open with their friendships. Whatever that means.
Asa decides that enough time has passed talking about other things aside from her baby and well, that can’t happen. So she has to make a big announcement but first, chastise everyone for how hurtful they were and how it almost cause her not to share the sex of the baby with them. She said almost because of course she is going to share, she is just bursting at the seams to talk more about her miracle baby. Asa announces she is going to have a son and half the table claps and celebrates, while MJ decides that Asa is a fraud. I get where MJ’s crazy train of a brain is going – Asa mentions she had seven frozen embryos, all male, sitting on ice and now she magically appears pregnant with a son. But in the same regard, I can’t understand why MJ seems to think it would be so easy for her to get pregnant right away at the age of 44 but it’s impossible for Asa to do it at 40.
Now that Asa has gotten her announcement out of the way, it’s time for everyone else to jockey for something important to say and Reza makes a teary toast about how much this trip has made him feel like a part of the Jewish family he never got love from growing up. Mike toasts to everyone’s courage for coming on the trip and laments about how they are all a tree and Israel ended up being the soil that allowed them to grow together. Let’s just hope this tree he’s talking about can withstand the sh*t storms of the rest of the season!
TELL US – THOUGHTS ON LAST NIGHT’S EPISODE? WERE THEY TOO DISRESPECTFUL IN ISRAEL? ARE YOU OVER ASA’S PREGNANCY? DOES MJ HAVE A RIGHT TO BE IRRITATED WITH HER?

It’s been a slow march to the courthouse for Danielle and Mohamed getting to last night’s 90 Day Fiance finale, but they finally face off this week. In another humiliating confrontation, Jorge and Anfisa have a little business to attend to – such as, does he plan on paying her for services rendered, or will she also be heading to a courthouse to start divorce proceedings? Paola continues to act like she just met “conservative Oklahoma boy” Russ yesterday, and Russ continues to feign shock that his thirsty bride is a two-bit hustler sexy model. And Pedro and Chantel – well, just ugh. As they march delusionally toward the altar for round two, their equally dysfunctional families gather to celebrate the doomed couple.
We begin in the Dominican Republic, where the sad-sack music TLC used to reserve for the likes of Danielle/Jorge types is now being used on every single Chantel/Pedro scene. And rightly so. This family bonding trip has gone from “No thanks on the chicken feet!” to “Slut a$$ b*tch a$$ whore!!!!” in just under a week. As she gets her makeup and hair done for the ceremony, Chantel admits all of this to her friend and sister, but doesn’t get into details. Suffice to say, everyone hates everyone. But young, naive Chantel thinks that it doesn’t matter. Love will conquer all!!! Or they will get divorced in under a year.
All dressed up in his tux, Pedro finally feels excited. His mom and sister even tear up when they see him, visions of flat screen TVs and new condos floating before them. As Chantel gets her wedding gown on, her mom prepares for battle – should it ensue. She’s not playing around anymore.
Still in New Jersey, Paola celebrates her first music video shoot, which gave her the opportunity to dance in clubs, lay on filthy sheets, and contract viruses we do not yet have cures for. In her hotel room later, Paola Skypes with Russ to confess that she wore lingerie in the video, showing him the “wardrobe” (term used loosely) while giggling. Surprise, mi amore! Russ is pissed. But what can he do? Nada.
The day of the annulment is upon our fair couple, Danielle and Mohamed. As Beth chain-smokes in the getaway vehicle outside of the courthouse, Danielle and Mohamed face a judge inside. A judge who probably thought it was going to be just another day of your garden variety wackjobs and angry teenagers arguing their cases. Then Danielle and Mo walked in. This judge is a hero.
After an hour passes, it looks like things didn’t go so well for Danielle, who walks out crying, then tells Beth the news: The annulment is basically a no-go, so divorce is the only option. This will make it more difficult to get Mohamed deported, which is Danielle’s greatest wish, next to owning Mo as a sex slave. She’s been FRAUDED, ya’ll! Except she can’t prove it. She also can’t take the sight of Mohamed marching out of the courthouse, selfie stick in hand, still recording his ridiculous video for his “supporters.” (Who might these people be? Hmmm…)
But because this issue is really all about Danielle still wanting a piece of Mo, she decides to stomp over to his car to get in a final word. Beth cheers her on, advising her to “be clear and make it count!” This advice makes me question whether Beth has ever heard Danielle speak before. In any case, Danielle confronts Mohamed, demanding they meet to talk later. He basically rejects her, but that is like rejecting the rain. It’s gonna fall on your head whether you want it to or not. RUN, Mohamed, RUNNNN!!!
Since she’s the stalker who won’t be deterred, Danielle vows to hunt Mohamed down later for one final (ha!) throwdown. She also wants to yell at him for posting “I am divorced” on social media. Because she wanted to pretend she was married for another 24 hours? When Danielle sits her daughters down to tell them the news, they are relieved. This relief lasts only moments, though, because they are then sadly informed that their insane mother is going to chase Mohamed down once again to seek “closure.” Danielle doesn’t process how redundant and psychotic this is, not to mention hurtful to her girls – who she claims are soooo important to her. She is a dog with a bone, and she’s not letting it go – especially since it’s still holed up in a motel nearby.
On to the next emotionally stunted mess! Yes, it’s time to check in with Jorge. In LA, Jorge drives to meet Anfisa in their apartment’s garage – the apartment he’s no longer allowed to live in. He’s got his $300 consignment bracelet at the ready, hoping it will buy win his wife back. Anfisa shows up in a little black dress, ready to hear Jorge grovel. He apologizes, then offers her his gift. “It doesn’t matter now,” says Anfisa, who just wants Jorge to stand up for her against his family. Jorge blames their problems on stress, but Anfisa presses him: What is he apologizing for? What is the issue here? Jorge has no clue. Perpetually.
“I’m glad you apologized, but it’s over,” Anfisa deadpans. Something tells me that these two have been broken up long before this moment, given how stiff they’re both acting in this scene. But Jorge does his best to carry the scenario out, asking when she stopped loving him and whether they have a chance of getting back together. Anfisa’s answers are: A while ago…and no. After stiffly hugging goodbye, Anfisa walks back inside while Jorge drives away to return that bracelet. He better have the receipt.
In Miami, Paola comes home to an irritated Russ. Sigh. We are then forced to bear witness to the SAME argument they’ve been having for nine weeks now. Paola thinks Russ is irrationally paranoid; Russ thinks Paola is disrespectful. Both are correct, but they must be okay with this endless dynamic, or else they are eternal masochists. In any case, it’s tiring and stupid at this point. Move on, people! In an effort to do just that, Paola and Russ make up after their argument, but it will be only a matter of days (hours?) before this fight is recycled. As Paola notes, they’re two very different people with two different value systems – period.
Speaking of different values, let’s take a peek at Chantel and Pedro’s families as they gather in the same confined space to watch their children symbolically (and financially) tie them together forever. Should be just peachy! Chantel’s parents do at least have the decency to present Pedro’s grandmother with an exceptionally large bouquet of flowers in apology/acknowledgment for acting despicably at her house earlier that week. Grandma accepts graciously, and Pedro breathes a very tiny sigh of relief.
As the ceremony unfolds, the soundtrack turns upbeat, and the crowd doesn’t start pulling knives out – so, is this a win? For the moment, it appears to be. But despite the good feeling this day is bringing everyone – including Mama Pedro – Chantel and Pedro’s problems will persist as long as their values clash. In other words, FOR LIFE. In the mean time – good luck, kids!
After that happy-ish moment, we’re sucked right back into the festering boil of Danielle and Mohamed’s world. Danielle shows up at Mo’s rented room, ready to give him a piece of her very addled mind. Mo doesn’t even let Danielle in the door, so her fit will hereby be thrown in public! And she throws it with as much enthusiasm as she can muster, until Mohamed finally lets her in to finish it. Danielle claims she is an adult, while Mo acts like a child – especially considering his actions on “SHOSHAL media!”
Mohamed, now with divorce in hand, no longer feels the need to listen to Danielle’s lunatic rants anymore, so he calmly demands she leave. As she stomps out, she offers some parting words: “You are a jacka$$!” (true) “You used me for a green card! (yup) “You are the WORST mistake in my life!” (questionable)
Mohamed has some parting words of his own, though, which pretty much sum up his feelings about this marriage since day one. “OK,” he answers, “Don’t touch me, please.” And there you have it. Now, Danielle can start filling her duffle bag with more evidence to get Mo deported. And Mo is free to dupe some other random chick into paying all of his bills, provided her name is Krystal or Diamond or Teflon. He likes the creative types!
Next week, we’ll see who walks off stage – and what Anfisa’s current line of work is (!!!) – in the 90 Day Fiance Couples Tell All reunion. Pop your popcorn, folks! It’s gonna be a circus.
TELL US: WILL DANIELLE LEAVE MOHAMED ALONE NOW (HA!)? WERE PEDRO AND CHANTEL’S FAMILIES GENUINELY HAPPY AT THE WEDDING? WILL THIS COUPLE MAKE IT? ARE YOU SHOCKED THAT ANFISA ENDED IT WITH JORGE?
