Deal or No Deal Island Episode 6 Recap: Another Shocking Surprise From the Banker

Welcome back! Let’s get right into the Deal or No Deal Island Episode 6 recap. Last time, Aron decided that Miranda would face the Banker. She opted to take a $40,000 personal offer from the Banker, but she was sent home after making a bad deal. This week’s episode, “Are You Intentional?” features another game-changing twist from The Banker. Here’s everything you need to know about Deal or No Deal Island Episode 6!

The rise of the Night Owls

Aron was worried about his game moving forward. But Alyssa reassured Aron that she was a bigger target. She needs immunity or to face The Banker. If not, she will be packing her bags.

Meanwhile, Stephanie sounded off to Nick, Amy, and Rob about Aron betraying her. “I’ve never been so hurt because it just wasn’t on my radar,” she said. And Nick was angry because he thought he was in an alliance with Rob and Aron. But no one told him that Stephanie was a target. Nick thinks that he is the most intelligent person in the game. He was one of the top 500 people out of 90,000 who took the sanitation worker test. So, Nick is gearing up to take out the trash on the island.

And a new alliance formed: The Night Owls. This foursome always stayed up late together. Stephanie calls herself a Barn Owl, who seems “dignified” but will “scratch your eyeballs out.” Nick is a hunting owl because of his physicality. Dawson is a Long-eared owl since he knows all the gossip. While Amy is a Great Horned Owl because she is “kind of crazy” and “ready to attack.”

Stephanie has some questions

Stephanie asked to chat with Aron. Awkward! He apologized. He also admitted that sending her home was partly his plan. But it was also what Alyssa and Rob wanted. Stephanie started to cry. Aron! Why are you tossing your alliance under the bus?

He added that she was truly his friend and that he went along with Alyssa and Rob’s wishes so he wouldn’t be sent home. Stephanie told Aron that Alyssa is “untrustworthy.” She also mentioned that people want to work with him and that he has other options in the game.

Next, Stephanie talked to Rob. She wanted to find out exactly who wanted her out. She asked Rob if it was Alyssa’s plan or Aron’s idea. Rob denied knowing anything about Aron’s decision. But he knows that everyone thinks that he masterminded the plan. Then Stephanie told Rob that Alyssa was her target.

An explosive challenge

The group headed out to the next excursion. A sign read, “Danger explosives.” Rob dissed Joe’s outfit. “Joe’s got his usual outfit on. You know, something a little ostentatious, a little braggadocious. Saw the loafers, Joe,” Rob added.

Joe looked excited about the challenge. Cases are suspended over the water, with explosives attached to them. The guests will be divided into teams of two. They will each use a torch to light the fuse that will blast the cases free. The highest-value cases were suspended higher than the lower-value cases. And the highest value case for this excursion is worth $3.5 million.

In a clearing, each team has a box with up to three extenders that they can use to make the torch longer. The team that brings back the highest combined total wins immunity. The team with the lowest total will be the bottom two.

The Teams

The guys picked colored armbands, and then the ladies drew them from a box. The teams are:

• Aron and Amy
• Dawson and Jordan
• Nick and Alyssa
• Rob and Stephanie

And let me just say that Nick and Stephanie were delighted by their teammates. The Night Owls were all with other partners.

And now for the twist. The lowest case says, “Banker’s Bonus.” Players only need one extension to reach it. “It is a game changer,” Joe told the guests.

A slippery surprise

As the teams discussed strategy, most were planning to go for the Banker’s Bonus. Uh-oh! Joe neglected to mention that the cases were filled with snakes. “And don’t worry. They don’t bite…that hard,” Joe said.

Snakes are like Rob’s kryptonite, but he puts his hands in there anyway. I love how Nick screamed at the snakes. I couldn’t tell if he was being bitten or was just trying to scare them.

Aron and Amy took off first to get the Banker’s Bonus. She had to swim against the tide and keep the torch lit. Amy gets the $500,000 case and the Banker’s Bonus.

Dawson and Jordan took just two extenders. Meanwhile, Rob and Nick were still fighting the snakes for the third extender. They both want immunity. Rob pulled out the third extender just a few minutes before Nick did. They were neck-and-neck struggling to reach the highest value case. Finally, Rob lit the torch for the $3.5 million. Nick nabbed the $2.5 million.

Alyssa and Stephanie were in the water next. Stephanie grabbed the $1.5 million, and Rob and Stephanie have immunity. When it was Aron’s turn in the water, his grip on the torch slipped and it went out. He headed back to relight it, but the remaining cases weren’t enough to keep him and Amy out of the bottom two.

Boston Rob works his magic

Stephanie and Rob have to decide who will face The Banker. But Amy hoped that the Banker’s Bonus would reverse Boston Rob’s immunity.

Rob asked Amy and Aron if either of them wanted to face The Banker. Neither was enthused about the prospect. Rob wanted Amy to play because if Aron were to play and lose, Rob wasn’t as safe. But he didn’t want to force her to play because it revealed his strategy. Finally, Amy said she wanted to face the Banker. Rob is some kind of mind-control genius. The Survivor player’s powers of persuasion are amazing.

Alyssa was worried about her safety. She wants to win the money so she and her girlfriend can “open a really fun and inclusive and safe space in Missouri.” Alyssa talked with Amy, trying to save herself. But Amy shut her down, saying that she was too tired to talk game. Ouch!

Who will face the Banker in The Temple?

Amy McCoy faces off against The Banker in Deal or No Deal Island Episode 6.

At The Temple, Joe asked Amy what she would do with her winnings if she made it to the finale. Amy said, “I would buy my grandma her dream car, which is a Grand Jeep Cherokee, and then I would buy my husband a brand-new truck. He’s never had a brand-new vehicle ever in his life,” Amy explained. “We can go mudding in that truck!”

For her case, Amy selected case number eight because she and her husband were married in August. For the first round, Amy has to open nine cases. In her first four picks, Amy knocked off three high numbers, including the $3.5 million. While everyone else winced, Alyssa and Aron smiled.

The Banker called with an offer of $152,000. Amy refused it. She had to open four cases during the next round. Afterward, there were $100, $850,000, and $2.5 million left on the board. Cue the Banker’s call. Amy’s new offer is $825,000.

Joe asked Aron, her teammate, what his thoughts were. He advised her to follow her heart. Now Alyssa and Aron were looking nervous. Once again, Amy declined the offer.

She only has to open one case in the next round. Amy explained that at camp, when the tent mates picked their beds, Miranda was number two. So, she selected that case for Miranda. It knocked out the $2.5 million. So, the Banker called back with another offer. It had gone down to $467,000. Once again, Amy rejected it. Then the phone rang again.

Before Amy could find out if she made a good deal or a bad deal, The Banker wanted Aron to open the Banker’s Bonus case. It said, “No elimination tonight.”

Who was eliminated in Deal or No Deal Island, Episode 6?

No one was eliminated in Deal or No Deal Island.

The Banker certainly loves to toy with our emotions, doesn’t he? Just for fun, Joe wanted to see if Amy made a good deal or a bad deal. It would have been a good deal because Amy’s case contained the $850,000. Now the final case total is $2,841,000.

Amy wasn’t happy with the Banker’s Bonus, labeling it, “Banker’s bullsh*t.” She was disappointed that she didn’t get to send Alyssa or Aron home.

Deal or No Deal Island continues on Mondays at 10 p.m. ET on NBC.

Simon Guobadia Demands Porsha Williams Retain Texts With Mystery Man Kelvin Owusu-Ansah

As if the divorce battle between Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia wasn’t messy enough, now we have a new character to the story. His name is Kelvin Owusu-Ansah. You’re probably wondering, “Who is that?” We’re trying to figure out the same thing.

According to Radar Online, Simon has demanded the courts to have Porsha retain her text messages with Kelvin. He also wants her to keep text messages from her sister and a woman named Karen McKinney.

Simon also asked the Real Housewives of Atlanta star to keep all of her income and financial records. This request comes amid his accusations that she strategically married and divorced him to satisfy her own “financial gain and greed.”

Who is Kelvin?

A post shared by Porsha Williams (@porsha4real)

Throughout the divorce battle, Simon has raised some very specific complaints about Porsha. He said she forcibly entered their home and showed up at their house with a gunman. When it comes to this Kelvin person, Simon didn’t dive into many details. He didn’t mention why these texts would be relevant to the divorce case.

It’s not completely clear who this person even is. There is an African sports broadcaster whose name matches the one in the court documents, but Porsha doesn’t appear to be following him on social media. With that said, it’s also unclear what Simon is trying to say about the nature of their relationship. He provided little context about what he’s asking for here.

While Simon leaves us all scratching our heads with this latest court filing, Porsha has accused him of violating their prenup. According to their agreement, he was supposed to vacate their home within 30 days of a divorce. Porsha said he’s refusing and even changed the locks on the house to keep her out. Perhaps this Kelvin guy is just a locksmith in Atlanta caught up in all of this mess.

Simon has also sent a cease-and-desist to those filming the next season of RHOA. Hopefully, there’s a way around that, because missing out on all of this real-life drama would not be beneficial for the show’s much-anticipated comeback

TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MYSTERY MAN NAMED IN SIMON’S FILING? DO YOU THINK MORE INFORMATION WILL COME OUT ABOUT HIM AS THE DIVORCE BATTLE CONTINUES?

Rihanna Gave Kyle Richards Marriage Advice Amid Separation

Photo by Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images

Kyle Richards has shed some further light on the moment she met Rihanna in Aspen. Back in January, the two happened to be doing some VIP shopping at the same outfitter.

News of the encounter spread across the internet with Rihanna reportedly feeling a lot of enthusiasm to speak with Kyle. As many Bravo viewers know, the Grammy winner is a huge fan of the Housewives, including The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

However, the two did more than share their excitement and pleasantries. As it turns out, Rihanna offered up some advice to Kyle in the wake of her marital problems with Mauricio Umansky.

Rihanna defends Kyle amid costars’ questioning her

While on Kelly Ripa’s podcast, Kyle recounted the moment she met Rihanna. “So, she was in Kemo Sabe when I was in Aspen,” Kyle began.

“It was actually closed, Kemo Sabe, and I was heading home and I saw there was a light on. And I was like, ‘Oh, I need to get something from there,’ and I knew they would open the door for me. So I knocked and they’re like, ‘Oh, it’s Kyle.’ And I saw them like saying something like, ‘What do we do,’ and I was like, What’s going on?’”

The staff let Kyle inside and told her Rihanna was upstairs. Kyle then reported that Rihanna was a fan of the show, alleging that the singer met one of her daughters and said she was “obsessed” with the Umansky family.

Once upstairs, Kyle said Rihanna was “so sweet” and offered “all kinds of amazing advice about my marriage, the women, and how we’re handling things.”

“I haven’t told anybody this, but she said something that was so amazing … She said, ‘Next time one of these women want to know all the details of the intimacies of your marriage, tell them ‘Why do I need to give you the blueprint to my home when I’m already renovated?’”

Kyle went on, calling the artist “smart,” “incredibly supportive,” and “a beautiful person.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is streaming on Peacock.

Scheana Shay Teases ‘Something That’s Never Happened Before’ at Pump Rules Reunion

Photo by Jesse Grant | Getty Images

The Vanderpump Rules Season 11 reunion is fast approaching, with filming having wrapped up just a week or so ago. Now, Scheana Shay has reported that viewers might be in for a real surprise.

If Scheana is right, the reunion could be exactly what Season 11 needs. So far, not many viewers have been impressed with what VPR has to offer post-Scandoval. More than anything, the frustration comes from an attempt to redeem Tom Sandoval when it seems he hasn’t changed at all.

On the March 26 episode, fans saw Lala Kent drifting toward a defense of Tom, much to Ariana Madix’s displeasure. Is it any wonder the two had a confirmed falling out at the reunion? But whatever happened, Scheana has hyped it up.

Scheana claims Lala said what everyone was thinking

E! News caught up with Scheana over last weekend’s Newport Pickleball Tournament. When asked what fans could expect from the upcoming reunion, Scheana teased, “Something that’s never happened before.” As far as what she could divulge, she suggested that Lala was the driving force behind the surprise.

“I don’t know if you’ll be shocked by Lala. But she definitely says what I think a lot of people maybe think and don’t say out loud.” To put on my tinfoil hat for a moment and drum up a theory, it sounds like Scheana is talking about the much-discussed fight between Lala and Ariana.

Something that “a lot of people maybe think and don’t say out loud” could likely refer to criticisms of Ariana. Few speak out against Ariana these days because it’s PR suicide among Bravo fans. Just look at where Lala’s been since news of her feud with Ariana dropped.

And, to be frank, Ariana certainly is worthy of some criticism. But Season 11’s attempts to redeem Sandoval by dragging her down have just been silly and insulting. Granted, we don’t know with any certainty what Scheana was referring to.

Vanderpump Rules Season 11 continues Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Below Deck Season 11 Midseason Trailer: Jill Zarin Turns Karen

Photo by Mark Sagliocco/Getty Images

As if the crew on Below Deck Season 11 haven’t struggled enough, things are about to go from bad to worse. Bravo just dropped the midseason trailer, and we’re about to get a slice of the Big Apple. Jill Zarin from The Real Housewives of New York City will make an appearance as a charter guest. Does it surprise you to learn that she’s bringing a ginormous list of demands? These yachties aren’t going to know what hit them.

In the Below Deck midseason trailer, the stakes are higher than ever before

There are nine episodes left this season, and the trailer shows that there is a whole lot of drama left to unpack. This crew has already navigated being short-staffed. They lost their bosun. They lost a stew. Now, in the second half of the season, they have to deal with being terrorized by Jill.

“This is a buffet meal,” Jill quips in the trailer. “This shouldn’t be a three-hour meal. Make it better.”

Everything Jill says has a certain sting to it. When she’s complaining, it’s amplified to the thousandth degree. In another clip, you hear her complaining to the interior crew about a cold burger. Suddenly, Scary Island doesn’t seem so scary.

Of course, Jill’s charter crew includes her boyfriend, Gary Brody, and daughter, Ally Shapiro. Jill doesn’t leave the house without them. In the trailer, we see Gary jumping in on the complaints as well. He seemingly slams the service, exclaiming, “This is crazy!”

Outside of Jill dragging the entire Below Deck cast, we also get a glimpse of the new stew that’s arriving to replace Cat Baugh. Plus, it looks like Captain Kerry Titheradge might have to fire another crew member. The trailer teases some tough feedback he delivers to one of the yachties.

“I’ve done everything I can for you to succeed. The issue is that you’re not thriving,” Kerry says. That can’t be good, but we will certainly be tuned in.

Below Deck Season 11 continues on Bravo, Mondays at 9/8c.

Why Robyn Brown Is Her Own Worst Enemy

TLC/YouTube

Sister Wives fans thought they might have been able to escape from watching Robyn Brown, but it seems that the wedding special focused on Kody Brown’s favorite wife’s two-faced ways. Robyn has been one of the most disliked TV personalities on TLC for ten years, thanks to her crying and manipulation. So when Kody’s wives started dropping like flies, it made sense to assume that Robyn and her charming husband would ride off into the sunset, never to be heard from again. But the mother of five still hasn’t learned to keep some of her opinions to herself. 

TLC Kept Cameras Rolling

This isn’t TLC’s first rodeo when it comes to making sure they catch all the drama between Robyn and the rest of the polygamous family. More than once during Season 18, the camera caught Robyn making herself look bad. And whether she knew it or not, these moments have been engrained into viewers’ minds. During the early years, it felt like Robyn and Kody were often granted immunity from the editing gods as the cutting room floor spliced and diced her less savory moments. However, Season 18 showed that TLC was no longer willing to play that game. 

During one of the family’s last conversations, Robyn walked away from Kody and Meri Brown in hopes of being the center of attention. The scene was painful as it became clear she didn’t want Kody and his first wife to be talking. The move was so transparent that it became comical. Instead of having Robyn’s confession fade into a scene of whimpers, Robyn looks extremely foolish and calculating. I mean, Meri was the one losing her marriage, but no, you go and make this about you, Robyn. 

Robyn Is Miserable

Every Sister Wives season has shown Robyn hysterical as the season ended, praying her polygamous family stays together. But this last season just highlighted how miserable the mother of five truly is, and you know what they say: misery loves company. Nothing the first three wives could do was ever good enough for Robyn and her dream picture. 

It didn’t go unnoticed that Robyn also didn’t enjoy being on screen or filming inside her house. Frankly, if she didn’t want to be on screen, she shouldn’t be getting a fat paycheck. Season 18 showed just how much Robyn was riding the coattails of the others and getting more out of the situation. The revelation blew fans’ minds since she isn’t the one opening her home to the crew or showing any vulnerability.

Robyn Shut Up Kody

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Robyn Brown (@robyn_browns_nest)

Perhaps the most telling sign was how Robyn managed to cut off Kody from speaking about his feelings about Christine on her wedding day. Let’s be honest; it wasn’t going to be positive, but why else have viewers stuck it out for so long? It was to see the drama that is Kody losing his mind. It is obvious the two are not happy with the state of the family, and the theory was proven when Robyn stopped Kody short of calling out Christine literally by covering his mouth. While with any normal couple, the move would have been generous, Robyn once again came across as controlling.

Kody tried to say, “She made the accusation that I had –” Robyn stopped him in his tracks, saying, “Aren’t we just so happy for them?” The whole scene gave me the ick. But that is what Robyn does best. Kody tried to pipe up again, but Robyn kissed him, noting, “We’re just so happy for them, right? That’s what we want.” She is a leech who latched herself onto a married man three times over and then seemingly ruined the family.

Robyn never learned to normalize her emotions, and instead of befriending the rest of the family, she thought gaslighting them would be appropriate. Now, she might only have herself to blame.

The Valley Episode 2 Recap: Tit for Tat

Photo by: Casey Durkin/Bravo via Getty Images

Welcome back for our recap of The Valley Episode 2: “Tit for Tat.” Last week’s episode kicked off the latest Bravo spinoff with a bang, introducing some new, smiling faces. However, this week, those happy faces have turned into frowns, especially after Nia witnessed her husband being pantsed by Jax. Nia is still livid this week about the practical joke, but there is trouble elsewhere, too. Jesse gets himself into hot water after an altercation with Kristen and Luke. And Jax’s guy’s night comes to a screeching halt after he invites someone who is meant to catch Luke off guard. 

Doute disaster

At the start of The Valley Episode 2, Jax and Kristen decide to meet up for a lady’s lunch situation after the father of one took it upon himself to blast Kristen for wanting to have a child with Luke. There is a high chance The Smokehouse Grill would go up in flames with these two prominent personalities, but it seems that first snacks are in order.

I don’t want to judge Jax’s qualifications when it comes to being a friend, but wouldn’t you think that a guy who has been friends with Kristen for 16 years would remember that she is a vegetarian?

But, I will say, Jax jumped right into the apology, claiming he didn’t mean to “corner” her at Janet’s birthday. For those who don’t recall, Jax was surprised that Kristen was even thinking of letting Luke impregnate her. Forget that it was none of his business; he made it his business, along with making everyone at the party uncomfortable.

Frankly, Kristen is saying what I think most women in the country are thinking, “Why are my guy friends saying, ‘I don’t really trust your decision about your own life, Kristen.'” 

Kristen is paying a price

Yes, Kristen made mistakes with her ex, Alex. She sold her house and moved in with him, and they broke up several times before he kicked her out. But life happens, and last time I checked, Jax was not the poster child for great life decisions.

But things are looking up for Kristen, who claims that her and Luke’s communication is “stupid impeccable,” whatever that means. Jax makes it clear he doesn’t care how many kids Kristen wants; he just says that she and her new beau are not on the same page.

Honestly, I am blown away at this man’s audacity in claiming he knows which relationships in his friend group are thriving and which are not. According to the supposed #1 guy in the group, he is “pretty good at spotting a Kristen Doute disaster. I can spot it a mile away.”

Guys, I’m dead. My jaw is on the floor, and again, I am thanking my lucky stars that Jax is back on my small screen. No matter how much projection he indulges in. 

Luke is forever

Photo by: Casey Durkin/Bravo

I will say Kristen might not have her finger on the pulse. She claimed that Luke would definitely be moving to LA, and she would be signing her own lease.

Jax went on to say he’s “seen a lot of guys like look come in and out of her life, and they leave, and they need therapy.” The former T-shirt entrepreneur wants her friends to treat Luke better because he isn’t going anywhere.

Kristen swears Luke is going to be forever, which means we only have one choice; to grab the popcorn and sit back. 

Trouble in paradise

Photo by: Felix Kunze/Bravo

It is clear Michelle and Jesse are not okay even during a West Hollywood park day with their daughter. The two were extremely passive-aggressive about teaching their daughter to ride her bike. This whole scene gave the impression that the two love to fight, and this round is about their parenting styles.

I will say, Michelle gets the jabs in. My favorite had to be that she wasn’t aware Jesse had no patience. Sadly, Jesse hit the nail on the head, revealing in his confessional, “I’ve changed into somebody she doesn’t want.” 

Also, a huge red flag for me is that Jesse doesn’t remember nipple-gate. After four minutes of hockey, the boys talk about how Jesse grabbed Kristen’s nipple at the birthday party. Instead of owning up, Jesse doubles down, saying a “nipple twister doesn’t seem like my style.” Really? It seems very much like your thing, Jesse. 

Alex cometh

Photo by: Felix Kunze/Bravo

As Kristen said earlier in the episode, “Jax stumbled into a saint who is willing to deal with his bullsh*t. God bless Brittany.” And that couldn’t fit Jax more, especially when it comes to the explanation of boy’s night.

Luke finally found his backbone and decided to stand up to Jax after it became apparent he had invited Kristen’s ex to the bowling night. Is Jax the Don of the group? Because it sure feels like it! He tells Luke that he has “great motivation on this. I want you to be a part of the group.” Next thing we know, Luke will have to kiss his ring. 

After Jax clarifies that he wants Luke and Alex to be friends, the Colorado native refutes the idea and states his case. Luke is being pretty great as he stands up for Kristen, yelling, “I have her back 100%.” Luke also notes that Kristen is still very triggered by her past relationship.

Even though Luke is new, he hits the nail on the head, explaining, “Jax knows her triggers. I don’t think this is something friends do to friends.” You’re right, Luke. Inviting a friend’s ex is not what a true comrade does. 

The Valley continues Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Vanderpump Rules Season 11, Episode 9 Recap: Who Did Katie Hook Up With?

Photo by: Nicole Weingart/Bravo via Getty Images

Welcome back to the Vanderpump Rules Season 11, Episode 9 recap. Last time, Sandoval tried to apologize to Katie, and Ariana attended the same function as Sandoval. This week’s episode, titled “Kiss Kiss, Revenge Bang” features Schwartz dishing to Lala about a past hookup. Here’s everything that you need to know about Pump Rules, Season 11, Episode 9!

Sandoval wants the house

Billie Lee visited Sandoval as Vanderpump Rules Season 11, Episode 9 got underway. She is bringing her friend, Tii, to Hotel Ziggy to see James DJ. Tii and Sandoval met at his pool party.

Sandoval jokingly called Ariana his “roommate.” Billie pointed out that living with your ex-girlfriend is worse than bunking with your mother. Ouch!

In his confessional, Sandoval explained that a couple of months ago, his attorneys sent a letter of intent to Ariana. Sandoval wanted to buy her out of the house, and “for top market value.” He was surprised that he hadn’t heard back from her.

Meanwhile, Ariana was in her room. She called Ann Maddox, Sandoval’s then-assistant because she wanted to find her own assistant.

Much to Ariana’s surprise, Ann would like to be considered for the job. “Ann is just so sweet and she deserves so much more than putting up with my ex-boyfriend,” Ariana said. She questioned whether she was the answer to Ann’s prayers, but she hoped that someone would rescue her.

Kiss and tell

Lala and Schwartz met up at a juice bar. Lala informed Schwartz that when she feels “awkward” she talks about her vagina, and Schwartz’s face lit up. Just like a kid at Christmas!

Schwartz pointed out that everyone in this friend group has cheated. “I’ve cheated. I was a make-out slut. I made out with Scheana like 12 years ago in Vegas,” Schwartz said. “No one even knows that.”

The look of shock on Lala’s face was priceless. You could see Lala trying to put the timeline together. She asked when this happened. According to Schwartz, he and Katie were dating, “but it was a rocky moment.” That’s right, Schwartz was embracing this “summer of forgiveness” to help lessen Sandoval’s sins. That is … an interesting choice.

Lala was feeling like this was sus because she was besties with Scheana. So, why would Scheana never have mentioned playing tonsil hockey with Schwartz? Then, Schwartz added that he didn’t know if he ever told Katie.

So, when Katie came over to visit Lala, she told her about Schwartz and Scheana. In her confessional, Katie said what we are all thinking. “What the actual f*ck?” she said. “Are you kidding me?” Back in 2013, Schwartz admitted that he made out with one of Scheana’s friends in Vegas. But was it Scheana?

Katie asked if Lala talked to Scheana. Lala knew if she talked to Scheana first, then she would have time to “make this a pretty picture.” The ladies weren’t happy because the duo kept this secret under wraps for years.

Jo Wenberg says she’s been bullied

A post shared by Tom Schwartz (@twschwa)

Brock and Scheana arrived at Hotel Ziggy right after Schwartz and Jo Wenberg. Then Sandoval and Kyle Chan rolled up. Ariana strolled in, looking hot in a skin-tight dress.

“Ariana looks great,” Sandoval observed from a safe distance. Then he told Brock that he wanted to talk to Ariana about the house. Meanwhile, Schwartz and Jo said hello to James at his turntables. James may have been happy to see Jo, but Scheana wasn’t.

“Right now, I really don’t have a reason to like Jo,” Scheana said in her confessional. “She literally drove with [Rachel Leviss] to go meet the Toms in Big Bear and then left [Rachel] with Sandoval in Big Bear,” Scheana said. “Like, come on, b*tch. You knew.”

Scheana then became obsessed with Jo removing her hat. She wanted Jo’s braids to show. “I’m gonna bully you. Take the f*cking hat off!” Scheana exclaimed. In her confessional, Jo felt uncomfortable about Scheana’s actions. Jo said her hat was “comfortable.”

The fact that it was a TomTom hat didn’t help. “I’ve gotten a lot of hate from the girls. It’s a hundred percent bullying and … it’s not fun,” Jo said in her confessional. “It’s horrible.”

Katie and Lala hit the club next. Sandoval trotted over to see Billie and Tii. Jo was with them. The rest of the Pump Rules ladies were shooting the group dirty looks.

This past year, the ladies made some upsetting allegations about Jo. Katie wrote on social media, “Jo is spooky. Her energy is on par with a crackhead.” Jo added in her confessional, “That is hurtful and harmful to anyone who has ADD.”

Jo knew that Lala, Scheana, Ariana, Ally, and Katie were talking about her. Ally tried to stand up for Jo, saying that she was coming with a peaceful energy. But Katie shot that notion down.

Ariana was the next to slam Jo as “a full-blown mean girl bully” who didn’t “give a flying f*ck about spending Thanksgiving with me in my home while knowing that our mutual friend was f*cking my boyfriend in my house.” Jo walked by and remarked that she felt uncomfortable, which gave Katie a win. Finally, Jo started to cry and wanted to leave.

Scheana comes clean

Meanwhile, Lala and Katie filled Ariana in on Schwartz’s story about locking lips with Scheana. Ariana admitted that she made out with Scheana in Vegas. But Schwartz and Scheana were joking about it during the holidays, which rubbed the trio the wrong way.

Sandoval picked this moment to approach Ariana. He asked if she received the letter. She answered that her lawyer had it and looked away. Sandoval continued to ramble on while she ignored him. Ariana was channeling an iceberg.

Afterward, Scheana, who had been drinking, sat down for a chat with Katie. Katie told Scheana what Schwartz said about kissing her.

“What happened was, me and Ariana were there with my mom and my sister for her cheer competition in like f*cking high school. And Schwartz pulls me in the corner and kisses me,” Scheana explained. When Katie asked when this happened, Scheana said she was newly engaged to Mike Shay. So that dates this make-out sesh to 2013.

Still, Scheana denied it was a make-out. But she copped to making out with Ariana. Pretty soon I’m going to need charts and graphs to keep up with this group.

“I wanted to pretend like this never happened,” Scheana said. She never told a soul. Katie explained that she trusted Scheana, so why wouldn’t she ever tell her? But Scheana countered that she wanted the couple to work out. It blows Katie’s mind that her bridesmaid kept a secret like this from her. How can she continue to trust Scheana?

Sandoval was careless

Katie and Ariana went to Something About Her, where Penny, their chef consultant, was prepping. While permits are holding up the shop’s opening, they have forged ahead with their sandwich menu.

The group, minus Sandoval, arrived for a tasting. Lala was bored since she already did this last summer. But when Schwartz advocated for a manly sandwich, James quipped, “We all know Tom likes a sloppy Jo, right?” Oof.

The gang then headed to SUR. Lala told Ariana that she was at her house and that she had a deep conversation with Sandoval. Ariana wasn’t buying it, and she had other problems on her mind.

“The reason I wasn’t at my house was because I was at the emergency vet because he was so insanely irresponsible with my dog, she had to have an endoscopy,” Ariana stated. She explained that Sandoval shut Mya in Ariana’s room with her take-out from the night before. She ate wooden skewers, and after all the testing, the bill was $6,000. Mya will be okay, but this wasn’t the first time he was careless with Ariana’s dogs.

In Sandoval’s version of events, he had to close some vents in the main bedroom because of an air conditioning problem. The door was somehow left open, and their dog, Mya, “ate some weird stuff.” Of course, Ariana was furious. But Sandoval believed it was an accident. I’m with Ariana, dude. Not cool, no matter how it happened.

Brock spills a secret

Brock has some news for Schwartz. Remember Max Boyens? He was the former manager at TomTom and Schwartz’s good friend. Well, Max and Katie apparently hooked up. Schwartz called it “a revenge bang.”

Then Sandoval and Tii stopped by after bowling. When Sandoval stepped away, Scheana and Ariana approached the bar. Brock introduced them, and Ariana asked Tii’s age. Upon hearing that she was 25, Ariana responded, “That makes sense.” Then Ariana advised Tii, “Don’t waste your time with a 41-year-old narcissist.”

Then Scheana dragged Brock for telling Schwartz about Katie and Max. Back at the table, Brock informed Katie that he told Schwartz.

Katie seemed confused, then said that Max came over and they hung out. But Scheana checked Max’s location the next morning, and he was still at Katie’s house. Everyone was floored that Katie would sleep with Schwartz’s best buddy. But did she, or didn’t she?
