More Drama For Jules Wainstein: She Called The Police On Husband Michael After She Was Hit With A Tax Lein

Jules discuss eating disorder with carole

My heart is really aching for Jules Wainstein. In such a short time she went from basically being in the background on Real Housewives of New York to being front page news for the troubles in her marriage with Michael Wainstein. First of all, the divorce news was a major shocker. Then, after rumors that the show was to blame Jules’s rep confirms that Michael was cheating. On top of that, the last episode was really not a good look for the couple with Michael’s weird insistence on showering and his attachment to his phone.

You know what they say, “when it rains, it pours,” and that definitely seems to be the case for Jules these days. There seems to be more drama accumulating by the hour. This is far from an amicable split between Jules and Michael.

As if Jules wasn’t stressed out enough, the reality star has been hit with a tax lien! And in case you were wondering, this does not pertain to any joint property that Jules has with Michael. According to the Daily Mail, Jules owes $25,000 in bills related to a New York penthouse that she is listed as sole owner for. Apparently she bought the place with her sisters, but her name is the only one on it. She does not have a job outside of the show and now would be a super awkward time to ask Michael for money, so I’m not sure how she’s going to handle this one.

And things have actually become even worse for Jules. The two got into some sort of altercation and Jules called the police. Daily Mail obtained a picture of a police officer carrying a written statement with the words “threatening me… going to ruin my life,” blaring and very easy to see. Jules rep has not commented on the incident, but even if that never happens it is clear that the former couple has reached a breaking point.

On top of that, more news is coming to light about Michael’s alleged affair: it is rumored that the woman was friends with Jules. To be fair, I have no idea if it  is actually a good friend of hers or if it’s just someone she knows, but either way it sounds like an awful situation.

It does make you wonder why Michael insists on showering as soon he gets home and who he is always texting. It’s just a sad situation all around.

NeNe Leakes Admits To New Nose Job; Says She’s Helping Porsha Williams’ Ratings On Dish Nation

ClHwURBVAAAnoJk

ClHwURBVAAAnoJk

NeNe Leakes and Vivica A. Fox were the guests on Watch What Happens Live tonight. It’s been a while since NeNe was on the show, so Andy started off with a game of catch up.

Has she been in touch with Cynthia Bailey since her separation? “Yes, I talked to her this morning. She’s doing good.” She also says she’s good with Peter and talks to him.

On rumors in the tabloids that she and Porsha Williams are feuding: “I’m not feuding with Porsha.” Andy asks “is she feuding with you?” NeNe says “She might be – her and her little job over there at Dish Nation. They always talk about me, but they should continue, I help their ratings.”

Was she surprised that Kenya Moore and Matt broke up? “I’m not surprised. I didn’t think they were a match. I don’t think he’s Kenya’s type.”

She shares that she has not seen Kandi’s baby yet but she sent a nice gift.

NeNe says that as far as she knows Kandi and Phaedra are no longer friends. When Andy asks if she knows how Phaedra and Apollo are doing she says, “well, he’s in prison so they can’t be doing too good.”

Which Housewives have came to her comedy show so far? “Cynthia.”

A caller asks about NeNe’s plastic surgery. She admits that she had her nose done again (the first time wasn’t a total rhinoplasty) for medical reasons. She says the cartilage was growing in her nose and the tip of her nose was touching the top of her lip when she smiled. But I have to say that even her lips/teeth are different, too. And something with her chin/cheekbones but that might just be because of the new nose. I don’t know. But her new nose is giving me Tamar Braxton, no?  She said she’s still very swollen – it’s only day 13 post-surgery.

A caller asks Vivica to say three nice things about Kenya Moore and says that NeNe can help. NeNe says, “She has great hair, She has great eyes.” Vivica says, “she finally got her house done and it has big closets.”  NeNe adds that Kenya works a lot and can be a lot of fun.

A caller asks NeNe when she talked to Kim Zolciak last. “I talk to Kim all the time. I talked to her like a week ago. We’re good.”

 And that’s it – short and mellow episode tonight!

Big Brother 18: NO Battle of the Block, New Comp Revealed!

Time to get ready for a NEW twist since Battle of the Block (BOTB) is officially dead, at least for Big Brother 18.  Executive Producer Allison Grodner did hint at the possibility of it coming back in the future, but I suppose only time will tell.  CBS does like to recycle twists (i.e. the twin twist).  The announcement of BOTB not being a part of the new season also came with the reveal of the first twist of the season.  There is going to be a new competition on the Sunday night episodes!

Battle of the Block Meme

As far as we can tell, there will still be Have-Nots, but Grodner told The Hollywood Reporter they wanted to change things up and “keep the stakes high in the sunday show because we didn’t want to go back to Have-Not competitions.” I can kind of agree only because there wasn’t a whole lot of impact on the game as a whole. With no competitions, the Have-Nots will likely be selected again by the Head of Household.

More often than not, people volunteer to be Have-Nots, which is one way to be in the HOH’s good graces since you prevent them getting blood on their hands for something that doesn’t even end a fellow houseguests game.  Not to mention, while being a Have-Not sucks (especially for sleeping arrangements), Big Brother hasn’t been as strict on them in recent seasons, as evidenced by the complete lack of penalties given out when rules aren’t followed.

Okay, back to the new competition.  At this point, we have some information, but no solid evidence as to how it will impact the game.  From what we know, the competition will take place after the original (see speculation later) Head of Household announces the new eviction nominees.  However, the competition will be before the veto competition.  Grodner also says there will be a “new ceremony” at the end of the new competition. At this point, we can only theorize what the new challenge airing on Sunday nights will be, and I have two possible ideas – keeping in mind that they wanted the competition to have high stakes.

Big Brother Battle of the Block

Theory One: Battle of the Block spinoff, but with only one HOH nominating

My first idea is kind of a spin-off of some aspects of BOTB.  In a game where the general format is assign an HOH, choose nominees, possibly choose a replacement nominee and evict a house guest, there are only a few places where you can have a major (high stakes) impact on the game.  Since we know this is after the HOH competition and before the veto competition, that leaves us with the nominee “step”.  That leads me to conclude that the HOH may have to nominate FOUR house guests.  This is similar to BOTB in that four house guests will be nominated, but it is not by two different HOH’s and they do not work on teams.   The competition will be for the four nominees to battle it out and the two who win would be taken off the block and the two losers would be the ones left for eviction (pending the outcome of the Power of Veto competition and ceremony).

I think this could be interesting for a few reasons.  Traditionally, Big Brother follows the same sort of pattern of competitions, and tends to have the same type of comps only with changes of the theme to fit the season.  Given that this would be a four-person competition and you would need to have the possibility for two people to end up winners, we would see some different types of competitions.  I’m sure CBS knows they need to spice it up a little to keep people interested.

In addition, this would have a major impact on the HOH.  They would be getting blood on their hands and putting a target on their back for four fellow house guests even though two will never be at risk of going home.  The standard “pawn” play won’t work since the pawns would need to win the competition to be safe.  It’s not like putting a single pawn up against an easy target.  I suppose if you have 3 pawns and you can guarantee the one target does not win the competition, you might be good, but that would be a tough one to swing.

Final HOH Comp pt 1

This would be different than BOTB, since each HOH only had to nominate two people, in addition, it was too easy to have one of the people throw the competition.  This left the HOH who nominated them in power and usually guaranteed the safety of the one throwing the competition leaving the “anticipated target” to be evicted.  Often the two HOH’s would work together and it kind of made the BOTB pointless.  With 4 individual nominees, it is likely that no one would throw it since their safety would not be guaranteed because they could not guarantee that the target won’t win and save themselves.  This would make it a true competition with high stakes.

The only problem I see here is that the competition could not last the whole season.  With 4 nominees, it would have to end once the pool starts getting smaller or too many house guests would be nominees.  This is similar to BOTB which lasted for 8 weeks in Big Brother 16 and only 5 weeks in Big Brother 17; however, the shorter run in BB17 could be because it wasn’t really a “fan favorite”, depending who you asked, of course.  Often, the twists don’t last the whole game – usually one twist ends and it leads to a different twist, for example when the coaches in Big Brother 14 entered the game.

Games Have Begun

Even the Have-Not competitions (and previously the food competitions) were not a guaranteed weekly competition.  There were still weeks where the HOH would choose the have-nots.  There is no way to tell if the intention of the Big Brother 18 producers was to create a new competition that would be every week for the whole season, such as HOH and Veto, or if it is just a twist that is not meant to last the entire season.

Theory 2: Head of Household power fight

Now, I did have one other idea.  Since this is after the nominations, but before the Veto competition (that the HOH participates in), I am wondering if there will be a change in HOH (which is why I mentioned “original” HOH earlier).  This would lead to another competition to battle for the replacement HOH.  This would have some high stakes in a different sort of way.  First, the original HOH will have blood on their hands for the nominations while losing their power. In addition, similar to BOTB, they can go from HOH to being a nominee and possibly evicted in the same week if the Power of Veto is used.

This would also be a good twist strategically.  Often as HOH, you have a primary target and you work to get the votes to get them evicted.  Generally, the HOH does not ever cast a vote (except, of course, in the rare occasion there is a tie).  However, if you are going to be replaced as HOH, you can count yourself as a vote assuming that people stay on your side even when you are no longer “in power”.  But be careful – if one of your expected votes becomes HOH, you lose it.  Not to mention, you will have the nominees gunning for you if they win veto and a backdoor is very possible.

Big Brother 17 Episode 17 (1)

Now, both of these competition speculation ideas have one tiny issue.  Alison Grodner did mention that there may be a new ceremony too, but obviously, “expect the unexpected” and this could just be to throw us off and make the speculation more difficult.  The first speculation regarding the 4 house guests and two of them being taken off the block doesn’t really leave room for a ceremony.  It is possible that some sort of version of this could be true – such as only two nominees and they battle each other to save themselves.  Then the HOH would have to choose a replacement nominee which would be a ceremony.  I am not sure about this though since with the Power of Veto, that could cause two replacements in a week.  However, this would make for a great game, lots of change-up and a lot of blood on the HOH hands.

Similarly, the in the idea where the HOH is replaced, there would not really be a new ceremony.  However, if the nominees are allowed to compete (which would only be fair) and one of them wins, they would automatically come off the block and would need to select a replacement nominee.  Watch out original HOH, they could easily avenge their original nomination by selecting YOU for eviction.

Of course, everything is speculation until Sunday, June 26th when the first new competition will be aired, aside from what we are able to gather in spoilers from the Big Brother Live Feeds.

Stephanie Hollman Reflects On The Changing Friendships In The Real Housewives Of Dallas Cast

Stephanie-Hollman

Stephanie-Hollman

I ended up loving Real Housewives of Dallas a lot more than I ever expected. At first it kind of annoyed me with the constant poop references, but once that story line (finally) tired out it became a very endearing show that really added to the Bravo franchise. And I really ended up liking Stephanie Hollman. She is one of the few people who can pull off being entertaining on TV while actually being a nice person.

I can’t say the same for the rest of the cast though. There was a ton of a drama and it pretty much all involved the show’s villain LeeAnne Locken. Since the season just ended, Stephanie has reflected on the friendships that have come and gone throughout that time.

CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE

In all honesty, that finale was beyond boring. I really can’t think of one interesting part aside from Cary Deuber and LeeAnne having a conversation about LeeAnne spreading rumors about Cary’s marriage. Stephanie wrote about this in her Bravo blog: “I think Cary and LeeAnne clash because of miscommunication. Cary heard LeeAnne’s harsh judgments and accusations about her marriage. I understand that she felt she had to say something. I believe LeeAnne felt the tension and realized that Cary knew about her judgmental gossiping. Whatever the circumstance, nothing was resolved. When everyone left, I felt a sadness.”

Yeah, I didn’t really get much from that conversation either other than the fact that LeeAnne is not at all sorry and she has no regard for the family that she is shamelessly bringing down. LeeAnne doesn’t even know Cary so all the gossip was extremely out of line.

Then without naming names Stephanie talked about the weirdest friendship situation on the show: that LeeAnne friendship triangle involving Tiffany Hendra and Marie Reyes: “Just months earlier I was introduced to four beautiful, happy women. Three of them were long time friends that share life’s greatest moments; babies, weddings, struggles, etc. Now, there is only tension, hurt and sadness.” She really said that so well, but I also find it hard to believe that these friendships were truly solid. It really comes off like LeeAnne, Marie, and Tiffany are just bound to each other due to their years of history instead of a genuine fondness for each other.

Stephanie also wrote about her ability to form her own opinions and her refusal to ever be someone’s sidekick or follower (maybe Tiffany or Marie can learn a thing or two from her): “I haven’t experienced friendships where I felt pushed to choose one side or another and continually prove loyalties since high school. I believe that I can have an opinion based on circumstances but am entitled to think for myself. My opinion does not make me a less loyal friend — it makes me true to myself.” Good for Stephanie. She is really one of the few people who can pull of being kind and non-confrontational without being boring on reality television. I adore her and I hope that she sticks around if the show gets a second season.

Bethenny Frankel Relates Jules Wainstein’s Marriage Troubles To Her Own Life

Bethenny-Frankel-Jules-Wainstein-RHONY

Bethenny-Frankel-Jules-Wainstein-RHONY

When the news about Jules Wainstein’s divorce announcement hit the press on the same day that a new Real Housewives of New York episode airs, I was ready to dissect Jules and Michael Wainstein’s every onscreen action and look for evidence leading up to this surprising news.

And I didn’t have to try too hard looking for clues. The episode opened with Jules breaking down to talk about how she is the only one who parents her children. Then there was that uncomfortable double date the couple had with Dorinda Medley and her boyfriend John Mahdessian which really made me feel so sad for Jules. Apparently I wasn’t the only one who had a strong reaction to that scene since Bethenny had something to say about it as well.

CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE

I’m not sure if it was the episode itself that had me feeling so bad for Jules or if it was that in combination with the divorce announcement and the cheating allegations against Michael, but I just wish I could give the girl a hug. I was cringing while Michael embarrassed Jules while they were at dinner with Dorinda and John. He was on his phone the entire time and when he was between calls, he really wasn’t present. And on top of that, all of this was happening while Jules was stressing out about her father being in the hospital- talk about a lack of sensitivity there!

Bethenny didn’t have a ton to say in her Bravo blog about this week’s episode, which is super weird since she starts off the entry with “This is my favorite episode ever.” I just figured she would want to share more thoughts, but I guess the episode speaks for itself- at least according to Bethenny.

One topic that Bethenny did address was the double date: “That dinner with Jules and Dorinda was actually painful. This was Dorinda getting all lit up and waxing poetic with metaphors for days.” Yeah, I really had no idea what Dorinda was talking about at all. I know she meant well, but she did not really help alleviate the awkwardness of that whole situation.

Bethenny writes, “It’s looking like Jules and Michael are having some trouble in paradise. That I don’t miss, and that I don’t envy. I do ‘suck at relationships,’ but I’d rather be solo than feel like that. Tensions have arisen over there. “

I feel like this was Bethenny’s attempt to be sympathetic and understanding, but it really did miss the mark. I didn’t think it was necessary to relate the scene back to her own love life and throw that shade. I also don’t appreciate her subtle plug for her book I Suck at Relationships. That was pretty tacky, even for a housewife. I just don’t feel like Bethenny was at all sensitive to Jules’s situation- especially since that divorce announcement and the cheating allegations hit the press on the SAME DAY the episode aired. She really could have tried harder with the commentary on that one.

And then after I was getting annoyed at Bethenny for her take on that dinner, I literally laughed out loud at this gem: “John was trying to break the tension, and at that dinner, he was definitely my favorite Housewife.” John really was the only bright light in that uncomfortable scene. He was the only one trying to quell the tension and he was the only one who was enjoyable to watch- hopefully this continues and everyone can stop hating on him.

TELL US- DO YOU THINK THAT BETHENNY’S COMMENTARY ABOUT JULES AND MICHAEL’S MARRIAGE WAS INSENSITIVE? OR DID IT MAKE SENSE FOR HER TO RELATE THE SCENE BACK TO HER OWN LIFE?

Is it incredibly over the top to be accosting a pregnant woman when she is due any day? Sure! Do these gals seem to care? NOPE.

We join Katie at the hospital, where she is anxiously waiting to give birth with mom, Kathie, and waste of space boyfriend/baby daddy, PJ. She had another week to go but it looks like the baby is coming now.

Over at Apartment D (for delusional), Lila and Dawn are busy telling Jason Perez and Jazmin Lang their horribly skewed version of events with the Katie confrontation. They explain how gently they approached Katie and how it was all Katie’s fault that the conversation went off the rails. If you were looking for any accountability, you definitely won’t find it here. Jazmin decides to do the right thing and call Jessica Capri to check on Katie. Turns out, baby Kinzley is here safe and sound but is being treated for having six fingers on each hand and diagnosed with the same form of dwarfism Katie has, hypochondroplasia. Back at the hospital, Jess is trying to figure out where Katie and PJ plan on live now that the baby is here but Katie doesn’t know what to say and PJ is busy on his phone, probably mixing up some beats.

Once home with Kinzley, Katie discusses plans to have a Sip and See so everyone can meet the baby. Well, everyone but Lila and Dawn. Eff that, Katie doesn’t want to deal with them but Mama Kathie, for some stupid reason beyond all comprehension, thinks that she should be the bigger person and invite the two people who just sent her daughter into early labor with their drama.

Jazmin, Dawn and Lila meet in the park and Dawn has news: she has a new man and he’s a little person. Also, she is still super judgmental. The talk turns to Dawn’s tension-filled relationship with her brother, David Lang, and although it’s perfectly fine for Dawn to give her opinion on everyone else’s life, she quickly gets defensive and deflects to Jazmin. She blabs that Jazmin told roomie Jason how uncomfortable she is with Lila bringing home random men she meets online. Lila feels slut shamed by Dawn but Dawn says she has done it by herself by talking about her sex life in front of her. Looks like Judge Dawn came out of a very brief retirement and made it back on the bench in full force for this episode!

At Katie and Jess’s apartment, Katie is enjoying being a new mom. So much so that the second Jess walks in the door, Katie dumps Kinzley off on her to feed, bathe and change while she goes and takes a nap. Jess goes to change her and discovers one of her extra fingers has fallen off and is totally weirded out. Kathie, PJ and Katie run in to see what the commotion is and Kathie gets a baggy so she can save the finger for “memories”. Jess has reached her baby limit and tells Katie if she wants some rest, PJ can actually help with their child he helped create.

The next day, Jess decides to approach Katie about their living situation. When Katie was pregnant and broken up with PJ, Jess had no problem taking her in temporarily. Now that it’s Katie plus her mom, the baby and her lame ass boyfriend, Jess thinks it’s more than she can deal with. She feels like the live-in nanny for a very dysfunctional family. I understand that as a brand new mom, Katie is probably really overwhelmed, but did she really not see this coming? She asks where she is supposed to go and Jess points out that PJ should be stepping up to figure this out. Dawn and Lila, take note: this is how you approach a friend you care about when you have genuine concerns.

It’s the day of the Sip & See and it’s time to sip some tea and see some drama. Before everyone arrives, Katie tells her mom that she and PJ have decided to move back to Seattle with the baby and mooch off live with her for a little while. Mama Kathie says that’s ok but addresses PJ and says that he has to get a job and can’t just take two showers a day, not pay the water bill, and pretend to have a music career. PJ turns bright red under his neon green sweatshirt and defends himself by saying she doesn’t know what he really does and he actually held down a real job at a car dealership for almost two months! Well played, PJ, well played. PJ doesn’t like Kathie looking at him the way she is looking at him (like he’s a bum, probably) and then makes some big speech about how he isn’t changing today, tomorrow or ever. Then he mentions something about how he has blessed everyone’s life with “this kid”. As in, his daughter. That’s right, he has blessed everyone by accidentally procreating. Side note: I had to stop typing for a minute just to pick my jaw up off the floor. While PJ continues to yell at Kathie, Jess runs into the room to calm everyone down.  Little does she know, the drama is just getting started.

Dawn is the first to arrive and doesn’t waste any time throwing shade about Katie’s maternity pictures and her last conversation with Lila. She tells them what happened at the park with Lila and Jazmin and divulges a very convoluted version of her private conversation with Lila. Lila, Jason and Jazmin show up and Lila starts right in on Dawn because she could hear Dawn talking about her personal business all the way from the elevator. While I’m with Lila on this one, her delivery could wait for sure. But she can’t let it go, even when Jess tries to shut it down. Lila and Dawn head to the bedroom and scream at each other. Dawn tries to defend her actions by saying she is concerned about her. Oh, here we go again – using her “concern” as a way to judge everything that everyone does, friend or not. Lila isn’t having any of it and storms out of the party. Dawn acts like nothing has happened and tries to make a grab for the baby, who cries to escape her evil clutches. As Lila does her own crying in the hall, Jazmin and Jason calm her to the point where she can go back in and try and make this Sip & See about baby Kinzley. My favorite part of this whole episode is Katie handing sweet baby Kinzley over to an emotional Lila while in the background, PJ sits with his legs spread, equally deep into the couch and his phone.  That pretty much sums it up.

Since it’s the season finale, we get a little summary of what everyone has been doing and it’s not too exciting but here you go: Lila is no longer on speaking terms with Dawn and still gets with guys on the internet. Dawn has no real update outside of the fact that she works a lot and is on the outs with everyone. Jazmin went to Florida to spend time with David and wants to start a family soon. Katie and PJ moved baby Kinzley to Seattle to live with her mom and she’s tired. Jason is living in NYC and still with long distance boyfriend, DJ. Jess is back on the dating scene and enjoying her life now that she has some peace and quiet.
