Anyone who’s watched this season of Love Is Blind knew the reunion would be messy, but Wednesday’s chaos was next level.

What happened: We all wanted to see how Ashley processed the news that Tyler is not just a sperm donor to his kids, as he claimed on the show. Instead, she he was involved in their lives and scolded America for doubting their communication. Wait — what? [People]

What people are saying: The couple says their sperm donor convo was staged and semi-fictionalized after they’d had the real talk off-camera to protect the other parties involved. Folks are . [Glamour]

My take: Producers fell asleep at the wheel this season if Ashley and Tyler really did fabricate a whole narrative for “privacy.” Also, Ashley and Tyler can scold social media sleuths all they want, but the kids’ mother — so clearly she didn’t want his “protection.” [Business Insider]

💃 ‘Dancing With the Stars’

Halloween Night left singer-actress Chandler Kinney and former Bachelor Joey Graziadei tied for first, but fans were to see retired NBA star Dwight Howard stay over former Bachelorette Jenn Tran. Hasn’t she ? [The Independent/Yahoo Entertainment]

🍊 ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’

We’re not getting of Love Is Blind until Valentine’s Day, so before we put this messy season to rest, I wanted to check in with Yahoo Entertainment reporter Kelsey Weekman for one last debrief.

Kelsey: Most of the drama this season happened off-screen, but I will never forget that someone else behind Monica’s back was that he was drunk at a sleep test.

Kelsey: I’ve only ever had hope for . I’m genuinely baffled that Tyler and Ashley are still together. But to me, the fun of Love Is Blind is seeing what pushes people over the edge into splitsville, whether it’s fundamental disagreements or personality clashes.

Kelsey: I love the token unmatched people who didn’t make it past the pods but hang around at events to ask questions and get people fighting!
