AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR 708: Kansas City Finals Recap

Kansas City is the latest city finals for this installment of “American Ninja Warrior” is brought to you by ‘The Body Prop’. Got an arrogant athlete? This little obstacle will hit them with a huge dose of reality, complete with quivering muscles and shame. The Kansas City Finals saw some surprises both in the winners and losers group, with a cowboy in jeans proving country boys can handle the course. We also saw the only female in the competition fall short in a hurry to the dismay of the crowd and other athletes.

Brandon Mears got it started and is the “best looking big man” Akbar Gbajabiamila has ever seen. I was unclear if that pertained to the former NFLer’s entire life or just on the show. This cocky fireman got doused when he ran into the Body Prop. Dude was fit upstairs but those bird legs let him down on the obstacle that required him to stretch across two columns and inch his way across the fall.

The Ring Toss is one of the more entertaining stops on the course, but it rarely eliminates these athletes. Dan Polizzi got a little careless on his run and ended up getting tossed into the water as a result.

It’s cool to see everyday guys do well in American Ninja Warrior. Contractor, Dan Banura had a good run going until he slipped on the Shelf Grab. This guy was left hanging by his wife and used this competition to find a bond with his kids. The back story of his training was better than his city finals performance, but that is part of the appeal of ANW. The journey is what matters, not necessarily the final goal.

There was a first in the K.C. Finals as an accountant got injured for the first time in the history of the world. Kevin Hogan got a nasty cut / burn as he slid down the barrel pole at the end of the Bungees. The Shelf Grab ended this CPA‘s night.

For the Salmon Ladder to be a part of every single backyard training course, it can still bite these guys when it counts. ANW fanboy Alan Adams was pretty cocky during the first half of the course and I thought he may try to kiss co-host Kristine Leahy right on the mouth if he finished the course. He never got the chance as he failed to get up the Salmon Ladder safely.

Nice to see old guys doing it big on American Ninja Warrior also. 53 year old construction foreman Jon Stewart didn’t finish the course or move on to Vegas, but he showed what the older folks can do. While most guys his age are drinking a twelve pack a night, this guy was running around with twenty year olds competing on a world class stage.

Isaac Caldiero looks like the guy we all love to hate. Long hair, a sweater tied around his waste, and fit as a fiddle. The elite rock climber was impressive with his strength and agility right up until the Body Prop humbled him right into the pool below. The Prop laid waste to the first eight competitors as they just couldn’t get through it fast enough to keep from tiring out. There is no way to rest on the damn thing at all.

Noah Kaufman was a big let down as he was a victim to the seemingly easy Bungee Ropes. The light rain was the difference as he fell trying to dismount on the barrel pole.

Dan Yager was oh so close to getting through the Body Prop only to crash at the end. His run showed just how helpful it is to watch others compete before you. The Shelf Grab could mess you up if you don’t know the best technique. Watching the dos and very wet don’ts is a great cheat sheet.

The Body Prop was finally conquered not by a gymnast, rock climber, or tight rope artist, but by a French sailor! Of course! Brendan Couvreux was the lightest guy there which certainly helped his cause as he conquered the Prop on his way to finishing the entire course. Kid ended up third on the night with an impressive performance. I’m not sure this guy isn’t a real life Spiderman judging by the ease with which he beat the Invisible Ladder.

Brandon Barret was a tough competitor with a tougher history having grown up with parents who fell victim to drug abuse. Luckily for him he was adopted at age 13 by a family that gave him stability. This guy was driven. You could see it in his face during his interviews. His run came to an end at the Body Prop like so many others. He fell immediately at the start of the Prop. He would’ve benefited more by just diving into the water to stop the clock!

The crowd favorite had to be Michael Stanger. The guy started working out to get stronger in order to help his sick wife move around their home. The guy could have benefited from a fast run since most of the competition got dropped at the Body Prop. But I felt like Stanger was living in the moment and there was no tomorrow for him. He didn’t care about Vegas. He was intent on finishing this course. The fairy tale ending was not to be though as he fell victim to the Body Prop. He and his wife were super pleased with his efforts as she exclaimed how she was “so proud of him” over and over.

Ian Dory had the right shoes for the Prop is my only guess as to how he flew through it. The tube socks may have been a factor as well, but I don’t see how they affected physics in this case. Dory ended up at number two on the night as he finished this extremely difficult course in 6:44.51.

If ever there was a let down on ANW, we witnessed it as Meagan Martin fell right out of the gate. No obstacle should be underestimated here and it only takes a slight miscue to end a run. This sport is one of inches just like many others. A little off here, a little slow there, and bam…you are out of the mix.

The ladies in the audience sure seemed to love the cowboy ninja, Lance Pekus. Wearing jeans may not have been the best choice of attire, but he made it through the course like a champ. The Body Prop was no big deal for him and he even got up the Invisible Ladder to beat Dory’s time by more than a full minute. This guy has the right frame and strength to win at nationals. He also has a big personality to go along with it.

ANW heads to Houston next week for more high flying drama and super athletes to do the seemingly impossible.

LOVE & HIP HOP ATLANTA 415: Time For Doing Me

Everything ratchets up like crazy on “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta,” and the stakes are high as the drama is on nonstop.

Momma Dee invites Erica to be in her wedding as a bridesmaid and she about died. She also invited her to go dress shopping with her and all Erica can say is, “look at God… aint he good?”

So during her dress shopping, she brings together her daughter Jasmine, her best friend, Erica and Bambi to help her and to ask them to be their bridesmaids. Jasmine is not feeling it and tells her momma, pretty much, I can’t do it. So when Bambi offered everyone hair for the wedding and Erica immediately says, “I’m good” which causes them to go back and forth. Momma Dee is not having it and tells them, “I’m bout to go whiplash.”

Tiffany Foxx takes it upon herself to invite Joseline to a meeting to make sure that she is okay with Stevie J working on her mix tape. Now she spills the beans and is kind of messy here in the way she tells her as she says that Stevie said everything was okay and that his “wife” is not an issue. Joseline is taken aback and makes a mental note about the situation as she then (for some reason) gets into her beef with Jessica Dime. Tiffany cannot believe what she is hearing. Since the two have their differences, she is thoroughly entertained by the details of the threesome Joseline, Stevie and Jessica had. Of course Joseline set the record straight that Stevie didn’t want to screw her because she was “too fat.” Oh Puerto Rican Princess.

So Joseline goes into the studio to record and it is crap. She is so disrespectful and I don’t understand why Stevie is even with her. While in the studio and with Karlie once again there to be messy and give advice that she has no business giving, Joseline tells her, “Stevie is my husband but he’s still at trick in my eyes.” Who the fuck says that about the man they are married to? And she’s always talking about screwing other chicks…. Like… I can’t even…. Where they do that shit at?

Later, as she and Stevie J lye in the bed, she tells him she already knew about him working with the Foxx. She also tells him that she “took it in her own hands” to work with other people. Stevie no doubt feels a way for her side stepping him. He quickly shuts her down and she goes from hype to quiet and he puts her in her place about doing shit with other people.

Nikko’s mom is in town because he wants to tell her about he and Margo getting a divorce. It is clear that his momma is a straightforward woman so when his wife arrives and they drop the bomb on her, she says, “Is this a joke?” She is overwhelmed because she thought they would make it through it their issues. This is also the time that Margo lets them know (because his mom asked) that she is seeing someone else. Nikko feels a certain kind of way because now he knows that there is no going back. He’s really hypocritical here because his embarrassment is nothing compared to hers when he did the sex tape.

Messy Karlie goes to have a talk with Kalenna. It is clear that everything she is going through continues to take a toll on her in particular with Rasheeda. She also shares how upset she is with Tony about him blurting out that she may be dealing with post partum during the double date with her ex best friend and Kirk. Honestly, I think that she is just extra cocky and emotional because she definitely is dealing with something that is very common for women who just gave birth.

Scrappy and Bambi have their much-needed talk. Since the last time we saw them they blew up at each other. This time around, they listen to each other and seem to come to an understanding about where the other is coming from.

Then there is Jessica Dime and she feels a certain way about Jermaine Dupree not wanting to work with. She blames Mimi for not having enough pull to get JD but bitch it’s your work. Your shit is not good. She and Margo form a kind of alliance and agree to work together on Margo’s “Start a War” song. I’m sure their disdained for Mimi also has something to do with their little partnership too.

The episode ends with Tiffany Foxx and Jessica Dime having an altercation. Dime sees her in the club and decides to go over and talk to her (thanks to Dawn encouraging her to have a conversation). Dime loses it when Foxx tells her that she’s working with Stevie and Jazzy. She also tells her that Mimi said she is rough around the edges and the producers don’t want to work with her. Jessica does not like what she’s saying nor does she like Tiffany telling her how she needs to be more professional and get some class so what does Jessica Dime do- throw water in her face as she walks away.

This bitch is out of control and it’s easy to see why no one wants to work with her.

Until next week.

ABOUT LOVE & HIP HOP ATLANTA

Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta follows the lives of Atlanta’s hip-hop elite as they take on the trials and tribulations of juggling both their professional and personal lives…which often intersect and unravel for the whole world to see! After 3 seasons of ups and downs in both personal and professional pursuits, the cast of Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta have either learned from the ATL game of mixing business and pleasure, or are about to have the same game turned on them! With artists rising and falling, and families growing or being torn apart, the cast members are about to have their lives changed in ways they never imagined…for better or worse! Nothing is off limits as they explore the good, the bad, and sometimes even the naughty side of love, passion, fame, and hip-hop!

ATL’s hip-hop scene is ever evolving, and this season our cast is looking to continue to be on the cutting edge of what’s hot in this music mecca. The Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta ladies have evolved from aspirational artists and businesswomen into savvy entrepreneurs, mothers, wives, and lovers who still struggle to deal with all of the challenges their fast-paced lives throw at them. After seasons full of infidelity/deceit towards their female counterparts, the men of ATL are seriously about to learn what goes around DEFINITELY comes right back around! The substance abuse, infidelity, and legal issues affecting the male cast will no longer just be blog fodder; they will learn that karma is a “biznayee!”

Stevie J’s “Life Partner Gang” is back in full-force! After Mimi’s tumultuous breakup with Nikko, she is looking for the professional and personal redemption she needs post-sex tape. Mimi is concentrating on her and her daughter’s future, and is ready to profit from her autobiography Let’s Have Some Wine. However, Stevie’s support is not guaranteed, especially when he has to face the legal ramifications in his own life story!

Meanwhile, after the events that occurred in New York (at the Season 3 reunion), Joseline has taken a break from Atlanta for self-reflection. When Joseline returns to ATL, she may have to support Stevie through his personal/professional issues as Stevie plans to build his musical comeback, and leave his rockstar lifestyle behind to avoid jail time!

Just when Mimi thought she gotten rid of her ex-lover Nikko for good, he’s found a way to keep a foothold in her life by reminding her he’s attached to her upcoming book deal – demanding his 25% stake. Since his separation from Mimi, Nikko has reunited with his heretofore secret of a wife, Margeaux, who is making her debut this season. Margeaux is still trying to learn how to forgive her estranged husband for his involvement in the sex tape with Mimi and she has moved down to Atlanta to see if their marriage is worth salvaging. However, Margeaux is none-too-pleased to know Nikko is still dealing with Mimi – even if it’s not personal, but all business this time.

Scrappy returns this season seemingly comfortably settled in with girlfriend Bambi, and out of the dog house! This on-again, off-again, homie/lover/friend pair are looking to see if they can make it past the “Friendship, Promise, Love” ring stage of their relationship to something more lasting. Unlike Bambi, Erica Dixon is feuding with Scrappy over support of their daughter. Erica feels its time to hold Scrappy accountable, and goes after him with a vengeance! However, Scrappy has his own side of the story, protesting he’s not only financially responsible for his daughter, but he’s a great father and is tired of being made to look like a deadbeat dad. Aside from being the best father he can be, Scrappy is also fighting to prove himself as an artist as he looks to regain his status as a force on the Atlanta music scene. Ironically, Scrappy is feeling pressure from an unexpected source; his own mother, Momma Dee, who had her own surprise hit with her song debut, “I Deserve”.

Notorious for meddling in her son’s affairs, Momma Dee may be too wrapped up in her own love-life having reunited with her ex-husband, Ernest, who has spent the last seven years in prison. However, Momma Dee’s tumultuous and traumatic past with Ernest may be too much for Scrappy and his sister Jasmine to want to re-visit.

Rasheeda and Kirk’s personal life seems to be back on the right track until new secrets in come to the surface. Rasheeda is adamant on opening up her ImBossy/Poiz storefront in Atlanta and will no longer take Kirk’s refusal! However, with secret properties and a sexy new female artist named Ashley Nicole, Kirk may get tired of Rasheeda’s constant push back and go back to his old “I do me” type ways!

Singer/entrepreneur Karlie Redd is on the top of the world right now, re-fashioning herself as a triple threat, actress, businesswoman, and recording artist – she has a hit single (“Heartbreakers”), a blockbuster movie (Top Five), and is planning on opening a store for her cosmetic and lingerie lines. In the spirit of onwards and upwards, Karlie Redd is over her past high profile relationship with rapper Yung Joc, and is proudly “married to her checks” at the moment! Messy Karlie is about her business and is not afraid to burn any bridge that doesn’t lead to her success.

After a year of living in Atlanta, a very pregnant Kalenna is ready to pop out both her new album AND her baby in the next few months! However, Kalenna is plagued with anxiety about her music and baby coming out into the world, especially when her and her husband Tony Vick are in a financial crisis. Kalenna is struggling to finish her ‘Black Orchid’ album, and wants her “husband-ger” Tony to step it up to help her career! However, when Tony decides to invest their life savings in a club, and put Kalenna’s career on the back burner, Kalenna may be forced to choose between her marriage and her career.

Veteran rapper Yung Joc has learned the hard way about the ups and downs of hip-hop, and this year, the pendulum continues to swing for this ATL native and hip-hop scene fixture! Yung Joc’s arrangement with mother of his 1-year old twins Sina, and his current girlfriend, Khadiyah, is a disaster in the making! With a career to revive along with his brood of children, their mothers, and Khadiyah to provide for and keep satisfied, Joc has his plate extra full.

Also, with the additions of fashion entrepreneur PreMadonna (the owner of the world famous “Waist Gang Society” waist trainers), Joseline’s former stripper friend Jessica “Dimepiece”, and hip-hop star Tiffany Foxx, the veteran cast may be given a run for their money by the new girls in town! Jessica Dimepiece & Tiffany Foxx share a lot in common – both moved to Atlanta for a new beginning, both are rap artists, and both are determined to be on top. As Mimi attempts to represent both women on MF Management, Mimi will get caught in a rivalry between these two fierce and opinionated artists!

Demi Lovato Struggles & Ben Affleck’s Overworked Nanny

Demi Lovato Struggles & Ben Affleck’s Overworked Nanny

Singer Demi Lovato is the cover star for Cosmopolitan’s September issue. In the issue, the pop star not only opens up about her current relationship with That 70s Show actor Wilmer Valderrama, she also talks about her friendship with ex Joe Jonas.

Demi reveals that her and Wilmer’s relationship hasn’t exactly been a Hollywood fairytale, explaining:

“We started dating when I turned 18…Right after that, I went to rehab. People told him, ‘You should probably leave. She’s on a spiral, and you’re going to be sucked down with it.’ But he was like, ‘I’m not leaving. This is somebody I really care about.’ We relate on a lot of levels. I’ve seen a lot of s—t. S—t people don’t know about.”

Although Demi has been very open about her struggles, she makes it clear that there were issues that were even deeper than what she has talked publicly about.

Since they started dating 4-years-ago, Demi and Wilmer haven’t always been as in love as they are now. The two called it quits and reconciled multiple times over the years, but Demi insists she is mostly to blame for their splits, saying: “The only times we ever broke up were when I was relapsing, whether it was drugs or in a bad place and rebelling against everybody, not just him.”

Demi has been sober for a while now and is more focused on her health and lifestyle to ensure she maintains her sobriety. This has allowed her to see things more clearly, as she explains: “People say that relapses happen before you use. Your mind starts setting up the relapse before you take that first drink or that first hit. The times we’d broken up, I had already gone to that place of, ‘Yea, this is what’s happening.’ I didn’t realize it at the time, but I just wanted to sabotage everything around me so that I could sabotage myself.”

However, Demi says that her and Wilmer are stronger than ever now and that he is not threatened by the big names that Demi often interacts with in her career.

Demi tells the magazine that Wilmer doesn’t get jealous when she goes to work with Nick Jonas, whom she is starting a record label. He even is friendly with her ex Joe Jonas. Demi says: “Nick and Wilmer get along great- Joe and Wilmer, too. It’s weird. In the beginning, I was like, ‘Why the f—k are you friends with Joe?’ [Wilmer] was like, ‘He’s a cool guy,’” Demi recalls. “Yeah, I know. I dated him.”

Reports are saying that actress Jennifer Garner is “livid” over ex-Ben Affleck’s “nannygate” scandal.

The scandal began when sources came out saying that Ben had been intimate with the family’s former nanny, Christine Ouzounian. Apparently the reports stemmed from the nanny herself, who has been telling friends that Jennifer fired her after she found out about the intimacy.

However, Ben’s camp has released a statement diffusing the accusations, saying they are “not true” and that he is considering taking legal actions.

Unfortunately, even if the rumors are not true they are still all over the press, which has upset Jennifer, making the split between the two even harder. Sources close to the family say that Jennifer is scared that the claims will affect their children: Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3.

Top 5 Surprise Premier League Soccer Transfers 2015/2016 Season

The Premier League 2015-16 season is definitely going to be very unpredictable, much alike the business the English giants have done over the summer transfer window so far. Liverpool have been the most active club since the end of the 2014 – 15 season. The Merseyside giants have brought in 7 new names at Anfield in an attempt to get back to the Champions League. Although the influx and offloading of players at Liverpool hasn’t been a very surprising affair as Brendan Rodgers needed to renovate the squad after a mediocre season.

Here’s a look at some of the most unexpected transfers in the Premier League so far.

Robin van Persie

When Louis van Gaal arrived at Manchester United, RvP was tipped to become the captain of his side ahead of Wayne Rooney. Despite not being handed the armband, the Dutch striker was believed to be the right-hand man of Van Gaal at Old Trafford. But behind the scenes, there was a falling-out between the two compatriots and Van Persie was released to the Turkish league after only three full seasons in Manchester.

The former Arsenal and Feyenoord player couldn’t find his scoring boots last season and was shipped to Fenerbahce. Van Persie was unhappy with the treatment of LVG’s treatment and it was a bit surprising for us to see the Flying Dutchman leave the top tier of European leagues.

Radamel Falcao

The Colombian striker was labeled as a failure at Manchester United. Not many expected him to play one more season in the Premier League, but he is back. Falcao has joined the English champions and will try to revive himself under the guidance of Jose Mourinho. It is a big gamble taken up by the Portuguese manager but we simply can’t rule out the possibility of Mourinho reviving Falcao’s career.

Petr Cech

Last season it seemed reasonable that Petr Cech won’t remain at the Stamford Bridge for the 2015-16 season. But one hadn’t expected the Blues legend to take refuge at Chelsea’s fierce city rivals. Arsenal are extremely lucky to bag one of the best goal keepers in the world without much hassle. Mourinho wasn’t happy lending Cech to the Gunners but he respected the wish of the player and the decision of Roman Abrahimovic.

Angel di Maria

Manchester United broke the English record after signing the Argentine winger Angel di Maria last season. The former Benfica and Real Madrid man was a revelation in his early days in Manchester but by the end of the season he seemed unhappy at Old Trafford. Giving up the legendary Manchester United number 7 jersey after just one average season has angered a lot of Manchester United fans. Not many would have expected that Manchester United’s record signing would leave for PSG after only one season.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

Many didn’t believe the rumours linking Schweinsteiger to United until it was confirmed on the club’s official website. The star midfielder is one of the biggest names in world football and his transfer from Bayern to Manchester was unthinkable. The World Cup winner is ready for this new challenge after winning almost every trophy with club and country.

Kelly Osboure View Slapped & Zayn Malik Single Again

Kelly Osbourne found herself in hot water after a controversial comment she made as a co-host on The View Tuesday morning. Check out the full video below.

During the Hot Topics segment, Whoopi Goldberg mentioned that Donald Trump is still leading in the Republican polls. While all of the hosts went off on how ridiculous it is that Trump is leading the polls. Kelly chimed in, saying:

“If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump? In the sense that…”

Kelly tried to continue her point, but the other co-hosts were so taken back and Latino co-host Rosie Perez jumped in saying, “Latinos are not only the people doing that.”

Right away, Kelly knew she was in trouble and tried back tracking saying, “No, I didn’t mean it like that! Come on! I would never mean it like that! I’m not part of this argument.”

By the end of the show, Rosie ended up apologizing to Osbourne for being “overly sensitive,” although Kelly admitted she had “every right [to be upset].” However, Rosie was adamant that her “disdain should go to only Donald Trump.”

Unfortunately for Kelly, even if Rosie gave her a pass, it didn’t mean the Twitter-verse would. Following the morning talk show, Kelly got a wave of backlash from upset fans.

Twitter posts:

Kelly Osbourne seriously chose the worst words to explain Trump's conflict directed towards Mexicans.. Smh.

— Danielle (@danielleariana5) August 4, 2015

When you try to act like you not racist but you can't hold it in ??? Kelly Osbourne smh

— Duron Carter (@DC_CHILLIN_8) August 4, 2015

How long until Kelly Osbourne's "apology" with her saying she has Hispanic friends and watches Dora the Explorer? pic.twitter.com/RBEu0ajm8H

— ᴅᴏʟʟᴀʀ (@callmedollar) August 4, 2015

Since the backlash, Kelly has taken to her Facebook to (kind of) apologize. Kelly issued a statement saying:

“I want to start by saying I ALWAYS take responsibility for my actions. In this particular case I will take responsibility for my poor choice of words but I will not apologize for being a racist as I am NOT. I whole-heartedly f—ked up today. I don’t want to bulls—t anyone with lame excuses. Although, I was stopped mid-sentence by Rosie and couldn’t finish my point I will not let Rosie take responsibility for my words. I should have known better as I was on The View and it was live. I’ve learned a very valuable lesson. It is my hope that this situation will open up a conversation about immigration and the Latin community as a whole. By the way I clean my own f—king toilets.”

Many are taken back by Kelly’s bold stance on the situation, as earlier in the year she publicly ousted her Fashion Police co-host Giuliana Rancic for her “poor choice of words.” Many are even claiming that what Kelly said was worse than Giuliana’s controversial comments.

Following this scandal, I wouldn’t be surprised if Guiliana Rancic is over at E! smirking with satisfaction.

More big news for the One Direction community came out today.

Although Zayn Malik is no longer a member of the band, the fans are still voicing their opinions after Zayn Malik called off his engagement to singer Perrie Edwards.

Many were expecting fans to show sympathy and sadness for the couples decision, however, fans have expressed that they aren’t surprised by the announcement. Many have even claimed to be happy and relieved by Perrie and Zayn’s decision.

In addition, most speculate that the announcement was strategically timed, as just when One Direction was making headlines, Zayn seemingly needed to bring the spotlight back to him and this announcement was the perfect way to do so.

Twitter posts:

? Zayn is single! What am I going to wear!!! ?

— Matthew Lush (@MatthewLush) August 4, 2015

I can’t BELIEVE Zayn broke the engagement with Perrie just now that he’s signed with another label I AM SO SHOCKED WHAT A COINCIDENCE

— carme ? (@itscarmeleeta) August 4, 2015

https://twitter.com/harrytyIes/status/628622103781076992

Fans took their stance on the whole situation even further when they began pointing out that Zayn actually got a tattoo of Perrie all over his arm.

Twitter posts:

Zayn has a tattoo of perrie Jesus this is a mess

— nawzli (@NawzliSharifi) August 4, 2015

Perrie and Zayn have been engaged since August 2013 and she was reportedly the reason behind Zayn leaving the band. However, sources say that Zayn was the one to call off the engagement and end the relationship, leaving the 22-year-old girl-group singer “devastated.”

BACHELOR IN PARADISE 202: Date Cards & Tantric Yoga

The second part of the premiere of “Bachelor in Paradise“ begins with Clare, from Juan Pablo’s season, coming into the mix. Bringing with her a date card, Clare gets the inside scoop from the girl’s on which of the men have already been claimed. Although initially Clare showed interest in Jared and Kirk, after hearing that they have somewhat been claimed by Ashley I. and Carly, Clare decides she will ask Dan to go on the date with her.

Meanwhile, Dan arrives back with Ashley S. who was ambulanced away in the previous episode. Dan reveals that Ashley had not been feeling well all day and it seems that Dan has somewhat fallen for Ashley, who is pleased his first date was in an emergency room.

Clare sees that Dan and Ashley already have a connection, and therefore comes to the conclusion that she either has to ask Mikey or JJ.

Awkwardness ensues when Mikey tells Clare that going on a date with her would be “awesome,” and it is obvious Clare isn’t too into Mikey. However, she admires his courage and confidence when telling her he wants to go on the date, Clare eventually agrees.

This awkwardness continues when their date turns out to be tantric yoga and Mikey is a lot more into it than Clare. Afterwards, he confesses that he finds her “very attractive,” in which she tells him off in the nicest way possible, saying she “doesn’t want to make [their relationship] more than it is right now.” However Mikey just doesn’t quite get the hint and tries to go in for a kiss, which is rejected by Clare.

The next date card is given to Ashley S. who right away chooses her hospital-mate Dan. Although Ashley is still her out-there self, Dan seems to be interested in her and their date ends up going really well.

Meanwhile, Tenley realizes every guy seems to be claimed, and so she takes it upon herself to pursue Jared. Ashley I. sees her walking on the beach with Jared and has her second freak out of the show. She channels this into determination and decides to get drunk, so she can feel confident enough to “claim her stake.”

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as Ashley I. had hoped and Jared basically tells her that he is open to giving his rose to anybody this week.

The episode ends with the first rose ceremony of the show. The men are in charge of giving out the roses and therefore at least one woman will be going home.

The two women who feel they are in jeopardy are Tenley and Jillian, and therefore both of them try and pursue JJ last minute. Tenley even “gives permission” to JJ to kiss her in attempt to win his rose.

After having a long conversation trying to reassure Ashley I. how “amazing” she is, Jared shows off his sneaky side as he promises his rose to Clare if she doesn’t get one from someone else. It seems he feels more of a connection with Clare, but is having a hard time shaking off Ashley I. who clearly feels attached to him already.

Jared winds up giving his rose to Ashley I., as Clare receives Mikey’s rose, who definitely is not getting the hints that Clare is not interested. This means both Ashley I. and her sister Jennifer are staying in Paradise for another week.

Spoiler:

Everyone pairs off except for Jillian and Tenley, who are both relying on JJ’s rose to stay. JJ has a hard time choosing but eventually gives the rose to Tenley, which means that Jillian (and her new breast implants) is sent home from Paradise.

The sneak peek shows that there will be plenty of new additions to Paradise. In addition, many of the established couples don’t stay together as many are shown with a new partner in the season’s teaser. Of course, there is an abundance of tears from both the men and the women, as well as a clip of JJ being threatened by another man wanting to “break [his] jaw.”

The Bachelor in Paradise will be airing every Sunday and Monday for the next month at 8pm on ABC.

LOVE & HIP HOP ATLANTA 414: Counting Down

High drama is in full effect on this week’s “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.” There were screaming and dreaming and it was big all the way around.

The immature ass plan that old, messy ass Karlie and delusional Sina hatched to trap Khadiyah picks right back up where it left off with Kay Dee trying to beat the hell out of Karlie for throwing a drink in her face. They lured her to the event so she can “face the real truth about her man.” Yea cause that was the right thing to do. Lyfe Jennings was there and after everything went down, he pulled Karlie aside to tell her about herself and she couldn’t say a damn thing. I mean, these two grown ass women should be very embarrassed of themselves.

Later, Kay Dee visits Joc to tell him what happened. He is taken a back about it then she drops the bomb on him what Sina said about her having a fake pregnancy. He doesn’t really have anything to say. She tells him that she is going to back off because of all the drama and he goes off on her, telling her that she needs to get the hell on and stop threatening to leave him. I understand where both of them are coming from here.

Then there is Margo and she is really getting annoying. I don’t know why she thought that talking to Joseline about Stevie J would work in her favor but it backfired in her face. She told her what happened with the photo shoot and asked her if she knew about it. Joseline says yes and blows up. “Somebody tries to help you out and you don’t want it.” Joseline goes from 0 to 100 and I totally agree with her here. She tells her to go someplace with “your old ass” while Margo walks out the door saying, “Tell your husband to pay me my ten g’s.”

The guys (Joc, Kirk, Tony and Scrappy) get together to update each other on what’s going on in their lives. This gathering causes Kirk and Tony to come up with the idea to have their wives meet as a way to mend their friendship.

At Bambi’s video showing Rasheeda shows up to meet with Tammy and sees Scrappy’s woman all over the artist Laudie,. It definitely looks like they are more than friends. Rasheeda is uncomfortable because “scrappy … that’s fam.” This bitch is obviously not in the relationship for love because all she keeps saying is what scrappy hasn’t done for her career. Rasheeda is not feeling it and does not hide the fact that she thinks it’s messed up.

So of course, the first chance she gets to tell Scrappy, she does while he and Kirk are in the studio. He literally can’t believe what he hears. He didn’t know anything about it and he ain’t with that “sucka shit.” Then Bambi shows up and he confronts her. He asks her what’s up with it. She expresses how she feels about him not being there for her and he pretty much tells her if she walks out door, not to come back.

Stevie is living up to his promise to Mimi to work with Tiffany Foxx. They all meet in the studio and he apologizes to her for the last time they were around each other. Tiffany says she’s cool, but wants to make sure that his wife is also cool. He says not to worry about her, this is his business and that’s that.

Still taking care of business, he later meets with Margo to go over her pictures from the shoot and it turns in to her demanding that he give her $10,000 and telling him that his wife needs therapy. Margo just needs to back to NY because she really isn’t fit to play the bad girl role.

The episode ends with Kirk and Tony “making it happen” by bringing their wives together (without them knowing) and it doesn’t really go over the well. It is very clear that Kalenna is on some shit. She’s a hater and is just too hype for no reason. The guys go get drinks and when they come back to the table, the two are in the middle of a rising argument that it ends with Tony taking Kalenna out of the restaurant.

Next week will be just as juicy.
