Good luck bravo…looking forward to major improvement via sponsors,and hosts…….look to PBS for guides.
What about Ramona Singer? She’s at the top of the so-called pecking order in NYC society? PUHleeze, this woman can’t even use the proper English grammar. Low class anyone?
It is such a shame that so much tv is devoted to the lowest type of women in most of your Reality shows…….yes drama breeds drama. It is truly like watching a train wreck…..however when is enough enough?…. Interview some intelligent, hardworking people,the Housewives of DC was a great deal above the class of such from Atlanta,Beverly. Hills etc…. Clarifying…..not all the women involved in these shows are lame,they just have to deal with those put in front of them…..wrap it up,mix different housewives…also how about that they be house wives? Not divorced,separated,single,or……whatever…make it really real….not scripted as we know it is……at least be transparent…. A concerned viewer…Bravo used to represent higher values,opera,English movies,concerts etc… Is “Andy Cohen” the Guide here? Background check here?
Please remove Brandi from any housewives…..how on earth would a person like Brandi be s spokesman,comment maker etc.,etc……..she is such LOW Class….Pulease….be embarrassed…if you choose to continue to have this “can’t keep my mouth from lacing everything with a disgusting adjective so I can’t express myself otherwise” person then be my guest for trying to attract audiences,Brandi needs a reality check….we’re she the professional,lady she need not resort to verbiage inclusive of “put her dick on the table,use of bitching words etc…. This certainly doesn’t lead to respect……I personally don’t believe that her Former husband left for another woman,,,he left her for a woman…..not a truck driver mouth with revenge in her heart,a person with little regard for anyone……should you at Bravo wish to continue Bevhousewives……lose ?
Brandi, and consider Lisa as well…….where are the values? Is Brandi a representative of what is believed as an american housewife? I will not watch with this Brandi ,Yolanda,l and Lisa…..you want class and an audience bring it on without these “I really need to have counceling and not necessarily an audience via reality tv……….this is high school crapola. Do your best.
I cannot believe the outpouring of support for everything Brandi says over, no matter how mean or vulgar,by her many fans on the Bravo blogs. If I ever point out the inconsistencies in her “brutal Honesty” her fans cuss me out just like their idol would even though I word things respectfully. I thing Yo jumped on the bandwagon after reading the blogs.
FYI – Eddie did not leave Brandi. Brandi kicked him out after she found out he continued to cheat on her. He didn’t want to leave but she didn’t give him a choice.
Get Tamra off RHOC. She’s retaliatory towards her fans (whom she egomaniacally thinks are “haters”). She said SEVERAL times, “Dont watch the show, if you cant handle it!!!” Okay, I as well as well as over 700 of my Facebook friends will simply block the station. Its not life or death… not for us atleast. Remember what happened to Evalyn Lozado of Basketball Wives? Even Oprah got pissed. If you’re to act like a villain, then as a public figure, you’re going to get responses, criticisms & comments. You’re on OUR cable sets. Tamra reminds me of Al Pacino’s character on The Devils Advocate…. short, vain, & vicious.
She is so viscious to Alexis it made me start liking Alexis because I can’t stand to watch someone being ganged up on like that led by Tamara, of course. Then she went after her ‘old’ BFF, Vicki, while literally kissing and giving gifts to Gretchen, it is disgusting. Then she lets Bravo pay for her “engagement” trip and ring… Eddie is a moron.
SUR is Okay – could be better! Vanderpump on both shows is such a Pain! She is just a aweful person who needs to go off TV!
When is this going to be updated? It’s been weeks!
Get Teresa off of housewives or send her to a psychiatrist. Give Caroline, Melissa, Kathy and Jacquline a better story line. Maybe add 1 or 2 new housewives from NJ.
They’d never get of Teresa, she IS the show. And what do u mean, give them better story lines? It’s supposed to be real. So if u think they need better story lines, that just means u don’t like them bc they’re BORING. So if anything, Bravo needs to get rid of them(aka the boring ppl) and keep Teresa. The only one worth watching:)
