No, I don't think Bravo want to kill off these shows. I think Bravo believe this guy Michael Beck's hype. He's willing to start sh*t and film the ugly. ATL filming may have been unpleasant, but they certainly are throwing everything and the kitchen sink (aka Kim Zolciak Biermann) at these women.

 

Kenya has pushed back and refused to show some aspects of her life, and she is being punished for it. Now, I personally think that when you sign a contract promising to expose your life, you have to stick to it. Kenya did mine her painful family history and a borderline-abusive relationship on RHOA. She also wasn't averse to turning the spotlight on the other HWs and exposing the lie in Phaedra's marriage with Apollo. Now she is playing coy, and I understand why. I understand that she views her new relationship as 'the real thing' and wants to protect her marriage at all costs. 

 

Beck and Bravo are not in the mood to acquiesce to her demands in case it sets a precedent with the other HWs. So Beck is playing hardball and I think Bravo views that and the sh*t-stirring as an asset. And that it should be brought to other shows.

 

The irony is that RHONY, which he is currently EPing has its own nice rhythm and this year in particular has a lot of organic drama that happened outside of the scripted stuff (Luann's Christmas Eve meltdown). And of course Bobby passed away last week. OC and BH are more in need of resuscitation IMO.

 

 

Here are his recent credits: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcbeck/

 

He worked his way up the ranks at Tardy For The Party it seems, and was also involved to some degree in M2M sesaon 3 and M2M Houston. He was a supervising producer on Southern Charm Savannah which... is not the original SC, lol. He was also a supervising (not executive) producer on Dallas Season 2. The latest seasons of Tardy, ATL and NY are where he has been promoted to co-EP. So... maybe we can surmise that he wants to prove his worth to Bravo this year.

 

Andrew Hoegl is credited as being EP for NYC last year. Barrie Bernstein, Lisa Shannon, Pam Healy and Andy Cohen were his co-EPs. According to IMBD, he is a long-time producer who started out in MTV's Real World (New Orleans and Hawaii versions). He also EPed High School Reunion (lol) and Jeff Lewis's flipping/home improvement shows. He is credited as EP for Real Housewives of Dallas in 2016 (its first season unfortunately) and EP of RHoNY from 2015 to 2017, the last three seasons. 

Loved New Orleans and Hawaii RW seasons, and Flipping Out is my favorite Bravo show, so I’ve apparently been watching that guys work for ages.

Also wanted to ask, why the hell is it so hard for the newbies to not suck when it comes to their second season? I mean come on, have these ladies never watched any of the other seasons of these shows? Dorit is working on this being her last season. 

BH:

Dorit, Teddi and the HWs talking about LateGate for the rest of this season?

 

Dorit, Teddi and the HWs talking about glassware for the rest of the season?

 

Dorit single-white femaling Erika?

 

The Dorit Show?

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.

I just watched BH and my thoughts on Dorit

 

Not a shocker, but Siggy is literally is the worst.  I'm so glad she's gone.

Teresa calling Kim D as a madame?

 

Melissa: "You couldnt get a man like Joe Gorga if you were the last whore in America." I loved the solidarity of the two teaming up on Kum D

 

Lord have mercy, Siggy should have taken the L and STFU. I loved that Andy was on Margaret's side and called Soggy out

LOL, now we know y Soggy go buh bye!

Luann was officially charged with a felony - faces up to 5 years in prison!!!

Once she told Andy that she didn’t give a [!@#$%^&*] how he felt about the Hitler, it all started to make even more sense. Thank god, I will never have to watch batshit Soggy ever again. It was amusing and hypocritical how Siggy/Dolores were assholes about Danielle having Marge’s back when literally Dolores refused all season to ever once acknowledge any wrong doing by Siggy. It will be interesting to see what she does next season without Siggy. I don’t buy for a second that she actually likes Teresa.

Melissa’s jab about Kim was the best thing about that awful reunion.

 

Siggy is terrible. Thank goodness she’s gone. Now she can fade away into obscurity where she belongs.

I hope this is just a formality of the court system, and not an actual indication that prison is where she is heading! 

 

Honestly, this is not a Teresa-defrauds-banks situation. Luann doesn't belong 5 years or even 5 minutes in the pokey. Fines, community work, formal apologies to the hotel and police officers involved would suffice, surely? MSN calling it a 'drunken rampage' is a little much. She didn't maim or kill anybody, or even attempt to.

Followed closely by Siggy defending Kim D with "Did Kim D build the concentration camps?" and Teresa squeaking "WE DON'T KNOW! WE DON'T KNOW!"  Kim D saved Reunion tbh. As shady, dirty and toxic as she is, Kim D has a twinkle in her eye and knows exactly how the game is played, and that is enjoyable to watch for its own sake. I felt even Teresa lowkey enjoys sparring with her. 

 

Siggy is probably the worst HW of all time (and that's saying something after OC Peggy this year)... I wonder if she has even delivered the death knell to the NJ franchise (although ratings apparently went up for Reunion Part 1 --  to 1.39mn). Siggy seems to be on Twitter all day long having meltdowns about Margaret and Bravo. She really has lost it, big time.

Interestingly, Luann’s court date today was cancelled and neither her lawyer, nor the DA’s office would return calls to the NY Post.

 

That would suggest, to me at least, that a plea deal is being worked out. As it should be. Luann didn’t even do a DUI. There are a million better ways she can atone rather than doing a minute in jail. Community service, paying restitution, a donation to the police benevolent fund, and making formal apologies to the hotel and the police will accomplish a lot more than jail ever would.

Kim D. Def saved the reunion. She knows the role Bravo wants her to play and she’s played it perfectly for almost a decade now.

Kim D is the white Marlo for NJ
