Blackpink’s Rose seemingly had the time of her life performing at the Le Gala des Piéces Jaunes in Paris if her recent update is anything to go by. The K-pop star recapped the night in the city with fun backstage photos on Instagram. She also gave her fans a closer look at her interaction with fans during the performance. From some well-needed stretches before taking to the stage to giving quirky poses with her team, Rose’s new photo dump was all about cherished memories.
Blackpink’s Rose drops fun BTS photos from Paris show on Instagram
On Sunday, Blackpink’s Rose took to Instagram to drop some fun behind-the-scenes photos from her show in Paris. The singer performed at the Le Gala des Piéces Jaunes at La Défense Arena charity gala in front of thousands of fans. The pictures documented her memorable time at the event in a carousel that instantly became viral among her followers.
The first set of pictures showed the singer getting her glam done and flaunting her stylish stage fit. For the performance, Rose wore a simple black tee with her name embroidered on the upper corner. Underneath, she wore a slinky white fabric that covered her teeny tiny black shorts. Moreover, stringy details from her top added an edgy vibe to her outfit.
The Blackpink member donned black mid-length boots over grey socks that peeked over them. Leaving her long blonde tresses open in wavy curls, Rose accessorized with a string of golden necklaces and an eye-catching headpiece.
Meanwhile, other pictures captured her doing stretches ahead of her memorable performance. She also shared a fun picture with her team before showing a glimpse of her performance. The singer took to the stage for an electrifying rendition of her viral song “APT.,” sang in collaboration with Bruno Mars. She even sang her solo hits “stay a little longer” and “toxic till the end.”
Blackpink’s Rose ended her Paris carousel with a relatable three-word message that echoed in her caption. She shared a photo of her hand with the words, “1. DRINK 2. DANCE 3. FREAK” written on her palms. The singer shared a pouty selfie from her glam room to close the photo dump.
Even though Christine Brown and Kody Brown have been divorced for over three years, the former duo and Sister Wives stars are still facing an uphill battle. The dissolution of their marriage occurred after the mother of six finally realized the polygamous patriarch no longer had any feelings for her. Since their split Christine had found herself a new husband and moved on. However, there are still some issues to be ironed out regarding the custody of their daughter, Truely Brown.
Christine Brown is fighting back
Before the end of the year, Christine filed a lawsuit against Kody. The Sister Wives star revealed she had decided to sue the father of 18 for child support. In the legal documents, Christine also asked that she maintain full custody of their 14-year-old daughter. Christine filed the original documents on September 16 and showed the Utah native formally requesting the court to establish paternity of her youngest daughter. Even though Sister Wives fans know that Kody is the father, his third wife is asking for this step because he wasn’t listed as the father on the birth certificate.
At the time of Truely’s birth, it was too dangerous to name Kody for fear the authorities would arrest him for being a polygamist. Viewers will recall that during Season 1, Kody arrived late to the hospital and almost missed Truely’s birth. This was because he was hours away courting his fourth and favorite wife, Robyn Brown. Now, after their split, Christine is taking a stance and trying to choose the best living situation for her daughter. But Kody isn’t going along with her plan.
Christine Brown and Kody Brown are going to court
Not only is Christine filing for custody, but the Sister Wives star is also requesting a domestic relations injunction. This was a serious move as in the state of Utah, the injunction stops both parties from harassment, domestic violence, canceling or modifying services. By filing an injunction, the paperwork also stops Kody or Christine from taking the teenager away on any nonroutine travel without a court order. The domestic relations injunction also halts either Christine or Kody from making any disparaging remarks about the other. In the latest seasons of Sister Wives, Truely has been shown visiting Kody in Arizona on occasion.
Kody has clarified that he doesn’t want his daughter to live so far away. But currently, Christine is residing in Utah, where she is closer to her side of the family. During one Sister Wives confessional, she noted that Truely had a better support system as she was surrounded by her older sisters. More than once, Christine has bashed Kody for being an absent father. Even Truely has made comments while on the series regarding her lack of relationship with Kody and Robyn. The 14-year-old wasn’t even phased by the divorce, which left Kody stunned after he asked.
Kody Brown and Christine Brown need to talk it out
Christine has been vocal with an insider sharing, “Basically, he’s not in Truely’s life. Kody won’t go anywhere. Christine has to accommodate Kody. He’s still paranoid about COVID and everything else. So, if Christine is not choosing to do the transporting and making it happen — nor would she put Truely through any of this stress — then Kody won’t have a relationship with Truely. He would have to leave his nest to see his daughter.” Fans will recall Kody made some extremely strict rules regarding the worldwide pandemic. The rules were so serious that he lost more than one relationship with his older children.
Recently, it was reported that despite never being legally married, Christine and Kody are being ordered by the court to partake in parenting classes. The court documents revealed that the former couple were being required to attend “mandatory parenting and divorce classes, as well as mediation.” Fans can only assume that their split hasn’t gone well. The court also noted that a “guardian ad litem may be appointed for their daughter Truely if deemed necessary. And a custody evaluation could be required.” The state has decided to treat their custody like a divorce instead of a custody battle. It looks like both parties will be able to detox from this toxic situation as soon as they pass their classes.
Finally, a sous-chef is joining the Below Deck franchise on Bravo. Cheers to you, Tzarina Mace-Ralph. Two sets of hands will make for lighter work in the galley of Below Deck Down Under (maybe). But who is Anthony Bird, and will his position become the norm for this series?
I hope so, as problems typically transpire in every galley. The affluent charter guests lurking only a few feet away are wealthy and used to the word yes. From dietary concerns to personal preferences that seem picky without a purpose, our nautical chefs are burning out quickly.
Tzarina struggled in Season 2 of BDDU. Anthony might be able to help her out in Season 3. But as the trailer suggests, Anthony and Tzarina will hit rocky waters once Season 3 sets sail. Before this mess unfolds, let us first dive into all things Anthony, which might help us predict how he will present on Bravo.
Anthony Bird has a solid resume

Working as a chef on a superyacht is not a gig for the faint of heart. The kitchen, aka the galley, is nowhere near the size of what a typical chef might find on land. Likewise, the demands and behaviors of their guests are all over the map. Partner this with changing palates every time the yacht turns over, and you have the recipe for a ship-sh*t show on Bravo.
However, we already know how Tzarina will present. She is a solid chef who only improved as Season 2 rolled along, coupled with a quick attitude adjustment midway through the season. And now, according to his Bravo bio, we also know that Anthony is coming on board highly skilled, holding 5 years of experience in the yachting industry.
On Instagram, Anthony has posted a few images of his creations. I can not tell you what is on each plate because fancy I am not. However, his dishes look phenomenal, well-plated, and colorful, so he probably knows what he is doing. However, in his Instagram bio, Anthony labels himself a “Sole Yacht Chef,” which might be a foreshadowing uh-oh tease for Season 3, as Anthony will be a sous-chef, not a sole chef, on board.
Oh, Anthony also knows how to bake. On his TikTok account, he posted a reel that includes freshly baked bread, puff pastries, and a dessert that, again, I have no idea what it is, but I know that I would devour it in one sitting. If his dishes taste as good as they look, then his charter guests and Tzarina are lucky.
Fun facts about Anthony Bird

I am a big fan of Bravo’s posted bios right before each new season of BDDU airs. As noted, Anthony is a Sagittarius from London, and he is likely to help us live, laugh, and verbally lunge at our screens at least once or twice in Season 3.
With five years of experience on his resume, Anthony has seen some things during his years spent over international waters. But mainly, his biggest gripe is having “charter guests ordering food all day and all night,” leaving “no rest for the wicked.” For Andrew, this gig is “nonstop, but [he keeps] the energy up” and delivers their incessant asks during charters, he notes.
His favorite place to set sail is “Antigua, which [offers] pure fun, incredible vibe[s], and unforgettable energy both on and off the water.”
When Andrew is off duty, he enjoys watching Below Deck. “It is fun to see the industry from different perspectives,” he suggests. Andrew also digs “Cooking, watching football, enjoying a cheeky pint (and hearty meals) at country pub[s], hiking, Crystal Palace FC matches, and being in nature.”
What does the sneak peek for BDDU Season 3 tease about Anthony Bird?
The BDDU Season 3 sneak peek contains mixed reactions to our first-ever BD sous-chef, Anthony. In his first scene, Anthony smiles, pulling pots and pans out as Tzarina flambés a dish nearby. Next, we see the charter guests giving Tzarina and Anthony a standing ovation, clearly pleased with a smokey presentation. Then, the scene shifts again, showing Tzarina and Anthony dancing triumphantly in the galley, making us all believe this combination worked well on BDDU.
But several beats later, everything changes. First, Anthony appears, sharpening his knives. In the background, we hear his voice narrating, “You need to utilize me a little bit more.” Then, Tzarina appears at his side, asking him to lower his defense mechanisms in the galley.
In response, a frustrated Anthony explains to Tzarina that he does not get defensive. Tzarina then notes that Anthony thinks he is better than her. Finally, we see Captain Jason Chambers entering the galley, telling his chefs that if they cannot control themselves, he will have to step in and handle things as he sees fit (basically).
At the end of the Season 3 sneak peek, a firing transpires. Anthony is likely safe, but Tzarina appears in this clip, joined in the wheelhouse by the new Bosun and Chief Stew. If Tzarina gets axed, Anthony might be able to snag his desired “Sole Yacht Chef” title. But, I would not stake any money on this theory, as Captain Jason harbored a soft spot for Tzarina in Season 2, so she might not be the one getting sent home early this season on BDDU.
The international franchise was a hit, thanks to the cast of Season 1. The OG Aussies consisted of Krissy Marsh, Nicole O’Neil, Athena X Levendi, Lisa Oldfield, Matty Samaei, Melissa Tkautz, and Victoria Rees. The group of women reeled me in as they didn’t skimp on the drama. Lisa was one of the most controversial stars and argued with every single cast member at the time. Athena was like the Aviva Drescher of Sydney. She was quite delusional and really rubbed viewers the wrong way. She refused to be picked on and often overreacted while hanging out with a group of friends.
One star who has been a constant on the series, Kerry Marsh, is the girl fans loved to hate. She acted holier than thou and often could be compared to Countess Luann de Lesseps during her early pretentious years. The other returning housewife, Nicole, is so sweet. It is almost a juxtaposition to watch her on the Real Housewives of Sydney next to the rest of the hot messes. But Season 1 wasn’t exactly a hit down under. However, after a six-year hiatus, the gang was given a second chance.
Don’t sleep on the Real Housewives of Sydney
I’m going to be honest for a second: the show is insane on all levels. After watching Season 1, I understand why the network needed to shelve them due to their mean-girl ways. The original group was a bit toxic, though it didn’t stop me from watching. But Season 2 came back with a cooler attitude and some new faces. Along with Kerry and Nicole, fans welcomed Terry Biviano, Victoria Montano, Caroline Gaultier, Sally Obermeder, and Dr Kate Adams. Now, Season 2 has its moments that will live in infamy. Firstly, Victoria runs a high-end clothing business that sells fur. Ye,s fur in this day and age! Even though it has been “recycled” fur, whatever that means, Dr. Kate took offense.
During the season, Dr. Kate makes Victoria take her fur off on the way to a zoo. Now, common sense should have told Victoria that a fur-lined jacket wasn’t the right outfit. But Dr. Kate took it an extra step and really made sure to belittle V. I’m not saying it was nice, but it was a great TV moment. Victoria really surprised me in a good way, as I probably judged her a little too quickly after the first episodes. I ended up finding her to be very funny and down-to-earth.
The Real Housewives of Sydney is getting its third season
The ladies are back! Now, I am going to need to see Krissy step up to the plate. I expected more from her and Nicole by proxy, which is especially confusing as Krissy would often make little digs about Kate in her confessionals. Yet nothing really came to a head. But the trailer just dropped, and I spy with my little eye a cameo from Jackie Gillies! Only the best psychic medium and star of the Real Housewives of Melbourne. If you know, you know…
But I digress. Season 3 is coming at us and showing the ladies on luxury trips and in the middle of even more drama. There is a new girl in town, Martine Chippendale, from Sydney’s posh Darling Point. From the trailer, she and Kerry don’t seem to get along. The women are bringing the fashion trends from Oceania and aren’t backing down when airing out their grievances. As Terry notes, “We are women. Let’s act accordingly.” But I’m afraid she will be sorely disappointed. Season 3 of the Real Housewives of Sydney looks too good to miss. I am already popping my popcorn as I type this in anticipation.

It’s hard to believe that 90 Day Fiancé has graced our television screens for over a decade. The OG show celebrated its tenth season last year and as expected the eleventh season will arrive shortly. A few days ago, the 90 Day Fiancé Season 11 trailer officially dropped. And well, there’s a lot to unpack.
While viewers had high hopes for Season 11, the trailer didn’t bring the excitement many were hoping for. This season will feature seven couples, three returning and four new. Shekinah Garner and Sarper Guven are the most familiar faces, following their appearances on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. Season 11 will also include two couples from 90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise.
There were several red flags in the first look of Season 11, which concerns us that this season won’t be up to par. While we are hesitant about this season, we hope that it will prove us wrong! Nonetheless, here are our concerns as of right now.
The returning couples on Season 11 aren’t fan favorites

Typically, almost every 90 Day Fiancé season features returning couples. Oftentimes, these are the couples who draw viewers to the season as they’re already familiar with them. The main returning couple for Season 11 are Shekinah and Sarper, but the problem is that they’re not a favorite with fans. Many viewers became frustrated with the couple during The Other Way Season 6, as they found their story to be boring and repetitive.
On the other hand, the other two returning couples hail from Love In Paradise. This isn’t one of the more popular 90 Day Fiancé spin-offs, as many viewers don’t watch it as much as the others. Shawn Finch will return with his fiancée Alliya de Batista, as she makes the move to California to marry him. While they were one of the more popular couples on Love In Paradise, many fans still aren’t super familiar with them.
The other returning couple are Jessica Parsons and Juan David Daza. When I first watched the Season 11 trailer, it took me a minute to realize that we had seen this couple before. Unlike Shawn and Alliya, Jessica and Juan did not have a prominent edit on Love In Paradise. There were several more popular couples from recent spin-offs that producers could’ve cast on Season 11 for a more favorable opinion. Unfortunately, they missed the mark.
Season 11 will include overdone 90 Day Fiancé story lines

While Season 11 features four new couples, some of their storylines seem to be anything but original. One of the new couples this season is Stevi and Mahdi, the latter of whom hails from Iran. From the trailer, it looks like Stevi and Mahdi will clash over religion and cultural differences. I can’t count how many times 90 Day Fiancé has pushed the agenda of a Muslim man clashing with his American partner over religious differences. As a member of the Muslim community, I love seeing the representation. However, I wish that individuals from Middle Eastern countries could have segments not focused entirely on religion.
Another classic 90 Day Fiancé story is the large age gap couple. This will also be shown once again this season, through Mark and Mina. Mark is 25 years older than Mina, who will be joining him in the US from France. The couple have a 2-year-old daughter together, although Mark’s adult daughter questions Mina’s intentions. At this point, it feels like we’ve seen dozens of storylines with the same dilemma. Hopefully, Mark and Mina will find a way to stand out.
Including a throuple this season may be pushing it too far

For the first time in 90 Day Fiancé history, a throuple will be featured on the show. Matt and Amani are a married couple currently living in San Diego, although their marriage holds a shocking secret. The couple has introduced Any from Mexico into their relationship as a third. In the trailer, Matt and Amani reveal that they plan to divorce to bring Any to the US on a K1 visa.
The visa process is already complicated enough but divorcing to bring a third over just feels strange. There are many individuals in monogamous relationships who face obstacles in reuniting with their partners. This makes Matt and Amani’s plan particularly frustrating, as it feels like they’re scamming the system. There are certainly plenty of shows for people like Matt, Amani, and Any, but 90 Day Fiancé shouldn’t be one of them.
90 Day Fiancé Season 11 premieres Sunday, February 16th at 8/7c on TLC.

Katy Perry is holding on to a core memory from her pregnancy journey. Four years after giving birth to her daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, whom she shares with fiancé Orlando Bloom, the singer shared an interesting secret. In a recent interview with Capital FM, Perry revealed that she still keeps her pregnancy test stick from when she found out she was expecting her daughter. Furthermore, the star revealed that she kept it in a unique spot and it has something to do with Bloom.
Katy Perry keeps her pregnancy test stick with Orlando Bloom’s Legolas ears
On Wednesday, Katy Perry sat down with Capital FM to reflect on some of her “iconic” social media posts. Sharing a photo of her pregnancy test stick, the singer revealed that it dates back to when she discovered she was pregnant with Daisy. Perry further detailed how she informed fiancé Orlando Bloom of the news.
Perry recalled that Bloom wasn’t with her when she found out about her pregnancy. She remembered Facetiming him while she was on a hike to give him the good news. The singer then confessed to holding the pregnancy test stick close to her. When the host asked where she had kept it, the star revealed that it was in a “drawer with lots of things.”
Katy Perry further detailed about the spot, saying, “You know what else is in a drawer? It’s probably right next to Orlando’s Legolas ears.” The mother of one quipped that the stick and Bloom’s movie prop from “Lord of the Rings” were with all of their other important things. Meanwhile, fans could relate to Perry’s new revelation. Many took to the comments section of Captial FM’s post to confess that they too had kept their pregnancy test stick safely.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, in August 2020. The singer announced her pregnancy as a surprise to her fans. She flaunted her baby bump in the music video for her song “Never Worn White” in March of the same year.

Supermodel Bella Hadid can pretty much pull off any piece of clothing. Even when it comes to activewear, there is no exception. Recently, she once again showcased her expertise in making performance apparel look stylish while taking a stroll on the streets of New York City. Her outfit included a greyish-black top and a pair of navy blue workout tights. The model further enhanced her look by wearing a black athletic jacket with a front zip.
To make her entire look more cool and stylish, Hadid donned a bomber-style black jacket over the fitted zip-front jacket. The overall outfit was body-hugging, so it naturally flaunted the model’s toned figure. As for shoes, Hadid rocked a pair of calf-length, black leather boots. She was also seen carrying a brown bag that featured colorful floral patterns.
Bella Hadid accessorized her fit with a pair of huge silver hoop earrings and Y2K brown sunglasses. The supermodel went for simple makeup to go with her activewear NYC look. It included a light pink blush on the cheeks and a glossy pink lip. She kept her dark hair in a sleek pulled-back hairstyle. The Orebella founder further wore a headband to keep the hair secure and showed off her clean and sophisticated manicure look in the photographs.
A day ago, Hadid gave another stylish look to the photographers in the Noho neighborhood. This time, she was seen in a light brown jacket, washed-out bell-bottom jeans, a black headband, and her Y2K dark shades.

Sofia Vergara is wasting no time delivering stylish looks in recent photos. The actor has been busy with her recent shoot in London in collaboration with Schwarzkopf. From displaying a stunning blowout to nailing chic fashion, she is doing it all while also sharing some fun behind-the-scenes moments with her fans. The “Modern Family” star recently updated pictures from her most recent photoshoot with the brand where she wore a slinky figure-hugging LBD that left her followers swooning.
As Schwarzkopf’s global brand ambassador, Sofia Vergara is booked with back-to-back photoshoots in London. The actor is giving a glimpse into some of these shoots on social media, and the pictures prove that she is the perfect muse for the brand. On Thursday, Vergara took to Instagram to share a picture of her posing in a black LBD for the most recent session.
Vergara’s outfit might look minimalistic at first glance, but she effortlessly pulled off a chic fit and made it look glamorous. The LBD featured full sleeves and a figure-hugging bodice that highlighted her toned physique. A risqué thigh-high slit added some sultriness to the otherwise simple piece. Furthermore, the diamond pattern in the sleeves contributed to the plain all-black ensemble’s texture.
Letting her black LBD do all the talking, Sofia Vergara paired it with as minimal accessories as possible. She wore small loop earrings and some rings and topped the outfit with black peep-toe heels. Keeping her long golden tresses open, the actor posed confidently for the cameras. She also took to her Instagram Stories to share some more fun moments. One footage captured her stunning dance moves while another saw her wrap up the shoot with some glam photos.
Meanwhile, Chris Appleton, Schwarzkopf’s global color ambassador and hairstylist, also featured in her photos. A day before, Vergara flaunted her stunning brunette hair in a new blowout as part of the Schwarzkopf shoot. She donned another chic piece, including a black turtle-neck top and red pants.
Is anybody else still sweating from last week’s episode of The Traitors? Boston Rob effortlessly taking down Bob the Drag Queen will go down in reality TV history, but boy did it catch us off guard. We’ve barely recovered from it, and this week, it’s clear that the players haven’t either.
In The Traitors Season 3, Episode 5 “All This Murderous Power,” we watch how Boston Rob’s gambit slowly started biting him in the ass. His fellow Traitors don’t trust him, and the Faithfuls have become suspicious. Is time running out for the Survivor legend in this game? Let’s get into the details of what went down this week.
What happened on The Traitors Season 3, Episode 5?

After Bob the Drag Queen’s elimination, the surviving Traitors tried to get back on the same page. However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that isn’t going to happen anytime soon. Meanwhile, the Faithfuls continued to let last week’s coffin shortlist muddy their search for Traitors. By the end of the episode, we saw two more Faithfuls get booted from the competition.
Boston Rob has some explaining to do

Episode 5 picked up with the three remaining Traitors in their turret. Obviously, the energy was a little awkward because Boston Rob still had Bob the Drag Queen’s blood on his hands from the roundtable.
In an attempt to get back in good favor with Carolyn and Danielle, he tried to explain why he had to go after Bob. The three of them agreed to move past it and vowed to communicate more effectively. But, this is reality TV, and effective communication isn’t the name of the game.
In a confessional, Carolyn admitted that she felt like she couldn’t trust Boston Rob after what he did. If he was willing to throw Bob under the bus, how does she know she’s not next? You’d think Danielle would feel the same way since after all, she called Bob her “ride or die.” Strangely, that wasn’t the case.
In Danielle’s mind, it’s Carolyn who is the bigger threat to her endgame because she could have a Survivor alliance with Rob. Therefore, she explained in a confessional that from this point forward, she’s throwing Carolyn “under the bus.” She wants to get Carolyn eliminated, bring in a new Traitor, and then use them to take down Rob. Unfortunately for Big Brother fans, this is just one of fifteen times in this episode where you have to ask yourself, “What is this woman thinking?”
Who did the Traitors murder in Episode 5?

Although the Traitors were in complete disarray, they did come together to kill yet another Bravo star. The next day at breakfast, the players learned that Robyn, The Real Housewives of Potomac’s Green-Eyed Bandit, was murdered in the middle of the night.
In a flashback to the turret, we see that killing Robyn was mainly Boston Rob’s idea. Carolyn wasn’t down for it, but once again, no one wanted to listen to her. We’re eagerly waiting for Carolyn to find her voice in this game because right now, she only has one in her confessionals.
In an exit interview, Robyn theorized that the Traitors killed her because she was a “threat” to their game. That’s a pretty interesting assumption from someone who voted incorrectly at every single round table. Bless her heart.
One thing that Robyn said that we do agree with is that the Traitors are going to have to work twice as hard now that Bob is out of the picture. Plus, Bob put a huge target on Rob’s bag on the way out the door. It’s not going to be easy for any of them to make it to the end.
“The Traitors are sweating bullets,” Robyn accurately predicted.
Riddles, urns, and questionable strategies
Photo Credit: Euan Cherry/Peacock
For this week’s mission, Alan brought the players into a chapel filled with golden urns and candles. We were just a little distracted by Alan’s headpiece, and in a break from the physical challenges, this week’s mission was purely a mind game.
Alan would recite a riddle, and one player would have to find the answer to the riddle among a bookshelf full of urns. If they break the urn and find golden ashes, that adds money to the prize pot. If they see grey dust that looks like cremation remains, that means they answered wrong and are out of the game.
Of course, there was a twist. With only two shields up for grabs, the winner of each round would get to select someone to get the shield. If you’re playing for immunity, that meant that the last couple of riddles in this game were the only ones that really mattered.
This is where Danielle went completely off the rails. A good Faithful would try to give themselves a shield to get protection from murder. Instead, Danielle got up there and gave Dolores the shield, claiming that she didn’t want to see another murdered Housewife.
Now, if there’s anyone who would be on board for saving the Housewives in this game, it’s your friends at Reality Tea. However, this excuse made absolutely no sense. Rob and Carolyn were in the corner like, “What the hell is she doing?”
Danielle solved a second riddle and had the chance to redeem herself. This lady turned around and did it again! She had two chances to give herself a shield, and she didn’t take either of them. Red flags aplenty with that move.
Then, to make matters worse, Danielle tried to pull the same move that Rob did last week. After the mission, she got in the car and almost immediately began gunning for Carolyn. She straight-up said her name to a car full of people, setting the stage for an all-out war between the Traitors.
A crack in the Bambi alliance

While the Traitors’ alliance slowly imploded, so did the Bambis. We were rooting for them, so this was truly a bummer of a storyline to follow this week. From the moment they entered the game, Chrishell, Gabby, and Nikki had forged a friendship, but the game finally caught up to them.
After surviving the coffin last week, most players were suspicious of Nikki. Gabby made it clear that she didn’t care if Nikki was a Traitor. She said she had a double standard for her friend. Chrishell on the other hand? Well, she didn’t feel the same way.
In a stunning move, she went behind her alliance’s back and told Boston Rob that she finally felt convinced that Nikki was a Traitor. You know Rob was jumping for joy on the inside while playing it cool in Chrishell’s face.
According to Chrishell, it all came down to a facial expression that Nikki made. Thank goodness Chrishell sells houses and doesn’t solve crimes for a living because she couldn’t be more wrong here. Either way, she put the final nail in Nikki’s coffin later that night at the roundtable.
Who got banished at the end of Episode 5?

This week’s roundtable kicked off with Lord Ivar setting the stage. He established that there were three people up for debate: Ciara, Nikki, and Boston Rob. Bravely, Ivar confronted Rob about how strongly he came for Bob the week prior. How was Rob so confident that Bob was a Traitor?
Bob from The Biggest Loser jumped in and tried to help Ivar make his case, but Rob deflected. Fortunately for Rob, the misguided theory about the coffin kept everyone focused on Nikki and Ciara. The two ladies went head to head, desperately trying to prove their allegiance to the Faithfuls.
That’s when Chrishell entered the conversation. All of a sudden, we were reminded that this woman was a soap actress long before she was a reality star. Through “tears,” she explained how Nikki’s shift in energy led her to the conclusion that she was a Traitor. Dramatic music thundered in the background, really amping up the theatrics.
With the Bambi alliance fully shattered, Nikki didn’t have much fight left in her. The votes rolled in, and she became the latest player banished from the game. It wasn’t close. Nikki voted for “Ceara” while Dylan randomly voted for Gabby.
With the votes tallied, Nikki went to the Circle of Truth and shared the news that everyone at home already knew. She was a Faithful after all, and the Bambis betrayed each other for no reason. Cue a few more of those soap opera tears.
New episodes of The Traitors stream every Thursday at 9/8c on Peacock.

Selena Gomezis proof that a super basic white tee is the perfect choice of clothing if you’re looking to get into the zone. The actor recently shared a video on her Instagram Stories where she teased new music. She was all smiles as she hinted to fans about something that she was working on. The star opted for a comfy fit and bare minimum glam to record the video, which left her fans excited over her upcoming project. As of now, Gomez hasn’t confirmed any new music releases but the little tease is enough to keep everyone wondering.
Selena Gomez drops video in casual clothing and makes it look good
On Wednesday, Selena Gomez took to Instagram Stories to share a video of herself in casual clothing, listening to something with her studio headphones. This was enough for fans to speculate that the singer was going to release new music. Regardless of whether or not it’s a song release or an entirely different project, Gomez’s video proved that simple fashion always manages to stand out from the rest.
The video saw Selena Gomez wearing a sleeveless basic white tee with her over-the-ear headphones on. When the actor turned her phone towards the computer screen, it appeared that she was wearing an all-white ensemble, including white pants. The screen, however, wasn’t visible as she covered it with a large red heart emoji. She swapped the camera back to her and smiled adorably before ending the video.
The smile further highlighted her subtle glam that complemented with the basic white tee. Gomez kept it minimal with some rosy blush and lip balm while choosing to enhance her natural beauty. She styled her tresses in soft waves, which contributed to the simplistic look. The room appeared to be her studio, which featured different musical instruments and a cutesy frog pillow.
Meanwhile, fans have been excited over speculations that Selena Gomez might release new music. This started when her fiancé, Benny Blanco, shared a TikTok video of Gomez sitting on a couch and adjusting her microphone.
