The Bachelor Alums Becca Kufrin And Thomas Jacobs Are Homeowners

Now that they’re officially engaged, it’s time for former Bachelorette Becca Kufrin and her new fiancé Thomas Jacobs to set up house together. And they’ll be doing just that in the new home they purchased together in San Diego, California.

“Officially co-home owners!” Becca proclaimed on social media, her happy announcement accompanied by photos of the couple and their two dogs in front of their new home. “Tommy is my new roommate, and Minno & Leo are our new tenants. Let’s fill this home with so many laughs, meals, memories, and maybe a couple babies.” Becca’s good news was reported on Friday by E! Online.

Congratulations and best wishes from many members of Bachelor Nation were shared in the comments section of Becca‘s post.

Tayshia Adams wrote, “Ahh, SO happy for you both!!!!! Can’t help but smile from ear to ear looking at these!! Cheers to you two!!!”

Tia Booth commented, “Wooooo!!!!,” while DeAnna Stagliano wrote, “Love it! Congratulations!!!”

Becca and Thomas, who met on the Bachelor in Paradise beach in 2021, got engaged in May, when Becca got down on one knee and  asked Thomas to marry her. Happily, he said yes, and buying a house together seemed the next logical step.

“We knew we wanted to eventually get married and spend our lives together,” the Season 14 Bachelorette said. “But he obviously just thought he was going to be the one to do it. No questions asked.”

Becca started planning her proposal to Thomas while she was away co-hosting “The Bachelor: Live on Stage” tour. “I was like, ‘Look, I’m going to be home in a few weeks and there’s so much to do in this lifetime, but I just want him to know how committed I am,'” she said. “So I started planning in April, all of the things that would go into my proposal for him, and it all came to fruition in the middle of May.”

Now that Becca and Thomas are homeowners, is planning a wedding next for the happy couple? Or maybe planning a nursery? Their future is certainly looking rosy for these two. Congratulations, Becca and Thomas!

Cameran Eubanks Credits Craig Conover For Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck’s Wedding

All roads lead back to Bravo. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck tied the knot over the weekend in a surprise Vegas ceremony. And to think, this is all thanks to the desperately messy cast of Southern Charm!

During the Season 7 reunion Craig Conover dropped a bomb in an attempt to drag his smarmy buddy’s ex-girlfriend, Madison LeCroy through the mud. Craig accused Madison of sleeping with a married MLB star. Madison bucked back and insisted Craigy say names. Later, Danni Baird confrimed Madison’s “FaceTime relationship” with none other than Alex Rodriguez. Can we get some cameras around here?

According to Shep Rose, there were cameras filming when Madion had discussed her low-key relationship with ARod, but thanks to some NDAs, we weren’t given the footage. To no avail, ARod did his best to deny he has anything going on with the Southern Charmer. He later split with his long-time fiance Jeninifer Lopez. And the rest is history.

JLo, who has stayed unbothered through it all, posted a statement following the wedding event of the weekend. She wrote, “They were right when they said, ‘all you need is love.’ We are so grateful to have that in abundance. a new wonderful family of five amaing children and a life that we have bever had more reason to look forward to. Sick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with. Love is a great thing, maybe the best things- and worth waiting for.”

Cameron Eubanks commented on the statement with a cheeky, “JLo you forgot to thank Craig.” @commentsbybravo noted the post and added, “Greatest butterfly effect” as their caption.

Madison once claimed that she would share her side of the story if she was able to return to Southern Charm in Season 8. “I’m happy to tell my story,” she said. “If I’m asked the questions, yes, I will tell the truth. I will say this — the reason why I’m not bothered is because I’m innocent in that sense.” Well. We’re a few episodes in to the season already, and there is nary an A-List name-drop in sight.

TELL US – IS IT TIME FOR THE SOUTHERN CHARM CAST TO MOVE ON FROM THE A-LIST DRAMA? DID JLO REGISTER FOR ANY OF CRAIG’S PILLOWS?

Below Deck Mediterranean Recap: Got A Secret, Can You Keep It?

Oops. Well that can of beans didn’t take long to spill, did it? Amid the first day of school vibes, new faces and understaffed first charter, this season of Below Deck Mediterranean got off to a weird start. Mostly thanks to the bizarre dynamic between chief stew Natasha Webb and Chef Dave White. And surprise, surprise, it only took two episodes to find out just how well the two newcomers knew each other before coming on board M/Y Home.

Remember last week when I said the pair’s touchy-feely relationship was giving me flashbacks to Malia White and Chef Adam Glick? Yeah, I didn’t realize at the time just how right I was. But before we get into the big reveal at the end of the episode, let’s cover everything else that happened during the first charter of the season.

Crash, Bang, Boom

Last week ended with disaster striking, as the yacht lost control of its stabilizers. But as is typical with editing on this show, the chaos realistically only lasts a few seconds. Bottles crash to the ground. There’s a mess to clean up. Vacuums are brought out. And Captain Sandy Yawn runs around the entire boat making sure everyone, from guests to crew, is safe and OK. Honestly, the worst part of the whole ordeal is that Chef Dave‘s dinner prep gets completely disrupted. But it looks like he saved the fryer from falling into the pot of boiling water.

Determined to get to the bottom of the mishap, Captain Sandy makes a visit to the engine room. Where the chief engineer gives her a big long explanation about how the boat is a hybrid with an A/C cooling system. Which is apparently what caused the stabilizers to have their power temporarily cut. Backup generators were involved. But honestly, I started tuning the whole thing out. Unless you’re really into yachts, you probably don’t care that the new boat is a hybrid. This is not the kind of drama that we watch Below Deck Med for.

Raygan’s Winning All of the Awards

Raygan Tyler continues to be the clear weak link in the chain of command this week. Captain Sandy‘s solution to the stabilizer malfunction is obviously to distract the guests by throwing all the toys in the water. But such a simple task takes forever, leaving the guests literally waiting and watching as the crew fumbles under the bosun’s inept leadership. Mzi Dempers quickly senses that working under Raygan won’t be quite the tightly-run ship they were last season with Malia White in charge. But he’s not about to say something this early in the season.

And that’s not all. Last week, Raygan let Jason Gaskell do all the work. This week, she’s bad at putting together anchor watch schedules. And break schedules. And really any kind of schedule at all. Her excuse is that she doesn’t know yet what all the deckhands’ capabilities are. But the bosun certainly knows when to take her smoke breaks!

Second Stew or Captain of Team Too Much?

We also get to know more about Kyle Viljoen this week and, uh, so do the guests. The stew is still pretty freshly out of the closet and he seems to really bask in telling people about it. Maybe I’m being overly harsh, but it just feels like Kyle teetered on the line of professionalism multiple times this week. First he was regaling the guests with his life story. (Part of which involves being in a secret 12-year relationship with a man who ultimately left him for a woman before he came out.) Then he was serving them drinks while wearing a bright pink, inflatable, vibrating penis apropos of nothing. And yes, the guests went along with it and made jokes, but it certainly wasn’t something they asked for. Which made it feel sort of inappropriate?

Of course, all of that was coupled with Kyle greeting the co-primaries in their room. While wearing a mask and getting tickled with a feather by Natalya Scudder. Again, the guests seemed amused in a sort of awkward, cringey way. And the stew clearly thinks he’s hilarious. But it’s all coming across as a little bit Team Too Much. Try taking it down a notch. Or several. So far, I can see a clear path from here to him trying to kiss a charter guest later in the season, as we saw in the supertease.

A Bit of Constructive Criticism

After pulling off a successful anniversary party-slash-sushi night, the first charter ends on a decent note. Even though Chef Dave just about dropped the gorgeous mirror glazed cake he made for the big night. The next morning, Captain Sandy entrusts Storm Smith and his impressive mustache with calling distances during docking. And thankfully, the first docking goes off without a hitch. Though come to think of it, I don’t remember seeing Raygan touch a single line during the process.

As they leave the boat, the primaries call out the deck team’s general lack of organization. And in the tip meeting, Captain Sandy demands that the department gets up to her standards for the next charter. Everyone’s finally here. There’s no more room for excuses anymore. Looking at you, Raygan. But still, the crew earns a tip of $27,000. Which is a massive tip in terms of general Below Deck history. Also side note: the funniest part of the episode was easily the door to Natalya and Raygan’s cabin continually getting stuck, right?

The Truth Comes Out

The crew heads to their first night out. And even before they’ve made it to the restaurant, the other guys are asking Chef Dave about his relationship with Natasha. Like, they’re totally dating, right? No, no, the chef insists. Just great pals who met five weeks ago on their last boat. And share long, awkward hugs in their cabin. And fall into one another’s arms in the corridors.  That’s all there is to it. Promise. Meanwhile, in the opposite van, Natasha tells the others that she joined her last boat with an ex-boyfriend but ended up with “another guy” by season’s end. Hmm…

At the table, the topic obviously gets brought up again. And when Natasha steps away to the bathroom, Dave finally admits that while they’re not a couple, he’d like them to be. Which Natalya is more than happy to report back to the chief stew the moment she sits back down. Oh and there’s one more thing for Dave to admit to production in his confessional: He and Natasha did hook up on their last boat. But she swore him to secrecy before they started filming for Bravo’s cameras. Except oops, it took all of two days for that to come out! So basically, it really is like Malia and Adam 2.0. But where will Natasha and Dave go from here?

TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED NATASHA AND DAVE HOOKED UP BEFORE FILMING? WHY DO YOU THINK SHE SWORE HIM TO SECRECY? WAS KYLE BEING TOO FORWARD WITH THE GUESTS? IS RAYGAN SIMPLY INCOMPETENT OR JUST IN OVER HER HEAD?

90 Day Fiancé Recap: Temperature Check

Whew! Things are starting to heat up on 90 Day Fiance. The couples are finally realizing that they actions have consequences. Not everyone in their lives is happy to see the choices they are making. It’s weird for people who are going against the wishes of their families, they seem very dependent on them. I don’t think there is anything wrong with following your dreams and heart, but you have to know there is always risk involved. Many of these couples haven’t considered anything beyond the fact they want to be married.

Shaeeda turns the tables on Bilal and his prenup. Thais finally tells her dad the truth. Jibri clashes with his parents when they push him about his plans. Kara vents to friends about Guillermo‘s doubts. Ariela and Biniyam make a momentous decision. Let’s get straight to the recap.

Emily, 29 (Salina, Kansas) and Kobe, 34 (Cameroon)

Kobe and Emily are still hiding the fact that she is pregnant from her family. Although she feels guilty, she is adamant that they don’t reveal the big news to anyone before the wedding.  Now that the wedding is closer, one of Kobe’s groomsmen, Temperature is in town from Ohio. When he and Kobe meet, his friend warns him American culture is different from the one in Africa. Kobe worries not only about his fiancé’s attitude, but the fact that they have another child on the way with no plan. Temperature encourages him to take the reins and not allow Emily to make all of the decisions.

Kobe’s best friend, Temperature joins him and Emily and her family for lunch. When Temperature witnesses Emily’s interaction with Kobe, he is shocked by how controlling she is. He even mentions that Kobe is from a royal family. Huh? Temperature reminds Emily that as a man, Kobe should have the final say. Her family literally laughs in his face at the thought that she would allow that. Honestly, I don’t think it has anything to do with their cultures. Emily does come off as controlling and disrespectful a lot of the time. Although I don’t agree with everything Temperature said, I think he was trying to get Emily to realize she needs to allow her husband to feel like a man and not her child.

Patrick, 31 (Austin, Texas) and Thais, 25 (Brazil)

Thais finally tells her father the truth about why she has traveled to the U.S. Needless to say, he is not happy to hear the news. Once Patrick leaves them to talk alone, she explains that she withheld this information from him because she wasn’t sure if she wanted to get married. Yikes! Meanwhile, Patrick is hiding in the garage venting to John. He is sad that now her father will always believe it was him who wanted to deceive him. Thais’ dad asks her to prevent any heartbreak in the future by returning home to Brazil.

After the conversation with her father, Thais is visibly upset. She is now confused about whether she made the right decision. She also admits that her dad doesn’t want her to get married to Patrick. He is shocked because he believed that her father liked him. Come on Patrick, why do you think she was hiding the wedding? She knew he would not approve. Thais is now wondering whether she should return to her old life in Brazil.

Bilal, 42 (Kansas City, Missouri) and Shaeeda, 37 (Trinidad and Tobago)

Shaeeda has spoken to her lawyer about Bilal’s prenuptial agreement and he has warned her that it is one sided. She asks him to go to lunch to talk without the children. She makes it clear that if she signs an agreement, it will be with conditions that would benefit her as well. Bilal says he will consider her changes, but he doesn’t seem too keen to do so. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.

Yvette, 48 (Albuquerque, New Mexico) and Mohamed, 25 (Egypt)

Yvette and Mohamed reconcile after their huge fight about the wedding. When she talks to one of her friends about it, she is shocked about his threats to get another sponsor. Of course, Yvette defends her man and encourages her friend to give him another chance. Later, when she asks Mohamed to hang out with her friends again he quickly declines. But in the end, Yvette gets her way and she gets him to agree to have a fire ceremony to release negative energy with her friends. Once the ceremony is underway, Mohamed looks like a scared deer in headlights. He declines to participate because he believes it goes against his religious beliefs. When one of her friends asks him does he like them, he tells her no. Sigh! Well at least he is honest. Honestly, I still have no idea why these people are still planning to get married.

 

Ariela, 30, (Princeton, New Jersey) and Biniyam, 31 (Ethiopia)

The closer they get to the wedding, neither Ariela or Biniyam are sure that it will actually happen. The only thing that seems to be holding them together is their son. Sadly, these two aren’t on the same page about the future and only can agree about wanting their son to have both parents. Biniyam, still traumatized by losing his first son, will endure anything just to have a place in his child’s life. Hopefully they will be able to get on the same page at some point.

Kara, 29 (Charlottesville, Virginia) and Guillermo, 23 (Venezuela)

Guillermo calls his mother to get some advice about his relationship with Kara. She agrees with his hair stylist that their problems should be addressed, before the wedding. But Kara took his questions as him having doubts about them getting married. His mother reminds him that no relationship is without issues and he should focus on what brought them together. Later, Kara has friends over the house for her bachelorette party. She vents about their problems and how she isn’t changing while Guillermo is locked away upstairs. Sigh! I don’t think Guillermo realizes what he is signing himself up for.

 

Jibri, 28 (Rapid City, South Dakota) and Miona, 23 (Serbia)

Jibri and Miona got their walking papers from his family. Apparently, they only gave them until the end of the year to move out, which is only a month away. The 90 days is almost over and they still have no plans on when and where they will get married or where they will live. Jibri is shocked that his parents aren’t willing to help them more. But in his parents eyes, he is a 28 year old who is about to have a wife and needs to have boundaries. I can see his parents point. You don’t get to be an adult and a child at the same time. He is old enough to take responsibility for his life and the woman he intends to marry. Plus Miona doesn’t want to live with his parents anyway.

 

 

TELL US: DO YOU THINK JIBRI OR HIS PARENTS ARE RIGHT? SHOULD THAIS RETURN TO BRAZIL? IS EMILY CONTROLLING OR JUST INDEPENDENT?

Tamra Judge Slams Jill Zarin As “Thirsty Bitch” For Announcing Tamra’s Real Housewives Return

Not the announcement she was hoping for. Tamra Judge has been rumored for weeks, if not months, to be coming back to Real Housewives of Orange County. While Noella Bergener and Dr. Jen Armstrong already announced their exits, no information was coming out on who would be coming back, let alone joining.

But thanks to Jill Zarin, the cat is out of the bag. As reported by Page Six, the former Real Housewives of New York star already announced it to fans. On her way to a luncheon in the Hamptons, Jill told her Instagram followers, “And Tamra’s coming back and my friend Vicki [Gunvalson]’s not happy.” The video was posted to Instagram Stories, which expire after 24 hours. So it’s unclear if Jill then deleted it or if it expired. I’m going to guess she deleted it. Because Tamra was PISSED.

Tamra jumped on both Twitter and Instagram to post her own video. She bluntly stated, “Hey guys, I have a big announcement: Jill is the thirstiest bitch I have ever met.”

As for Jill’s claim that Vicki wasn’t happy, Vicki denied it to Page Six. Said Vicki, “Good for her, I’m happy for her.” Another thirst-monster and former RHOC cast member, Braunwyn Windham-Burke, also weighed in. Braunwyn noted, “Obviously her presence has been missed. She’s a staple on the show and they’d be lucky to have her.”

Sources told the outlet that next season is expected to “revolve around Tamra.” Another insider added, “Tamra is thrilled to come back to the show, especially after feeling the fan love from her stint on [Real Housewives] Ultimate Girls Trip. She can’t wait to get back in the mix on RHOC and see how she can shake up the dynamic.”

Neither Tamra nor Jill’s rep has responded for comment so far. And Bravo has not made any official announcement about Tamra’s alleged return.

Jill, who is starring in Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club alongside Tamra, quickly posted another video. She backtracked, “I just have to straighten something out. This morning I was on my way to the event and I use an expression often: ‘breaking news.’ But it doesn’t mean that there’s anything breaking that wasn’t broken to me. And I had read online that Vicki wasn’t coming back and Tamra was and I said that. I just repeated what I had read. I don’t have any inside information. Nobody talks to me at Bravo. I know absolutely nothing.”

Jill continued, “I just repeated the news that was already printed, so I don’t know why Tamra attacked me today, calling me a thirsty bitch. Thirsty about what? I’m so happy for you! You wanted this and I’m so happy for you. Why is there any animosity? I don’t know. Anyway, we’re gonna have to straighten that one out. But congratulations anyway.”

Her daughter, Ally Shapiro, appeared in the video alongside her mother and chimed in. She remarked, “We love both of you! We love Tamra and Vicki. We love you guys.” Jill added, “We love you guys together.”

TELL US – WHY WOULD JILL ANNOUNCE THE NEWS? IS SHE A THIRSTY BITCH? DO YOU THINK TAMRA IS COMING BACK TO RHOC? WILL YOU BE WATCHING IF SHE IS?

Top 5 Takeaways From Real Housewives Of Atlanta Season 14 Episode 10

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta is in its renaissance era. This crop of women is bringing the heat (and the funny) in the way Atlanta always used to do. It’s about damn time!

Drama Isn’t Everything

I know most of us viewers watch reality television for the drama, but it’s not everything. It doesn’t have to be the only deciding factor of whether or not a series is good. Atlanta has thrived on drama in the past, but one thing lacking from recent seasons was a genuine sisterhood between the ladies.

However, the opening scene of this week’s episode featuring Kandi Burruss and Kenya Moore was a welcomed change in pace. We saw two boss women bonding with their young daughters and having a genuine conversation with no fighting, and it was a rarity that hardly occurs on these shows.

Something that SENT me and had me on the floor laughing was the car ride to the cast trip. Marlo Hampton and Sheree Whitfield spent the entire ride snacking up a storm. However, Monyetta Shaw, Drew Sidora, and Kandi got barred from eating. LIVING.

Marlo Vs. Kenya Rages On

Kenya tells Kandi she was trying to have a good girl’s night at Sheree’s pajama party until Marlo deterred it. Marlo’s proving this season that she’s incapable of being a genuine friend.

Eventually, Marlo’s going to turn on you. I’m so glad she got her peach because it felt like the network in her friend role was using her.

Kandi’s throwing herself in the middle of the drama between Kenya and Marlo. For some reason, she’s carrying the bones to Marlo about Kenya not attending the camping trip. Marlo didn’t care that Kenya wasn’t coming, so nothing came from it. Still though. Why is Kandi playing the role of messenger?

Marlo doesn’t want Kenya to attend the cast trip if she doesn’t stay at the house with everyone. I get that, and there’s no reason she can’t stay in the same place with the rest of the group. Other ladies in the group have issues with each other, but they’re sucking it up for camaraderie.

However, every time Kenya attempts to explain her side of things, she’s cut off by Marlo. These two can’t let each other breathe and get their points across. Both women want to be the one with the last word, so nothing ever gets sorted out.

Marlo’s “Mauntie” Troubles

Kandi was correct in her assessment of Marlo dropping the ball in her new role. Marlo chose to take on the duties of raising her nephews, and nobody forced her. However, at the first sign of things getting tough, Marlo sent the boys packing to their other aunt. What sort of stability does that provide for them?

In Marlo’s defense, the boys are exhibiting some intense behavior. One of them punched a hole in the wall while she was out of town because they didn’t get their way.

That’s a lot for someone to deal with that’s never been a parent, and she’s not used to taking on that kind of responsibility.

Something I didn’t know was this wasn’t the first time she had taken after someone full-time. Her sister (that’s currently watching the boys) was under her care in the past as well. Maybe everyone’s too hard on Marlo. Maybe.

During the mountain getaway, Marlo tells the women she’s not ashamed about the break from the boys. Thirty days away from them is a long time. Her sister has many kids, so that’s also difficult for her. However, unless you’re in Marlo’s shoes, you can’t judge her.

Mountain Madness

The madness didn’t take long to get underway during the girl’s trip, thanks to Kenya’s “surprise” arrival. For the most part, many of the women were excited to see her join the vacation. However, Marlo was hurt by Kandi because she withheld the information that Kenya was coming.

Kenya and Kandi get into it a little over Kenya, not wanting to stay at the house. Everyone wanted her to stay, but Kenya was vague about her daughter’s whereabouts. Is she staying with you? When is she coming? What’s the truth?

Sanya Richards-Ross arrives even later than Kenya on the trip, but she comes with exciting news. She’s taking all of the women on a journey to Jamaica! That’ll be the best cast trip of the season. Everyone gets to invite a plus one, so you know it’ll be messy with all the husbands.

Kenya doesn’t think Marlo knows how to love or be a friend. I agree. Marlo has repeatedly shown that she’s willing to turn on someone for the sake of having a moment. Marlo believes the crux of all this is calling Kenya a liar for being sick.

I have to say, Marlo’s speech about looking up to Kenya was moving, and I bought into every second of it. Everything’s awkward and weird now because the energy shifted after their fighting.

Drama with Drew

Drew is a magnet for drama, and it never fails to find her. Her drama with Sanya doesn’t even make sense at this point. I guess I’m Team Sanya simply out of annoyance with Drew’s entire persona since joining the show.

My observation about Drew isn’t as big of a takeaway as the others, but it’s a precursor for what’s to come later on the Blue Ridge Mountain trip. She has issues with Sanya and Fatum that are ready to bubble into a big dramatic situation.

With all of these women in one central location, things have to come to a head. Whatever peaceful getaway Marlo had in mind isn’t how this is playing out so far. No rest for the wicked!

TELL US – TEAM MARLO OR TEAM KENYA? DID MARLO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION ABOUT HER NEPHEWS? SHOULD KENYA STAY AT THE HOUSE WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP?

Alfonso Ribeiro Joins Tyra Banks As Co-Host Of Dancing With The Stars

More changes are coming to Dancing With The Stars for season 31. Previously, ABC announced that the long-running competition series would move to Disney+, making it the streamer’s first ever live program. Now, they’ve just announced a brand new co-host is joining in on the fun — Alfonso Ribeiro.

Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air will join Tyra Banks as co-host for Dancing With The Stars’ 31st season this fall. Tyra took over hosting the show in 2020 after ABC randomly fired longtime host Tom Bergeron. Trya’s been a spectacle to look at over the last few seasons, but some fans have complained about her chaotic hosting skills. On the other hand, Alfonso is about as predictable as they come, so a Tyra and Alfonso duo might be a perfect balance.

Of course, this won’t be Alfonso’s first time taking the stage on DWTS. The actor and television personality won the Mirrorball Trophy back in 2014, and then he briefly returned to fill in for Tom, who took time off to care for his sick father. He also took over Tom’s hosting job on America’s Funniest Home Videos, so Alfonso is basically the go-to guy for filling a role once held by Tom Bergeron.

“I’m super excited,” Alfonso told People about his latest gig. “For me to be asked now to co-host with Tyra, and be part of the great crew and dancers and friends … to be able to be on stage with them and to be part of that family again, is quite special for me. I mean, these dancers are friends of mine at this point now. We really do all hang out together and talk outside of that show.”

Plus, it sounds like Alfonso and Tyra already have some chemistry. Alfonso dished that the two met years ago on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He told ABC News that he hopes their longstanding friendship resonates with viewers.

“We’ve known each other since junior high school,” he explained. “We go back a long ways, and her first acting job was Fresh Prince. I think it’s going to be nice for us to work together again, and to bring the fun out and have some fun on that stage. Smile and laughter, and enjoyment for everyone.”

We can expect the new season of Dancing With The Stars to hit Disney+ later this fall, but they haven’t yet announced an official premiere date. However, they’ll reveal the cast of celebrities on Good Morning America on September 8th. Mark your calendars, folks.

Top 5 Takeaways From Real Housewives Of Dubai Season 1 Episode 6

Real Housewives of Dubai continues to be the new landmark series for the franchise. The drama is finally heating up, and the women are hitting their stride as a group. Everyone’s contributing, and this episode was no different.

Ayan’s Extraness Makes The Show But Caution Should Be Had

Chanel Ayan showed up at a store with Caroline Brooks at the beginning of the episode in the most extra outfit yet. I’m sure the price tag was absorbent, but money doesn’t always equal fashion.

It was nothing but Big Bird in the desert vibes for me. However, I find myself wanting more and more wild and wacky looks from her each week.

At a meeting with the other women further into the episode. Ayan arrives this time in a red tinsel type of attire. I want to love her. I do love her. However, at some point, I worry she’ll become more of a comedic act than someone taken seriously.

Hearing that Ayan FAKE WATERS her FAKE PLANTS in the morning is so damn funny. Even though her outfits are a bit over the top and almost too much, this is comedy gold. She’s so unintentionally hilarious that she steals every scene she’s in.

Brooks’ Mama Bear Instincts

It’s evident early in the episode during a shopping trip with Ayan that her son is her entire world. Being a mother is everything to her, so it puts into perspective what happens later on in this episode.

Being Adam’s mom means the world to Brooks, and she mirrors her mother’s parenting style. The discipline is firm despite her undeniable love for him.

Brooks thinks she’s doing the best for her son by sending him to boarding school. She wants to give him the best money can buy. However, Stanbury cautions her about this decision.

We’ve seen firsthand how her life at boarding school affected her as an adult. It’s a tough call as a mother wanting to better her son.

Brooks tried hard at her dinner with Sara to be the best possible mom to Adam. Adam’s camera shyness was showing, and it made the scene awkward. That’s natural. He’s a child. He didn’t sign up for reality television. I don’t think it’s deeper than that.

Brooks didn’t appreciate Sara Al Madani intruding (more on that later) on her ability as a mother. Her defenses came up because who she is at her core was on the attack. Sara hits a nerve, and Brooks loses her shit.

Stanbury’s Wedding Woes

Caroline Stanbury’s career as an influencer works because she’s getting this fabulous stay at a swanky hotel for her wedding. Be the face of that hotel, honey! Get that free stuff!

Stanbury’s relationship with her family is still a bit off-putting to watch. They have no genuine connection because of the limited time spent together. I see why she doesn’t want to focus her energies on them because they’ve never been a massive part of who she is.

Stanbury’s mother doesn’t speak about feelings which sounds accurate. She is the same as her mother. The pattern didn’t skip a generation. There’s an opportunity present to break that cycle, and Sergio Carrallo could be the one to do it.

Another possible complication between Stanbury and Sergio is their incompatible sex drives. He’s younger with a higher libido, and she’s not looking to match it.

Does she ever compromise about anything? All season it’s been a series of things she’s unwilling to do in her relationship, family, or even her friend group.

Stanbury agrees she should sit with family at the wedding itself. She doesn’t think it’s necessary to do so at the engagement party.

This is his first wedding, not hers. She doesn’t need to participate in the traditional roles for something she’s already done before.

The bond between Stanbury and her family toward the end of the episode appeared nonexistent. The types of families are so different. One family (Stanbury’s) is reserved and cold, and the other (Sergio’s) is all about bonding and talking about feelings.

Another Round Of Lesa Vs. Stanbury

Nina Ali grew tired of Stanbury & Lesa Milan fighting, so she arranged for them to meet with her in the middle. Lesa doesn’t have the energy for Stanbury, but alas, we are doing this again.

Stanbury felt attacked by Lesa previously, but Lesa finds the oral sex proposition trashy. I agree with Stanbury that it was likely a drunken sarcastic comment. She was on defense and owned the inappropriateness of it all.

Lesa claims not to have an issue with Stanbury despite whispers on the street. She’s heard from others to be careful of Stanbury, but that’s a passive-aggressive statement in and of itself.

They left off Nina’s lunch on better terms, which bodes well for the future. <

Sara The Preacher

There’s nothing inherently wrong with Sara. I quite enjoy her. However, let’s call it as we see it. She tends to be a bit preachy.

Her struggles and overcoming them are a large part of who she is, but sometimes it feels shoved down everyone’s throats.

Sara talking to Ayan before her charity event was a prime example. She says she wasn’t always like this, and it’s not too late to be like her. The ego is through the roof.

I don’t think Sara even realizes when she’s doing it. Ayan wants the preaching to stop, and so do I. It makes Sara not enjoyable to watch, which is a shame because instinctively, I want to like her.

Brooks pitches the idea of sending Adam to boarding school with Sara, and she’s vehemently against it. Technically, Brooks pitched the idea to her. She opened the door to the entire conversation.

However, Sara telling Brooks she needs to be closer to her son crossed a line. As a viewer, I see where Sara’s coming from here. It does seem like Brooks can’t be bothered with Adam at times. As her friend, though, that’s not something it’s alright to say.

Sara should’ve taken the cue from Brooks to drop it, but she kept going. How this friendship recovers is beyond me. That might be a full stop for me if someone interjected themselves in my father-daughter relationship.

Porsha Williams Reportedly Replacing Tinsley Mortimer On Season 3 Of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip

Season 2 of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club is streaming on Peacock. These ladies all have something to prove, and they are a delightful disaster. Will Dorinda Medley’s beloved Blue Stone Manor ever be the same?

It has been reported that Season 3 of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip will film in beautiful Thailand and will feature a mix of current and former Housewives. Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cousins Heather Gay and Whitney Rose are packing their bags. So are ladies who are no stranger to a tropical climate. Please welcome Real Housewives of Miami stars Marysol Patton and Alexia Nepola (formerly Alexia Echevarria.)

Gizelle Bryant and Candiace Dillard from Real Housewives of Potomac both got the nod, as did Real Housewives of New York buddies Tinsley Mortimer and Leah McSweeney.

Well, not so fast! According to People, Tinsley is being replaced by Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Porsha Williams. Sources claim that Tinsley chose to leave the series for “personal reasons.” Filming for the third installment in the series is supposedly scheduled to begin on July 18, 2022.

Sources said that the cast was scheduled to begin their travel on Thursday, July 14, 2022. The cast was confirmed by representatives for Peacock.

Porsha is friendly with Gizelle as they co-hosted Bravo’s Chat Room. But Candiace and Porsha had drama in the past after Porsha defended Monique Samuels. As you may recall, there was that incident when Monique dragged Candiace by her hair.

Of course, Gizelle claimed in August of 2021, that both she and Porsha were scheduled to be on Season 1 of RHUGT. “It was in pre-production for me and [Porsha Williams], as well as some of the other ladies that they went with,” Gizelle explained. “But then Covid hit. So, that group was cancelled.”

Porsha also had an issue with the Season 1 RHUGT cast, which included her RHOA co-stars Kenya Moore and Cynthia Bailey. During a game on Watch What Happens Live, the entire cast voted on who should be considered an All-Star. When Porsha’s face appeared, only Cynthia and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards voted for her. Oof.

Well, Porsha noticed, and she wasn’t happy about the shade. She posted the clip on Twitter and tweeted, “This is so cute being that I was originally cast to head the all star show along with Gizelle [Bryant]. Traveling during quarantine was our issue,” Porsha wrote. “Booked & busy when it came back around! Watch #PorshaFamilyMatters Nov. 28th & grab my book #PursuitOfPorsha! S/O Cynthia & Kyle.”

RELATED: Sheree Whitfield Says Porsha Williams Should Have Drew Sidora’s Peach On Real Housewives Of Atlanta

Porsha quit RHOA after Season 13. After all, she received a lot of flack for quickly becoming engaged to Simon Guobadia, who was the recent ex of co-star Falynn Pina. Porsha and Simon’s relationship timeline was sketchy, to say the least.

It doesn’t seem like Porsha misses holding a peach. During an Amazon Live, Porsha discussed the new season of RHOA. “I’ve caught some of the episodes, and honey, they are bringing the drama. I’m enjoying my peace, but they are definitely bringing the drama,” Porsha remarked. “Those girls are doing a good job over there.”

Big Brother 24 Live Feeds: Nicole Reveals To Daniel Her Past As A Cop

Often, the Big Brother 24 house is a place where the houseguests immerse themselves into the game so much that the real world fades away. When it enters the game, the houseguests’ emotions can become even more heightened.  Over the weekend on the Big Brother 24 Live Feeds, Daniel Durston and Nicole Layog shared an emotional moment. A tragedy from Daniel’s personal life led to Nicole being more honest with her Rogue Rats partner.

Daniel shared with his fellow houseguests some details about the murder of his brother. Daniel being so open, honest, and raw about his family tragedy made Nicole want to share her biggest game secret. This was to let him know that she understood the weight of what he’s been carrying.  Daniel and Nicole made an alliance and a final two deal within the first couple of days of Big Brother 24.

They’ve been loyal and honest with each other all season (thus far). However, prior to going into the Big Brother 24 house, Nicole didn’t plan to share that she was a cop for ten years before becoming a professional chef. She knew being a cop might make her a target.

On July 17 around 12:45 BBT (Cam 1/Cam 2), she told Daniel that his story about his brother made her want to tell him about her past in law enforcement.  She shared the emotional turmoil that came with being a police officer. She shared that at one point she made detective and had over 100 unsolved cases at her desk. It was hard for her to have the burden of not being able to help so many people.

These families had to live with not knowing what happened or why it happened to people they loved. Daniel then shared a bit about how his family never got a resolution on his brother’s murder. He didn’t want to go into many details about it, but it’s clear (as to be expected with anyone who loses someone they love in such a violent way), that the wounds will never heal from the loss of his brother.

Nicole shared how her ex-wife helped her leave behind the police force because she encouraged her to pursue her dreams of being a chef. Nicole said she’s so much happier now as a chef. Daniel and Nicole both got emotional a few times while discussing her past career and the death of his brother. They wanted to find a way to help more families of murder victims once the show ends.

It’s unclear if CBS will show this moment on any future episodes because it’s such a sensitive subject. However, Nicole telling Daniel her career is such a big game moment that I suspect some version of it will eventually air on Big Brother 24. The feeds only showed a few moments of their conversation but it was definitely an impactful moment for both of them.

Big Brother 24 Power of Veto Week 2 Competition Results (7/16/22)

This week’s Big Brother 24 has blindside written all over it. This time, Joe “Pooch” Pucciarelli may find himself as the blindesided, not the blindsider. This plan to evict Pooch originally started in the first week when Ameerah Jones knew that she had to get Pooch out of the game. This week, she has put her plan in motion.

Ameerah and Nicole Layog have been the leaders of the evict Pooch train. There are still a few steps to ensure his eviction, but the Big Brother 24 Power of Veto was a key component. It may have gone in their favor.

Head of Household Jasmine Davis nominated Taylor Hales and Pooch for eviction. She wanted Taylor out. The house (or the majority of it) wanted Pooch out. Jasmine was set on Taylor, but the Girls Girls have been slowly getting her on board to take out Pooch. She knows this is a bigger move and wins her favor with the house.

They have also been telling her and Monte Taylor (who also really wants Taylor out) that Taylor can just go the following week. Going into this week’s Power of Veto Competition, nearly everyone was on board to get Pooch out. It just came down to the Veto.

The Veto drawing resulted in Ameerah, Michael Bruner, and Terrance Higgins being chosen to play in the Veto Competition alongside nominees Pooch, Taylor, and HOH Jasmine. Neither Ameerah nor Michael wanted to win it, but they knew that they couldn’t let Pooch win it.

So who won this week’s Power of Veto Competition? Read below to find out.

MAJOR BIG BROTHER 24 SPOILER AHEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Michael won the Power of Veto!

This is the second week in a row that Michael has won the Veto. However, unlike last week, I doubt he’ll use it. We should see Taylor and Pooch on the block come Thursday, but the outcome isn’t set. The majority want Pooch gone, but Jasmine, Monte, and a few others want him to stay. They could try to shift the vote against Taylor.
