This season focuses on Erika's lawsuit and divorce, Lisa Rinna's personal life with daughter in spotlight & her rebuilding friendship with Garcelle, Sutton & Crystal and Kyle & Garcelle on race relations, & more.

This episode (titled "Dressed to the 90210s") started with Kyle's new nose, Sutton & Garcelle friendship, then Erika, Dorit, Kyle, & Lisa touching on the effects of a challenging year and setting the stage for Erika's life troubles to take center stage. Then, we see Dorit & husband PK in their Encino home and Sutton renting Kyle's former house for $20,000 a month in Bel Air (near Beverly Hills & UCLA) plus we saw Garcelle & Lisa meet up to begin repairing their friendship and tie up lingering Denise Richards drama from Season 10 Reunion. Next, we see Erika at her Pasadena house now on the market as a result of the legal issues plus Garcelle & Dorit talking in interesting Chanel outfit while Lisa & Kyle head to meet Crystal to give games for Children's Hospital Los Angeles (flashback to Jamie Lee Curtis cameo from fundraiser in years past). Then we get an intro to Krystal and her older husband and we learn they met when she was 20 & from the valley. We learn about Crystal's Chinese heritage & similarities / differences between her & other housewives. A glam “barbecue” at Dorit’s house brings Kyle's sister Kathy Hilton & Crystal to meet the entire group and get a glimpse at the "snobby" side of her when being introduced to Dorit and saying "if you don't know someone they may not be worth knowing". We are then present for the announcement of the first cast trip to Lake Tahoe, California for group bonding after a rough year. Episode ends with girls saying what the past year taught them and Erika giving insight on her "very dark summer" to get us interested in what is to come.

Next episode appears to dive into race talks with Garcelle & Kyle then Kyle, Crystal & Sutton, before & during the Tahoe trip.

Then on "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen the entire cast minus Erika & Kathy joined live virtually and from the vibe of the show I think the group will bond over the Erika situation. In this episode of WWHL we also get talks of former housewife Lisa Vanderpump & references to Lisa Rinna's "own it" tagline from the premiere episode. We shall see!

TikTok star Jason Jeter got a LIFETIME BAN from Disney after backstage trespassing & water fountain drinking.

First, we will discuss this TikTok video of Jason explaining what happened from his perspective and some valid comments from the Subreddit called "byebyejob" post titled "The Disney water fountain guy got fired lmfao" (https://www.reddit.com/r/byebyejob/comments/n84v8v/the_disney_water_fountain_guy_got_fired_lmfao/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) and this NY Post article titled "TikTok star claims Disney World issued him a ‘lifetime ban’" (https://nypost.com/2021/05/05/tiktok-star-claims-disney-world-issued-him-a-lifetime-ban/).

Then, I will share my take on when I've gone backstage at Disney parks (Disneyland and Disney California Adventure (DCA) in particular), along with answering the question "Does going backstage at Disney ruin the magic?"

Also, I want to touch on some comments from Twitter on this matter from another Theme Park Blogger stating what they think the impact of this situation will have on other people in a similar niche as Jason online (https://mobile.twitter.com/pammieplusparks/status/1390112338544521217)

Following that, I will share his connection to other theme park YouTuber content creators such as JoJo's World & Kyle Pallo, plus some of my other favorites Florida based theme park vloggers like TheTimTracker. 

Plus I will share my thoughts on how this compares to shock jock Howard Stern tactics for attention & story time creators like Tana Mongeau in particular who shared a Disneyland story time in 2016 titled "I SHUT DISNEYLAND DOWN & BLED EVERYWHERE: STORYTIME".

Then, we will wrap up with how I think Jason's future will go after being banned from the place he creates content from & speculate on what this could mean for the sponsor in fountain video "The Coldest Water".

My thoughts as a Californian on Caitlyn Jenner running for governor against Gavin Newsom in recall election.

Caitlyn Jenner announced her run for governor a few weeks ago and it has brought national attention to the election as a result. From mainstream media to new media, the reactions have been interesting.

Caitlyn, as a trans women, Kardashian adjacent, Trump Republican, has turned the dial of cognitive dissonance to its highest levels in California and across the country. When Bruce Jenner transitioned to Caitlyn Jenner in front of the world, it was new territory and it appears that will continue with this campaign.

Many wondered if Caitlyn would adopt Trump era policies of populism, stray from some controversial trans policy, and address many California centric issues such as; wildfires, drought conditions, border immigration, policing, and more.

Now, media at all levels including local California stations have no choice but to cover this story despite any bias they have politically. A recent Hannity interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News Channel (FNC) continued to add to national interest in this election although most coverage coming off the interview was criticism of her showing her privilege.

Internet reactions also brought up the car accident from years ago where people think Caitlyn (then Bruce) got away with a crime. There is also talk of discrediting those running in the election by using the "all Republicans are bad", "Trump transphobic", "Caitlyn the murder", generalizations becoming more frequent in recent memory but coming back to haunt those using those methods (i.e. 2016 when Donald Trump shocked many by defeating Hillary Clinton).

Also, many online creators such as Candace Owens, BXBeastBoy, Dr. Steve Turley, Conservative Twins (Hodge Twins), Blaire White, and more have reacted to this news on their platforms as Caitlyn ramped up her criticism of current Governor Gavin Newsom & President Joe Biden as she continues on the campaign trail.

Johnny Harris' "The REAL Reason McDonalds Ice Cream Machines Are Always Broken" viral video reaction. Does my local franchise have a working machine?

Many big media companies, independent media companies, creators, authors, and more have tried to tackle the problem of ice cream machines being down at McDonald's. The latest video from YouTube journalist Johnny Harris going 2021 YouTube viral is a sign this theory is not slowing down.

This video brought up great points and indicates this may be the beginning of the end for the broken ice cream machine for McDonald's franchises allowing them to compete with the likes of Wendy's, Chick-fil-a, Burger King, In-n-Out and more.

I also share some fun facts about me regarding fast food shakes, Disneyland Dole Whips, the frozen yogurt shop craze of years past, Sizzler soft serve, and Tillamook Toasted Coconut Fudge gelato.

Josh Duggar's arrest has commentators Katie Joy (Without A Crystal Ball), Josh (Dad Challenge Podcast) & radiantbritt sharing their thoughts, here are some of my alternative thoughts.

This is a segment from Monday's live with my reaction to the coverage of this story by a few creators including Katie Joy from "Without A Crystal Ball", Josh from "Dad Challenge Podcast" & radiantbritt.

Josh Duggar was arrested last Thursday in Arkansas and has pleaded not guilty to charges of receiving and possessing material depicting the sexual abuse of children.

Josh has been in the spotlight as one of 19 kids of parents Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar who rose to fame with their show "19 Kids & Counting" on TLC. However, this isn't the first run in with the law for Josh as the show was cancelled originally because of past similar allegations.  

YouTube Drama, Anti-MLM & Motivational "Guru" commentator Camelia just revealed she was sued by guru Marisa Peer.

I have some thoughts as someone who has interacted with the community over the last few years in good and not so good ways.

Marisa Peer is a British therapist, best selling author, and motivational speaker who Camelia made videos about red flags she saw regarding qualifications of Marisa. After back and forth over these videos and copyright claims against Camelia, Marisa's lawyer served Camelia with a lawsuit.

This lawsuit joins the long list of recent lawsuits involving James Charles, Tati Westbrook, Without A Crystal Ball (Katie Joy), Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Erika Jayne & soon to be ex-husband once mega attorney Tom Girardi, Real Housewife of Salt Lake City Jen Shah, and wedding dress designer Hayley Paige just to name a few.

This is also reminiscent of a past lawsuit between YouTube news commentator Meet Kevin and business guru Grant Cardone.

Not to mention, recent legal issues with Josh Duggar of '19 Kids and Counting' and court proceedings in the Britney Spears conservatorship situation which has given new life to the "# Free Britney" movement.

Segment from replay of President Biden's 1st address to Congress w/ Vice President Kamala Harris & House Speaker Nancy Pelosi live watch party.

President Joe Biden held his first address to a joint session of Congress Wednesday as he approaches 100 days in office.

The joint session speech touches on the "American Families Plan" with a focus on childcare and education investments. Also touched on in the speech was green and traditional infrastructure, police reform, immigration policy including on the border crisis, gun safety & gun control policy, pandemic response with the vaccine rollout mobilization from the military, public sector, and private sector, and reopening the US & state economies.

Netflix "Cheer" star Jerry Harris is joined by Robert Scianna (Awesomeness TV Cheerleaders) & Mitchell Ryan (Navarro College Cheer) for allegations of misconduct with minors online.

Allegations against "cheerlebrities" over inappropriate contact with minors over social media are adding up as more come forward with claims against Netflix's "Cheer" star Jerry Harris and Awesomeness TV's "Cheerleaders" former star Robert Scianna. Another Navarro College cheerleader Mitchell Ryan is in trouble as well for similar reasons.

All this comes after revelations over a cheer mom making a deep fake to spite her child's cheer competition made national headlines, spurring a conversation around the environment created in all-star cheer and other competitive spaces for young people.

This is a similar incident to recent allegations in James Charles' latest scandal.

Some surprising mixed reactions on former Bachelor Colton Underwood's coming out on GMA.

Colton's coming out on Good Morning America plus announcement of a Netflix show about his new life garnered backlash from people who would normally be celebrating someone coming out with a side of themselves they've been hiding.

Colton's history of being marketed by ABC's Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise as the "virgin athlete" and his treatment of women on the shows may be contributing to the backlash.

Different take on question radiantbritt answered in her video "Will Myka Stauffer RETURN to YouTube?"

The situation with Myka & James Stauffer over rehoming their adopted child with special needs made them infamous on the internet, in particular the family vlogging community, spurring the rise of the anti-family vlogging community.

This scandal forced an end to family related content for the Stauffers. However, James has been posting on his "Stauffer Garage" channel, a car detailing channel.

I first found out about this scandal throughout Without A Crystal Ball last year after coming across Katie Joy's content through Sister Wives videos of hers.

If Myka returns, it would breathe new life into channels in need of a pivot when the Katie Joy vs. Tati lawsuit drama comes to an end.
