The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 Episode 6 Recap: Rumors
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 Episode 6 confirmed what we all expected:
Shannon Beador’s relationship with her delusional ex-husband, David is in tatters.
The 53-year-old revealed that David thought she was doing everything in her power to try and turn the tide against him in the courtroom.
“David’s shown quite a bit of anger towards me,” she said after saying that David thought she was using the abusive texts he sent her as leverage.
The evidence is evidence. However, it may appear, so we can’t even begin to imagine why the loser thought Shannon would not use them.
On the way to court during Monday’s episode, Shannon was so scared to face him that she ran a red light while on the phone to her mother about what was going to happen at the court.
Shannon has been open up about David’s abuse and kept all of the details in the court filings, but this further scared her.
“I feel like I’m walking into the unknown,” she said after saying she worried about how it “might set him off.”
She then met up with her lawyer Ben and continued to worry about what could happen.
“I don’t know what David I’m going to see today,” she said.
“My wish is that a weight is going to be lifted off my shoulders after this court date. My reality is telling me, nah, it’s just gonna make things worse,” she admitted, adding: “He’s not going to be happy no matter what decision is made.”
Things went Shannon’s way in the courtroom, and she called Tamra Judge to let her know her thoughts on it after admitting she was “shaken up, emotional, and just very uneasy.”
That would certainly make one think it did not go her way, but it really did.
“I don’t even have any words for it,’ she said through tears. “‘The judge ordered him to pay me a lot of money every month — $ 30,000-a-month.”
However, we quickly learned why Shannon was so shaken up.
“We went out in the hallway, and David came around the corner where I was talking to Ben, and he just went off on Ben and me.”
“And Ben had to scream for the bailiff. He was so livid. He came around the corner and said, ‘You f*****g happy Ben?’”
It certainly sounds like an awkward encounter, to say the least, but Shannon opted to throw her devious ex a bone.
She said that she agreed to lower the $ 30,000 pay down to $ 22,500 “because that’s what I need at this point.”
“So we went back into the courtroom, and he was shaking with anger. If anything, I was fair in cutting down the order. I just want him out of my life,” she continued.
It’s great that Shannon has her friends at her side, but we learned early into the episode that the texts could be the thing that saved her case.
She said they were so bad “I guarantee you I will never have to talk to him again.”
“‘F**k you, you f*****g b***h,” and “You f*****g disgust me, you fat a**. Get off your f*****g lazy fat a**. Did you get out of bed today, you f***ing b***h"” she said of the torrent of abuse.
“That’s what I get, all the time,” she said with a sad look on her face.
“Believe it or not, I had David over to my house for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But he says that he lived through 17 years of hell with me,” said Shannon in a confessional.
“So, I’m sorry you feel that way. Thank God you’re out.”
While things with her and David were over, the ladies wanted her to return to the dating scene.
“I think Shannon definitely needs a kick in the a** to start dating. She needs to get laid,” said Tamra who seemed more excited by the prospect of it than Shannon herself.
“I think that what I’ve come to realize is that what I’m looking for is a partnership,” Shannon told matchmaking experts. “I’m not going to go and meet a guy at a bar and then make out with him at that night. I need to know somebody before we’re going to touch lips.”
“She loves sex — she does,” Tamra instead insisted. “She needs a guy who can get it on.”
‘I don’t know if I’m ready to date,’ Shannon countered. ‘The whole thought panics me. Just panics me.”
Meanwhile, newcomers Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter were still bringing all the drama thanks to Gina’s husband yelling at Emily for being a little too loud at a party.
“No guy should be yelling at any woman,” insisted Tamra. “He’s having a party in his house. Did he expect everyone to be quiet?”
Kelly Dodd had a whole different outlook on the matter.
“No wonder why he was upset — everyone was drinking, having fun, gambling… and they don’t swear. S**t. I’m going straight to hell.”
We’re happy to report that Kelly was having a joke with Vicki Gunvalson.
Okay then.

Farrah Abraham: I"m Playing a Cop! In a REAL Movie!!
Farrah"s in a movie! It might not be that movie JJ Abrams is making about Farrah"s life. But we"re sure he"ll get started right away after he sees … this.
In the video that we"ve included, Farrah shows off her police uniform.
See, she"s landed a movie role.
"Well the tables have turned," Farrah jokes in her caption beside a photo that shows her in a police officer"s uniform.
Farrah is referring to her court case over an alleged assault on a hotel employee. Farrah pleaded not guilty just days ago.
Farrah then bosts that: "The Irony in my life is better then watching "COPS.""
We"re not going to delve into the definitions of different types of irony. We"ll just let that one go.
(We"re also, even more reluctantly, leaving unchallenged the suggestion that COPS is somehow a paragon of entertainment)
Farrah is going to appear in I Got The Hook-Up 2. She plays a police officer.
"Watch Full video now on my #youtube channel! Vlog," Farrah invites her followers.
See our attached video if you want to witness Farrah"s totally professional nonstop livestreaming from the set.
"On set behind the scenes," Farrah teases. "#IGOTTHEHOOKUP2 coming soon!"
The first film, whose stars included Master P and Ice Cube, came out a few years ago.
"Love @masterp & all of production @ko_creative," Farrah concludes. "ON SET SCRIPTED VLOG FARRAH ABRAHAM "I GOT THE HOOK UP 2"
Back in July, Farrah"s talent agency (ugh, can imagine what kind of torment it must be to do that?) praised her.
They described her casting accomplishment as "booking a leading role in a SAG film."
Well … it sure is a SAG film. It doesn"t look like she"s playing the main character, however.
"In this next scene, I gotta admit I thought I was playing the lead principal role, and then I woke up this morning," Farrah says at one point in the video.
Oh Farrah.
After overcoming her distraction, Farrah resumes her story.
"Messed up," Farrah tells the camera as she continues to livestream nonstop from the set.
"So basically I did a whole acting coach and memorized the whole thing," Farrah reveals.
So she learned her script. Like actors are supposed to.
"And now," Farrah continues. "Totally different role."
Farrah isn"t blaming Master P for this hate crime worthy of Viacom.
"That was like an executive over like the company," Farrah says, explaining whose call it was to make her play a police officer rather than the lead.
Farrah seems uncharacteristically chill about getting demoted.
Maybe she"s just very, very excited to be appearing in a movie that does not involve things going into her orifices.
Maybe she"s just excited to be appearing in something that has an actual script.
Compared to charging fans $ 10 to touch her, this does seem like a step up for Farrah"s recent career.
And honestly? She should be excited.
Plenty of actual, non-terrible actresses get their start in minor roles in a random sequel films.
And the first I Got The Hook-Up made more than 8 times its budget at the box office.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 Episode 5 Recap: Orange County Hold "Em
Shannon Beador has been through the mill of late.
On The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 Episode 5, she opened up to both viewers and Kelly Dodd about what it was like to end her 17-year marriage to David.
“I want to have a partner … [but] I don’t know if I’m ready,” she said as she contemplated the future.
Beador went on to confirm that she’s still struggling with her body.
“I think that part of the reason why I can’t imagine myself with somebody or dating somebody is because I’m not comfortable in my body,” she told fellow Housewife Kelly Dodd, tearing up.
“If I were to take my clothes off, I don’t want to see it, so I don’t want somebody else to see it.”
“I know I’m a good catch, but it’s hard for me to say,” she added.
“I was just told for all these years that I’m selfish and I’m worthless, and I’m fat. I know I’m not, but when you hear it for so long…”
As for Dodd, she was facing similar battles because she recently got divorced, and that’s likely why these two women are so close now.
“I’ve heard all of those things for so long too, Shannon,” she said to her friend.
“There’s not days I don’t cry or [feel] depressed. I’m lonely. I don’t have anybody having my back. It’s sad. I want somebody that’s there for me.”
“It looks like I go out and have a good time with guys, but the reality is, I just got out of a 13-year marriage, and I am not used to being alone,” Dodd said in a confessional.
“Kelly and I have gone through hell and back,” Beador said.
“Who would have thought that I’d be sitting, having a nice conversation. And her supporting me, shows you how you can evolve.”
“The best and right thing is happening for the both of us,” she said.
“I’m just grateful we’ve reached the point in our relationship where we totally understand each other. You have such a big heart, and I’m really grateful that we’re at this place.”
“I’m grateful to you too. I mean, who knew?” said a shocked Kelly.
While that particular friendship was flourishing, there was still beef between Vicki and Kelly. If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online, you know that Kelly was mad Vicki and her boyfriend was going on double dates with her ex-husband.
Tamra and Shannon tried to play the peacemakers at Emily’s party, but it was clear the rift was growing between them.
Poor Emily didn’t know what she was getting herself into when she invited them over to the party. The odd thing about Emily is that she doesn’t seem like a real housewife.
It’s almost like the producers thought throwing her in would shake things up and add a new dynamic. Instead, her scenes are really difficult to get through.
As for Tamra, she was still trying to find the balance between looking after her husband, Eddie, and keeping all of the women from ripping each other apart.
Eddie’s still not better, and the doctor is determined to give him a drug that will essentially stop his heart and then he will be shocked back to life.
It’s a horrifying reality and one that anyone would be terrified of it. The most surprising aspect is that he’s allowing it all to be filmed in front of the cameras.
Maybe this is more about raising awareness than being a storyline for a Bravo reality series.
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 has been somewhat subdued. There have been many arguments, but they all seem to center on the same thing, and that’s problematic.
We need the OG of the OC to bring the drama back!
What are your thoughts on the new episode?

Rob Corddry Explains the Real Reason Elizabeth Warren Loves "Ballers"
Senator Elizabeth Warren is apparently a HUGE fan of The Rock’s HBO series, “Ballers” — but one of Dwayne’s costars says it’s not because of his star power like she claims. Our photog ran into Rob Corddry at LAX a day after the Mass. Senator…
Duggar Girls: Denied Real Careers, Lives Because of Jim Bob!
In the last decade, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s children have undoubtedly made something of a career out of reality TV stardom.
But at what cost? Their entire identities.
At this point, if you know anything about the famous family, you know that females are treated like property in their patriarchal lifestyle.
Sorry if it sounds rough to say it that bluntly, but it’s accurate. Their father controls everything about their lives until they get married.
At that point, their husbands take over.
Fortunately, at least in certain cases (Jinger Duggar marrying Jeremy Vuolo), their husbands have been a bit less restrictive.
Nevertheless, the Duggar girls have been taught from the get-go that their primary purpose in life is to wed and reproduce.
That’s it. Marry, make baby, repeat.
You can count out any dreams of having a career, in other words – no matter what natural skills, abilities and aspirations you have.
As Jim Bob and Michelle reach a dozen grandkids, it’s hard not to wonder what might have been for the young women they raised.
In a world where he didn’t control them, and they could actually pursue education, vocation and inspiration, so much could be possible.
So much. All of this potential …
Jill Duggar, for example, would almost surely have entered the medical profession, with a specialty in maternity and childbirth.
She is (or was) a certified midwife, having received certification from the North American Registry of Midwives back in 2015.
Whether Jill Duggar is really a midwife paid under the table or faked her certification has been debated, but therein lies the point:
If she had the freedom to explore this in earnest, rather than being shackled to that homophobe Derick Dillard, who knows!?
She could’ve been a nurse, like Abbie Grace Burnett (John David Duggar’s fiancee), or a Certified Nurse Midwife, or both!
Of course, that requires years of training, a Bachelor’s Degree, work experience and fellowships, which she’s not allowed to pursue.
While not as stifled as her older sister, Jinger Duggar’s interest in photography could have turned into a full-fledged career as well.
Remember Jill and Jessa’s engagement photos? Josiah’s graduation? Countless other family moments? Yeah. She took all those.
With her name and her talent, she could go places.
Jessa Duggar, meanwhile, is a natural fit as a stylist and model – because of her striking natural beauty as well as her interest in it.
As diehard fans who followed the family pre-Josh Duggar sex scandals remember, 19 Kids & Counting focused on the Duggars’ frugality.
Case in point? Rather than going to the salon, they opted to get their hair done and cut at home, with Jessa doing the honors!
Jessa stays on top of her appearance despite the family’s strict rules and restrictions about what’s too “tempting” and the like.
Growing up in an environment that limits access to Internet makeup and hair tutorials did little to quell her interest in those topics.
At the same time, she’s become the standard-bearer for Michelle Duggar’s conservative style – full-length dresses and all.
See where we’re going with this? A fashion line for women interested in looking their best in keeping with similar values.
If there’s anyone who can rock a maternity top or swimsuit that reveals nothing at all yet still looks hot, it’s Mrs. Seewald.
Joy-Anna Duggar would make a fine real estate agent or house flipper, given the skills and history on both sides of her family.
Jim Bob has long made money in real estate, while her husband Austin Forsyth has considerable experience flipping homes.
In fact, during his courtship with fair Joy, Austin was told by his father that he couldn’t propose until he flipped five houses.
That’s just the strangest thing we’ve ever heard.
But the fact that it’s something of a family business, plus Joy’s reputation as a quick learner who’s not afraid to get her hands dirty?
Joy would be a natural, much like the eldest daughter of them all, Cinderella herself, seems to be at any task you can throw at her.
Oh, Jana. Poor, sweet Jana.
The oldest daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle is 28 and still lives at home, a frequent topic of discussion and dismay among fans.
Many card-carrying members of Duggar Nation believe Jana is trapped and forced to be Michelle’s nanny, cook, servant and more.
Jessa has another theory on why Jana is still single: She’s so good at everything, guys don’t know what to do with themselves!
Seriously, she thinks that guys don’t want to date her because they have no skills that she doesn’t, and therefore no self worth.
That’s possibly even weirder than Austin’s pre-engagement house-flipping quota, but there’s little doubt that Jana does do it all.
Whether it’s baking bread, fixing a shower head, playing the piano, working in the garden, or designing home interiors, she’s on it!
So many career choices. So little time to pursue them while being forced to take care of Michelle Duggar’s giant home and brood.
In closing: Free Jana!

The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 18 Recap: There"s No Place Like Home
The long-gestating feud between Dorinda Medley and Luann de Lesseps continued on The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 18.
Yes, this feud is absurd, but it’s making for good TV, we guess.
Luann was still trying to get Dorinda to admit that she had a high dependency on alcohol, but Dorinda seemed like she didn’t care.
“I know Dorinda feels the need to apologize over and over again, but I don’t need a fake apology,” de Lesseps said in a confessional.
“Show me. Show me that you’re doing something about the drinking problem. I feel bad about people that can’t cop to the bad behavior.”
“I hope that she takes a look at herself now and says, ‘Oh my god, I need to go take care of this and get help,’ ” she continued.
“It’s hard to ignore drunken attacks from Dorinda when she’s your friend, and she comes gunning for you.”
As for Medley, it seemed she was over the friendship if it meant she was going to be put on blast every step of the way.
“Maybe the friendship isn’t as important as I thought,” Medley said.
“A handshake’s only good if there’s two hands involved,” she continued of Luann’s half-assed apology.
The good thing is that they managed to remain calm with each other at other events during the hour.
It opened with the two of them and Sonja visiting Ramona’s newly refurbished home. Ramona was chanting that she bought everything from the internet.
Luann called BS because there’s no way an interior designer was not all over that house like a rash.
Luann’s reactions to Ramona’s comments were the funniest part of the episode. She immediately noticed there was something off with the way Ramona was going on about it.
The conversation quickly turned to poop-gate, and by that, we mean the food poisoning the housewives endured after their rocky trip to Colombia.
After the ladies rehashed events and laughed about it, they went on to state that pooping was still an issue, but Sonja maintained that she was fine.
The reason?
She wore a diaper on the way home and got to poop as and when her body commanded it.
Yes, we really did just talk about poop.
Meanwhile, Tinsley wondered whether there was something wrong with her because she was the only one who was not worried when the apocalypse hit the ship.
Carole admitted in a confessional that there was something seriously wrong with Tinsley if she thought the way she reacted was okay.
The waterworks quickly started, and Tinsley got mad when Carole said that her failed relationship could be to blame for the way she was acting.
What was most telling about the hour was that the editing team showed off Bethenny’s new apartment in the same episode.
There’s something to be said about putting these two women against each other, but there was really no contest.
Bethenny’s was visually stunning, and Ramona’s was mostly white. We get it; white makes things look bigger.

Denise Richards: I"m Coming for You, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!
Look out, all Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Someone who has dealt for years with Charlie Sheen is headed your way.
So she’s ready for anything!
Indeed, following weeks of rumors and innuendo, Denise Richards confirmed on Thursday via a statement to People Magazine that she has joined the cast of this long-running Bravo franchise.
“I am so excited to join the cast, as I am a huge fan of the show,” Richards said simply today, adding of the ninth season to come:
“I am looking forward to spending time with all the ladies… and hopefully meeting Boy George!!”
(Confused? Richards is referencing her close friendship with fellow star Dorit Kemsley, whose husband, Paul, is Boy George’s manager. For real!)
On future episodes of this wildly popular program, Richards will join Kemsley, Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Erika Girardi and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave for a bunch of scripted drama and craziness.
And this won’t be her first time on reality television, either.
The actress actually starred on two seasons of It’s Complicated, a series that chronicled her life as the mother of two and the ex-wife of someone such as Sheen.
It ran on E! from May 2008 through July 2009 — and it wasn’t received too warmly by critics.
Wrote Variety at the time as a review:
“She’s traded on her sexuality to become one of those public figures who cavorts with other public figures, and we (or, at least, those of us inclined to watch and read about such fluff) are voyeurs.”
The series also earned a D from the Boston Herald, who summed it up, after critic Mark A. Perigard watched the first episode, as follows:
“Denise Richards’ life is one steaming pile of pig poop…Literally
Still, Bravo jumped at the chance to hire Richards.
“I love Denise Richards, wouldn’t it be so cool to see Denise Richards as a Housewife?” producer and talk show host Andy Cohen said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight last week.
At the time, he refused to confirm whether she’d actually be on the show, of course, simply teasing:
“The thing about it is, we don’t announce casting until the show’s about to come out. So, you’re not going to hear anything from me for a while.”
That much is true, we suppose: We still have not heard from Cohen on this casting.
But he and Richards’ new co-stars will likely comment on her addition soon.
An Illinois resident, Richards is likely best known professionally for having made out with Neve Campbell in the movie Wild Things.
She also appeared on episodes of Jane the Virgin, Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce and something called Vanity.
On the big screen, she last had a role in the film The Toybox, which featured family members who were killed off by their haunted RV.
Are you psyched for Denise Richards to be a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills?

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 Episode 4 Recap: Judge, Jury and Gina
“Call animal control, ‘cause there’s a cougar on the loose in the OC.”
That’s the tagline for Kelly Dodd on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13.
While it’s natural for someone just out of a marriage to want to spread their wings and prove they can still find themselves some loving, the tagline was a bit out there.
Kelly lived up to that tagline on The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 Episode 4 which found her getting a little bit too close for comfort with one man.
Kelly joined Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Vicki Gunvalson, Emily Simpson, or Gina Kirschenheiter for a dinner date during the episode, and wasted no time in opening up about her new beau.
“I’m dating a guy. He’s pulling in, he’s a spine doctor,” Dodd told her gal pals.
“He’s coming in!” she continued, clearly trying to give them all the information they needed to know to chat with him. “I met him in Aspen!”
“You look, beautiful honey, really beautiful,” Rick Paicius, the man said to Kelly as he pulled up a seat beside her.
“Aww that’s sweet,” she responded after a kiss. “I miss you.”
They were all over each other. It was rather embarrassing when you consider the fact that they had only met each other two weeks before these scenes were filmed.
“Make it stop,” Judge said when the duo continued to kiss each other. “We’ll leave you two alone!”
“Some guy comes in, and they start making out. It’s like, ‘Okay bye!’ ” Judge joked. “That was awkward. This is the weirdest ending to a dinner ever, even for us.”
Added Simpson: ‘I felt like I was on their date. I was like, ‘Okay this is uncomfortable, maybe we should leave….’ ”
“Literally needed to run as well,” laughed Kirschenheiter.
While the other women found it funny, Vicki tried to dole out some words of wisdom in an attempt to make it seem like she still knew her former friend.
“Kelly is very confused right now,” said Gunvalson.
“She’s really upset that Michael dated someone else, but she’s okay flaunting her new boyfriend in the midst of a girl’s night? … Kelly divorced Michael. He’s allowed to date whoever he wants. And if he wants Steve and I to go out with him, we will.”
As previously reported, Kelly lashed out at Vicki for going on double-dates with her ex-husband and his new girlfriend.
“That’s girl code,” said Kirschenheiter, who was firmly Team Kelly.
“What girl is in a situation where she’s like, ‘We have to keep this whole thing secret because I’m friends with his ex-wife?’ What a f—ing loser is she? I would personally say, ‘F— you, I’m not even hooking you up.’ ”
Kelly did forgive Vicki for her actions, but it was obvious she was not going to forget about them.
“I want Vicki to know what other people’s opinions are because she thinks that only hers are right,” Dodd explained to viewers.
“I hope Vicki learned her lesson because everybody schooled her that she was wrong, which she is.”
Something tells us the pair are going to be going at it for much of the rest of the season and likely beyond.
What are your thoughts on Kelly sucking the face of a man at a dinner table?

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.

Nikki Bella and John Cena: It"s Over! For Good! For Real This Time!
Nikki Bella and John Cena have tapped out.
For good and for real this time, one half of this long-time and famous couple says.
Following a lot of back and forth this spring, which even included a public and heartfelt plea for reconciliation from the multiple-time WWE champion, Bella has told People Magazine that her romance with Cena is over.
She will not be getting back together with him, chiseled body and enormous biceps notwithstanding.
“After I called off the engagement, we tried to work on our relationship to get back to where it was, and in order to move forward with our wedding,” Bella said this week, adding:
“After much time and soul-searching alone and together, we have decided to officially part ways.
“I had a beautiful and loving 6-year relationship with a wonderful man. I have the utmost respect for John, but I know this is what’s best for me.”
Back in April, Cena and Bella called off their engagement, as Nikki mentions in her statement above.
They said at the time that the decision was “difficult,” but necessary and asked for their privacy to be respected.
This request, of course, was a tad bit ironic when you stop to think that Cena and Bella have agreed to have their lives filmed for the reality show Total Bellas.
Moreover, it was Cena himself who went ahead and made a few details of their previous split public.
The wrestler appeared days later on The Today Show and poured his very handsome heart out.
“I still love Nicole, I still would love to marry Nicole, I still would love to have a family with Nicole,” Cena said on national television, explaining that he’s very open to having children, a pretty extreme change in his earlier stance on this topic.
“I don’t want anybody else.
“I love Nicole and I’m really trying to support her in her trying to find whatever it is she wants that made this fall apart in the first place,” Cena added a few months ago.
Watch his candid interview here:
Fast forward to the end of May and Cena appeared to have gotten his wish.
Sources claimed back then that the stars had reunited, although perhaps it should have been telling that neither Cena nor Bella themselves commented on this supposed reconciliation.
This latest break-up news, meanwhile, comes just one day after Bella was seen calling off their engagement for a second time during the season finale of Total Bellas.
The episode was taped many months ago, it’s worth noting.
But it’s also worth noting just what Nikki said at the time about the relationship.
It just sucks,” she said during the finale, adding:
“I wish it could be different and I think that’s why I’ve had almost six years of working on us and fighting and just taking in a lot. I just feel like I’ve hit the point that I’m just so exhausted and done.”
Bella didn’t sound bitter than and she doesn’t sound bitter now.
But she does sound sure of herself.
“It’s just hard when you love someone so much and care for them so much, but you just can’t do it anymore,” Nikki tearfully concluded on the episode.
“It’s not his fault, it’s not my fault. We’ve had this amazing love story and it’s just come to an end.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 Episode 3 Recap: Tres Amigas
These ladies sure know how to bring the drama, and that’s commendable when you consider that most of them have been on this show since the beginning.
On The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 Episode 3 found Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson and Shannon Beador embarking on a trip to Mexico.
The tequila shots were flowing, and it resulted in Gunvalson peeing herself in the airport, and subsequently falling. Yes, we’re going to assume that tequila is not her friend.
All three of them were a real hoot throughout the trip, but one of the stand out moments has got to be a tequila fueled-Tamra ordering Shannon to show off some more cleavage.
Shannon has parted ways with her husband, and Tamra was trying to reiterate that she could still show off her body if she wanted to capture another man.
Tamra also wanted to have fun. The reason?
“I just want to have a good time because there’s so much s— going on in my life that you could probably make a country song about me,” Judge said, referring to her husband’s ongoing heart problems.
“My husband’s heart’s broken. Somebody give me a shot of tequila. It’s ridiculous.”
The ladies continued to party back at the hotel, and that’s when things went awry. Tamra, 50, flashed Vicki and proceeded to jump back into the hot tub.
She hit her foot on the way down, and well, she broke it.
“I might’ve hurt my foot,” she said.
“Like, might’ve hurt like broke my foot maybe?” “It’s all gonna be good. Can we have another shot? I think I need another shot and my foot’s gonna be real good.”
The tequila masked the pain for a short while, but Tamra wound up in the hospital and learned that her foot was broken.
It was wrapped in a cast. The true kicker was that she was told she would not be able to drive.
“By the way, I went to the hospital by myself because you guys passed out,” she teased said to her friends. “I had to take a cab to the hospital; it was 30 minutes away.”
“It’s not funny,” she said to her friends.
“It sounds like you were drunk as f—,” Tamra’s husband shared with her on Facetime.
Tamra tried to make the best of a dangerous situation, but she could not keep up after the painkillers entered her system.
They knocked her out, and it was up to Shannon and Vicki to look after her.
After dinner one of the nights, Shannon opened up about her thoughts on them being friends again.
“I have to tell you that the fact that you both came down here to spend just a whopping two days with me has meant so much to me,” she said tearfully to Vicki.
“Four years ago, I wouldn’t even sip tequila. It was David’s new drink. And I didn’t know that he was having an affair at the time. And that was their thing — they would drink tequila.”
“I spent 20 years with a man, and he took me on a trip, and then all of a sudden we come home, and he was done,” she continued.
“And the fact that he has found someone within months of leaving me is devastating. I have gone through the pain knowing that he is with somebody else.”
“You know what the scary part for me is?,” Vicki said in response, adding: ” You can be all in in a relationship, and at any point in time, the other one can check out. It’s like a death.”
They then locked lips, so there’s that.
