🚨 The Valley Season 2, Episode 13 Recap: “The Cruise From Hell” Was a Boatload of Drama (and Banana Hammocks)
Posted by Reality Rundown | July 8, 2025
Oh honey, if you thought a sunset cruise meant smooth sailing—think again. Bravo took us straight into stormy seas this week with Season 2, Episode 13 of The Valley, and trust, the tea was piping and the drama was nautical nonsense in the worst (best?) way.
💍 Kristen & Luke Said "Yes" and Everyone Else Said "No Thanks"
Our future bride and groom, Kristen and Luke, were riding high after their heartfelt (if dolphin-less) engagement. But this being The Valley, that love bubble popped faster than a champagne cork. What was supposed to be a celebration on the sea quickly turned into the Cruise from Hell—and not just because someone forgot the charcuterie.
Janet straight-up ghosted the party after getting an invite, which was already shady. But when Brittany tried to defend Janet’s absence, Kristen and Zack pounced like seagulls on a stray fry. Brittany’s loyalty? Officially in question.
⚔️ Janet vs. Kristen: The Showdown We Didn’t Know We Needed
Grab your popcorn and your life jackets—because Kristen and Janet finally exploded.
The two locked horns about Danny’s past inappropriate behavior, with Janet not mincing words. She called it sexual assault, and Kristen was NOT having it. In true Bravo fashion, the argument got louder than the boat’s motor, and Kristen eventually stormed off. Nothing got resolved except for the realization that these two? Will never be friends.
And honestly, Janet calling Kristen “a miserable human being” might be the new ringtone of the season.
📱 Jax and the Case of the Leaky Engagement
Meanwhile, Jax did what Jax does best—ruin a moment that had nothing to do with him. Thanks to Brittany running her mouth a little too early, Jax spilled the engagement tea in the boys’ group chat before Kristen and Luke even got the chance to post a reel. Kristen’s face when she found out? Priceless. Jax’s role as the group’s chaos agent remains fully intact.
🍆 Luke’s... Situation
We can’t not mention the buzz around Luke’s pants. His “banana hammock” (yes, the cast’s words, not ours) made waves on the boat and on Twitter. Somewhere in the Bravo editing room, someone is getting a raise for the number of zooms on that… situation.
💬 Why This Episode Slaps Harder Than a Wave to the Face
- Kristen vs. Janet is officially Bravo canon. Forget Scandoval—this is Valleygate.
- Brittany's loyalty is flip-flopping more than a fish on deck.
- Jax is still Jax, and that’s either the best or worst thing for the franchise.
- And let’s be honest—this boat had more tension than a Real Housewives reunion couch.
🚨 Coming Up...
With alliances crumbling faster than Bravo ratings, Episode 14 promises even more meltdowns. Will Kristen forgive Brittany? Will Janet take accountability? Will someone—anyone—finally mute Jax?
Stay tuned, mess lovers. We’ll be here breaking it all down one “banana hammock” at a time.
Question for You: Did Janet cross a line, or was she finally saying what everyone was too scared to admit?
