The Valley: Persian Style has picked up major ratings, and it’s not a surprise. This cast has been bringing friendship feuds, relationship drama, and all-around gossip each and every week. Think Shahs of Sunset, 2.0. We’re not even halfway into the season, so buckle up and enjoy the ride.

What Happened on The Valley: Persian Style Episode 6?

The sixth episode has arrived and it picks up after last week’s dinner and a show. Sky made a lot of enemies among the cast after going on a rant about wanting to move. Can this friend group make amends? Here’s everything that happened on The Valley: Persian Style Episode 5, “Desert Storm”.

We are never getting back together

Persian night continues and Sky has just stormed off from the dining table and instantly starts packing. While Bamshad says that she acted out of character, he doesn’t make any effort to chase after her. Finally, though, he comes to his senses and goes to check on her. By then, she’s over it and calls everyone “pieces of sh*t”. They quietly leave the villa without saying goodbye.

This exit brings the chaotic dinner to an end, and Reza and his date Courtney retire to his bedroom. Golnessa and Adam sneak and try to get a peak of the two from his bedroom window. And, let’s just say, the heat didn’t die down after Sky left.

Morning comes and Courtney is still at the house. Adam and GG take time to get to know her and give their stamp of approval. It was a big waste of time, though, as RJ says that he had fun, but he’s already done with their relationship. Yikes. But hey, he did say that he’s a retiring playboy. It takes time.

Back at home, Sky is fuming with Bamshad for not sticking up for her at the dinner table. He admits that he froze and regrets it, but that doesn’t make it right. She feels abandoned when she needs backup and her husband doesn’t step up. Bamshad’s been complaining that they’ve been sleeping in separate rooms, and it doesn’t look like that arrangement is changing anytime soon.

The girls are getting back to business

GG goes house hunting and finds a 5-bedroom palace, complete with a gasp-worthy closet and a pool. It’s also close in distance to everyone … and less than a mile away from Dennis.

Speaking of Dennis, GG knows that she needs his help to get back on her feet. After all, this house is for lease for $14,000 a month and that’s currently way over budget.

She decides to pay her ex-husband a visit at his office and takes Amir along as her attorney/bodyguard. Despite their blowup at Palm Springs that caused him to leave, he welcomes the idea of them working together again with open arms. Crisis averted (for now).

Meanwhile, we finally see MJ head in for work and it’s cameo time! She sits down for a meeting with Mauricio Umansky, her charismatic boss at The Agency. Her goal is to make $1 million in real estate sales and with his help, she can definitely get there.

She says that she wants to make Mauricio proud, and he equally wants to see her flourish. It looks like some chemistry there? They are both separated, after all. 

RJ tries to put the pieces back together

Everyone has recovered from the hot mess of Palm Springs except for Tanin and Sky. Their friendship was put in hot water and neither one is taking the first step in reaching out. Tanin is upset that Sky literally discounted her support of her jewelry brand and Sky can’t get over the fact that Tanin ran and gossiped to Reza in the first place.

RJ is fed up with the idea that they would let their 5-year friendship fall apart over one argument. So, he sits down with Sky for lunch. After complaining about the restaurant, which naturally doesn’t fit her high standards, she says that she’s not going to be close with Tanin again. She no longer trusts her and is fine being done with her and Greg altogether.

Refusing to let up, RJ calls for another sit-down meeting, but this time he has a trick up his sleeve. Sky arrives and is enjoying herself, not knowing an ambush is coming. The waiter soon drops the bomb that there’s a third person joining them, and Sky instantly knows what’s up.

On que, Tanin arrives and they both look out for blood.This doesn’t look like it’s going to end well.

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.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Britani Bateman didn’t get her entertainment star on Bravo. Rather, she had built up quite the resume in the musical theatre world.

Back in 1999 she starred as Ellen in the National Broadway Tour of Miss Saigon. And in recent times, she had her own cabaret show in December 2025.

Now she is taking her musical talents to the big screen. Britani will be appearing in the audition rounds of the new season of American Idol. But, not in the way you’d think.

RHOSLC’s Britani Bateman appears on American Idol to support her niece

In the second episode of American Idol Season 24, Britani accompanies her niece Carmen Lorell Martin to her audition.

Right off the bat, it’s clear that Carmen gets a lot of her personality from her aunt. She’s bold, unapologetic, and would make the perfect cast member of Next Gen NYC.

Turning to the audition, usually the friends and family of the contestant will wait until they’ve performed to come out. But no, Britani walked out with Carmen to meet the judges. And, in a priceless moment, they had no clue who she was. Even when her niece name-dropped the Bravo show they still weren’t impressed Oop. Guess Carrie Underwood is not a RHOSLC fan.

Anyways, Britani got out of the way and Carmen sang while playing the piano, leaving her aunt in tears. The judges gave her glowing reviews, but the clip quickly transitioned into Britani and Carmen singing a duet. Why in the world is she taking up most of her niece’s time to shine? Will this duet be factored into deliberations for her golden ticket?

Fans won’t find out until tonight whether or not Carmen advances into the competition. Either way, though, Britani will definitely be adding this experience to her resume.

American Idol airs Mondays at 8/7c on ABC.

Season 6 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City was a total rollercoaster ride. And when it came to rumors swirling around, Meredith Marks was always the target. One of the accusations that came up was her alleged substance abuse problem. This was discussed among the cast during the season, and it became a big topic on social media. It was also a big storyline for her, which is why she’s pointing her finger at the crew.

During the third part of the Season 6, Meredith finally had it, revealing on-camera that she was mad at production and that they set her up. The tea is piping hot, and even though the season is over, she’s continuing to air out her grievances.

The RHOSLC reunion saw Meredith Marks slammed for complaining about production

In a new expose, Meredith ripped into the production of RHOSLC for allowing false accusations heightened by social media to play out this season.

“[The cast] is repeatedly told that we don’t follow social media stories: It’s ruining the show. But when it comes to me, we are following it. Why are we following a story of false accusations of substance abuse, but not following the truth? That was my real issue,” she explained to Variety.

It wasn’t just the substance abuse rumor that made her upset. Britani Bateman brought up a TikTok that alleged some infidelity from Meredith’s husband Seth Marks. Mind you, their marriage has had issues in the past, so this isn’t helping their growth.

“It was very obscure. When the episode aired, it had 25 likes. What bothered me was we don’t usually follow little TikTok storylines. So why suddenly are we following that? Why was that OK”

Based on her outrage with both the cast and crew this season, it wouldn’t be a shock if she left RHOSLC. Some rumors have already emerged regarding her potential departure. The only co-star so far that is hoping that she sticks around is Heather Gay. This is a shocking level of support, given the fact that the two went at it in the reunion.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is available to stream on Peacock.

Despite not being a part of Vanderpump Rules Season 12, Katie Maloney is currently the center of attention. It all started when the reboot was announced, complete with an all-new cast. At the time, Katie slammed the new season, calling it “cheap”

Later on, new cast members Shayne Davis and Chris Hahn were asked what they thought of Katie’s comment, to which they both stated that they had no clue who she was. Yikes. A video clip of their words became viral, reaching the eyes of almost every Bravolebrity. Now Katie could’ve taken the high road and just let it go, but let’s just say that they caught her on the wrong day.

Chris Hahn claimed he didn’t know who Pump Rules OG Katie Maloney was

Katie recently took to social media to throw from shade, specifically toward Chris, for the interview.

“I said the rebooting felt cheap. Before it came out. But you know what I was right. Give you cousin a kiss for me,” she quipped on IG.

If you aren’t privy to the current VPR storyline, this is quite the read from Katie. Chris and his cousin Jason Cohen are accused of “incest” for doing Onlyfans together. 

Multiple people, including Kristen Doute and Jasmine Goode, came after the newbies in support of Katie.

Even her frenemy and former co-star Scheana Shay had her back. She dragged them both saying, “These BOYS need to show some respect to an OG who paved the way for them!!!”

Clearly, the boys have gotten themselves into some hot water. Chris has already attempted to make amends, telling Katie that he didn’t mean any disrespect. He also maintained that the viral clip was poorly edited, and his full statement wasn’t shown. Meanwhile, it’s been crickets from Shayne. Can Katie please make a cameo in the VPR Season 12 reunion?

Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. It can be streamed on Peacock the next day.

Just a few months after Paige DeSorbo announced her unexpected breakup with Craig Conover, another Summer House breakup has come. This time it’s between Amanda Batula and her husband Kyle Cooke. After almost four years of marriage, a statement released two weeks ago announced their split.

And in true Bravo form, the former couple were still together during the filming of Season 10. Now that the season is about to air, fans will soon get an up-close look into what ultimately caused the downfall of their relationship. And judging by this preview for the premiere episode, one of their faults is related to Kyle’s alleged unfaithfulness.

In a preview clip for the Season 10 premiere, Amanda discusses Kyle’s infidelity rumors with Ciara Miller. Apparently, after receiving so many whispers about him potentially cheating, she began to tune it out, which is unhealthy.

“Someone wrote in to Page Six, ‘Oh, apparently Kyle was seeing X, Y, and Z,’ and Kyle was like, ‘There’s no truth to this’. ‘But, it’s just like, I don’t know. The fact that I’m numb to it now scares me. I shouldn’t feel that way,’” she explained in the video shared by Bravo’s The Daily Dish.

During a confessional, Amanda reflects on her relationship with Kyle and is saddened by how it’s already falling apart.

“Once upon a time, I thought you fall in love, and when you choose the person that you want to get married to, you’re happy and then you have kids and then things get difficult … I didn’t think sh*t would be this hard in the first few years.”

Season 10 of Summer House premieres Tuesday, February 3 at 8/7c on Bravo. It currently streams on Peacock.

One of VH1’s prized shows is Basketball Wives. With knockout drama, chaotic relationships, and exciting spinoffs, it was nothing short of iconic.

For the past 15 years, the series has been a staple on television, spearheaded by its creator and star Shaunie Henderson. Speaking of Shaunie, she just gave an update to fans regarding the show. And no, it’s not one that they are hoping for.

Shaunie Henderson announced that Basketball Wives is over on Instagram

Shaunie just took to social media and revealed that after 12 seasons, the series is taking a bow.

“This is just called growth and, you know, moving forward. I’m announcing today that Basketball Wives will not be returning,” she explained in her January 29 IG reel.

But don’t get too upset, because Shaunie wants everyone to know that she’s not done creating just yet.

“While this journey is concluding, I’m actively developing new projects that align with my personal and professional purpose. Continuing to create meaningful opportunities for women across media and business.”

It’s not ideal, but the decision to stop Basketball Wives may be for the best. After all, Season 12 didn’t exactly end well. Co-stars and mother-daughter duo Jackie Christie and Chantel Christie got into a physical fight on-screen. And as two major castmembers, who can’t stand each other, bringing them back together would’ve been a bad idea.

Not to mention, the controversial history among alums of the show has given the series quite the negative stain. Brittish Williams is currently serving time in prison for bank and wire fraud. Royce Reed also made headlines, with her case involving alleged child neglect when her son was 14-years-old.

Basketball Wives is available to stream on Paramount Plus.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15 just got deep. In the latest episode, Dorit Kemsley brought a revelation about newbie Amanda Frances. Specifically, she shared that after some online searching, she found a blog that the newbie wrote in 2015. 

The article details how she left an alleged cult eight years ago, which would have been back in 2007. This is information that Amanda hadn’t told any of her new co-stars prior, officially making Dorit the town crier. And now that the cat is out of the bag, she is sharing more of her story.

Amanda Frances’ blog about being in a cult was discovered by Dorit Kemsley

Amanda recently opened up more about her past religious experience, which stretched for multiple years.

“Between ministry training school and bachelor’s, I was, for two years, very highly involved in a church that I consider to be a cult. It fits all the criteria for a cult. It fits all the criteria for religious abuse. That was what it was for me. That was the experience I had,” she told US Weekly.

And while Dorit came to the group with this piping hot tea, Amanda maintains that it wasn’t hidden at all.

“The cult story isn’t a secret. Everyone in my audience, in my community, women in my courses, have known this story forever. So, when she’s pulling it up like it’s dirt, it’s very weird to me. Because it’s not dirt.”

Of course, she isn’t the only housewife with alleged cult ties. Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Crosby is in the spotlight over the same thing, but not for being a part of one, but for allegedly running one. There was a recent documentary from her former congregation members detailing some wild accusations. 

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.

One of the TV shows that everyone binge-watched in 2023 was Jury Duty. After all, the Amazon Prime original was one of the most unique sitcoms to-date. It began with Ronald Gadden, an unassuming nice guy, who was summoned for jury duty. The only thing was…it wasn’t actually jury duty. It was a staged, planned court case filled with hilarious actors. It was practically a Punk’d episode that stretched for multiple days.

With multiple Emmy noms and the world’s attention, it was a shock when it wasn’t immediately renewed for a Season 2. But now, after three years of waiting, there’s finally an update, and it’s an interesting one.

Amazon Prime Video’s Jury Duty will return for Season 2

According to E! News,  Jury Duty is in fact coming back with a second season. However, it’s going to be nothing like the sitcom we’ve come to know and love.

Now called Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat, a new random guy will be put in the hot seat. But, he’s not going to be a part of a jury this time. Instead, he thinks he’s attending a company event for a made-up hot sauce business. A newly hired temp employee for the brand, he’s walking into this with no expectations. Which makes it the perfect forum to drive him crazy and make him question everything and everyone.

Aside from sharing that the Ronald-replacement is a man named Anthony, there’s no info on the cast just yet. One of the biggest stars from Season 1 was Cyclops himself, actor James Marden. So far he’s not confirmed nor denied his involvement with the next season.

Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat will premiere on Prime Video on March 20 with the first three episodes. The first season is streaming now on Prime.

Reality television is a healthy balance of love and drama, and nothing’s a better example than The Valley: Persian Style. The new Bravo series puts rocky couples together in a friend group that never gets along. It is a hot mess … but fans can’t look away. 

What Happened on The Valley: Persian Style Episode 5?

The fifth episode continues with the cast’s trip to Palm Springs. And what was once a peaceful vacation turned sour once an unwanted guest arrived. Can they turn this vacay around? Here’s everything that happened on The Valley: Persian Style Episode 5.

Dennis and Golnesa continue to butt heads over their past

We’re back at Adam’s birthday dinner and he’s followed Golnesa outside after she stormed out. After a heart to heart (and a weed break) she finally comes back to the table and lets her beef go with Dennis for the birthday boy’s sake.

They keep the party going at a nearby club, and instantly RJ feels like the 11th wheel to these couples. Now that Dennis is back in the mix, he can’t make any moves on GG. So, he links up with their server Courtney in an inadvertent way to make GG jealous, which actually ends up working. When he asks GG what she thinks of her, she bluntly responded with a one-word assessment: “b*tch”.

The morning comes, and Dennis ends up staying the night at the villa. And no, he and GG don’t share a room. But, they do have a poolside chat that doesn’t go well. Just like all of their on-screen conversations, it ends with GG getting heated and walking away. To her credit, though, Dennis rips into her, telling her that he’s “the successful one” and she’s broke. Yikes.

GG runs and tells the others what went down immediately. And while they are supportive, both Sky and RJ tell her that she was asking for it. After all, why did she think secretly inviting her worst enemy to a group trip would go over well?

Nonetheless, she wants Dennis to leave and he is all for it. For some reason, MJ, the one who ripped into him the most last night, stops him from going. He gives it another chance and maintains that if they have one more blowup, he and his business partnership are leaving GG for good.

RJ doesn’t know how to slow himself down

A racetrack regular, Greg convinces the group (including Dennis) to go to the speedway. Of course, this instantly seems insensitive to his wife Tanin. After learning of her near-death car accident, racing at full-speed seems thoughtless. Surprisingly, though, Tanin is actually excited to race. She shared in her confessional that in her horrific car accident, she was the passenger of the vehicle. So, being in the driver seat and taking control is where she’s most comfortable.

They all have fun driving around and all is well until RJ gets ahold of the steering wheel. An undisclosed adrenaline junkie, he completely floors it with Amir in the car, speeding his way through the course. His crazy driving eventually leads to him steering it right into the dirt, causing a gigantic puff of smoke that engulf the entire vehicle. Everyone looks to the smoke with concern, and luckily he and Amir are fine. But, Amir did let him know that his driving privileges are now gone forever, which is for the best.

The racing squad makes it back to the villa and GG is miserable. She blames Dennis for ruining her trip, as she’s trying to avoid him and didn’t go to the tracks because he was there. Adam and Bamshad get fed up with this situation and confront Dennis in his room. To their delight, he is fine with leaving and is gone within minutes.

Now it’s time to focus on their Persian feast in the backyard and the departed unwanted guest has been swapped for another. RJ decides to bring Courtney over, and GG recognizes instantly that he’s trying to make her jealous. She maintains that it’s not working…but instantly goes in the backyard to light a blunt. Way to be subtle. 

A ripple effect of rage

While Reza sets the table for dinner, Sky decides to boss him around on where to put the utensils. He’s visibly upset, but decides to let it slide.

After Greg finishes the steak and she gives it a try, Sky instantly critiques it, calling it “very chewy”. This finally sets Reza off, so much so that he brings gossip to the table. 

Tanin confided in him that she’s trying to launch a skincare brand. And, when she went to present her serum (for humans) to Sky, she put it on her dogs. He calls her out for not supporting a true friend. 

This angers Sky, who is upset that Tanin talked behind her back. Turning her sights on her supposed best friend, Sky asks her if she’s ever bought her luxury jewelry at retail price. Highly offended, Tanin reveals that she’s spent thousands of her dollars on her products, and a small discount shouldn’t diminish that.

Greg gets mad, not because Tanin’s being grilled by Sky, but because of Sky’s taste. She repeatedly mentions during the dinner that she wants to leave the valley, which pisses him off. He tells her that as a native, he interprets her comment as saying that the area is beneath her.

She doesn’t agree, but does say that someone is beneath her, and that person is Golnessa. Sky also calls her a “piece of sh*t”, triggering anger from Adam. Eventually, after upsetting everyone at the table, Sky storms off.

So … it’s safe to assume that Courtney didn’t get a good impression from this friend group.

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.

If you haven’t been watching The Valley: Persian Style, you need to get caught up. For fans of Shahs of Sunset, it’s the perfect revisit to our chaotic faves. The past few weeks viewers have been briefed on all of the major issues that’s facing this group. Now it’s time to watch it all unfold.

What happened on The Valley: Persian Style Episode 4?

The fourth episode is here and the group are heading out of the valley. That’s right, the first group trip is already here. A group of chaotic friends take on 4 days in the hot sun. What could go wrong? Could it be any worse than last week? Here’s everything that happened on The Valley: Persian Style Episode 4: “Dennis the Menace.”

A band-aid is put on a big situation

The episode begins and we’re back at Dennis and Golnesa’s long-awaited reunion. He ultimately apologizes for sleeping with her friend after they got married. It’s then revealed that he actually got engaged to the same friend before calling it off later on. Yikes.

In a confessional, she admits that she gets over things too easily in general. However, her mind is on money, even if that means partnering with him again. GG attempts to make amends and they end up cheering drinks, after Dennis picks up the tab, of course.

Will they or won’t they make amends

Tanin’s friend rents out properties in Palm Springs, which gives her an idea: group trip! And it’s in perfect timing, as Reza’s husband Adam is celebrating his birthday.

Speaking of Reza, he has a new real estate client in Sky. After five years of living in the valley, she wants out. She gives him a laundry list of wants, including a large kitchen and a pool. He warns her that it’s a bad idea financially to walk away from the house she’s currently in. It seems like she and GG are in the same boat.

They all head over to Palm Springs, and Tommy is the only one not in attendance (shocker). If you don’t remember, Tommy and Reza had a major falling out. Apparently, Reza didn’t show up for MJ when she went through her difficult pregnancy. In turn, Tommy trespassed into his backyard and destroyed his garden. He has no bad blood with Tommy and is willing to make amends. When she calls her husband to tell him the good news, he instantly shuts down the idea of a reconciliation. Welp, there goes that idea.

Everyone has picked out their rooms by the time Sky and Bamshad arrive. She instantly rages at their accommodation, calling it the “smallest” and “ugliest” room. But she’s probably just upset that she has to sleep in the same bed with her husband.

On a roll, Sky chooses this as the right time to confront GG for her disrespect. After all, at her trunk show event, she smoked weed at her party without her consent. GG genuinely apologized and Sky happily accepted it. Chances are this meeting of the minds between them lasts 10 seconds.

They have no tears left to cry

For some reason, Tanin thought a fun group activity would be inviting a medium. On cue, she arrives at the house and they all gather around for her readings.

Instantly she connects to RJ’s grandma, which leads to finding out that he used to be obsessed with Michael Jackson. He even changed his last name to match the singer’s.

Next were fathers who have passed on. MJ’s dad, who died in 2018, comes through, followed by Reza’s father. Tanin’s dad comes up, who died 6 years ago, and she welcomes his sweet words with open arms.

Last but not least is Amir, who the medium connects to his late wife. It’s said that she likes Natasha for him. And, that his late wife plays with their kids through their daughter’s toy giraffe. By the time the medium finishes her reading, there’s not a dry eye in the room. He seems to physically relax after getting her blessing from above.

The group gets out of the vacation rental for Adam’s birthday dinner. Reza surprises him by hosting the meal at the same restaurant they tied the knot in almost 10 years ago.

They start reflecting on the medium session when guess who strolls up to the table? None other than Dennis himself. Apparently, GG secretly invited him to the group without consulting anyone. Smart thinking.

Everyone is stunned, but it doesn’t take MJ more than a few seconds to recover and unleash her rage. She rips into him, calling him out for not taking accountability for breaking a relationship. GG admits in her confessional that she is enjoying him being publicly criticized, which is probably why she invited him in the first place. 

Reza is fuming, because this debacle has ruined his husband’s dinner. Thankfully a drag queen comes out with a rainbow cake and saves the day. Well … for the next ten seconds.

The conversation turns right back to Dennis and the failed marriage. GG ends up screaming at the top of her lungs and leaves to smoke another blunt. Is the tally at four for the amount of GG walkouts? That’s housewife numbers. Guess we’ll have to wait until next week to see how this trip ends. 

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.
