Lindsay Hubbard’s life has done a complete 180 in a year. During the last season of Summer House, she dealt with the breakdown of her engagement to Carl Radke. Now, she’s seemingly in a happy new relationship and pregnant with her first child. As Paige DeSorbo predicted, the breakup was secretly the best thing to happen to her, whether she knew it or not.
Despite being pregnant, Lindsay wasn’t going to miss a summer of sending it in the Hamptons. Both she and Carl returned to the show to film its upcoming Season 9. There’s bound to be some tension lingering between the two exes, who didn’t end things on a positive note. As summer comes to an end, Lindsay is teasing fans about what they can expect between her and Carl next season.

Lindsay acknowledged in an interview with Us Weekly that her dynamic of becoming coworkers/weekend roommates with Carl after their split is anything but normal. “There’s a little drama because you don’t just act like everything is fine and nothing happened,” she said. “There are past and residual feelings that come up that you need to address … but for the most part, I think it’s been OK.” Outside of real-life tension, it also makes sense in the continuation of their Summer House story.
Even though there have been a few bumps in the road, Lindsay said it’s not that awkward for her to reacclimate to spending summers with Carl. “I’ve known him for 100 million years. We’ve done the show together, we’ve been on every season together,” Lindsay said. “There was a life that we had before we were romantic, and I don’t know if we’ll ever get back to a friendship, truthfully. I can’t tell you that at this point, but I’m not uncomfortable around him.” As for Carl’s comfortability with cohabitating with his now pregnant ex-fiance, Lindsay said it’s “not [her] issue” to worry about. Bring on Season 9, please.
TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT LINDSAY AND CARL BOTH RETURNED TO SUMMER HOUSE SEASON 9? HOW DO YOU THINK THEIR DYNAMIC WILL BE IN THE HOUSE NEXT SEASON?
As if there hasn’t been enough of it, there is more drama coming out of Love Island USA. Both the contestants and host Ariana Madix have faced criticism from fans. But now that criticism is coming from inside the house as cast member Daia McGhee calls out Ariana for playing favorites.
Daia has taken issue with how Ariana handled the Season 6 Love Island USA reunion.
Fan account Love Island Pit Stop captured a screen recording of Daia’s comments and posted it to TikTok. The clip has just over 192K views and almost 2,500 comments.
In the clip, Daia recalls what went down at the infamous fire pit scene, when the cast debated on whether or not Leah Kateb or Liv Walker were responsible for Andrea Carmona going home.
According to Daia, Ariana asked the cast to raise their hands for who they thought was responsible for the elimination. When no one raised their hands, Daia claimed that Ariana asked again.
After receiving the same response, the Vanderpump Rules star stated that she was treated “way worse” in her experience on reality TV. She then added that the cast had to “just get over it.”
Daia stated in her video, “Respectfully, as a host you don’t say your experience was way worse than what we are going through because at the end of the day, Love Island’s numbers did way bigger.”
“I just feel like as a host of the show it’s your job to not pick favorites,” Daia added. “It’s your job to just be the mediator in the situation. It’s your job to ask the questions that people actually want to see.”
Not everyone on the cast shared Daia’s sentiments about Ariana. And if they did, it didn’t stop them from going to see Ariana’s Broadway performance in Chicago after the reunion.
Daia, who was eliminated from the villa on day 24, did not attend.

One reason Below Deck Mediterranean has been such a massive hit is because of the boatmances. Season 8 has been no different, thanks to two excitable deckhands. Gael Cameron came onto the boat with a boyfriend, but quite quickly, she seemed to forget about her dating status as she locked eyes with Nathan Gallagher. Both have been inseparable since the charters started, but is it true love? Yes, Gael broke up with her beau, and Nathan took the blame for a work mistake, but was this just puppy love or something more tangible?
Can a boatmance really ever work out?
After meeting Gael, it was evident that Nathan would not live by the bro code. The Irishman was smitten, leaving him no choice but to pursue her. Viewers watched as they tried to steal moments or kisses while the cameras weren’t looking. But out of all the romances we’ve seen, this one feels just a tiny bit different.
On the July 8th episode of Watch What Happens Live Nathan and Joe Bradley were welcomed to New York City by Andy Cohen. Both men had never been to the Big Apple, but they were well-received. Nathan joked, “We went to a bar for 15 minutes, and we ended up getting numbers,” Nathan said. “So, I mean, it’s going alright.” Based on the comment, it felt like Nathan may be enjoying single life, away from Gael. But nothing is one hundred percent certain, especially when it comes to love. Gael was also a guest on the late-night talk show in June, where she shared, “I think you just have to wait and see.”
The Below Deck Med deckhands give an update
As an avid viewer, there is definitely a spark between Nathan and Gael. During the Below Deck Med After Show, fans got to dive a bit deeper into their blossoming relationship. The recent episode showed Nathan asking Captain Sandy Yawn for permission to go on a date. He decided to take his new gal rock climbing even though he is terrified of heights. But Nathan admitted, “It was nice to get off the boat and interact away from the boat in a different setting.” And Gael seemed to appreciate the effort.
The Australian noted, “He knew I was in a tough place, so he said to me, ‘I think you just need to get off the boat.'” During the episode, the act seemed genuine, as Nathan didn’t really try to make moves on her. Even though she was single, Gael started to swirl in her mind sharing, “It was scary because it was just like, ‘Oh sh*t, I’m in too deep now, but this is a real thing. Is it bad that I’m kind of happy about it? Is it moving too fast?'”
Gael Cameron still cares about her ex

During the earlier episode, Gael seemed to be extremely distant from her boyfriend. He came across as controlling, and even though she tried her best to talk to him, it was never enough. The deckie was always excluding herself from conversations to text, and it was noticeable that she wasn’t happy. Gael seemed happy to be asked out by Nathan, who revealed, “Yes, I wanted to go. But, internally, I was still just out of a relationship, and I’m like, ‘Wow, this is moving really fast.'”
Sadly, watching Gael move on hasn’t been a walk in the park for her ex. Gael revealed, “This will be really sh*t for my ex to watch …There’s no coming back from this.” However, Gael was more at ease after her rock climbing adventure. In her confessional, Gael basically shouted her happiness from the rooftop, saying, “Right now I’m like, ‘Yeah, f*ck it. Screw it. I’m gonna do stuff that makes me happy.’ It’s nice and I like him. Oh, did I just say that?”
While there haven’t been any clear-cut clues about their current relationship status, fans are hoping that this boatman works out. Gael gave viewers some hope as she lamented “Me and Nathan get along, and we have a lot of fun together. It couldn’t have gone bad.”

We have good news and bad news. The good news is that The Anonymous returned with a brand-new episode this week. The bad news is that moving forward, we’re only going to get one episode each week. That three-episode premiere spoiled us, and now we’re going to have to wait on the edge of our seats each week to see what happens next. The horror!
Alas, in The Anonymous Episode 4, “New Handle, New Me,” we picked up right where we left off last week, with a handful of players up for nomination and the power of The Anonymous up for grabs.
Thanks to Xavier and his alliance, Tyrenna had the biggest target on her back, and her only hope for survival was gaining the power of Anonymous. Here’s how it all shook out in Episode 4.
The Anonymous strikes again
Photo Credit: Rico Torres/USA Network
Within the first moments of the episode. DANI had all of the players on edge waiting to see who The Anonymous chose to eliminate. Unfortunately, the axe dropped on Tyrenna, and she became the third player eliminated from the game. Xavier’s plan worked.
Then, it’s revealed that Xavier was the one who ended up winning the power of The Anonymous. He got to see his plan through to the end, all while lying straight to Tyrenna’s face.
In his hideout, Xavier justified the backstabbing move by saying that Tyrenna “sporadically” shared information with other players. Did the cameras forget to capture that, Xavier? Watching from home, it just kind of seems like they targeted the nicest player.
Back at the dial, Tyrenna revealed that she was playing as the Truck, which should have made everybody feel silly. They were all convinced that she was the Dice, which let Robbi skate through another episode unscathed. Either way, Tyrenna left in good spirits.
“Be glad you got rid of me early because I was going to be running all of ya’ll,” she said with a laugh.
Nina’s cover is blown

After the elimination, the players all went to their separate corners and started talking strategy. That’s when Jack shared a game-changing bit of information with Xavier. He tipped him off on the fact that Nina looks suspiciously similar to Survivor legend Sandra Diaz-Twine.
At that moment, you could see it all click for Xavier. He practically soiled himself when he realized that he had been playing this game alongside Sandra’s daughter. Xavier immediately took the information and started seeing Nina through a new, threatening lens.
Meanwhile, Jack said in his confessional that he planned to keep Nina as a close ally, thus putting Nina in a sticky situation. She has one person gunning for her because of who she is and another trying to take advantage of her. The bottom line is that Nina needs to watch her back.
A handle refresh shakes up the game

As if this game hadn’t been confusing enough, DANI tells the players that they’re going to get new handles. She also warns them that this can happen at any point throughout the game. This is great news for some players and terrifying for others. Regardless, DANI makes the rules, so the players were forced to go to their hideouts to create new handles. Here are the updated players:
Dillan: Popsicle
Christopher: Lipstick
Nina: Fire
Andy: Lightning
Marcel: Snake
Xavier: Scissors
Jack: Flamingo
Lilly: Robot
Robbi: Rocket
Sounds good, right? Wrong. DANI drops another bomb. Suddenly, there are 12 avatars in the chat. What does it mean? It’s time to welcome three new players into the game! Sydney, Kacie, and Tyrenna are yesterday’s news. Now, it’s time for Wayne, Bismah, and Victoria. Let’s meet them.
Bismah aka Eagle: A political lobbyist who lies and tells the other players that she’s a real estate marketer
Wayne aka Lightbulb: A former police detective who lies and says he’s a janitor
Victora aka Cactus: A travel blogger who is ready to flirt her way through the competition. Little does she know, someone already tried that this season and it didn’t work.
There’s a showmance blossoming

With a flirty new player in the game, Christopher immediately flocked to her like a moth to a flame. Within minutes, these two were making small talk like they were on Love Island or something. You could tell Victoria was just living for the attention. It was also a good distraction for Chris, who had previously been spending his days complaining to the house about his disdain for Dillian.
According to Chris, Dillian wasn’t contributing enough to the prize pot, so he started gunning for him to get kicked out of the competition. Elsewhere in the house, Dillian made it known that he wasn’t a huge fan of Chris either.
As a reality TV veteran, Nina saw all of this happening and recognized an opportunity to start some mess. Bless her for that. She told Dillian that Chris had been gunning for him, and thus, the seeds were planted for a fight, but first, a challenge.
160 pounds of puzzle

For the third challenge, DANI had the players split into three teams, chosen by the newbies. They also learned that the new players would be safe from elimination. Plus, if they won the challenge, they would get to share their immunity with a teammate. Those are some serious stakes, DANI!
This challenge seemed nearly impossible when watching it from home. DANI had them assemble a puzzle, but the puzzle had to weigh exactly 160 pounds. Who the hell comes up with this stuff?
While some folks were fighting to win, others were just fighting to make themselves look relevant in the game. For example, Dillian and Andy needed to prove that they could contribute to the prize pot. Unfortunately, that still didn’t happen.
The winning team turned out to be Bismah’s team, thanks to Jack. He immediately saw the solution to the puzzle and guided their team to victory. And since he was such a big asset to the team, Bismah awarded him the immunity. Seems fair, right? Not to Lilly.
When Bismah announced Jack as the recipient of the immunity, Lilly about lost her mind. She had a full-on temper tantrum. After being up for elimination literally every single day, she really wanted a break, even if she didn’t earn it. She said, “I’m madder than a hornet!”
An Anonymous Mode takedown

Later that night in Anonymous Mode, the players were ready to break in their new handles. With a clean slate, the players wasted no time getting messy. Immediately, Dillian felt ready to shake the table and wrote, “Robbi, you’re going up tonight.”
With that in the chat, Jack decided to shine a light on Victoria and Christopher. Feeling threatened by their showmance, he wanted to get other players against them. It worked, and everyone joined suit and started dragging them. Welcome to The Anonymous, Victoria!
Victoria didn’t know how to navigate all of the heat on her. She genuinely seemed surprised that people were throwing her name around in the chat. So, in an attempt to throw people off her scent, she wrote in the chat, “Chris tonight, Victoria tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, Wayne the Lightbulb didn’t say anything throughout the entire chat. This newbie perhaps had the smartest strategy. he just sat there quietly, collecting “intel.” Why pop off in the chat and risk outing your identity?
During the final stretch of the episode, DANI challenged the players to nominate someone for elimination. Of course, this is always when things get interesting.
As promised in the chat, Dillian aka Popsicle voted for Robbi to go home. Four people voted for Christopher to go home, which shouldn’t have been too much of a surprise. Bismah and Robbie both voted for Xavier. Bismah’s reasoning was so real. She was like, “He won Big Brother. He’s a threat, and he needs to go.” Finally, someone is saying it!
Andy got a few votes like he always does, but the most surprising nominations came from Chris and Lilly. They put Nina up for elimination, which seemed out of left field. Chris said he was just trying to throw people off his scent, but with her ties to Survivor being whispered about in the house, this doesn’t look good.
Dillian finally popped off

After the nominations, Victoria was sitting around sulking and confused about why people were coming for her in the chat. Then, Dillian popped up out of nowhere and tried to give her some perspective, all while reading Chris. Cue the most epic takedown we’ll probably see on this show.
“You’re associating yourself with people who are loud and obnoxious in this game,” Dillian explained to Victoria, before completely dragging Christopher.
Meanwhile, Christopher acted like he hadn’t been campaigning against Dillian. However, Dillian aka Popsicle aka the Phaedra Parks of The Anonymous wasn’t having it. He popped off on Christopher in a feisty moment of reality TV excellence. He called Christopher a handful of things, including “unfunny, loud, and country as hell.”
Meanwhile, Christopher, Victoria, and Lilly were sitting there with their mouths agape. They had no idea how to react to Dillian and were completely dumbfounded.
“If I do get the Anonymous tonight, you will be walking out. Don’t play with me,” Dillian concluded, before strutting out of the room in perfect rhythm.
With that epic takedown out of the way, DANI summoned the players back to their hideouts to complete “the test.” Who remained the most anonymous with their new handles and will get to vote out one of the nominated players?
Of course, it won’t be revealed until the next episode who won the power to eliminate, but DANI teased that it was either Victoria or Jack. If Jack won the power for a third time, let’s just call it quits and give him the grand prize now.
Next week. we’ll find out which of the nominated players got the chop from The Anonymous and what other twists DANI plans on throwing at these players.
The Anonymous continues on USA Network on Monday nights at 11/10c.

Erika Jayne’s previous relationship with Tom Girardi faced a great deal of scrutiny. From the outside looking in, it seemed like the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was a gold digger, plain and simple. Of course, any relationship is more complicated than that.
But Tom’s later legal controversies certainly didn’t help the optics. Tom faced accusations of wire fraud and stealing from his clients. To this day, commentators debate the extent to which Erika involved herself in Tom’s business dealings.
Much to Erika’s relief, a judge determined she didn’t know about Tom’s business dealings. Even if that assessment is true, Erika certainly knew of Tom’s other less-than-moral dealings.
Erika Jayne says she turned a “blind eye” to Tom Girardi’s infidelity
Erika recently appeared on the August 23 episode of Two Ts In A Pod. While cohosting for the first time, the Beverly Hills star looked back on her relationship with Tom. She admitted to turning a “blind eye” to Tom’s behavior in many instances – including his cheating – all to preserve an image of perfection in her private and public life.
“You start ignoring the snide comments or you start ignoring the fights,” she said. “You just kind of want to keep the peace. I don’t know if that’s turning a blind eye. I mean, in some cases, sure. I definitely looked the other way when I knew Tom had other women in his life just because I didn’t feel like dealing with it.”
Nevertheless, over time, her “indifference” became “contempt,” and, “when you have contempt in a relationship, it’s over,” according to Erika. She further explained, “I do believe that there was a lot of contempt in my relationship from both parties at the end.”
However, it was more complicated than that. As Erika further laid out: “Because I often felt like my marriage was pushed to the side, and it wasn’t real. And there’s no possible way you could love this man [but] actually, I did.” Anonymous sources confirmed Tom’s alleged infidelity. As if the couple didn’t have enough reasons to split in the first place.
If you need a refresher on Bravo programming, we have you covered. Here is what you have to look forward to in the Bravoverse this fall.
Real Housewives of New York – October 1
Season 15 of Real Housewives of New York will premiere on Bravo on Tuesday, October 1 at 9 p.m. EST. The teaser trailer for the upcoming season was released on August 13. The trailer introduced new Housewife Racquel Chevremont and new “friend of” Rebecca Minkoff. The three-minute video promised blowup fights, marital woes, and nasty rumors.
“Last season, we were the hot freshman. It was fun. Now, it’s like, we’re Housewives, honey. It’s New York, it’s intense, it’s spicy, but it’s fun,” she said.
She also shared that Jenna Lyons and Erin Lichy are “wild” this season, bestowing the title of MVP of the season to the two ladies.
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City – September 18
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City returns for its 5th season on Wednesday, September 18 at 9 p.m. EST. The trailer released on Tuesday got fans pumped for the new season. The three-minute teaser was chock-full of drama. Heather Gay sparred with newbie Bronwyn Newport, Meredith Marks, and Mary Cosby hit a friendship roadblock, and Lisa Barlow’s feud with Whitney Rose continued.
In addition to Bronwyn, there are two new “friend of” cast members this season. Meili Workman is a model and a mother of four. According to her Bravo Bio, she moved from California to Utah because of her involvement with the LDS church. However, she has since left the church. Britani Bateman is a real estate developer, singer, and actress. She was introduced to the group through Heather. According to her Bio, she’s a practicing Mormon and a Utah native.
Watch What Happens Live – Ongoing
Andy Cohen’s late-night talk show Watch What Happens Live will continue airing this fall. Fans can expect to see some RHONY and RHOSLC Housewives stop by the Clubhouse to share their behind-the-scenes takes on the current season drama.
Andy celebrated 15 years on air this summer. He reminisced on some of his greatest interview successes and failures in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. He revealed he regrets asking Oprah Winfrey if she has ever been with a woman.
“That’s probably one of my few regrets,” he told the outlet. “It meant so much to me that Oprah Winfrey did the show…It’s gone brilliantly and I turn around and ask her if she’s ever had sex with a woman. I mean, couldn’t I leave it alone?”
He also shared the Broadway legend Patti LuPone is one of his favorite Clubhouse regulars.
“I mean, Patti LuPone has no F’s to give so she is the perfect clubhouse guest,” he said. “She’s been here many times.”
Shows that may return this fall…
There are a few Bravo shows whose premiere dates are still a mystery.
Below Deck: Sailing Yacht
One of them is Below Deck: Sailing Yacht. Season 4 of the popular spinoff wrapped in June 2023 and the network announced the show was renewed at BravoCon in 2023. Many fans assumed the show would return in the summer of 2024 but there has been little news about the new season. Given it’s been a year since Season 4, we’re hoping the show returns in the fall. We’ll have to wait and see.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Season 14 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is still a mystery. Bravo has not revealed a premiere date for the upcoming season. However, we know it will return. Season 13 premiered in October last year, so we may see a fall premiere date for the new season.
“I think that there’s a lot of us that are going through many tumultuous things in our lives,” she told the outlet.
Southern Charm
Bravo has yet to release a premiere date for Season 10 of Southern Charm. In the past, premiere dates for the series have ranged from early spring to late fall. It is unclear when the new season will premiere but it could be sometime this fall.
TELL US – ARE YOU EXCITED FOR BRAVO FALL? WHICH SHOW ARE YOU MOST EXCITED FOR?
I never knew how much I missed watching one high-pitched teacher yell at tiny prima ballerinas. But it turns out I needed Dance Moms: A New Era more than I knew. However, I could do without the overzealous mothers who are living vicariously through their daughters. I thought the original series was bad, but the Hulu reboot highlighted just how crazy (Yes, Tammi, I am using the term crazy) some mama bears can act. If anything, I would suggest that the moms attend an etiquette class before filming again because their kids are going to need a lot of therapy at this rate. Each one was more horrific than the next, leaving me to think the show should have been called Stage Mothers in the Wild.
Domenica is an esthetician with two daughters — one in dance and one in gymnastics. She was the “young” mom who felt she was cooler than the rest because she always wore a crop top and had her hair done. Domenica genuinely felt that her proximity to Tammi would gain Smiley solos and opportunities, but it didn’t. She rarely could keep her cool and often cried in front of her daughter. Smiley was finally given a duet but was taken out for lack of chemistry. Naturally, any mother would have been upset, but Domenica’s weird comment regarding Lilly and Smiley “looking like lesbian twins” didn’t sit well with viewers. I think Domenica’s mean-girl attitude should have been talked about way more than it was.
Smile was collateral damage as it felt like Domenica was the one who wanted to be the real star. Smiley started dancing to correct her pigeon toes but she was seen as the pretty face of the group. I can’t help but wonder where she got that notion from. I didn’t like how the mother of two came across as so entitled. Domenica was hard to like and I have to rate her the worst of the group.
Okay, I’ll be straight with you. The only reason Roxce isn’t at the top of this pyramid is that Bellatrix has talent. However, her mother’s bullying tendencies often overshadowed her talent. Bella has been working with Ms. Glow since the age of five and she knew how to perform. But so did Roxce, just not in the good way that wins trophies. It was blatantly obvious that Roxce was a dedicated dance mom who liked to kick ass rather than make friends. Hulu cameras caught Roxce screaming at other moms and entering their personal space.
She was way too aggressive and confrontational. The cherry on top for me was watching Roxce storm into the Nationals rehearsal crying about how her daughter was “dying” first in the dance. Poor Belly looked so uncomfortable and embarrassed.
Lisa was the mother who was walked all over by her daughter. Ashlan was a brat who literally would yell at her mother for using a blending sponge wrong. Even though Ashlan had raw talent, she needed to be reprimanded for her bad attitude way too much. Honestly, Lisa just looked like she had a beaten-down mother who was tired of being a parent. I mean, who would enjoy being yelled out daily by a mini-tyrant? Lisa clearly gave her the world and spent hours driving Ashlan to and from dance; she sewed costumes and sat for hours in the dance studio. Ashlan was a tiny dancer monster because Lisa never corrected her behavior so she only had herself to blame.
By the end of the season, Tammi and Audrey were not Ms. Glo’s favorites anymore. Even though Audrey danced on Broadway in The Music Man next to Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman, she turned into a real meanie in the end. It probably didn’t help that Tammi often broke down in front of her daughter whenever the women were mean to her. Tammi had a few moments when she lost her cool, but she had a nice streak. If the fights got too bad between the moms, she would try to distract the children with a game.
4. Corrine

Corrine seemed like a pretty down-to-earth dance mom, but then she opened her mouth. The first two episodes painted Corrine as a major instigator and stirrer of the pot. As a viewer, I didn’t love how obsessed Corrine was with bringing the other dancers down. What mother has the time to dig into a kid’s competition record from last year to start drama? But once Corrine realized that tearing the other children down wasn’t a good look, she improved in my book. She took a back seat and just let her daughter dance.
Min was all about making her daughter, Mina, into the best she could be. She was a dance mother who wanted to ensure Mina didn’t rest on her laurels and surpassed everyone in the class. But with such passion, Min sometimes came off as cold. For fans, it was heartbreaking to learn she had lost her son in a tragic accident and never told her parents in China about it. Min often gave off Tiger Mom vibes. The only moment I wasn’t thrilled with Min was when she talked about taking away Mina’s beloved teddy bear. She kept telling the other moms that making her sad would make her daughter dance better, but it just didn’t seem kind. However, Min won me over thanks to her quote, “Jing and Tammi are both dumb bitch.”
2. Jing

Gina was a great dancer, and all the other moms knew it. However, that didn’t make it okay to attack Gina and Jing repeatedly due to their insecurities. After getting a call from Ms. Glo, Jing did what any other mother would have done. She packed her daughter’s dance bag and showed up at the studio because opportunity waits for no one. There were moments, however, when it felt like Jing was making chaos for the sake of chaos, thanks to her cheesy lines. Even the dancers took a page from their mother’s burn book. The way that Audrey was directly challenging and antagonizing Gina was so hard to watch.
Leslie, in my opinion, was the most down-to-earth and rarely found herself in a skirmish. She was an extremely busy working mother who had three kids to take off. Leilah was a good dancer and had passion, but she was also a kid who wanted to play. I wonder if Leslie even knew what she signed up for with Dance Moms: A New Era because the rest of the women were thirsty. Leslie epitomizes a “Won’t start; none won’t be none” mentality. And honestly, it was a breath of fresh air.

90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 6 is finally in full swing. With new couples, diverse cultures, and fresh drama, Season 6 is already going strong. This season love has no limits, and truly knows no borders. With two returning couples and four new ones, there’s something for everyone this season.
Season 6 highlights a mix of relationships. Each couple faces different struggles, such as language barriers, culture shocks, and impulsive moves. While some of the Americans seem content with their decision to move abroad, others do not. While all six couples this season are somewhat chaotic, some are more so than others. Here is our official ranking of The Other Way Season 6 couples, from the most solid to WTF!
Joanne and Sean – The Most Solid

Joanne and Sean are the most stable couple on Season 6 so far, despite limited screen time. Joanne is a mother of two kids, she was married for 11 years, and after she divorced. She and Sean met through Joanne’s psychic medium business when he requested a reading. Sean, on the other hand, is a mixed martial arts fighter from Drogheda, Ireland.
After Joanne found it hard to read Sean, she became more intrigued by him. Joanne and Sean had an instant connection and immediately fell for each other. However, their relationship has a big secret. Joanne is worried because she doesn’t tell anyone that they are already married. Despite this being a little strange, Joanne and Sean’s love is what ultimately led them to elope. Apart from their secret, Joanne and Sean don’t have any drama, so their relationship will likely last.
Shekinah and Sarper – Pretty Solid

Despite facing a few difficulties, Shekinah Garner and Sarper Guven are Season 6’s second most solid couple. After making their debut on The Other Way Season 5, Shekinah and Sarper reunited in Turkey during Season 6. Shekinah has applied for Sarper’s K1 visa to come to the United States but is waiting with him in Turkey until it’s approved.
Shekinah and Sarper are controversial among 90 Day Fiancé fans, in part because Sarper brags about sleeping with 2500 women. Nonetheless, he and Shekinah make an amazing team. The couple compliments each other well, and it’s evident that they truly love one another. Shekinah and Sarper are head over heels in love, and it would be a shock if their relationship doesn’t make it.
Corona and Ingi – Somewhat Solid

Corona Blakey and Ingi Hilmar are an interesting couple this season, who may or may not make it. Corona met Ingi at a party, and the rest was history. Ingi has had his fair share of women but explained that he’s never really been in a serious relationship. Corona has decided to move to Ingi’s home country of Iceland to make their relationship work and even gave up a spot in a prestigious midwifery program to do so. This could end up being a problem down the road, however, since Corona wants to get engaged, Ingi is not ready to do so.
As soon as Corona landed in Iceland, things started to go south. While Corona was pleased that Ingi brought her flowers, she felt their reunion wasn’t passionate enough. Furthermore, Corona feels worried about meeting Ingi’s family, as they have probably never met a person of color. Corona and Ingi seem to have a strong bond, but they are already facing many obstacles early on.
Statler and Dempsey – So So
Photo Credit: TLC via YouTube
Statler Riley and Dempsey Wilkinson are one of the rockier couples this season. After purchasing a camper van together, Statler decided to move to Europe to hit the road with Dempsey. However, before she left the States, Statler expressed concerns over finances. Statler was frustrated that she’d be working while Dempsey would have time to explore due to quitting her job.
After picking up Statler at the airport, Dempsey immediately noticed that she didn’t seem happy to be there. It’s strange that Statler wasn’t more enthusiastic to see Dempsey again, which points to trouble brewing in their relationship. Between disagreements over finances and Statler’s confusing attitude, this couple’s journey on Season 6 may not end smoothly. However, if the women can get on the same page, they may be able to work things out.

Josh and Lily met while using a language learning app, and later got married on a whim, Josh quit his job to move to China and start a life with Lily, which he felt bad about. After Josh got his Chinese visa, he was surprised to learn that he wouldn’t be able to work there for at least five years. As Lily pointed out, this puts a lot of pressure on her to provide financially. However, Lily is not frugal by any means and even has an elevator in her home.
Before he left for China, Josh admitted that he wasn’t sure why Lily would want to support someone like him. Josh joked that he is “no George Clooney”, and explained that he worries Lily might wake up one day and not want to be with him. On the other hand, Lily constantly annoys Josh by reminding him how much money she spends. Josh and Lily’s relationship isn’t on a good track, as they both seem to have a lot of doubts and concerns about it. It will be interesting to see how long Josh and Lily can keep their current arrangement going.

James Solis and Meitalia Tantri Solis’s marriage is all over the place, and so is their storyline in Season 6. The couple met online, and Meitalia later moved to the United States to marry James. However, after two years of living there, Meitalia was unhappy and wanted to return home to Indonesia. James agreed to move with her, which meant giving up his part in his family business. At the same time, however, James has been lying to Meitalia about wanting to have children.
Unfortunately for James and Meitalia, their move to Indonesia has been a disaster. Meitalia revealed that her father probably wouldn’t pay James for working for him, leaving them with no source of income. To make matters worse, the couple still has a hefty car payment in America. James and Meitalia don’t communicate well, and there is a huge disconnect between them. It will be a miracle if their relationship can survive their impromptu move to Indonesia.
