<p>Entering season 2 of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/summer-house-marthas-vineyard" rel=""><em>Summer House: Martha's Vineyard</em></a>&nbsp;also meant entering a new season of friendship for <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jordan-emanuel" rel="">Jordan Emanuel</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jasmine-ellis-cooper" rel="">Jasmine Ellis Cooper</a>.</p>

<p>The once-tight besties started pulling apart from each other in <a href="https://www.etonline.com/summer-house-marthas-vineyard-spinoff-trailer-is-here-201878" rel="">season 1, filmed in 2022</a>, after their summer spent together in the Massachusetts enclave. It was the first time they'd spent an extended period of time together since Jasmine married <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jasmine-and-silas-cooper-on-being-welcomed-into-the-summer-house-family-with-marthas-vineyard" rel="">her husband, Silas Cooper</a>, who also roomed with them for the weeks-long stay. While Jasmine was in her newlywed era, Jordan was in her celibate and solo era.</p>

<p>"We're seeing Jasmine navigating newlywed-dom, and we're hearing me express -- and not just me, other people expressing -- they don't recognize this person as she's developing in this relationship," Jordan, 31, reflects with ET, video chatting ahead of the series' return on Sunday. Jordan struggled with Jasmine wanting what she had for everyone else, pushing the idea of a relationship and attempting to play in-house matchmaker, despite Jordan's protests.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I wasn't used to that type of pressure from my friend, especially as I express, 'Hey, this is not what I want right now. Right now, I'm celibate,'" the model turned DJ recalls. "And then, obviously, in between last summer and this summer, there were just evolutions of that moment, and some of those same themes."</p>

<p>Jordan says she and Jasmine "weren't speaking" when cameras went back up for season 2, the aftermath of which fans will see play out over the course of the summer. In the premiere, Jasmine makes mention of feeling a little confused by the distance. Other housemates, including Summer Marie Thomas, Shanice Henderson and Preston Mitchum, had also pulled away from Jasmine after season 1.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="39bb930f-b942-48aa-9d28-62556417f208" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"I know I had expressed to her-- I can't speak for everybody else -- but usually, if there's a collective group distancing themselves from you, usually there's a common thread," Jordan muses.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While viewers will have to wait and see what progress is made, Jordan hints things landed in a positive place.</p>

<p>"I certainly think there's a different level of self-awareness," she teases. "I do think that it's easier for her to kind of tap back into her friendships, because her relationship isn't so much the focal point this summer."</p>

<p>Jasmine's husband is MIA from season 2, as he was serving overseas in the Army while the rest of the group filmed. <a href="https://www.etonline.com/summer-house-marthas-vineyard-silas-attempts-to-shut-down-jasmines-girls-night-out-plan-exclusive" rel="">Silas proved to be a controversial figure</a> in season 1, labeled "controlling" by the women of the house for boundaries he put in place for Jasmine. The guys didn't shy away from calling out his antiquated ideas of women, either, forcing a couple tough learning lessons.</p>

<p>"Obviously, you're going to be different when your partner isn't around," Jordan reiterates. "I think that's not too crazy of an idea, but it's hard because Silas was a huge piece of, I think, the tension in some of the house last year and so, not having that, I think Jasmine was able to let loose a little bit differently."</p>

<p>There was still a Silas in the house, though; Jasmine was secretly pregnant with her and Silas' first child, Silas Jr., over the summer. <a href="https://www.etonline.com/summer-house-marthas-vineyard-star-jasmine-ellis-cooper-gives-birth-to-first-child-220810" rel="">She welcomed the baby boy</a> in February.</p>

<p>"I mean, as far as I know we're good," Jordan offers of her and Jasmine's status today. "I attended her baby shower. We haven't seen each other, but we've talked on the phone and we've kept in contact and chatted. So yeah, I think we're fine. I think we're in a good place."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="3144a5b6-839b-40fc-a8e4-c770f0697cd9" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Jordan remains celibate (going on two years), but no longer by choice; it's just that no suitors have stepped up to meet the standards she has set for herself. Now in her 30s, she's ready to let the freak flag fly for the right guy. Or, <em>guys</em>.</p>

<p>"I am on the hunt for three hoes," she cracks. "I think there's power in threes. I feel like I wanna-- I went through my 'pure era,' and now I want to see what it's like dating and living it up in my 30s. I don't know, I haven't been with anybody in my 30s, I wanna see what's up."</p>

<p>While Jordan's kept to herself since the previous summer, the same can't be said for her housemates. She previews a "different side" of Summer comes out this year, thanks in part to Alex Tyree. The two seemingly hooked up after the events of season 1, resulting in tension going into season 2; <a href="https://www.etonline.com/summer-house-marthas-vineyard-is-back-watch-the-season-2-trailer-exclusive-220176" rel="">in the trailer</a>, Summer confronts Alex about not inviting "the person you were inside" (aka her) somewhere.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I mean, it's hard to forget," Jordan notes of the quote. "We had just sat down for our first meal together, collectively, since the previous summer. So, it was quite the introduction to the trip, one that I wasn't expecting, and I was just stunned. I'm really glad they didn't show my face [in the trailer], to be honest, because the way I was just stuck? Yeah."</p>

<p>Jordan says that fiery moment definitely set the tone for the next few weeks at the beach.</p>

<p>"That was an accurate depiction of what is in store for the rest of the season, which is just shocking one-liners and interesting arguments, and then a lot of makeups and, yeah, a roller coaster ride," she rattles off.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJIRaWqAUK8">&nbsp;</div>

<p>"Then we also have, like Spider-Man moments where it's, like, 'You! You! You!'" she adds, mimicking the famous meme of multiple Spider-Men pointing at one another.</p>

<p>It's not all drama though; there are some heartfelt and personal moments, too. For Jordan, that includes sharing her struggle with alopecia, the medical term for hair loss.</p>

<p>"I was actually very taken aback by the response, just from the trailer alone," she says. "I wasn't expecting really anybody to say anything, and I got an influx of messages and emails from people who are also dealing with alopecia. So, that made me feel good, and that made me feel like, OK, now, I'm excited for more people to see it, because I didn't realize so many people were struggling with the same thing."</p>

<p>All the highs and lows offer plenty of fodder for a reunion, and Jordan is hopeful the&nbsp;<em>Summer House: Martha's Vineyard</em>&nbsp;crew will get one for season 2.</p>

<p>"I have a good feeling about it, absolutely not looking forward to it," she admits. "However, I'm looking forward to serving looks.&nbsp;I feel like I will eat that reunion up this year, visually."</p>

'Summer House: Martha's Vineyard's Jordan Emanuel Explains Friendship Break From Jasmine Ellis Cooper

<p>Farrah Brittany is back on the market.</p>

<p>The 35-year-old real estate agent confirms to ET she has split from her fiancé, Alex Manos, after getting engaged to the&nbsp;specialty car dealer in November 2022, as seen on season 1 of her Netflix reality series,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/buying-beverly-hills" rel=""><em>Buying Beverly Hills</em></a>. Everything that went into their decision to break up after more than four years together will play out on season 2 of the show, launching Friday on the streamer.&nbsp;<em><a href="https://themessenger.com/entertainment/kyle-richards-daughter-farrah-aldjufrie-splits-from-alex-manos-exclusive?utm_source=onsite&amp;utm_medium=latest_news" rel="">The Messenger</a>&nbsp;</em>first reported the split in September.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Very sensitive subject to be playing out on TV, but it is what it is," Farrah shares with ET, sitting down with her sisters -- <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/alexia-umansky" rel="">Alexia Umansky</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/sophia-umansky" rel="">Sophia Umansky</a> -- and her stepdad, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/mauricio-umansky" rel="">Mauricio Umansky</a>, to promote the show's return. In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffxvWee6ygg&amp;pp=ygUdYnV5aW5nIGJldmVybHkgaGlsbHMgc2Vhc29uIDI%3D" rel="">a sneak peek</a> released by Netflix, Mauricio and Farrah's mother,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills" rel=""><em>The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills</em></a>&nbsp;star <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kyle-richards" rel="">Kyle Richards</a>, speculate on the status of Farrah's relationship after more than a year of no movement on wedding planning. Farrah's father is Kyle's first husband, businessman Guraish Aldjufrie.</p>

<p>"I try not to deal with it too much, not to ask," Mauricio tells Kyle in one scene. "She likes to hide her emotions a lot."</p>

<p>"She always has," Kyle replies. "I'll test it a little bit and ask, and then I can tell if she's in the mood or not; sometimes she'll quickly open up and share. Other times, she'll be very short with the answer and I'm like, 'OK.' Trying to respect that. It's just hard. I just want her to be happy."</p>

<p>"It feels like the relationship is stalled right now," Mauricio then remarks in a confessional. "I know Farrah wants the fairy tale, but the reality is that marriages are difficult, and I'm really glad and proud that Farrah is taking her time trying to figure out what to do, because marriage is a huge commitment and even the best marriages sometimes don't work."</p>

<p>"It was really hard," Farrah says of making the decision. "The whole season, I was dealing with a lot, obviously, trying to focus on my career having so much going on in the family, in my own personal relationship."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="a00cd902-3c2f-46d5-a005-e7c832356638" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>As Farrah's romance came to an end, her parents also made the <a href="https://www.etonline.com/kyle-richards-and-mauricio-umansky-separate-after-27-years-of-marriage-207397" rel="">decision to separate</a> after nearly three decades of marriage. It all unfolded in real time as&nbsp;<em>Buying Beverly Hills</em>&nbsp;cameras rolled. Nearly a year later, Kyle and Mauricio are still separated and figuring out whether they'll recommit to one another or divorce.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I guess it was a slow sort of unraveling of two people that love each other very, very much, but actually weren't seeing eye to eye on a few things," Farrah reflects on her own breakup. "We decided to go our separate ways, unfortunately, but no bad blood there, and I'm just focusing on me and my family. I don't have -- and work -- the energy to be thinking about much else right now."</p>

<p>Despite those parallel splits, love is still alive in the Umansky house.&nbsp;<em>Buying Beverly Hills</em>&nbsp;viewers will get to meet Alexia's boyfriend,&nbsp;Jake Zingerman, this season. The two have been an item for years.</p>

<p>"We love Jake," Mauricio proclaims. "He's awesome."</p>

<p>Alexia, 27, admits that watching her loved ones go through personal pain so publicly does make her think twice about sharing her love life with the world, but she's also aware of the realities of being a reality TV star.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/CskcnHFryov/?hl=en">&nbsp;</div>

<p>"So much of my life is already out there, and there's nothing I would change about my life," she says. "I have no regrets, and my relationship is amazing and, you know, whatever happens in the future is what happens. Everything that we're going through is human and, obviously, I hope for the best."</p>

<p>"I'm just going to take that day by day, as well, and I'm excited for people to get to know Jake a little bit better," she adds.</p>

<p>Sophia, 24, isn't publicly linked to anyone romantically, but the <a href="https://www.etonline.com/buying-beverly-hills-season-2-trailer-mauricio-umansky-reveals-what-causes-stress-in-kyle-richards" rel="">trailer for&nbsp;<em>Buying Beverly Hills</em></a>&nbsp;teases an in-office flirtation with season 2 addition Adam Rosenfeld. Sophia joins the The Agency as an intern as she works toward her real estate license.</p>

<p>"This year has really been about stepping out of my comfort zone, and I've been to therapy and I've been a lot better at that, and that's definitely helped," she tells ET of stepping into the two family businesses -- real estate and reality TV -- with season 2.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I graduate college, and I decided I wanted to&nbsp;try out real estate business," she continues, "and I have this opportunity to join my family on the show and I wasn't going to let that opportunity go. I wanted to spend time with them and see what they do, so yeah, it's been-- I'm feeling great."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="a12ac36e-82d5-4194-ba45-fc96f18ea13f" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Adding more family to the mix adds increased scrutiny on Farrah and Alexia; questions of who's Mauricio's heir apparent pop up among the other agents, with self-proclaimed "Queen of the Valley" Michelle Schwartz throwing her hat in the ring and suggesting Mau leaving the business to his daughters would be "business suicide" to Alexia's close friend, Joey Ben-Zvi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I was taken by surprise, for sure, because we had been friends for a long time, so I thought it was a way to, I don't know, make a splash and I guess she did," Farrah says. "But at the same time, I've commanded many a room of suits, I have done much bigger deals and probably more than she has."</p>

<p>"At the same time I don't think she had to go that route, because I respect her and no one ever said she didn't have a seat at the table," she continues. "So it was unnecessary, but I'm gonna have to clap back if you're gonna go for me like that."</p>

<p>"It was definitely a bit of a shock," Alexia adds. "She labeled herself as a 'girls' girl,' and then next thing you know she's sort of undermining the effort and the work that we've put in. And just, it was disappointing."</p>

<p>"She really went for the jugular, and the good thing is, Farrah and I are strong," Alexia notes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Viewers will have to tune in to see how that whole saga plays out when all 10 episodes of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/80993568" rel=""><em>Buying Beverly Hills</em></a>&nbsp;season 2 start streaming on Friday, March 22, on Netflix.&nbsp;</p>

Farrah Brittany Confirms 'Sensitive' Alex Manos Split Plays Out on 'Buying Beverly Hills' Season 2 (Exclusive)

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/sutton-stracke" rel="">Sutton Stracke</a> is on the mend after a scary experience on set of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills" rel=""><em>The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills</em></a>&nbsp;season 13 reunion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's taken me, I'd say, almost six weeks to feel 100 percent better," the Sutton Concept boutique owner, 52, shares with ET over video chat. She says, a little over halfway through the Jan. 26 taping of the all-cast sit-down special, she started to feel flu-like symptoms.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I was like getting hot and cold, and I remember saying to [<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/garcelle-beauvais" rel="">Garcelle Beauvais</a>], 'Is it hot in here?' and she was like, 'Girl, no. It's freezing!'" Sutton recalls. "And I kept pushing and pushing and pushing, and the room spun and kind of went upside down and I remember grabbing onto Garcelle."</p>

<p>Sutton says she blacked out, falling unconscious on the couch for a brief period of time before paramedics rushed in while cameras rolled.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"My body went into a shock," she says. "I think my blood pressure was 175 over 120, and I couldn't stop my legs from shaking. It was really crazy, and they sent me to urgent care, and Garcelle came with me."</p>

<p>"I started throwing up everywhere, literally on the floor," she continues. "The doctor said, 'You need to get to the emergency room,' and I was like, 'In the ambulance?!' Like, I had to get in an ambulance, on a gurney. We get in the ambulance -- this was a funny part of it -- Garcelle said, 'Oh, I've never been in an ambulance!' Well, thank you. I'm glad that I can provide you this opportunity to get in an ambulance, ma'am. But I just kept falling asleep in and out and in and out, and I was cold and hot, and cold and hot."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="087f2655-425a-4579-8db2-93fa39558443" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Sutton says she spent about four hours in the emergency room, receiving a battery of tests that resulted in a diagnosis of exhaustion, dehydration and bronchitis. In addition to taking antibiotics and steroids, Sutton has started making lifestyle changes in the weeks since the incident.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The biggest lesson that I learned is, I travel a lot from L.A. to New York, back and forth, and especially that month, I did it every week," she notes. "And I try I make them really fast, because I have to get back home because my son [James, 17] lives with me, and I don't like to be away from him for more than two nights."</p>

<p>"I run hard, and I can't," she continues. "I cannot go at full speed. You know, I'm 52 years old. I think I'm 22 years old. I've got to take care of myself in a better way. When I travel, hydrate constantly and get more rest. I think that I can sleep on four hours a night, but apparently that's not true. I'm working on sleeping more and hydrating more, and just trying to stay calm."</p>

<p>After restarting her career with <a href="https://www.etonline.com/sutton-stracke-is-ready-to-tackle-rhobh-and-the-retail-world-exclusive-133776" rel="">the launch of her store roughly five years ago</a>, Sutton's now expanding into a larger company, Sutton Brands. It's added stress to her plate she didn't have in her previous life, before her divorce as a stay-at-home mom to three (James' older siblings, Philip, 20, and Porter, 21).&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Doing a new startup takes a lot of time and energy, while filming a show and being a working mother," she rattles off. "So, there is a lot of bits and pieces to this, and coming from someone that didn't work for 17 years and just kind of did whatever they wanted now, doing this, I'm like, 'Oh, I <em>can't</em> do it all. I have to remove some parts of my life that are frivolous."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="c4867abc-fa02-4bae-a0b5-18daea927e97" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Sutton says the ultimate takeaway for herself and for viewers is to listen to your body. While Sutton did just that in the moment, it did result in some things being left unsaid at reunion.</p>

<p>"The sofa must have tipped over, because just [<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/crystal-kung-minkoff" rel="">Crystal Kung Minkoff</a>] was left on that side of the sofa," Sutton cracks. "I mean, like, did you scoot over? Like, how did they work that part out, logistically?"</p>

<p>"I did have more things to say, and I am sure Garcelle did, as well," she continues. "I think Crystal probably took the torch and probably did a good job, but you know, she's always great and she was very vocal. I was starting to really lose some of my velocity near the end, because I really did not feel well, but Crystal was holding her own. I think she's a champ."</p>

<p>Parts 1 and 2 saw fiery face-offs between Sutton, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kyle-richards" rel="">Kyle Richards</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/dorit-kemsley" rel="">Dorit Kemsley</a>, including discussion of the pair's speculative comments about Sutton's drinking. Sutton is adamant, she does not have a drinking problem.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="23940a1e-6818-400f-bd1b-3c5e743953e1" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"We need to really stop the rumors about me having a drinking problem, it's enough," Sutton pleads. "It can be really damaging to me as a business woman. It's not true, and I just really want to be on the record saying that, and also the eating disorder thing:&nbsp;I ate on set. I had breakfast. We had a lunch."</p>

<p>"I have not spoken to Dorit since I got ushered out and taken to the hospital," she reveals. "I think I said what I needed to say to Dorit at the reunion, as far as that is concerned. We all know it's not true."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I think we can all let that one go," she reiterates. "Let that mouse go."&nbsp;</p>

<p>As for Kyle, the two shared an on-stage hug after their verbal sparring match and have been working on their relationship off-camera since.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Kyle and I had a rough year," Sutton admits. "We just had dinner last week and it was it was nice, it was very calm. We have a lot of work to do with one another, to build this friendship back, trust being the biggest factor, but I think the underlying part is that, we are friends at the end of the day and want the best for each other. So I think it's very hopeful."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="10768ed8-1c05-46bb-ada2-5823f305ff49" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Sutton is choosing to leave the reunion digs -- including Kyle saying all she brought to the show was a horse and a dating coach -- behind them, so they can move forward.</p>

<p>"We talked about our current lives, you know, because we are more than the show," she shares of their dinner. "We are actually friends, and so we don't need to pedal back. We just were really catching up and listening to one another and, you know, being there for one another, because that's what real friends do and so that's kind of that was our night -- and then Kathy came!"</p>

<p>Kathy would be <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kathy-hilton" rel="">Kathy Hilton</a>, Kyle's older sister who made a surprise appearance at reunion to close the loop left open in <a href="https://www.etonline.com/kathy-hilton-on-where-she-stands-with-lisa-rinna-and-kyle-richards-post-reunion-exclusive-192724" rel="">season 12</a> by some of Kathy's off-camera behavior. <a href="https://www.etonline.com/kyle-richards-asked-by-andy-cohen-if-she-could-see-herself-with-morgan-wade-in-rhobh-reunion" rel="">The reunion teaser</a> made it look as if Sutton started shaking at the sight of Kathy.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="d7948750-54c6-482d-9522-6e3539dbad69" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"Oh, those editors," Sutton quips. "It had nothing to do with Kathy's appearance. Kathy and I are good friends. I just had dinner with her two nights ago. ... but, you know, it's funny; Kathy called me and she was like, 'Honey, they're saying this...' and I go, look, it's OK. It'll fall out when we see the episode, because it's obvious that it's not you."</p>

<p>While Sutton was seemingly present for Kathy's segment, she did miss out on Kyle going into detail about <a href="https://www.etonline.com/kyle-richards-on-the-reality-of-separation-from-mauricio-umansky-and-not-hiding-it-on-rhobh-219790" rel="">her separation</a> from husband <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/mauricio-umansky" rel="">Mauricio Umansky</a> and the speculation surrounding her personal life. She'll face questions about all that, including her relationship with country singer <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/morgan-wade" rel="">Morgan Wade</a>, in part 3. Whatever is shared, Sutton seems hopeful it'll set the stage for a more positive season 14.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We finally started to have fun, and I think we kind of dusted off the cobwebs a little bit," she remarks. "I like to see all that crazy glamour, and Beverly Hills really sparkly. That's why we have diamonds!"</p>

<p>While no official announcements have been made about season 14, Sutton would welcome one-time 'Wife&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/denise-richards" rel="">Denise Richards</a>&nbsp;back to the fold after her headline-making cameos this year. The two recently partnered on a Sutton Brands clothing line.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="1d7f0538-08de-44b1-8e36-ad0eaa569552" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"Denise is great, just you know, she's a little kooky, but so am I," Sutton says. "Maybe that's why we get along, but Denise is also very smart. ... She's very clued-in, even though we're kind of similar. Like, we might come off kind of clueless and weird, but she's not at all."&nbsp;</p>

<p>As for season 13 newcomer <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/annemarie-wiley" rel="">Annemarie Wiley</a>'s future on the show, that remains a question mark. Much of the nurse anesthetist's season 13 screen time focused on questioning Sutton's medical history, with an intense&nbsp;interest in Sutton's narrow esophagus.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I didn't care," Sutton says of the never-ending conversation driven by Annemarie. "I mean, the great news-- it was interesting,&nbsp;because I've gotten so many people talking about their esophageal problems, and I was like, OK, this is cool. Let's get that out there. Anything I can do to help other people, I am all about. So, thank you, Annemarie, for helping bring awareness to something that I actually have."</p>

<p>Part 3 of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills" rel=""><em>The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills</em></a>&nbsp;season 13 reunion airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. Episodes stream next day on Peacock.</p>

'RHOBH' Reunion: Sutton Stracke Breaks Down Health Scare That Forced Her to Leave Taping Early (Exclusive)

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-valley" rel=""><em>The Valley</em></a>&nbsp;is hot... and bothered.</p>

<p>ET has your exclusive first look at the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/vanderpump-rules" rel=""><em>Vanderpump Rules</em></a>&nbsp;spinoff's explosive debut, which finds&nbsp;<em>VPR&nbsp;</em>alums <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jax-taylor" rel="">Jax Taylor</a>, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/brittany-cartwright" rel="">Brittany Cartwright</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kristen-doute" rel="">Kristen Doute</a> dealing with the pressures of adult life alongside Kristen's boyfriend, Luke Broderick, and fellow couples Danny and Nia Booko, Jason and Janet Caperna and Jesse and Michelle Saniei Lally;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/bachelor" rel=""><em>Bachelor</em></a>&nbsp;Nation alum Jasmine Goode and Brittany's college pal, Zack Wickham, join as "friends of" the circle.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jax and Brittany seem to be at the center of the drama storm, as they adjust to growing pains in their marriage. Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/vanderpump-rules-alums-brittany-cartwright-and-jax-taylor-are-separated-220746" rel="">Brittany announced on the couple's&nbsp;<em>When Reality Hits</em>&nbsp;podcast</a> that she and Jax were separated and living apart while figuring out what they want out of their next chapter. ET can confirm cameras are back up and filming the aftershocks of that announcement, which will play out toward the tail-end of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/the-valley-watch-jax-taylor-brittany-cartwright-and-kristen-doute-in-vanderpump-rules-spinoff-first" rel=""><em>The Valley</em>'s first season</a>. The supertease features the lead-up to their decision, with <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/tom-schwartz" rel="">Tom Schwartz</a> jokingly predicting the pair's future after Jax gushes about how he's "got a beautiful son ... a beautiful bar ... [and] money in the bank..."</p>

<p>"It's only a matter of time before you're going to be living with me," Tom cracks. "Divorced and miserable."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jax and Brittany, who have been married for almost five years, appear to fight the most over the future of their family, with Brittany wanting to give <a href="https://www.etonline.com/vanderpump-rules-stars-jax-taylor-and-brittany-cartwright-welcome-their-first-child-163578" rel="">their nearly 3-year-old son, Cruz</a>, a sibling. Jax tells his wife that&nbsp;"bringing another human being [onto the earth] is worrisome to me," bringing her to tears -- and when she fights back at him, he shuts her down and tells Brittany she "can't" express those emotions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There's also mention of cheating rumors, the stresses of <a href="https://www.etonline.com/tour-jax-taylor-brittany-cartwrights-new-bar-inside-the-vanderpump-rules-alums-next-chapter-214029" rel="">becoming new business owners</a>, Brittany not feeling desired and an intense fight in front of their friend group about how Jax treats Brittany.</p>

<p>Watch it all play out here:</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-html="&amp;lt;div itemprop=&amp;quot;video&amp;quot; itemscope itemtype=&amp;quot;http://schema.org/VideoObject&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;iframe src=&amp;quot;https://www.bravotv.com/embeddable-player/11119626&amp;quot; width=&amp;quot;480&amp;quot; height=&amp;quot;270&amp;quot; allowFullScreen&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/iframe&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;" data-ctd-shortcode-id="html" id="html-shortcode-0">Inline HTML</div>

<p>Parenthood is a big theme for the season, as Janet and Jason prepare to welcome their first child and Kristen explores her own fertility at 40. But just because Kristen's grown up a lot since&nbsp;<em>Vanderpump</em>&nbsp;viewers last saw her doesn't mean she's lost the feisty spark that became her trademark on the OG show.</p>

<p>"I feel like sometimes I'm the only one who ever has to own my s**t," she laments after a dramatic montage, which includes her hugging a mystery man... who might just be her ex, Tom Sandoval! The trailer only intensifies from there, ending with a bang thanks to Kristen and Michelle.</p>

<p>"Do you know what you have done to my marriage and my life and my daughter?!?" Michelle shouts at Kristen in an explosive confrontation.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="cdd54716-a782-484c-8d03-a3e5d3c43d02" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"Your husband said on camera that he's gonna divorce you," Kristen fires back, as Jesse warns Luke to get Kristen "in check."</p>

<p>"I didn't sign up for this all over again just to go through it again!" Kristen rattles off as she storms away, referencing her decision to return to reality TV after working on herself in the wake of <a href="https://www.etonline.com/vanderpump-rules-stassi-schroeder-and-kristen-doute-fired-after-past-racist-actions-resurface" rel="">being fired from&nbsp;Bravo&nbsp;in 2020</a>.</p>

<p>"I'd rather be on&nbsp;<em>Vanderpump Rules</em>!" she exclaims.</p>

<p>Expect even more tears and tumult when&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bravotv.com/the-valley" rel=""><em>The Valley</em></a>&nbsp;premieres on Tuesday, March 19, after an all-new episode of&nbsp;<em>Vanderpump Rules.&nbsp;</em>Episodes stream next day on Peacock.&nbsp;Beginning Tuesday, March 26, the series will move to its regular time slot of 9 p.m. ET/PT.</p>

'The Valley' Trailer Puts Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor's Marriage Woes On Full Display (Exclusive)

<p>Nothing brings people together like breaking bread... or, in Maryland, crab legs.</p>

<p>That's exactly the set up for ET's exclusive first look at Sunday's all-new episode of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-real-housewives-of-potomac" rel=""><em>The Real Housewives of Potomac</em></a>, as "friend of" the circle Charrisse Jackson Jordan hosts the women for a crab boil where tensions seemingly boil over, too.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The guest list features most of the main ensemble -- <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/mia-thornton" rel="">Mia Thornton</a>, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/ashley-darby" rel="">Ashley Darby</a>, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/robyn-dixon" rel="">Robyn Dixon</a>, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/candiace-dillard-bassett" rel="">Candiace Dillard Bassett</a>, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/nneka-ihim" rel="">Nneka Ihim</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/gizelle-bryant" rel="">Gizelle Bryant</a> -- and a surprise guest: Jacqueline Blake, who appeared as "friend of" the group in <a href="https://www.etonline.com/the-real-housewives-of-potomac-season-7-trailer-is-here-190287" rel="">season 7</a>. Mia introduced her childhood friend/"sister," Jacqueline, to the ladies the year prior, only for their decades-long friendship to crumble amid allegations of gold-digging and sleeping with married men.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Before Mia arrives, Charrisse downloads the group on her recent get-together with Jacqueline and Nneka, with Nneka sharing the advice Jacqueline gave her about Mia:&nbsp;"Be cautious, beware."</p>

<p>"At the end of the day, I'm not gonna let that woman make me bitter or nasty," Jacqueline tells the ladies. "I'm not holding anger and evilness, because then I would be reciprocating her evil."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Evil is a strong word," Charrisse counters, as the whole conversation is cut together with slo-mo footage of crabs cooking.</p>

<p>"No, it's not when it comes to Mia Thornton," Jacqueline fires back, eliciting a shriek out of Robyn... who, in the same moment, notices Mia has arrived.</p>

<p>"Speak of the devil!" Robyn announces as Mia enters the room, dancing and declaring herself the "main squeeze" of the night.</p>

<p>"Oh, hell no," Jacqueline mumbles to Candiace. Watch it all play out here:</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://youtu.be/04KZN9n8ogo">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Fans will have to tune in to see what happens next, but it may just have been a healing evening for the pair. They seemingly found their way back to friendship, at least judging by social media.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Two things you will never have to chase: True Friends &amp; True Love ♥️ Truly Blessed," Mia and Jacqueline captioned a joint post in January. The month before, Mia shared a reel celebrating Jacqueline's birthday, proclaiming "missed by bae" in the caption.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0-jrSnOc1M/?hl=en">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Something else that may have cleared the way for these two is Mia starting a fresh chapter of life. She <a href="https://www.etonline.com/rhop-star-mia-thornton-confirms-her-separation-from-gordon-thornton-and-a-new-relationship-216295" rel="">announced her separation</a> from her husband, Gordon Thornton, last year. He was centered in the issues Mia and Jacqueline faced in their friendship on season 7. She opened up about the decision to ET at <a href="https://www.etonline.com/event/bravocon" rel="">BravoCon</a> in November.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I talk about this over the season, right? You know it's definitely a moment where it's just, a lot and there's a time where I just need to be me, and in order to be the best version of myself, I need to be set free, OK?" she shared.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Marriages are hard," she said. "We're working through it. We're really just focusing on the kids right now."</p>

<p><a href="https://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-potomac" rel=""><em>The Real Housewives of Potomac</em></a>&nbsp;airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.</p>

'RHOP' Sneak Peek: Mia and Jacqueline Come Face to Face for First Time Since Friendship Fallout (Exclusive)

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/erika-jayne" rel="">Erika Jayne</a> is fine being in the middle of the drama. Well, in the middle of <i>watching</i>&nbsp;the drama.</p>

<p>"Listen, after the last two years, I'm so golden. It was like a dream," she tells ET of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills" rel=""><em>The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills</em></a>&nbsp;season 13 reunion. She found herself smack dab in the middle of <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/dorit-kemsley" rel="">Dorit Kemsley</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kyle-richards" rel="">Kyle Richards</a>' verbal tennis match on the left couch of the all-cast sit-down special with <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/andy-cohen" rel="">Andy Cohen</a>. Part 2 airs Wednesday night.</p>

<p>"I sat back and let everybody else talk," she notes. "I was just like, 'Yeah, you guys go right ahead...'"</p>

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/kyle-richards-implies-she-and-dorit-kemsley-were-never-close-off-camera-in-shocking-rhobh-reunion" rel="">Part 1 saw cracks surface in Kyle and Dorit's once (thought-to-be?) close friendship</a>, with Dorit labeling Kyle "manipulative" for a text message she sent the Beverly Beach designer the night before the taping. In the message, which Dorit shared with Erika backstage, Kyle essentially asked that Dorit keep their private conversations private, and suggested they work on their issues off-camera instead of on the reunion stage. Dorit saw it as a threat, and confronted Kyle about it on set, telling the OG diamond holder she did not fear her and her "punisher" ways.</p>

<p>Erika says, no, she does not see Kyle as manipulative nor a punisher, "but I'm not in their relationship."</p>

<p>"I can only speak from where I see it," she says. "Dorit needs to-- you can watch."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="2b1498de-e488-4812-8cad-2c1da0d66cb2" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Ahead of the taping, Erika appeared on <a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/watch-what-happens-live" rel=""><i>Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen</i></a>&nbsp;and made a comment about wanting to see her co-stars, namely Kyle, "eviscerated" at the reunion, as she had been the prior two years amid the demise of her marriage to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/tom-girardi-erika-jaynes-estranged-husband-charged-with-fraud-over-alleged-18-million-client-198364" rel="">disgraced attorney Tom Girardi</a> and the legal web she's found herself trapped in as a result of his alleged wrongdoings.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"You know what? I did not ask for her to be eviscerated," Erika clarifies. "I said <em>I </em>was eviscerated. So, my question was more towards Andy like, 'Hey, you really put pressure on me these last two years. You're gonna do it to her, too, because this is all we've heard about."</p>

<p>The "this" Erika refers to is Kyle's own marriage troubles. Near the end of filming season 13, Kyle and her husband, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/mauricio-umansky" rel="">Mauricio Umansky</a>, announced they <a href="https://www.etonline.com/kyle-richards-and-mauricio-umansky-separate-after-27-years-of-marriage-207397" rel="">were separated after 26 years of marriage</a>. Kyle's shared a little with the group about going through a "tough" time, but specific details about why she and Mau landed on the path they have remain few and far between. That's lead to a lot of questions from co-stars and viewers alike. Erika offers up an "I don't know" when asked if Kyle's answers at reunion satisfied the 90210 ensemble.</p>

<p>"I think you're gonna have to read it on their faces," she muses.</p>

<p>As for if viewers will be satisfied, Erika says, "It depends on what lens you're looking from."</p>

<p>"Those who say, you know what? It's between she and Mauricio, it's really none of our business and those who say, no, I want more because you brought this other person into the story," she explains. "So I don't really know. I can speak for myself, which is, I'm friends with Kyle. Whatever she wants to tell me is great. It's not my marriage and I'm going to be friends with her whether she's married, divorced, separated or whatever she chooses to do."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="406d76eb-ca12-4070-9fd8-5fd0533b6654" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>That "other person" is <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/morgan-wade" rel="">Morgan Wade</a>, the country singer with whom Kyle's become fast friends over the course of the last year. Their relationship's spawned countless tabloid stories suggesting they're more than friends, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/kyle-richards-on-the-reality-of-separation-from-mauricio-umansky-and-not-hiding-it-on-rhobh-219790" rel="">which Kyle has repeatedly denied</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's hard to live in a place like that, where ... there's so much speculation as to whether they're friends or more than friends," Erika reflects. "And it's like, you know what? Everybody let Kyle tell us who and what-- and what difference does it make, whether you agree or don't believe her? It's her life that <i>you're</i>&nbsp;watching. And so, that's her walk, her journey."</p>

<p>Erika gets a little time in the hot seat herself, with more questions about her ex's legal woes and alleged victims. In sneak peeks, Andy asks Erika to explain meeting with some of those people on camera for ABC News and Hulu's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/watch-rhobh-star-erika-jayne-meet-with-fraud-victims-in-the-housewife-and-the-hustler-2-the-218909" rel=""><em>Housewife and the Hustler 2: The Reckoning</em></a>&nbsp;documentary, and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/crystal-kung-minkoff" rel="">Crystal Kung Minkoff</a> seemingly suggests Tom may be faking his cognitive issues to get out of court (a judge deemed him fit for trial in one case earlier this year).</p>

<p>"For me, there is nothing left to say," Erika says of the matter, acknowledging her actions will do the talking in that area from here on out. Fans will get more clarity on her reality in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/why-erika-jayne-thinks-her-rhobh-castmates-wouldnt-have-survived-her-legal-troubles-exclusive" rel=""><em>Erika Jayne: Bet It All on Blonde</em></a>, the two-part documentary about her return to performing with a Las Vegas residency. It premieres after part 2 of the <i>RHOBH</i>&nbsp;reunion.</p>

<p>"I think that you get to see me completely differently in <em>Bet It All on Blonde</em> than you have seen me on <em><a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/real-housewives" rel="">Housewives</a>,</em>" she teases. "I mean, it's pretty raw. Maybe people will walk away with a different understanding of who I am and not a persona so much, you know? Erika Jayne is a persona. She is an over-the-top character; larger than life, fantasy, love, escape, glitz, glamour and fun. There ain't a whole lot of that in <em>Bet It All on Blonde</em>."&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Her castmates will get to watch it along with the audience. They didn't get a sneak peek at the doc.</p>

<p>"I don't know if any of them have ever seen me quite like that, even though we know each other," she says. "People show up as different version of themselves all the time. Who knows what they'll think."</p>

<p>Next week, the <em>RHOBH</em>&nbsp;reunion concludes and Erika admits "it was a little unusual the way we ended."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I can only speak for myself, I felt completely OK," she reiterates. "I felt like I said everything I needed to say, others may not have had the chance."</p>

'RHOBH' Reunion: Erika Jayne on If Kyle Richards Was 'Eviscerated' and How Fans Will React to What She Shares

<p>Things are not good as gold for <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/scheana-shay" rel="">Scheana Shay</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/tom-sandoval" rel="">Tom Sandoval</a>.</p>

<p>ET has your exclusive first look at Tuesday's all-new episode of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/vanderpump-rules" rel=""><em>Vanderpump Rules</em></a>, which picks up with the crew in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Sandoval's put together a guided meditation exercise for his (mostly estranged) friends -- bestie <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/tom-schwartz" rel="">Tom Schwartz</a>, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/lala-kent" rel="">Lala Kent</a>, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/james-kennedy" rel="">James Kennedy</a>, Ally Lewber, Scheana and her husband, Brock Davies -- at their rental house.</p>

<p>It's a way for them all to, hopefully, begin to move forward from the aftermath of Scandoval, the scandal that played out starting in March of last year, when it came to light Sandoval had carried on an affair with then-castmate <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/rachel-leviss" rel="">Rachel (née Raquel) Leviss</a> behind the back of his partner of nearly a decade, Scheana's BFF&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/ariana-madix" rel="">Ariana Madix</a>. Ariana and her business partner, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/katie-maloney" rel="">Katie Maloney</a>, opted out of joining the retreat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"This practice here is to help put yourself back together so you feel whole," the instructor tells the group, asking them to partner up with whomever is seated next to them for the next segment of their class. For Scheana, that means Sandoval; Brock instead joins couple James and Ally to form a trio, despite Scheana's ask that he be a tripod with her and Sandoval.</p>

<p>"This is the longest I've ever gone in 15 years of friendship with Sandoval in not speaking to him or seeing him," Scheana shares in a confessional. He was her original connection to the group when&nbsp;<em>Vanderpump Rules&nbsp;</em>premiered in 2013.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I'm still holding onto anger, resentment and hatred inside of me," she adds. "So I'm not ready to f**king meditate and breathe together. Like, no, no, no."</p>

<p>Each of the groups sits back to back as the instructor narrates the purpose of the practice.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"So right now, talk to the people behind you and just kind of figure out what they need," she says. "Do you need me to back off? Do you need more pressure?"</p>

<p>Murmurs of feeling "good" and "balanced" come from the other pairings, while Scheana appears stiff against Sandoval.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's fine," Scheana curtly repeats when Sandoval checks in on her. Watch the awkward encounter play out here:&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://youtu.be/I5A-0ak5qu8">&nbsp;</div>

<p>"I don't want anybody to hold back," the instructor continues. "If you're feeling like you're just saying, yes, you're OK, because you're used to saying that in your life, or you're used to walking on eggshells around another person, this is when you practice some assertiveness and you tell them that you actually..."</p>

<p>Scheana wipes away a tear and cuts off the instructor, announcing she's "not OK" as she pulls away from Sandoval's back.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I just need a minute, I'm sorry," Scheana says through tears as she storms off into the house, declaring, "I still f**king hate you."&nbsp;</p>

<p>It's not a shock that Scheana felt this way in the moment. At the season 11 premiere party in January, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/media/videos/vanderpump-rules-scheana-shay-addresses-tom-schwartz-hookup-speculation-exclusive" rel="">she told ET</a> it took shooting the entire season for her to get what she needed out of filming and, seemingly, Sandoval.</p>

<p>"You'll see &nbsp;that whole progression and everything, but it was really difficult," she teased. "It was honestly the most difficult season I've ever filmed. A lot of tears, a lot of finger guns and yelling. I think this was honestly the most I've ever been in a super-tease because I raised my voice for the first time in a long time, several times."</p>

<p>"It was a long season to get to where everyone is," she said. "At the end of the day, we're on the show together, we have a lot of mutual friends we are in a lot of the same places, but it's never going to be the same."</p>

'Vanderpump Rules' Sneak Peek: Scheana Shay Storms Out of Healing Moment With Tom Sandoval (Exclusive)

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/below-deck" rel=""><i>Below Deck</i></a>&nbsp;newcomer <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/barbie-pascual" rel="">Barbie Pascual</a> had "no idea" chief steward <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/fraser-olender" rel="">Fraser Olender</a> attempted to fire her just two charters into <a href="https://www.etonline.com/below-deck-season-11-premiere-date-revealed-watch-the-new-teaser-214206" rel="">season 11</a>.</p>

<p>"When I watched it back, I was like, 'Really? You're gonna do me like that?'" the stewardess, 29, shares with ET over video chat. "You didn't even give me a chance to change!"</p>

<p>After just about a week onboard motor yacht St. David, Fraser took his complaints about Barbie to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/latest/people/kerry-titheradge" rel="">Captain Kerry Titheradge</a>, saying he'd reached his saturation point when it came to her sass. Kerry checked Fraser, though, and asked if Barbie was getting her work done. The answer was 'yes,' and therefore, Kerry prescribed an attitude adjustment request as Fraser's first line of defense.</p>

<p>"I come off very, very harsh," Barbie confesses. "I don't realize how I come off, and I don't think many people do. I think&nbsp; this opportunity to watch yourself back and be like, whoa! Watching yourself from the third person? It's like... oh, girl!"</p>

<p>Barbie says she's spent the four weeks&nbsp;<em>Below Deck</em>'s been airing texting Fraser and fellow stewardess Cat&nbsp;Baugh apologies for how she came across to them in the early days of filming. She reviews her behavior as "tragic," but notes she started working to improve it after Fraser called her out for "being a b***h to" him.</p>

<p>"I think it plays out pretty well... I don't know," she laments. "I left the boat thinking so many things, and now I'm watching, and it's like... not the way I thought."</p>

<p>"You're in store [to see] me trying so hard to be liked, even though my personality is so not likable by these specific people," she shares. "You're gonna see me constantly try to get [Fraser's] approval. Try constantly. Try, try, try, try, but I'm hitting a lot of walls."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="0e0bfe5d-4f60-41c9-9b48-52c77a37bd24" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>The season is building to an explosive moment with Barbie slamming around her cabin, packing her bags, and shouting, "You guys wanted to drive me bats**t crazy? You win!"</p>

<p>"You're watching the buildup as we go," she previews. "You're seeing [Fraser] coddle Cat. You're seeing him come up to me like, 'Bring it or go home...' you know? You're seeing the different pressures, and that just keeps building and building and building and I'm only human."</p>

<p>Barbie won't reveal if she stays or goes -- fans will have to keep watching -- but does tease that season 11 lives up to the franchise's history of unexpected exits.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Oh, big time!" she laughs. "The people you think are gonna get fired are not, and the people you don't think are... and then maybe, I don't know. It's a whole mess."</p>

<p>Barbie says she became Cat's cheerleader after Fraser called out her treatment of her fellow stew, but seeing what she saw as a double standard between them still stung, especially as green stew Cat struggled to improve her skills.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"This setting was too much for her," Barbie reviews. "[And] I feel like [Fraser] being so cautious of her feelings was in a way not cautious of mine."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It was like, OK why so hard on me?" she adds. "It must be my personality, you know? Must be my strong personality. When people are strong, other people don't really feel bad for them, 'cause they think that you can just take everything, but even though I'm strong, like, I can't take everything, and I actually do fall apart often, believe it or not."</p>

<p>In real time, Barbie says she and Fraser have made amends and she now considers him a close friend, regularly recapping the goings-on of the show by phone. She's fine with Cat, but surprisingly not great with the interior team's other member, self-proclaimed "vampire and witch" Xandi Olivier.&nbsp;</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="ee46fbc6-f4fd-4a90-b93e-4c5758aaf4dd" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"Not a fan," Barbie offers when pressed about Xandi, staying mum on the details of their to-be-revealed fallout. There's a lot of season left to watch, including the evolving romantic entanglements of the crew. After first expressing interest in bosun Jared Woodin, Barbie got the "ick" from his "cheesy pick-up lines." She then set&nbsp;her sights on deckhand Kyle&nbsp;Stillie.</p>

<p>"Kyle felt like a safe zone," she shares. "Kyle was just nice... He jokes, he's easygoing. Like, I really got along with everybody on the deck team. I had such problems with my interior that every time I saw a deck member, anybody -- [bunkmate Sunny Marquis]&nbsp;-- anybody that worked on deck, I was like, 'Hey, guys!'"&nbsp;</p>

<p>"And he's hot, too," she adds of the Scottish-born yachtie. "It was easy to look at. His accent he said turns girls on, but did not do it for me. I had no idea what he was saying. ...&nbsp;I wish he walked around with subtitles."</p>

<p>Barbie's and Kyle's romance made it into the season 11 trailer thanks to Fraser, who commented that they were "shagging like dogs." It's not a comment Barbie appreciates.</p>

<p>"I hate that he said that," she groans. "I think that's degrading for a woman... I had a huge problem with that."</p>

<p>As for other trailer hints, like that maybe there's a love triangle for Barbie, Sunny and lead deckhand Ben&nbsp;Willoughby, Barbie's more on board.</p>

<p>"I guess we're gonna have to tune into that," she smiles. "I do love Ben, and I have seen Ben after the show. I'll tease that."</p>

<p>Becoming a Bravo-lebrity via&nbsp;<em>Below Deck</em>&nbsp;is a bit of a dream come true for Barbie, a longtime <a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/real-housewives" rel=""><i>Real Housewives</i></a>&nbsp;fan. So, imagine her shock when&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-real-housewives-of-new-york-city" rel=""><em>The Real Housewives of New York City</em></a>&nbsp;OG <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jill-zarin" rel="">Jill Zarin</a> stepped aboard as a guest.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="ba13134f-ea7c-46c8-85bc-aec78a92975c" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"I was like, 'Jill!' And she was like, 'Do we know each other?'" Barbie recalls. "I know everything about Jill, so I was so excited to have Jill on board and&nbsp; she was really high maintenance, but so am I, and she's a Housewife, what do we expect?"</p>

<p>"She was fabulous. I loved her," she adds.</p>

<p>While Barbie's dream (sort-of) remains becoming a Housewife in her own right, she's happy with her&nbsp;<em>Below Deck</em>&nbsp;gig and excited for the future. She's set her sights on becoming the second coming of longtime chief stew and fan-favorite <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kate-chastain" rel="">Kate Chastain</a>.</p>

<p>"I would love to be chief stew," she says. "I would actually like to do another season with Fraser first. That would be ideal. I'd like to do another season with Fraser, because now we're friends, and so, how fun it would be to not be [butting heads]? I'm sure we would butt anyway, but how fun it would be to go back as friends?"</p>

<p><em><a href="https://www.bravotv.com/below-deck" rel="">Below Deck</a>&nbsp;</em>airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo with episodes streaming next day on Peacock.</p>

'Below Deck's Barbie Pascual Reacts to Fraser Olender Wanting to Fire Her Ahead of Breaking Point Meltdown

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/annemarie-wiley" rel="">Annemarie Wiley</a>&nbsp;is&nbsp;done talking about esophageal issues, at least in social settings.</p>

<p>"I wish there had been zero conversations about the e-word," the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills" rel=""><em>Real Housewives of Beverly Hills</em></a>&nbsp;rookie, 40, confesses to ET. "I never want to hear that word again."</p>

<p>The nurse anesthetist is wrapping up her debut run with the three-part reunion, which starts airing on Wednesday. For Annemarie, season 13 largely centered around her accidental investigation into co-star <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/sutton-stracke" rel="">Sutton Stracke</a>'s narrow esophagus, ultimately leading to a fiery feud with <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/crystal-kung-minkoff" rel="">Crystal Kung Minkoff</a>. As Annemarie spitballed theories behind Sutton's medical condition, the conversation turned toward a possible eating disorder. On the show, it appeared as if Annemarie was the one to mention this first, but she claimed on camera that it was Crystal who floated the idea. Now, she says, that's not really what happened, either, and that the situation was more nuanced.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"That conversation happened because Crystal asked a question about an eating disorder, and I was answering the question about an eating disorder," she explains. "Neither Crystal nor myself accused Sutton of having an eating disorder."</p>

<p>Annemarie describes it all as a "miscommunication," one that didn't sit lightly with Crystal. She's shared <a href="https://www.etonline.com/crystal-kung-minkoff-explains-unexpected-reason-she-stays-quiet-during-rhobh-drama-exclusive-217128" rel="">her own battle with bulimia</a> over the course of her three seasons on&nbsp;<em>RHOBH</em>, and been adamant she would never speculate about someone else struggling with an ED. <a href="https://www.etonline.com/rhobhs-crystal-kung-minkoff-breaks-down-the-annemarie-wiley-drama-and-whats-to-come-at-reunion" rel="">Crystal maintains</a> it was Annemarie who brought up the subject and pinned it on Crystal, for which, she says, she's still not received an apology. It's all unpacked at reunion.</p>

<p>"I explained that I was never accusing Crystal of having said that," Annemarie offers. "When I watched it back, I was wondering why Crystal was so mad. I didn't even know that she thought that I was accusing her of saying that Sutton had an eating disorder, that wasn't even clear to me. So, once I understood that that was the way it was perceived by Crystal, that's why I explained that I wasn't saying, 'You said it...' nor did I say it. It was a discussion we were both having."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="48d5b289-88e3-4073-b7a8-a0a31399071c" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"I will apologize if I’ve hurt someone’s feelings, 'cause I will always do that, but that wasn't my intention of doing it," she adds. "But if she needs an apology from me, I’m not above doing that."&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>It seems safe to say these two did not resolve their issues at the all-cast sit-down taping.</p>

<p>"I thought after the finale that we were in a better place, because I was ready to move forward and put everything behind me," Annemarie shares. "I don't like to harbor those ill feelings, or that resentment towards anyone, you know? And then you're going to see some more things come up from her at the reunion. I don't think she's ready to let things go, so I feel like, at this point, I need to just you know follow her lead and if she wants things to move forward, and we can get to a better and lighter and more fun place, then I'm all for it, but I think she's still has some things that she's kind of working through."</p>

<p>Part of Annemarie's beef with Crystal lies in her feeling that Crystal didn't respect her work as a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA). Crystal claims Annemarie misrepresented herself as an anesthesiologist, a doctor rather than a nurse, when they first met.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It is very disrespectful to accuse someone of title misrepresentation when it's because you don't understand what the title means, or when you fabricate something, so that you have something to talk about especially when you're talking about someone’s profession that they worked very hard to obtain those degrees and obtain those licenses," Annemarie fires back. "That is very disrespectful."</p>

<p>"The title thing happens a lot of the time because people have either never heard of CRNAs before, or they don't know what we do," she says. "I mean a lot of times I get mistaken for doing aesthetics because people have never heard of a certified registered nurse anesthesiologist, and in Crystal's defense, I don't think her wrongfully accusing me of title misrepresentation, I don't think she understood that it would snowball into what it did."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CjD44MPLPQM/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Annemarie says there's a sort-of "turf war" between anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists in the workplace, a fight she deals with every day on the job. That's where Annemarie's heated feelings came from during her explosive fight with Crystal at the Homeless Not Toothless charity gala, she says. On top of that, she also claims Crystal was being two-faced.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Crystal and I had met prior to filming, and she was so sweet and she was so helpful," Annemarie notes. "She was really different off-camera than she was on camera."</p>

<p>"I just really felt like she was just stabbing me in the back repeatedly," she continues. "We would be texting like, 'What are you wearing tonight? What are you gonna wear to this?' Like, even on the way to my first night meeting the ladies at [<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kyle-richards" rel="">Kyle Richard</a>'s] house, we were texting from outside the car, right? And then when I see everything play out and she says [in a confessional], 'Oh, that b***h is nosy...' and I'm like, we were just texting! Why are you calling me nosy now?"</p>

<p>Looking back, Annemarie says she feels as if Crystal "took advantage" of her as the newbie, which is why she called her out on the cast trip to Spain for supposedly talking trash about the cast off-camera to Annemarie.</p>

<p>"Funny thing is, she actually did admit it later on," Annemarie says, claiming Crystal owned up to labeling the ensemble "fake socialites, shallow and uneducated" off-camera. Crystal maintains she did not say these things, and that Annemarie twisted her words.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>"She did admit it to the ladies," Annemarie doubles down. "When she said that about the ladies, they were in a bad place and that's what led her to say that to me and she apologized."</p>

<p>During their showdown in Spain, Annemarie requested Crystal thank her for making Crystal relevant. She still stands by that ask.</p>

<p>"What was Crystal talking about before I came in midseason, right?" she muses. "She wasn't talking about too much, and I think that she's kind of gotten a pass for not having too much going on, and so when I entered the show, she kind of saw that as an opportunity to create some drama for herself and create something that she could really talk about."</p>

<p>"I mean, people are talking about her a lot now, right?" she quips, going on to allege Crystal "told me" she purposefully took shots at Annemarie to secure screen time.</p>

<p>She doubled down on that in a new Instagram post, writing, "Do not backstab someone, then admit to them off-camera that you lied about them for a storyline, then cry on their shoulder behind closed doors about keeping up the lie and the fighting stressing you out and causing your blood pressure to elevate, then extend an olive branch on-camera, only to not let it go and backstab them once again."</p>

<p>Viewers won't get a Homeless Not Toothless fight sequel at reunion; Annemarie says she kept her cool during the taping.</p>

<p>"I feel like I got all my points out," she says. "I said all my truths. I feel like I stayed calm the entire time, I wasn't going to get into any back-and-forth arguments with anyone. I was like, when it's my turn to talk, let me know when they're done and I will continue, you know? So I felt good."</p>

<p>The same might not be said for her castmates, though. She previews "a lot of surprises," even for some of the ensemble, as Kyle faces questioning about the state of her estranged marriage and rumors surrounding a possible romantic entanglement with country singer <a href="http://etonline.com/people/morgan-wade" rel="">Morgan Wade</a> (which Kyle's previously denied).</p>

<p>"Hopefully everyone is satisfied with what she provided," Annemarie says. "I'm just praying for her, and I'm praying for her family and praying for her happiness."</p>

<p>There's also Sutton's mystery medical event; <a href="https://www.etonline.com/kyle-richards-asked-by-andy-cohen-if-she-could-see-herself-with-morgan-wade-in-rhobh-reunion" rel="">the reunion trailer</a> ends with a chaotic moment, as Sutton appears to convulse onstage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It is a surprising moment," Annemarie previews. "It's just another one of those moments that reminds you to keep things in perspective."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="3ded5079-b063-4fca-a307-2c544082f36c" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>Annemarie's got a lot of perspective after her freshman run, after facing intense criticism from viewers online.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I would love to be able to say, 'Oh, it doesn't bother me at all, it's fine,' but it does," she admits. "I pride myself on being such a kind and inclusive person, and so for people not to you know really have a sense of who I am and what I stand for, and then to be receiving backlash from it? That's why it's so hard, 'cause it's like, if people are judging me on me, I can take that. But when I feel like they're not, then that's where it gets really hard."</p>

<p>Annemarie, who's married to former NFL player Marcellus Wiley and a mom to four kids, didn't get much personal story on the show, having joined production nearly halfway through filming. That led to a lot of internet speculation about her character.</p>

<p>"I am a very strong, independent woman, and I was raised to have my own beliefs and my own opinions," she counters. "I just want to show people my fun side. I just want to have a good time. Show people who I am."</p>

<p>Should she return for season 14, Annemarie hopes to open up more about her personal struggles. She says a lot was unfolding behind the scenes on season 13 that didn't make it to air.</p>

<p>"My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, and she passed three months later," she reveals. "I was dealing with adoption trauma, which I opened up to [<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/dorit-kemsley" rel="">Dorit Kemsley</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/erika-jayne" rel="">Erika Jayne</a>] when we were in Spain."</p>

<p>"There were a lot of things that people didn't see about me, and they didn't understand about my life," she adds. "I started this and agreed to do this because I want people to be able to relate to me. I want people to find something in myself, whether it's as a mom of four, as a professional, as a former athlete, as someone who was adopted, as someone that's biracial -- whatever it is, I want people to relate to me, and I want to be able to show people that you're not alone. There's somebody out there that's like you."</p>
