Reality TV Ex-Wives Fumble on Celebrity Weakest Link

This past Monday, October 20th, the revamped Celebrity Weakest Link game show aired an episode featuring a variety of reality TV ex-wives. The contestants, including Dorinda Medley, Jill Zarin, Vicki Gunvalson, Shanna Moakler, and Kendra Wilkinson, struggled to answer basic trivia questions during the competition.

In one exchange, host Jane Lynch asked Zarin about blepharoplasty, a type of eyelid surgery, and Zarin correctly identified the body part. However, Wilkinson and Medley both answered their questions incorrectly, leading Lynch to inform the group that they had "banked zero" out of a possible $50,000 for their charities.

Gunvalson, the former Real Housewives of Orange County star, seemed particularly confused about the game's rules, interrupting Lynch to ask when they should press the button. Moakler tried to clarify the gameplay, but Lynch noted that the only question Moakler got right was about plastic surgery.

Despite the challenges, the ex-wives continued to compete, with two contestants ultimately emerging victorious to determine the winner's charity. In addition to the featured ex-wives, the episode also included Cynthia Bailey, Tamar Braxton, and Kate Gosselin.

Lynch, who is hosting the revamped Weakest Link, has aimed for a more lighthearted approach than the show's previous host, Anne Robinson. She told TV Insider in September that she wants to make the contestants feel comfortable while maintaining a "strict school marm" demeanor.
