the real housewives of new york city

On the show today…

After a disastrous last season, The Real Housewives of New York City has been given an unprecedented shake-up. Here’s why it’s a big change for reality TV in general.

And the iHeartRadio Music Awards were held this week and this time around it was all about the night’s big winner, Jennifer Lopez. So let's talk about why Ben Affleck is suddenly making all the headlines.

Plus, the former second-in-command at Gwyneth Paltrow’s wellness empire Goop has made some toxic claims about the actress and business owner, and the workplace she created. But what’s the real story behind these claims and why is Gwyneth such a lightning rod for accusations like this?

The season finale of RHONY goes out with a bang, where Luann comes up with the best idea ever, identity swap night. But before the ladies went to their alter ego, they enjoyed being bosom buddies with one another, literally! Hear my thoughts on the final episode of the season, while I feel that Bravo gave us a filler episode with RHOP. Why can't Karen move past the Gizelle comment? Why does she need to do ANOTHER vow renewal? Why can't Candiace let Chris golf? Tune in now for the answers!

RHONY covers the end of Eboni's Black Shabbat dinner in Jersey with reflection of Ramona's continuous bad behavior. Luann meets up with women from the Fortune Society and Eboni finds out if there is a match for a family member from the genetic investigator. Is the match her potential father? Is Sonja falling off the wagon with her drinking? Why does Ramona always deflect from certain situations and constantly make anything about her experiences?

RHOP is powerful with Zen Wen coming at Gizelle with her comment about the image change from professor to overly sexy Dr. Wendy. Do we agree with where Gizelle is coming from? Why does Wendy come in hard at Robyn about her relationship with Juan? Does Ashley stir the pot with the Eddie rumors on the blogs? Why is Candiace starting to be an entertaining factor I'm enjoying this season? Find out now!

WTB covers Shahs of Sunset and RHODallas!

RHONY's Eboni hosts a Black Shabbat event at her friend, Archie's, NJ home. Ramona falls off her rocker, per usual, leaving the evening filled with discomfort and annoyance. Sonja ends up relieving herself in Archie's driveway after her rollercoaster actions at the dinner. Will Sonja ever address her drinking? Will Ramona ever learn to listen and understand it's not always about her?

RHOP continues in Williamsburg, where G and Karen can't move on from the past. G and Robyn approach Zen Wen about the change they see in her since Happy and Ness came into her life. How does Wendy respond? Who will stick up for Wendy's new look and attitude? Tune in now for the dish!

WTB covers Lala Kent, Tinsley's breakup with Scott, Hannah Berner and potential bridesmaids, Teresa's house listing, and Monique's real explanation of why she left RHOP.

Buckle your seat belt for Part 1 of RHOP reunion! As RHONY Leah would say, shots will be fired! Expect it from all directions, particularly from Karen and Monique. Gizelle is in the hot seat about her current status with Jamal, and Wendy addresses certain buzz words that Ashley presented in the season. This is only Part 1 and the altercation between Candiace and Monique was barely touched! WTB covers the passing of LVP's dog, Giggy, Madison's break-up with Austen and just found out Summer House is coming back in Feb! Let's get cozy with a glass of wine and sip away!

The event is finally here! This is bigger than the ponytail pull felt around the world in Jersey. Monique pulls Candiace down, physically pulling at her hair, adding some punches and leaving her own mouth to bleed. This episode of RHOP will go down in housewives history as the biggest episode EVER! Not only do we witness the terror of this fight, we also get emotional with the disconnect between Karen and Ray, and the disapproval from Gizelle's father of the rekindled relationship between her and Jamal. Part 3 of the RHONY reunion wraps on a good note and terrific high, leaving the ladies in a good place.
