The former beauty pageant contestant made a big show of saying that she was going against the wishes of her illicit lover by revealing the info. If she was trying to ingratiate herself to anybody for her “honesty,” it failed miserably. Frankly, it made the whole situation worse as her former best friend’s wedding became ground zero for all the deception.
But the newlyweds revealed that the big reveal wasn’t such a surprise after all.
Scheana called the revelation “disgusting”
A TMZ reporter caught up with Brock and Scheana at the airport and asked the couple to react to the reunion episode that aired last night. The footage was hyped up by Bravo producers as explosive and shocking. Yet the VPR stars hardly batted an eye at what went down.
“Did you find out anything new? Did you know about the Mexico stuff?” the reporter asked. “We heard,” Scheana replied. “We heard from a lot of people at the wedding.”
TMZ wanted to clarify if they had suspicions at the time of the wedding. Scheana responded that she and her wedding guests started to connect the dots once news of Sandoval and Raquel’s affair was uncovered. “When it all came out, then people were like, ‘so when we saw that at the wedding, that was weird,'” the Good As Gold singer replied.
The reporter followed up by questioning how the bride felt knowing that her big day has been tainted by Scandoval. “That brings it even closer to her that your wedding that all this was going down,” he commented. Scheana responded that she found it all, “disgusting.”
And who could blame her? Moreover, Raquel and Sandoval took advantage of Ariana Madix’s bridesmaids’ duties to conduct their trysts.

After the conclusion of Vanderpump Rules Season 10, Tom Sandoval cemented his place as the most hated man on Bravo. Not only was cheating on Ariana Madix with Raquel Leviss bad enough but he’s been lying and rubbing it in her face. With ugly, overpriced lightning bolt necklaces, at that. Thankfully, Tom’s projection is just that and Ariana couldn’t care less about his low blows. However, that doesn’t make them right.
A prime example was during the finale episode of the Pump Rules reunion. Ariana rightfully pointed out that he slept with her after he and Raquel had already started a relationship. Sandoval had the audacity to try and clap back by body-shaming Ariana. He remarked that the last time they had sex, Ariana kept her t-shirt on and he didn’t think it was hot. Well, I’m sure Ariana didn’t always think Sandoval’s crusty mustache or sequins pants were hot either but she still stayed faithful.
Andy Cohen warned fans that a cringe-worthy comment from Sandoval was coming during the episode. Now that the world knows exactly how nasty Sandoval got, Andy has quite the reaction to the disrespect.
Tom Sandoval’s manipulation was on full display
On the episode of SiriusXM’s Radio Andy following the VPR reunion, Andy had to unpack the comment he teased us about. He pointed out that he, like the majority of the world, wears a t-shirt while having sex sometimes and it doesn’t make it not “hot.” Facts. Honestly, maybe Tom should try keeping his shirt on a bit more often, especially whenever he steps on stage to sing his karaoke ditties.
The comment was offensive to not just Ariana, but anyone who has struggled with body issues, Andy commented. “Ariana herself in past seasons of Vanderpump Rules has talked about not feeling good about her body,” Andy said. “So to weaponize that, it was so cringy.” You can say that again. At least Ariana can profit off of yet another example of Sandoval’s evilness on full display. Honestly, I hope the next time Tom *allegedly* sleeps with a groupie or random woman, they end up wearing Ariana’s merch T-shirt right in his stupid face.

Golnesa GG Gharachedaghi is unrecognizable in more ways than one. She is a gorgeous individual but looks so different from what we remember on Shahs of Sunset.
First off, GG does a lot of maintenance. No shade thrown – it’s just apparent her face has changed. And also, her journey with Ozempic. She’s been very public about her weight loss journey and vocal about other Bravo personalities’ choices. Notably, she insinuatedKyle Richards uses it – while Splits adamantly says she doesn’t.
It went viral

GG recently went viral for talking about Ozempic and had significant interest and questions concerning the process. According to Page Six, she is happy to be helpful to people who want her kind of help, and she’s not entertaining any hate.
GG recently posted a video in her bathroom with a lot of ass-shaking, and romantically speaking to the camera. She admits she lost a little more weight than anticipated, and has tapered down to the maintenance level of the diabetes drug. She lost roughly 30 lbs. in the first half of 2023.
GG always looked beautiful, but admits the decision has to do with the “societal pressure” and “pressure of social media.” That’s too bad that she’s been holding the weight of others’ opinions. However, she’s grown and going to make her own decisions. She also said she has been single for seven years so she needs some from a man. She seemed very pleased with herself.
GG is also a mother and after giving birth that can be a long journey in itself. She’s accepted that the weight could return following the shots, and she’s fine with it. The weight she was at prior to, was the highest she could recall being, and per her post, being skinny is important to her.
Overall, let’s promote healthy people. First and foremost, health. And mental health. Finding ourselves within to be confident and happy with who we are, and making decisions based on that. We want this for all people, Ozempic or not.
Shahs is dead in the water, but you can catch GG on her podcast, Genuinely GG. Or check out her company, Wüsah a Cannabis Co. which was birthed while on the show.

The Chrisley Knows Best alum spoke with his sister, Savannah Chrisley, on her podcast about navigating life as a teenager with incarcerated parents. “To me, it’s worse than them dying,” the reality star said. “Because they’re here, but they’re not here. So, it’s just time that’s being wasted. I’m saying, like, if they died, there’s no possibility of you getting any more time with them. So, it’s over.”
After a nearly three-week-long trial in June 2022, Todd and Julie were found guilty of many criminal charges, including conspiracy to commit bank, wire, and tax fraud. In November 2022, a judge sentenced Todd and Julie to 12 and seven years, respectively.
Grayson is struggling to move forward
As the two continued their conversation, Grayson and Savannah agreed that their family was “forced to have closure” since their parents were locked up. However, the former Miss Tennessee Teen USA tried to shift her brother’s perspective slightly.
After reminding Grayson that their parents are “still here for you to hug and say, ‘I love you,’” the 17-year-old explained how that moment is still not quite the same.
“I mean, yeah, but I get to do all that within a time limit,” he responded.
Julie’s seven-year stint is at a federal prison in Kentucky, while Todd is tucked away at a minimum-security facility in Florida. Consequently, finding the time to visit their parents has been difficult for the family. Despite that, Grayson said his parents have told him to live his best life while they’re serving time, but for him, it’s not that easy.
“You know they understand,” Grayson said. “But it’s like, you still feel bad.”

Meanwhile, it’s very muddled. Luis Ruelas said multiple times he hired the notorious Bo Dietl. But this guy (Bo) is not simply RHONJ-level news. He’s acted in major films and TV shows. For one, Wolf of Wall Street (which may or may not have been financed with illegitimate funds). He’s the arresting narc in Goodfellas and plays a role in The Irishman (produced by Randall Emmett). His television and film roster is as impressive as his decorated past with the NYPD. Moreover, can Luis even hire him?
Where does Andy come in?
Andy Cohen says Bo Dietl reached out to him last week. And it came up on his, and cohost, John Hill’s recent Sirius XM Andy Cohen Live Podcast. What was said? Obviously, Bo Dietl says that Luis didn’t hire him. Naturally, Andy asks him, “Well then how would Louie come up with it on camera several times and say that you got him info on people?” Bo says that he doesn’t know. That the guy is just talking.

John Hill basically responds with – what’s with the flip-flopping. Luis is saying he hired him, then not, Bo’s saying no, and in the same breath Teresa Giudice is airing, “Oh, well we know that because of private investigators.” Accordingly, John is straight baffled by the whole conversation of circles. He’s thinking he wouldn’t even know how to find a PI, and for what purpose would Teresa The Innocent feel she needed one?
Also, the other interesting part is the rumor going around about Luis’ ex-wife. However, Andy didn’t mention that. She’s allegedly needing a restraining order in regard to a clinical “patient” who asked a lot of questions about her past relationship. Furthermore, she appears to have some sort of connection on paper to Dietl’s PI practice. Is this web of allegations real? Or is everyone connected with RHONJ equally paranoid? You tell me.
Watch Part 3 of Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion June 13 on Bravo at 8/7c.
TELL US – WHAT’S THE STORY? WHO DID BO DIETL REALLY GET WRAPPED UP IN THIS? DO YOU THINK HE WANTS TO BE INVOLVED OR NO?
The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 has been one for the Bravo history books. Teresa Giudice has been feuding with her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga, for over a decade. Even though it was entertaining television in the beginning, fans have had enough of this storyline.
The newest season of RHONJ picked up with Tre and Joe continuing their fight from the season prior. Additionally, Joe and Melissa strongly disagreed with Tre not asking Melissa to be a bridesmaid during her wedding. As the season progressed, more details emerged about what caused the strain in their relationship, such as a failed pizza oven business with Tre’s husband, Luis Ruleas, and a baseless cheating rumor involving Melissa and another guy.
When the season finale premiered, this bombshell cheating rumor was revealed to the rest of the cast and sent some over the edge. The aftermath possibly caused one of the biggest blowups in the show’s history. Once production wrapped, both sides claimed to be officially over the drama with the other, and unsurprisingly, viewers are on the same page.
Kristen Chenoweth reflects on the Giudice and Gorga family drama
It should come as no surprise that Broadway extraordinaire Kristen Chenoweth is a big fan of Real Housewives. The 54-year-old has been on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen several times and has voiced strong opinions about Bravo storylines over the year. And this time is no different.
In an Instagram comment, Kristen, who played Glinda in Wicked on Broadway (who knows a thing or two about forgiveness), shared some sound advice for the Giudice/Gorga crew.
After revealing that watching the RHONJ reunion upset her, Kristen offered up advice for the Jersey families to consider.
“I will say this: When there is empathy, there can be forgiveness,” she wrote. “I have seen the worst of Teresa over the years.” Kristen added, “I feel badly for her for sure. The way she has treated her brother and Melissa over the years has to be exhausting.”
“I wish everyone on the show were better listeners instead of talkers,” she continued. “So much can be learned when you listen. God bless them all.”
This one’s for you tonight. We’ve been through a lot together during this season of Vanderpump Rules. Thanks for staying with me while I tried to make sense of it all.
When we started Season 10, Raquel Levisswas carrying the show and I will die on that hill. I think we can all agree that watching stale relationship dynamics move into the middle phase of life just isn’t that gripping. Really, all she had to do was bring a galaxy light and things were tolerable. But why stop there?
Season 10 became absolutely unhinged once news broke of #Scandoval. No doubt this will send ripples throughout Bravo for years to come. Viewers and their unsuspecting partners have been overrun with breaking story after breaking story regarding anything Tom Sandoval or Ariana Madix related for the last several months. We’ve become reality television scholars. I’m even researching nail art for my degree in Manicure Criminology.
So let’s get on with it. The show started with Raquel walking to her seat on stage.
Raquel’s reckoning
VANDERPUMP RULES — “Reunion” — Pictured: (l-r) Tom Sandoval, Tom Schwartz, Raquel Leviss — (Photo by: Nicole Weingart/Bravo via Getty Images)
Raquel starts out at the reunion saying she’s embarrassed, she’s not proud of herself, and she owes people an apology. She claimed that her personality shifted over the summer, and Ariana recites her already iconic line, calling Raquel “sub-human.” Raquel argues that her sins, in fact, make her human.
In her 1:1 interview with Andy Cohen, Raquel maintained that she and Tom had only hooked up … um … once … before her end-of-season sex talk with Ari. When asked if she encouraged Tom to break up with Ariana, she says no. Raquel insists she only asked Tom to evaluate whether he was happy in his relationship.
Things devolve from there. Ariana tells Raquel to fornicate with a cheese grater, Tom begins mocking James Kennedy’s accent for lack of anything to say, and Lala Kent reminds everyone she can spot a cheater. She has her Masters in the Mistressing Arts, after all.
Tom #2
Tom Schwartzlearned he was an ugly kisser this season. Still, Raquel insists she was exploring real feelings for Schwartz while they were in Mexico (and she was hooking up with his bestie). She said she was “curious” about making out with Schwartz “since the beginning.” Whenever that was.
The gang also recaps the argument about Rachella. Schwartz, who has his own history of dumping drinks, didn’t seem to mind the drink James threw on him earlier this season. His beef had more to do with James insulting his old nerdy loser lifestyle. James apologizes, and that’s that.
WE INTERRUPT THIS RECAP FOR AN ARIANA ANTI-CLOGGING RAZOR BLADE COMMERCIAL. Why was this so funny?
Give them Rachel
VANDERPUMP RULES — “Reunion” — Pictured: (l-r) Lisa Vanderpump, Tom Sandoval, Tom Schwartz, Raquel Leviss — (Photo by: Nicole Weingart/Bravo via Getty Images)
Time for more Raquel v Everyone. Raquel accuses Lala of being desperate for James’ attention during their relationship. Raquel calls her out for wanting him back in her bed as soon as he was happily dating her. No lies detected. Lala shoots back that Raquel needs a mental evaluation. Again, no lies detected.
Raquel admitted that she wanted to skip the reunion. She was embarrassed about keeping the affair from Ariana, who has always been in her corner. She apologizes and says she’s been selfish. She calls everything a mistake and added that she handled everything wrong. She says she is seeing the consequences of her actions that she hadn’t considered because she was living in the moment. She said that being with Tom made her feel seen and heard, and his love bombing was better than anything Ariana had ever provided.
Ariana says she hopes her dog’s ghost haunts Raquel, and calls her ex-bestie a dementor. Raquel says she is in love with Tom, and Ariana calls her ugly and rotten like a moldy piece of fruit. Tom says he loves Raquel too. Whatever.

Have we ever seen Lisa Vanderpumpwork like this? She had no idea about Tom dressing like Raquel for Halloween. Ken Toddstayed off the blogs that day, I guess. Lisa did, however, press Raquel for her lightning bolt necklace purchase on camera. The conversation takes a few turns, and suddenly Tom is mocking Ariana for keeping her shirt on in the bedroom. A serious low-point.
The comment actually bothers Lisa, but she ends her time on stage begging everyone to find forgiveness and compassion. Ariana rolled her eyes all the way back to Season 2 when LVP brought her on the show to scare off Kristen Doute. It’s all in the book for Herstory 201. And it seems herstory is repeating herself once again.
Hot tub time machine
The final moments of the episode are given to Raquel. She’s in a lot of pain. Bloated with lies about the timeline of her tryst. In her final interview six days after the reunion was filmed, Raquel explained that Tom wanted to lie in order to make things less painful for Ariana. So kind of him to sacrifice like that, but clearly Raquel moves to the beat of her own drum.
Raquel admitted that the second time she and Tom had sex was in Mexico during Scheana’s wedding. She found him stray in the hallways, too drunk to find his own room on the first night. Rather than help him to his stay, she ended up getting physical with the slob. And they kept things going from there. Schwartz must be devastated to hear this.
Raquel went on to say she’s not only met Tom’s mom but that she was completely aware of the situation. Raquel maintained that it ate her alive to not tell Ariana the truth. She loves Ari so much she wanted to be an official thruple. Then she had a breakdown, saying she and Sandy hooked up in Ariana’s home, while she was out of town at a FUNERAL.
Now, Raquel is in a hard spot. She has no one supporting her except for Tom. She knows that admitting these truths may cause him to abandon her, and she’s in no place to lose any supporters. That said, she hates lying about the night in the jacuzzi. She knows that lie in particular is a bad look, but she doesn’t seem to understand why it’s not about the look and more about humanity. Never hire a pageant coach with a mustache. They covered that in Clout Chasing 101.
See you next season!

Summer’s edition of Love Island continues, and with it comes the drama. Are heads turning already? Can Mitchel and Molly survive past their first week? What will new Bombshell Whitney bring to the series? Here’s our full recap of summer Love Island Episode 3…
Mr. Steal Your Girl
André says he wasn’t expecting Zachariah to steal Catherine. A few moments later, he brags to the boys that he saw it coming. Still, he brags that he’s going to continue speaking to her with “full motion, no brakes, foot on the gas pedal.” Good luck Dré! Catherine seems pretty settled already…
Going for an instant date on the terrace, Catherine and Zach get closer than ever before. She feeds him a strawberry, while he bigs her up. “Can’t say it was a hard decision,” he admits. Feeding his ego in response, she tells him she is “moving towards you more [than André].” She also commits to telling André to back off if he continues being “territorial.”
Meanwhile, George pulls Ruchee for a chat. He confesses that he finds her attractive, which leaves her stunned. “I didn’t realize I was even your type,” she tells him. “You always look fit,” he replies. “Sometimes I just focus on trying to make all the funny jokes.” Ruchee likes his sense of humor, which is a good thing, because most other people seem to find it very cringe.
Sparks between Jess and Tyrique?
The next morning, Jess and Tyrique continue to flirt. She offers herself up for his breakfast. He laughs and tells her how good she was at kissing during the challenge. Are there sparks here? Jess finds out a little later on when she makes her move…
André’s got a text! A new Bombshell called Whitney is waiting for him at the beach. He’s overexcited, and so are the rest of the boys. They talk to him as if he’s about to play at Wembley in a World Cup final. It’s all a bit much.
Bombshell Whitney arrives in style
Image: ITV
Whitney says she’s been out of the dating game for a while. Not because she’s not confident! She’s got that in bucket loads. “If your man can be stolen, was he really your man?” she asks to nobody in particular. This one might be trouble…
André does his best to flirt with Whitney throughout the date. She seems less interested than she makes out in her confessionals. She keeps mentioning André’s age: he’s 21 and she’s 25. She wants a man, not a boy.
When they go back to the villa, Whitney gets a warm welcome from everybody. It’s not late enough in the game just yet for the girls to start feeling some sort of way when a newbie walks through the doors. André says Whitney is his new favorite, but again changes his mind a little later on, saying Catherine is who he wants to graft.
Put firmly in the Friendzone
Image: ITV
Jess puts her big girl panties on as the night settles, and asks Tyrique what their flirting has been about. “There’s not really anyone in here that I’m swaying towards … you’re the fittest boy that I get on with in here,” she tells him. “I thought it was a flirty friendship,” he replies. OUCH.
“Fine just Friendzone me,” she replies. She’s trying to act as if she doesn’t mind just being friends, but she seems a little hurt. Still, good on her for immediately establishing boundaries. She tells Tyrique the flirting has to stop if they’re going to just be friends.
Ella later tells Tyrique she is happy he “made it clear.” Is somebody else in the villa getting a little territorial?
Mehdi and Whitney’s connection, and two proper snogs
Image: ITV
Mehdi pulls new girl Whitney for a chat. He tells her that he loves “a boss lady.” The pair exchange compliments about one another’s eyes. It’s all very basic level flirting, but they do seem to get along. Whitney may be just the woman Mehdi needs not to become the first boot of the series.
Tyrique and Ella’s chat ends with their first real smooch of the series. It goes on for a little longer than anybody would expect. Mitchel follows suit, taking Molly up to the roof terrace. “Will you marry me?” he jokes. It’s actually hilarious, good move Mitchel! He then tells Molly he can’t not kiss her when she looks “this good.”
“He literally just went in and he does move fast,” Molly says in confession. “I guess it worked in his favor!” It certainly did.
Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX.
TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE NEW SEASON OF LOVE ISLAND? DO YOU HAVE ANY EARLY FAVORITES? WHO WILL BE SENT HOME FIRST?
We may only be two episodes deep into summer Love Island, but the behavior of some Islanders has us scratching our heads. There are cocky boys, and signs of a possessive personality. Red flags are already starting to show. Here’s what happened on Love Island 2023 last night, and our full Episode 2 recap…
Zachariah gets to know the girls
Image: ITV
Upon his arrival, the first Bombshell of the series, Zachariah, pulled the five girls for a private chat. He told them he had been single for almost four years. Ella said in a confessional that she was intrigued. He wasn’t her usual type, but there was something about him when he started talking. Zach definitely has some sort of swag, but he also feels a little nervous.
When he goes off to meet the boys for the first time, the girls discuss Zach’s “seasoning.” He’s a little spicy, and some of the ladies are into that. Jess meanwhile, takes another opportunity to throw George under the bus. The public may have put them together, but he is “too nice” for her. As they chat, Mitchel senses his partner Molly is getting cold. He takes off his jacket and brings it over for her. “Take notes!” the other girls shout towards the guys.
Later on, Zach speaks to Catherine one on one, now that she’s feeling better. She tells him he has “spice.” He returns the favor by naming her as one of his top three girls based on first impressions, alongside Ella and Ruchee. Jess may be upset not to be among this trio, as she describes the new arrival as “pretty handsome” and “chilled out.”
As everyone heads to bed, Molly and Mitchel enjoy a sweet goodnight kiss. She asks if she can spoon him, and his face lights up like a Christmas tree. It was exactly the position he wanted to be in, per an earlier conversation with the other boys.
Judgement Day
Image: ITV
Zach reminds everyone he has all the power at tonight’s Firepit ceremony. Before then, however, there’s plenty of time for grafting. Zach won’t tell the boys who he has his eye on, as he wants to “keep my cards close to my chest.” Fair enough, he’s playing the game. So long as he keeps the audience up to speed.
Molly is pulled for a chat by Zach, who she thinks is “mature” and “very zen.” So zen in fact, that she couldn’t imagine enjoying a long conversation for over an hour with him. They’re getting along fine, but they don’t seem like a match.
Catherine gets some time with Zach again, and tells him she has caught him giving her the eye. “I feel like with you it’s very easy,” she says. “I don’t feel forced. It feels very chill.” Zach agrees, and while he is usually a “slow burner,” he feels that on Love Island, you “do need to move at a faster pace than you’re used to.”
Knowing his time with Jess has already come to an end, George pulls Molly for a chat. Unfortunately for him, it’s about as awkward as all of his initial exchanges have been. He has first elimination written all over him.
Later by the pool, Tyrique and Jess get some alone time. “Today I looked, you made me look,” he tells her. Could there be a spark here? “Made you look, made you stare … made you change your type,” Jess jokes. Not quite a rhyme that she was going for, but it got the message across.
Telling Tales
Image: ITV
The Islanders leave the villa for their first official challenge of the series: Telling Tales. Mitchel seems nervous. “It’s just a game,” he repeats, before the challenge has even started. As the task is set to reveal some secrets about the contestants, perhaps he should be worried.
First up, the guys get to expose some of the girls’ secrets. Ella went through her ex’s phone when he was sleeping, because he was “moving shady.” Jess lied to her mother while they were on vacation about getting her nipple pierced. Molly used a friend’s handbag to unblock a toilet. Relatively tame.
Catherine got the crappy end of the stick, when it was revealed she once kissed five different guys on the same night. Ruchee also showed her traditional side, as one of her biggest red flags is a boy who wants to split the bill on a first date. It’s 2023, Ruchee!
As part of the challenge, the boys got to kiss the girls that they thought the secret was aligned with. This gave Zach the opportunity to play a spot of tonsil tennis with Catherine. She described it as a “good kiss,” and André – who she is currently coupled up with – clearly felt threatened.
Then came time for the boys to get exposed. Mitchel’s secret was first up, and Molly said his admission “really boiled my blood.” He was seeing three girls at the same time. Not a great look, Mitch!
Mehdi unknowingly flirted with a mother and her daughter on the same night, while André’s biggest fantasy is to have sex with two MILFs. Zach ghosted a girl by lying that his phone had broken, but Tyrique got the fury of the ladies when he admitted to stopping keeping track of how many women he had slept with when he passed 100.
“Pulling and shagging’s all I know innit?” he joked. Ella wasn’t impressed at all. “I don’t like that.” Oh dear.
Back at the villa, it’s time for Zach’s decision
Image: ITV
Tyrique comes off terribly when he compares having sex with over 100 women to Catherine snogging a few guys on a night out. Mitchel also gets a bit tongue tied when he says he will give Molly “the benefit of the doubt.” Um?
Some final chats take place before Zach’s big decision. Mitch wants to explain himself to Molly. He claims that he “was seeing one girl, then stopped talking to them.” He says he was completely single and it wasn’t like he cheated. Still, he says it was the “worst thing I’ve ever done,” and it didn’t make him feel good at all. Hopefully these two can move forward, as they seem like a great match!
Catherine has another chat with Zach, and André doesn’t like it. So much so, that he steals her away from the conversation. “You got a little bit territorial there didn’t you?” Catherine says to Dré. “You’re too much.” She later tells the girls the same thing: “Being territorial does give me a little bit of an ick.”
As everyone heads to the Firepit, all eyes are on Zachariah.
Speaking about the girl he has chosen, he explains: “The conversations we have had have been very easy; they felt very natural – and she’s also a very beautiful person.” He then steals Catherine away from André, leaving the single boy vulnerable. Cut to credits!
Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX.

Daisy Kelliher has her pick of male castmates on board Parsifal III. The Below Deck Sailing Yacht stew always had the eye of Gary King, but never indulged his advances. Except for a drunken kiss in the hot-tub. At least, nothing more than that happened on camera. But as the mid-season trailer teased, the two may have hooked up between charter seasons.
Two seasons of this flirtatious banter, and now there is a new element to add. Colin MacRae is single for the first time during charter season. And he has his sights set on Daisy as well. The new duo just kissed on a recent episode. The department heads on Parsifal III are all in a messy love triangle. And there is more drama to come.
Daisy refused to name the better lover
Andy Cohen played off this dynamic when Daisy appeared on a recent Watch What Happens Live. Ladies choice. The Bravo executive had her play Stuck in the Middle With Crew during which she picked either Gary or Colin to answer a series of questions.
It started off innocent enough. Colin has the better man bun. He’s more of a gentleman, according to Daisy.
Gary smells better and is more fun on crew nights out. That comes with the territory of handling his booze better. The First Mate took that title as well.
For the less innocent questions, Daisy weasled out of answering by naming deck hand Alex Propson, who was on WWHL at the same time. The chief stew answered Alex when asked who was the better kisser and who could she see herself settling down with.
There was one question that Daisy completely side-stepped. After Andy asked if Colin or Gary was the better lover, she replied, “not answering that.” With the mid-season trailer hinting that the Irish native had sex with Gary, that was a total trick question.
Finally, a very foreshadowing answer that Colin has more to admit to during the reunion. What could Daisy be talking about? The trailer would have us believe that she was hiding the fact that she had slept with Gary. Very intriguing.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.
TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF DAISY’S RESPONSES? DO YOU AGREE WITH ALL OF THEM? WHAT DO YOU THINK COLIN HAS TO OWN UP TO AT THE REUNION?
It’s hard to believe we’re only through with two out of three reunion episodes for Real Housewives of New Jersey. Somehow, it feels like this trainwreck should’ve crashed by now. The entirety of Season 13 either feels like the same episode on a loop. We’re getting Teresa Giudice’s delusion, Luis Ruelas’s red flag of a face, and the Gorgas desperately trying to clutch onto a Bravo contract every week. At this point, make it stop.
Bravo premiered the second episode of the RHONJ reunion which was just as vitriolic as the first. Even so, we still have an entire episode featuring the RHONJ HouseHusbands to sort through. It’s been a long and messy season that’s perfectly exemplified by this trainwreck of a reunion. Truly, you have to feel for Andy Cohen for trying to referee this mess. Here are five of the main takeaways from Part 2 of the RHONJ Season 13 reunion.
Melissa and Tre are off the rails

Melissa Gorga and Teresa spend so much time at the reunion exchanging back-and-forth digs that it’s barely worth it to unpack it all. We picked up the episode with Tre doubling down that she believes that Joe Gorga and MelGo were, somehow, responsible for her going to jail. Andy, correctly, pointed out that Joe Giudice is really the one to blame, but have we ever known Tre to listen? It got nasty with MelGo calling out Tre for committing mortgage fraud and reading alleged texts from Jacqueline Laurita.
Dolores Catania’s reaction was the only appropriate one. “Sleep with one eye open,” Dolo told MelGo about messing with Jacqueline. “This is bad for you, Melissa.”
Tre’s go-to line at the reunion, as usual, is to call out Melissa for needing her for a storyline. Somehow, it turns into the two sisters-in-law telling one another to shove the “namaste” up their “a-holes,” which just epitomizes how petty this is. Melissa also tried to make a moment out of calling Luis the new “b-tch boy” for wanting to be a part of the show’s drama. Truly, I couldn’t be more bored with the Melissa and Teresa of it all and this reunion episode solidified that.
BravoLuver1234 has entered the chat

Newbie Rachel Fuda had quite a segment in this part of the reunion. She talked about adopting her stepchild and how the process was finally complete. Andy brought up that her son Jayden’s birth mother had been speaking to the press, and Rachel dropped the bomb that Luis and Bo Dietl (Luis’s private investigator) were the ones to track her down. It’s a topic that’s sure to be discussed more once a, newly hairless, John Fuda gets on stage, but it’s clear the Fudas have joined team #CancelLuis.
Rachel and Jennifer Aydin also had a fun little exchange about the nose job shade. Now this, my friends, is the drama that Real Housewives is all about. It comes out that Rachel claimed to Jennifer that, before being cast, she didn’t watch much of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Jennifer, on the other hand, screams out BravoLuver1234 — Rachel’s alleged fake Instagram account for following all things Bravo.
“She’ll run out of gas in a second,” Andy said about Jennifer when Rachel tried to make the host make Mrs. Aydin stop talking. Jennifer is an icon, a legend, and my problematic fav. Rachel is also lowkey iconic for having a burner account for Bravo. I doubt she’s the only star to do so.
It’s hard not to feel Andy Cohen’s pain

The biggest takeaway from Part 2 of the reunion is that Andy Cohen is tired. He’s sick of playing therapist to Teresa and the Gorgas when nothing ever changes. Andy repeatedly has to scream over the women, who are screaming over one another, in an attempt to steer the conversation. “You guys are like f–king kindergarteners,” Andy said. “You don’t grow, you don’t evolve.” No lies were spoken.
At the end of the episode, Andy doesn’t even get a break. He has to prepare for the husbands to come out, which will undoubtedly add more fuel to the fire. He approached both Luis and Joe Gorga separately before they got on stage to beg them not to get into a physical fight. “I’m the first line in there and I’m going to get the sh-t beaten out of me,” Andy said to Luis about a potential fight. The only time Andy smiled was when Jennifer Fessler, one of the “nice Jewish girls” on the show, told her story about James Gandolfini. This man needs a long vacation after this reunion.
Danielle was bamboozled by a Boogawolf

The rumor started by Margaret Josephs’s old friend Laura Marasca Jensen involving MelGo allegedly cheating had to be discussed. Marge got into the breakdown of her friendship with Laura, which she claimed had to do with the show. The biggest bomb dropped by Marge was that Jennifer had already told Melissa the cheating rumor long before filming. That means that she allowed Danielle Cabral to believe that Melissa had no idea and that she had a responsibility to confront her about the rumor on camera. Danielle, while on stage, was in a state of shock.
Jennifer Aydin gave a half-hearted apology if it “came across” that she and Tre had set up Danielle. Danielle was firm in saying she didn’t feel like she was set up. “I choose to believe that I’m nobody’s pawn,” she proclaimed. However, when she was backstage speaking to her husband, her microphone caught her whispering the exact opposite. “They set me up,” she said defeated. I smell trouble amongst Danielle and her new RHONJ friends next season, and boy am I welcoming whatever new, light-hearted drama this show has to throw at us.
The alleged evil of Luis and Bo Dietl

We’ll have to wait until next week to see Luis attempt to explain his reasoning for hiring a private investigator to dig up dirt on his friends. However, his co-stars had plenty to say about it beforehand. Tre tried to deflect the topic back onto Margaret, who often is brought gossip from various sources. In general, Tre ended up looking worse by saying Marge can’t afford to hire a private investigator to do her digging like her new husband. “So all you have to do is have money to be more evil?” Melissa explained. Chills.
A lot of accusations were thrown in Luis’s way in this episode aside from the Fuda family drama. Margaret brought receipts that allegedly proved Luis had called her child at work and threatened him over the phone. Frank Catania also claimed that Luis shut down the company that little Frankie was working for and ghosted their son without a job. Luis doesn’t have many people riding for him besides Tre. Even Dolores was scared of all the accusations being thrown around and asked to be removed from the Bo Dietl narrative. Smart woman.
“There have been such angry angry arguments in this show and it has never ever gotten to the point it’s gotten to right now,” Frank Sr. explained backstage. “The only thing different is Luis.” Gear up, Jerseyheads, we only have one more week of this chaos to make it through.
Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 concludes Tuesday, June 13 at 8/7c on Bravo.
