Adding famous people never works because it messes with the dynamic and people can tell. The best formula is to find people who are well known and affluent in their community or D list actresses (that’s not a diss). The d list girls are the best because they’re familiar with how tv works and know how to bring it soap opera style. Every time they try to bring on a big name it flops because they’re not really Housewives. The only franchise where it works is RHobh because Beverly Hills is filled with actresses who are now housewives.
