Well you guys it seems that the Bravo suits have managed to get a cast together for RHOA season 14. Have we really watched 13 seasons of this stuff? What are we doing with out lives?
Principal photography has finally commenced!!! Yay!! What a marathon of casting and pre-production. The producers are in from LA and NYC ready to film. The ladies have all agreed to their contracts and storylines. It’s time to get rolling!
RHOA Season 14 Filming Has Begun!
At this moment (subject to change) Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, Marlo Hampton, Sheree Whitfield, Drew Sidora and Sanya Richards-Ross (ordered from highest to lowest paid) are the full-time housewives. Shamea Morton is a friend of the show. Nene Leakes will appear in at least two episodes allegedly to wrap up the Gregg Leakes story. Production has a lot of flexibility for season 14. With Porsha and Cynthia gone, a lot of the talent budget has been freed up. Marlo got a nice increase to reflect her contribution to the show and finally has a peach. Sheree Whitfield got a decent contract but nothing close to what Porsha Williams and Cynthia Bailey were making.
Everyone except for Marlo Hampton will appear with a significant other. Marc Daly will most likely appear this season in some capacity. Spousal participation is a heavy focus/requirement for season 14. Kenya is supposed to shuttle in later in the week to film with Kandi, Marlo and Sheree. Drew will film with her family on Tuesday and Sanya will do the same on Wednesday. A new friend or two may join the mix, but the friend roles will be determined after filming begins.
Expect 18 regular episodes of RHOA season 14 to premiere around February/March 2022.
Do you have any intel on Porsha still doing Chatroom? Also, I read somewhere that Kenya will be going home this week on DWTS so she can film for Bravo. Like its already rigged?
Kenya has been getting (unfairly in my opinion) scores from the judges that are affecting the viewer votes. She was in the bottom two last week (again, I don’t think she deserved it) and had to be saved by the judges. So it would not exactly be out of the blue for her to be voted out this week.
Porsha has said she just wants to do Chatroom and her spinoff from here on out. She and the baby are flying all over the world on private jets at the moment. She can do Chatroom from anywhere.
The voting is causing Kenya to be at the bottom not the judges
It’s going to be so boring without Porsha🤷🏽♀️
Porsha’s spinoff will be out soon. Its supposed to be good.
The public considers the judges scores when voting.
Can we just keep the NeNe door closed. Geesh..I don’t want to see no parts of her.
Agreed
Yep shut that door and call it a day🤨
Awwwww, II have to disagree. I’m here for Nene and feel if we can tolerate Kenya, we can tolerate Nene. Its only two episodes and as someone who has been a fan since the beginning, I would love to see some closure with Gregg’s passing. It’s only two episodes so hopefully that doesn’t annoy you too much lol…
NeNe makes this show, that’s why she got a part in this season.. she is Genuine and no FAKE!!
The has never been a faker person in all of the galaxies.
It’s the “all of the galaxies” for me. I just had a visual of Star Trek gliding through space!!! LOLOL
Ditto.
Just as I suspected, we won’t be getting any new RHOA episodes for at least four more months. I can only wonder if this factored into the Comcast suits’ surprise decision to push back the RHONJ premiere a few more weeks.
I guess I’ll be watching next season, but I can only hope the producers get their act together. It’s still so weird how they kept fucking up RHOA production for three months. This has been the highest rated Bravo show for how long, and the network may end up going nearly a year without RHOA on the air?
I may be alone here, but Marlo barely works well in a friend capacity. Not remotely interested in her having a peach. Everything she does is forced and she folds like a cheap suit under the pressure of a back and forth. Always found her contribution to be highly overrated. Cute clothes tho. Drew is a yawn fest. We’ve seen everything there is possible to see from Kandi. And I’m sick of hearing about Kenya’s fake relationship with her sperm donor. It’s like the 4th season with the same storyline for her. ZzzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzz.
Expect lots of manufactured drama. They all are very aware that this is a make or break season for them. And the way it’s shaping up they should be afraid. Feels like this franchise is well past its expiration date.
You said it all and you are so right. Now they need to bring back Nene and Ms. parks then we’ll have some drama🤣🤣🤣
I will definitely give it a try. I had taken it off the season pass list a few years ago because I was tired of it, the arguing, the yelling & fighting. I’m not happy to hear that Nene will make appearances. Come to think of it that’s when I took it off the season pass, I cannot stomach that woman. If she were half as wonderful as she thinks she is I’m sure we would all love to watch her. I’m sorry to hear about Greg I think he was the best and nicest half of that marriage.
Sheree is always entertaining so I’m glad to hear that she is back. I like seeing Candy because it’s always fun to see the kids.
I’ll be curious to see Sanya. I dont remember, or know, her.
I added a link to her name in the post that will show you what I know so far about Sanya.
There better be a peach-themed party for Marlo including fireworks and a live band or I will be very disappointed.
Great to see RHOA starting up filling soon especially after The trials and tribulations they had gone through finding a cast. I’m shocked bravo will allow nene to film! ’it seems like they only want former housewives to comeback to close storylines like Jill/Bobby funeral or Brandi and Adrienne sit down (during season 5)
Btw any update on one of Akon “wife’s” joining the show?
Marlo is my girl, so I’m excited that she’s finally getting her peach after being reduced to a friend of for so many years after her criminal record and comments in season 4. They mine as well keep Sheree going forward, love her or hate her, a lot of viewers love her with her non storylines, delusions and all. Kandi and Drew are cool but it looks like we may get a repeat Kenya storyline with this ongoing divorce nonsense and the Marc drama. I’ll wait to see what Sanya and possibly Akon’s wife bring. Hopefully Kandi brings Latoya around because she understands the assignment with her messy behind.
Beverly Hills, Potomac and Jersey have strong cast with great storylines and personalities but I don’t really know about Atlanta going forward after this season. Nene, Claudia, Shamari, Latoya or Falynn popping in would definitely bring some viewership.
Sounds like they had to go to the graveyard to find a story. It isn’t like every online source or news didn’t publicize Gregg’s death. Nene sure will be making the most out of her new single status, if she isn’t already. I bet they are giving her a huge payday for this appearance, we know she has high demands. I feel it is wrong for Bravo to have her back after the disparaging remarks she made about the network and people there.
Rumor is they are trying to placate her so she will go away more QUIETLY and stop all the threats to sue and miscellaneous other bullshit.
@Tamara
Does she have legitimate reasons to sue or just the threats? Just curious…
She just had a meltdown when she was let go and ran around saying Bravo was racist etc in interviews because they wouldn’t five her her own show. So they gave Porsha one. LOL. She just decided to take the two episodes they originally offered her to wrap things up. And maybe a WWHL appearance.
Thanks Tamara for clarification. I stopped watching RHOA because of the negativity however, I come here to read your recaps…..my guilty pleasure.
Ditto.
I’m confused by this cause nene hasn’t talked about bravo or suing for months. And at first they telling you hell will freeze over before she ever appears on the show and now they telling u they placating her for 2 episodes. What it seems to me is that the people of Bravo have no clue what they are doing and things keep changing day to day
This is also true.
Bravo is about making money, you may not like Nene, but Bravo knows that she will make them some money.
I happen to love Nene and can’t stand Kenya. Sheree can’t bring nothing to the show but a lot of mess, Bravo is really in trouble bring the bone carrier back. I am so tired of Kanda, she starts mess and turns her head.
If Bravo thought what you think, they’d bring her back full time. This is an entirely separate situation.
This show needed Real Love and less drama, it actually started out well but then Selfishness kicked in and got the best of them. It was more like being Thirsty for Attention ! Good Luck to them all…..
I agree wholeheartedly with Evelyn
I’m curious about Sheree. I didn’t know that she had a significant other. She is such a phony.
Remember that scene in one of the early RHOA where Sheree and Nene were having wine somewhere and got into a huge fight? That was over a criminal who stole from churches who is currently in a halfway house somewhere. Tyrone. That’s her jailbird lover.

😂😂😂
She’s so desperate to keep going back after not receiving a contract twice.
I am not feeling super optimistic. I feel like most of them are friends” so what are we really going to cover unless we are going to see Kenya & Marlo go back at it. Marlo, Kandi, Kenya, Sheree, & Shamea are all relatively cool. Drew is not a good match for Kenya she comes off really forced and folds. Its almost as if she shrinks with a big personality like Kenya.
Maybe just Marlo vs Shamea. They may end up being dependent on whatever friends they bring in, if any. I don’t want to count them out but it doesn’t appear like they have it.
I guess it will be nice for Nene to close Gregg’s chapter but honestly after crying all over the internet and television empowering her fans to attack Bravo with her fallacies and lies why is she back. God I don’t want to see her on WWHL with the fake dramatics after she called him a cokehead or whatever she said.
Are they optimistic about this season or just trying to make it work?
The answer to your question is B. They are throwing everything against the wall to see if anything sticks.
What the hell is Shamea supposed to do without Porsha. It’s all a mess.
I am happy that NeNe is doing a closer on Greg. He deserves that. Why is Sheree coming back . Kenya needs to retire. Not relevant anymore.
If they wanted drama, it was a lot simpler than what it ended up being. They should have brought back Kim Z, Phaedra, Claudia, Nee Nee, Sheree (which they did), Candi and Kenya. Now THAT, ladies and gentlemen is ENTERTAINMENT. (And if they couldn’t see their way clear to bring back Ne Ne), drop her and keep Marlo. If you’re going to go for drama…..GO FOR DRAMA. This lineup is weak at best and at worst, an ambien.
If Bravo got a whole new crew with true “connectedness” instead of forced “acquaintanceships”, I would probably watch regularly again. But, since it seems like a whole new crew is not on the horizon, I’ll just keep doing what I have now been doing for years: checking in with TT to find out if anything of interest is going on.
