Not only to test the waters but also possibly put the fear in Ramona to prepare for contract negotiations offering a lower salary. Also not ruling out a play for better ratings. I always thought that advertising fees are based upon those numbers. I definitely think there is a reason for something like this to "leak". It's not unusual. Just recently I remember hearing that some of the Jersey cast was axed but that apparently was false. Regardless of politics or leanings, the one thing I do believe is that Bravo is going to make decisions primarily based on $$. Good points. I also think Bravo makes casting decisions based on $$, but I can't help but think that now-a-days, that means so much more than just viewer numbers. Social media, etc. Just look at all of us talking up a storm about Ramona casting rumors. I would love to see their $$ formulas! I also think Bravo has an eye to the future. They're thinking a few seasons ahead necessarily. So, while there may be those who dislike Leah and Eboni in the current context of the show, there may be some logic in keeping them if the show is revamped for more of a downtown vibe (which I've read is likely to happen). 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/48/#findComment-6891229

Per the bolded: and what direction would that be? Boring, un-fun, preachy? No one watches any of the Housewives franchises for real world politically correct news and events. We're all watching for the chaos, the real estate, the vacations, the egos that offer an escape from our everyday lives. We're here to be entertained. We want Scary Island and Turtle Time, Herman Munster shoes, the Bezerkshires. These women are supposed to be somewhat out of touch because if they weren't, they wouldn't be on Housewives. And if Bravo can keep RHONJ's Teresa who went to prison and RHOBH's Erika who may be following suit, they don't really have room to be high on their morals. At least keep the energy consistent.

Nothing is perfect. No one is ever going to be 100% satisfied with a piece of art or entertainment in whatever form it comes in. There's always going to be something that bothers someone.

I wonder if the fan reaction to the news of Ramona's supposed firing has gotten the attention of the execs (in addition to low ratings). Eboni is a fucking drag. All you need to do is look at how Garcelle adds to RHOBH. She's had a good discussion with Kyle on harmful stereotypes and how that made her feel. And then is a great time. There's a way to talk about the obvious oppression that has occurred and racial issues without it being what happened RHONY. But would they fire Eboni after one season?

65mickey July 15, 2021 Share July 15, 2021 I can't believe that Eboni even as arrogant as she comes across is stupid enough to demand that anyone be demoted on this show. Andy is a big fan of Leah but she is not Bethenny, and if he is convinced that she is dragging the ratings down he may have to cut her loose. Eboni will not be fired this year. If she wants to stay she will gt another year I believe unless she refuses to rein in the race and political lectures. Sonja better watch herself. Andy always referred to Dorinda as a fan favorite and look what happened to her. Whoever is responsible for the casting this year needs to be fired. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/48/#findComment-6893211
Chit Chat July 15, 2021 Share July 15, 2021 28 minutes ago, Feech said: She said these “white women were allowed to have this show and she was going to change it.” She certainly sounds like she has a giant chip on her shoulder. I got tired of her little rants about "white women this, and white women that" and on and on. It's really offensive. Andy's a dolt if he can't figure out what the problem with this show is. To Eboni: These kinds of shows aren't the gold standard to which you should be striving to be a part of. It's a shitfest, but one that a lot of us have a lot of fun following and snarking on. I don't need you to preach your agenda to me. Might I suggest that you write a book, or do some kind of meaningful documentary as to your issues with our society, and leave these kinds of shows to us viewers who just want an escape from our day, not a lecture. I don't need to be told that "WE" need to do better. No, I do just fine. Just let me watch my damn show in peace!! I wish she and Leah hadn't ruined it for me. 20 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/48/#findComment-6893222

Then frame it as a generational issue and that they’re getting the band back together. Hello, Jill/Carole/Dorinda. Cobble together some 1/2 hour BS show for Leah and Eboni and call it a day.

Feech July 15, 2021 Share July 15, 2021 Maybe they can trade Eboni to RHOA for Cynthia. That would be good for both franchises. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/48/#findComment-6893250

Jextella July 15, 2021 Share July 15, 2021 (edited) This is all so wierd. Eboni was on WWHL awhile ago (when things were still remote) and she said that Luann is the only one she doesn't see socially. And when Sonja and Leah were on WWHL earlier this month, I thought Andy said Leah, Eboni and Ramona where hanging out. I wonder if something has changed. I could easily do without a reunion this season. In fact, I'd rather have the show be more "getting along and having fun" through the season and just doing a mini season wrap up. Leah demanded a larger salary to come back for her second season and got it. I can easily see Eboni making demands. She may very well get them. But, Eboni and Leah better be careful what they ask for. RIght now, they kind of stand out against the older women. Replace the OG's with women of Eboni's and Leah's age and they'll just be fishes in the sea and honestly, in NYC, there are loads of far more accomplished women than these two. Leah and Eboni could easily turn into the guppies of the show.

Whatever happened to those Princesses of Long Island, or whatever that show was. Shouldn't they be "housewife" age by now? I suppose they're too white but ANY of them would fit better than Eboni and her lectures, and it would be fun to watch Leah's head explode having to deal with them, though I prefer her gone too. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/48/#findComment-6893827
Jextella July 15, 2021 Share July 15, 2021 I've been waffling on Leah for awhile, but I think I've figured it out. Last year, I enjoyed her (for the most part) & thought she was fun and interesting. This year, peeling away the drunken antics layer, what remains isn't all that great. She's whiny and judgmental and a bigger know-it-all than Heather. And I don't find any of her observations to be interesting or compelling. She really doesn't add much intellectual or entertainment value to the show. She's more of an annoyance than anything. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/48/#findComment-6893829
RedDelicious July 15, 2021 Share July 15, 2021 I’m surprised Eboni hasn’t been making appearances with Al Sharpton. It would be worth it just to hear KKB say “Al Sharpton!!” and actually be right. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1875-real-housewives-in-the-media/page/48/#findComment-6893861
