One Below Deck crew member's voyage is getting cut short. After multiple warnings about her work ethic and an explosive fight with fellow stew Alissa Humber, season 10 stew Camille Lamb was fired...If you’re like me, you’re still very excited about the reality of Lisa Rinna being out over at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But you’re also VERY curious about the future of the show.
Let’s be honest, Rinna stirred the pot. She was the show’s villain. And she really kept certain storylines going (cough, Denise Richards and Brandi Glanville .) And of course her intense beef with Kathy Hilton. For many years, fans called for her firing, and the network ignored their pleas. So that’s why when she dropped the news that she wouldn’t be returning for the next season, my mouth hit the floor.
In a statement to People, Rinna said, “This is the longest job I have held in my 35 year career and I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series.” She finished with, “It has been a fun eight-year run and I am excited for what is to come!”
In an interview with People two weeks before her announcement, Lisa’s better half, Harry Hamlin, shared some of his thoughts about his wife’s tactics on the show.
“She does her job. Her job is to show up on time, interact with the people on the show in an honest and authentic way,” Harry said. “Her hot button issue, I suppose, is injustice or when somebody else is not behaving honestly, she’ll call it out.”
He continued, “And that gets into a lot of trouble. But it also helps the show.”
Lisa is known for begging her cast members to “own it.” Whether that be a comment they said behind someone’s back or possibly doing coke in the bathroom. If she thinks you’re “bs’ing” the group, she’ll make sure you know it.

Harry added, “I’ve known her for 30 years… She has never once, in all of that time, uttered an untruth. And yet she’s being accused of being a liar on the show.”
Her last season was a rough one. From the loss of her mother to her drama with Kathy, I could see the producers setting up her exit from a mile away. I just never thought it would actually happen. At some point, Lisa stopped being the Housewife that brought fun drama and the Housewife that brought a dark cloud over their franchise.
“There’s always going to be 50 percent of the people who like you, 50 percent of the people who hate you. I think the like-hate factor is much more — like 80 percent [of] people like Lisa, 20 percent don’t,” Harry said.
We’ll have to see what the next season of RHOBH gives us fans before we decide if Rinna is needed on this show. Her exit clears up space and makes room for potential returns such as Brandi, Camille Grammer, or even some friends of Garcelle Beauvais or Sutton Stracke. Either way, I’ll be tuned in next season and ready for a fresh start.

The drama in Potomac can’t stop and won’t stop! And the word on the street is that Gizelle Bryant is TIRED of the beef between her and her former bestie, Candiace Dillard-Bassett.
Fans recall the moment the drama started between the two friends during Season 7 of Real Housewives of Potomac. Gizelle told the rest of the cast that Chris Bassett made her uncomfortable during the RHOP Season 6 reunion taping.
Once Candiace found out, whew! She let Gizelle have it. But now, it almost feels like it’s gone on too far. The fans feel it, I know most of the cast feel it, and Gizelle DEFINITELY feels it.
During Gizelle’s recent interview with Today, she revealed that when she told Candiace the info about Chris, she was “very careful” with her words. Gizelle knows that “Candiace is very sensitive and can be a bit dramatic.” Because of that, Gizelle said she “wasn’t going to say anything that was going to be super inflammatory and hurt her.” But since then, Candiace has “took it to a whole other level of nonsense.”
Gizelle said, “Candiace wants to always be a victim. We’re no longer friends, so I don’t feel like I need to hold back anything anymore. What happened happened, and it was unfortunate, and no one’s going to tell me how to feel in a situation like that.”
Gizelle revealed that she believed Chris would take accountability, apologize, and the three would be back to normal. However, she was mistaken.

“Of course, you know, she wants to create a story. This could have died because it was a simple conversation, but she wants to create a story,” Gizelle stated. “She wanted to carry this out throughout the season. She wanted to take all this to ‘Girls Trip,’ which she did. It’s just exhausting to me a little bit.”
After mentioning to Gizelle that Robyn Dixon, her long-time bestie, didn’t believe Chris was trying to be salacious, Gizelle shot back. “Robyn is entitled to her opinion. I never want anyone to just side with me because we’re friends. I do that for people, but it’s just not necessary,” she said. “I am grown, and I am confident and secure enough and can speak for myself enough that I don’t need that.”

Don’t call it a comeback. Call it a takeover!
Before the second season of the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip aired, it had been some time since fans last saw Brandi Glanville appear on anything Bravo-related. Unless you count her brief pop-up during Season 10 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. That is when she dropped the huge bombshell that she and Denise Richards allegedly slept together. Brandi, who first appeared as a friend of the ‘wives during Season 2 of RHOBH, eventually snatched her own diamond and caused waves in the 90210 for several seasons before she was given the boot. After that, we may have seen her pop up here and there on shows like the Celebrity Apprentice. Other than that, most of her time was spent fighting with current Bravo stars on Twitter.
But Peacock has been providing fans with non-stop, action-packed drama that we just can’t get enough of. And now, with the second installment of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club, fans will see the return of Brandi alongside another familiar RHOBH ex-wife, Camille Grammer.
And apparently, the two have some major beef to squash while they’re away filming Season 4 of RHUGT in Morocco. On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Brandi revealed that she and Camille have much more to work out than we knew.
“Well, I think that we have a lot of Twitter beefs to squash, and that’s where that’s going, so hopefully, she’ll come and not cry over dumb stuff,” she said, as reported by Bravo’s The Daily Dish.

Camille is kinda known to throw some major shots in her confessionals but never to the ladies’ faces. Now that she’ll be out of the country with Housewives sharks such as Eva Marcille and Phaedra Parks, I’m curious to see how she holds up.
And I will say I am a major Camille fan and would love to see her return to RHOBH next season along with Brandi. But I’ll take what we’re being given (for now).
When Andy Cohen asked Brandi if she was worried about seeing any of the ladies during her next trip with the ex-wives club, she replied, “They should be worried about me.”
Although a Season 4 premiere is likely closer to the end of 2023, fans can rest assured knowing Brandi will be back to serve up some good tea.

Am I the only one feeling majorly disillusioned with the state of every Real Housewives franchise lately? Will I continue to watch? Yes. Am I going to continue to complain until someone out there somewhere (looking at you, Andy Cohen) does something about it? Probably also yes. Enough with the cliffhangers and scripted family scenes. Let’s pull a Teen Mom if we must, and break the fourth wall completely. Anything to spare me from having to watch another sit-down conversation we all know was planned out well in advance via text or maybe even script writing.
So one bit of drama we can be sure no writer at Bravo cooked up is the arrest and conviction of Jen Shah from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. I’m just as over her haphazard theatrics as you are, but now we’re being subjected to a reunion without Bravo’s top-ranking felon of 2022? So then why was she filmed for Season 3 at all? And what does that mean for the potential of Season 4? Join me in watching the reunion episode sure to cover Lisa Barlow’s explosive comments from a full season prior and Heather Gay dismissing questions about her “mysterious” black eye. Again. Maybe I’ll even be able to keep the Angies straight by the end of this one.

Lisa Hochstein and Lenny Hochstein have a grip on Real Housewives of Miami fans at the moment. It’s almost like we’ve been waiting over a decade for this marriage to implode. So far, nine episodes of this show have been released on Peacock, with a spicy mid-season trailer that just dropped. Lisa is grappling with the “sudden” loss of her husband while Alexia Echevarria seems poised to go after Guerdy Abraira any second now. I think Marysol Patton would join the drama if she could manage to take the straw out of her mouth. The thirst is real.

Another lackluster season, another “to be continued” cliffhanger just as things appear to be getting interesting. When we last left the ladies of Real Housewives of Potomac the Grand Dame in question, Karen Huger was rising in her seat at the dinner table. Queen Karen and Charrisse Jackson Jordan have been taking their time in going for the other this season. That should mean Charisse came fully planned and prepared to take her title as HBIC back from Karen. Yet I don’t see this being the boss-bitch come-up either woman has been waiting for. Imagine fighting over being the most influential woman in Potomac (on-camera) for a show with viewers who more than likely had to Google its location prior to Season 1.

Okay so onto some Netflix content. If you love Top Chef and Big Brother, this may be the show for you. This is a cooking competition series where chefs live together in a house and compete to win $100,000. There’s some secret romance, alliances, and of course, a ton of delicious food to drool over. On this show, the chefs judge each other, either after they have been eliminated, via blind taste tests, or sometimes knowing who they are rating. If you haven’t seen a bunch of crabby chefs try to play nice for compliments, this might be the show for you!

Of course I’m going to be watching Below Deck this week. We have to follow up on Camille Lamb’s work ethic and Captain Sandy Yawn’s tenure as she fills in for Captain Lee Rosbach. Will there be a ticket home for the deck/stew turned full-time laundry maiden? Let’s find out! I’ll be doing a recap of this one so be sure to check back!

Maybe the only thing that the ladies of Real Housewives of Miami can all agree on is that Lenny Hochstein is the absolute worst. The way he dumped Lisa Hochstein and moved on to a new woman (who seems to be a Lisa fan) without batting an eyelash is horrifying.
Lenny’s delusional antics just continue to make everyone and their mother (no literally, even his own mother is #TeamLisa) question the sanctity of marriage. But apparently, one person who still has an open mind about heading to the altar again seems to be LENNY. You really can’t make this stuff up.
Lenny can’t help but speak to every press outlet to trash his ex-wife by utilizing his RHOM notoriety as a jumping platform. Pathetic doesn’t even begin to describe it. It’s amazing he finds the time for so many interviews when he’s not parading his new girlfriend around town and rubbing it in Lisa’s face. Anyway, Lenny spoke to US Weekly and had the audacity to say he isn’t opposed to being someone’s husband again. The absolute nerve.
Despite all of his sinister digs at Lisa, Lenny apparently isn’t “soured at all” about the sanctity of marriage. He chalked up the divorce to a classic case of things not working out. Yeah, if you can call his midlife crisis that. “I have an open mind with everything,” Lenny said about the idea of him getting married again. However, he added that he’s neither open to it nor against it, whatever that means. No wonder Lisa had a tough time communicating with this nonsense.
It’s extra gross because you know that Lenny absolutely loves how much this is torturing Lisa. In fact, his sidekick Katharina Mazepa is probably living for it, too. It’s textbook lame. Let’s pray that most women in the future check the receipts before committing to Lenny after all of this nonsense. It’s hard to imagine who in their right mind would want to jump into planning a wedding with a flake like Lenny after his track record.

Viewers turn into voyeurs as we watch people who a network deems interesting enough to follow around with a camera crew, and enjoy their various escapades.
The genre highlights both individuals and relationships and more often than not we see friendships, marriages, and even occupations fall from grace. In fact, a lot of the time reality television can show us exactly what not to do and how not to act. With that, let’s review some of the more toxic interactions Bravo has blessed us with.
Wow, these two were really something together. Southern Charm stars Austen Kroll and Madison LeCroy could very well be considered toxic as individuals. As a couple, it was like they teamed up like the Wonder Twins to create one giant toxic beast. After dating on and off for a couple of years, Mads and Austen called it quits in December of 2020. The United States collectively took a deep breath and sigh of relief when it was finally over. There was cheating, an unholy threesome, revealed secrets, and your general run-of-the-mill mudslinging. We even got a bonus rumor of alleged infidelities with a sports guy. Thankfully Madison is now married and off the market. Austen remains to navigate the netherworld of toxicity alone. Lucky for us, he’s doing it on about three separate Bravo shows at this point.
Jax Taylor hasn’t been on Vanderpump Rules for a couple of seasons now, but his presence lives on like an unidentified odor in a frat house. Good ‘ol Jax wasn’t just toxic with his romantic relationships. This man took it next-level and destroyed family ties, friendships, and employment opportunities. He’s like the one stop shop of toxic characteristics. Obviously this made him an excellent choice for reality television villain. Hey, remember Jax and Faith Stowers?Anynumberoneguyinthisgroup, Jax is married to Brittany Cartwright, another Pump Rules alum. Jax’s longterm friendships with Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz dissolved when he couldn’t handle their renewed contracts and his pink slip. These days Jax takes a lot of his aggravations out on his front lawn, which is probably what Brittany prefers.
Family. Can’t live with ‘em, can’t steal their goddamn house. The first season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills featured an extremely contentious relationship between sisters Kim Richards and Kyle Richards. If you aren’t aware of the past family drama, I highly recommend doing a deep dive because there is a lot more going on than viewers might think. Being raised by a mother who desperately wanted to her own fame, but settled for farming her kids out, and the fallout of a being child actors in Hollywood creates a closet filled with all kinds of skeletons. While Kim battled addiction, Kyle was able to use it as content for a storyline. Fans watched as the sisters struggled to communicate with each other, seemingly after a lifetime of confusion and family politics. But Kim wasn’t Kyle’s only sibling foe. Kathy Hilton bopped on in in Season 12 and provided Kyle with a brand new chip for her shoulder. The lesson Kyle has ultimately learned is, don’t bring your sisters on reality television with you. It won’t end well.
Kristen Doute is no longer on VPR but my god she gave good television. Her sheer delusion should have received its own spot in the opening credits of the show. After Kristen’s codependent relationship with Tom Sandoval flatlined, she resuscitated herself by starting up with DJ James Kennedy. Kristen took her complete obsession with Tom and basically shoved it in James’ face at any given opportunity. She went out of her way to try and destroy Tom’s budding journey with Ariana Madix. Kristen pretty much made it her whole job to go after Tom and Ariana because she got fired from SUR after multiple and repeated poor judgement calls. James was hardly better, drowning both his sorrows and insecurities in grain alcohol and bad choices. It was a relief when these two finally broke up and went on to terrorize other people instead of wallowing in their shared misery of being together.
Former Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson has had a rough few years. To be fair, she brings a lot of it on herself. Vicki’s most challenging time wasn’t her divorces. It was remaining loyal to a man who lied to her, the viewing audience, and anyone with a pulse. Brooks Ayers charmed the pants off of Vicki and love-bombed her into acting like a complete fool. IYKYK, #cancergate went down in history as one of the most disgusting storylines in Bravo history – congrats Vicki and Brooks! As a result of Brooks lying about a cancer diagnosis and Vicki backing him up every step of the way, Vicki lost a lot of her fan base, she lost respect from her co-stars, and it might be the reason she eventually lost her job at Bravo. Brooks escaped relatively unscathed. He got some new teeth, he got his 15 minutes of fame, and this man also got remarried. These days Vicki might tell you Brooks was the worst decision of her life, but it’s not like her man-picker got any better once Brooks flew the coop.
A bonus entry to this list should be the entire cast of Real Housewives of New Jersey, amirite? It seems like there could definitely be a part 2 and a part 3 to this particular series of toxic relationships.

Bravo's latest family drama is about to play out on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Bravoholics have watched as Teresa Giudice's relationship with her brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law...After many (so many) tries at finding love on multiple Bachelor platforms, Bachelor Nation’s favorite “bad boy” has finally found his person. Nick Viall and his girlfriend of two years Natalie Joy are finally engaged.
“For the rest of my life, it’s you,” the couple announced in a joint Instagram post on January 12, 2023 accompanied by photos from their engagement shoot. US Weekly has all the details.
The happy couple had been rumored to be the next to get engaged for several weeks now, so the announcement came as no surprised to their circle of friends. An insider had previously said that the pair were “very much in love” and could be the “next Bachelor Nation couple to get engaged.”
Fans first met Nick way back in 2014 (has it been that long?), when he competed on Season 10 of The Bachelorette and came in as runner-up for Andi Dorfman’s affections. He made another try the following year as a late entry on Katilyn Bristowe’s season, but again ended up in second place.
Next Nick was cast on Season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise to try his hand at finding love on the beach in Mexico. He was again unsuccessful, but he gained something of a reputation as an older, wiser counselor to some of the younger cast members. This was when Bachelor Nation’s opinion of Nick (and mine) started to change from thinking he was kind of a pompous ass to really liking him and wanting him to find love.
Having rehabbed his playboy image somewhat on BIP, Nick was a surprise pick to be The Bachelor on Season 21, which debuted in January 2017. This time he had better luck and ended up engaged to Québec native Vanessa Grimaldi, but they parted ways after only 5 months.

The former software sales executive was first linked to Natalie in 2019. The couple didn’t actually start dating until July 2020. And then it was another six months before he and the surgical technologist made their relationship Instagram official in January 2021.
The couple first met when Natalie slid into his Nick’s Instagram DMs. “It was very romantic,” he admitted during an episode of The Viall Files podcast. “We kind of kept hanging out, and she finally got to a point where she was like, ‘I want to date,’ and I was kind of like, ‘I don’t know.’”
The Wisconsin native continued, “She just was like, ‘OK, this is what I want. It’s fine, no big deal, but I’m gonna go do my thing,’ and she did, and I was like, ‘What?!’ . . . She went and showed me exactly what I’d be missing,” Nick added.
Later that month, the couple went public when they appeared at the 78th annual Golden Globes in early 2021. “Their relationship is very real,” an insider told US Weekly at the time. “They’re pretty much inseparable. She practically lives with him because she’s at his house that much.”
In July, the pair marked their “1 year ish” anniversary while on vacation in Brooklyn (Brooklyn?! Who goes to Brooklyn on vacation?!). “Visiting the hotel where it all started,” Nick shared via Instagram, alongside a photo of him embracing Natalie. “Thankful for every moment I have with you @nnataliejjoy [heart emoji].”
Just a few months later, another insider spilled that the couple were already talking about expanding their family. “[They’re] both excited about being parents someday and equally excited about the possibility of it being with one another.”
Even though Nick is nearly 20 years older than his fiancée (he’s 42 and she’s 23), they seem happy together. As a longtime Nick fan, I’d be happy to see him settled in a solid relationship. He’s been looking for love for a long time, and I’m glad he finally seems to have found it. And I’d really love to see Nick as a dad! Mazel!

The former longtime host of The Bachelor franchise used his new platform to finally talk about the controversy that got him fired.
The controversy arose when Chris, in a joint appearance with former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay, was asked to comment on resurfaced photos of Season 25 Bachelor contestant Rachael Kirkconnell attending a college party with an “Old South plantation” theme. In the photos, she was wearing an antebellum-style dress. Chris unfortunately attempted to mansplain to Rachel Lindsay, the first Black Bachelorette, that fans need to have “a little grace, a little understanding, a little compassion” for Rachael, who had yet to speak out.
Chris’s subsequent rant involving political correctness and the “woke police” didn’t sit well with a lot of people, and he was officially fired as host of the show in June 2021. The Dallas native shared that the whole situation “crushed” him. He claims to have lost 20 pounds due to anxiety. At the time, he wished he could address the viewers directly, but his employers encouraged him to keep quiet. Now he’s spilling the tea on his new podcast, and US Weekly has all the details.
During the three months between Chris’s termination and the hiring of a new host, speculation was rampant about who would be hired as a replacement. Two of the most prominent candidates were Season 21 Bachelor Nick Viall and affable Bachelor in Paradise bartender Wells Adams (my personal favorite).
“I knew about certain cast members who were calling in,” Chris said. “And the funny thing is, the people who were calling in I knew had no chance to get the job.”
Though he claims to be friendly with Nick, Chris said didn’t think he was right for the job. “Nick wasn’t really strongly against me or said anything,” he admitted. “But, you know, I think Nick was one of those among many who probably saw the blood in the water and saw the opportunity of a job that would be really phenomenal. And I had no doubt he wanted that job. But we saw each other at Wells and Sarah’s [Hyland] wedding and gave each other big hugs.”

Chris also revealed that he thought Wells was the best man for the job. “Wells has always been a very good man and a good friend of mine,” he said. “Wells was in a very difficult situation, because obviously he was still kind of connected to the show, and he was doing stuff on Paradise, but he was one of the first to reach out to me and just say, ‘Look, I’m staying out of this. I love you and respect you.'”
Chris also admitted to thinking Wells would actually get the job. “I even told him, I said, ‘Hey, man, I won’t speak out publicly because I don’t think that will help you at all. In fact, it would do a lot more harm than good. But I really hope you get the job. I think you’d be great at it.’”
Sadly, Wells was not to be, though he’s still going strong as BIP‘s favorite bartender. In the end, ex-NFL player and Season 5 Bachelor Jesse Palmer got the gig.

In episode 2 of his podcast, Chris addressed how the whole controversy had affected his fiancé, Lauren Zima. “Lauren and I had a very difficult time getting through this together, because this happened to her as much as it happened to me,” he said. “In the end, it brought us together more and made me love her more.”
Not only did Chris’s impulsive outburst cost him his own job, but it cost his partner hers, too. The situation led to the end of her Entertainment Tonight Bachelor recap show, Roses and Rosé.
“Roses and Rosé [was] such a joy in my life for me,” Lauren said. But even though she “wasn’t told” by ET to stop doing the segment, “I stopped because I could not live with myself covering the franchise like that anymore. I couldn’t celebrate it in the same way knowing everything that I know now,” she added.
