Tues Jan 18, "The View" ABC. Bravo exec Andy Cohen was a guest on "The View" yesterday explaining that the "Real Housewives" are not ruining society, they're fun!
So, what is the deal with the popularity of the Housewives? Basically, you can watch it and think that you know all of these people and gossip about it with your friends and not feel guilty.
Andy talked about how the shows are all real and unscripted (and edited.) He also gossiped about "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Reunion (the reunions are about an 8-hour shoot, things get heated, he asks a lot of questions) and the drama of Bravo shows in general (they look for "strong personalities" NeNe Leakes, Jeff Lewis, Rachel Zoe.) Is Bravo bringing back "The Real Housewives of DC"? They're talking about it... How does Andy deal with these high maintenance women (Housewives)? He's a good listener.
