Sandoval’s inability to accept responsibility for cheating on longtime squeeze Ariana Madix has riled up Jax. He accused him of being a “narcissist” and called him “next-level sociopathic.” I wasn’t aware that Jax had a degree in psychology to go with his experience as a reformed cheater.
Now Jax is sharing more of his deep thoughts about his former friend. US Weekly has all the details.
Sandoval’s new life as a rock star karaoke singer
“I think he’s going through something. I don’t want to say midlife crisis, but he’s definitely going through something,” Jax stated. He continued, “I think he’s had a little bit of a diva mentality on the show, where he kind of thinks nothing could touch him, and I think he kind of bit off a little more than he can chew.”
This is coming from the former number one guy in the group. But Sandoval’s decision to go on a tour with his cover band as a glorified karaoke singer is suspect.
“His tone-deafness and self-unawareness and selfishness is just on another level. I think something’s going on upstairs,” Jax said. “I think he’s got a few screws loose, personally.”
He added that he and the VPR cast are “all on the same page” about how they feel about Sandoval. The man with a cheesy mustache has two businesses with bestie Tom Schwartz. Even Schwartz was tired of Sandoval leaving him to clean up his messes.
How this will play out on Pump Rules next season remains to be seen. And if you have been pining for more Jax, he may be heading to our screens in the spin-off, titled Valley Village. His wife, Brittany Cartwright, and former fling Kristen Doute are reportedly also joining the cast.

Over the past four seasons, Below Deck Sailing Yacht has served us a fair share of entertainment and drama. Poor management, crew relationships, firing of cast members, and issues with Parsifal have created some of the best moments on television. But one element that never fails to deliver are interesting charter guests, something stew Lucy Edmunds can attest to!
The Season 4 finale of the hit Bravo series saw her deal with poor hygiene from the guests, which I am cringing at, even as I write about it now. If it wasn’t enough, the charter guests, which included a throuple, got into a major argument and were almost beating each other up before Captain Glenn Shephard intervened.
I have seen a number of guests grace Parsifal, but this collection of rogues might top the list of being my least favorite…
The crew had to get through one final charter before the end of the season, but it turned out to be one of the most disappointing experiences of Lucy’s life. The guests made a mess in their rooms, got sick in the sink, and didn’t even flush the toilet after pooping. Poor Lucy ended up breaking down when this happened a second time. I don’t blame her!
Lucy was right on deck when the charter guests were having some incredible food cooked by chef Ileisha Dell. However, what looked like an amazing dinner quickly turned chaotic when the guests engaged in a heated argument.
In an interview with Showbiz Cheat Sheet, the Below Deck Sailing Yacht stew recalled the incident, saying it was “heavy.” She failed to understand the guests’ behavior, before saying, “The guests [fight] and that was crazy. And definitely watch it because it’s going to be mad, to be honest. Really, really mad.”
She further said, “Even when I see it I definitely know I’m gonna be shocked too. It happened all so quickly. You’re exhausted and some people, you know, I just don’t get how they behave.”
The cast of Season 4 were pushed to their limits – both in their duties and with the guests they were handed this time around. One arrival suffered injuries, some guests accused the crew of jewelery theft … we’ve definitely seen everything!
The Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 two-part reunion starts Monday, July 17, at 8/7c on Bravo.

Shutting down the rumor mill once and for all. Craig Conover broke his silence over alleged hookup claims made by Sonja Morgan during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live. Craig has had his fair share of drama and chaos over the course of his reality TV career, but this was unexpected, and to be honest, quite strange.
Bravo fans were left looking for answers. BravoCon has given us a fair bit of gossip, rumor and scandal, but Sonja’s revelation took it to a whole other level. Out of all the Bravolebrities at the event, she chose Craig? I question your choices, Sonja!
Well, better luck next time, as the man himself has finally had his say about the claim that he hooked up with Sonja. Setting the record straight, at least from where he’s standing, he claimed that the duo never had a “tête-à-tête.” In no world did I believe it in the first place, but it is what it is.
Craig Conover silences the ripples in the cornfield
Sonja Morgan’s revelation on WWHL had rumors swirling all around the Bravo universe. During her appearance alongside her fellow Luann and Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake castmate, Luann de Lesseps, she made the startling claim.
At this point, I have begun to question the kind of games played on WWHL. You can debate me all you want, but I can give you many ludicrous examples. Nevertheless, during one of these moments, host Andy Cohen asked Luann which single male Bravolebrities would she be interested romantically.
The screen showcased many, dare I say, really questionable choices – one of them being Southern Charm star Austen Kroll. Luann went with Austen; I mean what other choice did she really have? Meanwhile, Sonja chimed in and said she “did the other one,” indicating Craig.
When Andy followed up to ask if she’d made out with Craig, she revealed that the duo had “a little tête-à-tête.” Something that the Summer House star denies.
On a recent episode of his Pillows and Beer podcast with Austen Kroll, Craig claimed they never kissed, and that he hadn’t seen Sonja in around five years. Are we missing something here? Sonja, you should’ve come better prepared. Or maybe now is the time to bring out the receipts.
Craig further said, “Sonja has always been a funny friend to have … She’s aggressive, she’s a bundle of fun, but no, Sonja and I have not kissed. Sonja was just having fun on Watch What Happens.”
While he took her statement as a compliment, the reality star clarified that he’d remember if something of this fashion had ever happened. Who to believe?

The only time I’m ever here for reporting on Dog the Bounty Hunter is when someone is putting him in his place for his disgusting and hateful comments. By now, you’re used to the washed-up reality star saying racist and homophobic things. These accusations come not only from the press, but his family too. In 2007, his A&E show was canceled after his son released a phone recording of him saying racial slurs six times.
Since then, his daughters have spoken about his detestable behavior, and when you thought it couldn’t get worse, it does. Many conservatives have been up in arms with Bud Light in the last few months over their partnership with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney. In an interview Dog did with an online Christian ministry, he shared how the world was supposedly lacking masculine men. Well, he kept going, and even threatened the young influencer’s life.
Dog is still just as ignorant
During his homophobic rant with Sharell Barrera, the has-been bounty hunter referenced Bud Light and their decision to work with someone in the queer community. “People playing church all led to Bud Light. Is that right? Get that punk down. Rebuke Satan out of him and just give him a couple black eyes. That’s exactly and I mean that. If I ever see him, I’m dropping him,” he stated while he, his wife, and the show host laughed.
What a disgusting this to say and promote on a Christian platform. But hey — we are talking about Dog, here. He’s the lowest of the low, and advocating for violence in this way is not the least bit surprising.
Dog’s daughter, Lyssa Chapman, commented on her father’s statements, saying that’s not who she knows him to be. She told TMZ that she spoke with her father after the interview to gain understanding; however, the conversation was mostly them yelling at each other.
His other daughter, Bonnie Chapman, also addressed the statements with her take on Jesus’ message.
“Jesus loves everyone and would strongly denounce this non-accepting rhetoric. It is utterly repulsive to advocate violence against our transgender community, and it is equally repulsive to invoke Jesus’ name in vain to support such views.”

What a season of Temptation Island we’ve had so far. The four couples are looking likely to all go their separate ways when the final credits roll. That was never more apparent than it was this week. The highly-anticipated Temptation Light twist finally made its way into the villas, and things got hot and steamy under the covers. Let’s dive into exactly what went down in Temptation Island Season 5, Episode 5…
Everybody has doubts

“Sometimes I wonder if right person, wrong time exists,” Makayla says to Hall as the episode opens up. He replies that this is the exact situation they’ve found themselves in; and they’re not the only two with their concerns. Great believes he’s the reason for Tamie and Nafeesah’s bust up. Tamie makes it clear that she is “washing my hands” of Great, which makes her actions later in the episode a little confusing.
Meanwhile, Vanessa opens up about her problems in being vulnerable. She had a previous relationship where she felt “safe,” and when that was taken away, she found it hard to trust anybody ever again. She doesn’t want to give somebody else the power to hurt her, by opening herself up. It sounds like a recipe for disaster. But in saying that, it was nice to finally get some honesty from Vanessa. If she continues to let her walls come down, she may become even more watchable.
Truth or dare?

Nafeesah says she gives Tamie a “taste of her own medicine,” when a game of Truth or Dare results in her getting to kiss Great. It’s all very petty, high school stuff. Tamie, despite “washing her hands” clean of Great, wishes she’d got the opportunity to kiss him. Is this man really worth all of this energy? He gives off about as much charisma as a cardboard box. “I know Tamie’s blood is boiling right now,” Nafeesah laughs. Is she even that interested? Or just happy to have “won” in this battle?
Hall, meanwhile, says that his biggest fear when it comes to a relationship, is one person lying to protect the feelings of their partner. Yep, it’s a confession. He’s been lying to himself about seeing a future with Kaitlin, and he may be ready to move on…
For her part, Kaitlin is actually missing Hall. Sure, she’s hugging Sebastian and enjoying getting to know some of the single men, but her mind is firmly on a future with her fiancé. It’s gonna be a tough bonfire for her, next episode.
The arrival of the Temptation Light
(Photo by: USA Network)
Host Mark Walberg arrives to reveal what the new light fixture in each villa means. He explains that it will glow an ominous red when somebody’s partner has given into temptation. They won’t know exactly who, but they will know that a line has been crossed. Vanessa has a bit of a meltdown, and says she’ll be keeping an eye on the light 24/7. Over in the guys’ villa, Great feels it’ll always be Paris straying when their light emits the eerie red. He might not be wrong on that one.
In celebration of the new addition, each villa hosts a party. The guys’ villa is enjoying Temptation High Prom, while the girls’ villa have a casino party. Paris apologizes to Tahjjic for an earlier conversation in which she demanded some clarity from him. He warned her that he wasn’t going to be giving her the answers she needed until at least a year into any relationship they may form. After a few hours apart, they got back on the same page.
Marisela is getting newfound attention from single man Kristian. She’s enjoying it, and thinks he looks great in his white suit. So much so, that she later invites him to cuddle in the bedroom. They exchange massages, before a steamy kiss. Not sure where that one led!
What we can be sure of, is that Great and Nafeesah did the dirty. They had sex! He is officially over his relationship with Paris. Nobody feels they can blame him, given the footage he watched at the first solo bonfire of the season. As the Temptation Lights go off in both villas – twice in the girls’ villa, as Roberto kisses Desiree – the parties turn up even further.
The solo bonfire makes its return

The second solo bonfires of the season have arrived. We first get to see the men’s reaction to what their women have been getting up to. Great watches as Paris enjoys a lap dance, kiss, and night with Tahjjic. He looks stunned, and immediately closes off any idea of going back to her when the experiment is over. Mark reminds him that he too has done some questionable things in the villa, and that he shouldn’t jump the gun in passing judgment.
Christopher is next up. He sees Marisela with Kristian, and questions whether their intimacy may have led to sex. Chris says that Marisela should be “ashamed of herself,” admitting he is “shocked, disappointed … my heart’s beating out of my chest right now.” He claims that Marisela set boundaries before they came on the show, and she has been the first one to break them.
Over to Rob, who watches a tame video of Vanessa twerking. “That doesn’t really phase me … the more I let her go, the happier I am.” While Mark is impressed in how strong Rob has been, he actually thinks he could be “exactly the guy Vanessa needs.” It’s something to chew over, but it looks as though Rob has well and truly left Vanessa in the dust at this point.
Finally, Hall sees Kaitlin hugging Sebastian. The tamest of all the videos! But then, the confession. “I’ve always known deep inside that she’s not the one for me,” Hall says. Then the credits roll, and we have to wait until next week’s episode to see if he’s going to actually close the door, and start officially making moves on Makayla.
Temptation Island continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on USA.

Happiness. It’s something we all strive for, whether we realize it or not. For some, it’s all too easy to find. For others, it’s entirely elusive. For those who broadcast their entire lives on reality TV, one has to wonder just what percentage of their emotions are accurate.
Take Ariana Madix for example. The woman has all too many reasons to feel devastated after what happened on Vanderpump Rules Season 10. But now that Scandoval is over, she can finally get away from Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss (hopefully).
We don’t know what VPR Season 11 has in store for us, but as of right now, Ariana seems to be doing well. At least, that’s what a recent video from TMZ would suggest. Granted, we know stars behave differently around the paparazzi. Still, what she had to say was very interesting.
Is Ariana Madix finally free?
The pap following Ariana quoted the oft-used phrase, “Everything happens for a reason,” and asked Ariana if she felt she was content with where her life was now. Ariana said, “Um, yeah, I’m happy right now,” in a pretty upbeat tone.
When asked if she felt everyone had moved past “the whole cheating thing” now that filming has started up again, Ariana said, “I don’t know. I haven’t thought about a lot of these things.” It wouldn’t be surprising if Ariana was trying to put it all out of her mind.
The pap then asked how she was preparing for Dancing with the Stars. “I’m just trying to stretch,” she laughed. With some further questioning, Ariana also admitted that she didn’t think Tom or Raquel would be joining the cast (though, she’s already wrong on one front if Tom can be taken at his word).
Vanderpump Rules Season 11’s airdate has yet to be announced.
