I saw her on the previews for the current season of "Below Deck."  I don't think she's coming back to RHOC.

If Gina is allowed to hop trains like a hobo and get invited to shit other people are paying for (And have Shannon buy clothes for her) there is no reason not to bring Lynne Curtin back. Why not? Most of these women are divorced, Lynne needs the money, and I was always entertained by her.

Looks like Icky will screech through the reunion too:

“Tamra also confirmed Bravo host Andy’s previous statement about someone suffering a major meltdown at the reunion. “That would be Vicki. Meltdown kicking and screaming,” shared Tamra. “Andy got in a fight with Vicki at the reunion.””

I am going with FUCK NO!  I am barely hanging on with the ensemble cast as it is.  And the denial about creating storylies (misspelling intentional)  Vicki? Cancergate, engagement, any others?  

[goofygirl]

Aww hell to the naw naw naw!!! It's boring enough already! Those 3 idiots? For an HOUR? By themselves?

Hell, Icky's already been demoted to "friend"... She could get one more demotion and maybe  be out the door! Fingers crossed!

[Natalie68]

Did you read the article re Ryan Vieth (good god, the apocalypse is upon us, he is googleable!) and Gina?  She actually sorta defended him saying he was a good guy, great dad, they had hung out a bit yada, yada, yada.

Well, he apparently cannot read because it was nice comments!  

“I think [Ryan] gets a bad rap,” Gina explained. “I don’t know Ryan very well but I have hung out with him a handful of times and he’s like a really nice, sweet, polite guy… a very good dad.”

“I see these bullsh*t articles floating around where [Gina Kirschenheiter] says that she’s hung out with me. I’ve never hung out with her ever in my life.” ..The only times I’ve ever seen or been around her has been at parties while filming and I’ve maybe said hi or hello, that’s it.
quoted from Reality Tea

So this little goblin has nearly zero supporters and he has to shit on the *1* person, who did NOT birth him, who has something nice to say?  Surely there is a bunker somewhere that requires his attention or some sort of rally to attend.

Yep. I am. Spin it off, and cancel the HWs. I think it’s in the works. I can’t stand Tamra and Vicki. Yet I find they are the only ones I’ll drop what I’m doing to watch. Though I would love to see Shane drop pig eyed Emily and the fallout of her having to live in a Townhouse and drive a Jetta. As if she’s too good to do what Lauri did. Lady you ain’t fit to tie Lauri’s 24kt plated gold digging shoes.

Dr. Deb and her husband were in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and "allegedly" stole 5000 pesos worth of items from a store (the security camera captured it all). Someone posted 2 pictures from the security camera on an Ex Pat Facebook. It said:

We need your help. This lady and her husband came today at 6 pm to my mother's store and left without paying for a total of 5000 pesos. If anyone knows them please let me know.

The next day they were located and returned every item.

Seriously?  Will that woman never cease to amaze us with how downright horrid she is.

She's lucky that her only "punishment" for stealing something in Mexico was a Facebook post.  Verrrrrrry lucky.

Dr. Deb is horrid. Laura Galli, the woman who does the podcast Andy Girls (which I recommend- she was on some panels at Bravo Con and she has some connection to Bravo and spills so much inside information on the Housewives) was at an intimate party in Mexico that Dr. Deb and her friends attended the night before the incident. They were all rude to the staff. 

The link below will bring you to the details. It's cued up to start where they talk about Dr. Deb.

I might actually enjoy watching a show about Dr. Deb in a Mexican jail.

[biakbiak]

What cheap bastards that is just over $250!

[FairyDusted]

And she's not recognizable at all. *Someone catch my eyeballs*

[Jextella]

As the expressions says, "actions speak louder than words".

I've always felt that outward appearance, clothes, etc. is a form of communication.  Dr. Deb's clown get-up doesn't make her special or valuable in any sort of meaningful way.  Her actions tell the story, not her clothes.  Unfortunately, the story is not a good one. 

I'd like to know Dr. Deb's history. She is clearly a hot mess, and something must have gotten her there.  Whether it's something dramatic and/or sad or something as simple as smoking some wierd peyote at Burning Man, I'd like to know. 

At least Lydia's pot-smoking fairy dusting mom seemed engaged with her daughter and wasn't a thief, much less a condescending one.

I don’t think Lydia’s mom was putting on an act rather I think that was her true self. Dr. Deb is putting on a lame act

[Snarky McSnarky]

There's a video of the police confronting her, but they are speaking Spanish of course.

Loosely translated:  “The officer is stating that Dr. Deb had stolen very expensive merchandise from people who barely have money themselves. And now that she’s confronted, she doesn’t want the merchandise, she wants the store to take it back. But the officer is saying they have to pay for the goods. The cop also tells her that they are not going to stand by and allow an outsider to steal from them and there be no repercussions. The cop also accuses Dr. Deb of being a professional thief to have stolen all of that stuff undetected. He also said the store personnel must have been distracted.”

When they weren't shoplifting in Mexico, he was apparently proposing to her "again."

Reunion tease - 

[MajorNelson]

Since part 1 of the reunion is done, I went to Tamra and Kelly's twitters, and the big takeway is Tamra is lucky to get 100 or 200 likes, while Kelly gets 1000+ commonly.  Kelly posted pics of her and Emily as the Dos Amigas and has 4000+ likes.

Also, Tamra posted some interview footage from Bravo, and she called Kelly's lawsuit interference the ultimate betrayal, but the WHY is because it involves money.  She bleated about the financial hardship is under.  WHAT?  She's not liquid enough to cough up the dough?  Is her coming from poverty or whatever making her freak out so much over money?

[Snarky McSnarky]

VIcki:  "Get. Her. Off. My. Show."

Everyone in the entire World:  "It's not your show."

Please fire her sorry ass, Bravo.

I don't speak Spanish, but why would the police approach her and why would she offer to return the merchandise to the store if she hadn't taken it without paying (per the translation)?

On a recent episode of WWHL, Jeff Lewis appeared and said he shared who he thought should leave the cast during this podcast.  Does anyone have a Sirius subscription who listens to know who Jeff thinks should leave?

On the same show, he said he has a friendship with Kelly and Shannon, but dislikes Vicki.

I'm guessing he would get rid of Vicki, Tamra, and possibly Gina???

Yes, Jeff thinks Vicki and Shannon should stay, and everyone else should go.  He thinks Tamra makes for good t.v., and that Tamra knows exactly what to do to keep her orange (i.e. running into the bushes), but that all the rest should be scrapped.

He was trying really hard to get Andy to tell him who will be off the show, and as Jeff mentioned each name, he said Andy is a terrible liar, so he was joking that Andy couldn't keep a straight face when he mentioned Gina and Emily, insinuating that neither of them would be returning.  Andy again, wouldn't confirm it, but Jeff said Andy's face gave that away.

When pressed, Andy changed the subject to Braunwyn, and said that he thinks there's "a lot there", with her 7 kids, her eccentric mother, her extra apartment.  My guess is, there's more to Braunwyn than meets the eye, and that it will make for good t.v.  Remember, most housewives, of any franchise, kind of lay low for the first season or so.  So we'll see!

We do know that Braunwyn isn't speaking to Betsey Johnson wanna-be Ego Mom right now, so there's obviously some drama that we will probably see in an upcoming season.

Thank you!

This is really surprising!   In a million years I never thought he'd want Vicki to stay.

I'm also surprised that he would want Kelly to go because she's so popular and they are friends.

I read an article that also talked about how he thought that Braunwyn was great for the show (what was said above) but Andy also talked about how he had a conversation with Vicki about how this type of work is fleeting, that you never know when you’ll be gone, he’ll be gone, etc etc. He was also talking like her story has been told, time for new blood

(all of this is badly paraphrased and going from memory, sorry)

If this is true, I believe Vicki is gone. Especially after her reunion shit fit. There’s a reason why Jill Z never came back- her behind the scenes behavior did her in. Remember when it was revealed that she recorded her interview with Andy to have ammunition if she got a bad edit? I think Vicki’s diva antics and lawsuit screwed her, big time. I really do think this is the last we’ll see if this crazy narcissistic scammer.

I don't think Jeff (or Andy) want Kelly to go, but I think they realize that she will be in NYC with her new guy (until that falls apart, lol).  So I suspect we'll still be seeing plenty of Kelly.

Andy & Jeff talked a lot about what's next....for Andy, for RH franchise, etc.  Andy even talked about "retirement", i.e., if/when the RH franchise finishes its run, what he'd do.  He talked about writing books, continuing his Sirius talk show, taking on other projects.  He even talked about WWHL, as he said he's not in control of its continuation, but that Bravo is, and he has to wait to hear from Bravo execs as to its future.

My suspicion is that there are still a few good years left for the RH franchise, and WWHL as an extension of that, because there are those among us (me!) who love seeing the RH "stars" on WWHL with other guests.  But that, like everything else, RH at some point will have run its course.

It was just interesting for Andy to even discuss that.

Oh!  Jeff said to Andy that he bets Andy will be having another baby soon, and of course Andy didn't reply.  Andy told Jeff that he had so much wished that he could have told him early on when he was having Ben, but that Jeff had betrayed his trust in the past, and Jeff admitted that he has too big of a mouth, and that he understood.  But Jeff said that he can see in Andy's future, a 2nd child, and all Andy would say was that he'd never tell Jeff, and that if/when that happens, it would be announced like Ben:  weeks prior to delivery.

 So if I was a betting person, a baby would be next on Andy's agenda, and I'd also place a bet that it's already warming in the oven.

The funniest part of this story is Page Six referring to Alexa as a RHOC star.

A much better description would be "drug addicted, D-List porn actor". Lynn Curtin NEVER should have had kids.

Well, yes, but the reality doesn't make it any less tragic...those girls never had a chance.

[Jextella]

Regarding casting....I wonder if we will see a few city shifts?   Given that Kelly is friends with Ramona and Dorinda and is dating a guy from NYC, perhaps she moves to that city and show - or shuttle between the two.

Also, there has been talk about a Chicago version of the RH franchise.  Maybe Tinsley launches that show.

If correct, rewarding abysmal, not entertaining behavior. Way to go Andy.

The only way this would be tolerable is if they cast someone worse than her to consistently give it back to her . . .

I'll believe it when I see it.    There are always posts about casting changes shortly after seasons end.  I'd wager that Bravo posts rumors in both directions (coming and going) to get fan reaction.

It does, however, seem like they announce terminations fairly early on and that the departing women are allowed to post the news themselves as sort of a courtesy.

Bravo did us dirty by airing the 3 shows in one night over the Holiday. They were trying to bury something but which one? RHOD was equally as awful. 

I'm still bitter. Also it's interesting who went into hiding just when we were getting ready to take their inventory.

On a recent episode of WWHL, the guests were Vicki (OC), Brandi (DL), and Margaret (NJ) and one of the poll questions was what reunion people are looking forward to the most.  Dallas was #1, OC was #2 and NJ was #3.  

Who knows for sure, but I'd wager the Leanne debacle was driving interest for Dallas and Teresa-Joe burnout was sinking NJ.

Man.  This woman sure has a knack for rising to the top (in more ways than one) with ease.  Quite amazing.

If you watch the video, Kelly talks about wanting a job transfer to New York.  She's friends with Ramona, Sonja, and Dorinda and wouldn't mind becoming part of the NYC cast.

Maybe this is the big casting changes for OC that Andy is referring to.
