Don’t even think about asking Jason Tartick on a date right now. He’s not interested. The 36-year-old Bachelorette alum isn’t ready for romance following his recent breakup with Kat Stickler. Jason has a new focus moving forward after being unlucky in love twice in the last couple of years.

Honestly, it shouldn’t be too surprising that the Bachelorette alum isn’t ready to move on from Kat just yet. It’s only been about three weeks since he announced he had broken up with the influencer in what they called an “amicable split.”
“It’s fair to say that I love hard with all my heart and fall fast,” Jason wrote in an Instagram Story announcing the breakup. “Sometimes in life, that works out and other times it doesn’t. This time it didn’t.”
Although it had been less than a month since the split, a reporter from People asked him about his future dating plans. They caught up while attending Heidi Klum’s infamous Halloween party, and Jason quickly explained that he was not in the “mindset” for dating.
“I’m mentally not there right now,” Jason admitted. “I’m just trying to take care of myself right now.”
Fortunately, Jason seems to be moving into a new phase of the breakup. He’s not wallowing inside and binging on ice cream. He said the Halloween party was his first time getting “out and about” since the split, so that’s a big step.
He noted, “It’s good to change it up a little bit.”
The Bachelor Nation star first confirmed his relationship with Kat earlier this year. It was his first public romance since ending his engagement to Kaitlyn Bristowe. When those two called it off, Jason said he was experiencing “tidal waves of depression.” With that in mind, it’s probably wise for him to take a break from dating. Refresh and reset, Jason!

Since 2010, TLC’s hit show Sister Wives has been a staple on the network. Viewers have come to know Kody Brown and his four wives after watching them through multiple life milestones. The series initially showed a jovial polygamous family navigating the roads to living a more accessible life. However, as the years went on, Kody started to lose sight of his dream, pushing Christine Brown, Janelle Brown, and Meri Brown away. The seasons have fallen behind on filming, and now fans are bored. So, could Sister Wives be heading for its last chapter?
Where did the Sister Wives rumor originate?
Some Sister Wives viewers started to freak out after a viral Facebook post went live noting the show’s cancellation. The post appeared on several Sister Wives groups and seemed genuine. The image was convincing as it showed the network’s featured photo with a big red “Cancelled” stamp over it. The blurb noted that the once-popular series would be coming to an end after Season 19. However, there has been no official word from the network. And we’ve had false alarms before.
But it is hard to deny that Season 19 is only six episodes in, and fans are bored out of their skulls. TLC has fallen behind with filming for the past two seasons, with the newest season being taped in 2022. Loyal viewers have been getting real-life updates on the cast’s social media and feel that this is all old information. TLC has yet to put out an official statement regarding the future of their show, but there have been some Easter eggs hinting at the show’s end.
The Sister Wives theme no longer exists
At the start of Season 1, Kody noted, “Love should be multiplied, not divided.” But the father of 18 is singing a very different tune. Viewers started watching the series when the family all lived under the same roof in Lehi, Utah. Their lifestyle was foreign to most viewers, and the premise was interesting. However, fast forward to the present day, and fans are now watching Kody live a monogamous marriage with his fourth and favorite wife. The family is split as Janelle has moved to North Carolina and Meri and Christine to Utah. It seems complicated to film a family series when they are no longer together.
Christine has also moved on. Once Kody’s third wife, she was now moved on to a new marriage with David Woolley. It also doesn’t help that the Sister Wives showcases his disgruntled relationship with many of his older children. Kody took his COVID-19 rules too far and alienated his offspring, causing fights among fights. As a viewer, it’s been hard to watch the children become upset, and Kody’s constant spiraling has grown old. Frankly, the fans have been left confused by the plot of the once-popular franchise.
Fans of Sister Wives are voicing their concerns
TLC is very aware that fans are disappointed with the last few seasons of Sister Wives. And viewers are not holding back by how disheartened they are. For instance, almost no one is interested in watching Robyn Browncry for the millionth time about being unable to sit on a porch with her sister wives through her twilight years. I believe there is a chance that the Sister Wives, as we know, could be coming to an end. But I think TLC is more than happy to sort a spin-off of some sort. Fans have noted they would be more than happy to see Janelle and Christine flourish in their lives. Janelle recently announced she was starting her own farm, too. So the material is there!
Even Meri, Kody’s first wife, noted that the show would eventually have to come to an end. While on The Sarah Frasher Show, Meri noted, “Is it on the downhill? I mean, we have been going for so long. It is not something that is going to go forever. It is just not. No show ever goes forever. But you cannot predict it either. I do not think that we ever would have thought that we would have gone this long, and we have. People like the drama.”
Sister Wives remains in limbo as fans are learning not to believe everything they read online.

Karen Huger of the Real Housewives of Potomac has always been a formidable force. As an OG of the series, Karen likes to hold herself up on a pedestal, and she often refers to herself as The Grand Dame. But in recent years, Karen has taken a bit of a tumble from her high horse. And the rest of the women are not letting her indiscretions slide. In the most recent episode, Mia Thornton made sure to hold Karen accountable for her DUI. But did Mia and the cast take the attacks a bit too far?

While driving from the airport, Mia tried to get some answers about Karen’s court date. But the mother of two refused to say a word. Karen hardly got a chance to eat her scrambled eggs the morning of Wendy Osefo’s birthday because she was getting annihilated from all sides. Mia revealed that Karen had butt dialed her three years ago. The former stripper shared that she heard Karen cackling, saying, “Those girls think I’m with Ray.” Even though Karen brushed it off as a conversation with her driver, Mia wasn’t relenting. Mia dropped the news because she felt her friend, Jacqueline Blake, was being attacked by the OG for no reason. It was clear Karen felt backed into a corner after being bombarded with rumors and questions.
She finally lashed out at Jacqueline. Karen accused her partner, Patrick, of having 25 convictions. We all knew what Karen was doing. She was blowing the smoke onto someone else to save herself. Karen is great at “spewing facts,” but personally, I think she was tired of constantly defending herself against this group of friends.
Calling Karen Huger names wasn’t cool
Both Mia and Jacqueline went hard for Karen this past week. As Jacqueline tried to give a questionable toast to the birthday girl, she slipped and noted, “When you hold grudges, it’s going to make you a bitter old b*tch.” Yikes, ladies! Save something for the reunion. Karen sat idly by as she let her two frenemies chat sh*t. But again, I think you could tell the name-calling was wearing her down.
For Mia, spilling the tea about Karen made sense. She told Page Six, “She had spent the entire day coming after my girl … I just felt like she was trying to accuse Jacqueline of being a liar and that she’s not telling the truth and that she makes things up.” Multiple Real Housewives of Potomac cast members have claimed to have been butt-dialed by Karen, including Gizelle Bryant. On Sunday’s episode, Ashley Darby added, “The streets have been alive with some of Karen’s forays. I’ve heard some things, seen a couple things. So I believe with every fiber of my being that Mia and Joy are telling the truth.”
Does Karen Huger deserve a break?

Karen’s trial for her DUI is coming up on December 16. Until then, the RHOP star will keep her cards close to her chest. However, it feels like she has already been judged by the masses. I am a firm believer that you are innocent until proven guilty. Do I think Karen did something wrong? Yes. But I will be waiting until the trial to be given the facts. It must be exhausting for Karen to have to put on a brave face through filming. In this fan’s humble opinion, Karen, from day one, has been the villain we all love to hate. But even villains need to be given a day off every once in a while. That said, I don’t think Karen’s indiscretions should be ignored.
But I think her costars should have thought about her feelings just a bit more. Once again, Season 9 was filmed during the same months where Karen lost her mother. She obviously had the DUI charges, and her marriage to Ray Huger has once again been called into question. There is only so much one person can take. So, in the spirit of the holiday that is approaching, maybe Karen should be given just a bit of grace. Maybe the ladies should have talked to her privately instead of airing her dirty laundry. But sadly, I doubt Karen will be able to catch a break because Mia and the rest of the ladies are ready to see Karen squirm in the hot seat.

It’s no surprise that Janelle Brown and Meri Brown didn’t always see eye to eye. In earlier episodes of Sister Wives, the two women would often butt heads over family ideas. Janelle once noted that she chose to keep far away from Meri. But in the newest episode, the mother of six opened up even more about Meri and how she would often feel disconnected from the polygamous family.
Meri Brown and Janelle Brown had a massive feud
Sister Wives viewers learned early on that Janelle was once married to Meri’s brother, Adam Barber. The plot thickens in this incestual group. Janelle’s mother was married to Kody Brown’s father at the time, making them step-siblings. Yikes, this family tree can get confusing fast. Janelle wasn’t married long, only from 1988 to 1990. However, she met Kody in 1989 while she was still married. Janelle always claimed she had an intense connection to Kody, and throughout the season, the pair definitely seemed like soulmates. Janelle even attended Meri and Kody’s wedding in 1990.
In the family’s book Becoming Sister Wives, fans got their first glimpse at the feud between Meri and Janelle. The duo never developed a true friendship, but Janelle and Kody connected on a “cerebral level.” That kind of reads as if she was calling Meri dumb, but that could just be my interpretation. The book notes that Meri and Janelle often become embroiled in intense fights. Meri even admitted that she was “harsh and aggressive” toward her sister wife. Needless to say, the pair never got on the same page, and they had a frosty relationship for years.
Janelle Brown opens up about the family disconnect
Now that Janelle and Meri have both left Kody in the dust, the mother of six is opening up more about her polygamous family. While speaking on the Reality Life with Kate Casey podcast, Janelle noted that there had always been a disconnect with spouses, especially when it came to the patriarch’s first wife. Janelle shared, “I mean, she and Robyn were always pretty close.” Janelle seemed to understand why Meri pulled away.
She shared, “I do think when Leon left the house, and she was an empty nester before we were, she started to develop a lot more interest outside of the family. Because yeah, she had time.” But according to Janelle, Kody’s first wife had a close alliance with his fourth. She noted, But I know she and Robyn were always pretty close to a lot of things. So I don’t know if she was separate. I mean, she and Kody had been estranged for many, many years.” Meri touched on her failed marriage with Kody in the latest episode. She stated, “I feel very peaceful about our situation, but he doesn’t. Some of the things that he’s saying are really, really, really mean. He clearly has a lot of internal [feelings] that he still needs to work on here.”
Janelle Brown claims Kody Brown has changed
The Sister Wives star also brought up how Kody has morphed into someone she doesn’t know. For the last few seasons, fans have watched Kody turn from a jovial man into quite the Scrooge. The father of 18 takes everything personally and feels as if his children have betrayed him. He no longer had room in his heart for his first three wives, eventually pushing them to the side. Janelle told the host, “He’s changed. We all change. We all evolve, but I just don’t recognize this guy.” Janelle laughed as she said, “I don’t know who this guy is. He is not the man I married all those years ago. And I’m probably not either. It just happens.”
For a woman scorned, Janelle is so understanding, which I think shows her character. While Kody is out bashing his wives, Janelle has kept the moral high ground. When asked what changed for Kody, his second wife noted, “I don’t know. Turning 50 was a big deal for him. Sometimes, people realize they want more. But he did. He has changed for sure.” As for Janelle, she is moving forward in a positive light. She recently moved to North Carolina and started a farm with her daughter.

Host Nick Lachey often refers to Love Is Blind as a social experiment. The show tests if a person can fall in love without physical attraction. The couples meet, date, and get engaged behind a wall without ever seeing each other. The purpose of the show may seem far-fetched but the show has produced 11 married couples thus far.
Fans of popular reality shows will tell you that the most exciting part of the series is the moment when a new couple sees each other for the first time, This meeting, often referred to as the “first reveal,” has produced some of the most iconic moments in the show’s history. Most couples are delighted with their fiance’s appearance. However, a few couples’ awkward first exchanges proves that physical and emotional chemistry don’t always match.
Let’s take a look at some of the reveals that made us believe Love isn’t blind.
Here are the most awkward reveals in Love Is Blind history…
**FOR THIS LIST, WE WILL ONLY BE CONSIDERING LOVE IS BLIND: US**
Hannah and Nick – Love Is Blind, Season 7
Hannah Jiles had certain expectations about what her fiance Nick Dorka would look like. The two formed a connection sight unseen but Hannah couldn’t help but create a mental image of the man behind the wall. She expected him to be big and tall since he briefly played professional football. Unfortunately for Nick, he didn’t measure up to Hannah’s expectations. She couldn’t hide her disappointment during the reveal and even admitted she was surprised by his appearance in a confessional.
“In the pods, he described himself as a football player, like, bigger, medium build, 5’11,” she told producers. “What he said, I don’t think was really truthful.”
Nick, on the other hand, seemed smitten with his fiance, which made the situation even more awkward. At the reunion, he admitted that he told some of the guys he was “underwhelmed” by Hannah’s appearance at first, but he never voiced that to her or producers.
Irina and Zach – Love Is Blind, Season 4
Irina Solomonova and Zack Goytowski may take the cake for the most awkward Love Is Blind reveal. It was clear Irina was not attracted to her fiance and wanted to get the hell out of there. She was creeped out by his intense eye contact and even compared him to a cartoon character. Ouch. At one point, Zach leaned in for a kiss and Irina turned her head, so he had to kiss her cheek instead. It was brutal.
“Just a hug for now…But thank you,” she told her fiance after rejecting the kiss.
These two (obviously) didn’t make it down the aisle. They broke up in Mexico and Zach rebounded with his other pod connection, Bliss Poureetezadi. The two said “yes” at the altar and are now expecting a baby, so it all worked out in the end.
Chelsea and Jimmy – Love Is Blind, Season 6
Jimmy Presnell’s disappointment wasn’t quite as obvious as Irina and Hannah’s but it was clear he was caught off guard by his fiance’s appearance. Fans couldn’t help but clock his side-eye while embracing his future wife. In a confessional, he admitted he felt “lied to” by Chelsea Blackwell.
“She definitely lied to me [about] what she looked like,” he said. “Chelsea told me she looked like Megan Fox. But at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter. I’m very attracted to her. I can work with that.” Yikes.
His awkwardness at the reveal led fans to believe he was not interested in his new partner. In Mexico, the pair’s connection was put to the test and unfortunately, they crumbled under the pressure. They broke up before the wedding.
Brittany and Leo – Love Is Blind, Season 7
Leo Braudy and Brittany Wisniewski‘s first reveal was extremely awkward. Brittany was sure Leo was the man for her in the pods but at the reveal, she acted like he was a creep hitting on her in a bar. She seemed super uncomfortable, describing her first moments with her fiance as “one of the most awkward moments of her life.” Ouch. She explained her odd behavior at the reunion, telling fans her reaction had nothing to do with Leo.
“I wasn’t uncomfortable with him,” she said. “I know there’s a lot of talk about him kissing me and touching me, but he was the most comforting part of that moment. You’re pretty used to being on cameras at that point, but it’s like, you know there’s all eyes on you. So, I was really leaning into him for comfort.”
“Honestly, I wished he kissed me more to shut me up because I was filling the blank spaces with stupid words,” she joked.
Leo’s “comforting” presence wasn’t enough to make the relationship last. They broke off the engagement shortly after.

Does Real Housewives of Dubai have anywhere to go from here? Bravo has stopped the show in its tracks. Its fate is almost entirely up in the air, but things aren’t looking good.
RHODubai was always a bit of a gamble on Bravo’s part. From its announcement, the show faced criticism. The Housewives franchises are arguably feminist media. Moreover, Bravo properties generally hold a special place in the hearts of LGBTQ+ viewers. As such, fans criticized the very premise of RHODubai.
Why would Bravo set a flagship franchise in a location with observable human rights issues? Unfortunately, it would seem the network’s gamble did not pay off. The Season 2 reunion went out with a fizzle rather than a bang in viewership. And at this point, a potential cast shakeup won’t be enough.

On November 7, Us Weekly reported that RHODubai was officially “on pause.” An insider told the outlet, “The cast was told a couple days ago.” As of right now, that’s about all there is to know. Us Weekly reached out to Bravo for comment with no response as of yet.
Those who have kept a close eye on RHODubai might have seen this coming. According to TV Deets, Season 1 performed moderately well with an average of 590,000 live viewers per episode. Unfortunately, Season 2 suffered a huge dip with about 291,000 average viewers per episode. Now, if the show is taking a hiatus, it probably means Peacock viewership isn’t much either.
We can compare Dubai to a show like Real Housewives of New York. As TV Deets reports, the Season 14 reboot averaged 506,000 viewers – even less than Dubai’s first season. However, Bravo reported that RHONY performed very well on Peacock. That said, RHONY Season 15 is currently performing more in line with RHODubai Season 2, which isn’t a great sign, even with Peacock.
Along with Dubai, Bravo recently announced pauses for Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard and Winter House. Still, a pause doesn’t mean the end. Dubai very well could come back down the line. But as it stands, fans perhaps shouldn’t get their hopes up.
Real Housewives of Dubai is streaming on Peacock.

It’s been over a week since Love Is Blind Season 7 concluded, but Nick Dorka is still stewing over his confrontation with Hannah Jiles. She put him on blast at the reunion, and now he’s working overtime to try to defend his honor. He really doesn’t want to be the villain of the season.
In his latest attempt at redemption, he doubled down on the stance he held at the Season 7 reunion. He swears he never called Hannah a “grenade.”
Did Nick blow the grenade whistle?
During the Season 7 Love Is Blind reunion, Hannah showed up ready to argue. She had a list of grievances to air out, and one of the most surprising was her accusation that he called her a “grenade” shortly after meeting her for the first time.
Now, we do have a hard time believing anyone is running around using the phrase “grenade” like they’re in a 2012 episode of Jersey Shore. However, Hannah swore up and down that Nick insulted her looks. All of the ladies of Season 7 backed her up, leaving Nick feeling ganged up on.
Nick explained, “I did tell Ramses [Prashad] and Garrett [Josemans] off-camera in guy talk [that] I was a little underwhelmed by how she looked.”
According to Nick, that “guy talk” wasn’t supposed to be repeated. However, we know that reality TV’s best moments are born from comments that were never supposed to be repeated. Nick learned that lesson the hard way, and in an interview with Us Weekly, Hannah revealed she actually learned about the “grenade” comment from Marissa George. That means that if anything, he should be mad at Ramses.
“[Marissa] was the one who told me about the grenade comment and the rating thing,” Hannah explained. “She had known in Mexico, but kept it from me for a while because she didn’t wanna hurt my feelings, which I totally understand.”

Outside of the grenade comment, Hannah also confronted Nick over a notebook she found where he listed out his 90-day vision. Hannah said that one of his goals was to become the “most famous” person to do Love Is Blind. He didn’t deny that, but he claimed it was taken out of context.
“I wanted to find someone on that journey,” Nick explained. “I want people to like us as a couple and thrive that way.”
According to Nick, his notebook was just him “messing around” so it shouldn’t have been weaponized against him. He said the real red flag in that situation was the fact that Hannah went through his stuff. He said it felt like an “invasion of privacy.”
“Why are you going through my damn notebook? That’s not cool,” Nick said. “I don’t want a partner going to pick up my phone, type in my password and go through it. That’s not who I am.”
Since Hannah has been battling Love Is Blind trolls ever since the first episode dropped, Nick theorized that she tried attacking him at the reunion to try to win back some cool points.
“Maybe she got a bad edit or she needed to save face and she wanted to get at me even more,” Nick speculated. “There was no point in bringing it up because that was before I met [her.]”

Elections have consequences—even in House of Villains. In this week’s episode, we faced the aftermath of Larsa winning the popular vote in last week’s Battle Royale Challenge. She became the Supervillain of the Week, and her first act? She nominated Camilla, Victoria, and Teresa for the Hit List.
Not only did Larsa betray her fellow Real Housewife, but it was the final nail in the coffin of her friendship with Victoria. Now, they’re officially frenemies, and that’s a dangerous place to be with a Housewife. Let’s dive into the details of House of Villains Season 2, Episode 6, “Welcome to NY, New Jersey!”
What happened in House of Villains Season 2, Episode 6?
Photo Credit: E! via YouTube
With the help of an extra-special guest, the villains on the Hit List competed in a Redemption Challenge to keep their spot in the competition. Meanwhile, New York had another psychic vision that left her no choice but to confront Teresa. By the end of the episode, another villain got kicked out of the competition. Plus, Mr. Pecactular oiled up his body and squeezed into a speedo for the Banishment Ceremony. Truly, there was something for everyone in this episode.
Of course, everyone was freaking the hell out over Larsa’s weird choices for the Hit List, but there was hardly any time to panic. They had a Redemption Challenge that sent them back to high school. That’s even scarier than being up for banishment!
The villains ventured to a high school, where none other than Tori Spelling came emerging in a sexy schoolteacher outfit to introduce the challenge. It was good to see her taking a break from battling the mold in her house to do something fun like House of Villains. Slay, Tori!
This week’s Redemption Challenge was called Erase to Escape, and Tori explained that her school had been “vandalized.” The names of a bunch of villains, past and present, were stamped all over the walls, lockers, bathroom stalls, and everywhere else you could imagine. Each villain had their name listed 85 times, and the three, at-risk villains had to race to erase their names the fastest. The first villain to erase all 85 names would win safety from elimination.
Once the villains got started, it became clear that this would be a very tedious challenge. It became particularly challenging for Teresa, who revealed that she struggles with her eyesight. In a confessional, she said she wanted to get “Lasiks” before coming into the House of Villians. She didn’t have time, and it cost her the challenge.
While Teresa blundered through the challenge, Camilla and Victoria stayed neck in neck. It all came down to one final name they had to find. Victoria managed to find hers the fastest, and she got erased from the Hit List.
Campaigning to stay alive

After the Redemption Challenge, the villains immediately started discussing their plans for elimination. Wes and his cult were immediately ready to throw Camilla to the wolves, primarily as revenge for putting him on the Hit List.
With that in mind, Kandy and Camilla immediately went to work to try to secure votes. They already sacrificed Richard by voting with the majority of the house. Now, the numbers are even more stacked against them.
When campaigning with the other villains, Camilla tried to explain to them just how badly she actually needed the $200,000 compared to Teresa. That’s life-changing money for Camilla, whereas Teresa has been on The Real Housewives of New Jersey for over ten years. She doesn’t need it nearly as badly.
Meanwhile, Larsa was going around the lair warning everyone “not to vote against the house.” She also bizarrely tried to claim that Teresa needed the money just as much as Camilla because she was “raising four daughters” and having to pay off Joe Giudice’s legal debts. It’s a ridiculous argument from a deeply unserious player.
Another psychic vision rattles the house
Elsewhere in the House of Villains lair, we learned that Tiffany had another psychic vision. This time, she saw a vision of herself getting banished from the game. She told Victoria that she only had three days left in the game.
When Victoria heard that information, she “panicked” because Teresa had mentioned wanting to target New York if she survived banishment and won Supervillain of the Week. A self-proclaimed “slut for a psychic,” Victoria decided to tell Tiffany that Tre was coming for her. That teed up the clash of the reality TV titans we’ve been waiting for.
Armed with nothing but psychic visions and secondhand knowledge, Tiffany went straight up to Teresa and said, “You know what? F-ck you, Teresa. You bitch! You coming for me? You’re coming for New York?”

It took a moment for Teresa to activate her Real Housewives of New Jersey mode, but once she did, it was glorious. She and New York went toe-to-toe in an argument sent straight from reality TV heaven.
During their back-and-forth, Tiffany took a shot at Tre’s beloved Luis Ruelas. He had been sending Teresa love notes the entire time they were filming, and that day, he sent her a giant bouquet of roses.
“You know why Luis really sent those roses? It’s because he’s guilty, bitch,” Tiffany argued. “He’s been f-cking around, and each one of these roses represents how many times she’s cheated on your ass since you’ve been here.”
Somewhere in New Jersey, Margaret Josephs is sipping an iced coffee and cackling at all of this. New York really let Teresa have it.
The battle continued, with Teresa accusing New York of being jealous of the roses she got from Luis. Tersa said the word “jealous” in this episode just as many times as Larsa mentioned The Traitors. It was a lot.
Once the two went to their separate corners, Teresa realized that her strongest allies in the house were the men. She went downstairs and told each of them, “You’re a fresh of breath air.”

New York blowing up on Teresa seemed like it should have sealed one more vote for Teresa to get the boot. Right before the banishment ceremony, Safaree also told Camilla that he’d vote for her to say. That meant that Jessie, in his wrestling gear, should have been the deciding vote on whether to eliminate Camilla or Teresa. Right? Wrong.
At the Banishment Ceremony, Joel announced that with a vote of 4-2, Camilla from Bad Girls Club became the third villain eliminated from House of Villains Season 2. Like a true Bad Girl, she threw up two middle fingers before getting flipped out of the competition.
“I think I was eliminated because I put Wes up, Camilla theorized in an exit interview. “He’s a bitch and he’s a sore loser. He felt threatened. I am a threat. I’m glad I put his ass up.”
Camilla also had some parting words for Safaree, who seemingly lied to her face about trying to keep her in the house. Either he lied, or someone else did a last-minute switch-up. Regardless, Camilla made her thoughts on him very clear.
She continued, “And Safree, you let a redhead control your game? F-ck you, Safaree.”
Season 2 of House of Villains continues on E!, Thursday nights at 10/9c.

Welcome to the recap for Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, Episode 18, “Reunion Part 1.” Last week, the women of the OC made sure to celebrate Jenn on her surprise yet not-so-surprise engagement to Ryan. In between the festivities, Heather tried to talk to Kate, but to no avail. Shannon shunned Katie’s husband, Matt, when she mistook his kindness for aggression.

The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion came in hot. Whether it was due to their metallic-themed gowns or just having the Midas touch this season, the ladies all wanted to be heard. Shannon and Tamra tried (yelled) to hash out their season-long conflict. Each shared their own version of events. But neither was heard in the heat of the battle. Heather once again tries to confront Katie, and Jenn is finally placed in the hot seat.

After the formalities were out of the way, Shannon and Tamra wasted no time in butting heads. The Real for Real owner explained that the pair could never form a true friendship after Tamra came back into the fold. Even though I think Tamra was trying to extend an olive branch, all Shannon could muster up to say was, “A lot of open wounds here,” as she pointed to herself. But that was the theme of Season 18, wasn’t it? Both have not spoken since the finale. Shannon shared she “doesn’t use alcohol to cope.” But Tammy Sue disagreed, noting she still felt her former friend had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol.
I must admit that Tamra sat on the couch as cool as a cucumber as Shannon tried to call out her bad behavior. Shannon’s monologue was great: “I went to a place for 30 days. And you had the audacity at Gina’s dinner to say ‘Lies. Lies. Lies.’” But Tamra came with the tea and noted, “Because you called me drunk several times after that. That’s why. One time, you called me drunk and went off like a crazy woman on me. Then you called me back ten minutes later and had the same conversation with me.”
Oh, if Shannon’s voice isn’t a meme in the morning, we’ve done something wrong. By the first commercial break, the two were in a stalemate, with Tamra doubling down that Shannon had drank during her time in treatment.
Katie and Heather’s fighting was just par for the course

While I was hoping to get a bit more information on Katie’s upcoming Korea trip, instead, viewers had to listen to three different renditions of how Heather snubbed the newbie at Sutton’s party. Mostly everyone agreed that the incident never happened because Heather would have been an idiot to do that, and she isn’t “a moron.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen Heather so passionate about something.
She bluntly told Katie, “It was weird. I was very interested in meeting you. Nothing about you adds up. I think there is a story for everything. And I think you have absolutely no credibility.” Katie didn’t stand a chance as she faltered on her comebacks. Heather quickly quipped, “By the way, falsely accusing people is kind of your thing,” hinting at a lawsuit filed by Sidnei Silva accusing her of reporting a fake crime.
Jenn had to answer the hard questions at the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion

Sadly, Jenn still very much looked like a deer in the headlights as Andy tried to softball her questions about Ryan. For the yogi, that “day was hard. And I felt like Ryan went one way, and I went another way.” But not once did she think of ending her engagement. I mean, where would she live? Jenn’s version of events was confusing as she shared the FBI talking to Ryan happened seven months before the party. Jennifer revealed Ryan had two Zoom calls with the bureau.
Jenn didn’t appreciate how Tamra insinuated Ryan was the one in trouble. Thank God for Emily, who at least dumbs it down for viewers and Jenn. The lawyer insinuated that Ryan was involved after Jenn said he was innocent. Em stated, “That’s not true. I’m telling you everything I’ve read, he is involved. And for order to him to have immunity, he testifies.” When Andy asked how Ryan would have been given immunity, Emily said, “I think he is giving them information about Matt so they can prosecute.”
Jenn questioned Emily’s research, saying, “I don’t know where everyone gets that.” But Emily was done with the charade and clapped back, “Before I’m an attorney, and that’s how it works.: Naturally, Emily got the last word, telling Jenn, “You always do this Tammy Wynette Stand by Your Man thing. And sometimes, you just need to be accountable. ”
Ramses Prashad is not feeling anything but happiness for his Love Is Blind ex-fiancée Marissa George’s new relationship. He hopes for nothing but the best for her and her new mystery man.
Ramses shared that he knew she was dating someone even before the social media launch and was thrilled she had met someone who could make her happy.
Love Is Blind’s Ramses Prashad is sending good vibes his ex-fiancée’s way
“I was aware she was dating someone,” Rases shared on the The Viall Files podcast. “She’s been dating him for the last few months or earlier in the year, and yeah, I’m happy for her. If it’s someone that can embrace her for who she is and she’s happy, then that’s great!”
Because he knew already, Ramses said that Marissa’s hard launch didn’t “catch him off-guard.”
Marissa teased her new boyfriend, although she hasn’t revealed his name yet. She posted footage of the two of them dancing together on Halloween with the caption, “Life has a funny way of surprising you. I never expected to fall in love again, let alone with someone who embraces all my energy and flaws.”
She added, ‘When we first met, I asked him if I was too much. He looked at me, confused, and said, ‘What do you mean?’ I simply said ‘Never mind,’ and from that moment on, I never questioned my energy again.”
So all’s well that ends well. Ramses admitted to being unable to be who she needed. The pair split up during Love Is Blind Season 7 and it was painfully obvious the pair weren’t well suited.
Now it looks like she’s found someone who can be what she needs. “It’s going very well,” Marissa shared about her new relationship.
As for Ramses, he’s also moved on as well. And him and Marissa? They don’t keep in touch. “She texted me once after the reunion but it went from we’re pretty friendly now to nothing there. That’s fine. I really do want her to move on,” he shared.
