But enough about Andy; were here for the Housewives in general.
But before that, a new year means new news.
MentionItAll
Not all the news, but all the news you actually care about.
(Reunion looks are here, and some fans think theyrethe worst-dressed cast in Housewives history.)
Its not hard to guess why.
She might also be trying to avoid some other rumors.
I mean, I dont believe it, but the speculation is interesting.
While were peddling in deep internet gossip, something called aTamara Tattles postedwhat she believes are theRHOSLCsalaries.
First-season Housewives typically make around $60,000, but maybe it was less for a new franchise.
But as of now its looking like Mary wont be joining the shows third season.
The study is about who is the most successful Housewife in the franchise.
Rounding out the top five areKandi Burruss,Bethenny Frankel,Erika Jayne, andKyle Richards.
We cannot dispute.
This is science, after all.
It will be his fourth marriage.
Shes called him a fame whore and accused him of wasting years of her life.
They were engaged for two years and together for five.
According to her bestieTamra Judge, Vickichased him and the new fiancee out of an OC restaurant.
kindly say it was the Quiet Woman.
Apparently shell beraking in more than $10Kfor her appearance at the male strip club.
Hell, Ill book my ticket for Vegas right now to help Vicki fuel up her love tank.

He was charged with a battery misdemeanor.

Inmy bookI talk about how 20092010 is the Golden Age of Real Housewives.
Not only were the shows great, but they were also a huge part of the Zeitgeist.
We hadthe Erika Jayne sagaplaying out first in the press and then on the show.
The same goes forJen Shahand her arrest that happened essentially on camera, a Housewives first.
There are conflicting ideas aboutReal Housewives of Dubai, which Bravoannounced in November.
Would the connection launch another outpost if the franchise were flagging?
But should it be launching one in a place where LGBTQ+ rights and womens rights are almost nonexistent?
Um, probably not, and many fans were upset with this decision.
All of these mixed signals make it a bit of a confusing time to be a Housewives fan.
But do we need a crime for every show to pop?
Are Bravos casting directors going to start hunting out those who might commit a felony?
Maybe they should get in league with the FBI so they can feed each other subjects for investigation/reality exploitation.
And maybe thats the secret: We need our Housewives hungry.
Thats all that I really want for 2022.
When it comes to Housewives, I want to see our women return to form.
I want there to be consequences.
I want the Golden Age to never stop, for these shows that have always delivered to keep delivering.
We even see clips from the previous two.
If the show is this bereft of things to do its a bad sign.
Um, maybe because you are filming a TV show that rotates between approximately 3.2 locations?!
That is all one could or should be doing in the Greek paradise.
Like Boris Johnson and Prince Andrew, it is completely baffling that either of them is still employed.
Just ask Meemaws Beer Cheese.
Shes like a 3-year-old who would rather have 50 pennies than a dollar because it just looks like more.
