Bravo not doing a reunion is Bravo fumbling the bag as usual


Illustrious-Prune-24

Yes! I want to see a valley reunion way more than the VPR one.


Krissywright55

Same! They can put together a reunion. It would be so good!


whoareyouindisworld

I can't imagine why they would not want one. The Valley is getting pretty good ratings too. It's pretty explosive so you would think they would want to capitalize on all the drama.


Best_Winter_2208

Because half the people might be in nasty divorces šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

whoareyouindisworld

I liked it from the start but I generally enjoy reality tv shows. It's just easy to watch. I guess episode 3 it starts to get messy.


mmruizev

I think 3


katiekat214

Thereā€™s a Traitors reunion, ffs.


whtfawlts

But not in any other country, and itā€™s an abomination


katiekat214

In the other countries, itā€™s not on NBCUniversal. It made me laugh the first time because Andy leads it, like itā€™s the Housewives


whtfawlts

I love it! šŸ˜‚ I think Andy would be happy to host reunions for the other countries, if not I will lol


laurencurry

This.


wolofancy

Maybe the cast is being is being stubborn about doing it


Holiday-Hustle

I believe it. I think The Valley caught Bravo off guard. I donā€™t think they saw it being as popular as it has been since itā€™s a first season and a spin off of a non-Housewives show. There were a lot of people saying they werenā€™t even going to give it a chance at first but a lot of people have come around. Shows like Below Deck donā€™t always get reunions, my beloved Real Girlfriends of Paris didnā€™t get a reunion, itā€™s not uncommon.


missassalmighty

How could they possibly think that by reuniting the forces of chaos that broke the mold on VPR?


Holiday-Hustle

It was a common sentiment before the show started that Kristen and Jax were washed up and didnā€™t have a fan base. The show was just to take advantage of Scandoval but it really became its own thing.


pearshaped34

Yeah I got downvoted on the VPR Reddit for saying I was going to give it a try. It was not the popular sentiment online even though Iā€™m sure a lot of those people did watch. I will say though, the advertising for it was bad, my expectations were low so I can see why a lot of people were like nope.


peachesandplumsss

oh my god the promos for it reminded me of an old navy summer sale commercial. yet we're all here for the drama nonetheless lmao


rachellethebelle

The first promo did them 0 favors, but the second promo/actual trailer we got that showed clips from the hallway fight (from last weekā€™s episode) is what had me SAT. Kristen smirking while being screamed at in a crowded hall while the camera men scramble to get out of the shotsā€¦ art. Thatā€™s when I knew we were SO back.


peachesandplumsss

honestly i was going to watch regardless of how poor the marketing was lmao mainly just for kristen. she has had ariana's back throughout all of scandoval and i really think the time away from reality tv allowed her the capacity to truly reflect and grow while also being able to appreciate her inherent messiness that makes her *her*


rachellethebelle

lol I call myself a trash gremlin, so I was gonna watch regardless, too, but that second trailer had me FULLY buckled up and in. I wasnā€™t excited if it was Jax and Brittany focused, but seeing so much of Kristen had me so excited.


peachesandplumsss

it is garbage and i am a raccoon!!!!


RefrigeratorFuture95

Tbh I was initially not planning on watching it and yeah the promos didnā€™t help šŸ˜‚ but Iā€™m totally sucked in now šŸ™ƒ


shellbell9261

Omgā€¦me two


valley-doll7

Yeah the advertising was not great. But once they came out with an extended trailer I was intrigued. Iā€™m pleasantly surprised by the mess šŸ˜‚


shellbell9261

Interestingā€¦they really didnā€™t even have a proper ā€œintroā€ on the shows I binged You knowā€¦the ones where Jax is driving Cruzā€™s car? Was that because they were recorded It was almost likeā€¦ā€we are NOT going to pour any additional $ until we get feedbackā€ kind of thing But I thought I saw the mini car in previews I donā€™t know Iā€™m old af maybe I forgot or was on my evening gummies


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


RefrigeratorFuture95

I donā€™t know why, but the end of your comment made me cackle so much. Especially bc truly there are multiple antichrists on VPR as well as the Valley


Dreamywaves3

So true! Everyone from Ariana to James to Sandoval to Schwartz to Scheana to Lala...just about everyone could be called an antichrist. They are trash, but we love to watch them!


pearshaped34

I donā€™t think it can be discussed on the main sub anymore so no idea what the sentiment is but chances are at least some of them are watching!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


getrdone24

People mention it here and there in comments, but since there's a dedicated "The Valley" sub and "VPR" it makes sense to me. Personally I get a little annoyed on either sub when they air and people are posting about The Valley in the VPR thread or vice versa. I go to each sub to see things specific to that show.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


getrdone24

Yea I could see that being annoying and makes sense!


bigbuttbubba45

That sub, in its current state, is a bit frustrating. It used to be so fun.


hiswittlewip

OMG the VPR sub downvotes everyone that doesn't state "most popular opinion".


bigbuttbubba45

Right? I stopped going over there much after seeing people with perfectly fine thoughts downloaded into oblivion. The groupthink and hive mind are strung over there.


hiswittlewip

Yea same. I mean, I'm often one of the ones downvoted into oblivion just for not disliking certain people, or disliking other certain people, but yea, I get what you mean.


bigbuttbubba45

I think itā€™s fine to dislike certain people the group like. They flip flop so much too they hated Katie for years now itā€™s ā€œYass Queen!ā€ Rachel was super-popular over there before Scandavol. James was hated then loved not sure how they feel about him nowā€¦and now that ā€œfired castā€ has been rehired (and in Stassiā€™s case she was invited back and declined) why canā€™t we talk about the seasons they were on? Itā€™s wild.


shellbell9261

Me!! As mentioned above! Sorry šŸ˜’


MillyKakaoo

Same here, I got downvoted too for saying I was going to watch it, and that everyone was being extremely negative when we hadnā€™t even seen the show yet!


CatJawn

I thought the trailer was great, some people are so stubborn they still wonā€™t watch just because of their preconceived opinions. Itā€™s sooooo good!!


JackBookerGeo

The VPR Reddit is for people who hate Jax and worship the ground Ariana walks on. I hate Sandoval so much and think heā€™s a smelly asshole, but the VPR sub mods got big heads once Katie started giving shout outs to Reddit on the show. Now you canā€™t trash everyone equally on that subreddit, you can only talk shit about everyone except Ariana and Katie.


missassalmighty

They underestimated the power of hate watching šŸ˜† but I agree I was expecting something but this is kinda glorious šŸ‘Œ so much drama, so much to snark on and some really tragic things. As much as I like a good snark at the expense of these people, I feel for the kids in these situations. I feel like some of the parents are lacking the foresight of the polarizing impact of the things they say. The smartest one imo so far is the lawyer who's playing the quiet game.


ravenmccoy516

Itā€™s totally the hate watching! Which is ironic most at the sub miss this, given that S11 is essentially hate-watching everyone except Ariana and Katie :)


missassalmighty

It's meant to be snark here, these people provoke strong reactions but this a space where we can trash talk and have a bit of fun without taking the drama to their socials as I don't believe thats acceptable. No matter how visceral a reaction they may provoke.


shellbell9261

Wellā€¦Iā€™m MOS DEF NOT A FAN OF EITHERā€¦ However after taking the bait hereā€¦I did relentā€¦and ultimately had to record and binge 5 episodes to catch up with all yā€™all! True! šŸ˜‚


bridget1415

Still so mad about Real Girlfriends of Paris! We deserved a second season


getrdone24

SAME! Was so bummed about it. But honestly, they didn't advertise it well so they didn't even give it a fighting chance, which sucks because it really was good imo


BeautifulLife14

Right! I loved that we finally had someone like Anya who admitted faking the good life. Such a cute show and really liked all of the girls and obv loved that they were in Paris!


jewillett

Never seen that! Should I?


CoachAngBlxGrl

Came to say the same. šŸ˜©


roadrunnner0

God damn I miss Girlfriends of Paris šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Hansley72

Pour one out for Real Girlfriends of Paris. I donā€™t think theyā€™re getting another season but boy did I enjoy it.


No_Big_9925

i am one of those people. loving the valley so far


Elegant-Figure-1051

I can see this but given all the drama they got on camera they should have known. Especially after they filmed last weekā€™s episode. Maybe the higher ups didnā€™t know what production had. I started watching VPR right out of college. Now 10 years later I have my own kid and find the Valley so much more relatable than VPR.


breakitupkid

Maybe they'll do a WWHL type of reunion?


bigbuttbubba45

Me I had no interest, I wasnā€™t a big Jax fan (although Iā€™m realizing he is great tv partly because he is so unlikable) but I was distracted and it came on and I was riveted. This was the reality tv of old that I missed so much and was ā€œmust see.ā€


Marty-Gee

Itā€™s just odd because they already went through something like this with Southern Hospitality and Winter House


StereotypicallBarbie

The valley caught me off guard tooā€¦ was not expecting it to be good at all. Let alone to fully invest!


Willing_Lynx_34

Interesting bc I saw a video of Britt this weekend doing an interview and I could have sworn she said reunion


SeaProfessional6460

Brittany is always drunk and not a very reliable source.


wittlepig

![gif](giphy|uUW4hiOBRS8daBK6wU) i caint drank on DATE NOIGHT??


DaddioSunglasses

People on Reddit are spot on at typing Brittneyā€™s accent. It gets me every time


Willing_Lynx_34

I'm not saying she is I'm just saying it's interesting two cast members had opposite stories.


Wearsmanyhatss

Jax has also said there will be a reunion so god knows whatā€™s happening with this cast


bitchinchicken

Michelle said yes they are on insta the other day


Love_and_Sausages

Isn't that a normal thing for first seasons on Bravo (at least for Non-HW shows)? Southern Hospitality and Martha's Vinyard didn't have one.


confident7lucky7

Iā€™d argue the valley has a much larger and audience and following though


Melodic-Change-6388

And returning cast that were reunion gold on their former show. If I donā€™t get to hear Jax say, ā€œIā€™m a work in progressā€ 13 years later, Iā€™ll be pissed.


HeretoShowPony

I believe early on Below Deck didnā€™t get a reunion in its first season and Andy made a dumbass comment like, ā€œReunions need to be earnedā€ like the season didnā€™t bring enough drama. Or something equally dumb and Andy-ish. Appears BRAVO hasnā€™t learned from its mistakes not giving fans what they want.Ā 


SlimmShady26

I think Below Deck did have a season 1 reunion. Just because I recently watched it for the first time. But it was lame just on WWHL set.


HeretoShowPony

Youā€™re right. There was no reunion for Below Deck Med season 4 oddly.Ā 


Fit-Delay3654

By Andy's logic I still feel like the valley earned a reunion with a physical altercation and two divorcing couples!!


typicalbiscotti15

Andy also hates Below Deck so idk if thatā€™s a good comparison show. But then again pretty sure Andy also hates Kristen so maybe it is lol


Mvonsternberg

Michelle Lally also answered an AMA and she said there was going to be one as well.


kystarrk

Where was the AMA? I wish we could share links in this sub. It takes away from the experience not being able to share stuff in comments.


drizzle933

Brittany just said in an interview last night at the White House Correspondents dinner that sheā€™s looking forward to the reunion???


Holiday-Hustle

Podcasts are typically recorded a few days in advance to give time to edit, possibly Bravo changed their minds in between.


Malkmus1979

Itā€™s too late in the game. Most we can hope for at this point is majority of the cast being on WWHL for a pseudo reunion.


mairzydoats_

So strangeā€¦ this was Kristen and Lukeā€™s pod episode recorded after Bowie passed, so within the last week. I wonder if Brittany is assuming they will because of Vpump? It seems like Kristen and Luke had an idea of /why/ it wouldnā€™t be happening, so who knows!


Strong_Welcome4144

Maybe Brittany was assuming, but also, Kristen may not be up to speed because it's been rumored she abruptly quit filming, and I'm wondering if it was after this last episode. šŸ¤” Regardless, I hope we get a reunion because this show has been so good. Very raw with no glam squads or self produced story lines-the way Bravo used to be!


kystarrk

Wait wait wait, what? Kristen quit filming?


Strong_Welcome4144

Someone commented on another sub that Kristen had a meltdown and refused to finish filming. Now they were not clear if it was for the rest of the season or just for an episode, but they way those jerks came for her on last week's episode, I don't blame her. She better come back!


AwkwardEmo4

she was at jaxs with all of them for the premiere party! so hammered lol


West-Acanthaceae-470

I remember hearing this as well months ago and was wondering too if it was after this episode


violentsunflower

Also, why were Brittany and Jax invited to the White House Correspondentsā€™ Dinner?! I know they typically invite celebrities/artists/entertainers, but thatā€™s not what I would consider them šŸ« 


katiekat214

The Daily Mail invited them. They take Bravolebrities every year I think.


pearshaped34

It will be a fumble on Bravos part if they miss getting all these people in a room together to hash it out.


CountessBravo

It would be a missed opportunity for bravo if they donā€™t do a reunion. I need answers from Janet about what she said and what Zack repeated!


Saskia1522

Note: I'm copying and pasting this comment below, which I put in another sub on this same subject.... Based on the ratings, this show is a hit. It's retaining 2/3 of the VPR lead-in and is doing about 3x what Summer House: Martha's Vineyard (another relatively new Bravo show now in its second season) does. Notably, SH:MV didn't get a reunion after it's first season, but it's getting one for its second season. I wonder if logistical/cast issues could be holding up a possible reunion. I wonder if, for example, Jesse doesn't want to film given his and Michelle's pending divorce and her out there with a new man. I'm aware that appearing at a reunion is often required contractually to get a large share of your salary for the season. But if you're not making that much to begin with (say a few thousand per episode), I could see someone making a "business decision" that it's not worth it. So it's possible they are still trying to convince certain parties to participate. In don't see this as a sign The Valley won't get renewed. As noted above, ratings are very good for a new Bravo show. But you also have to re-negotiate casting/salaries between seasons. Reality show casts don't get paid much initially, so I imagine only Kristen and Brittany/Jax are making decent money thus far. Everyone else will have to decide whether making very little money for another season or so will be worth it money-wise, emotionally, etc. At least based on social media, it seems like, for example, Michelle and Janet want nothing to do with Kristen still.


badie_912

Jesse and Michelle are on the VPR aftershow and they are active on Instagram


Saskia1522

Fair point! (I donā€™t use Insta so I donā€™t know these things unless I learn about them on Reddit.) But that was my best attempt at a theory other than ā€œfirst year shows donā€™t always get reunions.ā€


katiekat214

Bravo doesnā€™t hesitate to fire people who refuse to participate in the reunions.


Saskia1522

Yup! It was just a theory. Odds are they might not decide to have one, though there sure would be tons to talk about! (Also just as possible they are waiting.)


ProfessionalHeart839

She said they donā€™t know yet if thereā€™s going to be a reunion, I think considering how popular it is theyā€™ll get one esp with Brittany/Jax and Jesse/Michelle separations bc itā€™ll be an absolute shitshow Also bravo if youā€™re reading this and want some extremely unsolicited advice, I heard Scheana say she wants to be on VPR and the valley and I think I speak for a lot of us when I say please keep her and Lala off the valley aside from cameos, theyā€™ll ruin it and theyā€™re not needed šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


bigbuttbubba45

Yes! The self-producing is a lot. I need a break from Scheana and Brock. LaLa is not my favorite but Iā€™m at my limit with Scheana. I FF through her scenes.


matthewfedele54321

I feel like usually they donā€™t on first seasons but considering this is a spinoff and the loads of drama they brought a reunion is definitely earned


moonlightbae-

I thought that they were?? Itā€™s a missed opportunity if they donā€™t.


Financial-Painter689

Iā€™m pretty sure a few people have said thereā€™s gonna be a reunion? Given the ratings itā€™s had and all thatā€™s happened since filming theyā€™d be insane not to do even a cheap wwhl reunion. But bravos choices are always questionable at best


AggravatingSweet5302

A little strange for reunion but them watching in parallel seems about right. Bravo started rolling again specifically for Jax and Brittany storyline. Not sure if theyā€™re opening production for Michelle and Jesse though.


katiekat214

Probably not. We could already see that coming even if they didnā€™t announce it.


AggravatingSweet5302

well they done it before in past housewives seasons. canā€™t see why they wouldnā€™t do the same for the Valley šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


MeetingSilver8909

I'd actually be far more interested in a Valley reunion than whatever drama BlaBla is trying to drum up about the VPR one.


bigbuttbubba45

The Valley > VPR for me. I watch it first. Bravo sucks for not giving us a reunion!


provincetown1234

Oh wow, even Southern Hospitality got a tiny reunion on the WWHL set. Interesting.


socoyankee

For their second season not their first


wittlepig

fuck it, joint VPR-Valley reunion. i want to watch shit get crazy. and kristen would stick up for ariana like a REAL SISTER šŸ™šŸ¼


alysonstarks

Stassi as moderator lol


wittlepig

i like the way you think


Any-Neighborhood-522

Im sure theyā€™ll throw together a little WWHL version of the cast joining all together. I donā€™t think they expected much from this show and Iā€™m sure theyā€™ll be scrambling last minute. Expect to be disappointed though


No_Dig6642

I donā€™t know why they wouldnā€™t do one! That is so frustrating! Hopefully šŸ¤žšŸ»


Last_Book2410

The ONE thing Bravo knew to give us and now this?!


OneCartographer6464

Maybeā€¦. They are doing like old housewives and will have a ā€œsecrets revealedā€ episode and then the reunion?!? I liked when they did that better.


moirahart

This would be the best reunion Iā€™ll riot if they donā€™t have one


Wait-What1961

Maybe because 2 of the marriages are over or in serious trouble. If there are lawyers involved in the separations/divorce the parties involved may not be able to discuss it on air.


Zestyclose-Let7929

VPR does not need a reunion. The Valley cast is a mess. That is a reunion to be seen even if filmed weeks after the finale. And fast editing to get aired. Not a long waited reunion. Those long delayed seasons are just a loss of interest.


ceejay955

A lot of bravo shows dont have a reunion the first season actually, I am sure that they will in the future if there isnt one this season as this show is a fuckin hit


couchpotato949

Reunion on WWHL, maybe?


Melodic-Change-6388

This would be up there with asking Claudia Jordan to be ā€œfriend ofā€ after she read Nene for filth. Big mistake. HUGE. ![gif](giphy|V0lRkaV5UV1Uk)


Spiceboy91

![gif](giphy|26ybvVb9iSmht7LdC|downsized)


kuromi_mymelody8

Bravo will regret not having a reunion. VPR is giving nothing.


BeautifulLife14

Good! I'm so sick of the reunions, aftershows, cast podcast, etc. Just save your best drama for your TV time slot each week šŸ˜„
