July 22, 2012 10:40 am The following is from today’s NYPost…
NYPost: ”Bravo is looking to ax cast members from “The Real Housewives of Orange County” to bring in some fresh — and wealthy — talent. Sources told us Bravo execs are looking to refresh the cast the same way that it revamped the cast of its New York City franchise this season, adding three new women. An e-mail sent last week from “Housewives of Orange County” producers Evolution Media said it was looking for “fabulous affluent women and their families who live in amazing homes to potentially be on this series.”
Once source told us Bravo is looking to dump at least one regular on the program, and said cast mates Vicki Gunvalson andAlexis Bellino were the most vulnerable, adding that Bellino is out of favor with producers after leaving filming in Costa Rica early during the last season. Sources also said that producers had considered asking Gunvalson’s pregnant 24-year-old daughter Brianna Wolfsmith to join the cast, given that she eloped with her boyfriend last year and is already known to Orange County viewers. Bravo had no comment.”
The actual casting call was on SH July 7, 2012… nice to see the NYPost catching up!!
If YOU fit these requirements… and want every facet of YOUR life dissected… apply according to directions!

It would crack me up if Tamra got canned before she could suck Bravo for another gay wedding. She’d have to go back to pole dancing at a broke down middle aged hooker palace.
I would like Bravo to stop paying Slade and Brooks. We don’t need them on the show.
Amen Holly!!!
they are actually getting paid? OMG
i would love to see vicki and alexass dumped. vicki because she is so over the top in her reality and alexass because i just cannot watch her pathetic self anymore. her husband is a total control freak and makes me wanna vomit and she is really a huge one upper. i would love to see briana on though, she is great and would bring a down to earth voice tot he show, but if her mother went away she would never join the cast.
I too, would like to see Brianna on the show….she would add some semblance of normalcy, but for her sake I hope she won’t sign on if asked. It seems if your not already off-balance mentally then the show pushesyou over the edge. She is going to have a baby and she needs to give her child and husband the life they all deserve.
This is so easy, Tamara, Gretchen, and Vickie. I know OC, and these gals are not what they are portrayed to be. PLEASE BRAVO!!!
OC needs a serious overhaul, that’s for damn sure. I vote for a complete new cast.
The only one who is real is Brianna. I have little respect for any of the others. They are so boring and not very bright.
The NY Post is really on top of things. I wonder if they’ve reported the Tom & Katie divorce yet.
How will Vicki pay for her LARGE mtg now that she no longer has Donn’s paycheck to help pay the mtg on her big house if she gets the boot from RHOC? This is definitely along with RHNJ on the top of the list for a major overhaul. I cannot stand Vicki’s screeching or for that matter most of the cast for another season. I truly will not watch RHOC if they do not make so major changes.
what are you talking about? donn hasn’t worked in about 20 years. he was a lazy strain on vicki and part of the reason why she worked so damn hard. donn was as lazy as slade.
I think I remember Vicki herself saying that she needed “Donn’s check” to meet the mortgage??
That’s exactly what she said on the reunion. That Donn was still living there because she needed his paycheck due to the large mtg and that Bri and Ryan had moved in and Mike had just moved out and that Brooks did not come over to the house. As of I believe last week or so Vicki was awarded the house and Donn has moved out as he got the lake house in the divorce. So Donn must have a job somewhere if Vicki said she needed his paycheck to pay the mtg each month.
I agree. I got the impresssion from the start that he wasn’t working and she had to support him. There’s a lot of “men” out there that will do that, too. Sit around and leach off of their wife.
Here is a link from a past blog of SH on Vicki and mentions Donn’s job.
http://stoopidhousewives.com/real-housewives/real-housewives-of-orange-county/vicki-gunvalson/
At present, Vicki is married to her second husband Donn Gunvalson, who is an executive at a shipping company. She has two children – Michael, now 22, who attends the University of Colorado, Boulder and Briana, now 21, who is in nursing school.
Donn is an executive at White Cap Construction Supply headquarted in Costa Mesa, which is the country’s largest supplier of equipment and material to building contractors, and has about 1,000 employees. It’s easy to Google.
I can’t stomach another season of Vicki/Crooks and the lovetank filling, Tamballs/Eddie and their faux wedding storyline and the Wretched/Slimey should I marry him or just have his baby saga. Boring!!! This cast needs a MAJOR overhaul! Bringing back Jeanna and Peggy would be a vast improvement.
I’d rather not think about Vicki’s love tank, thank you very much. Blech! They should make Brianna a full cast member. Her hubby seems like a decent guy.
Dump the other side of the couch! Tamra is a nasty, vile and white trash. Heather is nasty, vile and new money. Gretchen is fake and has the worst style and taste in men. I would keep Vicki and Brianna. I don’t get how no one else is interested in seeing Alexis become independent from Jim. She’s the only one who’s grown into herself over the course of this show.
Good points on “the other side of the couch,” but that’s where all the DRAMA is, so those, ahem, “ladies” probably aren’t going anywhere. Drama = viewers = advertisers = money.
I agree about Heather. For someone who grew up in such a privileged environment, she certainly has to remind us constantly about her wealthy background. I personally think THAT was the only reason she ever had any type of acting career. Connections.
I agree. DO get rid of the other side of the couch. See my comment below. I would rather have watched Alexis than TamTrash. The reason to keep Vicky on is to see her and Brianna interact and watch Vicky become a grandmother. It has been fun watching Brianna grow up. I want to see her become a mom.
I hope they get rid of TamTrash ASAP. They need to get rid of her like they did Jillz from RHNY. All her scenes with Eddie look so contrived; the ” I luv you so much I could die” story line is boring. I have NO interest in watching another housewife wedding, especially trashy Tamra’s. I doubt Simon will allow his children to be filmed at her wedding to Eddie anyway. And who wants to see Ryan be Eddie’s best man? Doesn’t Eddie have any friends of his own? TamTrash’s middle aged mean girl clique (Tam, Gretchen, and Heather) has made the show toxic. The show seems cheap like her. I want to see CLASS NOT TRASH!
What exactly would Brianna add to the show?????I find her boringgggg,she is not attractive at all,her personality isn;t that great.Oh wait,maybe add her to the show to see her marriage crumble.
I agree! I am not a Brianna fan, and do not think she has the common sense that others find in her. Maybe next to her mother she can be considered sensible, but that is not saying much IMO. I find Brianna to be physically unattractive, petty, disloyal, and rancorous.
If the producers want beautiful, wealthy women, I would say that Tamra, Gretchen, and Alexis are out on the wealthy side of the equation. Vicki is out on the beautiful requirement and Heather, well Heather appears to be nouveau riche, and I guess the question of beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don’t see it.
I’m not crazy about any of them, but if anyone has to go PLEASE let it be Tamra and Gretchen.
NOBODY WANTS TO SEE GRETCHEN TRYING FOR A BABY OR TAMMY SUE GETTING MARRIED. – So boring.
New blood is needed.
If Gretchen is asked to leave, are any of the remaining housewives willing to support Slade? Or does he have to actually move to another Housewives town?
New cast members sounds good. They won’t get rid of VIcki yet. She’s bringing too much drama to the table. But a couple of really affluent women added to the cast would be interesting.
I think the whole franchise is exhausted. It’s totally staged, there’s no “reality” on these shows. Gretch even spilled it during the reunion when she said to Alexis that all the girls “have” to express “opinions” about each other – that that IS the show. Hence the fighting and drama. It’s all a bunch of bull.
I think Tamra and Gretchen are vulnerable, that’s why they suddenly manufactured making up and playing off the other girls.
I wish they would get rid of Tamra and Alexis.
Tamballs needs to go. Keep Gretchen for one more season so we can see her suck up to vicki or Alexis when Tamballs leaves.
I would love to see Tamra go, she is such a hateful person. I would also like to see Gretchen groveling, trying to win back Alexis’s friendship.
Ditto
So, essentially the Real Housewives has turned into an hour long commercial. And it’s no longer a reality show. Promote their businesses. Interesting.
I think Wetchen and her Feva I think I can sing should be shown the door.
Ms SH, check out US weekly. Alexis and Jimbo issued a statement and are threatening legal action aganist Tamara. I don’t think Alexis will be back.
kas: Saw it… have been saying that Alexis is gettin’ da Bravo boot for a few months. TFC!!! SH
First Brooks & Vicki and now Jim & Alexis. Lots of fanfare over the “threat” of legal action, but no actual lawuits filed. Now if Gretchen will threaten to sue Heather over something, all of the Orange bases will be covered.
For Brianna’s sake and her family, please stay away from any and all HW Shows.

why oh why do are these shows called “Housewives” anything….., when most are not housewives, except for Heather and Alexis; so they are the only ones qualified to be on the show…and now Briana, who really is an OC housewife example.
