However, we have compiled some of the shocking moments and most buzz-worthy moments from this week which bagged the Top Reality TV Moments status.
Leah Kateb's future on 'Love Island USA' at risk amid fallout with Islanders
Leah Kateb’s future on 'Love Island USA' is hanging by a thread amid a significant fallout with the other islanders. Following the dramatic elimination of Andrea Carmona, Leah has found herself in hot water with multiple contestants, raising serious doubts about her position in the villa.
The trouble began when Leah was seen talking to Rob Rausch shortly after Andrea’s exit. To be on his good books, Leah claim to Rob that she took a "backseat" in the decision to eliminate Andrea and this didn't sit well with many. Liv Walker, in particular, was furious. “Own your own f*****g actions,” Liv lashed out during a heated confrontation, accusing Leah of dishonesty and manipulation.
Following this, Rob, feeling betrayed by Leah’s actions and statements, turned against her as well. He was seen talking to the men of the villa, branding Leah as a liar and manipulator. “Deny, deny, deny, lie, lie, lie,” Rob said furiously.
With the recoupling approaching, Leah’s position in the villa is precarious. Having already dumped Connor for a second chance with Rob during a dance floor task, her actions have isolated her from potential allies too. Leah’s ties with Liv and Kaylor are frayed, and Rob’s public accusations have left her vulnerable. As tensions remain high, Leah’s fate on 'Love Island USA' is more uncertain than ever.
Danielle Cabral throws drink on 'RHONJ' costar Jennifer Aydin after being shoved at Tulum-themed backyard party
Following Jennifer Aydin's shove, Danielle Cabral tossed a drink at her on the June 23 Bravo episode of 'RHONJ'. In the 'Trouble In Tulum' Episode of Season 14, Teresa Giudice hosted a party with a Tulum theme in her garden. As a result of their violent conflict, Danielle and Jennifer were suspended. Prior to the celebration, Jennifer confided in her husband, Bill Aydin, about her "disappointment" and "frustration" with Danielle, raising doubts about her character.
At the party, Jennifer informed Danielle about "something that turned me off," but she was hesitant to discuss it until Danielle prodded her to do so. She suddenly remembered that Marissa, Danielle's hair extensions representative, had requested her to serve as a model for an upcoming master class.
Jennifer stated that Danielle contacted her and told her that neither of them would be paid and that they would be modeling hair extensions for Marissa to sell on her website. Jennifer admitted in a confessional that she couldn't be friends with someone who sabotages their own people.
They screamed back and forth over what was said, getting into each other's faces. "You're a f***ing dirtbag," Jennifer snarled before pushing Danielle. Danielle replied instantly to being pushed by taking Jennifer's drink and throwing it over her face. Security and Danielle's husband, Nate Cabral, raced in to separate them, as everyone watched in horror.
Jennifer said that Danielle's presence in her personal space was an "act of aggression." Danielle concluded that Jennifer must be "miserable in her life," and Jennifer acknowledged that Danielle was furious.
'AGT' judge Howie Mandel hits golden buzzer for Brent Street
Howie Mandel, a judge on 'America's Got Talent' Season 19, was impressed by a dance troupe's performance and used his Golden Buzzer to send them straight to the live performances. A dance group is truly successful when all individual elements come together seamlessly to create an impressive performance, as demonstrated by this ensemble on 'AGT' with a unique twist.
Brent Street initially appeared on 'AGT' as a solo act, but it became clear once he started performing that he was actually part of a group with a strong bond. Howie exclaimed that the group was amazing and genuinely meant it. He awarded them with the Golden Buzzer and added his own unexpected twist.
It may have been because he was impressed by the dancers' unpredictable movements. When it was Howie's time to give feedback on the performance, he was no longer in his seat. The other Judges asked where Howie was, and he surprised them by suddenly standing up from behind the table, raising his hand, and pressing the buzzer.
'RHODubai' Season 2 star Lesa Milan calls Taleen Marie a B***h
'RHODubai' Season 2 star Chanel Ayan recently hosted a queens' dinner party, which notably ended with a surprising exchange. During the latest episode, Taleen pulled out her friend Caroline Stanbury and told her how Sergio brought up some things to her husband.
Lesa Milan was notably offended by Taleen and Caroline's secret conversation. However, when Taleen questioned why Lesa cared so much about the situation, Lesa yelled, "B***h, I've moved on." Lesa then went on to use the word b***h four times on Taleen, and she thought it was weird that Taleen pulled Caroline aside knowing that the group is so divided.
'MasterChef: Generations' contestant Si eliminated during mystery challenge
'MasterChef: Generations' Season 14 faced their first cooking test which was a mystery box challenge. The contestant had to cook a special dish which reminded them of their childhood. However, Si Envytnc prepared Vietnamese Sweet & Sour Soup with Lobster, Scallion Puree, Yuzu & Coconut Milk Broth, and Rice and the judges didn't loved the dish.
The Fox Show judges brutally criticized Si's dish and compared it with 'dishwater'. Joe Bastianich noted, "You took probably some good techniques and ideas and flavors in your mind as a child's eye and then you wound up ruining it." The judges ultimately decided to send Si home.
