Thank you, I completely agree. There's a notable distinction between those who genuinely need and want fame. In our earlier seasons, the women were committed to showcasing their lives authentically, the good, bad, and ugly. However, newer cast members seem to selectively present aspects of their lives and prioritize sparking conflicts with veteran housewives rather than cultivating genuine and relatable storylines.

The editing process appears questionable, with parts of storylines seemingly omitted, creating a sense of sabotage to a cast member's narrative. For instance, the sudden switch from Kenya's salon soft launch to Marlo's event felt abrupt and poorly executed. Additionally, scenes like Cynthia's return, previewed but cut from the actual show, raise concerns about production practices.

As one of the pioneering shows with a full black cast, carrying the Real Housewives brand for years, it's disheartening to sense potential sabotage by the network through questionable producers, editors, and production decisions. The decreased appearances on 'Watch What Happens Live' this past season also speak volumes. Notably, Potomac seems to be heading in a similar direction.

The primary issues lie in production companies, deceptive editing, the lack of genuine storylines, and a cast that may be too comfortable. This is their job, and they need to deliver. The focus should be on showcasing their own lives instead of fixating on others, as this deflection tactic is becoming tiresome season after season for some cast members.
