It was something about sharing Canadian nationality wasn’t it? But truly, the latest group of charter guests were great fun, and all crew on board agreed the vibe, and tip, were tremendous.
But now that the season is coming to an end, the Parsifal III captain was asked to reflect on the charter guests that were hosted on Season 3. Specifically, the good, the bad, and the worst of the worst. Captain Glenn’s “least favorite” group, “is pretty obvious.”
Captain Glenn told Bravo’s The Daily Dish that his least favorite group were also the only people that found any fault with Chef Marcos Spaziani cooking. Remember the “ballpark” food comment? Yes, it was that trio of husband, wife, and mother that made it to the top of the distasteful list.
“Erica Rose and her husband, Charlie, and [mother] Cindi – to some degree messing up the sofa and trying to pretend it wasn’t her – they were probably the worst,” Captain Glenn said during a red carpet interview at NBC Universal upfront. “I don’t really like talking negatively about people. They didn’t take care of the crew. They kind of screwed the crew on, you know, they didn’t leave a normal tip. We don’t tell them how much to leave us in tip, but they left a really good tip last year. You go to the same restaurant two weeks in a row and you give a really good tip and then the next week you don’t, it’s like you’re saying something. So I felt like they were saying something negative to us, where we felt like we did a pretty good job of doing our best to take care of them, make sure they had a good holiday.”
Indeed, after incredibly demanding behavior, and smearing self-tanner on the lounge sofa, Erica’s charter group left a paltry $6,500 tip. It worked out to $720 a person. Hardly, worth the trouble. The crew was shocked, but Captain Glenn tried to rationalize what happened. “If somebody has a legitimite complaint, we take it very seriously, but they were just making stuff up, I think, to justify the tip they already decided before they even arrived,” he said, “I don’t know. There was something going on.”
Ever the optimistic, Captain Glenn tried to be fair and said, “they weren’t terrible terrible.” The crew had moments of “some fun” during the ordeal and that the accompanying guests, “were lovely” and “great.”
With that unpleasant recollection out of the way, Captain Glenn recalled other memorable guests. They “had some great people” on the yacht. One group requested a crew talent show. That primary, Jim, “was really cool, his gang of poeple.” Captain Glenn said, “Oh my god, those guys were so much fun.”
Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher agreed that Jim top the list of “awesome guests.” She said, “They were super fun, and they wanted to be there. You know, you vibe off that energy. People who want to be there, it makes our job easier.”
And while Daisy found Erica’s group difficult, her “biggest challenge” was Dr. Kim Nichols girls trip charter. “The three of them were lovely, but the other three, they’re not bad people, but it’s that sort of level of demands, where even if we had a third stew, you can’t,” Daisy explained. “People who ask too much, we could never cater to them. So that, for me, was probably the hardest charter I’ve ever done in my career.”
For sure, these nightmare charters will be rehashed during the Season 3 reunion, but as for what else will be discussed, Captain Glenn said, he didn’t “know what’s going to come up.” Crew drama for sure, including feedback from Tom Pearson and Gabriela Barragan as to why they left the season early.
“We had some issues. We lost a couple crew members. We had one kind of event that was, you know, not ideal,” Captain Glenn explained regarding the incident when Parisafal III dragged anchor. “I’ve been 22 years on superyachts, never had that particular thing where we had the storm, and the person who’s meant to be watching the anchor watch didn’t do their job correctly, and we ended up stopping in shallow water, which is very serious. So, I don’t know. We’ll probably address stuff like that.”
Still, Captain Glenn is looking forward to having his whole crew together again. “I think it’ll just be fun to see everyone together and chat and reminisce,” he said, “Obviously, there will be some drama.”
The seasoned Bravo-lebrity knows the drill, and expectations for drama that come with reality TV. But Captain Glenn said the fame hasn’t gotten to his head and he’s still doing his “normal job,” continuing 13 years on Parsifal III.
“So it’s a job I do every day, been doing it a long time,” Captain Glenn explained, “And all of a sudden it’s on TV, and some of my friends and buddies in the industry and high school, they see me on TV, and it’s kind of interesting. I enjoy it. I especially enjoy sharing the concept of people working on superyachts to a younger audience that may be looking for a career path that’s a little different from a typical corporate world, a little more adventurous. I really like that aspect of it.”
It’s clear Captain Glenn is married to the job. “Something really special about working on these boats,” he exclaimed. “It’s hard work, but it’s more of a lifestyle. It’s not just a job. I mean, the boats are beautiful. Obviously, we have a lot of interesting, beautiful people working on the boat, beautiful guests coming on the boat, interesting people from all walks of life. So, yeah, it’s good fun. And the exotic locations don’t hurt, right?”
And while Captain Glenn always dismissed the idea of marriage, he revealed there is, “someone in my life.” He added, “but we don’t really want that out in the public eye, at this stage anyway. Maybe in the future.”
His relationship certainly hasn’t affected his life at sea. For now, Captain Glenn is still at the helm. He said, “I’m happy. I’m cruising aroud in my sailboat in France. I have some time off right now. I go back to Parsifal in about two or three weeks. So that’s what I do. If I’m not working, if the weather’s right, I’m on my boat.”

What do you expect when you join as Christine Quinn’s friend with an equally stacked closet?! Not to mention Christine had a feud going with almost every other cast member and needed someone in her corner! Chelsea did her own thing, though, and seemed able to establish herself just fine with the other women at the Oppenheim Group without issue. Everyone except Davina Potratz.
Chelsea and Davina clashed more than once during Season 5. First over a group tea party, and then again during a one-on-one coffee date. “There were things said off-camera and before we shot that really affected my mental state,” Chelsea told People.
“There were some microaggressions thrown out, and watching the show back, I realized that I was very much harboring that state of frustration.” Chelsea added, “You see me kind of escalate to a place of, maybe one could say, anger as a result.”
Season 5 of Selling Sunset treated viewers to the show’s first-ever reunion. Somehow, none of this was covered. Leave it to Adam DiVello I guess. During the filming, Chelsea and Davina seemed to clear the air, with Davina, in particular, seeming ready to move on.
“We don’t have to be super close friends to be cordial with one another,” Chelsea said. “I have the utmost respect for Davina and all of my castmates, truly, but I also believe that we can have different values and different core systems that may not align.” Will Season 6 give us more on that??
Chelsea mused that there were parts of her the other women simply don’t understand. “Maybe my background, maybe the fact that I was so strong and I did come across as having loads of opinions, but everything was purposeful.” Chelsea explained she “didn’t have a voice” when she was younger, so she was determined to come on the show as her “most authentic self.”
Chelsea doesn’t seem concerned about her future at the Oppenheim Group, either. Even though her ally Christine has kicked rocks. “What you didn’t see on camera is my relationship with a lot of the other girls had started to evolve very early on,” she said. “I have many relationships at The O Group, not just Christine.”

Jen Shah’s arrest in March of 2021 rocked the world of Housewives. Although fans had already been following Erika Jayne’s legal issues, Jen’s alleged crimes were directly against her. And her arrest played out on the second season premiere of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, providing viewers with additional fodder.
According to the NYPD, Jen’s federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering stem from long-running telemarketing scheme. They alleged that Jen, along with her assistant, Stuart Smith, conned “hundreds” of victims over 9 years. They were accused of selling lists of potential victims, the vast majority of them being elderly.
Naturally, fans were riveted by the news and wanted more information. And just like Erika, Jen had a Hulu documentary made about her troubles. Now Jen is finally speaking out about the doc, titled “The Housewife & the Shah Shocker.” As reported by Page Six, Jen recent spoke with YouTuber Adam Newell on his show, Up and Adam Live! As for whether or not she watched, Jen said,“I saw little tidbits here and there, right? But the documentary itself, I didn’t watch it because, first of all, they didn’t talk to me.”
She continued, “They didn’t bring on credible sources or any facts or evidence pertaining to what I’m going through.” She then dubbed the show “TV tabloid trash” and that she had “no interest” in watching. The doc was released in November 21st of 2021. Jen added, “That was my perception of it because I knew it wasn’t based in any facts. So I didn’t watch it at all and my family didn’t watch it.”
The documentary revolves around Jen’s arrest, along with the accusations that she ran a nationwide telemarketing scam. The charges have Jen facing a staggering 50 years in prison. Included in the film, there were interviews from Jen’s childhood classmate, along with her aunt. In addition, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills hanger-on, Dana Wilkey, also participated. You might remember her from Erika’s documentary as well. Aside from those “close” to Jen, the doc also interviewed two alleged victims.
Jen’s original trial was scheduled for March but it is now set to take place in New York City on July 8th. Jen previously argued that the release of the Hulu doc violated her right to a fair trial. Her attorney told the judge, “given both the extensive viewership of Hulu nationwide and Ms. Shah’s public notoriety, a change in venue would not protect Ms. Shah’s rights, nor would alternative remedies such as a detailed voir dire or emphatic jury instructions.”
While Jen has pleaded not guilty to the charges against her, Stuart has since changed his plea to guilty. After being labeled as Jen’s accomplice, he accepted three charges against him. Those charges were listed as conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering and obstructing an official proceeding.
During the season 2 RHOSLC reunion, Andy Cohen addressed Jen’s legal problems head on. She told him, “You’re stronger than you think you are. If you can get through the impact of the initial news or whatever you’re going through, you’re going to be OK.”

Former Season 20 winner of The Bachelor Lauren Bushnell (she was previously engaged to Bachelor Ben Higgins) surprised her husband, county singer Chris Lane, with news that they are expanding their family — sooner than expected!
The country star and his wife are expecting baby number two in late October, they confirmed to People. Their second child will join son Dutton Walker, who turns 1 this week.
“To be quite honest, I’ve never been more shocked in my entire life, because this was very much an unexpected surprise,” Lauren said, revealing that in her excitement to show Chris the positive pregnancy test earlier this year, she interrupted him as he was putting the baby down for a nap.
“I was just so in shock that I came running into Dutton’s room and flipped the light on really quick. And Chris was like, ‘What are you doing? I’m trying to get our child to go to sleep! Can you turn the light off?!’ And I was like, ‘I’m pregnant’ — just in shock. And he was equally shocked when I gave him that news.”
“When we found out, Dutton was almost 8 months old and I didn’t feel anything. I truly had no symptoms. I was actually more so taking a pregnancy test just to reconfirm that was not what was going on! And to my surprise and to Chris’ surprise, it was very much positive.”
“We had planned on having at least two kids,” Lauren continued, “so we’re very thankful that it was able to happen for us, even if it wasn’t necessarily on our exact timing. We’re both just incredibly excited.”
The pregnancy has brought the couple, who married in October 2019, “even closer, when I didn’t think that was possible,” said Chris, who will be playing fairs and festivals this summer. “We make a great team.”

Former two-time contestant on The Bachelor Becca Tilley is in love!
After keeping their relationship private for the past four years, Becca is now sharing details of her romance with singer Hayley Kiyoko — including the fact that Taylor Swift was one of the first people outside of their inner circle to know about them.
As reported in E! News, Becca was in Boston to see Hayley perform with Taylor and got to meet the superstar in her dressing room after the show.
Meeting Taylor “felt like talking to a friend,” the reality star said, and having the 11-time Grammy winner be one of the first people to know about them was pretty special. “I thought that was a really cool thing,” she said, “because obviously Taylor Swift stan forever.”
Becca, who appeared on both Chris Soules‘ and Ben Higgins‘ seasons of The Bachelor, publicly confirmed her relationship with Hayley in a video shared to Instagram on May 20. When asked to sum up last weekend in a Taylor song, Becca picked two tracks from Taylor’s album 1989, “Out of the Woods” and “Clean.” She explained why she chose the first track, “That whole song, like, really encompasses me, my experience and my relationship.”
Just hours before the video was posted, Hayley released the music video for her song “For the Girls,” featuring a queer version of The Bachelorette. Becca even made a cameo at the end of the video.
“Obviously we knew the video was happening and that was going to at least cause talk and speculation,” Becca said. “And in my mind I thought, ‘How do we do this reveal in the video and then not actually reveal our relationship?’ It only made sense to do it together.”
Still, Becca made it clear she was never hiding her relationship with Hayley. “For four years, it’s been our relationship, but I was telling someone the other day, like, Hayley and I were never secret,” she said. “Like, we were very much ourselves, we held hands in public, we kissed . . . If I was with Hayley, I introduced her, ‘This is my girlfriend, Hayley.’ I never was like, ‘This is my friend’ or ‘This is my best friend.’ I really made an effort to make sure there was that distinction between private and secret.”
Even though she knew their friends, family and fans would champion their relationship, Becca said there was still a part of her that was nervous to share their love with the world.
“There was this other part of me that had been fearing the reaction of people for four years,” she said. “There was that ‘Do I want to let that negativity enter our relationship?’ When I made the decision to go public with it, I thought, ‘I have this army of people who have my back no matter what and, like, the people who I care about most in the world are our supporters and they love us.’ So, I was prepared for anything and everything. I was not prepared for the amount of love and support we got.”
While speaking about the loving comments of support they’ve received, Becca teared up. “Hayley has really made me feel brave,” she continued, “and she was always like, ‘People are going to love you. People love you and they want to see you happy.’ ”
And she doesn’t feel the need to label her sexuality. “For me, it was never about my label,” Becca said. “Having the label and being able to name what they’ve experienced is really important for some people. That just wasn’t my experience . . . It’s not like, ‘This is my label. This is my sexuality.’ It’s more like, ‘Hey, I’m in love and I’m excited to share it with you all.’ ”
After looking unsuccessfully for love on two different seasons of The Bachelor, isn’t it nice to see Becca happy and in love? Now that they’ve gone public with their relationship, maybe we’ll see Becca and Hayley together on the Grammy Red Carpet one day soon!

We included these products chosen by Porsha Williams because we think you'll like her picks at these prices. Porsha is a paid spokesperson for the Amazon Influencer Program. E! has affiliate...He put a ring on it! Dancing With the Stars veteran Derek Hough has been with girlfriend Hayley Erbert for 7 years. The two first met on his and sister Julianna Hough’s Move Live Tour in 2014. Hayley was cast as a dancer and within a year, the two became a couple. Hayley then joined the cast of DWTS as a troop dancer.
Derek, who went from longtime DWTS dancer to now judge, previously admitted to trying to conceal their relationship for privacy reasons. But they finally gave in and their love was better for it. He said in an October 2020 interview, “It was liberating, honestly, just being like, ‘Hey, this is our relationship. This is cool. This is what it is and it’s great.'”
Now Derek and Hayley are putting their happiness on full display. As reported by Page Six, the couple announced the news via Instagram. Derek posted an adorable snap of him holding Hayley up in the air in his arms. He captioned it, “It’s only the beginning…the beginning of forever.” Well wishes flooded into his comments section. DWTS pro Sasha Farber wrote,“Congratulations!!!!!! About time man!!!!” Jenna Dewan added, “Awwwwww yay congratulations!!!!!!” with a bunch of heart emojis for emphasis.
As for the proposal itself, Troy Williams of Simply Troy Lifestyle + Events helped plan the special moment. He told People, “Derek surprised her and got her out of the house for the afternoon. He wanted their home transformed. They’re an adventurous couple and have seen such big moments, but their home is their sanctuary and it’s where they fell even more in love.” He then shared, “After she said ‘yes,’ it was just everything — such a special, beautiful moment and just so them.”
It sounds like Derek finally found a time that felt right for him. He told Entertainment Tonight in 2017 about the pressure to get engaged, “I want to marry once. I want to be with that person that I love dearly. I want to get to know that person. I feel like if anything, it’s something that I don’t feel like should be rushed into doing at all.”
After finally going public, the two started a YouTube channel together and started sharing. In one video, Derek acknowledged that the number 1 question he gets asked is when will he get engaged. Derek claimed that he doesn’t have commitment issues, he just doesn’t feel pressured. In one of Hayley’s candid videos, she talked about when they first met. She recalled, “I wouldn’t say I was playing hard to get, but I definitely didn’t show Derek me.” But Derek knew from the get go. He gushed, “I saw her heart and I was like, ‘I love that.’”
The couple have even discussed with fans their desire to have a family down the road. Hayley said she would like three kids then laughed, “But I might pop out one and be like, ‘I’m done.’” Derek agreed, “I want children, [but] I don’t know how many. I guess I’ll know after the first one, like, ‘Yeah, let’s do this again!’”

Kris Jenner isn't secretly married, bible. Kris has been dating longtime boyfriend Corey Gamble since 2014, and Khloe Kardashian is beginning to get suspicious about when the two...New show alert! We’ve already spoken ad nauseam about how terrible the last season of Real Housewives of New York was. Fans have dissected every aspect of what went wrong. Ultimately, the reunion was scrapped and Bravo announced that the RHONY would be split into two franchises. One, a RHONY reboot with a presumably new cast. And two, RHONY Legacy for possible OGs and former fan favs.
But now two RHONY fan favs are set to star in an all new show, according to Page Six. Luann de Lesseps and Sonja Morgan have allegedly signed on to do a Simple Life-style reality show. While nothing has been confirmed by the powers that be, sources close to production shared the details. Much like the popular Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie reality series, Sonja and Lu will mingle with us everyday plebes. It will likely be set in Middle America, far removed from the glitz and glamour of their current lives.
Sources indicate that the paperwork is already signed and filming will begin in July. The show has yet to be named and is still technically in development. But all signs indicate that the show has the green light.
Lu made waves when she joined the cast of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, which did well with fans. Sonja hasn’t been a part of any spin off prior. And this would obviously be the first time the two would be fronting a show together. The series will also be the first spin off from RHONY that doesn’t involve Bethenny Frankel.
An insider revealed, “Luann and Sonja of course will be their fabulous selves and each episode will have them interacting with the locals. They don’t know the locations yet, but it’s going to be somewhere like Kansas or Nebraska, not some hipster Southern town. [Executives] have been holding the locations even from the gals until the last minute.” The show is expected to be about 10 episodes long and feature celerity guest stars.
This would obviously be big news in the RHONY world as casting is still struggling to make the next season happen. Back in April, rumors started that production was having a hard time finding a new cast. And outside of Jill Zarin begging for a spot on social media, we haven’t heard much coming out of RHONY Legacy. Although the same sources for this story indicate that Lu and Sonja will be a part of the cast.
It remains unknown when this new Lu and Sonja production will air and if it will be on Bravo or Peacock. But initial reactions on social media are overwhelmingly positive. It sounds like this show might be just what we needed.
