Team Tyra, baby. The fallout from Reality Check is still shaking the timeline, but I’m standing ten toes down for Auntie Banks. The icon. The blueprint. The woman who had the girls posing in tarantulas and calling it “growth.” And now everybody suddenly has amnesia about who paved the way. Newsflash: it is not the 2000s anymore, people make mistakes, and some of y’all need to unclench and lighten the f*ck up. Cycle 25 rumors are swirling, the streets are whispering, and I’m here with my ear to the pavement and my fan on high.

Over in Beverly Hills, SCAM‑anda is unraveling like a Shein dress after one wash. Every episode, she drops a new plot twist that makes even the editors blink twice. She somehow manages to look guilty, confused, and overconfident all at the same time — a talent, truly. Meanwhile, Erika Jayne sat down with Denise Richards for a rare, grounded conversation about domestic violence, and for once, the show delivered something real instead of another fight about who sat where at dinner. If you or someone you know is dealing with domestic violence, reach out to a trusted resource or contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)7233 or Text Start to 88788.

Now let's clock The Traitors, because the Faithfuls are playing like they left their brain cells at the castle gate. Another Faithful got banished — shocker — and at this point the Traitors might as well start picking out their matching winner’s robes. The real question is whether Tara and Johnny are strategic masterminds or just dizzy from all the flip‑flopping. The gaslighting is so thick you could spread it like butter on a biscuit.

And finally… RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Is Juicy Love Dion the new lip sync assassin? Because mama is collecting lip sync wins like she’s building a LinkedIn portfolio. The real gag is whether she can claw her way into the Top 4 with Myki and Mia, who are basically sprinting toward the finale like they heard the prize money was doubled. If Juicy survives another week, the girls might need to start praying and stretching.

The Girls Are Fighting, the Docs Are Dropping, and the Tea Is Boiling — Episode 4 The Girls Are Fighting, the Docs Are Dropping, and the Tea Is Boiling — Episode 4 (The Shadier Cut)

Netflix really woke up one morning and said, “Let’s traumatize the girls again,” because that America’s Next Top Model exposé didn’t just drop — it detonated. Every dark secret we side‑eyed for years is now in 4K, and Tyra is somewhere pretending she’s never heard of the show. Mama, the internet has a dissertation with your name on it.

Over in Potomac, Ashley Darby is being dragged back into her Mean Girls era like it’s a limited‑time Bravo Vault re‑release. She got called out at the reunion, and suddenly, she’s blinking like she forgot the cameras were on. And that next trailer? Oh, the mess is metastasizing. Growth is cute, but accountability is where the wigs get snatched.

Meanwhile, Dorinda Medley is sliding into Jill “KKK” Zarin’s old RHONY reboot spot, and the energy shift is so dramatic it could qualify for its own Emmy category. The girls are already bracing themselves because Dorinda doesn’t “make it nice,” she makes it necessary.

And tell me why Bravo is out here playing hopscotch with timelines. RHORI before RHOA? At this point, the franchise is being scheduled by a malfunctioning multiverse generator.

On The Traitors, the castle is thinning faster than a Housewives' friendship after a sponsored event. Who’s lying, who’s crying, and did Rob really set up Eric to flop like a clearance‑rack wig. The paranoia is Michelin‑star delicious.

Beverly Hills is also in chaos — a new lead Housewife is emerging, and let’s be clear: it is absolutely, unequivocally, undeniably not SCAM‑Manda. The diamonds are shifting and some people are about to get cut. And finally, Drag Race. Mia walked in, giving star power, presence, and “I’m here to collect my check and leave you girls pressed” energy. The rest of the cast should probably stretch, because she’s running laps around them.

Jill “Z‑KKK‑arin” finally crashed out of relevance and showed us her true colors — and baby, they were not neutral tones. The media dragged her, the internet dragged her, and guess what… so do I. Over on The Traitors, Candiace got banished, but not before dropping breadcrumbs like she was auditioning for Nancy Drew: The Wig Chronicles. Meanwhile, Toya from Married to Medicine decided to diagnose Dr. Mimi as a “first‑season flop,” which is bold coming from someone who’s been fighting for her own storyline since Season 3. The RHOBH midseason trailer dropped and, surprise, surprise, Boz was right about Amanda all along. And don’t get me started on Rate‑a‑Queen — the last two weeks were such a flop they should’ve come with a Groupon. I’m spilling my top four for Rupaul's Drag Race, and trust me, some of your faves did not make the cut.
