‘MasterChef’ judge Joe Bastianich gets eliminated from 'The Masked Singer' Season 11
In the third episode of 'The Masked Singer' Season 11, the person behind the Spaghetti and Meatballs mask was revealed to be Joe Bastianich, a 'MasterChef' judge and Restaurateur.
It was a pleasant surprise that Joe Bastianich, who was featured on 'Billy Joel Night', was actually friends with the musician Billy Joel. This unexpected connection made the evening even more exciting and memorable.
During the competition, Spaghetti and Meatballs and Lizard got the fewest votes and had to compete against each other. They both decided to perform Billy Joel's popular song, 'Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)', to determine who would stay.
Spaghetti and Meatballs has been eliminated from the competition, while Lizard, Poodle Moth, and Clock are moving on to the next round.
'American Idol' contestant Alyssa Raghu accused of stealing her best friend's audition
Alyssa Raghu returned to 'American Idol' Season 22 to support her best friend, Julia Davo, but ended up clinching a Golden Ticket to Hollywood.
Julia performed the rendition of 'Life on Mars?' for her audition and managed to impress only Lionel Richie. Julia was disappointed after she failed to advance to the next round and that's when Alyssa entered the room.
Instead of consoling her friend, Alyssa said to the judges, "I know you said that my voice was going to grow until I was 21, and you said that when I was 15, but just for giggles, I'd love to sing you something."
She performed Mariah Carey's 'My All' and asked the judges to consider her performance as an audition. The ABC show judges sent Alyssa to the Hollywood Week leaving the viewers furious.
However, after receiving the backlash for stealing her friend's spotlight, Alyssa took to her social media and blamed the editing for cutting out her request to advance her friend to the next round.
'The Voice' Season 25 contestant Ryan Argast faces eviction after losing to Karen Waldrup in battle round
During the seventh episode of Season 25 of 'The Voice', Ryan Argast and Karen Waldrup went head-to-head in a spectacular showdown during the highly-anticipated 'Battles premiere'.
The dynamic duo graced the stage with a mesmerizing performance of the chart-topping track 'Save Me the Trouble' by the renowned country music pair Dan + Shay. Their delivery was nothing short of breathtaking, leaving the audience spellbound and the judges in awe of their exceptional vocal abilities and commanding presence.
The battle between Ryan and Karen was electrifying, as they poured their hearts and souls into their performances, showcasing their unwavering love for music and their unwavering determination to make it to the top of the competition.
The judges faced a tough decision in selecting a winner, as both contestants delivered stellar performances that resonated deeply with everyone in the audience, leaving a lasting impact that would not soon be forgotten.
Karen ultimately triumphed and secured her spot in the playoffs, leaving Ryan behind and ultimately causing his elimination from the competition as he missed out on the chance to advance.
Bravo releases EXCLUSIVE audio tape from iconic Keiarna Stewart and Deborah Williams war
So, we all remember the video of Keiarna Stewart and Deborah Williams fighting, right? For most of us, it was our first encounter with Keiarna. Everyone was perplexed by the presence of Gizelle Bryant and Karen Huger lookalikes among the participants.
Candiace Dillard Bassett picked up a bottle in the background as if she were about to use it as a weapon. Keiarna and Deborah ended up on the floor, and the whole 'RHOP' fandom began experiencing memories of Season 5. Not again.
When the GnA showcase began this week, it became evident that it was the same night as the brawl in the viral video. Bravo could have easily eliminated this from the season because it didn't feature any full-time cast members and the cameras weren't rolling.
However, we discovered this week that the females were still mic'd when the fight took place. After the credits rolled, we learned what prompted the brawl. Surprise! It was Deborah.
In the post-credits sequence, the makers played audio of Deborah addressing Candiace. She went on to say, "Candiace, is there anything you and I need to talk about?" Candiace said, "Absolutely not," and began begging others around her to take "The Help" away from her.
Deborah pushed on."You called me Sesame Street?" Deborah asked. "You didn't say any of that in front of me." Keiarna begins to speak out at this point. She was attempting to alleviate the situation, but Deborah continued to press Candiace. She was becoming increasingly agitated as if she were preparing to settle a score.
The audio sample depicts pandemonium as Keiarna attempts to stop Deborah from pursuing Candiace. We all know what occurred next, but Bravo gave us the dreaded "To be continued" screen.
That means we could be expecting a spicy episode next week as the girls deal with yet another violent incident in Potomac.
