Now there is a title I never thought I’d have to use again. For reasons I really do not understand, Bravo is filming yet another season of Don’t Be Tardy. But the ridiculousness doesn’t end there.
Someone genius somewhere decided to try to make the upcoming season of Don’t Be Tardy more like The Simple Life. Remember when Kim Biermann and Nene Leakes were supposed to film some sort of Simple Life type of cross country show? Well it’s now been sort of morphed into Don’t Be Tardy.
An Exclusive Tamara Tattles Source reports that the Biermann Bunch loaded up into an RV headed out on their cross country mission about a week and a half ago. And it sounds like it is already a disaster. It’s rained more days than not. The logistics of filming across state lines has been problematic. Each state has different filming rules so an attorney needs to be present to work out all the filming permits.

Everyone is cranky. And the source says that the Biermann bunch is eating their feelings. They are eating their way through half the food budget for the entire season in less than two weeksof filming. Honestly though, they have six kids. I don’t think production realized how expensive it is to feel a family of eight who are accustomed to eating whatever they want whenever they want.

The season will focus a lot on Kim and Brielle being clueless as they discover rural America. Doesn’t that sound like fun? It’s meant to be a scripted, non-scripted comedy. It’s not really hard to laugh at Kim and Brielle. So, they will probably get their comedy. And I will probably watch. Because to be honest, Don’t Be Tardy can be a pretty good show. I just hate thirty minute shows.
On the show they will pretend they are are living in the RV but in actuality, they are staying in hotels all along the way. And let’s just say that the lovey dovey Instagram photos Kim posts do not depict the actual mood on board. Can you imagine traveling in an RV for five weeks with six kids? There is a lot of drama involved. Production is actually taking shifts to keep their sanity. A week or so on and then they trade out. Not all the positions. Just the higher ups who can pull rank.
So will you be watching Don’t Be Tardy meets The Simple Life?
I saw they were in Columbus Ohio eating at a very expensive restaurant especially for Columbus standards. Idk how much their meals get comped for promotion puposes also Kim was tagging total wines thanking them for getting her opus one in the middle of no where. Idk what her income is looking like nowadays but it doesn’t seem like her Brielle or Ariana post anything unless it’s promo related
That *thank you* to Total Wine was her way of saying sorry for the disgusting rant mostly she & Brielle [and a bit of Kroy when his boss would let him speak] spewed on her podcast last Thursday. It was embarrassing & horrible all at once. You can find it by googling House of Kim.
Can you give up a recap of the rant?
go to House of Kim podcast I believe it’s June 21st 2019 and you can hear it it is horrible have they talked about this lady at the liquor store because she made Brielle obey the law.
I don’t have time for podcasts. Nor do I want to support Kim Biermann. I just asked that someone explain whatever stupid shit she said. I’m not really that interested.
I hope you don’t mind me answering this…
The woman wouldn’t sell Brielle all (3 Magnums) of her opus one. She would only sell her one Magnum, so they (Kim, Brielle and Kroy) were bitching about it and calling the woman ugly and said that she was jealous because of that, and that’s why she hated Brielle, etc.
Got news for Kim, Troy and Brielle, Brielle is the ugly one. That girl gets uglier by the day with those stupid balloon lips
Now who is being so ugly by judging her lips,. That is their business as to how they do things. I think the show is no worse than any other reality shows
TY Lori! It was that and so much more. Not only was the *only one bottle* policy an issue slso Brielle was upset about getting carded because under 30 rule, they asked for Zach’s ID which apparently she took as harassment, and she presented Kroy’s credit card which the clerk also took issue with. They were calling the woman a bitch, etc. etc. Way too much to unpack here in comments.
The new laws are so crazy with asking for ID, it is dumb enough that I get carded at the grocery store when my SON is old enough to drink, but I saw them card a woman that was at least 80! That is their stupid rule though, and I am not going to bitch out the poor cashier who has to enforce it. Asking for ID for a 20 something happens everywhere now. What asshats, that family
Not mad at all. Thanks for sharing. Remember when Kroy seemed like a good person?
Yep, I do. Kroy got some cute kids out of the deal but he sacrificed the rest of his entire family because of that trash box Kim, along with his dignity. He came out on the losing end. Heaven help those kids.
Yes! We used to think that his “good” would rub off on her, but instead, it seems like her bad just rubbed off onto him. Womp womp. It’s disappointing.
He seems little more now then someone to hold her pocketbook when she’s having her picture taken. She snipped his balls. Since shortly after the wedding, he doesn’t even have a relationship with his family anymore.
What restaurant in Columbus were they at??
Jeff Ruby’s
That is a very expensive restaurant, located about 5 mins from my home. I was going to have a reception there, it is very beautiful inside. Now I am rethinking that location. Ugh.
HELL TO THE NO!
Amen!
I just can’t. I was done years ago.
No I never have watched and never will
Yes. I love this show
This past weekend they were in st.louis (chesterfield area)…and in Branson Missouri now!
Chesterfield? Hardly “rural” Midwest. Real curious what Branson thought of them.
Umm, that’s a No from me TT.
It’s like a train wreck, you can’t stop watching! Kim is so predictable, always bragging, like she’s not used to having $$$$!
Do you think maybe Bravo sent them on a road trip while they figure out what to do about continuing to film in Atlanta? I like the show. It’s mindless entertainment without the annoyance of women fighting with each other.
Nope this was a deliberate choice they made to help boost ratings in the target market which is a younger audience. Thus the whole Simple Life theme and Brielle getting more airtime.
I noticed the hard push by Bravo promoting Brielle a couple months ago on my news feed. I personally can’t stand Kim or her clone. I used to like them until they both became so desperate. I purposely don’t click on anything to do with that family, unless tt has something to say. I could say alot more but I’ll stop here. Because. I’m tired and I just ate a plate of enchiladas. Carb coma.
Was their verde sauce involved? Because I love me some enchiladas verde.
I watched in the early years. Liked how lovely and natural Brielle and Ariana were; thought it reflected well on Kim as a mom. NO MORE. If this new iteration is to get BRIELLE more screen time then I am out. Go to college, girls; you are blessed with $. Make the most of your opportunities, not the least.
Brielle is not smart enough for college. This is by far the highest paying job she will ever have unless she becomes a yacht girl. I don’t think she is pretty enough for that now. She was before all the surgery, but not now. She needs to start investing her earnings now. She needs to start an IRA NOW.
It’s good that she loves Chic-Fil-A though. She can work the drive thru later.
Teresa miraculously went to college and worked as a buyer or something like that for Macy’s. I haven’t watched the show. Is Brielle dumber than Teresa?
Teresa didn’t go to college. She went to FASHION “college” And when I was 17 or 18 I worked at Macy*s. They wanted to fast track me into management and then buyer. I went to college. Actually, I was already IN college at 17.
She went to Berkley which in those days was a secretarial school that offered computer classes and a “major” in fashion merchandising. It was probably a year or two program tops. Kids who couldn’t make it anywhere else in NJ went to Berkley. She was also just an assitant buyer at Macys, they hire people right out of school for that job.I wouldn’t be surprised if she worked there less than a year.
Damn, you’re savage, and I’m laughing. I had thought that Ariana was college material, but she seems to have gone the plastic route. Investing, is that something they understand?
I had hopes for Ariana, too.
It really sucks about Ariana. The first few years of RHOA it appeared that she was bright and really applied herself as well. She seem a bit contemptuous of her not-so-bright sister but a sweet kid. I don’t watch Tardy often so I was stunned when I saw pic’s of Arianna with Brianna and Kim-they all looked like plastic surgery rejects. I wonder if Kroy will push her to attend university because if Kim smells the potential to earn a dollar she won’t encourage her. Horrible people. I hope they have college funds for those kids…
I’ve caught a few episodes during the binge session and it’s not bad. I guess all these shows this year by Bravo are using the RV theme in some fashion, but this beats Brielles fake apt story!
I will watch–I find them to be mindless fun.
Yes. GUILTY. I abhor myself. I love those children though. Super sweet kids ! # barren uterus
Sorry to hear about your uterus Marc. TT has my email if you need to talk…xxoo. I too have a (now) barren uterus and wouldn’t use it again if I could but I have a few chin hairs I’d be happy to spare for anyone in need.
Fingers crossed for recaps. I no longer record DBT but I do watch most of each season and giggle quite a bit. A road trip with family is charged enough but eight family members, even with hotel stays and breaks from each other? Could bring out some fun stories amongst us as well.
TT travel tip #1. Always travel alone.
I’m perplexed as to why a man would be making barren uterus hashtags…
#barrenpenis
HATE this show! Cannot stand Kim. Haven’t watched in years.
I quit watching all Bravo shows a couple years ago. I prefer to read the tea from TT.
I tried not to watch last season, but there wasn’t much mindless escape TV on their night. The “littles” crack me up. So does “Chef” Traci. I’m guessing she isn’t in the RV, but maybe she is in a pup tent outdoors.
Ugh… it’s like Homer Simpson and the rotten sandwich… you want to leave it in the trash, where it belongs, but you keep pulling it out for one more disgusting bite.
Apt description. Totally agree.
Yup. I’m all in. What about Chef Tracey?
Your name is associated with a site that has a shit ton of lawsuits. You may want to rethink that….
I don’t me to imply that you are associated..l I mean to say that, perhaps a name change is in order before all of the court stuff.
Eeek!
I’ll probably watch. I always say I’m not going to then I do. It’s really not a bad show. More warm-spirited than other Bravo shows.
Are Kim and Brielle really as stupid as they act? I remember Brielle on the phone with a restaurant ordering crab cakes but the restaurant was out so she decided on carrot cake because they both are orange and carrots look like legs. Seriously?!?! Kim is driving with Kroy in his home town and he points out a a pasture of antelope. Kim said are they like cantaloupes. Really?!
I don’t think Kim is that stupid, but Brielle is as dumb as a box of hair. I did like the early couple of seasons, but it got cringe worthy.
I am not sure if Brielle is playing dumb because she thinks it is cute or not. I think it is a bit of both this show is VERY over produced the whole fake apartment thing last season (?) was retarded. The infamous crab cake thing was definitely scripted. My understanding is that Brielle got a raise this season.
Kim’s Bravo contract is to be paid the same as Nene per episode. Both have Most Favored Nation contracts. This means she likely gets her $100K per episode for DBT as well. Or maybe it is $50K since it is a half hour show. Whatever it is, she gets paid. Kroy gets paid Brielle gets paid. I don’t think Clone #2 gets a check yet.
Glad this show is is back.Can’t wait for the shady camera mans moments .When he pans into Kroy’s rear view.
But you showing bias.If you thought you wouldn’t have to say it again.
I boycotted the last season just because of her racist attitudes on the reunion. This shit show will be hard to resist.
I might rationalize watching in the idea that it is keeping Brielle off of welfare….
Too sad and fake for me. Haven’t watched for years.
I’ll watch. Mindless fun.
I cannot STAND trash-box Kim or her two vapid, ignorant daughters. So of course I’ll watch. (Le sigh)
Chef Tracy is a Mom of a toddler. I wish they’d show her son. Isn’t Ariana the smart one who Kroy was determined would go to college? Nothing about the lot of them is endearing. Even the “littles” are cussing little snobs.
Didn’t she adopt the kid? Has she shown pics of his face? If she’s doing the foster to adopt way, she might not be allowed to show his face yet. My friends got their son practically at birth, but couldn’t show his face on social media for several years (but it took a while for their adoption to finalize)
Nope. Because I will want to beat them all like their mama should have. Adults and children. Not one damn ratings tick from me. Bravo is starting to piss me off and I have been a faithful viewer since its inception.
I subscribe to a couple of YT channels that are about families traveling in RVs full-time with as many as 9 kids, so theoretically it can be done. But obviously, the parents (and kids) have much different personalities than the Biermanns’.
Why on earth would anyone want to pile that many people in an RV? That sounds miserable.
About two eps into DBT last season I was finally done for good. I could not handle Brielle or Kim’s plastic faces anymore or their stupidity. Don’t think I will watch this version either but I will be reading recaps to see if I should give it a chance. Not holding out any great hope.
I WILL watch every episode. I love the family, the fun times, etc. Guess I’m in the minority but I’ve watched
these kids grow up and will continue to do so.
I don’t see why Kim is getting all the flack when Lisa R., LVP, Tamara, Vicki, and others are so disgusting yet
some adore them. I love the family aspect of this show be that it may.
Furthermore I think it should be an HOUR instead of 30 measly minutes. Just when my appetite gets wet it is over.
Did anyone else see Kim’s most recent snap that they are stranded in Tulsa ?
HOW does this keep getting renewed? I don’t know anyone who watches it or who likes KZB. They’re horrible.
I think young people watch it. That is all Bravo cares about.
All of the Bravo shows start a way and end a way. At the beginning you get mostly normal people and after a few seasons of Bravo paycheck the mostly normal people morph into people who have a glam squad entourage and have acquired champagne taste. So at the end you are watching pretty much the same show as all the other shows.
So true.
I will only read recaps here. Still smarting (no pun intended) over Kim’s racist comments from RHOA.
