Welcome to the recap for Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, Episode 19, “Reunion Part 2.” Last week the women gathered for Part 1 of the reunion. Katie was put in the hot seat. And Jenn was forced to defend her relationship, again. One thing was for certain, Tamra and Shannon were not going to be friends in the near future.

The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion, Part 2, kept fans entertained. The tell-all picked up with Jenn questioning her friendship with Tamra. For two seasons, the women have been on shaky ground as Tamra has constantly come for Ryan. Once again, Emily brings up the fashion show faux pas to Heather. Fancy Pants continues to interrogate Katie. The cherry on top this week is that Alexis joined the ladies on the couch.

The episode picks up with Jenn once again being placed in the hot seat. As Katie tried to defend her friend, the women piled on. Heather tried to explain that most of them were coming from a place of concern, but the Yogi seemed unphased as she dug her head deeper into the sand when it came to the topic of Ryan. However, Tammy Sue did apologize for mispeaking about Ryan’s home being raided by the FBI. Jenn, who was almost in tears, noted, “These things have a real effect in people’s lives when you make these kinds of statements.” This segment was wrapped up pretty quickly because, let’s be honest, there was no drama.
Is Tamra a ‘historical friend?’

The tides quickly changed as Tamra was finally held to the fire. Jenn called out Heather for saying Tamra was a “historical friend.” The connotation is that the actress wouldn’t be friends with Tamra if it wasn’t for the show’s history. Jenn might have been on to something because Heather lit up like fireworks on the Fourth of July. “By the way, I do not talk like that,” Heather quipped and included a finger wag.
I loved Jenn’s passion as she doubled down on Tamra, sharing, “There is a common thread that no one is speaking of.” Immediately, viewers know what she is talking about. Tamra has a way of being a bit coarse and aggressive when it comes to anyone who questions her line of thinking. When asked if she feels she takes things low, Tamra noted that everyone does. But Shannon piped up to share, “I think you take it lower.” I guess Tamra never learned Michelle Obama’s quote, “When they go low, we go high.”

Jenn had a fleeting moment to relax, but it was gone in a blink of an eye. Production put together a montage of her spending, and it was not pretty. As a lawyer, Emily felt it wasn’t morally right to sign a contract to pay $12,000 in rent a month when she couldn’t afford it. I mean, the math adds up. Jenn shared that her ex was still living in the home at the time. But she opened up about being more in control of her finances. She told the cast she now knows when her car payment is due and how much is owed. This feels like a weird, humble brag coming from a 47-year-old. However, it seems like “Malibu Broke Barbie” is on her way to being a little more self-sufficient.
Alexis has been resurrected

Let’s get to the meat of this episode, shall we? Andy asked a pretty interesting opening question regarding how religious Alexis was when she first appeared in the series. Alexis once noted, “God was first. Our marriage was second. And our children were third.” Alexis revealed she still believes in those values, but the rest of the women seemed uncomfortable with her line of jargon. Honestly, I wanted to fast-forward this part but, for obvious reasons, couldn’t.
Before walking out onto the stage, Alexis claimed, “Honest to god, I don’t want to fight. I just want to speak my truth.” But the moment she stepped out onto the stage, all she could do was be Johnny J’s voice. When arguing about the blackmail videos verbatim, she repeated John as she told Shannon, “You have a strange relationship with the truth.” Come on, girl! Let’s come up with your own remarks!
The women don’t agree much, but everyone wants Alexis to stop being John’s mouthpiece.
Welcome to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5, Episode 9 recap. Last week, Bronwyn and Todd hosted a couples’ weekend in Palm Springs, but Todd said he wouldn’t tolerate any bullsh*t. Bronwyn was hurt that Meredith and Lisa took Heather’s side in their fight without listening to Bronwyn’s account of what happened. When Lisa decided to call Heather while they were in the hot tub, a fight ensued. Todd told John that either Lisa had to stop the fighting or they would have to leave. Keep reading to see exactly what went down in the RHOSLC Season 5, Episode 9: “Revenge is Best Served in Coach.”
What happened on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5, Episode 9?
In this week’s Super Sized episode, more arguing makes lunch very uncomfortable, until Seth breaks the ice with an asparagus joke. Things get heated at Todd and Bronwyn’s anniversary party, but the night ends well. Angie asks about Bronwyn’s daughter Gwen “reconnecting with her grandparents” and gets shot down immediately. The couple enjoy a day at the Thermal IndyCar Race Track before flying commercial back to Salt Lake City, and Lisa has a tantrum about having to fly coach. Here are some of the highlights from RHOSLC Season 5, Episode 9.
As they sit down for lunch, Bronwyn interviews, “There’s just nothing else we can do next after a contentious morning than just sit down and break bread together. Bon Appétit!”
Things are definitely tense. Suddenly Lisa decides to speak up. Wait, what happened to sitting down one-on-one?
“We didn’t get to finish our conversation,” she starts. But Lisa can’t stick to the subject at hand and drags Whitney into it.
“I could have sworn I was about to get an apology from Lisa,” Bronwyn says in a confessional. “I still want that apology, but it takes Lisa so long to get to an apology that by the time we almost get there, someone else is mad at her about something totally different.”
Todd’s had enough of the bickering and tells Bronwyn he’ll be in the other room. But his wife urges him to stay.
Meanwhile, John thinks Lisa is being persecuted unfairly. “Whose turn is it next to yell at Lisa?” The man must love her because he can’t see how crazy she is.
After John steps in and seemingly settles the fight between his wife and Whitney, Bronwyn confesses, “All we needed was the men to come and solve our silly little women’s problems. The end!”
A voiceover announces, “Next time on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.” Just kidding!
As everyone’s starting to settle down, Shawn says, “Did you call my wife a f*cking bitch?” And we’re off again.
Suddenly, Seth asks, “How many people here, when you eat asparagus, can smell it in your urine?” And just like that, the tension is broken.
Todd and Bronwyn’s Excellent 10th Anniversary Party on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City
“I would go to the opening of a can of tuna fish,” Bronwyn proudly proclaims. Girl loves herself a party, and she’s certainly going to throw a big one for her and Todd’s 10th wedding anniversary. “This is a big deal!”
Looks like Todd sprung for the $4 million diamond necklace after all. The caption says, “Bronwyn’s anniversary present,” as he fastens it around her neck. Wow. It’s gorgeous, but what I could do with even a fraction of that amount?
So this is an actual party. Other people are invited, and there’s a mariachi band. I love me some mariachis and margaritas!
During dinner, Angie brings out whiteboards and Sharpies. Apparently, in honor of Todd and Bronwyn’s anniversary, they’re going to play The Newlywed Game. Do we have to? This is so overdone.
When the question is, “Who apologizes first?” Seth’s answer is, “Sorry, good morning.” Meredith laughs, “He’s got more to apologize for.” There’s obviously some tension in that marriage.
Next question is, “What’s your favorite sexual position?” I would be tempted to answer, “None of your f*cking business,” but I wouldn’t be playing this stupid game in the first place.
Next question, “Who is your wife’s least favorite person at this table?” Now I see how Angie got that center snowflake. This is not going to cause trouble at all. Angie’s got her own spoon, apparently.
Are we all just “beating a dead horse?”

The conversation shifts. Lisa still thinks Justin owes her an apology, but Lisa says she was just “frustrated” with Justin because what he was saying was a lie. Oh, we’re back to this now. Can’t we just play nice at the dinner table?
“I am so over this argument about who started the Alibaba rumor,” Bronwyn says in a confessional. Bronwyn says she’s almost to the point where she wants to confess that it was her just so they can move on. In fact, she jokes that she might use Todd’s phone later to start a new Twitter rumor so they can finally “talk about something else.”
Justin finally acknowledges that his reaction to Lisa calling his wife a liar was probably stronger than he meant it to be, and he apologizes. In return, Lisa apologizes for putting him in that position. Yay! Are we done now?
In the spirit of bringing up things we all thought were settled, Meredith tells Shawn that her feelings were still hurt that he never apologized for commenting on her son Brooks. Shawn thought they were good, and in fact, doesn’t even remember saying anything about her son. But Seth pulls up a headline on his phone that says, “Shawn Trujillo Accuses Meredith Marks of Using Her Son Brooks After Gay Rumors.” Look at Seth with his good taste in entertainment websites.
“Proof, biotch!” Seth yells triumphantly. What happened to the men staying out of the women’s business?
“A headline from a random blog proves nothing,” Angie says in a confessional. Hey, Reality Tea is not some “random blog.” Puhleeze. Show some respect, Angie!
At last Shawn says, “If I said anything demeaning against Brooks, I’ll certainly apologize, but I haven’t done that.”
Finally, Meredith realizes she’s “beating a dead horse,” and she’s moving on.
Angie unknowingly steps into a minefield on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

Attempting to change the subject, Angie brings up what she thinks is a happier topic and asks about Bronwyn’s daughter Gwen “reconnecting with her grandparents.”
“No, Gwen is not reconnecting with her grandparents,” Todd says sternly. “We are not going there … That’s worse than what you’ve just been through.”
“It was a surprise when that came up with Lisa and I,” Bronwyn explains. “Not all surprises are happy in the moment.”
Todd acknowledges that Lisa’s intentions were good. “Lisa didn’t mean to step on a minefield,” Bronwyn adds. “I’m the one who showed her the picture. It was an accident.”
“This is over,” Todd says. “It’s not a minefield. It’s not even a field we’re walking into. This is not gonna happen. This is over.” Todd is very protective of Bronwyn’s daughter. He’s helped raise her for the past 10 years, so he doesn’t want to see her hurt.
“It’s done,” he announces. Subject over. How was that minefield, Angie?
In a confessional, Todd sums up: “It’s a personal issue for Gwen and Bronwyn … It’s no one’s business to discuss at a dinner table.” I totally understand his feelings on the matter.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are off to the races at the Thermal Club IndyCar Race Track

Apparently, the rest of the night went well. There was a drone show with hearts in the sky (does anybody else get the feeling that Todd is stinking rich?), they played pool, and the ladies all sat in the hot tub without screaming at each other.
“Waking up this morning,” says Whitney, “aside from a slight hangover, I think we’re all in a better place.”
And they’re off to the races. Literally. Their destination is the Thermal Club IndyCar Race Track. It’s very exclusive (I Googled it).
“Bringing the girls to a race would be one thing,” Bronwyn explains. “But this is super VVIP … Indy is important to Todd and I in that it was one of our first dates.” Todd is very close friends with retired Indy driver Davey Hamilton. Bronwyn contacted him and had him create an exciting experience for the group.
They get to meet Indy 500 Winner Josef “Ken” Newgarden, who’s racing today. He’s very cute. Seth asks “for a friend” if he’s single, but he is not. “Sorry, Heather,” he says.
They also get to visit the pit, where all the cars are serviced during the race, before retiring to their private suite to watch the race.
Bronwyn asks Lisa, “When you’re done taking selfies, can we chat?” Bronwyn wants to finish “whatever happened” yesterday.
But the racetrack is not the best place to have a heart-to-heart. It’s very, very noisy. Finally, Bronwyn gives up trying to talk above the engines, and they agree to pick it up back at the house.
Bronwyn and Lisa finally talk without resolving anything
Bronwyn and Lisa dip their feet in the pool. “I think me being friends with your friends has changed things between us,” Bronwyn tells Lisa. “And I don’t totally know why?”
“I don’t know what Heather did when she left,” Bronwyn says. “But I sat in my house in tears. I know you’re saying that Heather was … explaining her side, but Heather also dropped some bombs in there, like, I’m two-faced, and I’m conniving, and I’m mean, and that’s nasty, Lisa.”
“Lisa’s unwillingness to [defend me] tells me that she feels a way about me that I didn’t know she felt,” she adds in a confessional.
“I felt like I was in a hard place,” Lisa says. She didn’t like being in between her two friends.
Bronwyn feels like Lisa’s more concerned about Heather’s feelings than hers. “I don’t need you to be worried about my feelings,” she says. “But I was crying that day, and I’m on the verge of tears right now … Do you think it’s fair for her to say I’m terrifying?”
Realizing who she’s talking to, Bronwyn says, “I’m gonna put the bar all the way on the floor so you can trip over it. Is your experience of me that I am two-faced?”
Rather than just answering the question, Lisa repeats it back to her, which infuriates Bronwyn.
But in a confessional, Lisa admits, “It’s hard for me to answer this question because I do think [Bronwyn is] two-faced sometimes. I don’t feel like I can trust [her] 100%.”
Finally, Lisa admits to feeling bad that Heather left Bronwyn in tears. She agrees that there’s a huge misunderstanding between them.
Bronwyn just needs a little more balance. She needs her friend to support her.
Is anyone surprised that Lisa Barlow is too good to fly coach?
I guess they’re not taking the private jet back to Salt Lake City, cause Bronwyn’s booked them all on a commercial flight. As everyone’s checking their seats, Lisa has a mini meltdown.
“I don’t carry Coach, and I don’t fly coach,” she says. “No one wants to be the last one to get off the plane.” It’s no wonder Lisa’s friends all seem to turn on her when she acts like this.
She tells Angie that she needs to get to the airport so she can “fix” her ticket. Lisa needs an upgrade, stat!
“It’s a small plane,” Angie tells her. “You’re never going to get first class in this plane.”
Bronwyn explains there are only four seats in first class, so she puts herself and Todd in first class and the rest of them next to their husbands in the best seats available. She’s paying for everything, after all. Pay for your own PJ if you’re not happy, Lisa.
“Lisa losing her mind about a 47-minute flight in coach is not the brat summer I had hoped we were headed toward,” Bronwyn interviews. I had to Google #bratsummer. I had never heard that expression before. I’m officially old.
“I have already gotten Lisa a private plane,” she adds. “I have gotten her a gift; I have gotten John a gift; I have gotten them a rental house. She can sit in coach for 47 minutes. She’s gonna be fine.”

I think we can all agree that dating can be frustrating. But dating as reality TV star Erika Jayne takes it to the next level.
The controversial Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmate split from her disgraced husband Tom Girardi four years ago. Since then, she’s openly admitted that she’s had her fun. That doesn’t mean she’s off the market.
Erika recently explained why she’s raised her standards and stayed single.
Erika Jayne is doing fine on her own
On a recent episode of Two T’s in a Pod, the How Many F–ks singer shared that she’s not even on the celebrity dating app Raya. “I probably should be on there, but I’m not,” Erika said. “Does anyone know how to get me on? I have no [idea].”
Erika noted she could benefit from the dating app because of her approach when talking to men out in the wild. “I’m very direct, I’m very to the point, and men don’t like that,” she explained.
Even so, the 53-year-old bombshell has a good reason for wanting to meet someone in person. “I never look at men and find them attractive,” she told host Teddi Mellencamp. “I always say this. I’m never looking at the way someone looks, necessarily. I’m always looking at the feeling I get from them.”
During an August appearance on the pod, Erika declared she is “never going back” to dating again. She also revealed that marriage is off the table for now. “I don’t feel that that’s where I’m at,” Erika stated.
She continued, “I have a lot of work to do and I really just want to be successful on my own. I have, for my first time, my own thing. For real, for real. And being a grown-up, you know? Like this isn’t being 20 being married to your husband, and having a child. This is Erika out on her own, doing it, and it feels good.”
Survivor 47 is heating up with only 10 castaways left in the game. Now that the merge phase has begun, the competition is really on. Everyone is out for themselves and tribe loyalty is a thing of the past.
We’re getting down to the wire, so let’s take a look at the players left in the game and decipher who could win it all.
Here are the players I think have the best (and worst) shot at winning Survivor 47…
Genevieve – Could win Survivor 47
At this point in the game, Genevieve Mushaluk is my winner’s pick. I’m impressed with her gameplay so far. She flew under the radar at first, allowing bigger personalities in the Lavo tribe to do her bidding. Her alliance with Rome Cooney kept her safe. She had Lavo’s most unpredictable player in her back pocket and used him to do her dirty work.
Unlike him, she didn’t isolate any members of her tribe. Everyone trusted her and wanted to work with her, which is not an easy feat. She played it safe at first but when the opportunity to take out a major social threat presented itself, she took it. Kishan Patel would still be in the game if not for Genevieve. She looked at the tribe dynamics and realized getting rid of Rome wasn’t in her best interest. From there, she flipped the vote and orchestrated Kishan’s blindside. Genius.
Once the tribes disbanded, Genevieve was determined to make the Merge. She found an advantage that gave her a leg up in the first challenge and gave her access to the Merge feast. In the second Immunity Challenge, she (along with Teeny) won safety for her team, protecting them from Tribal Council.
One of Genevieve’s most impressive qualities is her adaptability. She protected Rome when it was advantageous for her but when he became too much of a liability, she cut him loose. She replaced him with Andy Rueda, who like Rome, was looking for someone to trust.
She’s made some big moves but has also managed her threat level. She doesn’t seem to be on anyone’s radar. I would be more than happy with a Genevieve win.
Kyle – No chance at winning Survivor 47
I like Kyle Ostwald but I don’t see a win in his future. He’s won Individual Immunity two weeks in a row, which will raise a few eyebrows. He’s proven to be a physical threat and that kind of player usually doesn’t do so hot once the Merge arrives. Now that it’s an individual game, there’s no reason to keep a player like him around.
To make matters worse, he lost his number-one ally last week. Tiyana Hallums’ shocking elimination put Kyle in grave danger. If Tuku needs to offer a sacrificial lamb, it will be Kyle’s head on a stick. There is no way Caroline Vidmar, Sue Smey, and Gabe Ortis are turning on each other.
I don’t see a clear path to the end for him unless he puts in some serious work. He’s a great player, so I hope he’s up for the task but we’ll have to see.
Andy Rueda – (Surprisingly) could win Survivor 47
Andy’s game has been insane. He had a public meltdown at the first challenge, left his Shot in the Dark lying around in plain sight, and walked away from an Immunity Idol for no reason. I know, I know, but Survivor loves an underdog. It is a miracle Andy is still there and that has to count for something, right?
He’s not playing a brilliant game but he’s also not a total idiot. He knows he’s at the bottom and he’s taking steps to change his trajectory in the game. He’s formed alliances with Genevieve, Sam Phalen, and Sierra Wright, who all have a vested interest in protecting him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Andy is still in the game come finale night.
Sue Smey – no chance at winning Survivor 47
It pains me to say Sue has no chance at winning but I just don’t see it. She hasn’t played a bad game by any means. She’s done quite well in challenges and even found an Immunity Idol. However, her relationship with Gabe will be the death of her. Her loyalty to him is perplexing. She won’t even entertain flipping on him. If she goes to the end with him, he will take credit for every move she made and she’ll walk away without a single jury vote. If she wants a shot at the million, she needs to send him off to Ponderosa.
I wish I had more confidence in her but I haven’t been impressed so far. She acts annoyed when players want to talk strategy, which infuriates me. THIS IS SURVIVOR!!!
Teeny – Could win Survivor 47
It’s easy to root for Teeny Chirichillo. She’s played a great social game and last week, she won safety for her entire team, which is sure to earn her some brownie points.
She’s a superfan, so I feel confident she won’t stray away from big moves but unlike some players, (cough, cough Rome), I trust she will be able to play the game without becoming enemy number one. I think she’s someone people would be excited to vote for in the end. Survivor can be a bit of a popularity contest and Teeny is the people’s princess. I would be satisfied with a Teeny win.
TELL US – DO YOU AGREE WITH OUR LIST? WHO IS YOUR SURVIVOR 47 WINNER’S PICK?
Tonight’s episode of Survivor was jam-packed with drama. Promises were broken, plans changed, and one player orchestrated her third blindside of the season.
If you missed tonight’s episode, don’t worry, we have you covered.
Here is everything that happened on Survivor 47, Episode 9.
What happened on Survivor 47, Episode 9?
The castaways once again competed for power in tonight’s episode. Gabe won his first Individual Immunity Challenge, while Caroline lost her vote. Back at camp, the castaways talked targets. There were about 4 different names thrown out but in the end, the group settled on Sol, who became the 9th person to leave the Island.
Keep reading for a more detailed recap of tonight’s episode.
Sam and Rachel regroup after losing Sierra
Episode 9 began with a conversation between Gata members Sam and Rachel, who just lost their ally Sierra in a shocking blindside. Sam is upset about the vote and says he and Rachel cannot trust anyone.
I understand Sam’s feelings at this moment, but I think he will come to realize Sierra’s elimination may have improved his chances in the game. His threat level has decreased now that the “Gata duo” is no more.
Her elimination gives him space to make new relationships and strengthen fractured ones. You can argue he lost two allies in that elimination because Andy flipped on him, but I don’t think that relationship is entirely lost. Sam should blame Sierra for sidelining Andy and forge a new path with his scorned ally. Sierra’s absence may also strengthen his relationship with Rachel, who previously Sam always treated like a second fiddle to his number one.
Rachel explains her Shot In the Dark move
After Sam is done talking about how the Lavo Liars will feel his wrath for taking out Sierra, we finally learn why Rachel used her Shot In the Dark.
In a confessional, she explains she had a bad feeling during Tribal Council but wasn’t sure if she was the target. She decided to use her Shot In the Dark to see how the castaways would react. She suspected she was safe because of their calm demeanor when she played it, so she decided to hold onto her Immunity Idol.
This is a brilliant strategy and has strengthened my already fond feelings about Rachel’s gameplay. She’s proving to be quite a strategic player. Unfortunately, she’s not skating by undetected. Caroline and Genevieve have clocked how intelligent she is and tried to make her the target last week. Her relationships with Sol and Teeny saved her, but who knows what will happen if she’s vulnerable this week…
Rachel and Andy form a new alliance
Andy goes on a damage-control tour after blindsiding his former tribe members. He tries to smooth things over with Sam, who doesn’t seem ready to talk game with him quite yet. His conversation with Rachel goes better. She knows it’s better to have Andy as a friend than an enemy. They decide to work together in the game.
She asks Andy who he is worried about and he says Kyle because he’s won so many challenges. Rachel agrees and says Caroline and Sue would be down to assist them in getting him out if he ever loses a challenge.
Kyle isn’t the only Tuku member in trouble this week. Sam has a conversation with Lavo, who suggests they take out Gabe this week. They think he’s a sneaky player and would prefer to take him out sooner rather than later. As a Kyle stan, I’m so relieved to hear this plan. I found myself nodding at the TV screen. Yes, go for Gabe!
Who won the Survivor 47, Episode 9 Immunity Challenge?
Tonight the castaways competed in pairs. The first two pairs to fall lost their vote and the final two pairs won a food reward. Once only two pairs were remaining, the challenge transformed into an Individual Immunity Challenge where only one castaway would be granted safety. In the end, Gabe won out against comp beast Kyle. Teeny, Sol, and Kyle joined Gabe for a Survivor feast, while Sam, Andy, Caroline, and Rachel went on a journey in hopes of getting their lost vote back.
The four players who lost their vote competed in a challenge to regain their power. Sam, Andy, and Rachel won their vote back, while Caroline remained voteless.
Who went home on Survivor 47, Episode 9?
Back at camp, the castaways were scrambling to come up with a name. Most of the group wanted Sam to be the vote but Genevieve had a different idea. She pitched flipping on her fellow Lavo member Sol. I love her so much. She brought in Tuku, who agreed to vote with her. She made the mistake of telling Rachel, who told the plan to Sam. He promised not to tell anyone but, of course, he ran to Sol and told him everything. The two tried to flip the vote on a Tuku member last minute but they were unsuccessful.

Brittany Cartwright’s mind is abuzz after filing for divorce from Jax Taylor. And yet, her mind wasn’t entirely where she thought it would be when making the final judgment.
Nevertheless, she is happy for herself and we’re happy for her. Catching Jax with other women was a dealbreaker unto itself, and that wasn’t his only problem. Jax took a brief stay at a rehab clinic, but Brittany said even that didn’t help. Regardless, by that point, she’d made up her mind.
Brittany has reflected publicly on the situation again ahead of The Valley Season 2. These public reflections had Jax posting on his IG Story about “having a rough time.” But no matter the river he cries himself, Brittany certainly won’t be shedding any tears.
Brittany Cartwright felt relief from her divorce filing: “This is done”
Brittany recently appeared on Bravo’s Hot Mic Podcast. During her interview, she discussed the things that surprised her about the upcoming season of The Valley. “In my own life,” she said, “me actually going through and filing was kind of, like, a surprise. Cos I wasn’t sure when I was gonna do it, how I was gonna do it, if I was gonna do it.”
By Brittany’s own admission, she didn’t quite feel as expected when actually filing. “I felt relieved,” she explained. “And, like, I wasn’t in there crying my eyes out like I thought I would, and it just kind of made me realize, like, yeah, this is done. This is done.”
Reportedly, at the time of filing, Brittany gave herself certain reassurances. She told herself: “I have to do this now before I back out – before he gets out of the mental health facility and pulls me back in. I have to do it now while I’m feeling strong, while I’m so angry. I’ve just gotta get it done.” So, Brittany pulled the trigger and didn’t look back, not a single tear in her eye.
We’re doing cartwheels and blasting Thunderstruck over this news! Netflix just announced that America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders has been greenlit for Season 2! We’re about to get an even closer look into the iconic cheerleading squad and all of the insane drama that goes into making the cut.
Netflix announced the news about Season 2 in a teaser showing a few of the squad members hitting some choreography before laying out their pom-poms in the shape of the number two. Check out the announcement below.
Cheering for Season 2
Season 2 will follow the NFL Dallas Cowboys cheerleading squad all the way through the 2024-25 season. Just like last season, the drama kicks off at the high-stakes audition, where the ladies have to prove that they have what it takes to don those iconic white cowgirl boots.
The news of America’s Sweetheart’s renewal comes amid a shakeup in the unscripted side of Netflix’s business. Two top executives recently exited the company, and they brought in former NBCUniversal boss Jeff Gaspin. In an interview earlier this year, he teased that there would be some changes in their approach to reality TV.
“The difference from the past is we want to focus on bigger formats, more of what you would call broadcast-style shows versus the cable-style shows. I’ve done both in my career from running NBC to running Bravo, so I’m familiar with both and I really do understand the difference,” he revealed in an interview with Deadline.
With that in mind, we’re left questioning the fate of shows like Selling Sunset or Too Hot to Handle. America’s Sweethearts, however, seems to be an exception. Netflix considers this show a “docuseries,” and the platform has an ongoing relationship with the Dallas Cowboys.
In addition to America’s Sweethearts, they’re working on a separate docuseries exploring the history of the Cowboys organization. Plus, the upcoming Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match is set to take place later this month at the AT&T Stadium, the home of the Cowboys.
Season 1 of America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders is streaming on Netflix. Stay tuned for updates on Season 2.
