The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 17 Recap: Ship Happens
The ladies finally embarked on the boat trip from hell on The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 17, and it made for one of most fun episodes in franchise history.
For months, fans have only been able to hear stories about what transpired during the trip to Cartegena, and it was getting difficult to remain excited about an event that we heard so much about.
When the episode got underway, Bethenny Frankel was still bickering with Carole Radziwill, and Luann de Lesseps was still trying to get Dorinda Medley to apologize.
Carole wondered whether it was time to cancel the boat trip because everyone was so mad at each other.
“I want to go on the boat. We’ll all go on the boat,” said Ramona Singer as though she knew there was a storm brewing. “We’ll resolve this, it’s a beautiful boat.”
“It’s going to be nice,” said Tinsley Mortimer who less than impressed that everyone was fighting on the trip she planned.
The ladies managed to patch things up while on the trip and had a genuinely good time … until they were told they needed to get back on the boat and well away from the island.
The reason was that the sea water was getting difficult to judge, and the ladies did not want to be stranded on an island with horrible weather.
There was no real sense of urgency until Luann was told by a producer to get on the boat without her phone because they were at risk just looking for it,
“The coast guard [called] and said it was time to go,” said de Lesseps. “Apparently the sea picks up at this bewitching hour of 3 p.m., so suddenly, it’s like, ‘Let’s get on the boat.’ ”
“We have to leave now. Are you kidding me? No way,” Singer said. “We want to stay here all day and all night. The water is not any more rough than before. Hello, we’re not in a little rowboat.”
While the ladies seemed to think the producers and coast guard were taking too much precautions, they quickly learned that it was a life or death situation.
The boat started jumping up and down, taking on water, and there was even a burning smell. At one point, it made me feel like I was watching the found-footage final moments of The Real Housewives of New York City.
“I peed my swimsuit,” said Morgan. “I’ve been on many boats in my life. … This is like being on a airplane with one propeller.”
Carole struggled on the outside decking. She was seasick and Bethenny was trying to comfort her, despite the two of them flying all over the place.
“This is crazy. This is really scary. I’m losing my mind,” Frankel said as a siren started going off. “Why is there a siren? I’m freaking out. This isn’t funny. Oh my god, get on the floor!”
The ladies started yelling about there only being one life vest on the boat, and before we knew it, the cameras stopped rolling because the crew had to get themselves to safety.
“The boat was trying to reel in [the anchor] and that was causing the smell,” de Lesseps said in a confessional.
“So we’ve got the captain, who runs out of the cabin with two swords, a la Pirates of the Caribbean, and runs to the top of the boat and he cuts off the anchor.”
“Had it been on the chain, the boat would have capsized, and I wouldn’t have been here to tell the story,” said Singer. “We would have all been killed.”
“We all thought we were going to die at sea,” de Lesseps noted. “It was so bad, even the cameras had to go down because they were holding on for dear life. I’m just holding myself on the ground, praying that the boat’s not going to capsize.”
Added Radziwill: “I put myself in some of the most dangerous places in the world [but] being in Afghanistan during the war and the Middle East during that war was nothing compared to what happened on that boat.”
“By the time we got back to the house, all of us just needed to decompress, and we were suffering a little bit from post dramatic disorder. Because even though no one got hurt, all of us were just like, ‘What the f— just happened.’ ”
As for Tinsley, she was in high spirits on the high seas.
“The boat ride was super dramatic for everybody but me,” she shared.
“I never feared for my life. But I can’t take away how they felt.”
The positive from all of the drama was that it brought the women closer together.
“Last night just reminds us why we love each other so much,” Morgan said. “We’re out of the boat, and now we’re swimming in s—. And by the way, no offense to Colombia because this could happen in any country. But not like this. Never before like this.”
Okay then.
What are your thoughts on the boat trip?

Robby Hayes: What Happens in Paradise STAYS in Paradise!
While a couple of Bachelor in Paradise contestants have spoken out about what they did and did not witness on the set prior to production being shut down, it looks like others are keeping mum.
Robby Hayes announced that he has no comment in perhaps the most tasteless way imaginable, and he’s getting major backlash for it online.
“What happens in paradise, stays in paradise,” he tweeted, adding the hashtags “NoCommenta” and “BIP4.”
Dude … given speculation about what happened, that reads like a borderline rape joke. Not cool.
It would be a fine response if people were asking who drank the most or whether there was an orgy or about basically anything else but what sounds like a sexual assault.
But because people are very much talking about sexual assault, there is no excuse for appropriating the Vegas slogan for this.
Maybe he’s just thinking of this as a scenario of cheating — Corinne does have a real life boyfriend now, after all — and not wanting to tattle.
But nobody shuts down production because somebody stepped out on their significant other, or we wouldn’t have reality television at all.
And heck, if Robby was there, maybe from what he saw things didn’t look that serious.
But Robby should know that people are talking about consent and sexual assault, and he shouldn’t have such a lighthearted tone about it.
Especially if he isn’t going to “clear things up” or whatever.
Have some class, dude.
There’s only so much that we know so far, but allegedly Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson began hooking up in a pool after spending all day drinking.
There was reportedly a lot of touching and even some fingering, with DeMario engaging in some genital-licking.
And according to (mixed) reports, it’s been sounding like they were encouraged, possibly every step of the way, by producers.
What raises the most red flags is that, while DeMario remembers the encounter, Corinne does not.
And while sometimes that sort of thing just happens, we can’t imagine a network pulling the plug on an entire season so suddenly — and expensively — unless they worry that something truly awful has happened.
So far, no one is seriously accusing DeMario or Corinne of any wrongdoing.
And that includes Corinne not blaming DeMario — they were both super intoxicated.
It’s been sounding like, at the bare minimum, the producers and crew should have intervened and ushered them back to their respective rooms.
Honestly, even if they’d been sober, there’s so much of even a blurred sexual encounter that they could have gotten away with airing.
But when intoxication is a factor, consent is not, and any responsible bystander should have separated the two until they slept it off.
Some of the contestants, Robby included, must feel frustrated over being sent home. Some might even blame their pool-partying costars.
But there have been suggestions that the producers wanted something like this to happen, believing that the hookup would lead to higher ratings.
Corinne Olympios’ wild reputation would make her the perfect character for them to steer into thotting it up in the pool, right?
If that’s really what happened, then not only is it shameful — we’d say that getting two people drunk so that they’ll bang on camera is every bit as vile as getting them drunk so that they’ll bang you — but it backfired spectacularly.
Because it sounds like there’s basically zero chance of this season of Bachelor in Paradise happening.
As for what happened … we may not ever know the whole story, but for any investigators involved, we’re sure that the cameras caught plenty of evidence.
Honestly, we’d love to find out that this is just a minor sex scandal with no foul play and maybe just a producer who misunderstood the situation and freaked out a little.
And if that’s the case, Robby Hayes’ tweet would almost be justified.
But it would still be a tone-deaf response, given that fans have heard that the situation is worse than that.
Robby needs to get his act together and be less flippant if he wants fans to put up with him enough to continue his reality career.

Ben Higgins Claps Back at Haters, Explains How "Life Happens"
THIS JUST IN:
Ben Higgins is not a perfect person.
You may have previously thought the ex-Bachelor star was infallible, but Higgins is here to tell you otherwise.
Back in mid-May, Higgins and Lauren Bushnell finally broke up.
The split was a very long time in the making, considering Higgins called off the couple’s engagement last fall (on an episode of their Freeform reality show, natch) – and considering there had been rumors that Higgins was still in touch with JoJo Fletcher.
The latter allegation was never proven correct, but chatter about the twosome’s demise was clearly on the right track.
“It is with heavy hearts that we announce our decision to go our separate ways,” Ben and Lauren said in a joint statement on May 15, adding:
“We feel fortunate for all the time that we had together, and we will remain friends with much love and respect for one another.
“We wish nothing but the best for each other, and ask for your support and understanding at this time.”
Your basic, run of the mill celebrity break-up statement for the most part.
A few days after this split went viral, Higgins opened up about his failed relationship on a podcast.
“Lauren will always be one of my best friends,” the former Bachelor said, adding on air:
“It’s tough. It’s hard to say goodbye to somebody that you spent so much time with and it’s hard to say goodbye to somebody that you really did believe was the one for you.”
But did Ben really believe this?
Or did he string Bushnell along, after asking her to give up her career and move to Denver for him, no less?
We may never know for certain, but Higgins has been under a great deal of fire on social media for his treatment of Lauren.
And he’s finally had it.
Taking to Instagram last night, Higgins went off on a nice little rant, slamming his critics and trying to explain that he never meant Bushnell any harm
“I cannot focus on the negative comments or indecently hateful words being said about me or my relationship even though they do sting,” he wrote alongside a photo of himself and his podcast co-host Ashley Iaconetti.
But Ben was far from finished.
“I will once again clearly tell you I AM NOT PERFECT as none of us are and I have never claimed to be,” he wrote, going on as follows:
“The last few months have not gone the way I would have preferred. My relationships have changed drastically and what I envisioned my life was going to be has been redirected.
“It is sad, but it is nothing you should feel sorry for me about, life happens both the good and bad.”
Ben apparently has been receiving some flak for starting a podcast, perhaps because folks this he only went on The Bachelor to further his professional agenda.
“I do desire to show love in all situations (do I always do that? No, I fail often),” Higgins wrote in this same post, addressing this negative talk and adding:
“To be clear, not that this should be a surprise, but this podcast is a professional decision I have made to enhance my life and career.”
Higgins concluded his lengthy post by offering some life advice to his followers.
What makes him qualified to dole it out? Who knows.
But he still wrote:
Love as hard as you can (even to strangers).
Ask yourself what life is about and pursue your conclusion with passion.
When a good opportunity comes your way that fits your desires take it, because life is short but a lot more fun when you are doing something you enjoy.

Mariah Carey on New Year"s Eve Debacle: S--t Happens (and Producers Sabotaged Me)!
Mariah Carey is shaking off her failed New Year’s Eve performance, while her team is insinuating that she was set up to fail by producers.
By now, you’ve likely seen or at least heard about the music icon’s disastrous night in Times Square on Saturday night in NYC:
Carey failed to complete her planned performances for Ryan Seacrest’s annual New Year’s Rockin’ Eve special, baffling viewers nationwide.
Her reaction, in her own words:
S–t happens, people!
“Have a happy and healthy new year everybody! Here’s to making more headlines in 2017,” she added in a brief message to her Twitter fans.
Severe audio issues 86’d the performance, in which she was supposed to sing “Emotion,” “We Belong Together” and “Auld Lang Syne.”
Throughout the live gig, Carey told the crowd she couldn’t hear through her earpiece, telling them she was still “trying to be a good sport.”
“We didn’t have a [sound]check for this song, so we’ll just say it went to number one,” she said, adding that the track was missing “some of the vocals.”
“It is what it is.”
Carey ended her time on stage, a fitting conclusion to the year that was, by saying, “That was … amazing” and “it just don’t get any better.”
A rep for ABC had no comment when asked what the deal was, while a publicist for Dick Clark Productions was not immediately available.
Likely getting too hammered or too busy reading the Twitter comments, or both, as these were the national pastimes on Saturday night.
Singer Josh Groban notably tweeted, “Any time one of the greatest voices of my generation lip syncs an angel loses its wings.”
He didn’t name names, but it was obvious who he was referring to, and after getting some less-than favorable responses, he apologized.
Groban nixed the tweet and wrote:
“Deleted my tweets about a certain performance because it was made in humor but taken way more meanly than intended. Not out to diss artist.”
Jennifer Lopez also addressed the Carey disaster on social media, by liking a comment on Power 106 KMEL Big Von’s Instagram page.
Big Von shared a link to the performance and wrote, “Ever seen an accident you couldn’t take your eyes away from? That was her tonight!”
Fans noticed that one of the Likes on that comment is from none other than Lopez’s official account. Subtle shade, but shade nonetheless.
Sources in Carey’s camp, meanwhile, told TMZ and Billboard that believe she was “sabotaged” and that “production set her up to fail.”
Anyone buying that?
Dick Clark Productions sure as heck isn’t, and released the following statement about Mariah’s performance in response to those stories:
As the premier producer of live television events for nearly 50 years, we pride ourselves on our reputation and long-standing relationships with artists.
To suggest that DCP, as producer of music shows including the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and Academy of Country Music Awards, would ever intentionally compromise the success of any artist is defamatory, outrageous and frankly absurd.
The production company seemingly acknowledged that the issues faced by the 46-year-old singer were not her fault … or the company’s:
In very rare instances there are of course technical errors that can occur with live television.
However, an initial investigation has indicated that DCP had no involvement in the challenges associated with Ms. Carey’s New Year’s Eve performance.
We want to be clear that we have the utmost respect for Ms. Carey as an artist and acknowledge her tremendous accomplishments in the industry.
What do you make of all this, THGers? Obviously, we may never know what happened that night in Times Square, but we can tell you this:
It was the most 2016 thing ever.

Kim Kardashian Could "Bleed to Death" If THIS Happens
Kim Kardashian nearly died last month.
The reality star was hurled out of bed by armed assailants who tied her up and held her at gunpoint while they ransacked her apartment in Paris.
It was a legitimately frightening, life-changing situation.
On Keeping Up with the Kardashians last night, meanwhile, Kardashian was faced with another frightening, life-changing situation.
But this one was a little bit different.
Those who keep close tabs on Kardashian need to get a life.
No, wait, that may be true. But it isn’t the point here.
What we meant to say was this: those who keep close tabs on Kardashian are aware that she suffered through a pair of challenging pregnancies prior to giving birth to Saint West and North West.
While the stupid tabloids were focusing on Kim’s weight gain, Kim was worried about her actual health at the time.
As a result, she conferred with two doctors on last night’s installment of her family’s terrible reality show in order to ask what might happen if she got pregnant for a third time.
Simply put, they told her this was a bad idea.
And Kris Jenner didn’t mince words when emphasizing to her daughter that she ought to give up on the notion as soon as possible.
“You could bleed to death,” Jenner told Kim on the episode.
Does this mean there’s no way Kim and Kanye West expand their family? Not necessarily.
It sounds as if Kardashian is open to the idea of surrogacy, which is when another woman actually gives birth to your child.’
“I’ve been thinking I would love to maybe have another baby,” Kim said at one point on Sunday night.
“But I had two really difficult pregnancies and really difficult deliveries, so getting pregnant again, it’s something that does concern me.”
You can see Kim talk to her sister about the possibility of surrogacy in the following sneak peek:
Will she go through with it? We have no idea.
But let’s remember that this episode was filmed several weeks before the aforementioned armed robbery.
Kim has stayed away from social media and the spotlight in general ever since this scary incident took place.
It’s safe to wonder if she’d now be afraid to bring another child into her family, considering the safety concerns that have gone from hypothetical to extremely valid.
Having yet another person in the Kimye clan would mean more security… more expenses… more to worry about on a daily basis.
That said, Kim could also go the other way.
Perhaps she really is dedicated to a life outside of Hollywood now.
Maybe she really wants to just hole up with her family and spend as much time with her loved ones as possible and, therefore, would love nothing more than to have another newborn to cuddle and care for.
We could see Kardashian going in either direction, really.
Do you think Kim and Kanye will have another child? Do you think they should have another child?!?
Only time will tell what she decides to do.
Elsewhere on the installment last night, Kris Jenner broke down during an interview with her mom and Kendall Jenner said she did not want to get involved in the gun control battle because she may lose some fans as a result.
Go ahead and watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online below for more:
