RHOBH’s Erika Jayne Calls Housewives Shows ‘A Setup’
Things are bubbling over on Real Housewives of Orange County and battle lines are being drawn. The girls took lie detector tests at Emily Simpson’s party, and Katie Ginella failed spectacularly. Now Katie is saying she feels like it was all a setup. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne is unimpressed and said the whole show, in general, is a setup.
She’s not entirely wrong, though. The Housewives franchise isn’t exactly designed to show off only the best sides of these women. After all, where’s the drama in that? The show thrives on showing off the biggest fights, the nastiest feuds, and more. After all, that’s part of the reason people tune in.
Erika Jayne is in “a bad mood”
At the moment, Katie is not having an easy go of it. She’s a party of one right now on RHOC, and all the other ladies are against her. This comes on the heels of a very questionable lie detector test, which she failed, and other people passed despite flashbacks showing that they were lying. Very sus indeed!
On their podcast Two T’s In A Pod, Erika and Teddi Mellencamp discuss Katie’s reaction to Emily’s party and the immediate aftermath.
“Jenn (Pedranti) tells them that Katie thinks this was all a setup,” Teddi says. She paused and added, “This setup thing, though, I don’t like…”
“The whole show’s a setup, you fool,” Erika said quickly. “What part of this are you just coming to realize? The whole f*cking thing is a setup.”
The quickness with which she said it clearly indicates that she’s had her own experiences with the show, highlighting her not-so-best moments. She said previously that reality TV is difficult and is not for the faint of heart.
Teddi laughed at her conviction. And both women joked about the amount of “setups” in the Housewives franchise. They couldn’t believe the RHOC ladies didn’t realize this all by now. Eventually, Erika shakes her head and says, “I’m really in a bad mood. ”
“You’re in a bad mood and I’m post-immunotherapy,” Teddi says. “So we’re a big bag of uppers over here. Someone needs to drug us.” They proceeded to laugh over this until Erika said, “We need tranquilizers.”
Maybe that would help some of the RHOC ladies, too?
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo. The show streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
The Bold and the Beautiful’s Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Returns to Filming as Steffy Forrester

The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers reveal that Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is back on set and filming as Steffy Forrester at the new studio. B&B Supervising Producer Casey Kasprzyk confirmed the news on X, formerly known as Twitter, and got fans excited about Steffy’s big return.
You may have heard by now that the show moved production from Television City to Sunset Las Palmas Studios.
That’s given B&B more space to work with, so viewers will see some new sets in addition to plenty of familiar ones.
Of course, the cliff house will certainly remain a fan favorite.
In fact, it served as the background of the cute “Sinn” family pic that Kasprzyk shared to go along with his Jacqueline MacInnes Wood announcement.
Wood, Tanner Novlan (John “Finn” Finnegan), Sophia Paras (Kelly Spencer) and Bryan David Garlick (Hayes Finnegan) all posed for a photo together, so it’s nice to know more adorable family content is ahead.
However, the focus here is obviously on Wood’s long-awaited return from maternity leave.
Steffy will return to Los Angeles before you know it and get involved in some drama-filled storylines, including all the Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) mayhem.
Many fans will be eager to watch Steffy and Luna come face to face for the first time since all the chaos at the beach house.
Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) will also find himself on the receiving end of Steffy’s wrath now that he’s dumped Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) for the umpteenth time.
Steffy will definitely give Ridge a piece of her mind and extend her support to Taylor.
Steffy will no doubt weigh in on Liam Spencer’s (Scott Clifton) love life as well now that he’s fighting hard for a Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) reunion.
There’ll be lots for Steffy to do, so we’ll bring you updates on all the twists and turns headed her way.
