I'm sure that no one is surprised to hear this news but the folks over at the Bravo Network have decided to give it a go for a second season of their hit "The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
The show was basically much more popular than anticipated, building from 650,000 viewers the first episode to 2.8 million viewers by the time the reunion came along two months later. It has also generated incredible response here on this blog. People may dislike these ladies, but truth be told... we can't get enough of them!
Or we can take the press release quote from the Bravo exec, in less-than-colorful business-speak:
“The level of engagement on Atlanta far surpasses a typical series on cable or broadcast, with our viewers deepening their connection to the show through live wireless chats, daily blogs and additional footage online,” said Frances Berwick, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Bravo. “This, along with the "colorful" (GHETTO & TACKY) personalities of our housewives, helped drive the series to a watercooler sensation.”
I'm reaaaaaaally hoping that they've been shooting for a while now, and that they have all of this drama with NeNe and her house on their! Ohhhhhhh, wouldn't that be juicy? I anticipate all five housewives will be back. I’m not sure if they are contractually required to be around for a second season but my guess is yes. I highly doubt that the forever scheming wanna-be fashion queen Sheree Whitfield would pass up another opportunity to get her name out there some more for her "fashion show" with no fashion... as my boy Dwight put it!
There hasn't been a premiere date for season two, but I'm guessing sometime this spring or early summer we can expect to see our brokedown housewives back in action. I'm also hoping that Kim gets a new wig, or that Dwight keeps his word and brings her into the 21st century! Either will do!
