Muggy Thursday

Andy Cohen talks 'Housewives of D.C,' and gives scoop on the 'NJ' reunion.

Aug 5, 2010

It's a good night to stay indoors and watch the telly!!

Lots to celebrate today, mainly Prop 8 being overturned. This is the first step in equal rights for my people. (I don't mean the Jews.). Also, tonight is the long-awaited (certainly by us here at Bravo) premiere of The Real Housewives of D.C., the show The New York Times today calls "more delicious than all the rest" of the Housewives franchises. I don't need a review to reaffirm what we've been feeling inside Bravo for months, but that is nice vindication for us given the scrutiny the show's been under way before anyone laid eyes on it. I just want people to SEE it and then have an opinion..

After D.C., it's the finale of Bethenny Getting Married?, and it is a wonderful episode. (Have no fear — next week there's a lost footage episode of BGM?, so you get one more hit on the Bethenny crackpipe before she goes away.)

I don't know how to describe the reunion taping yesterday other than to mention the fact that it was the first time in over a year that the New Jersey Housewives had been under one roof, and that we didn't know what to expect, and the unexpected is what happened. It was angry.   There were tears, confessions, walk-offs, surprises, and jaw-drops. We started shooting at 10 a.m., and the ladies left the set at 7:30 p.m. We took breaks, but we shot A LOT.

Caroline and Danielle were seated on the same couch. For about nine hours. Picture THAT.

OK, I am about to go on Gayle King's radio show to talk to her about the D.C. Housewives.

Andy...Love YOU and miss my Monday night fix! SO Curious about the NJ Reunion! A bit surprised you survived but Can't wait...when, when, when???? How many episodes of this trainwreck do you think we'll get? More than RHONY?

Andy, you bet we're all going to be watching the DC Housewives, tonite. With all this drink-throwing and Whoopi-whipping, how couldn't we! All we need is YOU back...it's not the same without that cherry on top. Anyways, enjoy the break. I'm so proud of CA right now. What a day!

Gege from VA.

Where is the message board for NJ? Are you afraid of what we will post?

Hi Andy,

I am a true housewife fan ive been watching since the first season of Orange County. I BEG you to talk to the Bravo producers to not let Kim G on the show she was very annoying and she got on my last nerve!!!! Just like the new girl on Orange County with the boobs her and her weird husband. I don't think any of these people brings anything to the show they are a waste of tv time if you have to replace Dina please find someone else. Everytime she was on i wanted to turn the station the only reason i didnt was because the girls was in the scene!!! if she is on i just may have to drop NJ from my tv listing!!!!

Andy...I need a hit off the Andy crack pipe...when are we going to see you? Im having Watch What Happens Next withdrawals...do I need to wait till the NJ reunion?????????

Will ABC (Whoopi) have a mud bath with NBC (Salahi) on a made-for tv event?

Andy, I am so in love with you!!!! You keep me smiling. You are good for the heart and soul. Keep up the great job!

Andy:

Will be watching Housewives D.C. for sure ! ! ! I love the housewives franchises and watch them all ! ! ! Happy to read that you survived the NJ Reunion shooting, can't wait for it to air....I LOVE TERESA ! ! Enjoy your break from WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE ! ! ! Hope it will be back on in the fall. Dave, Mpls, MN

After the incident on the view, not interested in D.C.

Enough with the Housewife shows. The only decent person on any of them is Caroline.

I you want to do a real housewife show call me. I work in a non profit and see women every day who are hardworking, trying to raise kids, pay bills, and live life as a good, honest person. These are REAL housewives, not this playland you show.

Big oops! I meant to ask why no DC board? Usually the board is up weeks early, and now the day of the show, still no board! What gives?

Oh Andy, I love you and I really miss Watch What Happens Live!

I cannot wait for TRHoDC. Love, love, love the RH franchise. And I can't wait to see the reunion! I really hope the girls put Danielle in her place once and for all.

-Just love your show Andy! Can't wait until September... But, will wait patiently so that you may enjoy some much deserved time off.

I Love seeing Bettheny on your show and on hers; she, Jason and lil' Bryn (isn't she precious), are going to be missed!

I also wanted to say Congratulations on your first year, here's hoping you have many more to come! (The housewives will be here for some time, so you'll have plenty of great material). Thanks for all of the laughter.

Victoria in PA

Good luck with Housewives DC, but it will be hard to top Housewives NJ. Maybe if you move Danielle to DC, it will be pretty interesting. Just sayin'!

Andy, wow!!! I happen to be born and raised in Washington dc and I'm very disappointed that it was not a more diverse housewives cast also they didn't all live in dc... unless this is a real housewives of the "DMV" DC, MARYLAND, VIRGINIA I think this show sucks already!!!!

Andy...dude, we need you! OMG, between the "Christening" and DC Housewives, the world is an empty place without you! Can't wait until your vaca is OVER! You are the BEST! Hope you are wearing your spf 15 (at least)!

p.s. after (embarrassingly) watching ALL of the "housewives" seasons, gotta say that DC is really great! The women are smart (well, most of them), interesting, and it is REALLY entertaining! GREAT!

So watching TRH of DC and Cat's husband just made a comment about being in nc and everywhere he look he saw people playing a ban jo's. Like we are a butch of hillbilles. I am from NC and that really pissed me off! Not a good way to start a fanclub for the show but a good way to lose viewers!!!

After watching this first episode I'm not a fan by any means. Bethenny Getting Married has become my new fave, she is so fearless with her will, words and emotions on the show. I love it!! You go girl all of the happiness in the world to you and your new family.

ANDY!!!! A question for you ,Is Bethenny related to her therapist, they look like twins!!!!!!!!!!

Andy, I miss you! Hope you are enjoying your break.

Andy.... I love your show and miss it already! My husband and I look forward to seeing you and your "Mazels"! Keep up the great job... can't wait for the reunion.

Hi Andy, Love your show and LOVE the Real Housewives, but there is one thing I must tell you before the new season starts. PLEASE PLEASE do not let or give Kim G into the housewives of NJ. Can she be any obvious that she wants to be on the show...who really wants to see her...I DON'T. I think Bethenny said it best Kim G is a TERMITE!!!

I CANT BELIEVE YOU PUT CAROLINE AND DANIELLE ON THE SAME COUCH!!! I think for this reunion, each housewife should have gotten a personal chair... when does this episode air? I cannot wait, it is going to be EPIC!

Can we get subtitles for Cat on the next Housewife episode. Not to be mean but she is hard to understand without rewinding. I am sure others feel this way too.

Cat is hard to understand on DC Housewives. Please do something about this....maybe type what she is saying at bottom of screen. veryannoting not knowing what she is sometimes saying.

What in the world is Cat saying? So hard to understand her.

Love Andy. He is a bunch of sexy! Can't wait to see all the hot mess that danille from housewives of NJ is going to act at the reunion

D.C. housewives does put the others to shame. Go D.C. !! Loved it !

Did not like DC Housewives. Could not understand Cat's mumbling. Mrs. Salahi too jittery and flighty to watch. Did like Stacie,however. And,really, we do not need to Obama bash just because the show is "DC".....

DC Houseiwves started out slow....still gonna watch though as I know it will heat up. Only problem is, What is Cat saying? Not syaing I disgaree with her comments, just that I can barely make them out. Please do something about this.

Andy love, love, love you! DC -no fun. We want real stories about real housewives, not stories about people they know and names they drop. I DVR ever housewives show and your what happens. I 'm not going to use up DVR space for DC. sorry-

I truly enjoyed the RHW/DC. It was awesome. However, it was painful to watch CAT. Could not understand a word she said. We understand that she has an accent. However, the crap that came out of her mouth re:comparison of Prez Obama and former President GW Bush was insane. Some people were offended (me included) and the little bit that I could understand was ridiculous. I liked what Stacie said on the show. " I AM NOT A FAN" Well said, Stacie. She is one fab woman&I love watching Stacie. All the others are funny. One thing, though. Ms. Salahi is really odd to me. Either she is drinking TOO much coffee or extra doses of Vitamins. Honestly, I DO like her as a person, but she appears to be on some other type of ish. BTW her stylist, (can't remember his name)displayed his name as a celebrity stylist. He needs to get a "celebrity stylist" for his own hair because his hair was a HOTT MESS on that show! LOL.

My question is why they never mentioned that the stylist is apparently the other housewife on the show? Will he be in EVERY scene?

Do not enjoy the RH of DC. This show is too political and they need to stop playing the race card. I wish they'd get the chip off their shoulders. Viewers want to sit down and have a pleasant experience and a few laughs not get worked up because these women's politics get in the way.

ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS IF I SHOULD STOP SUPPORTING THE BRAVO NETWORK? WHY IS THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA NOT ON YET, THIS IS BECOMING INSULTING THAT YOU KEEP PUTTING NEW FRANCHISES OUT THERE WHEN THE ONE THAT PUT THE SHOWS ON THE MAP YOU NEVER SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HUH MYSELF AND THE 6,000 SUPPORTERS I KNOW ARE BEGINNING TO FEEL UNWANTED BY BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it true Teresa and Joe from Real Housewives of NJ have filed for bankruptcy? The way Teresa was spending money, I'm surprise their not in the poor house. It seems that Daniele was right about the bankruptcy, Teresa was the one that lied on the show, also why would she blame Bravo for their downfall when it was all her doing......Teresa and Joe pay your bills and stop being so flashy you can't afford it.

Andy, I adore you! Will you marry me? It's almost legal in California!

I love the RHW - think NYC was my favorite, though Kim G. on Jersey "square tits" really took it up a notch. I'm sure DC will be just as much fun as the rest of them. I would really love to see some small town ladies just for a change of pace. Believe me, there is drama in all classes.

Real Housewives of OC - Love it! Real Housewives of New York - Love it (Only if Bethenny comes back) Real Housewives of Atlanta - LOVE IT! Real Housewives of New Jersey - love it...Love It...LOVE IT!!!! Real Housewives of DC - Please remove this crap from your network! This is the WORST

New Jersey, New York and the OC are keepers the others are not keeping my interest, sorry bravo

Agree Agre Agree Agree AGREE!!!!!!!!!!

Cat speaks English, proper English, the mother tongue, the Queen's English, and by the way she is English. Shame on anyone for accusing her of having "an accent". I myself have suffered in all sorts of situations, being told I had an "accent" -for 40 years in this country. I am a native of Australia. We were taught as children that it was extremely rude to comment on the way others spoke the beautiful English language. English has hundreds of varieties and dialects - geographic, provincial, class, intellectual, race, etc etc.

Real Housewives of ATL did NOT put the real housewives franchise on the map. The Real Housewives of OC and NY were the first ones and are still the BEST ones. ATL and NJ is like watching the Jerry Springer show. And DC is kind of a snooze fest, but atleast they're not snatching each others' wigs and hair weaves...

I agree. I have attempted to watch DC HW, several times. I am not able to watch an entire episode. I am just 'not feeling it'. This show does not capture nor hold my interest. Just being honest.

Love all of the other HW shows!

Thanks for listening, Bravo.

Keep your head up girl. All of them are haters! Your hubby is a go getter and jealousy is all around you both.

Andy, Andy, Andy - have been looking for a schedule of Housewives of D.C. for season 2 after reading that it had not be renewed.....yahoo and thank god. If the Salahi's should show up again , I would have to put my foot thru my huge flat screen TV. They are truly unbelievable in all they say and all they do. I rather watch the real Housewives of Milwaukee !! I will not watch HW of D.C. every again ! But I do love Cat ! Perhaps she should have her own show.....
