The guy in the photo is Michael Beck, the new showrunner for RHOA. He’s the reason we can’t have nice things. Beck has been on the production team of Don’t Be Tardy since it started. He’s bonded very closely with the entire Tard family. He tells Kim all the things that I hear from my sources. That is why she keeps tweeting that Kenya is fired.
So of course when Kim loses her everlovin’ mind on Kenya, Beck rushes in much like Carlos King did for Porsha on the reunion. If you recall, Carlos rushed out to comfort the assailant who had just violently attacked Kenya. He picked her up like a wounded bird and carried her backstage. Last night, Beck rushed out to check on his beloved Kim.
It was ridiculous, and it is the reason why this season sucks.
There is more bad news. The Bravo suits seem to LOVE Beck. It seems he will be doing either New York, New Jersey or both next season. Please let it be New Jersey, I’m finally starting to like New York again.
You know who else the Bravo Suits just love? Porsha Williams. We’ve all heard the salacious rumors about why, but my source says it is because the suits think she appeals to a stupider younger demographic. There appears to be no getting rid of her, or Kim for next season.
The housewives days HAVE to be coming to an end soon. Which means we really need to start finding other shows not on Bravo to watch.
Fuck Bravo and Andy Cohen.
Amen
Amen, Amen!!
THIS!!!! I love that a double minority enjoys profiting off of the misery of others.
Also, get rid of Kenya. She is pretty much everything that is wrong with the world today…
This show is garbage because most of the ladies are not even “Housewives” to begin with. Just a bunch of nouveau upper middle class maxing out their credit cards to get free things on Instagram…
Super glad to see that idiotic “lawyer” is gone.
How in the he___ is she what’s wrong with the world. Go Google YouTube and see some of the other sh– this stinking country has going on! Really you got some nerve!!!
Hi Kenya, why would I google Youtube? I can just type it in the address bar at the top. Yes I have some nerve calling a turd a turd. I am glad you think that gross commercialism is not a problem with the world. There are people that get paid less per year than these fake idiots do in an hour of taping and they somehow still blow through the money just trying to stay relevant on the show.. I think you just have poor reading comprehension or reasoning abilities.
And yet.. you still watch, read the re-caps and comment. So who’s the fool?
Agree with you, “Real Woman” there’s nothing wrong with Kenya, now Kim or Nene…don’t get me started
Hey Slice! Hope you are doing well, you’ve been kinda quite lately!
Wait! Kenya is what’s wrong with the world? Not the hoe that was sleeping with a married man lied about having cancer and pimped her daughter out to suck someone for concert tickets. What world do u live in?
YYYYYYAAAAASSS! PREACH!!!
Exactly! There are many great shows other than RHs and Bravo. I just don’t see them recapped. I only come here for the recap and don’t watch any of Bravo shows.
All these HW shows seem to be “jumping the shark”. Every season we get girl’s trips, vow renewals, product placement etc. It’s getting old and tired.
Don’t forget colon cleansing, vasectomies & those damnable vaginal rejuvenations.
So sick of seeing housewives spread eagle in the gyno office!
I agree
They’re right about Porsha, my nieces live for Porsha and her insta. I guess they need to start appealing to the younger generation. (My nieces are so tired of hearing me talk about how i started season one RHOOC) hmph. I’ll hang on for a bit longer, I mean, it’s been almost 9 years and I’m still on the Teen Mom train.
You can never get off the Teen Mom train (wreck). It’s impossible.
Oh maybe. Unexpected on TLC. Check it out.
Love Unexpected. And 90 Day Fiance.
Definitely,this season of 90day fiance is so good. 🙂
He didn’t cater for the severe backlash Kim received on Social media. Now Both Nene and Kenya are fighting Kim as such it may not be a given for Kim to return next season. Aww the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
We should add Kandi to that mix!
I think it will be Jersey. They only got 12 eps this season and they’re desperate to keep it going at this point.
Isn’t Atlanta only getting 12 episodes this season also?
I get annoyed sometimes. Dont care for Kim at all. But love Porsha. Not everyone is on the “I hate Porsha” team. Ijs.
But they should be. Porsha is trash.
I agree with you. Porsha has always been trash and always will be. She was entertaining for a season, but that’s all she had to offer.
To you. Not all.
Stupid trash
tard family, roflmao
I finally watched a Season 10 episode. Watching just reinforced that skipping the show this season is a wise use of time for me.
1. Kim: Tard family. ??? It fits. Kim, her daughter, their alien-looking faces, and their eel lips are repulsive.
2. Sheree: Extremely boring.
3. Cynthia: Boring.
4. Porsha: Annoying. Boring. Immature. Whiny. I get that she appeals to a younger demographic, but so would an under 40, vivacious woman who is about more than lying, material things, and looking pretty.
5. Nene: More of the same.
6. Kandi: More of the same.
7. Kenya: I am past ready to see her move on and use her high level of intelligence to do bigger and better things. She would have been a great replacement for Tamar on The Real. Or, is it The Talk? Or, is it The Chat? Y’all know what I mean. Or, she would fit right in as a character on The Haves and Have Nots or If Loving You is Wrong or even Empire. After all, unlike Nene and Kandi who have had tv acting gigs, Kenya was an actress long before RHOA came along.
I absolutely love your op-ed pieces! You run this blog like a newspaper (remember those?). Very readable and incisive. I have come to believe that this little tribe you have here is discerning, intelligent and loyal. Thank you for confirming THAT was Michael Beck. But Tamara, a train wreck involving Kim AND Porsha will be irresistible to me, and that my friend is my destiny to watch.
Look at Kroy jumping in to micro manage his little love muffin. He’s taking charge of the family’s teevee future. Has to do something to prove his worth.
He’s trying desperately hard to keep Kim’s mouth shut. He knows his sports career has ended and he also knows he’s never getting a job as a sports analyst for one of the major networks so he’s trying his best to keep their reality careers going so they can have income.
I’m all in for new shows. 60 days in or whatever the undercover prison show is back January 1, please just start blogging random shit because the housewives are turning into thug life
Good news! I love that show! “Tard family”, hilarious
And I like that you’re liking NY again. Having watched ALL shows from S1 OC, last year RHONY was hands down, no contest, BEST HW SEASON EVER!! They have a seasoned group who know how and like to deliver the goods. Tinsley mixes in well; i cannot wait!!
Agreed. I think I love them for the fact that I know this particular cast, down deep, doesn’t take it all SO FUCKING SERIOUSLY.
You’d never catch them in a group hug sobbing over past grievances. Would they support each other and hug and cry if someone actually lost a loved one due to death? Absolutely. But you KNOW next year that while they’ll be talking about LuAnn’s marriage, it won’t be anywhere near the shitstorm of Brooks and Vicki. There will be a bit of a “damn, Lu, so sorry that we were right” mentality which will annoy but not disgust (as I am disgusting with Vicki, but also disgusted with the others who keep rehashing and screaming about it. Either cut the bitch out of your life or move on.)
I agree, I LOVE NY. They are the one city that has never broken the #1 House Wife commandment of Thou Shalt NEVER ruin a cast trip! LOL.
They know how to brush the [email protected]*$% to the side and have fun! I love the current cast, and if we’re cursed to have this stupid Michael Beck idiot produce the show, I’m hoping the big personalities of Bethenney, Ramona and LuAnn will fight back and not let him ruin the show!
Ready for anything new, 60 days in or the undercover prison show starts Jan 1, I’ll watch it if you blog
Also the undercover high school. Lol, can just imagine how good that’s going to be.
I agree, NYC is the best housewife show by a mile and more. Those women all day long. Until someone can fall down drunk in the bushes like the Countess, I will say NYC forever. Those women really know how to go with it and have fun with their reality jobs and I love watching them get sloppy. Everyone on Atlanta is just miserable and contrived. I used to despise Kenya. Now I really like her. I think she could be a lot of fun if we could just get rid of Kim. Porsha will fall in line then. But honestly she is such a bore.
I will be SO pissed if they fuck with my RHONY. Leave it be! It’s the only franchise where the women are all at least likeable in their own way
In regards to RHoA, I have only caught reruns and simply have given up. Cynthia storyline is too contrived. Porsha will never be friends with any of these women. Kandi clearly is over these women and the BS. Sheree is clearly the producers puppet. Kenya is clearly not into the show anymore and actually has a ton of good in her life (run girl, run!). And Nene is literally the most unwatchable housewife across any franchise. Sorry for the soliloquy.
Couldn’t agree with you more blahblah. Cynthia’s storyline is so forced. Kandi has so many other better projects going on and she knows she’s way better off than the other HWs. Sheree needs to drop the I am so upscale & classy act. We all know she is broke and been arrested for shoplifting at Saks. She does look great for her age though. Kim and Porsha are beyond clueless trash. As for Nene, ughhh. I don’t enjoy watching her as much as I did in the beginning. Does anyone else notice how overly animated she is in her confessionals? Always making wierd faces or doing something strange with her lips. Enough already!

I had to make room on my DVR to tape a couple of football games. There were
(Sorry, that coment posted way before it was done) I had 8-10 episodes of RHOC that I realized I was never going to be interested in enough to watch, so ZAP they went. I then settled in and watched the last 3 episodes of RHOA and realized nothing about these women appealed to me any more. Absence did not improve Nene. Cynthia has turned into a vain, preening old fool in love with herself. They are all just…..overexposed and tiresome. I think I’m gonna delete the rest of RHOA, too.
If he does do New Jersey. I hope he gets rid of Teresa (the convicted thief), Melissa (the solider/ can’t stand another’s year without a storyline) and Danielle (the convicted kidnapper) and brings back Caroline and Jacqueline, because they made the show better not these 3 unless people
Caroline insisted that her husband’s affair is off-limits for discussion on the show, but the HW aren’t allowed to do that. They can’t let one housewife say that sort of thing or ALL the housewives would section off things not allowed to be brought up. So Caroline is at an impasse to being a HW. Instead they gave her the Manzo’d with Children series.
Wasn’t the affair years ago? If Caroline has moved on, WHY SHOULD IT BE ON THE SHOW?
I GET if it is something that happens while filming. Even under a court order/gag order/risk of losing her case, Bethenny’s shitstorm of a divorce was an honest topic as it was happening then. Joe Guidice was caught on a mic talking sexy (well, his disgusting version) and talking trash about his wife. Fair game as far as I am concerned, even now, as questions about his fidelity come up. But if you are a fellow housewife and you bring up some what, 20 year old shit that the couple has clearly resolved just to try to make a scar painful once again? You are a cunt and I’m not interested in that story line.
I just want my Caroline back.
I second that emotion.
Caroline and Jaqueline? Ugh. I could not put up with Jaqueline’s childish antics for a second. Besides, what would her storyline be without Teresa around?
I’m excited for Top Chef to be back. The first LCK aired, online, and the season looks amazing!
I actually like Vanderpump Rules and I do watch RHOBH, but I stopped watching the others. RHOA has just gotten so nasty and every time I see Kim I remember when she was on DWTS and had to go into the hospital and she took the selfies from her bed with no makeup and she was so pretty and natural. I do not recognize this Kim on the show at all. And, nothing nice or positive or intelligent ever comes out of her mouth. And, Kroy has changed so much as well. He was so masculine and take charge at first and now he looks different and acts like her personal assistant and bodyguard. Well, I guess that is his role now. But, he was the voice of reason back then and said his opinion. Now, he just shuffles around like Greg (NeNe) and waits for her to tell him where and when. Beyond pathetic.
I find myself watching Netflix more and more. They have some good shows and picked up Longmire for its last season. Loved that show. Now I’m watching Frontier with Jason Momoa.
Michael Beck is making RHOA unwatchable for me. I do not enjoy watching a group of women act and talk the way this bunch is doing. It’s not fun. It’s not entertainment. It’s just crass. It’s crap.
I am happy for Kandi and for Kenya. The rest are either pitiful or boring or just disgusting and tired.
You are missing out on New York, in my opinion.
Off topic… I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE CROWN SEASON 2!!! Grace and Frankie is still amazingly great, skipped the latest season of Orange (the season before gave me serious anxiety!), but The Crown is hands down my fave.
I binged OITNB when I had a free week of Netflix and felt literally like I was in prison but loved it. Last winter I was all about Young Victoria, (all the versions haha), and PBS had some great commercial free stuff like Call the Midwife, but they are REALLY slacking-off lately. I don’t have a single PBS series right now when last year there were a bunch.
I have seen other comments on NY so I think I will try it – thanks 🙂
I’ve been wondering about The Real Housewives ratings and how low they have to go before Bravo pulls the plug on Andy and the entire franchise.
One thing that I have not been able to figure out is if there are less total cable subscribers overall (well yes I think there are)—-but how that is weighted into ratings. Like if there were x amount of subscribers when Real Housewives was pulling 4 million viewers, and now there are 1.7 million, what is the percent of cable subscribers who have Bravo who watch?
I don’t think we can go by the raw numbers when looking at the ratings fall. But ratings are pretty important although Bravo has that sweet sweet product placement AND they get $$ for the wive’s junk like book sales if I am not mistaken-(or based on individual contracts), AND they have a demo that is going to appeal to certain sponsors, but STILL their day will come and I’m really curious about which way they will go.
We are in a holiday dry spot where Bravo is putting out fresh stuff, so they should do good with that and I still keep up but I always try to keep a regular viewing schedule and besides Unreal coming back in February and The Haves and The Have Nots in January I don’t have much for 2018 yet.
if kim didn’t reconstruct her whole face she’d look just like her homely mama.
I hope you watch and blog Celebrity Big Brother.
Ugh. All we need is another Andy Cohen type. I’m watching this season for Kenya alone, next season I won’t bother. Between Kim and Nene I’m already over this one. And Beck must be going to NJ, no way the NY housewives are going to take his BS.
However I am looking forward to Top Chef this season. I see one of the old chefs are coming back via Last Chance Kitchen and I hope it’s Marcel!
As long as Phaedra Parks is no where around (thief and fraud allegedly) I can watch. I find that they are so competitive, they fight better. But again I will say, coming off RHOC, does not take much to entertain me, lol.
what about WAG’s on E? lol
Like it.
The night of the tree lighting in NYC i saw on Dorinda’s insta story her and Beck in the back of a limo on their way to the tree lighting.
Dare I say, I actually don’t think Michael Beck has done half bad so far? Kim is looking ridic while Kenya still looks like the queen she is. Perhaps my expectations of him were so low I could not possibly be disappointed.
I suggest you reserve judgement until next week’s show when sources say Beck would not let the dinner end until everyone at the table said they thought Kenya’s marriage was fake, and they do all sort of mean spirited stuff. I’m just sayin…
How can I watch RHOA anymore knowing about this guy. I think I was better off thinking it was finally a decent season. And then Kim shows up, ugh.
Hey TT, I hate to bear bad news but judging from his LinkedIn profile it looks like Beck has been assigned to RHONY
Interestingly, Beck was on the RHOA Season 8 and Married to Medicine production teams…so he’s been around
Yeah, He’s been around, but not very long. He’s like ten years old. And his first showrunning was the Tard Show and the second was RHOA. Unfortunately the suits think he’s just the bees knees so he will be ruining other franchises.
But why RHONY? WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? It has just gotten good.
Let’s hope Bethenny hates him. May help. He seems much better suited for RHNJ. I’m going to be so sad if RHNY is ruined.
This guy and story about this guy is really odd. Something just seems weird. As if he has WAY too much power.
Don’t fuck with the NYC housewives. They hold the biggest clout, can and WILL get a producer fired.
Great review! This show has been All about Kenya for many years now. I don’t understand why Kim is there. Is she there to come for Kenya? Whorsha belongs in Love and Hip crowd not here. She a total misfit, which is why all the unbalance and mess with her. This show is HATE for women! The men aka producers, they have running it must really hate women. It’s sad to watch. It’s no longer fun, fabulous, women living their lives with hubby and or family. Just hate filled women, pushed by misogynistic producer men, producing garbage.
I must of missed something. I noticed that Beck and Kim no longer follow each other on IG!
Beck is not longer working with RHOA and DBT has one season in the can that is waiting to be aired.
Thank goodness for small favours!
