Love Island USA Season 6: Biggest Questions Ahead of the Reunion

To say Love Island USA fans are highly anticipating the Season 6 reunion would be an understatement. While the season just ended a few weeks ago, there’s already been enough off-screen drama to fill a separate reality show. So far, it’s played out on social media and over podcast appearances. This includes feuds, new connections, and even a few potential breakups.

While some contestants may overshare on social media and in interviews, others have played it very coy. Likewise, there’s been a lot of back and forth, he said/she said, and confusion. With all of the cast in one room, the reunion will give contestants the chance to air a lot of grievances. Season 6 winner Serena Page said it best. She’s interested to see if those making shady comments will change their tunes, or say it will their chest.

This cast is so chaotic, there’s about a million unresolved feuds, rumors, and new mysteries every day. Here are the most pressing questions fans want answered at the reunion. Thankfully, they don’t have to wait too long, because the episode airs on Monday, August 19, streaming on Peacock.

What’s going on with Kaylor and Aaron?

Maybe I should rephrase that: what the fawwwk, Aaron Evans and Kaylor Martin? These two appeared solid until Casa Amor, where Kaylor spent days crying while Aaron romanced Daniela Ortiz Rivera. While they’re the type of couple that would normally skate through to the finals, Aaron’s antics landed them in fifth place. Kaylor’s mom even dragged him on Facebook!

Since they left the show, Kaylor expressed her doubts in multiple podcast interviews. Especially after she watched the Casa episodes. At the same time, she also reiterated how he is her best friend, and that she can’t overlook her feeling for him. Fans noticed her briefly unfollow him on social media. However, he also sent her flowers, and a note that included the phrase “elephant juice” (Love Island code for “I love you”). There’s been breakup speculation, but she gave him so many chances before, so viewers weren’t certain where they stand.

Since they’ve been in New York to tape the reunion, Kaylor’s mostly hung out with the girls. Especially her bestie Olivia Walker, who publicly rooted for Kaylor to dump Aaron. Kaylor’s reunion look also seemed to channel host Ariana Madix’s famous revenge dresses. Adding fuel to the fire, she told a crowd member that things were “not ok” with Aaron. Also, there were rumors the reunion taping started late because Kaylor and Aaron wouldn’t stop fighting.

Aaron might be in quite a bit of hot water this reunion. He also got a lot of flack for comments he made about Serena on a podcast. Comparing Serena’s post-Casa actions to Kaylor’s, the Traitors winner was accused of microaggressions. Notably, Kaylor and Serena are also hanging out quite a bit.

Why did Kendall and Nicole apparently fizzle out so fast?

A recurring joke in Love Island discussions is that certain couples will break up on the plane ride home. In the case of Kendall Washington and Nicole Jacky, it seems like this literally happened.

The tension was present already in the finale. When Kendall said I love you, Nicole didn’t say it back. While she eventually said she was falling for him, some wondered if she just felt bad for not saying it earlier. Shortly before the finale, she broke down in tears about the men who hurt her before, indicating why she had a guard up. She was also very turned off by his behavior in Casa. And Kendall himself admitted that they were both frequently tested by new bombshells.

While Kendall didn’t outright confirm their split, he made some very telling comments on The Viall Files. One thing he kept reiterating was that Nicole had a more difficult time with the outside world’s comments and backlash. Nicole mostly stayed private after the finale, though she did eventually release an Instagram Story, where she echoed what Kendall said.

People are so curious about what happened, Ariana was even asked about it on Watch What Happens Live. Ariana maintained that they seemed to have something genuine in the villa. However, she added, “I don’t think that necessarily means they’re going to stay together.”

None of the couples posed together at the reunion photo call, and I wonder if that was intentional. However, the other three finalist couples posted a lot together on social media. While Kendall hung out with the rest of the cast, Nicole was nowhere to be seen. Before she appeared at the photo call, people weren’t sure if she’d even go to the reunion.

What’s next for the PPG after the Love Island USA Season 6 reunion?

Serena, Leah Kateb, and JaNa Craig, aka the PPG, are unquestionably the breakout stars of Love Island USA. Not just of Season 6, but of the whole show so far. For instance, Leah is nearing three million followers on Instagram, surpassing even Ariana. That’s similar to the following that Love Island USA Aftersun host Maura Higgins had when she first appeared on the UK series. Serena and JaNa, who also have over a million followers, recently signed with Gersh for representation. The BFF’s quotes went so viral, major celebrities like Kerry Washington and SZA lip sync to them on TikTok. And they did a whole post-show press tour.

Given their popularity, the PPG keep teasing that they have things in the works. While some suggested a podcast, the girls frequently said they’d rather have their own reality show. If there was ever a good time to announce a major new project, it would be at the reunion.

It’ll also be interesting to see the dynamics between the PPG and the rest of the cast at the reunion. Fans already accused a few cast members of jealousy. As Serena referenced in interviews, there’s been a lot of shady comments. And Ariana herself knows from experience how jealous and defensive people can get of a co-star’s popularity.

Katie Maloney Responds to Rachel Leviss Feeling ‘Betrayed’

Photo Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo via Getty Images

Over a year since her affair with Tom Sandoval was unearthed, Rachel Leviss continues to discuss the issue on her podcast Rachel Goes Rogue, and now says she felt “betrayed” by her castmates. She also talks about her former Vanderpump Rules co-stars. But according to Katie Maloney, it seems like recollections may vary.

The VPR star is always ready to respond to Rachel, whether it be on her own podcast, or social media. Indeed, Katie does seem to follow what the disgraced former reality TV star says. And this recent back-and-forth is no different.

Katie Maloney thinks that Rachel Leviss is “moving the goalposts” by claiming she was “betrayed”

During the Wednesday, August 14 episode of Katie’s Disrespectfully podcast, the veteran Bravolebrity responded to Rachel’s recent comments in which she bemoaned her lost friendships, and suggested that she was expecting any of her former co-stars to reach out to her after the scandal.

“She’s moving the goalpost once again, everybody. I kind of have to chuckle at it because I don’t know what she’s trying to accomplish,” Katie told her co-host Dayna Kathan. “But it is insane because she wants to talk about how she misses her friendship, but initially none of us were her friends.”

“That was what she was touting was that no one was that close. I wasn’t even that close with her. That’s why she justified everything — all of her behavior with Tom Schwartz or Ariana [Madix] — was because [she] wasn’t that close [with anyone],” she continued.

“She pulled a restraining order on Scheana [Shay]. Who was gonna pick up the f*cking phone, babe? If anyone was gonna pick up the phone, it was gonna be Scheana. You’re suing everybody.”

Rachel’s take during the interview was that she was “betrayed by my friends.”

“I know how that sounds because I was somebody who betrayed a friend,” she shared. “But in my darkest times, I just thought that these were my true friends and they would love me no matter what and would want to hear me out. That just wasn’t the case.”

“I had to learn the hard way to completely cut off all communication to all of my friends … so that was a really difficult time. But I have been able to rekindle some of the friendships that I do value [with] the trusted people,” she told Us Weekly. “Now we’ve come to this freedom [where] I don’t need to monitor what I’m saying anymore because it’s all out there. This is my new life and I really have nothing to hide.”

Katie has no sympathy after all “the sh*t” Rachel put her through

In response, Katie accused Rachel of “ruining” Ariana with the lawsuit that accuses her of revenge porn, eavesdropping, and invasion of privacy.

“You’re ruining Ariana because you f*cked her boyfriend in her home while she was away at a funeral. You’re suing her because she happened to see sh*t on his phone. You need to get your f*cking head checked, Rachel,” Katie said.

She continued, “The sh*t that you put everyone through, the sh*t you pulled with me, the vile f*cking sh*t you said to me, the way you made me feel when I looked in your f*cking face and told you and now you wanna come and say this.”

The Something About Her co-owner suggested that Rachel step back from public life and accept the finality of the situation.

“Log off. Get off the f*cking internet. Go open a Pilates studio. Find a nice man, anyone that will f*cking date you and have a nice simple life. No one wants to f*cking talk to you with the sh*t that you’re doing. You’re insane. We’re all left you alone,” she said.

“You’re mad that we weren’t just like hitting you up, you dipped out, disappeared, went to your mental health place, blocked everyone that even remotely tried to reach out to you, it wasn’t gonna happen.”

Vanderpump Rules is available to stream on Peacock.

Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury Split After Five Years

Photo Credit: MEGA/GC Images via Getty Images

It’s the end of an era. Love Island superstars Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have ended their five-year relationship. We’re mourning the loss of another reality TV couple who couldn’t work things out.

We first met the pair during Love Island’s fifth season. The two coupled up and eventually came in second place. Although they didn’t win the cash prize, they won over the hearts of the viewers and quickly became fan favorites. They were the blueprint for Love Island’s success. Now, we’re all left trying to figure out what the hell went wrong.

Tommy Hague and Molly-Mae’s surprising split

The news of Tommy and Molly-Mae’s breakup married just a year after they announced their engagement. They share a 19-month-old, so Love Island fans were eagerly awaiting to see them walk down the aisle and continue growing their family. However, out of nowhere, they both posted announcements on their social media confirming their split.

“Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this,” Molly-Mae wrote in an Instagram Story. “After five years together, I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.”

“I’m extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end,” she continued. “I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me, now and always, my beautiful daughter. Without us, there would be no her. She will always be my priority.”

Tommy followed up with an Instagram statement of his own, essentially echoing what Molly-Mae had already said. He thanked Molly for making him a dad and reiterated that their daughter is their priority.

Why did Tommy and Molly-Mae break up?

Although both Tommy and Molly-Mae asked for privacy amid the split, the internet is desperate for answers about what happened between the Love Island alums. The unfortunate reality is, nobody knows for sure.

One of the rumors floating around was that Tommy cheated on Molly-Mae with another influencer, leading to a surprise pregnancy. Daily Mail has since debunked that theory.

On the other hand, some fans believe that Molly-Mae blindsided Tommy with this breakup. Part of that idea is fueled by the fact that he was happily posting cutesy pictures with her on social media right before the breakup announcement.

The truth surrounding their split will come to the surface in due time. Until then, we can celebrate the five years they spent together. They did better than most Love Island couples.

Margaret Josephs Clears up Timeline of Speaking With Luis Ruelas’ Ex

Photo Credit: Jocelyn Prescod/Bravo via Getty Images

Once and for all, Margaret Josephs is trying to clear up the story about contacting Luis Ruelas’ ex.

On The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa Giudice and Luis held a full-blown legal conference to throw out the accusation. However, Margaret insisted that it wasn’t a big deal and that Jackie Goldschneider was the one being fed information from the ex.

With the lack of an actual reunion for Season 14, there were still some lingering questions over all of this messy drama. Thankfully, we have two investigative reporters named Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp working tirelessly to get to the bottom of it. They invited Marge to their podcast, Two Ts in a Pod to get the full scoop on Margaret’s involvement with the infamous ex.

Margaret Josephs pulled out the timeline, so when exactly did she first speak to Luis Ruelas’ ex?

During the podcast, Margaret explained just how she got involved with Luis’ ex, whose name is actually Vanessa. The show kept bleeping it out, but now that we can put a name to the bleep, it’s a little bit easier to follow.

On RHONJ, we saw a montage of clips showing Margaret dodging questions about contacting the ex. She swore up and down that she didn’t do it, but the story seemingly changed once Teresa called her out. However, Margaret explained that those flashbacks on the show were misleading.

According to Margaret, the accusations about Vanessa all started in 2021 when the cringey “warrior” video leaked. You know the video — it’s the one on the beach where Luis is sharing affirmations with a few bros. Margaret stood adamant that she had nothing to do with that.

“In 2021, I had never ever spoken to Vanessa. She wasn’t reaching out to me,” Marge explained.

Margaret insisted that she saw the “warrior” video with the rest of the world but was prompted by a producer to bring it up on camera. Perhaps that would explain why suddenly Margaret got blamed for leaking it.

Despite facing accusations that she was in cahoots with Vanessa, Margaret consistently argued that wasn’t the case. She said she never leaked anything about Luis, because she didn’t need to.

“I don’t have to leak anything,” Margaret explained. “I say it right to your face. I don’t need to push it out there.”

It all started in the DMs

Photo Credit: Jocelyn Prescod/Bravo

Once Margaret started getting accused of working with Vanessa, she coincidentally started to periodically receive DMs from her. Generally, Margaret claimed the ex was just trying to make “small talk.” Then, their relationship evolved in 2022 once Marge found out that Teresa and Jennifer Aydin were talking to Margaret’s former friend Laura Marasca Jensen to try to get dirt.

“I then felt comfortable responding to [Vanessa] via DMs,” Marge explained. “I was comfortable enough to then respond to her because these people are sick, they’re accusing me of things.”

Over the next year, Marge and Vanessa’s relationship continued to evolve. The RHONJ star said she occasionally bumped into Vanessa around town. For example, they ran into each other at a Joe Gorga comedy show of all places. The state of New Jersey is only so big.

The link between Margaret and Vanessa reached its peak when the Bo Dietl “investigation” came to light. Margaret said that at that point, she felt “very comfortable” talking to Vanessa, who was also having a legal entanglement with Bo. Essentially, Marge said they were swapping stories about how “crazy” the whole situation seemed.

“I was like ‘Whats’ going on? IS this Bo Dietl thing real? What’s happening here?'” Marge recalled.

Ultimately, Marge’s stance remained unchanged from what we heard on the show. She doesn’t think she did anything wrong by contacting Luis’ ex. She’s confident that their relationship was a reaction to the Lauren situation, rather than a years-long plot to take down Luis. Is that enough context to change Teresa’s mind? Absolutely not.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock.

Below Deck Med Season 9, Episode 12 Preview: Gael Cameron Thinks Joe Bradley Is Stringing the Women Along

Photo Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo via Getty Images

Below Deck Mediterranean’s Lead Deckhand Joe Bradley is doing what he wants, when he wants, according to Gael Cameron. And that includes tugging at the heart strings of both Second Stew Elena Dubaich and Third Stew Bri Muller. He has been leading on both women from the get-go, and each of them is pretty clueless he’s playing them both. However, Gael knows Joe is up to no good, and she is not a fan of his behavior. She says as much in the preview for Below Deck Med Season 9, Episode 12, which you can watch below.

Below Deck Med Season 9, Episode 12 sneak peek: Gael thinks Joe is “being a little bit of a d*ck”

Joe has definitely been having his fun with the ladies. He made out with both Ellie and Bri, and even made up a song about how he’s working both women. Unfortunately for him, Ellie did overhear that little number and was not too happy. But she quickly forgave him after he apologized, and then asked him out on a date. Noooo!

In the Season 9, Episode 12 preview, Joe rejects Ellie, and Gael shares her thoughts on his behavior. We open with Ellie curling her hair and Joe barging in to talk with her. He nervously said, “Dating for me is like up here. And I’m not ready.” Ellie’s mouth was agape. All she wanted was to have a drink and get to know him. She was dumbfounded at how he could make out with her, but he did not want to get to know her. Never try to date a player, girl.

Joe then ran off to tell Nathan Gallagher the news while Gael snacked in the corner, listening in. He said, “Maybe I took it too seriously. I’m not going to force myself to do something that I don’t want.” Gael then wiped off the Hot Cheetos dust from her fingers and checked in on Ellie. Ellie was still in shock. She told Gael, “Like, bro, we’re just having a drink and talking. It’s not that serious.”

Gael was blunt in her confessional about how she felt Joe was leading them on. She said, “Joe is being a little bit of a d*ck. He’s choosing what he wants, when he wants it without considering how it affects the girls. It’s just not nice anymore. So, I’m losing respect for Joe in that sense.” Will this also fracture relationships within the deck crew? We’ll have to tune in to find out!

Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles Season 15, Episode 6 Recap: No Deal Is Easy

Photo Credit: Rob Latour/Variety/Penske Media via Getty Images

Altman almost loses a huge deal on Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles Season 15, Episode 6! Last week, Josh and Josh went head-to-head with their listings in Trousdale, and Flagg showed an interest in purchasing Altman’s. Tracy also scored a big listing in Bel Air. This week, Altman’s Trousdale listing has more ups and downs than a rollercoaster, and Flagg makes a big decision about Bedford. Here’s everything you need to know about MDLLA Season 15, Episode 6: “No Deal Is Easy.”

Tracy, Flagg, and Altman perform their worst negotiation ever on Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles

Photo Credit: Gizelle Hernandez/Bravo

We picked up where we left off, with Tracy negotiating on Flagg’s behalf for Altman’s Trousdale listing. Tracy came in with a lowball all-cash offer of $13.3 million. Altman almost spit out his tequila; the seller wanted $16.995 million! In Tracy’s opinion, the home wasn’t worth more than $14 million because of the market and obstructed views. The seller texted back, “Hard no.” Altman and Tracy were about to call it a day and grab dinner, but then Flagg walked in. 

The spirit of friendship moved Altman, and he told Flagg he’d go a million less and forgo his commission if he’d come up in price. Tracy also agreed to give up hers as Flagg had done the same for her. Flagg was going to give in at $15 million until Tracy pulled him aside and reminded him it wasn’t worth that much. Altman laughed, he could hear them outside the door. They decided to offer $14.75 million, and then the seller would net $15.113 million because they gave up their commission. But Altman texted the seller the wrong offer amount. Doh! Luckily for them, the seller turned it down. And luckily for Flagg, he dodged buying Versace China and a Rolex headboard.

Tracy popped over to her Stone Canyon listing in Bel Air to meet with former MDLLA star David Barnes. Even though the home wasn’t actually done yet, she had to begin her whisper campaign. This strategy was like a “hush-hush” pocket listing. Everyone wants what they can’t have, so being exclusively invited to see the homemade people want it more. David said about the home, “It’s a whole vibe.” He cautioned her against showing it without landscaping up to cover the construction. This wasn’t Tracy’s dream scenario, but with low inventory, she took what she could get. 

The Altman brothers met up with their protege Jacob at a restaurant to discuss their Chalette Trousdale listing. They decided to pull a power move and arrive 30 minutes late. However, Jacob learned well and told them the wrong reservation time, so they ended up arriving just on time instead. You’ve learned well, young Padawan. Jacob offered $15.7 million, all cash, for his best and final. Josh messed around with Jacob a bit more and pretended the seller was not thrilled, but then shouted, “Mazel!” It was a done deal. The student has become the master.

Heather and Tracy realize you can’t do it all

Tracy and Flagg went back to Bedford to meet a potential buyer. She found an old pair of underwear lying about and threw it over the fence. Lovely. Tracy said about the home, “The prior seller apparently left their panties they were in such a hurry to get out of it.” But was Flagg ready to get out of it too? Tracy put on her developer hat and focused on the remodeling opportunities. Flagg wavered a bit but ultimately decided to move on. This home was for him and Andrew, and now they are separated. Tracy still saw potential, but Flagg was dunzo. 

The Altman brothers received unfortunate news from Jacob. His buyer for Chalette decided to pull out. Josh freaked out as the sellers were on a plane to LA to pick up their things. It was time to spring into action! Matt decided to follow up with a couple that loved the house; they just hadn’t put in an offer yet. Josh muttered, “I’m going to kill Jacob.” 

Tracy and Heather met up at Stone Canyon. Her client was interested until she saw the construction. This solidified for Tracy the developer needed to put up landscaping ASAP. The two then sat down to dish about their personal lives. Heather was having a hard time balancing work and motherhood. The demands of opening a new office in Orange County were taking their toll. Tracy was also going through it and was still trying to get over Erik. She said, “We just need to open a bottle of wine and sort it out.” Amen to that.

Deal or no deal on Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles

Flagg met up with his bestie, socialite Nikki Haskell. As he put it, “If you don’t know Nikki, you’re probably from the valley.” Just like the non-one percent brokers who came to his Trousdale listing. The two discussed his Bedford home and how Flagg changed his mind and might want to rebuild. And that scenario also applied to his relationship with Andrew. Nikki advised that if he was done, he shouldn’t be talking to Andrew every day. She noted, “It’s very hard to reheat the soufflé.” 

It was time for Matt and Josh to break the news to sellers Joe and Irina about their Chalette deal falling through. After some small talk, Josh delivered the blow. The buyer pulled out, but they had a backup offer. It was $200 thousand less; however, these buyers also wanted to purchase the furniture. They liked the Versace china! With this deal, the sellers would make more money because they wouldn’t have to pay taxes on the furniture. After a few swear words, the sellers took the deal. Josh shared that this listing had a ton of twists and turns. He added, “This is very typical to this market. No deal is easy!”

Flagg is all in on Bedford on Million Dollar Listing LA

To rebuild or to sell? That was the question continuously on Flagg’s mind for his Bedford home. Originally, he was dead set on selling. But after seeing the potential, he warmed up to rebuilding. To help in his decision, he had Tracy and Chad, an architect, come over. At every modification, Tracy heard dollar signs “cha-ching” in her head. She told Josh it would be a little over $8 million to complete. She wanted him to do this for the right reasons and to take the time to think about the cost and effort. As impulsive as ever, Flagg shouted, “Let’s build a house!”

Tracy had an offer on her Stone Canyon listing, so she and Jamie met up with Melanie, the developer, to give her the news. Melanie had wanted $22 million, and this offer came in at $19 million. Melanie wasn’t happy, as there was also a million dollars worth of furniture in the house. Which thankfully didn’t include a Rolex headboard. Tracy got a best and final of $20.5 million, and she took a point off her commission to offset the extra taxes. It was a done deal! Tracy thanked burying a statue of St. Joseph upside down to sell the home. You definitely can’t say Tracy was not creative in getting her deal done.

Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED THE ALTMAN BROTHERS WERE ABLE TO SELL THEIR TROUSDALE LISTING SO QUICKLY? DO YOU THINK FLAGG IS MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION REBUILDING BEDFORD INSTEAD OF SELLING IT?

Below Deck Med’s Bri Muller Dodges Question About Potential Joe Bradley Hookup

Photo Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo via Getty Images

There’s something about Lead Deckhand Joe Bradley. The Below Deck Mediterranean star had the majority of the interior crew smitten with him. And that included Second Stew Elena Dubaich and Third Stew Bri Muller, who have both been at odds over Joe since the beginning of the season. Even though there were plenty of single guys to go around, they only wanted Joe, and they didn’t want to share. It soon became a race as to who could hook up with Joe first. Bri made the first move with a harmless kiss, but did she and Joe end up doing something more?

Bri Muller teases we’re going to have to “wait and see” if she hooked up with Joe Bradley

It always goes down after a night on the town. Ellie had gone to bed, so Joe was fair game for Bri. The two got in the hot tub and made out. When Ellie found out the next morning, she was furious. This led to her and Bri not getting along and taking each other down every chance they got. 

Bri decided to back off from Joe to try and keep the peace. Which didn’t really work because she then got in trouble for keeping a burn book of Ellie’s alleged laundry crimes. Nonetheless, Ellie then made her move on Joe. They made out several times in front of Bri. Classy.

Ellie backed off though, when she heard Joe singing a song about how he bagged both her and Bri. After he apologized, she then tried to get with him again by asking him on a date. Bri was not going to be outdone by this maneuver and seemed to decide to take drastic measures to get his attention. 

Bri was on Watch What Happens Live, and Andy Cohen grilled her on whether or not she hooked up with Joe. Andy asked, “Bri, it looks from the preview from next week like you and Joe, uh…” Then Andy shook his head, implying something went down. He continued, “That something happens.”

Bri smiled mischievously and laughed. She said, “I mean, you’re just gonna have to wait and see. Keep on watching those episodes!” Andy was cracking up, but I have a feeling if Bri and Joe really did hook up, Ellie is not going to take that lightly.

Why RHONJ Fans Think Teresa Giudice Is Bowing Out

Photo Credit: MEGA/GC Images via Getty Images

Teresa Giudice has been a staple on the Real Housewives of New Jersey since 2009. But as the old adage goes, “You can’t teach an old dog Real Housewives star new tricks.” The mother of four has been consistent when it comes to stirring up the drama in the Garden State. But after 14 years, fans have started to wonder if she is tired of the constant fighting and digging for gossip. The latest season showed her constantly having to defend her husband, Luis Ruelas. The man couldn’t say a nice word about Margaret Josephs, and fans began to tire of his faux mob-like ways.

After Teresa returned from jail, she became a bit of a yogi. The star wanted to find her zen and live a more peaceful life. But Season 14 did not go well, and many viewers are wondering if Teresa will bow out of the franchise. For many fans, Teresa is the face of RHONJ, but it could be time for the author to cut and run before the network axes her. 

Teresa Giudice shares cryptic post

Leave it to Teresa to share a post that could possibly hint at her exit from the Real Housewives of New Jersey. The dust hadn’t even settled on the Off the Rails episode before Tre pressed post on her Instagram. Directly after the episode, after unfriending Jenn Fessler, the 52-year-old hinted at her possible upcoming exit. On her Instagram Story, she shared a meme that read, “Sometimes God closes doors because it’s time to move forward. He knows you won’t move unless your circumstances force you. Trust the transition. God’s got you!”

The big question in fans’ minds is, would Bravo really fire their cash cow? Teresa has been flipping tables since Season 1 and always brings the TV moments. But maybe, just maybe, Tre is done juggling the drama. In her own way, she could be preparing her followers for the blow that is her hanging up her Bravo title. 

Teresa Giudice will never film with Melissa Gorga again

In the same time frame, Tre added another meme that not so subtly hinted she would never be caught dead in the same room as Melissa Gorga or her brother Joe Gorga again. She posted, “KARMA SAID … Time decides who you meet in your life …. Heart decides who you want in your life … Behavior decides who will stay in your life.” However, I think Teresa is forgetting that she called Melissa a whore at the Last Supper. 

Teresa also shared a post from a fan who commended her regarding her years of service. The supporter wrote, “Twenty-four seasons of seeing Teresa Giudice standing strong, never needing anyone to defend her battles even if it had to take her knocking things off the table, it was worth every bit of it she’s iconic housewife I know for a fact no matter what I’ll see Teresa on Bravo some way some how she will be on TV … Iconic seasons thanks to Teresa.”

Is this the end of Teresa Giudice?

From day one Teresa has always stood firm in keeping her place on the Real Housewives of New Jersey. Even when rumors started spreading that Bravo might be looking to reboot, Tre made it clear she was happy to return for Season 15. While talking with Kelly Ripa on her podcast, the OG noted, “Whatever Bravo wants me to do. I will do. They’re the boss. Bravo’s the boss. So, whatever they want, and I’m not going to walk away until they want me to walk away.

But even though Tre doesn’t know her future yet, she does have some ideas when it comes to a dream cast. She told the Daily Mail, “Obviously me, Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Jackie Goldschneider.” The Paterson native added, “I don’t know about Jennifer Fessler. I mean, I like Jenn Fessler, but I guess she would have to decide. And I think that’s it. So, it’s up to Jennifer if she would want to come back, but I like Jenn.” One thing is for sure: Teresa won’t bow down quietly. And if she is cut from the series, I would wager we will see back on Bravo soon enough in some other capacity.

Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2, Episode 10 Recap: Bali Heals All Wounds

One little voice note can carry a ton of weight, but as we welcome you all back to our Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2, Episode 10 recap, we are happy to report that the dust is finally settling. On that storyline, at least. This week, on an episode titled “Dressed to the Whines,” Lesa feels annoyed that her clothing options have left half her cast angry. But on the positive, Ayan finally learns her age! Here is everything that transpired on RHODubai Season 2, Episode 10.

The fallout over Lesa’s gifts continues on RHODubai

Last week, Lesa gifted her costars with traditional, expensive Balinese dresses. However, Brooks, Stanbury, and Taleen hated their fits. BROOKS IS NOT A HOTDOG, everyone! Thankfully, their shared feelings found them all bonding, and as their jokes sounded, I died laughing.

Not laughing is Lesa. These three missed her planned dinner. As for Lesa, Ayan, Sara, and Saba, they ate as one, complaining about the disrespect that they felt. Back at their villa, the dress deniers dined on room service, anxious about seeing the others once done.

Watching Brooks, Taleen, and Stanbury joke and laugh around healed my inner child. Just kidding. Little Amy remains broken. But still, their harmony and laughter made my night.

Lesa, Ayan, Sara, and Saba finish eating and head to the villa to grab their costars. Upon their arrival, a pissed-off Ayan addresses Taleen. After noticing Taleen is wearing a dress from home, Ayan quips that it looks meh on her body. Therefore, Taleen should have just worn the dress Lesa picked.

Insert the sounds of breaths being taken in here. And of Ayan, once again labeling Taleen as a loud Hadada ibis.

Lesa explains that a lot of effort went into securing these designer duds. Trying to help, Saba asks Taleen what she hates about her fit. Taleen explains that she felt uncomfortable.

Returning to her previous dig, Ayan tells Taleen her dress looks like a dollar store brand. And yes, dollar stores exist in Dubai, as Sara and Taleen both stress in their confessionals.

Ayan words cut up Stanbury next. Ayan tells Stanbury that she excludes herself on purpose for attention. As Ayan speaks, the cameras hone in on Brooks, staring wide-eyed at Stanbury while continuing to eat, unbothered.

Taleen and Brooks apologize to Lesa and Ayan. Stanbury, however, goes to bed.

As everyone follows suit and heads off to bed, Brooks approaches Taleen. She jokes that Taleen went on an apology campaign, making Brooks feel like she also had to apologize. Taleen laughs, and then she and Brooks make peace, agreeing that they love each other.

In another room, they overhear Ayan yelling. Laughing like schoolgirls, Taleen and Brooks slide under the table, hiding from Ayan. After a few beats of held-in farts, they come back up for air, ready for bed.

This night was a healing one for everyone but Ayan and Stanbury.

Stanbury phones home to her man the following morning, explaining how her relationship with Ayan went to the left. Therefore, she and Ayan are skipping the ATV excursion because they need to chat. They will swing on giant swings that hang over a cliff instead.

Crickets sound (literally) in their sprinter van for two. In contrast, the ATV gals are loving life. Brooks and Taleen are still acting silly together, which pleases their cast.

Stopping for lunch (lawd the food in Bali looks AMAZING), Stanbury tells Ayan that had she known that stupid voice note hailed from Lesa, she would have never shared it with their cast. She then apologizes several times while explaining in her confessional that Ayan is only mad at herself because she is the one who originally shared this voice note.

Ayan starts to cry. Lesa hurt her. Ayan enjoys being a trusted friend, but this voice note mess has made Lesa weary of her, and she hates this.

Ayan and Stanbury finish their lunch. They agree to move forward, but in her confessional, Ayan admits that she now sees Stanbury in a different light.

The ATV girls encounter several cows in their path. Squealing happily, with a touch of fear on the side, they press their gas pedals and peel away. Meanwhile, Ayan and Stanbury take to the giant swing, once again joking around with each other. It was a great day for all.

Back at their villa, the whole group reconnects. Ayan tells Lesa that she made peace with Stanbury. Lesa listens, but she wants no part of their drama.

Sara and Saba chat while readying for their last night out in Bali. Sara reveals that she and her new man, Akin, are not doing well. She received an offer of $45K to appear on a podcast. Her co-host, however, is a hot athlete.

Akin trusts this man zero. Therefore, he told Sara that she could not attend this gig. Saba wants to yell at him for trying to control Sara. Sara, however, is stuck on how she wishes to proceed.

Their final night in Bali arrives. As they decorate their villa, Stanbury pulls out several dicks. She explains that people in Bali worship the ween. Wait. Am I Balinese?

Also, unattached dicks are illegal in Dubai. Lesa knows. She had a vibrator confiscated once.

A palm reader arrives. She tells Sara that her love life will not go well this year. Saba interjects, stressing that Akin needs to go.

Ayan learns that big money is coming her way. The palm reader, however, cannot tell Ayan what her age is.

Cue Lesa, revealing in her confessional that she knows this answer. The doctor they visited sent her the results.

The palm reader tells Taleen to be careful with one woman. The ladies joke that this woman is likely Brooks.

On Stanbury, the palm reader sees one boy in her future.

Brooks arrives late. Ayan quickly whispers what the palm reader revealed to Taleen. Brooks knows she is not a disloyal friend, so she is good.

Lesa is up next. The palm reader finds negativity in her heart. She tells her to control her emotions. Lesa agrees as Stanbury claps quietly in the background.

The read-down on Brooks arrives last. Her money is coming. But she also needs to control her emotions. The cast laughs.

As the readings end, Lesa stands, announcing that Ayan is Sally O’Malley 50, bishes! However, more likely. Ayan lives somewhere in the 45-50-year-old range.

Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2, Episode 10 ends on a high. We love to see it.

Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2 continues every Tuesday on Bravo at 9/8c.

Andy Cohen Hints He Never Wants To See Bethenny Frankel Again

It’s been just over a year since the “reality reckoning” of 2023. But it’s not surprising that Andy Cohen is not keen on seeing Bethenny Frankel again. And he’s not shying away from at least hinting at that too.

After all, he admitted to the whole thing taking a toll on him and it’s not hard to see why. After months of continued lawsuits and hot takes, it’s not hard to see why Andy would want to avoid the person who essentially “fired the first shot.” At least in his eyes.

Andy Cohen drops a hint about Bethenny Frankel

In a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Andy and guests Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers played Truth or Kink. The first question out of the gate was when was Matt frustrated with how Andy handled a housewife at a reunion.

Matt answered quickly. He avoided the zap by saying, “I’m sorry, but I was always very Team Carole. I always thought you went way too easy on Bethenny in that situation.”

Andy couldn’t help but agree and said, “Yeah, in retrospect.”

That certainly set the tone. And when the next question was for Andy. It asked him to name one Real Housewife he never wanted to see or hear from again.

The question made Matt laugh. He cheekily asked, “Did you just say it?” To which Andy replied mysteriously, “Uh, yeah, maybe.”

Although the Bravo producer and host knew there was really nothing mysterious. He quickly admitted, “I think the answer is obvious.” And really, is it any wonder considering what a contentious year it has been for the two of them?

A sustained attack

@bethennyfrankel

We deserve a response from the entertainment industry acknowledging that we have been heard. #strike #union #realityreckoning #thebethennyclause

♬ original sound – Bethenny Frankel

Andy and Bethenny had a famous falling out when the latter famously accused the former of a myriad of things. Her grievances included being underpaid and the stars not being given their due. She wanted reality TV personalities to unionize and opened the floodgates for lawsuits, criticism, and allegations to be lobbed at the network and Andy.

Today the dust has settled on what Andy referred to as a “sustained attack” instead of a reckoning. And while they both may want the feud to die (or at least pause) that doesn’t mean he wants to ever see or hear from Bethenny again.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 Reunion Watch Party Recap: Off the Rails

Photo Credit: Jocelyn Prescod/Bravo via Getty Images

The Real Housewives of New Jersey series has arrived at its final destination, the Rails Steakhouse in Towaco, NJ. During the Season 14 Finale, this heavily divided cast gathered at Rails to break bread. Instead, a glass broke, and the servers had to sweep up shards amidst the chaos in their private dining room. This week, RHONJ Season 14, Episode 14, aptly titled “Off the Rails,” aired, showing that a divided cast works best. Settle in with your charcuterie boards as we sigh deeply, recapping everything that transpired during the Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 Reunion Watch Party at Rails.

After last week’s showdown, the gracious team at Rails Steakhouse shockingly agreed to one more filming date. This time, since this cast loves to hate, hate, hate, they smartly provided two private dining rooms. As black SUVs begin pulling up, headlines detailing their canceled reunion appear.

Room number one fills up with Margaret, Melissa, Rachel, and a gladiator-like Danielle. Room number two gets Teresa, Aydin, and Jackie. Switzerland Dolores gets to enter both rooms, but she starts things off in room number two, as expected.

Teresa knows Fessler has pulled away from her as of late. Margaret must be to blame, she notes. A “happy” Dolores admits she hasn’t even watched this season.

Danielle tells her room that after filming, she and Teresa made plans. But then, Teresa posted an image of their cast, complete with scratched-out faces, including Danielle’s. Therefore, Danielle has taken “a step back” from Teresa.

In her room, Teresa notes that Danielle spoke poorly about her, which explains why Danielle received her scratched-out treatment.

Meanwhile, Fessler is held up “behind the truck” in traffic.

Fessler finally arrives, heading into room number one. Danielle greets her hotly. Before she can even sit, Danielle asks Fessler how she now feels about riding hard for Aydin this season.

But Fessler is quick on the uptake, as always. “I think you need to calm down. I just got here, [and] I don’t have to sit in a room like this with snakes.” Instead, she “can go sit in another room with” nicer snakes, Fessler retorts.

Fessler then accuses Danielle and Rachel of not warmly welcoming her. Rachel interjects, explaining, “I turned around and said, ‘Hi. How are you?'” Fessler snaps back, saying, “Oh, I’m sorry. I should have kissed you.”

But then, Fessler thankfully takes her foot off their necks, admitting she “regrets defending Jen Aydin” in her fight with Danielle. Danielle thanks Fessler, who then also makes peace with Rachel. All is well in room number one.

The Season 14 Finale begins airing. Marge’s dog, who just traveled over the rainbow bridge, is shown, creating a bittersweet millisecond. Danielle calls Teresa a loser in several scenes, and finally, Marge’s house appears, showing Marge, Dolores, and Fessler chatting over terrible wine.

Dolores again calls out Margaret’s narrative of not inviting her to the Season 13 “Reunion review” meeting. Teresa looks on in shock, noting that she’s “never seen” Dolo “that mad.”

Melissa and Danielle are shocked as well. As for Marge, she doubles down, adamant that she invited Dolores. But Teresa believes Dolores.

Wanting to check on Margaret, Dolores heads into the other room. The ladies greet her warmly, and Dolores backs down from her disagreement with Marge. “I made a bigger deal of it than it was,” she admits. Dolores then heads back to her original room.

In the next scene, we revisit Rachel hosting Danielle and Melissa at her house. “Shut up, Satan,” Aydin quips, watching Danielle happily greet Rachel. Both rooms watch as these three start discussing Teresa’s summit.

As for Luis saying that he hopes Marge’s “son suffers,” Dolores tells Teresa that Luis will get a lot of grief over this line. Teresa does not care, but Dolores holds firm. “No kid should hurt,” she stresses, as Teresa grows heated, asking Dolores to stop sticking up for Margaret.

“I’ll make sure he says sorry,” Teresa finally relents. The other room, however, stays horrified.

The ladies finally reach their last supper at Rails while dining on their charcuterie plates at, you guessed it, Rails. The moment that Aydin body-shames Nate appears as Melissa jokes in real-time about how she likes “being a whore.”

Fessler asks Danielle if she regrets lunging at Aydin. “I regret not killing her,” Danielle responds, which, yikes. After a few words of encouragement from Fessler, Danielle finally admits that she should have used her words.

Teresa and Aydin beg Margaret through the television to “own” her takedown of Luis. We then see Marge throwing Jackie under the bus. Teresa is still not mad at Jackie.

Jackie points out that while she did speak to Luis’ ex, so did Marge. Jackie also reveals she “never leaked” the warrior video, nor did she ever “air to the world” anything Luis’ ex said.

Their Season 14 Finale video ends, leaving both rooms free to process everything they just saw. Fessler only regrets her purple confessional eyeshadow. Danielle regrets letting Aydin in her house. Aydin still wants nothing to do with Danielle.

Rachel wishes she exposed Luis more. Melissa “couldn’t be happier” that this series is over. Everyone mostly agrees, but Dolores still has hope, as always.

Oh. Rachel is pregnant. The ladies in room number one embrace her as the credits roll on the Real Housewives of New Jersey series.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 is now streaming on Peacock.
