Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” Awards are back and bigger than ever.
Following the success of its first show in 2025, the second annual VRT Awards returns to the Big Apple to celebrate the year’s most iconic moments in reality television.
Hosted by “VRT” stars Evan Real and Danny Murphy, the gala-style 2026 show will take place on October 6 at the Edison Ballroom in New York City and feature unscripted performances and appearances from the world’s top talent.
Tri-State Cadillac serves as the exclusive automotive sponsor of this award.
The cast of E!’s The Golden Life, Kelly Bensimon, Countess Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Sonya Morgan and Ramona Singer, will be in attendance to accept VRT’s highest honor, the Golden Kettle Award, which recognizes lifetime achievement in reality television, as personally selected by Murphy and Real.
‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Drew Sidra will take the stage for a special live performance.
Additional performers and celebrity appearances will be announced at a later date.
“It really is the most wonderful time of the year for us,” Murphy and Real said. “We can’t wait to celebrate reality TV’s biggest stars and moments with fans who live for reality TV just as much as we do.”
Tickets are available now for the live event, which also includes a cocktail hour, sit-down dinner, and VIP afterparty. Voting will open in August on PageSix.com
Notable categories for fan voting include “Quote of the Year,” “Hottie of the Year,” “Best Cast,” “Best Reunion Performance,” “Best Return to Screen,” “Style Icon of the Year,” “Musician of the Year,” and “Favorite Dynamic Duo.”
Last year’s inaugural “VRT” Awards featured appearances by dozens of reality stars and a special musical performance by “Real Housewives of Potomac” alum Candice Dillard Bassett.
Fan favorites Melissa and Joe Gorga, Phaedra Parks, Scheana Shay, Jesse Draper, Jenelle Evans, TJ Dinch, Jordan Emanuel, Julia Lemigova, Gretchen Rossi and more also appeared to celebrate the year’s most iconic unscripted event.
Afterward, they gathered at the Fly Fish Club for a VIP afterparty, where “Summer House” star Kyle Cooke deejayed and guests mingled and danced the night away.
