We can’t cover every news story ourselves. Fortunately, there are a lot of great sources for reality TV news and gossip. Check out these links from some of our favorite sites in the February 27 edition of Thursday Morning Tea.

Whether you agree with the results or not, the people have spoken. The People’s Choice Awards went down on November 10 and there were some big winners in the reality TV categories. And even the people who didn’t win showed up to get some press enjoy the party.
I’m not gonna lie, I wish I got an invite because there were cast members from some of my favorite shows in attendance and I would just love to see them all interact. Real Housewives, Vanderpump Rules, The Bachelor, and Keeping Up With the Kardashians cast members showed up for the award show.
The first season of the Temptation Island reboot was a hit. So, of course, the show is coming back for round 2! Plenty of reality TV stars got together to celebrate at the Temptation Island Season 2 premiere.
White Kanye himself, Vanderpump Rules star James Kennedy DJ’ed the party. His girlfriend Raquel Leviss was also on hand to support. Imagine if those two were actually a part of the Temptation Island cast. That would be some must-see TV. The Bella Twins, Nikki and Brie Bella also hopped in the DJ booth at the event. Season 1 couple Shari Ligons and Javen Butler showed up to support Season 2. They are the only couple from the first season that is actually still together. They got engaged during the finale. Season 1’s Kaci Campbell was also there among the Real Housewives, members of Bachelor nation, and other reality TV stars. It is probably such a relief for Kaci to not be a part of the drama this time around. She really went through it last season.
Vanderpump Rules fans have watched Scheana Marie make out with Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise alum Robby Hayes on the show. And in paparazzi photos. She was even seen with a different Bachelor Nation star pretty recently.
Previously, Ramona Singer said that she would love to have the lead role on The Bachelorette. She was (probably) joking, but I know it would be must-watch TV. However, former Bachelorette star Andi Dorfman has a different Real Housewives of New York star in mind to take on the task.
Last season, Vanderpump Rules fans saw a post-Rob Scheana Marie playing the field. Sort of. She went on a date with Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise alum Robby Hayes. But, ultimately, she had her sights set on Adam Spott. She even got him a penguin, but he wasn’t moved by the gesture. However, in his defense, he was mad at Scheana for having sex with a male model. In her defense, Scheana and Adam were not a couple. They were just “best friends,” even though Scheana begged him to say “I love you” during the Season 7 finale.
Now, Scheana is done with Adam, or so she says. Recently, she was spotted making out with Robby. Again. But after that, she was spotted with another member of Bachelor Nation. Is Scheana becoming the real-life Bachelorette by dating all of the guys in front of paparazzi that she called?
Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Marie may be technically single, but she always seems to return to a few favorite guys. Last season, Pump Rules fans watched Scheana “date” Adam Spott. Scheana Marie went out with, and mad out with, Bachelorette and Bachelor In Paradise star Robby Hayes. Robby, who was the runner-up on JoJo Fletcher’s season, was also friends with Adam. Because of course, he was!
Her attempt to make Adam jealous backfired, but Scheana Marie and Robby continued their romance friendship. In May, they even vacationed in Hawaii together, and you know that Scheana Marie posted all about it on social media.
There are very few things in this life that I am 100% certain about. I am 100% certain that if I am running late, there will be traffic. I am 100% certain that when I’m “not drinking tonight,” I will have consumed 10 tequila shots by 9 pm. I am also 100% certain that Scheana Marie involves herself in very public, and messy, romantic entanglements for dramatic purposes.
First, there was poor Mike Shay. Scheana and Mike had a marriage that was over before it really even begun. But the blessed union put her front and center on Vanderpump Rules for the majority of that season, and that’s all that really matters. I wonder if Scheana is bitter about the fact that Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor’s wedding was an over-the-top extravaganza paid for by sponsored Instagram posts, and all Scheana got was a crop-top wedding dress and a bunch of bedazzled silk roses? After her divorce from Mike, she moved on to Rob Valletta, whose name she mentioned at every. Possible. Opportunity. Then, last season, she badgered poor Adam Spott into “dating” her, and immediately tried to make him jealous by making out with Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise-alum, Adam’s friend, Robby Hayes.
Sometimes it’s fun to go to a wedding. Other times, it just feels like an un-fun obligation to attend. Just imagine the dance floor at a wedding with Dancing With the Stars cast members. That has to be a fun time, right?
Dancing With the Stars pro Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy made it officially official. They tied the knot on Saturday, April 13.
