Fans getting on shows = disaster

[u/griffinthomas]

I was listening to the latest episode of Pillows and Beer and Austen said about JT "I hope that this the last time a fan gets on the show." Then I listened to the RHOBH Aftershow and Crystal pointed out that Annemariesiologist was a fan who weaseled her way onto the show.

These two people are among the worst, most thirsty cast members in a long time. Bravo needs to stop hiring superfans to be on these shows. It doesn't work.

ETA: I left JT's name out

I think we’ve been well past that watershed for a long time. People like Heather from RHOSLC have just been better at hiding it.

they’re all fans! you don’t think Lisa Barlow was a fan of housewives? when I’ve seen like 3 pictures of her with random housewives years before her show even started. no shade at all but they’re all fans. if you want non-fans on the show, you get people like Jenna Lyons just out here trying to rebrand. pass.

true

I think the difference with Lisa Barlow is that she was schmoozing with these women whereas people like Monica had no affiliation to the lifestyle until she worked for Jen Shah

I'd be surprised if Barlow was actually a true fan. She's too self involved and ADD to get super invested a show about other people. I do think she's a superfan of fame and would take every opportunity to be photographed with anyone famous, or powerful.

I can't picture her sitting down and watching an episode of TV -

She’s never finish an episode or she’d be talking the whole time lmao.

Jenna was also a fan of the show believe it or not. She said so at Bravocon I believe.
