The dating experiment-meets-franchise spinoff Bravo’s Love Hotel hits its midpoint Sunday night with its fifth episode, “Guess Who’s Back,” dropping new sparks and sharper stakes at 9 PM ET on Bravo.
Shot on location in Los Cabos, the unscripted format gathers franchise headliners—Shannon Storms Beador, Gizelle Bryant, Luann de Lesseps, Ashley Darby and more—for a high-gloss dating getaway where real relationships are on the table and weekly eliminations bring strategic pressure.
In this week’s episode, Ashley shakes up the house dynamics with a surprise cut that leaves both Ralph and Wale reeling, recalibrating her alliances and rekindling speculation about where her heart actually lies.
Meanwhile, Shannon pulls off one of the night’s more genuine moments with a deeply personal gift to Earl, prompting one of the more emotional reactions of the season so far. Elsewhere, Luann finds herself in the middle of what looks increasingly like an actual romantic arc—though not without complications.
Gizelle, a consistent player in Bravo’s unscripted orbit, finds her poker face finally working against her, as keeping her walls up starts to have a cost.
Love Hotel is Bravo’s latest swing at hybridizing its legacy IP with dating-competition DNA, an effort to capitalize on the network’s built-in audience while testing new reality lanes. The series continues Sunday as the Housewives face down choices that could split hearts—and alliances.
“Bravo’s Love Hotel” continues Sunday, May 25th at 9:00 PM ET on Bravo.
