I have to agree i think NeNe has got her head high up at the moment but shes done great for herself she is the breakout star from out of all the RH franchises, she has even got her foot in Hollywood.

NeNe can call the shots on ATL and Bravo knows it even andy, I guarantee if she wants someone gone from the show Bravo will make it happen

As for Sheree she has missed out on a fortune she could of made some quick $$$$ but instead she hoped for a payout from her Ex who in the end had no money to give her or what she wanted. Is her clothing line even successful ?

A Video for the best of NeNe moments

'Me and Kim have had some 7's, 8's and 9's but this one is a 10... DING'

'She just seems to be a little bit ghetto to me.. you know... a little ...Hood'

and the very famous 'Close your legs to married men'

Sherey by Sheree was in liquidation in 2010. Shame, the clothes were so fabulous! Especially at the preview.

Oh wait, her designer hadn't actually made the garments had she? Business acumen at its finest.

So I gave Miami a go and three episodes in and i think its so boring, i just can not like any of the wives. I might try and carry on through with S1 and see what the finale is like and the reunion,
Miami Season 2 is great! (Forget Season 1, it didn't happen) Give it 6 to 10 episodes and you'll love it! But I did like all the housewives, except Lea. I adored Marysol, had a soft spot for her. Ana and Alexia I loved! Adriana I was so so. The same with Joana (whom for some reason i feel doesn't fit the format). Karent..I didn't get the hate for, she seemed fine. Lisa is beautiful! But she looks similar to TOWIE'S Lauren Pope. Joanna's sister Marta needs to be a Housewive and slap Joanna into place!

You should! I loved it, albeit not as much as some of the others but it is great and really gets into it's stride as it goes on.

Has anyone watched the Nene special ( available from the usual places ) that Andy Cohen did a few days ago on WWHL?
Where's "the usual places" ?

An hour of one on one with Nene and, darling, she is FABULOUS. She comes across as really likeable and answers every question with no airs and graces. I do like her, she may have an ever expanding ego, but she makes for really good TV and is quite aware this could all end tomorrow.
Ive finally managed to track this down! Ive been so looking forward to spending 40mins with my girl Nene, spilling the tea! Looks fab, and I cant wait to hear what she has to say about Sheree, Kim, and the other franchises! Im having a night in tonight, so Im gonna get settled down later with a glass of wine and enjoy!

Its a shame that her sitcom, The New Normal has just been cancelled though. I quite liked it personally. But maybe this means Nene will be more present on season 6 of Atlanta, thats no bad thing in my book!

Moving onto NY......its all gone a bit ridiculous hasnt it?! The latest is that they are all banding together and holding out for bigger paycheques! Bravo seems to be having none of it though, and told them to either sign their contracts- or be gone! Season 6 has really had a bumpy ride so far, and they havent even started filming yet! and OMG at Ramona, prior to all this nonscence she apparently wanted Bravo to give her $1Million for the season Does old Pinot really think she is in Nene's league?! As if! Im pretty sure the producers had a big laugh at that one!

RHNY Salary stand-off- Bravo threaten to pull the plug

Maybe they should just start again with a whole new cast, its all gotten a bit out of hand in my opinion. At this rate its going to be next year before we get a new season of NY!

DEADLY_17- Im another vote to check out Miami Season 2. Its MUCH better than the mess that was season 1. As Andrew said, it really hits its stride and I really enjoyed the season. Hated Joana though- stunning girl, horrendous person! Adriana is fabulous, and I loved Lisa aswell! I cant wait for season 3.

I dont watch the NY HW but they are so pathetic Who do they think they are? New York is no wear near NJ and ATL in terms of success.

They should be happy with what they are being offered at the end of the day Bravo is paying them fairly, the show is not as successful as NJ and ATL so therefore they dont deserve the high $$$$.

The only HW of the franchises that deserve the 1 million pay rise is NeNe cause she is the breakout star. These NY wives are comig cross as Greedy.

If i were Bravo i would just axe them all together and start a fresh.

Sassy, darling, New York got ridiculous after they fired Jill, Alex & crazy Kelly.

To be fair the new women do have a valid case. $65,000 isn't going to cover their costs. Ramona and Luann have a right cheek, what exactly are they paid $500,000 for? Mind you, Luann's "Ramona, what other dirty tricks do you have to pull out of your pinot filled ass?" was worth her money. In all seriousness though they're both a bit of a lost cause without Jill, Kelly and Alex to have drama with. A new cast is needed or Jill, Kelly and Alex are needing brought back because the new cast lacks any chemistry whatsoever.

I can't believe they're considering canceling the show and not just the cast. That's crazy because NY does have the potential to be great. If the cast aren't back there won't be any NY this year or maybe not even next because casting 6/7 housewives will take a lot of time, especially to get the balance and chemistry right.

Sonja needs to go. I can't bear the thought of her being on my screen again. She is just a trainwreck, and a tacky one at that. According to Radar Online Sonja and Ramona have fallen out over negotiating. Although, one minute they said Sonja agreed her contract behind Ramona's back and then just after they reported Ramona signed behind Sonja's back so god knows what's going on.

I'd definitely be up for a new cast completely. Has that ever been done before or does every show have at least 1 original.

Update: According to the NYPost Carole doesn't want to come back and Heathers refusing to come back unless Carole does. So it looks like they could be out which is disappointing as they are the only two I wanted back.

I don't think anyone on any of the shows deserves that much money, it's ridiculous.

I kind of disagree because by the time they pay makeup artists, hair stylists, clothes stylists, actual clothes and accessories to wear, publicists, lawyers etc. etc. that's bound to take a lot of the money away and thats not considering the money they will lose from not doing their day job, which for Nene, is acting so they have to pay her a rate similar to acting jobs so she won't lose out because if they don't she will leave and as the star of Atlanta the ratings will take a hit.

Plus, Bravo made a profit of $1.4 billion last year according to Carole Radziwill so it's not like they can't afford it. I think $1 million should be the limit though but the ones like Carole who are being paid only $65,000 have every right to demand a pay rise.

Just a fun video of the BH dinner party from hell with subtitles saying what the housewives really were thinking. The Taylor bashing is hilarious.."Shana-condo" was brilliant.

Well, really they shouldn't have all that if it's reality, should they? I don't think anyone should be making that amount of money for what really isn't that difficult a job, I feel the same about footballers but that's not for this thread!

Well, no one wants to watch them running around like scruffs. We watch for the glamorous lives they lead. No reality show is complete reality.

Filming for 8-12 hours a day can be emotionally and physically draining, more so when the cast dislike each other and there's arguments - and that's before you think of the crazy fans and haters that religiously give them hate and send death threats to them and their families. It's not as simple as standing in front of a camera and going about your life. Also, anyone that needs to film with the likes of Kenya should be awarded danger money cause that chick is all kinds of crazy and, to quote brandi, would 'cut a bitch'.

Agreed. Well, about Jill anyway. Alex, I wasnt that fussed about, and Kelly I was more than ready for her to go! But, yeah, Jill, that was a massive error on Bravo's part letting her go.

Its a shame about Heather and Carole- I really want them to come back next season so I hope they figure something out. I liked Carole from the off, and Heather by the end I absolutely loved.

Other than that though, I wouldnt say No to a fresh, all new cast. Its not been done before, but that doesnt mean it couldnt work. But I dont know that Bravo would take the risk.

Also, anyone that needs to film with the likes of Kenya should be awarded danger money cause that chick is all kinds of crazy and, to quote brandi, would 'cut a bitch'.
and thats why I loved her! She was great fun to watch this season, and you just never know what kind of insanity will come out of her mouth next. ".......and Twirl!"

I don't know about a whole new NY cast. I think the reason why ratings dipped last season was because there were 3 newbies and as much I enjoy watching Ramona, LuAnn and Sonja - they were by no means the strongest bunch to keep hold of. Jill should never have been ditched and Alex probably could've jelled really well with the newbies.

Loved that video. Thanks for the link Andrew.

I so agree about NY. Why cant they eat humble pie and get Jill back? Her behaviour would be insufferable but that's why she IS NY, I liked Alex and, while Simon frequently grossed me out ( remember those red leather trousers *shudder* ) I'd happily see her back. But boy was I glad to see the back of Kelly.
Kenya is a whole different kind of crazy than Kelly, and much more entertaining.

I am loving the reruns of Atlanta. I find Phaedra even more hilarious in hindsight, and I cracked up at Nene's disgust at her bringing a stripper to Kandi's party. Nene, you were a stripper, remember? You've never been bashful about it. Mama Joyce ( who I also love) wasn't too impressed though.

I think the difference is - Kenya knows exactly what she's doing. She knows what's going to entertain viewers and more importantly, what's going to impress producers. I bet they were rubbing their hands with glee when they met her!

Kelly on the otherhand, was genuinely clueless in how she was coming off. She could barely form a sentence that made sense! What was entertaining about her role in the show was the other women reacting to her.

Sassy, I think Alex should have stayed. I didn't like her much but she was finally beginning to stand up for herself and it would have been interesting to see her interact with the new housewives. Kelly, I like, mainly because she got under Bethenny and Ramona's skin, but I'm not sure she would have interacted well with new housewives..she would go even more crazier.

Apparently Carole and Heather have both signed up and are getting a pay rise from $65,000 to $150,000 . If true, the producers must have been desperate to keep them.

I'm 8 episodes into S5 of Atlanta and I love Kenya too! However her 'relationship' with Walter is ridiculously fake and annoying as hell to watch. I don't like Cynthia though, she's very irritating. Phaedra is incredibly two faced and her face pulling can be annoying but she is hilarious. I love Kandi & Nene. Porsha, I like too.

BumbleSquat, I agree. Andy is a first class idiot for firing her. I wonder if he got in any trouble for it? He should have anyway. Luann and Sonja should have been fired or demoted, they are boring as hell to watch. I think an entire new cast would lose ratings at the start but if they are good they would go up as they went along. IMO, the reasons season 5 lost ratings is because they kept some cast members which was a constant reminder of the ones that went, mainly Jill. Also, it meant Ramona had no one willing to go at it with her and Luann had no friends.

Tally, no problem. I know, knowing Jill though she'd remind them at every chance she got which is why she is fabulous. Oh those trousers! He was a character. He was more of a Housewive than Alex sometimes, with his mean-tweeting storyline, hilarious.

Nebworth90 I agree.

I think any reality star deserves a huge pay check. If they are entertaining and make us tune in every week so why not?

Besides America always have the money to throw at reality stars and Bravo made a huge profit last year as previously mentioned above. At the end of the day they are catering to the viewers if there huge star is not making enough money then they will leave which they cant have happening, also it funds there luxury life style which the RH is all about plus think how much they have to pay out for lawyers and managers.

The likes of NeNe imo deserve the money she makes ATL and she has been there since the start.

I definitely think the women deserve to be paid well for being part of the show. The money that Bravo make off this franchise will be crazy money, so why should they not pay the cast well?
With regards to if Nene leaves Atlanta the ratings will be affected, I disagree. BK, (before Kenya), I would have agreed, however Season 5 was all about her craziness and she totally reinvented the show. As much as I love Nene, her popularity has dipped since she became so successful.
Off topic, I have started to watch Married To Medicine, which is not as good as HW, but still pretty entertaining.

Kim has had such a transformation for me so far in RHOA S4, I've gone from completely despising her in S3, to her being one of my favourite to watch now. I guess the baby has humbled her, although I think in S3 it was just a case of her 'music career' turning her into a monster and making her completely intolerable. Good that she's now forgotten about that I've always had a soft spot for Sheree but I'm definitely going off her this series and I'm kinda glad it's her last. She's just such a ridiculous person, I don't understand where she gets all this money to buy these ridiculously expensive things, and she seems to have a new project every 5 minutes. What happened to her acting career? That was her main storyline of S3 and she hasn't mentioned it once in S4 so far
