Hopes were high for Season 15 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/a><\/strong>. Alas, most fans were disappointed by the season. After Garcelle Beauvais<\/a> peaced out after the Season 14 reunion, Bravo added two new housewives.<\/p>\n While one was a newbie to reality TV, the other was a beloved Bravolebrity. Rachel Zoe<\/a>, who previously helmed The Rachel Zoe Project<\/a>, picked up a diamond. Plus, the fashionista had a strong storyline, filing for divorce while the cameras rolled for Season 15. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, \u201cMoney Queen\u201d Amanda Frances<\/a> was a polarizing pick. On the plus side, she had everyone talking, from the cast to the viewers. It\u2019s rare for one cast member to annoy all of their co-stars, but Amanda wouldn\u2019t be denied this honor. She kept everyone on their toes, from her wild backstory of being in a cult to her business involving the energetic side of money.<\/p>\n Still, Season 15 crept along at a crawl, dragging out arguments for multiple episodes. When both RHOBH and The Valley<\/a> weren\u2019t mentioned in Bravo\u2019s renewals, fans reacted. Later, Kyle Richards<\/a> confirmed that RHOBH wasn\u2019t paused<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to some fans, following this season\u2019s performance, RHOBH needs a reset.<\/p>\n Photo Credit: Griffin Nagel\/Bravo<\/p>\n During the early seasons of RHOBH, it was all about well-heeled ladies, showing off their fabulous lifestyles and dramatic friendships. The relationships felt authentic, and viewers cared about the cast members and their lives. Remember the lavish wedding that Lisa Vanderpump<\/a> and her husband, Ken Todd<\/a>, gifted their daughter, Pandora Sabo<\/a>? And Kyle and her husband, Mauricio Umansky\u2019s<\/a>, epic annual White Party?<\/p>\n As Lisa said in her Season 3 tagline, \u201cLife isn\u2019t all diamonds and Ros\u00e9, but it should be.\u201d However, as the seasons progressed, so did the intensity of the drama. During Season 15, it felt as if the cast fell into two groups. One group backed Kyle, while another sided with Dorit Kemsley<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dorit\u2019s falling out with longtime friends Kyle and Erika Jayne<\/a> served as the backbone of the season. In Italy, Dorit stranded her two friends, leaving them to call for another van to pick them up. The ensuing arguments among the trio were brutal and nasty.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Kyle, Dorit, and Rachel were all embroiled in marital separations or navigating divorces. As for Sutton Stracke<\/a>? She was putting her best foot forward and making some lifestyle changes, like cutting down on drinking as she adjusted to an empty nest. And Bozoma Saint John<\/a> became engaged to Keely Watson<\/a>.<\/p>\n While there was plenty of material for storylines, it seemed as if the same ones were being recycled<\/a>. Cue Kyle and Dorit\u2019s arguments from Season 14. And, at times, it felt as if some of the women had no authentic connection. Overall, this season lacked the feel-good factor that viewers always adored.<\/p>\n Photo Credit: Todd Williamson\/Bravo<\/p>\n RHOBH needs to bring back the feeling of fans peeking into the luxe lives of its cast members. Don\u2019t just show viewers a shopping trip and the totals that Dorit spent. We want to see more of the RHOBH ladies at home, with their families, and on fabulous vacations.<\/p>\n Of course, one criticism leveled at Beverly Hills is that some cast members don\u2019t show their lives. During Season 15, Kyle spoke of being in a relationship with someone after her separation from Mauricio. However, she wouldn\u2019t confirm the person\u2019s identity. So, besides some regrets about her separation from Mauricio and planning her daughter, Alexia Umansky\u2019s<\/a> wedding, Kyle didn\u2019t show much to viewers.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Dorit\u2019s divorce claimed a ton of screen time. However, we didn\u2019t see Dorit spending time at home with her children.<\/p>\n In addition, I applauded Erika for opening up about a past domestic violence incident. Still, I would have loved to witness her relationship dynamic with her new boyfriend, John \u201cShrek\u201d McPhee<\/a>.<\/p>\n Not only do RHOBH fans need to see the ladies\u2019 lives, but we also need to care about their connections. And that has been difficult during Season 15. Since the cast didn\u2019t generate buzz or create a bond with viewers, talk of a cast refresh<\/a> surfaced.<\/p>\n Photo Credit: Trae Patton\/Bravo<\/p>\n Some RHOBH fans felt that the show could use a brief pause to update the cast. While Amanda certainly created chaos with her baby voice and unwillingness to argue, the fans seemed split about her return<\/a>. And although Rachel gifted us some amazing confessionals and her divorce storyline, some fans felt uncomfortable with the way she quizzed her sons on-camera.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, after Dorit\u2019s rude behavior during the season, some viewers wondered if it was time for her to take a breather. And others called out Kyle\u2019s 15 years on the series and questioned whether she was still interested in filming.<\/p>\n Overall, the show needs a cast with real connections, which automatically ups the stakes and the drama. Two people who barely know each other arguing didn\u2019t give old-school RHOBH. It gave meh.<\/p>\n After all, a light cast refresh could invigorate RHOBH. If Bravo replaced a couple of cast members with newbies who had connections to current housewives, it could give the franchise new energy.<\/p>\n Plus, if Bravo promoted Jennifer Tilly<\/a> to full-time, and hired some new faces who are wealthy, quirky, and fashionable like she is, Season 16 could be a home run.<\/p>\n The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/a>\u00a0is available to stream on Peacock.<\/p>\n TELL US \u2013 SHOULD RHOBH BE PUT ON PAUSE?<\/strong><\/p>\n The post Should RHOBH Be Put on Pause?
