When Kyle Richards, Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore,LuAnn de Lesseps, Melissa Gorga, Ramona Singer, and Teresa Giudice headed down to Turks and Caicos to film what we call “Housewives All Stars” for Peacock, production was hoping for six episodes. Well, that didn’t happen.
Tamara Tattles EXCLUSIVE source tells us, that the trip was fine, it was just like another other regular episodes of a trip. They only got four episode out of the deal so that is a probably a big pay cut for the ladies. From what we saw on social media the ladies seemed to get along fairly well. Production hates when that happens. LOL. The only drama that really leaked was the usual arguments about who gets the best room. My money is on Kyle as she is the only one from her show. That would leave the other rooms for the twosomes. But, I love Kyle so I am biased.
The show will be called Real Housewives Mash-Up. Um okay. The four episode series will air in August. on Peacock. It is honestly just like a cast trip. Nothing eventful happens. NBCU stressed they wanted fan favorite CURRENT housewives only to participate. So that pool is slim. My source feels like with “better casting” it could go for several seasons. I thought the casting was pretty decent for the first season. But, Apparently they didn’t bring it. Still no word on the rumored eighth housewife. My source is not really connected to Peacock.
Who would you like to see cast on the next season? Bear in mind that NBCu wants current housewives. I can’t really see anyone from RHOD or RHOSLC being selected. Also it depends on when Mash-Up films because they can’t leave housewives filming for Mash-Up. I know the Potomac ladies are hoping for a shot. And RHOC too. I believe they were both filming at the time of the Turks and Caicos trip. So what is your dream team from the current cast?
My guess is they’ll probably try for a Season 2, try to gather more Housewives with more of a history of “bringing it”, and schedule filming so that they can get a Potomac Housewife or two next time. And while I agree with you that it’s unlikely they’ll tap any Dallas Housewives for Mash-up, I suspect they’ll look to Salt Lake City for Mash-up IF (and this is a big IF!) RHOSLC turns in better ratings and the other cast members show they can keep up with Jen Shah’s drama.
(I’m sure they’ll be tempted to offer a Mash-up slot to Jen Shah, but even they probably realize that offering another paycheck to a suspected scammer is anything but “good optics”.)
Not to mention the fact Jen Shah most likely can’t travel out the U.S. I’m sure her passport was confiscated. She may not be able to travel outside of Utah. Bravo also just needs to fire this woman.
So the 8th housewife would have to be someone from a current season?
Next time I’d like to see Sonja, Porsha, Shannon, Kandi and Lisa Rinna. I realllly would love to see Rinna and Shannon Beador on vacation together lol. I don’t watch RHOD or RHOP, so I don’t have any suggestions from those shows.
So, it sounds boring? Did Kenya get into with anyone?
From what bravo/NBC consider all stars is kind of sad. I did expect Kenya vs Ramona because of the room situation but other than I expect nothing else. If Sonia was there I think it would’ve gotten more drama, as we can see she isn’t the greatest house guest. Btw Why is Melissa there? Will I watch… maybe but I think they should restructure all stars into a competition show. Current wives vs fired wives or just 10 fired wives fighting for a spot back on their city’s next season. imagine having people like Brandi Glanville, Vicki, Camille or Jill fighting their way for a spot back on the show. The prizes would be If a fired wive comes in 1st wins she get a full time position in the next season, 2nd place gets friend of and 3rd gets a guest spot on the show. While if a current wife wins choose from these prizes, she can get a pay raise, gets a 5 episode spin off, hold the center Diamond (or whatever that city she from holds), get automatically pick up for the next season, has the ability to give a fired wife a shot for comeback in her perspective city or even fire/demote a wife . Obviously rule would have to come into play but that would be amazing! Now that’s what I would call all stars… obviously you can tell I’ve been watching a little too much drag race haha
this is brilliant! drama, comedy, tragedy, this has everything!
I really like the idea of past housewives fighting to join for a full season. That would make for great TV. I think the winner should get her choice of franchises to join too. That would make all the more interesting.
That’s why I think it would make good tv. Imagine how pissed someone like Lisa Rinna would be if Brandi won and had the opportunity to came back next season or Ramona would be if Jill won the show. Plus it would have an aftershock effect on the franchise. I would say one rule winners couldn’t transfer cites. Idk I would find it tacky to see someone transfer a city. That’s very VH1, it drives up the wall when housewives or fans (wives) want to transfer cites.
How did they miss Sonja? Have you all seen Josh Flagg’s insta stories this weekend? She is reality GOLD!
YEP! https://tamaratattles.com/2021/05/08/open-forum-sonja-is-a-horrible-houseguest/ She would be one of my top picks for season 2.
YES!!! Was so bummed no Sonja. Josh Flagg & Sonja could have there own show. Porsha would’ve been a way better fit than Cynthia. They should’ve brought on Rinna with Kyle. Personally, I think it would’ve been better if they had done some HW’s that are no longer on the shows. I don’t think I’ll watch but I’ll read Tamara’s recaps
To me it’s an easy fix. Don’t tell any of the women who else is going on the trip. Don’t have 2 cast members from just a couple franchises, like Noah’s Bravo Ark. And bring in a couple PAST favorite housewives and/or “friends of”, they’ll be more desperate and will heighten the drama, intentionally or not.
That being said, I’m okay with less drama, as long as it’s funny. So if they all get along, that’s fine, but then give me a mash-up like: Sonja, Porsha, Karen, Dolores, Marlo, Heather, and Brandi Glanville.
There’d be some drama, but some pretty hilarious vacation footage.
Marlo is not an option. She’s not a housewife. Even though she makes more than some of the actual housewives. 🙂 She’s good with what she has. She’s in every episode doesn’t have to do all the photo shoots and stuff. She just shows up, films and takes home a really big check.
Any chance you could give us an idea of exactly how much she makes? If memory serves me correct, NeNe was the highest paid at something like $110k+ per episode by season 12, and newbies sometimes barely get above 4 figures…so where does Marlo fall in the mix?
I just found out from my source today that it is not as high as I thought. Bravo is not giving people the big bucks anymore. Eva got paid very little on her first season. Marlo apparently makes less than 20K and episode. which is great for a friend and more than Drew makes and way more than Fallon.
You’re just the best! I’ve been wondering that for so long. No way she affords that lifestyle on those Bravo checks.
Firstly, they made a mistake, they should have been camping. A resort is not going to bring out anything interesting. Sooo, I would love a “villan” series, or feuding houswives. Brandi and Lisa, Rinna and Kim Richards, Teresa and Danielle, Caroline and Dina, Kandi and Phaedra, Nene and KIm, Jill and Bethenny, I could go on forever. Camping, or something less than luxurious, like a 3 br 2 bath tract house in Long Island.
I thought Mauricio was the 8th person to show up? It was announced that The Agency owns the house they filmed at so he showed up on the last day. I’m sure that’s why Kyle was the only BH housewife.
They said they only had 7 bedrooms, so Mauricio would make 8 and he could sleep with Kyle. So the housewife fans that watch this are supposed to be shocked and surprised “Mauricio” shows up? We all get to watch Kyle kiss him, while she never looks at him, she looks at who’s watching him kiss her. She’s like the freshman girl in high school, that is dating the junior high school boy. I roll my eyes everytime she does it.
Well, that would be really disappointing. I want a controversial past RHW to show up (like Jill Zarin, or better yet, Bethany) to really stir shit up. THis just sounds like a snooze fest.
Terrible casting choices. I knew it would be dry as soon as I saw who was involved.
Who at peacock thought “Mash-up” was better than all stars. I think the stipulation of current only gets rid of the some best options. I guess we will see what do with it, I could go either way.
You mentioned RHOC & RHOP were both filming. I thought they were still on hiatus, any news on who is in and out?
I know Potomac is filming. My question is about Orange County just to be clear.
What I posted was kind of misleading. RHOC was supposed to be filming which is why they were not considered. Also, they are on “indefinite hiatus” currently while they try to figure out how to cast the next season. RHOC is currently a clusterfuck like Dallas.
I also was confused as to why Melissa was included in the “mash up.” I just always felt like she tries too hard to be something she’s not. But for season II: Sonja, Leah, Porsha, Jennifer Ayden, The southern accent lady from BH (I feel she and Jen would maybe not rub well…..)
I think Whitney or Heather would be a fun addition from RHOSLC, they love to have fun and don’t care about judgement
they need to do a Big Brother type of housewives show with all the non present cast members, give the last housewife standing a prize and watch those women lose their minds to win
