Kim Zolciak Biermann and her brood have been in the Turks and Caicos again filming the finale of Don’t Be Tardy over the past few days.
The main story arc for the season has been a strengthening in the relationship between Kim and Kroy as Kroy tries to figure out what his next chapter is. Kroy being let go by the Buffalo Bills after just a week as well as the Falcons going to the SuperBowl the season after he was dropped took a bit of a toll on Kroy. He was reportedly looking for work in color commentary on the games but that did not materialize either. So he has been doing some soul searching and Kim has gone back to RHOA on a part time basis for Season 10. The new RHOA production crew should be rolling into Atlanta next week. It would not surprise me if quite a few of the Don’t Be Tardy producers take the lead in RHOA production this season. I still haven’t heard who the show runner will be, but if he comes from Don’t Be Tardy that will certainly benefit Kim who has built a good relationship with her production team.
Within the main story arc of “Kim and Kroy’s marriage is stronger than ever,” there are a few subplots. The largest was intended to be the (embarassing) trip to Italy where Brielle hunts for “Olive Garden food.” With two international trips this season, the show has come a long way since the annual road trip to Destin days.
That was usurped a bit by Kash’s horrific dogbite. Kim, like Kyle on RHOBH has a producer credit on Don’t Be Tardy. There isn’t much editorial power that comes with this sort of honorary title, but they are included on field notes and daily production notes and get the rough cuts of episodes. That is really more beneficial in Kyle’s situation than it is to Kim because Kim is in or at least on set for almost every scene. I bring this up only because Kim is trying to control what is shown, or more importantly what is not shown regarding the dog bite. While it is clear to us that Kash was bitten by a family dog, most likely Sinn, Kim doesn’t want this shown. I do not think she will get her way on this. There is not way to show the events surrounding Kash’s injuries without ever mentioning the dog.
Brielle’s relationship with Michael Kopech will also be featured. Michael is a minor league pitcher who has had some obstacles to his path to the majors. In 2015, he was benched for 50 games after failing a drug test for disallowed substances. He claims he did not knowingly take the substance which is a stimulant found in weight loss substances and that he was actively trying to gain weight. Then in 2016 he broke his hand in an altercation with a team-mate. The details of that instance were unclear. By all accounts he is an excellent pitcher with fast balls that at times exceed 100 mph. They have been dating for a year. They do a lot of traveling in the off season and things seem very serious.
So how did the season end? With a vow renewal in Turks and Caicos of course. I am surprised they were allowed back to Turks and Caicos, to be honest. Will this be the kiss of death for their marriage? It seems that vow renewals never lead to a lifetime of happiness on reality shows. Kim and Kroy married on 11/11/11 the very same day that Yolanda Hadid married David Foster. At least they managed to out last them.
Will you be watching Don’t Be Tardy’s sixth season?
I’ll be watching! While I don’t always agree with everything Kim does, I adore her & her beautiful family.
I hope Kroy makes it. As a FANATIC football fan (PatsNation; sorry Atl!) since I was a baby girl, I assumed Kroy would be welcomed into the analyst seat. He’s handsome, well-spoken and he was SCARY RIDIC good … Surprises me that he hasn’t had offers.
* Would just like to add: When Kenya made that diss regarding him during her catfight fight Kim, I was offended. The fact Kroy lasted as long as he did, in the position that he did, is a HUGE success on its own. Not many do.
Okay, that’s all. Can’t wait for Season 10 !
Yay Pat’s Nation! Hope he makes it too. I feel bad for anyone who all of a sudden finds themselves unemployed and even worst unemployable.
He was NOT that good at all. Solid player for a few years but if he was as good as you think he’d still be playing….and he’s not.
Agree. Nor is he a smooth talker. I could never see him in a broadcasting spot.
A vow renewal? Hmm. Not my favorite storyline since it’s usually a bit much, but if she is returning to RHOA, think I’ll watch this season. Only watched bits and pieces of past seasons. Why not, shows are limited lately on Bravo.
No. Sorry to say I am not a fan of this vapid self absorbed family. Kids are cute, but Brielle is a hot mess.
Kim is trash. I thought the kid was bitten by that big brown dog. I saw a pic of it. Was that not real?
People who do vow renewals are usually failing at marriage.
After vow renewal , next stop a paycheck from Reality Marriage Boot camp. WeTV’s show for the desperate D-list. Just go away Kim forever.
I can’t see Kim doing Marriage Boot Camp as she tells us that her marriage is perfect, she’s perfect, Kroy’s perfect, see a trend here…. Besides Kroy would not speak negatively about their marriage or her because I don’t think she would allow that. The first couple of seasons it seemed like Kroy had some say, now it seems like Kim is more in charge of the brood. Or Kroy is just that “perfect” and she does have everything she wants whenever she wants it. I would love to live in Kim’s world for a day to see just how “perfect” ? it really is.
I’m a fan of Kim but I watch Don’t Be Tardy here and there. But what caught my eye was, Kyle has producer credit on RHOBH? I googled this but found nothing regarding that.
You google search should have lead you to here. We’ve discussed it many times.
It probably led him here because you’re the only one claiming this. All credits for the show have nothing about Kyle being a producer. Nothing listed on IMDB nor Wikipedia. Kyle has said she gets the episode tapes a week before the episode airs like the rest of the cast. The only thing Kyle had a part in was casting and she was never even credited for that. If Kyle Richards were a producer of this show we would never hear the end of it. The fact that you can’t find one thing about it ANYWHERE besides here should tell you that she’s not a producer of RHoBH. Kim Zolciak IS an executive-producer of Don’t Be Tardy and is listed as such. Can we stop with this fairytale already?
Ummm, TT AND Kyle both claim this. If you follow Kyle on social media it isn’t hard to keep up.
I have told you SEVERAL times that this has even been discussed ON FUCKING CAMERA on RHOBH during the muchausen scene. So either have a seat and shut the fuck up about the subject or wander off somewhere and fuck yourself in the ass with a chainsaw, but I am not going to continue to argue with you about things you have no fucking clue about.
Didn’t mean to start anything. I just found that Interesting but I believe you TT. I would’ve never thought a housewife could get producer credit, hey more power to her. Is she the only one out of all the franchises that has PC because I thought I read somewhere Vicky has it on OC.
No worries, Ken. MrPrez is like a dog with a bone with this issue and simply doesn’t have access to the information. When RHOBH began, Kyle was the first housewife and because she has an acting background and experience in the industry her opinion was highly valued. There are producers, executive producer, producers in title only, all sorts of different levels of production. Kyle is looped in on all the notes and production group emails for the show. She has little klout in the final decisions but has a voice and access to the rough cuts.
On the Munchaussen series, Yolanda was furious with Kyle because she knew she was part of the production emails. I forget why that bother her so, I suppose it was because Kyle knew about the Munchausen stuff as it was in the field notes and production notes. Kyle pretends like she doesn’t pay attention to all of that stuff anymore, but Yo felt betrayed about something to do with one of the production email lists. She made it into a bit deal.
I don’t think any of the other housewives on any franchise have that same level of access to information. I also don’t think Kyle has time to read all the flurries of emails on the producers email list but she can. I am not sure if she got paid for anything after the first episode but she likely gets a small fee.
Once the women wised up to this, they demanded production rights on their own shows, Nene made up some dumb production company LLC for her spinoff, they are not paid producers. It is just something for them to put on their IMDb resumes which is clearly to important to some housewives and people who name themselves after the offspring of felons and frauds.
In Kim’s situation the only power it gives her is the power to know when she needs to pitch a fit about something. 🙂 Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t we’ll have to see about the dog bite issue but I’ve heard it’s not working so far. 🙂
If you’re a producer on this show then why is it like finding the fucking Holy Grail to get a producing credit? Why isn’t she listed in the end credits like ALL the other producers? Why is she not listed on IMDB? Why do LVP, Nene Leakes, Kim Zolciak and all the other reality stars with spin offs have easy to find producing credits yet Kyle has zilch? I would love to see the receipts that state otherwise, but until then all we have are the musings of wannabe superstar Kyle Richards. It shouldn’t be that hard to come up SOMETHING.
I do remember seeing her name credited on the screen as a producer in season 1, but haven’t paid attention since. But Kyle definitely had/has RHOBH producing credit.
Just a beautiful, beautiful family photo. Love beach weddings.
I like this show for much the same reason as I like Crissley. At the core is a loving family that despite various hijinks support one another. I don’t want to see alot of fighting and evil twists all of the time. Kim’s family is beautiful, Kroy clearly loves her and the kids, while precocious are not mean spirited. I’ll absolutely watch.
Kim is so desperate for the money from reality tv that I will bet her storyline will be getting artificially inseminated or getting kroys vasectomy reversed. She needs a storyline bad.
I’m so rooting for this family. They have such a beautiful bunch of kids and production driven or not, I think they really love each other. Thankful Kash will be okay. I’ll be watching!
Vow Renewals by Bravo do not have a great track record.
kim & kroy do have a beautiful family but it would be nice if she stopped sexualizing brielle and swearing in front of all the kids. last season i noticed some of the little boys are starting to swear as well!!! Disgusting!!
I don’t particularly care for Kim anymore, she seems to spe alternate truths rather than just be the blunt personality I started to watch and reallly liked. I also have respect for her that she is protective of her dog. We don’t know what happened and for people to automatically assume it was a pitbull that mauled her child and call for the dog to be destoyed is just awful. My youngest child who is 7 has done things to my dogs that could have caused a bite but I was right there to pull him backand correct him. He was not so lucky with my mother’s dogs, one who was a 10 year old yellow lab, which required 16 stitches in my child’s face. My mother wanted to put the dog down and I begged her not to because my eldest children told me he was sitting on the dog and pulling his ears back making him yelp. A dog is like any other beign and will protect itself when it feels the need. My mother’s dog never showed any kind of aggression to my son, in fact my son would walk up tot he dog and I would scoop him up and the dog never growled or anything. My point being, don;t condemn an animal in a situation you do not know anything about, as well as do not condemn the parents. I am not a huge fan of Kim at this point, but I know what a large family with animals brings to the table. You have a responsibility to your children and your pets to protect them. I’m sure if it was a malicious act on behalf of the dog she would have got the dog out of house. We don’t know what happened so to judge her on this issue is ignorant, especially when she gives so much other ammo as a Parent.
In regards to her and Kroy, I believe they are built to last. I am sure there will be bumps in the road but I think their renewal was just one based in the love they have for one another which is fairy tale-ish. I’m a little jealous, maybe a lot jealous. But I do believe in being fair to people and their situations, no matter what aspect of their life is publicized.
Daisy Dukes are back? Oh, joy.
I’ll watch, dammit. I liked this show for some reason, but thought she was a big ball of stupid on RHOA. I sense more of that coming.
Kim is an awful person on tv so I can imagine who she is in real life. I’m quite upset that she’s crawling her broke ass back to RHOA, especially considering the way she insulted the cast and crew on her way out. I’ve been way over her since she had security escort her parents out of her wedding reception…ppl like her don’t deserve my viewership.
No way are they headed for a divorce…Kroy will stay. Waaaay too many kids to pay child support for. Besides, Kim needs Kroy around to parent. She could never handle it alone.
Dang! i was in Turks all last week I love stalking weddings down there!
I was thinking the dog was Loren- I follow them all on snap and think I saw Sinn but haven’t seen Loren. I’ve also seen Norma the black dog.
I admit to not knowing the dogs. Could you list them for me with descriptions? That would be great because they have it on film… and I would not know any dog but Sinn and the little ones.
Sure! The brown and white one with the blue eyes and is a bit bigger is Sinn. Loren is also brown but I think has brown eyes. They kind of look similar. Norma is the one the adopted last season all black puppy kind of looks like a lab. The two teeny tiny dogs they don’t have anymore. On I think a WHHL kim said the boys were too rough with them so they gave them to their nail people that are sometimes on the show. On their snaps when they are getting their nails done you always see them playing with them in the salon. I’ll think she had videos of the different dogs chasing around her kids in the driveway and stuff on her instagram.
Thanks. I know that Sinn is Kroy’s favorite dog. It’s HIS dog if that makes any sense. When I was living in Libya I was taught to never go near the white dogs there because they were very aggressive. I am a bit more cautious about what I see as white desert dogs.
Stopped watching a show that basically films in a kitchen with constant cussing in front of small kids. Kim looks like she’s had a head transplant in the group shot. If the little ones weren’t so damn cute I’m certain most people who “totally love” this family would sing a different tune. Her trashy, ciggie smoking, cheap wig-wearing antics made for fun tv back when. Now? She’s turned into a cartoon of herself. She literally believes she’s BFFs with Khloe K. A normal person knows there was a snowballs chance in Hell for Kroy to get the seat next to Kelly Ripa. There are plenty of jobs out there but I’m sure she’s convinced Kroy they’re all beneath him. Chop chop Kroy: a fake millionaire lifestyle doesn’t pay for itself.
when i think of KIM i always refer back to what i think was season 1 or 2 and she claimed she had cancer and then on reunion Andy asked her and she gave this long story of how she had it .. but then at the last minute she didnt have it. What a huuuuuuuuge friggin LIAR! shady as hell
