Leva will still be on Southern Hospitality. I don't know how well this train wreck does in ratings. I suspect Bravo let her go off Southern Charm.

Well, other than serving as the person to do individual one on one pull outs of information (w/ Venita, JT, and the girls), she hasn't really participated. She didn't merit an invite to Miss Pat's dinner (which doesn't surprise me), nor did she attend the trip or several of the group events. I think she may have been at Taylor's dog party, but not Sally's housewarming, or maybe it was the other way around. There isn't a natural fit for her as all the new ladies are 20-somethings who are milling about mooning over these old dudes, while her peers (Cameron, Chelsea, the other blonde who dated both Austen and Shep) are gone from the show. She and Madison should probably be their own pod of busy mom entrepreneurs, but I get the sense they don't like each other, so that's out.

My concern is with her gone, Venita doesn't have a natural peer either - she's a fashionista in a group of ladies who don't care about fashion, whose her male peer, JT, just made her look dumb on tv. Leva's leaving may end up wiping all the diversity out of this crew.

Leva was on the show because she appeared in the early seasons, was a friend with Cameran, one of the original cast members.

Then she had a bigger role one season where they actually had scenes of her at home.

Then they turned that into the spinoff show.

They probably had her on the show just to keep the tie to the spinoff but they didn't give her anything significant, just a few short scenes where she commented on other people's story lines, not have anything on her own.

Maybe she couldn't or wouldn't shoot more scenes than that.

She's suppose to be wildly successful with her restaurants and probably the only reason she does any reality TV is it's great promotion for her restaurants.

Plus look how big VPR got and it must have made Lisa Vanderpump even richer, probably drives all kinds of business to her restaurants so that's what Leva is aiming for.

None of them are in the 20s. Salley is the youngest at 30. The rest are in their 30s: Madison, Molly, Taylor, Venita, Craig, Austen & Ryan, 40s: Leva, Shep, JT & Rodrigo or 50+: Whitney & Patricia

Leva doesn't fit in because she isn't friends with anyone but Venita, Rodrigo or JT, who are all side players themselves. She used her friendship with Cameran to get on the show and then sold Bravo on the Southern Charm spinoff. She should've been cut loose years ago IMHO.

One of my sons thinks that most tall guys think they can get away with anything. My son's 5'10"  and considers that short.

My Son is 5’10 also, and has a great work ethic.  5’10 is not short.  My husband is 6 foot.  5’10 might be average.

The average height of a male in the U.S. is 5'9", so 5'10" is taller than average.
