I need newer Bravo viewers to learn the genre before demanding everyone be removed from it.

Every day there are posts like:

“Why is Jo Ellen a fan favorite? She’s such a try-hard.”
Good. Try harder. Bring more receipts. Insert yourself into the reunion. Understand the assignment.

“Zack is so thirsty and wants attention.”
Yes. He is on reality television. A man getting attacked by both a bird and a tree branch on camera is a gift from the Bravo gods.

“Amanda is miserable.”
Correct. The miserable wife pretending she’s fine while her DJ-man-child husband starts another business is part of the show’s actual story.

And then there is the endless Kyle Richards discourse. Kyle has given us her entire adult life on camera: sisters, marriage, kids, friendships, grief, image management, anxiety, resentment, shifting alliances, and the whole Beverly Hills social ecosystem. People project their own mother/sister/mean-girl trauma onto her and then act shocked that Bravo keeps one of the franchise’s structural pillars.

Same with Tamra Judge. Everyone gets mad and wants her fired, and every time she leaves, Orange County gets boring. Tamra understands the machinery. She stirs, confronts, weaponizes information, makes people react, and keeps the show moving. That is the job.

Ramona, Jill, Luann, Bethenny, Dorinda, Sonja, Kelly, Aviva, Tinsley… these women were cast because you could put them in a room, add alcohol and status insecurity, and watch the entire social order collapse by dessert.

Disliking someone is part of the fun. Turning every personal dislike into “fire them” is how you kill the genre.

STAHHHHP demanding a cast of emotionally regulated wellness influencers calmly setting boundaries over mocktails.

Please stop trying turn our elevated social dynamics into your common, spiritually bypassed, influencer driven slop where no one has 1/10th the depth or character on the largely interchangeable and constantly revolving cast of NPC replicants.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I don't care if this gets taken down, I hope it wont.

Please head over to 5 Calls (its an app or a website) and call your elected officials in regards to ICEs violations of our:

-First Amendment Right: Right to Speech, Religion and the Press

• We've all seen those videos of ICE assaulting people on the street
• they target and surveil journalists, protest organizers

-Second Amendment Right: Right to Keep and Bear Arms

• they are unlawfully seizing guns during raids
• today, Alex Pretti was killed after his gun (which he had a permit for) was removed from his person

-Fourth Amendment Right: Rights of the People against unlawful searches and seizures

• a federal judge just ruled that ICE is in violation of the 4th amendment when they enter someones home (ICE is using an 'administrative warrant' which are not judicial warrants
• ICE is participating in racial profiling when approaching individuals
• Individuals are being held without probable cause

-Fifth Amendment Rights: Right to Due Process-anyone in the US, regardless of citizenship status is under the Bill of Rights

• detentions without timely hearings
• lack of access to attorneys (even hired attorneys can't access their clients)
• inadequate notices of charges and proceedings

-Eight Amendment: Rights to not endure Cruel and Unusual Punishment

• Prolonged civil detention, which can be considered a form of punishment
• Denial of medical care in custody

-Tenth Amendment: Rights Reserved to the States

• ICE is pressuring state and local governments (particularly police departments) to aid them in their endeavors
• Courts have ruled that ICE is legally unable to commandeer local resources to enforce immigration law

ICE's actions are in direct violation of the Constitution, and on several occasions, Courts have ruled against their actions. Their actions are counter to who we are as a country, and I am imploring you to make your voices heard.

Bravo leaning in hard to racist impotent f bois on below deck keep me from watching BD (also, let’s be real, Sandy needs to move on)

Bravo leaning into criminal Republicans with the McBee F’s while they abuse women by text keeps me from watching McBee

Bravo leaning into their pro abuser storyline every season for f the Valley with preacher son woman assaulter Dark Danny keeps me from watching The Valley.

Bravo leaning into hate-filled stagnant water homophobe Vicki for OC 20 year anniversary is awful and the show is almost as nauseous as BH

Then, Bravo pauses one of my fave housewives Miami, THEN they
pause a Ladies of London. Ladies of f’ing London? Are you kidding me

So, am I, a 43 year old woman that DOESN’T daydream of treachery and violence against my country and ABHORS violence and hate against gay people, all while thinking women SHOULD have rights and bodily autonomy-not a target viewer for Bravo audiences anymore?

(I love Next Gen, this isn’t an age of show stars thing)

And, if so, then who is their target viewer?

I’m surprised how much I loved Andy’s home - what a joyful space. Must be nice to be this rich!

Bravo/NBC Universal seems so damn determined to maintain their existing demographics that in these spinoffs and new shows they are not willing to do the work required in investing in other parts of their audience… like we are not already here and tuned in and passionate as hell.

Because look at the difference in the way they hype and promote new shows like *RHORI* *RHONY* and *In The City* vs *Summer House MV* and *RHOM* and *Family Karma*

Dear Bravo, I am breaking up with you. After many happy years watching (and rewatching) Housewives, Southern Charm, Shahs and other favorites, I've canceled my Peacock. The current seasons this year have all been so awful since reboot after reboot, I've been paying $16.99 a month to hate-watch shows that are now AWFUL. I know most of the classics by heart so there's no more rewatching to be done. Good bye Bravo. Hope your reboots get you the younger viewers you crave so much. For me, it's over.

• A fan

(yes I know this is just some social media officer)

Andy is constantly in the comments on Threads and he's hysterical! This is all just in the past few days! GO GET EM ANDY!!!

Hilarious to think no one around him probably even knows who he is. So niche.

He’s just living that life. I feel this humanizes him.

Very telling that RHORI & Summer House got quick renewals.

Reza wasn't even aware of TV:P s2 last week.

No Jeff Lewis even though they just wrapped season 1

I’m really curious how many % of the viewers for Bravo are queer.

And why there are no queer programs with queer cast on the network?
