Jeff Lewis threw major shade at Dorit Kemsley at BravoCon.
As he also found himself in trouble with Andy Cohen, 57, suspected Teresa Giudice‘s reconciliation with Joe, 51, and Melissa Gorga, 46, wouldn’t last, and shared his thoughts on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and The Real Housewives of Orange County, Jeff, 55, spoke of his new show, Still Flipping Out, and struggled to say three nice things about Dorit, 49.
“Oh … I think she’s very attractive. And actually, she is bright. She is very bright, actually. She’s bright and she’s attractive,” Jeff began before pausing. “I want to say she’s a good parent, but no. Let’s see … I want to say she has a good sense of humor, but no … I don’t know.”
Then, after asking the audience to “help,” Jeff added, “She’s thin. She’s thin!”
At another moment of his visit to Las Vegas for the fan convention, Jeff spoke on the red carpet about what Andy deemed “inappropriate and insensitive” jokes.
“Well, I thought I killed it, but Andy did not. And he said that I, I think that maybe a couple of my jokes were inappropriate and insensitive,” Jeff explained to Us Weekly. “He is upset.”
While Andy wasn’t happy with things Jeff said on stage, which included a diss against Monica Garcia, 42, who he suggested was on food stamps, Jeff confirmed they are still in touch.
“There have been some texts that have gone back and forth. I have apologized. Look, I know this guy. We’ve known each other for 18 years. He vents and look, and I sincerely did apologize. Now I gotta give him time to cool off,” he explained. “My experience with him, he’ll get back to me in one to three weeks.”
Regarding Teresa making up with Joe and Melissa, Jeff admitted, “I don’t think that’s going to work.”
“I think they have to do two separate shows. I just don’t see how they could be on the same show in the same room,” he continued. “There is a lot of damage there. I think it’s probably irreparable. I’m not trying to be negative. I’m just trying to be realistic and practical.”
Rather than moving on with one show, Jeff suggested a reboot with Melissa, since she has the deepest ties to the current cast, and a spinoff starring Teresa, since “she can carry it.”
As for RHOBH, Jeff said he was glad to see Rachel Zoe, 54, return and noted that he also loved Kathy Hilton, 66.
“Even [Kyle Richards] … she’s always shared,” he noted. “I think for a minute there, she had to process her divorce, and I think you can always count on her to really share her personal life, and from what I understand, she does.”
Jeff then commented on Vicki Gunvalson, 61, returning to RHOC, saying he was “absolutely” thrilled with the news.
“I think they should bring back several OGs,” he stated. “I think you could bring [Alexis Bellino] back as a friend. We have to have a villain. I wouldn’t mind a Lauri Peterson or a Jeana Keough … I love Kelly Dodd. She brings a different perspective, which I appreciate.”
Also during the interview, Jeff said he was “very excited” about his new show, saying that while it is “basically season 12” of Flipping Out, it’s also new, with “new people, new clients, new houses, new jobs.”
“Because it’s been on every streamer for the last 10 years, I think they wanted to make it very clear that this is a new season. So they’re calling it Still Flipping Out,” he explained.
In a press release about the new series, which was officially announced at BravoCon, Still Flipping Out was described as an outlet for Jeff’s “hit show on Radio Andy, design empire, and combustible personality [to] converge.”
“In his new Bravo series, Jeff Lewis is as outspoken as ever, but this time the mic is always on. Lewis navigates the hilariously unpredictable nature of his professional and personal lives as his trademark spontaneity collides with the people who work with him, for him and still somehow survive him. Jeff Lewis can still flip out when he wants to, and he calls that personal growth,” the release stated, via Bravo’s The Daily Dish.
“Jeff Lewis has always been authentically himself, and that’s exactly why fans have followed him across different platforms and mediums,” added Rachel Smith, Executive Vice President of Unscripted Content, Lifestyle and Documentaries, NBCUniversal Entertainment. “His humor and knack for beautiful chaos have only grown since Flipping Out. Bringing him back to Bravo feels less like a return and more like picking up right where we left off.”

Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas were shockingly eliminated during DWTS Season 34‘s Prince Night semi-finals on November 18, 2025. Despite scoring 58 out of 60 points, the top contenders didn’t make the cut. Their combined score tied for second place on the leaderboard. This unexpected elimination sent shockwaves through the ballroom and the fan community.
Whitney and Mark delivered two stunning performances on November 18. Their first routine was a cha cha to “1999” that earned 29 out of 30 points. Their second performance was a Viennese waltz to “Slow Love” scoring another 29/30. Combined, they earned 58 total points.
Yet despite the exceptional scores, they didn’t survive the semi-final elimination. Robert Irwin and Witney Carson led with 59 points, while Alix Earle also matched Whitney’s 58-point total. The judges included Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli.
“I already feel like a winner. It’s changed my life and I’ll forever be so grateful to have this experience,” Whitney said after learning the new — Whitney Leavitt, DWTS Contestant
The evening featured emotional moments throughout. Jordan Chiles scored her first-ever perfect score of 30/30 and cried during her interview. Alix Earle broke down in tears over the judges’ praise. The night honored the late Prince with all performances set to his iconic songs.
Whitney and Mark had been considered a top contender all season. Many fans expected them to qualify for the finale easily. Throughout Season 34, they earned consistent high scores and delivered reliable, polished performances.
The combination of judges’ scores and viewer votes determined the elimination. Sometimes viewer votes differ from judges’ opinions. This semi-final round proved that even excellent scores don’t guarantee advancement. ABC’s voting system values both factors equally.
Social media erupted with reactions. Fans expressed their disbelief over Whitney’s elimination across multiple platforms. Many called it one of the season’s most shocking upsets. They questioned if viewer votes favored other contestants more strongly.
The semi-finals featured six competing couples across two rounds of performances. Here’s the complete breakdown of all scores and placements:
The table above shows how Whitney landed in the elimination position. Her 58-point tie with Alix didn’t save her. The difference came down to viewer voting numbers combined with judges’ scores. Robert Irwin earned the highest score each night.
Only five couples remain in contention: Robert and Witney, Alix, Jordan Chiles, Elaine Hendrix, and Dylan Efron. The finale airs on ABC and will stream on Disney+. Each couple performs three new routines for judges and America.
The pressure intensifies with only four couples being eliminated to reach this point. Whitney’s departure leaves fans wondering how viewer votes will impact remaining eliminations. All five finalists have shown remarkable improvement throughout Season 34.
This elimination raises questions about balancing judges’ scores with viewer votes. Whitney and Mark earned 58 points—the third-highest score. Yet they went home because viewer voting favored other couples more.
Dancing with the Stars combines two scoring methods. Judges award points for technique and performance quality. Viewers determine which couples survive through phone and text voting. The system creates unpredictability and drama.
