After a pretty snoozy episode last week, the Real Housewives of Orange County ladies are back. In typical California fashion, the group decided to head off to the wine country, where nothing could possibly go wrong from drinking too much. Heather is hosting a fundraising event with Family Equality and is crossing all her fingers that it goes well. In this week’s episode, “A Picture Worth a Thousand Words,” Jen finally has a court date set to determine her financial future, which will hopefully tame Emily from any more verbal attacks.

One thing that I don’t think is pointed out enough is the fact that Heather is an avid supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. This episode opens up a little differently as cameras catch Heather at home with three out of her four children. She has one child who is bi-sexual, one who is a lesbian, and one who is transgender. While the RHOC is mostly about petty drama, the rights that Heather is working so hard to protect are far from petty. Heather and Terry both opened up about Ace needing a fresh start in Beverly Hills. Heather noted, “If your child deviates from the norm, it’s a rough road.”
I liked how Heather doesn’t aim to tell her children’s stories for them. She loves them and supports them, and it’s honorable to see. That is why her charity event with Family Equality was so important to feature on the franchise. Heather’s main mission is to support other families who don’t have the same support as her family does.
Jen Pedranti’s moment of truth

Finally, Jen is getting her moment in court with her ex, Will. Progress, after all this time, must feel amazing to her. However, shortly after her mediation call with Will, she broke down, telling Katie, “I don’t think I can do all this.” Leaving a rich husband is heavy, and Jen feels the weight. After her court hearing, she tells Tamra that it did not go well. In her confessional, Jen notes, “Divorce sucks.” It turns out that the last time they were in this courthouse, they were adopting their son in 2019. According to Jen, they were “So United. So bonded. Now, Will doesn’t look at me.” Jen then reveals she was given $6,000 a month for the five children, noting that it was “Not the same way they lived before.” Leave it to Tamra to stick her two cents in as she says it “feels like she will rely on Ryan and not get a job.”

Bless Heather for trying to keep Alexis and Shannon apart on the private jet. But leave it to Shannon to have a Mr. Magoo moment as she breaks her bag, stuffing it with makeup and Spanx. The flight was smooth enough, but Shannon couldn’t help herself when she commented on a recent photo of John. Under her breath, Shannon grumbled, “Glad he’s still wearing Ferragamo.” The comment was in response to John and Alexis’ Oscar’s photo from the night before.
Evidently, he didn’t know what a designer was until he met her. Obviously, now would be a perfect moment for turbulence, but no such luck. Instead, Tamra calls down the rows to confirm with Alexis that John is in fact, wearing the $400 shoes.
The Shannon Beador video is a ticking time bomb

Alexis is still pretending to want to be friends with Nine Lemons Beador. Even though we all can admit Shannon broke the law and had a lapse in judgment, I just don’t see how blackmailing her with Ring footage is going to be good. Gina seems to agree with me as she “accidentally” drops the bomb in front of Shannon. Luckily, Shannon is saved by the bell when her lawyer calls. It turns out that John didn’t accept the offer of around $35,000, and Shannon refused to go up one more penny.
Shannon makes a valid point through her tears of desperation: “Why do you want to hurt someone so badly when you’re allegedly so happy?” But finally, the news of the Ring video has landed, and Shannon is horrified. Katie tells Shannon that Alexis told everyone they have videos of her allegedly almost running over his daughter. All Shannon can say is, “He’s a monster.” And I have to say I agree, but also, don’t drink and drive kids!
It felt like Shannon was on the verge of saying something, but she stopped herself. Luckily, Shannon, even though physically shaking, has the wherewithal to call her lawyer back, telling him, “Pay him whatever he wants.” Shannon is wiped out. And it’s heartbreaking to watch. But Emily comforts her, saying, “Sometimes you write a check for your mental health.” And sometimes you write a check because you almost ran over someone’s daughter.

Emily is a lot of things, but as a viewer, I am thankful she is trying to talk sense to Alexis. The taco lover is holding out hope that Jesus Jugs will be reasonable. But hell really needs to freeze over because Alexis is riding hard for Johnny J.
Shannon is on the brink of losing it and decides to confide in Heather. The conversation is touching and raw. After explaining to Heather that she agreed to pay John, Shannon shares that she had no idea about the blackmail video. Shannon says she isn’t lying about John, claiming, “I told the truth. I did pay for stuff. He wants everyone to think he’s a good guy. I know the truth.” That is when the information spills out of the Real for Real founder, who finally admits she doesn’t think John ever cared about her.
“That night, I lost control of the car, and I hit the corner—a planter. And then I went unconscious, and I woke up in the hospital. My very good friend called me about ten days after, and he said ‘how many seconds did the accident happen after you backed out of the driveway?” Now, with this, Heather and I are hooked on every word. Shannon goes on, “I said three to five seconds max. And he said, ‘Well, I find it strange that John didn’t come running after you.’” Heather then asks if Shannon truly believes that John didn’t hear the crash, to which she says, “I don’t know.” But what Shannon does know is she sent a photo directly after the crash to John, which was around midnight. And he didn’t respond until 1:40 a.m. John ignored the photo and seemingly “went to bed.” Shannon was left bruised, ignored, and with a DUI.
Christine Brown from Sister Wives shares her wisdom with all women who feel “stuck” — it’s never too late. And she would know. It’s been three years since her split from Kody Brown and she’s doing better than ever.
Anyone who has seen the drama unfold on Sister Wives knows that Christine has an idea of what it feels like to be “stuck.” And while starting over is never easy, it can absolutely be worth it.
Christine shared her message on social media. In a video she discussed what she felt like trapped in a no-win situation, alluding to her marriage with Kody. In the video, she commiserated with women feeling trapped and reminded them that they were not alone.
Alongside the clip, she added words of encouragement in the caption.
“Extra vulnerable post here, but I am speaking to the women who felt like I did — tapped, stuck, and afraid there’s no way out,” she shared. “I want you to know that you are not alone. I’ve been there. And I want to encourage you to find ways to choose joy, even when fear tells you to stay where you are.”
She added, “It’s not easy, but there is a path to happiness, and it’s worth every step. You deserve a life filled with love, peace, and joy. Never settle for less.”
In her video, Christine emphasized feeling like she was stuck in a life that wasn’t what she had in mind. She also admitted that the only one who could change that was herself. And she realized she was making decisions based on fear.
She encouraged followers that it was important to make decisions based on joy instead. “It’s time to make decisions based on hope,” she shared. “There is hope. It’s a brighter future. There are answers and I believe in you.”
It was a hopeful message and many fans commented saying that she was inspiring them and it was exactly what they needed to hear. One commenter told her to never stop sharing because she was always inspiring someone with her story.
Christine left Kody in November 2021 after 25 years. She eventually met David Woolley and married him in 2023.

Phaedra Parks always looks so glamorous! And the glam worked in her favor during her time on The Traitors, with makeup helping her stay in the game.
While the Real Housewives of Atlanta comeback queen ultimately did not win the season, she did manage to hang on. And she looked flawless her entire time there.
During season 2 of the hit Peacock show, Phaedra was tapped as a Traitor. It was her mission to trick the Faithfuls. They had to believe she was one of them so that she and her fellow Traitors could steal the prize money and emerge victorious.
The game works with players voting to banish someone from the day at the end of each day. They attempt to banish a Traitor so that by the end only Faithfuls remain. At night, when everyone goes to bed, the Traitors come out to play to decide who to “murder” (i.e. send home).
Phaedra outlasted some of her fellow Traitors. She told PEOPLE that her survival was largely thanks to a makeup hack that she used during her stay.
She explained that fellow players began to suspect that whoever looked tired in the morning was probably a Traitor since they were up all night planning their devious deeds. So they looked closely at everyone and she had to make sure she looked fresh and rested.
“I was like, let me make sure to get up at 4 a.m. and have my eyes concealed and look absolutely amazing,” Phaedra explained. “Because people were looking so close at everyone in the mornings. When the girls would come in, if they looked a little haggard they would say, ‘She’s got to be a Traitor. She didn’t get any sleep. Look at the bags under her eyes.’ So when they’d say that I was like, ‘Oh my God, look, I’m so rested.’”
It’s a great way to use makeup to her advantage. Phaedra recently partnered with IT Cosmetics and considers herself an “amateur makeup artist” and self-proclaimed makeup “hack girl.” She confirms she did her own makeup for her time on Traitors.
“I did that makeup every day,” Phaedra said. “I did my makeup and most of the other cast’s makeup.” Whenever the other girls asked her to do their makeup, she’d reply, “Get in my chair.”

The mystery of the disappearing laundry plagued the interior crew on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9. Who was the culprit? Was it Third Stew, Bri Muller, who spent the majority of her time in the laundry room? Or was it Second Stew, Elena Dubaich, who also helped out in the laundry room from time to time? Chief Stew Aesha Scott was on the case and had a plan to figure out who was responsible. And this left Elena feeling vindicated by the results.
Elena Dubaich says Bri Muller used her “as a scapegoat” for all of the laundry mishaps

Throughout the season, both Bri and Elena struggled in the laundry room. Elena labeled the chef’s pants incorrectly, while Bri basically lost everyone’s laundry. However, Bri didn’t take accountability, as she thought Elena might have been sabotaging her. So she wore her best Mean Girls pink polo and wrote all the supposed crimes in her laundry burn book. Aesha had enough and moved Bri to clothes only and Elena to wash rags.
As clothes continued to go missing, Elena felt like she could rest her case. Bravo’s The Daily Dish reported Elena’s feelings on laundry-gate. She said, “I kind of felt vindicated when people finally realized that it has been Bri all along. I kind of knew a little bit more about what’s actually going on with Bri because I was in laundry with her.”
Elena continued, “And also, I was in the crew mess on quite a few occasions when people were actively talking about all their things missing. Even the engineer was looking for his bed sheets! Everybody was kind of complaining about things.” The crew did complain but kept it mostly to themselves as they didn’t want Bri to get in trouble with Captain Sandy Yawn.
Believe it or not, Elena supported Bri in doing her job correctly. She said, “It’s not that I wanted Bri to fail; I just wanted people to know that it wasn’t my fault, even if I had messed up one time. I just need a moment of vindication, and then I can move on.”
In the end, Elena felt that Bri used her as the fall guy for her laundry faux pas. She concluded, “She then began to kind of use me as a scapegoat for her own mistakes. At a certain point, I […] just needed to step away.” Mystery solved.
It’s been five years since the professional dancer admitted to being “not straight” in an interview. Her self-realization not only changed the way she looks at the world but, in some cases, affected the way other people see her.
“Not about being straight or gay or bi or queer”
“Coming out is one of the most vulnerable and empowering things that you can do,” Julianne said on the Aug. 27 episode of the Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast. “It’s not about being straight or gay or bi or queer. It’s more about … I’m just learning, like, what love is, and I love people, and I don’t know what I’m attracted to, but I choose you.”
“I was starting to see people and seeing their hearts and seeing their beauty and their essence coming through in a way that I was like, wow, I love people,” the Utah native said. “I don’t know if it’s a sexual attraction or a ‘this’ attraction, but I’m just seeing people. And that was such a beautiful revelation too.”
Julianne Hough’s marriage was “what I needed at the time”
Julianne first spoke about her sexuality in a 2019 interview with Women’s Health. At the time, she recalled telling then-husband Brooks Laich, “You know I’m not straight, right?”
“He was like, ‘I’m sorry, what?’” she continued. “I was like, ‘I’m not. But I choose to be with you.'”
Sadly, Brooks and Julianne divorced three years later after almost five years of marriage. But despite its ending, the singer/actress looks back fondly at that time. She admitted to Jamie Kern Lima that her marriage to the NHL hockey player was “the greatest thing that could have happened to me at that time.”
“What I needed at that time was to reconnect to my 10-year-old self,” the Grease Live star explained. “And what did I need at 10? I really needed safety and almost, like, a father figure to come in and be that grounding force of stability. So I think a lot of our dynamic was this little girl feeling and this stability and stable man to be there. He provided such a beautiful foundation for me to be a little girl.”
Even though they’re no longer married, Brooks will always hold a special place in her heart. “We are very important, special people in each other’s lives,” she continued. “We shared a really powerful season together … I know that I also brought a lot of things to his life … It has definitely felt like a mutual respect and love and period of growth for both of us.”

The Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2 Finale, “Best Friends for Never,” has arrived. This fun, petty season consisted of switching alliances, flashing vaginas, voice notes, VIPP Beyoncé seats, stunning homes, burgeoning businesses, and new loves. It was a wild, refreshing ride for an often messy franchise. But as we sit, it is time to say goodbye, for now, hopefully (Please, Bravo people, grant us a Season 3, PLEASE). Let us now check out how these uber-rich ladies shut their season down (including the endings of a few of their relationships) via our Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2 Finale recap.
“You can’t be b*tchy and not expect to be called a b*tch” on RHODubai
Last week, the ladies headed off for a golf trip. The sun is now rising on their second day away, so as the ladies (and their men) awaken, they gather in their respective cliques for breakfast. On a 7-star overlook, Stanbury and Taleen’s men joke about their actionless night, which sees Taleen noting, “Today, we’re going to have a fun day. We’re going to Soul Beach.”
Rafael Khanoyan questions the beach call. Sergio Carrallo agrees. Stanbury asks her man why he is getting involved. “Because he is sticking up for his friend,” Taleen pointedly answers, gesturing at Stanbury.
Stanbury tells Taleen to stop inserting herself into fights. We then see a flashback of Taleen jumping into a heated debate between Lesa and Brooks, causing Lesa to read Taleen down.
In another room, Chanel and Lesa are debriefing. Lesa remains annoyed that Taleen added fuel to her fiery fight with Brooks. “None of them have worked as hard as me or have a business,” Lesa quips. The cameras cut to Brooks, reciting this line to Sara and Saba, thoroughly annoyed, as she and many others also have businesses.
At Soul Beach, Taleen confronts Lesa, causing Stanbury to say nope and exit. Taleen apologizes for interfering, but she thinks Lesa went too hard on her at their dinner. Lesa answers, “You can’t be b*tchy and not expect to be called a b*tch.”
In her confessional, Taleen talks about inventing a drinking game for every time Lesa calls her a b*tch. Back in real-time, Lesa turns to Brooks, telling Brooks that she should never have come to her business and spoken about her own. Brooks tries explaining her actions, but Chanel interjects, trying to aid Lesa.
Chaos ensues.

Sara and Saba exit. Chanel and Lesa stand up next, leaving Taleen and Brooks alone in their cabana. Taleen stretches her arms out wide, explaining that she apologized. “F*ck your apology, b*tch,” Lesa responds, walking quickly to grab her man so they can leave.
Brooks and Taleen join Chanel, Saba, and the remaining men in their cabana. Brooks asks for “no more cliquey bullsh*it” to transpire. Chanel asks, “Who’s cliquey?”
Taleen turns to Chanel, explaining that she is a part of the problem. Taleen thinks Chanel is not shutting Lesa down hard enough. Chanel disagrees, but Brooks does not. Brooks thinks Chanel changes whenever Lesa is near, as flashbacks emerge, proving their points.
“Ayan is Lesa’s puppet,” Brooks says in her confessional. She then turns herself into a hysterical, Chanel-themed Marionette puppet.
As for Chanel, she is shocked. She had no idea Brooks and Taleen felt this way. Maturely, she understands their feelings. “A monkey doesn’t see its own asshole,” she jokes as the cameras return to the pool, where those who remain are now getting along in the water.
Summer plans, a newly single Sara, and the beginnings of a crack in Lesa and Chanel’s friendship

Summer is nearing, so many of these ladies are heading out of town. Therefore, Stanbury and Chanel are throwing a “Goodbye, Dubai” party for their cast.
Sara is not sure what her summer plans will look like, as she and her son are still traumatized from their vile nanny incident. In addition, her relationship with Akin is failing. She FaceTimes him, asking him for a break so that she can focus on her child, but he hangs up on her. In her confessional, Sara says this relationship is now over.
Stanbury and her daughter, Yasmine Habib, go riding. Yasmine and Sergio are doing well these days, which pleases Stanbury greatly. Stanbury has also decided she does not want another baby yet, and Yasmine calls her decision a good one.
Chanel rings up her sister to share her Huda Beauty news. Her sister is thrilled, and Chanel cries. Hearing sweet words helped her heart, and her ticker is still struggling after hearing what Taleen and Brooks had to say.
Chanel then reveals that she called Lesa, telling her friend that Taleen and Brooks find her behaviors different when Lesa is in her presence. But according to Chanel, Lesa said, “Don’t bring that up.” Lesa thinks it makes her look like a bad friend, so she wants these statements squashed.
Chanel is now annoyed. She thinks her friendship with Lesa feels like a one-way street.
Stanbury and Chanel’s Goodbye, Dubai party arrives

In a borrowed mansion, Stanbury and Chanel begin preparing for their Goodbye, Dubai party. As their guests arrive (including Nina Ali), they take their seats on matching thrones, extending their royal hands to each approaching guest.
Sara tells the ladies she ended things with Akin, but he is still trying to fix things. She does not know what to do. I do, girl. Run.
Speaking of likely fast runners, Brooks shows up with a young piece of meat named Max. She tells the cameras there is nothing romantic going on. Her costars ask her about her 12-year-old date, as Brooks laughs, asking them to “Stop it.”
When Lesa arrives, she refuses to kiss Stanbury and Chanel’s hands, which Stanbury boils down to jealousy on Lesa’s behalf. As for Lesa, she thinks the kiss the hand move is “giving thirsty” and “forced,” with a side of “nothing.”
Settling down the room, Stanbury and Chanel announce a surprise. They filmed a video for everyone to watch. As it airs, Sara jokes that it looks like a Tampon ad, making an unimpressed-looking Lesa chuckle. Brooks admits she cringed, but she thinks Lesa is about to explode.
Lesa thinks this video aimed to “rile” her up. She tells Chanel to enjoy her ride with Stanbury but to be careful not to fall off. Chanel is over it.
Everything comes to a head, closing out RHODubai Season 2 on a negative note

Chanel approaches Lesa to talk in private. Lesa says no. A bothered Chanel walks away as her costars take notice. Taleen encourages Lesa to have that talk after all.
Lesa finally approaches, and Chanel speaks on what Taleen and Brooks noted earlier. Lesa tries to shut her down, saying they agreed not to discuss this. She then grows hot, saying this is the second time Chanel has thrown her under the bus with their cast.
Cue Lesa, ushering in her tit-for-tat era. In an earlier chat, Chanel allegedly told Lesa that Stanbury felt like Lesa was bragging about buying an estate in the Cotswolds. So Lesa called Stanbury out on these claims, but Stanbury denied using those words. Chanel agrees, telling Lesa she twisted this story.
“You used the word bragging,” Lesa adamantly stresses. In her confessional, Stanbury says she never said bragging. Chanel agrees.
As Chanel digs in, insisting she never used this word, Lesa’s top blows. “I swear on my children’s lives. May God strike them dead,” she yells, as I cringed. Chanel, however, does not back down, even when Lesa calls her a liar and says this will end their friendship.
Chanel finally explodes. Brooks laughs, saying, “Ladies and gentlemen. I am not the problem.” Lesa sobs as the credits roll on RHODubai Season 2. To date, Lesa and Chanel remain at odds.
The Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2 Reunion Part 1 airs next Tuesday, September 10, on Bravo at 9/8c.

Sam McKinney won the title of the ultimate villain on The Bachelorette Season 21. On night one, Sam made a strong impression on both leading lady Jenn Tran and viewers. Sam explained that he dreamed of becoming a husband and father, and even snagged Jenn’s first impression rose. At first, it seemed like Sam would be a real front-runner this season, which he was for a while. However, it didn’t take long for Sam’s true colors to start showing.
After his first date with Jenn, it became apparent that Sam had a lot of red flags. As the season continued, Sam’s behavior only got worse. In addition to messing with Jenn’s feelings, Sam consistently found himself in conflict with the rest of the men. Sam is not only the worst villain this season, but after his shenanigans, he is arguably one of the worst in Bachelorette history.
Sam McKinney displayed selfish tendencies during his one-on-one with Jenn
In New Zealand, Sam received a one-on-one date with Jenn, where things quickly went south. After Jenn arrived at the table, Sam wasn’t romantic and didn’t even move the chair for her to sit. Jenn was excited to be on her first date with him, but Sam quickly ruined the mood. Jenn explained that while she and Sam had a strong physical connection, she wasn’t sure how deep their emotional connection could go.
After someone jumped from the top of the tower where they were, Sam declared that they would jump as well. Jenn was scared of the jump and felt frustrated that Sam didn’t understand why she didn’t feel comfortable with it. Sam didn’t care as he was only thinking of himself and just wanted to jump to get an adrenaline rush. Once Jenn and Sam got to the top of the tower, he only worried about hanging off the building. He didn’t care that Jenn was terrified, and barely comforted her.
Sam McKinney said hurtful things to Jenn during the group date in Seattle
Sam managed to secure a rose from Jenn after his one-on-one and later made it to the top seven. Despite getting a second chance, Sam completely ruined his chances with Jenn during the group date in Seattle. During the radio group date, Jenn asked Sam a series of questions to try to see where he was at with their relationship. While no one expected him to do great, no one saw what was coming next.
For some reason, Sam thought it would be smart to start by saying that he hadn’t been falling in love with Jenn the entire time. While this is fine, it was a strange statement for Sam to make. Sam stuck his foot in his mouth even further when he proclaimed that upon seeing Jenn, he thought that she wasn’t his type. If that wasn’t bad enough, Sam went as far as saying that he was expecting either Daisy Kent or Maria Georgas to be the Bachelorette.
Sam’s behavior during the radio date was unacceptable, especially since his words were so hurtful to Jenn. The Daisy or Maria comment was particularly insensitive since Jenn faced a lot of negativity after she was announced as the Bachelorette. There aren’t many men in Bachelorette history who have chosen their words as poorly as Sam. All in all, this makes him a huge Bachelor Nation villain.
Sam couldn’t back up his words
After the radio date, Jenn felt that she needed more answers from Sam. Jenn decided to have a chat with Sam before the rose ceremony, which caught him off guard. When she sat down with Sam, Jenn asked for clarity on him spontaneously proclaiming that he loved her. Jenn felt confused by the whole ordeal, but Sam kept saying that he meant to say it. After the insensitive things Sam had said during the date, it was evident something didn’t add up.
When Jenn asked Sam why he loved her, he couldn’t come up with a concrete answer. Sam kept playing with words and began discussing irrelevant things like his love for his family and friends. Ultimately, Jenn decided she couldn’t take any more of Sam’s nonsense and sent him home. Sam made a bad impression on Jenn and viewers, especially after he couldn’t remember anything Jenn opened up about during their one-on-one. The Bachelorette has seen some troubling characters over the years, but Sam is one for the books.

Kyle Richards has been focused on her health and wellness and fitness is a big aspect of her regimen. In a newly uploaded photo, fans can see that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is looking strong, fit, and fab.
And it looks like losing weight is just part of Kyle’s fitness goals. She’s focusing on getting stronger, working out more, building muscle, and living well. And it looks like it’s paying off as Kyle is showing the fruits of labor.
Welcome to Kyle Richards’ gun show

In the latest mirror selfie Kyle shared on her Instagram stories, the Bravo star is sitting in her gym set up and showing off her lean stomach and the defined musculature of her arms. The weights are paying off as you can see the cuts in the muscles.
Building muscle seems to be the next part of Kyle’s fitness journey. In July, she celebrated two years of sobriety as part of her ongoing wellness commitment.
In a post on Instagram, the star shared that she was proud of having the willpower to stay on the sobriety path. When before she couldn’t imagine two weeks without alcohol, she’s now at two years and counting.
And keeping the alcohol away coupled with a structured workout regimen and healthy eating helped her achieve a slimmer and more toned figure.
“My mental and physical health became a lot more important to me,” she added. “I’m not going to lie… the fact that I looked better because I wasn’t drinking was also an incentive to not veer from the road I am on. But the real reward is how I feel inside. I feel strong, energetic, and grateful for my body.”
In addition to working out alone and staying away from alcohol, Kyle is also working out with friends. Teddi Mellencamp shared Instagram stories of her hiking and jogging with Kyle and another friend.

Alfonso Ribeiro is looking forward to another year of enjoying the ballroom, enjoying the dances, and cohosting Dancing with the Stars. He’s especially looking forward to doing it all alongside cohost and close friend Julianne Hough.
Alfonso participated in season 19 of DWTS with Witney Carson in 2014. He went on to win the competition and returned to cohost season 31 with Tyra Banks. Julianne took over hosting for Tyra in 2023 for season 32 and joined Alfonso. The two have become great friends.
“I can’t wait to tackle that stage with Julianne,” Afonso told US Weekly. “The both of us together — especially over the last year — we’ve gotten to be really close friends. And we enjoy working with each other,” he shared. “I think it’s going to be a magical season for both of us.”
Although winning the mirrorball trophy was a red-letter day for Alfonso, he’s quite happy to be firmly in his hosting era. Especially since that means he gets to come back every season.
“I like hosting because that job gets me to come back every year,” he explained. “Competing, you get one shot at it. I love this job. Becoming a host has been, truly, what I think I was destined to do from the beginning.”
Additionally, he said, “I think all the other jobs I’ve done in my life kind of led up to me becoming a host and allowing me to do that specific job.”
Alfonso said that he loves being part of the “highs and lows” and getting to “connect with the pros and the celebrities” throughout the competition.
All in all, the former star of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is excited about Season 33 and the upcoming cast reveals. He was thrilled with the first casting announcement — Olympic athlete and pommel horse specialist Stephen Nedoroscik.
“So excited to have him,” Alfonso shared. “Every year it’s always a great cast.”
