Exclusive: Several Tiny Cups Of Bravo Tea

February 27, 2021 by tamaratattles 61 Comments

Bravo TeaThere are a lot of things that are in constant flux right now with Bravo. Things are changing all the time. It comes in dribs and drabs and usually with the note that things are subject to change. And some have already changed before I got around to posting things. So here are where things stand as of now.

Shahs of Sunset should have a trailer out very soon. I believe they just finished it up. I don’t have an exact release date. The only filming news I have heard about the season is that “MJ has turned into Nene” and no one is happy about it. Her story lines are “ridiculous” and involve lots of surgeries. The “higher ups” are very unhappy with her.

Southern Charm was once again miraculously renewed for another season. The Bravo suits seem to erroneously think that we liked this season of Southern Charm way better than past. REALLY? Apparently, we thought it was more “real” and not over produced. Master manipulator Aaron Rothman made just the right deal with the devil. AGAIN.

Random Bravo Tea

Winter House, a new spinoff, is in production with Summer House and Southern Charm cast. Just got everyone contracted and filming going.

RHOC casting is still up in the air. Shannon, Emily, Gina and Elizabeth are all back. Braunwyn is out. Kelly Leventhal is sweating like a whore in church. She’s spoken at length about how she is “misunderstood” by the Bravo viewing audience. They told her not worry about anything. But she should be worried according to Tamara Tattles exclusive source.

Tamra is most likely returning. Vicki will be offered a friend of Tamra role which no one believes she is going to accept. Heather Dubrow sort of depends how everything else shakes out. They are also considering a few brand new people. There are two decent RHOC from the casting pool. They are doing home visits and zooms with producers now.

I’m going to do a whole new post right after this on RHOP because there is a lot to unpack.

Pump Rules Recap

Non-Bravo Tea

E! News LVP is making $20K per episode plus an “executive producer” fee of $1,000 per episode. Nene’s “makeover show” or whatever it is with Brad will pay about the same to her. Since all of Nene’s people have quit, it’s going to irk her to still have to pay them all as the deal was struck before they all bailed.

With Kardashians gone at $175K per episode each and Ryan Seacrest gone as red carpet host, E! is ready for a “new breed” and will be trying out multiple new shows with all the extra money. They are looking to see what sticks.

Peacock most of you have heard about the “Real Housewives All-Stars” (working title) recently. But it has been discussed well before the pandemic. Tamra Judge was supposed to be on it. It is still in predevelopment and no cast has been agreed upon yet. But it won’t be on Bravo.

Peacock will be carrying old seasons of The Real Housewives of Miami, old seasons of foreign housewives franchises, and Million Dollar Listing San Francisco. None of my sources seem to think the Miami Housewives reboot will really get off the ground. It seems to currently be a clusterfuck of “maybes” and “down the road.” We shall see. That is the only thing I might stream. I hate streaming.

Off to work on the RHOP post. I have some scalding tea there. 🙂 Standby. I might not get it up until tomorrow.

        You actually took the words out of my mouth. I typed ‘she is her own worst enemy’ but then I thought, Nope. That’d be Reza, and deleted it, but yes, she does self sabotage and I hate to see it. That baby is so frickin cute and I usually don’t care for other people’s children. I could watch them for hours. I’d rather watch Tommy than Kroy any day.

              Woo Hoo! I didn’t realize (being newish) that somebody named Kelly did recaps of Summer House. I understood after reading these comments, and am thrilled that Summer House will be recapped. I thought it was my own silly, guilty pleasure, reliving my youthful days at various “summer houses” at the beach. Although ours were cheap, smelled kind of moldy, and we all slept in shifts so we could get as many people as possible in to share the cost, lol. The blue collar version of the Hamptons, for Baltimore kids at the shore, in the seventies (hah)….

              Yes! I love Summer House, so thanks TT & Kelly. Hoping Carl stays sober. Do not care for Hannah or Luke. Excited for Winter House. I keep seeing commercials for all of these great shows only for it to end with “now streaming”. Very frustrating. Would love to see the Real World Reunion – I watched the first few seasons, took a break for a few, and then watched the last few. Also love The Challenge.

      Me too! Love Summer house. The only Housewives I watch now are the ladies from Potomac but with Monique gone I don’t think I’ll be watching them anymore either. I’ve been watching the housewives since orange county debuted. And watched every housewife show that came onto the scene after that but Nene ruined it for me on Atlanta, the battling back-and-forth between sister-in-law’s on New Jersey, Lisa Rinna on Beverly Hills, Kelly on the OC and Leanne on Dallas. Will continue watching Summer House but can’t stand Hannah.

      Is Paramount free? I’m hoping that Real World will show up on my Paramount on Demand that I think I have. I am a RW fan who fell in love with reality TV during the very first season. I was so in love with Judd that I actually tried to call him when someone gave me his number. I was young and that was really crossing the line. I got an answering machine. LOL. I think it was something like Judd and Pam (I was so jealous of her) are not home right now… I did not leave a message.

      IIRC the Simpson trial was on around that time. But really it seems like that was later. I just have a memory of watching the slow speed chase about the same time as Judd’s season.

        Unfortunately, it is not free. CBS All Access will automatically turn into Paramount + on March 4th and I think the price will be the same. I pay 5.99 a month with commercials or you can pay 9.99 a month for no commercials. It is by far the streaming app I watch the most. However, the Peacock app (NBC) is free. It has some Bravo shows for free and lots of E! shows.

          Oh! I do pay for CBS All Access because of Big Brother Live Feeds. I used to quit and rejoin but then it was very helpful for pulling Survivor photos for recaps. I go there pretty much only during Big Brother. I will totally go there for the Real World Season One reunion series. Thanks for letting me know!

    I’m thrilled Braunwyn is gone! I do not want to see anymore of Tamra, and definitely not Vicki. Why does Bravo do this bullshit? It takes forever for them to realize that the majority of fans are over (or hate) certain cast members. They get rid of them, only to bring them back a season or so later. Vicki pissed off droves of people w/the cancer scam. Her schtick w/the love tank and the trees amigas got so old. Every time Tamra does an article, podcast, etc, people are bitching, and wanting her to shut up and go away.

    Here is my take on Tamra and Vicki: they were living with Simon and Don in the fire hills and got asked to be on this show. They had their jobs but were just another of the thousands of OC housewives, finding themselves getting older with dreams they had buried and were living a life they really didn’t like while waiting for something to happen. Didn’t have the balls to do it on their own. Got approached to do this show (and no, Vicki, you did invent or start the HW franchise, you were on the first season) and had no idea they would become “famous” in their own minds. Their ego’s exploded, they dumped their husbands, found new boy toys but never figured out that being crass, tawdry, dumb, loud and drinking too much would eventually make all of us viewers sick of them. Frankly, they forgot where they came from. I really don’t see Heather returning. She’s too good for this shit show now. Braunwyn needs a team of shrinks just to scratch the surface of her illness. I like MJ and Tommy but I have no idea what is going on with them. What is this makeover show with LVP anyway? I need to google this. I like these kinds of posts. All kinds of juicy tidbits….

      Sorry I should have fleshed that out. LVP is doing a show of “dinner parties” where she invites D list celebs to her house for dinner. It’s very… um… bawdy. To us a kind word.

      Nene is doing some sort of makeover show with Brad… I envision it to be a knockoff of What Not To Wear.

      It almost didn’t get the last season that was a clusterfuck. But after several attempts the suits for some reason thought we liked it. They were told it would be the last season if they didn’t bring it. As far as I am concerned they DID NOT bring it. But the suits are willing to roll the dice one more time. Le Sigh…

        I agree that they did not bring it. I have started watching IG stories (I always ignored them in the past) and Kathryn is in Miami with her boyfriend. I really really liked Kathryn before and now I just don’t. She was really just a kid when she came on SC, but I loved her red hair and attitude. She seems so made up now. I am happy for her because she seems to be very happy, but I sort of miss the old Kathryn. I could be alone in this.

        For some unknown reason, I still like Shep. I think it’s because my Mother found him charming before she passed away and now I hate to bail on him. Go figure. The reunion looks were so bad for Shep and Craig that it’s hard to see them as they once were. Especially Craig. I loved him and he’s just not as fun anymore. I am super happy for him on his sewing success, but I think he’s really no different than Shep.

        Anyway, I do hope they can find more fun people for Southern Charm. I would love to see more of Kathryn with her kids, fun vacations, and the beauty of Charleston. Fingers crossed!

      No, sorry. I haven’t heard. I do know Below Deck is currently casting for a cold weather season… so maybe she wants to do that? But I’m just guessing. It would seem awfully early for that to be a consideration on the show unless they are going to do something like Alaska… Again, I have no source on this at the moment. Mostly because I haven’t asked. I usually have to sort of ask a prodding question for things like this. I’ll look into it…

    Sad that either production or MJ herself chose to focus on the obnoxious- the last thing we need is more “NeNe-esque” behavior. Ughh- give us some baby Shams!!! Would have loved to see a calmed down MJ and Tommy, focusing on that adorable little angel!

    As much as I’ve liked Southern Charm in the past (admittedly, because I’m jonesing to see Charleston in person), if they continue in the direction of Leva’s screaming and finger pointing as a way of educating all the people about all the things, and if the ever-increasing focus on narcissistic, obnoxious Madison continues, I don’t think I could stomach it another season. And, as gross as they were, Kathryn and Thomas really were the main storyline for so long. Without Thomas, (aside from her racism issue), Kathryn seems uninteresting, weak, not very bright, and vapid. I know it’s not a popular view, but if they eliminated her at this point, I really wouldn’t miss her- I think there are far more interesting people on the show.
    If Leva could get off the high and mighty preachy pedestal, I’d love to see her as more of a real person in her real life- running her businesses, being a mother, her relationship with her husband, etc. That could be cool. And, bring Vernita (and her real life) in more, if she is actually connected to the group in any real way. She was great and had charisma. Would also like to delve more into Pringle’s life (if there’s anything of depth there, which is hard to tell at this point). I think there’s lots of potential with this new cast, if they’d bring the diversity in in a way that’s more authentic and natural- not shoving it down people’s throats….

    I am glad Brauwnyn is gone. I bet you she will end up straight again after all is said and done. She picked the hottest newsworthy headline and ran with it as a storyline. I’m surprised to didn’t “contract” COVID

    RHOC wasn’t THATbad this year to bring back Tamra. She puts it on for the camera..I think they managed with what they could do, they were the guinea pigs of filming first during COVID. I thought Emily was hysterical commenting on Shawns immunity idol. She is at least authentic like Gina and doesn’t put it on for the camera.

      There is not a lot of activity from the suits or production when it comes to getting this going. If they are going to do it and they want people to watch, it needs to be on Bravo.
