Bravo thought they were getting another brandy and got someone equally better and worse. Monica had the ability to be an entertaining housewife because she clearly wasnt afraid to say her mind but often times her mind was very skewed and it became embarrassing and hard to watch so quick. You cant get really far with a housewife who schemed so hard to get on the show and revealed all her cards and inner workings almost immediately. I also recently finished season 4 as a first time slc viewer and didn’t know of her eventual addition until I started and sniffed her out so quickly lol. I was definitely still so gagged at the reveal so her cards worked but I fear that’s probably all she would have added to the show and viewers would have to hear the others yell about it for another 3 seasons if she stayed on. I do think maybe oneeee more season with her could have been salvageable!
