My Real Housewives Of Orange County Dream Cast

Real Housewives of Orange County is ready to film and coming back for Season 17! Say what you want, this show has staying power. While there have been totally trash seasons in recent years, I have faith in this coming season because Tamra Judge is back. But I have even more faith because Bravo surprised us with a Housewives crossover casting decision: Taylor Armstrong is joining as a friend. If Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip Season 2 is any indication, Taylor will deliver on RHOC. These changes have me thinking about my dream OC cast. Just remember, this is MY OPINION! And share yours in the comments!

Tamra Judge

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it forever, the day Tamra declared herself the hottest housewife in Orange County was the day RHOC changed forever. Well, that, and the time she threw wine at Jeana Keough. So, no dream cast is complete without Tamra!

Gretchen Rossi

Tammy Sue has made many enemies in her time, one being Gretchen Rossi. Tamra got Gretchen “naked wasted” during Season 4 and they never recovered. For that alone, I want Gretchen opposite Tamra because the show was so good when both of these women were going at each other. Plus, with Gretchen comes OG veteran Househusband Slade Smiley!

Meghan King

Meghan King had one of the strongest introductory seasons to RHOC ever. At the time, she was married to Jim Edmonds, and his ex-wife was sadly dying of cancer. So Meghan was on a mission to destroy anyone who was going to go ahead and lie about having it. Who would do something like that?! That would be Brooks Ayers, Vicki Gunvalson’s biggest mistake ever. Meghan held Vicki to the fire without an ounce of intimidation. RHOC needs someone as tough as Meghan.

Alexis Bellino

Alexis Bellino got under Heather Dubrow’s skin for being a phony. She pissed Tamra off for … having implants too? Who knows, but Jesus Jugs is a great nickname. Now that Alexis is free from Jim Bellino, I want to see her on RHOC living her best life and maybe making amends with Tamra.

Kristin Cavallari

Keeping with the spirit of strong crossovers, let’s get the original Laguna Beach bad girl on RHOC! Kristin Cavallari is a veteran reality star, successful business woman, and one hundred percent herself on camera. She wouldn’t be intimidated by anyone and I think she’d be a super fun addition to the show.

Vicki Gunvalson

I know some won’t agree, but if RHOC has some good years left, and I think it does, Vicki better be on it. It’s only right since Vicki is the OG housewife. I don’t care what Ramona Singer says! Plus I want to watch Tamra and Vicki ride off into the sunset together when RHOC ends. Alright, your turn!

Most Dramatic Vanderpump Rules Fights

None of the shows on Bravo have an ensemble cast of people who always get along. If there were no arguments, gossiping, or drunken antics, we would probably turn the channel. This is why we watch, right?

No program gifts us with plenty of drama more than our beloved Vanderpump Rules. After what seems like an eternity, VPR is gearing up to premier Season 10. Let’s take a walk down memory lane and reflect on some of the finer moments Vanderpump Rules has given us, and by that I mean the fights.

Season 1 – Jax Taylor vs His Sweater and Frank Herlihy

Picture it, 2013, Vegas. You hear the faint, shrill cries of “it’s my birthdayyyy” in the distance. The core Vanderpump Rules group travels to Sin City to celebrate Stassi Schroder’s very existence. The mood is tense, the friends are irritated, and no one but Stassi likes her new amor, Frank Herlihy. Stassi’s former lover Jax Taylor was mad with jealousy, could not handle the new spark blossoming between icky Frank and irritating Stassi. In a secret plan hatched by the one brain cell shared between Jax, Tom Sandoval, and Tom Schwartz, Jax stowed away on this trip to make a surprise appearance. While Stassi sat filled with glee at a restaurant celebration, Jax stormed in to the surprise of only Frank and Stassi because all of her friends totally knew… As Frank tried to form a sentence, Jax became enraged and suddenly all hell broke loose. Beer was on hair, chairs were overturned. Jax and Sandoval were… shirtless in the parking lot. Ultimately production had to get involved to break up the outburst of testosterone. If nothing else, Jax’s chunky sweater should have gotten a check for that episode.

Season 2 – Stassi Schroeder’s Hand vs Kristen Doute’s Face

When you cheat with your best friend’s boyfriend, who is also one of the most untrustworthy humans on national television, chances are someone is going to find out. Even if that someone comes in the form of Tequila Katie Maloney. After Katie’s loose lips gave way to some salacious info, Stassi made it her mission in life to find out the truth. That said, the girl has pretty good instincts. The rumor of Jax hooking up with Kristen Doute dominated the season and ultimately dominated Kristen too. She tried, she lied, lied, and denied – but the faint promise of Jax getting into Stassi’s good graces again was too much for this simple man. For the first time, he told the truth. Stassi invites everyone to a bar and confronts Kristen about the rumor directly. Kristen lies. Sandoval tries to become invisible at the bar. Jax appears from Hell and confirms the dirty deed was done, much to Kristen’s surprise. Then Stassi calls Kristen a dirty whore and slaps her upside her face. The group was never quite the same after that one.

Season 2 – Tom Sandoval vs Jax Taylor’s Forehead

It finally happened, the fallout from Jax banging Faith Kristen. The reasonably composed Sandoval gave Jax what he deserved. Scheana Marie just wanted to celebrate herself her upcoming marriage to Mike Shay at a lovely SUR party. Surrounded by flowers, Lisa Vanderpump, and all of her relatives, the enemies come face to face. Because she invited them to gather in the same room… Jax’s lackadaisical attitude towards Tom’s pain of betrayal became too much for Tom. He took his shot and it landed directly on Jax’s forehead. As Jax began to smile and bleed, production got on their knees and thanked the Lord for these unscrupulous people who allow cameras to capture their complete lack of decency.

Season 3 – Tom Sandoval vs James Kennedy

Sandoval started the season with some pent up frustration left over from his best friend plowing his girlfriend on his favorite couch. Kristen had moved on with 22-year-old SUR busboy James Kennedy. When Scheana had one of her ill-fated parties to celebrate her birthday, the gang gathered at a local bar to sing Good as Gold and shower Scheana with love. Unfortunately the only thing she was showered with was broken glass. Being the great guy he is, Sandoval showed up at the event and spied Kristen and James with his little eye. Kristen had been talking smack about Tom and he decided to have a one on one convo about her obsession inability to leave him alone. James came over and goaded Tom to the point where he lost his shit and swung on him. While the fight was brief, it was messy and had many layers. Kristen enjoyed every minute of what she thought was two men fighting over her. Bless her heart.

These are only a few of the juicy early season disagreements, so many more to come.

Who Was Evicted on Big Brother 24 Tonight? (9/1/22)

This week in the Big Brother 24 house started with the Head of Household, Matt Turner, nominating his fellow allies in the Leftovers, Taylor Hale and Brittany Hoopes. However, his main target for the week was Michael Bruner, and  Turner’s plan was to backdoor Michael. Things don’t always go as planned in Big Brother.

That plan went up in smoke when Michael won his fifth Power of Veto of the Big Brother 24 season. Michael will most likely take his BFF Brittany off the block, ensuring both of their safeties for the week. All the while, Kyle Capener was exposed to the house by Michael and Brittany for his racially motivated gameplay. Who will end up on the block this week, and who will be sent to the jury house tonight? Let’s find out now.

Big Brother 24 House Meeting

Kyle could feel the tension against him in the Big Brother 24 house and asked Alyssa Snider if she knew what was happening. She confessed to Kyle about the allegations of his racially motivated play of the game. Kyle tried to go to the HOH room and speak with Turner but was turned away. Brittany and Michael were already in the HOH room talking with Turner.

Kyle asked Brittany what had been said about me in the house. She was very honest about how bad it looked that he assumed certain houseguests were aligning together just because of race, similar to the Cookout alliance from last season. Kyle also spoke with Monte Taylor, Taylor Hale, and Terrance Higgins about his mistake, and Kyle did apologize for his assumptions and actions.

Turner suggested that a house meeting would be the best next step. Turner and Monte were confused because Michael and Brittany sat on this information about Kyle for 2 weeks rather than blowing the whistle immediately.

Kyle left all his information all on the table. He admitted his ignorance was to blame. Terrance asked Michael and Brittany why they didn’t come clean sooner. Terrance said if he had known this information last week during Dyre Fest, Joseph would have never gone home. Kyle would have been evicted.

Kyle stepped up and apologized to the Big Brother house and told them he was an imperfect person trying to make himself better. He thinks he has a lot of growing to do as a person, which he will focus on in his life.

Week 8 Power of Veto Ceremony

As predicted, Michael used the POV to take Brittany off the block. Turner nominated Kyle in her place for eviction this week. Taylor or Kyle will be evicted this evening.

Kyle and Alyssa spoke and decided that they should no longer be in a relationship. Alyssa said she felt Kyle would ever pick her over himself. She didn’t want to grow old and have babies with someone like that.

Later, Kyle broke down in tears crying to Monte. Kyle said he would never forget the look of disgust Monte and Terrance gave him. This made Monte start crying as well. Kyle took full responsibility for his actions.

In the end, Monte told Kyle was upset by his action, but he still loved him as a person. They hugged it out.

Later in the day, Monte and Taylor had a conversation and agreed that Michael was running away with the $750,000 Big Brother 24 prize. The first chance arises, and they will try to get Michael out of the game.

Week 9 Live Eviction Vote

After Kyle and Taylor gave their last chance speeches, the live voting began. The votes were as follows:

Michael voted to evict Kyle
Alyssa voted to evict Kyle
Terrance voted to evict Kyle
Brittany voted to evict Kyle
Monte voted to evict Kyle

By a vote of 5 to 0, Kyle was evicted from the Big Brother 24 house. During his exit interview with Julie Chen Moonves, Kyle said that despite everything that happened, he is grateful for the opportunity with Big Brother. He did realize how terrible it looked now when he assumed who was aligning in the house. He said he went after Joseph because of his strong alliance with Monte and for no other reason.

Week 9 Head of Household Competition

This competition is called Burning Bot, and Zing Bot will arrive later this evening. First, the houseguests must race to complete a puzzle. The first houseguest to finish their puzzle and hit their buzzer will win the next HOH.

Join us again Sunday evening, September 4, at 8 PM EST for the HOH results.

My Favorite Real Housewives Who Were Only On 1 Season

Sometimes we have Housewives who are “one and done” for a reason. Other times we have Housewives who should have been one and done but for whatever reason they had preferential treatment enough luck on their side to get another season or two.

And then there are the few who were… quirky, or maybe they got under the wrong person’s skin and were not asked to return. Let’s take a look at a few Real Housewives that might be gone, but they certainly aren’t forgotten.

Real Housewives of Orange County – Quinn Fry

Quinn Fry was an enigma, wrapped in younger men and fake hair. This firecracker popped into Real Housewives of Orange County in Season 3 and promptly shared her love of Jesus and a penchant for bleached blonde boy toys who wear an excess of linen. But that’s not all, don’t forget the non-committal golf pro, BILLY. How could one forget Billy and Quinn’s cringeworthy Vegas trip? Quinn brought out her sexy time wig and alternate personality to try and woo Billy into submission, spoiler alert – it didn’t work. Bless dear Quinn, who refused to admit she was over 29 years old and lived in everlasting hope of finding true love. She left after one season but thankfully Quinn reappeared in Season 5 for her most iconic moment. Along with another one of her infamous wiglets, of course. During a classy soiree held at Jeana Keough’s palatial home, Tamra Judge, then Barney, approached an unsuspecting Jeana fully loaded with a glass of red wine and a bone to pick. Quinn stood aside as Tamra screamed at Jeana and launched her meaty cab directly into Jeana’s eyeball. It was a moment true RHOC fans will never forget.

Real Housewives of New York – Jules Wainstein

It’s safe to say poor Jules Wainstein walked directly into a pit of vipers when she joined Real Housewives of New York for the 8th season. She was tall, she had long hair, she was attractive, and she was quite obviously thin. Naturally this placed an immediate target on her back as her co-stars Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill were on a Mean Girl of Epic Proportions 2016 tour. Not only that, her (now ex) husband was a real piece of work too. Jules had eating disorder issues, which she eventually shared with the ladies, who immediately took it upon themselves to be offended by Jules’ struggle. Viewers might also remember when Jules’ father was incredibly ill and she attempted to relay her concerns to Miss Manners Countess Luann de Lesseps whilst vacationing in the Berkshires. Luann could only hear the constant ringing of Bethenny calling her a giant whore repeatedly and completely disregarded Jules’ dismay. Sure, Jules had an odd injury in her vaginal region and called it her pistachio, but we’ve all heard worse things… Unfortunately Jules took it upon herself to talk back to Bethenny at the Season 8 reunion and then we never saw Jules again.

Real Housewives of Atlanta – Claudia Jordan

I personally enjoyed Ms. Claudia Jordan when she came on board Real Housewives of Atlanta in Season 7. By this time, it no longer matters if the Housewives aren’t actually wives or even remotely involved with a significant other. Claudia was friendly with Kenya Moore and didn’t mind receiving information as long as you were willing to receive it back. No one figured that out faster than OG NeNe Leakes during a cast trip to Puerto Rico that went down in shade history. Queen NeNe was used to being the HBIC and Claudia simply was not phased by her greatness. After Claudia suggested NeNe had “ramen noodle hair”, NeNe told Extra TV after Season 7 that she probably wouldn’t be back unless a certain someone — a single cast member who is child-free (Claudia) was fired. And that was the end of Claudia. Allegedly.

Real Housewives of Atlanta – Kim Fields

I know what you’re thinking, Kim Fields wasn’t a great fit for Real Housewives of Atlanta and I agree. But Kim is an extremely successful and well-loved television star and it was such a fantastic get for the show. I had such high hopes that maybe, just maybe, she would have settled in a bit more with a second season. Unfortunately Season 8 of RHOA was, to put it mildly, complete madness. Kim was juggling her two very young children and trying to avoid the MULTIPLE sins that were going on around her at every moment. Her husband, Chris Morgan was christened “Chrissy” by several of her co-stars because he was skilled in musical theater. Kim wanted to lend her directing talents to Cynthia Bailey and her collection of sunglasses, only to be low-key threatened by Cynthia’s scorned BFF Kenya. But the Miami cast trip really shook poor Kim to her core. Being a child actor in the grueling Hollywood scene must have been nothing compared to random basketball players getting drunk and guests being bodily thrown about the living room. After the reunion, Kim quietly packed up her business and went home.

Real Housewives of D.C. – The Entire Damn Cast

Talk about one and done! These ladies basically set fire to the entire show. Real Housewives of DC was one of the more anticipated branches of the franchise. Money, glamour, politics, what more could we ask for? I guess we could have asked for a second season of the show. Unfortunately cast member Michaele Salahi and her… odd husband, Tareq Salahi had to go and blow it for all of us. The series starred Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney, Michaele, and Stacie Scott Turner – but Michaele was definitely the wild card. Her lifestyle seemed almost suspicious and her husband was DEFINITELY suspicious. The Salahis breached a 2009 White House dinner and were asked to leave by security. It caused major problems for Bravo and for the first time in Housewives history, the entire show was axed. Michaele went on to elope with the guitarist from Journey, so I guess things worked out for her in the end.

Meet The Cast Of Survivor 43, Premiering September 21st On CBS!

Hey, Survivor has finally reached my age! The without-a-doubt, greatest Reality TV Competition Show of all time returns this September with it’s 43rd installment! Yes you’ve read that right, non-believers. I am 43…but also, Survivor is still on the air (and holding quite steady in the ratings). Survivor 43 comes at us with a two-hour premiere on Wednesday, September 21st, marking the third season in this “new era” of the game and the 22nd year on CBS (minus the pandemic-gap from 2020 through 2021). Oh it’s still hosted by the venerable Jeff Probst, who has put some wear on those proverbial tires, but who is still simply the best reality host there is (regardless of what the Emmys have to say about it).

CBS has just announced the all-new cast of 18 Sole Survivor hopefuls, and it’s another refreshingly diverse crew. After Season 41 took some getting used to, I found Season 42 to be top-tier…I ranked it as #9 on my “Most Memorable Seasons” list, and its winner, Maryanne Oketch, was one of the most satisfying winners in the show’s long history (see where I ranked her on my “All-Time Survivor Winners List“). You just never know how Survivor is going to reinvent itself, and/or how its players will continue to adapt. But the ongoing experiment continues to fascinate.

Well what can we expect with Survivor 43? It was once again shot in Fiji, like most every recent season has. By CBS‘s count, there have been 646 total castaways with 639 torch snuffs, and the premier episode of Season 43 will be the show’s 621st overall. For comparison, “Gunsmoke” was on TV for 635 episodes, and “Law and Order” was on for nearly 500 episodes. You read that correctly: There are more episodes of “Survivor” than there are “Law and Order.”

The initial CBS press release doesn’t reveal many twists or turns that are planned for this season, but we know that the game will continue with its “new era” format of a 26-day game. The shorter duration than most previous years is made up by the game being played faster, and more extreme than ever before.

House of the Dragon Showrunner Explains His Early Exit From the HBO Series

The Challenge USA: Episode 9 Eliminations

Last week, a Big Brother alumnus was saved from elimination in the game with a stellar performance in the infamous Hall Brawl arena competition. Enzo Palumbo was pitted against Leo Temory from the Amazing Race. Enzo came out on top and saved his game.

Big Brother alumni numbers had been declining for several consecutive weeks. With the save last week, 4 Big Brother alumni are currently left competing in The Challenge USA. Will the Big Brother team be able to all stay in the game this week? Let’s find out now.

Week 9 Main Challenge

This week’s main challenge is called Collect Four, which is the first single female elimination challenge. The competition starts with the players running up into the stands of a stadium and finding their designated color tokens. Once found, they will bring them down and place them on their boards which are similar to BINGO boards. The goal is to collect four tokens in a row.

The catch is that any player can throw down their token on another player’s token to block their path to completion. This will make it much more difficult for the targeted player to complete their board of Collect Four. The players may only bring down only one token at a time.

The first player to collect four tokens in a row wins this competition. The last to finish will be sent to the arena to fight for their lives later in the evening.

Angela Rummans from Big Brother devised a plan to block Sarah Lucina from Survivor. Several players are playing with Angela and scheming against Sarah in this competition. Sarah was not handling this well and kept asking other players to help her block Angela in retaliation.

Angela et al. were successful, and Sarah finished last after being blocked on her game board. She will go into the arena to earn her money and try to save her game.

Danny McCray and Desi Williams from Survivor won the competition. They will ultimately pick who Sarak will face in the arena. Sarah wants to face off against Angela or Alyssa Lopez, both from Big Brother.

Week 9 Arena Competition

This competition is the first female elimination challenge. Sarah lost the main challenge and will play against whomever Danny and Desi chose for her to play against. They chose Cashay Proudfoot from Love Island.

Tonight’s arena competition is called In A Roll. Each player will take off running in what looks like a giant hamster wheel. There are 300 feet of rope attached to their wheel and a ball. The first player to get to the ball first wins that round. The first player with 2 wins will stay in the game while the other will be eliminated.

Sarah won the first round quite easily. Sarah also won the second round, but that win was not so close as the first. Regardless, Sarah was the winner and will stay in the game while Cashay was eliminated.

Big Brother 24 Episode 23 Recap: Michael Saves His Game But Ends Kyle’s?

Matt Turner won his second Head of Household for the Big Brother 24 season. He was literally aligned with every houseguest as he is in the two house alliances, the Leftovers, and the Afterparty. Now, he will have to show his cards when he lands on a final target this week.

He nominated Brittany Hoopes and Taylor Hale from the Leftovers to the block for eviction in the Big Brother 24 house. He blamed the recently evicted Joseph Abdin for these nominations stating that Joe gave him information about their 3-person alliance.  His real target is Michael Bruner, who is a huge threat in the game. Who will win the Power of Veto and save their game?

Week 8 Block Nominations Aftermath

Taylor was devastated over what Turner revealed at the nominations ceremony about why she is on the block. She doesn’t understand why he went to such great lengths to protect her, only to throw her and Brittany under the bus.

Brittany was so upset that she stormed to the HOH room and swore that was a lie. Turner told her to relax because she was not his target this week, and he left it at that.

The Afterparty alliance is pretending to bring Monte Taylor into their game just to keep him close to the vest. Their strong allegiance is to the 4 members of the Afterparty. End of story.

If his plans to backdoor Michael this week doesn’t work out, Turner made sure he was still on good terms with him this week after 2 of his closest allies ended up on the block. Michael followed what Turner was saying but did not feel safe this week.

Week 8 Power of Veto Competition

In addition to Turner, Brittany, and Taylor, Alyssa Snider, Monte, and Michael were picked to play in the POV this week. This means the only houseguests that won’t be playing in this POV competition are Kyle Capener and Terrance Higgins.

Billy Eichner made a video appearance in the Big Brother 24 house to announce his new rom-com movie, Bros. The winner of the POV competition will win a private movie screening with 3 of his closest friends.

This veto competition is called Pride Slide. This is the Big Brother infamous slip and slide competition. Players must transport Bro rosè from one end of the slippery ramp to the other. The first to completely fill their container with rosè wins the golden power of veto. Let’s begin.

Not surprisingly, Michael is off to an early lead in the competition. He has won 4 previous POV competitions. Turner is the only one near him with a remote chance of winning this competition. In the end, Michael won without much of a challenge.

Michael chose to take Alyssa, Turner, and Taylor with him to watch the movie. He wanted to work on cultivating new relationships.

Big Brother Houseguest Brings Serious Matter To Light

Michael and Brittany approached Taylor and Monte with some unnerving information about Kyle. Earlier in the season, Kyle felt there was another cookout 2.0 alliance in the Big Brother house. In response, he suggested that his fellow houseguests come together with their race members to counterbalance their move.

Taylor and Monte really didn’t know how to handle the information. They were visibly upset with this information. They gave their support and approval for Michael and Brittany to share the info with HOH Turner.

Before speaking with Turner, Michael spoke with Kyle’s showmance partner Alyssa. She admitted that she was very confused with the information and was quite speechless.

Last but not least, Michael spoke with Turner about the situation. Turner was glad they came to him with the info.

Meanwhile, Kyle suspected something was up in the Big Brother house. He went to Alyssa, and she told him what was happening with the current situation and accusations. He broke down in the diary room.

Footage from the house meeting will be shown in the next episode. Please join us tomorrow, Thursday, September 1, at 9 PM EST.

Real Housewives Alum Kelly Dodd Says She Is Launching A Podcast With Vicki Gunvalson

The lives of Kelly Dodd and Vicki Gunvalson have significantly changed now that they aren’t Housewives. The two were fired from the Real Housewives of Orange County after both faced significant controversies. On and off the screen. And since Vicki’s onscreen (only) bestie Tamra Judge was asked back to RHOC, I’m sure Vicki is feeling the desperate need to be relevant again. So who can help with her that? I guess the answer it Kelly.

Kelly already has a podcast with husband Rick Leventhal. I’m not really sure how successful it is, but I’m going to guess not very. Yes, I know Kelly has fans. But are they really out there listening to what these two have to say? Doubtful. And how successful could it be given that she just announced on the show that she’s starting another podcast with Vicki? Yep. You heard right – Kelly and Vicki are starting a podcast. Or so Kelly says.

During an episode of her show, Unmasked, Kelly shared the news. Fan account The Real Housewives Zone reposted the clip for us. Kelly began, “[Vicki] said she wanted to do a do a show with me. And I said, ‘yeah that would be great.’ And you know, we were thinking about names…” Rick, who is off camera, interrupted her to say, “Don’t say it. Don’t say it yet. Keep it a secret.”

Kelly confirmed, “I’m not going to say it. So you guys can maybe write maybe what you think would be a good show.” Rick jumped in to hype up the un-hypeable news and said, “But this is breaking news. You’re going to do another podcast, this time with Vicki. You and Vicki together.” Kelly responded, “Yes.” Rick added, “It’s going to be awesome.” And Kelly concluded, “It’s going to be great.”

While Kelly and Rick think it might be great, commenters did not. One user wrote of a possible name for the show, “Is it called Desperate and Problematic?” That comment racked up almost 300 likes. Another commenter noted, “Oh good Vicki’s third failed podcast.” Finally, one user commented a simple, “Barf.”

MTV’s Floribama Shore Canceled After 4 Seasons

It’s time to say goodbye to the cast of Floribama Shore as MTV officially announced the show would not be returning for a fifth season.

The show which first aired in 2017 as a successor to MTV’s wildly successful Jersey Shore lasted for 4 seasons and featured a lot of drama, fights, emotional moments, and so much more. Yes, everything we want and NEED in a reality show. The cast featured Jeremiah Buoni, Kortni Gilson (seasons 1-3), Aimee Hall, Codi Butts, Kirk Medas, Nilsa Prowant, Candace Rice, and Gus Smyrnios as they took on different parts of Florida such as Panama City Beach and St. Pete Beach. The format of the fourth season shifted a little as they dealt with the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic which caused them to shoot in Arizona, Montana, and Georgia.

Although the reason for the cancelation is unknown, it’s been reported that many of the cast members were confused by this news from the network as they were all present for the filming of cast member Nilsa’s wedding.

This show truly is something special. The many characters and their many personalities are just fascinating to watch. And on top of that, they understand the assignment. We’ve seen the cast physically fighting on the street with different bargoers and getting arrested. Aimee took viewers on her journey of anger management (after assaulting a few of her co-stars). Candace and Kirk are sure to pop off if you come at them the wrong way. And the biggest blowup of them all — Jeremiah vs. Gus.

These two were the best of friends in and outside of the house. They vacationed together, spent a lot of time together, they even considered each other to be real-life brothers. So close that Gus stayed with Jeremiah and his family for a period of time when he needed it the most. So for these two to not only fall out over a misunderstanding (everything is blurred when alcohol is involved) but to physically fight for not one but two seasons with each other — oh, they had viewers tuned in.

Never say never is the reality tv motto. We’ve seen shows come back after years of being off the air — just look at Jersey Shore Family Vacation. So, it’s possible that after a quick reset, some time off, and re-imagining the show in a different way, we could very well see this group reunited again at some point down the road.

Below Deck Mediterranean Recap: The Ballad Of Pancake Nipple Frank

It’s a new day on Below Deck Mediterranean. And Natalya Scudder is finally ready to talk through her truly out-of-nowhere tantrum with Storm Smith. In fact, she’s actually ready to put the whole thing behind her. Or is it more like sweeping it under the rug? Either way, the second stew is over it. And the (provisional) bosun is more than happy to move on as well and chalk the whole thing up to a bad night. But something tells me Natalya’s outburst is more of an emotionally hazardous red flag than either of them wants to admit.

No More Mr. Nice Chef

Instead, it’s time to focus on charter number four. Which is starting in, oh, a matter of hours. Though after the preference sheet meeting, Natasha Webb tries to test the waters with Chef Dave White. And let’s just say she doesn’t get the response she wants out of her former paramour. Dave’s reached the end of his rope when it comes to being manipulated and jerked around by Natasha. And finally, he’s standing up for himself. Of course, the chief stew takes not being fawned over as a personal affront. But not even her best wounded face sways Dave. He’s officially finished with her and will communicate on a curt, professional basis.

Of course, this is the perfect time for Captain Sandy Yawn to interrupt and put herself right in the middle of the former couple’s drama. And naturally, Natasha‘s done everything she can to skew the captain’s perspective on the situation in her favor. It’s all been a “woe is me” sob story ever since she met with Sandy in the wheelhouse. So Captain Sandy’s already been primed to see Dave‘s boundaries as “tension.” But I say good for him for standing his ground. Sandy says she wants them to be professional. Which was the point Dave was originally making anyway, so…

To Bowline Or Knot To Bowline?

Jason Gaskell has quite a rough start to this charter. And his problems begin when the 500-pound waterslide is dropped off on the dock. Getting the monstrosity onto the boat without, like, literally breaking the tender proves to be a conundrum for the deck crew. But for some reason Storm isn’t all that open to hearing any of Jason’s suggestions. Then the deckhand starts clashing with his new boss even more once the guests arrive. First he advises Storm to “do less” as they’re loading the guests’ luggage onto the boat. Huh?

But Jason takes it to a whole other level when it comes time to put the slide over the side of the boat. And it all comes down to a bowline. Or something other than a bowline, according to Storm. But Jason insists he tied a normal bowline, OK?? And the two get into a terse war of words that ends with the deckhand tell his boss to “f–k off.” Uh..not a great choice of words, Jase. Then he follows that performance up with completely ignoring Storm’s instructions while the deck team tries to bring the trampoline in. Like, Storm, Mzi Dempers and Courtney Veale are all calling his name and he chooses to swim off in the other direction. Jason’s definitely going to a problem on deck moving forward.

To Be Frank…

The new round of charter guests seem to be a gaggle of New York gays with the requisite sister of the primary. And from the moment they step on board, Kyle Viljoen is living his full flirtatious fantasy. He particularly takes a liking to a tall, skinny, 37-year-old twunk named Frank. And it quickly becomes apparent that the attraction seems to be mutual. We’ve seen all season that Kyle has no problem crossing the line of professionalism with guests. But this time he tells Natasha he may be ready to pack his bags if Frank’s open to crossing some other lines that have heretofore gone unexplored between stew and guest this season.

The flirting between Kyle and Frank is quietly incessant. Whether they’re mumbling about each other’s white teeth by the bar. Or bantering as the deckhand serves lunch in front of the whole group. We’re frankly (pun intended) well past unprofessional. But Kyle knows it and owns it.He even says so in his confessional. I mean, Kyle literally decides to sit down with the guests and gossip on his break in full view of the rest of the crew. It’s almost like he’s planning on purposely getting in trouble.

A Disastrous Wine Pairing

For dinner the first night, there’s a major miscommunication between service and the galley. The guests have requested an around-the-world menu featuring each course from a different country. So Chef Dave goes with a street food theme to keep things consistent and wants to serve everything buffet style all at the same time. But Natasha wants to make things just a little fancier, and decides to do a wine or shot pairing with each course. This throws a major curveball in the dinner plans. And in Dave’s timing in the kitchen. So much for keeping things professional, hmm?

Initially, Dave goes along with Natasha‘s insistence in serving the meal course by course. But the idea quickly creates problems as he’s trying to keep his one-bite wonder foods that have already cooked properly heated, fresh and not dried out. All for a wine pairing the guests didn’t ask for! Next thing we know, courses are going out in a different order than they appear on the menu. The American sliders get mixed up with the Chinese bao buns. And while the food is good, the train is pretty much off the tracks by that point. Even Kyle, Natasha’s number one yes man, starts to agree with Dave that this was a bad idea. And in the middle of the chaos, the episode abruptly ends, forcing us to wait another week to see if this culinary trip around the world can be salvaged.

TELL US – DO YOU SEE RED FLAGS IN NATALYA AND STORM’S BOATMANCE? ARE YOU TEAM NATASHA OR TEAM DAVE? SHOULD JASON HAVE BEEN REPRIMANDED FOR HIS INSUBORDINATION? AND WILL KYLE RISK HIS JOB TO HOOK UP WITH FRANK?
