Bethenny Frankel Announces New TV Venture After Exit From Real Housewives Of New York

When Bethenny Frankel decided to quit Real Housewives of New York in August of 2019, it was a surprise to many viewers. According to co-star Ramona Singer, Bethenny’s fellow New York Housewives found out the news in the press. Yikes!

Allegedly, Bravo executives were upset with Bethenny months before she left RHONY because Bethenny was teaming up with Mark Burnett to produce unscripted TV shows. Whether or not you are a fan, Bethenny does create great television.

Variety reported that Bethenny announced that her new project, an unscripted reality competition series, has been picked up for eight episodes by HBO Max. In the half-hour series, titled The Big Shot With Bethenny, competitors will vie for a spot on the executive team of Bethenny’s Skinnygirl brand. I am a Bethenny fan, but just watching the way that she treated her staff and assistants on RHONY was stressful. I know that she is a perfectionist, but occasionally I would feel panicked watching at home.

So, what does Bethenny have to say about her new project? “Aside from motherhood, what truly defines me as a person is being a driven, passionate and hard-working woman determined to make the impossible possible. My mantra is to come from a place of ‘yes’ and to find and create the solution,” Bethenny stated.

She also said, “I am an executor of visions, and I share and impart that information to those who work with me. MGM has been neck-in-neck with me with ideas and their execution. I couldn’t be more thrilled to continue my longstanding relationship with Mark Burnett on this series and pay this American Dream story forward.”

In March of 2019, Bethenny inked the deal with Burnett and MGM Television to develop unscripted projects that she will executive produce and will always possibly even appear on camera.  According to Variety, The Big Shot With Bethenny is the first show under this new deal to nab a series order.

Jennifer O’Connell, executive vice president of original non-fiction and kids programming for HBO Max said, “I first met Bethenny when I put her on the first season of ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’ and she’s always both impressed and entertained me. It’s incredible to see her empire continue to grow and I know that candidates will be clamoring to work for her.”

Barry Poznick, MGM’s president of unscripted & alternative television and Orion Television, also sang Bethenny’s praises. “Bethenny is that rare talent whose creative instincts are equal to her business acumen and working with her to create this series has been an amazing collaboration. We’re giving fans what they want, access inside Bethenny’s businesses so they can see how she runs her empire, all while offering one fan the chance of a lifetime to join her executive team,” Poznick said. Bethenny will executive produce the new show along with Burnett, Dan Cesareo, Lucilla D’Agostino and Poznick.

Rapper Shot Dead At Home Owned By Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Star Teddi Mellencamp

There is another tragic shooting involved event coming out of the Real Housewives universe. Another shooting has taken place at an establishment, this time a residence, owned by a Housewife.  Teddi Mellencamp has been busy with her current pregnancy and filming the next season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It’s also well known that her husband, Edwin Arroyave, who is regularly featured on the show with her, is the CEO of a wealthy security company, although its reputation has long been suspect. If you remember when Kyle Richards’ new house was burglarized, Edwin’s company was the security they were using at the time of the robbery.

But security company aside, Edwin and Teddi also own a rental property in Los Angeles. This house was being rented by 20-year-old rapper, Pop Smoke. If you aren’t familiar with him or his music, the Brooklyn-born rapper is best known for his single, “Welcome to the Party”.

Sadly, Page Six reports that Pop Smoke was shot and killed on Wednesday during a house party at the home he was renting from Teddi and Edwin. It is believed that the shooting was a result of a home invasion robbery.

It’s being reported that two men wearing masks and hooded sweatshirts came into the house where Pop Smoke was staying at around 4:30 a.m. local time and fired multiple gunshots, resulting in the rapper’s death.

Teddi took to Instagram to post her condolences saying, “Early this am we were informed by a 3rd party leasing and management company overseeing a rental home we own in Los Angeles that a shooting had taken place at the property.”

She continued, “Foremost, we would like to extend our prayers and condolences to the family and loved ones affected by this tragic loss of life.”

Teddi also went on to say she has no other information about the shooting by saying, “We aren’t aware of any of the details beyond what we’ve been told or seen reported on the news and at this time we would like to refrain from commenting further as we wish for the focus to remain on the law enforcement officers who are diligently doing their jobs.”

We truly hope that all of those involved in the fatality can find justice out of this tragedy.

90 Day Fiancé Recap: Tell All Part 2

Last night’s episode of 90 Day Fiance, the group lays it all out on the table in a dramatic Tell All showdown in New York City. Host Shaun Robinson gets answers to our burning questions from the season. Shocking reveals and juicy details are uncovered in the conclusion of the two part series.

This affair was packed full of drama with a capital D. Many couples have realized that their journey is not quite what they expected. Sit tight while this group continues to expose all of their dirty laundry. Let’s get straight to the recap!

Mike, 34 (Seguim, Washington) and Natalie, 35 (Ukraine)

Mike and Natalie’s relationship is in even worse condition, than we originally thought. The topic of their religious differences is discussed. Natalie is very religious, whereas Mike is an atheist who considers aliens a higher power. I still don’t understand how such an unlikely pair, even thought it was a good decision to date. It’s obvious neither is going to change their mindset and its affecting their relationship/

When Natalie is asked directly if she loves Mike, she still can’t say it. Apparently she fell out of love with him, after he hurt her. Both seem to play coy and try to evade the question. Natalie lets it slip that she felt betrayed which causes more questions and confusion from the curious cast. Girl, just tell us what happened! Finally Mike tells his version of the story, which we find out isn’t completely true. Apparently he spent the night at a female friend’s house. Natalie believes he cheated with this woman and that is why she doesn’t feel like she is in love anymore. Sorry, Mike but your story isn’t adding up.

Angela, 53 (Hazlehurst, Georgia) and Michael, 29 (Nigeria)

When discussing the visa process, a video is shown of Angela Deem receiving the news that Michael Ilesanmi was denied for his visa. Michael breaks down in tears watching the scene. I didn’t think it could get any worse than listening to Angela discuss having sex 48 times during her trip to Nigeria. Then the host introduces Michael’s friends via video chat. Angela immediately waves and says “Hi goofballs.” Of course, the footage shown is when his friends called her trashy. This is not going to go well.

Angela goes into an angry tirade when the host inquires as to why Michael’s friends don’t like her. Basically they double down on their statements and reiterate they believe her to be trashy. Well… they aren’t lying. Angela cursed and screamed a rebuttal but only managed to prove their point. Michael’s friends could only laugh as she threatened them through the screen. I can’t lie, it was the most entertaining part of the episode. Robert applauded Michael for standing up for his fiancé and called his friends “haters.” Chile please, have they met Angela?  Who wouldn’t warn their friend against someone like her? Hell I am still not entirely convinced she isn’t handcuffing him to the bed at night, so he can’t make a quick getaway.  The cast rallied around Angela, but I know they went home and laughed.

 

Blake, 29 (Los Angeles, California) and Jasmin, 27 (Finland)

First, who the hell styled Blake? He already was trying too hard with the Dennis the Menace hair, but now he has colored contacts too!!!!!!!!!!! Insert side eye emoji.  Blake’s friends join via video chat to discuss their thoughts on his wife, Jasmin. They basically confirmed what we saw all season. She is often standoffish and they believe she feels she is above them. Blake tries to defend his wife by saying her actions are cultural, not intentional.  I’m not buying it and apparently neither are Blake’s friends. Jasmin admitted that she doesn’t feel the need to spend time with her husband’s family or friends. Hopefully Jasmin will make more of an effort if she truly loves her husband.

 

TELL US- DO YOU BELIEVE MIKE CHEATED ON NATALIE? IS JASMIN SHY OR DOES SHE USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE? WHAT DID YOU THINK OF MICHAEL’S FRIENDS CALLING ANGELA TRASHY?

Survivor: Winners At War Episode 2 Recap: Class Is In Session

No matter what school you belong to – Old School, New School, Red School, Blue School – one thing can easily be agreed on: When it comes to Survivor: Winners At War, class is officially in session. This red-hot all-winners season didn’t miss a beat following its electric two-hour premiere last week, and with this caliber of players we know that it’s only going to get better from here.

As I do at the beginning of every recap, please heed the following: Remember that this recap assumes that you have already seen this week’s episode of Survivor: Winners at War. If you have not and don’t want to be spoiled, please come back later! It’s important to add that while we WILL hit on all of the important developments of the episode, this is not a linear “blow-by-blow” recap. It is more of a discussion and reaction of what we just witnessed together.

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE, AND THIS IS YOUR LAST *SPOILER* WARNING!

Three hours and two episodes into Season 40, I think the argument can be made that the “old school” seems to be getting beat by the “new school” of players. With three contestants (all women…) now on The Edge of Extinction, the last two are bona fide old schoolers, with Amber and now Danni Boatwright having their torches snuffed out. With Amber, yes she was targeted because of her proximity with her husband, Boston Rob, but also because she didn’t show us too much in the game during her short time…she wasn’t able to form the relationships or simply keep up with the speed of the game. Danni on the other hand, came out swinging, but unfortunately her first punch was thrown at Boston Rob and it came back to bite her. Ultimately, she too, was not able to find a place in this game. And yes, Natalie was the first one voted out and she is a new school player, but she’s been in high-gear on The Edge, having collected two Fire Tokens now and really understanding – seemingly more than Amber – that she is still in a game and needs to work all angles accordingly.

This is not to say that the new school style of play will win out…it is FAR too early to call that. For even though we’ve now seen two old schoolers in a row get voted out, the old schoolers that remain in the game are showing why they’re legends. How, for example, is it that both Parvati and Boston Rob can survive votes? They are two of the most dangerous and legendary players the game has ever seen, and they’re not out yet? As much as these newer winners want to take their place in the upper echelon of Survivor “legends,” thus far they don’t seem to be as confident up against their in-game Idols. Ben, for the second-straight week, had his tongue tied-up and handed back to him by Boston Rob who was able to talk circles around him. Adam really didn’t like Rob’s antics at Tribal, but he went along with it anyways and barely was able to speak up against the “empty your bags” gimmick that Rob was insisting upon.

Knowing that Danni was on the outside, I see Michele‘s logic (remember her?) when she chatted with Jeremy, saying that maybe the Danni vote-out was the right thing to do first. Even Jeremy told us in a confessional that he wants to control this game. But how does voting out Danni do anything but put all the new schoolers in even more danger, by keeping players like Rob or Parvati in the game for three more days? A disenfranchised Danni might have been someone that could have been brought in, and we all know she’s a loyal player from her own winning season. If “Winners at War” is a prize fight between the best the sport has to offer, then this week was a series of timid jabs, a sparring session, with each heavyweight playing a bit too cautious and too safe. In other words, the players right now seem to be looking for ways to not get knocked out, instead of looking to land that knock-out punch of their own.

Keeping Boston Rob around is even more crazy and dubious, if you are Jeremy. Just like Sandra last week, once Jeremy is bequeathed the Fire Token and sees how powerful they are and that they can be bartered for powerful advantages, he figures that this offer of trade must be coming from the Edge of Extinction. Thinking this through, wouldn’t he then realize that Rob has a powerful ally – his wife! – on the Edge and that this makes Rob even that much more dangerous to leave in the game? It’s mind-boggling to me how good the Rob-father is at this game, and he’s such a force at this point in Survivor history that he looms over everything. This dude has his wife potentially feeding him advantages from the Edge, he single-handedly lost his tribe the Immunity Challenge, and HE’S FRICKIN’ BOSTON ROB, and still these other FORMER WINNERS are afraid to take a shot at him? That’s some next-level power right there. Rob, as he mentioned, definitely didn’t have the best day – and don’t think he’s not going to exact revenge for whomever he believes voted out Amber – but he’s not going anywhere anytime soon based on the hold he has over the others at this point in the game.

This week was notable too because it cued the viewers in that not every single game advantage is going to come from the Edge. This week saw two two-part Idols being found, one by Denise (who gave the other half to Adam) and one by Kim (who inexplicably gave her other half to Sophie). Sophie is low-key amazing so far and feels like a real surprise…of all of the new schoolers, she seems and feels the most comfortable out there. We didn’t get too much in the way of strategy from the Red Tribe this week, but thank God for Tony though right? His makeshift ladder was a highlight of the hour, as was all of the surrounding commentary as Tony put his life on the line for…a piece of fruit?

The little bit of strategy that did come from the Red Tribe might be super-important moving forward however, and that’s the emergence of the “Cops-R-Us” alliance between Tony and Sarah. It sounds like from both of their confessional interviews, that they plan to honor their alliance this time around, and I don’t think it makes the episode if it wasn’t important. I guess the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t.

Circling back to Jeremy, he went from potentially the first one voted-out of the game to being in a super-unique position. One phrase that didn’t get any play this week was “the poker alliance” and Jeremy is in that exclusive clique. So while he is decidedly in the new school alliance, he still has some old school ties, which gives him several options moving forward. His new power – bequeathed (I just like typing that word) from Natalie – just makes him that more dangerous.

Episode Take-Away: How can you not love this season? What a rush it still is to watch all of these winners play the game together. This is the last week I’ll allow myself to be sad that Richard Hatch and John Cochran were not a part of this season…could you imagine if they were out there too? But alas, I’m over it.

I felt like Danni was in trouble right from the start when she threw out Boston Rob‘s name and maybe came out a bit too hard out of the gates. The idea that she gave her Fire Token to Denise is interesting to say the least, being that Denise helped vote her out. I like where the game is going, but I was honestly hoping for something a bit more complex and challenging than simply “old school” versus “new school.” I think this is just the players finding their comfort level in the game thus far, and I’m definitely betting that this divide will hopefully blur as the game speeds along.

Lastly, a request: More Yul next week please? Thank you!

FIRE TOKEN/ADVANTAGE TALLY

Boston Rob: 2 FT (Fire Tokens)

Denise: 2 FT

Jeremy: 1 FT, 1 “leave Tribal before it begins” advantage

Everybody else: 1 FT

Sandra: 0 FT, 1 Immunity Idol (expires after 2 more Tribal Councils)

Amber: 0 FT

Danni: 0 FT

Voted Out This Week: Danni

Won Immunity Challenge: Red Tribe

Vote #1: No advantages or Idols played. 8 – Danni (Adam, Denise, Jeremy, Ethan, Parvati, Ben, Danni, Rob), 1 – Parvati (Danni)

Next Week’s Episode: Adam and Denise look like they might have gotten the courage to make a big move…is it too little too late? Sandra‘s name is allegedly thrown out there by Tyson, and it doesn’t go over too well with the Queen. And then…Tony! Catches a shark with his bare hands? Of course he did.

Quick Note! I appreciate that you are reading this recap! Those that have followed me also know that I am also a RottenTomatoes-approved film critic, and I encourage you to check out my weekly movie reviews as I am the film critic and Executive Producer of the TV show, “Movie Show Plus,” the #1-rated local program in the Detroit-market (episodes are also available online at the website, www.MovieShowPlus.com.) As always, the easiest way to get all of my Survivor coverage and movie reviews is to follow me on Twitter – @tomsantilli – or on Facebook.

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THIS EPISODE? IS IT A MISTAKE TO ALLOW BOSTON ROB AND PARVATI TO REMAIN IN THIS GAME? AND WHO ARE YOU ROOTING FOR TO WIN?

Married At First Sight Recap- Home Is Where Your Spouse Is

On last night’s episode of Married At First Sight ,  there are only six weeks until decision day. Four pairs of newlyweds settle into married life in their new homes. Another couple struggles just to find common ground.  Some friends are thrilled to hear how well married life is going, while others refuse to keep quiet about their concerns.

This episode was interesting to say the least. Although many of the couples seem to be getting along, they have some surprising concerns. I think this is probably the realest the couples have been since the beginning of the season. Let’s get straight into the recap!

Brandon & Taylor

 

Taylor Dunklin meets with friends to give them an update on her marriage with her husband, Brandon Reid. Her friends are concerned when they hear about his split personalities. Taylor still attempts to highlight Brandon’s positive qualities, despite all of his disrespectful antics. For some reason, her friends applaud Taylor for staying the course. Umm… if my friend told me a man she barely knows did the things Brandon has done, I wouldn’t be advising her to stick it out.

Although Brandon and Taylor are trying to get past their issues, they are currently staying in separate bedrooms. Well at least Taylor didn’t completely let him off the hook. A person who has very explosive episodes out of nowhere would make me extremely uncomfortable. If you are unable to control your emotions and behavior, especially as a man, I would be out the door before it escalates further in the future.

Brandon and Taylor have a housewarming/birthday party for her aunt. Taylor pleads with her friends not to be too hard on baby Brandon.  Even her dog doesn’t respect him.  He literally tries to hump Brandon’s leg the entire party. Brandon decides to address the reason he is staying in the spare bedroom. Uh oh… this is about to get good. Things go from lighthearted fun to all of Taylor’s friends checking him on his treatment of her. At one point he even tries to lie and say there was only one day that he lost his temper. His aunt has to come to his rescue when she sees her nephew looking like a scared child being scolded. After the party, Taylor wants to discuss their issues and her hopes for a better future. I can see Brandon’s evil twin just itching to come out, but he manages to keep him at bay.

 

Austin & Jessica

 

Austin Hurd is working hard to show his wife, Jessica Studer that he appreciates her. When she arrives home from work, she finds a home cooked meal and all of the chores done. Austin is so sweet. I know he really had to have made an effort now that mommy isn’t there to do everything for him. Jessica, you may have found a winner. Who doesn’t love coming home after work and being able to relax rather than do a second shift of household duties? My only concern is that Austin is trying so hard to be a good husband, that he may not be revealing his authentic self. I really don’t know anything about his personality at this point, beyond that he is quirky.

Austin and Jessica are excited to meet each other’s friends at their housewarming party. After Jessica beats everyone in beer pong, the girls break off from the men for each group to talk. Jessica does mention their wage gap again. Could she be a bit more bothered about the situation than she leads us to believe? I guess that may be another reason Austin is going out of his way to do his part.

 

Derek & Katie

 

Katie Conrad meets with her mother to discuss the state of her marriage with Derek Sherman. Katie is disgusted by the fact that her husband constantly tells her about his potty time. I literally almost spit out my water laughing. Eww… can we at least work up to that level of comfort? The way she described him “going out of his way” to give this information is hilarious. She is also upset that Derek has admitted he may not fall in love with her by the end of 8 weeks. According to Katie, she gave up her “ex” who did love her, for someone who may not ever feel that way. Chile, please! I don’t think her ex-boyfriend loved her either. He only told her that because selfishly he didn’t want her to marry a stranger.

Derek gets advice from his father about his marriage. Although he likes Katie and has many things in common with her, he feels their relationship is only surface level. His dad advises him it may not be the best idea to tell his wife he is worried he may not fall in love with her. Unfortunately Derek feels differently, he would rather set realistic expectations. I guess I can see both sides. On one hand, who wants to hear that, on the other at least he is being honest. That is not to say he will never longer it just may have to happen organically in time.

During their party, Katie pulls her girls aside to complain about Derek. She is concerned that he isn’t in love with her and has no game in the bedroom. Apparently, Katie is tired of initiating sexy time. With so many complaints, it’s a wonder why she is so desperate for her husband to say I love you.

 

Meka & Michael

All of the wives get together at the park. Meka Jones is happy to report that she and Michael Watson are now sleeping in the same bed and on better terms. She actually attributes them living together as why they were able to get past their issues. I guess having to see someone everyday will make you feel obligated to at least be cordial.

Meka and Michael prepare for their housewarming party with friends and family. She challenges Michael again about why he isn’t wearing his ring. He explains at the time he felt like their marriage was failing. But she is worried he will think it’s normal to go ringless every time they aren’t on good terms.  They both jointly decide to put back on their rings and move forward.

At the party everyone seems to be meshing well and having a good time. While playing a game to get to know the newlyweds, the first question is how many days a week does Michael work out. The options were 5, 6 or 7 days a week. I thought I was the only one confused until one of Meka’s friends said he didn’t think any of those numbers applied. LMAO!!!  I was scared I needed my eyes checked. I guess I’m not the only one not seeing the fruit of his labor. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying the guy looks bad, but he definitely doesn’t look like he works out 5 days a week. Michael speaks with Meka’s mom privately to get some advice. His mother-in-law tells him to take things a day at a time and stop pressuring himself.

Mindy & Zach

 

Mindy Shiben admits to the other wives that she has moved into the new apartment without her husband, Zach Justice.  Meanwhile, he tries to convince the husbands that it makes sense for him not to live with his wife. Umm… why is this hair harlot still on the show? I am so sick of Zach and his selfish, noncommittal behavior.  I feel so sorry for Mindy. I know she has to be embarrassed when she sees everyone else’s progress in their marriage.

Mindy meets Zach at the dog park to spend some time together. Watching them interact so awkwardly is difficult to watch. It’s obvious Zach is only going through the motions and doesn’t care about his wife’s feelings. To add insult to injury he tells her he values her friendship, which infuriates her because they are technically married. Zach then shows her he is now wearing his wedding ring and claims he wants to be married. Ummm…. No sir, you don’t. You are refusing to live with your WIFE because you claim to need space and keep telling her you aren’t attracted to her. I don’t think that is what a healthy marriage where two people are committed looks like. Is Zach related to one of the producers? Why the hell are they allowing him to decide what aspects of the experiment he feels like completing?

Since Zach refuses to enter his own marital home, he decides to meet with Mindy and his friends at a local bar. One of Mindy’s friends asks him the hard hitting questions that Mindy should be calling him out on. He looks at his wife for help to get him out of lying answering about his intentions. Let’s be real, he hasn’t even set foot in the apartment to even visit Mindy. This guy is such a waste of time and video it is laughable.

Mindy has friends over for drinks and they warn her not to trust her husband. Like the viewers, they can see past Zach’s smile and talking in circles to hear the complete BS mixed within.  Then guess who shows up, Zach! Mindy has to beg her friends to stop grilling her husband on why he hasn’t moved in when he lives less than 10 minutes away.  There is no point in pressuring a guy who is totally uninterested in a woman to act as if he is. I just wish Mindy was less enthusiastic about the bare minimum she is getting from Zach.

Real Housewives Of New Jersey Recap: Secrets Revealed

The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Jersey Shore trip is heating up! On last week’s episode    , we ended with a confrontation kicking off between Margaret Josephs and Jennifer Aydin. It seems like everyone is always vying for Teresa Giudice’s approval, and that’s why they fight. Everyone always wants to be in her good graces, so they all go to war for it. On top of that, arguing over someone’s parenting is just a no go. Big faux pas.

A big moment coming in this episode is Melissa Gorga’s sit down with Danielle Staub. Danielle is forever a source of controversy, and the women have had enough. None of the wives want anything to do with her. Melissa is supposed to be the one to deliver that message. Good luck! I would assume that Danielle isn’t going down without one last scandal. It’s time for the end of her and Teresa. GIVE IT TO US.

Jackie Goldschneider’s husband Evan Goldschneider is finally on the trip, so now everyone has someone except Teresa. We need to find Teresa a new man! Maybe she’ll find that nice Jewish boy she wants, and we can meet him next season. Toodles Joe Giudice! Enjoy Italy!

There Jersey boardwalk looks like such a chill place to hangout. I’ve always wanted to go, but the opportunity hasn’t ever come up. If I’m not getting arrested for day drinking like a drunk meatball, it won’t be worth it.

Everyone is so pushy about Dolores Catania’s love life. Her and Frank Catania have a good thing going right now as friends, so why ruin that. Joe Gorga should maybe butt out of it, and worry about his own life and troubles.

The group splits up, and now the real fun can begin. Joe and Melissa go for a walk along the beach where she partied four noses ago. Romantic! They talk about Teresa missing out on the kind of love they have. I don’t know about THAT.

Teresa is missing love sure, but the Melissa/Joe love isn’t the gold standard. Joe tries to convince Melissa to just enjoy life and table their “new baby” talk. I wonder how much of this has to do with a bruised ego from that low sperm count.

Jennifer and Teresa aren’t impressed with Margaret making a dig about Jen not having a job. It was a rude jab, but Jennifer was minimizing a bonding moment between Marge and Teresa. What was the point of that? Although, Jennifer is the best thing going for the season right now. She keeps things fresh.

Dolores doesn’t understand why Margaret is so hellbent on destroying Jennifer. She gives her a pass on everything she says for some reason. Why? She says it’s because Jennifer doesn’t seem to come from a malicious place. However, how often can you use ignorance as an excuse for her? Cut it out Dolo!

Jennifer’s doing shots before dinner, so someone is going to be on the receiving end of a verbal attack. WHO LET’S HER DO THIS? The end result is the same every single time. Chaos.

Melissa is walking right into the lion’s den by sitting down with Danielle. She’s unpredictable at best and unhinged at worst. Melissa is not the type to handle the kind of attack she might receive. Putting herself on display for Danielle to destroy is a bold choice.

Melissa going there solely to tell Danielle they’re all done with her is a little iconic though. Danielle has brought so much to this show, so it’s cool she’s getting this kind of sendoff. Not everyone gets that MOMENT.

Jackie is a beer chugging monster oh my god. I didn’t think she’d beat all of the guys in the contest, but she wiped the floor with them. It’s about damn time we drag some personality out of her. Sometimes she’s such a snooze to watch. Give us more of THIS version of Jackie.

Jennifer (of course) ruins the moment by saying “you know how to suck a bottle, but you can’t suck a dick?” WHO SAYS THAT? I mean, it was hilarious, but she opened herself up to a fight.

Margaret chimes in to come at Jennifer about the comments and about ruining her moment with Teresa. Is it really that deep honey? I mean seriously. Not everything is a calculated attack. It was rude, but we can move on. Even Teresa is perplexed as to why this is an actual fight they’re having.

Jennifer is right to claim being a stay at home mother as her profession. That’s a hard ass job, and not many people can do it. Period. Margaret is barking up the wrong tree making an issue out of that. That’s not a good look whatsoever.

Melissa thinks Jennifer is going into dangerous territory by bringing up parenting, but Marge did it first. She opened the door big time for that one. Jennifer goes low by bringing up Margaret’s situation with her kids, but Marge still takes it to the next level. As usual.

She says the only accomplishment Jennifer’s ever had was marrying someone rich. Now that’s just tasteless to say. Anyone that sees Jennifer with her children can attest otherwise. Jennifer hits Marge with the iconic line that “Fred Flintstone called, he wants his outfit back”.

I AM DYING. FULLY DECEASED AND DECOMPOSING. How can you not laugh at that? Her ensemble really did look like something out of Bedrock.

The guys are going fishing which is really a disguise for a drinking trip. They’re getting Bill Aydin so smashed. Jennifer isn’t going to be impressed with that at all. How many fish do we actually expect these guys to catch out here? It’s good to see Bill actually having fun for a change. He’s usually so serious every time they show him.

I can’t picture Jennifer, Dolores, and Teresa parasailing. This is the pinnacle of hilarity for me. I love seeing Housewives get totally taken out of their element. It adds something fresh to the show for me. Plus, Jennifer’s weird burping reaction was GOLD on it’s own. She’s just bobbing around on the boat burping up a storm.

While those women are thrill seeking, the other three are living it up grandma style. A game of mini golf is definitely a lot more exciting. I came into this season loving these three the most, but now they just bore me. Next.

Melissa has no desire to attend this meeting with Danielle, but they must formally kick her out of the group. WEIRD. Danielle is smart though. Say what you want about them, but Melissa and Teresa run this show. If she can get in the good graces of both, she can keep her spot. Making nicey nice with Melissa is her only shot at staying.

The ladies reunite, and Jennifer debuts her “sorry not sorry” T-shirt which doesn’t go over like she expected.  It was cheesy, but still funny ish. Not everyone gets Jennifer, but she at least tries to be funny.

Jennifer is a little miffed about Bill getting wasted with the guys. It’s good to see him having fun though. She’s never seen him this drunk, but we cant say that same about her. The Tequila monster comes out quite too often.

Melissa’s meeting with Danielle is going to be SO GOOD. I’ve been dying to see how Teresa and Danielle’s friendship ended, and we are sooo close. The fallout is sure to be EPIC. Danielle should be nervous because this is the end.

Melissa attempts to explain to Danielle where she went wrong with Margaret. Good luck with that. She drops the bomb that none of the girls want to be around her. There’s no way Teresa is going to like Melissa saying she’s not in her right mind right now. OOF.

DANIELLE SAYS TERESA TOLD HER TO PULL MARGARET’S HAIR. THIS IS A MASSIVE BOMBSHELL. NEXT WEEK LOOKS SO GOOD. I CANNOT CONTAIN MYSELF. THAT HOT MIC MOMENT DEFINITELY LOOKED INCRIMINATING.

TELL US – DO YOU BELIEVE TERESA ENCOURAGED DANIELLE TO PULL MARGARET’S HAIR? ARE THE WOMEN RIGHT TO THROW DANIELLE OUT OF THE GROUP? ARE YOU EXCITED FOR THE SEASON FINALE OF THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY?
