Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

[Gray Bunny]

 ' Bravo fans may never get to see newest installation of “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.” Multiple sources tell Page Six exclusively that the network is considering tabling the Peacock spinoff following Caroline Manzo’s sexual assault allegations against Brandi Glanville. “‘Ultimate Girls Trip’ Morocco is probably never going to air, and now they are thinking about tabling ‘[RHONY] Legacy’ also,” one insider shares. “NBC is really pissed off because they feel like Bravo let [production company] Shed ruin multiple shows, ‘RHONY’ obviously [being one].” However, a source close to Peacock tells Page Six that “RHONY Legacy” will air as planned, while no official decisions have been made regarding “Ultimate Girls Trip.” ' 

Dang, things are really starting to crumble in the Housewives universe. Granted, it was bound to happen sooner or later, but perhaps Bethenny just OJ'ed the modern day soap opera and accelerated its downfall.

Predictions...

RHUGT: Morocco will never air.

RHUGT: RHONY Legacy, on the other hand, is going to air and it's going to be a success. I am willing to bet they are editing down Ramona's scenes right this second. 
 

MIAMI

Great start to the season.

RHOSLC:

While it's horrible that Monica had a horrible unbringing, my belief is that anything that happens before you're 18 is your parents fault.. and anything after 18 is your fault.  Monica should be in therapy and cut ties with her mother instead of having her mother around her kids.  

Also, I know people that had mothers/fathers like Monica's.. and they didn't cheat on their spouse with an inlaw, didn't get defensive anytime someone gives feedback, nor be so judgemental.

RHOBH:

Sutton is confused why she can't have a 2nd date... but I have a feeling she talks to her dates the same way she talked to her assistant... and if so, then I don't blame the men for ghosting her.

RUGT:

I mean why is anyone surprised that this franchise has gotten toxic?  You invite the likes of Brandi, Ramona, Kenya, and Gizelle onto these trips... of course, each season will be toxic.

 

Btw, I was rewatching season 1 of RHOBH and the one thing I noticed that was done back then was that there were episodes where the women weren't together.  They hung out with their own friends, their significant other, their kids, etc... unlike now where the women are together way too much.

[Taoboi]

AMEN.

Well tbf, they all on all shows STILL do. We just don't see all of it on screen. Like until recently, you could always count on Kyle to be hanging with Faye somewhere and posting a picture, Kandi and her mulitiple friends all over the world, etc. And lest's not forget Garcelle's scene with HER friend group two seasons back. 

 

If anything ....unlike Jennifer Tilly who I love seeing and hate when Production cut out her scenes...most RL friends appear to not want to film. Emphasis on appear. 

 

And then there's the groups where they ARE geniune friends on AND off screen, but that's another talk I believe.

I was watching the podcast of Nate Bargatze, who hosted the most recent SNL episode, and he mentioned that Dorinda was at the afterparty.

RHOM. What a treat to have this franchise back. The Miami locations. The colours. The real estate porn (the drone shots over Nicole and Anthony's new house!). The fashions. The beauty. The interactions between the women. The homegrown and individual dramas. From Alexia trying to find her way back into the audience's good books (and kind of abandoning Marysol), to Nicole's assurances about Guerdy's health to Guerdy, to Lisa and Larsa on the boat... the relationships between these women feel tight. The last 3 minutes of the episode reinforced that and set up the next few episodes. When will Guerdy start telling the other women about what she is going through?

On a very superficial note, I love Julia's haircut (and possibly a light facelift), Nicole's style, and Kiki's everything.

It's early days since the VF article came out earlier this week, so I could be very wrong, but I think the 'Bravo takedown' proved to be a damp squid. That surprised me because VF is a big-name publication which used to be known for its in-depth, gossipy reportages. They didn't get the breadth of HWs that they thought they would for this article. The Ramona reveal was already out there in the public domain -- Eboni has been talking about it for two years. Bethenny is already turning on the VF journalist which tells me that the article didn't land like she hoped and she's really about saving her 'brand'. As Eboni rightly pointed out in the article.

All this to say that I don't think Bravo/RHs is imploding on itself. Yet. It is in the midst of BravoCon fuelled by this gossip which is grist for the mill. I'm bummed that RHUGT Morocco got shelved (is that official BTW??) because I really wanted to watch it and make up my own mind. A combination of Brandi pushing it too far as usual and Caroline's scary lawyers did that. Ramona getting fired is a long-delayed reaction by Bravo, but RHUGT RHONY Legacy will still be screened.

I'm not sure RHs has been OJed and I'm not sure Bethenny has dealt it the death blow she claims she has. Rather the death blow will come from a precipitous decline in quality across the board, or a foolish, desperate change of format, and then the audience will rapidly abandon the shows. JMO.

DUBAI

SO it REALLY IS looking like Lesa and Chanel fell out. 

So was Season 2 a takedown season of Lesa then because she fell there by private jet (thanks hubby) and is not interacting with anyone, but promoting the second season.

 

And new HW Taleen...

 

[Cheap21]

The first season wasnt toxic. It was a breath of fresh air and overall light hearted. And that was with Ramona and Kenya. Its gotten dark now but most of the conflict on season 1 was superficial and not that deep

Thats Chris! aka cdiggi1 on YT. I feel so happy for him that he got to ask a question and it being shared/posted

[Liberty City]

ALL reunions for Bravo are expected to be uncensored on Peacock. Now, if only the shows themselves could become uncensored.

[Cat]

 

That's not the only feud:

OK, I'm ready for RHODubai to come back.  Even though there are too many RH shows (and M2M) coming back at once and I can't keep up.

[Taoboi]

Based off of Season 1 reunion, I expected Ayan and Sara to get into it. I'm sorry to say it now, but Sara is giving fake or doing the HW no-no...not being transparent. Most of this fight has already been posted (spoiler alert-it ends the episode where Sara did get some good shade in) and it just feels like Sara is lording her status over others. 

 

That said...as long as it's a petty feud...cuz this is all over BEYONCE (and I love how RHOM that scene looks)...to offbalance the REAL feud between Lesa and everyone...so secret that EVERYONE is talking about it...I'm down.

 

Have you seen the breathtaking confessionals yet?

Same old, same old with RHONY: Legacy. It’s comfort food, like a sitcom Christmas special. “It’s a comedy!”
