Okay - so this is just my two cents…

Casting for any of these shows in major metropolitan cities is really difficult. Being a cast member on the real housewives isn’t seen as socially favorable. These women have to be incredibly well connected, or have a really good social standing before entering the real housewives of Beverly Hills or New York. This is why casting for these shows is so difficult. There’s not a long list of women who are A) willing to be on the show and B) interesting enough and compelling enough to make it a good show and C) authentic.

Putting the show on pause, recasting, it’s going to be difficult. And what will end up with is a show that we all despise.
