"It's brutal," Cumming exclusively told Laverne Cox on "Live From E!: Emmys." "Big time brutal -- and what I love about this is that some of the people, like the biggest set of stars in it, go out really quickly."

As the host noted on the red carpet at the 2024 Emmys, "And what happens on this, I can't really say, of course, but it's a bloodbath, and then it gets really lovely."

As for who is a part of this season's lovely competition? This time around, the cast roundup includes "Vanderpump Rules" star Tom Sandoval, "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Dolores Catania, "Summer House" star Ciara Miller, "Real Housewives of New York City" alum Dorinda Medley, "The Real Housewives of Potomac" alum Robyn Dixon and "The Real Housewives of Dubai" star Chanel Ayan.
