One of the most mysterious aspects of The Traitors are murders, where the Traitors must choose a Faithful to sacrifice. While they sometimes target Faithfuls for certain reasons, the majority of murders are random. The Traitors try not to choose people they have visible issues with, to avoid suspicion. Murders are typically done in the privacy of the Turret, but occasionally the Traitors are forced to murder in plain sight.

The recent murder of Yam Yam Arocho on The Traitors Season 4 has caused controversy among fans. Yam Yam’s murder in plain sight has become a meme on social media, but other viewers have taken the event more seriously.

Yam Yam Arocho was murdered in plain sight on The Traitors Season 4

Yam Yam was the second player on The Traitors Season 4 to be murdered in plain sight. The first was Rob Cesternino, who was murdered after Rob Rausch and Lisa Rinna threw a card with his photo into the fire. Yam Yam’s murder was a little more difficult to pull off, as The Traitors had to trick someone into touching an amulet at a special banquet. Lisa wore the amulet and asked Yam Yam to help her fix it. The first player to touch the amulet would be murdered, and unfortunately, Yam Yam fell victim to the trick.

At the start of the banquet, the majority of the Faithfuls were already a bit on edge. The banquet was the perfect place for a murder in plain sight. When Alan Cumming announced that a murder in plain sight had officially taken place, the Faithfuls panicked. They began overthinking everything that had happened, down to who had served the food and cut the meat. Others were concerned over cards with their faces at the head of the table, particularly Kristen Kish, as her card had been pulled by Johnny Weir. While the Faithfuls had several suspicions as to how the murder had taken place, no one suspected the amulet. 

Yam Yam’s exit and Lisa Rinna call out caused controversy

When Alan announced that a murder in plain sight had occurred, he offered a brief solution. There were two antidotes available to drink, which would undo the murder if the murdered player drank them. Chaos quickly ensued, with players fighting to get one of the anecdotes. Kristen got one, after she worried that her card being pulled meant that she was the one murdered. Natalie Anderson drank the other, after she fought hard to get it, strongly believing that she had been murdered. Yam Yam didn’t end up with one of the antidotes, so he still ended up getting murdered. 

After Alan revealed that Yam Yam was murdered, he turned to the group and claimed that Lisa had murdered him. While he didn’t realize he was murdered by touching the amulet, he believed that Lisa kissing him resulted in the murder. As he was taken out of the banquet, he continued to scream that Lisa had kissed him and murdered him. This resulted in everyone turning their attention to Lisa, who had already been suspected of being a Traitor by a few players. After the episode aired, some viewers expressed that they felt it was unfair that Yam Yam was allowed to talk after being murdered, as no other murdered Faithfuls had the chance to do so. Others defended Yam Yam, arguing that it was reasonable under the circumstances.

Should Yam Yam have stayed silent on The Traitors?

At the Round Table following Yam Yam’s murder, Lisa was ultimately banished. Many players based their vote around Yam Yam’s accusation, as they found it to be solid evidence that Lisa was a Traitor. If Yam Yam hadn’t proclaimed Lisa to be a Traitor, it’s possible that Natalie would’ve been banished instead.

While Yam Yam yelling Lisa’s name was controversial, it was ultimately fair gameplay. Murders in plain sight differ from those done in the Turret, and there weren’t any rules that said Yam Yam couldn’t express his suspicions. As a Faithful, Yam Yam wanted to do what he could in his last moments of the game to help his fellow Faithfuls. 

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF YAM YAM’S MURDER IN PLAIN SIGHT ON THE TRAITORS SEASON 4? DO YOU THINK HIS CONFESSION WAS THE MAIN REASON BEHIND LISA’S BANISHMENT? DO YOU THINK HE SHOULD’VE STAYED SILENT ON HIS WAY OUT?

The post The Traitors Season 4 Yam Yam Arocho Controversy Explained appeared first on Reality Tea.

The Traitors Season 4 is in full swing, with two Traitors already having been banished. Season 4 is about halfway finished, and several players have emerged as threats. At the moment, both Traitors and Faithfuls have a good chance of winning the game. While it’s still anyone’s game to win, some players have a better shot than others.

Rob Rausch

Rob Rausch has received tremendous praise for his performance as a Traitor on Season 4. Throughout the season, almost no one has suspected Rob of being a Traitor. He’s played a lowkey game and has perfectly disguised himself among the Faithfuls. Rob has built an alliance with a group of Faithfuls after receiving the Dagger advantage in a recent mission. 

The only person with whom Rob is on bad terms is his fellow Traitor, Candiace Dillard Bassett. Candiace fiercely defended their fellow Traitor Lisa Rinna after the majority of the Faithfuls became suspicious of her. Rob, on the other hand, voted for Lisa to be banished after he realized that the majority of votes would be for her. This was a smart move on Rob’s part, as it didn’t make it look like he was defending a Traitor. Candiace, however, has played a messy game and could easily become the next Traitor caught. If Rob continues to fly under the radar, he could very well make it to the end as the last Traitor standing. As long as he remains on good terms with the other Faithfuls, he could easily win the game.

Kristen Kish

Kristen Kish started the season off as a quiet player; however, she has quickly proven herself to be one of the most strategic Faithfuls. While she wasn’t right about her theory of Colton Underwood being a Traitor, she was smart enough to not speak up too much at the Round Table without being sure. Since the Traitors know that Kristen is suspecting of others, they will likely choose not to murder her. No one has suspected Kristen of being a Traitor, so she also likely won’t be banished. 

If a group of Faithfuls gets to the end and wins, it’s very likely that Kristen could be among them. She’s made a good circle of friends among the Faithfuls, and nearly everyone trusts her. While Rob has a great chance of winning as a sole Traitor, Kristen could win if he ends up getting banished at some point. 

Johnny Weir

Johnny Weir is another Faithful who has a decent shot of winning the game. Like Kristen, Johnny is well established among the Faithfuls. He is friends with almost everyone, and no one has suspected him of being a Traitor. Johnny’s not in any danger of being banished, so as long as he doesn’t get murdered, he could make it to the end.

So far, Johnny is the only Faithful who has briefly suspected Rob of being a Traitor. He confessed to Candiace that he is suspicious of both Colton and Rob. Since Candiace is now determined to get rid of Rob, she will likely fight to keep Johnny in the game. While they likely won’t get enough people to banish Rob anytime soon, Johnny’s suspicions could be enough to help him get to the end. 

Natalie Anderson 

Natalie Anderson has played an interesting game as a Faithful on Season 4. She stayed under the radar until recently, when she fought to get an anecdote at the banquet to save her from possible murder. This resulted in Natalie receiving several votes at the Round Table, but Lisa was ultimately banished over her. 

The suspicion around Natalie will likely cause Candiace and Rob to keep her around as opposed to murdering her. However, with the game nearing an end, it’s likely that attention at the Round Table will shift to other players instead. The majority of the players understand that Natalie only fought for the anecdote out of paranoia, which makes it more likely that she is a Faithful than a Traitor. If Natalie makes it to the end, she has a good chance of winning with a group of Faithfuls.

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.

The Valley: Persian Style is making waves with its anticipated Bravo debut. The series premiere tallied approximately 2.1M total viewers across platforms within seven days of its debut. On Peacock, it ranks as Bravo’s second most-watched series premiere of all time in MP7. It looks like viewers are loving the tight-knit group of Persian friends navigating life in the Valley.

The Valley: Persian Style is Bravo’s second-best series debut on Peacock

The Valley: Persian Style was first announced last year, with the trailer officially premiering at BravoCon 2025. The show, a Shahs of Sunset reboot, follows Reza Farahan, Mercedeh Javid, and Golnessa GG Gharachedaghi and their new group of friends.

There is lots of new drama, fourth wall breaks, messy moments, and a brand new name for Mercedeh Javid that honors her Persian roots. Viewers are loving watching the group juggle their marriages (and pre-divorce problems), thriving careers, and relationship cracks between significant others and friends.

The show is deeply rooted in the cast’s Persian culture and values. Emotions often take over as the fiery personalities of the stars react to the highs and lows of life. Several episodes have aired, and the show is already living up to its promised drama and exciting moments.

According to Deadline, the series premiere brought in big numbers, according to NBCUniversal. It also generated 5.5M social media views on its premiere day. The other reality television show to debut higher on Peacock is The Traitors. The reality competition show is currently streaming Season 4, with a crazy cast of Faithful and Traitors.

The Valley: Persian Style airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream on Peacock the next day.

The Traitors Season 4 is officially here! In recent years, The Traitors has quickly established itself as one of the best reality competition shows on television. The first three episodes of Season 4 were filled with shocking twists and turns, which made it an enjoyable watch. However, certain aspects of Season 4 have felt a bit off. 

Donna Kelce was one of the most anticipated players this season. As the mother of Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce, and future mother-in-law of Taylor Swift, Donna has become quite popular. When she was announced for Season 4, viewers were elated. However, her time on the show took a different turn than most fans were expecting, resulting in her early departure. Donna got the short end of the stick on Season 4, which was somewhat frustrating to watch.

Donna Kelce was put at a disadvantage by being assigned the role of The Secret Traitor on The Traitors Season 4

Season 4 features a new twist that involves one player being chosen as The Secret Traitor. Unlike the other Traitors, The Secret Traitor has to work alone and can’t share their identity with anyone. They also can’t know the identity of the other Traitors. The creation of The Secret Traitor gives less power to the other Traitors, as the Secret Traitor gives them a shortlist of names that they can choose from to murder. At the beginning of Episode 1, Donna was chosen as The Secret Traitor. However, this wasn’t revealed to viewers until her banishment in Episode 3. 

Donna’s position as The Secret Traitor worked against her in several ways. Since the other Traitors couldn’t know of her identity, they weren’t able to help defend her. If Donna could’ve worked with the rest of the Traitors, she could’ve become allies with them and worked to banish others. Instead, Donna was isolated, which ultimately affected her game. Donna couldn’t work with anyone honestly, which contributed toward her early banishment.

Donna seemed to have a target on her back for several reasons out of her control

Donna’s role as The Secret Traitor wasn’t the only thing working against her in Season 4. The Traitors is typically a show that features reality television stars, with the exception of a few contestants. It’s not uncommon to see relatives of famous people compete, as Zac Efron’s brother Dylan Efron emerged victorious on Season 3. However, Donna came into the game with a much bigger reputation than Dylan. Zac Efron has been out of the spotlight for a while, but the Kelce family is currently as popular as ever. It would be easy for the rest of the cast to assume Donna would be made a Traitor, making her game too predictable.

In addition to her popularity, Donna’s low-key personality raised suspicion from several players as well. Donna made a few connections, but struggled a bit with the social aspect of the game. She tried to lay low, which ended up being a mistake as the other players found it odd that she wasn’t trying to talk game. While part of it was strategy, part of it was simply Donna’s personality. She’s popular, but she’s not the type to be the loudest or most outgoing in the room. 

Donna wasn’t able to perform in all of the missions

Eagle-eyed viewers also noticed that Donna didn’t actively participate in all of the missions before being banished. The second mission of the season was a grueling physical task. Players had to pull carriages all the way back to the castle, while stopping to collect money for the prize pot along the way.

Donna was nowhere to be seen during the challenge, suggesting that she didn’t participate. While it’s understandable that Donna didn’t do the challenge because of her age, it still put her at a disadvantage in the game. If production wanted to include Donna, they should’ve made challenges that would be fair to all of the contestants, regardless of age. While fans had high hopes for Donna this season, her journey unfortunately ended sooner than expected.

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF DONNA ON THE TRAITORS SEASON 4? DO YOU THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE SECRET TRAITOR? 

The post How Donna Kelce Got The Short End of The Stick on The Traitors Season 4 appeared first on Reality Tea.

The Traitors Season 4 has officially kicked off and is already proving itself to be an unpredictable season. Season 4 featured a new twist, where one Traitor was chosen to be the Secret Traitor. The role went to Donna Kelce, who ended up being banished at the second Round Table. Luckily for the other three Traitors, they’ve been able to fly under the radar. This season’s Traitors include Real Housewives alums Candiace Dillard Bassett and Lisa Rinna, along with Love Island USA star Rob Rausch.

While all of the Traitors have brought something unique to the season, Rob has quickly emerged as one of the strongest players on Season 4. After the first three episodes came out, fans all over the Internet declared Rob as their immediate favorite. While Candiace and Lisa are certainly good Traitors, Rob has already established himself as the best.

Rob Rausch is a lowkey member of the cast, which helps him to disguise his identity in The Traitors Season 4

Rob was an excellent choice for a Traitor, given his well-positioned place in the game. Every season on The Traitors, there tends to be certain groups of players. One of these groups is the gamers, who tend to come from either Survivor or Big Brother. Since these shows involve a lot of strategy, these players are sometimes seen as coming in with a bit of an advantage. The first three seasons of The Traitors each featured two gamers as Traitors. It’s nice to see someone like Rob come from a show like Love Island and be chosen as a Traitor, as dating show contestants usually aren’t chosen as Traitors. Several of the gamers have already raised suspicion, which helps to take attention away from Rob.

The other big group of contestants is typically the Real Housewives. Season 4 began with five Real Housewives, which is nearly a fourth of the entire cast. It’s almost too obvious that at least one is a Traitor, especially since no Bravo stars were Traitors during Season 3. With Candiace and Lisa both being Traitors, it’s likely that one of them could potentially get banished soon based simply on their show. This helps Rob to easily hide behind them, as he isn’t as likely to be suspected of being a Traitor. It’s quite possible that Candiace and Lisa could both get punished, which could leave Rob as the sole Traitor who wins in the end.

Rob has already proven himself to be a strategic Traitor

As soon as he was chosen to be a Traitor, Rob got right to work on strategy. During the first mission, he didn’t object to being put up for murder. He put up a good act to look nervous, which helped him to look like a Faithful. Rob’s also built good relationships in the castle and has taken the time to talk with people, which is important. 

Rob’s best strategic moment so far was his efficient handling of the murder in plain sight. While Candiace led a Conga line, Rob managed to slip away and grab the shortlist without being spotted by anyone. He then proceeded to decide who to murder with Lisa over a game of chess, while several Faithfuls were in the room. The plan went off without a hitch, and no one suspected Rob or Lisa. This shows how seriously Rob is taking the game and proves that he is strategic enough to make it to the end.

Rob is extremely likable and it’s nice to have Love Island representation in the turret

In addition to being an excellent Traitor, Rob is also a very likable player to watch. He’s popular from his time on Love Island, and brings something different to the show. It’s always nice to have likable players to root for in the turret. After some recent Traitors have been controversial with fans, Rob is a huge breath of fresh air.

It’s also nice to see a Traitor from Love Island for the first time. Traitors are historically chosen from the same type of contestants, which gets boring after a while. It’s nice to see Season 4 mix things up. There haven’t been many of Love Island contestants on The Traitors, which makes Rob’s run as a Traitor even more enjoyable to watch. 

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.

TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ROB SO FAR ON THE TRAITORS SEASON 4? DO YOU THINK HE COULD WIN THIS SEASON?

The post Rob Rausch is the Best Traitor on The Traitors Season 4 — Opinion appeared first on Reality Tea.

The Traitors Season 4 is almost here, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Over the last few years, The Traitors has quickly become one of the most popular competition shows on reality television. 

While the majority of contestants are Faithfuls, a few select players are chosen to be the Traitors. These players must choose which contestants to “murder”, without the others catching on to their identity. If any of the Traitors make it to the end, they get to claim all of the prize money acquired throughout the season for themselves. While everyone in the castle plays the game, the Traitors are the most central part of it.

Who should be the Traitors on Season 4?

There are 23 celebrity contestants on The Traitors Season 4, all of whom bring something to the game. While some of the contestants would make excellent Faithfuls, others have the potential to truly thrive as Traitors. These four players in particular could make amazing Traitors if chosen for the role.

Mark Ballas

Mark Ballas is a professional dancer on the competition series Dancing with the Stars. He’s won the show three times and is considered one of the best pros in the history of the show. Mark’s most recent appearance was on DWTS Season 34 with his partner Whitney Leavitt. They placed sixth, falling just short of the finale.

While DWTS isn’t a strategic show in the same way as The Traitors, there is some strategy involved. Mark has a tendency to go outside the box to make his dances unique and memorable. He often plays it more dangerously than the other pros, which could make him an interesting Traitor. The only other DWTS pro to ever do The Traitors was Maks Chmerkovskiy. He was a Faithful and was banished early on. It would be fun to see a DWTS pro play a Traitor and potentially go further into the game.

Donna Kelce

Every year, The Traitors features a few players who aren’t from reality shows. This year, one of those contestants is Donna Kelce, the mother of Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce. Donna has gained recognition in recent years, with Travis now being engaged to superstar Taylor Swift. 

Donna may be perceived as an underdog this season, but she could actually become a threat. Last year, Dylan Efron won Season 3, after mainly being known as the brother of Zac Efron. Donna could end up playing a similar game and flying under the radar if she isn’t perceived as a threat. If Donna is a Traitor, this would make her game even more shocking and satisfying. No one would expect Donna to be a Traitor, which is why she’d make a great one. 

Yam Yam Arocho

Yam Yam Arocho is one of several Survivor players who will be on Season 4. He won Survivor 44 in a landslide and is one of the most beloved winners of the Survivor New Era. Yam Yam excelled at playing a social game on Survivor, but he was certainly strategic as well. His experience on Survivor will definitely come in handy on The Traitors, especially if he is chosen to be a Traitor. 

On Survivor 44, Yam Yam worked closely with Carolyn Wiger, who was a Traitor during Season 3. It would be fun to watch how Yam Yam approaches being a Traitor compared to Carolyn. Survivor players often make good Traitors due to their competition and strategic backgrounds, and as a recent winner, Yam Yam would be a perfect choice. 

Dorinda Medley

Dorinda Medley is the only returning cast member this season, after her very brief run on Season 3. During Season 3, Dorinda was the first player murdered, making her stay in the castle very short. Dorinda was a Faithful, but it would be fun to watch her as a Traitor for her second time around.

Being a Traitor would be the perfect opportunity for Dorinda to redeem herself after her early loss in Season 3. Dorinda is sassy and smart, which could help her to do well as a Traitor. While Dorinda could end up with a target on her back for being a returning player, being a Traitor could help her to overcome it. 

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.

2026 is about to come in with a bang. Peacock just dropped all of the details on the return of its Emmy-award-winning gem, The Traitors. Alan Cumming has a new batch of stars in his castle, and they’re kicking things off with not one, not two, but three new episodes all at once. Here’s how it’s all going to shake out.

The Traitors Season 4 debuts with three episodes on Peacock in January

Peacock just dropped the trailer for Season 4 of The Traitors, giving us our first glimpse at the latest celebrities to take on the game. Among some of the stars this season are five Real Housewives, two Olympians, and one washed-up actor who we wish had never been cast.

The trailer also gave us a look at Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce. She’s just smiling through the chaos, while Lisa Rinna complains about a “firing squad.” Thoughts and prayers to both of them.

Along with the trailer, Peacock also confirmed the air dates for The Traitors Season 4. It premieres on Thursday, January 8, at 9/8c with three “supersized” episodes.

On Thursday, January 15, Peacock will drop another two episodes of The Traitors. That means that in a matter of two weeks, we’re going to have five new episodes of The Traitors to watch. Plan accordingly. New episodes will air once a week thereafter.

The Traitors Season 4 finale airs on February 26, immediately followed by a reunion. There’s no word on who will host the reunion, but we’d bet money that Andy Cohen will be back in that season.

Season 4 of The Traitors comes on the heels of an epic night at the Primetime Emmy Awards earlier this year. Among their five wins, Season 3 took home awards for Outstanding Reality Competition Program and Outstanding Directing for a Reality Program.

With that in mind, Season 4 has some big expectations, and we have a feeling they’re going to live up to them.

The Traitors returns to Peacock on Thursday, January 8 at 9/8c.

Love Island Games Season 2 is right around the corner. With 14 known cast members and at least three familiar voices in the hosting, post-production, and narrating departments, this second feisty season is sure to be the next must-watch series on Peacock.

Starring as the host is Ariana Madix. She is the current host for Love Island USA. Her successes here were many, so it makes sense that she is now taking over the hosting duties for this spin-off series as well.

Maura Higgins hosted Love Island Games in Season 1. Maura is not losing her spot here. Instead, she will continue to host the Love Island Aftersun series.

Meanwhile, comedian Iain Stirling is returning as the narrator. But what about the cast of Love Island Games Season 2, and are there any Bombshells arriving at the villa?

Love Island Games Season 2 cast guide

In a newly released reel from Peacock, each of the 14 returning Love Island stars from across this massive franchise reintroduces themselves to the camera. Cast members from Love Island USA, Love Island Belgium, Love Island Nederland, Love Island UK, Love Island Australia, Love Island Malta, and finally, Love Island France, are present.

Overall, these ridiculous, rowdy, and (reproductionally) ready stars are eager to start this mess. And soon, the following competitors will do this very thing, once Love Island Games Season 2 debuts on Peacock.

Andrea Carmona

Andrea Carmona starred on Love Island USA Season 6. In the trailer for Love Island Games Season 2, she jokes, “Last season I kinda got robbed — pun intended (Rob is the name of the man who did her dirty). But it’s only up from here for me.”

Andreina Santos

Andreina Santos entered Love Island USA during Season 7, playing the role of the fifth Bombshell. “Guess who’s back? Now I know what to do, baby. I’m ready to play the game,” she stressed in the trailer, “But I also just want to be loved.”

Charlie Georgiou

Charlie Georgiou deserves his spot on Love Island Games Season 2. During Love Island USA Season 7, Charlie had just solidified his connection with a female Islander. But in a shocking twist, this connection got ripped from his hands by the voting public. On Day 11, Charlie got dumped from the villa.

Christopher Seeley

Christopher Seeley chose to end his relationship during the recent Love Island USA Season 7 finale. But now, “May the best man win! Me! I’m the man. I don’t give a f*ck about stepping on toes, I’ll step on whoever.”

Garbi Denteh

Garbi Denteh was the runner-up on Love Island Belgium Season 4. But we are not sure how she will fare on Love Island games, as she admits in the trailer that she is “not a very sporty person. But you don’t see me coming. I’m an underdog, I’m gonna come for you!”

Isaiah Campbell

Isaiah Campbell is a player, but he still managed to snag second place during Love Island USA Season 4. Now, he jokes, “I’m here for love. The only thing I’m nervous about is the challenges. But we’re gonna do it— in a speedo!”

Joshua Goldstein

Joshua Goldstein appeared on Love Island USA Season 3, but after learning that his sister had passed away, he promptly left the villa behind. Thankfully, he is doing well enough to give this franchise another go, saying, “I got the brains, I got the looks, I got the banter, as they say. It’s game day, baby. Let’s go!”

Vickala “Kay Kay” Gray

Vickala “Kay Kay” Gray willingly left the villa during Love Island USA Season 5. When her man got dumped, she walked too, but since this relationship failed to last, Kay Kay feels ready to “finally find my man. It’ll be the ultimate win if I find love and we win the money together.”

Kendall Washington

Kendall Washington has already starred on Love Island USA Season 6 and Love Island: Beyond the Villa. And now, he wants us to “Hand me my crown.” This king feels eager to start his search for his next “real and authentic” partner.

Lucinda Strafford

Lucinda Strafford starred on Love Island UK Season 7 and Love Island Australia Season 5. As she notes and then asks, “I’ve done UK, I’ve done Australia, and now it’s like a worldwide one. So [will my] third time [be] lucky?”

Mert Okatan

Mert Okatan appeared on Love Island Netherlands/Belgium during Seasons 2 and 3. In this next showing, Mert hopes to win the entire bag, explaining, “Before Love Island, I was a professional soccer player. So I’m naturally competitive, I hate to lose.”

Nicola Gauci Borda-Warr

Nicola Gauci Borda-Warr is known for her appearances on Love Island Malta Season 1. This quirky contestant has since “been preparing so hard” for Love Island Games that she “dream[s] about chickens!” Likewise, she jokes, “I went to the gym three times!”

Solène Favreau

Solène Favreau is currently making her final waves on Below Deck Season 12. But before that, she starred on Love Island France. Solène loves a good hookup session. But hard work is not necessarily her thing. So, it’s anyone’s call how she might fare on this competitive series.

Tyrique Hyde

Tyrique Hyde starred on Love Island UK Season 10. Now, Tyrique is coming in hot with an agenda to win. “If I find a girl that I like and she’s sh*t at challenges, I’m gonna weigh up how much I like her. Feelings change, money never changes.”

Does Love Island Games have Bombshells?

Love Island Games Season 1 included the arrival of many Bombshells. So, fans are now asking, will there also be Bombshells during Love Island Games Season 2? Well, USA Today says yes.

According to this outlet, “several more singles will enter the villa to shake things up,” just as they do in typical seasons of their namesake series, Love Island. Additionally, these Bombshells will sporadically arrive at the villa throughout the course of filming. Their main goal, as always, is to form connections with their desired Islanders, whether they are single or not.

In Season 1 of this competition-based series, 14 stars entered the game as Bombshells. Now, if you ask us, Solène has a very high chance of being one of these late arrivals, because her showings on Below Deck fit the exact bill of a zero f*cks given temptress. Likewise, Solène does not have any airtime in the cast reel, which further nods towards her likely later arrival.

Either way, Solène will nail any role on this series. That is, as long as there are no stairs, and also, no low-hanging objects in her path. IYKYK.

Love Island Games is available to stream on Peacock.

TELL US – ARE YOU EAGER TO WATCH THIS CAST ON LOVE ISLAND GAMES SEASON 2? DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE CONTESTANT?

The post Love Island Games Season 2 — Cast and Bombshells Guide appeared first on Reality Tea.

The reunion for Love Island USA Season 7 has officially dropped on Peacock. We watched it, as expected, noting several key details that made us say ah. The tapping for this reunion happened on August 12 in New York City. At its helm were Ariana Madix and Andy Cohen, two Bravo-based stars who stand on business, even when co-hosting a messy group of Islanders like these.

Thankfully, most of the Season 7 cast members were in attendance for this tell-all sit-down special. Well, minus the two who lost their spots midseason after their past online slurs went viral. As Andy and Ariana chatted and cringed with the stars of Love Island Season 7, three main takeaway moments materialized. But the first one already has us shaking our heads, because, with some of these pairings, you really never know what each new day will bring.

Bryan Arenales set the record straight following rumors that he cheated on Amaya Espinal

Did Bryan Arenales cheat on Amaya Espinal? At the reunion, Bryan said no, he is an innocent man. Despite the leaking of a video that showed him living his best life alongside other women, Bryan stood ten toes down on his innocence at the reunion.

People are only trying to “throw any hate my way,” Bryan explained. “And within the cheating video, the hosting—I got paid to be there. I used to bartend back in the day. I had a lapse of judgment, and we’ve talked about it,” he added.

When Andy sought clarification about his “lapse of judgment” comment, Bryan clarified his statement. “Pouring shots around, giving the crowd shots and stuff like that,” he said.

Then, proving his point, or perhaps just sticking up for their romance, Amaya clocked in to show Bryan her support. “We definitely spoke about it. I’m not a woman [willing to] be with someone who doesn’t respect me. So, if I’m with him and still with him, it’s clearly because the relationship dynamic is healthy and great,” Amaya stressed.

However, this cast is known for its drama. So it is only natural that one new detail has already materialized in this text-fueled chat. Mere hours before the reunion for Love Island Season 7 dropped on Peacock, Bryan and Amaya unfollowed each other. At this point, neither party has spoken about their current status.

Chris Seeley and Huda Mustafa continued to fight at the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion, but Huda has a new man

Chris Seeley and Huda Mustafa parted ways during the finale episode of Love Island Season 7. During the reunion, Andy asked the former couple how they felt seeing each other again following their breakup. “Weird, very weird on my end,” Chris answered. “I’m fine… We just weren’t a good match, [but] it’s okay,” added Huda.

Huda ended things with Chris in a moment that felt very off the cuff for this couple. Therefore, Chris has certain feelings about ever maintaining a friendship with his ex, since “She’s had a month to apologize, [but] she waited until two or three days before today to reach out. I took that as, ‘I know why you’re doing it. I can’t respect it,'” he stressed.

Caring little, Huda now has a new man in her life. But when Andy asked Huda about her fresh mystery piece of meat, Huda quipped, “I can’t speak about my relationships outside the villa.” When pressed further, Huda would only say that “legal reasons” were behind her silence.

Andy quickly grew frustrated while Huda stayed collected. When he leaned in even further for this tea, Huda would only state that Netflix was behind her quietness, so she is “not allowed to speak on it, unfortunately. I’m sorry.”

Thankfully, we already know this dirt. Several weeks ago, Huda made her red carpet debut with Louis Russell, a former contestant on Too Hot to Handle. So, there’s that.

What happened between Huda Mustafa and Chelley Bissainthe during the heart rate challenge?

Chelley Bissainthe would never label Huda a girl’s girl. Before leaving the villa, Chelley and Ace Greene cemented their relationship. But while they were still in the throes of figuring their romance out, Huda took her antics a step too far, at least where Chelley is concerned. And during the reunion for Love Island Season 7, we saw exactly what ticked Chelley off concerning her former friend, Huda.

During the controversial Heart Rate challenge, aimed to elevate the heart rates of their chosen suiters, Huda performed a sexually suggestive dance on top of Ace as Chelley watched on from a nearby spot. However, during the reunion, everyone saw an extended cut scene from this challenge. And now we all know that Huda took her antics too far. Thankfully, Huda does as well.

This new clip showed Huda seemingly licking Ace over the top of his boxers. Then, we saw Huda twerking her stripped-down arse in his face after moving things to a more comfortable spot, the floor. In response to this scene, Huda cheekily admitted during the reunion that she “took it a step too far for certain people.”

Huda also made sure to note that “Everything was consensual. There were no limitations, and we all made that very clear at the beginning of the challenge.” But Chelley was not there to hear her excuses, stating, “I don’t feel like I have to sit here and be like, ‘Hey, don’t lick the person I [like over their] dick.’ It’s just an invisible boundary, where I don’t have to say that.'”

Despite this salacious storyline, Chelley and Ace are still together.

Love Island USA is available to stream on Peacock.

The post Love Island USA Season 7 Reunion: The Biggest Reveals appeared first on Reality Tea.

Last night, Kelly Clarkson debuted her newest series, Songs & Stories With Kelly Clarkson. At her side were The Jonas Brothers, Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Kevin Jonas, who sang and chatted with Kelly like old friends (which they are). This lovely, short special airs on NBC, with four episodes in total. Each episode contains entertaining musicians, all ready to engage in intimate conversations with Kelly about their shared and personal journeys in the music industry.

During each sit-down, Kelly offers her viewers a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the music that shaped each artist’s career. As likely expected, each artist will also perform unplugged musical arrangements. Additionally, Kelly and her band will also perform acoustic performances in between each storytelling session.

After seeing the musicians scheduled to appear, alongside the ones that already aired in Episode 1, you can consider us seated for her remaining three drops on NBC. Here is everything you can expect to see on these episodes of Songs & Stories With Kelly Clarkson, alongside everything that happened in Episode 1.

Where to watch and stream Songs & Stories With Kelly Clarkson

Songs & Stories With Kelly Clarkson airs on NBC every Tuesday for the next three weeks. Episode 1 already premiered, as mentioned, on Tuesday, August 19. Moving forward, all remaining episodes of this series air on August 26, September 2, and September 9. Regarding the timeslot, viewers can tune in live at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

As Songs & Stories broadcasts on NBC, spectators will need either a satellite, cable, or live TV streaming service that airs this chosen network. However, should any of these live broadcasts fall at a time inconvenient to your schedule, each episode will also be available to stream on Peacock the day after it airs on NBC. Peacock is no longer offering a free trial period. Instead, you would need to buy one of their plans, which start at $7.99 per month.

In the first look reel posted by NBC, Kelly explains that “there is a story behind every song,” which is the entire point of this storytelling series. As her fans know, Kelly has many stories that may come up in this series. But, to note, the passing of her ex-husband happened after this series wrapped. So, minus any last-minute additions from her production team, this tragic event will likely not be a topic she details on Songs & Stories With Kelly Clarkson.

The Jonas Brothers joined Kelly Clarkson on Songs & Stories Episode 1

The Jonas Brothers appeared in Episode 1, marking them as the first musical guests on Songs & Stories with Kelly Clarkson. During their conversations, Nick reminded Kelly that he and his brothers opened for her in 2005. Kelly had forgotten this detail from her past, joking, “I feel like I just got really cool.”

In response, Nick revealed that “No one cared about us in 2005. We were just coming up,” he explained. So, “to get other gigs, we listed the other acts that we’d opened up for,” he noted, revealing that her name “helped us get a lot of gigs after that.”

But in 2013, the band parted ways. “I think we kind of mutually wanted to go do our own thing,” Joe said. “We individually wanted to do that at separate times. But I think, ultimately, it was the best decision we could have made,” he clarified, as Nick and Kevin agreed.

Then, Kelly joined the brothers in an acoustic set of their hit song, Year 3000, blurting her name out in the part that says, well, her name. Between her perfect harmonizing (as always) and the fun, light conversations, the entire first episode of Songs & Stories felt like a fever dream from our childhoods. And we loved every second.

Songs & Stories With Kelly Clarkson continues with more great guests

Three episodes of Songs & Stories With Kelly Clarkson now remain. And in each of these episodes, the following musical icons will appear.

On the August 26th episode, Gloria Estefan will take the stage with Kelly. These ladies have shared a stage before, as Gloria once appeared as a guest on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Likewise, Kelly often covers Gloria’s songs as part of her Kellyoke segment on this series, so we know their acoustic sets will be off the charts in this second episode of Songs & Stories With Kelly Clarkson.

Then, on the September 2nd episode, Teddy Swims will guest star alongside Kelly. Like Gloria, Teddy has also visited Kelly on The Kelly Clarkson Show. When they harmonized his hit song, Lose Control, their powerful voices combined, fans loved it. I can only imagine how well Kelly and Teddy will fare during this third episode of her new series.

Finally, on the last episode of Songs & Stories With Kelly Clarkson, airing during the September 2nd episode, Lizzo will do her hair toss and check her nails before emerging onstage alongside her peer, Kelly. Again, like every other star appearing on this series, Lizzo has also guest-starred on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Their powerful duet of Lizzo’s hit song, Still Bad, left me wanting more collabs between Lizzo and Kelly. Now, I will soon get my wish via this final episode of Songs & Stories With Kelly Clarkson.

If you cannot tune in live, Songs & Stories with Kelly Clarkson is streaming on Peacock.
