Ta-Ta! Andy Cohen Explains Why Real Housewives Get Kicked Off the Shows

-

They can’t all be winners! Andy Cohen detailed the logic behind the Real Housewives franchise’s casting equation, from who gets to stick around to who gets the boot.

Biggest ‘Real Housewives’ Feuds Ever — Where They Stand Today

The executive producer, 51, explained the method behind kicking women off the shows in an interview with Paper magazine, published on Wednesday, June 26. “If they become a turn-off to viewers, for whatever reason — they appear too fake, they’re not interesting, they’re not entertaining — [then they’re no longer a fit],” he said. “When people cross the line and it becomes unreal, that’s when they are out.”

Brandi Glanville, Gretchen Rossi, Alexis Bellino and Jill Zarin are among the cast members who had their screentime revoked throughout the years.

Similarly, Cohen has a formula for instant fan favorites. “Someone who’s funny and unique and interesting to watch. Someone who has something to say, and is different, surprising and just watchable,” he noted. “There’s a fine line between people who are desperate to be on reality television, and people who you want to watch on reality television. The Venn diagram of desperation and watchable, it’s a very slim thing in the middle where it overlaps, and you’re like, ‘That’s the bullseye, that’s NeNe Leakes, that’s Vicki [Gunvalson], that’s Bethenny [Frankel].’”

The Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen host has a “complicated” and “emotional” relationship with the reality shows’ stars. “I’m a boss, I’m a friend. … I’m an adversary, I’m a button pusher,” he told the magazine. “I’ve become legitimately friends with many of them. I care about them. So it’s nuanced. And sometimes it’s great and sometimes it’s not great.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County launched the Bravo franchise when it debuted in March 2006. The Real Housewives of New York City, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Real Housewives of New Jersey and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills followed, along with spinoffs in Washington, D.C., Miami, Dallas and Potomac.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Yellowjackets season 1 finale. What’s next? Yellowjackets quickly became one of the buzziest shows of the year following its November 2021 premiere — and its finale left viewers eager for answers. The Showtime series follows Misty ( Christina Ricci ), Natalie ( Juliette Lewis ), Shauna ( Melanie Lynskey ) and Taissa ( Tawny Cypress ), who were stranded in the wilderness as teens ( Sammi Hanratty , Sophie Thatcher , Sophie Nélisse and Jasmin Savoy Brown , respectively) after surviving a plane crash. Their traumatic experience leads the women down a dangerous path — and they aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. “Showtime does like their gore.

Our intention is never to be shocking or provocative for the sake of
