It is sad. Not just the ratings but the quality of the show. Even though I'm enjoying the show it is not a patch on the first 4 seasons - a massive imrpovement over last season though. I'm dreading it being to dragged out though, according to Andy it is the longest ever. Although unlikely, I'm still holding out hope for a Jill/Bethenny return next season. I would just love to see how they act to Aviva's craziness.

That would be the best thing ever because neither would let it go until they won. It would be insanely crazy, Bravo need to swallow their pride and make it happen.

So Straight from the A are reporting all the Atlanta Housewives have been asked back with Kenya being the one who might not due to her commitments to that sitcom she's part of.
Also that they've been in negotiations with Sheree to return in some capacity. Straight from the A are extremely reliable when it comes to Atlanta rumours and 90% right most of the time. They were the only blog to accurately report what happened with the fight and seem to always get the new housewives correct and report on their hirings before anyone else. I mean they were the only one who reported on never to be housewife Nicole Porsche, who was officially hired and starting filming before they decided against and then hired Porsha (hence why Ms Lawrence's salon opening mini-story was dropped). |

The biggest pro for Sheree coming back is going to be Nene's reaction |

Just watched the Atlanta reunion part 2 and it's obvious where Kenya's scepter went after the fight, up Nene's ass! I seriously can't deal with that awful woman anymore. I know she's not going anywhere cos Miss Attitude needs the paychecks, but I would love for Bravo to get rid of her and I used to love her. The faces she was pulling were ridiculous.
I don't think Mama Joyce was drunk, she was just trying to show off, but looked ridiculous, I cringed throughout her whole segment. I really felt for Cynthia, as boring as she can be, I find her genuine and I think Atlanta needs someone like her with all the crazy that the rest of them bring. Finally it ends next week. As much as I always enjoy Atlanta, this season feels like it's lasted a year. Regarding Sheree returning, yes please. Whilst I never really liked her, I did the drama she brought to the show and she had some great one liners. |

Aviva and Jill are quite good friends so doubt they will be against east other. If anything, Jill will have Aviva's back in the Aviva v Carole/Heather.

We need to have them all lined up getting mani/pedi's like they were on Scary Island when she showed up. That will be hysterical. I hope the producers sign her and don't tell the rest of the cast, they can do a trip in like episode 2 or 3 (like OC) and in walks Jill.

I live for another 'who gon check me boo?' or another scene like her and Marlo fighting in Africa, that was crazy.
I think they should bring Sheree, Marlo as the new wives. I think Marlo was pretty good and needs to have her peach.Any news on Miami? |

I can't see why Bravo insist on bringing Phaedra back year on year when she does absolutely nothing interesting. At least Cynthia can be used as a method to transport information between the women. Phaedra literally did nothing of note last season.
The problem is Phaedra presents one side of herself to the cameras, her whole Southern Belle routine, but I'm sure the real Phaedra the minute the cameras are off is ratchet and interesting but she'd never let that side out on TV. |

"Who gon check me boo?!" is like my fave thing ever! I live! Like or loathe her, Sheree was fabulous entertainment and she always delivered. Id be more than happy to see her back, but Id like her back full time holding her peach! Id love to see Sheree and Kenya go against Nene, but I also think Sheree v Kenya would be pretty epic as well. Sheree was seven shades of cray and she could hold her own with Kenya Make it happen Bravo! Regarding the Straight from the A story, they are usually pretty reliable with the RHOA news- but I just don't see this being totally accurate. I don't think all of last seasons cast will be back, particularly Porsha. Maybe Cynthia, but I hope I'm wrong on that, I don't want Cynthia to leave. I really cant see Kenya going anywhere though, I don't think Bravo will want to lose her either. She is the spark on this show right now. |

![]() I live for another 'who gon check me boo?' or another scene like her and Marlo fighting in Africa, that was crazy. ![]() That would be an amazing entrance! NY accent 'DID YA MISSSS ME' And I want Sheree back more then ever now after re-watching some clips on youtube sure she is delusional but my god she makes brilliant TV and I have a feeling NeNe will be getting a bad edit next season if she's not careful and tbh i will welcome it she needs a reality check. A Sheree vs NeNe is always welcome

Well Andy just did a Q&A On twitter and someone asked him if NY was in danger of being cancelled and he said 'No way its doing great and we love it'.
I know he doesn't have the final say but I dont think this season will be the last if ratings still fall they will give it another season for sure...I hope. |

Also, it's New York, one of the fashion capitals of the world. Advertisers will pay 10 times as much to have their product placed in a show about New York broads than in Atlanta. Even at a 10th of the ratings. |

I read the article but I'm not sure it's one hundred % accurate. There's no way they're bringing everyone back plus adding a new housewife.
We know they do that. Sort of how Phaedra and Cynthia were being tested while Lisa was officially signed on. The original plan for season 3 was all the housewives return with one new but then things fell apart with Lisa. And Marlo at the beginning of season 4 despite the cast all being asked back. |

I'd be quite happy for them all to come back.
Though like I've said before I'm not just in it for the arguing. Season 5 & 6 shone for me when these women were all together having fun and being silly and laughing and Cynthia being awkward. Even with all their problems when the time came to party it was fun to watch. So far the highlight of the reunion was the first 10 minutes of episode 1. That's probably why I am so pro Porsha. She's the one who throws herself into the group activities and always the first to get up and dance and twirk and get the stanky leg on and have all the women laughing. And it gets the others worked up and joining in a way that never happened in the first four seasons. I only hope the problems haven't ruined this. But to be honest bringing back Sheree won't solve that. |

Of course they will. I'm pretty sure New York is their best selling franchise internationally.

Even at a 10th of the ratings. It's a shame that for being the fashion capital we are shown so little fashion. It was Kelly that brought the fashion world to RHONY because she had the connections and when she went so did the connections and events. I don't think we've seen the new cast attend fashion shows yet, never mind walk in them like Kelly/Luann/Ramona/Alex did. I'm sorry but that's not true, advertisers pay by ratings. That's why networks want high ratings - it brings in the advertising revenue. Quote:

Yoyo has dropped the price of her house by $2.5 million, yikes! Still a hefty $24.995 million though. |

Loved the Ladies of London preview special, so much better than the last crappy one. LOL at the guest appearance of Rosemary from Ladette to Lady. I loved the 'daisy duke on speed' speak comment from Annabelle.
By the looks of things I'm really going to love Annabelle. I think I'll like Caprice and Caroline too. I don't think I'll like Juliet that much and the rest I'm not so sure about. Just read the bio of the Julie girl and I did laugh at this. "She was introduced to her husband, Luke Montagu, the Viscount Hinchingbrooke heir to the Earl of Sandwich, by mutual friends"...seriously? I am disappointed that out of the 7 member cast only 2 are actually English. Surely they could have found more English women for a show about Londons social scene. If anything it should have been 2 Americans and 5 English. |

I guess Bravo were worried a show with mostly foreign women wouldn't fly, but I agree they should have had more British cast with a sprinkle of American.

I think only the first 4 seasons went international though, at least in the UK season 5 hasn't aired yet. It'll still get another season.

It's not just about fashion shows. It's about product placement and marketing deals.And of course advertisers pay by ratings, however there are numerous other factors that have to be taken into account. I mean for example what would be more successful? A doctor pitching a tractor to 100 accountants or a tractor salesman pitching a tractor to 1 farmer? Having a large audience is great but if you're using the wrong seller and selling the wrong product then it's all in vain, So yes advertiser pay by ratings but they also pay the type of audience and the shows brand. And the fact is in these areas they will pay more to be attached to the New York brand than the Atlanta? One of the major reason is of course race. As white women are one of the biggest buying demographics, brands which include white women hold a higher premium. And white women from one of the fashion capitals of the world (and by that I don't just mean fashion shows I mean lifestyle) hold an even higher premium. As such even though the ratings might be lower they might still be enough if the brand is right and the audience is right. And is far as I'm aware although they may not be what they were, they are still pretty decent by Bravo's standard increasing the viewership in that timeslot. This is also the reason I've never been convinced Porsha would be sacked or demoted. A lot has been made about the repositioning of the Atlanta audience to the younger female. And race aside the other big buying demographic is young females and out of all the women Porsha fits the brand. Like I've said advertisers might want Nene and Kenya there to bring the ratings but it's Cynthia and Porsha who fit the brands to sell the wares. |

That was one of my favourite housewives lines ever. The poor guy was literally gobsmacked. The scene with Sheree and Nene in the wine shop when they had the rich bitch argument was another highlight. 'I remember you when you had the rotten teeth honey, the rotten teeth'
Like her or hate her, Sheree was great tv. That was great! It was like she tried to stop herself from chasing Nene outside to say things to her but she couldn't. LOL. Quote:

![]() That would be an amazing entrance! NY accent 'DID YA MISSSS ME' EDIT: Brumilad, this is my last post on this topic as I’m not engaging in a repetitive back and forth when isn't really HW related. Advertisements and product placements have a set price depending on the ratings of the show and how often they are featured. It’s the brands that buy an advert slot or placement on Bravo. Bravo don’t decide where they advertise a brand (meaning a brand will only buy a slot if it is relating to their key market), only if they allow them to purchase the slot or not. No matter how you try spin it, Atlanta is bringing in more revenue from advertising than all the housewives shows – that’s why it’s they’re top show. The next closest money maker will most likely be Beverly Hills as they get the freebies (holiday rooms, flights, meals, clothes) from resorts/airlines/restaurants/designers meaning they don't have as much expenses - which New York aren't getting as Carole revealed when she asked for a clothing allowance in her contract and we seen Ramona ask for a cheque last season after her meet with Aviva. |

It's funny you say that because there's a WWHL one on one with Porsha coming up. I think it's either going to be her announcing her departure from the show, they might let her say she's leaving so she can save face...ironic considering she's showed her ass a few times this season lol. Or her place depends on how good the ratings are for this. Those are the only two reasons I can see it being a special, otherwise they would have just done what they did with Kim Richards in season 2 of BH.
I mean last year the WWHL that followed the reunion part 3 was the Porsha's big post split appearance and wasn't it (up to that point) the highest rating WWHL in the shows history? And that wasn't even labelled a 'special'. The reason it's being done is for ratings pure and simple. A Porsha one and one special after the finale of Atlanta should guarantee WWHL far more ratings than a Susan Lucci and Ryan Serhant episode. |

It's crazy how after all this time she's still talked about so much. It shows how relevant to the show is/was and how wrong they were to fire her. They could have just said they were 'resting' her for a season which would have deflated her ego and showed her she wasn't untouchable while giving the show a fresh change and a chance for the new women to fit in. I can't help think that the new women are pale in comparison to the old, even Alex was more entertaining than them. Speaking of Alex, apparently it was Simons website that started the new batch of rumours that RHONY was getting cancelled. LOL.

I enjoy them though form S2 onwards. Alex seems to of stopped doing her video blogs to lately ![]() and over ot NJ.... Look who is having money issues...
