AnnA April 6, 2015 Share April 6, 2015 (edited) If Yolanda bows out for health reasons-and I do see a remission in her future about mid June, I can see Kim being dropped. I think it depends if Kim gets off her duff and comments about the show after the season is over. If Bravo is being told she is taking care of sick Monty and she is on vacation, they may not want to deal with her. Same with her mentally ill child and the vicious dog-how much can they deal with for a marginal person like Kim. I think the law suit will have the greatest impact on Bravo. That's not something they want to deal with and so far, Kim's friend hasn't backed down. She might if Kim offered her a settlement but I doubt Kim has the money to do that.

LotusFlower April 6, 2015 Share April 6, 2015 It wouldn't be Kyle's fault but Kim would blame Kyle for not going to bat for her with Bravo. Aside from that, Kyle may not want to deal with the fallout if that happens. That's why I think we're stuck with the Bichard Sisters. I don't think Kyle has that kind of power with Bravo. If they want to dump Kim but keep Kyle, that's their decision, and I think Kyle likes the gig too much to protest. And frankly, with their relationship being at an all-time low, why would she? In fact, I'm sure she'd be grateful if that's how things shake out. And if she gets unfounded or unfair grief about it from Kathy (I can't think who else would blame her), that appears to be more of the same. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20277-casting-speculation-wish-list/page/4/#findComment-1004555
Aunt Kiki April 6, 2015 Share April 6, 2015 Well she got the job because of Kyle, she kept the job because of Kyle, in spite of being a drunk and skipping out of rehab, she had attacked about half the cast and now she is on shaky ground because she has zero loyalty to her sister. The only family member I think would be upset is Kathy Hilton and she seems to be busy with her friend LaToya Jackson on some reality show. I think the rest of the family is upset with seeing the sisters battle it out on TV. I think Kim is expecting a windfall when Monty passes or an excuse not to work on RHOBH due to a prolonged mourning period and will give her an excuse not to work. Kathy Hilton was also Charlie Sheen's ex-wife's (the druggie one) 'support system' on some other reality show a few years ago - a total failure. Now she's LaToya Jackson's friend. Hmm - why not be the support system to your own addict sister off camera. And not judge your other sister. Jeesh. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20277-casting-speculation-wish-list/page/4/#findComment-1004571

I agree Lotus Flower - at one point I think she was in a more favorable power position, but I think her sister's antics over the years weakened her power. For me, if Kyle were to insist they were a package deal, then buh-bye Kyle, Kathy is smart enough to get that Kim screwed herself out of a job all by herself - she understands the Hollywood game - so if she's perverse enough to blame Kyle for it, then she's as vile as Kim is. And if Kyle is stupid enough to put on the hairshirt - then she's learned nothing from this clusterf*ck situation. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20277-casting-speculation-wish-list/page/4/#findComment-1004609

Sites like Tamra Tattles or Stoopid HW's, who are always running old clips or interviews, would have uncovered this by now, especially since there has been so much talk all season long about how Kim and Kyle are a package deal. It is the equivalent of the story over on the NJ show about how the Gorga's sent in some tape promising to "take down" Teresa.

I keep waiting for Bravo to give us the ultimate present by firing Brandi's obnoxious ass and hope we won't be kept in suspense for too much longer. I'm preparing myself to be disappointed but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that Brandi will be sacked. I know better than to hope that the RumRaisin will get canned but I still feel that it's possible that people are correct in thinking that maybe LisaR was brought on as a kind of replacement for Brandi.

I remember last year that Carlton said she was never told by Bravo that she wasn't coming back, they just never contacted her about a contract. I wish that they would bring in someone who is just bat-shit crazy. Someone who possesses zero self-awareness, but fits in with the cast. I am thinking of someone like a Ramona or a Vicki. Now, I detest both of these gals to my core, but I love to snark on them. They fit in socially with the rest of the cast as far as their homes, careers, etc., but they have zero ability to edit themselves or alter their behavior for TV. They just cannot because they cannot self-reflect in any manner, even after seeing themselves on TV for years. I like both Kyle and Lisa and think they are the center of the show, but they are both too self-aware and concerned with how they are perceived to ever truly let themselves go.

Avaleigh April 22, 2015 Author Share April 22, 2015 “I just tell them I’m acting. I think one day they will understand that I’m a single-mom: I pay the rent, we have nice things, they go to a nice school, and I do it all myself. If I didn’t misbehave on television, I’m not sure how I would be paying those bills.” The kids are in public school, right? Also, when she was hired and first enjoyed her success on the show, I don't think most people who had a positive response to her then necessarily did so because of her misbehavior. For me personally I remember feeling bad for her during Game Night, I thought she was well behaved when Kim got in her face at Kyle's White Party, and she was the person who made the comments about Taylor and Russell that had been made by many viewers. Brandi is probably right though with her comments about the strong ratings for the show. They got a big boost because of the drama at Poker Night and the ratings spike for that following episode wasn't for Eileen, LisaR, and LisaV. Unfortunately, Kim and Brandi were the main reason the night went to hell and had more people than usual tuning in. The episode that followed Poker Night was the highest rated of the season apart from the first part of the reunion. It's sad to say but I'm pretty sure that Brandi and Kim are both going to be rewarded for their bad behavior by being asked back. I hope the show at least tries to bring on a new friend this year. Anything to take the attention away from those two. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20277-casting-speculation-wish-list/page/4/#findComment-1063881
quinn April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 (edited) Brandi is lying off the bat when she said, "they had the best ratings ever," season 5 barely edged out season 4 and season 4 was the lowest rated season of the series. My take is that I don't see Kim and Brandi as a package deal and think that Brandi is more vulnerable because other key cast members want nothing to do with her. FYI (from Reality Tea): season 5 average – 1.84 season 4 average – 1.827 season 3 average – 1.967 Edited April 22, 2015 by quinn 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20277-casting-speculation-wish-list/page/4/#findComment-1063948
LotusFlower April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 Brandi is probably right though with her comments about the strong ratings for the show. They got a big boost because of the drama at Poker Night and the ratings spike for that following episode wasn't for Eileen, LisaR, and LisaV. Unfortunately, Kim and Brandi were the main reason the night went to hell and had more people than usual tuning in. The episode that followed Poker Night was the highest rated of the season apart from the first part of the reunion. It's sad to say but I'm pretty sure that Brandi and Kim are both going to be rewarded for their bad behavior by being asked back. Everybody said the same thing about Aviva last season on RHONY, cuz she was in the center of all the drama, and the ratings spiked when she brought the crazy. But they showed her the door. Just giving you a reason to hope! 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20277-casting-speculation-wish-list/page/4/#findComment-1066504
LIMOM April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 To fill Brandi's and Kim's spot I vote for bringing back Camille and Joyce. In case Yolanda is either a friend or gone, I would bring a newbie for her. I liked the secrets revealed tennis scenes at Camille's, along with seeing that chef. I would like to see Joyce come back and not be gaslighted by Brandi. Joyce deserves a second chance. As for a newbie, please not Denise! I want glamour, not her. Not sure about Suzanne. Does she lead a glamorous life?Yes, Joyce was interesting and was a good addition. Adrienne could fill in, she has so much going on.Suzanne Sommers? Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20277-casting-speculation-wish-list/page/4/#findComment-1067605

Almost 3000 April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 Marilu Henner was the bartender on WWHL recently. She's kinda of a pistol but in her sixties so might be a bit old. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20277-casting-speculation-wish-list/page/4/#findComment-1068551
Satchels of gold April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 Please I will take Lassies great great great grand dog before Brandi. Her last blog did sound like a farewell so I hope the rumors are true. I've quit NJ and Atlanta for much less ! I'm having a hard time getting in the swing with NY. It seems that after this season with BH I'm just burnt out on housewives. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20277-casting-speculation-wish-list/page/4/#findComment-1068926
prettybird April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 Camille would be great because she brings the house porn & can show some attitude. I would also love someone on the younger side.

Avaleigh April 23, 2015 Author Share April 23, 2015 I'm having a hard time getting in the swing with NY. It seems that after this season with BH I'm just burnt out on housewives. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I typically love New York, it's easily my second favorite after Beverly Hills, but I'm finding it hard to catch up. Hopefully I'll have some time to binge watch because I feel like I've already forgotten what happened in the premiere and I haven't even seen the latest ep. Drama with BH has kind of side tracked New York a bit for me I'll admit. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if Kim hadn't gotten arrested--of course I had to go and read about that shit lol. I'm having more fun reading people's comments on the episode anyway. And just to yank this post back on topic I'll throw out a couple of other names as casting suggestions. Elizabeth Berkeley. Handsome husband and one toddler age son. Around Brandi's age. Kelly Rutherford. Supposedly she needs the money. Maybe that would make it easier for her to see her kids in France with the bonus of making more people aware of her custody issues. Same age as Kyle. Kristina Wagner. Used to be married to Jack Wagner, she's been on General Hospital off and on for a long time, her kids are grown, I think, so maybe she'd be interested in trying something new. She's about Kim's age so in between Kyle and Eileen. Rebecca Gayheart. Married with two kids, her past has plenty of...material for lack of a better way to put it so there's a potential drama factor here. She doesn't seem to have worked much in the past six years or so. She's about a year older than Brandi. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20277-casting-speculation-wish-list/page/4/#findComment-1070154
zoeysmom April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 Rebecca Romijn would be a good addition-her husband likes the RH they do live in Calabasas so that might be a problem. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20277-casting-speculation-wish-list/page/4/#findComment-1073225
bromosexual April 27, 2015 Share April 27, 2015 IF Brandi and Kim stay then I hope they bring back/in Joanna Krupa. Joanna isn't afraid to play in the mud and would most definitely destroy Brandi and Kim when they start slinging their bullshit. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20277-casting-speculation-wish-list/page/4/#findComment-1082892

harrie April 28, 2015 Share April 28, 2015 I dunno, VVP says "We have nothing to hide" an awful lot in that clip. I wonder what they're hiding.

BlackMamba April 28, 2015 Share April 28, 2015 Andy confirmed in a article he did for Attitude Magazine, he's only interested in casting violate women. So this only slow lessens my hope he's going to get rid of Kim or Brandi or both. http://www.inquisitr.com/2049153/andy-cohen-on-real-housewives-drama-its-real-we-cast-highly-volatile-women/ 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20277-casting-speculation-wish-list/page/4/#findComment-1086445
