A Fan Favorite Left ‘The Voice’; Joan Vassos Made Her Final Choice on ‘The Golden Bachelorette’ — and More

Hello, reality TV fans! Can I invite you to chat? We have a lot to discuss this week thanks to a Golden Single finale, two Housewife meltdowns and a mysterious exit on The voice. Let’s dig.

As fierce as the competition can be, it’s not often The voice really becomes dramatic. But this week was an exception. Why did fan-favorite country crooner Tanner Frick leave without warning?

What happened: Frick’s deep voice did a four-chair turn less than a minute into his blind audition. But this week, host Carson Daly said he left and offered no other explanation. (Weekly Entertainment)

What people say: Tanner hinted at his motivation on TikTok, where he teased a new song called “Lonesome Road” with the lyrics “I guess I’m a lone wolf and a wanderer / Nobody wants me anyway.” (Billboard)

My hot take: It’s obvious, right? It looks like Tanner saw an opportunity to pull a Benson Boone and launch his music career early. Carpe diem, I say! (We every week)

“Dancing with the Stars”

DWTS reached a major milestone this week with its 500th episode, and as luck would have it, the judges gave singer-actress Chandler Kinney the first perfect scores of the season. Meanwhile, NBA alum Dwight Howard finally returned home. (Yahoo Entertainment/GMA)

‘Survivor’

In Week 9, Genevieve proved that Canadians aren’t always so nice by masterminding Sol’s disappearance. So much for Sol’s secret agents, huh? Sol put it best in his exit interview: “They got my ass. » (Entertainment Weekly/GoldDerby)

‘Golden Single’

Joan chose Chock in the finale, leaving Guy to cry in the rain. Its season has been sweet, if a little drama-starved, and I especially hope that Golden alums Susan and Jack met after sitting in the audience together this week. (Yahoo Entertainment)

‘RHONY’

For a second, it seemed like some real, genuine drama had seeped into this season of snoozefest when rumors swirled this week about Rebecca Minkoff’s pregnancy. Alas, it was just a prank. Ugh. As expected, fans are not happy. (BuzzFeed)

‘RHOSLC’

The title of the episode says it all: “Revenge is best served in coaching.” Bronwyn had a rare stroke of comic genius by booking Lisa on a 65-minute coach flight – thus placing a shiny red cherry on top of Lisa’s already fantastic crisis. (Bravo/Daily Beast)

The world of Housewives was positively buzzing this week, so naturally, I reached out to one of my favorite Bravo experts — Vox culture reporter Kyndall Cunningham — for a quick chat.

Kyndall: I really think Stacey is the MVP. She has the funniest facial expressions and the best confessionals. Plus, she’s dating a sketchy actor who happens to be single, and it’s very fascinating!

Kyndall: I loved seeing Jenn stand up to Tamra after everything she had done to her over the past two seasons. It’s rare that you have housewives who are super nice but can also read someone for dirt when the time is right.

Kyndall: It definitely seems more improvised than other shows. These women are very prepared and studied in Housewives-isms. Luckily, they’re so funny that it works most of the time.

3⃣ The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Ready to add more housewives to your list? RHOBH returns to Bravo for Season 14 Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET. Buckle up, because it looks like Kyle and Dorit are still arguing after that fiery season 13 reunion. (Bravo/RealityTea)

Trivial answer: He might have finished seventh Survivor: The Australian Outbackbut last week, Nick Brown was elected to become Washington state’s first black attorney general.

About reality: It’s hard to keep up when there’s so much great reality TV. Luckily, entertainment reporter Laura Bradley is an expert at staying on top of everything. Every Saturday morning, she shares a recap of what happened on the week’s major shows. Register.
