SHOCKING Schedule Change Sparks FAN OUTRAGE and CONSPIRACY THEORIES! Brace yourselves for chaos as the highly anticipated “The Valley” reunion has been THROWN INTO TURMOIL with a sudden, unexplained schedule shift that has sent shockwaves through the reality TV world

The Valley season reunion makes abrupt schedule change and will now film a month early due to ‘unavoidable’ conflict

THE Valley season reunion has made an abrupt schedule change and will now film a month early due to an ‘unavoidable’ conflict, The U.S. Sun can reveal.

Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, Kristen Doute and the rest of the cast are set to hash out this season’s explosive drama on Friday when they’ll be filming the reunion with Bravo boss Andy Cohen.

The reunion will be filmed after just the third episode of The Valley season 2 has aired for Bravo viewers, which is weeks earlier than reunions typically tapes.

According to a production insider, the reunion was “originally hoping” to film at the end of May.

However, due to stars Nia Sanchez and Kristen’s pregnancies, producers bumped up the filming schedule.

“Kristen and Nia are due a week apart in early June. But producers want to wrap everything up filming wise in early May just in case either of them welcomes their babies early.

“Bravo and producers are fully supportive and excited for them to have their babies. They’re bummed they won’t be able to film the reunion closer to the finale air date when more of the episodes are out in the open but it’s unavoidable.

“There is nothing anyone can do, and everyone is so excited for Nia and Kristen to welcome their little ones,” the source said.

While the cast will have the opportunity to watch the full season before Friday’s filming, the insider added it’s not ideal as it won’t give the group a chance to talk after receiving viewers’ feedback.

The season 2 reunion marks the first time the show has gotten one after Bravo decided not to give their debut season a proper after-special.

Despite this season showing the explosive drama between Jax, 45, and Brittany’s divorce and getting rave reviews from fans, viewership for the premiere was down a whopping 40% from last year.

The Valley season 2 premiere first aired on Tuesday, April 15th, one year after the show debuted in March 2024.

The first episode of the show’s sophomore season brought in 487,000 viewers the night it aired, according to Nielsen ratings data obtained by The U.S. Sun.

To compare, the first episode of season 1 had 786,000 people who tuned in – almost 40% more than the viewers who came back for round two.

The Valley’s Jax Taylor is ‘terrified’ of fans seeing his ‘unforgivable’ behavior this season amid divorce and addiction
To make the blow hit even harder, The Valley season 2 premiere had a strong show leading into it to help with ratings, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

RHOBH aired its part 3 finale of their reunion, which brought in just under 1 million viewers.

The show led directly into The Valley premiere, meaning over half of the fans who watched the RHOBH reunion actively shut off their TVs when the Vanderpump Rules spinoff came on.

Viewership increased in the following days as the majority of fans now watch the series on Bravo’s streaming platform, Peacock – which is also owned by parent company NBCUniversal.

The drop in ratings may come as a surprise to most, as this season features some of the wildest drama the cast has ever brought to TV screens.

The Cast of The Valley

Vanderpump Rules spin-off The Valley has attracted fans with its drama-filled episodes and entertaining cast. The reality show, which airs on Bravo, features some familiar faces from VPR and others as they manage their work and personal lives in California. Here is the cast of The Valley:

Jax Taylor, 44: former VPR star who is married to Brittany Cartwright, but is currently going through a separation

Brittany Cartwright, 35: former VPR star who is married to Jax Taylor, but has moved out of their marital home as they work through their issues

Kristen Doute, 41: former VPR star who is dating Luke Broderick and previously dated VPR’s Tom Sandoval and James Kennedy

Luke Broderick, 32: Kristen’s boyfriend who spends his time in The Valley and also in Colorado where he enjoys outdoor activities

Danny Booko, 40: Nia Booko’s husband who is from Michigan and works as an actor and voiceover artist

Nia Booko, 34: Danny Booko’s wife who is from Sacramento and hosts the podcast, Hold My Crown

Jesse Lally, 44: Michelle Lally’s ex-husband who is from Boston and is now a luxury real estate broker in Los Angeles

Michelle Lally, 35: Jesse Lally’s ex-wife who was born and raised in Beverly Hills and works as a real estate broker

Jason Caperna, 40: Janet Caperna’s husband who is from Los Angeles and works as a lawyer

Janet Caperna, 34: Jason Caperna’s wife who is from Ohio and formerly worked as an executive assistant

Season two will follow the end of Jax’s marriage to Brittany – which fans first saw blossom on season 4 of Vanderpump Rules.

Along with the end of their relationship, season 2 will also show Jax struggling with substance abuse and entering rehab for addiction.

Despite how difficult things appear to be on the show – Brittany, 36, recently claimed that life with Jax is actually “a lot worse” than people can imagine.

“Things are a lot worse than people think. Just the controlling aspect of everything — wanting to know where I’m at, what I’m doing 24/7.

“You’ll see throughout the season. … They’re gonna be like, ‘Wow. She went through all of this?’

“And just because he is trying to be a better person doesn’t mean that it’s actually better,” the Kentucky native told Us Weekly.

The Valley airs on Tuesdays on Bravo at 8pm EST.

Carrie Underwood’s furious off-camera reaction to American Idol fan-favorite Filo’s shocking elimination revealed

CARRIE Underwood’s furious off-camera reaction to American Idol fan-favorite Filo’s shocking elimination has been revealed.

The talented frontrunner, who many predicted would be a finalist on season 23, did not make the Top 10 – and cameras didn’t show the judges’ stunned response to the results bombshell.

After Ryan Seacrest, 50, announced American Idol’s Top 10 during Monday night’s show, the camera immediately panned to the contestants, who appeared noticeably stunned by the elimination.

The show did not include the judges’ reactions to Filo being sent home, but an insider present in the studio confirmed to The U.S. Sun that Carrie, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie were “furious.”

“When Filo got sent home, the entire studio was in absolute shock. It was by far the loudest gasp and by far the most stunned and upset the judges looked.

“All three were clearly upset by the results but Carrie appeared the most struck by it. Oh, she was not happy.

“She seemed really angry and also sad about it. She had a ‘WTF’ facial expression and was stunned speechless for several seconds.

“She just kind of lingered and looked forward and didn’t speak for several seconds as Filo said his goodbyes.

“Then her, Luke and Lionel whispered to each other very seriously. It was clear none of the three judges expected Filo to go home.

“And none of the three judges were happy about saying goodbye to someone who should’ve been a finalist,” the source said.

On Monday’s episode, Filo was joined by contestants Che and Breanna Nix as Ryan informed them that only one would make it into the Top 10.

When the longtime host read Breanna’s name, she immediately ran away with excitement as Che and Filo hugged on stage in disappointment.

According to the insider, as soon as it was revealed Filo’s time on the show was done, the entire studio began to chant his name.

“The crowd was chanting ‘Filo, Filo, Filo!’ for a minute or two even when cameras stopped rolling.

“No one else got that kind of reaction except Filo. He took it really well but others didn’t.

“Everyone was really upset he got sent home over Breanna, who many feel didn’t deserve to go through over Filo,” they claimed.

Fans appeared just as angry, if not even more so, about Filo’s elimination and expressed their rage online after the results aired.

“Robbed!! You definitely deserved to be in the top 10!!! Amazing amazing voice,” one person wrote with a sad face emoji.

“How the HELL did Filo go home over anyone else?! He is the most talented this season,” another said.

“Wheel” REVOLT! Fans ERUPT, Demanding Sajak’s RESURRECTION After Seacrest’s Debut! The unthinkable has happened: despite Ryan Seacrest’s highly anticipated takeover of “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune,” a furious faction of loyal viewers has taken to social media, unleashing a torrent of pleas for the legendary Pat Sajak to return from retirement! Accusations of a ‘charisma vacuum’ and calls for a complete host overhaul are shaking the foundations of the beloved franchise.

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune fans wish Pat Sajak ‘never retired’ in triumphant comeback after Ryan Seacrest took over gig

CELEBRITY Wheel of Fortune fans are wishing Pat Sajak ‘never retired’ after he made a triumphant comeback to the show on tonight’s premiere.

Season 5 of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune treated fans to one more dose of beloved host Pat, 78, after he retired and left the franchise, resulting in Ryan Seacrest taking over the role.

Airing of the celebrity-based special was delayed – which is why it’s just now being released despite Ryan, 50, already taking over the gig during the normal Wheel of Fortune season.

On Wednesday night’s episode, Pat and Vanna, 68, walked out arm-in-arm as the longtime host admitted he might be rusty since it had “been awhile” since he was last on the famous stage.

“I was supposed to be a contestant on the show before they decided I wasn’t funny enough and brought me back to host,” he joked.

The show kicked off with the celebrities giving hilarious interview segments – which included Joe ultimately offering to “adopt” Tiffany.

Tiffany then revealed she is a beekeeper after Matt talked about raising chickens – leading them to agree to exchange “her honey for his eggs.”

A baffled Pat appeared stunned by the conversation and quipped it felt like he “took the place of Jerry Springer” rather than the wholesome game show.

Pat’s humor appeared to strike viewers – many who gushed they “missed” the longtime host and wish he still was on the show.

“Man Pat is sharper than ever! He never should have retired he’s still got it,” one viewer wrote.

“I love Ryan as host but I won’t lie, tonight is really making me miss Pat. No one does it like him,” another said.

“Pat is hilarious, I miss his humor and the ease he brings,” a fan praised.

“Was channel surfing tonight and saw Pat was hosting tonight. Tuned in just for him, didn’t know he was going to be on again. That was a nice surprise,” a viewer stated.

One more gushed: “There’s something quite comforting about seeing Pat back at the Wheel.”

American Idol host Ryan joined the Wheel of Fortune universe last Summer, and his first episode aired on September 9, 2024.

He briefly guest appeared on the show the season prior as Pat passed on the baton to the Hollywood icon after 43 years of hosting the series.

While many viewers have praised the job Ryan has done, others have been more critical and miss the former host.

The ratings have reflected the divide, as The U.S. Sun previously reported that viewership has dropped since Ryan took over the role, despite ratings initially being sky-high when he first started.

Wheel of Fortune’s big changes

The game show has undergone a major transformation now that Ryan Seacrest has taken over hosting duties for Pat Sajak.

-Ryan and Vanna White now host on a brand-new set, featuring a blue-toned stage, a green screen and art-deco wheel design.

-Ryan and Vanna make their big entrance from behind new sliding, brightly lit doors.

-Vanna turns – or now, touches – a modern, digital puzzle board controlled by lasers.

-Ryan brings a new hosting style, and has ditched Pat’s signature cue cards.

-The prizes have also been upgraded, and now include tickets to NFL games, and tickets to A-list concerts.

In addition to overall ratings being lower, the show has also been outnumbered by its sister show, Jeopardy!

WHEEL-Y GENEROUS

Magic Mike star Joe, comedy icon Tiffany and funnyman Matt were the first trio of celebrities to compete on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune’s season 5.

Each star had hoped to advance in the tournament with hopes of earning $1 million for the charity of their choice.

Joe played for UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation, Matt chose Open Book while Tiffany competed for her own She Ready Foundation.

Other A-listers who will compete later this season include Rainn Wilson, Ellie Kemper, Justin Long, Regina Hall, Katharine McPhee, Randall Park and Andrew Rannells.

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune airs on Wednesdays at 8pm EST on ABC and is available to stream the following day on Hulu.

As well as her hosting duties on GMA, Robin is getting ready to take on a completely different project.

It’s been announced today that she will be fronting new Hulu crime docuseries, Murder Has Two Faces.

The show aims to “shine a social justice light on harrowing, lesser-known cases that were eclipsed in the media by more notorious murders.”

Each episode will unravels a crime that shares similarities with high profile cases like Laci Peterson, Chandra Levy, and the Craigslist Killer.

One of the cases that will be examined is the murder of Evelyn Hernandez – a pregnant mother who disappeared with her 5-year-old-son before her remains, like Laci Peterson’s, were found in the San Francisco Bay

The series includes exclusive interviews with friends and families of the victims, and will be able to be streamed on Hulu on Tuesday, May 6.

KEEP THE FAITH

Robin is known for her daily inspirational Morning Messages, and today’s one encouraged her fans to “have faith”.

Addressing her followers who she calls her “Glam Fam”, she said: “Deep down sometimes, you know you wanna believe and you wanna have faith but your mind tells you something else.

“All the things of why it isn’t going to happen and what we’re looking for, and praying for, that little voice in you that says, ‘don’t get your hopes up on what you’re thinking and dreaming of is just too good to be true’.

“Even if you don’t have the faith, there are somethings that the almighty is still going to do.

GMA’s Robin Roberts stutters, breaks into tears and runs off set after biting into hot wing on live TV with Hot Ones’ Sean Evans
“Just because you gave up, doesn’t mean he did.

“He’s going to override your unbelief and do things that you never dreamed.

“Things that will bring you more joy, more fulfillment, that you can ever imagine.”

In a short video montage posted on the show’s official Instagram, Ryan was featured through the years as he interviewed a number of celebrities, like Britney Spears and Hilary Duff. Apart from the celebrity highlights though, there were also plenty of behind-the-scenes moments, showing Ryan working in the studio with his crew, who helped him get to this point in life.

“19 years ago!” he said in the clip. “How fantastic? I have to tell you, I love it here!” The video’s caption also expressed gratitude to dedicated listeners. “Happy 19th! Thanks for tuning in all these years 🫶,” it read.

Wheel of Fortune fans fume over ‘awkward’ Ryan Seacrest on-air stage habits

As Ryan Seacrest’s first season of Wheel of Fortune is underway, fans are slamming the new host as they notice his ‘awkward’ on-stage habits.

Hit gameshow Wheel of Fortune fans are calling out Ryan Seacrest as they pick apart his ‘on-screen’ habits and compare him to former host Pat Sajak.

Seacrest took over the huge roll after Sajak announced his retirement last year, leaving a 40-year legacy behind him.

Following Sajak’s big shoes, it’s inevitable for fans to pick Seacrest apart.

Most recently, fans are noticing his ‘awkward’ habits, with one saying: “Ryan tends to wear sport jackets with open collar shirts. Perhaps it’s due to their generation gap of 27 years.”

“Or the show’s producers saw it as part of the modernization of WOF. But thankfully the nixed the idea of replacing Vanna with an animatronic,” they finished.

The Reddit posts had fans in a frenzy as they agreed with the disppointed fan.

“Is it just me or does Ryan laugh and chuckle too much? Feels slapstick when not awkward,” another fan noted.

A third wrote: “Can’t do it. Unless Seacrest turns the volume down, I’m exhausted and need a drink to watch. Is this the producers new ‘spin?’”

“I think Ryan is still just in that “prove yourself” part of the job like we all get with any new job. It takes a while before you can let your guard down, relax, be yourself,” another wrote in defense of Seacrest.

A fourth wrote: “The contestants are so wild and crazy now! Annoying,” as they claimed the audience was the issue.

“According to my mother every time somebody lost the 100,000$ it looks like he’s laughing at them. Like he’s so happy to point out that they didn’t win all that money,” a final fan theorized.

Ryan Seacrest ‘Petrified Exes Will Spill Bedroom Secrets’ After Julianne Hough ‘Belittled His Masculinity With Relationship Attack’

Ryan Seacrest is hurting and feeling his manhood has been slighted after ex Julianne Hough belittled their three-year romance.

And now RadarOnline.com can reveal the new Wheel of Fortune host fears other ex-girlfriends will spill his tightly kept secrets.

An insider said: “He can’t understand why she did this to him and thinks she owes him an apology.

Source: MEGASeacrest is scared his other ex-girlfriends will now also spill his tightly kept secrets.

“When Ryan breaks up with someone, the one thing he counts on is discretion. He doesn’t want people scrutinizing why he’s still single at this age.

“He assumes everyone’s laughing at him.”

The 36-year-old Dancing with the Stars hoofer, who’s now co-hosting the show, dated the 49-year-old media mogul from 2011 to 2013 – and recently said she made herself “smaller” and twisted herself into the type of girl she thought Seacrest wanted.

Hough said: “I had this insecurity…. and so I then started playing smaller. So I was malleable to fit into exactly what somebody needed me to be for them to be happy.”

Source: MEGAHough recently opened up about her and Seacrest’s three-year romance – even though they split in 2013.

But her shocking confession left the American Idol host fuming.

A source said: “Ryan’s stunned that she would attack his masculinity that way. He feels he’s been made to look like a fool and a real jerk.

“Truth is, it wasn’t a flaming romance. What they had was a glorified friendship, but he thought they had a deal to respect each other.”

The upcoming Wheel of Fortune host also split with Aubrey Paige, 26, in April after three years, and previously dated food blogger Shayna Taylor, 32, for eight on-and-off years until their breakup in 2019.

Source: MEGASeacrest and his latest girlfriend, 26-year-old model Aubrey Paige, broke up in April after three years together.

An insider added: “He’s telling Julianne to please stop with this, and make this the last time she embarrasses him.”

As RadarOnline.com reported, Seacrest has also allegedly bumped heads with Vanna White, 67, since taking over for Pat Sajack, 77, as the new host of Wheel of Fortune.

Although Seacrest’s first episode is scheduled to air on Monday, September 9, he and White began filming earlier this year – and she was said to be left “feeling like a third wheel” during production.

One source said: “They started taping in late May and Vanna has tried to give Ryan advice and show him the ropes.

“But Ryan is a control freak. He finally told her he’s doing things his way and he’s not trying to be Pat Sajak.”

The insider continued: “So Vanna is again relegated to the background, but now it’s not with Pat, someone she knows and loves, but a new guy, Ryan.

“It’s not that she doesn’t like Ryan, but her chemistry with Pat was just much more natural. With Ryan, it feels forced and she doesn’t want that to come across to loyal viewers – and producers fear the audience will notice it as well.”

‘Wheel of Fortune’ With New Host Ryan Seacrest Was the Most-Watched Entertainment Show Across Broadcast, Cable and Syndication in September

Viewers are still giving “Wheel of Fortune” a spin with new host Ryan Seacrest. The syndicated strip’s Season 42, with Seacrest taking over for longtime host Pat Sajak (and joining co-host Vanna White), made a splash in its opening month as the most-watched entertainment series in September across broadcast, cable and syndication.

According to Nielsen data, “Wheel of Fortune” averaged 7.99 million viewers during its premiere month (September 9 to October 6, 2024). When sports and news are taken out of the equation, that means more people watched “Wheel” than any other entertainment program on linear TV. And even when you add news into the mix, only “60 Minutes” (8.98 million viewers) beat it.

The arrival of Seacrest helped give “Wheel” its highest best premiere month audience in three years, up 12% from last year. According to producer Sony Pictures TV, the show reached 40 million total viewers in its premiere month. “Wheel of Fortune” is also up 3% in the adults 25-54 demo vs. last year.

“Wheel of Fortune” is produced by Sony Pictures Television, and is distributed domestically by CBS Media Ventures and internationally by Paramount Global Distribution Group. The two also work together on “Jeopardy!” — which was the No. 3 most-watched entertainment series during the first month of the season, averaging 7.35 million viewers. (The single sneak preview episode of CBS’ “Matlock” was at No. 2, with  7.74 million.)

According to early, local data, the Season 42 premiere averaged a 4.62 household rating in the overnight markets, vs. a 2.94 rating for the Season 41 premiere in 2023. “Wheel of Fortune” returned on Monday, Sept. 9, for its Season 42 with some big changes, including a new set (which, Seacrest noted, came with a lot of lights) and, of course, the biggest change of them all: A new host. That was acknowledged up top, when announcer Jim Thornton opened the show: “And now together for the first time, here are the stars of our show, Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White!”

As for Sajak, he will still be seen this midseason in ABC’s primetime edition of “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune,” which reps his last turn on the show.

“The Price Is Right” Host Drew Carey Faces Serious Medical Scare On Set, Prompting Production Halt. Reports indicate that beloved host Drew Carey experienced a significant health incident while filming “The Price Is Right,” leading to an immediate suspension of production.

Drew Carey’s Health: Addressing Concerns Over Emergency Medical Attention

Recently, rumors have circulated about Drew Carey needing emergency medical attention. However, as of now, there are no confirmed reports indicating any urgent health crisis for the beloved comedian and The Price Is Right host.

A Look Back at Carey’s Health History

While Carey has generally maintained good health, he did experience a serious medical scare in 2001. While on set, he suffered chest pains and later underwent an angioplasty procedure to clear a blocked artery. Since then, there have been no publicly known major health concerns related to his physical well-being.

Carey’s Openness About Mental Health

Beyond physical health, Carey has been candid about his mental health struggles, particularly during his youth. He has spoken openly about battling depression and even revealed that he attempted suicide twice in his late teens and early twenties. In recent years, he has used his platform to advocate for mental health awareness, often ending episodes of The Price Is Right with messages urging viewers to prioritize their well-being.

Personal Tragedy and Resilience

In 2020, Carey endured an immense personal tragedy when his ex-fiancée, Amie Harwick, was murdered by an ex-boyfriend. The devastating loss deeply affected him, leading to a temporary hiatus from his hosting duties. Despite this heartbreaking event, Carey has continued to find ways to honor Harwick’s memory and advocate for domestic violence awareness.

The Current Status

While concerns about Carey’s health have surfaced online, there is no current evidence to suggest he is facing a medical emergency. Fans can rest assured that, as of now, he remains active in his hosting role and continues to engage with his audience both on and off the screen.

For now, Carey’s supporters hope he remains in good health and continues to bring joy to television audiences worldwide.
