The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Another Friendship Bites the Dust

The ladies of Orange County have been battling it out like never before on The Real Housewives of Orange County.  Monday’s episode of chronicled the fraught friendship between Tamra Judge and Gina Kirschenheiter.  The pair were still at odds over Gina dishing the goodies to Shannon about what was being said about her.  But Gina wanted to let bygones be bygones and wanted Tamra to attend her birthday bash, but Judge had an agenda of her own.  Tamra made her way over to Vicki’s house and revealed all about the growing tension between her and Gina.  “So I got a call from Shannon who said that Gina told her that I was talking all this stuff about her in Jamaica,” Tamra told Vicki.  But Vicki was so over what happened in Jamaica, saying: “Hello! Jamaica why are we still talking about Jamaica. We are done we are home now. I told Shannon if she has to get on anti-depressants than do it. But Shannon is not mentally ill.” In a hilarious segment, the two women decided against attending Gina’s party, and while it seemed more about Shannon being there, it was still pretty rude.  As for Gina, she was moving out of her family home and into her own bachelorette pad following her decision to divorce her husband. “I am realizing that Mrs. Kirschenheiter is no more,” Gina said before claiming this would be her first birthday as a single woman.  Gina then told her new BFF Kelly Dodd that she was keeping her divorce on the down low from her children.  The ladies subsequently met up at Emily Simpson’s for a fortune reading party, and things quickly got out of hand.  “I have texted Shannon to ask how her surgery went. She did not answer, but I just wanted her to know how it went,” Emily said. “Hopefully you are on the up and up,” Tamra said to Emily about Shannon. “I feel bad, but I am honestly over Shannon at this point,” said Gina who was still in hot water with Tamra. “I am trying to help, and you are trying to help her, and now this whole thing is about me and you and do I think you are a sh***y friend.”   All seemed to go quiet on the Shannon front until the fortune reader told the ladies that a “woman with an S in her name needed help.” Okay then, Bravo to the producers for this random twist.  The episode’s final moments focused on Gina questioning where Shannon, Tamra, and Vicki were after everyone but them arrived at her birthday party.  We cut away to a scene with Tamra, Vicki, and Shannon together having a party of their own.  “So I told you both what happened. The one thing that kind of upset me was that Emily said, ‘Because I grew up with a mentally ill mom, I saw some similarities with Shannon,’” Tamra said.  That’s when Shannon lost it.  “This is a person that threatened to kill Kelly! How dare she? Mentally ill? F**k her,” Shannon yelled as the episode faded to black.  Oh yes, it’s on! What are your thoughts on the latest big twist?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: South Peach

It was only a matter of time. Porsha continued to gush over her new man on Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but Kandi Burruss had some intel on Dennis that she kept very private from her frenemy.  When Porsha started talking about Dennis during a meeting, she was adamant that she was not all about waiting for a long time to get married.  “We don’t have to wait forever!” Porsha said regarding marriage. “The whole two years, you wait a year, you’re engaged a year — I will do it.” If you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online , you know that Kandi and Porsha have been at odds for over a year, and while they’ve made a peace treaty, they’re still dragging each other behind the scenes.  It makes sense then that Kandi would insert herself into Porsha’s Dennis drama.  “Is he already talking about marriage?” the Xscape hitmaker quipped.  “Well,” Porsha replied with a stern look. “A little here and there.” “Okay, I know we ain’t been tight, but I’ll just say, don’t always put out how badly you wanna be married,” Kandi said to her former BFF. “Kinda let him put it out there.” “I think the advice that Kandi’s giving me is pretty general,” Porsha said to the Bravo cameras. “She probably would say that to anybody, but thank you.” Kandi later intrigued viewers in a confessional by saying the following: “Keep him under wraps, honey — if you can!” Okay then. Does this mean Dennis cannot be tamed, and will not settle down any time soon? Quite possibly.  In any case, Kandi elaborated further when she FaceTimed her husband to let him know about the trip to Miami.  “After all the girls came back to the hotel, Porsha was telling us about her new boo,” Kandi said. “She’s dating that dude that owns Cru. You know what I’m talking about?” Todd was adamant that he had never been to the place, but his wife delved deeper into the drama.  “I mean, I already knew that she was dating him, but I didn’t wanna say that you know what I mean?” Kandi continued. “I didn’t wanna be like, ‘I got tea on somebody!’ She’s trying to be really hush-hush about it, so I’m just gonna let her tell what she wants to tell in her due time.” That’s when Todd confirmed she needed to stay the hell out of it. Their relationship is not in the best place, but they’re somewhat tolerable towards each other of late.  That’s a start, we guess.  “Yes, I’ve heard things about her new boo,” Kandi dished in a later confessional. “I just know a few different women who have — you know — dated him. Just pace yourself, girl.” Elsewhere, NeNe Leakes started to get back to work following Gregg’s cancer diagnosis.  Cynthia, Kandi, Eva, and Marlo all decided it was a good idea to visit NeNe in Miami to support her, but when they arrived, Gregg was open and honest.  He was struggling to eat and hadn’t been able to keep anything down for three days. His health continued to deteriorate at the opening of NeNe’s boutique, but the ladies were on hand to help him through it.  What are your thoughts on all the latest action?

Jersey Shore Recap: "She’s a F-cking Psycho!"

We nearly saw Vinny Guadagnino’s penis on the latest episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. But while this veteran castmate thankfully kept his junk in his pants, Vinny let it all come out when discussing his feelings toward former fling Angelina Pivarnick. Seriously, the guy just WENT OFF on her. Scroll down to find out why… Speaking of The Situation: He invited JWOWW to attend his speech at his former rehab facility. She was still sort of drunk from the night before, but she downed some Gatorade, tossed on some sweat pants and agreed to support her friend. On his way there, Mike told Jenni a story about his struggle with drinking and how his now-wife stood by his side throughout the worst of times. “There was one time where I was attempting to get sober,” Mike explained. “I had a doctor and a nurse at my house. They were detoxing me, and after I think four or five days, I had the ‘f-ck its,’ they call it, where you’re like, ‘F-ck it, I don’t want this anymore. I wanna go party. I wanna feel better.’ “So I jumped in my car, and Lauren jumped in her vehicle. I was trying to get away from her, so there was a bit of speeding going on, a little bit of a car chase. “Eventually, a cop pulled up beside me, and I actually said to the cop that there’s a crazy fan following me.”

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: To Love and to Cherish

The Real Housewives of Atlanta returned to Bravo on Sunday night, and things took a serious turn.  As we previously reported back in June, Gregg Leakes is battling cancer. With reality TV filmed months in advance, the hit reality series opened up with a lot of details about the diagnosis.  NeNe wasted no time in telling viewers all about the diagnosis, explaining that Gregg was taken to hospital in May and said he needed to get prepared for surgery straight away.  “His health these last couple of years has been a lot,” said NeNe.  “We were not prepared to hear that,” she continued, adding that she needed to be strong for her family. “‘I have put on a brave face, but I have had many moments in my car alone and if my car could talk it would probably say ”this b**** cries too much,'” Nene sobbed.  Gregg opened up about it when some of their friends and family showed up to wish him well.  “I guess the scariest part about all of this is when we got to the hospital and the doctor saying that we need to do surgery on you tonight or you ain’t going to make it,” said Gregg, adding: “I went over and prayed to God, and I told him If it’s time, let’s go,” the reality star added of learning he had cancer.  “I don’t fear death; I don’t want to go. If my work is finished here, take care of them, let’s go.” That’s when the season premiere turned into a somber affair. Gregg told everyone that he had written a letter for the doctor to give his wife if he did not pull through surgery.  “Writing that note was the hardest ever thing I did in my life, but you never know what is in you until you are at that door, I never thought I had it in me to beat cancer but know I’m going to beat cancer’s ass,” he said.  Despite the surgery being successful, both NeNe and Gregg recognized that it could return.  “You have been my light,” Gregg told NeNe. “I couldn’t do this without you. I couldn’t. I wouldn’t even try. So I want to thank you, baby.” Elsewhere, Porsha’s new boyfriend made a big impression on just about everyone, and Porsha seemed ready to move the relationship to the next stage.  “The power of the tongue is real. I said just at the beginning of this year I was going to meet the man I was going to marry, I’m going to get married this year,” she said. “And here I am completely in love and white is going to be my new color as I am going to be Mrs McKinley.” Porsha subsequently opened up about how her man was so rich.  “He does really, really well. America loves hot dogs, and these hot dogs are going to put a hell of a ring on my finger,” she gushed.  “I just never had this type of connection on this level,” she continued. “He told me he loved me the first day we met and I was like ”I love you too” it felt natural, and we just went with it.” Porsha later met up with NeNe, and the two chatted about their lives, with NeNe revealing why she was not going sit at home and wallow in despair.  “I’m the sort of person who would prefer to throw myself into work. I am not one to sit at home in a depression so I will continue to function,” NeNe told her. That’s when Porsha continued to refer to Dennis as a “friend” and NeNe was quick to point that out to the cameras.  “Porsha’s been telling me a lot about how she has a new friend, it’s a guy, okay. Porsha has puppy eyes, she’s really feeling somebody,” NeNe dished to the cameras.  Porsha later said she wanted to keep Dennis away from her castmates, presumably because she knows there’s always some drama.  “I am very protective over Dennis, I do not want other people in our little world right now,” she admitted. “It is important for us as our friends to show her that we are here for you as well as Gregg.” But Porsha may have gotten her wish by the end of the episode. Dennis appeared with a box that looked a whole lot like an engagement ring.  What are your thoughts on the premiere?

Grey’s Anatomy Recap: Who’s Dying?

Ghosts from the past roamed the halls of Seattle Grace Memorial on Thursday’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy as Día de Muertos weighed heavily on the minds of our favorite characters.  It was all thanks to a girl named Flo who was in the hospital for surgery, so her family decided to celebrate their tradition, and it resulted in a lot of blasts from the past.  Before that, Richard pulled Meredith aside to let her know that one of his friends told him her father was dying of cancer and was in a hospice.  Gulp.  This threw Meredith for a loop as she tried to conclude whether her deadbeat father deserved to be graced with her presence one last time.  As such, she turned to Maggie because they’re as close as ever, but Meredith quickly realized the journey ahead was one she had to travel on her own.  Cece set her up on another date, and she wasted no time in talking about her issues with her father, and it rendered the whole romance a dud.  Both Link and DeLuca were in a battle for Meredith’s heart, so they were especially pissed to learn that she was still dating.  After embracing Día de Muertos, Meredith exited the hospital, but there were ghosts from the past walking the halls.  There was Derek, Lexie, George and even Meredith’s mother, Ellis. Meredith somehow found herself getting closer to Link after visiting Alex instead of her father. Elsewhere, Miranda and Jo worked together with a woman who was planning her funeral because she was under the impression she was not getting the liver she needed in time.  A patient died, and Miranda decided to try and salvage the liver from his body because he was a match with the woman who needed the liver.  Despite the liver functioning, Alex shut the whole thing down, claiming that he couldn’t allow it to go ahead in case there were issues down the line that put the hospital under scrutiny.  But Bailey and Jo went ahead with the surgery thinking they were saving a life, and that they did. The surgery went well, and the woman survived with a new lease on life.  Jo thought Alex was going to flip out, but he loved that she was right and they got hot and heavy in his office. Elsewhere, Betty went missing, and it threw a wrench in Teddy’s plan to tell Owen all about her carrying his child.  Yes, this storyline is going to be dragged on until the midseason finale, you guys! Amelia, Teddy, and Owen worked together to find the teenager, but their mission was unsuccessful. They ultimately gave up when Amelia had to go to a meeting because she thought she was being triggered.  The mystery of Betty’s whereabouts will continue on next Thursday’s installment.  What are your thoughts on the latest episode?

Jersey Shore Recap: The Wrath of Jen Harley

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation did not kick off on Thursday night by playing the theme music from Jaws. But it might as well have. When we last left off these drinking buddies, they were preparing for the arrival of Jen Harley, who Ronnie invited to hang out despite the fact that she had (allegedly) just dragged him down the road from a car . (NOTE: This episode was filmed months ago, prior to the latest assault accusations against Harley .) Moreover, the last time Harley was part of the group, she (allegedly) got physical with Ronnie and got thrown out of Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. So, as you might expect, tension was running a bit high for her arrival in Jersey. The stars were out to dinner when she got to Atlantic City. After she delivered a few casual side hugs to everyone at the table, there was a whole lot of awkward silence untill JWOWW broke it hilariously by uttering: “Your mug shot — you look hot!” We’re not sure if we agree (see below), but the ice-breaking line worked and dinner commenced without incident. Following the meal, the team got all ready to watch DJ Pauly D do his thing. They were all staying at Harrah’s, but a Caesars Group hotel rep showed up and asked to speak to both Ronnie and Jen. As it turns out, the latter was banned from all Caesars Group properties due to her actions in Sin City, but she was permitted to remain on the premises after she and Ronnie convinced the rep everything would remain calm. “We’ve been going through anger management and therapy on our own,” Jen said. Ronnie told his pals that the issue had to do with Jen forgetting her ID, although no one believes him. But whatever. It was off to the club to have some fun! And for the real drama to begin. While enjoying Pauly D’s performance, the group was dancing and laughing and drinking and having such a great time that they almost forgot how dysfunctional Ronnie and Jen could be. Correction: How dysfunctional they always are. Jen got wasted, Ronnie told her to stop drinking and then the following exchange occurred: And, with that, Jen was gone. Elsewhere on the episode, Angelina Pivarnick opened up to JWoww, Deena Cortese and The Situations’s fiancee, Lauren, at brunch. The topic? Her abusive upbringing. “My dad and me — we’re like — we’re decent,” Angelina said, adding in detail: “My childhood was not easy. Our parents didn’t have a good relationship. My father was a cheater. He was an abusive father. He was never a father to me growing up as a kid. “He met my mother in court because my father was always in and out of jail. “When I was born, my father was in jail. He only had me because it was gonna give him a lesser jail sentence, so he was like, ‘Oh, lemme have a daughter with a woman that I don’t even love.'” Wow, huh? Heavy, heavy stuff. Lauren attempted to suggest that perhaps this was simply Angelina’s “perspective” on the situation, but Angelina maintained that’s “exactly” what her father told her. “Hearing from Angelina her daddy issues is heartbreaking ’cause it makes sense as to why she’s very codependent,” JWOWW told cameras. “I feel really bad for how I treated Angelina and for how I judged her.” So while one relationship took another turn for the crazy and dangerous, at least another one was maybe salvaged this week. We’ll leave you on that positive note.

Jersey Shore Recap: "This is Next Level Mindf-ckery"

A major secret was revealed on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation this week. And a major bombshell was dropped. Ready for a recap of events, which mostly served as a warm-up for what looks to be the most insane episode of all-time next Thursday night? Let’s do this… The installment centered around Deena Cortese and husband Christopher Buckner hosting a gender reveal party at their home in The Garden State. “I can’t wait anymore. I’m dying,” Deena said while waiting for a color-coded smoke signal to alert her and her loved ones to the sex of her impending child. Ronnie Ortiz-Magro had not told anyone he was coming to the event, but he showed up nevertheless — keep that in mind, okay? First, however, blue smoke rose up in the air, Chris screamed “YEAH!” and Deena explained why they were both so pleased to discover they were having a son. “Now I can name my son after Chris and my dad,” said Cortese, whose father passed away in June of 2016. Ronnie, meanwhile, actually pulled Deena aside and touched our hearts by telling her it was important for him to be on hand. He felt awful that he missed her father’s funeral back in the day. Of course, the last his friends had seen of Ronnie, he had been dragged by a car down the street and was all over the news due to this literal run-in with baby mama Jen Harley. “I feel like I’m seeing a ghost,” Snooki said of his appearance at the party, while Vinny compared Ronne to Bigfoot for a similar reason. What was it liked getting DRAGGED ON THE PAVEMENT BY A MOVING VEHICLE ? “It was an accident,” insisted Ronnie, adding that he and Harley (who share a young daughter named Ariana) are somehow still trying to work things out. “What the hell is this kid doing?” Vinny asked during a confessional. The roommates then gathered to celebrate the birthdays of The Situation and Pauly D at a Dave & Busters. Appropriately, Mike got a cheeseburger cake, while Pauly got an Italian flag cake. After going to town on the “foods,” the honorees opened their gifts. Among other items, Mike received a police hat (LOL because he’s off to prison for tax evasion ) and Pauly received a bedazzled megaphone. Did the group want to go to Atlantic City with him for his next gig, Pauly wondered? Everyone except Snooki said they were in: Deena with Chris; Mike with his fiancee, Lauren; Angelina Pivarnick with her fiance; and Ronnie said Jen would meet them there. Wait, WHAT?!? The clique was was stunned. JWOWW even spit out her wine! Hadn’t Harley just been arrested for domestic battery after she allegedly hit Ronnie in the face and dragged him with her car?!? That’s a rhetorical question. The answer is yes. “Can I get everyone’s attention for a second,” Ronne said during the group’s steak dinner in Atlantic City? “So, obviously, there’s a lot of stuff that’s been going on with me and Jen, and she is in town and she’s here, and I would love for her to be with us this weekend. Would you guys mind if she would come to Pauly’s gig tomorrow and just hang out? We’re all a family. I wanna put it out there, and I don’t wanna make people feel uncomfortable.” JWOWW spit out some more wine at this point and Vinny killed us by adding: “I mean, she can come. I’ve always wanted to be on TMZ!” “What the f-ck, Ron?” Jenni later told cameras. “You didn’t go to Seaside ’cause you were dragged by a car, and now you’re like, ‘Yeah, be cool with her.’ Like, I don’t know where to go with this. This is next level mindf-ckery.” Despite Ronnie assuring his pals that it was alll good because he and Jen were attending couples therapy, Vinny also had his doubts. “Ron is telling us that the fighting with Jen has ended,” he said in a confessional, concluding: “That’s like him saying that the fighting with Sam has ended, which we all know has never ended. Obviously, we’re all terrified. He’s gonna do what he wants anyway, so there’s not much we can do.” And, with that basically, we faded to black. Return next week to find out what happened when Harley actually arrived in Atlantic City!

Dancing with the Stars Recap: Who the Eff is Voting for Joe?!

“Most Memorable Year” night on Dancing with the Stars gave us a lot of heartwarming stories, some great dancing, and some terrible dancing.  Oh yes, Grocery Store Joe is still terrible, but did he manage to show signs of improvement? Let’s break down the latest installment, shall we? Mary Lou Retton and Sasha Farber This compatible duo went with the Viennese Waltz to “We Are the Champions” performed by Ray Chew Live. Mary went with 1984 as her most memorable year.  That was the year she won the Olympic gold, so it was a predictable year for her to pick. But she did open up about her win not being all that solid in the lead up to it.  She had knee surgery which could have rendered her unfit to compete in the Olympics.  Her latest routine with Sasha was another solid one that allowed them to scale new heights.  Judges’ Score: 24/30 Milo Manheim and Witney Carson Milo went with 2018 as his most memorable year, and this could be attributed to him being just 17 years old. We dare say that most viewers had no clue who he was prior to his casting, so maybe he had a point.  Milo and Witney both went with another energetic performance that ticked all the boxes as far as the judges’ scores go. It was a Jive to “Can You Do This?” by Aloe Blacc.  Judges’ Scores: 27/30. Nancy McKeon and Val Chmerkovskiy It was time to dance the Rumba for this couple. Nancy went with 2006 as her most memorable year because she felt that was the year of her family.  The duo performed to “Love Someone” performed live by Lukas Graham. As has been the case for Nancy this season, there’s improvement, but she’s still nowhere near where she needs to be.  Judges’ Score: 22/30 Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten The Instagram star and the pro went with a Contemporary performance of “How to Save a Life” performed by Ray Chew Live. They danced a tribute to Alexis’ late mother who passed in 2014.  As always, it was a robust performance with Alexis showing off how flexible she is and the scores reflected it.  Judges’ Score: 26/30 Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe Evanna went with 2006 as her year of choice. That was the year she landed the role of Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter movies.  To celebrate this, she performed the Viennese Waltz to “Hedwig’s Theme” by John Williams. Evanna admitted that she had a connection to the movies through the books.  She was offered a role in the movies after becoming penpals with J.K. Rowling while suffering from an eating disorder.  This performance showed just how much she has grown as a dancer, and she has a lot left to give.  Judges’ Score: 27/30 Joe Amabile and Jenna Johnson Joe went with 2018 because he said it was going to be the year he wins Dancing with the Stars!  We’re kidding, of course. He did choose 2018 but said it was because he realized he could fall in love.  His Viennese Waltz to “You Are the Reason” performed live by Calum Scott, and Leona Lewis did not help him much in the scores.  He was all over the place. Who the heck is voting for him? Judges’ Score: 18/30 Juan Pablo Di Pace and Cheryl Burke Juan Pablo went with the year 1999, opening up about it being the year he hot-footed it out of Buenos Aires in order to pursue his dreams of being an entertainer in Los Angeles.  We think it’s fair to say he accomplished his goal! His performance of the Samba to “Ni Ty Ni Yo” by Jennifer Lopez was visually stunning. He and Cheryl upped their game in a big way and got a perfect score in the process.  Judges’ Score: 30/30 John Schneider and Emma Slater John has been rather wooden since his debut on the series, but he’s showing some improvement. He went with the Waltz to “Smile” by Ray Chew Live.  His year of choice was 2016 because that was the year he lost his mother. The performance was lacking, but the judges recognized that he was getting better.  Judges’ Score: 21/30 Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess Another week, another Greatest Showman number. Bobby went with a Contemporary routine to “A Million Dreams” from the box office smash.  In doing so, he chose 1998 as the year for him because he graduated high school while dreaming of having a better life.  Judges Score: 23/30 Tinashe and Brandon Armstrong Tinashe went with the year 2014 because that was the year her first album was released and gave her the success she was looking for.  Her Rumba to “2 On” by none other than herself gave her and Brandon some more time to shine. They have a lot of chemistry, and it shows in their performances.  Judges’ Score: 27/30 DeMarcus Ware and Lindsay Arnold It was Argentine Tango time for DeMarcus and Lindsay. The duo danced to “Lux Aeterna” by Clint Mansell & Kronos Quarter.  But they went with the year 2016 aka the year DeMarcus winning the Super Bowl. Their performance was tight and filled with big set pieces.  Judges’ Score: 26/30 In the end, it was Nancy and Val and Tinashe and Brandon in jeopardy. Nancy and Val lost their place in the race for the mirrorball trophy.  It’s bizarre that some of the others are still in the competition, but the show is becoming more like a popularity contest these days.  What are your thoughts on the latest elimination? Dancing with the Stars continues Monday on ABC. View Slideshow: Dancing with the Stars: The Odds are Out! Who Will Win?

The Voice Recap: Who Landed a Four-Chair Turn?

The Blind Auditions were dragged out even further on Monday’s episode of The Voice.  But there was one silver lining: The first duo in years made it to the Blind Auditions, but how did the couple fare? OneUp (Team Kelly) – “Could It Be I’m Falling in Love” Adam and Jerome got close to each other while shooting a music video, and decided it was time to form a duo.  The issue, however, is that their vocals did not mesh well together. They would have been wiser to audition as solo acts.  Kelly probably only took them on because it was so different to have a duo in the game. If they can dial back the confidence, they might be able to adapt.  Natalie Brady (Team Adam) – “Barracuda”   This 33-year-old Nashville singer showed up on the stage and immediately made it her own. With solid vocals and a great stage presence, she could be one to watch.  The surprising thing was that she only got two chair turns, but she could be a success story with Adam’s help.  Mike Parker (Team Jennifer) – “So Sick” Mike was quick to point out that he lost all of his scholarships because his grades were not up to scratch.  He turned to a career in construction, but he could probably carve out a career in music. His audition was solid, and we’re sure he will be a great addition to Team Jennifer.  Erika Zade (Team Kelly) –  “New Rules” Erika is the 20-year-old daughter of a rocker from Miami. She with Dua Lipa’s hit single for her audition, and let’s just say it was not what we expected.  She put her own unique spin on it, but was there anything beyond that audition that she could accomplish? We have no idea. Jarred Matthew (Team Adam) –  “Tired of Being Alone” Jarred went with an Al Green classic, and his vocals hit astronomical heights. He had a lot of confidence, not as much as OneUp, and that’s a good thing.  Out of all the performers Monday night, he is the most likely to make it further into the competition. He has the look of a superstar, so that’s a positive. It will all come down to whether his chances are ruined by horrid song choices.  Kayley Hill (Team Blake) – “Gold Dust Woman” Anybody who can tackle a Fleetwood Mac number should automatically get a four-chair turn. There, we said it.  Kayley was another solid performance, but she was a casualty of the short auditions. Maybe the producers wanted to save her best for the Batlle Rounds.  Kirk Jay (Team Blake) – “God Bless the Broken Road” This 22-year-old country singer turned in a striking performance that got the coveted four-chair turn.  He was confident and knew what was expected of him, and he set out to prove to everyone that he should be kept in the game.  In the end, he went to Team Blake, and that’s a good thing.  What are your thoughts on the latest performances?  The Voice continues Tuesday on NBC.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: The Shade Queen

Monday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County was light on the nice, and heavy on the mean.  It picked up in the immediate aftermath of Shannon Beador’s QVC debut, and she was on a high.  She invited all of the ladies over to her house for a celebratory dinner.  Gina Kirschenheiter was in attendance, and as you know if you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , she has butted heads with some of the ladies over her looming divorce.  The 34-year-old admitted that she was scared at the thought of “being a grown-up” when the divorce gets finalized.  “I’ve never been alone…I’m scared,” cried Gina as she continued to speak to the ladies about it.  Gina immediately took issue with the fact that Shannon did not ask her how things were.  “Just ask me how my f***ing day was,” Gina yelled as she cried. “‘I’m glad I’m out of this one,” complained Shannon as Gina continued to sob. “I am noticing a pattern in Shannon’s behavior, of her really not caring about me at all…Shannon does have this way of just looking through you,” said Gina. “It shouldn’t take this much time for her to acknowledge my existence, it shouldn’t take this much time for her to not be an a**hole,” she continued. But Shannon was quick to tell Kelly Dodd the real reason why she did not care for Gina.  “She’s 20 years younger than me… and she stirred the pot a few times with me,” Shannon said to her friend.  It makes sense that Shannon would want to keep the new additions away from her because she wants to maintain some sort of storyline to have her contract picked up for another year.  If these new women have a more significant presence, she runs the risk of being demoted to the dreaded “friend” status.  What’s more, the new housewives come at a lower price tag because they haven’t been part of the show for as long.  Elsewhere, Emily questioned whether it would be a wise decision to attempt to have another baby with one of the embryos she had left from her fertility treatments.  Emily was open about her almost dying after suffering six miscarriages on a recent episode of the Bravo hit, so it’s fully understandable that her husband would be apprehensive about trying to conceive again.  “I don’t think it’s right that you keep pushing me in that direction,” Shane said, but Emily wasn’t ready to back down. “But I’ve always wanted more than one girl,” she said. Emily was told that carrying another child could kill her following what happened the last time, so it’s a difficult situation for anyone to be in.  It remains to be seen whether Shane will change his stance on the matter, but we’re inclined to believe he won’t.  What are your thoughts on all the latest action?
