Casting Speculation & Wish List

[RealHousewife]

My thoughts in general:

Garcelle-best Housewife ever! I hope she returns if she thinks it would feel right for her and her family. I wonder if she knows who's behind the bots. I just admire her so much and how graceful she is, but gosh, it must be exhausting to deal with all she does. When I saw how sad her gorgeous face looked discussing her book being thrown in the trash, I felt so bad for her, and I often roll my eyes at the hysterics and tears of these women, well Kyle, 12 seasons of Kyle.

Sutton-must return! She's one of my personal favorite Housewives as well. I think she's delightful, and she is just kooky enough to be good TV! She's the exact kind of rich lady I wanna see more of. Love that she's not an actress, despite some actresses I enjoy watching like Garcelle. 

Kathy-Would enjoy watching her as well. She's what Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is all about imo, filthy rich women whose lives you want to see more of. She can just do the show in slippers for all I care. I'm curious if any of her other family members would ever appear. Could you imagine if Paris showed up to take up for her mom and call out her "unkind" aunt Kyle? 

Kyle-not my fave, but she's a good anchor and the last OG. She's connected to many cast members, and she just plays the part of a Real Housewife really well. Actually a wife of the always handsome and often high Mauricio, has a bunch of kids, rich, etc. 

Lisa also known in her mind as "Lebron of Housewives"-Well, it's sad someone I got such a kick out of in the beginning became so toxic. I will say she does bring story and still brings lols at times. I think the show would be more feel good vibes without her, but I can see her returning for sake of drama. 

Erika-Honestly, this was another season of what did she know about Tom's crimes and does she care at all about orphans and widows. Plus her supposedly having all this sex. Could we at least meet some of the men in her "roster" if she returns? I'd be curious what Bravo descriptions producers would have under their names. Erika's would be "good dick," "so-so dick," "if I'm desperate dick."

Dorit-other than the break-in, she had zero story or drama. As someone who appreciates aesthetics, humor, and cute kids, she and her family bring all of that though. She is a beauty, has fun looks, has the cutest kids, and PK can be really funny. 

Crystal-other than the stuff rehashed from last year with Sutton, she didn't have much story or drama, nor connections with anyone other than Diana, who's the worst. She's another who plays the part of a BH Housewife quite well though, just younger. She's beautiful, has the Hollywood husband, who seems quite likable by the way, really quite adorkable, despite the age gap. Her kids are also BEAUTIFUL. I have mixed thoughts about kids being on TV, but I do enjoy seeing such cute little ones like hers and Dorit's. 

I feel like I'd probably like both Crystal and Dorit IRL, they just didn't shine much this season. Not opposed to either returning, but I can see them being reduced to friend of.

Diana-has gotta go! There was no warmth or humor to this woman at all. Yes she's very rich and is beautiful outwardly, but other than her trying to explain feeling terrible about the victims to Erika, can't think of one scene where I enjoyed her. I can't believe Crystal is friends with her. I think Crystal doesn't always express herself well, but I see decency in her. Her buddy, not so much. Erika and Dorit talk about how soft and philanthropic she is, but it just wasn't shown on the show. Even when we learn about her helping out Haiti or the Girardi victims, she does it in a way to shut up or put down the other women.

Sheree-didn't make enough of a splash. She might be a great friend and a hoot IRL, but she was almost like an extra. 

Who they should bring:

Denise! Such a duh imo. She's expressed interest in returning. She is friends with Garcelle, friendly with Sutton, and could shoot with Dorit too. It would be so delicious if Rinna got the boot and Denise replaced her.

I agree with most of what you have laid out here. I watch this show for the Beverly Hills glamour and Hollywood connections. I feel that the show would suffer somehow if Kyle were to leave and agree she is an anchor.  Even though I don't really like her, I enjoy analyzing the bizarre relationships between the sisters and the legacy of their mother.

I do not enjoy Erica, Rinna and Diana and hope they are removed from the show.

The show has been missing so much of what originally made it popular....there is not enough house-porn, and the fashions have become absolutely awful! I can't stand Erica's over the top gaudy-carousel-horse style and her hideous horse's mane hair ornaments.
I'm so sick of Lisa's leopard patterns and designer ad initials.
As much as I love Garcelle, I do not like the way she dresses at all. She wears colors and styles that are not suitable for someone her size and her clothing often makes her look bigger than she is. All of the ladies seem to pick clothes due to the designer rather than what  really suits them.

The show is also missing the Hollywood connections it once had. Can't they find someone who is either involved in Hollywood or has connections to others who do?

I really really hope they do NOT bring Brandi back. I can't stand her brand of villain and I also am creeped out by all the work she has had done to her face. I do not want to even look at her never mind listen to her stupid storylines. She doesn't fit in and has nothing of value to bring to the cast.

I think Andy should do his best to get Lisa V back on the show and get rid of the bullies. Why not also bring back Camille and Eileen Davidson? Although I like Denise she was not a favorite of mine. She didn't seem up to the wealth and glam that some of the other women have brought to the show and I also didn't like her over plastic appearance nor her constant mention of her husband's penis size.

I would welcome seeing Kathy and Kim on the show again. Kim would not have to work fulltime if she can't handle it and the sisters would not have to film together w/Kyle all the time.

I am aware that some of the women already have Hollywood connections. Kyle has some HW connections as well and so do Dorit and PK. They are apparently not enough as the show is missing the glamor it once had. Therefore it's my hope that they can bring in more women w/ connections and actually show those associations. We especially haven't seen much of any HW relations via Crystal. I think Kyle may bring in more of the HW glam than any of the others.

That's on the show runners/producers and what they choose to show us, then.

What does that have to do with my wish for more HW connections? I can still hope for more associations w/ HW no matter what caused the decline of those types of storylines.

[Hiyo]

Because there are HWs with HW connections already on the show. For whatever the reason, barring Jamie Lee Curtis coming on to promote her movie, whoever is in charge of the show isn't showing us these connections.

Changing the HWs won't change anything, the showrunners/producers are the ones who need to be changed.

[RealHousewife]

I think the show is at its best when it’s kind of a mix-the Hollywood famous Housewife, the very wealthy obscure Housewife, the trying to keep up with the Joneses Housewife, etc.

ITA - I love the mix of Hollywood wives with BH wealthy ones. And the 'trying to keep up with the Jones housewives' are interesting too with the exception of Brandi.😁
I thought the first season with the OG cast had a nice mix of women who represented the area.

I'd guess the showrunners, since they basically decide what the season's "stories" will be. It seems like we're now stuck in a mix of a season long _______-gate story mixed in with Game of Thrones-style "who is the HBIC". The first few seasons did feel a bit more organic with how things played out.

I know this idea was floated back when Rinna made some comments about her, but what about Nicolette Sheridan? This would be an interesting kind of justice, no?

She definitely has some Hollywood credentials.

Oh Gosh I would just LOVE that! I remember her well all the way back to the days of Knot's Landing and with her marriage to Harry Hamlin she would be a perfect thorn in Rinna's side!🤣

There are any number of reasons Hollywood storylines are not being used as much. Perhaps any HW folks connected to current housewives do not want to get involved with the show with it's current reputation. It could be damaging to one's career. And involvement at this time could also be detrimental to one's business or charity as well. They need to overhaul the whole show before they have nothing left but vicious fighting, racist attacks and enabling of criminal enterprises.

[Melonie77]

Yo ANDY!!!!

This is the only House Wives show that I watch and I would like to see it continue. Putting the show on pause was a good idea but I hope the time off is used well and a big broom is brought in to clean house.

The original mix of ladies was such a great cast! If you can't put that group back together then something similar might bring the magic combination once again.

The first few seasons had the Hollywood connections with the Richards sisters and the Grammers. The Vanderpumps brought fabulous wealth, house porn and restaurants. The Maloofs also brought the money and I enjoyed Paul's plastic surgery angle. Although Taylor's story ended in tragedy she supplied the storyline of someone trying to keep up with the Jones.

Andy, please do whatever you can to bring Lisa Vanderpump back. Even if it means a new cast meeting with her approval.

I feel the Richard sisters are essential to the show as well. I would find a way to keep Kyle and make Kim and Kathy 'friends'.

Keep Garcelle and Sutton full time. See if there is any way to get Sheree to come out of her shell.

Get rid of Diana.

Remove Rinna, Erica and Dorit or start by making them 'friends' as a way to ease them out more slowly. Vanderpump does not have to shoot with any of these ladies.

Bring back Camille, Eileen and Denise full time.

Do not even think about bringing back Brandi or any of the one and dones.

Check into bringing back the Maloofs - they get along well as a divorced couple and the plastic surgery / beauty esthetics was an excellent angle for this show. If not them then how about another plastic surgeon?

Why can't we have visits from the "morally corrupt Faye Resnick" or the "Dinner Party from Hell" guest Allison Dubois? 

How about a fashion designer?

What about other Hollywood ladies like Nicolette Sheridan? Or Jamie Lee Curtis?

What about Paul Nassif’s newish wife? I love the idea of Nicolette Sheridan too. I’d also like to see how Heather dubrow would do with this group. I’d be fine with Denise as well if we didn’t have to be exposed to her husband.

Joyce is one of my favorite Housewives ever. I felt so bad when there were dinners and she had housewife after housewife either be rude, laugh at or dismiss her. The biggest offender was Brandi. Joyce did later become friends with Lisa Vanderpump. When I had social media I actually messaged her, and she responded to me and was very sweet.

Yes, she was a 'one and done'. She was nice but other one year ladies were not very interesting or were problems like Carlton Gebbia and Kathryn Edwards. There were some others but I think they were always considered 'friends' like Dana Wilkey, Marisa Zanuck, and Eden Sassoon.

I really do not like Brandi at all. I had thought she would be interesting at first since the story of her husband Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes was big news at the time but she was just an awful person. I really hope Andy doesn't bring her back - it might impair his ability to attract other women to the show. 

[Melonie77]

I found a list on Wiki of all the ladies who ever starred on the RHOBH both fulltime and as friends.

These ladies were all full time cast members at one point but some returned as friends and/or guests on other seasons as well:
Taylor Armstrong
Camille Grammer
Adrienne Maloof
Kim Richards
Kyle Richards
Lisa Vanderpump
Brandi Glanville
Yolanda Hadid
Carlton Gebbia
Joyce Giraud de Ohoven
Eileen Davidson
Lisa Rinna
Kathryn Edwards
Erika Girardi
Dorit Kemsley
Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave
Denise Richards
Garcelle Beauvais
Crystal Kung Minkoff
Sutton Stracke
Diana Jenkins

This next group of ladies were only friends and/or guests:
Dana Wilkey
Faye Resnick
Kathy Hilton
Marisa Zanuck
Sheree Zampino
Eden Sassoon

Does anyone think any of the previous housewives might make interesting cast members to bring back?

I'd love for Paul, his new wife and Adrienne to come back. I've been re-watching Nip/Tuck lately and I think a plastic surgery angle would be a great addition to a Beverly Hills/Hollywood show!

Whether you were a fan of hers or not, Adrienne Maloof >>> Brandi, Erika, Rinna as far as classiness.

Ben and Ron have an interesting theory. They believe Brandi craves love and friendship. But she also subconsciously wonders if she deserves it. She then sabotages the friendship in many various ways. She wants to test the friend. Will LVP still be my friend if I slap her? Will Eva still be my friend if I insult her husband?

That makes sense. She really pushes the envelope at times and has done some vile things I won't even mention but just name a couple of victims - Joanna Krupa and Adrienne Maloof.

It's possible that KE's decision to leave the show was her own, but I believe the reason why she ended up as a one-and-done was that she was not interesting enough and/or was too reserved for a Bravo HW production. TBH I don't remember her well at all which seems to support the idea that she didn't have any storylines. She was/is a nice person but I guess just not suitably dramatic enough to be a cast member. I think that's why most of the one-year-only people were let go although Joyce may have very sadly left due to the harassment she received from castmates. It might be nice to see her be given another chance to come back if she were willing.

The exception to all this would be Diana. If they hopefully let her go I would say she was sent packing after one year for being an awful lip-licking bully!🤣

[Surrealist]

I'm all for introducing new cast members. 

I don't really want to revisit former HWs in any new seasons.

I would LOVE to see Joyce back especially if they keep Erika. Joyce has everything Erika was pretending to have when she first cam on the show. Legitimate wealth, an adoring and doting (and apparently well hung) husband, and an actual career in the entertainment industry.

When I stated that the whole show needed to be overhauled I meant the cast, the direction, the editing, the showrunners, the producers, everything.
Bravo put the show on "pause" and I'm hoping they take the opportunity to deep-six the toxic environment that has developed and bring back the Beverly Hills/Hollywood glamour, gossip and house/fashion/lifestyle porn of the earlier seasons.

She definitely has some Hollywood credentials. 

So I poked around a bit last night at the Nicolette Sheridan cast idea googling her to see what she's currently up to. I had forgotten that Nicolette was once (briefly) married to Denise Richards' husband Aaron Phypers!!!
Now I'm remembering Rinna and Denise discussing Nicolette on the show and how she was married to both of their current husbands!🤣

I think NS would be a great addition to the show but there is an interesting problem with Rinna....I saw an older article from a few years ago discussing how they were talking about casting Nicolette but there had been some Twitter argument at the time between NS and Lisa & Harry.
At that time Andy said he wouldn't ask NS on the show due to her feud with Rinna but I really don't think Andy is very fond of Lisa these days. Now that everyone is so overwhelmingly sick of Rinna, maybe an invitation to NS for a season 13 diamond could be helpful in kicking loony Lisa completely out of the Beverly Hills orbit.

[Shannah Banana]

In my opinion, all they have to do is get rid of Dirty Diana and Rinna.  My goodness, the masses are clamoring for them to go, but I guess the obvious is too simple for the brilliant minds that let their show come to this.

This is Beverly Hills, for the love of money Pete.

There is enough cast as it is, bring the rest of them back.  Who really needs a "friend of"?  It's bullshit anyway.  Most of the time, it seems they barely even know each other.  Do not bring back any of the old-timers either, just stick with what we have:  Garcelle, Sutton, Crystal, Dorit, Erika and Kyle.  I could see this blend as actually working. 

DO NOT let Kyle bring either of her sisters back.  Ever.  She can't handle the competition they bring.  She will forever be trying to prove to them how accomplished she is, and them not being all that impressed with her.  Maybe they don't like her tactics.  I know I don't.

Anyway, that leaves six.  

I went to the Bravo website, and this is the number of housewives in the other cities, current, non-current and maybe even defunct.

Atlanta - 6

Dubai - 6

New Jersey - 6

Orange County - 6

New York City - 5

Salt Lake City - 5

Potomac - 7

Dallas - 6

Miami - 6

DC - 5  (no way was I going to forget THAT train-wreck cancelled after one season, even though the Bravo-verse wants them to disappear).

My point is, eight housewives and "friends of" is over-kill and unnecessary. 

So, if Bravo would just trim the fat, which includes Dirty Diana and Rinna and their LIPS, then we could be good to go.

Barf.

"Garcelle and I are friends!!!!!" (A desperate ladder-climbing housewife says what?)

My guess Is that if she joined, she'd try to bully Sutton and befriend Rinna, all while appointing herself the mediator between Garcelle and the rest. Because they've been "friends" for so long.

No. Thanks.

Co-sign.

I’m not a Heather fan, no matter which show she’s on - but I can see her wanting this, and possibly getting it.

I typically like a mixture of old and new. I feel like an entire cast reboot would be too much. I'm looking forward to RHNY whenever it debuts, but I don't know that it was necessary to give the entire cast the chop.

With Beverly Hills I think I'd like to see two or three familiar faces. Let Garcelle bring a friend on and give her a chance to have someone on her team. Kyle always gets to have people on her side. It'd be nice to even out the playing field.

Oh god, please not Heather.  She is so plastic that she starts to melt in the sun if she stays out too long.

They should do a Real Housewives Runway starring all the one-and-dones, former non-current "friends of," and anyone not named Brandi or Carlton. Weekly competitions for making it to the next round. And Heidi Klum on hand to say "In reality, you are a star, but in Housewives, you are one and you are done. Goodbye."

I'd watch the heck outta that.

Bring back Adrienne. Add Nicolette Sheridan, if for whatever (known only to God and Andy Cohen) reason Rinna comes back. That will totally make Rinna lose her shit.

But I do agree somewhat that it’s up to the showrunners to turn down the heat on this show. I’m hoping they listen to the blowback from this past season and look for new members who will make for interesting drama without being totally disgusting and unwatchable. I think we’ve all been clear that that is not entertaining.

I don’t think Heather would be a good fit. Not sure if I can explain exactly why, but I don’t think she could hold her own with this current bunch. Just leave her in OC.
