We’re still mentally recovering from the Black Banquet on The Traitors, but the show must go on, and so do the murders. Last week, Lisa went down in flames after a murder in plain sight went awry. Yam Yam screaming Lisa’s name as he got dragged out by the executioners will go down in reality TV history.

In The Traitors Season 4 Episode 8, “A Queen Never Comes Off Her Throne,” the chaos continued as the two remaining Traitors were presented with a big question: Do they want to kill a Faithful, or is it time to bring in a third?

What happened in the Traitors Season 4 Episode 8?

As the dust settled from the Black Banquet murder and Rinna’s subsequent banishment, Rob and Candiace struggled to get back on the same page. Could recruiting another Traitor help fix this broken relationship? Probably not. Either way, a high-profile murder rocked the castle, and in the end, another player got voted out of the game. You’re going to need a “cryangle” for this one.

Did the Traitors seduce a Faithful in Season 4 Episode 8?

The tension was thick in the turret this week, after Candiace cast a “throwaway vote” for Rob. Obviously, she did that out of pure spite over Rob’s betrayal of Rinna, but when the two confronted each other, Candiace didn’t seem ready to take ownership of that decision. If you’ve seen her on Real Housewives of Potomac, that behavior should come as no surprise.

Rob let it slide, but in his confessional, he made it clear that he wasn’t going to forget about what Candiace did. He’s fully aware that Colton had been throwing her name out into the ether. With Candiace refusing to apologize, Rob chose to keep that information to himself.

As the two faced off in the turret, Alan came in with some news. When a Traitor goes down, they get the opportunity to bring in another.

Candiace seemed eager to add someone else to the equation, but Rob quickly shut down the idea. He said they’d be better off if it were just the two of them. He knows that he’s already well-positioned to make it to the end.

With a recruitment off the table, he told Candiace she could take the lead on the night’s murder. That decision wound up changing the game for both of them.

Who got murdered in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 8?

In a shocking move, Colton from The Bachelor was murdered in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 8. It was fully Candiace’s decision, and it was a brilliant move on Rob’s part to let it happen. No one would suspect that he’d have a hand in killing his castle bestie.

With Colton out of the way, this will finally give some of those other players a chance to get a word in edgewise. We’re looking at you, Kristen. We’re talking about you, Mark. These Faithful have to clock in and can no longer rely on coasting behind Colton.

In a confessional, Candiace justified the murder by saying that she wanted to break up the alliance between Colton and Rob. She felt like Rob used Colton to target Lisa, and she feared she would be next if he stayed in the game. Unfortunately for Candiace, Rob has plenty of other allies in other corners of the castle. It’s a privilege Candiace doesn’t seem to have.

Rob and Candiace’s feud spread throughout the castle

The Faithfuls were energized by Rinna’s banishment, but Candiace and Rob were in the castle spiraling. She knew she needed to start putting heat on someone else if she wanted to stay in the game. That was an uphill battle, as most of the players were very much fixated on her confusing throwaway vote to Rob.

Meanwhile, Rob was running around, fully masquerading as a Faithful. He spent this episode spinning theories about Candiace, proving that he didn’t need Colton to stay alive in the game. He even tried to volunteer himself for a shield in the mission! It wound up going to Kristen, but still, this man is working overtime in this game.

At one point, Candiace and Rob confronted each other right in the middle of the castle. They made it extremely clear to each other that their relationship had turned toxic, and it had reached a point of no return.

Candiace vowed to take him down with her if she were to get kicked out of the castle. Rob said that it would be “bad sportsmanship.” We think that’s just Candiace being Candiace.

Who got banished in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 8?

Candiace was the latest player banished from The Traitors, and the vote was a landslide. Ultimately, her downfall was the vote she cast for Rob. No one could get past that, and she wound up locking in nine votes.

Of course, Candiace didn’t go down without a fight. She threw Rob under the bus, just like she promised. Candiace also managed to start a fight between Tara and Natalie, proving exactly why she’s such a great Real Housewife. However, the votes were still overwhelmingly against her.

In a teary-eyed exit interview, Candiace reflected on her time in the castle and said that lying constantly was the hardest part about the game. She genuinely started making connections with the Faithfuls, and it became increasingly hard to keep killing them off.

“I really started to love everybody, and that’s what stings the most,” Candiace said.

However, when it came to Rob, Candiace still seemed a little bitter. She said she felt confident that the Faithfuls would catch onto his snake-like ways.

“I’m confident that he’s going to look at Rob,” Candiace concluded. “And, in the event that they don’t, joke is on them.”

The last Traitor standing

With Donna, Rinna, and Candiace all out of the picture, Rob is the last Traitor standing — at least for now. After Candiace voted for Rob not one, but twice, he knows the heat is on him.

In the turret, where Rob said he was finally enjoying some peace and quiet, Alan arrived with some more news. He’s got to try to recruit a Faithful.

Rob was tasked with issuing an ultimatum to one Faithful: join the Traitors or die. The episode ended with him passing that note along to Eric. What will he choose?

The Traitors continues every Thursday at 9/8c on Peacock.

There’s a new wave of Housewives entering the Bravoverse. The full-length trailer for The Real Housewives of Rhode Island is here, and we’re already obsessed. These women are coming from the smallest state, but they’re bringing some big storylines. There are rumors, tears, and one Housewife who might have two boyfriends. Check out the trailer before, and get ready to clutch your pearls.

The Real Housewives of Rhode Island premieres April 2

Bravo previously dropped a teaser trailer for RHORI at BravoCon 2025, teasing all of the deep family connections, marital troubles, and some incredible, East Coast accents. Now, this latest drop gives an even more in-depth look at what’s to come, along with some shiny new cast photos and a premiere date.

Just like the trailer we saw during BravoCon, this one starts by teasing the fact that in Rhode Island, “everyone knows everyone.” Then, we get fully introduced to all of these new faces and all of their shenanigans.

We have a feeling it’s going to take a couple of episodes to tell some of these women apart, but we’ll get there eventually. The full cast includes Alicia Carmody, Rosie DiMare, Ashley Iaconetti, Liz McGraw, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Kelsey Swanson, and Jo-Ellen Tiberi. Real Housewives of New Jersey legend Dolores Catania will pop in and out as a part-time friend.

In the trailer, it looks like Rulla’s husband will be a major point of discussion, with rumors swirling that he might be having an affair. At one point, Liz tells her, “But he is, ma. But he is.”

Elsewhere, Jo-Ellen is also on the defensive about her man. Like many of the Housewives that have come before her, she warns one of her castmates not to cross the delicate line.

“You f*ck with my husband, with my kids, with my job, I’m gonna ruin your f*ckin life,” she yells.

Literally, this trailer has everything that you’d want from a new Housewives franchise. There’s a new era upon us, and some fans can’t wait to dive in.

The Real Housewives of Rhode Island premieres on Bravo, Thursday, April 2 at 9/8c.

He’s booked and busy. After separating from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards, Mauricio Umansky has been keeping his hands full with real estate moves, women, legal drama, and more. The latest thing Mauricio can add to his resume? Modeling. At the ripe age of 55, this father of three just made his runway debut.

Mauricio Umansky walked the runway for Ari SoHo

It’s New York Fashion Week, and Mauricio hopped up to the Big Apple and got right into the action. The real estate mogul partnered with Ari Soho, and they let him walk in their fashion show. He documented the entire thing on his Instagram.

When Mau hit the runway, he rocked an all-black look with some casual jeans, boots, and a coat draped over his shoulders. This wasn’t an avant-garde couture moment, just regular everyday menswear. He looked right in his element.

According to Bravo’s The Daily Dish, there were a handful of other Bravolebs in the building. Erin Lichy from Real Housewives of New York was there with her husband. Rosie DiMare, one of the newbies from Real Housewives of Rhode Island, DJ’d the event. She gushed over Mau in an Instagram story.

“Oh my god. Mauricio Umansky is here, you guys,” she said in the Story. “He’s so handsome in real life. Crazy.”

The runway isn’t the only unexpected place we’ve seen Mauricio lately. He also recently popped up in an episode of Real Housewives of Potomac, when the ladies took a day trip to Aspen. These days, you literally never know where you’ll find this man. He’s living his best single life.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Thursdays at 8/7c.

She’s a rapper, a radio host, and a reality star, but would she ever be a Real Housewife? Da Brat, whose real name is Shawntae Harris, recently revealed that she had “conversations” about joining The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

We’ve seen Da Brat pop up on Bravo before. She has made a handful of cameos on RHOA, and she also filmed a scene on Married to Medicine. She’s one of Dr. Jackie Walter’s patients!

Da Brat already has one foot in the Bravoverse, but it doesn’t sound like she wants to dive in any further…

Da Brat isn’t interested in joining the RHOA cast

Da Brat is currently doing a press tour to promote the new book she wrote with her wife, Jesseca “Judy” Harris-Dupart. When chatting with Us Weekly, Da Brat revealed how her name came up for potential RHOA casting.

“It, kind of, has been a little conversation,” Da Brat confessed, “I’m scared. [There’s going to be] conflict. They’re gonna throw something at you to make you want to be mad.”

She added, “That’s just the way that it goes on those shows that brings the viewers, and you know that is going to happen. So, I just didn’t want to be that person because I feel like they know my temper is pretty short, and they’re definitely going to try me.”

Judy noted that her wife also felt hesitant about joining a show like RHOA because of her criminal history. Da Brat went to jail in 2007 for felony aggravated assault after whacking a girl in the face with a rum bottle. That might be too much, even for Bravo’s standards.

“My wife is a convicted felon,” Judy added. “So, the conversation [is that] she doesn’t necessarily want to do what’s considered ‘ensemble cast.’”

Although Da Brat doesn’t have any plans to hold a peach on RHOA, she’s not fully swearing off reality TV. She previously starred in WE TV’s Growing Up Hip Hop and Brat Loves Judy. Someday, the latter could make a comeback.

She teased, “I think we might revisit it. It just depends on what the world is doing because there’s so much going on in the world, and film and TV is doing something weird right now as well, you know, and you know, we don’t know what’s going to happen so, but if we get the opportunity to do it later when [our two-year-old son] is a bit older, we might dive into it.”

He’s out! Robert Cosby Jr., the son of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby, has been released from jail after serving two months behind bars. The news comes after his sentencing hearing earlier this week, and although he’s no longer in jail, his legal drama is far from over.

Robert Cosby Jr. served two months behind bars

Robert was arrested on November 9, 2025, after showing up at his former in-laws’ house and violating an order of protection. He damaged one of their vehicles and some siding on the house. When the cops caught up with him, the arrest turned violent. He’s been in jail ever since.

Later that month, Robert pleaded guilty to eight charges, including assault on an officer, criminal trespassing, violation of a protective order, and felony property damage.

Robert’s sentencing hearing was scheduled for Tuesday, February 3, and according to court records reviewed by People, he was sentenced to 36 months of probation and 75 hours of community service. He was released from jail and has also been instructed to complete mental health and anger management evaluations.

While Robert was behind bars, his ex-wife, Alexiana Smokoff, filed for divorce, which was settled last month. A judge issued a permanent no-contact order, so Robert really needs to stay away this time.

Robert’s lawyer, Clayton Simms, told the outlet that Robert is committed to “taking responsibility” following his release. In addition to therapy, he’s going to try to find a job. It sounds like sitting in jail for two months really sobered him up. Now, he has a new outlook on life.

His lawyer said, “Unfortunately, we sometimes learn more from our mistakes than our successes. Robert is on the right path and moving forward in a positive direction.”

One thing about Cynthia Bailey is that she isn’t afraid to spill a little tea on her Humble Brag podcast, which she hosts with Crystal Kung Minkoff. During the latest episode, she dished on filming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, and apparently, Heather Gay was getting googly-eyed over Cynthia’s manly alter ego, 50 Cynt.

RHUGT: Road Trip had Cynthia Bailey tricking Housewives

Heather and Cynthia were among the 60 Housewives who made cameo appearances during RHUGT. The two crossed paths when Heather went to Atlanta, where NeNe Leakes threw an Alter Ego party, just like we saw back on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 2.

For the party, Cynthia revived her iconic 50 Cynt costume, fully looking like a statuesque man with a beard, gold chains, and a fresh pair of Timberlands. Apparently, the costume was so good that a bunch of the Housewives didn’t recognize her.

Cynthia explained, “Only the girls from Atlanta know who 50 Cynt is. A lot of the other girls were like, ‘Who’s that cute guy?’”

She said that Kyle Richards walked right past her without recognizing her. She tried to talk to Vicki Gunvalson, who looked confused until Cynthia introduced herself. However, it was Heather from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City who really latched onto the 50 Cynt persona.

“I thought I was going to have to go back to the hotel with Heather,” Cynthia joked. “Heather was on me like nobody’s business.”

According to Cynthia, she probably could have taken “10 or 15” of the Housewives back to Lake Bailey because the studly costume was so convincing, but apparently, it was Heather who was the most impressed. Add this to the list of reasons why we can’t wait for this show to air.

Cynthia teased, “That girl wanted some 50 Cynt. She wanted more than 50 Cynt. She wanted the whole damn dollar. I’m like, ‘Heather, it’s me.’ She’s like, ‘I don’t care. I’ll take Cynthia and 50 Cynt.’”

The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th will air on Bravo later this year.

The latest update from Cory Wharton is a whole lot of fitspo with a slight dash of thirst trap. The Challenge star just shared an Instagram post showing off his dramatic, one-year body transformation after recovering from two knee surgeries last year. The father of three went from rocking a dad bod to showing off a set of chiseled abs, and he shared with his followers exactly how he did it. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t Ozempic.

Cory Wharton put in the “hard work to get back into good shape”

As fans of reality TV, we’re used to seeing our favorite stars dish about their body transformations. Usually, there’s a GLP-1 involved or perhaps a quick visit to their local medspa. That’s certainly not the case with Cory.

The Challenge star explained to his followers that after two knee surgeries, he picked up a little bit of weight. He expected it to happen, but he spent the last year laser-focused on putting in time at the gym, along with paying closer attention to his diet.

Cory’s starting weight was 233, and in his chiseled form, he’s 220. It’s not necessarily a dramatic, jaw-dropping weight loss as you’d see on The Biggest Loser or something. However, Cory said he’s proof that sometimes the number on the scale isn’t the most important thing.

He wrote, ”It’s not always about the number that you see on the scale, it’s about how you feel.”

Cory capped off his motivational post with some words of encouragement for anyone looking to transform like him. He said to focus on being “the hardest worker” in the gym and not rely on any magic to make things happen.

“No magical pill you could take to have the body that you want. It’s gonna take lifestyle changes & consistency,” Cory said.

The Challenge is streaming on Paramount+.

The split between Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke marks the end of an era, and it’s got everyone in their feelings. At the Summer House Season 10 premiere party, Kyle got on the mic and read some messages to his castmates. He nearly got choked up when reading his note to Amanda.

Kyle Cooke vows to still help Amanda Batula with her taxes despite their split

Amanda and Kyle confirmed their breakup last month, after four years of marriage. In the Season 10 premiere episode, it was extremely clear that there were some issues happening. His DJ career became a point of contention, and Amanda admitted that it felt like the internet was “rooting” for their divorce.

At the Season 10 premiere party, where Kyle was DJ’ing, he read some messages from his phone to shout out his castmates as they entered their landmark season. He seemed to get choked up when he addressed his estranged wife.

“Thank you for joining me on this journey,” Kyle said as his voice cracked.

He continued, “Through all of the ups and downs, you stood by my side, and I’m forever grateful to have shared so many memories.”

With their marital troubles on full display, Kyle went on to say that Season 10 felt “more bitter than sweet.” Not to mention, we’ll also get to see more of their relationship drama on the upcoming Summer House spinoff, In The City. Still, he managed to keep it light at the premiere party. It sounds like maybe they don’t totally hate each other — at least not yet.

“I’m confident we will find happiness, whatever that looks like,” Kyle added. “And yes, I’ll still help with your taxes.”

Summer House airs on Bravo on Tuesdays at 8/7c. You can stream it the next day on Peacock.

Season 10 of Summer House literally just started, but we’re already looking at what’s next. After the Summer House season premiere, Bravo shared a first look at their upcoming spinoff show, In The City. It gave us a glimpse at the first three castmembers: Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula, and Lindsay Hubbard. Carl Radke, on the other hand? He was nowhere to be found.

Carl Radke doesn’t appear in the new In The City teaser

Bravo first announced this Summer House spinoff in September of last year, right as cameras were rolling. The network didn’t confirm any casting details, but insiders teased that Lindsay, Kyle, and Amanda had already signed on, in addition to Andrea Denver and his wife, Lexi Sundin.

At the time, sources said that Carl’s involvement with the spinoff remained unclear as he focused on the launch of his alcohol-free hangout, Soft Bar. Now that Bravo has given us a first look at the cast, it’s starting to seem like he won’t be on this show. Time will tell.

The new teaser for In The City says that “seasons change” as Lindsay, Kyle, and Amanda pose in a New York City park in earth-toned outfits. The caption read, “We heard fall is just as fun! It’s official, new series #InTheCity is on the way. More to come…?.”

According to the show’s official synopsis, In The City will follow “a group of New Yorkers” navigating the “biggest transitions of their lives – marriage, parenthood, reinvention and the reality of growing up without growing apart.”

With Kyle and Amanda’s marriage collapsing and Carl being fully MIA from this teaser, it seems like some growing apart might have happened after all. Keep your eyes peeled for more details.

Summer House airs on Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. You can stream it the next day on Peacock.

Another legendary reality show could be getting the reboot treatment. The word on the street is that the creators behind the hit show Mob Wives are looking to revive the show, ten years after its conclusion on VH1. According to a report, Renee Graziano is ready to bust out her fur coat and return to the spotlight, but one of her former costars has already sworn off the idea.

Renee Graziano will return in the Mob Wives remake

TMZ got all of the details on this Mob Wives reboot. Renee’s sister, Jennifer Graizinao, will return to executive produce the show, and they’re hoping production will start later this year. They’re still shopping around networks, but the wheels are definitely turning here. Supposedly, talks of this reboot have been fueled by the “mob wife aesthetic” trend on social media.

If this Mob Wives revival comes to fruition, Renee will definitely be the leading lady, but the rest of the lineup is unconfirmed. There’s a possibility that some of the original cast members could make cameo appearances. At the moment, all of those details are still up in the air.

Meanwhile, one original cast member has already made it extremely clear that she won’t be participating. Drita D’Avanzo told TMZ that she had no interest in the show. Instead, she’s focused on other projects, like the upcoming House of Villains Season 3, and a soon-to-be-announced scripted series. Good for her, but that’s too bad for us.

Mob Wives originally premiered in 2011 on VH1 with Renee, Drita, Carla Facciolo, and Karen Gravano as the main cast. The show ran for six seasons and spawned three spinoffs, including two Angela “Big Ang” Raiola shows and the painfully short-lived Mob Wives Chicago.

Mob Wives is streaming on Paramount+.
