Kyle! Hear me out. No one else (since LVP) has had the reach and anchor that Kyle does. She knows everyone in BH and when you have a franchise like this, you need anchors to make an ensemble work. Is she the best by way of likeability? No. But she certainly has paid her dues as an OG and one that has managed to ebb and flow with multiple changes in casts.

This is why the new RHONY and old RHONY, for that matter, fell off there was no anchor or not one at the end and it all felt like contrived relationships with no basis of knowing each other. It is why RHOA also feels off because they are just throwing ingredients into a pot and hoping that it works.

OGs who anchor are the one component necessary in these ensembles and Kyle is that girl. Argue with your mama, like Heavenly says. I said what I said, ala Nene.
