‘Love is Blind’ Houston was somehow even messier than what was shown

This is just a good goose who loves her dog (whose job it is to protect the goats that she is protecting him from).

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Congratulations to the writers for another win: Fox will air the Writing in a Variety Series category during the Emmys broadcast. 

Pat McAfee, on whose podcast it was that Aaron Rodgers made the comments about Jimmy Kimmel being on the Epstein list, IS REALLY SORRY THAT HAPPENED, YOU GUYS, AND PLEASE DON’T FIRE HIM, DISNEY! It’ll be interesting to see if Rodgers continues being a recurring guest after this stunt.

Love is Blind is being sued again, this time by Renee Poche, a contestant who says the show essentially kidnapped her, and then pushed her into a showmance with a homeless, jobless, violent drug user. When the show cut her story from the season, she made some public remarks about what happened. In return, the producers initiated private arbitration against her for violating her nondisclosure agreement, seeking $4 million. She made $8,000 filming the series. So, she’s suing. “The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles superior court, is seeking to nullify Poche’s contract and is claiming intentional infliction of emotional distress along with violations of various California labor and civic codes.”

Here’s the thing: this was on season five, the one filmed here in Houston. I remember Poche being a part of the early episodes, but then she just sort of disappeared. She reportedly got engaged in the pods; she went wedding dress shopping, and then she just … wasn’t on the show anymore. People noticed, and asked questions, and she answered. I suspect the producers worried they could get sued by the ex-fiance if she said too much and wanted to shut her down (and put the fear of lawyers in other contestants). But considering the condition in which they allegedly treat their contestants, I’m not sure that was their best move. Stay tuned, because this could get messy.

Oh please oh please oh please oh please …

Speaking of Jesse Watters, he and Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw don’t like each other. LET THE GIRLIES FIGHT.

ABC is celebrating General Hospital’s 60th anniversary with a special tonight (see below in DATES), so here’s what happened in the very first episode, back in 1963.

WELL THAT GOT DARK PRETTY FAST:

I don’t watch Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, but maybe I should be catching up with it because all of this sounds completely insane.

Andy Cohen recently revealed he was scammed out of roughly $100,000 by fraudsters pretending to be his bank, and I have to say, their methods are much more sophisticated than you might be aware of. Be careful out there, and remember — if you get a call from your “bank,” call the bank yourself to confirm it before giving over any information.
