Ahead of the Summer House Season 10 premiere, Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula announced their divorce after four years of marriage. Kyle and Amanda’s relationship was a major part of Summer House from Season 1. Alas, it was rocky more often than not. So, fans weren’t terribly surprised. But they were curious to see how Season 10 would play out with this knowledge.

Leading up to the season premiere, Kyle and Amanda insisted things were as cordial as possible. They did press together, and Kyle honored her in a toast at the premiere party. More details about the timeline of their split also came out, as Amanda revealed they already broke up before BravoCon. But even if Kyle and Amanda hadn’t announced their split, the season premiere made it clear the writing was on the wall. We’re sure to see more of the marriage breakdown in the upcoming spin-off. But there were so many signs of it in the premiere alone, we had to make a list.

How the Summer House Season 10 Premiere Foreshadowed Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula’s Split

Summer House viewers know Kyle and Amanda always had problems. She even referenced the fans’ opinions about their relationship on screen. But the vibes in the premiere episode alone were extra tense. Amanda chose to ride with Ciara Miller instead of Kyle. It seemed the brief time she spent with Kyle in the car to meet Ciara was more than enough.  

Somehow, they managed to make the first night meal even more awkward than newbie Bailey Taylor did when she burst into tears. It was like a millennial Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. In almost every scene, one made snarky comments about the other. Such as Kyle, after he saw Amanda holding chickens, cracking, “Amanda, I thought you forgot how to handle a cock.” Yikes! 

Amanda wasn’t the only person Kyle had tension with either. Carl Radke hinted at the distance in their friendship throughout the episode. And the premiere opened with a flashforward of a major fight between the former besties to come. But Kyle’s doomed relationship with Amanda definitely took center stage in the premiere. 

There was a lot to unpack. But here are a few of the most notable signs that Kyle and Amanda were headed for divorce not long after the season wrapped.

Kyle’s DJ career was the straw that broke the camel’s back in his marriage to Amanda 

When the new girls said it seems like people just become DJs to party, Amanda said that was exactly right in Kyle’s case. In a flashback, she lamented that Kyle chose this career just as she asked him to party less and be at home more. At dinner, Amanda outright said that Kyle became a DJ just to spite her because of her ambitions to start a bathing suit line.

Later in a conversation with Ciara, Amanda said another friend knew a DJ who didn’t drink and went home right after his set. But Kyle wouldn’t be willing to do that. It’s not just Amanda either. Carl also doesn’t see Kyle as much since this new career. He sees the DJ career as Kyle not really committing to Amanda. It made them live two different lives.

Kyle lost his wedding ring 

In just one of the many uncomfortable moments between them at the dinner table, Amanda shared that Kyle lost his wedding ring. In response, she refused to wear her ring either. And wouldn’t put hers back on until he got a new one. Shakespeare couldn’t write better symbolism that the marriage was over than that. Jesse Solomon joked that they could cosplay as single … but it was obvious they wouldn’t have to cosplay soon enough.

Amanda became numb to rumors about Kyle 

In one of her heart-to-hearts with Ciara, Amanda admitted just how checked out she really was in her marriage. She revealed that yet another rumor came out, but they squashed it in the media. Still, her reaction surprised her … because she was barely affected by it. Amanda recalled how upset these rumors used to make her. Summer House fans surely flashed back to seasons past. But now, she’s numb to it all. Amanda realized how bad that sounds, and she wasn’t happy that she grew so used to it. 

Later at West Wilson’s party, Amanda also admitted that the internet reactions to their marriage took a toll. There’s only so many times you can see comments telling you to get a divorce.

Kyle felt unappreciated by Amanda 

Kyle spent most of the premiere complaining about his wife. Specifically, how he felt ignored by her. He hoped to rekindle things at the house. But instead, she jumped in bed with the girls (Ciara and Jesse). Kyle said that they barely spent anytime together in the past few months. Once again, because of his DJ career. Since he’s touring, he was only in the city for one and a half weekends over the past six months. 

At the dinner table, he lamented that she doesn’t ask him questions about his career (because she’s upset about it, Kyle!) and doesn’t listen. A fed up Amanda misheard this as him saying she was jealous, which she mocked. Then she realized she proved his point about listening. 

At the party, Kyle told friends Amanda doesn’t make an effort. And he was “freaked out” that they were such opposites. Now more than ever, with Kyle as a DJ and Amanda as a bed bug.

Kyle flipped out when Amanda (sort of) skinny dipped 

As the party winded down, the cast jumped in the pool. Most of them in their clothes or underwear. Amanda joined in, and entered the pool in a bra and underwear. Despite comments that her boobs were out, she wasn’t naked. However, Kyle was convinced she jumped in naked. She had to tell and show him that she wasn’t. Even still, Kyle said she should’ve told him first. Amanda pointed out how ridiculous this was, as they all jumped in the pool at the same time. When would she have had the chance to give him a heads up anyway? Still, Kyle was upset.

And that’s how the premiere ended. It sure seems like it’s going to be a long summer for these two … and their housemates awkwardly caught in the middle.

Summer House is available to stream on Peacock.

Last night, Calla Lily’s mask came off on The Masked Singer, revealing Teddi Mellencamp’s smiling face underneath. For those who watched Teddi on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you likely already guessed Teddi’s identity. That said, three out of four judges didn’t. And that was shocking, actually, because her clue package could not have been any clearer.

Last season, RHOBH’s Erika Jayne also starred on The Masked Singer. She entered this competition series as the beloved pup named Yorkie. But her clue package was just as easy to crack as Teddi’s. Or maybe I know far too many Real Housewives trivia facts.

Either way, The Masked Singer just said goodbye to another RHOBH star by way of Teddi. Here’s a recap detailing her clue packet, the judges’ predictions, and Teddi’s closing thoughts following her unmasking as the Calla Lily flower in Season 14.

All the clues Teddi Mellencamp was on The Masked Singer Season 14

Every contestant on The Masked Singer films a pre-recorded, lively teaser, complete with hints about their masked identities. These live-action videos air right before they perform. And that, plus the way each singer carries themselves, typically helps everyone guess their likenesses. However, only one judge correctly guessed Teddi’s name, so let’s take a look at Teddi’s clue package to understand why.

During week two, Calla Lily performed Rachel Platten’s hit track “Fight Song.” In her clue package, this character hinted about a recent, life-changing health diagnosis. And as RHOBH fans know, Teddi was diagnosed with stage II melanoma in October 2022. In February 2025, her cancer metastasized to her brain and lungs, and she remains in treatment today.

Then, during her appearance in week four, The Masked Singer observed the 250th birthday of the United States. So, Calla Lily suggested that one of her loved ones is well-known for their honoring of the U.S.A. “I can’t celebrate America and not mention an American legend,” she said, further teasing, “He’s an icon, but to me, he’s so much more.” Yes, she was talking about her father, recording artist John Mellencamp.

And finally, the judges received their last tangible clues: a gummy bear, a diamond house key, and a cougar T-shirt. Immediately, one of the judges realized Calla Lily’s identity.

Only one Masked Singer judge correctly guessed Teddi’s identity

After Teddi’s character performed “Jack and Diane,” one of her father’s iconic songs, the four judges continued to scratch their heads. However, this particular performance did make Jenny McCarthy rave about how much Calla Lily had “blossomed.” And then, in reviewing all of Calla Lily’s clues, this same judge’s ears finally perked.

“I see a house key, and I see a diamond. And that sounds like a Beverly Hills Housewife to me,” Jenny explained. “Put the clues together: gummy bear. Bear. Teddi. Cougar, dad’s nickname. Mellencamp. Cougar. This is Teddi Mellencamp from the Housewives,” Jenny accurately predicted.

But she also interjected some humbleness here by admitting that she “could be wrong.” However, the clue packages did point “in [Teddi’s] direction,” Jenny noted. And just in case she was right, Jenny next spoke to Teddi, who was still wearing her Calla Lily mask, saying, “I just honor your journey, girlfriend, and I feel so honored to have you here.”

After being voted off and forced to reveal her true identity, Teddi finally unmasked herself, making Jenny the only right judge on her panel.

Meanwhile, Rita Ora chose Selma Blair, while Ken Jeong guessed Christina Applegate. As for Robin Thicke, he stood ten toes down that Calla Lily was Danielle Fishel, since Danielle had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Teddi gave an emotional message as her Masked Singer journey came to an end

Following her unveiling on The Masked Singer, Teddi took everything in. And then, she offered an emotional statement about her journey.

“I’m not a singer by trade, clearly, and so that part was challenging for me,” she began. “Also, a big part of my memory has been askew since my brain surgery. So I was a little bit nervous. But I was excited to push myself out of my comfort zone and try something new, and it felt like it gave me a little bit of life,” Teddi emotionally stressed.

Teddi’s life took a drastic turn following her 2025 health update. Instead of fighting over trivial matters on RHOBH, Teddi had no choice but to gather up her courage and fight for her life. In doing so, her days quickly filled with surgeries and treatment options to knock back her cancer. So, when we heard Teddi admit that The Masked Singer injected “a little bit of life” back into her steps, reality quickly settled into our hearts.

Three cheers for Calla Lily, otherwise known as Teddi.

The Masked Singer streams on Hulu, while Real Housewives of Beverly Hills streams on Peacock.

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.

Roughly two months ago, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Bronwyn Newport remembered her worth. Shortly thereafter, she left Todd Bradley in the wind. It’s fine, Todd’s (allegedly) used to living in wafts. Regardless, Bronwyn is moving on to Brandon Good, a model with abs and a solid face card. And now, a moment of silence for her upgrade.

Fans are LOVING this for Bronwyn. On RHOSLC, Todd’s character was either a love-him-or-leave-him type. Was Todd a grounding presence, or was he more of a dismissive, controlling sort? That was always the question, but in her second season, Bronwyn seemingly leaned into the latter, hence her big separation reveal at the end of Season 6.

Now, Bronwyn’s moving forward. And, per usual, she’s going all in with her latest fashion accessory, because why wear a normal piece of arm candy when you can tout a poised, well-dressed man instead? To celebrate Bronwyn’s liberation, here’s the tea on all things Brandon.

Bronwyn Newport’s new boyfriend is model Brandon Good

Bronwyn and Brandon are a new thing, but a good thing. However, the path from Todd to Brandon wasn’t always clear. But as Bronwyn finally realized, she and Todd “weren’t working forward anymore; we weren’t a team anymore. I was just like PR for him.”

So, as sad and nuanced as it was for Bronwyn to walk away from her marriage, off she still went. And after she did, life rewarded her by sticking a model directly in her path. According to a source, “They’ve been seeing each other for a few weeks. It’s new, but they’re enjoying getting to know one another. Bronwyn’s really happy.”

On his since-expired Instagram stories, Brandon shared a vague shot of himself in an elevator, captioned, “Date night, Chicago Broadway opening.” Brandon understands the assignment. As fans quickly realized, he was clocking in to help Bronwyn support her costars, since this date night was in honor of Whitney Leavitt’s Broadway debut. Like many other Bravo stars, Whitney is currently portraying Roxie Hart, the fictional, limelight-loving protagonist slash “murderess” in Chicago, on Broadway.

And after, as seen above in the third image of his latest post, Brandon and the equally fashionable Bronwyn hit up the runways of Paris’ Fashion Week, looking like an expensive, well-oiled unit.

How old is Bronwyn Newport, and what is Brandon Good’s age?

Is Bronwyn entering her cougar era, or are she and Brandon similarly aged? Either way, it’s their prerogative, but Bronwyn is older. She celebrated her 40th birthday last September. Meanwhile, Brandon is 32 years old.

Brandon had a small-town upbringing, living just outside the borders of western Pennsylvania. But after a local photographer snapped a few images of him, Brandon’s entire world changed. You see, this photographer sent Brandon’s pictures to an agency in Manhattan. And shortly after, Brandon signed on to model with firms in New York, Milan, Brussels, and Los Angeles.

When not modeling or dressing up with Bronwyn, Brandon is adding to his portfolio, which includes music videos for well-known artists like Troye Sivan, Iggy Azalea, and Mariah Carey. He can also be found working on his Good Model podcast, alongside Straz, “a coming soon” site built to help aspiring actors with their craft.

In an interview with MMSCENE Magazine in 2019, Brandon labeled his mother as his “hero,” and he also noted that “Love is the only thing” our world needs. Brandon also admitted that he shares “Very little” of his personal life online. Bronwyn is already on his grid, so this romance is looking promising, no?

Bronwyn has been celebrated for her “upgrade” after leaving husband Todd Bradley

Most fans are standing in support of Bronwyn. In fact, there’s already an entire thread of cheerleaders hyping up her new romance over on Reddit. Here, one Redditor commically penned, “She deserves to look at something pretty for a change.” But another nearly gagged me when quoting Chanel Ayan, noting that Bronwyn “deserves someone young and good cock and respects her.”

As for Brandon’s pros, “He looks to be gout-free!” He’s also “fine FINE.” And as one woman on a similar journey wrote, “This is the kind of glow-up I love for us post-separation/divorced girlies!!” But most importantly, “She is well rid of that abusive daddy figure she was married to.”

However, a growing number of fans are starting to dissect this storyline, suggesting that “This is not her man. This is hired help.” To explain, last year, Luann de Lesseps posed for the cover of Playgirl Magazine. And at her side, wearing only a pair of form-fitting underwear, was Brandon.

“So he’s a housewife hopper,” one Redditor sighed. Agreeing, another clocked that “they know him irl and that he’s wanted to get famous for a long time.” Even still, it “Sounds like he’s willing to be a placeholder for the attention,” and “Bronwyn deserves some fun.” So, either way, this romance is currently a win-win situation for both parties.

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.

Last night, Season 4 of Below Deck Down Under premiered. We’re only one episode in. Yet, we already have some predictions for this season.

In the galley, tensions are quickly mounting. Poor Alesia Harris. She has “a passion” for cooking. But as Ben Robinson’s already noted, her “passion” isn’t translating well.

Meanwhile, the interior department is already down one stew. In Episode 1, Joe Caron received a phone call from home. Her grandfather was in the hospital, and things weren’t looking great. So, Joe decided to leave filming, right as the first chaotic group of charter guests came aboard.

With one less hand in the interior department, demanding charter guests who thrive on rumors, nastiness, and Diet Coke, and bubbling tensions, both good and bad, arising out of every corner, BDDU Season 4 is off to the races. Regarding the rest of this season, these are now our top storyline predictions.

Alesia Harris will be fired or quit on Below Deck Down Under Season 4

Alesia made her debut as a BDDU sous-chef in Season 3. Her interactions with that season’s chef didn’t exactly land well. Unfortunately, history seems to be repeating itself for Alesia in Season 4. Her new chef, Ben, demands perfection, but perfection isn’t exactly Alesia’s middle name.

Alesia knows that she’s green. She’s never attended culinary school. However, she does have something to prove to her mother, who doubts her career path as a chef. But in her very first scene with Ben this season, he made sure to note that her cutting skills were lacking, making Alesia’s face visibly fall.

Then, Alesia used the wrong pan and burnt some eggs. Next, she burnt her hand, only to later overspill one of her pans while helping Ben make a cheesecake. Now, Ben is a blunt man. Therefore, his reactions to several of Alesia’s blunders have already come across as harsh, as evidenced by Alesia’s dejected responses.

On one hand, we already have a chef crashing out in the galley, making me cheer, BDDU IS BACK! But on the other hand, Alesia won’t last long if things continue as they are. And when we saw the trailer at the end of Episode 1, showing Alesia crying in the wheelhouse, admitting that this gig might be crushing her soul, the first prediction formed. Basically, Alesia is either going to quit, get fired, or learn how to adapt to Ben’s cheeky ways as this season progresses.

Furthering firing speculations, in the end trailer, Daisy Kelliher is seemingly telling Alesia that she can get off the boat. But edits are meant to be tricky. So, who knows? But either way, something has to give for Alesia.

A love triangle approaches BDDU for Jenna Woudberg, Ben Robinson, and Eddy Hounsell

What even is this franchise without a love triangle or two, no? Typically, these messy scenarios consist of one male and two females. But this season, Jenna Woudberg might be turning things on their heads. Like the “still to come” trailer teased, this stew is about to rock both Ben and Eddy Hounsell’s yachts.

Ben is newly single, as he and his fiancée recently called off their engagement. He is now $50k poorer, because weddings require all the things. So, as he said, “the best way to get over someone” is to get underneath another. But he was talking about the motor yacht Katina here, joking, “I think Katina could be my new girl.”

Meanwhile, Eddy is one of the new deckhands this season. He had an awkward childhood, but once he learned how to lean into his smaller frame, Eddy grew “a lot more confident.” During his first episode, he noted that Alesia was his type. But in the trailer, we heard Jenna admitting, “Eddy is on my mind.”

“But it’s nice, getting to know Ben,” she added. The frame then shows Jenna and Ben walking hand in hand. “I like you, okay?” Ben admits. But then we see Eddy, angrily walking away.

“If you want my advice, stay the f*ck away from the two of them,” Daisy advised, as the screen went dark on our first predicated love triangle of the season.

João Franco and Daisy Kelliher’s boatmance will hurt her relationship with Chef Ben

João Franco and Daisy have never worked together before. But here they are, leading their department heads on BDDU. However, as the trailer teases, they will soon be more than just colleagues. In an upcoming episode, these two will breezily inquire about each other’s statuses, which kicks off a love story of sorts for these staple yachties.

As Daisy joked, she typically goes for “d*ckheads,” which, YEP, and no comment. Then, we see clip after clip of Daisy and João kissing, both on and off the yacht. But are they in love, someone unseen asks? “I don’t know,” we heard Daisy answering.

But as we also saw, Daisy will struggle with Ben this season. Their heated interactions may or may not be why we also saw João struggling with Ben in the trailer. During Episode 1, Ben and João got along just fine. But later this season, João will seemingly approach Ben on Daisy’s behalf, causing Ben to (verbally) revolt.

Before this season aired, Daisy noted that Ben liked to act like a guest during filming. And sure enough, in João’s heated scene with Ben, Ben is in a guest cabin, seemingly living his best spread-out life without guests on board. Viewers can’t hear what João said to Ben, but Ben is yelling, “f*cking wanker” at João. Whatever happened here, I predict that Daisy and João’s boatmance will further sink her working relationship with Ben.

TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR PREDICTIONS FOR BDDU SEASON 4?

The post Our Below Deck Down Under Season 4 Predictions After Episode 1 appeared first on Reality Tea.

Tonight, Below Deck Down Under Season 4 premieres. And when it does, several familiar faces will be at the helm. This season, Captain Jason Chambers clearly scored a major win with the casting department. But even though he’s getting the cream of this franchise’s crop, problems will still arise onboard.

This season, Captain Jason’s right-hand lady is none other than Daisy Kelliher, who jumped ship from Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Since the fate of BDSY remains unknown, this opportunity is a great one for Daisy. That is, as long as her interior team can also rise to the occasion.

Meanwhile, João Franco is walking onboard as the exterior department head. Now, João has appeared on Below Deck Mediterranean and BDDU. And thankfully, he and Daisy seemingly get along this season, based on everything we’ve read so far.

Finally, in the galley, Ben Robsinson is making his way out of retirement. Ben hasn’t worked on a yacht in years. But this season, Captain Jason needed a last-minute replacement, and luckily for him, Ben just so happened to be free.

Clearly, with three returning department heads, consider fans ready for BDDU Season 4. But what have these OGs teased about this all-star season?

Daisy Kelliher says Chef Ben Robinson “challenged” her on Below Deck Down Under Season 4

As seen in the trailer, Daisy and Ben have never worked together before. And after this season, they may never work together again. Unless, that is, you take Ben’s words over Daisy’s.

To explain, when asked at BravoCon how Season 4 went, Daisy made sure to note that Ben “challenged [her] in every way possible.” However, “at first, he was great. But then I learned he couldn’t tell time, so that was a big problem when it came to dinner service,” she explained. At her side, Ben rolled his eyes in good humor, and then he challenged Daisy’s stance.

“I’m English. Different timezone,” Ben quipped. Daisy laughed, but then she further explained that their relationship this season was “interesting.” Because in addition to his failed “timekeeping,” Ben also behaves “like a guest” this season, Daisy revealed, noting her shock that Ben wasn’t wearing one of their guests’ robes while sitting on this panel.

So, what rubbed Ben the wrong way about Daisy? “Nothing really, to be honest,” Ben answered. “Actually, I thought we had a great relationship. I’m completely blindsided.”

But the way João, Daisy, and even Ben immediately started laughing teases otherwise. Whatever happens here, at least they can all laugh about it now. However, the verdict is still out on Alesia Harris’s take. As of now, her statements about BDDU Season 4 are limited.

Daisy and João Franco have a strong connection

On this same BravoCon panel, the moderator noted that Daisy seemed to share a strong bond with João, at least according to the trailer. When pressed about whether it was “love or lust at first sight” with João, Daisy stammered. After admitting that her “adrenaline [was] going so fast,” Daisy finally acknowledged that their bond was more of “a slow build.”

“I’m a slow builder, so I don’t wanna give too many spoilers away,” Daisy continued. “But João and I had a great relationship, we’re friends,” she stressed. Yet, when saying the word “friends,” Daisy did so flirtatiously, making João laugh on their shared stage. Apart from his laughter, João didn’t add anything extra to Daisy’s statement, but we do know that, whatever happens, João is already back with his ex, whose name is not Daisy.

Regardless, after their cameras went down, Daisy appeared on Watch What Happens Live. While here, she reiterated that she and João “worked well as a team.” And, as far as João goes, last October, he teased, “THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE CRAZY RIDE!!”

He was speaking about their crossover episodes with the cast of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. And as João further stressed, “Can’t wait until you all see our side of these episodes.” Fans won’t have to wait very long for this, as these hot messes are the very first charter guests of Season 4.

Captain Jason Chambers promises “dynamics” shifting in the BDDU crew

Between the hot and cold pairings of his department heads, Captain Jason might experience a turbulent season. Or not. Captains never really see the drama until each season airs. Even still, he admits that he’s lucky to have such capable yachties on board.

As Captain Jason explained to TV Insider, this season, Daisy thankfully “blew it right out of the park. Her process, of wanting to perform at her best, is all we can ask for, and she did. First and foremost, she wants to do her job very well. That’s all you can ask from the cruise.”

Regarding Ben and João, these yachties also gained Captain Jason’s trust. But the crew dynamics as a whole will either sink or swim this season, he admits.

“I think the crew dynamic that goes on, I can only imagine what happened off the boat because I hadn’t seen it myself. What I see we put together and what we came out with, I had to understand what was happening. I’m [mostly] worried about what is happening at work, but you could see the dynamics shift so many times with the crew. But at the end of the day, in front of the house, we were spot on with the charter guests,” Captain Jason detailed.

He continued, “You’re going to see João’s character come out, Daisy’s, and all the crew that participated. All of them have a great story to tell. I think we got there in the end.”

The post Below Deck Down Under Season 4: Everything the OGs Teased Before Tonight’s Premiere appeared first on Reality Tea.

Season 4 of The Traitors has been nothing short of iconic. The cast has been a great mix of reality TV personalities, blended with some athletes and poor Donna Kelce. In addition, host Alan Cumming has kept players and viewers on their toes.

Not only is Alan serving us looks to die for, but he has amped up the pressure in the castle. Not only for the Faithfuls, but also for the Traitors. Alan selected Real Housewives alums Lisa Rinna and Candiace Dillard Bassett to don the cloak. In addition, Love Island USA star Rob Rausch joined them. In a game-changing twist, Alan picked a Secret Traitor at the start of the game. No one knew their identity, including the other Traitors. It was a powerful position in this game.

Of course, this season of The Traitors has already made its mark, and the game isn’t even over! Let’s take a look at the way Season 4 has already made history.

The Traitors Season 4 saw a murdered contestant make an accusation for the first time

Alan has been putting the Traitors through it this season! They committed one murder in plain sight, as well as a face-to-face murder. Then, Alan tasked them with the craziest challenge of all: a murder in front of all the players. Of course, Lisa volunteered to wear the ruby brooch to the banquet. If a Faithful touched it, they would die.

“This is like the Super Bowl of murders,” Lisa noted as she prepared to enter the Black Banquet. This former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star loves the drama! And both the paranoia and fashion game at this dinner were next-level.

Lisa targeted Yam Yam Arocho by asking him to adjust her statement jewelry. Perfect plan. Zero notes. Then, Alan arrived with two executioners and announced yet another twist. Someone had been murdered, but there were two antidotes. Two players could drink the serum, and if they were the ones who were cursed, they would survive. After squabbling and nearly wrestling over the antidote, Survivor star Natalie Anderson and Kristen Kish drank it.

Unfortunately, for Yam Yam, his time was up. When Alan announced that he had been murdered, Yam Yam wasted no time pointing at Lisa. As he was dragged away, he yelled, “Lisa. It was Lisa that kissed me. Lisa!”

Of course, Lisa denied it, but having the murder victim accuse you was pretty damning evidence. And try as she might, she was unable to shift enough people to vote for Natalie. This was the first time in the history of Traitors that a murder victim made an accusation. Was Yam Yam partly wrong? Yes. But he was correct that it was Lisa, and it spelled her doom in the game.

Two Real Housewives alumni were immediately chosen as Traitors

We have seen Real Housewives players in the turret during other seasons. During Season 2, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks was literally killing it until her fellow Traitor, Dan Gheesling, turned on her.

During Season 3, the turret was filled with mostly gamers, including Survivor’s Carolyn Wiger and “Boston Rob” Mariano, along with Big Brother alum Danielle Reyes. Plus, RuPaul’s Drag Race star Bob the Drag Queen was part of this high-octane group. This turret was filled with tension, suspicion, and ultimately, traitor-on-traitor attacks. During a round table, Boston Rob ousted Bob, but on the way out, Bob dropped a hint that Rob was a Traitor. Can’t these Traitors just get along?

It was a different story for Season 3. There were five housewives in the castle, and Alan selected Real Housewives of Potomac alum Candiace and Lisa as Traitors. This marked the first time that two housewives shared the castle’s turret.  

For the first several episodes of the season, this traitorous trio worked together in murderous harmony. However, Rob eventually voted for Lisa at an earlier round table, so he didn’t look suspicious voting for his faithful allies. And now, Robby Bobby is in big trouble with Candiace after Lisa’s banishment. Hell hath no fury like an angry housewife. Buckle up!

The Secret Traitor twist made history, but might need a rework

Perhaps the biggest twist in the game was the introduction of the Secret Traitor. This player was selected as soon as the group arrived, but their identity was a secret to everyone but Alan. Their superpower was the ability to create a short list of players to be murdered. The regular Traitors had to select victims from this list. So, the Secret Traitor held a great deal of power.

From the jump, the contestants were suspicious of Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna. They felt that she was too quiet and observant. In the end, Bachelor alum Colton Underwood latched onto this theory and pushed it forward, resulting in Donna being banished during Episode 3. In a jaw-dropping moment, it was revealed that she was the red-robed Secret Traitor.

While this plot twist made history, it also might need a bit of work. Having the Secret Traitor ousted almost immediately felt like the concept was a throwaway. Perhaps introducing the Secret Traitor a couple of episodes in would heighten the tension and allow the Secret Traitor a chance to be more involved in the gameplay. It could also cause a bit of chaos in the turret, which is always a gift for Traitors’ viewers.

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.

Let’s face it, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City viewers weren’t exactly shocked when Bronwyn Newport and Todd Bradley separated. Just look at RHOSLC celebrity superfan John Oliver’s stone-faced, deadpan reaction on Watch What Happens Live. Bronwyn bravely shared a lot about her marriage this season, and the cracks were apparent. There were rumors of Todd’s infidelity, embarrassingly while farting. Then there was the cherry incident, which only Mary Cosby found endearing.

But after officially announcing her separation during Part 3 of the RHOSLC Season 6 reunion, Bronwyn is sharing a lot more about how her marriage reached the point of no return. And about her present and future relationship with Todd. Here’s everything we know about why RHOSLC’s Bronwyn Newport decided to end her marriage to Todd Bradley.

Bronwyn announced her separation from Todd Bradley on Part 3 of the RHOSLC reunion

After catching strays about Todd’s behavior all reunion, Bronwyn officially announced the separation in Part 3. Most of the ladies weren’t shocked. Except for Mary, who cried “No!” Whitney Rose, who had her own marriage struggles, broke down in tears and ran off stage to see her husband Justin.

Bronwyn emphasized it was her decision. She admitted she was trying desperately to save her marriage before. For instance, she didn’t really want an open relationship, but suggested it out of desperation. She also said Todd wasn’t willing to talk about their issues. One of the last straws was when Todd chastised her for confiding in Whitney. If she couldn’t discuss their issues with Todd or with anyone else, she felt hopeless and alone.

Bronwyn explained more about her decision in an interview with People. Despite their problems on the show, she said they had a wonderful summer together, where he was very supportive after her dad passed away. But once RHOSLC Season 6 began airing, the problems came back.

Her 40th birthday was a wake-up call that led to a lot of reflection about her future. Around her birthday, she remembered a meaningful conversation with her father 15 years prior. Bronwyn realized, “if I wanted anything out of that conversation, I was going to have to do it for myself.”  Bronwyn told Todd she wanted to seperate, and they did so “quietly” and “slowly.”

Attending BravoCon without Todd made her feel more secure about the seperation. It was “the first time that I felt like if he wasn’t [in my life], I was going to be okay.” Afterwards, she “felt okay and happy and fine and like there were things for me in the future.”

Did RHOSLC break up Bronwyn and Todd’s marriage?

At the reunion, Bronwyn maintained that the show didn’t break up her and Todd. She felt they were already headed for separation. The show just sped things up a bit. She said the same to People, but admitted that watching RHOSLC was “eye-opening.” Bronwyn explained, “I didn’t like how needy I was, and I didn’t like how upset or defensive I was. It wasn’t a relationship that I felt like I wanted to be going forward with anymore.”

In one of the reunion’s most shocking moments, Bronwyn revealed that Todd watched RHOSLC in its entirety, starting in Season 1. He was upset about how he came across. For instance, that he never looked her in the eye when they talked. He also made the brutal choice to look up everything fans said about him on Reddit.

“Todd hates the show,” Bronwyn told People. “I don’t think that’s a surprise to anyone who’s seen it. He thinks that I didn’t need to do it, or I didn’t need to prove to other people who I was or who I am.”

Bronwyn emphasized there’s more to Todd than viewers and Redditors realize. “Something you don’t see on the show, is how charismatic he is,” she claimed, adding, “Todd really adores people and is so helpful. If he knows somebody or he knows something that can help you, he’s going to do it for you.”

Are Bronwyn and Todd still living together?

During Part 3 of the RHOSLC Season 6 reunion, Bronwyn said that she and Todd were no longer living together. While she was in Utah, Todd stayed in New York. Despite the reunion filming in New York, Bronwyn said she had no plans to see him at the time. Ouch!

However, it seems things may have changed since the reunion filmed in December. Because People reported that Bronwyn and Todd are still residing in Utah together despite their separation. She said they’re doing so for the dogs. In addition to her pets, Bronwyn still has a very full house. Her mom Muzzy is still residing there, along with Bronwyn’s daughter Gwen and Gwen’s boyfriend Logan. It appears the People photoshoot took place in Bronwyn’s home…presumably on a day Todd wasn’t there.

Regardless, Bronwyn insists, “I thrive in the crazy.” She even hopes that, one day, she and Todd will be in a good enough place to go on double dates. But despite the TikToks and memes, Bronwyn insists that she will not be dating Whitney. Meanwhile, Todd was already spotted on what appeared to be a date. Maybe we’ll see more of the awkward living arrangement on RHOSLC Season 7. Though it’s doubtful Todd will agree to film anymore. Especially after seeing the brutal Reddit comments! However, Bronwyn is hopeful about the future, and also hopes to stay on the show.

Johny Fernandes started 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 7 off as a likable cast member. He appeared on the season with Chloe Fabiano, whom he had met at his job on the Jolly Pirate cruise in Aruba. Chloe and Johny had an instant attraction to one another, but didn’t commit to a relationship right away. Once they did, however, Chloe decided to move to Aruba permanently from Boston to be with Johny. 

After Chloe moved to Aruba, she and Johny ran into several issues. Chloe faced major trust issues with Johny, and even went as far as spying on him at work. Johny, on the other hand, felt that Chloe wasn’t ready for marriage. Ultimately, things didn’t work out, and Chloe left Aruba after a massive blindside from Johny. Recently, however, Johny revealed a huge secret that shocked 90 Day Fiancé fans. While Johny ended the season as a villain, this new revelation has made him even more controversial. 

Johny Fernandes blindsided Chloe Fabiano at the end of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 7

At the end of Season 7, Chloe dropped a shocking bombshell about Johny. She revealed that when Johny went out, she looked through his phone since she was having doubts about his loyalty. She found several alarming things, including messages in which Johny asked another girl for nudes. Some of the messages had been sent while Johny and Chloe were filming interviews together, which infuriated her even further. 

When Chloe confronted Johny about what she found, he didn’t respond well. He claimed that he had made a few mistakes simply because he’s “a guy”. Johny didn’t offer Chloe any sincere apology and instead tried to turn the blame around on her. He insulted her and claimed he no longer wanted to be with her anyway. However, when Chloe left, he ran after her and tried to make amends. Chloe ended up leaving anyway, and by the Tell All, the two were officially broken up.

Previews for the second part of the Tell All hint at Johny dropping a huge bombshell on Chloe

During the first part of the Season 7 Tell All, Chloe and Johny rehashed their drama throughout the season. Johny’s cheating came up, and the majority of the cast sided with Chloe on the matter. The pair shocked everyone, however, by revealing that they were intimate on the night of their huge fight. Nonetheless, they decided to officially break up, and they haven’t seen each other since then.

While part of Chloe and Johny’s segment aired during the first part of the Tell All, the rest will be featured during the second half. Previews show Johny sharing news about a new relationship. Johny indicates that he has a new partner in life, but claims that things are “complicated”. The preview shows Chloe breaking down in tears upon hearing the news, prompting viewers to wonder what it could be. 

Johny and his new girlfriend recently announced that he is having a baby soon, to the shock of viewers

Shortly after the first half of the Tell All aired, photos surfaced online of Johny and a new woman. The pictures showed a maternity shoot, indicating that Johny is now a soon-to-be father. This came as a huge shock to viewers, particularly since Johny and Chloe likely haven’t been broken up for a long time. 

Fans were also surprised that Johny allowed his girlfriend to post the photos before the news dropped on the Tell All. Following the post, both Johny and his girlfriend changed their Instagram accounts to private. However, Instagram blogger Shabooty was able to screenshot and share one of the photos.  Many viewers wondered if Johny’s new girlfriend is the woman he was messaging with while he was still with Chloe. It appears that she’s from Aruba as well, but not much else is known about her. It will be interesting to see how Johny explains this at the Tell All, as it must’ve happened shortly after Chloe left Aruba.
