Bravo has officially greenlit the revamped RHOA reunion with the ladies appearing via satellite. Here’s some details about how it will go down. PLEASE LINK TO MY SITE WHEN DISCUSSING THIS EXCLUSIVE! I have enough shit to deal with without sending my attorneys after you. But I will.
The reunion is set to tape this Thursday, April 23. Each cast member has been assigned their own producer, who has been calling them today to discuss their segments, prep, wardrobe, backdrop, etc. Everyone will have a crew come to their house to light, set up camera equipment and tech support so the reunion can hopefully be technically glitch free. The earpieces and tech equipment will allow the all to hear each other, theoretically. Production is still trying to work out not having a typical three second satellite delay. They are hoping for “at least” two parts.
It’s Going To Be a Virtual Clusterfuck
The plan is for on more one on one style arguments. Andy Cohen asked for Nene vs Kenya split screen like Rosie and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View. That was literally his comparison. This year, due to the nature of the reunion, housewives will be muted if they attempt to speak over one another to the point that one cannot be heard. In the process of figuring this all out, they have been practicing with stand-ins all week to figure out how to mute a specific feed. More practices with stand ins will continue this week. With one stand in told to scream as loud as they can while the other attempts to talk over her with the mute feature, split screen and three and four screens. This sounds like an utter shit show that will need a ton of editing.
Andy will ask more provocative questions this reunion in order to have a heavier and more explosive tone. One segment, specifically, about Kenya, includes an interrogation-like line of questioning. Eva is going to get the shit edit in advance as well. Andy is being told to interrupt them if they filibuster, and ask pre-written follow ups, which are even more antagonistic to those two. Andy is participating in the practice sessions with the stand-ins for the first time because he wants this to be the most epic reunion ever, and all agree that this should be the bow on the Nene vs. Kenya saga.
RHOA season 13 taping is tentatively scheduled to commence in July per network talk. Eva Marcille is expected to be non-renewed. The Eva being fired thing has been told to me before as in last season. Cynthia Bailey was not mentioned at all.
Please share links on your social media. Due to my anxiety, laptop issues, etc, I could really use your help. Thanks.
I posted this on Twitter and it’s getting a lot of engagement, hope it helps 🙂
Thanks J. That is extremely helpful. I appreciate any links to the site posted on social media. Especially now. I have a RHOA reunion exclusive as well that I plan to post tomorrow night.
Damn. Eva’s on the chopping block again?
Well, at least there will be a reunion and the cast and crew will get paid. Other than that, I’m dreading whatever fuckery Andy and the producers are planning here.
Andy has minimal control about anything…except the reunion and he has a HUGE hate on for Kenya… so.
I’m still perplexed what Andy Cohen’s hate for Kenya Moore is or where it stems from. I think he truly wishes he could die and be reborn as The Kenya Moore, I mean make it make sense TT. I just don’t understand. He has more ammo and material with NeNe, the appeasing of the ghetto and ratchet fans is purely disgusting. I’m also getting really tired of Bravo and Andy Cohen abusing Kenya Moore, her life and story but my girl said on Claudia’s show, “if my own mother could not break me then no one else will ever have the ability”. That’s when I knew Kenya truly is a force to be reckoned with.
I would love to know why NeNe and Gregg scamming the good people of Georgia with real estate fraud was never explored on RHOA.
Love you TT. Sorry I haven’t been as present, COVID-19 had me out of the loop for a while. Hope you and Banjo are swell.
I can’t imagine how this will work as Nene never shuts her mouth and yells over everyone.
Yeah, it is not that. It’s her hubris in trying to produce her own segments.
Kenya throws homophobic shade (Kim Fields husband, Michael Rappaport on WWHL – the least gay guy on earth). That’s where it comes from.
Darling if that is the reason then he should have disdain for all of them except for Cynthia, Eva and Kandi. They are mostly all guilty of being insensitive to the LGBTQ community whilst being lifelong friends with members of the community as well as employ majority LGBTQ glam teams.
Love to see you are back IN the loop.
I’m sad that Eva will not be renewed. I don’t care that her storyline was weak, I love her. She’s the lighthearted one in the group, with a great family. I’m very much over Nene and even Kenya. But I am looking forward to the shit show reunion. Thanks for the tea, TT!
Me too! I really like Eva for some reason.
Love kenya Moore love Eva hate Nene she’s so fake
Hate Kenya with all her lies and hurt a lot of people she should be fired keep Eva and nene
I love Eva too. I heard she might be gone last season and was glad to see her. HOWEVER, Eva has HUGE deal in Dallas radio and she will be just fine. Not that it helps us any.
Me too! Love Eva and her adorable family! I’m glad she’s got a great offer. Good for her, but bad for us!
Well when I predicted this previously she said she was going to literally phone it in from ATL and she probably will if she can. But now….And her husband is licensed to practice in Texas. So I feel like they will eventually live there. Or not. We shall see. I love love love Eva.
And the five year radio contract she got, would make Nene gag. She is winning.
I enjoy Eva tremendously as well and would love to see her back. But just to irk Nene off, yes I’d be happy for her to move on. I’m sorry Kenya was so messy this season. I seriously don’t believe she needed to be. She was going through enough. But I cannot stand Nene. She’s so despicable. Who she thought she was fooling with that bedroom scene is anyone’s guess. It sure wasn’t us. But hey, if Greg got some ( yeah sure), well there’s that. I wish much success for Eva.
I was really hoping to see Eva next season since she doesn’t plan on being pregnant & could participate in everything.
If mute button to be used for talking over, we will never hear NENE, because that is her Go to! Scream over everyone with dumb ass comments! Looking forward to a Nene muted reunion!
Kenya doesn’t scream, but she either has verbal diarrhea or talks over others.
Yes. She needs to stop that. She knows better. She’s an intelligent woman.
Well, now, see? That’s a lovely thought, Carol! ?
It’s not as if she’ll suddenly be literate. She’ll simply repeat all the nasty things she said in Greece and at the baby shower. She’s not an original thinker.
It saddened me to see Kenya get into it at the shower. She could have shaken her head, lowered her voice, said “Oh Nene. Not here.” Repeat. She knows better. I think this is for reunion ammo from production.
Andy lives for Nene’s vileness.
I’m likely to just read the recaps of the reunion.The few episodes I have watched, well, I can tolerate only so much Nene.
I feel you’re a brave woman to “take one for the team” and watch and recap. I rarely watch, but I enjoy reading your recaps! Thank goodness for those!
If only we could mute Andy. Why are people with nothing worth saying always the first ones to talk? Oh, to be a mediocre white man…
Happy to see Eva go. She did nothing for the show.
I didn’t even WATCH this season, but I might have to check out the reunion!
Know it is not part of the drama/story lines because it shows true talent, but it is a shame that Masked Singer final will not be air until May 27, possibly taking away a chance to give well deserved kudos to Kandi for amazing performances and likely win.
I never understood if EVA would move to Dallas they wouldn’t offer her RHOD
Has anyone actually went from a wife in one franchise to another, Eva mentioned that she was asked to do another RHO franchise and I’m feeling like it was RHOBH…
Eva has a very high paying radio job in Dallas. So if she were to go to another franchise, that would be it. Her husband is licensed in Texas. But I think she will probably not be offered that. I posted an exclusive about this a while back and then she bought a house in the ATL. So she has been planning on doing the radio show remotely.
This is like my old work WebEx meetings. Everyone talked over each other so they muted us all and made us raise our hand to speak hahaha. I can’t wait for this mess! At least we know there won’t be any violence this year unless Nene throws her computer screen
She probably will spit at the computer.
I’ll watch it. I’m glad they are trying to have a reunion. I bet it will be interesting because of all the pent up Covid emotions. They might be really nice to each other. Maybe Kenya and NeNe will bond. I know I get all uncharacteristically slap happy when I see my coworkers in zoom.
If they are going to miye out the screaming it might be one silent reunion
Mute. Not wearing my glasses
JULY????? I won’t remember a damn thing by then! And if they mute them repeating themselves 8 or 9 times while talking over each other it will be plain old silence.
Editing can be done remotely people, it’s a Housewives reunion not a Scorcese film.
If they can’t get this shit on the air in the next thirty days I’m out.
July for filming season 13, not the reunion.
Thank you for clearing that up! I blame the lack of alcohol for my misunderstanding.
But GOOD NEWS! As expected Pennsylvania fucked up the limited ordering from select liquor stores. They forgot stores only have one phone line ?. They also failed to tell people they couldn’t pick up their order for a day or two. But what I found out are the new private label distillery’s are still open and allowed to sell bottles! Five Spirits Distillery I ❤️ You! And they are five minutes away woohoo! No tequila but a nice vodka and a white whiskey I’m curious about. They also have an absinthe with raspberry and lavender I may try another time but it’s 140 proof so probably not the best one to start with?
Y’all probably won’t see this but I just wanted to express my absolute joy in a non-judgy place. ?
I went radio silent because my stupid dumbass Governor wants to open the city to tattoo parlors, nail salons and hair salons AND MASSAGE PARLORS on Friday. I’m never leaving my house again. Like ever.
While in line at the distillery we were joking about gyms opening in the first wave… really? Sweaty, gross gyms? These state gov’s and their priorities for reopening should all be investigated because they just don’t meet the common sense rule. But someone’s wallet is probably pretty happy! Both sides are equally greedy and not putting the country first. Now, back to my cocktail! ❤️
Oh, and don’t ever start watching the Australian version of Survivor… so addictive and several 26 ep seasons!
Oh I don’t watch any of these Housewives shows anymore, but this sounds like one effed up clusterfuckery of ginormous and epic proportions that should not be missed! Just a hootin’ ‘n’ hollerin’ all over the damned place! J’adore the muting feature and I’m seriously hoping that this whole reunion is like one of @JustJenn’s old work WebEx meetings where everyone has to raise their hands and wait to be allowed to speak!
LOLZ
So … the reason for the remote filming is to limit exposure to THE CORONA. My math skills are not what they used to be, but still … EACH housewife will have a separate crew. Likely, they will demand hair and makeup crews. Instead of ONE studio, we have multiple people going out to multiple sites. Does THAT sound like containment? The only thing that will be contained is if that vile NeNe were to let loose with her loogie hawk her saliva drops wouldn’t land on another housewife. Aha! That must be it. Andy worries some of it might land on him in the crossfire! Because HE KNOWS NeNe is coming loaded for ba’ar. Ghetto style.
Re Andy’s apparent Kenya dislike:
Well Andy probably still remembers Kenya’s disgusting comment to Apollo needing an “aids test” during reunion. Such class, she spearheaded the homophobic story line about Kim Field’s husband too. Homophobia is rife in all the franchises and memories are long.
Andy feeds into too, and Kenya is not exempt. It’s 2020 and being gay should not be a comedy punchline anymore. It’s still the go to insult joke in all the RH shows.
Im confused as why Cynthia is not on the chopping block she only had one mildly interesting season and if she doesn’t go in on Kenya instead of Nene she never will.
Cynthia is ALWAYS on the chopping block. But they need one calm person.
I used to like Eva, but I didn’t see that she added much. Editing? This season she has been very funny. Not Porsha dumb funny, more along Kenya’s level of intelligence — without the vitriol and with good facial expressions. I would love to see her stay and NeNe go.
Kenya has not added what I wished she had. YES, no one is better at putting NeNe in her place. But by doing so, she gives NeNe the only storyline she has — except the white T-shirt to everything boring storyline. NeNe should buy stock in Hanes. Then, she would lose her ass because she makes CLASSIC COOL white Tees and V-necks look SO BAD.
Not sure why but I’m finding I can’t watch the remote views on any show. This will be difficult.
Bravo changed things up a couple of weeks ago. First, I couldn’t watch on my older desktop, then on my iPad. See if the layout has changed since you last watched; that was my clue that it was Bravo, not my computers.
There is an option to join NBCuni to watch. I didn’t want to load anything else onto my overloaded iPad.
