@NothinButAttitude sounds like the latter. *sips tea*

Haha!!! Variety is late. Everyone else has already more or less confirmed.

I totally agree. I was excited when I heard about him. And what little I saw of the setup for him...when he was behind bars...was cool. But now...? It's like what happened. It could only be GH's fault.

All my GH viewing.

And lest we forget...or I don't...Buffy's 18th birthday present...and Willow's pusher now that I think about it. He can play so much better and menace than this.

HAHAHAHA!!!! I was just wondering about him yesterday. How well timed.

Since it came up, while I think we all know my loathing of Andy Cohen, let me take the time to repeat myself over a point that was brought up above... ...Perhaps it was because back in the day, Andy held his bias better with some charm, charisma, or twinky homogenic traits, but other than in extreme cases (it seem clear how he felt about some of his OGs), it never came off as he was playing too favorite on anyone. That said, another factor might be also that the OGs were very much able to verbally smack down all haters to them back then...heck, how many times Teresa was her vs everybody? Even better, their haters were ALSO good at defending themselves back, making for some great reunions for sure. So all he really had to do was sit back, ask questions, and do his thing. Even some of today's Housewives easily can do verbal without 'help.'. Not all. SOME. Many pages back, a lot of us pinpointed when this all really went to his head: HIS HOUSEWIVES PARTY with Ex Soap Opera Star saying 'dance monkeys dance' or something like that. Since then, the mask has dropped. And it has been behind the curtains for just about every viewer but the shallow or pick-mes who see how Andy is now. I've gone off at length about when I saw it myself...BELOW DECK SEASON 7 reunion. And since then to now, every reunion BUT last year's NY reunion, he has let it all hang out...even when he should keep his ego in check and JUST HOST. Even worse, he acts like HE the housewife and someone was messing with his man(s), distracting unnecessarily from what was being discussed, being tone deaf to the serious issues, or just being obnoxious when he is called out on that very truth tea. And now that ability to not be objective is hurting his shows. It was VERY telling at the POTOMAC reunion when he was trying to gaslight Monique. Production went behind his back to save her from his bias to save someone he seems to think is the face...and NO, she is not the face of POTOMAC. He just wants her to be. With that in mind, it does make me suspect that perhaps as payback at Nene, Andy could be sabotaging RHOA this year. To make it less than what it was since Nene has been calling him all the way out. He can't get to her, but he can get to the house she built. Why? Because he has now made it clear how he is now. Petty. Ratchet. Wh3ore. Cokehead. As for reality tv...yeah to an extent it really is not real anymore. Emphasis on anymore. The best drama on these shows HOWEVER have been when something not planned happened. Or when the producers allowed real life to enter. I immediately think of BH and Russell. The first few seasons of RHOA. NY was built on the friendships of the ladies and that is STILL going strong. And they STILL have moments to show real life...like Jill's husband's funeral. Will people self produced? As far back as NY Season 3, Camille in S2 of BH. Even Kenya from the moment she stepped into frame Season 5 of RHOA. However, there has been over the last year of consistently breaking the 4th Wall, revealing so much of what is going on behind the scenes, now viewers have to wonder what they ARE NOT seeing versus what they ARE SEEING. There is a reason the biggest drama on RHOA right now is the fact they edited out a lot that would give the whole disjointed season perspective. Compare that to Season 9. Dark or not, they showed EVERYTHING. So Production can and should DO BETTER. Until SOMEONE is telling them NOT TO. And we can guess who would do that...regardless of claiming to no longer have any power. And he has been called here the Brian Frons of reality TV and I believe that. And none of it is real...or even fun...if I have to question any of it to the point it can't be enjoyed...well what's the point of even watching...moreso now that there are plenty of other shows to watch out there? That is the dilemma Bravo has found itself in. If they don't inject some fun AND real back in, these shows might go the way of cancelled soaps. Now...that's my 2 cents on that.

THIS. And so much going on. And thank you @Chris B. I forgot that they also discussed how Liz's family is doing currently. Sarah is on the West Coast. Jeff and her are not talking. I thought that was interesting they were mentioning it so hmmmm. And same on Carly. Though with the mob boss though, I was thinking Tamra Braun. hehe. But I still felt she was Carly...not a stepwife. I didn't realize I missed this. I did notice. And it made me go hmmm. And Olivia DOES have experience hiding babies.

She always be deflecting.

@Cheap21 ikr!!! But someone mentioned in the comments that this was maybe filmed before Monique shattered her face at the reunion so she might have been with Pastor Holy Whore at that time. Not sure though.

RHOD And HERE...WE...GO... ETA: OOOOOoooo they included the Brandi Husband Video!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes for Tiffany coming for Brandi! And Helllll to the no, to the NOO, NOO, NOOOOOOOOOOO for Brandi and Kary trying to use the water works to get out of getting held to the fire. Ooooo yes. The good times!!! I wish someone had the WHOLE fight online cuz Candiace was dragging her at the start of the next episode too. OMG!!! I would soooo die if that happened. And I would totally be Team Degrees/Folded Napkins.

Dr. Wendy vs Gizelle? Wait? What?

That's really funny considering Monique's first bindertale reveal is about her. And she is STILL trying to make that storyline happen...?

BH Now Ex Soap Opera Star...THIS is what a friendship looks like. HAHAHAHA!!! LOVE THESE TWO!!!

lol. I admit...that was disjointed.

@Soaplovers to an extent or kept it in check.

THIS. LONG OVERDUE. Andy Cokehead is no longer objective enough to host.

Well, they are/were filming out so we probably are going to see it at the end of this season perhaps.

RHOA Well...I don't know where to start. First post after vaccination. Thank you to @Chris B for all that good sweet tea on the reunion and Mama Elsa. I knew about her illness, but did not know how much she was loved. I was a late comer to RHOM. So wow. Her awesomeness. Now RHOA...I thought Part 1 was surprisingly solid. However, knowing all the things the tea now on reunions...ENOUGH!!! The whole point of reunions other than recaps has been watching ALL OF IT!!! And lately, production on a lot of HW shows shows have been editing out the juicy stuff. Monique's binder on POTOMAC. More of the juicy details between Brownwyn and Shannon's accusation on OC. Now THIS? REALLY?!?? Smh. Let it breathe...and STOP PLAY FAVORITES!!! IF they are soooooooooooooo fierce, they can defend themselves. Part of the reason I did not mind problematic Kelly Dodd taking on Andy. Cuz someone needs to at this point. Drag that wannabe housewive trick. That said... KENYA. The very definition of 'if they are soooooo fierce, they can defend themselves.' And defend she did!!! Was it perfect? No. This is not Kenya's first rodeo. Compared to last year in fact, she was bringing (so far) her B game. It was funny for me that Porsha was picking on her for exactly what Kenya said on the show they pick on Kenya for. Interesting they have the SAME argument with each other. And I saw how she saw Drew was searching (and searching) for a moment and she DID...NOT...GIVE...HER...ONE. #unbothered I also find it funny that just like POTOMAC did not show Candiace's online stuff/live, they did not mention ALL Drew said about Kenya online either. Cover much? KANDI. Oops! Look at her throwing that shade at Drew about Ralph. lol. People keep saying that it has become more and more clear that Kandi does not seem to be feeling Drew anymore. Uh oh. CYNTHIA. The very definition of sitting pretty so far. DREW. The very definition of doing too much. I was like GIRL, BYE. The indigitation. The tag teaming with Porsha, making that alliance so clear. The Ralph. The fakery that Shady Phae Phae did better a la Christian woman. Girl, STOP!!! I was here for Latoya eating her up. I was surprised that Kandi chin-checked her. And I'm looking forward to Kenya staying on her neck. It...is what she deserves. PORSHA. So I saw the Live. And its contradictions. That said, she made so many good points with Kenya. Not that Kenya did not to her. For all of her doing much, much better for herself, she STILL has so much growing to do as well. I suspect if she would put forth an olive branch, Kenya might take it...depending on how she put it forth. Be the better person. But her slighting over every little thing (hint: owning you defended Kenya to Latoya rather than a slight would have been a good start ) was not helping. LATOYA. HIGHLIGHT!!! I lived for her eating Drew right on up. TBC indeed... So...good start. Well...for one...Ramona and Kenya already got into it and it was not even an HOUR into filming. Room fight allegedly.

Hehe. I saw. I liked.

RHOM Awwww...I never knew Mama Elsa got her own promo...

I agree to a reshuffle for sure, but I'll go against the grain and say Drew (who only good quality is her husband) and Latoya should have second season, Add ShebySheree to stir that pot, and make Cynthia a friend if she is coming back. And most importantly...A NEW PRODUCTION!!! And I am hollering at how Bravo is advertising POTOMAC all over!!! PS. Kudos to their production for keeping so many of their secrets underwraps. Light tea but nothing spilled yet. But if we wind up with 7 girls...GUUUURL. From where I started...it was pretty all right. So weird since I found the promo meh as well. Starting from the beginning now...

RHOA Sounds like it was a good start, though Andy Cokehead is at it again with the messy. That said...Latoya ATE...HER...UP!!!

And they BOTH went on to bigger things. Glad to see it.
