Love Children, Slow Divorces & a DWTS Fix? Sis, It's All Tea!

Bravo dropped the Southern Charm Season 12 trailer this week and it is not playing around. Whitney Sudler-Smith kicks things off by announcing to the group in Maui, 'The assumption is that one of you has a love child' — and new cast member Allie Newman (a former flame of Austen Kroll's) allegedly has a photo to prove it. As if that weren't enough, Molly O'Connell is seen literally sprinting through a house after Salley Carson, while Madison LeCroy locks herself and Salley in a bedroom to prevent a full brawl. Season 12 premieres Thursday, November 12 at 9/8c on Bravo.

Sonja Morgan came out swinging at Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea Awards this week, claiming her The Golden Life co-stars are 'constantly trying to get info that they can throw up on the show' and accusing them of bullying her to make her 'look less than' on camera. The RHONY icon — reuniting with Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley, and Kelly Bensimon — said the alleged behavior is why she keeps her distance from castmates off-camera. The Golden Life premieres on E! October 20 at 10 p.m. ET.

Nine months after announcing their separation in January 2026, Summer House's Kyle Cooke revealed at the Virtual Reali-Tea Awards that he and Amanda Batula still have not filed for divorce.

Meanwhile, Amanda has reportedly moved on with former co-star West Wilson, while Kyle says he's enjoying Summer House Season 11 filming as a single man.

Episodes will stream next day on Peacock.

Special Forces: World's Toughest Test Season 5 on Fox is delivering pure unhinged reality TV energy.

Meanwhile, father-daughter duo Mauricio and Alexia Umansky continue to be a fan highlight. The show airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.

Julie Chen Moonves made it official at the live Big Brother Season 28 finale on October 1: CBS has renewed the reality stalwart for two more summers, carrying the franchise all the way through Season 30. Moonves dramatically opened a sealed envelope on air to deliver the news to loud applause.

Ahead of The Golden Life's October 20 premiere on E!, legendary RHONY duo 'Ramonja' is already generating headlines — this time for Ramona Singer casually revealing she had a lower facelift during a conversation with Sonja Morgan about aging.

Episodes are also available to stream on HBO Max the day after airing.

The Amazing Race Season 39 is officially underway after a two-night premiere on September 30–October 1, and one of the season's most-talked-about teams is US Women's Soccer legends Ali Krieger and Joanna Lohman.
