Bethenny Frankel brought new meaning to the term "called out" on Wednesday's The Real Housewives of New York City, when she decided to dial up LuAnn de Lesseps' fiancé Tom D'Agostino, Jr. and confront him over his alleged infidelity. As she explained a previous episode, an unnamed source close to Frankel leaked her photos of a man that appeared to be D'Agostino, Jr. making out with a Playboy model at New York's Regency Hotel - the day before his Palm Beach engagement party. After debating when she was going to tell de Lesseps, Frankel was offered a suggestion from...

When Morgan McLeod competed on Survivor in late 2013, she had just started seeing a new guy, Kevin Brown.
"Kevin and I had only been dating for a few months when I left for Survivor," she tells People. "We both realized how special we were to one another while I was in the Philippines filming. We had no contact for two months which was absolute torture! Distance really does make the heart grow fonder."
Things got serious when McLeod returned to the States – and culminated in an intimate Parisian wedding on June 7.
McLeod, 23, had never wanted a big wedding, and even considered the idea of eloping.

"The Walking Dead" cast and creators received a typically glowing reception at this year's San Diego Comic Con, where the epic first trailer for Season 6 (embedded above) premiered in Hall H to an audience of 6,000 screaming fans. Later, showrunner Scott M. Gimple, producer/director/special makeup f/x designer Gregory Nicotero and cast members including Andrew Lincoln, Danai Gurira, Melissa McBride and Norman Reedus sat down with the press for a series of interviews. Here are 13 of the best quotes/revelations from that chat. 1. Steven Yeun hated Lori as much as you did. "I remember the first couple seasons, there was a little bit of backlash on Lori. The character Lori. And to me, she was very similar to the character that they wrote in the book. In the book, when I read the book, I hated Lori.

The most memorable player in any give "Survivor" season is more a function of editing than of outwitting, outplaying and outlasting, so it stands to reason that there's absolutely no reason why the Sole Survivor should also be the Most Memorable Survivor. When it comes to "Survivor: Cagayan," however, there will be no doubt: It was the season of Tony Vlachos. The Jersey Cop build alliances, tore alliances apart, schemed, conspired, swore on loved ones, swore on his badge, found Idols, used Idols and bluffed with Idols. He also wasn't quiet about his domination of the game. Tony wore a target on his chest for 39 days and other players either chose to work with him, chose to vote other people out first or actively, in the case of Woo, carried Tony with him. Woo's decision to bring Tony rather than Kass with him to Final Tribal will be...

Martial arts instructor Yung "Woo" Hwang hoped that his integrity would be worth a million dollars in last week's "Survivor: Cagayan" finale. After a relatively uneventful 38 days in the game, Woo scored a key victory in the season's Final Immunity Challenge, which left him to decide whether he wanted to go to the Final Jury against Kass, presumably easily beatable, or Tony. Although there was the sense that Tony had played this season's most aggressive game, Woo made the surprising decision to take his Brawn alliance-mate to the end. Or perhaps it was Because there was a sense that Tony had played the season's most aggressive game. Put in position to make a game-changing decision for the first time this season, Woo decided he wanted to rest his laurels on Honor, taking Tony because Tony deserved to go to the end and Kass didn't, or so he said.

If you read my interview with "Survivor: Cagayan" 4th Place finisher Spencer Bledsoe, you saw one approach to the "Survivor" experience. Spencer was circumspect, critical of his strategy and admitted that he would have voted for Tony, the season's winner, over himself. Today's exit interview, with 3rd Place finisher Kassandra "Kass" McQuillen, takes a different approach. Kass thinks she played the same game as Tony only with a different gender, she thinks Spencer and the other losing castaways were arrogant and she thinks that the "Survivor" finale live vote suggesting Woo would have easily beaten her was "revisionist." Kass thinks there's a double-standard when it comes to female "Survivor" players, particularly for moms, and she's confident that a male version of Kass would have won the season. And I'm not saying that she's wrong. In fact, on much of it, she's probably right. In our sometimes contentious exit interview, Kass...

[Prelude: This was a nutty, chaotic week and I really wasn't able to get on top of my seven "Amazing Race: All-Stars" and "Survivor: Cagayan" exit interviews. Apologies for the slowness, but it means a little extra content over the holiday weekend and whatnot. Starting tonight, I'll post my four "Survivor: Cagayan" exit interviews, one per day (give or take) starting with the season's fourth place finisher. Then I'll get to the three "Amazing Race: All-Stars" exit interviews, by which time you'll hopefully have forgotten how awful the finale was. Again, though, sorry for the delay.] My first two "Survivor: Cagayan" finale exit interviews could hardly be more different. Up first is Spencer Bledsoe, who made a disadvantageous alliance at the beginning with Garrett, an alliance that nearly led to his snuffing from the notoriously weak Brains tribe. Spencer came close to being in a power position after the Merge, but Kass' abrupt flip-flop had him scurrying for several weeks. Only a string of Immunity wins, aggressive scrambling and Tony's paranoia kept him from going home, but a tight Immunity loss to Kass at Final 4 ended his run. In some cases finishing fourth is a disappointment, but given Spencer's early position, such a long run was so impressive that he earned a vocal apology and a sealed letter of apology from "Survivor" host Jeff Probst, who underestimated him initially. Reflecting on his experience, super-fan Spencer is humble, introspective and self-deprecating, which runs counter to...

But lest you think Kass has mellowed out now that the cameras are shut off, just check out our exit interview, in which she has strong words for people both in and out of the game that want to judge her.

Pre-credit warning. I'm going to ignore these live segments, if you don't mind. This recap is already going to be horribly long if I cover the two-hour episode. At least I get to fast-forward through the lengthy season-long recap. Also, this recap is so darned long that I had to paginate it. I won't be insulted if you just skip to Page 3 for the results and my Bottom Lines... Pre-credit sequence. "Nice Tribal, guys. That's one for the books," Spencer observes after the Trish vote-out. But the big question is immediately raised: Why did Tony vote for his former ally? Tony explains that it was strategy and he didn't feel good about it, but he couldn't take somebody as well-liked as Trish to the end. "I feel horrible about it, but I feel like it was the most strategic move for me to make," Tony says. I guess I can buy that.

Woo Hwang chose to go head to head against Tony Vlachos in the final showdown and lost, making Tony the Sole Survivor and winner of Survivor: Cagayan.
Kass And Woo Win Last Two Immunity Challenges
Woo reached the end of Survivor: Cagayan and had the opportunity to choose who he would take with him to the two-person finals. He could have picked Kass, a choice many believe would have guaranteed a win, but instead, his integrity lead him to pick Tony.

It's been a few years since I've talked with Jeff Probst either before a "Survivor" season or before a finale and I'd forgotten that I probably needed to request three or four hours as an interview time. Jeff Probst is in his 28th season of hosting "Survivor" and he still loves talking about the game, talking about his favorite players and the constant surprise that each season brings. You may not agree with his take on things -- I tend to root more for the underdogs, while Probst's love and admiration for certain Alpha Dog contestants is famous/notorious -- but you can't doubt his passion, even if it's for something like this season's all-power Tyler Perry Idol, which has been the source of ample grumbling on my weekly recaps.

There are many reasons to like Trish Hegarty's "Survivor: Cagayan" game. In short order, she was a key to blindsiding widely admired NBA veteran Cliff Robinson. Then she was part of a post-Tribal Council fight that led Lindsey to drop out, further shifting the balance of power. Soon after, with the numbers looking bad post-Merge, Trish was a conduit to convincing Kass to betray her fellow brains and turn on Queen-for-a-Moment Sarah. One could argue rather easily that those were the season's pivotal moves. Despite that, the Boston-area pilates instructor hasn't always been embraced by viewers this season, lingering behind alliance-mate Tony in discussions of likely winners. It hasn't helped that vocal fights with Lindsey and, this week, with Kass were edited as "No winners here" brawls in which both sides looked less-than-ideal. In the season's latest blindside, Trish went from powerful to snuffed after Kass and Woo...

I said as much in my recap of Wednesday's (May 7) "Survivor: Cagayan," but Tasha Fox has no doubt that if she hadn't been voted out and if she'd been allowed to make it into Final 3 situation, she was going to win, whether she went up against Idol-finding mastermind Tony or fellow Brain Spencer. "Hand's down, I would win the million dollars regardless of who I sat next to," Tasha told me in this week's exit interview. Of course, getting to the Final 3 required getting out of last week's Tribal Council and that required counting on Kass and Woo to flip against Tony. That didn't happen. But just because Tony seems to be in a power position from what we've seen on TV, Tasha hints that her own Jury sentiments may not be so clear.

When the Survivor: Cagayan contestants were split into tribes of Beauty, Brains and Brawn, everyone – even Jeff Probst – thought that the Beauties didn't stand a chance.
Sure enough, the Beauties were the first tribe to become extinct after Jefra Bland was voted off last week.
Bland, 23, a former Miss Teen Kentucky USA, insists that she had strategy, and is more than happy to dish about the moves she made while on the show.

And then the Beauty Tribe was gone. Had the Beauty Tribe been functional, perhaps they could have made a go of things after the Merge. They made the Merge with four players, same as the Brawn tribe, one more than the Brain tribe. And when Sarah was blindsided post-Merge, Beauty had a plurality and theoretically could have bonded with anybody to take power. With no particular unity, though, the Beauty tribe failed to mount any sort of strategy. First, Morgan went out without a whimper. Then L.J. was blindsided. Then Jeremiah knew he was doomed. Finally, on this week's "Survivor: Cagayan," Jefra Band became the last Beauty castaway sent packing, blindsided by Tony, who feared that a gender-based alliance might be the only thing that could halt his paranoid scurry to the million. Jefra, who previously expected elimination and then was spared after Kass flipped, faced her torch-snuffing with a smile.

Pre-credit sequence. Let's see... It was Jeremiah who went home last? Sure. Sounds right. The Final 7 returns home. Jefra is exhausted, but she's feeling good about the decision she made to stay with Tony and that alliance. Kass is feeling smug about Spencer's Idol, which she claims she knew he had. [She did, indeed, voice those suspicions last week.] She's also feeling smug about knowing Spencer wouldn't give the Idol up, saying that a college-aged human male is "the most selfish beast on the planet." "I used my Idol and I used it wrong," Spencer laments. "Tonight we lost the battle, we have not lost the war," he insists of his dwindling alliance with Tasha. The next morning, Tree-Mail arrives and it includes billets of money. "Survivor" Auction! Trish is hungry and looking forward to eating. "Foooood!" she howls. Tony, of course, knows that the auction will also include an Immunity Challenge advantage and he's determined to get it.

It's hard out there for a "Survivor: Cagayan" Beauty. For the third straight week, my "Survivor" exit interview is with a castaway who began the season as part of the Beauty tribe. Following in the footsteps of Morgan and Lj is Jeremiah Wood, who only revealed to his core alliance in this week's episode that he makes his living as a model. It wasn't like there was a Beauty alliance that is being picked off. Jeremiah wasn't especially close with either Lj or Morgan. Instead, he grew tight with former Brain Spencer and if you saw the combination of down-home Southern charmer and sometimes awkward mastermind and remembered the partnership with J.T. and Stephen? You're not the only one. Of course, this budding dynamic duo was thwarted after Kass flipped and then when Tony began his reign of terror, though they had brief hope this week when Jefra, the lone remaining Beauty,...

Pre-credit sequence. Jefra is still trying to piece together what went down at the last Tribal. This could take a while. She asks Tony for his reasons. "You guys wouldn't understand where I'm coming from," Tony says. This works for Trish, who insists she isn't mad about being totally in the dark. "I still trust Tony and he still trusts me," Trish insists. Spencer knows that Tony is unpredictable and that he may not be useful for long. "The sooner we make a move against Tony, the better," Spencer says. Tony Hopkins? Tony correctly suspects that he'll be in trouble after the last vote. So, for the second time this season, he constructs a spy shack, this one next to the water well. In no time, Tony's shack pays dividends. Jefra and Trish go to get water and Jefra laments that their alliance may be gone and she doesn't know where she stands.

As the Old Man of the Beauty tribe -- He's 34 -- Lj was selected as his tribe's leader within minutes and he wore that target on his chest for his entire time on a tribe he wouldn't have selected for himself (he self-identified as "Brawn" before the season, but showed his Brains in finding a hidden Idol). After the Tribal shuffle, Lj's "Survivor" time seemed even shorter, as it appeared that the Brawn majority in his new clan would burn through the remaining Beauty outsiders. In a shocker, though, Lj aligned with Trish and took advantage of her anti-Cliff paranoia to remain in the game.

Pre-credit sequence. After voting Morgan out, Solarrion is down to nine. As they return to camp, Tony knocks over all of the torches. He doesn't pick them up. In fact, he wants to cause a little more bedlam. He explains to Spencer that his alliance has been targeting people who don't deserve to be in the game anymore and he wants to know why he's been targeted twice (kinda, since no votes went against him the previous week). Tony says Woo's more athletic and Lj's more athletic and he wants to know why he's been targeted. Tony enjoys being a force of chaos for absolutely No reason, so he starts demanding explanations for why the minority alliance didn't just come kneel before him and agree to vote Morgan out. Yeah, Tony. That's just how "Survivor" works. "But anyway, I appreciate the compliment," he tells them. He has a 6-3 advantage,...

There's a contestant like Morgan McLeod on every season of Survivor. Young and pretty, they make snarky comments about the older – and less attractive – female contestants. (One of McLeod's gems: "If everyone could choose to be cute or ugly, most would pick cute.")
But McLeod, a 22-year-old student and former NFL cheerleader from San Jose, California, wants to stress that she's not as she appeared on Survivor: Cagayan.
"I'm not a mean girl," she says with a laugh. "I'm not who you think I am."

Before we knew anything else about former cheerleader and "Survivor: Cagayan" contestant Morgan McLeod, we knew that she was comfortable with her place on the Beauty tribe and that she was prepared to use her physical attributes to get what she wanted. Soon, though, Lj came to look at Morgan as a threat, because of a hot girl scorned and she became a target, stuck in a not-especially-successful alliance with the previously eliminated Brice. [Somehow I forgot that Lj picked Morgan for not-elimination in the very first seconds on the beach. I'd have asked about that if I remembered. Apologies!] Morgan was never shy about saying what she thought of people. She called Lj old. She called Kass old and ugly. And it's a favor that was returned this week. Flip-flopping Kass compared Morgan to a useless old dog, while Tony said that because of Morgan's laziness, "you can't tell if she's a pillow or a person." Morgan was never the biggest threat for... anything, but the members of the Brawn-y alliance decided that nobody...

Last night’s episode of Survivor was filled with some very candid comments from Morgan McLeod. Among the gems was this: “I am used to things being easier for me and not having to work that hard to get things.” And this: “She is a bitter, ugly, old lady. And I think she hates me because I’m cuter than her and have always been cuter than her.” And this: “If any person in the world can decide to be ugly or cute, most would pick cute.” And — after she was voted out — this: “They can say whatever they want at Tribal,...

Each week, host Jeff Probst will answer a few questions about the latest episode of ‘Survivor: Cagayan.’
Entertainment Weekly: Let’s start off with this hidden immunity idol clue that caused all the ruckus. The clue was hidden in Spencer’s napkin at the reward feast. Do you guys just place it in a napkin and whoever happens to sit there gets it so it is just a random luck of the draw situation? And seeing as how Spencer almost did not even open and use the napkin, have you ever had an instance where you hid a clue and nobody ever found it?...

Pre-credit sequence. "That was a cool Tribal Council," Spencer announces to his fellow castaways as they return to Solarrion after Sarah's blindside. "I expect everybody to be mad," Kass says, but Spencer claims he's not mad, just not appreciative of the move on a qualitative level. Somewhat stupidly, Spencer blames Kass' decision on being steered by "her estrogen." "The No.1 rule of "Survivor" isn't 'Cater the person on top,' it's 'Wonder about the person on the bottom,'" Kass explains. She takes shelter with her new alliance, as her old alliance keeps peppering her with frustrated insults. "You talking strategy, just stop please," Spencer tells Kass. "So, I pissed off five people, but I gained five friends," Kass says, calling herself a free agent. I'm really not sure Kass understands "Survivor" at all. Or maybe Kass understands "Survivor" flawlessly and it's friendship she doesn't get? Dunno. She's Lump,...

Pretty, mean girl Morgan McLeod was eliminated at Tribal Council and Spencer Bledsoe won immunity in episode 7 of Survivor: Cagayan.
After Tribal Council, Kass McQuillen returns to camp with Spencer, who criticizes her move at Tribal Council, which sent Sarah Lacina out of the competition. Kass thinks her strategy is sound and declares herself a free agent. The next morning, Kass is confronted with a new source of conflict: Morgan. Kass is frustrated with Morgan because she won’t help around the Solarrion camp, although, Morgan tells us, “She is a bitter, ugly, old lady. And I think she hates me because I’m cuter than her and have always been cuter than her.”

There were plenty of bad feelings, plenty of bad product placement, and a mad scramble for a hidden immunity idol. When it was all over, one contestant was kicked to the curb. Who was it and why? My full recap will be up at midnight, but if you’ve already watched and want to sound off on what happened, then read on for more. [Spoiler Alert: Read on only if you have already watched Wednesday’s episode of Survivor: Cagayan.]
After being accused of being an old dog who pees on the floor, and informing everyone that “I’m used to things being easier for me and not having to work that hard to get things,...

Pre-credit sequence. When we left, Aparri had decided to keep Jeremiah over Alexis. Everybody is very taken aback by Alexis crying after her elimination, though Spencer is feeling Ok about the vote and about the cohesion of his six-person tribe. Sarah wants to have two fast targets in case there's a Merge the very next morning and the agreement seems to be that either Trish or Jefra should be the votes. They put their hands together and celebrate Final 6. For a tribe that just lost two straight challenges and that only has a one-person number advantage, there's a lot of smugness. "The best laid plans often end up sprawled out on a murder scene floor," Kass says colorfully and portentously. For some reason, Kass thinks it's good strategy to tell Sarah that she and Jeremiah are the only people she worries about, loyalty-wise. "People don't like to be called a...

Like so many "Survivor" decisions, Wednesday (March 26) night's "Survivor: Cagayan" vote came down to trust. With a Merge coming, the remaining trio of Brains had to decide who they could trust not to flip. Would they trust Sarah, who might reunite with the majority of her Brawn tribe? Would they trust Jeremiah, who may or may not have gotten a clue to an Immunity Idol and may or may not have lied about it? Or would they trust Alexis, who professed loyalty, but had two chums -- Lj and Jefra -- remaining on the other tribe? In the end, the Brains didn't really consider targeting Sarah and they opted to trust Jeremiah, even while not quite believing him, leaving Alexis blindsided and crying. Although she was placed on the Beauty tribe for the purposes of this "Survivor" season, Alexis Maxwell is a student at Northwestern, which isn't too shabby, and...

Our Users had given Lindsey Ogle the second-best odds to be axed at this week's tribal council on "Survivor: Cagayan." Instead, she walked off the show after last week's axing of her pal Cliff Robinson. Even down a player, her tribe -- Solana -- still won the immunity challenge, leaving the rival players on Aparri to fight among themselves for survival. Your first place pick -- Morgan McLeod -- escaped elimination when the rest of the Aparri tribe sided with her in a feud with Jeremiah Wood. Instead, they turned on the wily Alexis Maxwell who found herself in the firing line. -Break- Make your 'Survivor' predictions: Click Here Among our Users, Zachary Hardy and bondzz did the best predicting the outcome of this week's episode.
