This reality show that is in preproduction is currently sending out pick-up letters and interviewing a potential new participant. Most of the cast is returning. One of the cast members was sent a conditional pick-up letter. The condition was that she needs to have a great story trajectory for the upcoming season. Otherwise, she will not be guaranteed to be on all of the episodes.
She got back to production with the news she and her husband are contemplating divorce. According to her reps, the couple has been fighting nonstop sense March. It sounds like they are saying their marriage is imploding because of the pandemic. Production is skeptical. They wonder if this is a ploy simply for contract negotiations.
In my opinion it is a total fabrication. I follow the couple on social media and they have not been locked up together during quarantine. They have been out doing things and getting out in nature. They seem to have been getting along very well. I understand that social media is where couples project their “perfect lives.” But the love doesn’t seem fake to me at all. And I don’t want to see them have to do a season of “irreconcilable differences” that is fake. That might backfire into a genuine problem in their marriage. And why does the talent have to dream up their story trajectory? Why can’t we just follow their lives and see what happens? She has adversaries on the show to fight with. And a whole family That really needs their own show.
BONUS BLIND!
This couple has been contemplating divorce (and may have even begun the paperwork months ago). But he filmed with her this season and gave her a lot of mixed messages. In some scenes he belittles her and in others, he calls her his queen. So what is going on there? Production wants to know in order to produce her storyline so that it will reflect how the couples stands at the reunion. Again. I don’t see why they can’t just announce any change in circumstance at the reunion. Isn’t that what reunions are for? But what do I know?
Can you guys the two couples?
It’s funny, there are so few married women on the shows now and I still can’t figure out which couples this is about.
Is it Kyle and Kenya?
It can’t be Bravo. TT said Bravo will never commit to having someone in every episode.
This is true they don’t guarantee them to be in all the seasons. But generally the key players are. However, they also warn people that they need to do xy and z to be I guest I should have said ABLE TO BE in all the episodes. They are being offered an upcoming contract and are already being told, that in order to be in all the episodes, they are going to have a strong storyline and they do not think that person has one.
Shoot. Then the list of suspects just increased 10-fold.
Erika Jayne Gerardi!
Romance is dead, sigh…
Melissa and Joe for the first blind item. Emily and Shane for the bonus blind item.
Maybe Lisa Rinna and Kenya?
First time commenting, long time reader & lurker, as in years. Love you TT & hope you are well.
Not sure if they are getting letters or not in BH. Wasn’t thinking it was Kyle first, but then I realized her & Mo have been “out in nature.” So now I’m sad that it’s probably her, I really hope this isn’t true about Kyle!
The other side of the country sounds an awful lot like Kenya & her situation.
Production should shut the hell up & let these people decide at what speed they want end their marriage or not. Although, if it is Kenya maybe she needs a push to leave what feels to me like an abusive relationship?
My previous comment was meant to be it’s own comment, not a reply. So sorry!
I can get the Kenya angle – but Rinna is always stirring the pot and setting people up. Makes me think it is not her…
Sorry…off topic…but Wendy Williams has been “not herself” this week. I fear she may be off the air soon. Sad.
I tried to watch Thursday and she was so random and out of it I had to change the channel.
She needs to get her shit together. A lot of people’s livelihoods depend on that show.
I stopped a few weeks back. She seemed so disoriented and genuinely out if it, I just couldn’t watch anymore. So it’s still going in that direction huh, too bad!
Joe calls Melissa his “queen” so perhaps her. They often engage in fake storylines to stay on the show—a pizza place, wanting a baby, etc. On the opposite coast Braunwyn. She keeps on saying “we are redefining our marriage.” Maybe she is saying that because she can see the potential for divorce but also staying together. She is putting out mixed messages. She just seems very confused….
Not thinking its Brawnwyn only because shes so raw in her recovery, so much that shes bottled up is coming to the surface. But I do wish she’d stop trying to fit it in with the Bravo brand. If I hear one more time that’s shes out and about with awful Sandy or the Patomic girls, I’ll just FF het bits. But I’m thinking you have something with Joe and Melissa!! They are so dull with non-stories this would be that shakeup her bravo persona would need.
Iwent to the pizza place/restaurant. they just took it over from owners and ran it into the ground. It was in an NJ strip mall. No Bueno. Also been to Envy : Not much to be envious about
this post was totally on point
I hate to hear how much production interferes in the “reality” of “reality” TV shows. I’ve slowly stopped watching less and less reality TV. That and the downright mean girl themes are too much. I have a small group of girlfriends. We never behave with each other the way these women do on some of these shows. If one of us has a problem with another, we deal with it one on one.
That said, I don’t think Rinna ever has photos on Instagram if her and Harry Hamlin. And I can’t think of whose family should all have their own show.
Could the “whole family” be Bill and Jennifer from New Jersey?
I would die if I lost my cosmetic sergon, oh I mean husband, or couse?
I haven’t seen a photo of Harry Hamlin with Rinna in eons! Last time I saw them actually in the same room was @ Bravo con. Rinna is conning us with the happily married / best friends forever act. After what she did to Denise Richards karma is waiting in the wings to snatch her wig but good. Girl you in danger !
Hi everyone, I am thinking Nene and maybe someone from New Jersey. There arent that many married folk anymore.
I think Nene has burned all the bridges on her road to Bravoville. They don’t want her back.
I agree 100%. I really think she wanted Kenya gone, and they told her no.
On RHOC, Shane belittles Emily, but also calls her his queen.
The other marriage imploding…Monique & Chris??? They were showing signs of stress. She has adversaries & could do her own show w/the kids, the bird, the houses.
I read somewhere that Jackie from RHONJ her husband cheated on her. Could it be them separating?I also read Branwyn is moving out because she has discovered, “something about herself”and she has to figure it out. She’s not separating from her husband. I figure she’s got a female friend. I believe she stated she needed space because she was confused but she loves her husband! That poor girl. My heart goes out to her! She’s going through a lot right now!? I can’t even imagine. Sorry if I went off of the subject. I’m not doing well. My Mom’s in the hospital and I can’t see her because she lives in Puerto Rico. She’s 87yrs young but her ♥️ is weak. I have 2 sisters that watch over her and for that I am grateful. I have the best sisters in the world! Enough about me. So that’s all I have for now! Peace?
God bless your mom and you during this time.
Thank you for your blessings!
God Bless you and your family as well! ??
My mom died many years ago and I can’t even imagine how hard it would be to not be with her. God bless you both
Thank you for your kind words. I’m so sorry for your loss. My Dad passed away 3yrs ago. Mom and Pop were married for over 63yrs! A lifetime & I talk about him everyday! He lives within me with a sense of humor! Everyone loved ❤ him. Well I better go. God be with you ? my friend your Mom is always with you!
God be with you. I lost both mine within a year of each other. It was absolutely fucking horrible. Stay strong and God bless!
Wow – I was never very good at these, but they are harder when you stop watching the housewives, LOL. For some reason, I thought of Jennifer from New Jersey, but the reference to nature means she’d have to be the second one. I’m trying to think about the families that are interesting. Kyle’s family could have their own show, but I can’t imagine she’s on the chopping block, and I always hope for the best with her marriage. Emily’s marriage always seems in trouble.
I’m 100% with you, TT, I don’t think production should get involved. That’s what has ruined these shows.
my guess for the first is i have no idea.. u was gonna guess brittany and jax until i read TT’s line saying their love seems real. my guess for the 2nd is braunwyn RHOC.. i’m surprised if i’m wrong on the latter. is it latter or ladder?? i’ve had a bottle of wine. ??♀️
Kyle for the first one and Teresa for the second. Production is too involved in these shows now.
Kyle on RHOBH
Mellisa on RHONJ
I like them both so hope I am wrong
Does Joe Gorga think that he can be next New Jersey Housewife with Melissa gone? I don’t care for this couple.
Baunwyn and Rinna are divorcing imo. Karen on Potomac is doing a fake marriage troubles divorced storyline but I don’t think these fall in your other clues. Braunwyn seems to have a lot a lot of id and I have a hard time believing anything she’s saying before she seems to have a lot of drama going on and likes the attention.
I was thinking of the Grande Dame for the second one – maybe PK & Dorit for the first. Kyle definitely does not NEED the show. I think PK & Dorit seem genuinely in love though – but they have had money troubles. Rinna doesn’t NEED the show either. She & Harry don’t seem to live a crazy lifestyle above their means – and I’m sure their residuals provide them a very nice income.
Many of the women – and men – have legitimate careers they could fall back on if they left the show. I’m kind of thinking the ones that do not! I’d say Robin & Juan for sure – but they are not married yet!
I was reading that a whole different way. A big family that needs the show?? Hum. Not a clue.
Oh I have no clue Really TT please can you give us more hints! I hope it’s not Kyle but i do think the second could be Melissa from NJ?
I can only think of one housewife who you would follow and also think need their own family show. Kyle. And I hope they won’t risk their marriage and family for a TV show. My other thought was Dorit but I don’t think anyone would watch a separate show about her and PK. The other couple I thought might be NeNe because you said “Again” but I think you were referencing again with production dictating story lines. So it’s Karen, IMO. I’ve felt like Ray has given ME mixed messages! It’s disgusting for production to push anything on anyone. I usually don’t guess but Kyle and Karen and I actually hope I’m wrong. Be safe everyone!!
Definitely Kyle on the West Coast. Here back East, I’m thinking Melissa. She hasn’t had a storyline in years, though I’m not sure that marriage is in trouble. Maybe Monique or Karen in Potomac? We know it’s not any of the New York ladies because none of them are married.
the only family I can think of that could carry its own snow is the Giudices.
Isn’t Teresa selling the house? That could be a new show for them?
Brawnwyn is my guess. Production is pushing her on her marriage/divorce issue before the reunion, which means they are airing the show now. May be why she’s doing so much press now about her new “revelations.”
Eat coast guess is Jackie. Heard rumblings there were cheating rumors in her marriage which wouldn’t shock me. She seems like a hand full plus she admitted she doesnt do oral with her hubby. Men chest for less reasons then that.
What a shame. I know I’m old fashion and some would say naive but didn’t marriage used to be sacred? I mean, I used to love these shows. It was fun to watch happy loving families. Who turns on their TVs to watch people complain about spouses and watch children be devastated by divorce? I know divorce is a reality for all of us but please don’t ruin families for our entertainment.
Mercedeh & Kenya
First one I’m unsure! Since its preproduction, so most likely RHOBH.
Second one is easy (at least to me) RHOA, LaToya.
I can’t think of any of them that need their own show. I’m not even sure Kim and Kandy needed them.
Maybe the Guidices? They are definitely reality TV gold.
I think it’s Erika Jane from RHBH she needs a storyline and there have been rumors of divorce for many many many moons
Also latoya or one of the jersey girls are wrapping up production. But I’m thinking it’s probably latoya.
Off topic but I’m very much looking forward to getting to know new families on RHOA. And I’m happy there’s no more if nene stuck up attitude
Oops I’m sorry I didn’t mean for that to be a reply to your comment! But hi:)
Okay here is a hint. ONLY ONE PERSON has the first one right. And only one person has the second one right. And it is not the same person.
MJ of Shahs
No idea on the second 🙂
I think it’s MJ too – she made a few comments on IG that her husband was ready to divorce her
1. MJ
2. LaToya
You are killing me !!! I am awful at these yet I love them so much cause it creates a dialogue where we can all play Nancy Drew ! Sending you a meme its HILARIOUS
So I got it right on the first couple with Bill and Jennifer from RHNJ!
Lol! Did I?
Erika Jane?
Give us another hint!
I’m going with MJ from Shahs or Rinna on the first one and the second Melissa RHONJ
1. Monique
2. Brawnwyn
Dorit.
Kenya.
Blind item 1 sounds like Kandi and Todd.
Blind item 2 sounds like Princess and Ray J.
I never guess these…. But I did hear through the newport beach gossip mill here where I’ve been since February that Brawnyn likes women now, so maybe she’s one. MJ for the other? Don’t keep us hanging too long……
I thought Teresa and Joe were already divorced.
I was thinking the second one could be Kenya or LaToya from RHOA. I just can’t see Marc agreeing to film anything, unless it was virtually. Maybe he came on Cynthia’s wedding day and stayed with Brooklyn.
So what is the answer?
So what is the answer?
Erika is the answer to one but not so sure of the other.
Its finally out that Erika and Tom are getting divorced, now to figure out the 2nd blinding the east coast.
I missed this post, and only found it b/c someone else came to comment that Erika and Tom filed for divorce.
So I’m thinking Jackie or Jennifer. Both of them have independent storylines within their own family dynamics that don’t involve the other HWs on the show. Jennifer drives me insane, but the dynamics between her mom, gay brother, and her kids are interesting. That oldest daughter checking her on her mean comments was fantastic
I agree! I’m thinking you are right that it could be Jennifer
I think it’s Erika, announcing today, and Melissa/Joe
Erika is not the answer to this blind. I knew nothing about her divorce.
MJ for West Coast and Karen for East Coast
I think it is Kenya on the second part.
New trailer for NJ shows trouble in the Gorga’s marriage. Just not sure if they’re 1 or 2. Seems manufactured for sure so I’m leaning to 1.
