Some things never change. All of these years later, we’re still watching Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Angelina Pivarnick going at it on reality TV. During the latest episode of Jersey Shore Family Vacation, their latest feud reached a boiling point and led to Snooki kicking Angelina out of her room. All of a sudden, it’s 2010 all over again.
Another round of Angelina versus Snooki
Nicole and Angelina’s latest blowup happened during Jersey Shore Family Vacation Season 7, Episode 24. Yes, we know that’s an absurd amount number of episodes for one season of reality TV, but that’s not the point.
During the episode, Angelina made the mistake of trash-talking Nicole’s BFF and makeup artist. Snooki was pissed, and she went into a confessional room to rant about her roommate. Angelina, on the other hand, wanted to resolve the issue face-to-face. So, she stormed into Snooki and Deena Cortese’s bedroom for a 1 am confrontation.
“You had so much to say in confessional,” Angelina said after bursting into the bedroom. “Do you want me to get down on my knees and say everything’s okay? What’s going on?”
In the past, Snooki admitted that this type of behavior from Angelina prompted her to pause Jersey Shore Family Vacation. She said she left the show to focus on her family, but it was also a way to get a break from Angelina. Now that they’re filming and feuding again, Snooki has zero patience.
She replied, “I’m trying to get my pajamas, and you came in here. What is going on? No. Angelina, get out of my room.”
Then, for at least five minutes straight, Snooki pleaded with Angelina. “Get out of my room. Get out of my room.” Meanwhile, poor Deena just sat there praying for it to stop. She just wanted to sleep!
Eventually, Angelina left the room, although it took some serious convincing. To make matters worse, she wound up whacking herself on a camera on the way out the door.
“God punished you,” Snooki said in response.
Fast forward a few minutes later, and Snooki had a change of heart. She allowed Angelina to come into the room for another attempt at a conversation. Unfortunately for Deena, that conversation happened right on her bed. So much for trying to sleep…
Jersey Shore Family Vacation airs new episodes on MTV, Thursdays at 8/7c.
TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE TENSION BETWEEN ANGELINA AND NICOLE? HOW WOULD YOU REACT TO YOUR FRIENDS ARGUING ON YOUR BED AT 1 AM?
Sister Wives’Christine Brown has always been a woman who believes in fairytales. I mean, she did hold out hope that her ogre of an ex-husband would change. But Kody Brown turned out to be a frog instead of her knight in shining armor. But even amid a nasty divorce, Christine hoped she’d find her one true love. And as luck would have it, David Woolley showed up on Valentine’s Day just in the nick of time. However, not all of his stepchildren were initially sold on the idea.
Christine Brown’s children didn’t like David Woolley
Perhaps one of the most vocal of the Brown children, Paedon Brown, let it be known back in May 2023 that he wouldn’t be giving his mother his blessing. As we know, the aspiring firefighter had a change of heart since he walked her down the aisle. But at the time, Paedon told The Sun, “As fans know, Christine rushed her engagement, saying “yes” after only two months of dating.” This move was a major red flag for many of Christine’s children. A source told the outlet, “Paedon never supports this kind of stuff. He doesn’t support much of anything, so it’s not surprising.” The family friend added, “It’s not to say that two or three years from now, he’ll change his mind, but for now, he’s made his feelings clear.”
Paedon also took to his TikTok to voice his concerns. He shared, “Last night, I told her, ‘Hey, Mom, you’re going fast. I’m not telling you to slow down. I just want you to be aware that you’re rushing this. You were in – you’ve been in a bad relationship with dad for years.'” Gwen Brown also took to her Instagram Live to share her feelings. She noted, “Yeah, I like my mom’s boyfriend. He and Truely get along really well, which is what I was most concerned about.”
The Sister Wives clan was concerned for Christine Brown
We all understand the idea of getting hit with Cupid’s arrow. But most of the Browns worried that Christine was moving way too fast. And their worries were valid. Sunday night’s all-new Sister Wives episode showed her that while her children supported her adventures in online dating, many wanted her to act a bit more rational. Christine has been all about the lovey-dovey social media posts, and they’ve been a bit sickening if I’m being honest.
Fans already know that none of the Brown children want to follow in the polygamist’s footsteps. The episode showed that Paedon and Ysabel Brown were the most candid about their apprehensions, sharing that they needed more processing time. Christine’s only son stated, “Mom, acknowledging it’s going fast isn’t us telling you that it’s bad. It’s just us being observant.” Paedon added, “It’s just saying, ‘Oh, this is going really fast. It’s not us telling you to stop or slow down.” The children had every right to be concerned since they were just getting used to their parent’s divorce. From an outsider’s perspective, it looked like Christine just didn’t want to be alone.
Christine Brown refused to slow down the love train
What was a bit of a surprise was that Christine, while happy her children shared their opinions, refused to slow down her relationship. But the issue that bugged the Brown kids the most was Christine’s PDA. And I get it. No one wants to see how the hot dog is made. (I’m not sure that’s the proper vernacular, but you get the picture.) Mykelti Brown, who is the only remaining bridge between Christine and Kody, noted that their mother’s romance was non-existent when she was with the patriarch. Naturally, the kids are just not used to seeing their mother behave this way. But for the others, the physical affection has crossed a line.
In the background, Ysabel pretended to gag over the idea of Christine making out with her now husband. Paedon so eloquently added, “I’m happy for you, but I’d rather not be in the same room.” Viewers can second that motion. For Christine, making out was no big deal, telling TLC cameras, “So we kiss, and we hug in front of our kids. It’s a whole new world for them, and David and I just don’t care, and our kids are just going to have to get used to it.” Love was certainly in the air during Christine’s courtship and I am just very surprised she didn’t have a mutiny on her hands because the kids were not wrong to be apprehensive.

Throughout its many seasons, The Bachelor franchise has produced dozens of couples. Bachelor Nation favorites have found love on The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise. While many of these couples later went their separate ways, there are still several Bachelor Nation lovers who are still together. These classic couples often post content together on social media, highlighting that some Bachelor Nation love stories do work out.
In the spirit of Halloween, we put together a list of our all-time favorite Bachelor Nation costumes. While Halloween isn’t ever a part of the show itself, Bachelor Nation stars thankfully love showing off their costumes on Instagram. These are our six favorite Bachelor Nation Halloween costumes, from both couples and single cast members.
Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon’s family took a trip to Agrabah for Halloween 2023
Ashley and Jared included Dawson in their 2023 Halloween costumes, which included several characters from the Disney hit Aladdin. Jared dressed as Aladdin, with a red Solo cup (of all things) as a headpiece. Ashley was flawless in a Princess Jasmine costume, while baby Dawson looked adorable in a onesie as Abu the monkey. Classic Disney costumes are always a good idea and Ashley and Jared executed these perfectly.
Becca Kufrin gave fans a good laugh by dressing as Postpartum Malone for Halloween 2023
After her journey as the lead of The Bachelorette Season 14, Becca Kufrin fell hard for Thomas Jacobs on Bachelor in Paradise. They later got engaged off-screen and married in 2023. The couple also welcomed their son Benson in 2023.
For Benson’s first Halloween, the family went all out with costumes. Thomas dressed as Wilson but it was Becca’s costume that took the cake. With face tattoos and chains, Becca dressed as Postpartum Malone aka Post Malone. Benson’s costume was also musically inspired, after the Elton John song Bennie and the Jets. Little Benny looked so cute in his jet costume!
Amanda Stanton’s family pulled off three incredible group costumes during Halloween 2023
Amanda Stanton appeared on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise but later found love outside Bachelor Nation. In 2022, Amanda married her husband Michael Fogel. Amanda and Michael take Halloween quite seriously and put together three amazing costumes for their family in 2023.
The first costume was Peter Pan-themed, with Michael dressing as Peter Pan while Amanda was Wendy. Amanda’s two daughters Kingsley and Charlie completed the look with Tinker Bell and Captain Hook costumes. This wasn’t all, however, as the family also had Hocus Pocus and Wizard of Oz-themed costumes last year. We love the Halloween spirit!
Kenny Braasch and Mari Pepin took us to Jurassic Park during Halloween 2022
Kenny Braasch and Mari Pepin fell for one another on Bachelor in Paradise Season 7. At the end of the season, they got engaged and later married in 2023. While they didn’t post any Halloween pics before tying the knot, they did deliver with their Halloween 2022 costumes.
Kenny and Mari dressed up as Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler from the original Jurassic Park movies. This was a really fun choice especially since Jurassic Park is such a classic. These aren’t costumes you see often, so Kenny and Mari get extra points for creativity. Hopefully, they give us another good one this year!
Hannah Godwin stunned as Tinker Bell for Halloween 2023
Hannah Godwin is easily one of the most beloved Bachelor Nation stars. The Alabama native first appeared on The Bachelor Season 23 but later found love with her husband Dylan Barbour on BIP.
For her Halloween 2023 costume, Hannah went classic but elegant. Hannah dressed as everyone’s favorite Disney fairy, Tinker Bell. Everything about the look was spot on and Hannah nailed every detail from the cut-outs in the green dress to the wings and wand. With her blonde hair tucked back in a bun, it was hard to tell the difference between Hannah and Tink. Can you tell how much I love the Disney costumes by now?
Nayte Olukoya paid homage to the 2023 movie of the year with his Halloween costume
Nayte Olukoya won The Bachelorette Season 18 where he got engaged to Michelle Young. Unfortunately, Nayte and Michelle’s relationship didn’t last long after. Despite not finding lasting love in Bachelor Nation, Nayte has remained a prominent figure in the franchise.
For his Halloween 2023 costume, Nayte embraced the blockbuster hit Barbie. Nayte dressed up as his own version of Ken, sporting a hoodie with the famous slogan “I am Kenough”. The look was completed with a cowboy hat, which Ken was obsessed with in the movie. Nayte’s costume was so fun and represented everything we loved about the Barbie movie perfectly.

Joan Vassos is a 61-year-old woman from Maryland, who was chosen as the lead of the historic first season of The Golden Bachelorette. After Joan’s husband died from pancreatic cancer, she has been looking for a second chance for love. Joan has a family she loves deeply but now she feels it’s time to focus on herself again. Currently, Joan is down to her final four suitors. At the moment, Joan has a great chance of finding a forever with one of them.
The season started with 24 men, many of whom became fan favorites. The contestants ranged from their late 50s to 60s and they all had different experiences to share. While only one man can win Joan’s heart, another will likely get the opportunity to lead The Golden Bachelor Season 2. Several men from Joan’s season would be an amazing Golden Bachelor. These four in particular have stood out from the rest. We hope to see one of them announced as the lead soon!
Chock Chapple

Chock Chapple is a 60-year-old man from Wichita Kansas, where he works as an insurance executive. He has two kids and ironically his 24-year-old daughter signed him up to be on The Golden Bachelorette. Chock had previously been in love twice. The first was with his ex-wife, whom he had an amicable split with. Later on in life, Chock met his late fiance Kathy. During his one-on-one date with Joan, Chock opened up about Kathy’s passing, which he considered the hardest thing he’s gone through.
Joan and Chock have had a strong connection from the jump. Chock received the first one-on-one and his feelings have been growing for Joan ever since. After losing his mother during filming, Chock later returned as he felt so strongly about Joan. Chock is still in the running for Joan’s final rose but if he doesn’t receive it, he would make an excellent Golden Bachelor. Chock is ready for love, which makes him a perfect fit for the role. He is also charismatic and personable, which helps as well.
Pascal Ibgui

Pascal Ibgui is a salon owner from Paris who moved to Chicago when he was 22. At age 69, Pascal is now looking for someone to share the rest of his life with. Pascal caught the attention of viewers right off the bat, due to his high standards and boujie lifestyle. The Paris native even needed help doing his laundry, which fans found hilarious. Pascal received the second one-on-one date of the season, where he enjoyed the day with Joan in Las Vegas.
Joan is interested in Pascal but has been unsure of him at times. She explained that she felt he wasn’t pursuing her strongly enough, however, he explained that he didn’t want to step on the other men’s toes. Pascal received a hometown rose from Joan, so there’s a chance the two may end up together. If not, however, Pascal would be a fantastic Golden Bachelor. Pascal stands out from the crowd and his humor and lifestyle make him interesting to watch.
Mark Anderson

Mark Anderson was a contestant fans were hyped to watch on Joan’s season. The 57-year-old from Louisiana made his first appearance on The Bachelor Season 28. Mark was featured during his daughter Kelsey Anderson’s hometown date with Joey Graziadei. Kelsey ended up winning Joey’s season and Bachelor Nation viewers began rallying for Mark to become the next Golden Bachelor.
Unfortunately, Mark and Joan weren’t meant to be. Mark made it to the final seven, where Joan eliminated him due to feeling that their connection wasn’t strong enough. While Mark might not have been Joan’s person, that doesn’t mean that he’s not someone else’s. It’s not too late for Mark to become the next Golden Bachelor, which is what fans originally wanted. Mark is a genuine person who deserves to find love and The Golden Bachelor Season 2 would be the perfect place to do so.
Jonathan Rone

Jonathan Rone is another standout contestant from The Golden Bachelorette who would make a great Golden Bachelor lead. The Oakland, Iowa native is a shipping consultant and 61 years old. Jonathan received the first group date rose of the season during the prom date, where he opened up to Joan. The following week, Jonathan received a one-on-one, where he opened up about his divorce. This furthered his connection with Joan but he was ultimately sent home before hometowns.
Throughout his time on The Golden Bachelorette, Jonathan was a ton of fun to watch. Jonathan embraced the group dates and put his all into the journey. While Jonathan may not have found love with Joan, he deserves to find it with another woman on The Golden Bachelor. Jonathan knows how to have a good time but is also able to open up and be vulnerable. This makes him an excellent candidate for The Golden Bachelor Season 2.
TELL US – WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE AS THE NEXT GOLDEN BACHELOR?
Kody Brown is a conundrum at best. The Sister Wives star often speaks out of both sides of his mouth. And if you were close to him, he wouldn’t be the man you go to for advice. But nonetheless, Kody loves to hear the sound of his advice and usually can’t figure out how to put a cork in it. Kody is zero for three when it comes to holding on to wives, but in the newest episode, viewers found him sharing some questionable wisdom with them, which left many of us thinking he should have listened to himself.
Kody Brown’s first marriage to Meri Brown explained

Meri Brown first met Kody when she was only 18 while both attended a church event. The mother of one was introduced to her future husband by his sister, Christy. In the family book, Meri noted, “I was a little taken with Kody right off the bat.” Meri added, “He was definitely cute, and had a great attitude. He was talkative and engaged me in conversation, and made me feel comfortable around him.” During their meet-cute, Kody also showed interest in Meri even though he denies those feelings now. Kody shared, “Meri was so cute and sweet when I met her that I had difficulty suppressing my hopelessly romantic nature. She had a remarkable purity about her. I had a sneaking suspicion that we were soulmates.”
Both Kody and Meri believed in abstaining from any physical intimacy before getting engaged, including handholding and kissing. But in 1990, they tied the knot. In Season 19, Kody revealed that he had issues with Meri, who started to come across as unfavorable. But he ignored the red flags and just decided to add another wife to the mix.
Meri Brown held out hope for her marriage until the end
In Sunday’s all-new Sister Wives episode, Meri revealed that the church had granted her a “release.” This was huge news for Meri, as it meant she wouldn’t be tied to Kody in the afterlife. Meri told the cameras “I was granted what is called in our church a release, which is basically the equivalent of a divorce.” Even though Meri seemed a bit down about the end of her marriage, Kody came across as relieved. The two have only been coexisting for years. After Meri’s catfish scandal, it was apparent that Kody wanted nothing to do with her.
But she hung in there for years, trying to win back her favor amongst the other wives. Kody had stopped showing her love and affection, with even the other wives taking note. No one fully understood why Meri stayed as long as she did, but it was probably because she truly loved him. The writing was on the wall for Meri after Kody shared in a confessional, “She is upset that I’ve dragged this out for so long. I don’t blame her. I don’t want Meri to be in this place where she’s taking this toll, this direction that both Christine and Janelle have taken. Oh, yeah, ‘I need one more enemy right now.’” Kody went on to say, “I think if I were single and Meri was single, would I date her? No, I wouldn’t.”
In a Sister Wives episode, Kody is seen talking about his union with Meri in a negative light. Instead of leaving his third breakup in an honorable way, he is heard mocking his decision to marry Meri. While driving, Kody noted, “You know what really sucks? It’s not divorce that sucks. It’s marrying the wrong person.” Meri told TLC cameras, “What sucks is marrying the wrong person and not having the decency to tell her until 32 years later.” To which Kody can be heard saying, “I wish I wouldn’t have ever married her.”
Kody trying to wish away his decision to marry was weird. As viewers watched the father of 18, he just seemed to ignore all his wrongdoings within the union once again. Instead of acting like a crybaby, Kody might have tried to explain why he felt Meri was wrong to help followers understand. And if it is true that Kody never loved Meri, why did he ever wait at the end of the aisle for her? It just doesn’t seem kind. The best lesson learned from Kody’s selfishness is how not to love someone. That’s advice you can take to the bank.

Kyle is definitely at the center of the trailer. Mauricio will still appear this season, and it looks like his new romance with Nikita Kahn upsets our Beverly Hills OG. Her sister Kathy Hilton is back as a friend of. Two of Sutton Stracke’s friends are also joining the ladies this year. Bozoma Saint John is on board full time, as the newest Real Housewife of Beverly Hills. After making cameos on RHOBH in the past, Jennifer Tilly signed on as a friend of. Former cast member cast member Camille Meyer, once known as Camille Grammer, also appears.
Despite all the drama, there’s still some fun teases in the trailer. For instance, the Housewives take trips to Oceanside, CA, Augusta, GA, and St. Lucia. There’s also more theme parties, a very unexpected kiss, and a cameo from an evil haunted doll. Here are some moments from the trailer that have us counting down the days until November 19!
Kyle Richards fights Dorit Kemsley in the RHOBH Season 14 trailer
Instead of bonding over their respective splits, Kyle and Dorit appear to be Season 14’s biggest feud. It’s not entirely surprising after last season, and the RHOBH Season 13 reunion especially. In case you need a refresher, Dorit showed a text from Kyle on camera, claiming Kyle tried to silence her. Things were already dicey, but that seemed to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Remember when Lisa Vanderpump shaded Dorit and Kyle for spending more time with each other than their husbands? My, how things change!
We heard rumblings that Dorit is activated this year, and the trailer backs that up. And not just because of the heavy flirting she does. When Sutton tries a friendship bonding ceremony, Dorit quips, “I really hope this ribbon does what Sutton’s intending … and if not, I can save it in case I need to strangle one of these ladies.” And when Kyle asks her to “let me talk,” Dorit fires back, “it’s time for you to f*cking listen.”
Ultimately, the trailer ends with Kyle screaming, “What more do you want from me?!” To which Dorit very angrily replies, “I want you to stop f*cking raising your voice at me!” I’m not sure we’ve ever seen Dorit this angry! Sutton tries to mediate, but the gasps and sound of something shattering indicates that doesn’t work.
Sutton Stracke has also had enough of Kyle Richards

In the trailer’s opening moments, Sutton narrates, “Friendships are … not perfect.” The Southern belle continues, “there are ups and downs, twists and turns.” It seems like she’s talking about one friendship in particular.
Later in the clip, Sutton declares, “I am not going to bow down at the altar of Kyle Richards.” Garcelle Beauvais nods in agreement. And this certainly recalls Crystal Kung Minkoff’s recent statements about RHOBH being “Kyle’s show.” Sutton is also heard saying they don’t need a specific someone to hold the group together. That could be a reference to Kyle. Are we getting another name ’em moment this year?
However, Sutton also supports Kyle amidst her divorce, even encouraging her to make things official and file. But honestly, can we blame Kyle for being so upset with her pals in this trailer? Between the end of her marriage and these many feuds, it sure seems like everyone is coming for the RHOBH OG this year.
Has PK Kemsley been texting Kyle Richards amid his separation from Dorit?

At one point in the trailer, Dorit is shocked when PK says they won’t talk five times a day anymore. But it seems he’s in contact with another RHOBH star, as Kyle finds herself in the middle of things yet again. Garcelle reveals that Kyle told her PK texts her.
If this is true, it’s unclear what they would be talking about. The two estranged couples were very close, after all. So, it’s possible Kyle and PK just check in on each other since they’re both going through the same thing. For instance, PK might communicate with Kyle about Mauricio’s new relationship, which upsets her in the trailer.
No matter what, it’s sure to make the rift between Kyle and Dorit even worse.
Garcelle Beauvais and Erika Jayne enjoy a kiss

These two have certainly come a long way! On one of the cast trips, former enemies Garcelle and Erika Jayne shock the ladies by sharing a smooch. After Erika’s heartfelt apology to Garcelle’s son, the two RHOBH co-stars started to mend fences in Season 13. On the Spain trip, for instance, they joked about a rendezvous with the hunky chef. But a kiss was still not on our bingo card! If Garcelle and Erika can get over their issues, maybe there’s still some hope left for Kyle and Dorit to reconcile?
In general, Erika seems to be having fun this year. It looks like she’ll perform on stage again. However, the Tom Girardi drama may still come up. She also appears to still be at odds with Garcelle’s pal Sutton.
The newbies have arrived in the RHOBH Season 14 trailer

“Boz is the real deal,” Sutton says in a confessional, emphasizing, “she’s the boss!” Indeed, Boz is incredibly accomplished and inspiring. Her style is also amazing, and we have no doubts she’ll make a great Real Housewife. Surely, she’ll earn new fans from her reaction to Kyle running away from a dramatic situation (as she is wont to do). The cut to a befuddled Boz asking “Damn, where the hell she going?!” ends the trailer on a hilarious note.
Sutton’s Oscar nominated BFF Jennifer Tilly is also on board as a friend of this season. Jennifer compared the RHOBH cast to Martin Scorsese, so you know she’s taking this seriously. And she brought her Tiffany Valentine doll from the Child’s Play franchise with her. According to Jennifer’s Instagram, Tiffany was also on set for the RHOBH After Show. So, viewers can expect plenty of fun, kooky, and even creepy moments amidst the feuds.
