90 Day: The Single Life Season 4 is one of the next anticipated installments in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, and viewers are eager to learn who has been cast.

The Single Life is one of the most intriguing spin-offs, as fans watch some of their favorite cast members get a second chance at love. There are many new eligible 90 Day Fiancé singles who could be a great fit for The Single Life, including these five cast members.

Kim Menzies put her entire heart into trying to make a relationship work with Usman Umar. However, the two were ultimately not meant to be. During her time on the show, Kim has become very likable. It’s clear that she is just a hopeless romantic as many of us are. Kim would be a perfect candidate for The Single Life, since she has been open about not being closed off to love.

Kim is also a regular on Pillow Talk, along with her son Jamal Menzies, who is also a fan favorite. If Kim were cast on The Single Life, she would bring a fresh sense of humor to the spin-off. Furthermore, Kim should be cast since it is clear that she is not looking for clout, but rather has true intentions of finding love again.

Jamal Menzies

Jamal, like his mother Kim, is currently single and would be a great fit for The Single Life Season 4. During The Single Life Season 3 tell all, it was revealed that Jamal had been casually involved with franchise star Veronica Rodriguez. However, their romance seems to have since wrapped up, which puts Jamal back on the dating scene.

From the moment he was introduced, Jamal instantly captured the attention of viewers and became a fan favorite. Jamal is patient, kind, and has an admirably close relationship with Kim. Fans would love to see Jamal take on the lead, and be featured on The Single Life with his own dating story, as opposed to just being a part of someone else’s.

Yve Arellano

Yve Arellano had high hopes for her marriage with Mohamed Abdelhamed, but their romance was rather short-lived. Mohamed cheated on Yve with another American woman, shortly after they wrapped filming on 90 Day Fiancé Season 9. Yve has had time to heal from the divorce. She’s now ready to find love again, possibly on The Single Life Season 4!

While many viewers were annoyed with Mohamed, they ultimately wanted to root for Yve, especially since she is a single mother to her son, Tharon. Since the split, Yve has been living her best life on social media. It finally seems like she is ready to move on. Yve has a lot to offer, and it would be refreshing to see her find a partner that is not constantly trying to change her, like Mohamed did.

Debbie Aguero

Debbie Aguero intrigued viewers on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 4, when she pursued a relationship with her much younger lover, Oussama. However, Oussama’s intentions did not align with Debbie’s, which ultimately led to the two breaking up. Debbie is now back in the United States and single. So, it would be fun to watch her find a more compatible match on The Single Life Season 4.

Debbie would be extremely fun to watch on The Single Life, as her unique personality pulls viewers in. It would be interesting to watch Debbie date men closer to her own age, to see if she would be more compatible with them, as opposed to 24-year-old Oussama.

Chuck Potthast

While Chuck Potthast isn’t a main cast member, he would be a great addition to The Single Life Season 4. Chuck is the father of Elizabeth Potthast, who is a franchise regular along with her iconic husband Andrei Castravet. Chuck plays a regular part in the couple’s story lines. He’s also one of the only tolerable family members of Elizabeth.

Previously, Debbie Johnson, the mother of Colt Johnson was cast on The Single Life Seasons 2 and 3. Now that Debbie has found her perfect match, it would be fun to watch another 90 Day parent like Chuck take a stab at love. Chuck had previously been ghosted by a woman he was talking to, so it would be wholesome to watch him get another chance at finding his person.

Real Housewives With the Most Confusing Relationships

Followers of Bravo’s Real Housewives have seen just about everything when it comes to weird and creepy relationships. While some marriages, like Heather Dubrow and Terry Dubrow, work at all levels, multiple couples try too hard to force their storyline to work. Every now and then, there are some relationships that seem off, leaving fans to wonder how anyone can let their love life get so confusing. 

Alex McCord

Alex McCord graced the small screen during Real Housewives of New York City Seasons 1 to 4. She has been married to Simon van Kempen since 2000, and the two share two children together.

Right away, Big Apple viewers could tell something was off between the two as they came across as eccentric. Not only did the couple only speak French to their two sons, but both seemed extremely co-dependent on one another for almost everything. 

What made fans, and even Ramona Singer, cringe was that Simon, an Australian businessman, loved dressing Alex as if she were his personal Barbie. And the outfits weren’t even that good! It didn’t help that Simon was always wandering around in a budgie smuggler anytime there was a scene at the beach. Even though the two are still going strong, something just seemed off about them. 

Gretchen Rossi

Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi came onto the franchise like a bright light, and her upbeat personality was contagious. At the time, she was engaged to Jeff Beitzel, who lost his battle with cancer in 2008. While their age difference raised eyebrows, what caused fans to balk even more was when she shortly stepped out of the shadows dating Slade Smiley. The father often came across as a snake oil salesman who had already dated one housewife previously. 

Bravo viewers weren’t a fan of Slade, especially since he had a way of inserting himself into the drama with the other women, including Vicki Gunvalson, whom he at one time called “Miss Piggy.”

What came across as confusing was Gretchen’s undying support of Slade. Whether she was defending him against the accusation of owing child support or being a user, Gretchen stuck by his side. During Season 8, she even proposed to him, but they remain unwed. 

Tinsley Mortimer

The debutant of Real Housewives of New York City, Tinsley Mortimer, was always keeping her eye out for love and thought she had found it when she began dating Scott Kluth. Bravo viewers were actually rooting for the couple after Carole Radziwill introduced the two on a double date.

Without a doubt, their relationship moved at warp speed, with Tinsley even leaning in for a cheeky kiss at the end of their first date. There were some borders, with Scott working and living in Chicago, while Tinsley still residing in New York. However, Scott, who seemed nice initially, refused to commit and kept breaking up with the heiress.

The relationship never seemed genuine, and the theory was only proven when Scott popped up at her hotel door with flowers, evidently forcing Tinsley to collapse onto the floor crying, very dramatic. As predicted, the couple didn’t last, and Tinsley is now back on the hunt, as supporters continue to question her judgment in ever dating Scott in the first place.

Drew Sidora

 Literally, everything is cringe-worthy when it comes to Drew Sidora and Ralph Pittman’s marriage. From the start, the two have come across as a complete mismatch, leaving fans of Real Housewives of Atlanta scratching their heads.

The former Rutgers University football player has not spoken kindly to his wife during any of their seasons. Still, at times, Drew seemed to take his attitude without ever arguing back. Ralph came across as a major gaslighter who could have cared less about his wife’s emotional state. 

Ralph was also caught flirting numerous times, and even though Drew pleaded with him to stop, he didn’t. Drew has accused her ex of being an adulterer who often controlled her financially. The relationship was too complicated for fans to understand, and many were not surprised when the couple announced their divorce this past year.

Times When Tom Schwartz Proved He’s Just as Bad as Tom Sandoval

Tom Schwartz made his Vanderpump Rules debut in Season 1, appearing in a part-time role as Katie Maloney‘s boyfriend and Tom Sandoval‘s best friend. When Schwartz became full-time in Season 3, his puppy dog eyes and playful nature often saw his poor behavior ignored. After marrying Katie in Season 5, Schwartz began to heavily use his bride as a scapegoat. As several members of the cast clashed with Katie, this tactic worked well for several seasons.

Prior to filming for Season 10, Katie filed for divorce. This decision came on the heels of multiple cheating allegations (on Schwartz’s end) and an overall disconnect between the pair. Katie has also grown tired over Schwartz’s lack of support during cast arguments. Not shockingly, one of Katie’s biggest non-supporters was Sandoval.

Once Season 10 began, Schwartz’s nice guy act came to an end via the #Scandoval storyline. Here, Sandoval’s affair with Rachel Leviss (formally known as Raquel Leviss) saw Schwartz’s involvement with the wrong team yet again. As Schwartz’s duplicitous nature aired, many viewers began to look back on his past behaviors, realizing that Katie’s frustrations might have been justified all along.

Here are the moments that are now being called out, proving that Tom Schwartz is really just as bad as As Tom Sandoval.

Season 1 – Schwartz Pours One Out On Stassi Schroeder

Queens of Bravo/Twitter

In Season 1, the former on-again off-again duo of Stassi Schroeder and Jax Taylor were fighting. Here, nice guy Schwartz decided to interject himself into their fight by quietly saying “F**k you, Stassi.” When a shocked Stassi turned to Schwartz, he didn’t retreat. Instead, he doubled-down on his comment, saying “Yeah, you heard me b***h.”

With two men now acting in an aggressive manner towards her, Stassi reacted by throwing her drink on Schwartz. In return, Schwartz stood up and poured beer all over Stassi, twice. Yes. Stassi’s physical actions came first, but Schwartz’s words started this mess, and this is a hill we will gladly die on.

Season 2 – Schwartz Pours One Out On Katie Maloney

When Season 2 returned, Schwartz’s aggression towards women, and love of a good drink pour, also resumed. This time, it happened after he took Scheana Shay‘s side over his then-girlfriend Katie’s. In this encounter, Schwartz’s poured drink landed on Katie’s head as he exclaimed to the love of his love, “F**k off, man.”

Schwartz’s pattern of placing everyone else before Katie, in addition to his hostility, woke Katie up a bit. “I have this relationship all wrong. This relationship is so, this relationship is f**ked up, man,” Katie could be heard saying, as her friends helped her to dry off. If only Katie had cut all ties at this point.

(Likely) All 10 Seasons – Schwartz Cheated On Katie

Bravo/YouTube

Almost every season, rumors have swirled over Schwartz’s cheating. In season 3, Kristen Doute took Stassi to lunch. Here, Kristen revealed that she knew “for sure” that Schwartz had cheated on Katie with two different girls. Scheana later added to this by revealing that Schwartz also made out with one of her friends.

At the start of Season 6, Schwartz got blackout drunk and made out with Lala Kent‘s friend while Katie was on a trip to New York. Keeping in mind that the pair were wed during Season 5, this allegation, which Schwartz later admitted to, is beyond bad.

Let’s also not forget the time he disappeared for an entire night while the cast was in Mexico, claiming to have fallen asleep at another resort. Or the time he disappeared in Atlantic City while with the guys. Or…you get the point.

All 10 Seasons – Schwartz Demeans Women

Schwartz’s treatment of women has NEVER matched that of his energy given to the men. He has helped the men cover up their cheating ways and poor decisions time after time, while raging at a woman just for telling him that he’s wrong.

For example, in Season 8, the rotten Randall Emmett and Jax hired fake cops to arrest Sandoval at a party. Katie rightfully labeled this as a joke in poor taste, due to police brutality being on the rise. Recoiling at Katie’s correct take on the situation, Schwartz first told her to “shut up,” then proclaimed that he’s “never been more turned off in his life.” He then told the entire room, “this is why I never have sex with her.”

Schwartz had nothing bad to say to the men involved.

In Seasons 7 and 10, the women began to dish it back. When Schwartz told Scheana that all she cared about was selfies, she replied “and all you care about is making out with f***king chicks in bars.” When Schwartz attacked Lala by commenting on her looks, her career, and her parenting, she fought back as well. Under Lala’s anger, Schwartz cowered, trying to pass his words off as a joke.

Season 9 – Schwartz “Jokes” About Katie’s Womb

Stassi and Lala both have daughters. On-air, Katie spoke on her desires to have children, but during her marriage to Schwartz, the pair were never able to conceive. After posting Katie with her friend’s children, Schwartz wrote an incredibly insensitive comment, asking Katie where her child was.

Guess what he then cried after receiving backlash? This too was just “a joke.”

Season 10 – Schwartz Covers For and Defends Sandoval

Watch What Happens Live/Twitter

Unbeknownst to everyone, Sandoval and Rachel were having an affair throughout Season 10. Schwartz later admitted to having knowledge of this, but did he stop his friend from cheating on Ariana Madix? No. He instead also made-out with Rachel.

This occurred during Scheana’s wedding, just feet away from Katie, who had asked her ex not to hook up with a cast member post their divorce.

Schwartz later admitted that this kiss was indeed meant to anger Katie, but many believe it served another purpose; to cover for Sandoval’s affair with Rachel. When the affair became public, Schwartz encouraged viewers on Watch What Happens Live to give Sandoval a hug.

Ariana and Katie have since distanced themselves from both of the Toms.

Reality Stars Set to Launch Lawsuit Against NBC and Bravo Alleging Sexual and Mental Health Exploitation

Bryan Freedman

A number of unnamed reality TV stars are going to war against NBC and Bravo. Attorneys Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos sent a legal letter to NBC. The letter claimed both current and former reality TV personalities have been subjected to “grotesque and depraved mistreatment.”

There are numerous accusations laid out in the letter. These include alleged threatening of cast members if they “speak out about their mistreatment,” and “distribution of revenge porn.” That seems to be just the tip of the iceberg for the shocking claims.

“Dire circumstances” have been ignored

In the letter, obtained by TMZ, it is said that NBC would not allow cast members the freedom to leave shows, even under “dire circumstances.” It claims that cast and crewmembers had been “subjected to disturbing mistreatment,” which also included “deliberate attempts to manufacture mental instability by plying cast members with alcohol while depriving them of food and sleep.”

“Denying mental health treatment to cast members displaying obvious and alarming signs of mental deterioration,” is also alleged, as well as “exploiting minors for uncompensated and sometimes long-term appearances on NBC reality TV shows.” NBC is accused of “covering up acts of sexual violence,” and “distributing and/or condoning the distribution of nonconsensual pornography.”

The attorneys then ask NBC to “take immediate steps to preserve all existing documents and data relevant to NBCUniversal’s treatment of cast members and crewmembers on NBC’s reality shows to prevent the overwriting or any other possible destruction of relevant documents and data.”

Bolstering Bethenny’s calls to unionize

This legal letter aligns with Bethenny Frankel’s calls for reality TV stars to unionize. She thinks that they should get residuals when their reality shows are repeated, and that’s just one of her demands. A number of Real Housewives, both past and present, have shown their support for her idea. Whether or not she knew about this potential lawsuit being cooked up, however, is an entirely different story.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on this one.

All the Juicy Drama Teased in the Sister Wives Season 18 Trailer

Sister Wives Season 18 is returning with a vengeance, as TLC just dropped the trailer. Last season showed Christine Brown at her wit’s end with the father of 18, Kody Brown. For years the patriarch has been using his standing within the Brown family to get exactly what he wanted. This included several moves, a fourth wife, and almost complete control. 

Followers of the polygamous family have felt for years that his relationships would eventually start to unwind due to his need for a dictatorship. But as the marriage waned, each wife grew stronger in their own voice. Eventually Christine, Meri Brown, and Janelle Brown realized they deserved better than Kody. 

Kody Claims Janelle ”Pushed Him Out the Door”

TLC/Instagram

It feels like Christmas in July, well, August, as the trailer showed some juicy scenes and is only a preview of what fans can expect to see during Season 18. One scene, in particular, caught Sister Wives followers by surprise, as Janelle and Kody navigate an uncomfortable conversation.

Janelle is shown explaining why she chose to leave the Wyoming native with Kody crying, “You have cheated me out of my family.” In an angry response, Janelle claps back, “You are now pushing me out the door,”  with Kody responding, “That’s an exaggeration and a lie.” Making sure to really annoy Kody, Janelle ends the conversation by saying, “I think you’re manipulating.” 

As Kody rips away from his second wife, Janelle demands he “stay and talk.” However, it is clear Kody is ignoring her pleading, with Janelle getting the last word saying, “fu*k you.” It’s clear that Janelle is no longer holding back her true emotions, as she is now fighting for her freedom. Janelle, who notes “she needs something different,” tearfully confides in Christine, saying, “ I don’t want to be married anymore.” 

The Truth Will Finally Be Revealed

Finally, Sister Wives fan’s hypothesis will be proven. Christine and Meri both reveal to TLC cameras that they have known for years that there are favorites within their relationships. Christine, who filmed her segments at her new home in Utah, tells cameras, “I left Kody cause I could see he had favorites.” The clip shows Kody tenderly rubbing Robyn Brown’s back. 

As for Meri, she even admits in her confessional that she has also resented Kody’s treatment of her for the last few years, even though she “still had hope.” The mother of one went on to divulge long-kept secrets saying, “I’ve heard Kody refer to us as friends,” instead of his spiritual wives.

Kody is caught speaking out in a new confessional, asking why “Meri still is living in Flagstaff.” The Season 17 tell-all revealed that both Meri and Janelle decided to call it quits on their unions with Kody. Now, fans will see what truly transpired. 

Robyn Should Have Worked Harder

Robyn Brown/Instagram

Per usual, Robyn is caught at the end of the trailer uncontrollably sobbing, as Meri tells the monogamous couple she will also be walking away from the family. It has been clear for years that Robyn only wanted to be with Kody.

Even Christine and Janelle noted last season that there were times when Robyn was hard to get along with. If Robyn wanted porch time in her golden years, she should’ve worked harder on being a cohesive family all the other years, instead of isolating Kody’s older children and first three wives. 

The Sister Wives Season 18 trailer shows Janelle and Kody’s sons, Gabe Brown and Garrison Brown, expressing their frustrations with Robyn too. The clip shows the two boys, Christine, Gwen Brown, and Janelle, sitting around the kitchen table discussing how Kody let them down as a father. In a sad but honest monologue, Garrison states, “You know what, Robyn, have him. We are all grown adults who don’t need a father figure anymore.”

Kody is no longer the “happy-go-lucky” man that the women married. Instead, the father is sullen and angry at what has transpired over the last year. Kody even refers to himself as the “devil,” and it seems it is a fitting nickname. No longer do any of his wives feel sorry for the man he has become, and fans are going to be waiting with popcorn for the premier at the end of the month.

Vicki Gunvalson Breaks Tamra Judge’s Implant on Watch What Happens Live

Vicki Gunvalson

Whenever Vicki Gunvalson makes an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, there are a lot of headlines the next day. One we never expected to write about, however, was the destruction of Tamra Judge’s old implant. Having sat safely in the clubhouse for some time, Vicki came along and supposedly punctured it with her sharp nails. Shannon Beador almost also got the blame from Andy Cohen, after the incident during a commercial break.

Andy’s never looked so disappointed

“Vicki broke Tamra’s implant. It’s been sitting there quietly for the last like, eight years,” Andy explained. “I think it was already leaking!” Vicki came back, before Andy pointed out just how sharp her nails were. “I didn’t touch them with my nails,” she replied, claiming she only held the implant in her palm.

Andy then noticed Shannon’s jewelry: “Shannon has a spiky diamond ring on.” Not wanting to take the blame for this one, she insisted Andy felt it, as the “spikes” were simply an illusion. “Totally smooth,” she said, presenting her hand for inspection. “Oh yeah, you’re right,” Andy said. “This is the guilty party right here,” Shannon said, throwing her Tres Amigas comrade under the bus.

“Okay, blame it on me!” Vicki said, verging on a shriek. Then Andy brought up the name of an attention-seeking former Housewife who was beefing the owner of the restaurant The Quiet Woman, which has featured on Real Housewives of Orange County. I’m gonna side with Julius Sekas on this one; THAT former RHOC star exudes toxicity.

Tamra’s breast implant history is a long and well-documented one. She had her implants removed for the second time in 2021, after they caused her to develop breast implant illness. It’s not an official medical diagnosis, but symptoms include joint pain, brain fog, dry eyes, and fatigue. Judging by her behavior on RHOC Season 17, Tamra certainly has her energy back.

Real Housewives of Orange County continues Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
