When it came to 'The Real Housewives of Potomac' Season 8, Robyn Dixon and Juan Dixon struggled to explain Juan's strange behavior in hotels and laundromats with ladies who weren't Robyn. They fared even worse when attempting to clear it up at the reunion.

When Andy Cohen asked Robyn about Juan on this week's 'RHOP' Season 8 Reunion Part 1, she stated that she believed he was supportive of her this season. Since Juan lost his job, viewers have seen him appear more frequently on the show than in prior seasons.

Nonetheless, she stated that he did not re-watch the entire show. He also failed to show up for the reunion, which baffled everyone.

It's been four seasons since Juan last attended a reunion. Her co-stars believe that, with his wife in the spotlight, he will take a break from applying for jobs to attend the reunion. Instead, Robyn stated that he had "declined" to come.

Wendy Osefo had the finest viewpoint on the situation. She said that Juan should have known that his wife would be targeted during the reunion due to his activities. Wendy clarified, “The least he can do as your husband is stand behind you and say, 'Baby, you don’t have to take all the bullets. I can take some too.'”

However, Robyn hasn't changed her version of what happened, and she stands firm in her belief in her guy. The other women said they didn't trust Juan's account, but who cares? Mia Thornton stated that as Robyn's friends, they must take whatever she gives them.

'American Idol' Season 22 judge Katy Perry recently played a trick, making Odell Bunton Jr believe he was eliminated during the Showstopper round.

The Platinum Ticket winner had an emotional day as he admitted to the judges, "We got a total of 12 people living in a hotel room. Just two beds and a little kitchen area."

Odell tearfully shared his struggle before Katy said, "You know, Odell, it's a lot of pressure, having a platinum ticket. I don't even know what the pressure is having 12 people under one roof."

She added, "[But] we have to make decisions that are hard. Even when life is hard. Unfortunately, this is as far we can take you."

Odell tried to control his emotions when Katy announced that he would compete in Disney Week. The aspiring singer said, "Oh God," before busting into tears and hiding his face with his hand to sob.
