No Housewives Style Reunion?

I just watched the 'Watch What Happens Live' episode Caroline was on and they said there's no Ladies of London reunion.

Is anyone else a little gutted we won't get to see a showdown?

Not surprised that there is no reunion. This show was such a dud, imo, and it really shouldn't have been. I hope this show recasts everyone except for Caroline. If RH of Miami can get chance after chance, this show should, too.

Seriously!! I'm in shock over how poorly this show did, especially considering it'd gathered quite a little fanbase and some of the "Ladies" even appeared on WWHL afterwards.

But then again, I remain baffled over the success of newer shows like "Below Deck" and "Blood, Sweat & Heels" while I'm *still* bemoaning the failure of "Gallery Girls", so obviously I'm just not the best judge of how these shows catch on.

Still, one would've thought the idea of a light and lively version of the Housewives set in London would've gone over better, you dig?

I am still bitter Gallery Girls was cancelled after one season! I'm still hoping AC brings it back. I also love Ladies of London. I'll do you one better, I really liked The Real Housewives of DC, but cannot for the life of me get into Miami. Do I guess I'm also in the "what do I know?" club.

I really enjoyed this show and am surprised it was such a ratings dud, especially with RHOOC as a lead in. I also liked The Real Housewives of DC and cannot undertand the appeal of Below Deck at all. i did kinda get into Blood Sweat and Heels, but I much prefer Ladies of London. I ended up loving Caroline, which is certainly the last thing I had expected based on previews.  

I don't think it will be renewed though. I think that whether or not there is a reunion seems to be the basic sign on renewal. They had one for Blood Sweat and Heels, Below Deck and Southern Charm and they have all been given a second chance in spite of so-so ratings.

I'm wondering if the show was considered a dud though going in.  It had that really weird preview show that was basically a bunch of "first looks" smashed together in a jittery mess.  Julie was promoted as one of the Ladies and yet had a nebulous odd friend type status.  I wonder if some or most bailed on doing anything even remotely like a second season once it was filmed and before it was given its final edit and the network knew they were going to have to bled the show off.  I can definitely see Marissa, Caroline, Julie and even Juliet signing on for chance to expand their public images and have some fun.  And at the end have no regrets but no wishes to let cameras get in any further. 

 

There was definitely an oddness to the show from the start.  And I noted that it did not get the real push other new shows do.  According to an adspot quote about another show on TWOP before it closed LoL was the lowest promo'd show apparently.  I'm guessing your average BRAVO viewing slut (shamefully raises hand) probably thought the show was promo'd in the normal manner.  But it was not pushed on other associate networks like other shows Below the Deck for instance.  So I think it was a fail fail.  It didn't garner enough grass roots viewing to cause any type of swell which easily could have been the result of just not grabbing people and holding them.  But I also think it never generated enough interest from the start.

 

I liked it just fine and wish it would come back.  But since this is BRAVO and I are in a co-dependent abusive relationship where BRAVO beats me up and I rail against it and say I'll leave and then never do?  (in this case this show was like BRAVO coming home saying how sorry it was and giving me flowers then tenderly stroking the black eye that was Southern Charm and saying it will never happen again)

 

I know I'm going to get battered again by the likes of pieces of shit Shahs, and Thomas the Turd Ravenal and all the other shows that feel they have to create drama that doesn't exist.

 

Meanwhile I'll imagine slash fiction that involves Caroline and Marissa going around all the other Reality Shows and shutting down their shrill contrived toxicity.  Nest week Caroline goes to the OC and verbally guts Heather Dubrow and then with a clipped riposte tears her head off and pours "champs" down her throat.  While Marissa steps in front of Heather's husband Terry and snips off his growingly shrill manic delight at DRAMA.

I have no idea what more viewers could want-we even got a shot of Prince Charles and Camilla at the polo match the ladies attended!  I would have liked a lot more house/real estate porn-like that insanely adorable cottage Annabelle was recuperating in, and more high end shopping craziness.  

 

HeebieJeebie, you didn't like Southern Charm?  That's my favorite reality show in YEARS, ever since the greatest television show ever stopped airing, Rock of Love.  (I'm totally serious).  I wasn't surprised at all that SC got a second season, but I got the feeling that since Ladies of London got the same treatment that 100 Days of Summer did (no reunion, short season, over a year old footage), it was unlikely to get renewed.  I'm still bitter that Bravo hasn't come up with something better in terms of reality shows in Chicago-I think Vince and his merry band of douchebags cursed the city.

Was that Camilla? I thought it was Charles with his horse.

 

I liked Southern Charm but it did have to grow on me, but even at the end I did not like it anywhere near as much as Ladies of London. I am sorry to see it go.

One thing I loved was that even when they had their insane arguments, they did so calmly, with hardly any shrieking. Tata Ladies!

 

& that's why it probably won't be renewed.

You and I need to sit by each other on the bus because I still miss Rock of Love.  I even blogged about that show while it was airing.  You simply could not ask for a better show to bust out the popcorn and snark on.  Sniff.  Oh Rock of Love, I still mourn for you. 

 

I will be disappointed if this show doesn't return.  London (all of England, actually) is on my bucket list and I watched LOL to see bits and pieces of it.  I absolutely love Caroline and want to be Caroline.  She most definitely needs to return.  And we need to see what Noelle is going to do once Scot either dumps her or she finds out the "flawless" diamond he gave her is CZ.

Well hello new BFF!!!  OMG, there were so MANY things to love about that show.  My cousins and I died for it, and I was telling them this weekend that Breaking Bad was the best TV show I'd ever seen, and one of them (seriously) asked "Better than Rock of Love?" and I had to answer, "Yes, BETTER, but definitely less entertaining."  LOL.  

 

I adore London too, and would love to see more of this show, only because it does have that foreign factor that makes it unique in the Bravo lineup.  Caroline is reality TV gold-she's pretty, wealthy, connected, snarky, and nice enough that you don't hate her.  I want more Brits if there is another season, though.  Perhaps more Sandwiches and less Yankee Doodles.

Rock of Love was must see-appointment tv for me.  I watched it live but recorded it as well so that I could rewatch and then blog about it.  Nothing is better than waiting week after week to see if Bret's bandana will come off without taking the hair with it.  And to hear him talk about his DI-a-BEE-tus while he's chugging back alcohol.  I still say "Whassa goin' on?" although very few people get it. 

 

I agree with your assessment of LOL.  More Brits.  Surely they can find a British wackadoodle who is totally obsessed with the royals, right?  Given how Lady Sandwich dresses, I'd love to see what her house looks like.

Seriously, wanna be friends forever?  I say "Whassa goin' on?" all.the.time. and no one understands.  No one, I tell you!  And his pronouncement of diabetes was the cherry on top of a gloriously skank filled sundae.  Also, when people ask me why I'm still single (because, you know, it's their business), I always say "a stripper broke my heart."  I like that every season featured at least 1 date in a strip club.  Because, you know, classy.  The weirdest thing that no one ever believes me about is what a nice guy Bret Michaels seemed to be.  I mean, yes, he banged probably all of them, but he didn't treat them like trashy whores.  It was kind of refreshing in a weird white trash way.

 

I liked Lady Sandwich's dress at Caroline's dinner. I'm really just trying to contribute to the LOL conversation so we can continue to gossip about Rock of Love.  LOL

We are officially friends forever because I am stealing your line about "a stripper broke my heart" the next time I get asked why I'm single.  It is genius.

 

The strip club dates were uber-klassy although I also thought a date at a tattoo parlor (getting BRET inked on your neck) as well as having another ho-testant lick a shot off your body while you lie on a bar was really demonstrating how a lady should behave in public. 

 

It's funny because I always liked Bret during the show (and still do).  Normally I would think he was a total d-bag and feel nothing but disgust but . . . I guess things are different with Bret and his Bandana.

 

I think Lady Sandwich looked fairly good at Caroline's dinner party although I do question if England has a shortage of conditioner or not.  Clearly Caprice should have gone to the etiquette class because she was VERY late.

 

All would have made for a great reunion show IMO.  Annabelle could have McQueened us, Noelle could have busted out her faux British accent, who knows what crazy Juliet would have worn and Caroline and Caprice could have had it out.  I guess Marissa could have been the mediator?

Oh God, I could quote RoL quotes all damned day---my favorite ones being:

"Don't threaten me with a good time."

"People who eat basil are lame!"

((Blondetourage 4eva!))

"Your daughter is a slut!"

"Oh my Hell!"

"I may be a Southern lady, but I manhandled that bitch!"

"If we put our boobs together, we can think better."

Yes, if you ask me, television has sincerely suffered since "Rock of Love" went off the air.

No offense to "Ladies of London," but I'd take those skanks over these social-climbing prudes any day of the week.

OMG! Rock of Love was the best dating show ever! The poem written on the back of the STD symptoms sheet from the free clinic made my life! So good.

Anyway. I really liked LoL. Great eye candy, moderately intelligent women fighting over baby showers, horses. The whole thing was great for me. I'm surprised it didn't get more love, but then I loved Gallery Girls and was devastated that it didn't get a second season.

I'm really disappointed there isn't a reunion, though I would hate to have to sit through Wonk-Eyed Cohen's idiocy for another hour of my life.

 

However there are so many unanswered questions.  First was why so many of the women had no family on the show in many ways.  Julie's husband was non existent except in title.  Caroline has siblings I believe.  The Hermers are a healthy sized clan.  I guess for a short one off show it makes sense to keep it simple.  But still it was a bit odd compared to some of the first seasons of the Housewives shows with extended family being introduced to ground the characters as it were.

 

I'm interested in who took care of Marissa's son.  Did we see either of the help that Marissa or Juliet possibly employ for child care?  Marissa might have eager Hermer grandparents and maybe Gregor and Matt both took up some slack.  But unlike Caroline we never really saw much of the inner workings in the US women's houses.  Heck we saw very very little of Marissa's little boy.

 

I want to know the timing of the events.  Because there is all kinds of odd events versus the dates known.  Caprice claiming that her surrogate could go any day seems at odds with her own attempts to make press in LA where she talks as if it was a scheduled induced labor.  Which makes all kinds of sense since the famewhore had to straddle her broom to get six times zones west for the birth.  Plus I think production would want as much control over an otherwise natural event since they had a camera crew along.  When I followed the one wiki link, I find people who had a British reality presence on TWOP vis-a-vis UK Big Brother and the Get Me Out of Here shows, seem to think Caprice jumped the gun declaring both pregnancies.  If the surrogate gave birth in August, why did Caprice tweet and then remove an announcement SHE was pregnant in the end of Oct.  2012.  Then apparently was dropping hints in December again that SHE was pregnant?  I wonder if the carefully fed to the tabloids story was not just her milking attention but her trying to recraft the narrative.  Especially the whole "no no, I'm pregnant NOW it was always the surrogate who was pregnant...for almost eleven months it seems.  Phoney.

 

It was also odd that there were scenes of what looked like the Audi International with Charles and his British Bulldog but that was the end of July I believe.  Not the end of August.  And yet they talked about Caprice as if she had her own baby by that time.    Though Beaufort Polo Club is pretty much a social gathering spot so maybe it was the end of year event which is held in Sept. 

 

Still I think Caprice was full of shit about the surrogate being dilated and ready to go.  I think she knew damn well she was scheduled to fly to LA by such and such a date and that she was just trying to use more babies as shield in her march of the Fecund Martyr.  She figured Caroline wouldn't go after her because of all the stress and how her spermed eggs were just too sacred of a concern to not let her get the last word.  And the next to the last word.  And pretty much every word before that. 

 

If we had to suffer Annabelle I wish we could hear more about what she is up to in the fashion world no matter how contrived rather than watch her piss herself on her horse before The Fall and watch her grind her "broken pelvis" (i.e. THE SECOND WORST KIND OF RIDING ACCIDENT" by drooping her frame into crutches I have to believe she borrowed from someone who actually needed them.  The amount of sinews and nerve damage such usage of that type of support with the injury she claimed (I'm guessing she bruised her tailbone and maybe cracked something in her one foot) was almost laughable.  But Annabelle's one value as associate of the haute toity set with faded supermodels, drugs and rock and roll periphery and the tawdry yacht set could launch several seasons all on its own and we got none of that. 

 

I'd like to know when Marissa was pregnant and during what events (again it seems odd in timing as I'm almost positive she was pregnant when she had it out with Juliet at the inn.  Not because of the emotions but simply due to the fact that she was always wearing dresses that draped flowed or even when fitted hid the belly  and because it looks like she was drinking ginger ale when the rest were drinking champage and rose).  If she gave birth at the start of the year then she had to be three months pregnant there abouts?  By the end of the show she would be far enough along for the rest to know I suspect.  I wonder if it was considered a non topic because it either threatened Caprice's oh so dramatic storyline or because Marissa just didn't want to become an ancillary element to Caprice having the most salacious and everyone must know every detail whelping.

 

I'd also like to know how many champagne flutes Marissa and the cute waiter sent to the grass.

 

ETA:

 

The reason I think it was Charles at the Audi international was because Boujis held a big after party event that my sister went to and I still have a pic or two of her with someone famous I'm suppose to know and still don't.

"Word on the street" is that the ladies (save Caprice and Noelle) are reuniting and currently filming another season. Caroline's sister in law is one of the rumored new ladies and Julie Montague, Viscountess Hnchingbrooke, has been filming with them as well. They were recently in Denmark.

Wow, that's awesome news!  I'm in.  Well, we know why Noelle won't be there.  Can't say I'll miss her in the least.  But why no Caprice?  Hey, I'm not complaining.  She was absolutely insufferable.  Her phoniness could only be matched by maybe (just maybe) Kyle Richards.  But I'm curious why a big fame-ho like Caprice would leave this thing.  Gotta be some reason she's gone.
