It has been rumored… hmmmm, is “rumored” the right word here? Let’s start over…
Rob Shuter released another of his Bravo-endorsed “leaks” days ago stating that Camille Grammer would not be returning to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. This is absolutely no surprise. What reason would Camille have to continue her “role” on season three of the RHOBH?
Shuter at SUR filming…
Let’s look back:
Camille was finished after season one. Producers had to convince her to come back for season two and Camille reluctantly agreed. The only reason Camille went for season two was to rehabilitate the lousy edit she received on season one. Producer’s also demanded that Camille “bring the drama” for season two… Camille did not agree to season two to bring any drama. Camille just wanted her character’s image to be cleaned up.
Was Camille’s character sanitized? Yes…this season, Camille was shown to be the complete opposite from the person she was portrayed on season one. Job done!
Camille has been vocal about Bravo/Evolution/producers decision to air season two… and has gone on record as saying that she felt this season should NOT have premiered… at all.
Now that Camille is seen in a good light and she spoke her mind about season two (which probably pissed off Bravo/Evolution/producers)… what reason does Camille have to participate in season three?
Camille’s storyline (did she have one this season?) is complete. Camille’s character has been given the full Bravo makeover. Camille seem happy with Dimwitri… and Camille does not need the Bravo paycheck.
If Camille agrees to another season, she is very aware of the fact that the spotlight would be shown on her boyfriend, Dimwitri LuckyCharms and his unfortunate relation to the “Silver City Ripper.” And would open the door to explore Dimwitri’s past relationships… in particular the mother of his 5-year-old. Why allow this possibility?
It takes no brains to come to the conclusion that Camille will not be back for season three…. Camille is looking forward to breaking away from Bravo and has new projects in the works.
So… who WILL be returning?
Kim Richards… it’s Kyle’s show. No Kim, no Kyle… Kim will be back for season three.
Kim Richards…
Brandi Glanville… yes, Bravo/producers will be asking Brandi to return and she will be given more camera time and a better storyline.
Brandi Glanville…
Dana Wilkey… Hmmm. ”Friend” Dana is gone. What does AlienShapeShifterPam Dana add to the show? IMO, Dana seems delightful and plays her part well (Oh, look at me, I’m the ditzy rich girl, just havin’ fun…). And, yes, it is a “part”… ’cause Dana can’t back up her Bravo character in REAL life… here and here.
Dana Wilkey…
It is SOP for producers to ask the remaining Housewives, Lisa Vanderpump, Adrienne Maloof and Kyle Richards, if any of their wealthy female friends would be interested in appearing on the show. So, the search is on for Camille’s, and possibly Lisa’s replacements….
NOTE: Would Bravo seriously consider the return of Shana for next season? Ser-i-ous-ly? I’ve taken note of several outlets giving Shana the thumbs up for season three. IMO, Shana is a huge liability… for numerous reasons. Bravo ain’t that dumb to ask her back… however, there is a rumored contract which is still in effect for Shana.
I liked having at least one normal low key person. Their decision not to ask Camille back – I hope it doesn’t have anything to do with them bringign Taylor back, and Camille knowing she is full of poop
I think that may be the big reason she’s not wanting to return. Traylors coming back and she thinks that Traylor is unstable and dangerous. Bravo should really consider not bringing her back, because it will be another season of the Traylor show.
I’m surely NOT watching another Lyin’ Azz Trailer Trash Pity Party.
Bravo will no longer work on my ‘clicker.’
I am hoping Brandi will be back full-time and they lose Dana, Kim, and Shana. I love y’all, but I have a rough day ahead so I am gonna trip with Yo Gabba Gabba! for a bit.
am I correct in thinking that Camille is the only one who hasnt launched any products off the back of bravo – I dont even think she has a website?
she is one of four? women who have developed a jewelry line (profits for the jewelry goes to charity) they are pretty pieces…but my budget cannot fund a 85 dollar bracelet.
So far (as far as I researched) has not attached BRAVO’s name to it. Maybe since its not for profit?
Agreed. I had also researched and didn’t find anything profitable. She also maintains a private Facebook page. At one time, it was searchable (and had her maiden name). Can no longer find it doesn’t appear to have a public page on Facebook (like most of the other ladies). I think that in itself speaks volumes. Not in the ‘Camille Fan Club’ by any stretch of the imagination, but out of many of the ladies (from all of the RH’s combined) she has played this experience out, pretty well.
that is what I am saying. Camille is a breath of fresh air, but if she really likes her boyfriend, I think she will not do the show next year. So sad
Can’t bravo keep one low key housewife! I am really scared after seeing Shayna at teh book signing, that she is going to be on next year – and of course we will all stop watching. Oh well.
Her boyfriend doesn’t sound like a prize, exactly. Scary circle that he comes from. I question Camille’s judgment.
At the thought of Kim coming back for another season, Kyle is licking her fangs and pulling out the fork & knife & bbq sauce….. and her hanky to mop up her dry tears…..
If Lisa comes back on top of having a spin-off show, Kyle’s every other word would be about her own pilot having been sold.
If Shanna comes back, then she’s going to be going after Brandi big time, cuz of the rumors that Brandi didn’t kiss her ass on the coming reunion episodes.
mm-mmm….now I’m hungry for Sonny’s….
Ms. SH~ Why does that pic of Brandi and Camille say that it’s Brandi and DANA?
MsS: Image was labeled incorrectly… corrected! BECKY!!!! TFC!! SH
Hee hee.
I would miss Camille on the show. She brings a level of class that is missing … and btw the photo is of Brandi and Camille I think, not Brandi and Dana .. check the body, the hair
xo
Aw, thanks Ms. SH.
I just saw the “here” that you included about Dana.
MsS: Oh, no… thank YOU! Excellent research!!! TFC!! SH
Well good for Camille if she does not return, I don’t know why any ethical person would want to participate in the show, Bravo and Shana are responsible for pushing Russell over the edge.
I don’t understand the compulsion to make an azz of yourself on national television.
I would not want to film with the morally corrupt Shana Lynette Taylor Hughes Taylor Sipes Ford Armstrong either.
But, maybe they are afraid that if they don’t bring back poor little Miss victim of Domestic violence turned role model, they will look like bad guys. They have to be seen as politically correct, you know. as to Camille not coming back, good for her. She doesn’t need the money and she doesn’t need to be involved in a show that she knows had a hand in the suicide of one of it’s cast members. Who would want to be associated with these Bravo whores who have sold their souls to the devil.
I have a feeling that Bravo is going to pull something similar to what they did regarding Kim & rehab.
Just as they start shooting for season 3, Bravo is suddenly going to demand Taylor attend AND FINISH a full term of rehab before allowing her to be back on the show. This way Bravo can look benevolent without criticism about kicking off an ‘abused widow.’
And what would Shanna’s response be to this? It would be hard for her to have a good reason to criticize Bravo for the rehab requirement especially as the publicity around her now is of an excessive drinker with lots of emotional baggage & whose friends have been telling her to get into rehab .
Bravo execs don’t get paid the big money for nothing. If they’re going to keep her off the show, they’re going to do it in a way to make themselves look good and prevent Taylor from badmouthing them.
The morally corrupt Taylor Armstrong could wail about the Bravo executives ripping an emotionally wounded child from Taylor’s loving arms just when Kennedy needs her the most. (Taylor has already floated that trial balloon)
Shaft and Bravo could use her going to rehab as an excuse for her NOT to make appearances to promote “The book of lies” or whatever the hell the title is . Ya know.. doing what is best for her and her concern for Kennedy.. and blah, blah, blah.
Bravo would be out of their minds to bring Taylor back after everything that happened last season and her behavior since the season has started airing. She would be a huge liability to Bravo. If Camille is not coming back because she doesn’t want to live in the public eye and just have a happy life, I will be sad to see her go but understand it completely. If she is not coming back because of Taylor because Taylor will be on season 3, i will be completely disappointed that Bravo has not listened to the viewers of the show.
Just because Kyle sold her pilot doesn’t mean it will be picked up or aired does it? It’s not a guaranteed show I hope. The last thing we need is Kyle thinking she is more relevant than she already thinks she is.
Lisa I would like to see back, even Kim if she is gong to have herself pulled together, Kyle needs to have Kim on the show to have a story line, so if Kim comes back I hope they at least have somebody on the show that will be able to not let Kyle continually pound Kim. I like Adrienne and Paul, Paul has been extremely good this season. I love Brandi, Dana can go scratch.
Rumors always run rampant before the people returning are announced so until it is official, I will believe it when I see it.
Did they ask Taylor if she had any grifting, skanky friends that would be interested in appearing on the show?
Other than Dana, you mean?
gail: How true. However, I hit the mark pretty close. TFC!! SH

Kyle has been in this thing from the beginning to promote herself and her hubby. Hope any shows they try to develop flop.Kim is needed so Kyle can keep practicing her acting, cause maybe she will hit it big one day, LOL ! Camille would be missed but she doesn’t need the money or the aggro.
Now if they bring Shaft back.. well then we’ll know that bravo and the producers have all been sharing in Kim’s “stash”.. ain’t no other way to explain the stoopid !
I would be open to watching a Lisa or Brandi spinoff. I can’t stomach another season of Bravo/Evolution-induced HWs drama though; I’m over it. I’m afraid to watch, for fear of getting sucked into the vortex again. Good to know that Traylor’s not being asked back. Like you said, Ms. SH: she’s such a huge liability. It’s also so fascinating to me, that, in real life, BPDs are huge liabilities and triangulators in interpersonal interactions; they come through like Hurricane Katrina. Traylor really must have put Bravo/Evolution through the ringer, behind the scenes.
The only thing I will miss about the whole franchise fizzling out, will be this site. Ms. SH, do you have something else planned for when HWs finally goes away?
Noooooooo! Don’t even voice that out loud! Ms. SH can’t go away! We love her! I know I speak for so many when I express how much happiness she and this site bring to us each day
I know; me too! I want her to have the next chapter ready, just in case this subject matter disappears.
Do you think Promises would give us a group rate to get over SH withdrawals?
I was kinda hoping Brandi wouldn’t be back. She just doesn’t fit in. Bring on Denise Richards. She is friends with Kyle. And Kathy Hilton, once voted the worst mother in the world.
Dana is just soooooooooooooooooooo dull. Is it really that hard to find a famewhore in Beverly Hills? I’m shocked.
Denise Richards probably needs the gig…but I think she’s a little too down to earth for this crew…
Denise Richards has had some good gigs on television, in fact think there was just a recent thing she was promoting on one of the networks. I don’t think she would want the drama. My goodness, look at what she has to go through with the Charlie circus (and then his other ex’s drug issues) that pulls her in by association through Charlie. I think she’s got enough going on as it is. Not worth the money and stress.
most fame whores have too many skeletons in the closet and now everyone knows that Bravo will go after your skeletons.
Ahhh.. don’t fret n. , there are so many more out there . Famewhores breed faster than skeeters in a swamp and they have less brains then skeeters !
I have been exceedingly, caustically critical of Camille’s airport diva fit. I like to believe she really is much better, more dignified and elegant than that and hopefully she won’t pull that bs again. That said, I think she can happily progress after this show should she want to. I did like how she was balanced and seemingly well rooted this season if she did not have a “dramatic” or “bitch” storyline. I like how her presence often calmed situations down and much prefer her in this light.
Brandi is definitely entertaining. She’s quite hip and has a sweetness to her, and I like that about her.
Finally, I do have to say, I like how Evolution shoots a lot of the scenery and the music they use. They do a great job with ambience.
She handles herself well with Kim’s tirades, too. Even if it’s prompted/scriped/suggested. I don’t know many women that would stand there and take it.
Do they extend their casting call to country Jails? I’m sure they could find someone that has be arrested 6or 7 times.
ah..it is the perfect storm though to find someone who is actually rich..doesn’t have too many skeletons, and would agree to be on this show…Also, please no Denise Richards. She has daughters that go to school, and I would hate to think of the ridicule they would take with her mom’s antics on the RHOBH.
Let’s get someone who is truely rich, with older kids – like another Lisa.
I KNOW! LET’S PUT MUHAMMAD’S GIRLFRIEND ON, then we get more Muhammad. That could be great?
I agree with you. Thats an excellent idea. Though I think Muhammad should drop his girlfriend and hit on Brandi.
On Andy Brandi did say Mohammed tried to kiss her, when Andy questioned her about the girlfriend Brandi told him they had broken up. She said, no he did not get the kiss.
My husband deleted “accidentally” all my Andy shows. Now I’m even more mad.
perfect..I would love 2-3 episodes with Brandi being set up with Muhammad. Wouldn’t that just kill Eddie if Brandi became the super rich wife of Muhammad…That would be an awesome show which then Lisa would have to stay with RHOBH
Exactly. And wouldn’t that just burn Leann’s butt. I know Brandi is over it, but I’m not! LOL.
Wait. That would require Leann to have a butt, which we’ve all seen the photos.. she does not possess this. She would be so pissed! Okay, Brandi and Muhammad set up, make it look real, people!
What would make my day is if Brad Pit left Jolene and hooked up with Brandi and she dumped his Behind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i soooooooo have wanted to keep hating on Brad and Angie, but in reality…she is a much better fit for what he should have been doing with his life. Jen was super into remodeling their mansion and having the hollywood life…nto in a spoiled jerky way, but just that kind of life. Brad seemed to feel empty and lost in that life. Now he has a gaggle of great kids..travels all over, and does good work through the UN, and donates a ton of their money to charity.
I want to hate them forever, but just can’t anymore because his life seems so much more fulfilling than it used to. It is like the quarterback and homecoming queen getting married because they were supposed to – Jen at the top of her game and Brad at the top of his………but it stunted his growth I think, and now I think he is much happier traveling the world and being a dad.
I agree Nancyadopt…Brad turned out to be a bit more bohemian than Jen… to each their own… But it does seem like a much better fit.
There’s something about Jen that keeps driving them away. Jus’ sayin’.
i think Jen isn’t a very fulfilled person……please don’t hate me all those that don’t have kids..but kids force you into being a multidimensional person. Also travel does – have different eclectic friends….I think Jen seems like a nice enough person, but a little flat..a little 2 D. Also, she always wants the pretty boy…Why not look at some less beautiful men who might be more interesting or into your personality.
The only reality I was talking about was the Bravo kind. I do know real life is different. Said humorously not witchy.
I will miss Camille not coming back but I think she will protect herself and her kids and see why staying away is best, especially since she has cleaned up her reputation. Brandi has to come back because I think she will butt heads w/Kyle who will be so jealous of Brandi and her body. Lisa adds humor and if she gets a spinoff and can do both, it will be fun. Sadly they will bring Kim back and Kim is not well. You can’t take a lifetime of mental illness and dysfunctional relationships and “fix” it in 30 days. All Kim has done is chemically dry out, the problems that lead to her addiction have not been addressed. Didn’t all the reports say Kim was uncooperative and wanting to leave the whole time she was in rehab, doesn’t sound like any solution to me. Kyle and Kim will have drama because that is just the sick history of these two, Kyle will still disapprove of Kim’s decisions and want to control and enable Kim. Kim still won’t stand on her own two feet and be accountable. Now for Shafty Shana I think she is scamming everybody. If she goes bankrupt and can’t get Russells and her debts discharged then she will go psycho. But if she can escape her role in their financial mess, score some bucks from Bravo, her book and other endorsements or deals she will suddenly be all healthy and will blossom as the role model of survivor of DV, unless of course her drug dabbling and alcohol binging is not curbed. Shafty Shana just wants Lisa to take her under her wing like she did Cedric and let her have the good life, pay her bills and the whole works. I think this series will be more like NY/NJ combo. Boring and predictable as we will know who plays what role.
Blech. I think I may be done with Bravo.
I want to see Candy Spelling on the show. She is a little older, super rich and quirky.
Good for Camille! Mission accomplished, bad edit corrected, she gets to ride into the sunset now. Don’t blame her one bit. She has a new love, sweet children, and tons of cash from this split from Jhole of the decade. Why WOULD she stay on this trainwreck of a show? She played this thing right and really isn’t a good fit. And not being a good fit for RHOBH is NOT a put down!! Candy Spelling would be a hoot. I bet she would give the fakes what for and call them out. And she’s older probably wouldn’t put up with the BS, plus her daughter is already into reality, wouldn’t be a leap for Tori and Dean to jump in on this action with cameo appearances or crossing shows (think Patty Stranger was on Tori and Dean to help set up one of her friends). They already seem to have a scripted reality thing going on over on that other network!!! Oh wait, they’re selling their house and moving onto a farm or something? Just like their ‘Bed and Breakfast’ rolling eyes. Still partially entertaining, at least there’s not as much yelling on that show!!! I use their show to decompress from the anxiety trip after watching Bravo!
Love the Idea of Charlie being one of the HW`s x that would be too funny WINNING, Brandi needs to date George Clooney though she is right up his type. Another good man on Bravo hell with Denice Brandi Charlie and Clooney we wont need anyone else!
