What. An. Episode! So much action, so many returns, so many reveals, and one glorious beheading we've rarely ever looked forward to so much. After the depressing victory of last...Big Brother 18 cast member Michelle Meyer, 23, hails from the Metro-Detroit area of Michigan and recently finished her degree as a nutritionist. Now, she just needs to pass her registered dietitian exam. Unlike some of the other houseguests this year, she is extremely familiar with Big Brother and watches both the U.S. and International versions. She also has a strong presence in the online Big Brother world between being an avid Live Feed viewer as well as interacting on reddit in fan threads.
The two most difficult parts about living in the Big Brother house that Michelle mentioned in her CBS profile can both hurt her social game. First, she generally likes to go to bed early which tends to cause a houseguest to be an outlier. If everyone else is staying up, and you are in bed, you are missing out on crucial relationship building and social play.
Michelle Meyer has also gotten into trouble in the past regarding talking about other people, spreading rumors and getting into drama. Her goal is to avoid doing these things if they don’t involve her as it’s not good for her game. She refers to Big Brother as “a giant game of telephone”.
There has been a lot of information released about Michelle’s planned strategy. First of all, she has no qualms about lying, breaking alliances and backstabbing as revealed in her “Meet the Houseguests” interview with Jeff Schroeder. She plans to win a lot of competitions including becoming HOH so she can take out someone she sees as a threat. However, she wants to appear weak while “still winning competitions” so I am not sure how that will fare.
Michelle is willing to be in a showmance if it helps her game and with the amount of single people in the house this year, this is definitely a possibility. There are also talks of a solid alliance, but having an even stronger alliance with a few of the houseguests within it. She plans on “being friendly with everyone and pretending this game doesn’t mean the world to her” which could work to keep the target off her back. However, showmances generally bring a target to you, so the strategy is a little muddled for a “superfan”.
Thankfully, Michelle has one thing going for her – she would rather win and be hated by America rather than lose and be loved. This means one thing – she is here to play the game! In her words, “everyone has a hater”.

Our favorite reality TV stars cannot get enough of the spotlight during their regularly scheduled time slots, so they take to social media to share even more of their lives with us. And we would not have it any other way. Here’s a roundup of some of our favorite snapshots and selfies from this week. Enjoy.
Above: Real Housewives of Orange County star Meghan King Edmonds shared, “I freaking love @pamandgela – you’ve seen me in their stuff in tons of pics. Owned by two badass women – they founded Juicy Couture and have not slowed down since. Love my girl Pam!”

Big Brother 18 cast member, Glenn Garcia, 50, is professional mobile dog groomer and a former police detective. He hails from the Bronx, New York – something he is really proud of and strongly identifies with. Back home, he has a fiancée and a nine-year-old daughter. From what we know so far, he is the only houseguest with child(ren).
One of the traits we look for in the new cast members each year is their level of fandom for the show. It seems in the last couple of years, there has been more recruiting, which leads to cast members that aren’t really fans of the show. They may have seen the show because they were going to be on the show, or while they were in sequester, but did not actually watch the show regularly before the casting process. Sometimes incoming houseguests are actually fans, but they have only seen recent seasons.
While quite a few of this year’s cast members seem to be new fans, or not really fans at all, it sounds like Glenn is a big fan of Big Brother. In his CBS profile, he notes four favorite previous houseguests dating back to Big Brother 2. This may just bode quite well for him since he knows how the game is played and has seen lots of different strategies and had the opportunity to analyze what works and what doesn’t.
He is lucky he has this going for him since he doesn’t have much of a strategy going into the house. He plans to see what his fellow houseguests are like and then plan his strategy around that. Being flexible is definitely a good idea, but you would need a playbook of strategies to pull from. As a loyal fan, he has this available to him.
During his “Meet the Houseguests” interview with Jeff Schroeder, Glenn stated that he is versatile and can act as a chameleon. He further went on to describe that he “can blend in with a lot of different types of ages and personalities”. Let’s hope this is true since he is the oldest cast member (so far) that will be in the house this summer. However, he admits his mouth can get him in trouble if someone is able to get under his skin, since he will just blow up. In his interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he even said that his fiancée thought he was too much of a hothead to be on Big Brother, which leads us to give him the nickname ‘The Attitude’.
With a family at home, some fans may worry that he will get homesick and give up, but Glenn ensured us that is not the case. His daughter and fiancée are his motivation to win the money. Like many other cast members this season, Glenn would rather win and be hated by America rather than lose and be loved stating that “too many nice guys win this all the time”. He carries with him the following mindset: “I wanna be me, I’m gonna be me, so I’m gonna win it and then if you don’t like it, I don’t care”.
Not only is Glenn’s in it to win it, he has the full support of his fiancée. She knows that he will do what he needs to do to win even if that means flirting and leading a fellow houseguest on. He jokes that he will “get yelled at later”, but all will be forgiven when he gets the check and buys a house.
It does not seem like Glenn has many of the traditional strengths that successful Big Brother players have had in the past. However, we won’t know for sure until the game gets underway.

Big Brother 18 cast member Jozea Flores currently lives in New York City according to his “Meet the Houseguests” interview, but may also spend significant time in Los Angeles, California according to his CBS profile, where he listed the city as his current residence. He is a makeup artist and very tight-lipped when it comes to revealing any of his celebrity clientele.
One of his downfalls could be that he is a new fan and is not very familiar with the game. According to his interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he only started watching recently and specifically pointed to Big Brother 16 and Big Brother 17.
He says “I’m going to be the puppet master” which leads me to compare him to Derrick Levasseur, winner of Big Brother 16, who is often described that way. In addition, it is not clear whether or not he actually wanted to be on Big Brother since his profile was passed along to the show from producers of another show that he had applied to. Lastly, all of this is evidenced further by the fact he named himself as his favorite player in one interview; however, he did mention Frankie Grande on his CBS profile.
One of the three adjectives (although he really provided four!) that Jozea used to describe himself was as a “visual genius”. This could benefit him in certain competitions where you need to use your vision and memory. An example of this is a competition where you memorize a certain scene and then you try to replicate it. You can view the version that you need to copy as many times as you want since this is a timed challenge (meaning the lowest time of all the competitors wins).
While he has a strategy, it doesn’t sound like it is developed very well to match his arrogant statements, which frequently include stating that he is going to win. When Jeff Schroeder asked about his strategy in his “Meet the Houseguests” interview, he responded with “being true to myself and knowing my strategy to the max”. This answer revealed absolutely nothing about his actual strategy.
Lucky for us, his CBS profile offered a little more substance. He plans to use his “mind to get into other people’s heads” which would tell us that he plans to play a strong mental game. He then refers to use “love and caring” for his fellow houseguests to help him make it through the competition. You need to be cutthroat in Big Brother, but I suppose this could simply be a way to ensure he isn’t put on the block. I worry he may become a floater.
However, there may be some hope for him yet. Jozea indicates that winning will mean a lot to him and he is going to “pull out all of the stops and the tricks to win”. He indicated that he would rather win and be hated by America (rather than lose and be loved) with a simple statement of “I’m going for it”.
It sounds like we will see a mostly social and mental game being played by Jozea, which can work, but if you don’t win any competitions – your plea at final two could be tough. Let’s hope that his chiseled physique allows him to be a contender in physical competitions.

I feel so bad for Cary Deuber. The entire time while she was filming Real Housewives of Dallas, the show’s resident villain LeeAnne Locken was obsessively trash talking her. LeeAnne has a weird fixation with Cary’s marriage and brought up whenever she had the chance- especially when it wasn’t even relevant to the topic of conversation.
LeeAnne told anybody who would listen that Cary was a homewrecker and her relationship with her husband Mark Deuber started while they were both married. It was absurd. LeeAnne put this out there, unprovoked and put their family life on blast in a very public setting. Understandably, Cary is so tired of it.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
Without mentioning names (and giving LeeAnne more to attack), poor Cary addressed these homewrecker accusations in her Bravo blog– again. And she is furious.
Cary got right to the point: “I’m going to tackle the bad first. Let’s see…I have been repeatedly called a husband stealer and subsequently a homewrecker…Mind you, this has all been said behind my back.” Yep, this is just so ridiculous and LeeAnne just didn’t have the courage to confront Cary to her face- not that she actually had something to confront her over. LeeAnne just wanted something negative to talk about in front of the cameras that had nothing to do with her own outrageous behavior.
Cary channeled her inner Lisa Rinna when she wrote, “Never to my face; even when I went asking in the final episode to get issues out in the open. There’s this popular phrase out there these days: own your sh–.”
I really just don’t see the issue her. Cary was married twice before. She’s in a happy marriage now that is accepted by her step children. Why is LeeAnne pushing a non-issue in such a public manner? It’s ridiculous. Cary wrote, “Well, I have owned my past. I’m the one who put it out there. I was married twice before. My husband Mark was married before. He was married when we met. We worked together. We ended up dating and getting married. I have owned all of that. It’s all true. But I can’t own up to something that didn’t happen.” LeeAnne really is a bully and she needs to start practicing what she preaches in regard to putting out positive energy in the world and helping others.
Cary made her thoughts very clear when she explained how she felt after seeing the show again, “Now, re-watching the episodes, no one has actually said Mark and I had an affair. But it’s been implied and I’m sure a lot of the audience has assumed it because several people have made a point of putting innuendo out there. But the truth is relationships come and go. Unfortunately, marriages end; of course it would be convenient and easy if the marriage between me and Mark was our first and only one; but as everyone out there knows life frequently isn’t that simple. In our case, it took a long time for the right people to find each other and to figure out they were right for each other.”
Seriously though. LeeAnne is just trying to create trouble where there isn’t even an ounce of drama. I have no idea what is motivating her. Is she just trying to move the negativity spotlight to someone else? Is she projecting based on her tough past? I truly don’t understand what she’s doing, but it’s hurtful to Cary’s family and it’s not a good look for LeeAnne– at all.
TELL US- DO YOU THINK LEEANNE NEEDS TO STOP CALLING CARY A “HOMEWRECKER”?

Big Brother 18 cast member Corey Brooks, 25, hails from Dallas, Texas and is a baseball coach that works with 13-14 year-old kids. During his “Meet the Houseguests” interview, it was also revealed that he has a career in real estate, in some capacity. Considering he is big into playing sports according to his CBS profile, along with having a career in sports, we can expect him to do well in physical competitions. However, it seems like he may be on the show for the wrong reasons, which doesn’t bode well for us as the audience. Keep reading for more details on why this is.
Unfortunately, Corey Brooks seems to be a relatively new fan to Big Brother and hasn’t watched much of the show. Therefore, he will be going into the house not really knowing what to expect. He has only watched two or three seasons on and off. However, he likes Cody Calafiore and Zach Rance from Big Brother 16 and seems to have decent reasons as to why.
During his “Meet the Houseguests” interview with Jeff Schroeder, there were some pretty comedic parts especially when Jeff was asking about who he lives with – trying to compare his current living situation with that of the Big Brother house. Instead of just mentioning that he lives with roommates and how he interacts with them, Corey started naming each roommate and giving a quick little bio including how they met. Eventually, Jeff stopped him and clarified the question. Corey referred to his current living situation as “a Big Brother house on a smaller scale.”
Corey is definitely very confident in his abilities when it comes to gameplay and strategy. He sees himself as a physical threat and plans on winning a lot of competitions. At the same time, he considers himself likable and believes that will allow him to have a great social game. To some, this may sound arrogant, which is not helped by the fact he doesn’t see any big downfalls with himself or his plan. He used the old “turn a strength into a weakness” trick and claimed he “can be too nice”.
Sadly, for us viewers, Corey is in the game for all of the wrong reasons. While he changed his mind a few times, ultimately, he said he is not willing to do whatever it takes to win the game. He was one of the few who would rather “lose and be loved by America” rather than “win and be hated”. He is very concerned about his reputation and wants to be a good role model for the impressionable teenagers he coaches.
In addition, and quite possibly worst of all, he stated in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that he was seeking fame. Due to the few houseguests who have actually become very well-known from Big Brother, every new houseguest seems to think they will leave with newfound fame. That is just not true and he is going to give up $500,000 for something he will likely never attain.
Since Corey may not make for great game play, being that he isn’t all in and is hesitant to “let go”, the main chance we have of him being interesting and newsworthy is likely a showmance. He is willing to flirt, and possibly be in a showmance, if it is good for his game.

If anyone was surprised to find Tamra Judge missing among the slew of past and present Real Housewives Of Orange County stars attending the 10 Year Anniversary/Season 11 Premiere Party, don’t worry – her absence was only temporary!
Tamra skipped the fete because she’s currently beach-bound with Eddie Judge while celebrating her third wedding anniversary.

“So bummed I’m going to miss the premier party tonight @heatherdubrow @shannonbeador @meghankedmonds we will have a shot tonight in honor of season 11 . Have a great night and cheers to another year with you beautiful amazing ladies. I love you guys. #anniversarytrip #rhoc #bravo (missing Meghan),” Tamra explained on instagram.
“Anniversary celebration starts NOW #3years #swolemates #funinthesun #wifey” [Credit]
Noticeably missing from her shout-out was Vicki Gunvalson. Tamra and Vicki are once again NOT. FRIENDS. which is round 33 zillion in the world’s longest and oldest RHOC storyline. (At least Bravo is down with recycling!)
Tamra says Vicki is a “toxic person,” so just like she shed booze, sugar, and other toxins from her life baaaad, baaaad friends have also got to go!
“My relationship with Vicki right now is non-existent because of something she did,” explains Tamra, “so I am at a crossroads with her.” What Vicki did is, “talk badly about me and my family.”
RELATED – RHOC SEASON UNCENSORED RECAP!
Following Brooks Ayers cancer-gate “too many things happened” for Tamra to ever truly forgive and trust Vicki. “Sometimes, you just have to cut the evil out.” Yes… precisely, I’ve been saying just that about Tamra for oh-so many years! Who knows maybe her new lifestyle of Jesus and Juicing has made her a changed woman inside and out. Let’s hope!
Meanwhile Vicki has formed an allegiance with newbie Kelly Dodd, which is a major source of tension for Tamra.
“I have personally never met anybody like her,” gripes Tamra. “People say, ‘I tell it like it is.’ This girl doesn’t care whose feelings she hurts. There’s zero filter. There’s no way to explain it other than to see it.”
“She just attacks people,” Tamra tells The Daily Dish. “So she probably has conflict with every single one of the cast members.”
Tamra recounts an incident where, unprovoked, Kelly told her, “Shut up, dumb f***!” Tamra immediately confronted her. “And it wasn’t even a fight. She was just like, ‘I’m sorry.’ I really think she’s like a fifth grader. She can’t get her words out.”
Tamra’s issues with Vicki, coupled with the addition of Kelly will apparently make for a volatile and insane season. “It’s definitely gonna be a season like we’ve never had before,” assures Tamra.
Seriously – can we just be done with TamIcki fighting and making up every time a day begins with “T”. We get it your love-hate soulmates who can’t quit each other and can’t stop bitching at each other. Let’s just call it what it is and stop pretending this is the very last time one of them will forgive the other one.
RHOC premieres NEXT MONDAY, so get your WOO HOO’s ready!
TELL US – DO YOU THINK THIS IS OFFICIALLY THE END OF TAMRA AND VICKI? ARE YOU EXCITED OR SCARED TO MEET KELLY?

Everyone has been talking about Jules Wainstein for the past couple days since her husband Michael Wainstein made a pretty surprising move and filed for divorce. Since then, shit has really hit the fan. Jules’s rep confirmed that they split because Michael was cheating. Then Jules was hit with a $25,000 tax lien due to back bills on a New York City penthouse. Soon, news came out that the woman Michael was cheating with was friends with Jules. And things got really crazy when Jules had to call the police on Michael after an altercation in their home.
And this was all within two days. Who knows what else will have gone down by the time you get to the end of this article. On top of all that, the divorce announcement hit the press on the same day that Real Housewives of New York airs. Personally, I think that is a shady coincidence. Nevertheless, I was ready to watch the episodes looking for signs of trouble and they were absolutely blatant. And now Jules is speaking out.

Jules did not write a lengthy Bravo blog this week, which is pretty understandable since she has a lot going on these days.
Jules writes, “It was so difficult to watch the beginning of the end unfold in this week’s episode, but I’ve come a long way since my life began to unravel this past winter, and my kids and I will be just fine — better than fine.” It’s hard to separate the past from the present when these Real Housewives cast members have to relive their memories when the show airs. So we need to remember that so much has gone down since these scenes happened.
And if you’re wondering if you should have seen this coming as a Real Housewives of New York fan, it’s apparent that Jules did not at all: “Truth is that it’s too easy to get caught up in your own reality, especially when you are blindsided and betrayed by someone who is supposed to be a partner and friend.” Ugh. poor Jules.
At least Jules has a positive outlook for the future and she isn’t dwelling too much. She writes, “I’m trusting and open, but I’m also strong and practical. This isn’t the end of the world, it’s just a big bump in the road, but I’ll get over it and I’ll be stronger for it. I’ve got my kids, my family, my friends, my business, Modern Alkeme, and while my heart might be broken, it’s still good as gold.” Ah yes, there she is with the shameless plug among her list of blessings. Clearly she is still very much on her shit, so I’m not too worried about her.

The powers-that-be behind the scenes at The Walking Dead are doing everything in their power to keep the identity of Negan's victim a secret until the very minute the scene airs on AMC this...Big Brother 18 cast member Tiffany Rousso, 32, hails from West Palm Beach, Florida and is a high school math teacher as well as the owner of an SAT preparation business. She is also the sister of Vanessa Rousso, who made it to the top three on Big Brother 17.
Vanessa is known as the villain of the season to some and is also remembered for playing a great strategic game. In the house, she was very manipulative and would make deals with anyone and everyone – then follow through on whichever was in her best interest, she was also very emotional.
If the houseguests find out Tiffany’s relationship to the former player, she is going to have a huge target on her back. Her current strategy regarding this sticky situation is to keep it under wraps. However, she feels that lying about it will make it a bigger deal in the long run than it already is. If someone calls her out on it, she is going to tell them.
Tiffany discussed strategy on her “Meet the Houseguests” interview with Jeff Schroeder. She plans to lay low for the first few weeks of the game and not win any HOH competitions. However, when asked about any weaknesses she perceives in her game plan, she revealed that she is super competitive and it will be hard for her to throw competitions. In addition, she realizes that she could become a huge target and may need to win the first HOH in order to stay in the game. According to her CBS profile, “it’s all about timing. You don’t want to come out with guns blazing.”
As far as her long term game strategy, she plans to play a good social game and build a relationship with everyone. Ideally, she would like to be in a “ride or die” two-person alliance and take it to the end of the game. It sounds like she can be manipulative like her sister and may play multiple sides of the house. She is also cognizant of having bigger threats on her side to keep her safe if they win HOH, but also because they would have bigger targets and likely go home sooner.
Lastly, she would like to win and be hated by America (as opposed to losing and being loved). All I can say, is if she is anything like Vanessa, we are in for a wild ride.
