Mon, 16 Oct 2023 20:30:32 GMT en-US hourly 60 Jada Pinkett Smith has been on everyone's mind since her exclusive interview with TODAY's Hoda Kotb. Jada's new memoir Worthy reveals information about her marriage to legendary actor Will Smith and the late musician Tupac Shakur. Jada and Will have frequently been in the headlines in recent years. In 2016, Will joined Jada in her call to boycott the Academy Awards due to a lack of diversity among nominations. In 2020, during an episode of her talk show Red Table Talk, actors Jada and Will openly discussed her "entanglement" with singer August Alsina that ended years ago. However, Will Smith walking onstage at the Academy Awards to assault comedian Chris Rock in 2022 would be the turning point that would cause fans to divide on who is at fault. Jada's new book, Worthy, gives extensive insight into her perspective and feelings during various moments in her life, but the moments shared with her husband, Will, are missing one thing: reality television cameras.

]]> Mon, 16 Oct 2023 18:31:31 GMT https://collider.com/big-brother-cirie-cory-goodbye-message/ Robyn Dixon managed to outsmart both Andy Cohen and the producers of RHOP last season by keeping her marital woes to herself. It wasn't until the very end of Season 7 that word got out about yet another indiscretion by her then fiancé Juan Dixon. By the time the Karen Huger brought news of Juan having a rumored mistress, Robyn and Juan had already quietly dealt with the infraction and were once again a united, albeit dysfunctional front. Robyn rolled her eyes and acknowledged Juan had inappropriate conversations with a woman but assured the ladies that he was repentant, and the two were back on solid ground headed down the aisle. Andy was visibly irritated by Robyn's disregard for the platform but instead of firing her, she was asked to do a solo interview to accompany the reunion, giving details of the infraction that should've been shared earlier in the season. She was spared ridicule during season 7, but her dishonesty paired with Juan's continued disrespectful behavior and dismissive attitude have worked to make Robyn a target without any allies on the show.

Ted Allen will host the five-episode series featuring chefs with a soft spot for Child. Using their skills and artistry they will put a modern spin on Child’s classic recipes. Chopped: Julia Child’s Kitchen premieres Tuesday, November 14th at 8 pm ET on Food Network. With passion and creativity, the chefs will face off in four preliminary rounds for a place in the finale where they will battle it out for the ultimate gastronome grand prize – a $25,000 Julia Child-themed trip to France. Their task will be to put an innovative twist on Julia’s recipes using mystery basket ingredients inspired by her classic French dishes. The competitors will not just be using their culinary skills, but also their knowledge of what makes Julia Child so iconic.

The way to get the power to choose who is in danger is by winning competitions. Some of the competitions rely on luck, others rely on memory, but most of them rely on speed and athleticism. Most of the competitions are also in favor of taller people. This leads to more men winning, which could lead to the women being vulnerable. Here are some changes that could make everyone an equal competitor on the CBS show.

The two didn't get along, which makes sense considering their personalities are vastly different with Manzo as a conversation spirit and Glanville being a partier. But it got so bad that neither finished the week-long trip, with Manzo leaving before production concluded, and Glanville being asked to leave by production. The controversies surrounding Season 4 have made for a season that fans cannot wait to see later this year, but this relationship is getting the most attention.

Among a real estate developer, a brand ambassador, a former model, a content creator, and a fashion publicist, Jenna Lyons stands out as the most fashion-oriented of them all. Her past work speaks for her as the former Executive Creative Director of J.Crew Group, as she transformed the company from a men’s catalog-focused brand into the fashion household name that it is today.

But how does the reality TV star afford her lavish lifestyle, and what is her net worth? She became a public figure on shows like Too Hot to Handle and Perfect Match, but that’s not how she earned the bulk of her impressive income. Here's how the Netflix star makes her money, including social media sponsorships, her OnlyFans account, and her business, Farago the Label.

And rightfully so, she now stars in Hulu's 5-episode miniseries The Other Black Girl, which premiered on September 13. She also debuted as a producer in Lifetime's Black Girl Missing earlier this year. With an extensive résumé in the entertainment industry, Beauvais has been staying true to herself in Hollywood and speaking up for minorities whenever she has the chance. Her acting journey includes her memorable roles on The Jamie Foxx Show with Jamie Foxx, Coming to America, NYPD Blue, and more. Only to be surpassed by her joining the cast of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for Season 10 as the first Black housewife on the cast.

Not a scripted scene from their reality series, this legal ordeal was all too real, with outcomes that left many stunned. Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley, the charismatic duo at the forefront of Chrisley Knows Best, captured viewers' attention with their unique blend of Southern charm and penchant for drama. Their reality series gave a window into their Christian family life, transitioning between their homes in Nashville and Atlanta. But underneath the lavish lifestyle they flaunted on television lurked financial irregularities. The Chrisleys faced charges of tax and bank fraud, which put a damper on their celebrated image. They were eventually found guilty. Originally sentenced to a total of 19 years in prison, the duo saw their terms reduced due to the nonviolent nature of their crimes and exemplary behavior behind bars. Todd's 12-year term was shortened to 10 years, while Julie's 7-year sentence was reduced to 5. This turn of events highlights the volatile and unpredictable trajectory of reality TV stardom. Todd is now scheduled to be released from FPC Pensacola in Florida on January 22, 2033, having benefited from a two-year reduction in his sentence. On the other hand, Julie is set to complete her term at FMC Lexington in Kentucky by October 19, 2028. It seems both are on track for an early release, marking another twist in their ever-evolving narrative.

Bethenny ended up leaving the show in 2019. She went on to call out studios, including her own, for exploiting talent. Bethenny was inspired by the SAG-AFTRA strike and put out demands such as a need for a union in reality television to address issues of fair payment. Many other reality TV stars supported her actions and agreed with her demands. This included The Real Housewives star Nene Leaks, Carole Radziwill, and Lisa Vanderpump.

They became so close that Aaliyah said she wanted Lydia to meet her children one day. So it was shocking to find out the whole time Lydia was Uche Okoroha's ex, the man who Aaliyah fell in love with in the pods. The situation became too much for Aaliyah, and she left after an unseen argument with Lydia. Since the show has ended, Lydia is sharing an update on where things stand between her and Aaliyah.

]]> Fri, 13 Oct 2023 18:45:30 GMT https://collider.com/lydia-aaliyah-uche-love-is-blind/ The Netflix original series Love is Blind has been at the center of controversy since the beginning of the popular dating show. However, past contestants have been vocal about their treatment and living conditions during and after the show. Former contestants like Briana Holmes - and ex-marital couple Nick Thompson and Danielle Ruhl - have spoken openly about their experience on the show and how it has affected their lives since their respective seasons' conclusion. The complaints and allegations against the Netflix show have seemingly gone overlooked until recent sexual assault allegations have caused the need for more attention to the actual work environment behind the scenes. A closer look at past contestants' grievances, accompanied by the latest allegations, exposes the failure of a TV show's ability to properly support contestants.

The D’Amelio family consists of TikTok stars Dixie and Charli D’Amelio, as well as their parents, Marc and Heidi D’Amelio. While the series follows the careers of both Dixie and Charli, the primary focus is on their family dynamic. How does a family deal with sudden stardom? What are the ups and downs of that journey? There is a lot of tension within the D’Amelio family, primarily due to the sudden fame of the two young sisters. Dixie and Charli are seen butting heads throughout, especially in their pursuit of careers beyond the social media stratosphere.

]]> Thu, 12 Oct 2023 20:00:52 GMT https://collider.com/the-damelio-show-marc-heidi-interview/ The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City was front and center, with reality TV star Mary Cosby leading the pack in a night of sarcasm and laughs. Mary joined guest author, Ziwe, as they appeared on Andy Cohen's late-night talk show Watch What Happens Live on October 10. Fans adore Mary for her blunt opinions and audacious personality, which was on display as the guests dished on everything housewives-related. Andy mentioned that the duo (Mary and Ziwe) were highly requested, and it's no surprise to see why, with their impromptu personalities. Housewives are known for appearing on WWHL and shaking up the Housewife universe, but Andy was surprised to find out what the RHOSLC star would deliver. Although Mary is a fan-favorite of RHOSLC, how far is too far when having an opinion on display?

He got engaged to Deepti Vempati in the pods, but their relationship fell apart fast in the real world. The veterinarian ended up facing off with the rest of the cast and even the hosts for his comments behind Deepti's back about his lack of physical attraction to her.

Of course, there will also be drama. The arguments between real estate agents are probably the most important thing about their standing on the Netflix show with fashion and selling properties behind that. Heather El Moussa isn't in the official season 7 poster, which is suspicious.

]]> Thu, 12 Oct 2023 15:46:35 GMT https://collider.com/heather-rae-el-moussa-selling-sunset-season-7-poster/ During his two seasons on Selling the OC, Tyler Stranland, a Laguna Beach native, has had a rough time. His recent exit announcement doesn't come as a surprise, as he's been in the hot seat given his personal life. The surfer boy-type realtor had already delved into selling real estate through his father’s mentorship, but his affairs on the show make for a convenient exit as season three approaches. He’s been under fire now for having three personal affairs in the midst of his divorce process with actress Brittany Snow, and his family leverage in real estate was already not a great look on him. Sure enough, Stanaland announced that he would not be joining the Selling Sunset spinoff for its third season.

Previously, she has had fights with co-star Danielle Staub and Margaret Josephs. She even had the guts to physically push The Real Housewives executive producer Andy Cohen during a heated reunion. But the most longstanding feud of hers that keeps her in the headlines is between her and her brother and sister-in-law, Joe and Melissa Gorga. Family fights can be complicated, emotional, and messy. This one is no different. And she recently got real about where she stands with the Gorgas since a heartbreaking Season 13.

The recording she shared was from said alleged mistress, who shared photos and recordings that could very well end the marriage between the two Real Housewives of Potomac stars. Not only that, but the incredibly revealing interview could have all kinds of implications moving forward in the future. It's important to note the woman on the recording admitted to being under the influence at the time of the chat with Tasha K.

Lots of partying, day drinking, and wine consumption is displayed. Some of its stars, like Gina Kirschenheiter, have turned to a life of sober living. But despite such, it can feel like the show itself and the housewives on it are designed to fall into this pattern of substance abuse. The most recent to be in the news for her use of alcohol is Shannon Beador. After a DUI and hit-and-run charge in September, Beador has enrolled herself in an outpatient behavioral wellness program that includes an alcohol component treatment option.

Fox, Syleena Johnson, Claudia Jordan, and LisaRaye McCoy hopped onto Zoom and created Cocktails with Queens. The series was a hit with viewers and was soon picked up by FOX Soul for 3 more seasons. Unfortunately, the show was suddenly canceled, leaving both the fans and its stars dismayed. This October, however, a new series, helmed by Vivica and Syleena, takes the concept Cocktails with Queens was built on, and puts it in the hands of a new Black-owned streaming platform.

Mia quickly hopped in and began starting mess in season 6, leading to memorable fights in both season 6 and 7. Her background is an interesting one, and if it weren’t for her personality, it would be one people could easily empathize with. In an interview with E! News before her Real Housewives of Potomac debut, Mia gave insight into her life, which to her credit, has not been an easy one. In the interview, Mia shared that she grew up in the foster care system, which is a notoriously broken system in the United States. On the topic of her youth, Mia shared with E!,

She started out aligned with Cirie Fields and Felicia Cannon who formed the Bye Bye Bitches alliance and the Brown Sugar Babes. In recent weeks, she formed a final two alliance with Felicia after they were almost blindsided by Cirie's plan to evict Felicia and keep Izzy Gleicher. Unfortunately, her game ended on Cameron Hardin's Head of Household. The live feeds revealed Zingbot had something to say about her quiet game and Mecole gave her reaction.

]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2023 19:30:31 GMT https://collider.com/mecole-zingbot-big-brother-25-eviction/ Here she comes again. Just when television screens around the country had begun repairing themselves following years of rancor, repulsion, and revulsion, Omarosa Manigualt Newman is back to distort the picture all over again. One of reality TV's most recognized - and most polarizing - figures will make her return to the airwaves this week in the October 12th premiere of the E! network's House of Villains, a sort of The Real World-meets-Big Brother-meets-The Surreal Life-meets-Night of the Living Dead semi-celebrity competition series. The show, promoted as an amalgamation of reality TV's most dastardly and reviled stars fighting to see who will be the last one sitting in the living room, is sure to be an ongoing and noisy stream of tirades, invective, accusations, and brawls. Of course, Omarosa, infamous for all of the above, is a natural fit for this experiment in just how low one can go for cash, prizes, and 15 more minutes of fame. It's one thing to question whether viewers, in these times of extreme division and disharmony, really need a show that seems to have been created simply to amplify and celebrate malevolence. But to bring Omarosa, a personality whose unique brand of antagonism has crossed over from primetime TV to the very foundations of our government and back again, into the fold seems like an unnecessarily cruel and unrelenting twist of the knife into the already battered backs of the viewing public. Yes, Omarosa brings the drama and the ratings, but hasn't she done more than her fair share of damage?

]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2023 19:01:33 GMT https://collider.com/omarosa-attention-reality-tv/ SHEIN is known for their fast fashion but also has a history of being problematic. So it is odd that celebrities continue collaborating with them and finding ways to justify it -- the most recent being Teresa Giudice and her daughters - Gia Giudice, Milania Giudice, and Audriana Giudice - who all joined their mother to drop a SHEIN x Giudice Girls collab. The line includes a chainmail-like top, crop top looks, and party ensembles. While many were praising the collab, and writing congratulatory comments, many began to point out why the collaboration was disappointing and also not surprising for the Giudices. “Cheap, tacky clothes, made off the slave labor industry. Seems EXACTLY like the type of business youd [sic] associate with. Very on brand,” a fan posted in response to the news on Instagram, as another wrote, “Why Shein tho? One of if not the most problematic line of clothes there is. I guess the shoe fits.”

]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2023 18:45:32 GMT https://collider.com/teresa-giudice-shein-real-housewives-of-new-jersey/ Cameron Hardin started Big Brother 25 as part of the Family Style alliance and jumped ship when he found out the other side of the house made a rival alliance. He agreed to be a pawn for Cirie Fields' group, but eventually, he became a threat with his multiple competition wins and his refusal to be transparent about his target. It looked like his game was over at the beginning of the double eviction. He was evicted, turned into a zombie, and revived his game. But it's not surprising that he's still in danger, and he told America Lopez she's next.

]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2023 18:16:32 GMT https://collider.com/cameron-america-feud-big-brother-25/ Last week’s episode of RHOSLC ended precisely where today’s episode began; Lisa Barlow’s event. Angie K. confronts Meredith Marks after learning about the rumor that’s going on about her husband. Meredith flatly denies saying anything like the rumor, which for all we know is true. Meredith never explicitly said what the rumor was, and for all we know it could have been that he’s doing some insider trading or something asinine like that. Regardless of this, Meredith comes off incredibly suspicious anyway, and does her usual overwhelmed storm-off. It’s a solid dramatic moment.

]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2023 18:00:33 GMT https://collider.com/real-housewives-of-salt-lake-city-season-4-episode-6-recap/ Season 5 of Netflix’s love experiment, Love Is Blind, asks the same question as prior seasons: is love truly blind? Thanks to a season full of twists and turns, it’s safe to say that the answer to that question is both yes and no. With only two couples making it to the altar, one has to wonder if either couple will actually make it to the words, “I do”. Viewers have seen the ups and downs of couples Lydia Velez Gonzalez and Milton Johnson, and Izzy Zapata and Stacy Snyder, and opinions are stronger than ever this time around. Additionally, there has been plenty of drama outside of these two couples. Couples like Taylor Rue and J.P. (Jared Pierce) did not make it past the honeymoon thanks to a frivolous issue on J.P.’s part. There was also the major issue between Uche Okoroha and Aaliyah Cosby, and his response to finding out about her prior infidelity. There was also a Love Is Blind first, with two people being in the pods who already knew each other and dated in real life.

]]> Tue, 10 Oct 2023 18:01:29 GMT https://collider.com/love-is-blind-season-5-reunion/ The pod squad is back for season 5 of Love Is Blind on Netflix and this season is... interesting to say the least. It may be bold to claim it's the worst season released to date, but also not entirely wrong. For those who don't know, Love Is Blind is a social dating experiment where singles aim to find the love of their life without ever actually seeing them first. This is the fifth time we've seen the sanguine singles enter the pods with their notepads and gold cups in hand and get to know one another without physical appearance getting in the way. However, this season is proving to be more about the drama than the root of the experiment, which is to find love truly and deeply.

New spiritual leaders and movements arose from this tenuous time of war and radical thought, and that includes the Hare Krishna group. Brought to the United States by Swami Prabhupada, the movement was built upon peace and love. But what happens when the magnanimous and loving leader of a movement dies? Someone has to take the reigns, and in this case, things took a turn for the worse.

Peacock has just announced a new series from the mind of legendary horror master, John Carpenter. And this time, the stories are true. Suburban Screams is a six-part anthology that explores the “true tales of terror” that occurred in seemingly idyllic American suburban towns. The series is set to premiere on the perfect date: Friday, October 13th. John Carpenter is horror film royalty, with classics such as Halloween, The Fog and The Thing. Carpenter produced the series alongside Sandy King, Tony DiSanto, and showrunners Jordan Roberts, Patrick Smith, and Andy Portnoy. Carpenter directs one episode, while others are directed by showrunner Roberts, Michelle Latimer, and Jan Pavlacky.

There is a possibility of them finding love, but their main mission is to figure out which men are "f-ck boys" ready to break their hearts, or "nice guys." Each man has applied to the show in either role and keeps that a secret from the stars. The ladies then vote to keep men in each episode and eliminate the guys they think are f-ck boys. In the end, the ladies will pick their last man. If the remaining man is a f-ck boy he has the chance to win $100,000. If the ladies win, then they could win the prize money.

Audiences are caught between a rock and a hypocritical hard place praising the bad girl behavior that often drives the shows ratings. 47-year-old Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada is the perfect example of pretty privilege gone wrong. Since her introduction to the VH1 series in 2010, because of her 10-year relationship as the former fiancé to NBA player Antoine Walker, Evelyn has consistently fought, bullied, ridiculed, and shamed her cast mates. As one of the original cast members on the show, she waged war against any newbie who didn't bow down and kiss the ring.

Netflix is keeping the Squid Game excitement alive by introducing its reality TV competition series, Squid Game: The Challenge. Largely based on the original show, the upcoming series features a whopping group of 456 challengers battling out for the ultimate prize. Contestants will be required to participate in high-risk games adapted from the show, fighting their way for bragging rights and a huge sum of cash. Although the series is far from deadly, the competition is just as heated as the dramatic events of Squid Game.

That's because the game is a social one. Houseguests live together and every week they have to evict someone from the house. A jury is built and votes on a winner between the last two houseguests remaining in the house on the CBS and Paramount+ show. The dynamics between houseguests often reflect the dynamics between people in the real world. Technically the cast is roommates and the same perks and annoyances with living with someone else could help or tank the game.

But while it's already known that the show aged like milk, there is more to unravel about what transpired within the show that aired for 24 seasons. Naima Mora, a Season 4 winner, revealed that the modeling agency she signed as part of the program's prizes dropped her after she shaved her hair and gained weight.

She has always been open about her past as a stripper, a topic she also wrote about in her book, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice. In a candid conversation with former The Real Housewives of New York star, Leakes shared the story of her journey from being a stripper to becoming an actress and a reality TV star.

If anything, it came as a surprise that she survived the first episode. “The bag is so heavy. I can’t do it. My back’s killing me," Tara complained before calling it quits. To be fair, Fox's quasi-military training reality show is tough, both physically and mentally. It pushes participants to their physical and mental limits to test their resilience and abilities.

Apart from being a loving mother and just being iconic, all her shots never missed a single mark. As she put it herself, she may be known for her ice, but she always brings the heat. The majority of the drama in the show revolves around her, so RHOSLC may not have drawn massive viewers without almost everyone's favorite jewelry designer. On the recent episode of Sofia Franklin's podcast (via TikTok), the fan-favorite revealed how she was cast as one of the housewives of Bravo's reality show.

The New Jersey housewives featured in the show — Danielle Staub, Jennifer Aydin, Dina Manzo, Margaret Josephs, and Dolores Catania, among others — have all provided their fair share of unforgettable moments. The show, however, is centered on the family drama surrounding Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice, and their rivalry has been the focal point of RHONJ ever since Gorga joined the cast in 2011 as Giudice's sister-in-law.

The anthology series has featured many unexpected cameos, including singer Stevie Nicks as the White Witch in season 3, or model Kaia Gerber as Ruby McDaniel in season 10. But the backlash against Kardashian, and AHS creator Ryan Murphy, when her casting was announced was unprecedented. Although Kardashian is no stranger to public scrutiny, the AHS fandom's outrage went far beyond disliking the casting of a reality TV star in an acting role. Why do fans refuse to accept Kardashian as an actor, even though many of them admit her performance as Siobhan Corbyn thus far has exceeded expectations?

Twelve episodes into the 14th season, and the most drama viewers have seen so far is Ubah Hasaan ripping the sunglasses from Erin Lichy's face because of a stolen phone prank gone wrong. That is, until something happened off-camera involving social media influencer extraordinaire Sai de Silva. Several gossip sites have picked up a TikTok from a woman named Stephanie Tleiji, who shared a post from "X" (formerly Twitter) user @vixenjennie. The post, directed toward RHONY cast member Jessel Taank, read, “Jessel next time you see Sai, ask her about how she took her husband from his ex-wife and got knocked up while working at his bar.” As George Takei might respond, "Oh, my!" While none of this information has been confirmed to be true, it's eye-opening nonetheless, and certainly a piece of scuttlebutt that's hot enough to start a fire in the Bravo barbecue pit. What makes this tale even more enticing is how useful it could be to Sai's primary nemesis, Jessel.

Cirie Fields entered the house and quickly showed why she's one of the best to never win. Almost every houseguest wanted to work with her and she avoided becoming a target. But Cirie isn't perfect.

Heather departed the Housewives franchise after season 11 back in 2016. In addition, the RHOC season 16 cast included Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Noella Bergener, and Jen Armstrong. Heather's grandiose return was met with hesitation from former friend Shannon along with endless bickering with newcomer, Noella. Viewers have coined season 16 as being the worst season in RHOC's history, blaming "fancy pants" Heather and casting. However, season 17 would have viewers rally behind the New York native due to the unfair treatment she received from the other ladies, ultimately crowning Heather as MVP of this latest season.

Netflix fans watched the newcomer navigate her way as a prospective real estate agent who had not only zero prior listings but also no real estate license. Battle lines were quickly drawn as the reality TV show cast split into two sides, each trying to get the new girl on their team. Alexandra Jarvis took her out to lunch on camera, where they bonded over their southern roots - Ali is from Nashville, Tennessee, while Jarvis was born in Helena, Alabama. Jarvis opened up about how she didn't really get along with most of the other women at the Oppenheim Group after a falling out with her former close friend, Alexandra Rose. Then Polly Brindle and Alex Hall (yes, another Alexandra - with the addition of Ali, there are four in total on the show, and they all go by different monikers) met with Ali for dinner and drinks, where they complained about their fellow cast members and made it clear that Ali would, eventually, have to choose a side.

MAFS fans are notorious for balancing the need to satisfy their fix for hopeless romanticism against the sheer enjoyment of witnessing reality train wrecks crash and burn on primetime television. While Twitter and YouTube comments consistently crucify MAFS producers for their lackluster matchmaking abilities; ratings are usually highest when the couples implode from toxicity early on. After a painfully long and drawn-out Season 16, which didn't yield any real love matches, season 17 is jumping right into the drama with one bride changing her mind before she walks down the aisle.

The former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been making a lot of headlines with false accusations and saying things completely off the rails so much so that she has been checked into the hospital (on her own) for stress-induced angioedema. This hasn't stopped her from live-tweeting the most recent episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and deciding to come for some of the husbands while she can in a homophobic tweet straight out of the playbooks of 2006.

Except for McDonald's, anyway. The maligned girl's trip continued with Whitney Rose deciding to take matters into her own hands and planning her own activity with her very close and personal friend, Trixie Mattel. The drag competition idea and concept was a devastating one for Lisa Barlow, who was horrified by the idea of doing her own makeup, much less drag makeup. In fact, the problem was so serious that the producers had to be brought in. Why so serious, you ask? Because she spends $60,000 (there’s that number again) on glam each year.

They are obnoxious, loud and vulgar, at times abusive and controlling. And yes, some have a clear agenda why they are there, and it’s not for love. Curating a list of controversial cast members wasn’t an easy task, as the number of cast members viewers find quite annoying is long. But here are the Top 10 most hated cast members of all time:

]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 22:30:31 GMT https://collider.com/90-day-fiance-controversial-cast-members/ America is known as the land of dreams, but the truth is those dreams are fueled by capitalism. Foreigners have long criticized American supremacist attitudes, yet so many are drawn here because of the reality that you can be anything you want as long as you have the money to sustain it. America pushes the narrative that everything is for sale, even love. TLC's wildly popular 90 Day Fiance presents a perfect case study of the American mindset that money and privilege can buy love and loyalty. The show was introduced in 2014 and after nine drama-filled seasons remains TLC's most popular series. It centers around a diverse group of men and women who have been successful in earning expendable income but unsuccessful in love and relationships. Whether their inability to find love is due to being socially awkward or physically unappealing, they've decided the answer to their loneliness is to leverage their money and the appeal of the American dream to entice a less fortunate foreigner. The series began with American men seeking a much younger much more aesthetically pleasing but slightly naive foreigner looking to escape a life of poverty in the great United States of America. Later the series grew to include American women with similar shortcomings as their male counterparts seeking handsome young foreign men to save. Needless to say, the series has no shortage of Americans willing to provide a life of luxury in exchange for a hot foreigner and consequently, there are equal numbers of hopeful young attractive foreigners willing to trade their affections for a Visa and a ticket to the land of dreams. The conflict usually starts because time is a very present threat to the success of the relationship. The couples start with a 90-Day window to get to know each other and decide if they want to get married. If they aren't able to make the three-month deadline their Visa expires, and they have to start the process all over again.

A show that normally builds to the climax of five weddings will end with no more than two, how did a show that typically produces an abundance of engagements fail to produce enough love stories in its fifth season? One could argue a majority of the cast wasn't ready for marriage. But what it really shows is a more emotionally mature cast who knew when to walk away from the wrong relationship.

Many TV personalities join the program to win that Peach and to have their names in the ever-growing history books. But some of them fail to realize the commitment they are signing up for. Joining such a reality TV show means big lifestyle changes and even if you crave being on the show, not everyone is made for the screen.

]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 15:00:28 GMT https://collider.com/former-real-housewives-reality-tv-fail/ Dating shows are notorious for leveraging youth and beauty against drama to guarantee ratings. When ABC first debuted The Bachelor, 31-year-old Alex Michel, a Harvard grad from Charlottesville, VA was the object of desire of 20 young beautiful women. At the end of the season, Alex chose 23-year-old Amanda Marsh as his future wife and audiences were hooked on today's version of a modern-day fairytale. Since the series premiered in 2002, audiences have become more sophisticated and have started requiring more substance from their reality TV. ABC answered the call by introducing a female version of the show, acknowledging the feminist cry that anything boys can do, girls can do better. After The Bachelorette proved a successful venture, the network again considered the feedback on diversity and inclusion and included a bachelor and eventually a bachelorette of color as the series lead. Because of their willingness to listen to the fans and implement real change and representation in the show, The Bachelor franchise continues to be the standard for reality dating shows across multiple networks and genres. Most recently, ABC is taking a chance by betting on 72-year-old Gerry Turner as the first example of sunset love being a draw for a mainstream television audience. With each of his bachelorettes being 60 years old or older, it'll be interesting to see if audiences will welcome diversity in this new perspective where youth is no longer used as a variable to guarantee views and is instead replaced with real-life experience. What will be even more interesting to observe is if maturity will be a factor for Gerry as his choices range from 60-year-olds to the oldest contestant Sandra, a retired executive assistant from Doraville, GA who is 75 years old.

While the idea of the show is to fall in love "sight unseen" and to base one's feelings on the personality of who they're talking to, it has led to some awkward moments between couples when they do finally see each other for the first time. That didn't stop Season 5 from its awkward moments either with cast members Taylor Rue and Jared "JP" Pierce and their split, mainly because of JP's comments about Taylor's make-up.
