Stream It Or Skip It: ‘The Real Housewives Of Miami' Season 7 On Bravo, Where Alexia Nepola And Larsa Pippen's Breakups Are Immediately Addressed
It's been more than a year since The Real Housewives of Miami wrapped its sixth season, but the hit Bravo show is finally back — and the ladies are bringing the heat. Executive producer Andy Cohen has been teasing Season 7 for a while now, telling fans on Watch What Happens Live that this season is 'unbelievable' and that the dramatic teaser didn't even 'scratch the surface.' But was he right? We watched the first episode to decide for ourselves. Keep reading for our full review of The Real Housewives of Miami's Season 7 premiere:
Opening Shot: Five months before production for Season 7 was supposed to begin, Todd Nepola shockingly filed for divorce from Alexia Nepola after two years of marriage. When Bravo decided to pick up cameras early (in April 2024, days after Todd filed), Alexia shared her side of the story, revealing that she was, indeed, 'blindsided' by his decision to end their marriage.
The Gist: While everyone came together to support Alexia in the wake of her separation, some friendships took a turn for the worse in the five months between Todd's divorce filing and the actual start of production. In the premiere episode of The Real Housewives of Miami Season 7, tensions are already boiling between Lisa Hochstein and Larsa Pippen, and Julia Lemigova and Guerdy Abraira. But the drama, particularly between Lisa and Larsa, all comes to a head when they come face to face at Jody's birthday party.
What Shows Will This Remind You Of? The Real Housewives of Miami is just like any other Real Housewives show — just a little spicier and, at times, a lot louder.
Our Take: The Real Housewives of Miami has had an interesting run. The show aired on Bravo for its first three seasons before it was placed on pause. Eight years later, it was revived on Peacock for Season 4 and Season 5 — and finally brought back to Bravo for Season 6 and, now, Season 7. Giving this franchise a second chance on Bravo was, truth be told, one of the smartest decisions the network has made (besides giving Cohen his own talk show). The drama is always top-tier, the aesthetics are chic, and the women are just the right amount of delulu that keeps Bravoholics coming back for more — and Season 7 is no different.
So much has happened since we last saw the Miami ladies on our screens. Alexia has gotten divorced (even though she and Todd seem to be back together in some capacity), Larsa and Marcus Jordan's fairytale relationship has come to an end, and Julia has welcomed two new members to her family. The good thing? Almost every single life update is addressed in the Season 7 premiere. Confrontations are held. Tears are shed. Heck, we even get a theme party! Essentially, everything we love about The Real Housewives is right there in Episode 1 — and if they can keep that same momentum through all 10+ episodes, Bravo fans are surely in for a treat. I think it's safe to say that Cohen was right about this one, folks.
Sex and Skin: The closest we get to sex and skin is Adriana making out with her new French boyfriend on the couch at Jody's birthday party.
Sleeper Star: Kiki Barth has what it takes to be the star of The Real Housewives of Miami — if only Bravo would give her a full-time contract! She's gorgeous, she's honest, and her witty confessionals are next level. It's time that Kiki finally gets the recognition she deserves.
Most Pilot-y Line: 'She's crazy. She's drunk and stupid. And she is a bitch.' I don't normally pick catty lines for this one, but I can already see this getting turned into a viral TikTok audio. Thank you, Larsa!
Our Call: STREAM IT. The Real Housewives of Miami Season 7 is on FYAH.
The Real Housewives of Miami premieres Wednesday, June 11 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.

Tom Sandoval's America's Got Talent Audition Leaves Judges in Shock
Originally appeared on E! Online is pumping up the volume on America's Got Talent. The Vanderpump Rules alum shocked fans by making his unexpected debut on the NBC reality competition series. In a preview of the show's June 24 episode, the Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras frontman teased why he's taking his talents to the AGT stage two years after Scandoval—his cheating scandal involving exes and —became a media sensation. "My name is Tom Sandoval, I was the most hated man in America," Tom said in a clip posted to Instagram June 20. "This is the chance to show who I am as a musician." The Bravo star then sang a cover of A-ha's classic '80s hit "Take on Me" dressed in black pants and a glittering, bedazzled green jacket. As he opened the song, judge looked very skeptical at his vocal abilities. However, Tom impressively belted out the lyrics much to her (and the audience's) surprise. Meanwhile, notoriously harsh judge looked not too happy at the beginning after first laying eyed on The Traitors alum, but later flashed a giant smile as he enjoyed the performance. As for the crowd's reaction, audience members smiled and cheered, especially when Tom hit a particularly hard high note mid-chorus. More from E!

As for the crowd's reaction, audience members smiled and cheered, especially when Tom hit a particularly hard high note mid-chorus. However, fans will have to wait and see if Tom wins over Simon, Sofía, Howie Mandel and Mel B. Of course, this isn't Tom and Howie's first time coming face to face. The comedian famously hosted an explosive interview with the former SUR-ver after his 2023 cheating scandal. Looking back on his deception of Ariana, Tom admitted on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast that he "handled s--t wrong" and "f--ked up" with how he ended things with his partner of almost 10 years, but wished that some of their mutual friends had reached out to hear his side of the story. "Nothing is excusable for what I did," he said, adding of their former costars "I definitely deserve the hate, but for these close friends to not even shoot me a text and go right to social media and start posting things?" As for how things ended with Ariana, he recalled, "My plan was to breakup with her in therapy. I had made it pretty clear in therapy that I wanted to take the steps to break up, but Ariana really started fighting for it and I felt so, so bad about it." See if Tom makes it through to the next round of competition when America's Got Talent airs Tuesday at 9 p.m. on NBC. In the meantime, keep reading for surprising secrets about America's Got Talent.

Love Island USA Couple Have Sex in the Villa
Season 7 of Love Island USA is on fire! While many couples are still exploring, one couple has been the exception. Jeremiah Brown and Huda Mustafa became a couple from the jump, and have only been interested in each other. The couple even scored the first date of the season, and they hit up a water park. How romantic! Well, now the duo has taken their relationship even further. While Huda and Jeremiah have encouraged each other to explore, they also don't want anyone else. Viewers have seen the couple shower together. So, maybe the fact that they had sex isn't such a shock. Jeremiah and Huda did the deed during Episode 12, and they were caught on night-vision camera getting busy in the villa. Of course, they are also in a room full of other people, in close proximity. Islander Cierra Ortega found out the details. 'You had sex?' she asked Huda privately. 'Low-key, yeah. I won't give details on when or how, but all I will say is that it did happen,' Huda replied. I'm guessing that when it happened wasn't a mystery to the rest of the Love Island USA cast. However, there could be trouble ahead for the duo. Summer House star Paige DeSorbo hosted the show's next challenge, titled 'Got Wood.' When Jeremy selected Oliandra Carthen's name, he went in for a full kiss. Previously, he gave other contestants a peck on the cheek because of his respect for Huda. 'A challenge is a challenge. I'm not going to go in there and not do nothing because I'm scared,' Jeremiah said in his confessional. 'I'm here to play, I'm here to do the challenge.' The couple previously hit a bumpy patch when Huda revealed that she has a daughter. After overcoming his surprise, Jeremiah seemed cool with Huda's news. Only time will tell if this couple will go the distance. Love Island USA is streaming on Peacock. TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HUDA AND JEREMIAH HAVING SEX IN THE VILLA? WAS IT A MISTAKE?

Love Island USA Season 7 Claims Over 1 Billion Minutes Streamed
is taking over our lives yet another summer, and we can't be mad about it. Season 7 is riding the high of last year's fan-favorite group of Islanders, and they had big shoes to fill. Thankfully, the singles came to Fiji with a mission — make connections and stir up a little drama. From Huda Mustafa and Jeremiah Brown's whirlwind relationship to Ace Greene and Amaya Espinal's frenemy-ship, there's been a lot to take in so far. Apparently, fans are so obsessed with Love Island that we're watching a record-breaking amount of episodes. In a span of less than a week, Love Island USA had 1.2 billion minutes streamed across the nine episodes available, Deadline reports. Luminate looked at streaming minutes from June 6 to 12 to determine the total. It's the second most-watched streaming show on TV. So, fans are obsessing over tuning in to see what tricks Ariana Madix has up her sleeves next. That definitely makes us feel better about our TV watching habits. It's hard to believe that fans have already watched a billion minutes, and the season hasn't even been on for three weeks yet. That means thousands of people have witnessed antics like Taylor Williams bursting out of his straps after being seduced by Olandria Carthen. It's also a whole lot of people who have seen Huda crash out. Yikes. It took Season 6 nearly a month to crack a billion minutes viewed, so Season 7 is off to a strong start. Surely, with the way things are going in the villa these days, it won't take us long to rack up another billion minutes on this season alone. Love Island USA Season 7 is available to stream on Peacock. TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE TUNING INTO LOVE ISLAND SEASON 7? DO YOU PREFER SEASON 6 OR 7 OF THE SHOW SO FAR? The post Love Island USA Season 7 Claims Over 1 Billion Minutes Streamed appeared first on Reality Tea.
