Summer House, Season 10 has just begun, but tension in the house is already at a boiling point. In a preview for Episode 2, Kyle Cooke is seen visibly upset after his wife, Amanda Batula, crawls out of bed to spend time with another co-star. Fans were expecting drama between the couple this season given their recent announcement, but we didn’t know it would start so soon. On Monday, January 19, Kyle and Amanda confirmed they are separating in a joint Instagram statement. The announcement dropped just two weeks before the season premiere, signaling to fans that Season 10 must have been a challenging time for the couple.

The preview for Episode 2 shows brewing tension between Amanda and Kyle. Here’s what you need to know.

In the four-minute clip, Amanda decides to forgo quality time with Kyle to climb into bed with co-stars Jesse Solomon and Ciara Miller. A confused Kyle goes looking for his wife, and sees her cozied up in bed with Jesse and Ciara. He walks away, murmuring under his breath, “I’m so sick of this f*cking energy. F*cking bullsh*t.” When Jesse asks Amanda if she thinks Kyle is upset, she appears unfazed, continuing to scroll through her phone.

Amanda opened up about the end of her relationship with Kyle during a February 3 appearance on Watch What Happens Live. The Summer House star admitted it was difficult dealing with online opinions about her marriage.

“When you hear something so many times, you start to believe it or think more about it,” she said. “I’m not mad about it. I think it’s maybe something I needed to hear.”

Summer House airs on Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock the next day.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards opened up about her on-again, off-again relationship with Mauricio Umansky during a January 29 appearance on Watch What Happens Live. Fans have been following the ups and downs of their relationship since they announced their separation in July 2023. Recently, reconciliation rumors surfaced online, leading fans to believe the Bravo couple had reunited. Kyle set the record straight during her recent WWHL appearance. Here’s what you need to know. 

Are Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky back together?

During the Thursday episode, Andy Cohen asked Kyle about a rumor that had surfaced online, in which an insider claimed to have witnessed Kyle and Mauricio canoodling at an A-list New Year’s Eve party in Aspen, Colorado. Kyle dismissed the claim, telling Andy, “Someone made that story up.”

She confirmed that she and her ex attended the same New Year’s Eve party, but there was no “canoodling.”

“We went to Goldie Hawn’s house. We’re friends with Kate [Hudson],” she shared. “I don’t know where that story came from. We went with the whole family.” 

Kyle’s sister, Kathy Hilton, hinted that she may know who the mystery source is, but she did not reveal a name. 

Andy then asked Kyle if she and Mauricio are any closer to filing for divorce. 

“We have had conversations that we had not had during this season since then,” she responded. “We still haven’t filed, but we’ve had conversations about what this is going to look like and all of that.” 

Kyle has been open about feeling conflicted about the prospect of divorce on Season 15 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. 

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

“Boston Rob” Mariano and Bob the Drag Queen have put their Season 3 feud aside for a new project. The former Traitors are the hosts of Peacock’s official The Traitors podcast, which launched on Thursday, January 8, following the Season 4 premiere.

Together, they break down the strategy, drama, and fashion of each episode. They also bring on eliminated players to discuss their game and where it all went wrong. You can listen to the podcast on Spotify, Peacock, Apple Podcasts, and Peacock’s YouTube channel.

Reality Tea had the chance to chat with Rob and Bob about their new endeavor and where their friendship currently stands after their famous Season 3 rift.

Boston Rob and Bob the Drag Queen dish on new podcast

When Peacock announced the hosts of The Traitors podcast, fans were surprised by the unlikely pairing. After all, Bob and Rob didn’t leave Season 3 on the best of terms.

The two started as allies, working in tandem to eliminate major threats from the castle. But over time, Rob noticed Bob held considerable sway in the Traitors’ Turret, which hindered his ability to make decisions.

In an attempt to gain more control, Rob partnered with Faithful Dylan Efron to banish Bob from the castle. He delivered a convincing speech at the roundtable, putting the nail in Bob’s coffin. 

Fans suspected the two were at odds, given Bob’s savage departure from the show, but the duo told us they have moved past game rivalries and developed a friendship. 

“Out of all the folks from the castle, Rob is probably the person I talk to the most,” Bob told us. “It’s kind of ironic considering that [Rob and I] were such enemies in the castle. It’s truly a story about how, through hard work and dedication, any friendship can prevail.” 

Rob said that Bob’s involvement in the podcast made him want to sign on. 

“When I found out that Bob would be my counterpart, I was really excited,” he said. “It’s basically a review show of the hit show The Traitors. We bring different perspectives to the podcast. We’re having a great time doing it.” 

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.

There has long been debate within The Traitors fanbase over whether winning the game is easier as a Traitor or a Faithful.

We would be amiss to ignore that the Traitors hold considerable power in the game. They control the murders, protecting them from one of the game’s more random elements. That immunity gives them an advantage that is hard to ignore. However, Traitors must embrace deception and risk, and not every player can pull if off. In fact, some players shy away from the more strategic parts of the game.

We consulted two former Traitors, Bob the Drag Queen and “Boston Rob” Mariano, to get their thoughts on which role they believe is more difficult to master.

Rob and Bob are experts when it comes to life inside the Traitors castle. The Season 3 alums are the hosts of the official Traitors podcast, which is available on Spotify, Peacock, and Peacock’s YouTube channel. Together, they breakdown all the strategy, drama, and fashion from Season 4.

We spoke to the former players about the new season and discussed which role has a better shot at the prize pot. 

“We’ve seen it both ways,” Rob said, referring to the fact that both roles have won the game. “There is a lot [about this game] you cannot control. There is a lot that is left to chance…From the outset, the Traitor role has an advantage.” 

“I think it depends on your constitution. How you are as a person,” Bob added. “If you are a person who cannot hold secrets, and you don’t feel good picking people off one-by-one, maybe the Traitor life isn’t for you.”

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.

The post The Traitors Legends Boston Rob and Bob the Drag Queen Wade Into Traitors & Faithfuls Debate — Exclusive appeared first on Reality Tea.

We’re halfway through The Traitors Season 4, and somehow three ruthless Traitors are still at large. They’ve been running circles around our innocent Faithfuls, whose instincts seem to fail them at every turn. And while we sympathize, we have to admit — it’s fun seeing the bad guys win.

Reality Tea got the chance to chat about this phenomenon with two former Traitors, “Boston Rob” Mariano and Bob the Drag Queen. We unpacked why rooting for the bad guys is so irresistible, and they revealed who they believe is playing the best game.

Here’s what you need to know…

Rob Mariano and Bob the Drag Queen reveal their favorite players

Rob and Bob are well-versed in all the drama and strategy taking place in Alan Cumming’s Scottish castle this season. Together, they host the official Traitors companion podcast, available on Spotify, Peacock, Apple Podcasts, and Peacock’s YouTube.

Reality Tea spoke to the duo ahead of the release of Episode 7, which will be available on Peacock on Thursday, January 29, at 9 p.m. ET. We asked the hosts who they are rooting for this season, and they revealed they are Team Traitor.

“I worship at the altar of Candiace [Dillard Bassett],” Bob said. “Candiace is the diva, she’s the icon, I love her.”

Rob echoed Bob’s sentiment, saying Candiace is playing a good game. He also shouted out Traitor Rob Rausch, complimenting his under-the-radar gameplay.

In addition to revealing their favorite players, the pair spoke about why viewers are more drawn to the Traitors than the Faithfuls.

“This show is so insidious because it makes you root for the bad guy,” Bob said. “You always want the Traitors to win. I don’t know what it is about this show.”

“There are people [who] are playing good Faithful games. The problem with playing a good Faithful game is that it’s very boring,” Rob added. “It’s not exciting to watch … The Traitor game is the more exciting role.”

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.

Season 4 of The Traitors is must-watch television. The Thursday, January 8 premiere smashed records for the streaming service, drawing “638 million viewing minutes for the week of Jan. 5-11,” according to Nielsen streaming data. Peacock has taken note of the show’s growing popularity and, in response, has launched a companion podcast hosted by Season 3 cast members “Boston Rob” Mariano and Bob the Drag Queen. 

Reality Tea had the chance to chat with Bob and Rob ahead of the release of Episode 7, which will be available to stream on Peacock on Thursday, January 29, at 9 p.m. ET. The hosts shared their thoughts on the season so far, including Colton Underwood’s controversial decision to offer an alliance to Lisa Rinna, who is a Traitor. 

Here’s what you need to know.

Rob Mariano and Bob the Drag Queen react to Colton Underwood’s unprecedented move

Rob and Bob are well-versed in the intricacies of the game. The two were selected to be Traitors in Season 3, setting them on a path of deception, treachery, and murder. The pair had an impressive run, evading capture by assisting in banishing the innocent, and choosing their murder victims wisely. But eventually, their reign came to an end, and they left Scotland without the prize pot.

Their insider knowledge of the game makes them the perfect pair to break down Colton’s confusing play in Episode 6. The Bachelor alum felt confident that Lisa Rinna was guilty of being a Traitor, so he approached her and attempted to make a deal. His silence for her protection. Unfortunately for Colton, Lisa didn’t take the bait, and the conversation only increased his odds of being taken out of the game.

We asked Bob and Rob what they thought of this innovative move by Colton.

“I didn’t hate the sentiment at all. As a matter of fact, I like the out of the box thinking,” he said. “The problem I think was in the execution. He offered her, basically, an extortion. He was trying to get her to admit that she was a Traitor. By doing so, it put her on the defensive.”

Bob suggested that Colton could’ve been even more devious.

“What I think he should’ve done is go to her and be like, ‘One of the producers accidentally told me that you’re a Traitor.’ I’d do it really in the corner, try to hide it from the cameras—make it look like I’m not on camera. And I’d be like, ‘In fairness to the game, I’m gonna stop coming for you.’ Then, if she admits it, I’d be like, ‘Got you, b*tch,’” he told us, letting out a big laugh.

The Traitors, Season 4 is heating up! Episodes four and five, released on Thursday, January 15, claimed two more sacrifices, leaving just 15 players remaining in the fight for the prize pot. The last two players eliminated were Faithfuls, meaning three Traitors are still at large. Episode 6 will end another two players’ journey in the castle. And the Faithfuls are running out of chances to stop those dastardly Traitors from stealing their money. So, who will be the next to fall? We have some thoughts.

Here is who we predict will go home in the next episode of The Traitors…

Who could go home in The Traitors Season 4 Episode 6?

Among the 15 players remaining, a few are in danger of being eliminated next episode. Whether it be because they are an appetizing target for the Traitors, or because the Faithfuls are growing wary of them. Colton Underwood and Ron Funches are possible candidates for banishment. Their names have been floating around the castle recently, especially after the evidence they presented at the roundtable resulted in two Faithfuls being banished. The group felt misled by these self-proclaimed leaders, and now they want them removed. 

In addition to those in danger of banishment, there are those is danger of being killed off by the Traitors. It is more difficult to predict who will suffer this fate because we don’t know the Traitors’ motive. They may want to kill a big threat, someone they fear will figure out their identity, or they may choose someone totally random to cause confusion. If they go the random route, I suspect Maura Higgins and Johnny Weir may be in danger. But if they want to get rid of a big threat, Survivor legend Natalie Anderson makes the most sense.

The post The Traitors Season 4 Predictions: Who Is in Danger of Going Home Next? appeared first on Reality Tea.

Stephen Colletti is surprising fans on Season 4 of The Traitors. The Actor has played flawlessly so far, and viewers are taking note. He’s also well-liked by the Faithfuls and is currently not a prime target for the Traitors. With zero heat on his back, we suspect Stephen will go far in the game, especially if he stays in the good graces of the Traitors. He may even take home the prize pot in the finale.

If you were not a teenager in the 2000s, you may be unfamiliar with Stephen’s work. If you don’t have a crystal clear image of Kristin Cavallari screaming, “Stephaaaan,” you have a lot to learn. But don’t worry, we’ll bring you up to speed. Here’s what you need to know about the Traitors star…

Who is The Traitors Season 4’s Stephen Colletti?

Stephen is an actor and TV personality. He rose to fame on the MTV reality show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, which ran from 2004 to 2006. The series captured the lives of a group of high school students living in Laguna Beach, California. In the first season, Stephen struggled to balance his friendship with his best friend, Lauren Conrad, and his girlfriend, Kristin Cavallari. Stephen and Kristin ended their relationship during the show’s run, but they remained friends. In 2022, they launched the a Laguna Beach rewatch podcast, titled, Back to the Beach with Kristin and Stephen.

How old is Stephen Colletti?

Stephen is 39 years old. He was born on February 7, 1986, which means his astrological sign is Aquarius. People with his sign are said to be intelligent and friendly, traits that are quite useful in a game like The Traitors.

What is Stephen Colletti’s job history?

After Laguna Beach, Stephen transitioned into acting, scoring roles in Normal Adolescent Behavior and Mask Maker. His most memorable role was on the CW teen drama One Tree Hill where he played Chase Adams, a high school student involved with the teen abstinence group.

Erika Jayne is off the market! The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star caught fans’ attention in the summer of 2025 when she was photographed holding hands with a new man. The man was later identified as John McPhee, a private security guard for reality TV star Heidi Montag. Erika hasn’t said too much about the romance, but they are still seeing each other.

So, who is Erika Jayne’s boyfriend? Here’s what you need to know.

Who is John McPhee, Erika Jayne’s boyfriend?

John McPhee is the new man in Erika’s life. He is best known for her close professional relationship with reality TV star Heidi Montag. He’s worked on her private security team for years, and is a godfather to her eldest son, Gunner.

How old is John McPhee?

Erika is no stranger to age-gap relationships, but this time around, she’s trying something new. John is reportedly 54 years old, the same age as Erika. Her ex-husband, Tom Girardi, was 32 years her senior. Over the years, she made comments defending her decision to marry an older man, insisting she married for love, not money.

“Tom is 33 years older than me. It was always a bigger deal to everyone else than it was to either of us. All a couple really needs is to have the same life philosophy,” she wrote in her book, Pretty Mess. “I have a thirst for knowledge and Tom has a wealth of it. He is a great mentor, a great teacher and somebody I really admire … That kind of stuff is a powerful aphrodisiac.”

What is John McPhee’s job/career?

John McPhee is a former U.S. Army Special Operations Sergeant Major, Swoon reported. He now works in private security. He spoke about his time in the US Army during an appearance on the Live Q or Die Podcast in 2022.

“I wasn’t fun to be around when I was a US Army Sergeant,” he shared. “The last few years when I was a sergeant major, I was burned out.”

“I was an a**hole all the time,” he added.

John said he has mellowed out in recent years and is trying to get back to the funny guy he used to be.”

What is John McPhee’s relationship history before dating Erika?

We don’t know much about John’s relationship history B.E. (before Erika). We do know the two met at a music festival in London in 2025. Erika was performing, and John was working security for Heidi. She introduced herself and the rest is history. The RHOBH star spoke about the romance on an episode of the Diamonds in the Rough podcast in July 2025.

“I met someone, and we went out on two dates, and then we went to get a manicure-pedicure,” she shared. She described John as a “nice man,” saying she enjoys her time with him.

Donna Kelce became the first Traitor to fall in The Traitors Season 4, Episode 3. In the premiere episode, The NFL mom was selected for a coveted new position in the castle: The Secret Traitor. Unlike the other Traitors, Donna worked in the shadows. Neither the players, the Traitors, nor viewers at home knew her identity. Her job was to produce a murder shortlist that was handed to the Traitors, informing them which players were available for murder.

In Episode 3, Donna’s reign of secrecy came to an end when she was banished at the roundtable. “You got yourselves a Traitor,” she exclaimed before exiting the castle. With Donna gone, the Secret Traitor role is officially back in play. So, which player should be chosen for this powerful role?

Our picks for who the next Traitor should be in Season 4

The Secret Traitor holds considerable power in the game. They determine who is in danger of being axed each episode, and they have the advantage of operating in secret. In previous seasons, the Traitors had to trust that their villainous teammates would not expose them at the roundtable. You would think the Traitors would have each other’s backs, but this has not been the case. In Season 2, Dan Gheesling threw his fellow Traitor, Phaedra Parks, to the wolves in an attempt to save his own game. The following season, “Boston Rob” Mariano did the same to his Traitorous ally, Bob the Drag Queen. So, yes, the Secret Traitor has quite the advantage here. 

We don’t know for sure that a new Secret Traitor will be selected, but I suspect Donna will be replaced. Here are the individuals I believe are the top contenders…

Stephen Colletti 

Stephen Colletti is keeping a low profile on The Traitors, which will likely help him advance in the game. The Laguna Beach alum isn’t on anyone’s radar at the moment. The Faithfuls seem confident he is one of them, and the Traitors don’t seem to view him as an immediate threat. Although Stephen is perceived as non-threatening to his fellow players, it is clear to viewers at home that he is quite intelligent. It is evident in his confessionals that he has a solid understanding of the game and he appears keenly aware of the social dynamics within the castle. For these reasons, I think he would make a great Secret Traitor. I trust that he will be able to conceal his power, and convince his fellow players that he is merely a powerless faithful. Also, he is the only actor in the group, which may give him an advantage.

Tiffany Mitchell

Tiffany Mitchell played a brilliant, strategic game on Big Brother 23. She didn’t win the game, but she earned a prestigious reputation within the Big Brother fandom. There is a reason that Survivor legend Rob Cesternino treated her with such reverence in The Traitors premiere. She really is a big deal within the gamers community.

I believe we are only seeing half of Tiffany’s abilities because of her current position as a Faithful. She is itching for some power, and I hope she gets it. The current Traitors are playing it safe, but I know Tiffany would shake up the game. She would considerable thought into who to put on the shortlist for murder. There is, however, one downside to choosing Tiffany. Unlike Stephen, she isn’t skating by unnoticed. Colton Underwood suspects she is a Traitor, which means she could be headed out the door soon if he brings his theory to the roundtable.

Colton Underwood

Speaking of Colton, he would also be a solid choice to replace Donna. The Bachelor alum has received praise for his perceptiveness and strategic ability, drawing comparisons to Traitors Season 2 standout Peter Weber. Colton didn’t come here to coast. And we want a Secret Traitor who is ready to get their hands dirty. It’s clear to us that Colton is a competitor, but his fellow players may not view him that way. He is best known for being on a dating show, so his cast mates not view him as a strategic threat. His background could help him conceal his role as the Secret Traitor.

The Traitors is available to stream on Peacock.
