After watching part 2 of RHOA’s Reunion show and Bravo’s Watch What Happens Next Live this past Sunday, viewers were treated with a special treat—a sneak peak at the first episode of the Real Housewives of Miami. After being suddenly thrust into the spotlight after the Real Housewives of New York went bust (they needed more time to film and edit their next installment), Andy Cohen and the powers that be at Bravo decided to flip the script and premiere RHOM ahead of schedule.
I watched the entire preview episode as well as the full premiere show last night, but I wasn’t impressed with this latest stable of Real Housewives. For some reason, they either seemed too old or too plastic to be entertaining. But since it is one of the best franchises on reality television, I will give them a few more tries before calling them a complete bust.
Larsa Pippin (wife of former Chicago Bulls player Scottie Pippin) looks like she is going to cause some problems this season, and PR firm owner Marysol Patton seems like she will bring some comic fodder to the group. I guess we will have to stay tuned to see what develops!
Here are pics of the RHOM cast at their premiere party at Eden Rock on Miami Beach.
What did you think of the new RHOM cast? Snore, bore, or adore?

Snore. (waaaay to pretentious)
Monica, I am going to give it another try, but if they don’t amuse me, I won’t be watching any longer. RHODC were a snore as well.
Ohh I missed this and was looking forward to watching it. I have to schedule my DVR right now. Too plastic – isn’t that a prerequisite for being on the Real Housewives?
Jeni, I don’t find the Real Housewives of ATL or NYC plastic—they are very authentic and in your face. A few of the Miami women looks tranny-esque. There’s a difference between a little nip and tuck here and a total overhaul. LOL
Bored – I sure hope it gets better, I’m not going to give up on them yet!
I wasn’t impressed. Boring to me. But it’s not really even that. It’s nothing different. Just different women in a different state with the same foolishness. I watched only about 20 minutes before I changed the channel.
Which one is Pippen’s wife??
Actually she didn’t make the premiere event but here is a picture of her: http://ballerwives.com/2009/06/20/nba-scottie-pippins-wife-larsa-younan/scottie_larsa_pippen/
Just a quick update – I watched “The Real Housewives of Miami” and I was sad that it didn’t hold my attention at all, and I turned it off 45 minutes into it. Miami is my favorite city, but I just couldn’t get into the women on the show, and I already watch enough TV. I can’t wait for the OC version to come back next week!
I’m over the housewives franchise, same ish different city.
