Before I die on this nuRHONY hill, I am going to check out the last season all over again. While I remember every minute of that astounding final episode, the rest of the season is a blur. (Rebecca Minkoff? Prankgate?). Nevertheless, I was pretty invested in nuRHONY last season and became even more invested when I realised how deeply Ubah was being gaslit by Brynn, and how damaged Brynn is. The stuff with Brynn is unresolved, and that's why I want another season -- to see where the rest of the cast go from here. It seems to have bonded them. 

I didn't realise WWHL guests had a strong reaction against nuRHONY. My thought was that the last episode + reunion might lead to nuRHONY's renewal, because that was when attention on it was at its peak.

 

As you know, there was that scene in the final episode where the entire Production crew are lounging around their babygirl Brynn, and as the other women wake up and head into the kitchen, they are greeted with that. The message couldn't have been more clear. Ubah was sent away to a hotel like she was the danger. There was no doubt in my mind that Brynn was Production's pet. Good for Raquel and Sai who refused to be intimidated.

Which is why I have argued that this Production crew (headed by you-know-who) need to be replaced.

This morning, I started to watch the season all over again, and within the first MINUTE, we got the flash-forward to the cast filming their opening shots, a few days after the cast trip. And one of these very same producers, still in his vacation shorts, is snarling at Ubah for taking time in hair and make-up. "I'm trying to get everyone ready on time," he snaps. Ubah snaps back at him. She is so over the BS. For the record, Brynn hadn't even arrived yet as she was uber-late. I didn't clock it at the time, but it hits me now how Production operated.

Very. 

 

Very reminiscent of what's going on RHOA with Porsha. They had to bring in Shady Phae Phae to get any buzz post-Kenya and I still don't think that will help it at all. Production clearly favor Brynn, and it might be the detriment of the show. I had hoped that it would come back because...for better or for worse...they got buzz for sure by the end. However, given that Brynn has been online with no remorse from what I can see...and now Sai's recent birthday where everyone was there BUT Brynn...it's very clear that everyone see her for the problem that she is and want no part of her. And sadly...Production just have no self-awareness of why it's in their best interest to cut bait. 

Andy Cohen said The Real Housewives of Rhode Island will give RHONJ a run for its money. Makes me wonder if there is a family and/or violent vibe to this series! I'm here for the family/close connections.

Also, doesn't look like we'll be seeing NYC in a long, long time:

So it's on pause.

 

And given what they said about 'reconfiguring' with the current cast...I still take that to mean that they are trying to find a way to keep Brynn.

I heard that they were cancelling RHONY. Is this true?

I read that Page Six article looking for a sliver of hope that nuRHONY would return -- and found none. They are hoping to 'reconfigure' it? That means a total reboot without the cast. It sounds like Bravo (a) hates the current cast, and (b) has no clue what to do with any incarnation of RHONY. Also, the quotes by a 'Bravo insider' sounded very Andy Cohenesque.

Yeah they definitely are backpedaling on what they want to do with NY.

I HATE HER! Drew is going through a divorce and she is MAKING UP rumors about her to make things worse. She's hyping Ralph up and throwing gas on this fire. Porsha needs her azz BEAT! I felt sorry for her before when it came to Simon but F her! I wiish he wasnt in ICE so that we could see him drag her in real tiime

First and foremost, f*ck Brit Eady always and forever (like the hit Heatwave song). I find her pointless on this show, and her Lavender Marriage solo scenes sicken me. Her husband could care less and loathes her as much as we all do. Get rid of this heaux, Bravo. 

Moving on, Angela Oakley... Muva. How you went from being the target to putting Shamea and Porsha back at odds--that chess move should be studied. You can tell that Angela is a student of Kenya's, but more methodical. Angela had me gagging tonight. It now makes sense why Phelony Parks will come for Angela when she arrives b/c she recognizes that Angela is threat. 

Did y'all hear that Juliet from Ladies of London might be one of the housewives on Real Housewives of London? Ick. I couldn't stand her. 

^I agree with you both.  Porsha showed her a$$ tonight. She brought out Ralph on purpose, just to get back at Drew, and it was so hypocritical. 

Angela is the best. I wish we had her seasons ago with Sheree, Kenya, Kandi, and even Nene. 

Brit, of course sucks, but she and her husband both chew their food with their mouths open and it was disgusting. 

I like Kelli, but we don't see her that much, we need more of her right now.

I have to admit this was one of my favorite episodes of the season. These felt new and moved smoothly, thanks to Angela. 

Why do I enjoy Drew's drama when other people are discussing, but when it's her, I zone out?

I will never celebrate two real friends falling out. I feel bad for Porsha and Shamea. It's been a long time coming, these conversations should've happened years ago. I hope they make it through. 

Porsha is a shitty friend there's no way around it. But, Shamea does play the victim a lot. 

Cynthia and Brit were plus ones in this episode, and I personally like Brit simmering in the background, she's not a lead, just yet, so I enjoyed it. Not Brit and Mike walking around nude all day, this fun couple, let me find out.

Kelli still my boo 🤩 That moment with her girls was incredibly sweet, they all big personalities too.

I have to disagree, I am glad we have her now, they need her right now! It's the perfect time.

IA with everyone that this was a truly entertaining episode. Angela,was the standout. What a find she is, talking about her marriage and the investment properties she can't sell. Contrast with Porsha who is so carefully curated with her image. A blind man could tell she set up that dinner with Ralph, ably abated by her lapdog Shamea. Angela got her revenge at that truly random Pampered event and her exposing both without getting her hands dirty was a masterclass. LVP would be proud. What I would give to see Nene with Angela. I don't know how the ratings are for RHOA, but Angela is giving this season drive IMO.

Seriously! Brooks was always very Malificent, thriving off the downfall of others, which was toxic. But clearly she had studied the RH and knew she had to be the chaos agent while Ayan knew to be the meme. Stanbury was the Queen Bee, Lesa was the insecure beauty, jealous of Stanbury's influence. Sara was my girl, fronting for her culture but hiding things. These women were flawed but I miss what they contributed. I wish he had a S3 to watch. I'd love to know how the Ayan/Lesa friendship survived, and why the Sara/Saba friendship went south. A month ago, Taleen, Stanbury and Ayan met up for lunch and posted on their social media, and it was nice to see some of the relationships still going strong.

I hope Garcelle and Camille both feel vindicated. Its a pity neither will be around when the fake robberies are surely exposed.

Like NY, it just feels like the wrong time to have them vanish/paused/cancelled/whatever because they had enough interest to the viewers to want to see what happens next. And in some cases like the situation with Brynn the fix for a new season is easily done...as long as Production does not play favorites.

 

Which it appears to be on the way to doing so...hehe. Meanwhile, Garcelle is at Met Ball pre-parties and Camille...is Camille aka RICH.

Reza’s level of toxicity is what made me drop Shah’s which I at one point genuinely loved. Him being rewarded to poison another Bravo show is just the typical stupidity I’ve come to expect for the network. Anywho it’s just another show I can skip thankfully.

I hope the new housewives show along with Ladies of London avoids young housewives and influencers. Please somehow get Stanbury to just rent a house in London for filming and get her back on my tv.

Same. I gave it a chance, but I never got over Reza's open hostility to that potential new gay guy who was more fabulous than he will ever be who wanted to join that group. And then what he did to his BFF...smh. And now he gets a show? Not even me being curious about what crazy GG is up to will make me watch.

 

I would rather they keep the same style as the old show in (better behaved) American Ex-pats mixing it up with people who come from a higher class than them. To see how the class system has changed in the last decade...if at all. I know my Henry James is showing. And yes, to a Caroline Stansbury (and Sophie) appearance.
