Garrett Yrigoyen proposed to Becca Kufrin on Monday's season finale of The Bachelorette and presented her with quite the diamond sparkler. The medical sales rep from Reno, Nev. popped...In today’s Ask Andy, when The Last Alaskans will return, what Forged in Fire does with its weapons, and why Worst Cooks in America’s make sense on The Great Food Truck Race.
Just when I thought there was going to be a season of everyone getting along on Real Housewives Of Orange County, enter two new girls and the fatuous ego of one Vicki Gunvalson who will not understand human relationships no matter how many zillions of times it makes her Housewives reunions a living hell.
The so-called Three Amigas are banned back from Mexico worse for the wear, but they’re cemented by friendship bracelets (we saw how well those worked out the last time!) and added a dance to their lineup that’s essentially a hokeypokey with hip thrust – perfect for these three in denial cheeseballs. Tamra Judge is especially bad off. She went from a hot glam’ma to a deflated scooter-wielding spring break failure. It’s like a Tina Fey movie where the uncool girl who never got to do spring break goes back as a chaperone in her 40’s. At least Tamra has Vicki to push her around to all the hot docs in OC. Vicki was everyone’s mama this episode, wasn’t she? Like getting that slap in the face that Gina Kirchenwallerhallerdingdong is the same age as Briana – and just as opinionated about Vicki’s boondoggles! Youngins today – no respect for their elders…
Maybe now that Gina is single Vicki can set her up with Tamra’s foot doc, hot Dr. Ryan! Dr. Ryan, with his softly thinning hair like the rubbed down lovespot on a stuffed animal, reminded me of a Bachelorette contestant who is eliminated on the first night because he has no idea what he’s doing there and opens with a corny line about checking her heartbeat. He’s sweet and out of his depth because he thinks whooping it up is what happens at the county fair jamboree. Vicki and Tamra are eager to corrupt him. Vicki practically needed to catch her drool in a Chanel bag. Even if Steve is her soulmate, a lady doesn’t have to give up eye candy.
Speaking of candy Shannon Beador launched a low-fat cooking line for QVC. I don’t know how yoyo dieting and putting nine lemons in a bowl to mix with vodquila qualifies you as a healthy lifestyle expert, but clearly Shannon’s daughters agree as they gag through frozen and reheated soggy noodles and fish stuffed with cream cheese. Shawn Killinger – I’m gonna need an explanation for all this. Shannon claims people don’t need to eat cardboard chicken like Tamra does in order to look good and she has the secret sauce. Literally. Buttermilk? Right now, somewhere, David is scarfing tortilla chips with glee…
Sure, now Tamra is more of a baked lean protein sprayed with olive oil pam kind of a girl, but maybe, if she can elbow the Vicki’s Casseroles Food and Whoopery Truck out of the way, Shannon can bring Tamra some frozen meals while she’s waiting for everything in her life to be fixed: Her kitchen, her plumbing, Eddie’s heart, her sense of priorities… Or maybe some of Shannon’s Fengshui is needed to get that house back in order… I mean, it’s been SOOO successful in the past!
While we’re on the subject of frozen, Kelly Dodd has frozen Vick out after her betrayal of double dating with Michael. I am 100% on Kelly’s side with this one! Even if Vicki has never tuned into Luann’s Pandora Station and heard the song Girl Code, she should know better!
Kelly and Vicki meet for coffee and Vicki is unapologetic as ever until Kelly threatens to seduce Steve into dumping Vicki’s fun-busted ass just so she can set him up with another woman and hide it from her. Vicki was demanding respect until this scenario turned her pale as her midwestern roots and she was forced to admit was “fair game.” Eventually, Vicki apologized and Kelly accepted that is until she had a couple glasses of Shannon’s Diet Truth Juice over dinner and decided to serve Vicki as the piz’za-shit of the day.
The real problem is not just that Vicki betrayed Kelly with Michael, but that Vicki’s friend tank is now full of Shannon and Tamra and she’s driving off into her future leaving Kelly to hitchhike because there are no more seats on the fun bus. Kelly even straight up asks if Vicki will include her in the next girl’s trip, which is telling. This is dual betrayal is the Oreo cookie of bad-friendship: no one likes the crunchy cookie parts without the cream in the middle – and Kelly is the cream.
Before we scramble all dem cracked eggs, let’s talk about how Emily Simpson‘s husband is a lawyer, maybe. Like in some states but not the others and definitely not in Cali where he hasn’t passed the Bar Exam. (Hi Nu-Craig!) I don’t know what Shane is doing when he’s supposedly at work – maybe washing his special Mormon underwear and swilling root beer (or hanging out with Gina’s husband?), but his mother, the pint-sized (and highly prized original Tamra), Pary Pocket, is not impressed by Shane’s recalcitrance.
Emily corrals her in-laws into a workout for some deluded storyline about how she has to be as fit as Tamra to fit in in the OC, and Pary does about 300 sit-ups then demands that Emily yell at Shane about the exam. I mean, I agree with Pary in all things – especially 70-year-old aesthetics. Eventually, Emily does confront him and Shane sulks into his juice that he’ll have to quit his job if he’s gonna like actually get qualified for it. So far (eek!) I don’t mind Shane, so I’ll cut him some slack on his unPary-like Jim Belushi goes Mormon aesthetic.
Now onto Gina. Gina’s marriage seems as sad as it apparently is and I still don’t understand how a man living in LA – about 2 hours away – has to be away from his kids for THREE WEEKS. For work. Ever hear of weekends off? Hmmmmhmmmmm… Even though Shannon likes Gina about as much as she likes wearing a Duggar bathing suit Spanx in a hot tub, me thinks they have more in common than being a mom of three!
Gina claims that when they moved from Laaaawng Izzzland to Coto she thought Mark would be home every night at 5:30, instead he relocated to LA and absentee dads via FaceTime. Gina’s mom visits often to ease her burden, and I assume the lady has a nanny to accomplish all her Housewife responsibilities, but mostly she’s on her own. The entire situation was more depressingly weird than Gina’s crazy makeup in her one-on-one interviews. She needs to retire that 90’s cheerleader frosted white liner!
Since Gina is lonely and tired of two-faced Orange County bitches who pretend to be your friend while trampling all over your breast implants, Tamra decides to introduce her to Shannon, Vicki, and Kelly. You know – loyalty personified! I’m already tired of Gina’s OC versus New York schtick in which she pretends everyone in OC is from a different planet and she is exploring a brave new frontier, the complete unknown, with nothing but low-rent botox and the wrong hair extensions. Lady, as the New Yorkers say, get over yer self!
Tamra drives to dinner with Shannon and predicts, accurately and with a smirk, that it won’t go well because “Shannon hates everyone new.” Amended: Shannon hates every woman she meets because David or her own insecurities have conditioned her to see them as a threat.
Shannon doesn’t trust Gina after learning she’s from Long Island and doesn’t wear Spanx. Maybe she is an alien. Or a Bratz Doll. Kelly shows up and midway through her first glass of wine puts Vicki on blast over the Michael thing – and she’s armed with new info! It turns out Kelly knows the woman Vicki set Michael up with and she too was a mutual friend. The plot thickens! And now we know why no one wanted Kelly to find out.
Vicki, Vicki, Vicki… Gina is quick to denounce Vicki as a suspect friend and breaker of girl code. And Vicki plots to poison Kelly’s casserole – a casserole filled with Gina’s guts. Hoes before Bros, Vick!
As if to prove that she doesn’t care that Michael is dating Kelly’s new man, a so-called Dr. Rick, crashes the girls night and starts making out with Kelly at the table. Ugh. Rick looks like an extra on an 80’s soap opera who was skeeving on the then-ingenue Eileen Davidson.
Kelly doesn’t seem to notice or care that her love tank is now filled with geriatric semen or that all her frienemies flee the restaurant in dry-heaves as if they just sampled Shannon’s shrimp and sour cream in a bag with zoodles. Gina even jokes that if divorce is a dark condo on an abandoned lot (aka Kelly’s new abode), then she’ll stay with the semi-employed Shane any day, however, Gina isn’t so sure because her marriage is essentially that condo…
Outside the restaurant Vicki is livid. After her apology coffee, she and Kelly went shopping and everything seemed fine, then Kelly blindsided her at dinner by bringing it up to the Greek Chorus of girl coders. Now Vicki doesn’t like Gina. Tamra, again, is all snickers and smirks as she scoots along pretending she didn’t stir the shit by mixing friends she knows other friends won’t like. Tamra – your karma is that Mexican scooter – may Eddie eventually regain control of his heart to hop on his mountain bike to escape.
Later Gina tells Tamra she won’t shy away from sharing her opinion, but she’s determined to make Vicki like her, so she invites Vicki to go for a waaaawlk along the beach. Vicki is organizing her vitamins and hormones when she gets this call and she sounds literally the happiest I’ve ever heard her; sorting through her pills like some sort of commercial for independent living. God help Gina if Vicki has any uppers mixed with thorny thistle!
Gina and Vicki both show up for this outing looking cute, but their very disparate attire demonstrates that not only are they in fact from different worlds, but they came expecting differing things. Vicki is wearing all black workout gear and $500 sunglasses with a neon colored jacket; Gina looks like she’s auditioning for the Junior League in pastel colors and a non-statement statement necklace.
Nothing was resolved, as it shouldn’t be because Vicki wants Gina to stay out of her kitty litter box sandbox – even though she also points out that Gina is the one who is technically sandboxed aged. And herein lies the problem: there is no way on this earth that some 33-year-old skipper from Coto would mix with two old Newport battleaxes like Shannon or Vicki. Gina is correct they are from different universes. Gina may have the energy, but does she have the tenacity and wherewithal to bury them? Doubtful!
And how bad is Tamra – sitting in her rocking chair, plotting and tutting, she totally sic’d Gina on Vicki for some covert revenge. Yep, poor whittle Gina is buried up to her neck in sand!
TELL US – DID GINA OVERSTEP HER BOUNDARIES BY VOICING HER OPINION ON VICKI’S BEHAVIOR? WILL YOU BUY SHANNON’S FOOD? SHOULD KELLY FORGIVE VICKI?

Jane's got a truly important decision to make on The Bold Type, and obviously there are only two women who can help her make it, even if they're all the way in France. With her...
Usually it’s more than welcomed when a reality TV couple has a lot of drama. In some rare instances it can just go too far for the viewers to stomach. Case in point: Thomas Ravenel and Ashley Jacobs.
The only positive thing that has come out of their relationship is the cast and fans uniting to support Kathryn Dennis. Other than that, it’s just cringe-worthy and that is putting it mildly. These two are just projecting major toxicity through the TV screens. There isn’t even anyone to root for in the actual relationship- but the viewers and cast members on this show would not be upset if these two broke up.
Podcast host Kate Casey discussed a recent interview with Ashley on her podcast Reality Life With Kate Casey. According to People, Kate said, “She’s told me that she broke up with him and that she blocked his number, but she’s in this weird position because she changed her licensing or she got licensing to be a nurse in South Carolina and really had come to the conclusion that she was going to set up a new life, away from Santa Barbara, in another state across the country.”
But why did they break up? Sure there are so many reasons to choose from, but why did they break up? If they actually broke up…
Kate also said, “She of course did this hoping that she would ultimately be in a loving relationship with someone who has had two children with a woman he never ended up marrying, has served time in prison, and has all these allegations against him. She wasn’t really able to see how that made absolutely no sense. So my strategy was to say things like, ‘Kathryn is not your enemy. Why would you want to be with somebody who has all this chaos in their life?’” Thank you, Kate. Hopefully she was able to get through to Ashley….
Kate shared, “I think it actually started to work.” She revealed, “She’s told me that they’ve broken up, and that she has no intention of getting back together with him and I hope that’s true.” People noted that both Bravo and Ashley replied to a request for comments.
However, Ashley did respond to someone on Instagram who asked if she and Thomas broke up. According to People, she told the Instagram user, “Sorry for any confusion. I don’t plan on addressing rumors or talking about my relationship status to social media at this time.” Then why even bother responding to that comment at all? Is this just a stunt for attention?
If anything could be interpreted as a thirst for attention it’s Ashley’s Instagram post where she wrote, “Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations #TrustGod.” Is this about her relationship with Thomas? Is she just trying to drum up conversation (which worked, by the way)? Does she just want to be cast for Southern Charm Season 6? What is actually going on?

BRB, booking it to a Stairmaster ASAP. Why? Because Bachelor in Paradise season five premieres tonight, which means 1. reuniting with some of our favorite contestants from The Bachelor...
Tonight marks the return of Bachelor in Paradise, and with it comes the return of a recent Bachelor villain. Some of us were dying to see Krystal back in action, with her incredible and...The Real Housewives of New York fans had been anticipating that Colombian boat ride from hell before Season 10 even began, but it just was so tough to watch. Yes, it was compelling, but the Housewives and the crew were both in severe danger.
The king of Bravo himself- Andy Cohen– is speaking out about that nightmare of a boat cruise and he kind of sort of addresses Bethenny Frankel’s claims that Carole Radziwill was fired from Real Housewives of New York.
Most people think that Andy and everyone else behind these Real Housewives shows just wants every bit of drama possible, but that boat disaster just went way too far.
Andy told Us Weekly, “I wasn’t happy about the boat because it was a horrible thing that happened. A lot of people found it very entertaining. It certainly wasn’t entertaining to me when I heard about it or to the women when they were on it.”
He continued, “I think that it made for dramatic, gripping television but in reality, it was nothing that we would have wanted to happen.” It definitely crossed the line when it comes to the drama on this show.
Another line was crossed very recently. Bethenny broke down that fourth wall when she tweeted that Carole was fired from the show. Instead of actually confirming or denying this claim, Andy just made a vague statement and avoided answering the question: “I never really comment on contracts or hiring or firing but I will say that we’re gonna miss Carole a lot. She was an important part of the show for six years.” Then why not just say what really happened? Ugh.
TELL US- DID YOU THINK THE BOAT FOOTAGE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CUT? OR WAS IT INSTRUMENTAL TO TELLING THE STORY? DID CAROLE GET FIRED OR DID SHE QUIT?

After viewers watched Garrett Yrigoyen propose to Becca Kufrin on the season finale of The Bachelorette, the two appeared on Monday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and put their knowledge of...One of the most important life lessons to take with you into the Big Brother house would probably be what is known as the Golden Rule, treat each other as they would like to be treated themselves. Somewhere along her journey, Queen Bay (Bayleigh Dayton) lost her way and forgot about this Golden Rule. After a horrible case of HOHitis, Bayleigh has continued to treat her allies poorly, even when her life in the Big Brother game is literally on the line.
This just may be the end of the F.O.U.T.T.E., AKA the Hive, alliance. Now that Level 6 has taken back control of the game, they have one target in sight and that’s Queen Bay. The irony here is that rather than looking within for being targeted for eviction, Bayleigh would rather blame everyone else in the Big Brother house for her place on the eviction block. Surely, she couldn’t be a target because of the way she treated everyone over the last 10 days or the fact that she blew up her own game by telling Rachel Swindler about her Power App reward. That just makes too much sense, doesn’t it?
Even before the Hacker made it’s way into the Big Brother game, this week’s HOH, Angela Rummans, made it clear that her target was Bayleigh. The Hacker made this a bit more difficult, but thanks to her Power of Veto win, Angela regained control of the game to put her alliance back on top. In addition to winning the POV, Angela stole one of the Hives’ own alliance members right out from underneath them without their knowledge…for now.
During the last couple of days inside the Big Brother house, Scottie Salton made a deal with Angela that could clearly change the course of the game for a few of the houseguests. After continually being thrown under the bus by his own alliance, Scottie decided to take matters into his own hands and make a deal for safety with Angela. As long as Angela promised to keep Scottie off the block as a renomination at the POV ceremony, Scottie promised to guarantee her safety next week if Scottie won the HOH. Oh, and I forgot that one crucial little nugget that Scottie also promised which was to vote with Level 6 this week, throwing his own alliance under the bus.

Even with the BB Hacker Competition going to one of the Hive alliance members this week, Haleigh Broucher, things are not looking so good for this group. They could potentially take a serious blow this week by losing Scottie to Level 6 and losing Bayleigh to eviction. With being down 2 members, that would leave just 3 official members of the group left in the Big Brother house, Rockstar Lantry, Haleigh, and Faysal Shafaat. Compared to a potential strong 7 person team (Angela, Scottie, JC Moundiux, Brett Robinson, Kaycee Clark, Tyler Crispen, and Sam Bledsoe), Level 6 could start knocking off the remaining Hive, one-by-one.
Every week so far this season, the live eviction has brought drama in some fashion to the table. I look for more of the same this week with 2 members of the Hive on the block together, Bay and Rockstar. In the end, Bayleigh just may have to atone for her sins against the other houseguests and pay the ultimate price, eviction from the Big Brother house.
