If it weren't for Ramona and Lu, I'd have already stopped watching. If they get rid of Ramona and keep Eboni and Leah, I'm out.

I agree that Blue Stone Manor was really the draw with Dorinda and I bet she thought Bravo would never risk losing out on the cray Bezerkshire episodes. This was one decision by Bravo I can get b

Unless whoever is running NBC and Bravo is a complete moron they should be able to figure out how to fix this show. Didn't the OC get rid of the two newest members and the one big liability? And they

I have all the seasons on DVD with the exception of the shit show that was Leah’s last season.  I never watched the new housewives past 3-4 episodes.  I’ll just do a rewatch of the OG women occasionally.  Bravo ruined my favorite show.  I appreciate the OG’s more than ever before.

I discovered RHONY late, but I fell in love with the show. It reminded me of Sex & the City seeing these female friends live their lives in New York City (a city I love to watch on TV if I can’t visit). The cast featured unique women. They were glamorous without being plastic like BH. They had organic drama and iconic scenes. It’s such a shame to just throw it all away and not do a cast shake-up instead. I appreciate the OGs more than ever too.

Also, unlike other real housewives shows, they dealt with an issue and it was done, versus it beating the topic to death. They also seemed to be the most comfortable in being themselves without an over abundance of filters and cosmetic surgery.

Bravo overcorrected on 5e issue of the day, found a bad representative to deliver that message and when it bombed due to their stupidity they cancelled the show….

I’ve said for years that Bravo doesn’t do actual market research but bases their decisions on Twitter posts and the “story of the day”

So Rebecca Minkoff is the one who got pregnant by someone other than their partner? How did I not know that??  I figured it was someone outside the circle, but a main (almost) castmember? I can't wait!

I actually thought the trailer looked boring, but this storyline looks juicy!

I wonder how much they will bring up Scientology?

The Dress Barn burn was epic.

It is probably Rebecca Minkoff who gave birth I think to her 4th child in 2023. It seems media outlets (well, gossip media) asked her if it was her, and she refused to answer.

This made me laugh. 

Quote

...Whitfield became part of the drama storm. On a recent Watch What Happens Live appearance, she didn’t hold back when she called Jeff Lewis a “pig.” This came after Jeff had said he wasn’t feeling Brynn explaining, “She acts like an oversexed teenager on the show,” he said. “Desperate for attention, flirting with other people’s spouses, partners, and even parents. I’ve said it before — I don’t like the act. And I’m not alone in thinking this; the audience is turning on her. You can’t argue with that. It’s the truth.”

...“I’m not really that affected by it,” Jeff said, his tone cool but pointed. “What I find interesting is if I called someone a pig, there would be a lot more backlash. I don’t think it was a very intelligent response.

Didn't Brynn roast someone (Ubah?) for calling her names? Take your own advice and use better insults

Oh Brynn.

Full Rolling Stone interview where she tries to spin the narrative (and dare I say paint herself as the ultimate victim).

Worst part, she claims to still be close with Erin, Jenna, Racquel when none of them have spoken to her in months. 

I do have empathy for her childhood & any sexual assault, it obviously helps explain her behavior. But..that doesn't give her permission to continually lie/embellish, especially when those lies/embellishments are targeted at or designed to hurt other people. 

Rather than spend time trying to get her version of the story out in the press, I wish she'd instead focus on therapy/her mental health.

Added: Lizzy Savetsky, who was originally cast for the reboot but quit, comes out in support of Ubah, sharing her issues with Brynn.

Jenna Lyons was on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday, after the season finale, and she said that none of the women talk to Brynn.

I forgot exactly what Jeff Lewis said about Brynn, so I googled it and found this.

LOL. Yes, Jeff Lewis. Of course, you were suggesting she had family money.

I wonder if the ending of the reunion gave Brynn a false perspective of where she stood with the other women and she felt comfortable again to spin her false narrative.

I thought it was pretty apparent that the reconciliation was more a matter of being sympathetic about her trauma in that specific place and time while not necessarily forgiving the crap she pulled.

And whatever inroads they thought they might have made about her accepting responsibility just blew up in the pages of Rolling Stone.  I just don't see any road forward with her and the rest of the cast and with the viewers.

But at the end of the day BRAVO is going to BRAVO.....
