The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast filmed their reunion on Friday. And, amid the taping, Bravo released the official seating chart, sparking many fans — and The Valley: Persian Style star Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi — to weigh in.
As host Andy Cohen, 57, reacted to the taping with a post-filming selfie, and Amanda Frances, 41, applauded fiancé Eddie Tsivislavsky for supporting her along the way, fans questioned the first chair selection and wondered what the ladies actually had to talk about.
“This is so major. The [RHOBH] Reunion is underway,” Bravo announced on March 13.
In the accompanying photo, Kyle Richards, 57, and Dorit Kemsley, 49, were seated in the chairs next to Andy, with Kyle followed by Erika Jayne, 54, Sutton Stracke, 54, and Jennifer Tilly, 67, to Andy’s right, and Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 49, Rachel Zoe, 54, and Kathy Hilton, 66, to his left.
After the chart was shared, commenters admitted they weren’t super excited to see the upcoming special, with some hoping it wouldn’t be three episodes.
“And what exactly are we going to talk about?” one person asked.
“Already guarantee this reunion could have been an email,” said another.
As for the cast placement, a third person said, “This makes absolutely no sense at all. Kyle barely did anything this season.”
“Get Kyle out of that first chair that rightfully belongs to Rachel,” someone else agreed.
Another person suggested that Amanda should have had a chair closer to Andy.
“Why is Amanda basically last chair and she was the only person bringing drama this season??” they asked.
“How can Amanda be the topic for most of the season and not first chair?” wondered someone else.
GG also felt that Amanda, despite their recent tiff, deserved better placement.
“I’d switch Amanda with Sutton,” she stated. “She might have been a little sassy with me but she owned it and apologized. She also had more air-time and relevance this season than Sutton. Just sayin.’”
Following the taping, Andy posed outside of his trailer.
“Long day … Great reunion … Just wrapped!” he wrote with a pic shared to his Instagram Story.
Also on Instagram, Amanda shared a video titled, “We graduated RHOBH today.”
“I just finished the reunion,” she told her fans and followers from bed with Eddie.
“Can I tell you something? You’re a really, really fantastic, wonderful man,” Amanda told her partner. “You took all of this in stride. You supported me endlessly. You knew my heart, no matter what comments and trolls said. You kept up with everything. You knew everything everyone was saying about me, but, like, you only told me when I needed to know, and you always told me in ways that I could hear it, and you just had my back, like, beyond what anyone could ever understand. And I just, I’m thankful for you. You know it wasn’t necessarily easy on you. You’re such a strong, like, real man. You don’t get intimidated or emasculated. I’m just thankful. Most people couldn’t handle what we just went through.”
“You gave no f*cks when I was giving the most f*cks, you always had such a good perspective. But you don’t kiss my ass. You’re so honest with me when you think I’m wrong,” she added.
“That’s what it’s supposed to be like,” Eddie replied. “Push each other when you need to be pushed. You’re soft and gentle when you need to be soft and gentle.”
