Another week has come and gone, making it time for our Below Deck Down Under Season 3 Episode 12 recap. “Across Frenemy Lines” brings us back to the super yacht Katina, where, starting last week, two new men are turning the tide for the exterior team. In contrast, relations between the interior team and the galley are sinking. Lara has clear visions for how things must run, so last-minute change-ups and requests are not her bag, even though this narrative is starting to frustrate Marina, Tzarina, and Captain Jason. Here is a breakdown of everything that transpired on Below Deck Down Under Season 3, Episode 12.

What happened in Below Deck Down Under Season 3 Episode 12?

Nicolas has already messed up royally, drinking with the guests during his first charter. But, unlike those who came before, Nicolas owns his mistakes. Now, Captain Jason has appreciative eyes trained on his newest deckhand, who remains safe (for now). Meanwhile, trouble is also brewing in the galley. Frustrations, pride, and misunderstood narratives are mounting, resulting in a conflict-filled episode of BDDU.

Captain Jason wants Marina in service, but Lara remains unsure

The crew awakens for another day, but Alesia remains tired. Tzarina notices.

Internally, Nicolas is struggling. He knows he messed up and that ignoring his actions might fly, yet Nicolas is not that kind of guy. As soon as he can, Nicolas plans on reporting his drunken shot to the captain.

The guests planned an excursion to a rum tasting and distillery tour, followed by a picnic lunch. A storm blows in, but this will not cancel their plans. In contrast, Captain Jason has a new plan to throw at Lara, asking her to place Marina on service during this outing. But Lara disagrees, telling her boss that Marina cannot “do service on her own.”

The camera pans to show Marina excelling solo with the guests as they eat breakfast on the sundeck. Back in the galley, Lara tells Captain Jason that Marina has never done service alone, so he asks her to give Marina a chance. In his interview, he notes that Lara needs to step outside her comfort zone.

The guests and first round of crew members (including Marina) depart, escorted away by a covered tender to help avoid the storm.

Lara and Tzarina butt heads as Nicolas comes clean with Captain Jason

Lara heads to the galley, telling Tzarina to attend the picnic lunch. Tzarina, however, notes that the dishes for this excursion only need to be unwrapped and served, so the crew members in attendance do not need her nearby. Even still, Lara is adamant that Tzarina must attend. Tzarina relents and accepts, noting that she must be back on board early to prep dinner.

Lara suggests Alesia also attend to “help build” her confidence. Heading up to the sundeck, Lara next encounters Harry. She tells Harry that something is off with Tzarina.

Nicolas practices his shots-related speech using a Pirates of the Caribbean reference. He then explains that he got into yachting courtesy of his father, a professional windsurfer and kitesurfer who now works as a captain in the Mediterranean. His equally attractive father hates rules, but as he admits, Nicolas moves oppositely. Proving this point, Nicolas heads to the wheelhouse to turn himself in.

On the excursion, Marina busts her tail to wow their charter guests. Tzarina and Alesia arrive. As Marina serves rum, Tzarina uncovers her dishes and runs. As she explains, the boat is over an hour away, so Tzarina must head back now to ensure everything runs smoothly later.

After Tzarina bolts, Adair asks Alesia if she is okay. In response, Alesia states that she can uncover dishes. This response is what Tzarina tried to state to Lara earlier. But Alesia remains bothered, and Tzarina seems to be the one she feels annoyed by.

In the wheelhouse, Nicolas tells on himself. Thankfully, Captain Jason repays his honesty with grace. His job is safe.

Tzarina returns to the yacht following the excursion, frustrated with Lara

Back onboard, Tzarina tells Lara that this excursion was the “biggest waste” of her time. Lara asks if Tzarina went before the “food got taken out?” Confused, Tzarina answers yes. In her interview, Lara quips, “I wish Tzarina had been more passionate about serving the guests lunch than serving me this sh*tty attitude.”

The guests return. They loved their expedition. Alesia heads to the galley, where Tzarina is extra quiet. Alesia wants to help, yet the only reply she gets from Tzarina is a nod and a saying that all is well.

Nicolas tells everyone what he did and how the captain reacted. This crew likes Nicolas, so everyone feels thankful he kept his gig.

Lara enters, praising Alesia for her service during the excursion. Alesia was glad to go, yet she knew a lot needed to happen back on the yacht. Lara waves her concerns away. In her talking head, Tzarina states that Lara seems to be “grooming” Alesia to turn against her in the galley.

Several beats later, Harry asks Tzarina if she and Lara are getting along. Tzarina answers that she thinks all is well, but when she asks Harry why he questioned her about this friendship, Harry fibs, telling her no one brought this to his ear.

As the guests head to the dinner table, Alesia attempts small talk with Tzarina. Tzarina answers her questions kindly, but her words are few. Alesia somewhat snaps, telling Tzarina she cannot go an entire night like this “because it’s depressing.” Tzarina looks confused but tells Alesia that she is exhausted, nothing more or less.

Nicolas has his eyes on Marina while Harry keeps his ears attuned to the drama

In the crew galley, Marina encounters Nicolas. Nicolas finds Marina “adorable,” he admits, joking in his talking head that he never approached women while growing up. Laughing, Nicolas gives God thanks for feminism because bold women helped him out with his game.

The crew lines up to grab plates from Tzarina. Tzarina goes over what the guests are about to eat so they can parrot these words back to their guests. However, her explanation is wordy, causing Lara to roll her eyes.

Alesia retreats to her cabin for a moment of silence. Shortly after, thanks to editing, the guests also head to their rooms for bed.

Alesia heads to the galley in the morning. Tzarina gives her a task, which Alesia seeks clarification on. Alesia explains that she has “no idea” what is happening in Tzarina’s head, yet she feels like she is walking on eggshells at work now. Tzarina listens, stating she will tell Alesia more moving forward.

Lurking in the next room, hearing everything, Harry smiles, amused at their low-stakes drama. On deck, Nate teaches Adair as a capable bosun should. Speaking of capable, Tzarina is in the galley, licking water from her tumbler like a competent cat. I, too, wish to lurk inside her brain.

The guests depart. They loved their charter.

Marina finds Nicolas cute, but Adair reveals a secret that gives Marina pause

While turning the boat over, Marina tells Adair that she finds Nicolas cute. But this deck/stew has a secret. Nic has already started to “party with a guest,” Adair reveals. Shocked and disappointed, Marina listens as Adair continues, telling Marina that Nicolas already confessed everything to the captain.

Once Adair gets to the part of his actual sins, AKA drinking a shot with this guest in question, Marina looks relieved. Words matter, all. In her interview, Marina labels Nic a nerd, admitting she loves his honesty.

The crew, however, does not love their 15k tip. But Nicolas treasures the disco ball helmet, which Captain Jason hands him following his authentic showings. In their talking heads, the crew also applauds Nic while joking about how he presents. Nicolas is new, but he is already a winner on BDDU.

Similarly, Harry is winning on deck. Nate makes Harry the lead deckhand.

Tzarina walks in on a heated conversation while Marina and Nicolas bring the heat to the dance floor

Bri pulls Alesia into her cabin. Once there, Lara asks Alesia how work is going. Alesia says that communication is lacking. Tzarina enters, catching their gossip session red-handed. She reflects in her confessional, slamming Lara for her “b*tchy schoolgirl attitude.”

Tzarina exits. Lara tells Alesia that a good leader cares about others. Interjecting, Alesia concedes that Tzarina does care for her.

Bri climbs into bed with Harry. A few floors above, Alesia and Nate chat in the hot tub. Nate leaves, giggling with Nicolas in their cabin about how big a fan he is of Alesia.

The crew heads out. Nicolas sits by Marina, admiring how her feet swing instead of reaching the floor. Also sitting side-by-side are Alesia and Nate, but Alesia misses Johnny, she divulges. When Alesia gets up for a smoke, Tzarina follows.

Alesia finally tells Tzarina how bothered she is. Hearing her, Tzarina explains her stressors before apologizing to Alesia. For now, the galley team is okay. Also okay are Marina and Nicolas, kissing on the dance floor as their fellow yachties cheer.

Lara approaches Alesia, asking her how her talk with Tzarina went. Alesia answers, telling her all is fine, but, as Tzarina clocked, tensions are typically high in this industry for chefs. Lara shuts this narrative down, telling Alesia, “It doesn’t have to be like that.”

Lara finds Tzarina next. Tzarina states that she has to say yes to Lara to make her back down, like with the plates issue. As Lara repeats that she was right about that, Tzarina announces that she feels “done.”

Below Deck Down Under continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo and streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT BELOW DECK DOWN UNDER SEASON 3 EPISODE 12? WHO DO YOU THINK IS IN THE WRONG?

The post Below Deck Down Under Season 3 Episode 12 Recap: Tzarina Stands Alone appeared first on Reality Tea.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta are in turmoil. Two of them are in nasty court battles with their estranged husbands. Another just got exposed via a poster board at the Kenya Moore Hair Spa. Let’s not even talk about the fact that one of the Housewives got kicked off the show two episodes ago.

There have been six episodes of nonstop discord, so in the grand tradition of the Bravo universe, it’s time to take a cast trip. Surely, that will help ease the tension. Right? On The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 Episode 7 “Nashville Hold Em’,” the ladies headed to Nashville to try to figure it out.

What happened in The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 Episode 7?

Although Kelli’s Peace Brunch ended in a big fight, the ladies continued to try to move forward with Season 16, regardless of its rocky start. This week, Porsha planned a birthday trip to Nashville with a hand-picked guest list. Meanwhile, the cameras followed Drew and Ralph to the courthouse, as the two continued to duke it out in their contentious divorce. Keep on reading for the full tea on Episode 7.

Brit is still bouncing back

In Episode 7, Brit is in much better spirits than the last few times we’ve seen her. She’s had a rough start, but her husband tried to make up for it by taking her shopping for a Ferrari. Whether or not anything actually made it off the lot that day is still up for debate.

Either way. Brit said that we “can’t hold a bad bitch down for long,” so she felt ready to move forward from the drama with Kenya. Instead, she’s shifting gears and starting a feud with Angela. She’s still holding onto her story about her insurance license being in jeopardy, and she’s mad that Angela questioned the accuracy of that claim.

According to Brit, the fact that Angela dared to question the story about her insurance license was a sign that Angela lacks empathy. To hit back at her, she proceeded to drop a major accusation about her NBA legend hubby, Charles Oakley.

“Well, there has been some whispers that Charles had a baby on her,” Brit claimed. “For you to have so much to say about what’s been going on with me, it seems like you need to be more worried about what’s going on with your man because these rumors don’t just fall out of the sky, sweetie.”

Porsha’s invite-only Nashville trip

While Brit was Ferrari shopping and dropping bombshell allegations about Angela’s husband, Porsha met up with Kelli, Shamea, and Cynthia to get all of the tea on the Peace Brunch since she called in sick that day. More importantly, she had to tee up the upcoming cast trip for her birthday.

Porsha told the ladies that she planned a trip to Nashville in the spirit of Cowboy Carter. She said she was inviting her sister, Monyetta Shaw, and a handful of other random people vying for a few seconds of RHOA screentime. Porsha said she wanted this to be an intimate event, so the entire new RHOA cast got invited except for Drew. According to the birthday girl, she was open to moving forward with Drew, just not on this trip.

That’s totally fair, but Angela had other plans. Privately, she encouraged Drew to come along on the trip as her plus one. It’s the level of audacity we need in this group to keep things spicy. Give Angela her props for being messy in a good way.

Detective Drew is on Brit’s case

When everything went down at the grand opening of the hair spa, Drew was the only Housewife to stand by Kenya’s side. With that in mind, Brit invited her out for drinks to try to get Drew to detach herself from Team Twirl.

Drew agreed to meet up with the RHOA newbie, but she went into full-blown detective mode once they sat down. It only took one sip of her cocktail, and Drew jumped into a line of questions for Brit. She was like, “I want real answers about your past. Did you ever sell the cat? Did you ever do porn?”

These are the questions we’ve all been wondering, and to Brit’s credit, she answered them pretty candidly. She said that she never worked as an escort, but admitted to being a retired cam girl. She said her cam girl career only lasted for a week, but she and a friend supposedly made really good money doing it. No shame in the game, but the bottom line from Brit was that she never filmed pornography. With that, Drew’s case is now closed

Ralph and Drew go another round in the courtroom

Poor Drew was busy as hell in this episode. They had her running all around Atlanta. Not only did she have to meet up with Brit to talk about her past as a cam girl, but then she had to turn around and face off with Ralph in a major divorce court battle.

On one side of the ring, you had Drew and her layer. They had three goals for the court date: get Ralph out of the basement, obtain his financial records, and seal the documents of the divorce. Her attorney seemed confident they could get all of that achieved.

In the other corner, Ralph sat with his new lawyer, the third one to take on his case. The cameras showed her gassing Ralph up ahead of the trial, insisting that they would take down Drew. She was like, “This is a money grab!”

Fast forward a couple of hours, and things couldn’t have gone worse for Drew. The divorce file? It’s unsealed. Ralph’s financial records? Those are on lock. The basement? Ralph is still in it. Drew said the outcome of the case felt like a nightmare scenario.

“Was there ever love, was there ever a friendship? I just feel ike we were better than this,” she lamented in a confessional.

Atlanta takes over Nashville

Cowboy Carter is fab, but the back half of this episode was all about Cowgirl Williams. The ladies embarked on their trip to Nashville, and it felt like the classic Housewives. There wasn’t a single reference to a pistol.

The ladies pulled up to their beautiful home and were greeted with cocktails, only to find out that this palatial estate, somehow, wouldn’t have enough bedrooms for all of them. We’ve seen this before, and we love it every time.

Meanwhile, Angela missed her flight and showed up at the house separately from the rest of the group. Approximately five seconds after her arrival, she sat down and dropped the news about her plus-one.

“I’d like for Drew to come,” Angela told the group, more so telling them than asking them.

Porsha simply could not wrap her head around the concept of Angela wanting Drew, of all people, on a birthday trip where she was specifically not invited. However, Angela spent the rest of the episode standing firm in her decision to extend that invitation. Otherwise. Drew would have spent her entire weekend at Dennis’ hookah bar, so in some ways, maybe Angela was doing Porsha a favor.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta continues on Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Welcome to the recap for Summer House Season 9, Episode 10. Last week, Lexi forgave Jesse for #toegate and decided to take her frustration out on Imrul instead. The group then got dinner and a show when Lindsay accused Carl of DMing Lil while they were still together. But Carl ended with a bow when he had the receipts to prove otherwise. Lastly, Paige was still uncertain about her future with Craig. Would she decide to end it once and for all? Here’s exactly what went down in Summer House Season 9, Episode 10: “Flirting with Disaster.”

What happened in Summer House Season 9, Episode 10?

Imrul finally pushed it too far with his late-night rendezvous and got chewed out by Paige and Ciara. He apologized, but would he be able to behave moving forward? Meanwhile, Jesse and Lexi got into a fight over her flirting with West. However, according to Lexi, it was all in Jesse’s imagination. And it also might have been in Jesse’s imagination when he thought Ciara was flirting with him. He told her not to do it, or he was going to get in trouble. Ciara was shook. Would their friendship ever be the same?

Jesse turned the tables on Lexi

Not even Kyle acting like Diplo could distract Paige from the stress she was going through. She said, “I feel guilty that I’m not more happy … I’ve literally manifested the apartment I live in; manifested having a boyfriend who is obsessed with me; I love my career. So, then why am I the most anxious I’ve ever been in my entire life when I have everything I want?” 

After Kyle’s DJ gig, the group all went out. Including Lindsay, who wanted to “whoop it up at the club for twenty minutes and then go home.” She said, “Here I am with my ex, at a club pregnant, celebrating my 38^th birthday. You can’t write that sh*t.” Lindsay, as always, was doing things her way. 

In unsurprising news, Lexi and Jesse got into another fight. Yawn. According to Jesse, Lexi and West were all over each other at the club. Which is surprising, as West’s body language was pretty clear he couldn’t stand her. Jesse told Lexi, “How you were with West tonight was worse than how I was the weekend you were away.” The deflection was real.

Lexi said in her confessional, ”You got your toe sucked by a stranger, and apparently you’re saying that you would have dated our friend that we live with. I was not flirting with West … The hypocrisy and jealousy that’s going on right now is mind-blowing.” But instead of spitting those facts at Jesse, she cuddled with him in bed and said she loved him. Sigh. 

Imrul continued to let his freak flag fly by having yet another girl spend the night. But it was one time too many, as his entanglement interrupted Paige’s sleep. And she was pissed.

Carl was vibing with Ciara

The next morning Jesse spun his narrative on why Lexi was a worse flirt than him. He said, “Last night, West was, like, massaging Lexi’s shoulders and, like, dancing and touching her … I think Lexi thinks it’s not apples to apples because she didn’t see how she was being flirty with West. Which is kind of funny because that’s how I felt when she accused me.” 

However, Jesse and Lexi’s drama wasn’t on everyone’s top of mind. It was Imrul’s sexy shenanigans. Paige complained to Ciara, Amanda, and Lexi about having to listen to 45 minutes of fake moaning. Imrul had crossed a line. Then, right on cue, Imrul sauntered in. Paige quipped, “You need an STD check.”

While everyone waited for Amanda to finish making Lindsay’s birthday brunch, Carl went outside to talk with Ciara. He spilled the tea that Lindsay checked in on him because of his brother’s passing. At least there was still some goodwill between them. But Carl’s mind was wandering to a what-if scenario with Ciara. 

He said, “I want to go back to being good friends with Ciara. The first summer I met her, back in 2020, we had a really good bond, and she was incredibly supportive when my brother passed away. It’s like there’s an emotional intelligence that I appreciate. It’s something I’m absolutely looking for, and I want in my next partnership.” And she’s definitely not into magic.

Ciara announced to Carl she was over Imrul’s lack of respect and rotating door of ladies. Imrul then unknowingly jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire when he left Paige to go and sit down next to Ciara. Like Paige, she had had enough.

Imrul decided to put a pause on his playboy ways

Imrul shared that he had a fun night last night. Ciara responded, “Yeah, we heard you.” Oop. It suddenly felt like he was on trial. Ciara said, “Dude, do you bring home girls like this in your own home? It feels obnoxious at this point.” 

But Imrul didn’t want to make any waves. He shared, “I’m not going to keep doing it if it’s bothering everybody. From the ages of six to twenty-three, I was undocumented … A big part of what I’m doing right now is just living a bit more freely than I did before … I want that to be part of who I am because that’s what I’m doing. I just don’t want that to be everything that I am.” 

Meanwhile, the lack of sleep did not help Paige’s mindset. She was still pretty anxious. Paige told Ciara, “I always feel like I’m doing the wrong thing. Or, like, I get nervous that me and Craig are going to break up … that everything I have will go away.”

On a lighter note, it was finally time for Lindsay’s birthday brunch. A producer asked if she thought this was where she would be at 38. Lindsay cackled, “I think that timeline ended at like 36.” She joked that they kept flashing back to her life plan that she had written and she was never going to hear the end of it. And life definitely never goes as planned. 

Lexi spilled the tea to producers that Jesse has said he loved her for “a long time,” and he first said it on day 11. And what are they on now, day 12? The catch was he said it when no one was around. Red flags kept getting thrown at Lexi, and she continued to ignore them. 

Ciara and Jesse’s friendship was on the rocks

Jesse met up with the group at the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge to serve dinner to those who were receiving cancer treatment. He shared about his cancer experience, “It’s one of the best things that ever happened to me in a weird way. It’s just hard to see it like that now. But life is so much sweeter on the other side.”

After dinner, Ciara was joking around with Carl and Jesse. Carl shared the news he “finally broke his streak” and had hooked up with a girl. Lindsay would be thrilled. 

They were all playing around, and Ciara leaned on Jesse. Suddenly, Jesse snapped, “Ciara, enough with the touching!” She said, “Wait, really?” Jesse said he had gotten into trouble. But Ciara was in shock at his response.

Later on, Ciara met up with Paige and Amanda at a rooftop restaurant. Paige dished that Craig had come to visit, but they just rehashed their same conversation. So, she decided to deal with her “emotional problems” after the tour. 

Ciara then filled them in on what Jesse said to her. In her confessional, she said, “This motherf*cker has some nerve to tell me not to touch him … You’ve been all up in my sh*t all summer. But ok, I see you.” 

She told the girls she didn’t even want Jesse in her room. Ciara said, “Don’t even come around … You know how I am. If you really want to play that game, your feelings will be hurt at the end of the day. Like, I won’t even look at you.” 

Summer House continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Welcome to the recap for The Valley Season 2 Episode 1. Last season, fans watched as most of the cast went from bottle service to baby bottles after moving to Valley Village and putting down roots. Familiar faces flooded the small screen, and it seemed like Kristen, Jax, and Brittany were all thriving away from SUR. Along with some newbies, Season 1 was a smash. Thanks to their bickering and inevitable separation, Jesse and Michelle were the breakout stars. Now, as we head into a new summer, there seems to be even more trouble in paradise. So here’s exactly what went down in The Valley Season 2, Episode 1: “Separation Anxiety.”

It’s Brit’s party and Jax will cry if he wants to on The Valley Season 2

It’s hard to feel bad for Jax. After years of gaslighting and manipulating the people around him, the villain of Bravo is finally reconciling his life choices. But Jax has some coping tools, like his beloved leaf blower, to keep him busy while everything — and I mean everything — is falling apart around him. The gang is fractured, thanks to the fallout of the season finale between Zack, Kristen, and Janet. The episode got off to a quick start as Jax and his bad choices were the topic of conversation. Viewers had little time to settle in as both Brittany and Jax opened up about a recent altercation.

The former bartender reveals that he caught a glimpse of B’s iPad and clocked that she was still talking to her former flame and his BFF, Julian. Bless our Kentucky muffin, who admitted she had sent a sexy video, and naturally, Jax wasn’t too thrilled. In a dramatic reenactment, B explains that Jax “flipped the coffee table, and it hit my knee. It was terrifying.” The mother of one shared that Jax berated her and accused her of cheating, even though they were separated. 

According to Brittany, Jax snapped, and his anger came pouring out. Not only did it scare Brittany, but their son Cruz was in the next room listening to the yelling. Jax admitted that this wasn’t the type of man he wanted to be for his son, claiming, “I don’t want him to see how I’m treating his mother.” Brittany revealed she was at her wits’ end. As Jax shares, they “are so toxic and broken.”  

Jesse is thriving on his own terms

Jesse Lally is living his best life, and evidently, that means organizing your suits by color. Fans get their first glimpse of Jesse in his home preparing a snack for his daughter, Isabella. He and Michelle have been living separately, and co-parenting hasn’t been the easiest. Jesse tells the cameras, “She moved out, and it was like a weight being lifted off my shoulders.” According to Jesse, the separation is not going well, and they argue all the time about everything. Yup, sounds like a divorce. 

Luckily, Jesse and Jax have one another to lean on. Nothing says I’m not over a relationship like throwing a party on the same night as your estranged wife. Brittany wanted to celebrate her newfound freedom with a summer white party, and Jax just wanted to pop her bubble. But let’s be honest; the parties didn’t compare. B’s was catered, and the drinks were flowing. While Jax, Tom Schwartz, Tom’s brother, and some random dudes all joined forces at Jax’s Studio City to talk about how much life sucked. A bunch of Debbie Downers if you ask me. 

Janet tries a power move on Kristen

I think it’s safe to say that these two will never see eye to eye. After insinuating on a podcast that Zack and Kristen almost cost her a full-term pregnancy, Kristen has written the new mom off. The duo seemed to call a truce, but very quickly, the ceasefire ended. Janet is ready for a good night that includes a few cocktails after Season 1 showed her pregnant for the entire time. However, she can’t jump right into that Cosmo just yet as there is still some unfinished business with Kristen. Sadly, Kristen got lumped in with Zack’s “demonic behavior” and was the target of a lot of Janet’s bullying. The two ladies decide to have a sit-down to clear the air. But nothing was resolved. Kristen was looking for a sincere apology without gaslighting, but Janet fell short. 

The mother of one was waiting for Kristen to apologize for her actions but was left gobsmacked. Kristen, in fact, chose to double down, noting everything she said turned out to be the truth. Janet couldn’t hear anymore and ended the conversation after Kristen told her she needed to work on herself. Cameras caught Janet storming off with Jason falling in line quickly behind her. However, no matter how many times he tried to catch up with her, the lawyer was ignored. Clearly, there is more going on than meets the eye. 

Messy Jesse is here to play

I think the biggest storyline this season will be surrounding Jesse and Michelle. These two are not playing nice, and the gloves are off. While at Brittany’s white party (Jax was not invited) we see the first real fight between the Lallys. Firstly, Jesse is appalled by Aaron, his ex-wife’s new man. He also doesn’t love that Aaron feels he can chime in with parental advice. Next, cameras catch Michelle and Jesse chatting about Isabella’s education at the bar.

In a move direct from the divorce playbook, Jesse succeeds in riling Michelle up, into thinking he wants to fight for full custody and to move their daughter to Orange County. Naturally, Michelle isn’t having it, and she claps back. When asked in the confessional about whether this idea was a move to get a rise out of Michelle, Jesse smirks and states, “A hundred percent.” Let the chaos begin!

The Valley is available to stream on Peacock.

Welcome to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 Reunion Part 3 recap. Last time, host Andy Cohen confronted Kyle about her friendship with singer Morgan Wade, while Dorit worked hard to push Sutton’s buttons. Here’s what happened in the RHOBH Season 14 Reunion Part 3. 

What happened in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 Reunion Part 3?

Dorit and Sutton clashed over Dorit’s continuing narrative that Sutton has a drinking problem. Erika shared when she might see her estranged husband, Tom Girardi, again. Finally, Kyle reflected on what went wrong with her marriage. However, before the cast photo could be taken, Garcelle stormed off-stage.

Dorit denies implying that Sutton has a drinking problem during the Season 14 RHOBH Reunion

Boz mentioned that Sutton stated that she “was an angry Black woman basically” during the RHOBH After Show. Sutton said that she called Boz angry because she was yelling. And Boz shut her down. “Don’t say that I was yelling because I don’t yell,” she told Sutton. “You came in strong,” the Georgia peach replied. Boz answered, “I am strong.”

Next up was Dorit’s “joke” about Sutton’s drinking. “What am I doing to make it look like you have a drinking problem,” Dorit asked Sutton. “Keep bringing it up on camera,” Sutton responded. So, Andy pointed out that when someone on Instagram called Sutton “a drunk,” Dorit commented, “#facts.” Oof.

“If I wanted to paint you as an alcoholic, I would be doing a hell of a lot more than what I’ve done,” Dorit said. Then Andy ran through a list of low blows between the women about each other’s physical appearance. “You’re going to hit, I’m going to hit back harder,” Dorit said.

Garcelle reveals her true feelings during the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion

The ladies addressed Erika’s claim that Sutton kicks women when they are down. So, Sutton asked Erika if Kyle and Dorit “kicked her when she was down.” Erika replied that she “cussed them out privately.”

Kyle added, “She didn’t feel we supported her as much as Lisa Rinna did, but we never kicked her when she was down – ever.” Meanwhile, Erika admitted that she accepted Sutton’s apology. What is important to her is intent. Erika felt that Sutton’s intention “was to humiliate, to force a reaction out of…”

A fan wrote in mentioning, “Sutton yells and throws tantrums when people clock her hypocrisy and bad behavior.” When Garcelle was asked for her reaction, she said, “I would say sometimes it seems that way. Yeah. It depends on who’s pushing her buttons.” Sutton looked shocked, but Garcelle’s vibe was that she was over it. “We all have our limits. We all have things that irk us,” she stated. “I’m really pissed right now.”

When asked what upset her, Garcelle continued, “I’m pissed about all of it, honestly. All of it since I’ve sat here on this couch. So, I don’t want to answer any more questions, honestly.” The ladies looked surprised. Is that an option on the reunion menu?

So, Sutton continued to calmly defend herself, stating that she didn’t feel “well-liked” by the group. Then, she shared that she did “feel a little ganged up on, on the boat.” Kyle and Erika admitted that it is awful when you are ganged up on. Of course, we could ask Lisa Vanderpump!

Why is Garcelle so upset during the Season 14 RHOBH Reunion?

Finally, Andy asked Garcelle, “What pissed you off so much?” She replied, “All of it, honestly. I don’t think I ever get any grace in this group. I didn’t feel it today.”

Garcelle continued, “We talk about accountability. I stand by the things that I say, and even though I’m taking accountability for them, it’s not accepted. Not one person had looked at me here and smiled. When we first got here, yes.” She added, “But nothing else.”

The actress and producer admitted that she smiled when she first arrived. “Then it all changed,” she said. Garcelle added, repeatedly, “It’s okay.” It is clearly not okay. During a break, Garcelle told Sutton, “I can’t stand them all.” Yikes!

Where does Erika stand with Tom Girardi?

Erika still has not divorced Tom. Her divorce attorney wants to start working on it. Plus, as Erika noted, Tom is “an incompetent person,” so she isn’t sure how that divorce situation will play out.

Next, Andy brought up Tom’s conviction for wire fraud and how he requested to go to a hospital rather than a prison. When asked if she ever thought of visiting him, Erika gave an unexpected answer.

“I thought of visiting him, and this is going to sound cold, but when he passes away. I don’t know … there is nothing to say to this person because he’s not talking clearly. He’s not there,” Erika explained. “So, there’s nothing for us to say to one another. I’ll never get answers to the questions that I still have. It’s just that it’s so very sad.”

However, when Erika was asked if she thought that Tom was guilty, she gave a cagey response. “It doesn’t really matter what I think. The law does. That’s really where it is,” Erika stated.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast acknowledges Teddi Mellencamp

“I want to take a moment to acknowledge our friend and former housewife, Teddi Mellencamp,” Andy said. “Obviously, we’ve all been concerned for her well-being and were inspired by the outpouring of support that she’s received.” Teddi was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma, with tumors in her brain and lungs.

After Andy asked how Teddi’s spirits were, Kyle replied, “She has a long road ahead of her. She’s a very strong, tough girl. And she has a tremendous amount of love and support around her.” Then, Kyle mentioned that Erika FaceTimed with Teddi, and Sutton added Teddi to her prayer chain. Boz was also praying for Teddi and offered to send food to the hospital and Teddi’s family.

However, Dorit hasn’t reached out yet. And her excuse was lame. “When she’s not in the thick of it, you know, I feel like, is a better time to check on her,” Dorit said. Seriously?

Where do Kyle and Mauricio stand?

Andy asked if either Kyle or Mauricio Umansky had filed for divorce. “No. We’re literally just the same,” Kyle said. She noted that they don’t discuss the future.

Suddenly, Kyle started to cry, but Andy continued to press. “Do you think you’re mourning your old life?” Kyle said, “Listen, I mean, it’s sad no matter what, and it’s weird. You know, you’ve been with somebody 30 years … it’s just sad.” She continued, “I feel sad for my kids, and I feel sad when I look back at how … what a great life we really had.”

While Kyle has no regrets about the separation, she does regret how they let their relationship falter. Kyle also explained that Mauricio’s money and fame “contributed to the downfall of our marriage.” She added that “women are snakes” and were “throwing themselves at him.”

Since Kyle hinted that Mauricio had been unfaithful during the Season 13 reunion, Andy wondered why she acted “obtuse” about it when Sutton brought up infidelity. Kyle explained that she has her daughters, and she’s not there “to throw anybody under the bus.”

Then Andy asked if Kyle knew that Mauricio was seeing somebody before the airport photos dropped. “No, I didn’t know he was seeing anybody. I assumed,” Kyle stated. “And before he moved out and got his own place, I used to see all his messages.” To be clear, this is while they were separated.

Kyle added, “Listen, my day job is a detective. I do know every f*cking crumb.” However, now Kyle has stopped checking up on him.

Garcelle refuses to be part of the RHOBH reunion cast photo

When they were done filming, Andy excitedly announced that they were taking a group photo. Garcelle had mentioned taking one at the beginning of the reunion. “I’m out. I’m not,” she said as she walked off-stage. Andy exclaimed, “For real?”

Garcelle replied, “Nope. I’m not doing it.” Dorit remarked, “That’s really unprofessional.”

“I don’t want to be in the cast photo,” Garcelle responded when asked why she was leaving. Back in her dressing room, Garcelle stated, “They’re all f*cking *ssholes.”

Garcelle added, “I don’t trust them. And they obviously don’t like me.” So, Garcelle made a decision. “It’s been an amazing ride. I’m so grateful for the opportunity, but I’m done,” Garcelle said. “They’re f*cking *ssholes.” Then, she left the reunion and RHOBH.

Meanwhile, onstage, Sutton tried to explain that for Garcelle, it “felt unfair. I don’t quite understand it,” she added. The group decided to take a photo. When Sutton went to find Garcelle to have dinner, she was gone.

 Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is streaming on Peacock.

Following a to-be-continued pause, we are back with our Below Deck Down Under Season 3 Episode 11 recap. “The Shots You Don’t Take” picks up where last week left off, showcasing the aftermath of a fight between Wihan and Harry, Wihan and Johnny, Wihan and Lara, and Wihan and the entire viewing audience in general. Captain Jason now has to intervene, which means plane tickets home are coming. But will this crew react kindly to their newest hires, or can we expect to find additional drama on the horizon? Here is a breakdown of everything that transpired on Below Deck Down Under Season 3, Episode 11.

What happened in Below Deck Down Under Season 3 Episode 11?

Captain Jason fires Wihan and Johnny. Meanwhile, tensions are rising between Lara and Tzarina. Nevertheless, the crew does their best to move forward as two new crew members come on board, shifting their dynamics. But one new hire messes up badly on his first day of work, which might result in another early exit this season on BDDU.

Captain Jason sends Johnny away for a night, bringing him back in the morning for his firing

Captain Jason fears he has a loose cannon on board, so he sends Johnny to a hotel for the night. They will “chat about it in the morning,” Captain Jason remarks. “Yes, sir,” Johnny answers.

Growing concerned for her beau, a “gutted” Alesia calls Wihan, who labels Johnny “crazy.” Everyone then heads to bed, shaken by these events. In the morning, Captain Jason meets with Lara, who explains that Alesia accidentally crawled into bed with Wihan, thinking he was Johnny. Captain Jason brings Alesia to the wheelhouse, telling her she did nothing wrong.

Correct. But Wihan did. He knew Alesia was looking for Johnny. But instead of correcting her bed-crawling antics, Wihan hugged Alesia tightly, relishing his wrong fantasy about being a magnet for all ladies.

Not shockingly, Wihan retells this narrative to Adair differently, trying to say he thought Alesia wanted him, not Johnny. This man is stressful AF. Own something, Wihan. ANYTHING, please.

Then, Lara tells Captain Jason that Wihan also messed with Harry. Captain Jason heads off to interview Harry and then Tzarina. Both equally blame Wihan, not Johnny. Wihan enters the galley, blaming everyone but himself, as Johnny reboards to chat with Captain Jason.

Johnny gets the boot, a fate that he understands and respects. Before his exit, he makes peace with a “heartbroken” Alesia.

Captain Jason calls Wihan to the bridge for another firing

After seeing Johnny off the yacht, Captain Jason calls Wihan to the bridge. Once seated, Captain Jason tells Wihan he had several enlightening conversations that morning with other yachties. Shockingly confused, Wihan launches into a monologue about how helpful and positive he always is, so anyone who speaks poorly is mistaken. Thankfully, Captain Jason interjects, telling Wihan that changes need to happen.

Captain Jason fires Wihan. In his confessional, Wihan again stresses that he did his best, so if anyone is unappreciative, “so be it.” In her interview, Adair acknowledges that Wihan was the problem all along.

Captain Jason calls for the crew to meet in the main salon. He informs them that Johnny and Wihan are gone, and their replacements will follow. Then, they board their vans and head out for a fun day to unwind following this double-firing mess.

At a turtle sanctuary, the crew gushes over baby turtles while Captain Jason arranges for a new deckhand and bosun to arrive by the following morning. He leaves afterward, allowing his crew members time to unwind at a nearby beach.

Tensions mount in the galley as Nate Salmon and Nicolas Cattelan come on board

Harry snags an invite to the preference sheet meeting the following morning. The guests want a mob wives-themed party, which excites Lara and Tzarina. These girls are also excited about their new approaching male crew members. Bosun Nate Salmon arrives first, and he seems chill and competent, which we love.

Deckhand Nicolas Cattelan arrives second. He is green, but Captain Jason is not scared. Following a few Star Trek comparisons regarding his new yacht, we are not afraid either. We like both men (so far).

Alesia is still grieving Johnny. Her head is not in the game, and her hands are on her phone, texting her departed man. Tzarina kindly clocks this as Lara enters, hugging Alesia.

Lara makes a Brady Bunch joke, which Marina fails to understand. Lara explains this old sitcom, describing one of the sisters as a “bit quirky, like Tzarina.” Tzarina overhears, sighing. She then explains that she always wanted to be popular, as the cutest childhood images ever flash by.

Tzarina was hoping she and Lara might bond. But this wish is now slowly dying.

The new and improved deck team is off to a solid start, but drama still exists in the interior department

As the crew prepares for their next charter, Nate is already on the case, helping in the interior like Wihan could never. The all-girls charter arrives at the yacht as the new deck team smoothly guides the vessel away from the dock.

Captain Jason approaches Marina, who jokes with him about his missing socks. Finally, Marina’s humor lands with her boss. Captain Jason finds Lara next, asking her to give Marina a shot at service. Lara says yes, but in her interview, she admits she needs to play her “best cards,” which is not always Marina.

The guests enjoy water toys as Nicolas waves them off, joking under his breath that they cannot see his efforts. As they head off to shower and get ready for dinner, the crew prepares for their mob wives-themed dinner. But Lara does not like the dishes Tzarina chose. They get into a small tit-for-tat as a giggly Nicolas overhears while walking to his cabin.

Despite the plates’ debacle, their unaware guests love their dinner. However, while serving, Lara and Tzarina get into another verbal scuffle over timing, which Captain Jason overhears. Things might get ugly soon, but we will hold out hope that we are wrong.

On deck, Nicolas entertains their guests with drinking games. He is awkward, he candidly notes. But when a guest orders him to take a shot, he complies, which Bri sees. Bri pulls Nicolas in, quietly letting him know of his error.

Nicolas is mad at himself. He is telling on himself tomorrow, he reveals. Hey, at least he’s accountable.

Below Deck Down Under continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.

What happens when a veteran Real Housewife gets fired from the show midseason? The rest of the Housewives have brunch and talk about it. In Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16, Episode 6, “Peace Interrupted,” the group tried to move forward from the mess with Kenya Moore. For some ladies, that’s easier said than done.

What happened in Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16, Episode 6?

After the scandal at the hair spa, the ladies of Atlanta tried to find a path back to normalcy. To make that happen. Kelli planned a Peace Brunch to bring the women together. Meanwhile, Brit had to navigate the emotional aftermath of the scandal. She’s humiliated and possibly losing her insurance license. Kenya might be gone from Season 16, but the ladies aren’t done talking about her. Keep on reading for the breakdown of what went down this week.

48 hours later…

Episode 6 picked up 48 hours after the poster board incident. Brit was sitting at her house with her family, flooding the room with tears over what happened. She said she hadn’t slept in 24 hours and felt shocked, She was also a little salty that she spent $250 on flowers that wound up in the trash.

“She planned this to ruin my reputation,” Brit claimed, before mentioning that she was at risk of losing her insurance license due to the incident.

When asked about the pictures that Kenya displayed at her event, Brit admitted that they were real. Years ago, she let her boyfriend film her in the middle of a sex act. Plus, she said she tried to work as a cam girl, but it didn’t work out. She tried to have all of the photos and videos scrubbed from the internet, but some of them still lingered.

Of course, Brit was devastated by all of this, and she said that her insurance license was at risk because of the public backlash. Her husband’s response to the crisis? He simply said, “Don’t worry about it.”

A debrief at Sterling Hall

As the nucleus of this group, it was up to Shamea to bring everyone together after the scandal at Kenya’s. She assembled everyone to Sterling Hall to debrief on the situation, and it felt like hitting the reset button on Season 16. Everyone condemned what happened and determined that Kenya had gone too far.

With Kenya out of the picture for the remainder of the season, the ladies are left with no choice but to bury this and move on. To help make this happen, Kelli decided to help bring a little fun back to the group by planning a garden brunch. She called it the Peace Brunch, and she wanted it to be a chance for them to shower Brit with love.

Unhappy Father’s Day

This episode took place during Father’s Day, and at Drew’s house, things couldn’t have been more awkward. The cameras picked up as Ralph emerged from the basement to kick off his court-appointed time with the kids. He seemed excited to see the upper level of the house, and more importantly, his children. However, that quickly went left.

Drew asked to speak with Ralph, and she pulled him into another room and started fussing at him about bills. She was like, “You were supposed to call an exterminator!”

Out of all of the things going on in their lives, Drew felt the need to bug Ralph about the Orkin man. It’s unbelievable, and I’m also dying to know what type of pests they have in that home. Either way, the conversation quickly turned into an argument when Drew told Ralph she had too much going on in her life to call the exterminator. It’s a mess.

Bickering at the Peace Brunch

As the reigning Waffle Queen, it made perfect sense for Kelli to host a brunch for Brit to give her a space to talk through her feelings. When the ladies arrived, we learned that they had all spoken to Kenya off-camera about what happened. Brit hated to hear that info, but brunch gave her a chance to share her perspective.

When talking about the situation, Brit claimed that she “lost” her insurance license because of everything going on. Angela made the mistake of asking for more details, and Brit chewed her head off.

“Read the motherf*cking room,” Brit told Angela.

Brit seemingly came to this brunch hoping for everyone to completely disavow Kenya for what she did. Apparently, removing her from the show wasn’t good enough. They also needed to erase her from their memories and never question Brit for the remainder of the season.

Although it’s clear that this group still has some room for growth, Shamea helped put things into perspective and challenged the ladies to move forward with positive intentions. They’ve already twirled down to hell one this season, and now it’s time to get back to the regular scheduled programming.

“If we could just try to focus more on the good, I think we could really move past all of this,” Shamea said.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta continues on Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Welcome to the recap for Summer House Season 9, Episode 9. Last week, Lexi went toe-to-toe with Jesse about what was considered acceptable behavior in a relationship. Shockingly, she didn’t approve of Jesse getting his toe sucked during a foursome or flirting with Ciara. Lindsay also got heated when she found out that Carl had allegedly been DMing Lil before he called off their engagement. Would Lindsay confront Carl this week? Here’s exactly what went down in Summer House Season 9, Episode 9: “Breaking Bread.”

What happened in Summer House Season 9, Episode 9?

The tension between Lexi and Jesse was short-lived. All it took was some dinner and flowers to forgive him for #toegate. However, she did not forget. Meanwhile, Lindsay and Carl performed a show during Shabbat when she confronted him about seeing Lil while they were still together. But Carl had the receipts, proof, and timeline that Lindsay had false intel. And finally, the drama between Paige and Craig continued when Paige admitted to Ciara she wasn’t sure if Craig was her person. But deep down, Paige already knew the answer.

West was not a fan of Jesse and Lexi 

Lindsay and Paige finally had their Step Brothers “Did we just become best friends?”moment during their ride up to the Hamptons. Paige said, “Now that I’m getting deeper into my 30s, I’m like, I don’t owe you sh*t … And I got that from Lindsay.” While Lindsay joked, “It’s been a long time coming, but she couldn’t deny me for that much longer. It’s only a matter of time before we’re best friends, okay?” 

Meanwhile, it was a totally different car ride for West, Lexi, and Jesse. Lexi had folded like a deck of cards and forgave Jesse for toegate. She shared, “You get two chances with me, and if he messes up again, then I probably won’t be as forgiving.” Sure, Jan. Jesse dished that he introduced Lexi to his parents to make up for what had happened. West was horrified. 

At the house, Jesse surprised the group that they would be having Shabbat. And he had all the goodies, like brisket and matzo ball soup. He then shared the news with the guys that he was exclusive with Lexi. West piped in, “They met both sides of the family. He got bullied into doing it.” Clearly, West was not a fan. Carl then announced Lil was a lemon after she gave him one on a date. The two were dunzo.

Lexi filled in the girls Jesse was forgiven after he took her out to dinner and gave her flowers. Make him work for it, girl! She brought up the flirting, and Ciara noted, “Jesse was definitely times ten, and it probably was because you weren’t here.” But no one brought up the fact that the group was shipping them or that Ciara played along.

Shabbat and a show

Paige was feeling the stress from her upcoming Giggly Squad tour. And it was mostly from worrying Craig was a secret hater. She said, “I truly expected my boyfriend to say, ‘This is so exciting, and you should feel so proud’… But that is not the reaction I’m getting.”

Jesse pulled the dad card and made the group put their phones away for Shabbat. A show was about to go down between Lindsay and Carl, and everyone needed to be present.  

The crew then went around the table to talk about their week. Kyle mentioned Amanda gave him a handy on the plane. Lovely. Carl unknowingly opened a can of worms when he announced he was done dating Lil and wanted to see other people. Cue Lindsay! She asked Carl if that was his first date with her, and he said yes. But she wasn’t buying it.

Lindsay said, “It’s come to my attention that you’ve been talking to her since last summer.” Carl admitted he met her parents in the summer but didn’t talk to Lil until the fall. After further grilling, he said he wasn’t messaging her when they were together. However, both Lindsay and Kyle wanted the receipts. Carl said his phone was upstairs. Lindsay snarked, “How convenient.” The rest of the table was loving this exchange. 

She kept it going and said Carl was playing a victim when he told the group he hadn’t been going on dates. Carl denied it and said he could come at her with a list of things she was lying about but didn’t. Oop. A frustrated Kyle urged him again to get his phone. The receipts were now in flight!

Carl’s name was cleared

Carl ran down the stairs with his phone. He said, “There’s the receipts. So, am I a liar or not?” The group was on edge. After a pause, Lindsay confirmed Carl was telling the truth. The DM was in the fall. But what about the parents? Carl guffawed, “Lindsay, I don’t go to soccer games and say, ‘Hey, I met the coolest parents today!’” Everyone burst out laughing. 

Lindsay thanked him for giving her the receipts. And with that, they both got a huge round of applause. Still, there was more drama to be had. 

Lexi shared that if a guy gave her the “immediate ick,” it was over. But she was happy to give Jesse another chance. Kyle wondered if the ick meant toegate. Jesse clarified it was only his “pinky toe.” Because having it be the smallest toe makes it all better.

After dinner, Carl shared he needed to go on more dates to get his groove back, and Imrul agreed. Suddenly, Lexi brought more heat onto Imrul than she ever did to Jesse. She said, “This f*cking guy. Honestly, you’re low-key on my sh*t list.”

Lexi said she was mad that Imrul instigated the toe-sucking. Jesse stood by silently when he was the real culprit for letting it happen in the first place. Paige concluded, “Lexi and Jesse are weird as f*ck.”

Kyle then touched base with Carl about Lindsay. Carl brought up that Lindsay lied about his mom to the media when she said she never reached out to her. Carl claimed, “She’s obsessed with me. Clearly.” And clearly, their feud was not going to be over anytime soon.

Paige debated going to splitsville with Craig

The next morning, Imrul told Jesse his night went pretty chill, and Jesse turned all Judgy McJudgerson. He said, “Glad you have the chilling vibe as well. And not just banging chicks; that’s gross, brother.” Pot meet kettle, anyone?

Carl was having a tough time as it was the anniversary of his brother’s passing. He shared, “Every August will always bring back a lot of emotions … I’m trying my best here to keep it together, but it’s hard.”

Then it was time for Diplo, er, Kyle’s DJ debut in the Hamptons. Kyle was worried it would be low energy because it was a backyard party setting, and he was right. The vibe was more ladies who lunch than day club. But the crew was there to support him.

Ciara had a good heart-to-heart with Carl, and Paige and Amanda shipped them as a couple. Here we go again! Meanwhile, West was happy to get some alone time with Jesse. Jesse told him, “I’m trying to get through today incident-free.” Just keep your shoes on.

Jesse then brought up his concern about Lexi stalking his Insta. She knew who he followed and when. He told Paige, “I really feel like I’m being watched.” Paige sighed. That’s “26 energy” for you. But she had her own problems to worry about.

Paige told Ciara she was anxious because Craig wasn’t supporting her. Ciara noted Paige should think about what she wants instead of what Craig wants. Paige admitted she didn’t want to break up. Still, Ciara wondered if Craig was her person. Paige stated, “I don’t know.”

Summer House continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Survivor 48 Episode 7 has arrived, and in “Survivor Smack Talk,” a long-standing record is broken in the immunity challenge. With not one, but two players sent packing, and only one of them making the Jury, it was an explosive episode. Here’s everything that went down during Survivor Season 48 Episode 7.

What happened in Survivor 48 Episode 7?

Survivor 48 Episode 7 saw the 12 remaining tribemates split into two groups fighting it for immunity. Both groups would go to tribal, but the player who lasted the longest in the immunity challenge would guarantee their entire team a spot on the Jury. They’d also be treated to a DIY P&B session, where they could talk some strategy. Records were broken at the challenge, and strategic conversations were had. All of that and more on Survivor Season 48 Episode 7: “Survivor Smack Talk.”

Mitch panics about his position

After the vote, Mitch is hurt about Charity’s elimination. He was blindsided. “I’m questioning if every conversation I’ve had to this point has been genuine,” he admits. Having voted Sai for the second time, Mitch no longer knows where he stands. He tries to do some damage control with the “cat with nine lives,” but she’s not buying what he’s selling.

Meanwhile, Cedrek’s shocked by the solo vote he picked up. “It was definitely a female’s handwriting,” he tells the group. But, he doesn’t think it was Sai, as the cursive wasn’t her style. Little does he know, Sai wanted to shake him up a bit, and changed her handwriting purposely.

The next day, Shauhin and Joe both chat with Mitch. The tennis coach shares personal stories, knowing that this is the perfect way to bond on Survivor. But Joe knows “keeping him around” could mean he wins “easily.”

Sai also wants a real conversation with Shauhin. She can’t do “fake.” Shauhin recognizes that “she’s the type of person I wanted to work with coming out here,” but is it too late?

The immunity challenge sees the alphas go head-to-head on Survivor 48 Episode 7

For this week’s immunity, the 12 castaways are split into two groups of six. One individual from each group will win immunity, and the player to last the longest in the endurance challenge will win a peanut butter and jelly DIY session for their group, as well as a guaranteed spot for each of them on the Jury. That means the group who loses all of their players first are at risk of going home without their Jury seat.

Just 15 seconds into the challenge, Cedrek drops out. In the moments after, a bunch of players follow, leaving Eva and Joe on one side, with David and Kyle on the other. The titular “Survivor Smack Talk” begins, and David looks like he’s modeling for Men’s Health. Eva drops out, which gives Joe immunity, before Kyle drops, allowing David immunity on his side.

Now, with “The Rock versus Captain America,” the stakes are high. But in the end, David pulls out the win for his team. This also means Mitch is the only player left not to eat food on reward this season. A sad statistic!

Strategy talks pick up before the double tribal council

David feels he’s in the “number one spot,” and wants Cedrek to go home. Mary predicts Sai’s demise, and Cedrek himself realizes he has no alliances within his group of six. But, with Kyle still lacking trust in Shauhin, there may be some wiggle room. “At some point I wanna stop looking over my shoulder,” Kyle admits in confessional. So, he pulls ally Kamilla aside to chat about potentially making a move.

“Kamilla and I are the most undercover duo, I think this game has ever seen,” Kyle says. He might not be wrong. They’re certainly pulling strings at the right time to ensure they make it one step closer to the end. But when Kamilla approaches David in an attempt to frame Shauhin for having an idol, he doesn’t seem to want to budge.

Over with the other group, Sai might have found a scapegoat in Mitch. “I need to plant seeds that Mitch is dangerous,” she says. But he has a Vote Blocker advantage, which could scupper her plan. Luckily for her, Chrissy is also worried about Mitch, and tells Star.

“That would be a smart move because he’s good at challenges,” Star muses. She thinks this season is going to turn into the physical threats versus everybody else – and she might be right. So, what goes down at tribal council?

Survivor 48 Episode 7: Who got voted out?

Sai Hughley and Cedrek McFadden were voted out during Survivor 48 Episode 7. Sai was voted out unanimously by 5-0 after Mitch blocked her vote. Cedrek was voted out by a vote of 5-1 and became the first member of the Jury.

At the first tribal, Chrissy noted how moves will need to be made to deal with those players who have a “story” to tell. But, she noted, “not tonight.” Mitch promised to do what he said he would, and Joe recognized Mitch’s “perfect opportunity to build relationships,” after being on the wrong side of the vote last week.

At the second tribal, Kyle said tonight would show the “difference between short-term and long-term,” solidifying bonds for the rest of the game. David, meanwhile, said playing with “respect” is important now the Jury is active. “Is it cliché to say it’s nothing personal?” asked Mary. Yes, it absolutely is. But it doesn’t make it any less true.

Next week – David loses his damn mind! I’m excited to see the potential meltdown, though I do love Survivor 48’s Captain America.

Survivor 48 continues Wednesdays on CBS at 8/7c.

Welcome to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 Reunion, Part 2 recap. Last time, Garcelle found herself grilled by Dorit, Kyle, and Erika. Plus, Dorit admitted that she doesn’t know if her estranged husband, PK Kemsley, is sober. Now here’s what happened in the RHOBH Season 14 Reunion, Part 2. 

What happened in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14 Reunion, Part 2?

Host Andy Cohen questioned Kyle about her friendship with Morgan Wade. Plus, Kyle sparred with Dorit over the concept of girl code and Kyle’s texts with PK. She even admitted to calling PK during the Oceanside trip. And finally, Dorit pushed Sutton, claiming she was “used to buying people.” That provoked a fiery response from the boutique owner.

Kyle Richards won’t share her entire life in RHOBH Season 14

After the break, Garcelle wanted to speak to Kyle. Let’s be clear. Garcelle was highly annoyed at everyone but Sutton. And after her grilling last week, who could blame her?

“I wanted to say to Kyle that it feels like you told me things off-camera to shut me up,” Garcelle stated. However, Kyle insisted that she said things off-camera “because it was stuff I couldn’t say on camera. And I was just trusting and sharing with you.” So Garcelle thanked her for her explanation.

When Andy brought up how some RHOBH viewers felt that Kyle should share everything, she fired back. “I am not going to, for example, say something that is going to affect my daughters’ lives for a TV show, for a network, for fans, for ratings ever.” She added, “I could have not said anything and just zipped my mouth like a lot of people do here.”  

Once again, Dorit and Kyle confronted each other over how they have different sets of standards for each other. Kyle said that Dorit has different rules for Erika and her. “You’re quick to forgive and let things brush off with Erika and not with me,” Kyle stated. “I let things slide with you more than anyone in this group,” Dorit replied. “And that’s why I got to where I got to.”

Then Erika chimed in. “All I know is, I had PTSD coming here today because I thought, ‘My God. Is somebody going to come in my dressing room and show me a text?’” Roll the footage from the Season 13 RHOBH reunion, when Dorit showed Erika’s Kyle text message. So, Dorit reflected on how once Kyle said that Dorit “exaggerated” their friendship, all the rules went out the door.

Andy Cohen grills Kyle about Morgan Wade during the RHOBH Season 14 Reunion

Kyle admitted that Dorit’s comments about her friendship with Morgan on Watch What Happens Live upset her. Namely, Dorit and Kyle grew further apart the closer Kyle and Morgan became. According to Kyle, Morgan wasn’t the reason that she was moving away from Dorit. So, Kyle apologized.

Still, Dorit believes that because she mentioned Morgan’s name on WWHL, Morgan was angry with Kyle. Instead, Kyle admitted that she felt guilty because she brought Morgan into this reality TV forum “because it causes her anxiety and she doesn’t want to be part of that.”

However, Andy pointed out that Morgan is a singer and performer. Kyle responded that the “Housewives fandom” is “a very different vibe.” Well, Andy was like a dog with a bone. He noted that Morgan’s appearances on RHOBH gave her additional publicity. “Guys, listen, everyone has a different perspective,” Kyle said. “She became a household name,” Dorit remarked.

“But I do just want to point out, putting out a music video that is like, the two of you as lovers, it contributed so mightily to a conversation that was already a runaway train,” Andy said. “And that was totally in her hands.”

Kyle added, “And mine.” Andy continued, “It’s like at some point, you can’t have your cake and eat it, too.” Meanwhile, Sutton whispered, “Was there cake involved in that video?”

Kyle is in the hot seat over texting PK

Right out of the gate, Dorit asked Kyle about the scene where Kyle told Boz that Dorit could “f*ck right off” for wanting to see Kyle’s phone. “Can you just wrap your head around how f*cked up that is?” Dorit asked Kyle. Of course, Kyle wanted to clarify that the text to PK was because of the separation announcement. And Kyle texted Dorit, too. Kyle said, “We really don’t communicate like that. You know that.”

Roll some unseen footage from 2024, when Kyle told Erika, “I mean, PK tells me a lot of stuff.” Oops! Then Andy asked the diamond-holders if anyone felt that Kyle’s text to PK “was just fine.”

No one raised their hand, but Erika spoke up for Kyle. “I took what it said as not talking about Dorit but talking about this show,” Erika explained, and Kyle enthusiastically agreed.

However, Boz called out the fact that it sounded like there were “secrets.” Then Andy asked Kyle how she would feel if she saw a text that Dorit sent to her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, telling him that “he can trust her.”

Kyle admitted, “I understand. It would bother me. I would think the same thing.” She added, “I’m just telling you my intention wasn’t bad.”

When Dorit chided Kyle for not following girl code, Kyle came in hot. “Where was your girl code when you read my text for millions of people to see? That’s breaking friend code,” the actress stated. Well, not for Dorit. “At this point, we were not friends in my mind!” she exclaimed. WOW.

Finally, Dorit reminded Kyle how she went after her when she stormed out of Boz’s wellness event. “No matter what my feelings were about how you hurt me, all that mattered to me was making sure that you were okay,” Dorit said.

When Kyle pointed out that she texted Dorit when they weren’t speaking, she dropped a crystal on the ground. As the ladies freaked out, Andy exclaimed, “That’s bad juju!”

Kyle called PK this season in RHOBH

“Have you texted with PK since?” Andy asked. She did when PK and Dorit’s son Jagger was hospitalized. Still, Dorit was upset that Kyle believed that she had a friendship with PK. In reality, PK tells Dorit “every single thing.” In fact, Dorit knew that Kyle called PK after Oceanside and told him that she and Dorit were arguing. WHAT?

So, Andy asked if Kyle called PK from Oceanside. She admitted that she did, but this was before the whole texting saga. Allegedly, she wanted to give him a heads-up about all the crazy drama.

So, where do these ladies go from here? Kyle would like to move forward, and Dorit would like a private meeting to discuss their relationship. Then, Kyle apologized, and Dorit accepted. That is the best possible outcome at this point.

Two friends of the cast steal the RHOBH Season 14 Reunion

Jennifer Tilly reflected on her first season. “It’s glittery, and it’s glamorous, and then there’s screaming,” Jennifer said with a laugh. After a break, Jennifer whispered to Garcelle, “Do you think Sutton is on some anxiety medications?” Garcelle replied, “We’re mic’d,” and then giggled.

Next, Kathy Hilton came out. Andy asked how it felt to be “called fashion roadkill” at Sutton’s fashion show. Well, she was chatting with Erika’s mom at the time and wasn’t looking at the incoming models. Then, we learned a nugget from Erika. Her name is Erika Nae. Cute!

Cue a flashback of Kathy revealing at her luncheon that she is part-Chinese. After pulling all the information together, Andy asked, “So you heard you were Asian at the Max Mara show?” According to Kathy, a woman looked up Kathy’s birth name on her phone and discovered her Asian ancestry. STOP IT! 

Finally, Andy asked for an update on Kathy and Kyle’s sister, Kim Richards, and whether she moved to Florida. “She’s spending time there. You know … I think she’s doing better,” Kathy said.

Dorit tries to push Sutton’s buttons

Boz insisted that Sutton “weaponized” Dorit’s pain. Then, she doubled down that Sutton doesn’t take accountability. Sutton admitted that she could learn to speak better to others, which Boz commended.

Next up was a clip showing when Dorit shared with the group that her son Jagger asked about her separation from PK. Sutton “abruptly” interrupted and told the group that they needed to leave. According to Sutton, production asked her to move the ladies along and interrupt Dorit. When Sutton said, “I didn’t know how to do it,” Dorit slammed her. “I thought you were Miss Manners,” Dorit said. “So, you should know that that’s rude.”

Sutton admitted, “I did it so poorly. I did it terribly.” However, Dorit wasn’t accepting Sutton’s admission. “You did it deliberately,” the fashion designer stated. “The person that was in this season, who was so vicious, you know with that really beady stare, that you want to really go low. Where is she?” Dorit asked. “She didn’t come today?”

Now, it was time to discuss Sutton’s wallet comment. Kyle thought it was “a terrible comment,” while Garcelle couldn’t defend it. “Sutton can’t defend Sutton,” the Georgia peach chimed in. “You don’t exactly live like the Queen of Sheba. You live on a f*cking main road,” Dorit added. Finally, Dorit dissed Sutton for acting “superior.” Once again, Sutton explained that she doesn’t think she is above anyone.

“And I know you’re used to buying people,” Dorit told Sutton. Meanwhile, Erika’s face lit up. However, Sutton was getting fired up. “Who do I buy, Dorit? What in the world are you talking about? Who have I tried to buy, honey?” she asked.

“Oh, here she comes!” Dorit said.
