Cory Wharton is in it to win it--when the time is right. On May 11, The Challenge: All Stars will kick off a brand-new season on Paramount+ with a cast full of veterans including Derrick...Love her or hate her, Teresa Giudice is a housewives icon at this point. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star was introduced to us back in 2009, on the very first season of the show. Over the years, she’s given us an insane amount of memorable moments and memeable phrases. One of her high points was giving birth to her youngest daughter on season 2. And one of the lowest was when her husband at the time, Joe Giudice, and her brother, Joe Gorga, physically fought each other in front of cameras during a cast trip. It was all part of the never-ending feud between them, where Teresa still to this day blames SIL Melissa Gorga for going behind her back and joining the show.
Let us not forget one of the most important parts of Teresa’s history on the show – RHONJ paused filming while she was in jail for a year. Teresa had pled guilty to wire and bankruptcy fraud charges, another dramatic storyline on the show. But Tre bounced back. She worked her way through paying off restitution. And eventually dropped the dead weight of her marriage. So yeah, Teresa has been one of the most talked about housewives for over a decade. But what would happen if her 13+ year run on the show ended?
As reported by Heavy, castmate Margaret Josephs appeared on the podcast Behind the Velvet Rope and said the show could go on without her. Thanks to a particularly rough season of nonstop fighting with her castmates over her relationship with Luis “Louie” Ruelas, Teresa went off the deep end. On the cast trip to Nashville, she lost it with Margaret and threw tableware and drinks on her during a fight. Marge later revealed that Teresa and Louie were asked to leave the house they were all staying at. Tre had already been on thin ice for years with a lot of fans and this was a nail in the coffin for some. So has her bad behavior finally gone too far?
Marge stated of a possible RHONJ without Teresa, “I think we’d be fine.” She added, “I mean, I think because it’s an ensemble, I think we, you know, we’d get more women and I think everything evolves. I mean, [Real Housewives of] Atlanta has carried on. Other shows, have lost the people they’ve started with. And I think, you know, New Jersey, the Garden State is not gonna fall down. The Garden State won’t fall down.”
As for the rumors that Teresa and Louie, who are engaged to be married, will get their own spinoff, Marge weighed in on that too. Said Marge, “I’m sure she would love a spinoff. I don’t think it’s happening. I don’t. I just don’t see it happening. I just feel like she’s good in an ensemble. She needs other people to play off on. I think she’s tired. Of course. She’s tired. She’s done this for a long time. I think this season drained her.”
Margaret admitted that she doesn’t know if Teresa is ready to leave the show or not. But she did note that Teresa has “healing to do with a lot of people” after this season. Which doesn’t seem like it will happen anytime soon if you watched the first part of the reunion. Either way, if Tre continues down this road, she might find herself isolated from the rest of the cast. Which is trouble for any housewife. Even an icon.
TELL US – DO YOU AGREE WITH MARGE THAT RHONJ WOULD BE FINE WITHOUT TERESA? WOULD YOU CONTINUE WATCHING IF TRE DIDN’T COME BACK? DO YOU THINK TERESA WILL GET A SPINOFF WITH LOUIE?

Hey now, you're on The Challenge: All Stars, get your game on, go play. Season three of the MTV franchise's nostalgic spinoff has finally premiered on Paramount+, once again...Howdy Good Vibe Tribe! I want to start out this recap by apologizing for being M.I.A. for last week’s season finale. I happened to be moving cross-country back to New York City to start test filming for Season 7 of Summer House. Jk. I wish. But I really was coming back to the city after two years and a pandemic spent in the West and time simply got away from me through two redeyes, a middle-of-the-night layover in Chicago, one lost suitcase and a flooded bathroom in my new apartment once I arrived.
The good news, however, is that nothing really happened in the finale. The summer ended. The roommates said goodbye to the Hamptons. Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula finally started planning their wedding in earnest with just weeks to spare. (Don’t worry, they found a last-minute florist.) Kyle and Amanda both got COVID. Had to quarantine and cry into their iPhone cameras. Kyle and Amanda recovered. Kyle and Amanda got married. With thankfully very little drama. After the “I do’s,” Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke finally admitted they were starting to develop feelings for each other. And there you pretty much have it.
The Season 6 reunion, on the other hand, is fraught with drama, conflict, resentments, questionable fashion choices and awkward seating arrangements. Basically everything you could possibly want from a reunion. The Summer House crew must be so difficult for Andy Cohen to wrangle when reunion time comes around. Because there are just so many of them. It’s almost a small miracle they found two couches long enough to fit all eleven (11!) roommates. And yes, before you ask, they even let Alex Wach attend, sticking on the end of the couch in the exact same suit jacket Carl is wearing. More inexplicably, Paige DeSorbo is seated in the hot seat next to Andy. Directly next to Lindsay. With…pretty much all of her friends and allies on the opposite couch. It doesn’t make much sense, but what it does make for is some grade-A passive-aggressive tension.
But before we dive into that, let’s start with a hot topic that had everyone talking all season long. Of course, that brings us to:
Reflections on a Hot Hubb Summer
The season started with Lindsay revealing she’d suffered a miscarriage after getting pregnant with her Winter House cast mate Jason Cameron‘s baby. And for the rest of the summer, we watched her make spontaneous decision after spontaneous decision and play the field to her heart’s content. There was the guy she almost went to Mexico with. The guy she brought home after staking claim on Austen Kroll. Oliver’s friend Ahmed. The list goes on, and that’s not even mentioning Austen or the fact that she ended the summer with Carl. All of which is well and good. You do you, girl. What the other roommates try to unsuccessfully get through to her on the couches is that some of those decisions came with strings attached and hurt people’s feelings in the process. Amanda points out that even Carl expressed concern for his bestie-turned-girlfriend during the group’s wine tasting outing.
Paige‘s use of the word “brothel” to describe Lindsay‘s series of trysts this summer gets brought up as a point of contention. But she insists it was in reference to how Lindsay completely disregarded Ciara Miller‘s feelings for Austen and getting all territorial over him, only to bring home another guy that very same night. So did she really have feelings for Austen like she claimed? Or was she just using him to get some sort of twisted payback on Ciara? But when Carl jumps into the conversation, he accuses Paige of “playing two games” and never putting her relationships on camera. Which…simply isn’t true. It wasn’t her fault Perry Rahbar didn’t want anything to do with filming. She shoots back asking what Carl did this summer. And honestly, I really hate seeing any hostility between these two because I’ve always loved the special bond they have.
The New and Improved Carl 6.0
Andy presses pause on the drama to turn the focus more fully onto Carl. What did he do this summer? Maintain his sobriety, that’s what. And we are all so incredibly proud of him for that. In fact, he tells Andy he’s now nearly 15 months sober. God, I adore Carl. Just maybe not quite as much when he’s dating Lindsay. Carl throws out at Paige that staying sober was his focus this season. And Paige is mortified that her ex-summer lover would ever think she would attack his sobriety.
But at this point, Andy can’t ignore the awkward vibes permeating between Paige and Lindsay any longer. Paige is basically physically recoiled away from Hurricane Hubbard and refuses to even make eye contact with her. She points out that the divide lays between some of the first-generation cast — namely Lindsay and Danielle Olivera — and the younger girls. (Note that across the couch, Mya Allen is nodding her head in agreement.) However, that hardly explains what’s happened between the end of summer and now…
More fun to address is Ciara‘s speculation this season about how big Carl‘s, ahem, package is. (Apparently it’s huge.) However, she explains that the pair never hooked up because she didn’t know how to navigate his sobriety while she continued imbibing. Less fun is hearing Carl tell Lindsay during the break that he wants to eat her legs like two pieces of corn of the cob. And now I can’t get the image of Lindsay gnawing on an invisible piece of corn out of my head, so thanks for that.
Let’s Act Like Adults
Whether it was Mya bouncing back from her broken five-year engagement or Danielle getting more serious with Robert Sieber, plenty of the housemates grew this season. Yes, Mya is still involved with Oliver. On a strictly friends with benefits level, though he did accompany her to Watch What Happens Live during the season. Also, she apparently has a 10,000-person waitlist for her fledgling cookie business?!? Meanwhile, Danielle and Robert didn’t move to Charleston. Instead, he took a different chef job in Aspen, which conveniently keeps the door open for Danielle to stay in the Hamptons for Season 7…
However, Ciara has to answer for why she was so certain Danielle and Robert wouldn’t get engaged during her own appearance on WWHL this season. And she reveals that, apparently, the most stable couple in the house broke up “multiple times” over the course of the summer. Danielle vehemently denies this, but even Mya pipes up to back Ciara’s story that Robert was actually prepared to leave the house in the middle of a weekend. Danielle chalks any drama up to drunken arguing. However, it leads to a back-and-forth about the fraught state of Danielle and Ciara’s friendship. But there’s way more to discuss about that in a bit.
Then there’s Andrea Denver, who’s stayed quiet this entire reunion. But now he opens up about how he won his current girlfriend, Lexi, back after pining (and crying) over her all season. She even came to the reunion to support him. And yes, in case you’re wondering, Andrea is constantly surrounded by women when he’s out in New York. He’ll even say so!
Quarterlife Crisis (Sponsored by Honda Civic)
There’s no denying Ciara had a bit of a rough season. But while she floundered in her professional life, most of her issues centered around Austen. The majority of the cast openly vote that Ciara was being hypocritical when she told the Charleston Charm-er he couldn’t sleep in Lindsay‘s bed. But Ciara thinks that expectation was reasonable considering where they left things off at the end of Winter House. And I can’t say I disagree. Yes, Austen’s clearly the most to blame. But I can’t wrap my head around Lindsay refusing to think she’s not accountable for any part of what happened when he came to the house. It’s just…delusional. The entire explanation she offers is also pure revisionist history. And further, I don’t understand how so many fans are siding with her, either, when she has to literally be coached through a simple apology for hurting Ciara’s feelings.
Kyle actually plays the voice of reason for a moment, pointing out that Ciara made her feelings very clear when Austen failed to show up for the weekend with Craig Conover. You’d think Lindsay would’ve known then that feelings were still involved between the two, no matter what line Austen was feeding her behind the scenes. But it was easier for her to sweep aside any consideration of Ciara in order to get what she wanted in the moment. Which was Austen’s attention and validation. (Side note: why Andy didn’t dissect Paige‘s bombshell that Carl called Austen and told him not to come to the house, I’ll never understand. Anyone with me?)
At least we can all agree that Austen‘s not worth fighting over. And hopefully all the females on Summer House, the Bravoverse and beyond can see that now. He also was apparently vile to Mya off camera, which gets him even more on my bad side. Don’t pick our sweet new girl! Lindsay argues that Austen was the one who pursued her — with Carl defending her — but I simply can’t talk about this anymore. Everything Ciara‘s saying on the couch is making sense. And that’s that. It shouldn’t take Danielle giving Lindsay a reality check. It wasn’t “subconscious” like she claims. She quite literally confessed her love to Austen just months prior in Vermont. Sorry, Lindsay knew exactly what she was doing.
Italian Fight Night
Finally, it’s time to talk about the chaos that was Andrea‘s Italian dinner. While the model missed the explosive fight, the fallout is still very real among his roommates. Most of that is between Danielle and Ciara given the thrown wine glass of it all. Though Paige also gets called out by Luke Gulbranson for getting her bestie riled up. And the fashionista unabashedly shoots back that she would do it all again if it meant Ciara had the opportunity to stand up for herself. However, all these months later, Danielle is still carrying a lot of anger towards Ciara over getting a wine glass to the chest. And Part 1 of the reunion ends with her in tears as she confesses she feels actual “hatred” for her roommate fueled by how the fight played out on air…

It's time to put a few Hamptons housemates in the hot seat. Part one of the Summer House season six reunion aired May 9, and it's safe to say that watching the cast rehash this...Swindling under the Spanish sun! Allegedly, of course. The Tinder Swindler was made famous by Netflix’s documentary about his alleged conning on multiple women on the popular dating site. Simon Leviev (born: Shimon Hayut), told women that he was the heir to a diamond fortune but ultimately had them sending him their cash. It’s estimated that he has scammed his dates out of a staggering $10 million. He did spend two years in a Finnish prison after being found guilty of defrauding 3 women but has yet to be charged with anything related to the claims in the recent documentary.
While his profile is now elevated, that clearly hasn’t slowed him down. As reported by Daily Mail, Simon was recently busted in the south of Spain for using a fake ID. After getting his Maserati stuck on a beach, he told local officers that he was on vacation and used an alternate name. Simon was with an unidentified Russian blonde, who was sporting a pricey Hermes bag.
Simon was asked for ID and produced a drivers license with the name Michael Bilton. Cops suspected that his license was a fake but no arrests were made at the time. Officials originally asked that the court look into “Michael” for alleged forgery and the traffic offense he committed when driving his sports car into the sand. The summons went unanswered but is now being reopened once Simon’s real identity was discovered.
A court official stated, “An arrest warrant is out for the person placed under investigation. That’s all the information I can provide at this stage.” It’s unclear if the warrant could lead to Simon’s arrest in his homeland of Israel and eventual extradition. Simon was also busted for using a fake passport in 2019 in Greece. He was extradited to Israel on charges of fraud, theft and forgery. He spent 5 months in prison and was released on good behavior.
Despite Simon’s carefree cruising, he’s facing a hefty lawsuit against him from the Leviev diamond family that he’s been impersonating. Which might be the reason he’s busy selling Cameos for up to $1,600 per video. Simon also got himself a Hollywood agent, hoping to cash in on his newfound infamy. He’s reportedly trying to land a podcast and even a dating show.
So far, nothing has panned out. Simon is currently banned from the dating apps Tinder and Hinge and it looks like the Instagram account he was running as recently as February has been deleted. At the time, he had over 1.4 million followers.

Everyone knew the fate of Chrishell Stause and Jason Oppenheim’s relationship going in to Season 5 of Selling Sunset. To be fair, I think we all knew how that one was going to end, even without the endless spoilers. Either way, fans who binged the most recent season on Netflix have officially watched the rise and fall of this confusing love affair.
Just before the 2021 holiday season Chrishell and Jason both took to Instagram to announce their split. Despite claiming to have been “best friends” prior to their romantic relationship, this couple split over their discovered differences on wanting children. At the time Chrishell wrote, “Jason was and is my best friend, and other than our ideas for family ultimately not being aligned, the amount of respect and love we have for each other will not change going forward.”
Chrishell added, “Although my initial reaction to a private situation was to not speak on it, sometimes it’s easier to just live transparently because we only get one chance at this life.” In the end, most of this story was shared during Season 5 of Selling Sunset. Fans weren’t shown the break up conversation between Jason and Chrishell. Instead, we saw Chrishell pouring her heart out to a less-than comforting Emma Hernan.
In an interview with Us Weekly, Jason explained why the split wasn’t caught on camera. He said, “It was an extremely difficult time and it was, I think, a conscious decision that we were not filmed together.” He added, “I wasn’t comfortable. I mean, it was a very difficult time.”
“I’m still working through everything, you know, the emotions and the feelings even months later. I think it’s gonna be a longer process than I anticipated. … I’m doing my best, but it is a bit raw still. And I think rewatching that last episode has, you know, made things even more difficult.”
During the Season 5 reunion taping Jason was seated all the way across the room from Chrishell. At one point Chrishell revealed that she has a new love interest from Australia. Jason and Brett Oppenheim shared inaudible whispers when Chrishell announced the the news of her new parter.
There is little to no gossip about what Season 6 of Selling Sunset will feature. Maybe Chrishell will finally find her person to start a family with?

Sanya Richards-Ross is already so much fun! I get excited the second I see her on the screen. Real Housewives of Atlanta has had some major casting missteps in recent years, but this is a solid choice. This is the best cast since the Season 5-6 era.
Sanya has quite the full house right now. For the next year, there are like nine people living in her room. Personally, I couldn’t do it, but to each their own. Live your best life. I’d be going crazy with that many people in my personal space.
It’s a big adjustment for everyone, and her mom in particular is being tough about it. She’s jumping down everyone’s throats, and it’s overwhelming. Having family in such close proximity is a recipe for heightened tensions.
Sheree Whitfield is hosting Kenya Moore at her home. What a long way these two have come. In the past, they used to drag each other’s living arrangements. The Chateau is looking snatched though.
Sheree says she almost loves Kenya at this point. However, Kenya’s turned off by Marlo Hampton’s pretentious nature. They’re even bringing up the white fridge situation from years ago.
Kenya and Marlo randomly made up last year, and it sounds like this fake friendship is already on the skids. They claim to have love for one another, but they have a bizarre way of showing it.
Kenya tells Sheree that Drew Sidora’s been talking about them having the same assistant. Drew’s so damn messy. She’s already going around talking about Sheree’s financial situation and allegedly not paying an assistant in the past. These two aren’t starting off on the right foot.
Drew and Ralph Pittman’s marriage makes me so uncomfortable to watch. They’re never happy. There’s always some sort of issue lingering between them. He does far too much shady shit and always makes her look stupid.
There’s no excuse for Ralph letting women talk to him about giving him a massage. He’s gaslighting the hell out of her. Every time one of these issues comes up, he makes her question her own sanity. It’s toxic.
Kandi Burruss gets a call from her Broadway producer talking about how packed their show was. Kandi is always the best at securing the bag. Broadway producer is quite the title. Nobody knows how to capitalize on their success the way Kandi does.
Kandi’s personal story every season is about her work/family balance. She talks about Todd Tucker disrupting the flow when he leaves, but she leaves for MONTHS. I wish she would give us more about her personal life. Not knowing how to balance the empire with her family get old after being her topic for many years. It’s time to move on.
Kandi tells Marlo she loves the way she put everything together. See, there are some compliments. Kandi and Marlo have had negative history from the first time they met, so I expect it to happen again.
Marlo feels stressed taking care of her nephews because she created a monster. They’re accustomed to the finer things in life since living with Marlo. Kandi doesn’t think that’s a bad thing though. She believes Black youth can be set up for greatness and also develop a strong work ethic.
Kandi says Marlo was shitty to her when she first joined the group. However, things have gotten to a much better place between the two over the years.
Ralph says his schedule is clear, and he’s scheduling something for the two of them. I guess their issues are on the back burner for a night. I’m sure Drew will find a way to call Ralph out and put him in the hot seat. Rightfully so though. He deserves it for the way he’s constantly embarrassing her on camera.
Seeing Marlo’s home life is so eye-opening, and it creates so much more depth in her. It’s almost surreal getting to get a true glimpse into her life after all of these years. Part of the appeal of Marlo was the mystery, but now the curtain has been pulled. There’s so much more to her than fashion and petty drama.
Ralph is surprising Drew with this big night for the two of them, but something screams like it’s going to be a disaster. An actual complete and utter trainwreck. He’s trying too hard. Ralph’s going out of his way to wine and dine his way out of this.
Drew looks like a whole queen, but she doesn’t understand what this is or why she’s there. He wants to give Drew an environment that lets her know that no other woman can compare to her. He’s doing the most.
Ralph admits he can be an asshole to her, and Drew has a lot to say. She wants to put the bullshit aside and work deep through their problems. She has a voice in this marriage, and she’s ready to speak her truth. Sometimes these wives come onto the show
Ralph says she set up the dinner with no expectations, and at least she feels special. Nothing she can say is being received well by him. He’s not liking her responses to
Out of nowhere, Ralph says he wants to set up a therapy session for Drew to learn how to talk to a man. WOAH. Where did that come from? He really is an expert at gaslighting because that was out of the left field. What in the hell?
Ralph’s even going as far as to try and say the marriage counselor is making stuff up. He’s completely turning this against Drew, and she’s consistently blindsided by him. She’s not allowed to have a voice in this marriage. The moment she tries to express herself, he gets cold and distant and ignores her tears.
Every single time he does this. There’s no time between these two that ends in happiness. From their very first scene on the show until now, it’s been chaos and doom for their marriage. We might be seeing the end of them as a couple.

Last night’s episode of 90 Day Fiancé left me wondering why any of these couples are together. Every couple is already showing some red flags very early on. At this point, I am not sure who the real contenders will be for a long lasting relationship. I hate to say it, but most of these couples seem doomed for different reasons. If it’s not jealously, there are control issues presenting themselves already.
Kobe is overwhelmed with emotions when he meets his son. Biniyam and Ariela have a tense departure from Ethiopia. Jibri and Miona attempt to prepare a meal for his parents. Thais is no fan of Patrick’s brother who he lives with. Let’s get straight to the recap.
After the disastrous party, Biniyam is finally realizing that he may have made a mistake not telling his family of his plans to move to the U.S. But he hopes everyone will be able to bury the hatchet, before their trip. As much as I don’t care for Ariela, I would have launched myself over that table, if a drink was thrown in my face like that. Naturally, after that incident, she has no interest in seeing her sister-in-laws before their departure.
Biniyam meets with his family in an attempt to smooth things over before he leaves Ethiopia. His sister was extremely hurt when Ariela said she didn’t care about them. Of course, that isn’t a reason to throw a drink on someone. But I do understand how that comment combined with the revelation of their brother suddenly leaving could infuriate her. Despite their disappointment, Biniyam’s sisters hope he will have the opportunity to look for his first son.
At the airport, Ariela refuses to get out of the van to say goodbye to Biniyam’s family. I have no issue with her not wanting to talk to them, but she could have let them kiss the baby goodbye. Sadly, I don’t think that much can be done to restore these relationships. I hope that they fair better after the move, but something tells me they will still have the same issues no matter where they go.
Emily and Kobe were able to quickly rekindle their romance after years of not seeing one another. I hope one of her first purchases for him is something other than those tightie whities he was sporting on camera. Later, when Kobe finally meets his son, he can’t help but shed tears of joy. I have to admit, my eyes were watering during that scene. It is evident that he wants nothing more than to make up for lost time with his baby. Kobe seems like a very genuine person, so far. I kind of feel bad that Emily’s dad is just waiting for him to do something wrong. Hopefully, things will work themselves out as everyone finds their rhythm in their new normal.
Patrick, a disgraced professional weight lifter is hoping to trade in the bachelor lifestyle for his fiancé, Thais. They met on a dating app in Brazil and he hasn’t been able to resist her ever since. The only issue right now is that his older brother currently lives with him and she isn’t a fan.
Patrick reveals to his brother that Thais has access to his location and security cameras at all times. After countless arguments, he decided that keeping her abreast of his whereabouts was less trouble. But he believes once she arrives to the states, that there will be no need to do that anymore. Huh! Is he serious? If that woman is that insecure and jealous, she isn’t going to change suddenly. In fact, it will more than likely become worse. Thais will have no friends, family or anything to distract her anymore. She is already telling his brother what he can do in a house he has been living in for years. SMH… I don’t see things going smoothly, once she arrives.
Guillermo is realizing that things are exactly the way he was expecting. He is already realizing that Kara feels like she is in control of their finances. He sold many of his belongings for the trip and when he mentions he wanted to buy a computer, she completely freaks out. I understand they only have $6,000 saved up, but I think they could spare a few hundred for computer. He probably wants a way to communicate with his family and friends without having to ask to use her computer. Sigh! I don’t think they are starting out on the right foot. Kara has to allow him to feel like he has a say in his own life, as well.
Jibri and Miona are trying to adjust to their new lives together. Their first chore is cooking for the family. They choose frozen chicken alfredo as their first meal. Things get tense while cooking, when Jibri mentions his intention of restarting the band with his best friend. Miona doesn’t care for his friendship with him. She makes it clear that she expects to come before, anyone else. Good luck with that. If he intends to make an album, I am sure that involves spending a lot of time together.
Miona and Jibri present their frozen cuisine to his parents. Of course, they think it’s disgusting. Jibri even has the nerve to get mad and scold his parents about being honest about the food in front of Miona. Jibri why are you acting like you didn’t help pick the meal and make it? If your family usually cooks from scratch, you should have known that meal wasn’t going to go over well. But on the other hand, I don’t know why his parents would choose cooking as a chore for two people who they know can’t cook. It seems more like a punishment for themselves than help, to be honest.
Shaeeda finally gets the chance to meets Bilal’s family. Things are going well until the subject of his childhood home and having children come up. She would like to have kids at some point, but Bilal doesn’t think it will fit in to his lifestyle. He even states that Shaeeda lives in a fantasy world, when it comes to her ideas of still having an active life with a baby. Wow! Did he really just say that in front of his family? Insert side eye here. Given the fact that he has two children and she has none, one would think they would have had this conversation, before she moved. If they can’t come to an agreement this could become a deal breaker for one of them.

We know that throwing Jennifer Aydin under the bus by revealing her husband’s 10 year old affair was a risk. It made her look cruel and unfeeling. But Jen isn’t exactly a fan favorite and the two have been going at it forever. So Marge took her chance to get back at Jennifer for all the past slut shaming and point out how Jen’s life isn’t as perfect as she makes it out to be.
But Marge’s biggest gamble was standing up to Teresa Giudice when no one else would. Tre’s new relationship with Luis “Louie” Ruelas was on everyone’s mind. But only Marge was the one willing to tell Teresa that she might want to pump the breaks. Which we all know didn’t work out at all. The Nashville Nightmare may be something these former friends don’t come back from. Especially because Margaret is now claiming that the cast made a pact that nothing physical would go down. And Tre broke it.
As reported by Reality Blurb, Margaret spilled the details on an episode of the podcast Behind The Velvet Rope. Margaret revealed, “Everyone says, Margaret, you poured water, you poured wine [but] we agreed after the ponytail pull as a collective group, that [Teresa] had orchestrated, that we’re not going to behave this way anymore. And that we’re going to use our words. And you know, since that incident, last year, we didn’t have any physical altercations.”
Margaret continued, “It does not validate what [Teresa] did to me. It just doesn’t. I am sorry. It just doesn’t. I mean, if she threw a drink at me, I’d get wet. It wasn’t that. She threw an entire table of food and she cleared the table. Glass could have broken. And what would happen if my face got cut? Anything could have happened.”
But fans, and Marge’s castmates, think Marge is being hypocritical about the physical behavior. Jennifer has openly criticized her about her past and said, “I remember Margaret pouring wine over Danielle [Staub] and pouring water over her and throwing Marty [Caffrey]in the pool. So I think we’ve all been guilty of it.” She added, “I mean, the whole season, Teresa just kept trying to say, ‘I don’t want you to talk about these things.’ And nobody wanted to respect that.”

Raquel Leviss is re-envisioning the direction for her life. After ending her engagement to James Kennedy late last year, it seems that the Vanderpump Rules beauty’s personal life isn’t the only arena that is evolving. Certainly having time and energy to focus on oneself can work wonders for ambitions and dreams.
Indeed, Raquel is a seasoned pageant participant. She’s mentioned her pageant career in prior interviews, but a recent post on social media shared some news about that career. According to a recent Instagram post, Raquel is currently preparing for the Miss California USA competition however, she anticipates that it will be her last performance.
Raquel had just completed a photo shoot for the pageant before posting an image of herself sitting in her car. She labeled the moment,”bittersweet,” People reported.
“I just wrapped my last ever Miss California USA headshot,” Raquel wrote. “It’s so bittersweet knowing this will be the last time I compete in a state pageant. Fingers crossed that it won’t be my last pageant ever and that I will have the opportunity to represent California on the Miss USA stage.”
Raquel reminisced about what she enjoyed the most about competing, and the impact it had on her. She continued, “You may know me as the ‘the pageant girl’ but my one wish is to debunk the stereotype that comes to mind. Through this experience I’ve met some of the most kindhearted girls who truly want to leave a positive impact on our world.”
The famously soft-spoken Sur waitress seemed to find her voice on Vanderpump Rules Season 9. Maybe enough confrontations with Lala Kent will do that to a person, but Raquel also credits participation in pageants. She explained, “the two things I have always strived for, as I completed on and off throughout the years of my young adult life, were self-improvement and building confidence. Looking back at the times I did compete, I truly see such a beautiful transformation and I owe a lot of that to pageantry.”
“Smiling and tearing up,” Raquel concluded. It seems she is having difficulty concluding this chapter of her life. Certainly, pageantry was a very influential part of her life.
Contrast this with her reaction after splitting up with James. Hey, when it’s time to move on, you know. When VPR costar Scheana Shay had Raquel on her “Scheananigans” podcast, she asked her to describe the breakup. Raquel responded, “So I just told him, ‘Truly, my heart isn’t in it anymore. I don’t appreciate the way that you treat other people; it’s not how I treat other people.'”
Here’s to wishing Raquel best of luck at the Miss California USA pageant.

This "supermom" has got some serious skills! American Ninja Warrior competitor Sandy Zimmerman made one mind-blowing run in this exclusive preview from the hit NBC show's...No more Mr. Nice Captain. All season long, Captain Jason Chambers has tried to be more cool older brother than demanding boss. But he’s finally reached his (still rather sedate) boiling point with Chef Ryan McKeown. In truth, it’s surprising that a confrontation has taken this long. What with Ryan’s poor attitude about doing literally anything asked of him by the guests. I mean, this entire argument with the captain started with the chef blatantly refusing to use the squid the guests caught as part of his dinner menu. Like, that’s not that difficult of a request, bro. They’re quite literally handing you the sea creature. Plus, he ends up cooking the squid anyway after the guests ask him point blank about it at the table. It’s just too bad Captain Jason can’t find an immediate replacement given the necessary quarantine period required for new crew.
While Benny Crawley entertains the guests with another round of night fishing, Captain Jason goes straight to Aesha Scott to dish about his clash with Ryan. Which seems like an odd move as the captain of the boat, but OK. He wants the three of them to meet after the charter to squash all the underlying issues. But we can all guess how well that’s going to go…Meanwhile, Chef Ryan goes to bed irritated as ever. And Aesha leaves a mountain of wine glasses in the galley for Magda Ziomek to wash on night shift. Hmm..is she still punishing the third stew? Either way, it’s certainly not helping the growing animosity Magda’s started feeling towards her boss.
It’s only a short, two-day charter for the bachelor party, and the next morning it’s time to head back to dry land. And before she’s even awake, Magda‘s already in trouble. Aesha‘s annoyed to find a solitary glass still in the sink. Stuck in the middle, Tumi Mhlongo posits that the crux of the issue is that Aesha’s “friends first” management style doesn’t exactly do Magda, who needs a firm hand, any favors. And she’s not wrong. The deck crew is also on Jamie Sayed‘s bad side. He’s mad at Benny for leaving the deck a mess overnight despite having to entertain all the guests. And he snaps at Brittini Burton when she asks if they can start switching off going down into the chain locker. Apparently this is the bosun’s version of better leadership.
Things are chilly between Captain Jason and Chef Ryan, too. But there’s no time to address the tension yet, because they have to get breakfast served and the guests back to shore first. As the buck’s party entourage make their way off the boat, Culver Bradbury gets particular compliments for his performance as Keith Stone, Exotic Dancer from the night before. And Captain Jason gets a custom captain’s hat and the envelope full of tip money. Before the tip meeting, he also reaches out to a yacht staffer to get resumes for new chef candidates. Sorry, Ryan, that’s kind of what happens when you blatantly disregard the captain’s feedback to his face.
The tip meeting is the first thing to go well for pretty much the entire episode. Not only were the group of guys relatively easy as guests come, they also left a tip of $17,600. That totals out to $1,460 per person for a little over two days work. And that’s not all! Since they’re officially halfway through the season, Captain Jason gifts the crew with a day off. They’ll be going on a crocodile safari. Which judging by Culver‘s reaction, is apparently his greatest dream in life. Jamie, on the other hand, gets the disco ball helmet of shame for all the little ways his team continues to drop the ball. Though obviously, he thinks either Benny or Brittini should be the one wearing the glittery dunce cap.
Dismissing the rest of the crew, Captain Jason calls a private meeting with Aesha and Ryan. Though the chief stew already knows she’s not the one in trouble. So it all comes across as a bit of a song and dance aimed at singling out the chef. He specifically calls out Ryan’s attitude. And warns that he’s not above making him walk the proverbial plank if things don’t change, and quickly. And would you look at that? Rather than lash back, the conversation actually prompts an apology from Ryan. Ok, sure, he claims it was only out of spite as to not give Aesha the satisfaction of seeing him get fired. But it still happened.
Captain Jason also has another fire to put out. That being Magda‘s constant phone use. We learned last week that she’s running through five gigabytes of data every day. Which I didn’t think was important enough to warrant a mention in my recap. But apparently it’s issue worth having a proper sit-down over. (Is the crew on some sort of temporary family plan? Why isn’t Magda alone responsible for how much data she uses? Also have they heard of unlimited?)
Another successful charter means it’s time for another crew night out. And was I the only one who caught the girls quoting Ja’mie: Private School Girl on the van ride to the restaurant? How very Australian of them! On a smoke break away from the table, Magda complains to Tumi about the issues she’s having with Aesha. But the only advice the second stew has for her pal is to learn how to be the very best she can at her job. And hopefully let the petty drama roll off her back. But speaking of petty drama, little grievances continue erupting over dinner, whether it’s Benny accidentally spilling prawn juice on Jamie or Brittini playfully calling him a “b—h” for not knowing a song by The Beatles.
The next morning, it’s the crew’s day off. And it’s time to go find some crocodiles in the wild. All narrated by Crocodile DunCulver from the confessional chair, of course. While Captain Jason takes Stacie the blow-up doll to the wheelhouse, the crew heads to the Prosperine River. And suddenly it feels like something straight out of Survivor: The Australian Outback. As a native Australian, Jamie‘s too cool for the crocodile excursion. But the rest of the crew are losing their minds over spotting the reptiles in the wild. Back at the boat, the captain’s having significantly less great of a day as he finds trash bags filled with maggots and rotting seafood that failed to be unloaded with the garbage.
At lunch following the crocodile tour, Magda and Ryan sneak off to commiserate over their shared disdain for Aesha. The chef claims he can see how Aesha mistreats Magda at work. And the third stew is more than happy to finally get the validation Tumi refused to give her the night before. Meanwhile, the lowkey sparks continue to fly between Culver and Brittini as Jamie gives them a free bachata dance lesson on the beach. It seems the entire crew is fully in support of this potential showmance happening. And you have to admit the way Culver says “Brittini” in his Southern frat boy accent is pretty gosh darn adorable…
As the night wears on, Chef Ryan‘s attitude only gets worse. And he tries roping Tumi onto the Aesha hate train, but the second stew isn’t having it. Instead, she defends her boss, and appropriately shades Ryan via confessional for daring to question anyone else’s work ethic. And later, Jamie finally reveals why he’s such a stickler for safety, opening up to the crew about a time he tried to save a 12-year-old Chinese boy who drowned, but couldn’t resuscitate him. However, down at the other end of the table, Ryan and Magda would rather continue to bash Aesha than listen to Jamie’s story.
Unable to take any more of the backbiting, Tumi brings Aesha to the bathroom and tells her everything Ryan and Magda have been saying behind her back all afternoon. You can cut the tension with a knife when the two stews return to the table. Aesha expects it from Ryan, but she feels especially betrayed by Magda. What a perfect time to head back to the boat! Instead of confronting the duo, Aesha retreats to her cabin, where she eventually breaks down in tears to Brittini. But what she doesn’t realize is that Ryan can hear every word she’s saying from his own cabin. He’s furious to discover Tumi snitched on him. And promptly storms up to the hot tub to confront her for spreading what he claims is “false information.” And with that, the episode ends with Aesha in tears, Ryan screaming at Tumi, and Tumi laughing in his face as she tells him to “suck [her] d–k.” Yikes.
TELL US – WILL CAPTAIN JASON BE ABLE TO FIND ANOTHER CHEF? HOW COOL WAS THE CROCODILE SAFARI? ARE YOU SHIPPING CULVER AND BRITTINI AS MUCH AS THE CREW? DID TUMI BETRAY RYAN?
