The Biermann Bunch is currently filming their sixth season of Don’t Be Tardy. But first, Kim and Brielle had to fly out to LAX for more plastic surgery. Allegedly. One assumes. On the way out of LAX Kim stops to talk to the ever present TMZ cameras about the rumors of her return to RHOA for the landmark season 10.
Kim basically said she would consider returning if the price was right. The TMZ story read a lot into that saying that she expects to be paid more than Nene. Kim did not say that. However, she and Nene have had a similar battle before. The two were supposed to do a spin-off with just the two of them on a cross country trip kind of like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. But the production was cancelled because the two could not get their schedules to work out. At least that was the public reason. Nene’s schedule at that time was To Tell the Truth and that was a one week taping gig. Also, she had just blown her RHOA negotiations in a way that I am surprised she was even allowed to return for a single episode. So the money negotiations are going to be difficult for Nene for season 10 as Bravo has already set hard limits.
Kim can point to the success of her spin-off as justification for a high dollar contract. Kim implied that in the video clip. What’s Nene been up to lately? Events that are usually side jobs for the housewives in the off season, small clubs, and multilevel marketing franchises. Kim will want to be the highest paid housewife and likely will be.
She also wants Kandi gone. Here is the thing. Porsha and Sheree are by far the two lowest paid housewives and the cheapest to keep. Kandi is pricey but a great source of conflict for Kim. So that may put Phaedra and my beloved Cynthia in danger. But it is way too early to tell at this point. The decisions will be all about money. Bravo has finally figured out they don’t have to pay these fools that much to humiliate themselves on TV and on the new franchises the pay is considerably lower than was the original shows are still paying out. I’ll keep my ears open when the discussions begin in earnest.
If Nene and Kim were to both return, which two housewives would you want to see gone or demoted to a friend slot?
Phaedra and Kenya.
Both of their shticks are beyond tired at this point. I like Cynthia but I also wouldn’t care much if she was let go because she doesn’t bring much storyline wise. I can’t stand Kandi but as you mentioned, she’s too much at the center of drama with Porsha (lowest paid) and potential drama with Kim.
I like Kandi and Cynthia, but maybe it’s time for them to go. Neither really bring anything . Same thing with Porsha and Sheree, but I see your point about them being the cheapest to keep.
FOR SURE demote or get rid of Kenya…kind of over her and the matt drama…and now that her house is built what else does she really have to bring to the show. we know she isnt with matt so they arent going to recycle a matt story or house story.
This show needs to get back to the way it was in the earlier seasons before Kenya and Porsha came on. It needs new producers and new wives ASAP, and to get back to actual storylines other than going to lunch and throwing shade all damn day. Nene has a new boutique and on fashion police, Sheree has a new book and on a mini book tour, Kenyas hair products are finally going to be sold in stores, Cynthia is all over promoting her eyewear and hosting pageants and Kandi is back with her platinum group Xscape among other things. All of those things going on, mixed with group events with the ladies and out of state trips make for great television, not that lesbian BS we’re seeing now. Kim, Nene, Sheree, Kandi, Kenya and Cynthia are my top picks for season 10 hands down.
LoveJones, you are so right–the show “needs new WIVES asap.” Enough already with the weak and far-fetched story lines!
When Kim left this show she had her spin-off and Kroy was making millions with the Atlanta Falcons. Now his football career is all but over, she needs the money. The ladies mostly had an awkward at best relationship with Kim. None except for Sheree were close to her. Remember she met Kroy through Sheree. I have made no secret of my dislike for Kim but honestly I really feel she no longer fits in with this group. I feel certain if Kroy were still hauling in the big bucks or she could make Brielle happen, she would not be considering a move to get back on the show. Look at Kroys face in the scene at Sheree’s. He looks like he can’t stand any of these women.
He is a redneck from the most racist po art of the US. Reminds me why do they want her back considering the racist comments she made when they were last together.
I love all of them, but Porsha, “you in danger girl!” 🙂
They would never demoted Kenya so y’all can get that out of y’all head. I don’t want Kim back on the show I never liked her she left let her stay gone. They can removed Porsha Sheree and Phaedra and find some new women be on the show. It’s time for a change. I think Carols King need to go too !!!!
You seriously just said everything I was about to type. I feel the EXACT same way. Thanks
Yes, Kell!!! I totally agree. Let’s not entertain Kim coming back at all. She doesn’t have a relationship with any of the ladies. Kandi has way too many real things going on in her life to rehash “Tardy For The Party ” drama. So what does Kim really have to offer(unless you’re into vain selfies and foul-mouthed children)? At least Nene has established relationships on the show.
Ditto ! My thoughts. Exactly !!❤
I know that heiffa is willing to go back with that unemployed husband and them 30 kids she got. Hell, she might even get back with Big Poppa.
I want Phaekdra gone. She seems so dishonest to me, frontin’ on career levels, I mean does she even show up at mortuary or law office? And I feel she threw shade at Kandi and TOdd for a long time and just assumed the bones in her closet would never be accounted for by Sheree or anyone else. I wouldn’t cry if Porsha or Kenya left either. I do like Cynthia and am way more interested in her independence after divorce than Phaekdra’s. I just can’t believe anything she says anymore.
I miss Season 1 Nene and Kim! Porsha has to go, that over grown child got nothing to offer but her anger and aggressiveness. Sheree should have never bring brought back. Maybe when they film Season 20 we can add Sheree back in she should have her Chateau finished by then right? Maybe?
I’d really like to see Porsha and Phaedra gone. Porsha is still a liability, anger management or no and Phaedra never really allowed us to see who she really is. Phaedra has spent so much time building up a persona, I’m not sure she knows who she is anymore. I really really really dislike Sheree and she and Bob can just be gone. I’d love to see Kim put in her place Nene and the other ladies on this show. You know they are not going to put up with Kim’s constant lies. It could be interesting.
It’s definitely time for Porsha to go. I really had high hopes that she would’ve had such an interesting storyline after her divorce, but it never happened. I actually don’t think I’d really miss any of them after this season’s snoozefest. This franchise needs a breath of fresh air!
I’m really surprised by this. I thought Kim had had it for good with RHOA. I don’t see them dumping Kandi anytime soon, but you never know. I wouldn’t care if Porsha left, to be honest. And Sheree adds nothing, except a lot of fake storyline, which drives me bonkers.
well, Kenya isn’t going anywhere – and that’s that.
Kandi is expensive, but they (Andy) like her, she films with anyone and was at the center of every conflict this season except Kenya/Matt and Kenya/Sheree (which is why i don’t understand the “Kandi adds nothing to the show” comments). she’s got the baby, this restaurant that still isn’t open, built in conflict with Kim and the Xscape reunion. it may be a matter of whether she’s willing to accept a pay cut.
since they are throwing it back to the old seasons, our carrier pigeon Sheree is pretty much a given – unless she does something dumb off season.
i don’t like Porsha, but she IS cheap, she’s pretty and (for whatever reason) has a large following. the problem is is Phaedra leaves *crosses fingers*, who will Porsha film with? maybe she’ll befriend Kim. what is that saying about an enemy of my enemy is a friend of mine? we know that Kim and Kenya will never happen. i’ll admit that i was looking forward to seeing Porsha vs Phaedra though.
i love Miss Cynthia…but i think her time may be up. maybe her and Peter will reconcile?
i may be in the minority, but i’d actually like to see Deshawn…whatever her last name is now. she’s an OG too and although she was boring, she was also so ridiculous that it made me chuckle. she’s had a bit of drama since then.
to summarize, Phaedra and Cynthia should go for reasons that TT stated, and Deshawn should come back as a friend. i can picture the reunion sofas now: Nene, Kenya and Kandi on the left, Kim, Sheree and Porsha on the right.
It is hard for me to imagine Kim in this group now, to be honest. But that is partially because it is so amorphous and unimpressive that it is very hard to find any purpose other than to laugh at more than half of them, frankly. They have each been on vacation this season, bringing Zip to unite them in any purpose other than self-gratification and justification.
I would send Porsha, Phaedra, Sheree and Kenya off without a thought ,
If NeNe is coming back ,though, Kenya and KIm would drive her crazy, which could be fun. Cynthia would be the good friend ballast for her, I guess , and while Marla appearances would be mandatory, I don’t think I could stand that group together, they would be so collectively obnoxious and stupidly arrogant. It would all be a question of what is tolerable. Unless there was a great deal of maturation on most ladies’ parts, I don’t think it could be more than a slugfest.
That would leave Kandi for discussion and unless she shows something new, her days should be done, too. The next development in the Mama Joyce /Todd ratchet days would be too negative for onscreen moments. Cynthia is out of roles unless Nene is back, and if she is, it would survive one season, until she drove everyone to complete distraction, and the show ends,
JMO.
In the preview for the rest of the season, Kim & Kenya get into a huge fight at the Chateau Sheree party. If Kim comes back, Kenya isn’t going anywhere.
Nene- I can’t stand Nene’s “rich bitch” altitude but she’s a great comic relief with her one liners.
kim.- I can’t stand Kim’s “am better than everybody”altitude and obsession with body image but i love to see her kids running loose.
Kandi- i love mama Joyce, kandi and her gang, make good tv.
Kenya- with or without storyline, she makes great tv. Atleast, she got brain and can hold intelligent conversations.
Phaedra- soo fake and too boring, without Apollo she can recycle to friend of the show
Cynthia- without Peter, she’s very boring
Porsha- too dumb and naive, drop her off the train
Sheree- too delusional & double-minded. keep her as friend of the show.
Season 10 will be epic with Nene, Kenya, Kim , kandi & 2 new housewives.
Porsha, Sheree and Phaedra can all go immediately. They have no storylines and contribute nothing.
Cynthia, while I do like her, is boring and could probably just be a FOH at this point.
Kandi I’m kinda “eh” on, but I get a kick out of here Kandi Koated Klique talking sh*t about everyone and their mama.. She could be a ‘greater’ FOH
I love Kenya, and she isn’t going anywhere anyway.
I’m pretty sure I heard on an ad during Heather Dubrow’s podcast that Kim has her own podcast coming out too.
Sorry, but fk Kim. She shouldn’t get to leave, curse out all the women & call them all kinds of bitchs, turn up her nose like they stink and vow never to work with them again -then not only get to come back when her doofus husband loses his job but, get a say in whether a HW stays or goes. She isn’t even faking the fact that she isn’t feeling any of these ladies with her sarcastic replies about whether she will return- it is strictly about the paycheck. As much as I cannot stand Phaedra and Porsha she shouldn’t be the one to take anyone’s job. I know I don’t want to see her trashy, lying as. We may as well keep the two P’s. These women are fools if they dont try and block her return.
I think they should keep Sheree and Cynthia and add back Nene and Kim. The four of them have more of an organic relationship than the rest and the show needs the balance of Cynthia’s class to not come off as gutter trash.
Kandi and Phaedra both have no place on the show now that their friendship is over. It is obvious nobody genuinely likes Phaedra. Kandi seems very over the show and content being around her crew. Kenya and Porsha were good additions the first season they came on, but both have been pretty painful to watch as of late. I like Kenya, but I don’t think she fits the show anymore.
That being said, use those 4 and draw in 2 non-ratchet women and the show will be good again. Also, if Nene can get through one sentence without being over the top extra that’d be cool too.
Kenya absolutely and Phaedra. Kenya is not and NEVER has been a housewife. I don’t think they have ever had that in any of the Bravo franchises.
Jo De La Rosa, ding ding.
Oh, wow, TeeDee, that takes me back! I haven’t thought about Jo in ages. That also made me suddenly remember Slade first season on RHOC. ICK.
Good God, Kim what did you do to your face? It looks like rubber.
I don’t really care but if both Kim and Nene are back, there better not be a gang up on Kenya again.
Porsha and Sheree. Bye.
I wish Kim hadn’t done that shit to her face. Even worse is Brielle.
I’d like to see Kim and Nene back. At least it would be entertaining to watch, maybe. I’m kinda bored with it now, to be honest.
No thanks – to Kim coming back. Her tardy show is boring AF she would do nothing but just try and cause contrived mess like sheree and petty arguments. We have enough of that thanks. She is just a thirsty random now. Stay gone Kim and take Marlo with you.
RHOA dream cast: Nene, Kim, Kandi, Marlo AND then pick a few new people, people who actually have money and things going on. Kenya is boring, no man, no kids, absolutely nothing going on, Porsha is the same as Kenya but you can add ghetto to her list, Sheree is broke and boring, Phaedra and Cynthia bring nothing to the show, both are divorced and boring.
