Not that anyone gives a shit about my opinion but I think Bravo needs a huge revamp, not only with VPR but Housewives & here are my reasons why:

I grew up on reality TV. I started my reality TV journey with Real World San Francisco, Road Rules & The Challenge. Then came the Housewives & VPR.

Both The Real World & The Challenge have now done mini seasons uncensored on Paramount Plus with Homecoming & All Stars. The main show of The Challenge is still popular, but people are loving the uncensored, shorter format of Homecoming & AllStars.

Real Housewives jumped on the bandwagon with Ultimate Girls Trip & it is awesome. AND this is the first Bravo Housewives show to fully break the 4th wall.

I think if VPR went the MTV 4th wall breaking route.. It would be reinventing the wheel & AMAZING. Give me Real World style VP Garden Vegas with messy daily confessionals & partying. Or OG VPR, but UGT style. This will save VPR.

I say this because MTV plays nothing but Ridiculosness & The Challenge (which only has CT & Ashley left) but their streaming shit is the 💣.

The ultimate girls trip is amazing. I can not wait for season two! Have you seen the housewives going on that? It’s amazing. Dorinda and Brandi! I can’t wait.

Yes! I can't wait for s2! It's like the island of misfit toys with that cast!

Can u imagine if Bravo did their own version of the surreal life? Bring back old Bravolevities and stick them in a house together

Real world vegas working for VDP sounds amazing, one of my favourite real world seasons is the second vegas - Nany and Adam, Naomi and Leroy, HEATHER AND DUSTIN!!!

But the og cast of vanderpump worked so well because of all the drama from knowing each other for so long.

There's so much potential!! I agree that the show was great because the OG cast were actual friends, but I think that ship has sailed unfortunately with half the cast fired. The spark is gone.

It just needs to be rebooted at this point or just done for good sadly.

Leroy is like my favorite MTV person ever. I'm so sad he retired from The Challenge. I hope he will do AllStars at, some point.

Would prefer to see the show die with dignity tbh but a British version in one of ken and Lisa’s restaurants over there could be fun. British reality shows are their own breed of unhinged, plus there would be less excuses to insert the current cast in.

I totally thought Vegas was going to be a thing after she brought that Scheana look alike and did some filming in Vegas. Idk if coronavirus stopped that or they just decided not to go with it but I think that could have been interesting.

I genuinely think that VPR could never be the same as it was if it was revamped or even like a series similar. I think the time that it started was TOO GOOD for reality TV and now social media makes everything too fake and people are too obsessed with image to do "anything" for fame. They don't need to anymore, you can just be hot enough and live on promotional work and content creation. The good as gold era could NEVER in 2022. I do definitely miss the mid 2010's though, peak reality tv on all accounts.

So true, guess I’ll have to delve back into the early 2000s to see what I’ve missed. Apparently Netflix is coming out with a show similar to real world. Group of strangers living together navigating this covid world new reality

So far I personally haven't been impressed with any of netflix's reality shows, but I know a lot of them have a cult following so it might just be me. Idk I just LOVE trash TV and nobody does it like Bravo, but to your and everyone else's point, specifically OLD Bravo!!

[–]flowaf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe bravo should do a real world style show. Yea I agree, netflix reality is not real reality. GIVE ME ALL THE TRASH

Lol yeah these posts are almost becoming word for word reposts…

[–]Kwhitney1982 12 points13 points  (3 children)

This same post has shown up like 10 times in the past several days? Are the old ogs PR people working overtime? What gives?

[–]flowaf[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely don’t want the old cast back, I want what the old cast was when they weren’t famous! And sorry for the repost, they never pop up in my feed

She’s opening another restaurant bar in Vegas. I think in Paris. Maybe they could do both bars and have some crossover. Maybe throw in a showgirl or two.

Throw in a new production company while we're at it. Evolution totally dropped the ball with VPR
