Interesting...I think they definitely needed a change. I would have kept Silex for their comedic value...but Alex really needed to lose her "voice". I think they probably wanted to lose Ramona because she was a pain in the ass, but she was so good for the sound bytes. Jill was always too much about Jill in her interviews. I think Kelly would have been fine as long as she didn't have to interact with Bethenny.

I think Andy Cohen is kind of a moron who really got lucky with the RH franchises.

i go back and forth on the Is Andy A Moron question. Sometimes I agree with you, andme. Other times I suspect he's just really got this character he plays on TV and that means not revealing the corporate line but letting the "stars" hang themselves on their own lines. He's one of the rare people I've seen on TV who really seems to enjoy his success without letting it blow his head up to bobble head proportions.

The "Bravo Mole" is only a guess on my part.

I never thought that Luann was out to get Bethenny; that was Jill from my POV. Luann (I agree, Mariah; she's under Jill's thumb because of some secret) seemed to just be 100% willing to do whatever Jill wanted, whether that was listening in during a phone conversation or not going on a free vacation. I mean, come on ... Luann's excuse was her children! That's GOTTA be fake! ;)

But I do think something about Alex ... maybe her loving relationship with her husband who was THERE for her ... pissed Luann off something fierce. I would even venture to guess that Luann might have put a bug in Andy's ear "it's her or me" or "I'd be happier without her in the cast" or "Jill won't fight as much if you also axe Alex" ... Andy does have his favorites!

Hm...hadn't thought about it that way - and let's face it, LuLu doesn't have the means to go on lavish vacations like that anymore. What does LeRoss do? She has the nice Hamptons house and is probably using Bravo money to fund the pied-a-terre *in NYC. I'm thinking the days of lavish vacations are over.

*thank goodness for google - the first time I tried to look up the proper spelling it didn't even recognize it..took about four tries.

True. It may be lack of Jill, Kelly, and Alex that dropped the ratings.

It could also be that the last two seasons made everyone sick, or that the housewives shows have run their course, except for the super trashy ones that have more loyal fans.
Or.... it could be that they are running three damn ho-wife shows at the same time these days and not every one is watching every show unlike myself.

Maybe they were last year too - I honestly can't remember. But once I start a show it's embarrassing how I will watch it through until the end; it's like I HAVE to finish it. But I would have made an exception with NY this year had the cast not changed. I found that reunion last year was excruiating. Even Andy lost his cool and screamed at those harpies to STFU!.

As far as Bravo monitoring the boards - I think it's a very safe guess that someone is keeping an eye on the TWoP forums since Bravo owns it. Good grief - when the Bravo deal was being made they not only shut the RHOOC [the only ho-wife show at the time] thread down they completely deleted it! The rumour was [from what I considered a credible source] that Whori Lauri and Wallet's attorneys had threatened TWoP/Bravo with a lawsuit.

Shopper - I thought Luann said Le Ross was a wine distributor or importer or something like that.

Yeah and the RHNY thread on TWOP allows exactly NO information, which all began with Jill's Amazon adventures. I'm sure Bravo has people monitoring various boards, or who have google alerts. At the very least they read articles and scan the comments on those. (Gawker, LA Times, Pretty On the Outside, etc.)

Maybe - do remember LuLu correcting Ramoner at her Pinot launch, but figured that was just LuLu being Lulu, not b/c of her connection to Le Ross.

Plus didn't they go to some "Singles Wine Tasting" event last year? Luann and Le Ross were there and I thought he was connected to the event in some way via the wine - but I don't really know for sure.

Looks pretty nice. Only in business six years, so who knows how much they make. I suppose he gets paid by Bravo too. I like Jacques, seems unpretentious and nice. Goes with the flow and doesn't seem to let things bother him.

I don't think this board is heavily monitored by the Bravo people. They may have perused it a few times but I think it's a blip on their radar. However, I think they're all over TWOP, along with PR staff, friends & family and the housewives. And their little dogs, too ;)

My opinion is Andy's a pimp and a misogynist and a huge famewhore. I think he encourages the fighting and bickering amongst the women - and that team shit, too. Once the bullying tag started, he backed off and fired who he thought was damaging the (his) image. I think he can be charming, but deep down, his soul is rotten.

Hell yeah, running all those shows at the same time is what's killing the franchise. I wonder why they removed the shows from the Thursday 10pm time slot.

They went back up for her saying "yes, I like British accents, from the BRITISH." with the implied eye-roll at Lulu.

Oh man, I covet that marble deep bathtub!

I'm kind of glad Ramona asked all of those questions about Aviva's leg, it was actually interesting to see it and have Aviva explain. Who else would ask?
