For actress Em Haine, life definitely imitates art. The star of E!'s new original TV movie Why Can't My Life Be a Rom-Com? recently revealed the "pretty cute" way she met her current partner, and...
Forget winter, adaptations are coming! With the recent successes of House of the Dragon, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and The Summer I Turned Pretty, it's a great time to be a reader...If no one has said it, I’ll go ahead. Dancing with the Stars is not the same without Tom Bergeron. He was funny. He was an experienced personality. And he was replaced by Tyra Banks so she could wear elaborate outfits and smize at the audience.
Tom hosted DWTS for 28 seasons. Over that long period of time, he was able to create many memories. Recently he took to Instagram to reflect on some good times. He also shared what he misses most about the dance show days.
It wasn’t learning new hot moves or meeting exciting people. Heavy. shared Tom’s unexpected revelation. He posted a photo of himself flying through the air a la Luke Skywalker and said, “I’m often asked what I miss most about the dance show. It’s easy… the zip lining. #throwback”
Mirrorball champ extraordinaire Alfonso Ribeiro commented under Tom’s post. He wrote, “I remember when I got stuck. Not the best memory.” I guess we can’t all get our jollies from randomly flying over people’s heads.
For roughly 15 years, Tom presided over DWTS. Before the start of the show’s Season 29, Tyra took his place. Alfonso joined Tyra prior to Season 31 of the ballroom dancing competition.
The executive producer that fired Tom only spent five seasons at DWTS and is already gone. Tom and co-host Erin Andrews had no desire to leave, and many viewers still prefer the duo over Tyra heading the show.
The professional dancers also didn’t appreciate the structural alterations the now-departed executive producer made. He swapped out the episode opening dances for a spectacular entrance for Tyra to show off a spangly frock. #justicefortomanderin
If you miss Tom as much as I do, don’t fret. He has “multiple TV projects” standing by. Dancing with the Stars will be back later in 2023.

There's no shortage of Black excellence among 2023's most influential young artists and creators. And many of those stars currently taking the entertainment industry by storm just happen to...
If you were surprised to learn that Paris Hilton and Carter Reum welcomed a baby boy into the world earlier this year, you weren’t the only one. Even her family didn’t know about the surrogate pregnancy. The socialite and reality TV star is currently gracing the cover of Harper’s Bazaar. In the surprisingly candid interview, she gave fans a peak into her new life as a wife and a mother. In her chat with the publication, she shared the great lengths that she and Carter went to keep the news of their baby a secret.
Of course, it’s not totally unheard of for a celebrity to keep their surrogacy journey private. However, it’s shocking to learn that even Paris and Carter’s families were kept out of the loop.
“My entire life has been so public,” Paris explained in the cover story, as reported by Page Six. “I’ve never had anything for myself. We decided that we wanted to have this whole experience to ourselves.”
The couple, who tied the knot in November 2021, went to great lengths to keep the news of the pregnancy from leaking. When Paris went to the hospital, she wore a brunette wig as a disguise. She even lied to her house staff, telling them that she was having her house painted to keep them away. It all worked because the world was super surprised when she announced the birth of her son.
The announcement came via Instagram with an adorable picture of her holding her little one’s hand. Just before the Instagram post went live, Paris and Carter filled their families in on the exciting news. Can you imagine Kathy Hilton’s reaction to finding out about her surprise new grandson? She must have been thrilled. Or, was she still too busy recovering from the last season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?

Paris also teased that she and Carter probably aren’t done growing their family. She admitted wanting more children and recently completed her seventh egg retrieval. She told the outlet, “I’m more interested in babies than billions.”
Although Paris is putting babies over billions, she isn’t interested in immediately throwing her baby into the spotlight. So far, we’ve only seen a glimpse of the baby’s hand, and the couple hasn’t revealed his name. Paris did share that she likes to sing her baby her iconic pop song, “Stars Are Blind,” which is kind of the cutest thing ever.
While Paris and Carter keep their growing family private for now, it likely won’t stay that way for too long. Peacock just greenlit Season 2 of Paris in Love. So, If the first season followed her wedding to Carter, then the second season will undoubtedly touch on the love she’s found in her new motherhood journey.

Wes Bentley knows good things rarely last forever—especially in the world of prestige television. After Deadline reported earlier this month that Yellowstone was planning to move on from star...When we left the motley Vanderpump Rules crew, Tom Schwartz was using his divorce from Katie Maloney as an excuse for hanging out with Randall Emmett. What a choice! Lala Kent was clear with Tom that he needed to stand for something in their friendship, and if he was going to choose her repulsive cheating ex, she would cut Tommy out of her life. Fair enough.
This week, we start strong. Tom Schwartz is in a bucket hat. A clear signal that it’s only a matter of time until he’s trying to find an inexperienced 20-something to solve his self-inflicted problems. Make yourself a pumptini and join us!
The episode starts off with Tom Sandoval and Schwartzy receiving sage advice from their business partner, Greg. Greg tells the boys that they should consider hiring people who can do their jobs to work at a Daily Mail soft-opening party. Someone needs to get these kids a notepad for these life lessons because quickly, Schwartz begins asking applicants questions about their taste in floppy hat fashion. Then the boys do some trapper keeper schtick thing, because what’s a Tom and Tom scene without a childish gimmick?
Greg is completely embarrassed about his partnership with the Toms. At the Daily Mail party, he pulls Lisa Vanderpump aside to let her know she has completely failed in rearing these two for the industry. What did he expect? I’m pretty sure her own son is still bussing tables. Lisa basically laughs in his face and that’s that.
This is a Raquel Leviss fan page now. You’ve been warned. I’m absolutely obsessed with this Bambi-eyed goddess. She’s giving us everything as she makes her way through a long-term breakup. Early in the episode Raqy and Peter Madrigal are on their “casual” date. Peter thinks this means wearing a white T-shirt. Raquel thinks this means crying in public over her final pageant competition and her current battle with depression. She’s not holding back at all and I am captivated.
Raquel admits things have been hard since her split from James Kennedy. She’s having to pay for her own life, and, in her words, “it’s expensive.” I’m still rooting for Raquel to pursue her master’s in occupational therapy and leave this group behind. Raquel also reveals that seeing James with Ally Lewber has made her realize she may not be over her long-term relationship like she had previously thought. Again, I’m just loving her shamelessness. And not a trapper keeper, brass instrument, or instruction manual cocktail in sight! Pure realness. We need that.
For his part, James is eating lettuce out of Ally’s mouth in a public setting in broad daylight. He’s stroking her straight-cut brown hair and telling her he’s never seen another woman with such beautiful locks. In her confessional, Ally admits she feels James is moving a little too quickly. It just keeps getting bleaker and bleaker for these men, I swear.
RELATED: Raquel Leviss Reacts To News That James Kennedy Cheated On Her With Lala Kent
Katie and Lala have a spray tan date, and Lala is going ga-ga for Katie’s bawdy. Katie admits it’s the first time someone has complimented her tits or ass in years. I truly feel for this girl despite finding her mostly unbearable for the last nine seasons of this show.
Lala shares that she’s been texting the man she met at James’ gig in the last episode, and she wants Katie to join her for a group date. Should be fun, so long as Katie can get away from being the sole caregiver for her dogs. Apparently, Tom is still relying on Katie to take care of his doggy-parenting chores. He doesn’t seem to understand Katie no longer owes him anything, and that includes handling his responsibilities.
Lala later attends tea with LVP. Lisa says what we’re all thinking, and questions how Laler was able to ignore every single red flag Randall waved in her direction. Lala maintains that she was just young, dumb, and in need of a Range Rover. She breaks down sobbing over the bloated grifter, but I’m not letting her off the hook for this cluster-f**k of a relationship just yet.
Scheana Shay and Ariana Madix head over to Raquel’s new apartment to have some girl time. Am I the only one who thinks Ariana has risen to the level of Next Level Basic around here? The sea-creature extension moment was a little to “trapper keeper” for my taste. Just me?
Raquel shares that she recently learned about boundaries, and I feel like I’m watching her grow up before my very eyes. Scheana encourages Raquel to use her newfound confidence to be honest with Peter about her feelings. Raquel admits she has no interest in making out with Peter when she’s sober, and Ariana calls her the Forrest Gump of dating in her confessional. The comedy chops on this one.
Later in the episode, LVP pulls Peter aside to remind him it’s not 2012 around here. He can’t be having sexual or romantic relationships with his underlings anymore. Was that really normalized in 2012, though? I always thought Lisa was just exploiting her employee’s lack of knowledge regarding boundaries for ratings on her show. The entire explanation was uncomfortable. To make matters worse, Raquel follows it up by breaking things off with Peter for the simple fact that she’s not attracted to him anyways. Painful.
Just typing it gives me the ick. Then we have to ensure the Toms making spitting and swallowing jokes over cocktail tasting. I don’t want to overuse the “B-word”, but it’s giving Next Level Basic, and I’m bored.
So here we are, at Schwartz and Sandy’s, which has yet to actually open. The final scenes of the episode are the Daily Mail soft-opening party for the bar. Tom and Katie see each other face-to-face, and they confront the reality of their bummer relationship. Katie calls Tom out for never choosing her over anything, and Tom just keeps repeating his lackluster regrets.
Scheana also pulls Schwartz aside for a little heart-to-heart. Tom tells her he hasn’t been dating much because he still feels married and that would be like cheating. Someone explain to me how Tom is more loyal in divorce than he was in his marriage. Just like his middle-aged bucket hat, it’s not making any sense. Scheana then asks Tom to interview on her podcast. And we all know how that turns out.

We love a girl with a goal, and Gia Giudice has a big one. Teresa Giudice’s eldest daughter is in the early stages of a legal career. And she has some big plans for the future. According to Page Six, she wants to use her legal knowledge to have her father’s immigration status “reevaluated.”
Gia’s goal might sound lofty, but she’s already making some solid steps in building a legal career. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star is currently a senior at Rutgers University. She is majoring in criminal justice and minoring in sociology.
She’s also been interning at two law offices. One internship is with an immigration attorney who expressed interest in her father’s case. “They were interested in possibly, potentially looking at his case again — just in the future, if they would be able to do anything for him,” she explained of her employer.
Gia continued, “I was like, ‘Honestly, Dad, yeah. Like, this could be amazing.’ And it’s been so cool, like, just seeing other immigration cases that are completely different than what my father’s [was] and just the situations that these people have been put through.”
Gia’s dad, Joe Giudice, was deported back to Italy in 2019. His deportation followed a three-year prison stint for fraud. Since then, he’s relocated to the Bahamas to make family visitations a little less complicated. But Gia wants to see her dad back in the United States.
RELATED: Joe Giudice Says He’s Launching A Legal Consulting Firm
“We have such a big family, and no matter what the situation is, gathering all of us to go visit him [is hard]. Even though he did move to Bahamas for us, for him to be closer, for the flight to be easier … like, plane tickets are still crazy expensive, and especially when everybody has off around the holidays [and] the airlines jump the prices up,” Gia explained.
“It is hard for everybody to see him, rather than just one person being able to come here, like during holidays or birthdays, would just be like a dream come true,” she continued.
Gia noted that he was never a “flight risk” or a “threat to society.” It’s not like Joe was scamming elderly people or allegedly misappropriating funds from plane crash victims. She added, “I just feel like that if that whole aspect of it can get reevaluated, that maybe he could have a chance of coming back temporarily here and there.”
Although Gia’s got some big goals for her career, she is surprisingly grounded in discussing her future plans. It’s something you don’t often see in kids who grew up on reality TV. She shared that she plans to head to law school after graduation from Rutgers this spring. Plus, she’s already got another internship lined up with a human relations law firm. So if Joe can hold on for a few more years in the Bahamas, Gia might really be able to make some change.

Real Housewives of New Jersey never wastes any time introducing plenty of dramatic storylines to carry us through the reunion. We’re just a couple of episodes into Season 13 and there are already so many feuds to keep track of. It doesn’t help that we have three newbies in the mix who are earning their spots on the Teresa Giudice show.
The latest RHONJ episode finally shows the tension between Tre and the Gorgas boiling over. Melissa Gorga can’t bite her tongue any longer and isn’t ready to feel the love love love with Tre. Check out the five main takeaways from RHONJ Season 13 Episode 2, “Family, Family, Family.”
We’re only two episodes into this season of RHONJ and I can already tell MelGo is going to get on my last nerve. Sometimes, I can sympathize with Joe Gorga and his wife because Tre is stubborn and very often wrong. But it seems like the tension is different this year, especially as Tre enters a new, calmer phase of life with Luis Ruelas. The Gorgas seem hung up on appearances, like taking red-carpet photos with Tre or being involved in her wedding, rather than working on genuinely repairing the relationship outside of the TV show.
MelGo and Tarzan spend plenty of one-on-one time (on camera, of course) venting about Tre and Luis, but it comes to a head during the episode. The infamous seating chart at Tre and Luis’ engagement party was brought up, where the Gorgas allegedly sat at the “friends” table rather than the “family” table. Tre tries to say it was a mistake and that MelGo actually wanted to sit at another table, which activates Melissa. She tells Tre she’s done hearing her speak about “family, family, family” when they can’t even get along.
The entire conversation seemed overblown (as most Real Housewives fights) and shouldn’t have been a catalyst to such a relationship-altering decision like Joey skipping Tre’s big day. IDK, are other people actually siding with the Gorgas on this one? It’s clearly a layered issue, but I’m not buying their “poor me” excuse any longer. Also, I’m seeing Melissa as an instigator rather than a peacemaker, which will never be the right answer.
Dolores Catania is done being seen as an RHONJ sidekick. Not only has she found her new man Paul Connell, but she also fully embraced her Paterson Dolores side. She’s putting her foot down with Frank Catania when it comes to setting boundaries in their relationship. Mostly, Dolo is spending her screen time calling out the so-called “C. U. Next. Tuesday” that she thinks Jennifer Aydin is.
Jennifer is forever my problematic fave. It doesn’t even make sense why she and Dolores are fighting to this extreme. Dolo takes being a friend so seriously that Jennifer throwing a few digs was enough to ruin their tight bond. At Danielle Cabral’s house party, Dolo is less than enthused to be reunited with Jennifer so quickly after their last brawl. “I’m gonna smash her f–king face in,” Dolores says under her breath. See — she’s cutthroat this season and all of the RHONJ ladies better watch their backs. Especially Tre, who is caught dead in the middle of this losing battle.
Tre is knee-deep in wedding planning and sparing no expense. The party of the year has to have everything — a massive guest list, circus performers, fireworks, the whole nine yards. The first step is sending out invites, which is no small feat for a popular girl like Tre. While the invites were beautiful with etched glass and fresh flowers, Tre didn’t expect a little disaster called Ramona Singer to come crashing in.
If you remember back to Tre’s road to the altar, Ramona was so excited to get invited. In fact, she couldn’t help herself from sharing the private details of Tre’s ceremony with her TONS OF INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS. Classic Ramona. Tre is seen in the episode stressing about redoing the details and fixing the mess that Ramona made. It’s a fun moment to see a mention of the Real Housewives of New York OG who we probably won’t see much of on TV anymore. She may be gone, but never forgotten.
It’s only right to take a moment to honor the addition of Danielle Cabral to RHONJ. She’s a Jersey girl through and through. Her home life is interesting as she’s fabulous, but still on the humble side. She can’t get over the Taj Mahal that is Jennifer’s massive house in Paramus. It’s relatable to see a Housewife who is nervous to host a party at her house because it isn’t as big as her co-stars. Also, her kid gets a bonus point for his hilarious “adult” British accent that included dropping an F-Bomb. Reality TV gold.
Danielle really shows us who she is in this episode with her mozzarella-making party. She has a background in party planning so it’s over-the-top, even in her so-called humble abode. The ladies have fun (honestly, a little too much) watching a hunky Italian stretch fresh mozzarella in the backyard. “A bunch of sick f–ks right now getting turned on by cheese,” Dolores screams at one point. These light moments are mixed in with all of the aforementioned screaming matches, but that’s what keeps it interesting. Have I mentioned I freakin’ love RHONJ?
Jennifer and Margaret Josephs were on a good track toward reconciliation for about two seconds. That is, until this episode when Marge learns that Jennifer was digging up dirt on her. Jennifer reveals that one of Marge’s ex-besties reached out to give her and Tre some tea on her old friend. They confirm that the woman told them that Marge is a pot stirrer who does her own digging, but the more interesting part was a secret they kept under wraps. Jennifer says she won’t reveal it unless Marge really does something to make her mad, which doesn’t seem like it’ll take long. I was relating again to Danielle during this scene who was dying to know Tre and Jennifer’s dirty little secret.
At Danielle’s party, Margaret confronts Jennifer about stirring the pot. It escalates quickly, even though Jennifer owns up to it. Marge just won’t hear Jennifer out and then starts accusing her of having “marijuana paranoia.” Girl, what? Margaret doubles down in a gross way that Jennifer needs therapy and help, which is just mean girl behavior. It’s safe to say the majority of the RHONJ girls love a little gossip. It seemed overblown for Marge to get this upset about Jennifer, especially knowing that Messy Jen might have some secret dirt up her sleeve.

Ruby Stokes heard your cries loud and clear. The actress was a big part of Bridgerton's first season, playing the role of Francesca Bridgerton on the Netflix drama. But when it came time for the...
We’re back for another episode of Below Deck. Captain Sandy Yawn is in her villain era, and so is second-stew Alissa Humber. When we left off, Sandy was barking commands at her interior crew while they were congregated in the stew pantry. From the comfort of my couch, it feels obvious to me that this is an issue between Alissa’s work ethic and Sandy’s interest in critiquing interior crew members. Fraser Olender is just caught in the middle of a rock and a guest appearance by a reality TV yacht captain hard place.
Within minutes of her blow-up at the interior crew, Sandy seems aware she went a bit too far. She apologizes to Tyler Walker who is stripping her bed as demanded, despite the guests still being on board. Sandy peppers in some favoritism and tells Tyler he’s the hardest worker on the boat. Meanwhile, Fraser claims he is in “actual shock” from Sandy’s display. He labels her a “horrible human being” and I am absolutely loving this side of him.
Fraser is especially upset with Sandy’s criticism because, unlike the deck crew, his staff isn’t getting their breaks regularly. Interior is consistently working later and getting less sleep. They’ve had to work down a person, after firing Camille Lamb, and they’ve gotten no feel-good comments from their captain. Some light garbage duty help isn’t making up the difference. Fair enough.
During the tip meeting, Sandy reminds the crew that the walls of the yacht are thin, and she and the guests can hear everything. She says she doesn’t want complaints penetrating the boat. Almost immediately, Alissa is back to saying Sandy sucks deck-crew dick. We are only five minutes into this episode. Hold on, people.
Sandy has booked an hour-long beach volleyball event for the crew to have the summer camp team-building experience they’ve all been missing. This will definitely solve the power tripping, laziness, and communication problems plaguing the crew.
Fraser calls a medic out to the yacht to check out a scrape on his foot, and he is excused from the activity due to the risk of infection from the sand. Alissa tries to avoid the event by taking a nap, but Captain Yawn is not the one. She instructs Fraser to wake Alissa and essentially forces her to the beach during her time off. While the crew waits for Alissa to join, Sandy has a side conversation with Rachel Hargrove about how she’s the only one on the boat who can see the big picture. GO TEAM!
After the volleyball game is finished, Sandy pulls everyone in for their final hurrah. Surely she’s going to say some corny nonsense about all-for-one and how their fish doesn’t stink, right? Wrong. She decides to basically blame her flop of an idea on Fraser’s busted foot and communication style. He was supposed to report the scrape to her, after all. I hope he doesn’t have any unregistered OTC Neosporin he’s been putting on that!! It could be the last we see of him.
At this point, even Katie Glaser and Hayley De Sola Pinto are beginning to tire of Sandy’s relentless comments toward Fraser. Chef Rachel defends Sandy, though. She feels that the hierarchy has not been respected and that Fraser should be “breaking” and “remolding” his stews.
On the drive back from volleyball, Alissa takes a moment to let Katie know that Ross McHarg has been touching her during their otherwise “normal conversations.” This sets the stage for the night out. In his confessional, Ross admits that he likes to play the field and he’s not sure if he may be a sex addict. Given that this is the second time he’s mentioned it, I think we have our answer.
Of course, Sandy’s leadership style becomes a topic of conversation over dinner. Deckhand Ben Willoughby defends Sandy in his confessional, but not at the table. He’s still jaw-dropped over Sandy refusing to move the boat for a man a few days ago. Girl power! He’s also still hooked on Camille and clearly sees Alissa as the reason his girlfriend had to leave the boat.
RELATED: Below Deck’s Captain Sandy Yawn Reveals Where She Stands With Camille Lamb Post Firing
After dinner, Alissa bums a cigarette from Ross who then tells her to sit away from him to avoid any suspicion. That’s not really how acting natural around other women works, but we can’t expect the power-wielding sex addict to know that now can we?
Later, Ross tries to gaslight Katie out of being concerned over Alissa. Katie reminds Ross she has eyes, and she saw him staring at Alissa all night. These two break up later in the episode and then get back together again. Same story, different week. Let’s not waste our time.
It’s the match-up of the season. While the crew is working to flip the boat for the next charter, Fraser tells his team they can “fuck off” when they are done with their individual list of chores. And that they do. Once finished, Alissa and Hayley head to the deck for some tanning. It’s paradise until Sandy walks through the interior and only sees Tyler hard at work.
Sandy approaches the stewardesses on the aft deck. She questions why they are lounging while Tyler is busy working himself into an OCD nub. Hayley immediately offers to get up and help Tyler. Alissa becomes defensive, though, and does her best to assure the captain she had asked Tyler if he wanted help, which he denied. Her sing-song angry preschool teacher voice really doesn’t help matters. Sandy is incensed and directs Alissa to the bridge immediately.
Sandy is clear with Alissa that her attitude is not okay. SOMEONE HAD TO DO IT. She explains, “A lot of times crew oversteps, and you’re doing that. I want to explain something; What I won’t tolerate is what just happened… you will be off this boat so fast.” Sandy repeats that Alissa merely has to respect Sandy as a captain, not as a person. This is more than fair because so far Sandy hasn’t respected any of these people as the people they are, either.
Alissa leaves the bridge saying “cool cool.” She then fumbles her superiority complex by casually calling the captain by her first name, rather than CAPTAIN Sandy. This is immediately after the entire “hierarchy must be respected” lesson. THE AUDACITY. Sandy takes this as an “eff you”, and has had enough.
Sandy calls Fraser to the bridge and alerts him of what just happened. She tells him Alissa has been insubordinate three times. She blames Fraser for the disrespect because word has gotten out he has a lack of respect for the captain, too. Sandy tells Fraser this is the worst experience she’s ever had with a chief stew, and I just know Hannah Ferrier is grinning somewhere.
Sandy and Fraser agree to reset, and I actually think this might go somewhere. Fraser calls his mom to have a cry, and even holds Alissa accountable during a follow-up conversation about what happened between her and CAPTAIN Sandy earlier. Maybe we won’t be losing Fraser after all? So who is that mid-season trailer mystery blonde!?!?
The episode ends with Alissa being called to the bridge with Ross as a witness. It’s safe to say she’s being fired Camille-style. Interesting that it hasn’t been cross-approved by Fraser, but it seems that’s just not Captain Sandy’s style.

In fact, Lindsay says she's just as confused by the season...Hello hello hello! Back with another addition of what’s on my DVR/streaming devices this week. Unfortunately, if you’re a Real Housewives of Potomac fan like me, you are stuck waiting another week for the reunion. Thanks a lot, Super Bowl. But on the flip side, my streaming this week was lit, as the kids say. And Real Housewives of New Jersey is filling a housewives void now that they are back and more Jersey than ever. So let’s jump in.
Given all the hype surrounding this season, I’m really expecting my RHONJ to deliver. We’ve only seen one episode and so far so good….but the bar is set pretty low. While I do appreciate the franchise, watching HBIC Teresa Giudice continue to argue with Melissa Gorga and brother Joe Gorga has become tedious. So tedious that I almost gave up watching.
But I pressed on and this season we have finally been thrown a bone in the form of newbies Rachel Fuda and Danielle Cabral. Rachel is Team Melissa and Danielle has already seemingly come out as Team Tre. Which means that the two will be forced to go to bat for their respective housewife. Now that I can watch. What I don’t want to watch is another househusbands calendar shoot. The ladies might have thought their men were on fire but I would have run into a burning house in an effort to escape Frank Catania shirtless in bunny ears.
Watch on Bravo at 8 PM ET. The episode is also available to stream on Peacock the next day.
It’s only fitting that what has felt like the longest season of The Challenge is featuring the longest final ever. 100 hours to be exact. And last week, we were only half way through. Leaders Tori Deal and Devin Walker-Molaghan have been slipping but with a final so long, it’s hard to maintain any kind of lead for very long. So what’s in store for the next 50 some hours of the final? Much pain, more suffering but hopefully less puking. More importantly, will veteran Aneesa Ferreira survive her rolled ankle? Will fans survive watching one more second of Jordan Wiseley? Tune in to find out.

Well, the kids of Vanderpump Rules are officially back for season 10. I wasn’t sure if I was going to watch this season given how stale it’s become. But I have to admit, a single Raquel Leviss is a big pull for me. I don’t care what anyone says, Bambi is a star and a sweet one at that. She deserves to be in the spotlight without James Kennedy dragging her down. Speaking of being dragged down, we are going to watch the dissolution of Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz’s marriage. Which we’ve all been waiting for since the day they got fake married. Additionally, Lala Kent is now a single mom and we won’t have to see Randall Emmett’s stupid face anymore. That’s a win all on it’s own.
Watch on Bravo at 8 PM ET. The episode is also available to stream on Peacock the next day.

Viva Real Housewives of Miami Season 5. I’ve said it before and I will say it again: this franchise is giving. Now the ladies are in the Bahamas, and it looks like the drama is going to reach new heights thanks to a spat between Alexia Echevarria and Adriana de Moura. The two have been slowly circling each other all season but it seems that Adriana bringing up Alexia’s son finally crosses the line. As for a Marysol Patton-free vacation they were promised? Yeah, not so much. The last episode ended with Marysol and her bejeweled cockie holder arriving poolside to surprise everyone. Jill Zarin did it first. Just saying.
Streaming now on Peacock with new episodes airing every Thursday.
Despite the couples being complete train wrecks when it came to compatibility, I highly enjoyed Season 3 of Love Is Blind. Netflix has now dropped all three episodes of their limited series follow up, After The Altar. We get to see what the marrieds are up to and how they are faring now that they are actually legally bound to one another. So how’s it going? In epic the words of Dorinda Medley, “Not well, bitch.”
The only couple that seemed to actually like each other, Alexa Lemieux and Brennon Lemieux are going strong. But it’s painfully clear that her dad still doesn’t think Brennon is good enough for her. Which has got to get to old at some point.
When it comes to the rest of the couples, I almost don’t even want an update. SK Alagbada appears to have done Raven Ross dirty. Rude.
SPOILER ALERT: Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton are shockingly and inexplicably still together, even though they shouldn’t be. So just be warned that we are going to have to sit through that mess. I’ve never rooted harder for a couple to break up. Colleen, woman to woman….run for the hills. Resubscribe to Tinder, apply for The Bachelor. Do anything but stay with this man. I beg of you.
All three episodes are streaming now on Netflix.
