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
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.

Former NFL Star, Longtime Announcer Phil Simms Lands New Job
Former NFL Star, Longtime Announcer Phil Simms Lands New Job originally appeared on The Spun. 39 seasons ago New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms led the team to their first-ever Super Bowl title. In the decades since he retired, Simms has been working in broadcast media and for many years was part of CBS' No. 1 broadcast team alongside the legendary Jim Nantz. But Simms' contract at CBS expired after the 2023 season and last year he was working outside of the national sports spotlight. However, for the 2025 season he'll have a brand new job covering the sport he loves. The new job According to Newsday, Simms has been tabbed to work with NBC Sports covering college football games this fall. Per the report, he'll be serving as an analyst for three to-be-determined Big Ten football games on NBC's Peacock streaming service. Simms has both history and connections with NBC Sports. He previously worked for the network in the mid-1990s before embarking on his multi-decade run at CBS. His eldest son, Chris Simms, is currently one of the network's top analysts and has served as Mike Florio's co-host on ProFootballTalk Live. A mixed bag on commentary Simms isn't exactly beloved for some of his analysis though as he sometimes comes across as ignorant on the players he talks about. The most recent case that got on peoples' nerves was his coverage of New York Jets quarterback Brady Cook during Saturday's preseason game against the Giants. Simms remarked that Cook didn't have any help and couldn't find much success while he was playing at Missouri, which got a number of college football fans pissed off at him: "You'd think some of these guys should know something about college football but they don't," one user on X remarked. "Yes, because back-to-back, 10-win seasons and 2 bowl victories screams no talent. Sheezh!" wrote another. "Routinely amazed how awful some CFB takes are from NFLers," a third said. "Mizzou had by far the best offensive line in the SEC and also had a great receiving corps. Their weaknesses on offense were exclusively the QB and RB play." You can't please everybody and judging by this reaction, Simms might find his way under the skins of college football fans in the months to come too. Former NFL Star, Longtime Announcer Phil Simms Lands New Job first appeared on The Spun on Aug 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

Is ‘Deal or No Deal Island' returning for season 3? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on August 19, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated August 19, 2025, 11:52 IST Alright, let's talk about Deal or No Deal Island . If you're like us, you've been hooked on this wild reality show that takes the classic Deal or No Deal and cranks it up to eleven with a Survivor -style twist. After two seasons of heart-pounding challenges, sneaky alliances, and some serious cash on the line, everyone's dying to know: is Season 3 happening? Let's break down everything we know so far. Has NBC Given the Green Light for Deal or No Deal Island Season 3? As of now, August 2025, NBC hasn't dropped an official word on whether Deal or No Deal Island is coming back for a third season. No announcement doesn't mean no hope, though! The show's been a hit. Season 1, which kicked off in February 2024, pulled in nearly 6 million viewers across TV and streaming. Season 2, wrapping up in March 2025, kept the momentum going with a jaw-dropping $5.8 million prize won by David Genat—yep, a TV record! That kind of viewership and hype makes me think NBC's probably considering another round. When to Expect Deal or No Deal Island Season 3? Without a renewal, it's challenging to determine a specific date. But here's a clue: Season 2 filmed in summer 2024 and hit screens in January 2025. If Season 3's already in production, filming could start as early as November 2025. That suggests a possible premiere in late 2025 or early 2026, likely on Tuesdays at 9/8c on NBC, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock.

How ‘The Day of the Jackal' Team Brought a 'Semi-Derelict' Border Building Back to Life: 'This Was a Huge Undertaking'
The Day of the Jackal cinematographer Christopher Ross started his work on the Peacock series about an assassin named the Jackal (Eddie Redmayne) with a bang — no pun intended. In episode one, which was nominated for an Emmy for cinematography, the Jackal wounds the son of far-right German politician Manfred Fest — but it's all a ploy to lure Fest to his son's hospital bedside so the Jackal can assassinate him with a record long-distance sniper shot. More from The Hollywood Reporter How 'The Upshaws' Editor Angel Gamboa Bryant Makes Sure the Comedy Lands Every Time 'Inside Edition' Anchor Deborah Norville to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award at 2025 Daytime Emmys What Is P(doom) and Why Is Jesse Armstrong Laughing About It? 'Trial by fire,' jokes Ross of the assassination scene — the first scene he shot. (Last year, he received an Emmy nomination for his work on Shogun.) The sequence was composed of four sections, filmed in Budapest, Hungary, and Vienna, Austria. On the same day, Ross and his team also captured a scene demonstrating how the Jackal turns his suitcase into a sniper rifle. 'Eddie and I bonded over a love of meticulous prep,' Ross says of his first day of work. 'We had two suitcases constructed that could be turned into the gun — Eddie had one in his hotel room for a couple of weeks before we shot, and he would repetitively rebuild this gun, taking out the wheels, finding the bullets, taking out the handles. In reality, the building of the gun took about 15 minutes from an empty suitcase, and the idea was to truncate that period into these elegant nuggets of precision.' While Redmayne prepped for his role by attending 'sniper school,' Ross had to learn the characteristics of each weapon so he would know how to lens them properly. 'We ended up using a number of different lenses,' he explains. 'The actual Fest killing in episode one was photographed from the roof of the Hungarian National Theatre. It was a building that was 1,640 feet away from the hospital that we were filming at for the assassination, and we placed a 1,200mm lens with a 1.4 extender, so that makes it sort of 1,600mm long, on a stabilized head. I operated the stabilized head remotely to try to smoothly track as a sniper would. It was channeling everything based on the character.' Ross took home a unique souvenir: 'There is a medical device known as a laparoscope, which is for looking down your throat at your larynx. It's the only optical device that's narrow enough to fit down the barrel of a gun,' he notes. 'I have one of the world's only motion picture laparoscopes because I bought one specifically for The Day of the Jackal to analyze the rifling of the gun, but we never ended up doing it. I have a memento.' There were challenging shots aplenty for Ross, and while he credits the opening scene as the most difficult in terms of camera moves, the border crossing, in which the Jackal is stopped while attempting to enter France after the assassination, was logistically difficult, he says. 'It was written as a fairly brief scene, where the Jackal goes to the border and there's a temporary arrangement, but [episode director] Brian Kirk wanted this scene to be sort of an indicator: Is this the first mistake the Jackal has made?' he says. 'It runs about three minutes, and the script was about a page, so it was elongated quite a bit for tension purposes. We filmed it at the Hungarian and Austrian border, both member states of the EU now, but they weren't previously, and we were at some semi-derelict building at the border crossing that we had to bring to life. It sits on the side of the motorway these days as a completely disused set of buildings.' The crew repowered the buildings and all of its traffic lights: 'Every red cross and green arrow has been designed by the art department and built by practical electricians,' Ross explains. 'All the vehicles are brought in. This was a huge, huge undertaking. There are only six lines of dialogue in the sequence, but the power of the sequence is entirely in the crafts department delivering big.' But while Ross had to capture big moments, he also had to lens smaller, intimate ones, including one where the Jackal takes off his disguise prosthetics in the mirror, requiring a very tight shot. The scene had to be carefully framed after the team built a mirror image of the bathroom with a body double for Redmayne. It was filmed over a six-hour period. 'There are a couple of Probe Lens shots in there for being able to get right up to his contact lens and see the color change in his irises,' Ross explains of the scene in which the Jackal, disguised as an elderly janitor in an office, takes off his prosthetics after completing his mission. 'Then, on top of that,' he adds, 'we built a mirror image of the room on the far side of the bathroom and removed the mirror so that the final shot is the camera passing through the mirror and out into the room with him as he returns into the kitchen, as a subliminal trick to fool the audience. It's a technique that was brilliantly used by Robert Zemeckis in [1997's] Contact and Mathieu Kassovitz in [1995's] La Haine, and Brian and I thought it would be a fun little trick to play on the audience.' The scene was meant to be 'unsettlingly playful,' mirroring the show's main character. 'Brian's idea with the show was that it's about liars that lie about everything all the time, and so the idea was that we as storytellers would also be lying to the audience — that even the camera was an unreliable narrator,' Ross explains. 'You are never quite sure whether what you were seeing was the truth.' This story first appeared in an August stand-alone issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
