Ten days before Bravo Fyre Fest, I mean Bravo Con, they are finally telling the suckers what they signed up for. As previously announced, “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” will film its biggest show yet on Friday, November 15 at the Hammerstein Ballroom. It will be filmed in front of the largest audience in the show’s history along with having the most Bravolebrities ever sharing the same stage. Other events include Luann’s Countess and Friends cabaret show, a Vanderpump Rules After Hours Party, Top Chef culinary experiences, Southern Charm brunches, a Real Housewives museum, a Bravo bazaar marketplace, immersive photo opportunities, exclusive sneak peek screenings, and more.
LGBT Panel
There will also be an LGBT forum. The topic is LBGT representation on Bravo shows. That’s great! But the panelists are Sandy Yawn, Reza Farahan, Patricia Altschul, LeeAnne Locken. Moderator: Anthony Ramos, GLAAD Director. This screams for Miss Lawrence if they want to have a real conversation. I can’t speak for the LGBT community, but if I had to guess, Reza Farahan is not seen as a great example of the LGBT community’s representation on Bravo.
This sounds amazing! A ONE-MAN SHOW BUT MAKE IT FASHION! Watch as Christian Siriano sketches original, haute-couture designs before your very eyes and discusses the much anticipated upcoming new season of Bravo’s Project Runway. Moderated by Claire Summers of Fashion Bomb Daily. Sadly, it is only thirty minutes.
Project Runway In The House!
Oooooh this will be good! IT’S CALLED FASHION – LOOK IT UP! Project Runway’s Brandon Maxwell talks all things reunion fashion, hair and flair with Kyle Richards, Cynthia Bailey, Lisa Rinna & Tamra Judge.
Dear Lord, YOU BETTER WORK! These Bravolebs mean business. See what happens when Bravoleb entrepreneurs Kyle Cooke, Josh Flagg, Tracy Tutor, Reza Farahan, Shannon Beador and Cynthia Bailey sit down for a Q&A with social media influencer & certified Bravohlic, Mrs. Dow Jones.
T-E-A from A-T-L! Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore, Porsha Williams & Eva Marcille take the stage to talk about the upcoming season, complete with an exclusive sneak peek of an all-new episode… and a side of shade. Moderated by BuzzFeed’s Sylvia O’Bell.
GET UP & DANCE AT BRAVOCON NOW! Start your day with an invigorating aerobics class led by Real Housewife & cardio queen, Dorinda Medley.
SECRET INGREDIENTS-ES REVEALED. New Jersey Housewives Teresa Guidice and Dolores Catania talk about the upcoming season while making a flippin’ good Sunday sauce and meatballs. Moderated by Gibson Johns of AOL.
This might be the last day of BravoCon, but Vanderpump Rules’ DJ James Kennedy is here to keep the party going. Join him for a cocktail (or 3), and leave all your drama on the dance floor.

You can click here for the whole schedule. If you have purchased a ticket, we would all love to hear about the entire experience. You can email tamaratattles on the Gee Mail.
I cannot find the proper / strong enough word Or phrase I TRULY need to express my ‘oh FK no’. The last time I looked the full VIP pass was over 4500.00 becuz bravo took Zero Effort to really protect their fans.
I am pretty sure there are hundreds attending for whom that ticket left a gaping hole in their savings. Fk that. I am off to get a new lady dior, instead. Blood Red (fine. Xmas red) and I shall name her…. I don’t know. But it will be comical and witty and it won’t be a misspelled female name that can be mistaken for a sexual position or disease
ah. Thanks. I feel better, now
A new lady Dior is always a good idea <3
Right? My mouth may have been open, maybe slack jawed with a little dribble of spittle (OR NOT! I’m fine, I swear!) reading this comment. seriously trying to name your new bag in my head for you! Lol, you ruled out a whole bunch of options…You go Ti Che!
Fred.
Big Red Fred
I work with a Fred, he’s not all that, can we consider something else?
Queen Chritmas? Ruby, I’m yours? In the black, see how you blush?
Hmm that’s the problem with naming inanimate objects.. by the time you figure out the name just isn’t right, it’s too late; they’re used to it 🙂 🙂
Have a good night, All!!
$4500???? Man, I spent less than that on front row seats with a VIP package including backstage pass, open bar reception, free merchandise, and a meet and greet with MADONNA!!! To each his own I suppose. Must admit, a Dior bag seems like the best investment of all!!! Enjoy! 🙂
I looked. The best seats are now 2k/day
Six thousand dollars
> listen to Teresa babble in broken English..
>lady dior
> feeling obligated to applaud god awful Luann & her off pitch show…
>lady dior
>getting the last pick on LUNCH WITH A BRAVOLEBRITY and getting stuck at a table with Danielle Staub for an hour…
>lady dior
hm.
Lunch with Danielle Staub–LOL–can you imagine?!!!
I, too, am pissed at the way the ticket sales, or non-sales, was handled. I naively thought they were holding back a bunch to do as giveaways. But since they went on sale, I’ve seen ONE pair of VIP tix on WWHL given to an audience member the other night and a while ago, I heard ONE pair on RadioAndy as a call-in giveaway during his show. Perhaps there were other opportunities but they weren’t publicized too well. The only thing I can think of is the massive expense of having all of those narcissists together so Bravo had to sell as many tickets as they could.
I would kill to see the contract riders of the various “stars”.
God why would they dig up Caroline? I’d ask for a refund lol
Caroline Manzo is on my very short list of people I would pay a reasonable amount to see. She should have been the star of the show, and was until it turned into Felons By Bravo.
Did you hear her response to Teresa blaming her and calling her a rat? She was on her son’s podcast. Listening made me miss her more. I no longer watch and stick to your recaps.
No Hannah Hannah June ;). I’m shocked that none of the judges from Top Chef are participating.
Love ya, TT!
Jill Zarin? Why? NO Nene – happier time!
I am in the Great Northwest but if I was near, 2 people and only 2 people would get me there: Christian Siriano – I very very 💗 – and Brandon Maxwell – I newly 💗.
Maybe I will start a for fun basketball type pool on Who Will Be Biggest Dive! 😂
To all who go, I hope you enjoy and have safe travels. Peace.
I can’t wait to hear what kind of gossip you can give us from the weekend. I hope someone gets a picture of Teresa under the words Bravo Con.
It would be pretty easy to convince her, the irony would fly right over her head.
Hahaha, good one!
LOL. The whole Bravo Con thing cracks me up in general.
I’m slow today so I just got that. HILARIOUS 😂
I hope someone brings her sprinkle cookies.
Why is John Mayer in the group shot-with Tamara sticking her boobs in his arm no less.
I think the photo is from one of Andy’s baby showers. Hence the blue balloons.
It is. I’m sure Tamra was making her presence known to John…umm, I proully wouldn’t, but you never know. I will say that was a crazy good baby shower and everyone sincerely seemed to have a good time.
She was ALL OVER John at the shower in the pictures I saw, if I remember right.
So, I would rather die than attend even though Steve Gold, my heart throb will be there. Is this a fund raiser for a great cause? Where is the money going?
Been reading for a long time but been too shy to comment. Thanks TT for all the time and effort you put into this!
Saw Lisa Vanderpump will be there (on the BravoCon website)?! Wonder if she’ll avoid the BH ladies like the plague.
Surprised Sonja isn’t going…and only two of the ladies from Dallas and Potomac respectively are.
Thanks for being Brave! LVP is there with the Vanderpump Rules folks for their session. She won’t have to see the RHOBH. It’s possible she will, but it should be easy to avoid them. I thing the VPR thing is a night thing if I recall correctly.
Thank you for the reply & welcome Tamara!
I can only think about what it will be like with Reza and Mike, and Vicki and Kelly together under one roof. And Ramona and Gizelle. So much Bravo conflict.
What?! I’d only go to this if it were free and I was also given a free pass for a friend and some acid.
I can’t think of a worse time to take acid — Teresa Giudice, Ramona Singer, LuAnn trying to sing. WAIT! I CAN think of a worse time. If NeNe were there.
Sad no LVP. No Nene makes me think this might be good
No thank you, I will be happy with the reports of this fiasco.
The prices everyone is quoting are the aftermarket tickets. Honestly, I don’t think they expected a sell out. They also have event sponsors (Pepsi is one of the main ones I heard on the radio). The 3 day vip ticket on the website is $1500. I don’t think that is that bad. I did Cons (ok, Star Trek ones) back in the day (early 90s) and when I account for inflation, I don’t think the $300 for all three days general admission is a bad price AT ALL. I would have done the middle of the road $500 if I was with friends, because you get the priority pass line for the bar. If I could swing the $1500, I’d do it just for that food and drink lounge. LOL.
The BIG question for me is will Theresa and Caroline be in the same panel????? OMG! Not to mention MJ and Reza!
I think that is a piss poor LGBT panel considering the rich number of great LGBTQ talent on Bravo and the discussion leader they have lined up. Why is Pat on that panel?? Why not Josh Flagg? What about a shit ton of Project Runway alumni, including Christian Siriano and omg, the OG Tim Gunn? Or Kyle Dixon, former British soldier? (Does he identify as bi or pan? I can’t remember) Or even Andy Cohen, since he was responsible for bringing shows like Queer Eye onto the network. Can’t get more LGBTQ than those original guys!!!!
Tim Gunn is no longer associated with Bravo because he and Heidi jumped ship to a new show.
Josh Flagg is Beverly Hills royalty.
I love Josh Flagg.
Shocked that Sonja Morgan isn’t going to be there
Maybe she’ll be on Puffy’s yaught ;).
This should be interesting with Kelly Dodd and Vicki Gunvalson both there. I guess Vicki couldn’t take the heat of all the bad backlash with this lawsuit since she has now dropped it. Also,I do believe that she could not bear the thought of being banned from the reunion. I would bet she didn’t expect this turn of events being that she has so little self awareness of her own actions.. All that lawsuit did was open up and expose to the world how she has behaved and the false accusations she threw out there herself. .
In my opinion Vicki only drew more attention to herself and her business by filing a lawsuit.
I’m looking forward to reading the firsthand accounts! Reading Caroline and Jill’s names gave me a twinge of envy. I loved these shows in their heyday. Now I hardly know when they’re on. Oh, and I’d totally smoosh my boobs on John Mayer. But that would be it cuz he prolly has cooties lol.
They are charging how much???? How do you even justify this cost? People don’t actually pay that to attend this, do they? May sound stupid but I paid an additional $300 for my son to meet and greet Stan Lee, an f’in LEGEND at a Comic Con and you want me to pay what cuz a real con Tre-Ape is there? PASS
summer house? are they putting out another season of that or do they get featured just to pad the # of “bravolebrities” attending with nearby folks so they don’t have to put up as many people in hotels?
This kind of crap isn’t done in Europe so I find it mind boggling .. for the love of God I hope one of your commentators attends or a source ,so we get all the gossip!
Not for love or fucking money would I be arsed going to such an event, love to you & Banjo, x
Well after envisioning all those “Bravo-lebs under one roof it’s sure to be a drunken orgy. Can’t wait for the headlines during and after. Someone’s bound to end up drunk and arrested. If anyone is taking bets, my money is on Lu or Jax or all of NJ/ATL casts. But there are so many options LOL! God, Bethenny left just in time. I doubt she’d show up to this shitfyrefest anyway. How did nene get out of it with her overpaid check? I really don’t get any of it at all anymore. Sofa king stupid.
Nene is trying to get an acting role on some BET show. So she is trying to learn to read and speak.
ROTFLMAO 😂 Bless her cold dark heart.
I noticed Kim Zolciak Biermann is now in the lineup although seems to be getting ZERO mentions. Can’t imagine she would be an attendance driver and seems to only be a part of one event. I will be waiting to see any photos that come out as she cannot photoshop or FaceTune fan pics:)
it sounds like a whole bunch of nothing for the weekend with a bunch of barely D – reality stars
