Andy Cohen Snubs The Real Housewives of New York City

Sounds like, just as I expected, the RHONY cast without Bethenny is just too boring:

Andy Cohen, The Real Housewives producer, sent an email to the New York City cast announcing their season premiere would be delayed by a couple of months. Or so.


The Real Housewives of New York City was slated to air after the Real Housewives of Atlanta cleared up their Nene Leakes conspiracy theories in mid February.


But no can do. The Real Housewives of Miami will air instead of the ladies in New York. It's already been stated that the NYC cast has been pushed back because this year's season doesn't have too much drama. It is said that this season the seven housewives, minus Bethenny Frankel, got along this season.


Not many could blame Bethenny for leaving after she married Jason and had a baby and listened to Kelly and Jill attack her at every turn. Bethenny then took off with her own hit show, Bethenny Getting Married, a show that surpassed the Housewives ratings.


Frankel was replaced by a new housewife, Cindy Barshop a hair removal guru with twin daughters.


To date, the Atlanta Housewives have the highest ratings, although Season 3 ratings of the Real Housewives of New York City were reportedly good. However, the fighting between all of the cast members made the season especially intense. The hurt feelings, broken friendships were irreconcilable even at the reunion, and as expected, the most durable and commercial housewife, Frankel exited.


Season 4 of the Real Housewives of New York City has a different set of producers and the New York Daily News said that the early viewer reaction to trailers of the NYC cast was not good.


Consequently, the show is being pushed back to make for editing purposes, NYC Housewives star Sonja Morgan explained.


Cohen has not uttered a word on the return of The Real Housewives of DC, another franchise mired in bickering because most of the DC socialites said they were skeptical about filming again with Michelle Salahi and her husband, the infamous White House party crashers.


Cohen asked NYC cast members not to tweet the email marked urgent, but in the email said the show would not make its scheduled February 22 air date, but instead would air in the spring, perhaps March or April.


The Real Housewives of Miami features former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippin's wife, Larsa Pippen and five others.

If this is all true then the blames lie with whatever idiots picked Cindy Barshop to replace Bethenny in the first place. From the moment I heard her name and read about her, she just seemed too nice (i.e. "dull") and again, why the need for 7 'Housewives' anyway? Seven is just too much. RHONY didn't need somebody to be contrived and phony (like Phaedra on RHOA), just someone with their own, unique personality, who could stir things up a little bit. Sonja was a good addition, but when it comes to confrontation she holds back too much. Sure, there'll never be another Bethenny, but more effort could've been made to find someone close to meeting Bethenny's charm, wit and ability to get in Team Jill's condescending, self-important, lying asses when needed to. It's sad that its come to this, but better they fix whatever's wrong then have viewers start calling for them to replace the whole lot. Really now, didn't they learn anything from the Jennifer Gilbert Experiment? Somewhere you just know Bethenney's smirking at this news.
