Survivor 43 Finale Episode Recap: The Greatest Move In Survivor History

“Expect the unexpected” is usually the go-to phrase of Big Brother, but it sure can be applied to what was a wild, emotional finish to Survivor 43.

Heading into Wednesday’s three-hour Finale, it was Jesse‘s game to lose. He had been the season’s puppet-master, its “silent assassin,” and had just pulled one of the biggest moves of the season in blindsiding his ride-or-die, Cody (while also flushing two Idols from the game). He did all that in plain sight of the jury, and his credentials sky-rocketed. In terms of his “Survivor Resumé,” Jesse was nearly over-qualified to be the Sole Survivor. Best of all, he headed into the Finale with a hidden Idol still in his possession, one that guaranteed his spot at Final Four and ensured he could not be voted out of the game. He was either going to be the clear winner, as one of the Final Three that would get to address the final jury, or he was going to go out after losing a fire-making challenge. Jesse – a reformed gang member who wore his heart on his sleeve this season, especially when discussing his family back home – just had one fire-making challenge between himself and a million bucks.

Karla was the night’s first victim…a woman who represented such awesomeness all season long, who a few short weeks ago seemed to have the game wrapped around her stitched-up finger. Owen had won his third challenge of the season, and Jesse still could have won the final Immunity Challenge to land himself in the Final Three. But it was Cassidy who took home the most important challenge of the season, her third win as well. There was no way in hell that she was going to bring Jesse to the end, and she ultimately decided to take the hapless underdog Owen – this season’s “Charlie Brown” – with her to the end. That meant that Jesse would need to win the fire-making challenge against…hmmm…wait…who’s left? We have Cassidy, Owen, Jesse and…

…Gabler! Sorry, I didn’t see him there for a moment (he was hiding in plain sight!). Gabler, the real underdog of the season in that no one gave him a real chance at winning. He could have been his tribe’s first boot, and instead, he found himself all the way at Final Four, and nary one vote had been cast against him all season. Impressive. Cassidy underestimated Gabler, thinking that even if he were to beat Jesse at fire, Gabler wouldn’t stand a good chance at beating her. The viewers knew the great, under-the-radar yet highly-influential game that Gabler had played, but had the jury seen it?

Not only did Gabler win the fire-making challenge, he set a new record for the fastest-ever to finish it (just four minutes and nine seconds). Jesse never had a chance. And just like that, the game slipped through Jesse’s fingers. The viewing audience let out a collective gasp, and if you’re anything like me, you hadn’t even really considered that another contestant could win.

Jesse was given his props, complete with sad music in the background. He became overcome with emotion, and it permeated through the screen and all over Tribal Council. Jesse left it all out on the field. He should be proud. I know his family and his children must be.

Now normally, as a Survivor-fanatic but also as someone who writes about the show and has for 23 seasons, I’m always calculating – subconsciously, but also consciously sometimes – how good is this season? How does it stack up to past seasons? One benchmark that I always have used is that a Survivor season is only as great as its winner. The winner, sometimes, can make a good season great, or a bad season better. Conversely, a mediocre winner can knock a great season down a peg or two, or make a good season feel like a giant disappointment. The minute that Gabler won the fire-making challenge and after it dawned on me that Jesse was not going to win, I had figured that whatever ends up happening next, Survivor 43 just went down a notch. Don’t get me wrong, I really liked Gabler, Cassidy and Owen…there have been worse Final Threes. But I just felt, in that moment, that there could have been no more satisfying a winner than Jesse for Survivor 43. Anything less was going to be a let-down.

Boy was I wrong.

After one of the least bitter and most thoughtful final juries in recent memory, Gabler became the winner of Season 43. The Sole Survivor. Mike Gabler, who at 51-years-young, is now the second-oldest Survivor Winner in history (the title of oldest still belongs to Survivor: Gabon winner, Bob Crowley, who won Season 17 at the age of 57). Perhaps most impressively, Gabler fell just one winning vote shy of the coveted “Survivor Perfect Game,” which means that a player wins the game without ever having a vote cast against them, and then wins by unanimous vote. The final vote tally was seven for Gabler, with James casting the lone vote for Cassidy (poor Owen finished with zero). The “Survivor Perfect Game” has only happened twice in 43 seasons (J.T. Thomas in Survivor: Tocantins and John Cochran in Survivor: Caramoan…with Survivor: Cambodia‘s winner Jeremy Collins carrying an asterisk by his name, as technically he had three votes against him that were voided by a hidden Immunity Idol). Gabler is now the fourth winner to fall just short of the “Survivor Perfect Game” by just one vote (having Sandra Diaz-Twine, Tom Westman and Earl Cole as company is quite an impressive feat).

He’s been quite the character to root for all season, but what came after his win was what left me speechless, and yes, in tears. Gabler, the heart valve specialist from Meridian, Idaho, pledged to donate his ENTIRE million dollar winnings to Veterans In Need Foundation, given in honor of his own father, who was a green beret. There was no doubt in his declaration, no second-guessing. It brought the house down and even Jeff Probst got emotional. To know that there is goodness in the world – and to find this out while watching a show normally associated with lying, betrayal and back-stabbing – was re-affirming. There are not too many people that would do what Gabler decided to do, but to know that a person like Gabler even exists is inspirational.

Cody called Gabler‘s decision, “The Greatest Move In Survivor History,” and I’d have to whole-heartedly agree.

Wiping the tears away and continuing with this Recap, the instant Tribal Council after-party that followed Gabler‘s win and big announcement gave us many memorable moments. Cody has forgiven Jesse and they are forever going to be close friends. We learned that you can once again bid on several items from the show at SurvivorAuctions.com, and apparently you can say whatever you’d like to Jeff Probst‘s staff of interns by emailing your thoughts to SurvivorShoutOut@gmail.com. We got our first look at the next season, Survivor 44, which premieres on March 1st, 2023. It looks bananas, with a medical situation and some truly eccentric personalities (one dude was going on and on about how excited he was to poop in the ocean). We’ll regroup and do it all again starting next March.

Survivor 43 really was one of the nicest casts I can remember. There were zero sour grapes and only love and admiration in abundance. Here I thought there couldn’t possibly be a better winner than Jesse, and then the Ali-Gabler popped his head out of the shallow water and completely took me by surprise. In these tumultuous times, Survivor 43’s end felt like a much-needed gift…an inspirational jolt of goodness that I didn’t know I needed.

Ultimately, this was another great cast…if nothing else, the “new era” of Survivor that started last Fall is marked by its tremendous casting. But how good was this season – or should I say – how “memorable” will it be as time goes by? And where does Gabler rank on my list of all-time Survivor Winners? You may be very, very surprised by my answers. Look for my two season-ending lists posting soon: “Most Memorable Survivor Seasons” and “All-Time Survivor Winners,” updated through Survivor 43.

A big thank you to all of you whom follow, comment, like and share this Survivor column. Another big, big shout-out to Erik Reichenbach, for contributing to these pages such fantastic artwork this and every season of Survivor. Erik is such a talented guy, and if you didn’t know you can help support him and take home some of his amazing artwork on his site, Dabudoodles.com. I suggest you check it out. So thanks, Erik! For all of you, Erik’s final piece of the season will show below (if you don’t see it, that means that it will be added shortly, so check back!):

I hope everyone enjoyed this season as much as I did…we’ll be back in the Spring!

Below Deck Star Kate Chastain Is Pregnant With Her First Child!

These days it seems news is either bad, weird, or crazy, so an opportunity to report something positive is an absolute delight. I do love an unexpected announcement and Below Deck alum Kate Chastain is coming in hot with some very good info.

It looks like the former Chief Stew is about to upgrade to Chief Mom and a whole new world of table design just opened up for Kate. After keeping mum (pun intended) on the subject, congratulations must be extended because Kate is filled up with a kiddo. Someone needs to make a Baby Aboard instead of Baby on Board sign for Kate’s car.

People confirmed Kate’s announcement via her Instagram on Deecember 13, 2022. She posted a darling selfie with her little bump just hanging out and wrote, “I’m already planning so many birthday theme parties for you…”

Kate has neither confirmed the gender of the baby or the father, which is fine because it’s none of our damn business. She has previously spoken of wanting children in the past and considers this pregnancy a “dream come true.” Kate explained she has two shows in production, “Below Deck Galley Talk” on Bravo and “The Traitors” on Peacock – and she wanted to break the news before anyone decided to conjure up some salacious rumors.

“This is such a new and special experience, so I’m really being protective of what I share publicly. There’s just no hiding my baby bump any longer, “ Kate explained. Yes, pregnancy is that one condition where it will eventually give you away unless you have perfected the fine art of layering baggy clothing.

It appears many people were already in the loop, as Kate received numerous messages of congratulations from co-stars and other Bravolebs on social media. It looks like Kate is due to deliver around May 2023, which means she was preggo at BravoCon and kept it completely quiet.

Congratulations to Kate and I’m sure we all wish her health and happiness. We already know with her towel folding skills, she will be swaddling that baby like a champ!

Lisa Hochstein Says She Could “Never” Go Back To Lenny Hochstein; Says “He’s Done So Many Horrible Things”

If you happened to tune in to the first four episodes of Real Housewives of Miami, you are probably still shook. In the most recent episode, Dr. Lenny Hochstein, husband/boob god/alleged cheater, was caught on a hot mic moment. It rivaled and dare I say, surpassed the drama of Lisa Barlow’s infamous hot mic tirade.

While his wife and RHOM cast member Lisa Hochstein mingled through the party they were throwing at their mansion, Lenny was in another room confessing his affair to a friend. He knew he was mic’d, but thought whispering would cover up his convo. The short story is that he told his friend that he wanted to divorce Lisa, that he has another woman in his life, and Lisa has no clue. What a guy! It’s almost like he wanted to get caught…

Naturally, Lisa has been devastated since the news came out in the press. It’s also how she found out Lenny wanted a divorce. But as crushed as she is, Lisa is determined NOT to mend things with her now estranged husband. She recently sat down with People and told them why she’s done with him for good. Said Lisa, “I could never go back. He’s done so many horrible things to me — too much has been said and too much has been done — that any chance of a reconciling is gone in my mind. I have no hopes of getting back together. That ship has sailed.”

When it comes to their messy divorce, Lisa noted that “it’s an ongoing battle.” She added, “It’s been really ugly and really nasty. And unfortunately, the press has gotten hold of so many of these motions so we haven’t been able to keep things private. It’s just humiliating.”

The 40-year-old mom of two continued, “We haven’t gotten to discussions of custody, support — none of that. Every day, I can feel the anger and hate between Lenny and I growing on both sides. It just get worse and worse, which worries me because I don’t know how we’ll ever find peace if it stays like this,” she added.

Of course, Lenny has denied pretty much everything Lisa has said about the situation. He claimed to People, “It’s turned nasty and ugly, but not because of anything I’ve done.”

Lenny continued, “My goal for all of this was to try to keep it private. I’ve done everything I could to make it that way, but her attorney is just trying to delay things. We had a filing on Friday that says so far, Lisa hasn’t produced anything for us to be able to move forward. I believe Lisa’s friends are giving her advice that everything should be a battle, so it’s really not up to me,” he added.

He went even further, stating, “From Day 1, I tried everything I could to make Lisa’s transition as comfortable as possible. I’ve moved out of the house, I’ve paid for every single bill; never cried about it ’cause it’s my duty. I offered to buy a beautiful condo, I offered a settlement that was twice what I’m obliged to based upon our prenuptial agreement, and she turned all of that down and has tried to battle everything little thing which is definitely not our preference,” Lenny stated. “I wanted to try to do the best I could to make everything easier for her. But I don’t feel like she’s done the same.”

Now would be the time where I remind everyone that Lenny tried to kick Lisa, the mother of his children, out of their house. It looks like this will also play out on this season of RHOM.

As previously mentioned, Lisa found out about Lenny leaving her in the press. At the same time, he admitted that he was in a full on other relationship with model Katharina Mazepa. Katharina, who is 29 years younger than the aging plastic surgeon, maintained that Lisa knew about their relationship. To which I say, “Girl, please.”

Said Lisa of the affair, “It was just devastating. I’ve been with Lenny since I was 25 years old. Almost my whole adult life, pretty much. So to lose this person who I loved so much is just crushing.” Lisa continued, “I’ve cried myself to sleep so many times during this time, just praying to God that we’ll get through this and can be friends, especially for the sake of the kids.”

RELATED: Dr. Lenny Hochstein’s Girlfriend’s Restraining Order Has Been Dismissed

Lenny and Katharina have since moved in together and Lisa remains at their 20,000-square-foot Miami mansion with their two kids. “We’re just winging it because we’re trying to keep the kids as happy as possible. The kids have always been my focus,” Lisa noted. “I want them to have a normal, happy life. But my heart breaks for them. I never thought Lenny and I wouldn’t be together ’til the end.”

She continued, “I never envisioned I’d be a single mom. I always envisioned the things we would do with our kids together, like our family vacations, Christmases, movie nights, etc.,” Lisa shared. She went on to say, “Hopefully, one day, this won’t be so messy and we can be amicable, for the children’s sake.”

Lisa explained, “Family life is always what I wanted. I struggled with infertility; it took us so long to get here and now that we’re here, he’s leaving. And there’s nothing I can do to fix it,” she stated.

As for moving forward, Lisa admitted, “I’ve had so much anxiety, I don’t think I’ll ever truly recover from this. I just want to be myself again. I just want to be happy.” She continued, “I would love to find happiness again, I would love to have a family again. I would love to be married again, I want to have a family unit, I want to have love in my life.” Lisa added, “But after what happened with Lenny, it’s hard to even imagine trusting someone again.”

The RHOM star then concluded, “I was loyal to him for 15 years. I was always his biggest supporter, biggest fan. We build this life together… a business… a family. Now, it’s all gone.” Lisa said, “It shocks me how people can change like this. I mean, this is not the person I was married to. He feels like a stranger. Like I was sleeping with the enemy. And if someone can do that to you after all that time, how will I ever know someone else won’t do that?” she commented.

Bachelor In Paradise Stars Serene Russell And Brandon Jones Discuss Life Following Their Engagement

Fans of Brandon Jones and Serene Russell will be happy to know that the couple is still going strong following their engagement on the season finale of Bachelor in Paradise.

“Every day has been a journey, like something new every day,” Serene told People. Even though her fiancé jokingly shot back, “I’m so sick of that word, ‘journey!'” Brandon admitted to enjoying his life with Serene. “No, every day, it’s been great,” he stated.

The Portland native says that he and Serene are experiencing “a whole new learning experience,” through which they are “growing closer.”

Arguably BIP Season 8’s cutest and most drama-free couple, Serene and Brandon are relishing being able to go out in public together and no longer having to keep their relationship a secret.

Serene admitted to having difficulty with the secrecy while the show was still airing. “We just moved in together in San Diego and so, you know, we were like under wraps,” she said. “I was just like getting the apartment ready and like trying to sneak around so no one would see me.”

Brandon added, “We were wearing wigs and everything like that, trying to sneak out to dinner and stuff. So it’s been fun, it’s been exciting.”

Even though it was exciting at the time, Brandon was relieved to be done with the hiding and sneaking around. He compared being a public couple to the feeling of being able to loosen your belt after Thanksgiving dinner. “And you’re like, ‘Ahhh,'” Brandon said. “We can finally relax and be ourselves. Yeah, so it’s been good.”

The new couple are also enjoying time with their families during the holidays. They had a “wonderful” Thanksgiving in Oklahoma with Serene‘s family, and will soon travel to Oregon for a Jones family Christmas.

Serene also shared that no serious wedding planning has begun. “We’re enjoying the engagement right now,” Brandon said.

Serene previously told People, “We’ve landed on 2024, and we’re starting to think what time of year we want to get married in, what kind of wedding we like, do we want it more in the day or at night?” She added, “We’re starting to have these fun little conversations.”

As one of the calmest, most stable couples to come out of BIP 2022, I’m really happy to hear that Brandon and Serene are making plans together, enjoying each other’s company and just doing “normal” couple things. I wish them nothing but happiness in their life together.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK BRANDON AND SERENE ARE A GOOD COUPLE? DO YOU SEE THEM STAYING TOGETHER FOR LONG-TERM? OR DO YOU SEE THEM EVENTUALLY GOING THEIR OWN WAYS?

Melissa Gorga Has “Hope” Watching Season 13 Of Real Housewives Of New Jersey Will Help Her And Teresa Giudice; Co-Stars Disagree

Melissa Gorga reveals her hopes that Season 13 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey will help her and Teresa Giudice mend their broken relationship. The pair have been in an intense fight since their forthcoming season was airing, and by the sounds of it, things were heated between the two families.

When asked what makes this upcoming season different, Melissa told US Weekly, “Unfortunately, you’re gonna feel like it’s the beginning all over again. That’s what’s unfortunate about it,” she added.

Earlier seasons of RHONJ featured a lot of family drama between Joe Gorga, Joe Giudice, Teresa, and Melissa. Physical fights, verbal insults, and estrangement. Viewers should buckle up because it sounds like we’re set to go down that road again.

The family’s fighting has gotten so bad recently that not only was the RHONJ panel split in two at BravoCon, but they are also having separate holiday parties this year. Melissa revealed, “There will be sprinkle cookies everywhere.”

Even though we have several weeks until the new season airs, Melissa said she’s hopeful about the newest season potentially bringing them back together. “I always hope it’s gonna help and I truly do from all angles, but sometimes it doesn’t because we end up on that couch in the reunion wanting to go crazy,” she explained.

Jackie Goldschneider, another Jersey Housewife who knows a thing or two about fighting with Teresa, said she’s sure season 13 will not fix the beef between Teresa and Melissa.

RELATED: Melissa Gorga Calls Luis Ruelas “Confusing” After He Calls Joe Gorga A “Good Human Being”

“No, I can say with 100 percent confidence, no matter how bad the fighting in the season is, it’s worse when you’re watching it back and all the social media fighting goes on. Social media is a disaster,” Jackie stated.

I would have to agree. Social media has really put some Housewives in a very bad spot, and some just don’t care. At this point, we know the Giudice’s unfollowed the Gorgas.

Melissa said their newest fight is a “slow burn,” while her bestie, Margaret Josephs, agreed.

“I never thought it was going to explode the way that it did. I think that we have some new ladies on the cast that bring some great moments,” Margaret said.  She continued, “And I think that’s really what makes [season 13] different. I think our cast has been so amazing. The last few years we haven’t had any change.” Margaret added, “And I think adding the new ladies into the mix brings a new perspective.”

I can’t wait. I’m always excited for RHONJ to air because their cast does the best with concealing the season’s stories and protecting the tea from spilling. That always makes my viewing experience much more pleasurable.

Lisa Hochstein Says Lenny Hochstein’s Request For A Divorce “Was A Knife To The Heart”

The Real Housewives of Miami Season 5 has just launched on Peacock, and it is everything. Not only are the ladies clocked in and ready to go, we KNOW that we’re getting one of the most intense Bravo divorces ever when it comes to Lenny Hochstein and Lisa Hochstein.

When talking about the day Lenny asked the RHOM star for a divorce, she told People, “It was a knife to the heart.”

“My life changed completely in the blink of an eye — and I didn’t see it coming whatsoever,” she said. Fans familiar with the show could probably see this coming. Lenny wasn’t very affectionate towards Lisa during Season 4, so seeing the headlines that he had a girlfriend while still married was not a shocker at all.

“I still can’t wrap my brain around the day he told me he wanted out,” Lisa said, which apparently happened a few days after the couple filmed an event for RHOM. “We were sleeping in the same bed for the last 15 years up until that day he told dropped the bomb on me. And now, suddenly, he wanted out? I felt so blindsided,” Lisa added.

There’s an intense hot-mic moment that happens at the end of episode 4, where Lenny spills the beans to his friend about wanting to separate from Lisa. Clearly, I wasn’t there, but I’m curious if Lisa really was as blindsided as she says she was. I mean, Lenny is NO Mauricio Umansky here, but still. No idea at all?

Lisa said, “He wasn’t sympathetic or empathetic at all about it either.” She continued, “It wasn’t a, ‘Let’s sit down and have a talk. I’m sorry that this isn’t what I want anymore.’ It was a cold, ‘I’m going to start dating, whether you like it or not,’ basically. It was completely shocking and devastating.” Lisa added, “I just couldn’t believe that the man I had been with for this long was treating me this way.”

RELATED: The Real Housewives Of Miami Cast Share Their Thoughts On Lisa Hochstein And Lenny Hochstein’s Divorce

Lisa said that she was committed to working on issues with Lenny to ensure they were in a better place for the sake of their children. “Obviously, anyone can see watching the episodes that our marriage wasn’t in the best place,” she explained to People. “But I was trying to be a great wife and trying my hardest to make us strong again.”

The RHOM star stated, “I was cooking his favorite meals, creating happy memories with our kids — anything I could do to repair it. So it wasn’t that I was ignoring our problems, I was just desperately trying to fix this. And the best I could just wasn’t good enough for him,” she added.

It pains me to hear her say this because she is not the cause of Lenny being unfaithful. That’s something he has to work out between himself and a therapist. In the meantime, Lisa, we got you! The fans are watching and already having a field-day with Lenny and his side-chick on social media. This is your year, and I’m here for it.

Taylor Armstrong Dishes On The Upcoming Season Of Real Housewives Of Orange County; Teases “New Drama For Me”

Taylor Armstrong, the first Housewife to transition from one franchise to another, is dishing all about the newest season of the Real Housewives of Orange County, and whew, y’all, it sounds juicy!

Fans haven’t seen Taylor appear on the Real Housewives franchise since her seasons on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Taylor appeared as a full-time Housewife until she departed from the series at the end of Season 3.

Now that she’s back in the Housewives world, she told Life & Style there’s “a lot of backside drama” in her newest reality television venture.

“A lot of beefs need to unravel,” Taylor stated. “I kind of watch it like [the fans] do, but I hope they’ll enjoy my participation and a bit of new drama for me, of course,” she said.

Fans were extremely excited to hear of Taylor’s jump from RHOBH to RHOC. It’s something new for the franchise, and if done well, could be something we see a lot more of.

Although she appeared on Season 2 of the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, that was a limited series that didn’t allow viewers to see where Taylor is today. In season two of RHOBH, Taylor and the rest of the cast dealt with the aftermath of Russell Armstrong’s tragic suicide. Before that, Taylor would share publicly that Russell had been abusive in their marriage.

Life & Style reported that Taylor opened up about the abuse in her marriage during an episode of Housewife to Housewife with Jill Zarin. “Having the cameras around made me feel more protected in my marriage and all of the violence that was going on in my life.”

Over ten years later, Taylor is back on reality television and showing viewers what she’s been up to since making the move to Orange County from the 90210.

“All the Beverly Hills girls are my family, and the Orange County girls are new to me. So, I’m really just getting to find out how to fit into a new genre and a new way of life,” she explained. “My parents have lived in Orange County since I was 17, so it’s not a new home turf for me, but it’s definitely a new cast vibe,” Taylor stated. “So I’m excited to see how the viewers feel about that.”

I don’t know about everybody else, but I’m definitely excited to see this crossover. Bravo is like the gift that keeps on giving. New casts, rebooted shows, an “all-stars” version of the Housewives but in RHUGT form? C’mon! I’m living for this. And Taylor, you spiced it up on season 2 of Ultimate Girls Trip so I can’t wait to see what you bring to RHOC.

Jenna Lyons Was “Surprised” By Lizzy Savetsky’s Real Housewives of New York Exit

This new rebooted version of the Real Housewives of New York will be good, but nowhere near as good as it would have been with our original NY cast. After hearing about Lizzy Savetsky’s shady exit from the newly re-cast RHONY, Jenna Lyons, another cast member, gave her perspective on the situation.

“I think everyone was surprised,” she told Page Six. “I think, you know, it’s a complicated situation, but I’m really, like, for sure [wishing] the best [for her.]”

Hmm. What complicated situation could she be talking about here? After reports started to break that Lizzy would exit the series due to the anti-Semitic hate she received, she took to Instagram to confirm the news herself.

“Unfortunately, from the time of my announcement in the cast, I was on the receiving end of a torrent of anti-Semitic attacks. As this continued, I realized that this path was no longer right for me and my family,” she wrote. A Bravo spokesperson also commented, “After thoughtful consideration and discussion with Lizzy, we have reached the mutual conclusion that Lizzy will not be a cast member on RHONY.”

Shortly after Lizzy’s exit was confirmed, another report came out that detailed Lizzy and her husband, Dr. Ira Savetsky’s, alleged involvement in a behind-the-scenes moment that involved racist language and another cast member. Last season on RHONY, Ramona Singer was accused of using alleged racist language. An investigation cleared Ramona. I’m sure Bravo can’t have another situation like this on their hands.

Consequently, that’s when conversations surrounding the couple’s exit began. Despite their boot from the show, Lizzy has been keping Bravo fans up to date by letting them know how she’s been coping over the last several weeks.

“Things that help me when I’m feeling dark: Prayer- just talking out loud to G-d and asking for strength in the face of things I can’t control,” she said in her Instagram Story. “Meditation- pausing to focus on gratitude and open my heart to understand my fellow humans.” Lizzy also said “talking it out,” or even “helping someone else.”

Although they won’t be filming together any time soon, Jenna said, “It’s actually been really fun. The crew is incredible. The women are amazing.” She added, “I’ve been having a great time. … I was a little nervous, obviously, but it’s been great.”

Bethenny Frankel Calls Jeff Lewis Bitter For Being Fired From Bravo During WWHL

Bethenny Frankel’s Watch What Happens Live appearance recently caused quite a stir among Bravo fans. The former Real Housewives of New York City star sat down with Andy Cohen and Jeff Lewis to discuss her newest podcast, ReWives, and to spill some piping hot tea. It’s been a minute since she was last on WWHL.

It started off intense. Andy and Bethenny immediately went at it on WWHL, addressing the things Bethenny has said since she left the show in 2019. After a heated back-and-forth moment about her new business venture, Jeff chimed in, seemingly being shady. Jeff said, “No one has a recap show for Housewives,” Page Six reported.

His comment hit like shade, and Bethenny took it as shade as well.

Bethenny reiterated that her new podcast differs from other shows like Two T’s In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge because she “wasn’t let go by Bravo.” She was also sure to let Jeff know that she is not a “disgruntled employee.”

Uh, oh. You’ve woken up the beast, Jeff. Bethenny is an OG Housewife and the fans love her. Mainly because she knows how to go there when prompted. Give us a show, B! We miss you!

After letting the audience know that she was not fired and in fact, chose to walk away from RHONY both times, Jeff admitted that he was “fired” from his Bravo show, Flipping Out. Bethenny stated, “Right, and that’s why you’re so bitter.”

RELATED: Andy Cohen Dishes On Why Bethenny Frankel Returning To The Real Housewives Wouldn’t “Make Sense”

“No I’m not bitter at all. I landed in a better place,” Jeff explained. “That’s what they all say,” Bethenny shot back –clearly annoyed.

“No, I really did, like, I’m happy,” Jeff said. After a moment, Jeff added, “Wow, someone is so defensive.”

Bethenny has been in defense mode for the last several weeks after announcing her new podcast. She’s been dragged by Luann de Lesseps, Andy, Jeff, and some fans about her choice to link herself to the Real Housewives franchise after bashing it for years.

Personally, I think Bethenny has every right to share her perspective in this new show. She did live it and it’s her story. And let’s be honest, most Bravo fans LOVE Bethenny. She’s asked back on RHONY after every season. That alone proves her impact.

Anyway, I’ll be listening and cheering you on, B! I Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Why Family Karma Is The Most Wholesome Show On Bravo

It’s now considered a treat when a Bravo show doesn’t revolve around throwing wine glasses across a table or the crew of a yacht isn’t making sure their blood alcohol content is straight vodka. Sometimes the network throws us a bone with a new series that features other cultures.

Family Karma premiered in March of 2020 and had a pretty good first season. It doesn’t receive the promotion like a Real Housewives show, but it made it to Season 2 and counted it as a win. Despite Covid disrupting the entire world, Family Karma returned for Season 3 and it just might be the most uplifting show Bravo currently has on their programming schedule. Time to review just why Family Karma should be on your play list, and why it’s the most wholesome show on Bravo.

The Cast Actually Knows Each Other

Unlike a lot of the programs we watch, this cast wasn’t thrown together in a quick effort to push out content. Cameras follow several multi-generational families originally from India who are living in Florida and navigating their lives, relationships, and careers. This is a very close-knit group and everyone knows everybody else’s business, but it leans more towards family bonds than allowing hearsay and rumors to destroy relationships. Brian Benni, Bali Chainani, and Amrit Kapai created the show and not for nothing, the concept is simple but the product is fascinating.

The Relationships

Aside from the families, there are numerous couples within the group. Anisha Ramakrishna’s search for love under the hopeful gaze of her family was shared over the first two seasons. We found out in Season 3 she is newly engaged, but to whom is a mystery. Brian continues looking for his perfect partner, after breaking up with his physician-girlfriend, Monica Shah, last year. And then we have Vishal Parvani and his new wife Richa Sadana. This one was a true journey that dealt with scary mother-in-laws and an inability to grow up. But the best relationship of all has to be Amrit and his husband, Nicholas Kouchoukos. Funny thing about Family Karma, you will see disagreements and strife, but you also see people actually willing to work through hardships without resorting to juvenile tactics.

Amrit and Nicholas

Amrit comes from an extremely traditional culture that has specific views on same-sex relationships. This topic is handled in such a gentle and loving manner, especially when Amrit wanted to share his joy with his grandmother. Cameras captured Amrit struggling with the thought of being rejected for loving a man, and what happened was the exact opposite. Amrit’s mother and father embraced Nicholas and helped him to nurture the union. It was an extremely positive experience to watch, and the outcome is about to give us the best wedding we have seen in years.

The Aunties

Basically the mothers of the group are classified as Aunties and they know everything even if you think they don’t. They share information, gather for drinking and discussing, and make attempts to keep everyone on track. They gossip, they have spats, but once again we see disagreements in a civilized way we aren’t normally accustomed to.

Family Karma is the ideal reality television show — superb editing, a ton of drama, and genuinely interesting relationship and family storylines. The rich past shared by all the characters is, in fact, a major draw to this show. Too many Bravo series clumsily piece together a cast of characters who, while they may hang out in similar social circles or even be close friends, aren’t truly deeply ingrained in one another’s lives outside of the show’s environment. If you want a good show minus the heavy, dragging you down type of drama, you need to be watching Family Karma.

Real Housewives Of Miami Star Alexia Echevarria “Expected” Lenny Hochstein To Cut Off Lisa Hochstein Financially Amid Divorce

Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein was reportedly “blindsided” by her husband, Dr. Lenny Hochstein’s decision to divorce. Lenny has a girlfriend, model Katharina Mazepa. Katharina alleged that Lisa was aware of her relationship with Lenny. Meanwhile, poor Lenny was fading under the stress of dealing with both his wife and his girlfriend.

In a hot mic moment on RHOM, Lenny admitted to a friend that “in a couple of months, I might be single, too.” I love a good hot mic revelation.

Finances are another flashpoint between Lisa and Lenny. Lisa was asking for spousal support. According to the court documents, Lisa makes a cool $30,000 per episode of RHOM. Lenny is reportedly claiming that Lisa makes enough cash to support herself.

The couple share two children. In court documents, Lisa stated that she tried to “buy diapers and food for their minor child,” but “the credit card declined.” Lisa also accused Lenny of failing to put money in her account for “several months.” This divorce is beyond messy.

Lisa’s co-star Alexia Echevarria weighed in on the couple’s divorce. Alexia told Page Six that she wasn’t surprised that Lenny cut off Lisa’s access to the credit cards. “That’s very expected,” Alexia explained. “That’s the move that all the men try to do. They try to cut off the woman. That’s a typical move.” It’s still cold.

Alexia continued, “Luckily for Lisa, she has her own money, and she works, and I know that she would never not buy diapers for her children or food or any of that. She can provide for her kids, “she added.

In Alexia’s view, “money is the root of all evil” in high-stakes divorces. “Since there’s money, this is what money does,” Alexia stated. “The schoolteacher and the fireman that are married and get divorced, none of this is happening in their lives — because there’s no money.” She added, “Well, not this kind of money.”

RELATED: Real Housewives Of Miami Star Lisa Hochstein Says She Wants To Get Married Again

According to court filings, Lisa asked for Lenny’s tax returns for 2008 and 2009. “Women like to get back at men because they’re like, ‘You did this to me, now you’re going to pay for it,’” Alexia remarked. “That’s what it is. And the men like to keep their money so they can spend it with the next woman. So, it gets ugly, it gets nasty and that’s expected,” she added.

So, how is Lisa doing now during this divorce drama? “I’m very happy that Lisa’s been able to move forward in the sense that she’s accepted all of this and she’s focusing on her and her children and just moving forward because it’s over,” Alexia stated. She continued, “And why would you want to be married to a man like that anyways? You already saw his true colors.”

Alexia once considered Lenny her friend. “It really affected me because I had a friendship with Lisa and Lenny and a few months prior, we were in Aspen skiing together and having dinner,” Alexia stated. “I’m so disappointed in him, the way he handled [his split from Lisa].”

This split was a dumpster fire from the beginning. Now Lisa has a juicy story line about Lenny for the next few years.

Kim Kardashian Hires Pianist To Wake Up Her Kids With Christmas Songs

While we may like to think that some celebrities are just like us, The Kardashians  definitely are not. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians stars live life on another level.

Kim Kardashian is now selling her unique brand of home décor. The items are made of concrete. How cozy! But if you are in the market for an 8-pound garbage can, Kim’s your girl! It retails for only $129.

On November 28, 2022, Kim and her husband, Kanye West, finally settled their divorce. Kanye, or Ye, will share custody of their four kids: sons Saint West and Psalm West and daughters North West and Chicago West. Ye is responsible for 50% of the children’s educational expenses and their security expenses.

Ye will also be handing over $200,000 each month in child support. Hopefully, Ye will stop sharing his family’s private issues on social media.

Page Six reported that Kim has a unique way of her waking up her kids during the holidays. The children wake up to Christmas tunes performed by pianist Philip Cornish. He is not just a pianist. He’s a Grammy-winning pianist.

Kim shared a video in her Instagram Story. “It’s that time of year,” Kim stated. “@Philthekeys comes over every morning to wake my kids up by playing the piano while the mad morning rush is happening to calm their little souls and fill it with beautiful Christmas songs,” the Skims mogul added.

In the clip, the pianist played holiday tunes on an all-white piano near a twinkling Christmas tree while Kim’s kids could be heard in the background. Another short clip showed Psalm relaxing underneath a blanket and listening to the music.

I feel cheated. I have to listen to an alarm clock in the morning. As you may imagine, some social media users felt that Kim’s annual tradition was tone-deaf.

Celebrity blogger Amanda Hirsch posted a hilarious video of Kim’s pianist, followed by a woman banging on a kid’s keyboard on Instagram. And the opinions soon followed. “She’s so out of touch, it’s gross,” a user wrote in the comments. “And this is why she needs that 200k/month child support,” another wrote.

“I guess rich people don’t use spotify,” a follower commented. “Why do I feel like North doesn’t even like this and wakes up and makes a face or makes fun of it lol,” a fan said of Kim and Ye’s eldest daughter.

Other social media users felt that Kim was trying to “deflect” from the backlash against the fashion house Balenciaga. “Look over there…. I didn’t denounce deplorable behavior against children!” the follower wrote.

The New York Post reported that Balenciaga came under scrutiny after they launched an ad campaign featuring toddlers carrying BDSM teddy bears. Kim didn’t denounce the fashion house immediately.

“As a mother of four, I have been shaken by the disturbing images,” Kim tweeted. “The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and any attempts to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society — period.” Kim declined an offer to appear in Balenciaga’s 2023 campaign, per Page Six.

If Kim is being this extra before the holidays, I can’t imagine what her kids are going to receive for gifts.
